CC..e We have received the first No. of a new
Whig paper just started in Washington, Pa., by
Saris T. HMV, Esq. entitled tt The Common
wealth." It is a large and beautiful paper, and
is, of course ably edited. We wish friend Hurd
abundant success, both pecuniarily and politi
cally.
COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Whig party of Huntingdon county, as will
.be seen by a published call in another column,
are again requested to assemble in County Con
vention; to perform the important duty of nom
inating a WIIIG COUNTY TICKET• That
this call will be responded to by every district
in the county we do not doubt. That a some
what diti . erent policy from that which prevailed
on at least one former occasion of this kind will
be adopted, is our sincere hope. Let those who
undertake to represent the people, in the per
formance of this duty, take care that their wish
es, and not the views of particular candidates
for office, govern their action. Let the general
welfare of the Party, and not the selfish and in
terested views of the few, predominate. In short;
let the errors of the Past be carefully avoided,
and the Future promises nothing but victory to
the Whig Standard in Huntingdon county.
To our friends in the different townships we
would therefore respectfully suggest: select as
your delegates men of known devotion to the
cause—of sufficient inte4ligence to understand
the sentiments of their district, and of honesty
enough to faithfully carry out those sentiments.
When such delegates are selected, pledges or
instructions are not necessary. It is better to
leave them untrammeled; for we have high au
thority for saying that the man who cannot be
trusted without pledges, is not safe when he
gives them.
The resignation of Governor Shuck makes it
necessary to go into an election for Governor in
October. This fact lends additional importance
to the coming campaign. To elect a Whig
Governor, in addition to placing honest old
ZACHARY TAYLOR in the Presidentialchair,
would render our ancient Commonwealth, what
nature has designed she should be, one of the
most prosperous and important States in this
Union. Let us, then, fellow Whigs of Hunting
don county, prepare so to act in the coming
County Convention, as to infuse the greatest
harmony and concert of action into our ranks ;
and thus enable us, in October and November
to roll up such majorities as will carry dismay
into the ranks of the spoilsmen and gladden the
heart of every true friend of the interests of
Pennsylvania and the Union at large. We can
do it, if we will.
AdJuitant General.
Among the first duties of Governor Johnston,
will be the appointment of an Adjutant General,
to take the place of G. W. Bowman, Esq.,
whose term of office expired on the 15th inst.
We know of no gentleman who could be selected
for this office more universally acceptable to
the people; than would be the oppointment of
Capt. SAMUEL D. KARNS. Capt. K. has
labored long and faithfully for the Whig party,
and is justly deserving any distinction that can
be conferred upon him. On account of his gen
tlemanly demeanor, generous disposition and
superior social qualities, he is deservedly popular
With men of ell parties. We therefore hope
to hear of his appointment as Adjutant General
of Pennsylvania.
Pa. 'Volunteers,
The two Pennsylvania Regiments of Volun
teers have arrived at Pittsburg. Capt. Miller's
,mpany, second Regiment, passed through this
'lace on Sunday evening last, on board the pack
et Colder. As it requires some time to
molter the teen out or service, it is not certain
when the remaining companies will pass
through.
Foreign News.
By the foreign news given in another column,
it will be seen that there has been a most des
perate and bloody struggle in Paris, between the
insurgents and the government troops. Every
Republican, however, will be gratified that the
Republic has been sustained, although at an im
mense cost of human life.
The rain has at length ceased, and our
farmers are now engaged taking in their splen
did grain crops. In some instances, we regret
to learn, the grain has been materially injured by
growth.

Resignation of Gov. Shank.

Gov. SIIIINK was attacked with hemorrhage of

it was arrested. In the morning early he was
reported to be in a prostrate condition; hut du

About 5 o'clock, P. M., however, our commu

turned out to be true) that he had yielded to the
