A Sketch.

Miss gustina-is a young lady yet
in her teens, and possessed Of great personal be9
ty O which she is well aware. She is not deficient
in intellect although the natural powers Of her
mind have been sadly weakened by the petty tn

and operas occupy her entire thoughts, when she
has not on hand some Irritation TO displace them

Gov. BieIer.

Il Is an oltrepaated assertion that Republics are
pugratcll but the truth Of it we cannot 50 readily
admit. True merit will sooner or later, meet with
It's reward in all cases and in country Is it more
likely to be appreciated than in own Welded
to the institutions of our Government by every tie Of
affection our people are ever ready and anxious to
reward those whose patriotism and intelligence point
them out as worthy OF confidence and not, in the
tire universe can there be found an attachment 50 SIN
cere-a respect so profound as that which is paid to
the nobility Of intellect and heart.
In proof of what we have sad we have only to
point to instances which are fresh in the minds all
JAcKsoS, that man of Pitan rrnness ard expansive
soul who stood firmly by the people when clouds low
cred and troubles ticzened was borne into the Pres
idential office a second time, wave of triumph
FHANCrs R SKUNK, the honezthearted and noblesoul-
ed Governor OF our State by his sincere devotion to
the interests of our citizens became their idol and
chosen for second term OF Office by triumphant
majority, despite the most determined opposition
And the same honest desire to advance the public
welfare has made our present Executive a ayorite
Of the people No man doubt the popularity Of
Wl B1GLEH. Almost every County meeting which
couyeues endorses his acts and asks Tor his re-nom
nation The jeeprooted attachment he has at all
times exhibited for the honor OF State, and the
principles party, bas brought about this result
and hesitate not say that should he be renoui-
mated, he viii sweep the State by majority which
viii only be numbered by thousands.
If we take retrospective glance the past Ele'o
Wu. BIsLEn we shall see much to admire-little 20
condemn Schooed amid the adversities ohpoverty
and compelled in early youth, to his bread by
the sweat Of his brow his sympathies and attach
nleuts are with and for the toiling masses Elevated
on account Of superior merit high official stations
he never forgot the incidents of his youth and in every
he raised his voice for those who tong for
the sustenance they received. As a Legislator as
Senator and Governor his desire has been TO foster
those measures which would best tend TO promote the
interests Of the people
His love for Democracy Is not and cannot bee doubt
ell No man has ever adhered more arIently to the
principles of party than he and il he has erred in his
political course, it has been through a misapprehen-
SION OF duty
Such man we can support with our whole heart.
and we therefore raise MS name to the head OF our
paper where ii shall remain until Convention ofthe
people again decide as to who shall lead US on to bat
tie and to victory and should that convention declare
him be the choice Of the Democratic party ior re
election (Which We have no doubt it viii do) we
shall 90 work for him with as much goodwill and
as high-hopes as ever animated us in political con
test

How do they Live?

This question is frequently asked by persons, who
are not accustomed to the misery wretchedness and
degradation Of large cities, when they contem plate
the thousands who huddlei together in space 50
small that they cannot breathe freely the pure air OF
Heaven. The following article which we clip from
the New York Tf5uae, illustrates the mode by which
many keep body and soul together in that city:

State Senator.

The Johnstown Echo, Of last week, has an article
on this subject which cordially endorse.
The Importance of the next Senatorial contest here
i well known Numbers of the Wing papers of the
State admit that the political complexion OF the
State Senate will depend upon the result in the Coun
ties of Cambria Blair, and Huntingdon, and knowing
the want of harmony which prevails in the ranks Of
their political ates they look forward with doubt TO
the approaching election.
That the whig nominee is unpopular with his par
ty cannot be doubted and that hundreds of the best
in that party will utterly refuse to support him
is equally as certain The fact that he nonina-
ted over the man who was declared the choice OF the
Wings of his own county. is humIiang the party.
