ing the Congressional Apportionment
Bill which had passed both Houses by
large majorities. And a more partizan
message than this was never seen on the
annals of legislation. As if he were the

Spring Election
Wn deem it proper to state that the
time fixed for the election of Judges and
Inspectors of elections, Assessors and
other township officers, is the third Fri-
day in March. We hope the great impor-'
tance of these elections will not be neglec
ted or forgotten. Since the law requires
the holding of them in the spring, voters
have become somewhat indifferent, as to
the exercise of the " largest liberty" in
this republican government. Fur this
reason we deem it a duty incumbent upon
us to call on the " sovereigns" of Hunt
ingdon county to turn out on that day,
and vote for men of honesty, independence
and decency. In the selection of Judges
and Inspectors of elections every one
should act with a view to protect popular
rights at the ensuing general election.
Assessors are also officers of consider•
able importance to the public, and should
be men who will not suffer themselves to
be smuggled away into other people's
CELLARS and kept there till it is "too late"
to assess freemen, thus depriving them of
their votes. Such things arc attempted
when niers can get previous pardons from
the Governor, whe is sworn to see that the
laws are faithfully executed.
We are all aware of the trickery of the
party in this county, and as
their last humbug is completely exploded,
they will certainly hatch a new scheme of
deception for the election next. fall. Let
it be remembered that somebody is squint
ing most awfully at a seat in Congress, and
that the Governor has already vetoed two
Apportionment Bills because they did
not " use up Huntingdon county!" The
si 4ns of the times show clearly that anoth
er grand rally is io be made next fall,
under the Mark ftai• of the lumbering"
,crew ut !lie Ki. tate," craft in this latitude.
The impel ta lice of having the ballot boxes
in pine hands must therefore be apparent
to all so that it is needless to urge the
matter any further.
THE " WASHINGTON GRAYS," a new
volunteer company about to be organized
in this borough, under the command of
Capt. I. V. evutv, paraded on the 22nd.
Veto of the Apportionment
Bill.
It will be seen that the Governor has
to resort to falsehood to sustain him in his
position. It is admitted on all hands that
under the Apportionment Bill returned
the Whig party could at best not have
elected more than eight members—one
third of the delegation; and yet the Gov•.
ernor tries to gull the Legislature and the
people into the belief that the Whigs
would elect a majority or very near a ma
jority. He is presuming largely upon
their gullibility.
The fourth paragraph of the veto mes. l
-- ....yet/ern taugnt trom my boyhood,!
[babyhood] that the safety and stability of
our government depended in a great mea
sure on the ascendency of the great prin.
ciples of human rights, for which the
democratic party has steadfastly conten
ded since the political revolution of 1800."
The last paragraph of the message caps,
the climax of the Governor's patriotism.
What a commentary it is upon his boasted
" magnanimity and justice to his oppo
nents." We give the concluding para•
graph entire.
"I believe those principles to be at the
foundation of our free institutions; and'
that whenever they are infringed, those
institutions are endangered. I would,
feel unwilling to entrust the defence of
those principles to such champions as
would probably be elected, were this bill
to become a law. Give the minority their 'I
full representation—deprive them not of al
single vote, but let not the whole control
be surrendered into their hands. It may
be possible that many of the great mea
sures of policy which have been the pecus ,
likr boast of the democracy of the country,
will owe their triumph or defeat to the ,
delegation from Pennsylvania. It may 'I
be possible, also, that the election of a
President of the United States will de
pend on the same vote; and in view of
these probable or possible contingencies,l
do those who believe that the political I
principles of the democratic party arel
essential to the public good, discharge
their duty faithfully, by allowing their
opponents to usurp the places, which in
justice belong only to themselves ? I pre
sume not to dictate mothers, but I cannot
refrain from speaking and judging for my
-elf. I have battled too long in the ranks
of democracy to see its standard struck
down, without lilting my arm to avert it.
Were I to do so, I should feel that I had,
betrayed the bust reposed in tne by tbel
democracy of Pennsylvania, and was un- ,
worthy of its respect and confidence.
My political career is drawing to a close.
and 1 will not sully it by the open or co
vert abandonment of the rights of my dem
ocratic fellow citizens."
Thus talks David R. Porter, Governor
of Pennsylvania now, when his actions
should speak quite differently. Hear
how he talked at the commencement of
the present session of the Legislature.—
We quote from his last annual message
" This is the first occasion on which 1
' have had the honor to address a majority
o t both houses of the general assembly,
belonging to the same political relation
ship with myself; and I cannot forbear to
",press the 7raiiiiration 1 feel at the pil:-
,
live departments of the government. I
trust we shall recollect, that the great
distinctive charactelics of the party to
which we are attached, have ever been
magnanimity and Justice to our opponents.
Let us not forget that miNourriEs ,
HAVE RIGHTS as well as majorities,,
and that whatever may have been the ex
amples set us by others, it is the part or
those who are genuine believers in the
principles of democracy, to do unto oth
ers, as they would that others should do
unto them"'
glow perfectly manifest the HYPOCRISY
of the Governor must be to every candid
mind. He is always preaching up one
doctrine and practicing another. The
truth is, the Governor is fatally bent on
having Huntingdon county used up" bi•
the Congressional Apportionment Bill;
and if he cannot make the Legislature
submit, like vassals, to his iron will and
dictation, he will not sign any Appor•
tionment Bill which they may pass. We
think, however, the present Legislature is
too honest and too firm to yield to the
tyranny of the Executive.
State Convention,
The crowded state of our column forbids
'the publication at present of the proceed
ings of the Clay Convention, held at liar•
risburg, on the 29nd of February. The'
number of delegates in attendance is esti.
mated at fifteen or sixteen hundred.—
Abraham It. Mcl!vain, of Chester county,
presided, assisted by thirty-three Vice
Presidents, and nine Secretaries. A coin-
r inittee were appointed to prepare a main
tole and resolutions, who reported through
their chairman, Joseph R. Chandler, Esq.
The preamble and resolutions were adop
ted unanimously, and ramified by fifteen
enthusiastic cheers. HENRY CLAY was
nominated, by acclamation, for the Presi•
dency at the election in 1844, and the Con
vention approved of the recommendation
of the Whig delegation . in Congress, to
hold a National Whig Convention fur the
nomination of candidates for the Presiden
cy and Vice Presicency of the United
States, on the third of May 1844, in the
city of Baltimore. A Central Committee
was appointed, and another to prepare an
address to the people of Pennsyvania.—
The Convention then adjourned ainedie.
