burgh still continue much excited upon the question
of the right of way. The Pittsburgh Advertiser, of
Saturday, says no other subject at the present moment
occupies half the attention this does IN all the West
ern part of the State. Western Pennsylvania is, in
deed, in a blaze of excitement very near akin to a re-
volution. People abroad who do not understand the
state of feeling, would be astonished did they know
the breadth and depth of the excitement. Meetings
are held in every quarter, and the strongest kind of
resolutions passed.

To the Public.

From the numerous solicitations l have received to
be a candidate before the Convention for the Office of
Representative, l feel constrained to say that the
claims and qualifications of many others are more
deserving than mine and as my private affairs would
interfere with my devoting as much time TO the can
vass as / could wish, or as might be expected from
me by the Democratic party, | therefore desire that
the public will cease to speak of my name in con-
nection with that Office. l am aware that it is used
as an argument, that the use of my name as a can
didate will call out the twenty or thirty Democratic
votes of Franklin township that remained at home
last August, but | conceive the use of others as can
didates might be equally available. l think the
Democracy of Franklin township ought and will
waive all personal and minor considerations, and
rally to the polls in August next, as one man; and
never let it be said, after having conquered our enc
mics, we have not power TO conquer ourselves.
