Without solicitation on my part, I have been chosen by the free and voluntary suffrages of my countrymen to the most honorable and most respon sible office on earth." The above is the commencement of Mr. Polk's Inugural Address; and it is a sentence of so am phibious a character that it is both true and false.— It is true that Mr. Polk never solicited the office of President of the United Slates before the Locofoco Baltimore Convention assembled : he had only faint ampirations after the office of Vice President, and never dreamed of such luck as came to him in that Convention. But has he "been chosen by the free and voluntary suffrages of his countrymen?" The famous, or rather infamous Empire Club of New I York and the stupendous frauds in Plaquemines and elsewhere cry aloud against the truth of the President's assertion. Usage restrains the candi dates fur the Presidency, after nomination, from personal solicitation far votes; but why did Mt. Polk give so amphibious an answer to the letter of John K Kane on the subject of the Tariff; and afterwards refuse to say yea or nay to interrogato ries of the " Dickinson Meeting," who wished to know whether he was for or against the Tariff of 1842 I Was it not for the purpose of drawing wool over the eyes of the "democracy of Pennsyl vania" and to catch the votes of the Tariff-men of the North I Office liunters. There has been for a month past an "innumera ble host" of these disinterested, patriotic gentry at Washington—to see the President—and our coun ty and our goodly borough have also had the distin guished honor of being represented in the federal city. All the hotels in the city, and throughout the district, are said to be full, even to bursting, and "the cry is, still they come !" The " President of the whole country" is highly honored. Col. Carter, of the Lancaster Democrat, an out and-out Locofoco, pays the following compliment to his brethren : What the lice of ancient Egypt were to Pha raoh, so are now the office-beggars to President Polk. They crawl over his path—attempt to feed nt the same table—and strive by their numbers to attract his notice." This, we suppose, is perfectly right now, although four years ago, when Whigs flocked to Washing- I ton to witness the inauguration of President liar- Aeon, the Locofocos had very delicate stomachs, and almost went into convulsions at the sight of the lust for office among the Whigs. And when it pleased Providence to remove the good President, these same Locofocos wrung their hands and rolled their eyes in perfect agony because the Whigs had caused his death by forcing proscription upon him and crowding around him with a continual cry of office ! office ! ! office ! ! !

On Wednesday the 12th, Mr. Cornman moved that the Senate proceed to the re•cons:derolion of the vote on the motion to transcribe the bill to erect the new county of Blair, which was disagreed to by the following vote: YEAS—Messrs.

On motion of Mr. Anderson, on Friday, the vote of negativing the bill to erect tke county of Blair, was re-considered and the bill was ordered to be transcribed, for a third readirig, by a vote of yeas 16, nays 15. The bill being then taken up on third reading, the yeas and nays were required and were as fol lows: YEAS—Messrs.

Yesterday [Thursday last,] thetvvo houses of the Legislature met in Convention to elect a Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned in the Senate of the United States, by the resignation of the Honorable James Buchanan. The Locofocos nominated the Hon. GEOIIRR W. WOODWARD, of Luzerne coun ty, a Free Trade man or, in other words, a Polk Tariff man. The Whigs deemed it prudent to make no nomination ; it being out of their power to elect a candidate of their own. On the first ballot, they voted for various gentlemen of their own party- The next ballot a number of them cart their votes for GM. SIMON CAMERON, an out and out TARIFF TIAN; and pledged besides, to go for a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the States. On the fifth ballot Gen. Cameron was se lected; the Whigs voting for him nearly unani mously. A majority of the Natives, as well as some sixteen or seventeen tariff democrats, united with the Whigs in effecting his election. We regard the election of Gen. Cameron, a de cided triumph of the protective over the Free Trade policy; and a Whig victory. One of the moat distinguished Democrats in the State, we might al most say in the conntry, remarked on the announce ment of the result there is no longer a Dem ocratic party." It certainly argued bad for the continued ascendency of the party, that there is such incoherency in it that it cannot be kept together even by the hope of the spoils of office. * rho Whigs deserve the thanks of the nation, for detest , ing the election of George W. Woodward. We appetld a table of the several ballots: BALLOTS. Ist 2nd 3d 4th sth Geo. W. Woodward, 54 53 55 56 55 Simon Catnerom, 11 24 43 55 67 Scattering, 67 55 34 18 6 David R. Porter received five votes on the second ballot, and one on the third. After the third and fourth ballots the Locos struggled valiently for an adjournment, but without avail. They saw they were doomed, and died in perfect convulsions. We have never seen a party on any occasion, exhibit stronger evidences of disappointment, mortification and chagrin. On the sth and final ballot, the Senators and members voted as follows: Messrs. Babbitt, Carson, Common, Darrell, Dar sir, Dimmick, Ebaugh, Eyer, Gibbons, Horton, Kline, Morrison, Rubs, Ross, Wilcox, (Speaker of the Senate ;) and Messrs.

Mr. WALKEii, the Secretary of the Treasury,also leaves the Senate for a place in the Cabinet. His appointment is the result of the Texas movement , with which ho has been very conspicuously con nected. His capacity for business is said to he re spectable, and I have heard him spoken of as a man of considerable energy. It is,however, universally conceded, that ho is but illy calculated to bear the burden of responsibility and care which a substan tive head of the Treasury Department must under take. his opinions upon questions of finance and financial policy cunnot command the confidence of the country—for nothing can in more crude and erroneous than they have always been. As a writer, Mr. WALKER is verbose and inaccurate—without logic and without method. His speeches are muddy themes. His essays shallow, but turbid rill. In reading the one, or the other, the mind will involun tarily adopt the idea that the author is a bustling fussy little man, full of self-confidence and self im portance, but without any real claims to vigor of intellect or elevation of purpose.

Public Meeting. A meeting of the citizens of a port of Hender son township, composed of both political parties, convened at the Union School-house on Thursday, the 13th day of March inst„ for the purpose of nominating township officers for the upper end of said township, to be supported at the ensuing elec tion. Tho house being called to order, Copt. D. THOMPSON ,being appointed chairman end ALsx Boons, Secretory, when on motion, John Allison, John Porter, Esq. and M. F. Postlethwait were ap pointed a committee to draft a preambie and res olutions expressive of the import of said meeting. The nominations made were as follows: For Justice of the Peace—John Porter, Esq. 4 . Overseer of Poor—James Wray. School Director—John Postlethwait, Sr. Judge--Caleb Parahall. . 4 Supervisor—Andrew Allison. The following arc the resolutions reported by the committee. Whereas, We as independent voters of Hender son township are assembled for the purpose of se lecting candidates to be supported at the ensuing township election by the people without distinction of party, and whereas, it has been represented to this meeting, that there has been a caucus held at the Sugar Grove School-house, by a few disaffected individuals who would wish to control the majority of the free and independent voters of said township, and whereas, this faction has nominated candidates for the different officers of Cris township on strict party principles without a due regard to the capaci ty of the nominees for each office. Therefore, Resolved, That we as citizens of Henderson tp. disapprove of party feeling entering into our town ship affairs, especially in regard to the office of Justice of the Peace—being of a Judicial nature, ' should never be dragged into a political contest, but should be selected with an eye single to the welfare of the community at large. 2ndly. That we as citizens of Pennsylvania do dispise the principle of dictation by factions, and that we look upon the late nominations as the off spring of a faction and not of the people. 3rdly. Resolved, that the faction or clique of Sugar Grove, is not able to control our votes at the election as we do not wish to be dictated to, or told that we arc not capable of chosing candidates for ourselves. 4thly. Resolved, that we use all honorable and fair means to elect the per/ons nominated at this meeting. DAVID THOMPSON, President, ALEXANDER Bum., Secretary. We understand that there was an agreement between the two parties at and previous to the as sembling of the above meeting, that each party should furnish half the candidates; but the " un conquerable democracy," as usual, seized the "van tage ground" and nominated Locolbcos for all the offices except Supervisor. The Locofocos not hav ing performed their part of the agreement, of course the Whigs do not consider themselves bound to support the above ticket.—Ed. Mr. Y'olk's Cabinet. A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot gives a brief sketch of the members composing Mr. Polk's Cabinet, which we think the best that has yet ap peared: There is, I think, a feeling of pretty general dis appointment at the composition of Mr. POLK ' S Ca binet. It is not so strong as I expected it would be, and, indeed, embraces no man of high, command ing abilities. Mr. BUCHANAN. the Secretary of State, has been for many years in Congress. Although he has just ly a reputation for talents, I ant not aware that he has ever done anything to distinguish himself as a public benefactor. No great measure acknowledges hint as its author. An ardent admirer, it is said, of 1 Mr. CIA e, he never had the moral courage to follow the example of that illustrious man, and give tone to the public opinion of his own State, instead of servilely following and profiting by it. A rank fed eralist in early life, he was not long in discovering that a Pennsylvania politician, looking for prefer ment, would have to adopt the extreme of the Dem ocratic doctrine, if he would rise to the top of the wave and maintain himself upon its crest. He tried the experiment, found it to succeed, and has ever since practiced the same lesson with the same results. Mr. BUCHANAN may make a very respec table Secretary of State, but the future chroniclers of that part of our history which depends upon the records of that Department, will not fail to mark how far he comes short of ADAMS and CLAY and Wsnwrxn, who were there before hint. It is but just, however, to say that he is, by far, a safer and sounder man than his immediate predecessor, Mr. CALHOUN. has been in Congress for several years, and is said to be man of industrious habits,—a quality which is indispensable in a Postmaster General. It is gen erally conceded that he is a man of moderate ca• pelt) , , but better than Mr. WICKLIF the present incumbent. Mr. BaNcnorr, w:to has teen nominated for the Navy Department, was once a parson—an original whig, turned loco for office, then became an author --woo Collector of Boston, and intends, it is said, to be the biographer of General Jackson. In this lies the secret of his present nomination, which is violently opposed before the Senate by his own party, Mr. JOUN Y. MAR. was a district Judge in Vir ginia, but, not liking the law, became Ty Lmt's Se cretary of the Navy. He now reluctantly returns to the low, as Attorney Genial, not being able to retain his present place. He is said to be a man of much personal respectability; and ie popular with the Navy. It will thus be seen that Mr. Por.x has not, in the outset of his career as President, manifested the possession of the great and essential quality of being a good judge of men. Had he been such, he would have strengthened himself by calling around him a Cabinet who would have served to conceal his own mediocrity. But perhaps, he had that infirmity of certain minds, which cannot bear the rebuking pre sence of a superior genius. STAMBOAT EXPLORIOX.-Ten. Lives Lost ! ! Tho Muscogeo (Ga.) Democrat says, the mail steamer Syren, Captain Sharply's, playing between Chattallooche and Apalachicola bay, burst one of her boilers on Wednesday night last, (the sth inst.) about midnight, as the boat was rounding out from Toney's landing and killed at least ten persons, all belonging to the creew, with the exception of a co lored boy, who was a passengers. Of the killed, six were whites and four blacks, and among the former • a son of Mrs. Tilley of this place—a lad who acted in the capacity of cabin boy. The captain was thrown aloft and fell into the water, from which he escaped unhurt. A lady passenger was rescued from one of the engineers. One person was saved by the sinking of the boat, which floated off a bail of cotton which had been thrown on by the explosion. We have not heard whether any blame is attached to the captain or not, but it is generally conceded that the boilers of the boat were of no ac count, and should not have been used so long. A SAD TALEA couple of young fellows arri ved in Pittsburg on Wednesday evening of week before last, and took lodgings at the Monongahela House. Immediately after entering their room they commenced a run on the bar for punches, which they kept up until 2 o'clock on Thursday morning, when the house was alarmed by the cry of murder. On repairing to their room, the inmates of the house found on the floor one of the young men, appa rently dead, with a large gash on his head, his face beaten and hideously bruised, and the floor covered with blood. Over him stood his drunken brother, with the remnants of a chair in his hand, which he had been beating his brother with. In hts frenzy he had taken his brother for a robber, and beaten him nearly to death. The injured party it is tho't may recover. An awful warning to young men.— Baltimore Sun. Mr. Birney and the Whiffe, A discussion is now going on in the Michigan papers between Mr. Birney and Hon. J. M. How ard, of Detroit. Mr. Birney charges the Whigs with "a conspiracy" in relation to the Garland for gery, and avers that Mr. Howard was one of the "conspirators." Mr. H. denies the charge, and in his reply the following passage occurs "The professed object of your party is to eman cipate three millions of human beings from slavery —an object worthy of a special interposition of Heaven ! How has it been pursued ? Will the low arts of the demagogue; assaults upon the private character ; the little tricks of a paid political harle quin ; the whining petulent tones of a charlatan, who has been detected in a dirty transaction; will these miserable follies break the shackels of the slave? No, no! What is your position Your own conscience must answer. Where stands the man whose greatness of soul and disinterested be nevolence now brayes the terrors and 4 conspiracies' of a slaveholding community ) While you have fled from the same theatre, to the confines of civi lization' in the county of Saginaw, where stands Cassius M. Clay, the bravest of the brave,' in the great contest? Grappling with evil in the midst of it. When the question was before the people, whether the national Constitution and energies should be exerted for the protection and perpetua tion of African slavery in Texas, he nobly co-ope rated with the party that opposed it ; while you, at that critical moment--a moment decisive to the question for perhaps a century--a moment when the slave in that country raised his hand imploring ly to you and your party, to all the friends of hu manity, for aid, for freedom, for life itself--you then drew off you forces fiom the field, and knowingly gave it up to the enemy. Where was the conspi racy' then? You well knew that if left to them selves, nine tenth of your followers would vote the Whig ticket, and thus overthrow that stupendous plot. You knew that their votes, for James G. Bir ney would be kg to the great cause. You knew that this loss would elect Mr. Polk, and gave your public saliction to the scheme. You knew and saw with your own eyes, that the democratic party were anxious you should thus act. They encouraged you. They saw, the decisive effect in their favor, of your peraistance in that course. Your labors were pre-eminently and directly for their benefit.— You knew it, and they knew it. Take it as you may—sneer at—ex plain— beeloud--drpreeate-- deny it as you please—this is the evidence of a con spiracy in favor of Slavery, which no regrets--no arts—no arguments can ever remove or shake.— The iron pen of history has engraved it on tablets snore lasting than brass, more enduring than slave ry itself ! Take it, sir, lake all the credit of it ! Put the gains, if gains there be, into the name pock et, where is now the price of the human beings, whom you sold into perpetual bondage." c - Capt.
