WHAT HO THAT IlIc•st —Tile Native Association
of the Fifth Ward passed the following resolution on
Saturday evening last:
Resolved, That we will treat with scorn and con
tempt any effort that may be made to throw a fire-brand
into the Association, by proposing to unite with any
political party; we, at the same time, cordially invite
every Americas who desires to see his country pros
per, to unite withus; and to all such we' wiU extend
the hand of fellov7ship.
Is this inteaded as a bar to those who were born in
foreign countries, and wish to become members of the
"Native" party ? They invite "every American" to
join them. This is surely a very unceremonious cut at
the foreign "Natives." The Fifth Ward Association
had better be cat eful. They ought to remember that
oforeign influence" was strong enough in the General
Association to procure the repeal of the article which
excluded foreigners from holding office.
ELECTORAL COLLEGE OF PaNnsyLvsnts..—This
body met at Harrisburgh on Wednesdny, the 4th inst.
It was organised by the election of Witsort M'Catro-
Ls.sis. Esq. as cbairman,and of Jests I M'astt Es, Esq.
as secretary.
Atter the necessary preliminary business had been
transacted. the College proceeded to ballot; when the
votes were counted, it appeared that the •26 votes of
Pennsylvania were cast fur James IC Polk for Presi
dent and George M Dallas for Vice Prrsdent.
On motion. Geoge F Lehman, Esq of Philadelphia.
was appointed, in pursuance of law, to deliver a peek
age containing a certificate of the votes, to the Presi
dent of the Senate.
On motion, Conrad Shimer, Esq. was selected to
carry a similar package to the Judge of the U 8 Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The thanks of the College were voted to the offate:s,
by unanimous vote.
Mr M'Candless then addressed the College in sub
stance as follows. His remarks were delivered in his
happiest vein. and were received with the strongest
marks of approbation.
ELECTORS:-I thank von for the complimentary res"
()lotion just passed. I thank you for the honor confer
red in selecting me, with all my parliamentary imper
fections, to preside over your de:iberations; and I
should be wanting in sensibility, were I to omit the
opportunity now presented, of expressing to you my
most profound gratitude.
Some of you, in the vigor of manhood, have come
here to renew the covenant of your political faith, and
when you have discharged the functions delegated to
you by your constituents, will return home with the in
flexible resolution never to depart from the precepts
of the Republican fathers. Others of you have grown
gray in the service of your country, and that country
has sealed its approbation of your conduct and pritr:i
pies, by this last act of public commendation. In the
name and by the authority of the people of Pennsylva•
nia, you deposited your ballots in fiver of tiled and
distinguished Statesmen, Cur the highestoffices known
tu the Constitution.
That their administration of the General Govern
ment will redound to the honor, prosperity. and glory
of the country, we have a guaranty ire their talents, pa
ttioti•m, and eminent public servicev; and that the
agticullure and manufactures of Pennsylvania, in
which she ie so vitally interested, will be protected,
we have tho assurance in the recently expressed opi
nion of the elected klead of the Nation, '•lbat it is the
duty of tt e government, to extend. an far as it may be
practicable to do so, by it/ revenue lawn, and till oth
er means within its power, fair and just peel•rtioe to
all the great interests of the whole Union, embracing
agriculture, esantsfacteres. the mechanic arts. com
merce, and navigation." Reposing with confidence
in this political sentiment, emanating from such a
source, our good old commonwealth, burdened as she
is with pecuniary embenas•ment, will go on her way
rejoizing, for in her valleys and upon bee plains, in her
hills and her mountains she posit-sees the means to
satisfy all her liabilities.
ELECTOns—We have lately passed through one of
those fiery ordeals which test the stability of popular
governments. The contest, characterized bv emote ex
citement, asperity of feeling, has been concluded, with
out riot orbloodsbed, and in peace and tranquility. The
hurricane, which but yesterday. swept over the land;
has been succeeded by the calm of domestic quiet and
retirement. The result is a beautiful illustration of
our political system. balled, as it is, upon the virtue
and intelligence of the people. Elsewhere, revolution
and anarchy, would have been the inevitatable and fa
tal consequence.
I congratulate you, Electors, and the Americanpeo
pie, upon this most happy consummation.
Tendering you. again, my thanks for your urbanity
and kindness to me personally, and for the assistance
you have rendered me in the discharge of my respon
sible duties, I bid you all an affectionate FAREWKLL.
On motion of Gen SIIISIER, the Electoral College
adjourned sine die.
rflPSe vend members of the Toast Commituee, re
gest us to state that the Toasts read at the United
States Hotel celebration, were,not written by the Com
mittee. We are further informed, that some of the
sentiments were stmney condemned by a majority of
the Committee, and that it was against their wishes
that the individual who had them in his possession,
presented them to the Company.
Irir The following communication, it is hardly ne
cessary to say, does not express the opinions of the ed
itors in regard to Mr. M'Csancess. They would
have .praferted that its publication had been postponed
until the return of that gentleman, who is now absent.
Messrs. Editors: You will oblige many Demolrats
of this county by inserting in your papvr the following
article f, our the Beaver Star. Much has been said by
the personal friends of Mr. M'Candless about the pop•
ularity of this candidate, but where, I ask, is the proof
of their assumption? Has Mr. M'Candless ever been
willing to have his popularity tested in his own county,
when the use of bis name, if he be popular, might have
proved serviceable to the party? Has he not invania
bly refused the use dins name as a candidate for any
office in the gift of the people df Allegheny'?
Ought one who has ever been unwilling to risk his
boasted popularity for the sake of the party new to be
rewarded at the expense of a well tried and fearless
Democrat, such as Dr. Sturgeon has proved himself?
A Dusocaar OF Al.t.xwn►xt.
UNITED STATES SENATOR
I have seen in several Democratic papers in the State
a number of distinguished democrats mentioned in con
nection with filling the seat of the Hon DANIEL
STURGEON in the U S'3enate, whose term will ex
pire on the 4th of March next; and whilst I have noth
to say derogatory to any of the gentlemen referred to.
I would ask why is this effort made to furnish a suc
cessor to Dr Sturgeon?
Dining the time which he has represented, in eon
neztiou with his distinguished colleague, Pennsylva
nia in the US Senate, has be not met the entire wishes
and expectations of the Democracy of the State; and
have not his able dignified and inflexible efforts in sup
porter Democratic principlesandPeonsylvania.interests
been fully approved by his constituents? Has-he not
been ever vigilant and faithful in the performance of all
his important duties as a Senator! Every impartial
man acquainted with Mr Sturgeorn as a Senator must
answer these questions affirmatively. Then, why, task
look out for a successor? He is a tried and proved
public servant, and no man ever deserved more to be
continued in office. Mr Buchanan was honored by
a re-election, and-why should not Mr Sturgeon be trea
ted withthe saute mark of public approbation and con
fidence? A DEMOCRAT.
