Notwithstanding the re port a of the advance

Gen. Patterson has been left in command of

We refer our readera to an article in another
column, from the Lycoming Gazette, in favor of
Allison White, Eiq., tbe democratic candidate for
Congreaa in tbia district. , The editor of the Cu
rette apeaka highly uf Mr. White'e character and
abilitiea. Mr. White paid this place a viait on
Tueaday last, and waa well received by his de
mocratic frienda. On tbe great subject of the
tariff, Mr. White, in bia letter and in conversa
tion, appears to give general aatisfaction. Liv
ing witbin four milee of Farrandsville, an ex
tenaive coal and Iron district, it was natural he
should be opposed to McKay'a bill, which ia cal
culated to proatrate tbe manufacturing and other
great interests of Pennaylvsnia. Mr. White's
prospects are certainly encouraging. ' It is well
known tbat this district can be redeemed by a
handsome majority, if the democracy are united
and turn out at tbe election. The disunion which
exiated ia Lycoming county baa been adjusted,
and tbe democracy of that county; it ia raid, will
harmoniously unite in the aoppoit of Mr. White.
His friends say that his majority there will reach
rive hundred, and in Clinton two hundred and
fifty, In tbia eoarnty, if there ia a turn out. his
msjerity cannot be less then five hundred. Union
county will not, it is said, give Mr. Tollock over
1,000, and many say not mors than 800. Mr.
Wbite'a election then, it will be aeen, will de
pend wholly upon the activity of tbe democracy
in turning out at the polls. They have now an
opportunity of redeeming thie district, provided
tbey uae propeeffotts ; and if it is not done, the
blame must rest, aa it asauredly will, on them
aelves. '

a place' for them at the expense of th State, all
of which must come out of the porkets of the
people. Look egain sat the Shamokin Dam, which
will cost ten or fifteen thousand dbllara to re
pair. ' They have nearly 100 hands" at work at
112 per day. 1 h y are now paying, or have
been paying eerrri cents for square timber, which
could have been got at four cent in the spring.
And what iaall thie expense for I" Mr.1" Foster
ssys t raiae the water. Now if he waa to raise
the dam as high ss the hill it would not raiae
tbe water, unless it waa tightened X and no man
who looks at it will pretend that it will bold wa

away. At the Kanticoke dam he haa appointed
an engineer at a. good salary,,-when the Super
visor says thst there is no us for one. Through
out the whole stste be is engaged buying up
men, by givirig them an office of some kind, at
the expense of the-state. And now we would
ask the tax payers, when ia this thing to tske
an end, if Mr. Foster should again be elected. It
was to prevent such extravagance that the Legis
lature took the appointment of canal Commission
ers ont of the Governor's hsnds and placed it in tbe
hands of the people, Intending they should elect a
new man every year.' If Mr. Foater ia re-elected,
then Mr. Hartshorne, who ia Mr. Foster'a
shadow, and doea just what he saya, will aUo
claim to be re-elected, and as these two consti
tute the majority of the Poard, tbey may, by the
appointments on the canal, and the use of the
public money, keep themselves' In office for life.

lieve there are but few, and these are kept in ig
norance of these farts, by leadera who are in of

scarcely an editor warmly supporting Mr. Foa

fice or reward for himself or bia frienda. ' But
a great portion of the democracy of the whole
atate is up against Mr. Foater. and it would oot
be surprising if he waa beaten ten or fifteen thou
sand votes. "
07" Tub Taairr ano Casus, Commiasioncb
Several anti-tariff papers, who have too much
candor lo deny Mr. Purfer'a free trade notiona,
say that the election of a Canal Commissioner
ia not in any way connected with the Tariff
queatiun. Now we think that it ia. Indeprn
dently of the fact that the tulle upon our canal
will be greatly leesened, and our tax greatly
increased by the operation of the Britith Tariff
of 1846, what inference will the South draw
from the election of a free trade Canal Commie
sioner! They will ssy at once that Pennsyl
vania is satieficd with the bill of 1846. She
will adhere to the party, although her iron ma
nufactory are destroyed and her coal tlruted
out of nurket by British coal. Such an infe
rence will have a most injurious effect opnn
any t (Tort to modify the Tariff ro aa to protect
the great staples of Pennsylvania. And the
Si in hern free traders will point tn the election
of Wm R, Fotleraa an evidence that the De
mi c racy of thie atate are in favor of these mea
sure. We ranno' are, therefore, how any Tariff
Democrat how any P. nnjlyanian can, with
ary regard lo I er interests, vote lor hiirC '

of Tioga, aa their Candidate. The Whigs bave
made no nomination, and are going i mease in

of fine talents, and highly popular in the district.

will most certainly carry for Mr. White. The

. . .M'lllUm B. raster, Jr. .
It will no doubt be asked why we do not raise
this gentleman's name at the bead of onr ticket,
aa the democratic candidate for Canal Commis
sioner. We csnnot do so. , We are aware Mr.
Foster received tbe nomination by the democra
tic convention of the 4th of March last, but we
are as well aware that that nomination was ef
fected through corruption end Irsud of the most
bold and reckless character by a combined pro
stitution of the executive departments and Canal
Hoard, lo perpetuate themselves in office, Mr.
Foster Vss not satisfied,1 lik bis predecessors,
with the ONE TERM PRINCIPLE, (though a
two thirds rule man himself,) but be must bave a
second teim. 1 For thai purpose the State Ad
ministration and the Canal Board were made po
litical - huckster "shops their patronage ' was
thrown into market the appointments were put
off until stter the nominating convention. A rod
ol terror was held over the beads of the incum
bents, applicants were invited. Piosectiting at
torneys, Deputy surveyors, Harbor masters, In
spectors, Notary publics, Superintendents, Su
pervisms, Collectors, Weigh-masters, arc, were
required to be in attendance at the convention,
as delegstes, or bave their frienda there. Appli
cants were largely courted, and promises held
out to them and their frienda, that if tbey would
support Foster they would get appointments.
The 4th of March came, and with it came such
an array of the interested patties as wss never
before witnessed st Harrisbtirg. The conven
tion assembled, and in the matter of determining
contested sests, the only question ssked, wss, is
he a Foster man ! Foster was of course nomina
ted, but not without the protest of the delegates
from nearly all the democratic counties in the
State. Foster's nomination we regard aa fraud
ulent ; the man are know to be politically dis
honest, and not worthy of tbe confidence of a con
fiding people. He baa sacrificed tbe interests of
the public works, and prostituted th office of
Canal Commissioner, for bis own personal eg
graodixeroent. He baa removed the best of offi
cers, and the best of men for ao other reason un
der the sun than to put men in power to destroy
the democratic ticket, as is the case in thie coun
ty. He pledged himaelf before the nomination
to appoint certain individuals to office, provided
certain delegstes would vote for him in the con
vention. He hss continued in office certain
oual'JStd incompetent officers, in contempt of the
protestation a of tbe atate. He has proscribed a
large portion of tbe democratic party, if not a
majority, for opinions sske. He is a factiouiat
of the most disorganiiing reputation. Hia dem
ocratic principles are in proportion to hia feed.
He ia aree trade man, a supporter of Wilmot
and Piolett, bia fellow county men. in their ef
forta to destroy the interests of Pennsylvania
Knowing ss we do that every charge preferred
against Foster is true, we would bs doing our
selves and the public great injustice were we to
support him. Furthermore, we cannot support
him becaose our democratic subscribers are all
opposed to him, and in-nine-tenths of tbe conn
ties in which democratic meetings have been
held, he has got the cold shoulder, which is a
sufficient evidence of hia unpopularity, and the
correctness of our position. -
If, however, the office of Canal Commissioner
was filled by an man, or if it would be mad
Whig by tbe election of Mr. Power, we believe
our love for Ibe democratic party would induce
ua to awallow the pill, bitter and nauseous as it
is. Happily for the democratic party, this is not
Ihe esse. The Canal Board is filled by Mrre
persons, so that the election of Mr. Power will
not change the political complect ion of the office.
Democrats csn, therefore, vote for Mr. Power
without compromising their democracy, and it ia
their duty lo do so. under the peculiar circum
stances of Foster'a nomination and censurable
conduct.

your eolumns, a misstatement mad in the last
Snnbnry Gaiette," in an article pretending to
give Ihttentimtnti itftht ltmnc nry rf Venntyt
rania." The article in question containa the
following extract s
V While the tariff bill wa pending in Congress,
Daniel Webster was requested by a number of
manufacturers, among whom were the proprietors
of furnaces, rolling mills, collieries, cotton and
woollen mills, to make a proposition lo the frienda
of the new tariff hill, to reduce the tariff of JM2
3 per cent., which they said would still afford
them ample protection. : This proposition might
have been accepted, and the tariff question set
tled." To the first part of the paragraph t take no ex
ception; but deny! without fear of contradiction,
the truth of the concluding sentence, and will
show, from facts which csnnot be controverted,
thst the editor hat made a most palpable attempt
at misrepresentation ; whether intentional, o;
through aheer ignoranc of what he has stated,
th public Will determine.
- It la well known by all aensible persons ind
if th editor of the " Gaiette" does not know, be
should thst no proposition,' however Just and
liberal, could have been made which would have
proved acceptable to those persons who Were de
termined to force the bill thtongh with all its
acknowledged imperfection. Ia not the editor
aware of Ihe fact who, a a public journalist,
ahould be that immediately before the question
on engrossment waa taken, the Hon. Si mo Cam
vkom, as a last resort, and to test th hypocritical
brawling of some invested with tbe garb of au
thority, that Pennsylvania could have had all the
protection she desired but for the obstinacy of
her representatives, offered two amendments
similar to the proposition submitted to Mr.
Webster, and bad them both signally defeated ?
His two amendments Were for reducing tbe rates
of tbe act of IS 12 25 per cent, on articles above
30 per cent., and reducing the duties on coal and
iron 23 per cent, below thoae imposed by tbat
act. No person with a sane mind will assert,
tbat had the amendments offered by Mr Cameron
been proposed by Mr. Webster they would bave j
met with diffeient treatment. .
However much inclined Ihe public may be to
forget the treachery and foul dealing of those in
whom implicit confidence had been placed, tbia
attempt of the " Gazette," at palliation, in utter
ing a falsehood so glaring, will be frowned down
by every person the l- ast conversant with the
proceedings of Congress. Pretended ignorance,
as exhibited by the editor of the " Gazette," cf
a fact which ia now a matter of history, indicates
a degree of cringing and sycophantic subservien
cy only fit for ths demagogue who will resort to
any means for political elevation.
' Notwilh'staoding tbe efforts of tbe dough-fated
editor of tbe Foster faction to smooth over the
injuries inflicted upon Pennsylvania by thenulli
Aers of the south, there is every reason lo believe
tbat the democracy of the Keystone State will
show, at the coming election, its utter abhorrence
for any man whose views upon the tariff question
are in uniaon with thoae of men who have de
clared that tbia State would submit to anything,
bight ob waoNo." A proper independence
demanda it of the democrats to hurl this slander
back by defeating WM. B. FOSTER, the man
who has expressed himself favorable to the mea
sures of our enemies. Tbat Mr. Foster'a elec
tion will be heralded aa a free trade victory, there
ia nothing much more certain. Let every demo
crat, then, who cherishes the doctrines recognised
by Washington, 'Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
Jackson, exert himself to defeat the man who
enterlaina sentiments averse to the best interests
of the State. IxDarsaDBRT.

opinion oe that important que at ion.
In conetitinj to become the eendidite for
th Legislator, aid nominated by the demo
cratic party, I of course endorse ihe sentiment
or those who have so con fi. led in me. Believ
ing as I do that tbe great Interests of Tennfyl
vania hsve been rather nverhmked in equalizing
the act of '40, and that it i Ihe duty ol every
Pennsylvsnian, lo use as II fair and honorable
mean for the repeal or, modification of such
items, materially e0 ct the interests of the
State. ! ': v
, The doctrine of incidental protection has been
recognised by the Democratic party, and no
change in the politic of our county ha yet
taken place to jtrntify a departure from thia
lime honored and wholoemne policy. - It is also
a fact well know' loth people of Northumber
land county, lhat I have ever been the advo
cate o1" the protective policy,' ' A a manufac
turer it is duty I owe myself, well the
atste I reside in, to advsnce her interest with
my own. I am therefore in favor of adequate
protection to home industry and domestic manufacturer-
i a fixed and atabte policy ia a blessing
attending a pmperou community. '

I have received yonr letter convey

vention of Ihe county of Noithumberland, nomi
nating me for the office of Governor. '
I feel greatly flattered with thia compliment,
coming from the county which presented the
great and good Snyder to tbe Demorrary of Penn
sylvania, and conveyed lo me, as it is, by gen
tlemen who have known me from my earliest
boyhood. Whether in private or in public life,
every good man must be gratified with evidences
ef friendship from those who know bim best
and nothing could b more grateful lo my feel
ings than this compliment from that steady, nr.
wavering democratic county.
The Chief Magistracy ef ibis great Common
wealth Is a post which the ablest and proudest
citizen might be glad le occupy. It should be
lb highest honor of th faithful public officer, to
be eartied With bim into retirement, as the re
Ward of his services. I feel that I bsvs no claim
to it ; and having recently been elevated Jo a high
p!ae, mainly to aid la th protection ef tbe in
tsrssts of my nativ atat, I could not, in accord
ance with my sense of propriety, desert that post
while those interests at In danger, for any per
aonal distinction high or honorable a it might
be. -., r ... - ... v., f ' , - ,. ,....
