We are of those viho believe that the rublie
Works can he made to yield a rcvenue.to . the
government, offer and iibeve all expenditures; but
they must be judiciouSly and, liontstly managed
We base this belief mint] the fact that they did so
under the administration of In
1836-37, the revenue on the whole fine of finish:

year of Gov. fitner's administration. In 1837.

32—The expenditures $736,744 5.5. Excess ot

Heys, is a Ftafement taken from oilieiardata,
showing that in the, three years- of- Gov. Ritner's
achninistration,.whdn the public works were un-
der the management of'lionext and capable
oiliceFs, (hey yielded arrexcess of 'receipts over and
above-all expenses, of $552, 4 24 - 2 341
Now contrast this with the management of af
fairs under David R. Porter, and we find that in
the first year of his administration there was A
DEFICIT of 0G0,395 98: thus:—ln 1829-40,
the first year of Porter's administration, the rove.

the two years. here is a specimen of the
WHOLESALE PLUNDER PRACTICED tr:com
THE PRESENT AHIIHNISTRATION. Here
is the great leak in the vessel that requires .stop
ping; and until it is stopped, the condition alhe
Sbit - C must grow worse end worse.. The,extrava.
trance and waste in the Legislature, in matters of
printing, contingencies, .Ste., about which there
is so great a cry, and in which there is great
room for. reform, is nothing in comparison with
the shameful abuses practiced upon thh public
inprovement
We have no certain Bata at hand by which to
as,eertain the exact amount of revenue and expen
ditures in the two last sears. The reports of the
State Treasurer and Additor General arc made
out in such a manna as to make it impossible to
got a correct statement from thern,,the items be.
mg jumbled up under general heads.. It is nolo.
Anus, however, that the sante systeni of profuse,
cxpendituru %%Ts continued up to the time the'
present boaedsoif Comm if viand's" was pppinted.
The present board, we belieie:to their credit; be
it said, have' made ;cone praise-worthy efforts to
reform abuser; and where there was so much
'room for reform, it would be strange, indeed, it
they could not improve a little. But in order to
introdneo a thorough reform, there muSt.. be a
thorough change of- policy: New 'Men - must he
elected; wholly disconnected with the administra.

."The, subject of this notice - is; the son, of Simeon!
Guilford, Esq.., of BittSfield, Massachusetts. a sur
iikiing soldier of ,the reiteltitionary war; (now in
the 93d year ofhis age,) who in thdt mementoes
period Terved,his country with zeal and fidelity
for six years.' As in numberless other Cases, Mr.
Guilford, after the close of the. revolution, wad
compelled to earn his bread by the• Sweat of hie
brow, and consequently nnable to give his son an
education fitting hies' for a 'higher station than
that oCcepied by himself: This difficulty, flow ,
ever. Was overcome by tic perseverance of the
sun, who is, in every sense of the word, a self'.,
educated man. When a mere youth, lie became
the pupil of Canvass White, Esq., and joined the
corps of that distinguished engineer on the great
Erie Canal, in the State of Now York, with which
lie was connected fir? five years.
In 1823, Mr. Guilfbrd was selected by Mr.
White to aid hint in the eonsti uction of the Union
Canal, and fbr four years,wits engaged as such
on the most important service •to that company,
as Well as to the whole country, by the discovery
aiid application of the Black Hydraulic commit,
or 'Water L u ne, an entirely new article, which
the company , procured in great abundance and at.
a small expense. Previous to this discovery, the
cheapest cement used by the 'company for locks,
&c., cost about S2,oo'per bushel. !find discovered
I by illr.,Guilftird was a fterwards,procured at from
30 to 3d cents, per bushel, and ' Since then has
been brought ion general ono on most of the pub
lie itn'proveinnets, not only in this State, but
thro - ughout the country, . So sensible was the
company of the grout service rendered by - Mr.
Guilford, by the discover) , of that composition,
that they presented him with a full copy of Rees '
ttleyett/pWaill Ils ' a slight. compensation for the
great saving effected by it, and as (thestinionial
of the esteem, in - whicli'lle 'was held. o
In flio 'spring of 1827, Mr. Guilford was cm.
played by the Board of Canid Commissioners of
Pennsylvania, and as ono of the principal. Engl.
neer, of the State, located and. constructed .the
Susquehanna Division of the State Canal. As an
instance (Whin' skill and the Proficiency lie had
attained in that important branch of scientific
knowledge. we will lu7-ve-outultiiin-thatlre--eol
minced his survey on the 31st of May, I 827,:and
surveyed nod located n Hite of canal ou both sides
of the Susquehanna river, froth Clark's terry to
.Northilinherhind, a distance of 79 miles, and fur
nished a limp nod report, with detailed and spec-
Hied items of hissurycy to the board on the 261.1.1
day of June of the same year,
or in tiventy.senest
days f no. amount of labor, both physical and,
mental, which no man of ordinary intellect, nr
unless poostssing the most intimate knowledge of
his profession, could accomplish. Ho remained
upon that division of improvements until tt teas
nearly finished, - when he-left the service of the
State to enter into the iron iIII6IICRP, in which lie
has - silice - been 'engaged. - When abOut to retire
from. the employ of the -State, the citizens and
contra Mots on that line 'of the canal, presented
him with a pair abandon= Silver Pitchers, "as
e token of respect they entertained for iris
Haan engineer, and his deportment ae a gen
tlemen."
Since first employed (in the Union Qunnl.(now:
twenty years) he has resided in Lebanon county.
The Mocotneo Nominations.
JAMES cr.muc of Indiana, JESSE MILLER
of Perry, and %VIVI. B. FOSTER., jr., of_ tlle.
ghcny, are the Locofoco .candidates for Canal
Commissioners. This is a ticket, says the liar.
risburg Intellitgencer, composed of ultra party
men, the two first of whom are well known ms
most violent partizans, who have been noted for
a blind adherence'to party, and their willingness
to go all lengths to carry a party object, and
make every thing subservient to that abject.—
The great interests of the Commonwealth have
always been with them a secondary consideration.
JAAIES CLARK is Well known to the people of the
' State a% a Canal Commissioner under Gov. Wolf'
and as the President of the first Board of Coin.
mierrioners under Coy. Porter. Jesse MILLER
was formerly a Senator from Perry, and subse
quently 4th Auditor in the Treasury Department
ut ltiasbington under the adminhitration of Mar
tin Van Duren. Ile has been noted fur nothing
but his ultra party feelings. Ma. FOSTER is a
gentleman of respectable abilities as an Engineer,
having been sonic time in the employment of the
State in that capacity. Ho is not much known
in the political world, but wo learn is a devoted
Locofoco, and in party matters will always be
found ready to go as fur as the farthest. •
The first year of Gov. Porter's administration,
with Jas Cmtnic as the President of the Canal
Board, the expenditures on the finished lines of
the Public Works exceeded the revenue $360,-;
59s Os: year before,' under Gov.
Rilner'eadminiitratlon, the Impro;ements yield.
cd a revenue to the State, over and above all ex.
pendiEuree,or $3541 5 150 17. Facts like these
need no comment. They slum' Mr. Clark to
have been either incompetent or dishoneet. in the
discharge of his duties ati a Canal Commissioner.
If the people of. Pennsylvania wish ticontinue
this state of things, they will vote for Clark and
his Locofoco colleagues.. If they wish a change
—if they wish the Public Works to be plieed un.
der the managdment of new men—honest, faithful
and capable—they will vote for the , Democratic
Whig Candidates. • .

50 - The Philadelphia Forum tells the following
amusing incident which took Once io the -Ilitto
foco Convention, on the sth instant, tiy Which'hlr.
Foster, of Allegheny, was suddenly Made a resi.
dent'of Britdford county ! Mesmeriarn never per
formethitieli an astonishing miracle! We bare
heard, 'says the Forum, of the ten leagued boots
ofJack the Giant Killer, of Northern men with
Southrcn 'rind do and of John C. 4 • 9.
political sontersets, but we never could conceive
°fetich a perfect change,•annihilating both time
and distance, as was exhibited by the locos lathe
Canal Convention on Tuesday. After,.slr.ellirk
- and Jesse Miller had iteen_nominated„ the groat
struggleto diohc ofF the- Cameron influence
suite() in the choice of Mr: Foster of4Beglicay.
Thus all three Members were from tho 1,17c0c of
Sthquehanna, the . claims of the NOrth
s having
becn - enfireljy thrust aside,• • Mr. Foster of All'
eeny, was announced as elected, but come time
after there - appeared an extra containing the of
ficio.) proceedings, in which he was designated as
Mr. Foster of Bradford ! • •
This was speed jndeed—for Mr. Foster was a
resident of Pittsburgh at 5 o'clock, P. M., but be.
fore dark he had travelled some - 250 miles to
Bradford county, where he had not been before,
even on a visit, for eighteen months—had taken
bag and baggage, .pied his tent and became a
regular bona fide resident of 13;kford county—all
for the sake of having a nomination "hail" from
the North for 4110 of the Canal Board candidates.
And they; hope to gull yie people' by this trick
—the Western Loeofocos; who for .years have
subsisted on tlw plunder of our public works,
hope to have all three Commissioners in their ni•
terest, that they may go on robbing the State and
the tax payers yet a little longer.
Pennsylvanisns !. look to this shallow artifice!
Look that you perpetuate not, the plunder system
by' casting your votes for these 111C11.
