THE WHIG IiCONFIATION
By the proceedings of the Whig Convention
to-day's paper, it will be seen that' Dr.
THOMAS L. CATHCART, of Allen township,
has received the nomination fo? Assembly, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death : , of
Henry Church, Esq. This is in all respects an
excellent nomination, and we cordially endorge
it. It will we are confident meet the hearty
acquiescence of the Whigs of the county. Dr.
Cathcart is exentleman of fate talents, good
education and estimable character, Although
a professional man, he lives in ono of the most
flourishing agricultural districts in the county,/
and no man better understands or more warm
ly sympathizes with the interests of the Ftir
mer. He is widely known and universally pop
ular, and with him as a candidate' the Whigs
can go into the contest with , every prospect'of
success. An old and true Whig, his political
brethren owe it to bins to rally to his support
with enthusiasm and energy.
The Whigs of the borough presented a can
didate for nominatioiiin the person of one of
their most active, popular and spirited young
Whigs, and in common with his numerous
friends we shOuld have been exceedingly rejoi
ced had he received the nomination. But the
Convention having conceded the nomination to
the lower end of the county, and recognizing
in the nuin of theft Choice a gentleman and
'Whig of the right stamp, we know we but
speak the sentiment of every Whig in the bo
rough when we say that our preference is
freely yielded, and that the candidate of the
Convention shall receive the undivided_ vote
of the Whigs of the Carlisle district.
Acting in, this spirit we trust that the whigs
of the borough will come manfully up to their
duty in the coming . election, and give their
candidate-such-a vote as • will- redeem .their
character from all reproach. Let it not •be
said that the Whigs of Carlisle are indifferent
of lukewaTni in the advocacy of our glorious
cause. Let our opponents no 'longer boast
that they .are gradually .breaking down the old
Whig majority of our borough, but let us ral
ly to the polls with the spirit of old devotion
to the cause and as enthusiastically as if our
own favorite were the candidate. Let every
Man do his daty andtheresultwillbe satisfac- •
tory for the.present and the future.
THE 11. S.-BENATOR.

Senator from Pennsylvania, for the term of

,The annual message of Johnston, which
we, furnished to' our readerit week in an

generally_ read by them, Is universally-praised.
It is, a complete review of_the affair' s'of State,
and: fin clear;
•
Folia r :and concise manner, such as 'every man
in the Commonwealth can hilly comprehend.
The, people like - such documents. There is no
rhetoriciallustian - or bombastic eloquence, in.
Gov. Johnston's State papers. . As, a practical
ho only aims at presenting the true state ,
of affairs in clear and plain terms: Ilb; words
are fitly chosen to elucidate his subject, and
when the subject grows in importance las lan
guage rises and glows with the` gent:rine spirit
of eloquence ; as in his references to the posi

Although the message in ftill bits been placed
ME
,before our renders, a 'synopsis of its contents
may nevertheless be )Iteeptable, and we sub
join a brief and hasty review. Opening with
a renewal of expressions of gratitude to the
Almighty' gather, for his protecting influence
during the past - year, the Governor next refers
:with suitable•expressions of regret to the death
of President TAYLOR, and pays a well deserved
tribute to the virtue and patriotismof Mitxduto
FILLMORE,' his successor. 'To Carry into effect
the elepressed popular will on an Elective Ju
diciary, he recommends the necessary legisla
tion, and suggests the present as a favorable
opportunity to remodel' nd greatly lessen, the
number of Judicial Districts, and increase the
salaries of Judges to a fair remuneration. •
Ho thinks the spring and fall elections mi;ght
advantageously be merged into one. He rec

early attention, should thd census returns be
transmitted in time. He renews the hope that
the - geological specimens belonging to the
State, may brphicod in sonic convenient spot
for A geneml inspection. We are gratified at the
at the Governor's warm 'recommendation for
the preservation of the original papers in the
State Department, connected with our colonial
and revolutionary history. These should be
arranged for publication by a competent per
son. The buildings of the Insane -Hospital
will lie ready for patients early in the wirig.
A revision of the laws in relation to taverns,
beer-hduses and ten-pin alleys, they being now
the common reSorts of illie,young, is. also• mac-
ommended, and an equalization of tax laws a
gain urged, upon the Legislature.
The finances of the Commonwealth are as
follows:—Amount of debt due on the 30th No-
vember last , s4o,V7s,4Bs;.„stocks_and'cash is
- hands of Comidissieners of Sinking Fend,
$465,090; interest saved of special bian in the
discontinuance of Plane, $400,000, which de
ducted, leaves $39,910,394, .a decrease of pub
lic debt since 1848. of $538,203, About $461,-
945 were extraordinary expenses, to avoid the
Inclined Plane and to complete the North
Bra Canal. These completed, nearly one
million dollars may be appropriated wommily
to the reduction Of the public debt The re
cepts,of.-9.m:tra-alMtTlast year were $4,438,-
131, being less than the estimatessl2B,l'o7. 7
The estimated expenditures were $4,034,000;
actual payMcais, $4,553,198. The estimates
for 1851 are--receipts, $1,296,000; payments,
$4,101,300.
He recommends earnest efforts for the Ulti
mate success of our school system, and the
placing of our railroads and canals in full re
pair
for competition in trade and traveL lfc
the peeieeLef dividing qtgto into
Canal and Railway districts, assigning the en
tire control of each to ,a Canal'Comniia4oner.
He thinks it the duty of Pennsylvania to de
mand from the General Goveinment some pot ,
tian of its resources for the security and im
provement of the harbors of the Delawsi.e.- A
system of Banking, based upon State Stocks,
is recommended,- as he -considers any-conside
rable extension of the present system tuidcsi
rabic, if, a more permanent tmcis for such op
erations can be devised.
Upon subjects of national importance the
message touches briefly. The Governor attrih
utes the failure of the late effort to amend the
present taniff, to the omission of the last Leg
islature to give expresai6ns to the well under
stood Wishes and expectations of the people on
the subject, and trusts the omission will not
again occur, Ile hopes for a reduction of
postage, and a railway communication to the
Pacific. -•
The
, position of Gov. Jeuxrrox' upon the
subject of 'Slavery is worthy the attention of
every Pennsylvanian—he fully recognizes the
doctrine .of nen-interference, and thinks no
legislation on the part of the State is expedi
ent to aid the execution of the powers of the
General anyeSnment, as it would &ref an ad
mission that the National Government was un
able to execute its powers. The reasoning of
the Governor upon this subject;cannothe com
pressed, and must be read in full to be under
stood. The 'peroration of ' the message upon
the Union of the Status, .and its value, rust
,receive the warmest, commendations froln eve-
ry patriotic heart. It pays a high and slescr
rod compliment to the fidelity of Pennsylvania
to the Constitution, and ddprecate.s and pro
tests againsttim utterance of rash and ill-ad
rifled thoughts" on the, subjects of Secession
and Disunion.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
. .
The Philn:leiithin Sun says of the Message
Of Goy. Johnston:
We think it will require a mind Completely
warped by political prejudiced, to carp or cab
il the tone of this message. We aro proud
of-it, ataennsylvanians, nod proud of it, as
emanating rani on© who had our earnest sup
port for the responsible position he now'•ocen-'
pies. • 'Rid true to the State, and loyal to tlie
Union; soundly "national," and eminently
conservative. We commend it to the people'
of our Commonivealth in full confidence that
our i 'appreeintioa of its merits will meet_ a. re-.
Sponse from every quarter.
The Rizading Journal, an able Whig paper,
thus eulogizes the Message: •
• Gov. Johnston's recent Message, like all his
previous State Papers exhibits the talent and
statesmanship of. a.m:tater -mind. Eloquently
and concisely worded, it treats upon all the
leading topics proper to be 'noted, while its
recommendations are of a character to c.oni
mandlbe attention and approval of •all -who
have the well being end -prOsperity of the
Commonwealth at heart. There is that in the
document which must-convince every candid
reader that the Governor has made -the inte
rests of his constituents and prosperity of . the
Commonwealth; the subjects of his anxious
thought. lie studim to benefit the people—
has their welfare uppermost in his mind, and
•suggests reformS that would possibly occur
to few in a similar position*. Instead of fol
lowing in the footsteps of his , "illustrious (?)
predecessors;" - in defending - himself - ' , his
party from the attacks of the opposition
Instead of endeavoring to ingratiate himself
into popular favor, or striving to advance his
own political aggrandizement, he leaves his arts
to the judgment , of his fellow citizens, while
he makes their interests his chief concern... Such
a man is Gov. Witrakm F. JOHNSTON, and we
repeat that Pennsylvania is most fortunate in
having secured his services. It is only once
in a' quarter of-a century that-one of his cali
bre is el on to administer the government.--
The people, if they are wise, will insist upon
retaining-him in the position he --honors for
another-term,
' The Philadelphia Ledger notices ono of the
recommendations of the Governor in the folio
ing terms of npprovalt ..
The Govornot who appears to bo a practical
mam-more-fond-of-thitigs- than-ambitious-of
words, recommends in his message to the Leg
islature, that an agricultural department be
added to the government of the State, a sug
gestion so self evidently wise. and expedient,
that it must command unanimous approba-,
tion. The old ,Commonwealth, founded by
Wm. Penn, is indebted for its original vigor
end:robust prosperity to agriculture, which is
the fodiudation of all other arts, mechanical
occup4innsimanufacturing.industry, and prci-'.

kind, 1., t sound policy also points to the use
' fubiess 'of exalting this noble pursuit iri the

Ways plougs tho first field, and hence, perhaps,
the pride that designates that country as the
"celestial empire."
BENTON -ON AD VALOBERIS.
In a speech in the Senate, the other day,
___ll4c ; _l3enton; hold the following litnuage in
regard to ad valorem duties. It will be remem
bered that the ad valorem principle of levy
ing duties is the distinguishing feature of the
present tariff. We commend hit' remarks to
the attention of our locofece friends:
I concur with the Secretary (Corwin) in his
premises in tote", and with a part-of his recom
mendations. , S concur with him in his opinion
that importations - will - diminish; carrying with
' it a diminution of revenue from customs; that
the ad valorem sygtem is the parent, of frauds
and ought to be adandoned and recourse again
. had to specific duties ih all cases in which I
they are applicable. 'On this point I have
nothing to confess gained from experience: I
need no experience to inform me that univerz
sal ad valorems were the most unequal of
ties, and the most fruitful of frauds. I knew

AN Au VALOREM TARIFF.—One of the beau
ties of the system upon which the present Ta
riff is framed, is that just as the price of an
article falls, and the manunicturer thereof be
gins to suffer, the duty upon it also falls, and
mcreasedimportation, white!' makes
sure work of the manufacturer. • Again, as
the price rises, and,the consumer should have
the utmost advantage of competition between
the domestic and foreigu's - producer, up goes
the duty, following the value, till it becomes
absolutelY prohibitory:" It vvoigd be difficult
to conceive a clumsier contrivance in states
manship than tha ad valorem system - .. . '
