Spring Elect ions. 11-7 - our friends throughout the County will hear it: mind that an Election for Judges, Inspcc tOra, Assessors, &c. will be held in the several townships on Friday next. We need scarcely brge upon them the importance of moninating and rirding men of the right stamp. :See to it that the matter is attended to. Our Candid:ld es. . . 10 - 111 accordance with the decision of the Whig ! State Convention, ossembled at Harrisburg, nn the 9th inst., we today place before our readers the name ofJA MES IRVIN, of Centre county, as the .5 candidate of the Whig party of Penns) Ivania for • the office of Governor, and that of JO. , ! ;EpIi W. PATTON, of Cumberland county, for Canal Com missioner. In thus yielding our preferenees, long entert tined and AIM expressed, to the declared will of a majority-of the great and glorious Whig party : with which it has been our privilege and our pride to think and act, wo are but doing what would have . been expected, under other circumstances, from : . thOse whose prelitrenves differed from ours,' and what we know is expected from us by every 'good t Whig. Many reasons had influenced us to prefer * the selection of our distinguished fellow-citizen, whose distinguished ability. great mend worth, and t . extended personal popularity scemad to mark him ; . out as our most available candidate. For his nom ' minas l n ye looked with much confidence, and' so express -d of rselves, until the CheSter and Bucks f .\ tt l / 4 , , -county a influents, followed in rapid succession ' by those of Bedford. Beaver and Erie, left brit little ' room fur doubt that it was the will of a majority of our political friends that another than JAM Eti : • Cooesa should Ito our standard bearer its the al , - i proaching contest. To this decision we bow with I f ; good w:11, and assure our political brethren through out the State that on the Second Tuesday of Octo ber next the Whigs of the "Young Guard'• will, as ' usual, lie at their posts. battling fur Whig principles, mid the nominee of the Whig party. .As has been well remarked by a cotemporary, nn important trust has been confided to the Whig party, and as Whigs and Pennsylvanians they should faithfully discharge it. All personal predi lections and considerations—all factious feelings— itli spirit of contention, critnination and recrimina tion, sIMUId now be laid down as a sacrifice upon the altar of fealty to the best interests of tie party and the country, and VICTORY AT Tor: POLLS i N OCTOBER, he the chief desideratum. Let the motto of every Whig lie "union, harmony, concili aeon'', every thing for the party, nothing Air men," find VICTORY Will crown our efforts. Once more our glorious banner out l`pon the breeze we throw, ..s. . Beneath its folds with song and shout Let's charge upon the.fue. Mr. Cooper. Although, influenced by a combination of cumstauces, a majority of the Whig pat ty of Penn vania, as reprciented in the late state Conven tion, have deemed it best that the name of Gen. lay ix should be preented to the people of the State as the candidate around whom the It iends 01 correct principles are to rally in the approach• ing contest, it cunrot but be gru'i:ying to the int mediate friends of 'Alr. Coormt to be assured of the strong feeling developed in his belmil during the pall week, among the friends of the rival can- Mr. Cooper, we hesitate not to say, en Joys at this moment more than ever the confidence And regard of the IVhigs of the State, and time Will bear testimony to it. Mr. Cl.andlcr, of the U.S. Gazette, who appealed in the. Convention_es a friend of Gen. Irvin, writing Irmo Harrisburg af ter tli4 nomination, remarks: "But has Mr. Cooper, no v tint he is no longer n eundidate, as many friends is before Do those who stand up for the candidate, in expectation of iris noinination and of his election, now regard him 113 they have donel Mr. Cooper has. toslay. inure friends than he had yesterday ; and those who stood by the candidate, in hope of his success appear to ma to be as much attached to the man us ever they were.
