It will be seen, by reference to!the Address of the Whin Stale Ceniral Committee, publish ed in anoihor column, that Capt. Samuel D. Karns, of Dauphin county, has been placed in 'nomination as our candidate for Canal Com missioner. iMr. Ivarns is an excellent man, and we congratulate the Whig Party, and the people of Pennsylvania, generally, upon this choice. A belter, or more honest man could not "easily have been selected. He is all (hat could have been desired; and Whigs or Demo crats in voting for him, may rest assured that they are supporting a man every way qualified for the high station of Canal Commissioner. It is a notorious fadt that 'the Public Works have been shamefully mismanaged for the last several years. Millions have been lost -and squandered upon demagogues. The people know this and the remedy is with them. The honest and well-meaning voters of the Demo cratic pariy should reflect that the 'only way cf putting a stop to this -plunder, is to elect a Whig. They would still have a majority in the Board of Cornmisioners and control all the appointments; whilst the presence of a Whig, would be a check upon the extravagance and corruption heretofore practised. Capt. Karns, is the very man to do this. lie is an honoura ble, high-minded man, respected alike by polit ical 'opponents and friends and his election would annually save the State thousands of dol lars. This desirable result should induce men of all parlies to vote fnr him. Tlie Assembly Ticket. The locos of Northampton, on Tuesday last, Tiominated James Vliet, of East Allen, and John Jacoby, of Lower Mount Bethel, as candidates for the Legislature. The ticket is now com plete, and reads as follows Assembly. JAMES VLIET, JOHN JACOBY, SAMUEL MEYERS. Something Interesting. It is a truth, as old as the lulls, that there is a feeling and friendship between editors and their patrons, much stronger than that which exists between ordinary people. This feeling and friendship is sometimes very inconvenient to ootn parties out particularly to tne poor printer. Presuming upon their friendship, the subscribers to a newspaper mostly think of pay ing every body else they owe, before their pub lisher. Hard as our case might be, under this rule, we would gladly submit to it, if we even then could secure fair play. But no! every body thinks that the Printer, like the Organ ; pipes of a country church, can live upon wind. The truth is we have been obliged to live upon that dainty, longer than comports with our idea of right between man and man, and have no disposition to do so any longer. We want to live as other people do ; and if our subscribers pav us our just dues, we can accomplish that much coveted desire. In view of these prem ises, we have concluded to make one more ap peal to those who are in arrears to us to pay up. We have called upon them repeatedly, but our ealls have all remained unanswered.- Court commences in Stroudsburg on Monday the6th of October, and we are willing to wait ,n.iill then, to receive what is owing us. Those who remain in arrears after Court week, need not be surprised should they receive a polite visit from one of our Stroudsburg " Charlies? with a card of inviiaiion to attend Esquiro Star 'bird's next loree.

T-lie Warren Murders. j " The Srroudbburg Republican, and the Cam- j den Mail, contain statements in regard to the j Warren Murders, that are wholly without foun dation," Selvidere Apollo. The next time our neighbor of tho Apollo has occasion lo find fault with us, wo hope he will be more explicit, and let us know what he objects to. As it is, we have no recollection of ever publishing any ihing in relation to these murders which impartial judges would nol pro nounce correct in letier and spirit. If the Apollo is grieved lhai we expressed our doubts as to the guilt of the unfortunate men who have suffered the penalty of the law, as well as the individual who has twice been ac quitted, but still has two indictments pending against him, we can assure the Editor that we are not singular in that respect. Thousands entertain ihe same doubts, and are not backward in saying, that Carter and Parke were hung on insufficient testimony. The people of Warren county are satisfied in their own minds thai the accused were the guil ty men. 'We will not stop to inquire whether their fears, suspicions and prejudices, or the un disputed evidence in the case, produced this conviction. It is enough for our purpose, that the evidence in the -'case has not produced the same impression upon our minds, and the com munity at large. Go where you will ; ask who you please, and you will be lold that the testi timony against the accused amounted lo a case of strong suspicion but that they, if sitting as jurors, would not have found rhe prisoners guilty. It was this which produced such an unusual feeling in favor of the prisoners previous to their execution. If ihe people at large had been satisfied, from the evidence, that the prisoners had any hand in the dreadful butchery of their relatives, we are confident there would have been no sympathy in their behalf; all would have said that the forfeit of their lives was but it i r t f a small punisnment lor tneir crime, wo re peat, then, it was the doubt which was enter tained of their guilt, which produced all this hesitation and excitement. Their conduct on the scaffold, did nol cause this feeling to abaie. On 'ihe contrary, it stag gered many a siern and unflinching heart. j They may have been guilty. But we are con strained to say, we have never heard of any 'man, whose guilt was established beyond a per- adventnre, who died as they did. They de clared they were at peace with all men hoped to meet and be happy in heaven and died pro testing their innocence in the "most awful and solemn manner. This conduct was not such as lo strengthen the idea of their guilt, and we could name many who went to see them hung, under a full conviction that they were guilty, who returned from ihe execution, perplexed with doubts lest innocent men had unjustly suf fered. Recurring to the unsatisfactory evi dence upon which ihey were convicted, here is new mailer for doubts as to their guilt. It is a favorite expression of ihe Apollo, and some other Jersey papers, that the prisoners had every opportunity to establish their inno cence that iheir cases were carried to all the Courts in the State, having jurisdiction and that all the judges believed ihem guilty. Other papers, and many individuals, taking up this strain, believed and asserted that the appellate Couris refused to grant new trials, because the judges believed the prisoners to be guilty. This was a mistaken impression but one which nat urally flowed from the Apollo's remarks. The truth is, the appellate Couris merely inquired into ihe correctness of certain points of law which the prisoners' counsel alleged had been erroneously decided against them on the trial. There was no investigation of the facii, after they were passed upon by the jury. If it is true that the Judges believed that Car ter and Parke were guilty, and expressed that belief, ihey were unfit lo sit in judgment upon them, and committed a flagrant error (to use the mildest term) in passing upon their cases. The humblest citizen has the right guaranteed him by ihe Constitution, to be tried by unbiassed judges, and an impartial jury. If the Apollo is right, in what it has asserted in regard to ihe New Jersey Judges, this invaluable privilege! was denied the prinoners and it was bin a mockery of justice, when they appealed lo the higher Couris for ihe correction of mors in Law, (which the ablest counsel in the Slate, said, and firmly believed, were errors,) for the Judges had prrjudged their cases. The Apol lo, in its zeal to justify the people of Warren, in this affair, has placed the Judges in an un pleasant dilemma ; let it extricate them if it can. We could point out many circumstances in regard to ihp.e trials, in which ihe Apollo has been guilty of great impropriety. The same remark is appluablc to many of ihe people of Warreru Bui we have no disposition lo en large upon this unpleasant subject. Our feel ings would urge us to writo columns on it ; but we are aware that it would nol be productive of any good. It would but still more excite the people of Warren, on the one hand; and on the other help to beget a feeling in favor of the abolition of capital punishment which we would much deplore. We are in favor of sus taining the death punishment, in tho case of murder in the first degree. But whilst we are so, we desire lo see life taken only in cases of the clearest proof. Even if jurors should be of opinion that a prisoner is guilty, that opinion should not induce them to find a verdict against him, until they are fullv satisfied that their opinion has been formed from facts that have been indisputably proven thai admit of no earthly doubt, and exclude all possibility of in nocence. ' is better that ninety-nine guilty men escape, than that one innocent one should suffer." This is a maxim which probably nev er was disputed on the Bench, from ihe days of Sir Matthew Hale, until ihe Chief Justice of New Jersey, pronounced ii lo be false in one of these murder cases. Humanity, however, says it is true and just, and the liberal and good will continue to proclaim it. If we published any mis-statoment in regard lo ihese murders, we will be most happy to cor rect it, when pointed out to us. We have en deavored, in the foregoing remarks, lo say no thing calculated to wound the feelings of any cilizen of Warren. Wo believe thai all ihey have done, has been done under a strong con viction of duly to the public although in a number of instances they have gone further than duty required, and urged things beyond tlreir proper limit.' From ihe War Quarter. 'We have no later news from Mexico than lhat which we published lasl week. The ad journment of ihe Mexican Congress without de claring hostilities, has caused the taar-Jevcr, down South, to abate wonderfully. Men about New Orleans and St. Louis are returning to their usual occupations. Heroism, is once more giving way to business. What a pity that the friends of "immediate annexation" have thus lost the opportunity of winning crowns of laurel ! Poor fellows, they must feel quile put out about it. The most notable affair thai has recently la ken place is a "Clambake," in honor of Thom as W. Dorr. With a modesty truly commen dable, ihe prime movers kept the arrangement vince al1 lhal ,hey wi neTer yieId thcir orSan so quiet that very few bui those who were to' izatlon or their principles; but that, like the vie participate in it knew anything about it. It is! torious WhiSs f 1776, and 1840, they will, true, we believe, the Providence Journal darkly !show themselves worthy of victory, as their hinted lhal the Chepachet heroes were astir, but of their glorious doings not one note was sounded to awaken expectation or direct atten tion. The grand affair came off, however, and the man who had almost been just let loose from ihe prison to which he had rightly been con signed, was plentifully bedaubed with praise and glory by those who congregated around him. We learn that Mr. Dorr made a speech, that Ex-Presideni Van Buren, Vice President Dallas, Marcus Morion, Levi Woodbury, R. J. Walker, and other magnates of the Locofoco party, sent letters declaring their sympathy with the would be Governor for his sufferings (qr.) and of accordance with his political principles bui we do not learn that any reference was made to Chepachet, or to Dorr's infamous at tempt to fire the cannon placed before the Fori which his father and brother were defending nothing of the treasonable attempt to subvert a peaceful and happy government; but much of a spirit entirely forgetful of the mercy which per mitted many of them to walk among their fel low men without ihe fear of being incarcerated in a prison. U. S. Gazcllje. A Fact for Espy. In Arkansas they have been suffering from a long dry and sultry season. Some person in the neighborhood of Fort Smith, recently set fire to a prairie, which spread widely and rap idly. It was immediately followed by a fine shower, extending from east to west, which sat isfied the thirsty earth and cooled the atmos phere. Amos Kendall is spoken of as a candidate for ihe vacant. Judgeship in Washington. Am-fill Earthquake in China. Besides ihe dreadful calaiuitv mentioned in our last, occasioned by the burning of ihe Thea tre at Canton, on the 25th of May, we have the account of an additional cniastrophy, re sulting in a still greater loss of life. Accounts have been received from tho province of Ho nan, of a great earthquake, which had demol ished ten thousand houses and killed upward o five thousand of the inhabitants.

' The State Committee, in obedience lo public opinion, haye, alter mature ueimerauou, agrceu to present to the Whigs of Pennsylvania, SAM UEL D. KARNS, Esq. of Dauphin county, as a candidate for ihe oflice of Canal Commission er, at the ensuing election. Mr. Kakns is a gentleman of education, talenis, great business habits, and has a thorough know ledge of our Public Works. He is besides extensively and favorably known throughout the Stale, as a man of unblemished character, and whose strict in tegrity is a sure guaranty of a failhlul discharge of tho duties of the office, should he receive a majority of ihe suffrages of the people The Public Debt of Pennsylvania, most of which was contracted in (he construction of ihe Canals and Railroads, is now about S'10.000, 000 ! The Interest on this debt is $2,000,000! While the income from the Public Works, af ter deducting repairs and expenses, pays at best, only about one-fourth of ihe interest, leaving $1,500,000! to be annually collected from the people ! It is believed thai under a proper sys tem of management ihe dismissal of an army of idle, extravagant agents a strict nccnunla bility of all disbursing and accounting officers and the adoption of a liberal and enlightened tariff of tolls, so as to secure upon our Main Line the trade of the West, which now passes over rival routes, will greatly increase the rev enue from our State Improvements. The New York canals, which connect i he Lakes with tide-water, are not as well located as those of Pennsylvania, which connects the Great valley of the Ohio with the sea board. Nor oughi New York afford a tonage compared wilh the rich productions of our Furnaces and Forges and Coal mines. Yet the New York canals last year yielded $2,446,274, and a net profit of over $2,000,000 ! equal to the interest on our entire debt; while our Public Works, which are more extensive and better located, did not yield a nel revenue exceeding one-fourth of that amount. All this is owing lo bad management. To reform abuses to introduce economy and to adopt such a system of tolls as shall a waken enterprise and bring trade and business upon our Canals and Railway, Mr. Karns. is presented as a candidate. He is a candidate of the Whig party, and is pledged lo carry out its principles. Let the Whigs throughout the Commonwealth rally once again in support of ' their men and measures. Let them show lhat 'undivided front in October next, that will con- cause is worthy of success. JOHN REED, JAMES HiANNAv GEO; W. M'MAH AN, JOHN S. RICHARDS, GEO. W. HAMERSLY, THOS G. M'CULLOH,. U. V.

To All Whigs. The following Resolutions among others, were adopted by a Whig County Convention in Philadelphia, on the 2d inst. and are at this lime especially opportune, throughout the Un ion.

" Resolved, That there never was a period in our history, when the conservative energies of the Whig party were so necessary as now, to save the land from war without and wilhin ; from the prostration of industry, the loss of character, union and energy as a poople, and the forfeiture of the high and holy hopes of the founders of ihe Republic Thai the Whig parly has the power to save the country, and that in such a crisis, inaction and neutrality area treason more blighting & unmanly lhan open opposition - " Resolved, That iho Whig party is-a major ity in this country; and thai il has long held a majority in the highest branch of ihe national logiilature; lhal it swept the country in '40 and '44, and though betrayed'bv treason in tho for- mer, and defeated at the Hushed moment of C, tory by a third party in the latter period; thai jr, power the Whig party gave us the tariff that out of power it compelled our opponent 0 steal its livery in order to secure an ill woniri umph thai in or ohi of power, if true to hser and the country, il is of force sufficient to Tin dicate the Constitution from the excesses of un opposed invasion, and to maintain the measure which lifted the land from the gulf into which Locofoco misrule had plnnged it. " Resolved, Thai despondency is a folly wbich bo fact in the past or ihe present ran (justify ; thai it is unknown lo every irue Wlujr here and elsewhere, and is in character only wilh those who would seek a wretched excuse for a sordid and dishonorable treason; that ihe city, and county of Philadelphia have been, cam be, and shall be carried by the Whig party. " Resolved, That we are Whigs of the Wash ington and Clay schoolWhigs ever,.aud Wli only that we will amalgamate with no party, for in none other can we find the Whig creed and the Whig, patriotism;: thai no party is fr us that is not' with-us-in name, orgnnizatiMi , principles andi purposes, and that with none will we acf directly or indirectly.
