State Treasurer,

For THE q DEMOCRAT AND SENTINEL
GeatIemcn :-Ro:ation in office being a well
recognized feature in the democratic creed, and
acknowledged to be eminently useful in its ten
dency, respectfully beg leave to suggest the
name of JoHN B. GUTHRIE, Esq, Of Allegheny
County, IN connection with the Office Of State
Treasurer. The present incumbent of the office
Gen JOIN VI. B1cKEL, has held the Office for four
years. and has discharged the duties with ac-
knowledged ability and integrity. It lis under
stood that he does not desire eelection, and 1T
therefore bchooyes the democratic party or any
one of its members to name some gentleman as
his successor.
1t is not necessary for the author Of this com
munication, to enter into detailed statement of
the claims of John b. Guthrie. for that or any
other Office in the gift of the Representatives of
the people That he is an honest man, all who
know him cheerfully testify; that he is fully
competent for honest and able discharge of the
responsible duties of the Office of State Treasurer,
is equally certain, and when [ say that John b.
Guthrie is an honest man, merely pay him a
compliment that will be endorsed to its fun extent
-------- ~afcted
Mayor of the Wing City of Pittsburg ON accon..t
Vi illS NCil hiioNh the
duties of the office with great credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of the citizens of
the second City Of the Commonwealth.
In addition to his very excellent personal char
acter, he has always been known consistent
and orthodox democrat, true under all circ,m-
stances, and on all occasions, faithful as the needle
to the pole.
As Western democrat present his nam, to
the democratic members of the Legislature, md
ask at their hands fair and honest investigation
fhiS claims, not because he is a better democrat
than others whose names will be submitted to
the caucus, but that his whole public career pre-
sents as full and perfect reaord of mis- devotion
to democratic principles, its cause and its cahdi-
dates, as that of any other man in the ComIton-
wealth. / believe him to be fortunate in his dca-
ton; equally so in his claims upon the gratitude
of bis party, and very certain that he will prove
himself fully competent for all the emergencies
of the Office.

Next Canal Commissioner.

We this week hoist, as the next Democratic
candidate for the above office, the name of Col.
Mott, of Pike county.
We do so in obedience to public sentiment i'll

the choice of our democracy.
He has now, for the third time been presented
by the democracy of the tenth Legion; twice

A Worthy Ally.

certain Mr.. Drum, member of Congress from
Indiana county, has been bracing himself up to
play tune to the fling of the inmitable but OBJ
scure Merriman. worthy ally-but for what
reason we know not. Mr. Drum is out in long
letter in which he rattles away at the Canal
Commissioners quite fiercely, and charges them
with all manner of frauds but as usual, he pro-
duces no proof to substantiate these oft exploded
charges. What induces Mr.. Drum to play sec
ond fiddle to Merriman is shrouded in mystery
whether he was one of the secret partners ofAier-
riman & Co., who tried to chizZle the Common
wealth out of an enormous amount of money by
taking large contracts on the new Portage Road,
whether he was disappointed in getting fat
pull single handed, we do not know-but we do
know that he has made ninny of himself by re-
pcating charges for some sinister end or other,
that majority offorty thousand Of the people of
Pennsylvania put their seal condemnation and
unbelief upon but few months ago. He has
chalked out his course-we predict for him tat
too that Will surprise him should he ever come up
before the people of his district for second term.

Publication of the Laws.

A number of our PENNSYLVANIA exchanges have
given favorable responses to our articles adyoca-
ting the publication of the laws of this State in
two or more of the papers of each county. From
the unanirnity of sentiment thus far expressed,
we are induced to believe that the subject will
have its due weight with the representatives of
the pcople and that the useless and expensive
custom of publishing the laws in pamhlet form
will be abandoned. This mode has fallen far
short of subscribing the purpose intended by
those who authorized it. Every year the State
paws thousands of dollars for pamphlet law print
ing and our citizens have long regarded the eX-
ptnse as one without consideration. The con-
Tractor does the work in whatever time may suit
his convenience, receives his pay, and few cop
les are forwarded TO the several counties, from
eight to twelve months after the laws were pass
cd by the Legislature. In speaking of this sys-
tem the Erie Observer says:
I'aIIrrIIe, ,i.s.. -t~-,, 10 Iecn
fully tested and if there is a man who has the
hardihood to say that it has not proved failure
an entire and complete failure for all the pur-
poses intended-we should like to see him. Hun
tfrefs of thousands of dollars have been extracted
from the pockets of the people to pay for the pub
hcation of these laws, and yet how many of those
who it was intended to enlighten with them, have
ever seen them ?''
The Washington Examiner gives several good
reasons why the newspaper mode of publication
should be adopted. 1t says that the laws of the
last session ofthe Legislature have not yet been
received in Washington county. This fact of it
self should be sufficient TO convince our law-lna-
kers of the importance the necessity change
In short time, a new session will commence,
and new laws be enacted for the government Of
our people, before they have opportunity OF
knowing how many or how great have been their
legal sins for the last year This is crying
wrong, and must be redressed and we hope that
every press In the State will speak out plainly
and freely on the subject Some change is de-
mandcd by the interests of the people, and if any
better than the one we have suggested can be adj
vanced, we shall be happy to announce and en-
dorSe it.-PiHS. Union.

THE Press IN Decentralization, the Aboi-
ZIONIST. has just returned from visit to the West,
ana appears to be particularly incensed against
the newspaper press. He says:
:" We have been in the editorial harness for
more than quarter of century, and during
that period have had every facility to ascertain
the character of the American press, in regard to
every reform that has struggled for the ascenden-
cy during that period and we soberly aver as
our conviction, that majority of the proprietors
and editors of public Journals more justly de-
serve place in the penitentiaries of the land,
than the inmates of those places generally. No
felons are more lost to shame no liars are so nn-
scrupulous; calumniators are so malignant
and satanic.

with Mr.. Schellhorn he is an artist possessing
ingenuity and taste, and is deserving ofall pat
ronage.

Schellhorn's rough etching of view of Holli-

churches, &C. Mr.. s. is now putting the finish
ing touches to it, after which he viii take it to
Philadelphia and have it Autographed. 1t is his
intention to issue some two three hundred CO.

every body will take one.
