The Prospect.

| From all the present indications, says the Bucks
county lntelhgencer, we are in high hopes of rhe
election of William F. Johnston as the next Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania Everywhere his nomns-
ton has heen hailed with enthusiastic demonasra-
tons of satisfaction; and his personal popularity
wherever known will give him many votes from
the opposite parry. His LIBERAL enlightened, pa
triotic. real Pennsylvania sentiments, endear him
to the people, and point him out as eminently 6t-
ed TO watch over and protect the interests of our
Commonwealth. Wherever he goes, the people
flock in masses to hear him speak and the inter
est they manifest, shows that they are pleased with
the idea of knowing whom and what they vote
for. The strength-the strong probability of the
election-of Gov. Johnston, is further manifested
by the bitterness with which the Locofoco press
assals him. Their recklessdness and disregard of
truth and the common proprietors of civilized life,
will recoil upon them in defeat, and embitter the
cup of their disappointment. Not an objection
founded in truth can they raise against our good
Governor and the people will vindicate his char
acter against their sanderous alsehoods and della
nation Morris Longstreth, the retired city
merchant" as his friends call him, enjoying his
immense private fortune, and holding the Office of
Canal Commissioner while he asks to be put in
that of Governor cannot enlist the feelings of the
people. There is no reason why he should be
popular. any more than bis RADICAL ultra Locofoco
doctrines should be popular. The people of Penn
syvania, despite the potency of party drill, are in
favor of protecting and developing their domestic
resources-drawing from the bowels of the earth
the means offurnishing adequate employment and
remnnerating wages to- the laborer, paying the
State debt and Interest with as little draft upon
the pockets of the people practlcable-in short,
taking care of number one, rather than impoversh
themselves to build up and enrich foreign estab-
lishments' and foreign capitalists. Such being
their views, they will vote for William F. Johli- |
ston who agrees with, them in sentiment, rather |
than Morris Longstreth who is opposed to them.

He, however. refuses to reinquish the hold

determined, we believe, TO hang on to his pres.
eni Office until he shall SEQ whether the people
will give him a betor one.

senled to The people Of Pennsylvania for Their

Log Book first and took it ashore to see that
it was according to gunter-and the Genera
says it's all right. There is nothing goes into
that Log Book that amt genuwine and Capt
Jumper willin to swear by. The Capt. don't
90 on shore much-but, with a good spy glass
he keeps q good run of matters there, and is
amazinly tickled in watching folks landing
there and visiting the general-and has a no
ton that the General gifts rid ofsome on 'em by
by asking them to go out with him in the cot
ton field to help kill catterpillers,- the
Capt will laugh out some times whilst looking
through that glass of his'n, and say {" wei
there's the General at it again, shakin the bush
es and smashing the catterPillers."
And there he is sure enuf, at daylight ev.
cry morning, as busy as he ever was in Mexi-
eo-and the Captain and me have come to the
notion that whenever that broad-brim white
hat and old brown coat comes, it is as good as
a declaration ofwar agin all kind Of c%atlerpil-
