John Strohm, The nomination of John Strohm Canal Commissioner at once threwite Locofoco camp into consternation, nor have they yet, nor aro they likely to .re never from the trepidation. They feet Mr. Strohm's popularity—his strength , with the people. They recollect his past :ter vices, and their past praises. They.kuoar his almost unequalled qualificstiorul the office for which he is nordinated.4— Hence it is that they are all in full cry ter him—hunting him down. Hence, it is that, throwing truth and justice aside. they have resorted to a most unjustifiable course in regard to him—falsifying his.of thetal acts and misrepresenting his voteill. It is nothing to them that all their, state meets concerning him have been dis proved time and again. It would, they think, prove their ruin were they tofio hint justice—so they persist in doing him . the grossest injustice. Bitt they shall not be lie hint with impunity. The antidote shall accompany the bane. The truth shall be kept behire the people. To :.this end, let it be remembered 14a1 John Strohm' voted fin. all the measures of the Polk a - naini:rtration for currying on the War with Mexico, except lhosefor the appoint - meal of a Lieutenant General and for - a tax on lea and coffee—both which entre urea were recommended by the President. And by the way, if John Strohm's comet) in Congress is to to he dragged into our present State contest, he should have the benefit of his votes against the infamous attempt of a Li:leaflet) President, 'Cabinet and Congress to displace and supersede ZACHARY TAYLOR and WINFIKLD SICUTt• ill command of the army in Mexico, and appoint over them a mere civilian. should have the benefit of his vote against , the proposition of time administration .to burden the poor by taxing tea and entree. Let it be remembered that, after war had been declared by Congress, John Strohm voted for every appropriation 114 the support of the Army and Navy; for increasing the pay of the soldiers, and lqr the relief of such of their number as were unable to reach their homes on account of destitution brought on by wounds or dis ease—both which latter measures were opposed by the Locolocos. John Strohm cannot be injured by these unscrupulous attacks of the Locol000s„ We know that many intelligent men of that party will give him their vows.

Joshua Wright Comly is the son of Mirka Coolly, a merchant of L'hilitlet= phis, who removed from that city to Map ton, Noriliumberlad county. Joshua W. Comly received his education at Prinoeunt College, where ho graduated with great bonor. From Princeton, Mr. Comly returned to Northumberland county, and studied law under Samuel Hepburn, Esq. After his admission to the bar, he removed to Schuylkill county, and practised law s t Orwigstnag. lie left Sehnlkill and emi, grated to Danville, now Montour, thou Columbia county, where he has resided for the last fifteen years.

Ho has never been au ae . 4 live partizan, and never in his life salami< ted political honors. H:s private eltataom ter is of the very best kind, being a gen tleman of unbending integrity, pure mord ala, and amiable temper.
