FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, siTaNceisoir ea wrasarakihDp OF LEBANON COUNTY, The Canal Commissioners' Case. This important case, involving the question of the constitutionality of the election of the present Board of Canal Commissioners, was argued in the Supreme Court, at I farrisburg, on Tuesday of last week, before Chief Justice GI esox and Justices RODGERS, KENNEDY and Slimy:ANT. The case was argued by FREDERICL WATT., Esq., of Car lisle, and Attorney General Joirvsom on the part of the Commonwealth, and by JANES M'Conrcrex, Esq., of Harrisburg, in behalf of Messrs. Clarke and Foster, and by Juan MILLER, Esq. who, al though not a lawyer, " answered for himself." The case was ably argued. We heard ono of the speeches on each side, and still consider the cane a very doubtful one. The opinion of the Court has not yet been deli. veretl. BAD Fxtuso.—Mr. McGinnis, one of the dele gates to the Convention at Baltimore that nomina ted Polk and Dallas, immediately after the nomina tion, rose and said :-- "I hove sought at various time to address the Convention for the purpose of expressing my opin ion upon the course it has adopted—but I have been rudely and uncivilly denied the exercise of my rights as one of its members. I have, there fore, no resort left, except to take this opportunity of proclaiming that I bear no part of the responsi bility of what it has done. It haicommitted a gross fraud—a fraud upon the Democratic party—a fraud upon the country. I go against it—Missouri will go against it—l denounce it. I know that it is useless to spend more breath upon it herr, but the people will see it, and treat it as it deserves to be treated." Tan Les Tenxia.—The coarse and hlalphe• mous languageattributed to Henry Clay—Go home God d--m you,' &c.— was utterer by C. C. Clay, a Loccdoeo member of Congress, and not Henry Clay.

The Locopoco meeting in the Old Court House, on Monday evening last, proved the veriest failure that has occurred in this place for many a day.— After ringing the bell repeatedly, some twenty or thirty Locos and about twice as many Whigs, bent on seeing the farce, gathered in. The meeting was in due time organized, when George IL M'Parlane rose and stated that as the meeting was unusually small, it was not worthwhile to go through the for mula of appointing a large committee; and, there fore, he offered a preamble and resolutions, which he hoped would be adopted by the meeting. On reading, they proved to be a series of stereotyped slanders of Henry Clay, Joseph Markle, and the whole Whig party ; and the most fulsome praise of Polk, Dallas, Muhlenberg and Texas. The pre amble and resolutions fell still-born upon the meet ing; and after a lung pause the vote was taken on the adoption, when three voices were heard in the affirmative. Tho resolutions in praise of the Lo cofoco nominees, and the manner in which they were received, reminded us very forcibly of a funeral sermon we once heard a _lunatic preach at the drag ging out and burial of a dead dog. It was a mourn ful scene. Thaddeus Banks Esq. was called on and favor ed the meeting with a small speech. The speaker endeavored to be very severe upon Mr. Clay and the Whigs, and talked muchabout liberty, tyranny, talent and corruption, stink and shine, and rotton mackerel ; amid which "shine and stink" the spea . ker eat down to the great excitement of the risible faculties of the Whigs present. Our brother of the Beacon Light, the great ora tor of his party, next took the floor and gave the Coons," Clay, Frelinghuysen and Markle one of his most approved ksmbaslings. We are fearful there won't be a "Coon'; left in the county ninety ' years hence the eloquent orator havingsuch a dead ly spite at them. The speeches of both gentlemen were made up of the most perfect balderdash and nonemense, and proved to every hearer the utter hopelessness of the cause of our opponents, and the desperation of the leaders of the used up party. We hope the proceedings, including all the rese lutions, will be published. Who is lames It. Polk? The U. S. Gazette says :—' , Our neighbor of the Pennsylvanian is whistling himself and his adhe rents into courage. But it is in vain. The battle was fought before the nomination, and every reasonable man felt, and feels now, that Mr. Clay, if alive on the sth of March, 1845, will be President of the United States. We do not mean to blame the efforts of our opponents ; on party grounds, and for party purposes, they are very well. A sort of skel eton of organization must be kept up for the election of 1949, and to give up now, would be to unhinge that skeleton and scatter its bony parts. What hope can any patty have of success at this time of the canvass, when, instead of a prompt re . Lite nominations, they listen to the name of the Presi dential candidate, and then, with most anxious face, inquire, Well, now, who is this Polk that is nominated 1' It does not mend the matter much, when the re ply is mode, Ho is a particular favorite of General Jackson.' Became, with equal desire to have all right, the people respond, A favorite of General Jackson! why, so was 'Van Buren.' The nomination of Mr. Polk does not excite enthu siasm—it does not receive from the people that re sponse which is necessary to success. The leaders of the parties in the great cities throw up their hats, and cry out for Polk, and declare that they are most enthusiastic; but they do not waken a corres ponding feeling in voters. They may call aloud, but them is no respose. They may cut themselves, like the Priests of Baal, and when all these artifi cial stimulents have been applied to themselves, and they look around for some tokens of correspon ding sympathy, they are met with the same cold inquiry, Well, who is this James K. Polk that is nominated ?' If it is answered, that in the Congress of the na tion, he was an active member, and in his own State, he was three times a candidate for Governor, and was once elected, somebody, with an ugly habit of recollection, will say that, in Congress, lie was an active opponent of the Tariff; that in Tennessee, he was elected Governor upon General Jackson's popularity, but lost his election after his first term, and was a second time defeated, with an increased majority against him, when canvassing the State as a free-trade man. Answers of this kind to the question of Who is Mr. Polk V—and these are the answers that must be given—will not promote his election. licking from the Polk Traces, I The Mercury of the 11th gives the proceedings of a large and repsectable meeting of the Democrat ic citizens of the district of Kensington, held at the house of Widow Binghart, on Monday evening, June 10th, 1844. The meeting was organized by calling John R. Sharp, Esq, to the Chair, and Jo. aeph Cooke and H. Brady, Vico Preeidents--Thom as Peters and Edward Taylor, Seeretaties.' The odore Phillips reported a series of resolutions, from which we quote the following Whereas Col. Polk, we have recently understood is opposed to the great interests of Pennsylvania, which is a proper tariff for the manufacturers, mechanics and laboring classes of our country. Resolved, That this meeting being Democrats, who supported Martin Van Buren in the year of 1836 and 1840, first elected, and in the latter de feated, by the largest vote ever polled by the Amer ican people, deem it their duty to say to their dem ocratic friends thronghout the State of Pennsylva nia, that they cannot support James K. Polk at the approaching Presidential election to be held in this State on the first day of November, 1844. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, , 1 Col. Polk cannot carry the eiectoral vote of the State of Pennsylvania, and that his friend. be iramdiately requested to withdraw his name from the present Presidential campaign, unless they prefer defeat to that of victory. Tho Duty of Pennsylvanians. THE ISSUE. Let not the voters of Pennsylvania be deceived wills the issue that the Locofoco press is now try ing to make, before them. The question of men is Clay and Polk—Henry Clay, of Kentucky, identi fied wills all the great conservative and truly patri ' otic measures of the nation for thirty years past, re spected wherever known, and known wherever the name of American and the principles of republicans are understood—and James K. Polk, of Tennessee, so much the cringing flatterer ants political depen dent of General Jackson as to be called, in derision, "Young Hickory," „ The Green Sapling," that, instead of entering into the composition of any thing in itself considerable or useful, can only be bent about as a hoop to a decayingeask—James K. Polk, that swung into power in his own state upon the all-conquering fame and influsnce of Gen. Jack son, but when left to Isis own aiilities and Isis na ked principles of free trade and no protection, was promptly rejected ; and when ho ventured again to ask for power on those claims, waS with a stronger ' emphasis refused. Between these two men the people of tho nation are to choose. The people of Pennsylvania, however, have a smog and direct interest in the selection. Henry Clay, whose qual ities as a statesman have been te4d, and whose talents and patriotism reflect upon the nation—not merely on a party, but on the nation, and therefore he is the pride of a party—is the founder and the able advocate of that great system of protection which, in his love for the country, he allowed to be called tho American System rather than to repre sent it by Isis own name. That system is peculiar ly Pennsylvanian ; it is the cause of the prosperity which wo had some years since. Is injury produ ced the sufferings which afflicted oar state only a few years ago, and its resuscitation has caused that revival of business and that restoration of prosperi ty which is blessing the commercial, manufacturing, and mechanic portions of the state, and through them is extending itself to the agricuituriats.— Henry Clay and the protection of home industry I are words so intimately connected that they seem synonimaus. Pennsylvanians will understand their relation. James K. Polk has distinguished himself by his constant opposition to all protection, by his open hostility to the tariff that looks to protection of American industry, and especially and directly to the tariff of 1842, by which we are now beginning to prosper. The election of Mr. Polk—the event we regard se not within the pale of probability, per haps, indeed, of possibility—yet the election of Mr. Polk would at onto destroy the tariff, if Congress should yield; or not yielding, indeed, it would un settle the policy of the nation by keeping before the manufacturers causes for doubta,and apprehensions of the withdrawal of protection. And this last consideration is, limn. opinion, one most worthy of note. It has been the settled policy of the southern Lo cos, and the obedient action of their northern fol lowers, to destroy the protective system; but failing in that, failing in their atnpts to rexella stantly agitated in Congress, constantly under dis cussion, so as to prevent, as far as they can, the lib eral capitalists from investing his funds in manufac tures, lest the protection of the government should Ibe withdrawn. This has been, and this is now their policy, and by this policy they think to weaken op position, because they diminish thereby the amount of interest invested in, and consequently the amount of interest felt for, manufactures. Let our friends, then—let all—let every true Pennsylvanian bear in mind that the election of Henry Clay secures the permanency of protection so far as protection is required, and gives security to the capitalist to invest his funds where they will give employment to the greatest number of hands, and create a demand for the greatest quantity of the agricultural and mineral productions of the State. Let every friend of the nation—let every true Pennsylvanian, then, vote for Clay and Frelinghuy sen, and secure the prosperity of the nation and redeem our own commonwealth. Artful Dodging on Polk's Prospects One of the richest of the very rich efforts of Le cofocoism to get out of a scrape, forms to us in the shape of" • emu" copied from the Globe into the Pennsylvanian of the 11th inst. Mr. Peyton of Tenn., having stated in debate that he had recently heard a conversation between a Democratic mem ber of the House, from the State of New York, and the Hon. Mr. Black of South Carolina, in which the former said, in substance, that the Democratic nomination of President, at Baltimore, ought to meet with no respect from the country ; and that James K. Polk could not get one electoral college, unless that of South Carolina, and that would de pend on the mere whim and caprice of Mr. Cal houn; nineteen out of twenty-three locofoco mem bers of Congress from New York, in this card ♦aeanr each for himself, and with the most un doubting confidence in the statements of each other, that neither he nor they have, at any time or place, had any such conversation, or made any such remark, as was described by Mr. Peyton; and they pronounce those remarks of Mr. Peyton, so far as they were meant to have any reference to the undersigned, as utterly destitute of truth.' This Card' is signed by Messrs. Joseph H. An derson, L. Stetson, Preston King, Orville Robinson, Horace Wheaton, Moses G. Leonard, G. Rathbun, Z. Pratt, Wm. B. Maclay, Smith M. Purdy, Byrom Green, James G. Clinton, Jeremiah Russell, S. B. Strong, 0. Hungerford, Henry C. Murphy, Charles S. Benton, Amass Dana, and Wm. S. Hubbell.— Now all our readers remember the fellow who was indicted for stealing a pair of boots from a store door. The prosecuting attorney brought two wit nesses to swear that they actually saw the prisoner take the boots, while the ingenious attorney for the defence brought six friends of the prisoner who swore they did not see him take them! So with the loco members from New York—neneteen assert that they did not hear the conversation, and believe just the reverse; but where are those five members —or rather the four, for the seat of Mr. Beardsley is still vacant? Where is the name of Richard D. Davis, of Dutchess county, who, it is well known, was the man who held the conversation with Mr. Black? Where aro the names of David L. Sey mour, of the Twelfth, Cheselden Ellis, of the Six teenth, and Jeremiah E. Cary, of the Twenty-first District, locofocos, whe voted for the preservation of the Tariff of 1842? Where aro their names in support of the nomination of James K Polk, the free trade anti-Tariff candidate of the Texas specu lators? We opine they could not be brought to the scratch ! We know that Richard D. Davis could not be induced to sign this " Card," or any thing like it, and that neither he nor any friend of the Tariff of 1842, will vote for Polk and Dallas. Is it not this "Card" the richest specimen of po litical humbug which the humbug nomination of the Young Hickory sapling has yet developed? CALCULATION. The New York Tribune thud figures out the election in November: For Henry Clay. States. Electors. Pop. Maj.

Virginia 17 Illinois, 9 Michigan, 5 Maine, 9 Total, We confidently expect that some of the States we have sot down as doubtful will go for Clay, while we shall not entirely give up the last three in the Polk list, unless the Summer Elections at the South result badly. But for the Texas question, we should stand an even chance for them all. p 3" A Lscopolko ratification meeting was at tempted at Harrisburg, on the 7th, at which rather more than the usual amount of strife and bitterness was exhibited. Polk was swallowed quietly, though evidently a bitter dose; but when a resolution was proposed favorable to Parson Muhlenburg a portion of the meeting broke out in open rebellion. The Intelligencer states that from hot words the bellige rents proceeded to blows, and dragging each other ; q t. th., • • after the most approved fashion. Many of the must prominent and influential of the party in that quar ter resist most determinedly the Parson's preten sions, not willing to tolerate the fraudulent means by which his nomination was effected, and believing that the interest and honor of the Commonwealth demands his defeat. The Parson will find that though ho could buy his nomination at the hands of corrupt partizans, he cannot purchase an election from the People. ALLEGn Ye...011r political, friends of Allegheny are already in the field with a strong ticket. On the 6th their county Convention made the follow ing nominations, the first of which was made unan imOusly : Congress—Conarzurs Demuth Senate—Owner DANSIE. Assembly—T. J. 812(6.31, Jonar RIDDLE, ALES. JIILANDS, PAlL:wrier Muse. Commissioner—Wm. MAGILL. Auditor—War. SIMMONS, The ticket gives satisfaction to all the Whigs and Antimasons of the county, and gives strength and unity to the party. Old Allegheny will show her self right in October and November. llanhlenberg's Unpopularity. The Locofocos say that Gen. Manias is unpop ular with his neighbors, and by way of proving this assertion state that when he run for Congress in Westmoreland he fell behind the ticket of Governor. Now this is very readily accounted for. In the Lo cofoco county of Westmoreland of course no chance for the Whig Congressional Candidate, and the only inducement for running one at all, was to have a full Whig ticket in opposition to that presented by the Locos. Of course with no prospect of suc cess there was no exertion. But the Gubernatorial contest was quite another matter. Then every vote would tell and consequently every exertion was used. But in order that our opponents may see how this kind or argument will answer when ap plied to their own candidate, we append the follow ing extract from the last number of the Berks and Schuylkill Journal, to show how very popular Muhlenberg was, and needs must be, where he is best known. Our Loco friends should recollect that it is a poor rule that want work both ways.'— The Journal says : ~ Mr. Muhlenberg was elected to Congress in 1528, being at that time Pastor of the Lutheran Church of Reading, the district then being Berke, Schuylkill and Lehigh, which sent two members. On the same ticket with Mr. Muhlenberg, Mr. Frey, of Lehigh. Tho vote of the district was, • For Muhlenberg 4221 Frey 4612 showing that Frey ran ahead of Mr. Muhlenberg in the district 397 votes. _ But further: in Berk. county Mr. Muhlcnberg received 2429 votes end Mr. Frey 2887. MUH. LENBERG BEING 408 VOTES BEHIND HIS LEHIGH COLLEAGUE I N BERKS COUNTY! The returns ahow that Muhlenberg was then ALTOGETHER BEHIND HIS TICKET. Daniel A. Bertolett, for senate was ahead of him 42,8 VOTES. FIVE of the canditatee fop miserably were ahead of him—viz: Paul Geiger, Thomas J. Reber, O. Kline, John Stauffer and John Kercher. John Stauffer beating him by nearly TWO HUNDRED VOTES! Kercher was a resident of Schuylkill county, (which then elected with Berke) was ahead of Wittenberg in Berke county, which shows, that in 1828, Muhlenberg was not only behind the can• didates on his ticked front Bcrks, but fell short of men from Seliuylcill and Lehigh. ' It appears further that although Mr. Muhlenberg was ahead of the Auditor, he was beaten both by the Commissioner and Director of the Poor, falling generally from ONE TO FOUR HUNDRED VOTES BEHIND HIS TICKET!" These are the plain facts,--the inference we leave to those who are so much concerned about General Markle.—Clay Bugle. Undressed Sailed, The following from the Philadelphia Times, des cribing the way in which the announcement of Mr. DALLAS' nomination was made to him, by the Las tern delegation returning from the Convention, has in our view something excessively ludicrous. Mr. Dallas, standing barefooted, in hilt shirt or drawers, (we presume he had drawers on,) in the midst of a company of individuals overloaded with champaign, yelling and shouting like savages in his parlor, beats even our conception of Monsieur Tonson's woeful figure, when plagued by that wicked wight Tom King. But to the scene: Accompanied by Senator Walker, of Mississip pi, a personal friend of Mr. Dallas, the delegates, sixty in number, arrived in Philadelphia on Friday morning about 5i o'clock. Of course almost every body was yet asleep. The party soon reached Mr. D's houso in Walnut below Tenth street, and Mr. Walker, ascending the steps, rang the bell. Atter a pause, Mrs. D. put her head out of the window, and seeing Mr. Walker, conjectured that some misfor tune had happened her daughter, reident in Wash ington. Mr. Walker's, I want to see Mr. Dallas immediately,' confirmed her suspicions, and she hastily awakened her husband, communicated the sad conjectures. He ran down stairs half dressed and barefooted--opened the door—when to his utter amazement, in walked sixty or more gentle. men, two by two, with the tread of soldiers, passing him by, entering his front parlor as though to make him a captive. Not having the slightest concep tion of their object, ho stood thunder-struck at the scene. Mr. Walker led him into the back parlor. My dear Walker,' said he in amazement, what is the matter?' Wait one moment, if you please, Dallas—wait ono moment, if you please.' Fhe folding doors were then thrown open,•and the whole stepping forward, gave three cheers for POLK and DALLAS !' Mr. D. stood paralyzed. Mr. Walker enjoyed his discomfiture. Gov. Fairfield, of Maine, then stepped forward, and in the name of the dole gaion, solved the mystery in a brief speech. Mr. Dallas having by this time collected himself, made a very short reply. Mr. Walker and several of the delegation then spoke. after which they gave twen ty-six cheers for Polk, Dallas, Multlenburg and Texas." Tea SECRET or IT.—The Nashville Union of the 23d of last month, after premising that it can do more than guess at the probable result of the Balti more Convention, and adding that Mr. Van Buren'a name will probably be withdrawn, says: "We guess the claims of Mr. Pout and others will be urged privately or publicly, and, after, two or three ballotingt2tere , cr e d n i i aA y lkaAri v il i be tie; ;andidtl a te ' of the groat Democratic party with enthusiasm and unanimity." This is the first, last, and only intimation which we remember to have seen from any quarter, prior to the Baltimore Convention, of the probability, or possibility of Mr. Polk's being a candidate for the Presidency. Tho inference is irresistable that the arrangement for withdrawing Mr. Van Buren, and bringing forward Mr. Potx, was made at Nash or in the neighborhood of that city.—N. Intel. TOE CIIARITT (!) OF JAMES K. Potx.—On the the Ist of February, 1931, Mr. Washington, of the House of Representatives, presented a statement from the Mayor of Georgetown, D. C., relative to the suffering condition of the poor of that city.— The winter was ono of unusual and extraordinary severity, while the supply of wood was insufficient in the city, to meet the wants of the suffering pop ulation. It so happened that there was at that pe riod collected within the yard of the Capitol more wood, much more than would be needed for the wants of Congress. Mr. Washington accordingly moved that of this superfluity thirty cords bo placed at the disposal of the Mayor of Georgetown to be appropriated for the relief of the suffering poor of that city. Was there any ono present so unfeeling, so insensible to the dictates of humanity—so deaf to the cry of distress and suffering that went up to the Capitol from around its very walls, as to object to this charitable proposition? Yes, there was one. He rose and opposed the motion. It was a bad ex ample. It was, he said, undignified for the legisla tors to become overseers of the poor, to hoard up wood to deal it out to the paupers of the district.-- And when the House, containing a large majority of the political friends of that gentleman, voted, by a decisive majority, to extend a helping hand to their feeling fellow creatures in Georgetown, the name of that member was recorded in the negative! His name was (Cr JAMES K. POLK. Old files are ugly things to bite against whether they be of iron or paper! The York Re. publican gives some curious extracts from the past. In 1835 the friend's of Gov. Wolf's re-election cel ebrated the Fourth of July in Lancaster; and among others tho following toast was given by a gentleman long a Locofoco editor—a man of ac knowledged abilities, and still, we believe, a mem ber of that party : "By HUGH MAXWELL—The Muhlies now, as since the creation, an odd product neither horse nor ass but something between, wilful, stubborn, intrac table, and incapable of increase." These arc certainly by no means commendable qualities; but they aro no doubt characteristic of the hyorid creature to which they are attributed by Mr. Ataxwsct ; and 'as "Muhly" only received 40,000 out of the 200,000 votes polled for Gover nor in 1835, and is "incapable of increasing" them, ho must be soundly beaten next October. Indeed another toast given at the same celebration seems to presage the parson's fate as aptly now as then "By JACOB RINEHART—The race over Me Pennsylvania Course in October next —lf the old saying of " Nick take the hindmost" be true, he will surely have (he Parson."
