Let the people have a fair and ' • early notice for the appointment of delegates, and we are Certain the nomination will be made with such a feeling of harmony as will insure the union of the party •• at the next electicn. But if the matter is put off until the last moment, tretll mere politicians, who have not the confidence of the people, have time to defeat the pop , ular wish by dishonest tricks, the nomination may be - made undbr feelings of excitement that wild place the " success of our cause in the greatest jeopardy. We do not suppose that the people, who have to elect the candidates, require any time to be taken to put them through a course of instructions from city politicians, on India question as the nomination of Go r. vernor. They are as competent to und•n•stand such matters as the gentlemen who kiud.y volunteer to give them information—end in most cases act withent the interested mot Wes of their would be Instructors. We • do not believe that there is a democra: in Allegheny county who could not at this moment express his pre ferences on the Gubernatorial question more clearly andindependent than many of those who think the people lack the requisite infunnat ion; and that they would rather settle the matter as soon as possible than ,to postpone it at the risk of having the party distract ed by useless discussion. The sentiments of the writer to which we have r. feared, strengthen us in the conviction that it would be - advantageous to the party to appoint the delegates at 'an early day, and we hope the gentlemen whose duty his to appoint the time for holding the primary meet ings, will &policy which is so obviously advan tageous to the welfare of the piny " AT T.

" 'STOCK GAVOLING.—By the fulluwiag, which we take from BicknellTs Reporter, it will he seen that . . the spirit. Of gambling and reckless adventure are agnie rife among the Eastern espiteli:t4. Is it not surprising that all the bit of the last sev en years liak failed to teach these Men some little pru denee, and that they will still rush headlong on des trucpon, and bring ruin and misery on all the land: "The Stock Markets of this city and of New Yea k. were in a very excited state during the last week, Salesman immense extent took place, and the spirit of stock-gambling was never more rife. In New York, fere example, during one day, $400,000 in State Stocks were sold, while in Philadelphia immense sales also took-place. The most worthless description of stocks, or at least such as were. so regarded some—months since, are now quite in demand. For example, Gi rard, which at one time sold at $1 per share, has been sepiag for some days in large qnantities at from 7 to 84. Vicksburg, which at one time sold at 50 cents a share, have been selling at 44. LT s. Bank has risen to 61, and oven the Norristown Rail Road has sold recently, at 3.

By the accompanying remarks in the Beacon Light, we observe that it war not intended for p üblication, but the bitterness of this man's abuse fully justifies an earthilitiKr of the g.anse. If the motives of other traducer 4 of Mr. Butler and his colleagues, could be ascertained with equal precision, there is little doubt they would be lout:ate spring from a similar cause—diiappointed cupidity and avarice. Ilmtnunueo, October 2J, 1843 am really surprised dist you should inquire why it is that so imprincipled a speculator as JOHN DOUGH ERTY should he opposed to the present Board of Ca nal Commissioners, and that you should be ignorant as to the causes of his bitterluvectives and malignant slanders against myself. Mr. Dougherty is one of those oppressed patriots with which the state abounds, villa has been ejected from an office on the Canal, and. driven from our im provements, to the manifest dettiment of his private interests, but to the acknowledged benefit of the pub lic. It has fallen to my lot to deal with this double-deal ing trader, in patents and portables, who had at rogant ly assumed the control over a pot Lion of our improve- Monts. Under pteteoce of a patent, 'lr. Dougherty had succeeded in laying the trade upon the Portage Rail Road, under tribute, and in diverting to his own use the revenues that should have inured to the benefit of the state! Listen while I write the items in the catalogue of our offences, and I think you will agree with me that Mr. D. has no cause to be friendly to a sot of Com missioners who have in such numerous instances in terfered with his arrogated riglits and his brazen at tempts at private speculation at the exp:nse of the Commonwealth : Item.—lf we had agreed to give Mr. Dougherty fur his plane and Ina- chin,:vy at Columbia, Rem.—lf we had given him I,r hit plane arid fixtures at Hollidaysburg, Item.—lf we had given him fur his trucks on the Columbia and Portage rnil roads, 30,070 00 Item.—lf we had allowed him for pre . . tentionat to a patent-right, for the trucks then in use, with a pro-rata compensa tion for each train subsequently put on the two rail roads, Item.-1f we had agreed to saddle thl transporter 11ith a tax of one cent, per 100 pounds on all their f-eight, (or a period of seven years 114 an annuity, which he claimed for his exchliive brae. firm—lf we had agreed to pay him for the right to use section boats nn the State Improvements, (a right to which he bas not the shadow of a claim, the sum of The will e of which , I , :n to is :t r ) int try $72,000 03 I say, if Mr. Dougherty had horn pti , l the sum of seventy-Iwo lltbusand dollars fur hi.; neatly worn out stock an worthless pretentions to patent-righu, and this too in violttion ()fan net of the L?giA:ature, which appropriated only $lO,O 0 f r the purchase of trucks, I have nodoubt that you would have seen him the ser vile adultu.rr of the men his virtuJus iadis.uatien now su bitterly reviles.

Bulk the Norfolk He rald does not forfeit its own digwity, by calling us "Loco Focios,"how do we sin by calling them "Coons?" Besides, is there any such great indignity in this nickname? Was it' not Mr. Goggle, the moor of the iioig.Amherst dinner, who pronounced a brilliant panegyric on the Raccoon, and proclaimed it to be the most fitting emblem of the Whig party? Did not two of the gentleman who gave toasts on that occa sion, take pride in recognizing their parry mider that epithet? Are not the Whigs, too, in the habit of call ing nicknames? We are "Loco Fortes." Mr Clay is to be cried up as "The Mill bey of the Slashes."— Some of their presses delight to throw up their caps on the intelligence of any great victory, and to claim it for "that same old Coon." We confess, there is nut much honor in the name of "Coons;" but was cv er a nickname more disgracefully earned by the Whigs, than was this ' same old Conn," with all its accompanying mummeries of 13401 We had the first history of the invention, sons m mho since, retailed to us by the lips of a repentant Whig of that memo. able era. He was freely avowing his contrition for the follies into which ha was then betrayed. "And pray, (wa ask,) who has the honor of starting the Conn?" "Why, (says he with a smile,) I believe I may claim that honor." He then stated, that he liv ed in one of the frontier countries of Ohio, where General Harrison was very popular, and the raccoon was very abundant—that they (the then Whigs) were determined to attend the great Whig meeting in Columbus, and to appear in all the simplicity of the frontier life. They procured for this purpose a large wagon—sawed its sides for a door and windows, so as to make some rude resemblance to a log cabin— covered its sides with muskrats, and mounted a live Coon on - the top of it—and, in this style, they appear ed in the procession at Columbus. The brilliant idea took with the party—the Coon was brought into use—and that contemptible animal became the glori ous emblem of their party. It is amusing to see the emblems which still orna ment the papers of both parties. When the Demo crats prevail, they throw the Coon upon his back, and mount the crowing Cock over him. When the Whigs away, they place the figure of the Coon over the Cock, and, for our own parts, if we are to select our em blems. give as the gallant Cock, the representative of Liberty, during the French Revolution, rather than this sly, cunning, slouching reptile of the forest.— But every man to his taste! Mr. Goggin prefers ;be Coon, and Coon let it be. A LOST Ist.aan.—One of the officers on board the U. S. Schooner Phoenix, just returned from the West Indies, says: I cannot too soon, for tho special benefit of navigators, inform them that the Island of Baxo del Combo, which is laid down on all the charts of the West Indies, does not in relaity exist, as was thoroughly and practically demonstrated by the Phoenix in her meant cruise. having ran directly ever the spot cabers it is said to-be situated. _ NEXT GOVERNOR.

We may not disguise the fact that there are really but two candidates presented to the consideration of the party, who have any kind of prominence, er any kind of Chandra!' a fair and honorable nrimination.— However highly we luny esteem all the others, whose names have been mentioned, and however competent they may b.•, it is too plain fur doubt that they have no possible chance of success with the people, while the names of the other two individuals continue on the list of candidates. I need not say that the two candi dates I menu, are Mr. SIIUNK and Mr. MUIILKSBEIiG. Many of us have our sincere attachments for other Merl, I It tee mite; hat it waa::l lie foolis!), that we should, for ono memmt, permit those attachments to drive us asid ?. from the real contest —to divert our whsle influ ence from the true point in issue , and thus, indirectly. assist those when we are most anxious to defeat. The friends of Mr. Muhlenberg are mainly confined !to the eastern part of the state; but they have not heen slothful in their endeavor to advance his claims. They have made their influence to be already felt, even in the west. Now, the fact cannot be concealed, that between those two candidates, the people of the west, and particularly of Allegheny county, arc, almost in mass, in favor of Mr. Shull. Yet we have never ! done anything directly, to manifest our opinions. It is true that, on two or three recent occasions, we have, expressed our opinions in a maanet that could not rvaddy be tnistaken. But it ayes only in cidentally. The meetings were called thr other pur poses; but the real feelings of the people would and di 1 leak out; and they came with such an irresistable gush, as to surprise these who had not observed the quiet workings of the people's minds. Of the candidates who have any chance, Mr. Shenk is the only man who can unite the people of the west. They begin to see that their attachment for others can have no influence except to favor the elevation of Mr. Muhlenberg, which they do not wish. These othercandidates must be abandoned. We must be gin to exert a positive influence. IVe must have no divided counsels. We must tell our eastern brethren clearly and decidedly, what are our preferences. Let tha voice of the democracy of Allegheny county be at once heard on the other side of the mounts ins.— That voice will ring in cheerful, joyous notes. It will he no petty faction that will sound the notes, or touch the keys. There ran he nothing more free or hearty than has been the reception of Mr. Shenk, as a rest dent among 111. He is already one of ourselves —" as lone brought up with us." Be - fore, we ha.l known him, by the bearing rdf the car and no man ever bone a purer reputation. Now, our eyes have seen him, and we know that rumor never exaggerated his unobtrusive merits. As a father, husband, friend, citizen, there is none more devoted, affectionate and kind. His attach ment to all that is valuable for the security of the peo ple's rights. has never been doubted. He has newer sought after, or enjoyed, the high and lucrative plates of honor and power; but he has filled some of the most useful, and these, in such a manner as to prove his great knowledge of the business of the state, his nc quaintance with all the details of executive and legisla tive duties, his competence for any business which the people may assign to Lim, and 1-is bold and unflinching devotion to demoerntic principles.

In conversation with a political and personal friend, but a few days before his demise, he remarked, that great injustice was done to Van Bu ren in 1810—that the speech about the extravagance of his administration, attributed to him was not true —that he never d.•literod such—that it was not his— that it was got np by the Whig Central Committee at the city of Washington and his name put to it as its author, that he immediately informed the committee of thu great injustice they had done him and Vun Buren, and requested thorn to correct the error, but that they hesitat..ll to do so, alleging if they did, it would injure the Whig cause. Upon being interro gated particularly as to the truth or falsehood of the speech, he readily atlmLted that it was full of gross errors and falsehoods, from the beginning to the end. but that he could nut help it.

YACHTING vs. THE PEOPLE The Queen and Prince Albert are so fond of sea ex cursions, that, at all events, Parliament must be dissol ved in proper season to give the royal pair full oppor tunity for their enjoyment.
