guard of our lives, liberty and property--s too
momentous question to be entrusted, in the ar
rangement of districts, to that partizan dshones-
ty which has heretofore so recklessly attempted
the disranchisement Of large portion Of our cit
liens.
4. The proposed amendments to the Constitu-
ton will be submitted to you at the next election.
1t is question ofvital Importance. No true Whg
whether he opposes or favors the change, will
neglect or refuse to vote at such a time. Every
good citizen should vote, in order that the decs
ion when ascertained, be it for or against their
adoption, shall be the judgment of the whole peo-
pie.
S. Members of Congress are to be elected
By negligence now Pennsylvania may lose the
sinews of her strength. For years a majority of
her Congressman have been instructed by the votes
Of her people to stand firmly by protective Tar
ff, and thus secure the means of employment to
her willing and industrious sons. By low cunning
and bold falsehood our opponents have cheated
and deceived our people, and free trade tariff
has silenced the busy hum of our workshops. If
Pennsylvania lends her aid to this odious policy,
her prosperity and the hopes Of her industrious
and enterprisng citizens have fallen, it may be to
rise no more.
6. An Auditor General and Canal Commits
sioner are to be elected. For years member Of
one party has paid out the money of the people to
its own partizans, and another member of the same
party has settled the accounts The common
sense of every careful man teaches how unwise it
is to allow, in the every day business Of private
Aife, the same agent to pay out money, contract
debts and settle, audit and adjust his own ac-
counts. Prudence would suggest some check, or
safeguard in public as in private affairs. Should
the Wings succeed in electng their candidates,
the peoples interests will be watched and guard
ed in the Canal board, and the accounting officers
will detect the unfair results of party bias should
party favortsm in the canal board perpetrate in
justice Each party will guard the other, and thus
the money Of the tax payer will be saved, and the
treasures OF the State be secured from favori,ism
and consequent waste.
For Auditor General the candidate ofthe Wings
is HENRY w. SNYDER, of Union county, than
whom more pure, upright and capable man can
not be found. A son of Simon Snyder, reared un-
der the teachings Of that honest and faithful and
patriotic Chief Magistrate Of Pennsylvania he has
all his fathers integrity of purpose and pure dem
ocratc lore of the peoples rights and interests
The plain republicanism of the father has taught
the son that extravaganza and pro6igacy in af-
fairs of State are as ruinous as in private life
JOSHUA DUNCAN, of Bucks county, is our
candidate for Canal Commissioner. Educated
on the farm and bred 10 toll. he is a noble speci-
n l..
wants and feels the burthens of the tille1s of the
soil. Although unassuming, his worth, honesty
and intelligence have secured the friendship and
respect of all who know him, and the farmers
OF his native county have placed him in the hon.
orable position of PresidentF'of the Agricultural
Society of that county as mark of their esteem
for his virtues and ability. His sound and unbas-
ed judgement-his stern integrity and his more
than ordinary capacity, especially fit him for the
important office 10 which he has been nominated.
The nominee of the Wings for Surveyor Gen
eral is JOSEPH HENDERSON, of Washington
county. To many of our citizens he is we'll
known. For several years in the Land office, he
not only fitted himself to ably fulfil the duties OF
this responsible station, but his accomdang spir-
it and purity Of purpose as public oficer-his
superior business capacity and untarnished integ-
rity-were made apparent and acknowledged.
No better man could have been selected.
The results of Wing victory are many and
important, and should excite all to energy and
action. With the election of Wing Senator
Pennsylvania voice for the next five years is un-
divided for PENNSYLVANIA Policy in the National
Senate In the halls of Congress, Pennsylvania
would still be on the side of American industry
Our State would for ten years escape from an
unjust and oppressive apportionment Asa Wing
State she would be recognized as worthy ofreward
for her fidelity to republican faith And all this
would give strength and vigor to our State Admin
istration, and increased confidence and new hope
to its laoors and measures, to remove the burhens
from her citizens. Triumph now would bring
zeal and nerve into the subsequent contest fol
Governor, and secure an easy victory. Our pa.
triotic Governor will have so proven the merits o
Wing measures and Wing men, that the people
will demand their continuance in official position
and crowning victory in the Presidential cam.
pagn of 1852 would be but the beginning of the
end" of good results
FULL VOTE SECURES WHIG TRIUMPH
We give the figures why we say so. We
mGst, however, be permiued to say that the
Wing party is peculiarly liable to the charge o
criminally omiilng TO vote and This has pro.
duced more injury-more permanent wrong 10
