Hirst has filially obtained what he desired. But how? as the refuse of a stranger, he is made a stop gap. He need not thank, them or his petitioners, and much we misunderstand his indepen dence, if he does not let them know that he so considers it. As to the other applicants, they may bear their misfortunes, with patience. Some of them, will long hear the "no no, you hav'nt been a Democrat long enough" singing in their ears. But let that pass. The patient patriots at Ilollidaysburg, must submit to the sport ive tricks of power, and buoy up their spirits by the tact that their "own Davy R" says it is all right—and that strangers are better than neighbors, Mfr. Gay, Engineer We understand, has been up the canal line, and declared it as his opinion, that two new spans must be built in the aque duct, at Jackstown before the navigation can proceed. The Supervisor, we un derstand, is making every exertion, to urge the work on with all possible des patch. And we trust there will be no hindrance on the opening of the Naviga tion. The Engineer says the work can be done by the 20th March. Rumor, says that some of the petty politicians about Petersburg, were anxious to get Mr. Gay to re-measure the work done by Coryell & Johnston, on the Sha: Vera creek outlet, or inlet. Poor dupes, do they not know that the reputation of an Engineer is something more lasting than the ephemeral fame of a politician;' and did they think that a gentleman off Gay's attainments and science, would al-, low himself to dabble in such filthy busi ness, as trying to injure the reputation of another engineer, and that too, merely to satisfy the spleen of some envious pot house politicians. : It is really laughable, to stand in ourl streets, an hour or so, when the Supervi-1 sors are in town,—such a swarming of . patriots, and such a showing up of the an imals. Many worthy good fellows are applying for Locks, and boss-ships, bu t there is such an astonishing number of them that they must make up their minds to be disappointed. U e understand that the supervisors are following out the same system, as the Gig bugs, and are appointing some men, to fill their stations, who have just hailed from Ohio —good. Official Interferance. Some of the applicants were told be lore Mr. Porter left his home, that he should not have any thing to do with the canal appointments, it was the duty of the winal Commissioners; and when they were appointed, he was dune with it. This kind of nonsense was told to some who came to see it Porter would fulfil his promises, and who the Governor was anxious to get rid ot, together with their importunities. This pledge like the rest, has been bro ken, for it is not only said, but universal ly believed, that James Clai lc, President of the Canal Board, has resigned his chair, solely on account of the continual interfe ranee of Porter• Mr. Clarke, finally be came so exasperated, that he wholly with drew from the room on one occasion, and positively declared he would not again re enter it, if there was not less instructions given from the Governor. We understand, that McElwee and some kindred spirits, when an appoint ment does not suit, at once gather into a gang, and go to the Govermit's house, at any hour night or clay, and there the "in dignant Freemen" tell the Governor what they will have him do, and he, fearful that they will desert him obeys. Clarke deserves credit for his indepen dence. He well remembers the curses, his party heaped on Ritner for increasing offices—appointing strangers—and offi cdri. influence—he now dislikes to have the same arguments used against them.

Co. moved to add two names to the committee appoin- , ted to inquire into the cause of having an armed force at Ilarrisbnrg. A very sharp discussion arose—and, as may be imagin ed, no little of the debate was rather hard upon Mr. Brown, as he was implicated as one of the rioters, it looked a little queer to see him anxious to be placed on a committee to try himself. Some of the Loco Focos even went so far, as tojustifp: the violent and revolutionary measures o f ' the mob. In the House, the resolution inquiring into the delay in publishing the Debates of the Convention was agreed to. Much of the day was spent, in discussing an amend_ ment to the Wyoming coal company.. An amendment was finally adopted, making the stock holders absolutely liable; and we are sorry, to see that every wing and anti-mason did not vote for it. Mt. Cox gave notice that he would bring in a bill to make all stuck holders liable, iu all corporations. On Monday, in the Senate, Mr. Pen rose having recovered again took the chair. Mr. Brown's motion to inctcase the committee, as noticed yesterday, came up, when Mr. Brown acknowledged he desired to be placed on the committee,. and he rejoiced that he was the leader of that mob. Mr. Bell, of our County, told him, lie might be proud of it, but he con sidered it a disgrace. Mr. Brown's mo tion was lost. In the House, the amendment making stock holders liable, was again struck out by a vote of 45, to 36. On Tuesday, in the Senate, Mr. Myers asked to be excused from serving on the investigating committee,—he was not ex lcused —but a motion was made and agreed Ito, to add three more to the committee. A discussion then arose on the abandon ment of the Gettysburg rail road which lasted until adjournment. In the House, after spending a week discussing the passage of the Wyoming coal company's bill—changing, altering, and fixing, the whole bill was lost. Much of the time was consumed discussing the amendment making stockholders liable. Huntingdon Academy.
