Resolved, That the inevitable eftott of this scheme must be, when it has gone' into full operation, to olace almost thei whole specie of the country in the handy I of the officers of the government, to be con'roled by them in the business of per. petuatin4 their own power, to the great' embarrassment of the operations of trade a.oll commerce. Resolved, That not satisfied with an army of civil dependants, our peace lov ing President, who voted tar be Wilt Clinton, against hales Madison, must have a standing army of military depend.. ants, created tar a hotly guard, to obey his republican comman.la. • Reeolvcd, Thit to sleep any longer over the burning crater that is below us, would be inexcusable criminality ; and that we will arouse with the energy of an outraged people, and hurl our unfaithful stewards from their stations, and substi tute such as have proved faithful to every ti ust confided to them, Resolved, That the calumnies uttered by the official organ of Mr. Van Buren, against W H. 11ARRISON, who for his toil in his country's cause, for his disin terested devotion to her interests, deserves the warmest thanks and fullest approba-! tion of the American people, are suffici-1 ent to condemn him before an enlighten ed and intelligent people, are full evi-1 dence of his total destitution of a love of country, and fellow countrymen, such as shonld fill the heart of an American free man of the lowest rank, much less one who would ask the suffrage of the people for the biggest office in their gift. • Revived, That the history of our coon try, given by men, now in the opposition, ranks, when they were the chroniclers of the times during the late war, and since, tells us what they then thought of Gen. 1 Wm. H. Harrison. That they then con-! sitiered him worthy of all praise, aye, and some—many of them—all of them who have a spark of honor, or a drop of patri otic blook in their veins, yet continue to say, that he is a competent general, a brave soldier, and an able statesman. Resolved, That the history of the West for the last forty years, is fraught with blessings, which follow his labors and hard earned fame ; and that in crowning him with the highest earthly honor, we will crown our National government with equal honor, and ourselves with comforts and blessings which be long to freemen, only, when goverand by one who made them free. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Williamson, and unanimously adop ted as a part of the proceedings. Resolved, That the present crisis of our common country requires, that indi vidual preferences, and particular opin ions and interests should not be permitted to endanger, or in any detract from the advancing and attainment of the great, important, and vital interests of the Uni on,—the cause of Harrison, and the re• form of the administration of the General Government; but that all minor consid erations should be merged, anti give way to advance and attain those great objects, and every friend of Harrison in the State, should, and is earnestly called upon to vote the regular nominated Harrison Tic kets. Resolved, That the proceedings of this Pivoting be signed by the officers. ( Signed by the officers.) MELANCHOLY DISASTER, The Portland Advertiser gives the fol lowing account of a heart rending occur rence which took place in that harbor on Tuesday afternoon: FIVE ' YOUNG LADIES DROWNED.—The Banner, ale ays considered one of the safest and best boats belonging to the city left the wharf early in the afternoon, to visit the three ships composing the squad ron which left us yesterday. The frigate we believe had been visited, and a sail was proposed in the harbor. lit three o'- clock the Banner had visited Hog Island, and those on board had landed, At half past three the boat was makind way for the city, 4' when ,ibout one hundred rods from the Island, a white squall, as it is called, struck the top of the sail, which was not perceived or felt by those on board, except in the capsizing of the the boat. The Banner went down stern fore most, leaving the bows above water,— There were nine persons on board—five loungiladies in the cuddy, another young ady in the stern—who .vas saved—two men and a lad fifteen or sixteen years of age. The young ladies in the cuddy were drowned and seemingly death was but the work of an instant. The persons saved, placed themselves on the tender to the Banner, the first assistance camee, from those on board the Water Lily it; strong, safe and excellent boat, belonging to Mr. S. Davis. The Water Lily made way for the Ban! ner with all pusoible dispatch, but the ills-i tance was so great that some minutes pas-1 sed before he came along side. The, tender with the survivors was near by but all on board seemingly were stupifle.l with firight. The sad story was soon told and every effort vaa made fur the speedy rescue of the bodies in the cuddy bithe Banner. The first attempt was made to tow the boat ashore. This could nut be done, and en effort was then made to res cue the boat. The effort was partly suc cessful no:i four bogies tears taken from the cuddy end placed on board the Wate Lily. The Banner sunk a second time but was raised a third time by new pur chases. The fifth body was rescued b‘ cutting a hole through the top of the cud ily, and the last of the young ladies—life. less as the resit—was placed with her kin. tired ass; , ..iates, but a few moments since Clove and happy, on the deck of the Water Lily. The bodies were placedbesitl. each other, and the spectacle presented the heartrending contrast of a brief hall hour--we need not picture to oar readers. Every etThrt was made by Dr. Barrett to restore We to the apparently dead, but In rain and so sudden was the work of the fell destroyer, that even the jewels which adorned the fingers of the young ladies dropped from them the moment their bodies were brought to the light of day.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE That Mertin Van Buren opposed the war of 1812, and did all he could do tu defeat the election of the patriotic Madi son, thus showing to the world, love of Federal doctrines and his hatred of De, tnocracy. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That at the time when the fleets of England plundered our ships, and impres sed our seamen, the thoughts of Martin Van Buren were still in favor of peace, thus showing the inherent cowardice of his suffering fellowcitizens. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren, in the Con vention to amend the Constitution of N. York, made a speech in favor of a proper ty qualification, and urged in justification of excluding Revolutionary soldiers from the right of suffrage, that it made no din', erence how unjust it might appear to the lold veterans, who would all be dead in the course of fifteen years. KEEP IT BEEL/RE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren holds the aria• tocratic doctrine, that property alone, not talent or usefulness to society, qualifies a man to have a voice in the choice of their rulers. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That the whole of the 27 foreign mon archies from which Mr. Van Buren asks directioa how he shall administer the af fairs of the republic, approve of his princi plea and would rejoice, should he succeed in reducing the people of the only free na tion on earth to a level with their own ! obedient and degraded subjects. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Van Buren has confessed in his last annual message, that twenty-two of tho despotic Kings and Emperors of Eta rope, approved fully of the Sub. Treasury scheme, by which three-fourths of the peo ple's earnings will be transferred to the pockets of the office holders. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren is, at.this mo ment, to all intents and purposes, a mon arch, wanting only the power to prevent the people from expressing their disappro bation of his iniquitous designs. KEEP IZ BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That he is now exerting his energies to obtain this power by creating a standing army-of two hundred thousand men, to be used for the purpose of putting down all “combinations," or, in other words, 'con ventions" of the people, thereby vielatin• z the Constitution, which guarantees to all citizens the right, peaceably to assemble , and take owe- ores to have those grteva n . ces BRANDRETHIAN SYS t'EM, If there be any person who honestly doubt the truth of the Brandrethian Sys tern, we would entreat them to ponder well upon the following facts: The food taken into the stomach is con verted into blood, which vital stream, flowing through all the ramifications of the system, not only imparts strength and continues life, but actually creates, forms, and bolds up each and every part of the animal machine. If the blood, therefire, is pure and healthy, the body which is formed from and supported by the blood, cannot be diseased. If there is a single pain or ache in any part, it proves we have no health. Nothing can be more absurd than to say we have 'bad health.' Dr. Biandreth's Vegetabli — Universal Pills enjoy the enviable distinction of be ing leafed and hated by the Medical Fac ulty, because they are destroying disease and spreading health and consequent hap piness through the length and breadth of our beloved country.

MILES. of Huntingdon. JOSEPH NS, of Hollidaysburg C OMMISRION ER KENZEY L. GREEN, of Springfield ADLIT9R, ALEX AN DE It' I-10M PSON, of Tia rrev OUR TICKET AND OURSELVE:, It is with no little degree of pain, dm we learn from a source we have no reason, to doubt, that a portion of thosi who claim to be our friends, have seized hold of tht circumstance, that our paper was not pub lished for two weeks, to say, that we war. not in favor of, nor willing to support thi ticket nominated by oar county convert Lion. However painful such annual suspiri ons from certain srclinns may be, we herd them nut. Our coarse has ever been m ward, and forw;:rd, never faltering in th, path of duty. And we have to say to al such "pin's head heal ts," that they, nto their conduct can ever prove a goblin: star to us. . Tl,ey are the mere creatur.•, of impulse, rushitv; headlong into opposi_ lion or support of any and every measure,. regardless alike of policy or principle.—: They may spend as much of their spleen upon us as will satisfy them, and we will smile at their arrogance and folly. _ _ For five years have we conducted the "Journat,"and during that time, we defy soy man, either friend or foe, to put his finger upon one act indicative of want of decision of character. We have ever been fearless and faithful in the cause of right; yet, notwithstanding, we are sul ject, al most annually, to the paltry suspicions of little minds. This thing or that thing does not meet their views of o:iposition or sup port. We may as well, once for all, tell them, that we are above and beyond their notions of consistency and right. Now as to our ticket, it shall receive from us a most cordial and hearty support. Ne have learned long ago, to be a Dein - ocrat--to obey the will of the pe.ple'm re presentatives. If they have not obeyed the will of their constiments, it has bevn because the people have not attended to their duly, as we have alp ays requested, them to do—that is by attending the pri 'mary meetings, and there selecting men who they louts would fulfill their wishes. We are willing to say that things have ieen done, that our views of propriety would not recommend. Yet by the peo ple's representatives they have been pre. nuunced unobjectionable. Like every good soldier in a good cause, we obey out commander—the people. Nor shall the unjust censure or suspicions of any one drive us front that course. We believe that there is too much depending upon the present contest, to allow any thing, except the great good to the whole nation to predominate. We shall go for the ticket--the whole ticket— and nothing but the ticket, with a (steady firmness, that shall make some of the suspicious blush for their own political integrity.—So much fur the ticket. The times are out of joint; and every man who advocates certain notions of go vernment from principle, will lay down his personal and sectional differences. and go with a determination of success in to the strife, to carry out those views (which he believes will tend to the im provement of every thing. We have been led to some of these re marks, from the fact that we are told that letters have been received in this town' exciting the suspicions, as to our 'course, and we have here tnswered them.--So much tor ourselves. THE TALL POLE. Never a very great friend of the syt tem of pole raising, yet willing at all times to agree with the wishes of the many, on Saturday last we, with a host of oth. ers, met in our borough for the purpose of putting up a "tall pole." One wasp! e. cored and placed upon the ground 154 feet long, anti arrangements made to erect it, bearing aloft the names of Harmon and Tyler. With willing hearts and stout hands, the multitude seized it, and commenced (raising it, when at the height of about (thirty feet, it broke, and down came flag,' cider-barrel, calabash, soon skin and all; and then up went the hearty laugh of our Van Buten friends, joined with that of the good natured, ha l ha I of our par. tisans. No body—no nothing was har. teed. The exultation of the Van Buren men was, we doubt not, a little increased ow ing to the mishap to their own “Hichory," which now 'Wands coming" as we might say in our borough. Or as we say, evi tletitly leaning toward Kinderhook. Ours was a tall pole, but certainly not as tall a poll as we bid( give them to look at after next October; and it is possi ble, that this is the reason it broke, as not sufficiently indicative of the poll at the e• lection,—any how it broke. CQ — ON SA ILTROAY OF NEXT WEEK, another pole will be raised ini this borough; and as far as human judg. :neat can go, every thing will made s,cure. It will be erected at precinely ONE O'CLOCK ON SATUI?DAY 7HE 19th SEPTEMBER. 11 e shalt .;xpect some of our county friends to ! •ome and see it go up. LOCO FOCO COP. GRESSMAN. The Van •Buren men of this district lave nominated Gen. A. I'. Wilson, of lus place, as their candidate for Congress. le is the candidate of a party whose pa. itical notions we consider at war with he best interest of society. If he be e - ectc4l, and carries out the notions of his tarty, he must support the Standing Ar• my Bill; and he must assume the position lint his constituents -are in favor of the olious Sub-treasury system. If he be e lected, the woi Id will say that a majority. of the people of this district are willing to endorse the vile falsehoods of that par ty, upon the gallant, and honest old coin ',anion of mad Anthony. We trust this will not be. And we now call upon every friend of old Tip—every opponent of Low Wages —every opponent of a Standing Army-- every opponent ef the Sub-treasury--and every defender of his country's history & honor, to begin in time to meet the strata• gems, and intrigues which will be used to secure the election of this man. Let n•,t your feelings Le misled by any notions of personal good will. If you really believe the principles you advocate, let no induce ments lead you from your purpose. Re. member the watch word, "Harrison, Ty ler and Reform—No reduction of wages --No Standing army--•No Subtreasury." o:7 — We have understood that our friends nominate their candidate on Friday of this week. We do not know who will be the man, but we take it for granted that Cilen. James Irvin, will be their choice.] We believe he is the choice of the peoplel —fur we have hardly heard any man express a diarent Opinion: No matter who i , he is, we go for him as vie go for the old! Nero, with our whole might--no kind Or deviation. Be he who he may, we go for !him with a eliet that tt is a duty R e °tire to our country. It. Al. Johnson In the “Adroeute" of August 26th. will be found an abstract of a speech, ! said to have been delivered by Col. John 'son. We invite every American citizen to read it--to read it carefully ; and they 'will see throughout the whole, an attempt to show that that old soldier has cast con sure upon General Harrison. We never believed that Col : Johnson ever made that speech. He has ever, under all circum stances, born the honor of being, nut only a fearless, but an honest soldier. He has in the previous part of his life bestowed some of the highest ecomiums upon Gen. Harrison he ever received; and we felt assured that as a soldier and a man of honor and truth, that now for the pal try pottage of party success he would sell the proud heritage he earned in the field of blood and strife. It would seem from the following, that there were others who felt as we did on that point, and addressed Col. Johnson a letter, asking his views upon the conduct o f Harrison and Shelby in the battle of the Thames; and further, enquiring of him if this abstract of his speech was repor ted and published as he delivered it ? Below will found the honest old warrior's answer. It is worthy of him ; and shows what are his opinions of the man that is now calumniated and vilified by the base and corrupted spirits of party. Read it every Freeman ! Read it every American! —and then ask yourself what must be the character of those persons, and that party. When their own candidate fur the Vice Presidency adds his voice to the many, (pronouncing them wicked and malicious itraducers. Cul Johnson has not disappointed us in his letter. It is not many days since we publicly asserted, that if he were addles sed, he would sustain the very assertions lie made years ago, relative to Gen. Har rison. He has been so addressed ; and here you have his answer. We hope ev• ery friend of Harrison will keep a copy of this letter by him, and when lie hears the petty tools of party, pronouncing liar rison a coward,---or a petticoat General; he will cooly take out this letter and say JAnson sips you are a calumnia tor." Cul. Johnson is too honest for the par ty to which he is attached. He cannot mingle in the strife of whole sale abuse, nor join in traducing his old companion s in the camp, for party purposes. He will not agree that votes shall be obtained for any partyat the expense of National honor. lie will not allow the brightest pages in our nation's history to be torn out and de. stroyed, for the one day glory of party tri• umph. But we say once more, lead the letter, and always keep a copy with you. M♦\AFIELD, Aug. 18th. 1840. My Dear qtr:—Your favor has been re-I ceived, in which you observe, that by my reported speech, an inference may be 'drawn that I am not only in doubt as re gards the "courage of Gen. Harrison, but that I had but little respect for him as a commanding General. lam happy to have this opportunity of informing you that during any service with Gen. Harr'. son, 1 ILID .1 0 ta USE To DOUBT HIS COUILIGE, BUT COXSIDEIt DAM J 1 Bliat•E Mawr and I have always expressed myself to that effect, nor leave 1 ever dis approved or censured any of his measures as ck.mmanding Gen. in the pursuit of Proctor or in the battle of the Thames —every thing I saw net my entire approbation. and 1 have never spoken °fit in any oher terms• In speaking of the bat e of the Thames, and the part acted by iy regiment, I did not intend to increase the merit of that regiment, or to dimin lab the merit claimed by others, much less 'did I intend to imply that Gen Harrison, or Gov. Shelby, or any officer attached to . . the army, avoided duty or danger. Each had his part to act, and I should feel my. self much degraded to suppose that they did not perform their duty fearless of dan ger,--nur have I ever doubted that these gallant officers were precisely where du• ft called them. I regret that in such a battle, where our country was victorious, that there should be controversy about the merit due to the actors in that !cattle. I claim nothing above the most humble soldier, who performed his duty upon that occasion, nor shall any earthy considera tion ever induce me knowingly to do in justice to the commanding officer, Gover• nor Shelby, or any other officer in that army. I have thus confined myself to encral remarks, not knowing in what par ticular fact, injustice is supposed to have been done to Gen. Harrison. I should be glad to know what particular issue is made as to the Nuts stated in the reported speech, respecting which 1 had no agency. I shall feel no difficulty to state facts as far as my own personal knowledge ex tends, and what I understood from oth. ers, and not to censure or criminate, but to state truth as far as I know or delieve the facts. !expect to be in your city on IStit.day, 2, - Id, on my way home, and I shall be happy to see you. - - ftlf.

THE NI EETING, Our readers will find in to days paper a republication of the proceedings of the meeting held on court week. By some unaccountable accident, one of the ittoq important resolutions was not publish,:d ; and the mistake was not discovered until our paper was worked WE A number of our friends suggested the propriety of a gain inserting the entire proceedings. We have done so, satisfied that there can be nothing lost by a second reading. The Elections in Vermont and Indiana will be heard from.

FIRE On Wednesday night of last week, the mill occupied by Mr. John Swoope, was, together with its contents, totally destroy ed by fire. We have learned that there was about 3000 bushels of grain in the it. There is no doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The loss has been heavy on some who had nearly their all stored in the mill. We have under stood that Mr. Levi Householder had his ,books of account burned in the mill, GOODBARNE'S LECTURE On Tuesday . erening, of last week, we, with many other of our citizens, of both sexes, attended the lecture of this gentle man, upon the science of Phrenology. A s he had previously stated his intention to call the attention of his audience, on that evening, to the formation of McConaghy's brain, we made sonic little arrangements to gather an abstract of his remarks. We are not confident that we succeeded, even to our own satisfaction, yet we ate sure that there were some things said, which duserres to be treasured up in the minds of all. If we have succeeded in giving a brief out line of his arguments, we do nut regret our labor. There is one thing that we may as well say, that we may be understood. Time science of Phrenology is not yet perfect. ed. Many suppose that the Phrenologist —or, as they jokingly say, the Bumpolo, gist, should be able to scan the most in tricate recesses,of the mind, and tell ot the hidden thoughts of all. This cannot be ; and here let us commence the Doc tor's remarks, for he explains that sub. ject better than we can. lle says: "It is generally supposed that Phrenol ogists pretend that they know what is the obvious and dlinite character ot every person. I pretend to no such power.— The science teaches us the character of ourselves—points out the easy besetting sin—shows how our propensities differ. All our faculties are liable to abuse—an individual may be too kind, as well as too 'arrogant and haughty. Time, circum._
