In town, the American Flag streamed grace
fully and peacefully from suspensions, across the
streets, in front of Mrs. Litzinger's Hotel, and
from the roof of the patriot and soldier Mr..
Andrew Lewis, who we are told keeps his own
flag and certain we are, it earliest in catching
''the gleam of the mornings first beam"
The town band made music-the company of
Capt. B. McDerInitt paraded in amanner that told
how well they have been disciplined, and the day
passed with but little or no accident, excepting
the explosion Of small Mexican field piece, (Which
was one of the trophies brought home by the citi-
zen soldiers of this place,) and the burning Of the
fingers of some of the dauntless boys, engaged in
the fun of exploding fire crackers and powder.
At night respectable little exhibition of fire
works, north of the town, gave pleasure and en-
tertainment to many spectators, until late hour
when repose again settled upon the scene.

and vigorous youth can command. We are aware
that designing politicians encouraged by the
presentatives of secret organizations are publicly
and secretly plotting for his defeat, but we have
too much confidence in the mass of the people to
fear their Vaccinations. There can be no reason
given why Democrat should not support Cover
nor Bgler this year, with the same zeal and earn
estness that he did three years since.
As a Governor he has shown himself to be an
able and impartial officer, and Democrat he
has carried out the professions Of his party, in all
acts Of his administration, during his term of Of
office We can understand why Wing politician
would seek his defeat, and why that Whig politi-
clan would attempt to array against him religious
and sectional prejudices-his motives are easily d-
vined-he desires his place to be filled by a mem
Der of his party But that a single Demo
crat should desert Bigler seems to us Incompetent
sible-such course would give too much power
to cunning on the one side, and exhibit too much
weakness on the other.
Democrats are not disposed to pursue a course
without some show of reason for it, and we are,
therefore, unwilling to believe any statement that
he will mo- receive the united support of the entire
Democratic Party of the Commonwealth. We ask
that Gov. Bgel and Mr.. Pollock be tried before
the people on their ewn merits, and 5n the merits
Of the parties they Represent and in th..t
need not say that we abide the result with the ut
most confidence. The verdict in fFor of Bigler
and Democracy would be thousands-aye, tens of

The Gubernatorial Canvass.

On glancing on our country exchanges
throughout this State, we are much gratifed
to notice the animated and Jealous spirit which
characterizes their support to the State ticket.
The same spirit is abroad which has on MANY
occasions heretofore marshalled overwhelming
majorities into our ranks and it is not unsafe
to predict that it viii do so now confident and
elated as the friends of Mr. Pollock may ap
pear to be, by the success of the opposition
ticket at the recent election in this city. they
must remember that zone swallow does not
make a summer" that an anti-Democratio
victory in Philadelphia has on dozens of occa
sions heretofore been achieved without being
accompanied or followed by Democratic de-
feat in Pennsylvania and that it is much
easier task for them TO retain possession of
their old Wing stronghold than to wrest the
the political power of the State from those
who have long and in the main wisely and be
nefcially welded it.

GOV NOR BIGLE

The Democratic party Of Pennsylvania never
had a candidate who was more deserving Of their
energetic and enthusiastic support than the gentle
man who IS now their standard bearer in the com
ing contest, Personally there is no man in the
Commonwealth who presents a stronger claim for
popular suffrage than William Bigler The same
moral rectitude-the same republican PRINCIPLES
that characterized the poor young man-the .swi-
dow's son''-struggling against the current Of the
world, unaided save by his own ndomitable will
now form the leading features Of the Statesman.
now fills the Gubernatorial chair of the State of
Pennsylvania
The Governor has not lost one of the sterling
qualities that were possessed by the humble and
adventurous youth-pubc life has only strength
ened him in his virtues and given those virtues the
advantage ofexpenence. The elevation Of such
man to posts of honor beautiful tributes to the
working OF our republican system, which recog-
nzes no station elevated that it cannot be reach
ed by the humblest individual, who need only pos
sess intellectual and moral qualifications Such
man Bigler should not be sacrificed in the fever
of a contcst-should not be bargained off bv
union Of discordant interests that seek power at
every sacrifice. He should not be tried bv other
mans fallings or short cornings, but on his own
merits as man and public officer. To establish
any other issue would be unjust and also unworthy
of the honest and fair dealing people of Pennsvl-
vauia
The young men Of Pennsylvania-the sons Of
the hardy citizens who have justly been termed the
"bone and sinew" of the Commonwealth-shou
constitute themselves the guardians of the fame of
the craftsman of Clearfeld," and should labor for
his election with all the energy that determined

N o S A L E!

The proposition to sell the Main Line, which
excited so much discussion in and ont Of the Le-
gisIature, last winter, and which at last ma
tured into law, has failed for want Of bidders.
Up till the 8rd inst. at y O'Clock the Governor
was in readiness to receive proposals, but none
being offered, the books were closed.
Thus again have Democratic men and measures
been sustained by the facts Of the case developed
as had been predicted long before, by the EXecu-
tive and other distinguished Democrats
Nothing can now be done until further
legislation is had on the subject, and in all
probability the result will be the adoption of Go
vernon Bigler's original plan of remodeling the
mode of management heretofore in use for the
public works and retaining them for the benefit of
the state.
At all events the position Of the Governor Is
wise, consistent and just what the friends of his
administration and of this Commonwealth desire
it to be. Unwilling to contravene the manifest
intent of the legislature, and what appeared to be
the more popular sentim ent he signed the bill for
the sale of the main line, although in effect, he
might as we'll have followed his own views and We
toed it.
3 Governor Bigler's administration is essentially
distinguished for moderation, prudence and wis
dom, having for his pole star the peoples wishes
and best interests and it is in vain that polit-
cal enemies attempt to raise quarrel between him
and his majority in the state. They rely on schis
matte causes to work out the election Of Pollock
But where, let us ask, is the schism that is ready
to attack an officer whose best recommendation is
the tests to which he has been submitted and by
which he has been proved among the most discreet
of all our Governors2 Will temperance men op-
pose him? He is a better temperance man than
Pollock, practically temperance man, and as
much in favor of just and wise prohibition of in
toxicating liquors he. VIII that mysterious
sect, called Know Nothings oppose him? As De
mocrats and Americans they dare not, for they can
find nothing whereof to accuse him. And as for
that crazy, disunion, higher law mobocracy known
abotonists, they are little to be dreaded being
too frantic for action too discordant for effect As
soon need we fear the opposition ofHarrettBeecher
Stowe, Lucy Stone and company, If hostile to us,
as these scarecrow factions, which on the day of
election will have vanished like host of ephemeral
flies.

Up the Susquehanna
sUNBURY AND ERIE ROAD.

SbNBbh1 AND EiIE hDAD.
." This road is going on rapidly, and is nox
nearly completed from Sunbury to Williams
port. From this place there is a railroad
partly completed, on large portion Of which
are now running, to intersect the New
York and Erie railroad at Corning The
Susguehanna railroad, from Harrisburg to
Sunbury, will certainly be completed at no
very distant day, completing chain of rail-
road between Baltimore and Central New
York. Nothing can excel the appearance of
activity now displayed on the Susquehanna
and its Western Bianch The Canal IS doina,
prosperous business. Boats are passing as
rapidly as they can be sent through the locks,
freighted with coal and lumber in immense
quantities. TO give an idea of the coal trade
now springing up in this direction, hitherto
mostly confined to the East of the river, it is
stated that the Treverton Coal Company are
erecting works for the delivery of coal at the
canal, on the West Branch of the river, at an
expense of about half million of dollars
Among these may be noticed more particu-
larly, the bridge across the Susquehanna, of
which the peers only are completed, fourteen
in number. Considering, that IFS cost viii
be equal TO that of nearly all the bridges az
Pittsburgh, and that it is expected 20 be
profitable investment, merely for the business
of a single coal company, we may form some
estimate of the magnitude of the trade of this
region of country.

announced the marriage of Gen. Persifer
F. Smith (the gallant officer who planned
the battle and commanded at Chepulte-
pec) with Mrs. Armstrong. the widow OF
Major F. w. Armstrong, son of the Ia
mented General Robert Armstrong, late
publisher and proprietor Of the Union
This is a mistake. Major Armstrong was
the brother, not the son, OF the late Cen
-eral. Mr.. J. N. Armstrong, son Of the
General, married a sister of the lady who
was recently united in wedlock 10 Gen
Smith. J. n. Armstrong is still living
and was, when last heard from by hi.
friends in this city, in good health. The
maiden name of these ladies was Willard
and they were originally from Leonard
