FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
HENRY M. FULLER.
OF LUZEENE COUNTY.
STATE SENATOR,
O. H. WHEELER,
OF CARBON
O. H. WHEELER, Esq., of Carbon county,
has been nominated by the Senatorial Conferees
of this District, as the Whig and Protective Tar
iff candidate ror State Senator. Mr. W. resides
in Mauch Chunk ; is a gentlemen of fine talent ;
jUnderstands the wants and interest of the people
.of lbe State and would make one of the stron
gest and ablest Senators in the State. The voters
of the district should at once determine to send
him to that bodybecause, unlike his competitor,
ho is fresh from their ranks, and has all the ne
cessary qualifications to make him an able and
faithful representative.
Senator.
There is quite a rumpus in Schuylkill county
..about the nomination of Judge Fraily for Senator.
,A large portion of the Locofoco party, we have
m been informed, are deadly opposed to his nomina
tion, and will do every thing in their power to de
feat him. We should not be surprised, says the
Miners' Journal, if he would bo beaten in this
County by two thousand majority, if the present
opposition should continue to oppose him. Our
, naturalized citizens have not forgotton the " float
ing population" and the ' birds of passage."
Alexander E. Brown, of Easton, we learn with
pleasure, has T)een nominated by the Whigs of the
Oth Senatorial District, composed of the Counties
of Northampton and Lehigh, as their candidate for
" the State Senate. Mr. B. is an ablo man, and if
- elected, would do honoi to the district. His com
petitor is General Shimer, the regular Locofoco
nominee.
Wilis Conference.
A meeting of Conferees forthe nomination of
State Senator for the th, District, composed off

Whigs Wake Up.
The prospect of electing Henry M. Fuller,
Canal Commissioner, over Gamble, Locofoco, and
; securing a Whig majority in the next Legislature
nis brightening every day. From every part of
- tha State we have the. most cheering accounts.-r
i lAfull WJiig vote is. all that is required.
The Coniiiijr Election.
Whigs ! are you ready for the contest ! Are
yon aware of the short time that will elapse be
fore you will be called upon to engage in a strife,
the fierceness of which you can, to some extent,
. realize by calling to mind the struggles which
you have so recently and manfully passed through.
. The weapons then so successfully wielded, you
are again called upon to use the same principles
,fire at stake as then were, and are you ready ?
t Have you your " armor buckled oh," and " shoul
r;der.to shoulder," ready to engage in this fierce
contest Your enemies, goaded and maddened
- by recent defeat, will redouble their exertions, and
will use every possible means, to gain a victory.
, Their object is to. secure the spoils. So long
New York Politics.
The old hunkers and burnburners of the state of
New York have at last patched up a union, each
faction nominating a part of the ticket to be sup
ported at the November election. At a conven
tion, held at Syracuse the old hunkers nominated
John A. Lott, for Controller ; Levi S. Chatfield,
for Attorney General; Frederick Follett, for Ca-j
nal Commissioner, and Davis Clark, for State
Prison Inspector. At a convention, held at Utlca,
the barnburners nominated Freeborn C. Jeweti,
for Judge of the Court of appeals ; Henry J. Ran
dall, for Secretary of State ; Alexander Campbell
for Engineer, and Benjamin Welsh, for Treasurer.
These nominations complete the ticket, and, of
course, it is the expectation or desire of the lead
ers that the mass of both factions will coalesce.
In this they will, we apprehend, be quite mistaken.
It is an easy matter for leaders, whose chief de
sign is to perpetrate power in their own hands, to
agree upon terms of reconciliation ; but is a very
different affair to bring the body of the party to
confirm and sustain the agreement. Coalitions,
of the sort now attempted, have never been suc
cessful, but have always ended in discomfiture.
The whigs of New York are united, and will prove
irresistable in the approaching contest.
Ajjerliomueu& of the State for the
iectieu of senators ana Repre
sentatives.
Under the present Constitution, the State is to be
apportioned every seven years, into Senatorial and
Representative districts, the basis being the num
ber of taxable inhabitants in each county, the
limit being 33 Senatorial and 100 Representative
districts. The presentapportionment was made
in 1843, and baaed upon a ratio of 3,876 taxables
for each Representative, and 11,682 for each Sen
atorthe whole number of taxables in the State,
at that time, being estimated at 387,600. It will
be the duty of the Legislature to be chosen in
October next, to make a new apportionment, upon
the basis of the taxables returned at said election.
The following table constructed from the returns
of 1848, and which we copy from the Harrisburg
Telegraphy though not entirely accurate, is never
theless sufficiently so for all practical purposes,
and will enable the reader to form a pretty correct
estimate of tho number of taxables in each dis
trict at the present time. This return shows the
number of taxables in the whole State to be 460,-
936, making a Representative ratio of 4,609, and
a Senatorial ratio of 14,827. The districts in the
following table, are arranged according the apor
tionment of 1843, the number of taxables, and the
taxes paid, are according to the returns of 1848 :

Are Ton Ready?
The election is approaching nearer and nearer,
and the nearer it comes the more important it is
for the Whigs to be ready ! It is certain beyond
a doubt, that if the Whigs will but go to the elec
tion and THERE DO THEIR DUTY, the Lo-co-focos
will fare no better than they did last No
vember. Victory is within reach, and why not
make an effort to maintain bur rights. The oppo
sition can advance nothing that will aid them ;
their motives are already too well understood ;
their cry of " Federalists" can have but little bear-
ng on the minds of sensible men, and the old
song of " Democracy" will fall to the ground if
the Whigs but do their duty. It is well known
that Loco-focos are opposed to a Protective Tariff,
they even publicly avow their opposition to it, and
the Whigs are in favor of protection to Home In
dustry. They do "not, like the Loco-focos, change
their ideas every election, but do always advocate
he rights of the poor. Voters, for once assume
the rights of freemen ; do not cast your votes to
gratify a candidate or a party, but consider the in
terests of the State and county in which you re-1
side, and when you are sure you are tight GO
AHEAD. The party that opposes Protection
should not, cannot, and dare not succeed, as long
have they been living and luxuriating at the ex
..ense of the public, that, to be deprived of Ms as a majority of the people are true republicans,
source 01 sustenance, is sure oeatn. x ou nave
broken down and scaled the walls of the enemy
you have routed them from their strong hold
The ground on which they soiately fancied them
selves secure is now yoars. You have intro-
duced a system which, if matured and brought to
: maturity, will soon eradicate and removerthe evils
which a corrupt and designing government has
brought upon the Commonwealth. Who could
better fill the office of Chief Magistrate of this
Commonwealth, than Wm. F. Johnston? How
skilfully has he turned, the course of the ship,
which, by imprudence and ill .judgment of the Lo
cofoco party, was near being. engulphed and lost.
Already do you breathe more freely and feel your
V pulsation grow stronger. It takes no discerning
eye to see the life and animation that is springing
op around you, and filling all your borders. And
now you are called uppn-o sustain your Execu-
. live in his earnest endeavors, to regenerate and

can you do this! Place Hcb men, and such on-

fact, we call upon you as hoBest, faithful, fearless

Spalding and Rogers' Circus.
This famed Equestrian corps gave two perform
ances m this.place on the 17th inst., to overflow,
itig houses. We seldom find it appropriate to no
tice particularly exhibitions in this line, but the
gentlemanly bearing of the proprietors and men
composing the company the admirable mariner
in which the performances are conducted, and the
gratifying interest and amusement they impart to
the admirers of the feats of the arena, induce us
to express our approbation of the commendable
reforms and improvements which S. & R. have
introduced into the management of equestrian ex
hibitions. We believe we speak the unanimous
sentiment of the immense throng who visited the
performances of this company here, when we pro
nounce it the best ever seen in Bath. From the
Grand Entree of 15 horses to the finale all was
unexceptionable ; tho music of the Apollonicon
is admirably adapted to the performance, the
Horsemanship we never saw equalled; the Clowns
are inimitable, and wisely exclude all vulgarity.
The scenes from the revolutionary war, are ex
ceedingly interesting and worth double the price
of admission . Old Put and the Yankee girls
brought down cheers from the audience. At the
conclusion, Gen. Washington, mounted on a beau
tiful dappled grey horse, full sixteen hands high,
was carried around the arena on the shoulders of
twelve continental soldiers. This latter feat we
never heard of being accomplished by any other
company in short this is the only company we
ever knew to fulfil the promises made in their
bills. Wherever they go, we bespeak for them
a good reception. Bath, (N. X.) Fanner.
This company, as will be seen by our adverti
sing colums, will exhibit in Stroudsburg, on Tues
day October 9th. It is said to be one of the most
extensive and most entertaining corps now exhib
iting in the United States. The Apollonicon
drawn by forty horses, ontheir entrance into town,
will be a novel and interesting sisht.

Voters of Pennsylvania ! your attention is
called to the following resolution passed at the
Pittsburg Locofoco Convention, which placed
John A. Gamble in nomination for Canal
Commissioner :
Resolved, that the practical workings of the
present Revenue Laws clearly demonstrate their
superiority over those which immediately preceded
them, thus proving that, that which was logical
in argument, is sound in principle, and practi
cal in its effects. All systems which give boun
ties to particular interests to the detriment of
the great industrial classes of the country
which seek to aggrandize a few at the expense
of the many are a clear violation of those
principles of Democracy which proclaims to
all equality of rights.
Now to -read the subjoined, adopted at the
Whig Siate Convention, which nominated Hen
ry M, Fuller for the same office:
Resolved, That protection ro the industry of
the people is one of the first duties of govern
ment : that the true interests of the State and
Nation are best promoted by placing the man
ufacturer, mechanic, and laborer, side by side
with the agriculturist the days of the greatest
prosperity for the country hare been those
when domestic labor has been protected, un
necessary and excessive importation of foreign
fabrics prevented by a proper tariff of duties,
and, in our opinion, such results have not fol
lowed the tariff of 1846, and can never be pro
moted by its continuance.
Resolved, that as PennsyNanians we cannot
submit to see our iron manufactures thrown
idle, our mines of coal rendered valueless, our
laborers and citizens unemployed, our capital
destroyed ana business parahzed, to try any
further experiments on the locofoco theories of
Free trade, when we are taught by all past
experience that poverty and want must be tho
consequence of importing from other countries
those articles which we can better manufacture
within our owiy borders.
Here the issue is distinctly nude. The
contest on the election of Canal Commissioner
is the pefpetuation of the British Free Trade
policy, and a further endorsement of the chi
merical dogmas of Polk, Dallas & co.r on the
one hand, and Protection to the interests of the
producing classes of our state on the other.
Tho advocates of Free Trade will vote for
John A, GAMBfiE-r-the friends of Protection
to Free Labor, for Henry M. Fuller. Pen
sylvamans 1 readj pause, reflect ! and then
Vote.

ingion, later than the above, says that the fol
lowing is a true stale of the affair between our
Government and the French Minister : Dunn
Mr. Rives' reception in France some highly!
offensive remarks were made by M. Pous:al
to Mr. Clayton, which the latter inclosed in i
letter to Louis Napoleon, demanding the recall
of M. Poussin. The uecessarv time haw
France, M. Poussin was notified on Monday
that his passports were at bis service, and liw
the President would no longer receive hira.
A Washington letter alleges that
".France, as a " Republic" has, from iho
first, evinced her dislike of the United Slates.
The feeling has not had the flimsy veil of di
plomatic courtesy thrown over it. It has stood
out plainly, palpably, openly. Upon what oc
casion, since France has had a President, bu
the United States been mentioned as we had
right to expect ? Was it in. the President
address, where, in referring to the nation!
which had recognized her independence, osr
country, the first to acknowledge her, was not
eren alluded to?"

Mr. Bodine, whoit will be remembered brooglt
a suit against the Philadelphia and and Tren
ton R. R. for ejecting him from the car op05
hia refusal to pay excessive fare, was cast
the irial a! Doylestown. The court ruled th
the Company had a right to fix whatever chir
ges they please and enforce their payment.
Not the Last of it. The auit in Buck
Co. to testthe right of the Philadelphia aJ
Trenton R. Company to make a difference is
the rates of fare between a way and throng
passenger, ia not the only one of the kind.
We understand that our own Court is about
try one, in which the damages are hid '
$50;000 for ejecting a passenger. The i1'
may go to th Supreme Court at last for fr"
dflciaion. TiW principal ia an important ob.
