this: this is habit of mind which is very apt to

The New Yorker takes the following
just and comprehensive view OF passing
events, as connected with Canada.
1t is manifest that the British do not
know how to govern a province like Cam
ada--but that is their business. We
remark on 1t only as it endangers the
preservation Of peace. But misgovern..
ment IN any country where a spirit of
resistance has been awakened is always
pcrlous to It's immediate neishbors, and
therefore legitimate subject Of comment.
We understand that Great Britain has
spent from twenty-five to thirty millions of
dollars within the last six months in what
she calls maintaining her authority in
Canada, and protecting her subjects from
instruction and invasion. Three. fourths

The Bills OF the old United States Bank are
daily getting more into disrepue, and out of cir.
cua,ion. The Market people will not touch them.
A gentleman us lie could not pass one of
these of the denomination Of five dollars, yesterday
in market. A ten dollar bill Of another Stale was
preferred. These bills are treated pretty much rs
the shin plasers eraly,-people like the specie
best, and will adhere to their preference while they
have a free choice Bennington Ga=ette.
The popular sentiment in regard to these
bills, is pretty clearly indicated, we should
think, by the circumstance that special
legislation was found necessary to prevent
their circulation. Was there ever more
striking commentary! Ten years ago
Gen. Jackson commenced his warfare
against this institution, and, armed with
the whole power Of the Government, and
sustained by popularity which nothing
could resist, prosecuted it during the eight
years Of his administration with violence
and vlrulence unprecedented. The result
is matter Of history. He pronounced the
bank insolvent, and recommended the
withdrawal of the public funds from it,
Congress Investigated the subject, found
the institution sound, and refused to remove
the depostes. But Gen. Jackson "took
the responsibility withdrew the public
money and entrusted it to the Keeping OF
his southern and western political Pets (;
and the result is but too well known and
keenly felt by the whole community.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

This day we have the pleasure Of pre-
senting to our democratic friends, the tiAme
of Gen. DAVID II. PORTER, of Hun
tingdon county, as the candidate for Cover
nor, put in nomination, with great unanmi-
ty, by the Democratic Convention. This
body was entirely full, and comprised
among its members many of the most re-
spectacle and Influential democrats III the
state; II assembled under very favorable
auspices--condutted its proceedings in a
most commendable spirit Of patriotic unity
of feeling-and its work, we doubt not, will
be CORDIALLY approved by every honest dem
ocrat in the State. By reference 10 its pro-
ceedings, it will be seen, that a number of
distinguished and excellent democrats, were
named as candidates for nominaton-each,
and all Of whom, were emnently worthy Of
the honor-but of the whole number, we
risque nothing in saying, Gen, Porter is in
every respect second to none, in his title
to the confidence and distinction, by which
he has been honored.
He is iiattve Of ofMontgomery county--a
son OF soldier Of the revoution-a most
consistent and unwavering democrat-a man
Of superior talerts-highly cultivated mind
thoroughly acquainted with all the great
interests Of the psoPle-and of much expe-
rience in legislation. He is practical far
mer residing in the centre Of the state, and
has most comprehensive acquaintance
with all its interests and resources in every
section. His Honesty and honor are with
out stain or reproach, and his personal pop
ularity unbounded, as his recent election to
the senate, in district strongly opposed to
him in politics, abundantly proves.
Such is the man, presented to the people
of Pennsylvania by the democratic conven-
ton, as competitor of Joseph Ritner. The
result is not, for an instant doubtful. The
melancholy visages ofthe Ritner men, and
the low abuse heaped upon Gen. Porter by
Cox and Others in their convention, give
full earnest of their desperation. "The
ayenging hour has come," and Gov. Ritner
with the sins and follies of his administra-
tion on his head, must speedily sink into
disgrace and contempt.-KeyStOne.
