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. As they have tho't
proper to deny having written the first letter,
we hope none will bo so, uncharitable De to sc
ones them of a similar folly' in the present in
stance. Such intellects deserves our commis
eration more than they should excite our
laughter. Rue is the letter—it beats Cousin

THE THING EXPLAINED.
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. There is no
mystery about its course. The chief contrac
tor on the Hanover Branch Railroad iv a loco

party; he ban been intimate with Ste editor
of the Spectator, and has done him--anin.ipor
tont favor, and it is not suprieing that the ef
fect of that intimacy and favor should beshown
in the coldmns of that paper. As for the Lew
is demonstration, the Judge has a nephew and
namesake—a member Of - his - ' - own party—hi
the,employment of the dontractor, who is also
his intimate personal friend; and that accounts
for the " milk in the docent nut." Nepotism
and Loeofocoism have done the deed which
causes the opposition ao much joy; the- true
Whigs of Hanover will show by their votes
with how much reason.

WHAT HAS GOV. JOHNSTON DONE ?
The Opposition, says the Daily American,
boastfully ask this question. , .We will answer .
that among other things. During Gov. John

ALLY, SIXTY-EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS
LESS , frOm the Real E4tato of the Comnion
wealth, than was'eolleoted undeV Gov. Shtirik's

Skunk's collections from this source, being
$1,373,583 85, and the annual average of GeV.
Johnston's, being $1,805,884 08/. 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

GENERAL SCOTT.
The most-barefacied and shameless feature of

It cops the eliniax of political impudence'and

then but little agitated, he had not the moat
distant idea that such things should now be

A Questlanabie Practice.
Lust Saturday evening a fine pair of horses,
with part of a carriage dangling at their heels;
came dnshing furiously down. 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"

and organize the party in every township. A
meeting will shortly be'called in our borough
for the . same purpose, and we (lope ovary bor

morning, after a passage of toss than eleven
days. She brings Liverpool dates t 6 the 23
and 115 pitssengers. Among them T. dunning:-
ham, bearer of &matches.
As the Atlantic came up the harbor, she was
greeted•with ono hundred guna from the bat
tern but the early hour of 'her arrival preven
ted any other demonstrations of rejoicing.
The news is of little importance further than
the defeat of the proposed amendment of—tire
French Constitution, so far as relates to the
extension of the right of suffrage. The mar
kets for American breadstuffs was down; and
British manufactures flourishing.
MERCER COUNiY.-A mass Convention of the

which is the Locofoco organ in the county, has.
endeavored to prejudice the' anti slavery niCn
of that region.against the Whig ticket, by de,
Oaring that the resolutions adopted by the
Lancaster Whig State Convention, would
" purge the Whig party of over taint hf
litionism." ,At tho same time the Pennsylva
nian is denouncing the Whig , platform as that
of abolitionism. This is the co`nsitoney of lo
