OPENING OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN
PENNsYLvANIA.-Weg give, in our columns, elsewhere,
despatch from Reading, Pennsylvania, describing
the vigorous measures now contemp plated BY both
parties in that State with reference to the opening
of the Presidential sanpagn This is the principal
news Of the day.
There is very little freesoil in that State. Only
few spots exist which of the most arid descrip-
ton; and the sooner its character is changed the
better will it be for all concerned. The de mocrats,
for the year past have been ~sry actively at work.
No place has been neglected. They have pushed
their policy and measures home to the bosoms and
business of men, in doors and out of DOORS In bar
rooms, saloons, courts, churches, custom houses
and to the prisons and penitentiarie for augh
we know to the contrary. At Reading they now
propose to concentrate their forces next Thursday,
in State convention; and while the friends Of
buchanan, Cass, Douglass and Houston, will press
their nomination, there will be struggle to pre-
vent any such action. Our correspondent describes
specially the programme Of the democrats; but
there will be an equally vigorous display of tactics
on the part Of the wings, some of whom will pin
their hopes to the gold laced sleeve of General Scott
while others will turn with admiration towards Clay,
Webster and Fillmore-all undecided, till the
twenty-fourth of the month, when there will be a
convention of these same wings at Lancaster. We
shall all have to stand on tiptoe, and look down
upon Pennsylvania, to comprehend the first demon
stration towards the selection Of Presidential can
didates by the regular nomination Of the great
national conventions, Of which these State conven-
tons are the pioneers and forerunners.
We have made full arrangements, and despatched
from office capable and efficient aid, to furnish
every interesting particular of these movements in
Pennsylvania, which will be hurried back to US by
mail, by telegraph by express, and every possible
speedy conveyance, as to keep politicians posted
up. These arrangements will be continued till the
questions in which both parties interested shall
be solved in some way other. In our columns,
the democrats will find the movements of their
friends fully reported as, step by step, they shall be
divulged at Reading-and we shall per sorm a SINH
lar service for the wings when they hold their
vention at Lancaster. The Of politics is rs-
ing We must all wake up, and look for the new
man going to the White House.

CASE OF ASHLEY, CONVICTED BY THE SrooL
PioEoN GANG, AND NOW IN TIVE STATE PRrsoS-
In the Supreme Court, on Saturday, this case came
on for argument and was heard upon the bill of ex-
certions made on behalf of Ashley This was
the only case in which the stool pigeon con-
spirators succeeded in procuring the conviction
of the person accused and now there seems to be
the strongest reason for believing that the convic-
ton was Illegal and that the Judgment must be set
aside, and Ashley discharged from imprisonment,
under repr.sve Of the Governor. The question
will be decided, in a few weeks, by the Supreme
Court. We have had no time to examine the merits
of this case but, from the character Of those most
active in the prosecution, think II most likely that
the accusation was false-got up by evidence manu-
featured by One-eyed Thompson, and his associate
stool pigeon conspirators. The conviction, there
fore, was probably illegal. What could be expected
but false complaints, unfounded prosecutions, nfa-
nous prosecutions Of individuals, and illegal con-
viciions when men Of the worst character we're al
lowed usurp the proper functions Of tie officers Of
justice and permitted to abuse, vllify, and over
awe the courts II has been said that time at
last ell things even; and the stool pigeon gang
are all rapidly Fastening to their proper doom.

towards the conclusion of this speech -" Gentle

tlcmen regret extremely that slavery exists in
the Southern States; but Congress has no power to

The latest Geographic dispatches from Pctou, and
letters from the scenes of the late fearful storm in
the Gulf of ST. Lawrence and along the of
is strewed with the wrecks of vessels and the dead
bodies of their crews.
At the village of Cavendsh, Up. E. ID the bodies
of twelve persons had foated ashore. The body Of
man with boy lashed his back ashore at
Restice. There is reason to believe that 100
bodies have already foated to the beach.
Between three and four hundred sail of American
and Provincial fishing and other vessels succeeded
in getting safely into harbor just before during the
gale.
The schrs. Florence of Gloucester, Oceana of
bingham, Lake of Cohasset, and Hannah Branch of
Newburyport, arrived at Pctou subsequent to the
storm to repair damages. One and all give the most
dismal accounts of the storm.
Here correspondent gives the names of large
number OF s. vessels ashore-crews saved" which
vary from previous accounts only in slight degree
he, however, adds to the list the following Col
den Gate, of Kennebec Forest, of Newburyport;
Triumph, of Cape Elizabeth
In the list of vessels ashore, with loss of life,
our correspondent says: "a vessel grounded to the
westward of Cohead, and Immediately after, went
to pieces. All on board persisted. Sixty barrels of
-four and some dry-goods, foated ashore from the
wreck"
Two vessels were sunk, near Stanhope-names
known crews, doubtless, all persisted. Five of the
crew of the schooner Harriet of Castne, saved
six lost.
The schooner Franklin Dealer, of Dennis, lost her
crew of ten men. Subsequently, Eve persons, per-
fectly naked, were picked off her sides.

Correspondence of the Wilmington Journal


MEssRs. EDIroRs: l see in your paper of yester-
day, article from the Washington Telegraph, copied
in the Baltimore Sun of the 9Th inst which says
the President would probably remove Mr.. Owen,
consul at Havana, and that the prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the appointment to
the Office, was that of Col. II. B. Walton, of New
Orleans, and adds that the Colonel commanded reg
iment of Louisiana Volunteers in Mexico, is good
linguist, high minded, honorable man, &c. Now,
gentlemen, know enough of this gentleman to en-
ter my protest against his appointment, for the
he is neither mentally morally fitted for the office.
Col. Walton has the good looks and intellect TO make
toerable drawing room exquisite; it is true, he
commanded regiment of volunteers, who, think,
were only three months in Mexico, without seeing
service; his courage has been mpeaLhed; it is said
he suffered friend of his to be shot down in his
presence by another man without interfering in his
behalf! This happened in New Orleans in the year
l847 and the name of his friend was Bird. l do
not mean to say that Col. Walton is an immoral
man In the ordinary of the word, but that he
is particularly deficient in the species of mo rality
which is component part of true greatness of soul.
For the consulate of Havana man of first rate ab-
tiles Is required. Such person could have been found
by President Fillmore in Hugh Waddel, fthis State,
six months ago, if he had proper to have made
the appointment when he had the chance The Span
iards, as race, are amongst the most refined diplo
matists of any European peoples it is to be presum
ed that one of the kid glove and silk stocking gentry
without brains to back his cloth, will for
the important consulate of Havana.
Col. Walton is good whig and clever fellow,
and would not object to his holding Office
table to his abilities, but would recommend the Pre-
sident to consult Doct Crane, the Phrenologist.
