In doing .so, veeel ihe proudest satisfaction in being able to say, that they meet with our entire approbation, and as far as we have been able to hear, with the entire approbation of the great Whig party. .J.osuua DuxGAN, oF Bucks county, is nominated' for Canal Commissioner, and is well qualified to dis charge the duties of that important office. His views of State policy, with reference to our sys tem of improvement, accord with those of our pres ent patriotic-Executive; and his efforts would there fore be directed to a consummation of that policy a husbanding of the resources of the Common wealth, with a view to the perfection of her sys tem, and an early extinguishment of her debt so that she may be restored to that condition of inde pendence and prosperity to which her position and resources entitle her. Henry W, Snyder, the nominee for .Auditor General, is a Union county farmer and miller a son of the late Sision Snyder, one of the most pop ular Governors Pennsylvania ever had. The son having inherited the sterling qualities and popular ity of his father; as a candidate he will give strength to the ticket, and as a public officer he will confer benefits and honor upon the State. Joseph G. Henderson, of Washington county, has received the nomination for Surveyor General. He is a highly popular and talented man, and has repeatedly been honored with the confidence of his fellow citizens. He has several times ably lepresented Washington county in the legislature, held other offices in that county, and was several years chief clerk in the Land Office. Through out the West, where he is weil known, his name will be a tower of strength to the ticket ; and, in view of the character of his competitor as drawn by his political partisans, the election of Mr. H. may be counted upon with confidence. These are the candidates presented by the Con vention. They are, in character and qualifications, unexceptionable, and can be elected. Cholera in Philadelphia.

Mr. Jones, of Montgomery, offered a resolution recommending to the Whigs ol the State a sup port of the proposed amendments to the Constitu tion of the election of "Judges. It was carried by an overwhelming vote. After the transaction of some other business. tne oowmittee on Resolutions reported, They endorse, in every respect, the course of the pres ent able and efficient State and Nati onal adminis--trations. We have room only for the following, this week, which relates to the subject of the Tar iff, Resolved, That the prostrate condition of the industrial interests of Pennsylvania, produced by the repeal of the Tariff of 1842, and the enactmsat of our present revenue system, is a subject that demands the serious and early consideration of Congress. While our brethern of the South are denouncing the free States of this Union for sup posed aggressions, upon what they claim as their constitutional rights, we invite them to contem plate the injury they have inflicted upon the North, which now threatens, and, in some instances, has already caused the most deplorable distress and penury among large classes of our people a peo ple who are devoted to the Union, who are ever ready to support the constitution and laws of their country, to sustain her honor whenever assailed, and 6 shed their blood in her defences and who are justly entitled, in return, to the protection that she has withdrawn from them, and given to the manufactures, the workshops and labor of other countries. The Whigs pf Pennsylvania desire to present the qustion to the present Congress, wheth er their action upon the subject is to be controlled by the wishes of the British Minister, or the voice of Northern freemen of the American U.nion. The Whigs of the Convention were handsomely entertained by their Whig friends of the city and and county. A magnificient supper, to which up wards of five hundred persons sat down, was giv en on Wednesday evening, at the Chinese Muse um. This was succeeded by another on Thurs day evening, interspersed with lunches during the sittings of the Convention,. The Convention adjourned at about six o'clock, on Thursday afternoon, with three hearty cheers for Henry Clay, three for Gen. Taylor, three for James Cooper, three for Gov. Johnston, and six cheers for the Whigs of Pennsylvania. Dull Times, And What Has Caused Them. The Tariff of 1846 has opperated to a charm in making times dull. It has served its purpose most effectually in crushing rich manufacturers and poor mechanics. It has fully realized the expectations of its best friends in reducing the price of the great staples of Pennsylvania as well as the wages of labor. It has given a wonderful check to the investment of money in multiplying manufacturing establishments and to the demands for labor as well. It is eminently democratic, for it is calculated to make ali men poor alike ! It holds every nose to the grindstone empties every pocket, and gives every body a holiday from the toils and vexations of business! An admirable tariff is that of 1846 ! a better one never was framed to impoverish all classes and conditions of men! Look at its effect in this country how well it has met the intentions of its framers ! Under the Whig system of '42 every body was as busy as could be. An idle man, willing to work, was a greater 'curiosity' than any to be found in Bar num's collection! Every workingman had plen ty to do, and our merchants, and traders, and manufacturers, were over-run with business. But there is no longer any necessity for com plaint on this source. Nowt most people have plenty of time for recreation. Work has slacked and mechanics are no longer bothered with an extraordinary run of custom. Tradesmen need not apply themselves from Monday morning to Saturday night to meet their orders. There is plenty of time for 'all hands' to go a fishing' and do what is to be done desides ! ' GloriousTariff of 1846 ! If enterprise, employment, and an opportunity to earn money, are evils, we are singularly favor ed under the present Free Trade system : As our lamented friend, Dr. Green, used to say 'Let us be thankful !' But seriously Is any one so blind as not to see that the 1 arm ot 1846 is at the bottom ot an our erieveances ! Is it not a fact, proved by dear bought experience, that business of all kinds, in eastern Pennsylvania, has gone down since Free I rade went up I Is it not notorious that instead of building new establishments and increasing our manufacturing resources, their number and em- ciency has actually diminished one half in a peri od of less than four years ? And so it is farther west ; in the iron business especially, in relation to which we have, abundant statistics, collected with much care, and generally to be relied on. From these we learn that in the counties of Clarion, Armstrong and Venango, a bout thirty new furnaces were built between the passage of the act 1842 and that of 1846, and bus iness was prosecuted with great activity and suc cess, stimulating and invigorating every branch of trade and commerce coming m contact with it. Now, however, seven furnaces in Clarion county are out of blast ; many of them under levy by the Sheriff, and those which continue in operation, some eight or nine, we believe, exclusive of those connected with rolling mills, do so because they had their stocks prepared last winter. These will continue to blow the next season, but without an improvement in prices will not renew their stocks. So also in Armstrong county. Here six furna ces have resulted in the total failure of their own ers, and only four it is said, continue in blast. In Venango county, out of some seventeen or eigh teen furnaces that were in successful and prosper ous operation, when the tariff of '46 was enacted, only four are now in blast, most of the remainder having been sold out by the Sheriff, and now ly ing without any preparation for fire. Of the four still blowing, two are working up the stocks on hand without any expectation of continuing opera tions. The other two may possibly continue in operation during the next season. So, and even worse in York. ' There is not a single Furnace.' says the Republican, 'in opera tion in York county.' " Codorus " Margarette," w Woodstoock," " York," and Manor furnaces, are all blown out, and no talk of putting them in blast again. The thing has come to a dead stand. Such are the withering effects of the Tariff of 1846 !" In the vicinity of Duncan's Island six Furnaces have been closed, while but one furnace and one rolling mill remains in oporation. The Tariff of '46 is every where doing its work, and doing it ef fectually. Its "effects" throughout the State are quite as "disagreeable" as the prospect of an in crease of duties can possibly be to British manu facturers. Yet they are to be conciliated and en riched, and our own citizens crushed and impover ished ! So says Locofocoism ! More of 'the Lehigh County Bank Swindle. Moses Y. Beach, of New York, has been indicted by & grand jury of Lehigh county, in reference to his operations with the bank of that co., which exploded a few years ago and whose money he circulated as ageni. The Governor of Pennsylvania has sent an officer to New York, demanding Governor Fish to deliver up Moses Y. Beach, to the authorities of Penn sylvania. It is said that the Governor is in a dilemma about the business. The Revenue and Tariff. The great objec tion urged by the Locofopo3 against the tariff of M3, was, that it yielded too much revenue. Their cry was that every dollar raised by a tariff was thus much abstracted from the pockets of the people, yet now they laud the present tariff Drincioallv un on the ground that it affords more revenue than the tariff of '43.

Tho U S. mail steamer Crescent City, Cap tain Sioddard, iron Chagres arrived at New York about 12 1-2 o'clock on Sunday nieht. bringing intelligence from San Francisco to the 15th May, $250,000 in gold dust, and 156 passengers. The steamer Isthmus arrived at Panama on the 1 6th inst., having left San Francisco on the 15th May. She brought the mail, $300,000 in gold dust, and one hundred and thirty-four passengers. The steamer New Woild arrived at Panama on the 7th inst., and was to leave soon for San Francisco. The steamer Panama was repairing at Pan ama. At Chagres, there were cosiant heavy rains, accompanied with thunder and lightning. The Chagres river was high and rapid. The health of Chagres and Panama was good. Reports from the mining portions of the coun try, both north and south, continue to be of the most favourable nature. The general state of health at the placers is also good. The citizens of Sacramento City are taking measurers to protect their town from future overflow, by constructing a levee. It is done at the expense of the city. ' The dates from the Sandwich Islands are as late as April 13. On the lOih of the same month the Legislature opened its sessions. The King's speech is a fair production, making sev eral important recommendations ; among them, a savings bank, with proper regula'ions, the re moval of unnecessary legal impediments to the intermirage of natiyes and respectable foreign ers a project for a criminal code the found ing of schools, hospitals, &c. The commerce of the islands is steadily increasing. The last dates from Oregon are to the 18th of April. The prospects for crops were fine. Further explorations of the South'Pass show its-practicability and superiority to the North entrance to the Columbia river. Indian diffi culties are apprehended. Another most destructive fire occurred in San Francisco, on the "morning of the 4th of May, which reduced full one-third of the city to ashes. The loss is set down at $500,000. It is thought to be the woik of an incendiary. A reward of $5,000 has been offered for his apprehension. Foreign News. By the arrival of the Cambria at Halifax, on Friday morning, we have Liverpool dates to the 8th inst., but they contain nothing of impor tance. Cotton, Flour, and Corn, were firmer, but without change of price, except the latter article, which had suffered a slight decline. The money market was easy. The news from the Continent is more pacific, and its commeict&l aspect more favourable, than for a long time. The new electoral bill of France, "restricting the elective franchise, had passed by a large majority but caused no dtsturb&ce. The invasion of Cuba by Lopez caused a great sensation in England. Mackerel Fishery. It affords os infinite crat- ifiication to learn that on all parts of the coasts of the Province, the run of spring mackeral has set in unusual quantitv. and of verv sunerior oualitv.
