Qy-CASAr. COMMISSIONERS CONVENTION Our
readers will find the proceedings of the Canal
Commissioners Convention, held on the i,h
inst. in another column. Mr.. Burns, who was
nominated on the second ballot, is of res.
pectablity and a sound democrat. He is prac.
teal man and has had considerable experience in
the management and operations Of our public
works.
! u The conferees from Dauphn and Nor.
| thumberland counties met at Georgetown, in
this county, on Tuesday last. for the purpose Of
nominating candidate for the Senate. The con-
vention was organized by appointing John c.
McCailster of Dauphin. President, and C. w.
Higgins of this place Secretary. The convention
ballotted lo,ty.two times without any prospect Of
making a nomination, the vote standing for
Vim. l.. Dewart and for John NJ. Foster. The
! convention then adjourned 10 meet again al Dun
cans Island, on Thursday next. We hope they
VIII be enabled al their next meeting to make a
choice. Our success will depend, not only on
the kind ola man that will be selected, bu, on
the union and harmony of the party. Circum-
stances beyond the control of those who would
have liked 10 have seen measures adopted TO Sc
cure the union and good feeling of the whole par.
ty, have caused division in our ranks that ought
not TO exist.
CO The whig conferees of Dauphn and Nor
,humberland, met at Miller.burg on Wednesday
but did not, they say, decide upon any candidate,
2 Of them being in favor of Mr. Berryhill, . in
favor Of Mr.. Kunkel and in favor of Mr
Tweed. They are 10 meet again on Monday
week, at Harrisburg. They are, most probably
waiting the result of the meeting Of the democra
! tic conferees OH Thursday next.
Cy- THE LAST CorsrY CONVENTION i
much to be regretted, that division of the coun
ty convention took place by the secession Of
number of the delegates from the Forks
That The Forks or Upper End has just right II
a fair proportion OF the offices, no one can deny
? We should liked to have seen fair distribution
. and in this we believe the democracy on this sid
i. are of the same opinion. We do not blame on
demo, ratio friends in the forks because they ar
dissatisfied. They had. we think, Just cause q
. complaint But we still think they We're wron
h in Withdrawing from the Convention. The
should have remained until the nominations wcr
made and if any injustice was done them the
:, should have protested against the proceed
ings and taken their stand accordingly II is "a
ther unfortunate that we have so many cand
dates eager for Office. But il is . right they pot
S sess under the constitution and laws and howeve
. much we may regret it, it is not always possibl
l. TO help il, We should adopt in politics q
3 well as in other matters, the golden rule, I'D
'' unto others as you would they should do uni
ot you"

Is district has majority OF whg voters, but as NJ
AZ Bower is popular young man, and as there
r. no little dissension in the whig ranks of Unio
