Whiff State Convention.
The attention of the reader is directed to ,the
proceedings of the Whig State Convention,' held
at Harrisburg on Thursday last, which will be
found in to-day's Republican. Henry M. Fuller,
Esq., of Luzerne, received the unanimous nomi-
tant errors of fact, into which our cotemporary
was. led, either by ignorance or mistake. There
are other misrepresentations yet to be produced,
which will not admit of easy explanation, and
which exhibit either a deliberate design to deceive
or an utter disregard of truth. In order to break
the force of its fall, the Pennsylvanian summons
one Asa Dimock to 'its aid, who very obligingly
publishes a letter to answer the purpose. This
production is introduced with a flourish of trum
pets, and the aioresaid Dimock is accredited as an

nation of the Convention, as the h.g candidate individual ..for a numhet of years connecled with
for Canal Commssioner ; and with hirn and a be
coming effort on the part of the Whigs of the
State, we have the strongest assurance of success.
It now becomes the Whigs to be active and vig
ilant, and lo: .spare no effort which can contribute
to the success of our cause and candidate. The
campaign is opened and must be prosecuted with
vigor. The resolutions of the Convention boldly
proclaim the principles upon which the Whig par
ty goes into the canvass1, and a reasonable effort
only is required to insure their triumph.

teer writes as follows :
" Since the resumption, eight semi-annual, pay
ments have been made, and in only two it has
been necessary to ( resort to a temporary loan
first, in February, 1847, and again in February
1818. In both instances, after the payment of the
interest in August following, there has been a
large surplus at the disposal of the State Treasu
ier, and a balance to the credit of the Common
wealth inlhe Bank of Pennsylvania, which is the
agent for the payment of the interest. In 1848,

Now we propose to' conyict this statement of
falsehood, by the official report of the Auditor Gen

The letting of this road will shortly be made, and
instead of putting the contracts out to the lowest
bidder, it is supposed they will be placed in the
hands of such as are willing- to do the bidding of
the Canal Board. We know that a few years ago
the Locofoco party made a desperate struggle to
carry this senatorial district. The relaying of the
" North Track" of the Columbia railroad, was put
out, but. not to the lowest bidder, and;Jiundreds of
hireling voters were imported upon the road, just
before the election, to vote down the freemen of
the district. By this transaction, the Treasury
of the State was robbed, and an outrageous fraud
committed upon, the rights of the People. If pub
lic indignation is not directed against the nefarious
scheme, we shall have thejputrage of the " North

On Saturday night last, says the Tamaqual-e'-gion,
Dr. Fields, a native of England, who was
practicing at Mauch. Chunk about two years, aW
squatulated to parts unknown,, wi th the eldest
daughter of Judge Packer. It appears- that the
Doctor, was in the habit of ma"kirig frequent calls
at the Judge's house, with & design as is said
of making Miss Lucy his wife, on some future oc
casion. The Judge, after becoming acquainted
with the secret, refused his attentions, and denied
him his house ; subsequently, the lbving parties
concocted a runaway,, but were foiled, in the at
tempt by the- Judge,, who afterwards sent his

while the Whig State Treasurer has paid it in
gold and silver, and this too in the face of the
fact, that the Loco-Focos have always professed
the sternest devotion to Tiard money, while the

KT All Who read the Philadelphia Ledger know
with what apparently heartfelt zeal it opposes all
corporations and denounces all exclusive privile
ges. But the last Miners' Journal brings to light
a transaction which shows that, like other Loco
Foco editors and leaders, they a're perfectly wil
ling to be the recipients of favors, and enjoy ex
clusive privileges themselves. It appears that a
bill was reported to the Legislature last winter,
incorporating the Silver Creek Improvement Com-
'pany, and that William M, Swain and Aiariah H.
Simmons, proprietors of the Ledger, and Joseph S.
Silver, alias " lias," the somewhat noted cor
respondent of that paper were three of the eight
persona who were by its passage to be enabled to
enjoy privileges not possessed by others engaged
in mining operations or the coal trade. The bill
was killed as it ought to have been. It limited
the capital of the Company, these eight individu
als named therein, " and their associates, succes
sors and assigns," to two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. Here we have a beautiful exhibi
tion of the honesty of individuals who are perpet
ually denouncing Capital,' moneyed corporations
monopolies, and exclusive privileges.

Cholera among the Chickens.
A singular disease prevails among the chickens
in various parts of tne country. It appears to be
a species of bowel complaint, with symptoms very
similar to the Cholera which has carried off such
numbers of the human kind. A Wilmington pa
per says, that a farmer near that city had sixty
old hens, thirty of which he picked up dead and
he is not able to find more than twenty of the re
mainder. A similar loss has been felt by other
armers in the same region. The same mortality
prevails amongst the chickens in this neighbor
hood. We are informed that numbers of them have
died within the last week or two, and that they
have become very scarce in market. Our physi
cians sav that people should be cautious,- about
eating chickens during the prevalence of this dis
temper. --Reading Gazette.
There is a great mortality among the fowls in
and near Cincinnati and nearly all brought to
