M. A full attendance is desired, as business of importance will be laid before the Committee, j JACOB REED, Chairman. BANKS AND THE TARIFF We took occasion, some weeks since, to re-i mark that a high Tariff would fall short of its j object, "because of the excess of paper money which gives to every thing, except gold and silver, a nominal value equal to double, or more j of its real value, according to the inflation of the time; thus rendering the provision for pro tection against manufacturers, who sell only for > gold and silver, inoperative and void." To this the Abolition editors object, and, calculating that there are other people as ignorant as themselves, J they make our remark the basis of an appeal to , the prejudices—not to the reason—of a certain portion of the community. "Farmers," say they, "do you hear that ? You have been gelling your wheat at a dollar per bushel, and less ; and you are now given to understand that I this is a nominal value, caused by paper money, whilst the real value is only fifty cents per bushel, or less" &.C., &c. Now, it is well known that most of our Banks issue five times as many dollars of paper money as they have specie in their vaults wherewith to redeem such paper issues. The very best of j them issue three times as much as the amount of their gold and silver. What, then, i$ the real value of their notes J Is not one gold dol lar really worth the same as the three dcliar bill issued the Bank which circulates three dollars of its paper far every dollar of specie it has to redeem its issues' Most assuredly no one will deny this. Well, then, ii • aushel ul wheat is sold for SI.OO of this Bank's paper, does it not really sell for only 33J cents in spe cie ' Suppose that the farmer who sells his wheat at a dollar per bushel, lakes his pay in the notesof a Bank which issues three dollars of paper for every dollar of its specie, and sup pose that when this Bank is about collapsing be fore the pressure of its creditors, as manv did last Fall, hp tries to have his notes redeemed at its counter, what will be the result ? How much will he realize for his wheat ? Why, in the first place he will find the Bank-doors clo sed in his face, and his paper, for the lime being, worth just nothing at all. Intheserond place, should his Bank go into liquidation and pay a pro rata to the note-holders, he will just get thirty three and a third cents per dollar for his Bank-notes, minus certain contingent expenses attendant upon the collection of the same. This would be selling wheat at full price with a vengeance' Would not our farmers, therefore, much pre fer to have a currency on which they could re ly as firm and solid and representing a value no less than that stamped upon it by the coiner's die ? Had we such a currency, then wheat would be worth a dollar when sold for a dollar, and Tariff discriminations could be made with some effect, in favor of our mineral and interests ; but, so long as we have the inflated issues of speculating Banks as the basis of our business operations, the whole fabric of our finance rests upon a sandy foundation. THE DEFENDERS OF THE BANKS True to the policy of their party, the Aboli tion editors around the corner, are readv at all times to defend the Banks, those rotten institu tions which tumble down every few years and drag with them the business and prosperity of the country. This is not stiange, however, as their anti-democratic doctrines are, of cours-, more favorable to the interests of aristocratic corporations than to those of the masses who toil for their daily bread. And, then, too, they need the aid ot the Banks to carry on their electioneering and to debauch weak members ofthe Legislature when {!. S. Senators are to b elected. Therefore, they needs must slick to the Banks. "IMPORTANT QUERIES." Under this caption the editors of the Aboli j tion organ, in their last issue, ask a number of questions concerning the indebtedness of our ' county and the expenses incurred in keeping iup our public buildings, fee., Ac. They pretend to be very much exorcised for the economical j administration of our county affairs, thinking, j Jno doubt, that by raising the cry of extrava-i j gance against the Board of Commissioners, they i i will be able to make a vote, or two, for their ' ! fidiv catuiidafe, (Trout,) at the coming election. ' • i he game is a very sharp one, hut it is also one j at which none but men of truth and honor can i : play successfully. Editors who do not hesitate ; |to publish such deiibeiate falsehoods as that j which lately appeared in the Abolition organ, charging the Democratic party with being oppo- j sed to Christianity, and thus writing themselves J (down not -,,y as will'ui, unblushing falsifier*, ! j but also as the most consumms'e fools alive, had : j better not take a hand in thi® game. They are j not only too reckless, but they are too av\ kward, to lay hold of the edge-tools with which it I ' must he played. But, as they have rashlv at- 1 'tempted it, and that, too, without anv bant.-r J from any person, or party, they can blame none i but themselves if they g-t their fingers cut j before they are through with it. are asked by these pinks of economy, i "how many thousands of dollars were borrowed J last Spring " If they mean to ask how rmich ! money was borrowed by the County , at that ! time, we can tell them without the least liitfi j cully. Jt was just enough to pay off the in j debtedne.ss to the State, of the tale JJbolition | County Treasurer, who is one of the immaccu i late economists that set up this piteous ullula ! tion about the County expenses. Had this i I bungling fellow done his duty and managed the County Treasury in a proper manner during his the County would not havp been compelled : pay $'2500.00 to the State, as it was forced to do, a few weeks before he went out ofoffice, and ! which it could do only by resorting to a loan. | The reason for the borrowing of money bv the Commissioners, last Spring, lies at the door ol (his model Abolition Treasurer and all his bare- ! falsehoods cannot shift it anywhere cdsj^f Our Abolition querists also propound some ' questions concerning repairs that are being made ! to the Court House, Jail, N.c., and insinuate that : 1 they are made only to -'pension off" a certain gentleman who saw fit to desert their organiza tion and join the Democracy. Now these re pairs are ali necessary, and on the principle that I "a stitch in time saves nine," there will be mo ney saved to the County, by having them made now. The Abolitionists, no doubt, would ra 'heir use the vaults of the Court House olhces as rendezvous of secret political societies, than ! keep the public buildings from becoming roof less and rotten, as the Democratic Commission j ersare trying'todo. As to pensioning any bad ;y, the Democratic party lias no pensioners !• neither has it any Tom Fords to act as its agents j in purchasing venal Know Nothing Editors. We beg pardon of our readers for thus refer ring at length to these wery"important queries;'' ! they really did not require an answer at rur ; hands, but they gave us such a good opportunity jof showing up the holbwness of Abolition pre- I tensions to economy, t hat we could not resist j giving them a full broad-side. ONE OF THE ITEMS. j The Abolition clique of this Borough, which i Controls th- Opposition to the Democratic par- ■ j ty in this county and parcels out the dirty work ; for the township politicians, is trying to hum- ! j bug the people, by charging extravagance upon | the County Commissioners, herein imilaiing the \ l exploded trickery of certain unprincipled Abo lition Congressmen. In connexion with their j lucubrations on thin subject, it would be well , enough for these Abolitionists to show whv it is that ever since the Opposition had a majori ty in the Board of Commissioners, Bedford j County has been struggling under a load of debt ? As their memory on this subiert will, j doubtless, fail them, we will give litem an item ; in the bill of expenditures incurred by their board of Commissioners, which, perhaps, will : enable them to trace out the causes of the entire \ ■i n debt ed n ess of Ibe ( ounly. W have rcfer , ciice to the PRINTING OF ONE HONORED : Qi IRES 01 BLANKS, enough to supply the t Commissioners' Office for ten years, given to 1 the publisher of the Abolition organ by this! precious board of Opposition Commissioners. | This is but one of the items in the bill ot the i j County's indebtedness, but it serves to show ! what paitv it is that recklessly squanders the i people's money. AN\ 101S FOR TIIE LOAN. We clip the following from the Bedford Abo- I lit ion organ of Ja*t Winter: "We have received intelligence that the Act j ; authorizing the Commissioners of Bed lord Coun- ! ty to borrow money, has passed the House, (it had previously passed the Senate,) and has been signed by the Governor. It is now a law. JVo ] better, or safer investment could be made by I those who have money to loan. Mil is not tax*a- j , ble: and the interest can be quarterlv,or j half yearly." : Here we have the same-h/pocrilical dema ! gogues who are now niakjrjf such a dreadful ado about the money by theCountv la>t Spring, allowing, in language unmistakeable, j their anxiety that the lo#i should Vp made. | They wre not at a! kroner rued then, as to the ! sum of money that was to be borrowed. No ! they almost leaped for joy when they received l the "intelligence" the Legislature had en j abled the County to borrow money. Jubilate! j "It is now a law!" they cried, and the Aboli tion Treasurer snapped bis bleared eyes in J ecstasy. We,alt), have in Ihisextatic little article, j some pretty strong proof that our County af -1 fair# are prudently and properly administered by Democratic officer l '. If those who have 1 money to Irnd, could make "no belter, or safer | investment'' than by lending it to the Com mis- j sioners, is not the County perfectly solvent and j are not its finances in a sound condition ? V eri- ' ly, it must be so, despite the distressing fears i entertained on the subject by the Abolition or- j Igan, that "f.-arles? and ftV thunderer pro j | bono publico. The Ihiiiocr.ih heller Tariff Jlen than tiie <||>o*ilivii. - ; The TarifTof 184-G was a Democratic m-as- ) | ure and was endorsed by the Democratic parly I |in every Slate of the Union. Whi Ist it was , in existence, the country enjoyed unbounded ( prosperity, and therefore, the Democracy were ; willing that it should continue unmolested.— | Not so the Abolitionists. Af soon as they got j ; the control of the Lower House of Congress, | | in which all revenue measures must originate, j ! they forthwith reduced the rates of this Demo- j i cratic Tariff. Tin Tariff which we have now \ is lower than the Democratic Tariff' of ISIG, find was made so in/ the roles of , 'lbo/if ion Con i pressmen. Therefore, the Democrats are better I ; Tarifl men than the Opposition. Let this be ' I borne in mind when the supporters of FREE j TRADE READ attempt to palm themselves i, Upon the people as Tariff men. CONGRESSIONAL. The Democracy of Franklin County, at their j late Mass Meeting at Cbambeisburg, appointed ! Conferees to the Democratic Congressional Con - j ference for this District, and instructed them to support our present able Congressman, HON. | WILSON RKILLY, for re-nomination. Thev also j passed a resolution fixing the time for the meet- j I ing of the Conference, on Thursday, the second [ | day of September next, and the place of meef j ing at Chambereburg, provided the other coun . ties of the District will concur in the arrange- j metlt. NOMINATED We neglected noticing last week that the Abolitionists of this District have nominated a man named McPherson (Edward McPherson. ( \ve believe,) ot Adams county, a> their candi date for Congress. We are rejoiced at this i nomination, as he is decidedly the weakest man (Jordan alone excepted) that aspired to the nomination. FULTON COUNTY. The Democracy' of Fulton have nominated a strong ticket. JOHN SHARER, ESQ., for Assem bly, will make an excellent tun, and we doubt not, will be elected. Our young friend, C. M. BARTON, E>Q., is the candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. The gallant Democracy of Fulton j will certainly rally to the support of a ticket composed of men like these. Abolition organ exults at the suppo sed failure ofthe Straight American movement in I Philadelphia, and contemptuously declares that it his "ALL ENDED IN SMOKE." NOW, it is N-J-S,, true that the Straight Amei icans of Philadel phia have given up the id. a ol forming a dis tinctive ticket. They are the strongest wing of the Opposition in that city, and will not al low their individuality to be swallow ed up by any party, especially not by the Abolitionists- But why is it that the Abolition organ is so jubilant over what it in jr.. poses to be the end of Americanism ? I? it not because it must l\;l- I ft! its part ofthe Largain of 1556, by doing ail in its power to destroy the American organiza tion and iheiehv build up Abolitionism ' DR. KEYSER, of Pittsburg, will be in Bed ford on .Saturday, with a large assortment of ! TRUSSES, SUPPORTERS and SHOULDER. BRACES.! and will apply them to such persons as may need his services. He has a Truss which in a great many cases, will peiform a radical cure i of Hernta or Rupture. In every case of reduce, able Hernia he promises entire retention and security. Dr. Keyser will stop at Mr. Hafer's Hotel and will remain one week. He also has a small instrument which he has found \erv useful in some case, of deafness. IF Whilst on a visit to Buffalo .Mill, j n (his county, a few days ago, we took occasion to j call at the school of MR. HENRY B.

How consistent they are ! In Massachusetts, they elected two Free Trade U. S. Senators in place of Tariff men—one in New York—one or two in lowa—one in Illinois—one in Wis consin—one or two in Ohio—yet they favor protection ! In this State, last fall, I hey ran Wilmot, a Free Trade man, for Governor. Now they have John M. Read, a free trade man, at the head of their ticket, and yet they pretend to be for protection. In 184-6," John M. Read and other leadinq Free Trade men of Philadel phia, wrote a letter to George M. Dallas, con gratulating him for having voted for the Tariff o( 46 !

Notwithstanding the outcrv of the opposition j ptess, it will be found, upon a retrospect of the action of t Congress, that it lias effected more j than many of its late predecessors, and it lias sustained the Administration, to the satisfaction I of the country. it must be understood that the present reve nue system is the work of the Republican Con gress of '.)(>, and was carried through that body by the urgency of a hired lobby, which numbered among its leaders, Weed and Webb, ! and among its instruments in the House, Matte son and Banks,and other Republican chiefs.— The deficiencies in the customs are chargeable therefore, to those who framed that financial measure, and who were paid to give away the j revenues of the government to manufacturing, capitalists. The present Administration will test the new system thoroughly before attemp ting its amendment ; but if the yield of duties is not enough to suffice for the legitimate expen ses of government, will recommend its altera tion. The Administration, when it came into pow er. had on its hands the Kansas question. It has suppressed tillibusterism and put down the spirit of disunionism which prevailed in an extreme section. It found a quasi rebellion in Utah on it- hands and it has put a stop to this, and removed a dangerous element to our future power, without any strain of its constitu'.iouaUpower, without bloodshed and at little cost. It has vindicated the national honor, insulted j by British assumption, and has compelled s|uib lie apologies on the pail of the Biitish ministry lor acts of disrespect to oui flag. It has arrayed itself against the importation I ol African or Asiatic apprentices, which some at the South, emulous of the conduct of the Bri tish and French, who have revived ihe slave trade in this form, sought the countenance of j govern men", for. It has brought in the new i'r.-e State of Min nesota, in spite of the opposition, and passed tluough the Senate a bill to a.id Oregon to lhe galaxy of fry States—a biii that encounter ed ttie saw.* opMEdjp on the part of the miscall ed Republican Senators.

HON. WILLIAM A. PORTER. We last week published an able and excel lent article, taken from one of our exchanges, in reference to the "age" of the distinguished •gentleman whose name heads thi* paragraph, friable, as yet, to point out a single object ion to him as regards his legal ability, or Ins nri vate character, the opposition j mriials have been forced to take the absurd and ridiculous position that lie is /no yauiig to entrust with the important duties of the judiciary. The old fog v ism of such an attack upon our nominee, insulting to the young and active intellects ot this great commonwealth, has been properly disposed of hy the ai tic!- we have alluded to. ! and we feel confident that it w ill meet with a more stern and decided lelmke from the people a! the polls. Since the nomination of Judge POUTER by the Democratic State Convention, we have carefully looked over the ground,ami every day we see the strongest evidences of the wisdom of thai body iu placing him on the Democratic ticket. Fhere is no doubt in our mind of his being able to poll as rnanv Demo cratic votes, as any candidate that could have! been selected. His superior attainments, his j unbending integrity, and his amiable and agree- ; able deportment, have secured to him hosts of friend;' throughout the State, who will bravely struggle lor his success. The calm and digni fied manner in which he refused, alter his ar>- pointment by Gov. Packer, to drag the judi cial ermine into tlu-aiena of politics, has won the respect and confidence of all parties, and gives the positive assurance that, in no event will he permit the purity of the Bench, so far as he ran prevent it, to be soiled by the thick dust raised by scullling partisans. In fact he has already gained the appellation of the "model Judge," and the people of Pennsylvania will attest their high appreciation of his worth as a man, and his character as a lawyer, hv keeping him in the lofty position which he now so sig nally adorns. His opponent, JOHN M. READ, of Philadelphia, is a gentleman of considerable ability'. Until a few years past he was an ac tive and bitter Democrat. In consequence of ims abolition tendencies, he abandoned our na tional party when Black Republicanism sprung ; into existence, and he has been rewarded lor his treason by being made the leader of the very men to whom he was personally - antago- j nistic during a long and earnest political IDe. He was unable to secure the delegates from his ! own city, who were instructed for Judge Tomp- ; son; but being the favorite candidate of Thad- I deus Stevens, this adroit ar.d cunning polisi- ■ ; ctan managed to pull the wires in such away as to secure the selection of his friend and ally.
