The very judcious selection of the late Wing
Convention for Canal Commissioner, we are in
clined to think is good omen for the coming
test Who that has been at al acquainted with
our legislative affairs for the last number of years,
is not well acquainted-by reputation at least
with the firm prudent, intelligent, honest old Dutch
farmer, Ner Middlesrarah Born of humble pa
rentage his. first days spent on a farm, and when
he became old enough. we believe, apprenticed to
the trade of a blacksmith he had not those advan-
tages for receiving liberal education which are
enjoyed by the offspring ofthe wealthy but being
by nature, of an energetic, determined. never-des-
pairing character he qualified himself to appear in
our Legislative halls, as one Of its most useful and
sound members. So we'll did his presence of mind,
sonnd Judgment, urbanity Of manners and deter
mined will qualify him for presiding officer, that
for several successive sessions he was chosen
Speaker of our House of Representatives, where
he acquired me reputation of being of the best
presiding officers our state has ever had. Mr..
Middleswarth is at present Senator from loco
loco district which he carried by his own personal
popularity, for at home every body favorably knows
"Old Ner," and when he comes upon the political
carpet he is invincible. For several years he has
been engaged in the healthy and virtuous occupa-
tion of tiling the soil, and were any of our citizens
to visit him at home, amidst his large family of
sons and daughters, they would set him down as
fair specimen of hospitable Lebanon county
farmer. Wherever he goes, his frank manly bear
ing gathers around him troops Of friends and as
conversational companion, either in the German
English, he is always interesting and pleasing.
We repeat, that we are we'll pleased with his nom-
naton, and with the cry Of Ner Middleswarth and
Wing principles, the second Tuesday of October
will witness the good old State Of Pennsylvania
cast off her allegiance to Locofocoism. So mote
it be.-Leb0aon COasrier.
