WILLIAM BIGLER, of Clearfield THE GUBERNATORIAL CANVASS It affords us groat pleasure to be able to as sure our readers, says the North American, that the intelligence from all parts of 'the in terior of the State is encouraging, for the re-E -LECTION OP GOVERNOR J"OIINSTON. A steady and persevering effort in this city and county'on the part of Ma, who have felt the 'beneficial influence of the present adatinistra ' tion—and who has not?—will secure a good and successful governmOnt for three years more; and the solid establishment of that wise system of public policy devised by Goy. John ston, for proserVing State credit, reducing the public debt, and-placing Pennsylvania in the high and' proud position which she deserves to occupy among the Statesof our. glorious U nion. The people are beginning to discover the full extent of the fraud which the Opposition aro now attempting to practice by means of a corrupt coalition, 'and they are determined to punish it by such nu expression at the ballot box as will effectually crush all stich schemes 'hereafter. The dotihle-faCed positiort which Col; Bigler has taken for himself, has dissatis fied many of his political fricads,• and excited 'a feeling of distrust which must lose him then.- sands of votes;- while the part which Mr. Wil 'mot is playing in this office-seeking drama, has invoked deep indignation on all sides. We expect large results trona these causes, and from other and proper considerations which are operating to produce alarm among the sub stantial interests of the State, by, the contin gency that the debt creating party may Ink re stored to power, and with it may come a re turn of that reckless policy by which prosper ity. was sacrificed and_publio faith,prostrated during their former tenure of office. OUR JUDICIAL 'CANDIDATES Our ticket for Judges.of the Supreme Court, says the Lancaster Union, is a noble one. In point of legal learning, professional -replan- Con, and high character, it cannot be excelled. It isra mighty ticket, and "can't be beat"— Wm.-11.1. Meredith haa - stood'in the front rank of hja profession for many years, is as ablo lawyer as there IX in the State, and, as Gene ral Taylor's Secretary of the Treaeury,, acqui rod a national reputation as a Statesman.— Richard Coulter and George ,Chambers, are now Judges of the Supreme Court, were emi nent at the bar, and as Judges enjoy the en tire respect and confidence of the legal profes sion of the people. Judge Coulter is a favo rite in the Wctt, and will add. to the entire Whig vote, thousands of "Democratic" votes besides, Judge Chambers is also a very pop ular 'rum/ at. home. Joshua W. Comly, of Montour, is one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and a man of the highest character in every respect. At home (Danville) and in the Northern portion of the State,'his popularity is unbounded; and ho will carry everything before him. The slime may be said of Judie Jessup, our other candidate, and who Was ap , pointed by Gov. Jolaston, Prosidont Ju . dge of the Susquehannix district. Ito resides in Mon , trove, in said county. Ile is an able jurist and a gentleman of the highest character and standing. He will receive a tremendous vote, , in the Northern counties. - I RITTER AND ARNOLD The Volunteer copies'vritligroat satisfaction the recanting latter of those worthies and "hopes and believes Mr. Watts had no know ledge of this triekwy and fraud." No, sir, Judgo Watts will clptifloy neither trickery or fraud• to secure any station—nor has . thero re ally been in our opinion any trickery or fraud practised, except by Arnold and Ritter them selves, as their letter clearly shows. The first letter they signed (for of course they wrote neither) expressed their honest - convictionsne doubt. The second letter only showid w bat poor oat's-paws tricky politicians could make of them. .Our neighbor of the' Democrat gives their latter with the following comment: 'I - "As we consented to 'give 'Messrs: Arnold and Ritter a hearing through our column's in the first place, we shall not deny them now when they choose to, &awl out of their •posi- - tion. We trust, however, that this will be the last we shall hoar of them.

The York Republican gives the following quite satisfactory explanation of a matter which the LoOnfocojournals have been making a groat ado about. Ifs easily aeon from - this explanation why Gov. Johnston is not a saffi_ aiently national Whig for the "Spectator." The Republican remarks— - Tha-The political faux pas of the Hanover Speetaloi• hag been a perfect God-send to thO Locofodos. " Solitary and alone" with supe rior wisdom, - d - onficientiousn,ess and perspicuity to all other Whig journals in the State, the Spectator hes discovered it to be its duty to oppose there-election of Gov. Johnston; and to support the election of Judge Lewis to the Supreme Court: The lighting of "a - -cluck upon a Juno bug" is nothing in comparison to the avidity with which the Looofocon have seized ,upon this not and declaration of the Spectator. They have . prAdaimed it abroad in their col limns, and Using the only, thing of 'the hind they have triode the most of it. The Spectator has " wok&up and found itself famous," like Lord Byron ; and its name is now known, and its influence as a easeisicat and, decided Whig paper sprend abroad in quarters4hcro before its existence hid never been heard -oT, and where its importance is now greatly magnified over what it over was at home.

Let the people further remember, 'that whilst the Far mers of the State have paid less, a tax has boon received from other Bootlace more able to bear it than Real Estate,' by whieh'and certain other resources of the State, more than HALF A MILLION of the State debt has been paid, the Maned Plano at Philadelphia avoided, and thrNorth Branch canal nearly comple ted I The man who has done this, tha LoOofocoe now call upon•the people to remove.

North Hanover Street, mid .of course made "a scatterniont" among the inhabitants. The Trightened women and children'speedily sought shelter through , the nearest'open doors of dwellings, while three out of every five men hastened into the middle of the 'street hallooing and - throiiring up -their— hands in a vain attempt to cheek the speed of the horses. Now •Inirses that are running off have generally sense enough to keep in -the middletif the street and to all appearance are . delighted' if they,ean only have a clear track. The question we wish to ask, therefore, is, whether it is the Lest course for men at • every twenty yards along the street, to rush out in this wity,'olien the great probability is tlint instead of being able to stop the horse, they are more likely to turn him (and -against hie will too) on to the sidewalks, where he may knock down and possibly kill females and chil dren'who have not been able .to.get out of the ways We know the motive is a good one which induces_ the attempt to stop _the_horse,__ but !night it not really cause greater danger - and more injury thnnif the horse were Per mitted to pass along in his fiery until he finds his:stable door or recovers from his fright?— The question seems to ,us worthy of serious consideration. ,The young Whigs of Dickinson, as will be seen by a call in our advertising columns,' are" in the - field and making arrangements to form a Jonssxon Cann.

This is the co`nsitoney of lo cofocoism.
