The Sunbury American, a strong Democratic paper, pub lished in Northumberland county, contains the following jemarks about Gov. Johnston. Honorable men among the political opponents have grown indignant at the 'baneful false hopds circulated about him, and haye rebuked his caumniato'rs. " As a private citizen, Gov. Johnston is a gentleman of character and standing. As ehie magistrate of the Commonwealth, his taiehte have commanded the confidence of his own; party, and the-respect of his' opponents. He also made these remarks because he had introduced into this State, in its Gubemato rial elections, thc practice of the candidate appearing before the people, not because ne wisuea to solicit othce at the;r hands, but because he felt it to be the duty of a candi- datato meet his fellow-citizens, and declare to them, face to face, his sentiments. His opponents had said in the last campaign that e had sought office publicly upon the rostrum. He appealed to the people then present to Jtnow whether, m his addresses to them here in Philadelphia, he had begged office: (Loud responses No ! No !" He looked upon a public man as a simple agent of the people in carrying out the meas ures which they favor and desire; and believ ing that he was correct in the position he had assumed, and would be sustained in a practice which was now common in other States, he determined, in 1848, to address his fellow-citizem'throughoutthe State. He had said then, that he'desired to represent no- man whose opinions differed frorn hisown up- on the topics -concerning1- which " he 'had ad- dressed the people. , IJe said a) .,iig'jjr.; .

CUI1 IIUU UlYUltU lllULUUtlUll, ill III 111! (.It It llli on the favorable consideration of Congress. For some reason or other, that recommenda tion was treated as if it had never been'made. Here the Governor dilated, in an eloquent and fervid style, on the great natural resour ces of Pennsylvania, and the inducement thus held out to her to be in favor of protection. The Legislature then failed to do its duty on the subject The subsequent year his re commendation again fell without effect Not willing to abandon the purpose, on a third oc casion he told the legislature that the de linquency of Pennsylvania had lost the meas ure of protection. Again the warning was unheeded. The spirit of party had produced these bad results. The Governor asked if he was to be charged with breaking pledges thus fulfilled, and whether there were not other men who should hide their heads in shame. He had said further; during the former can vass, that he was "in favor of universal edu cation;" and he had it now to say that there is ho such thing as a non-accepting school district in the State. He instituted a con trast between the condition of the State one hundred and fifty years ago and its present". prosperity m respect to public education. At the olden date which he alluded 16, the first school house was established very near the place on which he was then standing, by Enoch Flowers, with a class of some fifteen or sixteen scholars. He founded the princi ple of public instruction among us; and now in stead of one school house and fifteen or sixteen scholars, you have fifty or sixty thousand scholars here in this city, and schools are scat tered all over the broad domains of Pennsylva nia. He did not sneak of these beneficial rpsnlf as Uowing from any measures of his own, but he did it because lie had placed himself on that platform, regardless of all considerations of personal popularity ; and now he gloried that the system was triumphant throughout the State. In the former canvass'hebad said that he was opposed to the abuse of thc veto power, and ho held thesame opinion yet; but he also held that thlTConslitution of the State must be preserved intact, and its provisions fulfilled, even if principles were sacrificed. He did not believe that he had sacrificed any principles he had avovfed, nor did he believe that if the Whig principles were rightly understood the Constitution need ever be sacrificed. He appealed to his fol-low-citizens to know if he had abused the ve to power. (Cries of "No," "No.") The Legislature had nassed measures wlnr.1i did notmeethisapprobration, but he had notset ui ma luumiuiai win in opposition to that of many others. He explained that he could not sign the apportionment bill first passed, because it was not formed in fairness and jus tice, and was framed in total disregard of the proper principles of representation : nn,l hr said that had there been time before the close of the session, he could have nresentn.l reasons which would have satisfied any rea soning man. that the bill which was minliv successful was neither fair nor just inomer uui ne had not sighted was one re ating to the courts in this county, and con. erring upon the iudtres the novver avnr tav ern licenses.
