CIV46; 185
Gov. Johnston is an open-hearted, high
minded Statesman, distinguished no leas for
his ability as a legislator . than his eloquence
es a speaker. His speeches in 1848 were
mainly :directed, as every ono knoWs who
heard him, to an exposition' of the loading
questions which entered into the National and,
State Canvass of that year. Agiinst the 4 !one
man pewee!' at Washington ho' forcibly, spire,
and as we remarked before, his own conduct
since as Governor has not violated irony res
pect the prineiples he promulgated from the
stntap. - Thetariff question and the slavery
question were also freely and fully argued in
he Governors speeches, and the glorious char
acter and career of Gen. Taylor, our lament
ed candidate for the - Presidency, eloquently
dwelt upcMl, But Gov, Johnston did not beg
-rotes ;by. any shallow electioneering
Neither he nor Gen; Taylor secured votes by
dint of pledges.. Gov. Johnston tame. before
the people in the fearlessness of honesty. He ,
1 had nothing to conceal, but With A's:nerdy
I frankness he presented fully and- clearly his
views of National' and State policy. 'lf the
people aPprOved his views he asked them to
vote for him as the instrument of carrying
them into 'effect. ' If they did not approve he
did not solicit their. suffrages. He made no
hypocritical professions, nor exorcised-the arts
tof the demagogue. He -slid not base his claims
to election on any other groundthan the public
welfare as promoted by the suoceseMidearrying
out of Whig . prinoiples and measures. Equally'
absurd is it to believe that Gov. Johnston in-.
"diiiged of 13Fov„ Bitunk)ii - use
of 'the pardoning power, and pledged -himself
never to exercise that power.: The exercise of
the pardoning power may become underlcer,
tally criedlestances entirely • eensistent 7- With
:law, Akio° and the pliblio'good, and Governor
:JelinSion would hardly have tied his hands a-
gainst such use of it.
It is worthy of remark and vre ptdi_par-.
tioular attentionto the fact thatuur opponents
can bring forward no, sound objections :to the
re-blectionof.Gev. - Johnston. Party feeling
prevents thorn. front approyhtg, but with
...their bitterness of opposition, there Is noth
ing in the policy or course "of Gov. Johnston's
.administration against whioh they utter
o'ne:word of diaapprobation. Gov. Johnston has
ocoupied the Executive chair of Eenneylvania
for. 'almotit three years past, discharging every
.
duty with a high ability , and earnest devotion
to the State which inspires universal Pend-i
dense. As a Chief Magistrate-he' is. distin
guished for his personal dignity and truly
Ipublican habits and character. He has ever
!been frank, free and open id his intercourse
hvith the people. His publio policy is rapidly
advancing Pennsylvania in her career of pros

The election was not very warmly contested,'
and'pessed off quietly. This being ilk, yeAr•
when five of the nine merabers of the Council
are 'elected by the Bast Ward, that party has
consequently secured the .. ascendancy in thS
Council. - Of the other officers the Whigs have
' elected the Chief Burgess by a big majority,
and Locos the three others - by variousma
jorilies: In the West Ward the Whigs polled
but little more than half their 'Vote. In the
East Ward one of the Whig candidates for
Council made's' handsome run above the vote
of his party but failed, of election by twenty.
votes.

'the 'Whigs elected their s troketa by handsome

Whigs lave just declared for den. Scott in an

them in the township election! In Dickinson,
as we learn, a 'vigorous attempt was.made by
the young Deinoeracy to put down the Old
Hunker ticket which is alwayS cut and dried
for that township by their old dictator, CoL S.
Woodburn. Tho young Democracy only failed
in some of their candidates by three votes : ,
short of a majority! In South Middleton the
Locos succeeded by about twentpsix majority._
