The law passed lately by the Legis
lature making the Auditor General, Sur
veyor General and County Surveyors
elective by the people will be found m an
other column. As this is a matter of con
siderable importance to the people the law
may be interesting to our readers.
BPThe election of Delegates to a Coun
ty Convention takes place on Saturday
next, and we trust the people will feel suf
ficiently interested in the matter not to let
it go by default. Let there be a full turn
out, and elect good men who carry out the
whishes of those who sent thra. We
hope to sse every township in the County
fully represented in the Convention.
Godey's Lady's Book for May is al
ready on our table. It is embellished with
a great numher of beautiful engravings, the
most conspicuous of which are a -Gift
from Heaven." and "Playing Mother."
A Fashion Plate also adorns its pages.
The contributors are, as usual, composed
of those American writers most distin
guished for literary merit and ability.
CThe Echo when challenged for proof
oi its charge that theSuperintendent of Por
tage Railroad, had ofTered to act as a sub
stitute for a delegate to the Williamsport
Convention, states that such an offer had
been made to ourself if we consented to
run as a delegate. Now if Mr. Smith
wishes to clear his skirts of having given
publicity to a wilful and malicious false,
hood he must seek some other way of ef.
fecting that object than the one he has
adopted. A3 to the charge of Mr. Camp
1. - hi .
ueunavingever made us such an offer, we
beg leave to inform Mr. Smith in the most
polite way imaginable that he lies, and
t. . i-
nidi we nave every reason to believe that
he knew it was a lie at the time he pub
lished it. We speek feelingly and posi
tively on this subject, because we think
t,: ri.-L
uu3 .uisenoou ot a character too malicious
to be permitted to pass without a proper
rebuke, and we dare him to him to brinr
4 m m
lorward the least shadow of proof to sus
tain the charge he has so mendaciously
made. We like to see a man act fairly
and honorfcly in anything he undertakes.
ana we ronica mat we are getting out of
patience with the coL'ree so utterly regard
less of truth, that is pursued by the editor
of the Echo. We have heretofore repeat
edly denied this charge, and we do so
now for the h8t time in language we
think pretty emphatic. If Mr. Smith wish
es to substantiate his charge and retrieve
whatever little character for veracity he
ever did possess, we advise him to furnish
ths public with some 4 proof of his state-mente.
Our remarks a few weeks since rel
ative to ihe course pursued by the Johns
town Echo anil those who control Lit, ap.
pears to have kicked up an awful distur
bance in the disorganizes' camp. In the
last number of that detectable sheet, they

Knew the truth would not be very accept
able to them, we were not disappointed in
the least in finding ourselves replied to in
the shape of two or three columns of bil
lingsgate devoted to our especial benefit.
We care nothing about it however, and
they need not therefore flatter themselves
with hope that they will by this means
draw us into a war of words with them,
and thereby lose sight of the more impor
tant issues now before the people. We
do not think that Mr. Smiih or the political
eunich writes for him are of sufficient im -
portance to warrant us in keeping them be-1 more than he did. His praiseworthy

bound to do whenever we may think the
interests of the party require it. Farther
than this we do not intend to go, as our
columns can be much more profitably em
ployed- We are conscious of the recti
tude of our our own course, and therefore
feel confident that anything that may ap
pear in the columns of the Echo can do us
no personal injurv. We have never vo-

and yielding a hearty support to democrat-

Clerk of Itc Hodm of RrprtDtaliTfi.
Our readers will perceive, (says the
Washington Union,) from our report of
the proceedings of the House of Repre
sentatives, that the Hon. R. M. Young,
of Illinois, late Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, was on yesterday, elect
ed Clerk, in the place of Thomas J.
Campbell, deceased. We apprehended
that the scenes of the early part of the
session woula be repeated in choosing
Mr. Campbell s successor; and we are
happy to be disappointed, not only be
cause of the public business, but because
a worthy man lias been placed in an ele
vated and responsible nost. Yet. this
j - -
election gives us a still higher satisfaction.
Judge Young was elected by a union of
the votes of those who adhere to the dem
ocratic faith; which we trust is a harbin
ger that the bitter feelings which the sla
very agitation has occasioned are at last
giving way to calmr council. Mr. Young
is a man of high character, of fine judg
ment, and superior accomplihments. He
is a sound democrat. We congratulate
the country on the election of this admi
rable officer.
.i preposterous Story An anony
mous corespondent from the Boston Her
ald states that the money with which Dr.
Webster paid lr. Parkinan was a collec

ster saved from money sent hr by her
friends at Fayal. Now that Mrs. "Web
ster had this money and did not come
forward to testify to the fact, 13 prepos
terous I o admit tts truth is to urove thai
Dr. Webster is guilty of fa !se hood, as he
claimed, after conviction, to have himsef
saved the mount iu small sums, unknown
to all others. But if the statement in th-
Boston Herald is true, let Mrs Webster
make an affidavit of the fact, and it i.
most pr table a new trial will instantly
be granted to her husband, followed by
an acquittal.

,ja,t week opened out gloriously by
.etl 1,1 on Thursday morning.
1 ne,r was a tTootl deal of fluttering
among t,ie wounded pidgeons of the whig
Party when it was certainly ascertained
tnat tne Governor would veto the appor-
tionment bill, because it was evident, that
if he did veto the bill, that he would have
to take back all his bitter denunciations
of his predecessors, who had occasion to
resort to the exercise of the veto power
in order to check what they thought ought
not nass to into w
I do not find fault
who in the faithful
with any Executive,
tion; but Governor Johnston has shown
his cloven foot so conspicuously in his
veto messages, (for they are two in num
ber.) that to forbear comment, would be
to shut one's eyes to facts in the life of a
public man, which should not be lost sight
of. The Governor sets out in his veto
message on the apportionment bill, by
stating how exceedingly disagreeable it is
to his sensative mind, to interpose his
veto on the occasion. But believing the
bill to be unconstitutional and subversive
of the rights of the people, &c, tc, he
has thrown himself into the breach, to
stay the tide of destructive legislation,
which the legislature has let loose upon
an unoffending innocent people. Well
be it so. We are willing to give him the
benefit of all he has said on the subject of
the apportionment bill; that is, we are
willing to believe that he was sincere,
when he said so in reference to this bill.
But what will the people say? or rather,
what will his Excellency say to the peo
ple? who have been duped by the Gov'r
and his party, when we tell them that
this same immaculate, patriotic, anti veto
ing Executive, did, within a day or two
after his first velo, which he bases upon!
Constitutional grounds alone, vetoed an
other bill which passed the Legislature,
to which no Constitutional objection could
be urged! I refer to the Philadelphia
license bill.
This latter bill which passed the Legis
lature last winter, granted to all persons
residing in the county of Philadelphia,
and who had a house suitable for the ac
commodation of strangers and travellers,
to obtain a license to sell spirituous li
quors, by less measure than one quart.
The consequence was. that nearly every
other house in the city and its suburbs,
has got to vending rum, to the detriment
of the morals of the community, and
threatning ruin and destruction to society
it large. But the Governor iu his great
mxiety to "whip the devil round the
stump," a game, by the by, he has al
ways played successfully till now, has
overreached himself. The lion's skin
has proved too short to cover the animals
ears, and consequently the genius of the
creature has been exposed.
The plain truth about all this twitching
of conscience this great regard for the
Constitution and the rights of the people,
which his excellency affects to manifest
in his exordium to this delectable veto
message on the apportionment bill is, thai
Re knows full well, that unless the ores-
Vim fii, M'a jiw.r ,-.-
the Representatives throughout the State,
it cannot be done by a subsequent Legis -
Iature, and consequently, the present law!
I I
will remain as it is for the coming seven
years; and that that law, suits the Gover
nor and hi3 party much better, than any
one a Democratic Legislature would pass.
This is the secret of his reverence for the
Constitution, and his love for the rights
of the people, notwithstanding all the ver
bose parade and fanfaronade which his
Excellency has exhibited in his veto ines-
sage on the apportionment bill.
i
But to show the hollowness of the
Governor's position still further, let us
advert for a moment to one of the reasons
which he ei'es for his veto in the case of
the Philadelphia license bill. The Gov
ernor says, that one reason is that, inas
much as the Constitution has been, or
will be amended, and the judges will then
be elected by the people, it would be giv
ing too much power to the judges, if the
jurisdiction should be given to the courts,
which would be the case if ihe law is re
pealed. Now if this is not going it with
a vengeance on part of ihe Governor, I
do not know what is. But the Governor
is a very shrewd man a wily political
juggler and in the case of the Philadel
phia license bill, he thinks he has made a
point, and gained popularity with the rab
ble and the rumsellers of Philadelphia
city and county, and hence his veto of the
license bill.
But I have no room in the compass of
a letter, to dwell upon the conduct of
Governor Wm. F. Johnston in reference
to these two beautiful veto messages,
which now stand side by side upon the
records of the Legislature. His whole
life has been a tissue of trickery, insince
rity and deception; and therefore, it is not
to be wondered at now, that his act as
Governor of to-day, should give the lie
uirect to nis act oi yesteruav. ii is tne
nature of the man, and if he did any
else, it would be unnatural.
'ung
There is hardly anything being done
by the Legislature except the considera
tion and disposal of special acts. The
Bank bill has finally passed, but in what
precise shape I am at a loss to say, inas
much as it is not yet printed as it finally
passed.
By the by, the people ought to set
about getting up petitions for next winter.
asking the Legislature to pass a general
banking law, whereby every man who
has capital might go into the business of
banking as men go into any other branch
of trade. 1 see no reason why men should
be excluded from employing their means
in whatever way their judgments might
dictate. By the passage of a free bank
ing law, special piivileges would be done
away with, and then one man would have
as good a chance to make money out of
his money as an other. The day is not
far distant ;yhen a free banking law will
be iu full force in Pennsylvania. The
people are becoming more and more alive
to their own interests no! to see that such
a law must be beneficial in this State,
as it has proven itself to be i:i New York.
We are still in doubt about the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. No time has as
yet ben agreed upon by a joint vote of
both branches, which will be necessary
before an adjournment can take place.
The apportionment bill and the appropri
ation bill must both be passed, before the
members can think of leaving. The di
vorce cases are now finally disposed of,
and I hope the business of the public will
be attended to.
Ou Monday last the House passed the
Forrest divorce bill by a close vote, the
same bill which had been defeated by the
Senate a week or two ago. An aitempt
was also made to pass ihe bill to divorce
Dr. William Wetherell from his wife.
This infamous bill was defeated by a de
cided majority, and thus a rebuke was
administered to Dr. Wetherell which he
so richly deserved.
The Forrest case was disposed of fi
nally 1 hope to-day in the Senate. It was
defeated by a vote of 18 to fifteen. In
both those cases the Senate has acted no
bly. What expedient or expedients were
resorted to by Mr. Forrest and his friends
to procure the passage of the bill in the
H. R. I am not prepared to say. Wheth
er wine, champaign or oysters, or all of
those I will not determine, but will leave
this part of the mystery to be solved by
those who are more curious than I am in
regard to such matters. Certain it is, that
no arguments however specious or inspir
itingt could induce the Senate of Penn-
sylvania to do that which ws wrong in
the premises.
To those Senators, who opposed the
passage of this bill, the country owe a
debt of gratitude, a deb.
t!;at will b dis-
charged one day or other. I wish I could
include vour Senator m the category of
J
'.those who opposed this case, but of course
Mr. Drum saw ttie case in a iitlerent
light from that which I see it, and acted
. V 111
1 accordingly, l wouia oe lar irom imputing
to him any bad or unworthy motives in
his advocacy of the Forrest case, or in-
deed in any case, because I know him to
be above that which is mean or merce
nary.
Wednesday, April 17, 1850.
This morning the indefatigable and tal
ented Judrc Porter made a report to the
House, in answer to Governor Johnston's"
veto message of the apportionment bill,
in which report, the Judge has tefuted
with the power of a master mind the po
sitions assumed by the Governor. The
Constitutional arguments are all met and
ably refuted, and the positions of unfair
ness of which the Governor complains,!
are shown by the report to be mere chi -
....
rueras of a morbid
imagination.
without
either facts or reason to sustain them. In
a word, the Governor is "a used up man,'
as the whigs used to sing ahout Van Bu
ren in 1810. The rebuke which the
Judge has administered to ihe Governor
is truly terrible. The position of the lat-
Iter is not only laughable, but pitiable.-
The Democracy
owe
Judge
T a
Porter an,
eternal debt of gratitude
for
this report,
which comes at a time when
such an ex -
posure was necessary, and when such
chastisement as the Governor has re
ceived at the hand of the Judge was
called for on part of some member of the
Democratic party. The Governor's mes
sage accompanied by the Judge's reply
will be printed for distribution, which I
hope every democratic paper in the Com
monwealth will publish, so that the people
may see and know the ridiculous attitude
his Excellency occupies in reference to
the apportionment bill, which he has ve
toed with such a flourish of trumpets.
The House to day are engaged in the
consideration of another apportionment
bill, the details of which 1 am not yet in
formed of. But ihis much I know, that
the Senatorial district is the same as in
the former bill, in which Cambria county
feels an interest, that is Cambria, Clear
field, Centre and Blair,
Th school law, like the old militia law,
has to be patched up -every winter, and
according to rule, the law ltas been altered
but I fear not amended this winter. I
have not had time to examine the bill suf-
ficiently, to judge fairly of the character of
the alterations; but if I am correctly in
formed as to one of the alterations, I am
convinced that it requires but one other
such amendment, to annihilate the com
mon School system altogether. It is thisf
that the question shall he decided by the
people in any district in the Slate, at the! which the majority of the Assembly sup
spring election, whether the system shall 'Port ieni'
be continued or not. The law as it stood !.,.. r J.V"' . m.i.
