The Wings of Green township, Franklin county,
held meeting on the sth inst. to nominate tick
ct for the Spring Election, and were eloquently
addressed by PH1LIp HAMMAN, Esq, whom we
formerly knew as decided Locoioco, on whose
motion the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved. That the noble services of Gen. Win
field Scott during the war of 1912 in the battles of
Observation-Disclosures, Chippewa Plains and Niaga-
ra and his noble deeds of vaor and unequalled mil
itarv exploits in Mexico, in the recent struggle
with that power, have mertoriously placed him
first in the confidence of the people. Therefore,
Resolved, That Gen. Scott is the first choice of
the Wings of this District as a Candidate for the
Presidency in 1852
Resolved, That in view of the distinguished SER
vices of our talented, patriotic Governor. w. f.
Johnston, we will use all fair and honorable means
to secure his denomination and triumphant Elec-
ton.
The following incident that ensued we take to
be only the precursor of many such an abjuration
of political error, as it grows more certain that the
white and invincible shield of WINFIELD ScoTT
viii be advanced over the Wing column in the
campaign of 1852
"After the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. JA-
COB SKATER rose and announced to the Chair
his determination to renoance Locofocoism toreUer
He stated that he had voted with the Looofocos all
his life, but that he now publicly renounced the
doctrines and precepts of that party, and was rea
dy and willing to subscribe, heart and soul to the
Wing Constitution.
On motion, Mr.. Shatzer was received into full
membership, and then went up shout that shook
the hills around old Scotland, and gave the Loco
ocos to understand that the prowess of the gallant
Scott, so often felt by the enemies of his country
was even being felt and appreciated in the 'Green
Spot"
Huyra for that! We like such "noise and con-
fusion" Mr. SKATER is a sensible man, and
there are many more ready to follow his example
as the same opportunity shall offer York Repub-
lican

sellers, Druggists and others to the advertisement
Of" The Croton Manufacturing Co." of "A Court
landt ST., New York, in another column. This
Company undoubtedly stands at the head of the
Trade both in quantity and variety of the Goods
they Manufacture and Import, and as they are con-
stantly Manufacturing, they keep up full assort-
ment at all seasons of the year. We notice as a
peculiar feature in this establishment, that their
store is open and their stock can be examined from
six o'clock A. NJ, to 10 o'clock P. ~, thus giving
all who visit the city an opportunity to make use
of portion oftheir time which might otherwise
be lost. And to all who hold with Doctor Frank
lin. that time as money" we say, giue them a
call.

Hon. a. J. Ogin.

We notice that very general feeling is spring
ing up among our Wing friends in the interior of
the State, in favor of the nomination of the Hon.
A. J. Ogle, of Somerset. as the next Whig Can
didate for Canal Commissioner. We know not
what may be his wishes on the subject, bat, pre-
sumo, it is somewhat doubtful whether he could be
induced to consent to serve as candidate for that
Office. Should he be willing to do SO, there would
be not only great propriety but undoubted policy
in selecting him as the Candidate
Col. Ogle, it is true, is one of the youngest pub
lie men in the State; but it IS also, no less true,
that he is not only one Of the abest but possesses
a personal popularity second to 10 other man in
Pennsylvania AS popular stump orator, he has
no superior; and if he should be selected as our
Candidate and would agree to canvass the State,
he would arouse an enthusiasm in his favor which
but few men could excite. lie is moreover good
German scholar, and speaks that language with
great fuency; and would therefore possess an ad-
vantage In canvassing the State above almost any
other Whig that could be nominated. Let us
have Jack for Candidate He is the man above
all others to canvass the State in company with
Governor Johnston

Congressman.

As conductor of public paper, we ought
perhaps 10 mention the fact that Col Wright
has given Mr. Fuller. Congressman elect the
requisite notice OF all intention TO contest the
night Of the latter TO a seat in Congress- The
norice alleges that illegal votes were given in
some of the districts, and especially objects to
the reception of The returns from Montour--
The Congress 10 decide The matter, unless il is
abandoned before it reaches that body will
have majority of the other party. How far
a party vote may be depended on 10 give 10 the
defeated candidate a seat, we know not We
have, however, TOO much confidence in the in.
tegrIty Of The members TO admit of even a fear
that they will trample under The expressed will
OF the people, and permit man TO take seat
among them who has mol been sent there BY the
ballol box Whatever the hope may hang up
on unless the prnjecI OF geltng into Congress
in that way is abandoned, the contestant will
be manfuly met
We have IN this matter a striking egldence
Of how far ambition will carry a man. He
was candidate for Congress, and was defeat
ed. The complaint was that he was entitled
TO votes, in honor, which were not given TO him.
He was candidate again, and again the soye-
reign people said no. The complaint then was
that illegal votes had been given 10 his oppo-
neat, and that vote of a whole county was
improperly returned, and Ongh, TO be thrown
out! An appeal was made 10 The return iudy.
