specie and its Expectation.

The expectation of specie from New York
during the month of APRIL amounted to 49,
482 1S2. Since the beginning of the pres
ent month the flow of coin to Europe has gone
on with increased volume. The Asia which
sailed on Wednesday, took out about $780,
0O0; the Humboldt, on Tuesday, took out
SSJS,03l and the Pacific, which is to leave
for Liverpool tomorrow, has S325,000 en-
gaged-making total of nearly two millions
of dollars larger amount than was receiv-
ed from California by Georgia.
The importations Of foreign merchandise
at New York for the month of April amount
ed in value 20 Sl0,330, ,8S3, while the exports
of domestic and foreign goods and produce a.
mounted to S4,e47,6 ,660. With such bal
ance of more than five millions against us,
in the business of one month, it may be easi-
ly seen why specie is exported to Europe.

Wbig Comfy Convention.

WING Comfy Convention.
In pursuance of the call of the County
Committee, Wing County Convention was
held at the Court House in this borough, on
Monday evening, the 5th inst, for the ap-
pointment of delegates to the State Conven-
ton at Lancaster. Owing to the inclemen-
cy of the weather, the attendance was not
large.
CHARLES P. WALLER was chosen Chair
man, and HENRY PEET, Secretary.
The Committee on Resolutions, reported,
through Charles S. Miner, the following,
which, after some discussion, were adopted:
Resolued, That in the administration of
President Millard Fillmore, and his able and
distinguished constitutional advisers, the peo-
pie of the United States have a guarantee
that the great interests of the nation will be
cherished; and that, while there may be an
honest difference of opinion among wings on
some points, we have an abiding confidence
that in the next presidential election, the old
whig fire will warm and cement the hearts
of all wings, from the bleak hills of Maine to
the golden shore of California.
RESOLVED, That we cordially approve the
administration of Governor William F. John
ston-marked as it is by wisdom that sell
dom errs-a courage that never falters-a
courage that none question--and an ability

the great Captain, the profound statesman,
and the good man-whose deeds and whose
glory are rich legacy to the country de-
serves at the hands of free and grateful
people their warmest affections and their
highest honors.
ResOlued, That in him we recognize all
the qualities of a great historic character
that whether we view him bleeding on the
terrible field of Niagara-or conquering on
the plains of Mexico-or maintaining the in
in her madness, was about to set at defiance
the authority of the Constitution-we see in
him those traits of head and heart which en-
inently fit him to preside over this extended
republic.
RESOLVED, That his history is not merely
the history of scar covered and successful
general, but the history of a noble self-sacri-
ficing and devoted patriot, whose only aim is
his country's prosperity, honor, and renown.
ReSolUed, That with him as our leader in
the presidential campaign of1S52, we will
90 into the contest with confidence that in
spires hope, and zeal that wins victory.
Resolped, That our delegates to the Wing

Testimony OF an OppOmcmt---A
Changc Of Tactics.

NnAA6C u
Since the election of Governor Johnston to
tle high and exalted trust he has so ably and
faithfully administered, the more reckless and
unblushing of the opposition press have occa-
sionally shown their lack of truth and decen-
CIV, and all self respect, by charging him with
the babitual and excessive use of intoxicating
liquors. To all who have been in daily In
tercourse with Governor Johnston, and who,
are, consequently, able to detect and expose
the lie by their own personal observation, no
other refutation of this base slander is neces-
sary-the common "walk and conversation"
the whole life and character of the man stamp
the charge falsehood upon its very face
With those, however, to whom he is person.
ally unknown the case is very different; not
having the means of information Immediate
ly at hand, they are in position to be easily
misled and imposed upon. For this reason
we take some pleasure in copying the follow
ing article upon this subject from the Dem
cratic Union of this place, paper which, if
not to maligcant in its opposition as some 9TH
ers, is certainly one of the most inveterate of
its kind, and may be seen from the fact that it
contradicts the slanders of the Gazette from
motives of policy, rather than from any par
ticular desire to do justice to political oppo-
nent:
From the Dem. Union, Wednesday. Ap 90
PERSONAL ABUSE OF A POLITICAL
OPPONENT.
We would suggest to our friend of the
Bedford Gazette, that there is nothing to be
gained in political or other point of view, by
his representing Governor Johnston to be in
the constant habit of drinking in the public
bar-ronms, and bearing upon his forehead the
evidences of habitual intemperance. We
never knew anything of the Governors hab-
its previous to his making Harrisburg his res
idence; but we will do him the justice to say
that we have never seen him take drink in
a public bar-room; and although we meet him
almost every day when he is in Harrisburg,
we have never witnessed any evidences of
mtoxication, either in his appearance or con-
versation. We say this much as an act of
Justice to Governor Johnston, and by way of
preventing the Demscratic press of the State
from pursuing course of personal detrac-
ton, which almost always recoils upon the
party resorting to this disgraceful kind of
warfare. We presume Governor Johnston is
to be the Wing candidate for Governor, and
we have no fears of meeting him on the prin-
ciples that divide the Democracy and modern
Whiggery, but we do trust that the Demo-
cratic press of Pennsylvania will have too
much self respect to fall into the course pur-
sued against the Democratic candidates in
1888.

ton of the work will receive the careful attic

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recomme ndalion. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravngs OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and In some respects superior TO those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper by % riches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted W hose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments of life Will have its representatives Art
and literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended 10 be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
that It's publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious Of the Union together consolidate
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens, the publish
