CANDIDATE TOR GOVERNOR.—The lamented of Mr . 1 .111/HLENSERG, has tested, in an entire- . r . y new aspect, the integrity and union of die Demo tempo' party. Never, before, have the Democracy if ithiaState (or indeed of any other. that we can now ,tatriember of in the Union,) suffered the loss of their ,easlipg candidate while engaged in an animated con (test- How the shock would he borne, and how the un 2xpected loss would be trpaired was matter for much nalous specillation among our onesnieii. They fondly literal that the death-knell of out respected candidate, rwould be the signed for strife and contention; that new }aspirants would spring into the arena, and that the Dearcrats would have to pause in their progress to Ptsiersalr' victory, to settle the hot disputes of the various kaotaPetitors wh-i would seek the nomination. Deter [mined to assist in producing a result so favorable -to themselves, the whip went so far as to name many Onsinent Democrats of the party us likely be sue ieessful aspirants for the nomination. But never wete ',these selfish and mercenary politicians mere sadly and .;signally disappointed—never did the Democracy of the •!,..01d.Ziystone bear itself more nobly—never did they ;iilestrate more forcibly, that in their political move- Orients, they seek the suret.ss of principle above every ktittier eunNideration. \kts,..."

And properly regarding this well Ascertained ifact, t h e friends of Mr M., generously forgetting all the acrimony cf the canvass, and only remembering that 'pAr Shank, in the most graceful mintier, had yielded this support to his successful rival, were the first to pro- Claim Mr Shuak, as best entitled to take the place of tbtrir lamented first choice. Tbis, of course, put an end to all speculation on the aohject.

Er. • ery. Dem 'erotic paper that we have received, has hoist his l iSame, and all agree that the Convention which will meet on the 2nd of September, will merely have to record and testify the already expressed will ( f the people. The Whig papers cannot conceal their disappoint ment and chagrin at this happy state entrain, and al `, • , they are attacking Mr &mak. The Hams- Telegraph says he is a veteran o ffi ce-bolder. It . . he has held several responsible posts—but un ilike many who have held office, be discharged his du b, .honestly, and solely for the benefit of the people.— Of his official life, Mr Shunk may well be proud. His enemies cannot comment on it to his injury. - --- LOUISIANA CoNVSNTION.—Thia body, elected to e:inesul-dies Constitution of Louisiana, met at Jackson, 314 a., on the .51h of August. On the 6th, the Conven teen proceeded to elect officers. After a protracted - wildest, Gen Joseph Walker, dem. of the Parish of Re ' Tides, was chosen Pi csident; Horatio Davis was elect ad Secretary, and James gorpenter, Doorkeeper. Geb Walker was opposed by J. R. Grymes, also a rat; but, as the Picayune says, rather conserve - live in his views. The wli'gs supported Mr Grymes, olcounie--the vote stood. Walker 38 votes; Grymes, 94 votes: •• 'The election of %Walker,' concludes the Picayune, '•• 'a:considered a triumph by the sure-enough or radical asotioa of tha Demooraey.' • W. are pleased to notice that the more liberal por• lion of the Convention have triumphed.

"Now, Ve ith due reference to the Farmer of . Ashland, who so generously declares that "agticuleure needs no protection," we Flo not think he is at all misappre hended by thu people of Pennsylvania on the Tariff question. They have the injunction of Mr CLAY tohis friends,. "Do not raise the question of protection." Thai: know be has declared himself in favor of "molt a scheme of duties as will preserve all the essential prin ciples of the Compromise act." They know, too, that - he has declared that there is an "obligation of honor" to adhere to the Compromise act—and they know, that he has declared that his efforts for many years have been ' , devoted to the refection of duties." How, then, could the people of Pennsylvania mis apprehend Mr Clay with these declarations before them ? How they could do otherwise than set him down as a fast friend of the Compromise act'? But brsideithese decided expres.sions of his own, we have been told by one who ot.-cupies a prominent position amongst his heads—even the editor of the Gazette—that he "THROTTLED THE TACIFF " They have the evidence of Hon 'HARNAIt Deus r, a man who was spoken of as a Candidate for Vice the Presidency. en the same ticket with Clay, that he had "ABANDONED PROTECTIoN." They have read, from the Savannah Republican, a paper devoted to Clay, a denial that he is in favor of a Protective Tariff. They have read from the Richmend Whig, the pos itive assertion that he is "mere of a free trade man than Mr Van Buren." How much of a free trade man Mr V. B. is, let the whigs themselves answer. With all thrie lights before them, how is it possible that the people of Pennsyliania could misunderstand Mr Clay on the subject of the Tariff. Depteo upon it, Mr Clay, you underrate dui intelligence of dm pee_ pie of Pennsylvania, and do them 'great injustice, if you think 'they do not perfectly understand you on this Tariff question. As wss isetc•ren.—When the truth-loving editor of the Gazette passed the Democratic Pule Raising in Rubinson township, on Friday I last, he was recognized by some one, and it wad at once concluded that he would have a false statement of the numberpresent.

TOR TH POST. MR. CLAY, MR. DENNY AND THE COMPRO- A friend has just handed me a copy of the t.'itts . burgh Gazette of the 6th instant, which had some how escaped my notice, containing an article from the York Pa.) Advocate, laboring to neutralize the effect of Mr Denny's strung condemnation of Mr Clay's con duct in proposing This Compromise Bill. The article in the Yoth paper contains a letter from Mr Denny himself, written on the 28th of lust December. In this letter k Denny says, "the declarations vt bleb he (Mr Clay) subsequently ninde in debate, placed his Hcuuduct in lie clearest sunshine of the purest patri otism." If such are Mr Denny's real opinions, he has done Mr Clay great injustice by withholding this correction so long. Su far as I can see in the article, no reason is assigned for writing the letter of the 28th of December last, and I will not assert that it was written to prepare the way for his nomination as Vice President. If such was the purpose of the letter, it proved a most larnenuable failure. But 1 do not in tend to discuss his motives—my object is to examine his statement of facts. The editor of tho York paper publishes only por tions of Mr Denny's late letter, suppressing other par*, no doubt for masons deemed good by Clay men. The following, however, is the portion of the letter which I wish to notice; "My letter is dated the 14th: of February, 1833, before Mr Clay had explained kis views respecting the operations of kis bill." • • • • Here, then, Mr Denny asserts that his letter cmt demning the Compromise bill was written on the 14a of .Februory, 1833, before Mr Clay had explained his views respecting the bill. NJW what were the facts and dates. Mr Denny, in a previous portion of his lam letter correctly states that Mr Clay introduced his bill on the 1211 i of February. Upon turning to Niles' Register, a work which, you know, is received as evi dence in Court, I find the following items of informa tion: "February 1 lat.—Mr Clay gave notice that he would, on to-morrow, (12th.) ask leave to introduce a bill t„ morit6 , the various ants imposing duties on im ports." Again, I find the following: "Febratary 130 t.—Mr Clay presented the bill of whiCh he gave notice yesterday. For bill and debate see page 411." Upon turning to page 911, I find as follows: "Debate is Senate, Feb. 12.—Mr Clay rose and addressed the Senate to the following effect." Here follows the speech, occupying in small type nearly eight columns of the Register, explaining his motives in offering the bill, and stating his views as to its operation. A long and warm debate theft ensued, in which Mr Calhoun, Mr. Forsythe, Poindexter and other unti-Tariff members supported the bill, and Messrs Webster and Dickenson opposed it. Two days after Mr. Denny wrote the letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Times. On the 25th of Feb ruary, thirteen days after Mr Clay bad explained, Mr Denny madea long speech against the bill.. Mr Don ny does not tell us when be discovered that Mr Clay was so very patriotic in offering the Compromise bill, nor does he explain why be repeated his condemna tion of that bill in a meeting in this city, only two years ago; nor does ho tell us why he delayed making his explanation until a few days before the assembling of a Convention to nominate some person es Vico President on the Clay ticket. 1 do not wish to charge . ,Mr Denny with a wilful misstatement, but he has certainly placed himself in a position not to be envied, and I fear that in his eager aspirations fur a nomination, he has overlouke 1 the real history of the proceedings 'on the Compromise bill. I trust be will do himself the justice to explain with distinctness and promptitude. T. H. MR CLAY AND THE TARIFF MESSRS. EDITORS.—It is not denied, nor can it be denied by any one, Deinocrat or Whig, that Mr. Clay is the author of the Compromise Act of 1833, and that he not only proposed it, but supported it by his speeches and votes, and carried it by his influence.-- It'is not denied, and cannot be denied, that the object of the Act was hostility to protection, and that as long as it was continued such was its effect. It gradually reduced the duties from an average of about forty per cent. to twollty per cent ad valorem. For instance, the previous duties on the following articles were: On Iron in bars or bolts not manufactured in whole or in part by rolling, 90 cts per 112 lbs ; on bar and bolt iron made by rolling, 30 dollars per ton; on iron in pigs 50 cts per 112 lbs ; on iron and steel wire, from 5 to 12 cts per lb, on nail iron, 4 cts per lb; on nails, 5 cts per lb. On woolen yarn, 50 per cent ad valorem; on all manufactureF of cotton, 25 per cent ad valorem. This protective tariff Mr. Clay opposed and caused to be repealed by his famous Compromise Act. In proposing this Act, be and his political friends gave distinct and positive pledges that it ought to be, 44 so far u it depended opals them, it should be, the pew , mutant and sattledpohcy of the cotast7.

Again he says, in his letter to Mr. Bronson, above referred to: "After my return to Congress, in 1832, my efforts were directed to the reduction and modification of the rates of dray contained lathe Act of 1828. The Act of 1832 greatly seduced and modified them; and the Act of 1833, osannionly called the Compromise Act, still further *educed and modified them. " And, finally, he says: "Carry out, then, the-spirit of the Compromise Act. Look to REVENUE. ALONE for the support of gov ernment. Do not raise the question of PROTECT ION. which I hoped hulloes put to test. THERE IS NO NECESSITY OF PROTECTION. FOR PROTECTION." Now is there a candid man in the country who will deny that Mr Cloy is utterly and wholly opposed to the principle of protection, and that he has gone as far as Mr Calhoun, Mr M'Drdfie or any other southern man in opposition to it? nay, must not all honest politicians confess that Mr Clay. is reapoosible for the first fatal attack upon plow:atm; that he proposed and carried into effect a system,es the permanent policy of the country, which would be the death ofprotection. And yet.before his last address in opposition to protection, could well circulate over the Union, and on the eve of an election, ho writes a letter to a friend in n tariff; ate, Pennsylvania, no doubt trembling lest he should lose that state, that bola opposed to the repeal of the Act of 1812! We have him now convicted by his gran confession of the moat shameful and dishonorable du. plicity, which none but the basest political and unprin cipled hack would practice, and which shows his utter' unfitness fur any high political trust. And yet this is the man the whips propose for President of the United States. Is he to be believed? Lille to be trusted ? C D POR THE POST. MESS RS.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVFRNOR We copy, with pleasure,* following extract of a letter written by the Hon James Buchanan, to Jno M Read, Eil, of this city, directly after the news of Mr Muhlenberg's death reached M'Contiellsburg, where Mr Buchanan was detained on his way from Bedford. It is a coincidence, no less remarkable than gratifying, that the same feeling which actuated Mr Buchanan in taking the coot se pointed out in the extract below, ha. become, spontaneously, the feeling among the Demo. cratie party, in every portion of the State- yet heard from :—Pennsylvanian. McCort trattanuno, Pt, August 13, 1844 My Diar Sir:—The mail stage last night brought us the m••lanckoly news of the death of Mr M uhlenlierg.

Mr Muldenberg did notleave behind him within its limits, a purer, wiser, or better man.— Bound to ltim by the closest ties of personal and peliti cal friendship, my loss is irreparable. It is thaw as men advance in life, that one by one they see their friends &Hinz around them, until a; last they are left in the midst of a new generation which can never cor dially sympathize with them. It is then that they feel themselves to be the solitary relics of a departed age ; and realize the solemn truth that they are but grim. and sojourners on the earth as all their fathers were." I have lost so many old and valued friends within a few years, that I kel that I am fast advancing to this period of life. But whilst we mourn the dead, we ought not in ne glect our duty to the living. Mr Muldenherg's death leaves us in a critical position. What is to be done? I answer that the Democratic patters, ought, without a moment'. delay, to raise the flag of Fiaririe Shunk. Next to our lamented friend, he was undoubt edly the choice of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. rhe proceedings of the 4th March Convention abun dantly establish this fact. In pursuing this course then, they will be acting in obediemb to the public will.— We must not hesitate in the face of the enemy, but move into line in support of Shunk without faltering. - DEATH OF WM L STONE Yesterdny morning the death of this gentlemen, which took place at Saratoga Springs the day previous, wa. announced in this City. Col Stone leaves a wife and one chid, and dies sincerely lamented by a very ninnerou. circle of ardent admirer. and friends. The following brief sketch of his publin life we copy from the Ezprees: "11e was born in Oswego county, in this State, and served his apprenticeship in the office of the Farmers' Journal, at Coopeistowo. During the war, and before he became of age, he contributed largely to the edito tial columns of that and other political papers. His habit of writing was begun early in life, and it is to this habit that we are indebted for his constant and useful labors. Soon after.orchtring the war, Cul Stone removed to Hudson, where he conducted with great efficiency a paper in that city. Immediately after the war, Theodcre Dwight, the venerable editor of the Connecticut Mirror, one of the best pipers in New England. removed to Albany and commenced the pub lication of the Albany Daily Advertiser. Col Stone became his successor in conducting the Mirror, at Hartford, and contiuued the high reputation of that paper for two or three years. In 1817, Mr Dwight relimpisheil the Albany Daily Advertiser and remov ed to this city, and with one of the oditoes of this pa. per, commenced the publication of the New York Daily Advertiser. Col Sumo wan again Mr Dwight's successor in the Albany Daily Advertiser, a paper which he continued to edit with great ability, during a very fierce and violent political contest, and at the pe riod when such mighty men as De Witt Clinton, A m . brose Spencer, Elisha Williams, Judge W. W. Van Ness, D D Tompkins, and abaft of smiler minds,guid ed the political destinies of this State. It is no small compliment to Mr Stone's talents and acquirements, that amid this galaxy of tricot, he was relied on with others to sustain his political friends. Col S. contin ued at Albany until about the rar 1820 or 1 822• when he, with its present proprietor, Francis Hall, pa t el la . sed the Commercial Advertiser and Spectator of the late Zechariah Lewis, and since that time he has been the able and efficient editor of that paper. For more than twentyyears he has filled the editorial chair of a Journal that was established by that extraordinary lexicographer, Noel) Webster, and it is no slightcredit to his talents. that this Journal which has always stood high, has, under his labors, increased in Circulation and in repute." Deatk of Gen W S Murplty.—We learn by the arrival of the U S schooner, Flirt, Lieut Commtusling J A Davis, that Gen W S Murphy, late Charge d'Affaires to Texas, died at Galveston, Texas, on she 13th ult. of yellow fever.

It is in consequence of the peculiar arrangement of the appointment billpassed In 184 u, when the whigs had nearly the whole Legis lature, by which the _floating members are given to the whig countiesat the session in which U.

' We have the popular votes, in 41 oldie 87 counties Taking the highest votoliellepraseutatives on each side, in the 41 counties, comprising as they do, the strongest whi.g counties in the State, and we fin that the democratic strength is actually .greater than it was lAA year in the sane counties by nearly 100 votes. The whigs have also an increase, bet not so large a one as the democrats. The remaining counties will show still better for the democracy, and confirm the fact that we have flown Targer popular majority than we had last yenr, when - we elected otir Governor, Lieut.

With that name we can conquer; if we seek for new generals the hazard may be doubtful. Our oppooento will spare no efforts by which to take advantage of our misfortune, and the surest and safest proceeding will be to unites as once upon him who was the second choice of the Conven tion, and whose public acts are as household words with the people. Believing that to be the most rational course for the Democracy of Pennsylvania to pursue in this emergen cy, we frankly declare fur Fasects R.

If this should be the spirit in other portions of the Commonwealth—and there is no reason for doubting it—the choice by con vention will . be but tbo confirmation of a spontaneous nomination. Seneca Lake.—A borrespontleat of the N Y Jour nal of Commerce, writing from Geneva, N Y., tells some marvellous tales respecting the famed Seneca Lake. He says first, that this lake has a regular tide, in other words, That it rises seven years - arid then falls seven years. Also that frequent attempts to as certain its depth have proved unsuccessful. In 1840, - several gentlemen went out for this purpose, and found to their astonishment, upon letting down a bottle filled with fresh water, corked and sealed. on examination, after it was drawn up, that the water was salt, al though the cork was not moved nor the seal hr,ken. He was subsequently shown a piece of salt that had formed in one of the boilers of a steam mill, where they use the Lake water. And lastly, that this Lake never freezes excepting in extreme cold weather, so that the steamboats rim all winter. DIE.D—On Tuesday evening, 20th ins', John An derson.
