Toil PRESIDENT HENRY CLAY, OF KENTUCKY. 'Subject to the decision of the TJaltimore. Convention POll GOVERNOR. GEN". JOSEPH MARKLE, ,- OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY. I'OR CAN AT. COMMISSIONER. SI M E ON G lU LF OUT), ' S or LK3ANON COUNTY. TJj3 No paper was issued from this Oflice last week, in consoqnence of our not having re ceived a cupply of paper, which we had sent for to the City. The badness of the roads, &c. prevented its arriral in time. Car C:indidalc. It will be scon 'by the proceedings of the Democratic Harrison Slate Convention, that General JosrrH Markle, of Westmoreland county, has been nominated by our political friends for Governor of Pennsylvania. Al though he was not onr first choice, yet wo con sider the Delegates perfecily justifiable in the course they have taken, in nominating him and i?ball therefore givo him our entire and undivi ded support and we have no doubt, that every friend of reform in this county will do the same. Gen. Markle is a man who rendered his country important sen ices during the late War. "When Gen. Harmon made his celebrated ap peal lo the Volunteers of the West for aid, Cap!. Markle iaised and fitted out a troop of horse, at his own expense, irusling lo the hon or. of government for repayment. Siace the War, he has lived in retirement, upon his farm, lie is a man of strict moral integrity and hon esty, and is possessed of a sound, discrimina ting judgment and cultivated intellect. He is in fine, a man around whom our citizens can rally with confidence, and success. We shall allude to him more particularly next week. Presidential Electors. Alexander E. Brown, Esq. of Easton, has been placed on the ticket as Elector of Presi leiu and Vice President, for this Congression al District. We are glad that this honor has been conferred upon one so eminently deserv ing thereof. Mr. Brown has laboured long and arduously for the triumph of our principle, and no one' has been more successful in his efforts. He will no doubt take the slump, as soon as the campaign fairly opens, and address the' people at every prominent point in his District. The ILoc Foco Candidate. Our opponents have nominated the Rev. Hen jy Henry A. Muhlenberg, of Berks county, as their Candidate for Governor. Mr. Shunk was the next highest man in the Convention. The nomination has given great dissaiisfaciion to a large'portion of his own party, who declare that they will, under no circumstances support Muh lenberg. The Campaign of 1S35 is still fresh jn iheir minds, and the Wolf meti remember thai he was then the cause of the defeat of their man. Patriotic Conduct. Since ihe nomination of Gen. Markle, bis two prominent competitors in the Convention, 'Lave magnanimously come forth and declared that they will give him their cordial support. Goneral Irwin, attended a Whig meeting at Uarriaburg, ihe evening after the nomination ws made, and in the course of his speech said, thai he would sustain the nomination, and use wvery exertion to secure Markle's eleciion. The Whigs of Reading, also, held an enthu siastic meeting, on Thursday evening, after which i hey repaired to the residence of the Hon. John Banks, and gave him three hearty jh eers. The Judge then came forth, thanked Mhem for their kindness, and pledged himself cheerfully to abide by the decision, and suppori the nominee of ihe Convention. The Hon. E. Joy Morris, will accept our thanks for x'aluable public documents. Borough Election. The annuul election for Borough and Town ship nfiicors, in Stroudsburg, took place on Fri day lasl, and although ihe day was cold and disagreeable, thero was considerable interest manifested which brought out u largo number of voters. For Constable, the struggle was ex ceedingly animated, and wo are glad that the person chosen is a good and responsible man, who no doubt will make an excellent officer. The following persons were elected officers for the ensuing year. Constable. John Frankenfield. Jud"C Edward Postens. Inspectors William' RafForty, and William P. Ilallock. ' . Overseers of the poor Robert Brown, and Anthony Heller. Assessor Peter B. Flagler. Supervisors. .-Jamos Hurson, and Georgo Philips. Justice of the Peace Morris D. Robeson. Town Clerk Thomas J. Albright. Auditor Francis J. Smith. i Cabinet Appointments. The President has appointed John Y. Ma son, of Virginia, to be Secretary of tho Navy, in ihe place of the Hon. T. W. Gilmer, killed on board tho Princeton, and the Senate has confirmed the appointment. The Hon. John C. Calhoun, it is said, has accepted the oflice of Socretary of State, to which ho was appointed, on tho deaih of the lamented A. P. Upshur. JTndsc off the Supreme Court. Tho Hon. Reuben Hyde Walworih, has been appointed', by the President to the Judgeship on the Bench of the Supreme Court, made va cant by the death of Judge Thompson. Mr. Walworth, is a native of New York, an excel lent lawyer, and has for some years fulfilled the arduous duties of 'Chancellor of that State, wish distinguished ability. Associate Judge. Wc notice by the Harrisbnrgh papers, that on Thursday last, Governor Porler sent to the Senate the name of John Mervine, as an As sociate Judge of Monroe county. The nomin ation is to lay over five days before bein" act ed on. Texas and the United States. The latest news from Washington is, that a Treaty for the annexation of Texas to the U. Stales, has been concluded between the Sec retary of State and tho Texian Minister, and will be sent by tho President to the Senate, in a few days, for its ratification. There are va rious speculations afloat as to its probable late, but nothing positive is known. Tho better opinion, however, appears to bo that the Trea ty will not be ratified by the Senate. Whig Triumph in Philadelphia. The Whig's of Philadelphia, achieved a most splendid victory oyer the different factions of their opponents, at the Charter election, on Fri day last. They have carried every Ward in the City, except Upper Delaware, by an aggre gate majority of over two thousand votes. Next fall the majority for Clay and Markle will be at least double that. TIte State E.eisSairurc. Our law makers at Harrisbnrgh, like lhose at Washington, appear to be unable to do any work. Neither will the)' agree to adjourn, and thus put an end to the people's expense?. A proposition was made on Saturday last to ad journ on the 4th of April, but after some debate, it was laid on the table till the 2d of April. So there will be no adjournment at that time General KJarSUe. The nomination of this Old Veteran, for the oflice of Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania, is hailed in every direction uith an enthusiasm which cannot fail to be the harbinger of victo ry. The friends of Gen. Harrison, are delight- ed to have for their candidate a man, who has served his country as faithfully as Joseph Mar-' kle has, and who enjoyed the confidenccand esieem of their lamented chief, in such an em inent degree. Gen. Markle, together with his own popularity, and ihe dissatisfaction which prevails in the loco foco ranks, in consequence i of the nomination of the Rev. Mr. Muhlenberg,' m. I , - - receive a larger maiorily of the freemen of ' 1 3 Pennsylvania, than has been cast for any Gov crdor for many years. The two Genera!. The following good story was related at a meeting in Hariislmrg. After the two Com en- lions had made their nominations, a Whig was accosted by a Loco with, " well, we have now two Generals in the field : General Muhlenberg and Gen. Markle, the one was commissioned to fifjlit the Devil, the other I lie Indians." "True" replied tin? Whi, "and iIik difference between thein i. that General Markle whip! the Indians; but ihe Devil licked General Muhlenberg.'' 2eiiocratic Wniir Slate Conveiiliojs.

'Poland, Jamos Irvin, and James Cooper. After the balloting commoncod some of the candidates wore withdrawn. March 5. On ihe22d ballot, Gen. JOSEPH MARKLE, of Westmoreland, received a majority of the votes, and was declared to be duly nominated. The following resolution was then offered by Mr Conrad, and unanimously adopted. Resolved, That this Convention most cor dially and unanimously nominate Gen. JO SEPH MARKLE- for Governor of this Com monwealth, and recommend him to all the Peo ple of Pennsylvania as a gentleman of sound Democratic Whig principles, a firm friend of American Industry, and in every respect emi nently qualified to promote the Interests of our State. Mr. REED, from the commutes appointed on the subject, reported the following able and spirited resolutions, which were read, and were greeted with unbounded and heart-cheering ap plause : This Convontion, representing the Party which in 1840 yielded the minor differences to a patriotic determination to change and reform tho administration of the General Government, and triumphed in the eleciion of Harrison, deems it a duty on the cc of a still greater contest, to announce publicly and distinctly, tho principles which havo guided their delibera tions, and for which, before tho people of Penn sylvania, they and their candidates are pledged. They have therefore unanimously Resolved, 1. That the Government of tho United States in accordance with tho designw of the framers of the Constitution should bo ad ministered in a spirit of wise and generous be neficence, to be strictly confined within the limits which are prescribed lo its action, and yet made in its relation to the States and to the People, where no express limits are preacnued, to effect the greatest good to the greatest num ber, and to make this not only an united but aj prosperous Nation. 2. That strong in this faith a faith author ized and sustained by the authority of those who, having framed it, best knew what tho Con stitution meant this Convention and the party it represents, utterly rejects that theory of the Government which denies all power to encour age and sustain the groat interests of the peo ple, Agriculture, Commcrco and Manufactures, for ihe protection of which, more than any other object, the Constitution was framed and the Union established. 3. That we reject that policy of Govern ment, which assuming the power lo exist, to givo to every branch of industry its due protec tion, neglects or refuses lo exercise it, and ex hibits the incongruous and humiliating specta cle of a Government failing to discharge func lions which it is admitted in spirit and in let ter to possess. 4. 'I hat the present Tariff of duties enacted by a Whig Congress, and proudly claimed as a monument of Whig statesmanship, embodying the principle of protection to Domestic Indus try, so far as it affects the interests Ol Pennsyl vania, ought lo be sustained. It has stimulated industry, given new and active occupation to thousands, opened home markets to agriculture, and developed vast mineral resources, on which our Pennsylvania prosperity so much depends, and appeals to ihe honest pride of Pennsylva nia for its support. 5. That when Martin Van Huron wrolo to the Editors of the Richmond Inquirer the mem orable words, " have at no time nor any where hesitated to express my decided disapprobation of the Tariff of 1S32, AS WELL IN RESPECT TO THE PRINCIPLE UPON WHICH IT IS FOUNDED AS TO ITS DETAILS," he forfeited all claim lo the favors of tho people of Pennsylvania, who approving alike of the prin ciples and details of ihe Tariff, now know thai he is opposed lo their best interests and long cherished and unalterable opinions. 6. 'Thai in ihe judgment of this Convention, there are other functions of Government under lilt' Vy'l(H'U ('Ml IWI MIU .V I VIJ1' III V f 1 1 I l 1 1 ll ; - : r.. ., ... , exigencies of the times especially called and the Consti'ti'ion for the exercise of which the among ihem, not the least, the, restoration of ihe currency, loo long disturbed , and unsettled, the continuance of the Cuitrberland Road ami other i Constitutional and well authorized modes of In- Vernal Improvement, the preservation of our harbors, both on the sea board anil the lake?, and the navigation of our great rivers, and such a .distribution of the public domain nmnngi.t ihe Stales as will relieve ihe necessities under which they are now htifferiii". 7.

States. 8. That in the approaching contest the Whigs of Pennsylvania aie willing lu meet the issue tendered by our adversaries, and revise tho judgment which four years ago ihe Nation pro nounced. They are willing to record hoir vote.-, again in the sam way, for the same good cause, and against the same party under tho .1 I,.., . .: .. .1. It I r ...... r llt'ltl same leader, and to prove thai an honest "first impression" is ihe :tm as .t "sober sec ond thought," and that in 1344 limy arc content to fight and conquer over trie grave and for the principles of Harrison. . 1). Thai it is the wish of this Convention that I tho" candidate for tho Vice Presidency bo taken from Pennsylvania, and whilst wo pludgu our selves, and those we represent, to a cheerful acquiescence in the decision of tho National Convention, wo earnestly pres the claims of our Commonwealth, too long neglected, to a share of the high honors it will bestow. 10. That the coming eleciion for Govornnr of the Commonwealth, is one which ought to command universal interest amongst all who havo at heart ihe true interests of ihe State, and the restoration of her character and credit. It will be a conlest between men selected for rea sons and under circumstances widely different. Our candidate named by the free choice of ihe rcprescniav.es of tho people; theirs ihe fruit of combinations the most palpable. Ours pledged .to principles of public action,' having for their aim tho good of the people ; iheirs committed lo that system which has loo long disgraced us, of rewarding political services by public trusts. Theirs the" reluctant supporter of onu whom Pennsylvania never cordially honored ; ours the willing friend and associate. of Pennsylvania's truest friend the friend of Henry Clay. 11. That the people have a right to expect from their Executive a total and entire change of public conduct, from that under which for years we have suffered, a rigid and systematic economy in every branch of the public service, a retrenchment of expenditure, a strict account ability of public officers, no increase of ihe State debt by Executive evasion, no prostitu tion of tho pardoning power and no indirect ex ercise of the Veto to defeat the popular or the Legislative will. These are the expectations of the people, whicl will not, and must .not be disappointed. 12. That in Joseph Markle of Westmore land county wo find one to whom the concur ring testimony of his friends and neighbours (the best testimonials a man can have") points I as a man of capacity, experience and integrity, one whose services, written on the pages of; our domestic history, endear him to all who re collect or hav.o heard of the perils of former days, and one coming fresh from the ranks of t t nnrraL-dwl mill iiiMirnI nonnla Ttll lid rf l Hvil ' Mil Ui) HbO-UU IUIU III UlbU www ll J Mill wv nivw m!ii to ,, xL vn Ltrninn wViieh the people have formed, expectations of retrench ment, reform, and restoration of the public credit. He is nominated from a high sense not only of his merit but of his hojd on the affections of the people, and he will be sustained by the unani mous and cordial support of this Convention and ihe vast united constituency it represents. That support we promise and our constituents gladly will redeem. 13. That as Pcnnsylvanians wo consider it due lo ourselves and to the -cause of justice, on all occasions and at all times, with or without reference to party organization, to assert in ihe broadest terms, our sense of the inviolable obli gation of the public faith,' and our wish aa'indi viduals. and as a party, that effective measures be adopted lo retrieve tho dishonor that rests on us', and redeem the word of honor of the State holding in equal abhorrence and scorn the false morality which distinguishes tho duty of the State from that of an individual, lo pay its honest debts at any cost or "any sacrifice. 14. That in view of the grea't contesl about to occur, this Convention deeply and solemnly impressed' with a seme of .the responsibility which rests on those they, represeni, to spare no efforts to secure lo the Nation an honest ad ministration of its government, to call upon the Whigs of 1844, the Harrison men of 1810, the friends of Henry Clay and of Domestic Indus try, to unite heart and hand hi the "real conflict about to commence, to organize effectively and minutely in every township of the Common wealth, to circulate information every where, and by all fair means to convoke the people in primary meetings, in address and confer with them fjro.io'f-icu and man to man, and as in the iiiiercoiirse oi nonesi men wi.ii nouesi men, ap peal lo candid intelligence and the generous im pulses which regulate public as well as private conduct. Tosuch an appeal we ill vile our ad versaries, and pledge ourselves confident that on such an appeal the people in tho honest ex ercise of their judgment irue to tho causo of re publican principles and their well asceriained interest?-, will decide with us and for our can didates.
