A DuetSettledby Cask—A Frenchman was to fight a duel with an American ; the conditions were that bnt one shot should be exchanged, and that the pre cedence should go by lot. The French man got the first chance, but Sailed to hit his adversary. As the Yankee lift ed his weapon, the other called out: "hold, I will buy your shot ?" All were astonished at this, but his oppo nent answered, " what will -4:;iu give?" " i it ie hundred pounds!"

"TRUTH DI MIOIITY, AND WILL PREVAIL." r , 4 c) 4 rW= OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATFI COMMITTEE To the Citizens of Pennsylranin :—lt has been usual for the State Committee representing the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, to address the people of the State pending important elections. In conformity with this usage, which may be regarded as settled and sal utary, we submit the following address : The Democratic State Convention, upon the second day of March tact, and at its re-assembling in June, made nom inations for the offices of Governor, ('a nal Commissioner and Judges of the Su preme Court. For Governor, Gen. Packer, of lA% coming, was named, after a spirited contest, and his nomination a•as then unanimously and rightfully confirmed. He has been long well known through out the State ; has filled a number of responsible and important p sit ions in the State government, and has estab lished a public character which strong ly recommends him to public eouti tience. We conceive it to be a material qualification for this high office, that the incundient shall be well acquainted with the practical workings of the gov ernment—with the course aril charac ter• of le! , islation—the details of busi ness in the several executive depart ments—and with the public men of the Comtnnncc•ealth, who have tilled, or may fill, the various positions created by the Constitution and laws. The contrast, in this respect, between our candidate and the c•:tnalid:tte♦ of the op position, is ton strongly marked to es cape general notice. tune it is hut neces sary to allu d e to it to show the vantage ground held by our party in the pres ent canvass. It may Ix• asserted that the Convention have named the right man for the right place," and that their ninnination deserves popular endor,e ment if regard is had to qualifications and experience. It is agreeable to add, that our candi date has it solid and reputable diameter in private life,.and that his estimable I qualities have endeared him to a large circle of friends who can enter upon his support with feelings of enthusiasm 84 well as with convictions of duty. We do not desire to draw strongly the con trast which it is possible to draw, be tea•een our candidate and his leading op• poneet. Judge Wilmot has had a career as a public man cc•hieh has given him a notoriety. without inspiring con fidence. Imperfectly acquainted with the practical action of the State govern ment ; witlang experience either is the legislative or executive departments; with but u limited knowledge of public men and State affairs beyond his imme diate locality,—he is presented upon a comparatively remote national issue, and as a candidate of a bitter sectional party which received a merited defeat at the recent Presidential election. It is not believed that his career in Con gress exhibited any high capacity to promote the interests of the people of •Pennsylvania. and it is Certain that his recent coarse in the office be now holds, has been calculated to lower the judicial character by connecting it,with extreme and violent partisan disputes. Nimrod Strickland, ot' Chester coun ty, was named by the Convention for Canal Commissioner. lie needs no re commendation at our hands, for his in tegrity, firmness and capacity are not disputed and are widely recognized.— It will be a pleasure for those who be long to our party and for all who desire to consult fitness and merit in bestow ing their suffrages, to give him their cor dial support. By reason of the declination of Chief Justice Lewis, the re-nomination ten dered him by the Convention, and the calling of Judge Black to the post of Attorney . General in the National Ad ministration, the Convention upon its re-assembling in June, found the duty devolved upon it of nominating twe candidates for the Supreme Bench. Wm: - Strong, of Berke county, a distin guished member of the bar, and former ly a Member of' Congress, and James Thompson, oflirie, also a former Mem ber of Congress, once a President Judge of the Common Pleas, an ex-member of the Legislature, and a profound and successfhl lawyer, were selected by the Convention. "Their locutions aresuita ble, giving both to the East and West a representation upon the ticket, and their learning and integrity well quali fy them to discharge the arduous and re sponsible duties of the highest judicial position under the Constitution. Such is the ticket formed by the dell egates representing the Democratic par ty, and support of it. is confidently ask ed in view of the character of the nomi nations. But confidence and support is also invited upon the general ground of principle upon which our party stands. —Ours is no new, untried, vindicative, sectional, or suspicious organization. It has been tried; it is bold and open in conduct ; it is magnanimous, patriotic and national. Founded more than half a century ago by the author of the Dee laration of Independence, it has had a distinguisned history, has ordinarily given direction to the administration of public affairs, and planting itself early, and throughout its whole career, upon 3 strict construction of the Constitution, and a sparing use of the powers of Gov ernment, has preserved our American system from degeneracy and failure. The usefulness of organized parties is sometimes denied and oftener doubt ed. But in view of historical facts it cannot well be questioned that they are incident to free governments, and aria° of necessity ander their operation. An inquiry; however, into the nature of political parties and the canoes which produce them, can scarcely be expected to constitute the subject of a fugitive address. It will he sufficient for pres ent purposes to assert the necessity of oar party to check the evil and danger ous influences to which our political system is liable, and against which it is impossihla that written constitutions can sufficiently guard. Doubtless our constitutions exhibit the wisdom of those who framed them, and the amendments to which they have been . subjected have rendered them more complete and perfect: than they were at first. But a constitution can only be an outline for the action
