T.he nomination of SAMUEL D. KARNS I asfllie Whin candidate for Canal Commission- J .:t; is received with commendation, bv ihe whole Whig party, in gvi ry part of the Com xikiiiw eahh. There is not a siHle excention--- wit a single note of disapprobation from the I Whig press not a single objection among the whole Whig people but everywhere, so far as we have been able to gather public sentiment the most heart felt satisfaction has been ex- preyed in having a man so well known, so , competent, so honest, and so worthy of Whig j upport. Ii was not expecied that.his nomina tion would be relished by the Locofocos or the .Native Americans, whose candidates he is de ,siined to defeat, but to ihe Whigs, the true and honest Whigs, ihe friends of the Tariff, and j a oeei 100 many mecnanics, mercuams, ,a di'siribntion of the proceeds of the Public Lands ! borers, lawyers, doctors, preachers, teachers, among the Slates, and all who are in favor of' engineers !

' instead of continuing them as they , are now managed, a burden upon the Tax payers. Let the Whigs every where rally in earnest then to ihe support of our candidate. There never was a belter prospect of success, and there never was a candidate belter entitled to t support. A full Whig vote will be a certain Whig victory. The office of Canal Commissioner is now more important than that of Governor, as he has a larger patronage, and a more important trust committed to his hands. An intelligent and faithful Canal Board may save the credit of the State, and relieve ihe people from a portion at lea.M, of Slate taxation. An ignorant and corrupt Canal Board may disgrace the Com monwealth, and HEAP GREATER. BUR DENS UPON THE PEOPLE ! , Let the Whigs then, in every county in the Stale, "pick their flints, and try iheir rifles :igain !" Let them arouse to the good work, perfect their organization, and bring every vo ter (o the polls, and a glorious victory will crown iheir efforts. Perm Int. ITIaryland. The annual election look place in this Slate on Wednesday last, and has resulted in ihe choice of four locofoco and I wo whig members of Congress. In the ciiy of Baltimore J. P. Kennedy, the whig candidate, was defeated by i'he Native party running a ihird candidate. All the blanches of ihe State Government, howev er, are whig. Only one Senator was elected this year, to fill a vacancy, and in this body lhe whigs have a majority of 7. In lhe House par 9 'lies will stand 43 whigs to 39 locofocos whig r majority, '4 in joint ballot, 11. Pat. Int. . f, .

We have received pamphlet with the above title, being the lOih Baccalaureate Address in Lafayette College al-Easton, Pennsylvania.---Theaddress was delivered by- George Junkin, D. D. President, and is an excellent production. The Doctor, afier stating a common objec tion urged against Colleges, viz": that 'there are too many learned men already,' proceeds to answer it as follows : - !r " Let us ask the objectors a question or two. Mr. Farmer, how much do you'gei for your wheal this year?

Now, interrogate the manufacturer of shoes an article whoso de mand must be reoular and constant. How is O the shoe market ? Dull, dull too much slock on sale: half the shoemakers must stop. Leath- "er is too hih and shoes too low. Well then, hers must be doing well. What do you say, Sir! I say that leather is a drug, and from the present high prices of hides and bark, and the over-stock of leather, ihe price is below a liv ing profit. Is it any better with mercantile bu siness ? Ask the storekeeper, and you get the samctlo'ulul reponse. Nothing doing and two or three new stores in town this week. The mismess iiiCUluP and one-half must shut up sh,,P ore six month.

The New Orleans Picayune says that the Texan papers have given so the public for the first time, ihe "secret treaty" between Santa Anna and Texas, by which the fo'rmer obiained his release when a prisoner. The Galveston News says that it was found amongst ihe pa pers ol Gen. Austin. Originally the treaty was inclosed in a letter written by Santa Anna lo Gen. Jackson, then President of the U. States, and the whole accompanied by another letter written by Gen. Austin, at Santa Anna's re quest, to the same distinguished man, soliciting his mediation and influence fur the settlement of difficulties between Mexico and Texas. Gen. Austin's letter explains fully the grounds upon which Santa Anna obtained his release all of ihem having reference to the solemn pledges made by the latter to use all his exer tions to obtain the acknowledgment of Texan independence lo the Rio Grande. The Mexi can Government never sanctioned this treaty, although they regained their army by it. Big Thunder. This notorious leader ol ihe'Aini-RiMiters in New-York, has been tried and convicted. He was brought into Court at Hudson on Tuesday last, and in reply to ihe usual inquiry from the Bench if he had any ihing to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him, rose and in a low lone staled that he wished for a few days lenity in order that he might see his wife and settle his. family affairs, which request was complied with. Judge Edmonds ihen address ed him at some length, and concluded by pro nouncing his sentence lo be " confinement in the Clinton Comuy Stale Prison during lhe term of u ndiufaTlife." Pah Int. Private Political History. We have an intimation on which we rely that, during the last Presidential canvass, a, few days after James K. Polk had written his Kane Tariff letter for Pennsylvania, which exerted so vital an influence upon the vote of that State, he became alarmed lest it should alienate the Free Traders, and despatched another letter to Kane, asking him 'to return or suppress the Ta riff letter. But meantime the letter had either been published by Kane, or the Loco managers 'of Pennsylvania found themselves so hard pressed on the Tariffargument, that they would have it out, at all events. Muhlenberg their not suppress' it. Will Mr. Kane be so good as to inform us if there is any error of fact, and if so what, in the statement above ? If he maintains silence, the public will know' how to interpret it. N. Y. Tribune. The Whiff Spirit of our State. The Pittsburg Gazelle copies an article from our columns in relation to the Whig spirit of Philadelphia, and says : We are glad 10 see our Philadelphia friends thus determined. Al legheny county greets them in the good cause, and promises also to send up a full Whig ticket J to the Legislature, as well as to elect all her other nominations. Let the Whigs of "Phila I )ii..u: 1 c 1 .. . j uull,u,a c,v iUU U"iy leinaiu umi auu uuueu, and all will go well. Old Pennsylvania we confidently believe will yet be redeemed. It cannot be that this great manufacturing State, should much longer fellowship a tariff-haling party, or support an administration laboring for the overthrow of our most vital interests. Philadelphia Inquirer. Perfectly Satisfactory. The Dover (N. H.) Gazette, charging the Whigs with every crime both of ihe present and former times, exclaims in true Locofoco slyle, " Where are the Federalists ?" The Enquirer published at lhe same place answers as follows : Henry Hubbard now resides at Charlestown in the region where he got up a meeting to sus tain the Hartford Convention; Samuel Cushman is now at Portsmouth, holding an appointment under the present Administration; Cyrus Barton has lately been appointed by President Polk, Marshal for the District of New Hampshire . . .0 Jdiiica uuuiiaiiuii id iiuvy, aa outiciai ui uiaic, assisting President Polk in the settlement of the Oregon question with England ; George Bancroft is his Secretary of War ; Louis Mc Lane has been sent as Minister to England ; A.

An Affair of Honor. A duel was fought nol long since, at Pennsacola, between two col ored young gentlemen, about a. lady love. Nei ther was killed, but ihey showed their bravery, and it is possible that she may now lake them belli, inasmuch as ladies are apt lo love the braves, andjhose gentlemen have equalled their white brethren. , Burnt Rhubarb in Diarrhoea. It may be useful to knpw the value of burnt rhubarb in Diarrhma. It has been used with ihe same pleasing effects for more than twenty years, After one or two doses ihe pains quickly sub side, and the bowels return lo iheir natural state. The dose is five to ten grains. The manner of preparing it, is'lo burn rhubarb powder in an iron pot, stirring ft until it blackens ; then smo ther it in a covered jar. It loses two-thirds of its weight by incineration. It is nearly taste less. In no case has it failed where given. It may be ghen iii port wine, milk and water. Living in the Wet. y The Hennepin Herald, published at Ilehne pin, Illinois, gives the following list of articles ofproduco in Putnam and Bureau counties: " Beef, the best cuts can he had at frohV2 to 3 1-2 cents per pound ; porkrveal and mutton, about the same price; wheat from 35 to 50 cents per bushel ; corn. 20 and 25 cents per bushel ; potatoes 12 and 15 cts. per bushel, (!!); butter, 8 and 10 cents ; cheese, 5 ami 6 cents ; eggs 5 cents per dozen ; groceries, proportion ably cheap. As for game, from deer; wild lur kies, geese, ducks, prairie hens, (or grouse.) the queen of all game down to pigeons, quails, snipe, meadow larks, &c, there is such a quan tity, and so easy to Ho obtained, that sportsmen lose their relish for it. And as to fish, of the most delicious qualities, such as the catfish of 50 to' 100 pounds ; the buffalo, black bass,pick erel, pike, &c, may be caught at all seasons and in any quantities. Apples, peaches, mel ons, and in short, every description of fruit, comes to its highest perfection. Rents are low, land is cheap, and men with a small capital, with stout hearts and active hands, can soon secure a happy home, if I hey are. willing to make the trial. This truly 13 ' ihe laud that flows with milk and honey." All very pretty, but have you, no Ague in that region ? Extraordinary Case of Insanity. A reliable correspondent writing to us from Pinegrove, furnishes the particulars of a most distressing and singular case of insanity, de-' veloped a few weeks since in the family of Mr. Thomas Miller, a farmer, residing about two j miles from Pinegrove. While nearly the whole of the family were laboring in a corn field, lhe eldest son manifested the moat extravagant symptoms of lunacy. Shortly after a younger brother exhibited similar symptoms ; next the two sisters, and very shortly a,fter the father displayed lhe same violent symptoms of de rangement, apparently ihrough sympathy. The two sons and the father are now confined in the County Poor House. Hopes are enter tained of their restoration. Anthracite Gazette. Air Gun. A gentleman of Philadelphia (says the New York Morning News,) has shown us an air gun of his invention, in the form of a walking-stick, which is of the most ingenious and admirable j workmanship.

A man, somewhere down on Cape Cod, has drunk 91,983 glasses of rum ihe last thirty-six years. The cost would amount to near $6000, and we venture to say he is not worth a fip, finds fault with hard times, and wonders why he cannot get along in the world Sign of a Tedious Winter. . Ii is a remarkable fact, that bees, this year, so far as we can learn, says the Hartford Times,, have almost universally refused to swarm; and in some instances, after filling iheir hives, they have commenced laying up store on the outside. Such extraordinary conduct of those weather wise and provident insects, it is thought, indi cates a winter of unusual length and severity. A White Fugitive from Slavery. A- Mr. B. Lee, of -Maysville, Kentucky, ad vertises seven runaway slaves, and offers a re ward of seven hundred dollars for their appre hension and arrest. Among the fugitives was an infant, four months old, and a whito woman described thus by Mr. Lee: " Fanny, the mo ther of four children, is about 25 years of age, white as most white women, straight light hair" Provided For. . An office-seeker asked for the situation of Messenger of the Post-office Department. Cave Johnson recommended him to go to Ore gon, and dig for a living. Rude and rough ad vice, but probably well intentioned. The oflice seeker one fine morning bundled up his clothes, jumped into ihe cars, and made for ihe West. A short lime since, he wrote to an acquaintance that he had scitled among the Indians, had mar ried a squaw, had a field of maize in cultiva tion, and was on ihe eve of starting with his red friends for the chase.

This year will long be remembered for some peculiarities attending the fish of our water.-.. Whether.ow'mg to a protracted dronght.nroth. er causes, fish heretofore found only in s-attfta-tei have penetrated far up our inland streams. For instance, seals have been caught1 as lnh up as Rant-ocas, in lhe Delaware, and hoy have caught crabs at the wharves of Philadel phia, a thing unheard of before.
