THE WHIG: OANBIBATES. T h e Troy Times gives us a glance at the W hig candidate for , G o v e rnor: M r. Clark, the candidate for Gover nor* was a leader of the Maine L a w P a rty in the State Senate last W inter. H e resides in Canandaigua, was former ly sheriff of Ontario county, and for m any years a h a rdw a re m erchant in the village of Canandaigua.. H e was es teemed during our acquaintance o f many years .with him, as a good Citizen and excellent business m an. W o ven ture to say, that five years ago, his w arm est political and personal friends could hot have a n ticipated, in the wild est dreams of imagination. ■ t h a t bei would ever rise to political eminence.—■ H e certainly has n e ith e rilh e education or experience of the statesraan* though he possesses good, practical common sense. H e is a Seward politician- “ a ll T h e Troy Budget thus portrays the L ieutenant;— M r. Raymond, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is a m an of de cided talent, and m a k e s . a n excellent presiding officer, but his political asso ciates have hitherto had but slight con fidence in bis poli^eal integrity.- In deed he is known among them as the *• L ittle J e suit,” op account of his un reliability, or rather, as they term it. “ slipperiness” on political m a tters.— W hile Clark, the candidate for Gover nor, was voting to pass the Maine Law bill over the Governor's veto, Ray mond, in his Times, sustained the po sitions o f th a t veto, a n d ridiculed Clark and his Maing^ law friends for their fa natical course bn the question. So the Convention, in nom inating two men with directly diverse opinions of the M aine.law, played a Jesuitical part,, a s well by presenting tfie pair together as by nom inating “ T h e L ittle Jesuit” for Lieutenant Governor, in particular.— But we don’t set Raymond dawn as an Anti-M aine law man, on principle. It is bis habit to be everything by turns and nothing long, or no longer than it suits his ambitious purposes. H e >vill now endeavor to set bis sails in the way to get the most wind, w h atever way th a t may be. THE WHIG HESOLBTIOKS- T h e Syracuse Standard rem a rks upon the resolutions o f the W hig State Con vention :— “ The resbiutionf, take» together,• are a compound of h ypocrisy, falsehood and bombast-—full of high-sounding phrases, but essentially non-com m ittal in every particular. L e t the reader scan each resolution attentively, and see i f we are not correct. T h e only spot where they come to a point, is in the ninth resolution, where i t is declar ed th a t the W higs of New Y o rk will labor for the overthrow of the n a tional administration,^—in other words, th a t they want the offices, and a re determin* ed to get them, if possible. This, how ever, will be no news to any one.— These partizans opposed the election of Pierce, and .it is expected they will quarrel with him to the end. T h e dis pute has no connection with his policy. T h e y were content with T a y lor’s ad- Hiintstration, notw ithstanding i t occu pied the exact position of the present one on the slavery question, because they secured the pap thereby.' A whig adm inistration now, with the same t e r ritorial policy as Pierce's would meet with the like favor from them , provided the offices followed their obedience to it. Giddings n ever told a greater truth than in fiis late speech a t E rie, Pa.,, when he declared th a t “ the W hig party out o f power, is the most radical anti slavery party in the country; but the moment it gets in, presto change, it is then more ultra pro-slavery than the 'D em o cratic party dare be.” D elegates to the C ounty Coj VENTION.— T h e following, p ersons have been chosen Delegates to th© County Convention : Herkimer—Sacoh M .

H e was much given to administering emetics, and having a very delicate patient, resorted as usual to this method o f cure, leaving in the hands of the patient's brother three strong doses of emetic, which he directed should be administered at in tervals of three hours. The brother,, finding the first powder bad no imme- dfoW effect, gave the unfortunate inval id tire remaining two within five min utes, .T h e result w.-is violent sickness., succeeded by spasms and cram p , which in a few hours term inated fatally.—^ Ne.vt day, the d o c to r was astonished to I learn, on inquiry, that his patient was- ;t1ead, and evinced his concern in bis face. “ N e v e r m iad,*’ s a id th e brother,. “ it was so fated : but, M a shalial you are a great doctor; the medicine you g a v e n e v e r ceased o p e r a tin g till ihe moment of my brother's death.
