To the People of Penns}
The Whig party, the Republican party, and
the American party having each nominated a
candidate for the office of Canal Commissioner,
it becomes apparent that such a division of the
elements of opposition to the National Admin
istration and iti Nebriu3ka fraud would inevita
bly lead to the election of Arnold Plumer, the
PrctSlav'ery Nebraska candidate: In view of
the so a meeting of our respective Central
Ceitpriittees of said parties ' was bold at Harris
.burg, on Thutday, the 27th of September,
1855 ; and their nominees having declined and
been withdrawn, Thomas Nicholson, of Seaver
-Coital, was nominated as the candidate of
the said parties, for the purpose of concentra=i
ting the votes of the Anti-Nebraska party on
;owe; man, and he is hereby enrnestly recom
mended to all the lovers of freedom in Penn-
pilviutia,. as a capable; honest, and true-hearted

"They (Catholic Whigs) have long since

seen that the true conservative spirit of our

true to the Whig cause, arid zealous as over for
its principles and measures." .
One scarcely knows whether to pity
moat the weakness that assumes the air of
lofty disinterestedness thus oracularly to
pronounce upon the motives of a great pop-
War movement, the first principles' of
which the ..Soutiner seems to be utterly
unable either to comprehend or appreciate
—the spirit of arrogance which undertakes
thus to denounce "stern rebuke" and
"popular . condomnation" upon the noblest
and purest development of American Won
timent since the days of the Revolution—
or the abjeot cringing to Papal power,
which can find caught bet exalted eulogy

are we to understand this but a bold invi
'
ration to the faithful Whigs of Adams

How else is this "rebuke" to be adminis

notwithstanding the continued twaddle of
of the "Sentinel" about old-line Whigism,
and politioal consistency, its columns for ,
months have been profoundly silent upon
the subject of Locofocoi.sin. While wok

and it may be that because be is lame and
good looking that he has this sense of his rare

of the day. - He came down hard (as he thought)
on the American party,eafied them hard names,

intended this full to go the whole Locofoco

to usil itagaiast the Amerie ins i ,that just as
he was going to do, so the mass of the IVhigs
of his township would do ; he would see that
the Whigr•of his township .voted right, ke.—
I had but little to say to Lim, because his bold.

that all ho wautedWas a pair;of toils; ears. and
he would he what nature intended he should

conversation again. This reminded mo of the
fat Landlotd at Berlin,,and I inquired who he
was. I learned his name, but Cannot now call
it •to mind ; • I know it is almost as long as his
yarns. I narrated what he bad told me ; it
raised quite a laugh. I was then informed
that he was not quite as dangerous as he look
ed—that this same man had been a candidate
for nomination for the office of Sheriff last year,
and 'that he had made his brags that be would
go into Convention with not less than eighteen
delegates on the first ballot, andthat he would
be noniinaled on oho second ballot easy—but
that to lan,! behfild I begot but two delegates

cause the Whigs, of AdaMs• county were not
able to appreciate his genius, taients, and pa
triotism, he will now go over, coat, pantaloons,
and boots, to the Locofocos ; yes, and compel
the Whigs of his township to do as he does,
and vote as he does. I know but little of the
Whigs ,of his township, but I think if they are
made of the same kind of material that we are
in our county, they will not be led by the nose -
hy this "gas house" at East Berlin. I glory
in the old Whig party, and I would Congratu
late tho Whigs of Adams county that, in the
person of this Berlin Landlord, they have got .
rid of a mousing politician—ono who, because
ho was honorably defeated for office, to show
his little disposition, will array himself with
the enemies. of his country agamst the Ameri
can party. Let him go to the Locofocos—he is
indeed a fit subject for their ranks. But I very
muchquestion whetherhe can induce the ster
ling Whigs of the "Young Guard" to .go with
him. They are as much opposed to the cor
ruptions of that party now, as they ever were
in the best days of Harry Clay, and it will take
more thou the imagined eloquence of a disap
