! been going on between the Whigs and Natives in
,' regard to their judicial nominations for this city
and county ; and it has finally assumed an aspect
t calculated to arouse the indignation of every
I hone-t man. ' First, we have the deliberate vio
lation of his word and honor and his written
I pledge by Judge Kelly, and the acceptance of
mm oy ue wnigs and Natives, under the aus
pices of W. li. Heed, w ho holds his office as Dis
trict Attorney by virtue of a decision to which
Kelly was a party. By dint of hard work the
leaders of the two parties agreed upon the ame
ticket for one Court, and upon two candidates
for Judges of the other remaining at is?ue with
re.-pect to the third. The Natives now insist that
the third thall be given to them : and Thajor.
who i the Whig nominee, must be induced to
back out, and let Mr. Allison, the Native nomi
nee, have his place so fhat the odious bareain
1 may be iuite complete. The last hair will break
; the camel's back, and this new proposal to de
: grade the Whig Thayer, and to elevate the Na-
tiviat Allison upon his shoulders, has caused the
j independent men of the Whig partv to rebel.
; Such Whigs as Gibbons, Williams and Uazlehurst,
1 may stand, and have stood a good deal at the
J hands of Keed and Johnston; but they refuse the
i la:-1 dose. And why? Because they know that
( the consideration in this whole bargain is that
. iut in c ur ruau oe given 10 me Aooiiuoniai t
Johnston, and the whig vote to the Native can
didate for Judge ! So that the Judiciary is to be
used as a means to help to re-elect to the Gu- j
beruatorial chair a man who is denounced by j
patriotic citizens all over the country, and whose I
election would be a blow at our bet interests, J
euch as it would require years to recover from ! !
The chief plotter in this most shameful transac- !
tion is universally believed to be YV. B. Heed, of
United States Bank, Buckshot War, and Lehigh-do-better
memory one of the same l'ECKS.virrs
w ho have Ueu ;-o loul in denunciation of imagi
nary corruptions in the Democratic nominations.
We hear it stated that Mr. Thayer, the Whig
nwuiincc, who is sought to be made use of by
this reckless partizao, refuses to ratify the bar
gain, and threatens an exposure of "the whole
plot. .
Look at this, Democrats ! you who have been
called upon to vote against your judicial nomi
nations and remember that those who do this
axe now trying to humiliate and disgrace the
Judiciary by making it a mere footstool for an
Abolitionist to attain the highest power in the
State.
THE PBOOF MANLY LETTER FROM MB.
THAYER.
Since the above was written, the following
letter has been sent to the Whie Judicial Confer-
nce, in session yesterday afternoon, by M. Rus-
eei tnayer, fcsq. That gentleman, whose high
character, personally and professionally, is every
where admitted, had been previously 'nominated
for Asaociate Judge, by this same "Conference ;
but when it became apparent that the Natives
would not vote for Johnston, for Governor, unless
Allison, their candidate for the same station, was
nominated a result only to be accomplished by
the withdrawal of Mr. Thayer the earne Whig
Conference seut a committee to Mr. Thayer, ask
ing him to decline, in order that Allison might
be put in his place ! To this request Mr. Thay
er returned the following decided and dignified,
yet indignant reply. This masterly letter ex
hibits, on the part of the controllers f the Whig
Conference, a willingness to degrade that party
at the feet of one of the boldest and most dan
gerous demagogues that ever lived. After Mr.
Thayer's letter, declining to withdraw his name,
was received, and some vehement discussion was
had, the Conference proceeded to vote for tht Xatiee
candidate, Allison, and actually nominated him
for the position for which they had before nomi
nated Mr. Thayer! The Conference consisted
of one hundred members; forty of these nomina
ted Allison Air. Thayer's friends declining to
vote and others being absent. The friends of
Thayer intend meeting to take cognizance of thu
disgraceful transaction, we believe, during this
day.
W hat an exhibition this is ! The Judiciary
hawked about, as Mr. Thayer forcibly expresses
it, like a "chattel," in-order to advance the in
terests of a man who is denounced in all quarters
as an enemy of the National Constitution. And
this, too, in a city which boasts of its devotion to
; that Constitution, and which feels a deep interest
in the purity of the Judicial office! -

of the Conference, did, as you remember in the
interview with which you honored me, this mor

alluded to.
I do not stop to inquire into the morality or
propriety of this course of political procedure in
ordinary cases, or whether the proposed arrange
ment would operate in the manner hoped for by
us advocates. But when it is sought to make
the Judicial Office contributory to such a pur
po.se, and to sell it for votes Eke a chattel in the
public market, I cannot hesitate an instant in
the course which I ought to pursue. Personal
considerations can find no place in so grave a
question as this. My duty to the Law, my duty
to the Bench, my duty to the Public, my duty to
myself, alike demand that I should peremptorily
refuse to lend my aid to the consummation of a
measure m degrading to the Judicial Office, and
fraught with such dangerous consequences to the
community. I therefore decline to accede to the
request.

TTI10 was It Restored the Credit or
tbe State? .
The strong card cf Gov. Johnston is tbe sink
ing fond. It is paraded all over the State on
hand-bills, that Gov. Johnston has paid several
hundred thousand dollars of the State debt, and
that, therefore, he ought to be re-elected. If
Gov. Johnston had done this by his own exer
tions, and in contrast with Democratic adminis- ;
trations, he would be entitled to much considera
tion from tbe people. But this sinking fund ex-
citement is a MERE TRICK. The great mass !
are supposed by Gov. Johnston to be lazy and
ignorant. The farthest that tbey will do is to
read a large proclamation, pnnted in large types,
setting forth that Gov. Johnston has paid the
State debt, into the truth or falsehood of which
they will make no inquiry.
. The historv of the matter is, that the State :
became involved in a debt of $40,000,000 1
TBBOrCn THE RECKLESS EXPENDITURES OF Gov.
Ritxer's administration. The treasury was
plundered by a set of unprincipled Whig politi
cians. In eowseqvenee cf the vasteful expenditure cf a
Whig administration, entailed upon succeeding
administrations and posterity, the State became
bankrupt and unable to meet the accruing inter
est on the State debt. The cry of repudiation
was raised, and the credit of Pennsylvania be
came a bye-word of reproach across the water.
It was during this disastrous state of affairs,
and during Gov. Shunk's administration, that
THE CREDIT OT TBE STATE WAS REDEEMED; Seve
ral hundred thousand dollars of the State debt
was paid, and our financial affairs were placed
in such a solvent condition that it was scarcely
in the power of a Whig administration to disar
range them.
Gov. Johnston has only carried out the policy
successfully commenced under a Democratic ad
ministration. Harrisbiirg Vnior..
IS Gov. Johnston a Truthful Pol
itician t
When Gov. Johnston was, for the first time, a
candidate before the people for tbe office of
Governor, he said that he would not be candi
date for a second term ; he said he would imi
tate the example of the lamented Taylor, who
declared himself opposed to a re-election.
In the same campaign, he repeatedly declared
his opposition to the veto power; he called it
an arbitrary prerogative and denounced it as
the oe man power, and said that, if elected,
he would never use it to defeat the will of the
people's representatives.
In that memorable electioneering tour, he
stole the thunder of the gallant hero, Taylor,
and magnified his exploits in the Mexican war,
and yet he is running on the same ticket with
John Strohm, who voted against the Mexican
war, who gave 'aid and comfort to the enemy,
and by his unpatriotic and traitorious course
in Congress, dug the graves of many of our vol
unteers. Harritlurg L'nion.
Colonel Bisier as fl Public Speaker.
The Fayette county Pennsylvania Democrat,
a laadiog Whig paper in the West, describes
Colonel Bigler'd late speech in that county as
follows :
We never heard so respectful and gentlemanly
a Locofoco apeeoh from the stump, as that of
Mr. Bigler. Tho very manner of it was, to us,
a new idea, lie -reasoned, and he treated his
audience like re6 ocing creatures. No rant nor
low vulgarity ana abuse, rampant xsisenooa nor
detraction, had place in it. He- seemed 4a feel
that these humbugs were out of pl&f in tbe
present calm oocdition cf the public mind
Xbe TrmiA Ikmip.
The Governor's organ is still harping about
the Governor having paid off the State debt, and
reducing the taxes, if the taxes have, been re
duced, why is it that every fanner finds that he
haa paid MORE TAXES the last year than he
has ever paid in a single year before? We have
shown from the records that the Uses have been
largely increased, under Johnston's administra-?n-
This clamor and falsehood about the re
duction of 'tis debt and 'lessening the taxes is
all gammon, and only intended to divert atten
tion from a tore subject. The true issue is that
Gov. Johnston and his friends created the debt
that made the sinking fund necessary.
The people remember that Gov. Johnston vo
ia 94(,(MHI to the Gettysburg railroad.
They remember that he voted $?,VOOO to
the Kittanning feeder.
They remember that he voted $133,000 to
the Sinnemahoning extension.
They remember that he voted $150,000 to
the Danville and Pottsville railroad
They remember that the voted $140,000
to the Laughlintown and Pittsburg railroad,
that never was incorporated. . : . ;
They remember that he voted $130,000
to the Norristown railroad.
They remember that he voted $400,000
to the Uaion canal.
They remember that he voted for a bill ap
propriating over THREE MILLIONS OF. DOL-
LtAus to State and company improvements in
one year, and that Gov. Ritner said tht such
appropriations would increase tUc Sute debt,
'pi four years, to $45,000,000.
And, lastly, they remember that if it had not
been for this kind of extravagance by Governor
Johnston, Thaddeu3 Stevens & Co., there would
have been no necessity for establishing a fcink
ing fund. Investigator,, , -

without a dissenting voice:
Resolved, That we highly approve of the nomi

Judge C ampbell.
Every Democratic paper we unfold contaius
an eulogy on the character of Judge Campbell.
Indeed the unanimity with which he was nomi
nated gave evidence of his being a man of bright
intellect and learned in the law ; but to add to
tbe proof of his being of spotless character, we
6ee him bunted .by all the war dogs of Whiggery
from Philadelphia to the lakes. If he runs
highest on the ticket, he will only be compli
mented just as he deserves, and such a glorious
result may iu part be attributed to the persecu
tionp he is now doomed to withstand. Our per
sonal acquaintance with him is very limited,
but the mere formal 'introduction was sufficient
to create in us most favorable impressions.

Good news from all quarters, lead us to look
for a full and heavy vote for Judge Campbell,
and his election by a decided majority. Our

acrimony, holds his position nobly, and will, our

Organise then in every election district, and
enrol your forces in such a manner that you
may know with accuracy your strength and
power to cope with your enemies, .
Organize, so that you may discover if there
be a man whom their falsehoods have deluded ;
and if such an one be found, reclaim him with
the light of truth.
. Orja.iize, so that you may place in every man's
hand the truth and tLe facts, that be may not

Organize, so as to secure the attendance at
the polls of every voter in every ward, town

Organise, peacefully, but firmly to. maintain
the right of every Democratic voter at the polls,
and see that no illegal votes be received.

allegiance to the laws is spreading .his Utopian
influence over the land; and TREASON, tie
hydra-headed monster has recently been seen
stalking abroad. To you the country looks for
hope and refuge. Oa your exertions depend
the salvation and the perpetuity of our happy
institutions. Let no Democrat think hinteelf
too humble to serve his country in this emer
gency. On the contrary, Le LouM fl as if
the fate of his country depended upon Li indi
vidual exertions. Reflect seriously upon these
matters, fellow Democrats, and prepare for uni
ted and vigorous action. Let every true Demo

country's good. Let him fe4 that in Lis hand
rests .a share of tUe rebpooalbility, and on tbe
Leads of his children may, perchance, rest the
shame and the penalty of Lis neglect or apoatacy.
Democrats of Pennsylvania, let not the secot-d

nor its sun go down upon your defeat.
