Chief Justice Gibson!. -It is a question of doubt whether Chief Justice Gibson will receive a nomination From either pqrty for the post which be now holds with so much honor, credit and ability. We do not know wheth er the Judge is a Whig or a Locefoco.'nor do We care; but aro satisfied that no man in the State of Pennsylvania will ever again fill the post with the same amount ofjegal intelligence that it is now done. He is a man of towering intellect, great legal'hnowledge, end is considered by the soundest lawyers in the Union, a truly Master spirit. It would,be good policy for both patties to nominate him under the circumstances, in order that the place may be ably filled. The Reading Journal copies an article from the Germantown Telegraph, which nominates him for the 13ench, and adds So far as we can learn the bar and community here heartily approre-of the suggestion. Judge Gibson his been an ornament to the legal profes sion of the country, and has added to the dignity of a place once occupied by a Tilghman. His opinions arc characterized by strong-, good sense, profound legal knowledge, and great dearness of language—in short, they arc worthy of_the place he occupies, and which we hope he may not leave." South Carolina. The threatened outbreak and millification move. merits in South Carolina, have generally been re garded by the people of the North, as mere schemes for effect, and no one at all supposed - the sincerity attached to the same; but matters have lately assumed such an aspect as to convince us that there really is determination among the lead ing spirits in this rebellious State, to matte at least an attempt at nullification and secession from the 'Union. The convention which was assembled at Charleston a few weeks since, adjourned by decla ring the State ready for unconditional secession, and recommended to the next Legislature to carry out this design, by declaring South Carolina no longer a member of the United States. The object of gjese miserable traitors is to sat up the inde penYnt Republic of South Carolina, where they can rule, act and lord it, as they think, to their hearts' desire. However, these things are more easily threa tened than accomplished. They w i ll find, sooner or later, that a government like that of these United States is not so easily trificalwith, and that they will receive what they justly deserve, They have made one attempt at nullification already. They know the result of that undertaking, and may ,depend upon it, they will fare no better in this. We shall see what the result of this -move ment mill be. President and Associate Judges. Of all the officers to be chosen at the next elec tion, says the State Journal, we regard the Judges as the most important to the community. Whe ther we consider the long term of their office, their elevated and responsible station, or the vast range and effect of their duties,The subject is one of deep. and vital interest. They are to sit in judgment • upon life, liberty, and proßcrty, arid we hold that the utmost care is requisitan their selection. A President Judge should be learned in the law, familiar with the Reports, decided, not doubting and timid, beyond the suspicion of fear c favor or affectioti, of unquestioned integrity, and of recog nized sobriety. He should also be kind to those subordinate to him, not self-willed or dictatorial, elegant, rather than rude in his manners. Ability without good moral character in public stations of trust and importance, is but a curse to all whoso interests are involved. The Associates should be eqitally men of repu tation, having the confidence of. the community. Although it is not required that they should have extensive legal knowledge, the duties of their of fice requires sound judgment, good business habits, and some familiarity with legal proceedings. In the Quarter sessions and in the Orphan's Court, they are frequently called to decide questions touching the appointment of guardians, the appro val of bail, settling estates, conviction and sentence of prisoners, granting tavern licenses, and matters of interest and grave importanCe. Relative Density of Population. It appears from the Census report, that the population of each State, to the square mile, is nearly as follows : . . Maine, - 17 N.

The Westmoreland IntelligeiKer of the 16thl expresses a preference for the Hons. Richard Coul ter and Walter Forward, as two of the Whig can didates for the Supremo Court. They are pure men, sound lawyers, good citizens, and would add strength to the Whig ticket. Richard Coulter is 'a gentleman of extensive le gal and literary acquirements, stern integrity, and urbane manners. His judicial opinions have made him hosts of friends ail over the State in both par ties, and his courteons 'demeanor has greatly pleased the members of the bar. Ho has adorned every office - he ever held, id whether in the State Legislature, Congress, or on the Supreme Bench, he has always won golden opinions _among those whose praise is worth the toils of honorable -Lim bi tion. THE GREAT Exnnaztorc.-L-The Seeretary. of the Amtlfican Committee, Mr. Kennedy, received by the last steamer a copy of the tOfEcial Catalogue of the Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations," published by authority pi! the Royal Commission.

Mr. Gonder, Contractor for the Hanover Branch Railroad, has contracted for the rails for the road, with a firm in Liverpool, England. They are the T rail, and to be manufactured in Wales. They will be deliverad in Baltimore in September next, for $40,000. The Hanover Spectator remarks : It may be asked _by those who are not well posted in our national affairs, why the iron is purchased in a_ foreign country ? This is owing to the humiliating fact that iron can be purchased, brought and de livered in this country, at the doors of our own Pennsylvania Iron Works, for" less than it is even manufactured here. The cause is.the want of a Tariff sufficiently protective to our best State interests. So far from our Iron works in this country be ing able to sustain themselves against this foreign .competition, the Sheriff, and with him ruin and bankruptcy, are closing nearly every one in the State! It is the want of a proper Tariff. We hope the party who dearly cherishes this great principle will soon gain the ascendency, and crush the foes of our domestic interests, so that the vast railroads of the country may be laid with the iron of our . own beloved hills. Varmers Emigrating to Virginia. - _ Some of the best farmers in Western New York have purchased lands in Viginia, and will soon become cultivators of the soil in that State. In a letter to the editor of the Gennessee Farmcr r of a recent date, from Proctor's creek, Chesterfield county, Virginia, the writer says : I am anxious for a company of Northern farmers, say from one hundred to one hun dred and fifty, to purchase a tract from twenty to forty thousand acres, within twenty pr thirty miles of the principal cities and tide water, at or near a railroad or we ter-navigation. It will be but thirty hours travel by railroad from New York and forty-eight hours by steamer. Some of these lands are well improved and have fair buildings; and their average may be four dollars per acre. The climate is salu brious add admirably adapted to fruit cul ture. The following prices are common fqr the crops named : 14 heat $1.05 and $1 per bushel ; corn, 70 to 75 cts.; rye, 65 to 70 cts.; buckwheat, $1 to $125 ; hay, $2O to $25 per ton ; oats, 50 to 64 cts.; butter, 25 cts. per pound, always; cheese, none made ; Irish potatoes, $1 to $1.50 ; beans, $1.30 ; cotton 12 cents ; (little raised, but might be.) Nothing is farther from the truth than the common belief at the North, that it is disgraceful for a white man to labor. The Michigan Conspiracy. The Detroit Tribune of April 26th gives the following chapter from the history of the late con spiracy of desperadoes in that State. The story seems almost incredible. Is not some one prat. tising upon public credulity fur sonic sinister pur pbse ? The schemes' concocted, and the system under which the gang of ruffians, recently' arrested•along the line of the Central Rail road, were drilled, and the depths to which they. were rendy to sink themselves in crime and depravity, may be partly infer red from the following leaf in the history of their conspiracy,. At one of the regular meetings, which they were in the habit of holding periodi cally at their place of rendezvous, for the purpose of consultation as to future move ments, and the division of plunder, it was reported by some, in the order of business, that one of their sworn number, %%hose name was stated, had been detected in re vealing some of the secrets that should have been known only to the initiated. Suspi. cions of betrayal were freely indulged i n ,.: and t 6 the question as how the guilty one should be silenced, one of the conclave made the ,significant remark that ' < dead men tell no tales !" Acting upon this hint, it was unanimously agreed that the punishment should be death ; and that the duty of carrying the penalty into effect should be let out to the lowest bidder for the job ! The first offer was named at three hundred and fifty dollars for trn assassination, and the bidding went on till the sum was lowered to one hundred dollars—the bidder reserving the right to put the victim out of the way in his own place and manner, and the time allotted not to exceed four days. This offer was the price finally agreed upon, and the money , was immediately counted out and paid over to the fiend who had agreed to steep his hands in the murder. The individual complained of, and thus singled out as the victim of their vengeance, was one of the two, who, for 18 months, had been, under pay of ,the Central Railroad Company for the purpose of detecting and cringing to' justice this most abandoned gang of desperadoes. Fearing that he had become suspected of treachary,_he, had disguised himself, and in the capacity of one of their more western accomplices, had presented himself by the proper pass word, and was present through out this interesting counsel, where his life had become a price ! At the first opportu nity after these interesting preliminaries had been settled, our " marked man" with drew fl•om the infernal cabal, little relish ing, as may be supposed, the warm position in which he found himself placed—malang it the last time he ever met the, precious gang in council, and being but a day'or two before their official escort to our city, under the guidance of the Bherifr and his posse.

New Costume—How it Takes. The Keposha (W is,) Telegraph says : There iS no reform which is correct in theory, which cannot find some indepen. dent spirit in Kenosha, to redUce to practice. On Wednesday afternoon two of the wives of our most respectable citizens appeared in short dresses and pants. The fashion on the whole is appropriate, and has some show of common sense to back it. If any thing, the frocks are a little too long, and the pants a little too full. We admire the independence of the ladies who dare do as they please—what business is it to the carping and barking crowd, if the ladies of this city are tired of using their dresses to sweep the crossing and sidewalks? The ladies or Milwaukie, Racine, and Eagle. eille, can now get their dresses made and come here and wear them, till they get used to them, and our ladies will return with you, and assist in breaking up the mock modesty of your hen-hussied The fact is, "its a go," and it will not be long, before the novelty ceases to attract attention. The Geneva Gazette has the following : Day before yestsrday it was our privilege to witness the appearance of some of the ladies of our village in the improved mode of dress, viz : with short dresses and Tur kish pantaloons. This novel appearance was greeted by some with undistinguished mirth. By others with ridicule, manifestly impolite and indicative of the extent of their good sense. But most regarded it with decided approval. Yesterday morning, also, we understood they were worn by some ladies taking a morning walk. We hope that this may be the beginning of a speedy and general in trodution of an improvement so - desirable. We might enumerate the advantages of such an improvement in personal attire, but they are so obrious that they must com mend themselves to the good judgment of the ladies of Geneva, as they have already done to those of Seneca Falls, Syracuse, and other places. The Springfield Republican says that several of the new dresses for ladies, con sisting of the short dresses and trowsers, appeared in the streets-of that town on Saturday. Another of our exchanges, the name of which we have forgotten, speaks as follows: The new costume—the short skirts and Turkish trowsers have " come in town." If all stories are . true, there was an "ap pearance" in the -full style in this place, not two days since, and numerous suits, of the new costume have actually been or dered at our most fashionable dressmakers' shops, and will be out in few day's. Those who intend to follow the fashion, must go and do likewise. The dress has become too common here to attract much attention, and all agree as to its neatness,and the improved appearance of the wearei.—Syracuse'Journal. Altogether, this costume, call-it Grecian, or Turkish, or what you will, is femininely graceful, convenient, tidy, and in harmony with the laws of health, and; if ".fitness is the chief element of beauty," the most beautiful that our ladies have ever,worn.— Syracuse Standard. Let old maids talk against them, cynical editors sneer, and rude boys, and big dirty corner loafers abuse them, but short dresses and Turkish trowsers will eventually come in vogue. The same prejudice that exists against them, was once brought to bear against white hats and yellow kids ; but those articles have triumphed, and those who once descry them, are now their con stant wearers.—Albany Knickerbocker. We have not had the pleasure of seeing a specimen of the ladies' " frock and trow sers," but we freely confess the change strikes us very favorably, and as we con sider the ladies of our goodly city quite up to the mark in any good cause that pertains to them, we shall confidently expect to be gratified in a few days with a sight at " the new style." In many places the dress is received with approval' and admiration, while from no quarter do we hear a reason given for continuing the present inconve nient and often inelegant style of 'ladies' garments. The only weapon attempted to be used in opposition to the innovation, is ridicule,—a weapon quite as efficient in a bad cause as a good one, and more fre quently used.—Troy Post. APPOINTMENTS BY THE CANAL BOARD.- Timothy Ives has been appointed Superin tendent of hew work on the Portage rail road, and on the Western reservoir. Wil liam Brindle has been appointed -Superin tendant of new work on the North Branch Canal. These appointments have been made from Gamble's , district, and are re garded as a victory over the radical De mocracy. Both Brindle and Ives will receive three dollarS a day, and each ono will hare the disbursement of one hundred and seventy fire thousand dollars during the coming campaign. We suppose that all men wil ling to vote on their side can find employ ment. Brindle was Major of the 2nd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, in the war with Mexico. He can give employment to as many volunteers as will ask him for it. Harrisburg American.

Mr. Tiffany is her Attorney. The damages are laid at 810,000, and the case will prove a spicy one, affording good 'gossip for tea sralls.' —Cleve. Herald. The Wailing of a 'Panther, and Weeping of a Crocodile.. It is an old and well-known belief among American backwoodsmen, (and they are as good authority as Oliver Goldsmith,) that when a-panther. is hungry and feels dispo sed towards cannibalism, and prefers the tender flesh of a man to that of cattle, he utters mournful and wild cries, similar to the lamentations of a child, or the shrieks of a woman in distress. Some brave and good natured traveller wandering along the road thro' the wilderness, hears the cries, hurries to the spot, intending, to protect at the expense of his life-blood, a child, or a woman in danger or distress, and, perhaps too late, discovers by the glare of the eye balls that he is within the leap of a beast of prey. So, we are told, that when a cro codile wishes to allure a stranger to his jaws, the interesting, and amiable beast, like the Hebrew Patriarch ;, lifts up his voice and weeps." Who does not remember the professions of the opposition of particular friendship for the producing classes Who has not read and heard their lamentations about the poor men, and the laboring, men of the country ? Who has not been annoyed by -their incessant declamations about the farm ers of our conntry, and who has not laughed at their maudlin sentimentalism about wid ows and orphans? What intelligent man does not know that these are mere tricks for the purpose of getting the people into I their power and then devouring their sub- stance? Their friendship for the producinkclas ses has been exhibited by a revenue policy, which gluts our markets with. British goods, - and British iron, and breaks dOwn the manufacturing establishments in the North ern States. Their friendship for poor men, and laboring men, has been shown by de priving them of employment and good ' wages in manufactories, and coal-mines— by allowing British coal to be brought under low duties into our ports and sold cheaper than American coal, and by the proposi tion of their Board of Canal Commission ers to tax all coal that crosses our borders into other States. This - tax, along with the importation of British coal, necessarily , operates against laboring men, for it les sens the ability of the owners of coal-mines to pay their colliers good wages. The use fulness of laboring men is especially appre ciated by James Buchanan, the leadsr of, the Democratic party in this State, who proposed to reduce their wages to a shilling, and sixpence a day, or about 20 and cents in American coin. The friendship of the opposition for farmers is demonstra ted by depriving them of good home mar kets, by heavy taxation, and by an enor mous State Debt, all accumulated .under Democratic administrations. But we want the public to especially note the love of the opposition for widows and orphans. Whenever a bank is broken, 1 the opposition immediately charge it on the Whigs, and commence a long howl about the widows and orphans, ruined by the ini quities of corporiitions. All remember the annual lamentation about widows and or phans deprived of their just rights by the erection of Girard College. Now, despite all this lachrymose sentimentalism, it is, and has been the policy of the Democratic party, l 0 TAX WIDOWS AND ORPHANS! When a poor man by hard labor acquires a competency sufficient to feed his family and educate his children after his death, this same Democratic party proposes. by A TAX ON LINEAL ,INHERITANCES IO take from the widow and orphans, a portion of the property he left them. The Democrat ic party is not content with taking a man through life, but they want to follow him beyond the grave, and impose a posthumous tax on the estate he has left to support his family. They may want to live like de cent people, and christians. They may want comfortable clothing. They may want a house comfortably furnished.— They may want books and newspapers. They may want a useful education, and there are a hundred objects to which their little property may be well applied, the necessaries and comforts of life and know ledge, charity and religion. BUt no! a portion of this property is coveted by the great Democratic party. They have a host of' insatiable blood-suckers along our pub lie improvements who must be well fed and well paid, or they will refuse to 'do the dirty work demanded of them. They have agents to procure fraudulent votes and sub orn election officers. These men must be well paid. They have plunged the State into an enormous debt, whose interest must be paid, or else they cannot borrow more money. They have electioneering schemes which require money. They do . not pro pose a new tax on men during their lives; this might be bad policy, it might cause a loss of votes and endanger the supremacy of the party. They propose to postpone taxation until a man is dead, and then send the tax-gatherer on his widow and children. The policy of the Democratic party always has been to make taxation fall -on the farmer and laborer. In the administra tion of the National Government their political economists make the farmer and _laborer suffer in order to benefit the wealthy. In the administration of the State Govern-' meat, instead of economy and honesty, they have heaped up- a debt which must be paid by the farmer; and they propose new loans and additional and most iniquitous taxation, which falls on the weak and un protected, the widow and the orphan. Whenever the leaders of the opposition are empty and hungry, they raise a long mournful cry about poor-men, and a most lugubrious ululation about widows and or phans, When, however, these Jeremiads have entrapped the people into their pqwer, they devour the substance of the Poor, seize ender the form of taxation, on a part of the property of the laborer and farmer during life, and then tear piecemeal the in heritance left to their wives and children l - AarriOure American. The Campaign—Goo. Ohnston. Although neither of the parties in this state have yet made their nominations for Governor formally, yet it is conceived on all sides. that WILLIAM' F. JOHNSTON will be the candidate of the Whigs, and William Bigler the candidate of the opposition. This will not be the first time that these gentlemen have been in competition for popu lar favor ; and the auspices, we may truly say, afe altogether in favor of‘the former. But Gov. Johnston at this time has not to depend upon the hopes and anticipation of his friends as when he first came before th e people. His reputation as a statesman, was not then established as it now is. Though known to be eloqnent and popular, and to possess a sound, discriminating judg ment, and talents of a high order, he had not distinguished himself as a Statesman, in the discharge of high trusts. But the case is now very different. He has for the last three years been placed in that trying posi tion of Governor of this. great Common wealth, and as such has discharged his high trusts in a manner that has won and receives the approbation of every candid and patriotic man in the State, We may in all candor and truth inquire, who has any charge to bring against the administration of Gov. Johnston ; and answer none, who regards the honor or welfare of the state. On the contrary we say without the fear of contradiction, that no administration of the government of this State has done so much to merit the appro bation of intelli g ent men as the present. Gov. Johnston has not only maintained the dignity, and watched over the interests of the Commonwealth with a zeal and wisdom that has thwarted all tho schemes of his enemies, but has created for himself repu tation abroad. Other Executives haveleen known for their weakness, corruption or ig norance, but not so with Gov. Johnston. He has a reputation all over the Union that not only gratifies his friends, but sheds honor upon the state: But Gov. Johnston has not only managed the business of the Executive Department as to receive the approbation of all, but he has done what is equally important to the taxpayers of the Commonwealth; he has PUT A STOP TO THE CREATION OF HORE STATE DEBT, AND PROVIDED A WAX FOR PAVING IT oFF, by the creation of a my-K -ING FT:ND, that has already paid off more than half of a million, and which, if let alone, will in all probability, totally sink the entire debt in twenty-five years. This. fund will go on increasing from year to year, while the debt will be constantly di minishing. How important is it then to the people that his administration be continued until the system devised by Gov. Johnston be permanently and irrevocably established. So far as the great Whig party are con cerned, it is gratifying to us to know that Gov. Johnston will be sustained with a zeal and unanimity never exceeded. Truly may we say he is the most popular man in the Whig ranks, in the State. All over the State their voice is unanimous in his favor. But Gov. Johnson has strength out of the Whig party. There are thousands who are ranked with the opposition, , who, we believe, will give him their support. They are candid and honest men who have no personal political objects in view, who de sire to see the State debt paid, and the hon or of the State. maintained ; and who will vote according to their judgment, in the manner best calculated to secure this re sult. -Such men will not be acting in ac cordance with sound discretion, if they do not sustain the public officer who has set the ball of Reform in motion. Such are the present prospects of- Gov. Johnston, which are certain to secure his re-election if every Whig is found•to do his duty. Harrisburg Telegraph. PEAS AND BEANS.—Almost every one is fond of these vegetables, in their green state,, and would doubtless be pleased to have them on their table Free`asionally, as a rarity, the year round. Many, however, are not aware that it is practicable; yet it is a well known fact that they may be-pre served through the winter, and, indeed, till the regular succession of seasons presents them again green from the vines, as sweet and succulent, as when first plucked. All that is necessary to accomplish this is to • take them when green and put them in ves sels .filled with water sweetened with good sugar, boil moderately for ten or twelve mi nutes, and remove them to 'an oven mode rately-warm, where they should remain till perfectly dry. They are then_to be bottled and corked tight. They may also be pre- Served by shelling when green, and drying them carefully in the shade, without allow- . ingJthem to mould.—Germantown Tel. A CUBAN HERo.—Montes de Oca, the young Cuban, recently executed at Havana, for attempting to bribe a pilot to assist Lo pez in his invasion of that island, died like a hero. A letter to the Savannah Repub. lican says: Previous to his execution, the Captain General, Condit, gave him nine days to de nounce all the patriots on the Island, and promised him his liberty and a large sum of money ; but he nobly replied that he would sooner die a thousand deaths than denounce his friends ; for, said be, Cuba will be free, and after generations will shed a tear to the memory of one who fell in be half of his country, and our friends in the United States will now know that Cuba has thousands who will perish by the garote rather than live in bondage. DiNGERS OF REPOSING IN WET CLOTH?. If the clothes which cover tho body are damp, the moilituto which they contain will be evaporated by tho heat of the human body so fast as to produce cold. Thus we see the danger of sitting-in wet clothes. By walking in them, however, until they can be changed, we avoid the danger of ta king-cold ; for the place of the heat car ried oft' by the moisture in evaporating, is amply supplied by 'the additional: heat gene rated by the exercise.
