Political' Matters. From the Harrisburg Telegraph. Reforms under Gov. Eisner. It is useful occasionally to let the people see what they have' gained by the election of Gov. River, and the reforms, introduced un• der his administration. In 1.832,.thn friends of Muhlenburg in Al !legheny county, published an address in which they denounced the effice-holders un der Gov. Wolf as "CORRUPT AND IM BECILE"—as "SLAVISH AND PROD IGAL"—and as "A BAND OF MARAU DERS PREYING UPON THE VI TALS OF THE STATE." - They , also gave the following summary of the increase of the debt under Wolf's administration: A Daily increase of $9,359 A Monthly, " " 8249,870 A Yearly, l 4 82,999,450 A Total, " " $16,991,222 All this daily, monthly and yearly increase of State debt, has been arrested—totally stopped, by Gov. Ritner. The state tax re pealed, and an empty treasury resuscitated —bat the Loco Focos are uneasy. There is no public plunder to be had. They have therefore nominated one of Gov. Wolf's "BAND OF MARAUDERS" for Gover nor, that the public coffers may again be opened to them. This fact cannot be dented, else why did they nominate a "CORRUP AND INI BECI LE —SL A VISII AND PRODIGAL," old office-holder? Correspondonce of the National Intelligencer. NEW YORK, May 8. ONE MILLION AND A MALI' OF DOLLARS in specie left this city this morning,in the Phil adelphia 8 o'clock boat for Philadelphia, probably to go down the jaws of the Mon• ster. There is a great deal of fog ti. our money market here it is yet difficult to see through. My opinion is, that the Bank of England has repented of its quarrel with the Pennsyl vania U. S. Bank, and ordered a pot non of its specie sent here to be suit to Philadelphia. Rumor says that Mr. Jaudon, the agent of the Pennsylvania Bank, (a bank bankrupt! a bank insolvent! side Globe, passim,) was about to draw from the Bank of England the nice sum of 816,090,099 in specie, •vhen John Bull's monster concluded it was best to make friends with Brother Jonathan's monster, and thus this specie marches to Philadelphia, with more in its train. This conjecture is confirmed,in part,by the follow ing statemept in the London Morning Chron icle (received last night) of April 9th: "it is said that,apprehensive of the conse quences of the misunderstanding with the Bank of the United States, the Directors of the Bank of England have absolutely forfeit ed the policies of insurance upon a very large amount of money. Taken at the lowest cal culetion, at one per cent. we aro informed of E 15,0001" The financial policy of ibis may be seen in the state of the mai lets in Europe. It has required all the strength of Mr. Biddle to keep up the cotton market in Liverpool, in face of the exportations ofapecie to Amer ica. . The first law of such an exportation is, that the products of the country to which the bullion is sent must fall, to counteract the effect of the exportation! Mr. Biddle has succeeded erilerably well, but the cotton market is drooping; and, it we insist upon pay in gold and silver, cotton, rice, and to bacco, and state stocks, must pay the bill in a depreciation. Mr. Biddle's head is a great deal longer than many of the men's who, in our city, so often blow him up. He don't want to sacri fice the great staples of the country, or to produce universal pressure and disaster by a precipitancy in specie payments. He don't want to keep gold and silver marching over the ocean and back at every little turn in the tide of the exchanges, or to cart it, specie circular fashion, over hill and hillock from Pen Yan to Kalamazoo. This.seems to me to be what he means by saying "The great prerogative of strength is to do right." How ever, in all these guesses, I am but groping my way in the fog. Wall street, Chesnut street, and Threadneedle street, (London,) are very foggy just now. Chesnut street, however, just now, seems to be winning the day. NEW YORK, May 9. Nearly TWO MiLtions, principally in gold, instead of a million and a half, as I wrote you yesterday, went to Philadelphia yester. day for the monster; giving him now about five millions of "the real grit." I rather think he can buy "the Government" now, out and out, if Mr. Wright's account of the dolorous condition of Nth) Sam's purse is correctly stated, notwithstanding his pover ty as figured forth in the Globe. By the way, since Uncle Sam abandoned his good old steady Quaker wife for such a set of mis tresses, the poor old fellow yet suffers sadly, even with the 10,000,000 of Treasury pap to feed him. Much as the merchants and business men, however, respect the old gen tleman,in spite of his derelictions from duty, they de net want to see him have more of these Treasury notes. All practical men here, uninterested by direct influences, dep recate such a currency,and wish no more of it. It is a false way of doing bustness,they, my; and Uncle Sam will, in the end, be but the worse oil for such a patching up of his rags and old clothes. He must have a new tailor, they add, a new suit, and quit these Locofeco ideas of divorce; and it is shame ful, all cry out, for the old man to come into Wall street shin plastered all over, when even "the yellow boys" "snicker" at him through the brokers' windows. The "rug barons" here now, with eagle buttons on, and sovereigns and Napoleons on their heads scorn even to shake hands with the old fel low; whereas, when Mr. Kendall introduced bim to them in 1834, they smiled and caper ed about him like dancing-masters,and could pot shake hands often enough in a day. To night, a year ago, the Banks of New York resolved it, was necessary to suspend specie payments. Their year of grace has ended, and the law compels a resumption to morrow all over the State. Steps are being taken in %Vali street for on organization of a large 'Bunk uuder the general banking law. U. S. Bank:stock is yet rising. To.dav it stands at 1161. There is no change in the money market. The Banks do little or nothing. From the Harrisburg Intelligencor PC BLIC WORKS. Goods in Nine days from New York to Cincinnati by Pennsylvania Canal/ We notice this unprecedented fact an• nounced in the Cincinnati papers. Goods actually on sale in that city which had left the City of New York, but NINE DAYS previously, having passed along cur public improvements in Mr. Leech's Fast Line! no misnomer here Master Brooks! Such truly gratifying incidents redound to the credit not only of Mr. Leech, but also to the public agents generally, through whose vi gilance, attention nod adtnirable manage• merit such results are attained. Just think alit! Why Amos Kendall's defunct Ex press line could traverse this immense dis tance in but little less time! Should the ex periment of navigating the Ocean by Steam, prove succeesful, and the intercourse be kept up between Li‘erpool and New York, goods could belivered at this speed of tran sit, in the city of New Orleans, via of the Pennsylvania Canal, in THIRTY DAYS FROM LI VERPOOL! We ask the merchants of the Eastern and Western Emporiums, whether they ever had such facilities under the old regime? Did the agents of Governor Wolf expedite the transit of merchandizo with a upend so remarkable, and in a period of time so shot t as to be almost incredible? Were the pub lic works ever in so perfect a state of repair as they are found in at this moment? We ore not fearful of the response to these in quiries; it must be such as will gratify Gov ernor Ritner and his agents, as well as those who advocate his re-election uponthe ground of the superior manner in which the State improvements are conducted. We call up on the merchants and business men gener ally, then, to act in good faith towards the man who has in so praiseworthy a manner redeemed and Qustained the reputation of our public works. New York will soon bo driven from her position of rivalry—she will be forced to yield up tem palm to Pennnsyl vania. She was the pioneer, ft is true, in the noble enterprize of Internal improve ment. Pennsylvania for It the field as.her competitor, and now we witness the proud spectacle of our State triumphing—her im provements excelling in the facilities which are afforded to merchants! Again: we call upon the farmers—upon all who have con tributed to the rearing up these grand monu ments, to rally in the support of JOSEPH RITNER, and secure his re-election, and before the expiration of his second term, Pennsylvania will be deriving a revenue from her improvements, equal to the pay. meat of the interest upon her public debt, with a surplus left to apply to the gradual extinguishment of the principal! How great a desideratum! Sustain Governor Ritner, and we have not a doubt but that he will ac complish this result in due time, by his vi gilant care, prudence and wisdr.r.r.l From the Harrisburg Telegraph, Texas Manors. The following paragraph is going the round of the papers: "Florsonaay.—We perceive by the regulation of the "Velasco -Tacky Club," at Velasco, Texas, that the next race is to take place In the first week in May e and that the following distinguished Individ uals have been elected honorary members—viz : viz:—Gen.

These are just such honors as we should presume would come from that "independent Republic" of land pirates. Horse racing, gambling, &c are undoubtedly more impor tant schools for those who intend to reside there, than institutions of learning,and con sequently It may in Texas be considered as much an "honor" to be associated with a "Jockey Club," as it is here to be with a Literary Institution, or a College of learn ing. From the above tendor of "honors," the people can judge of who and what the "brave revolutionists" of Texas are. THE CHANGE IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY-GOY. RITNER. Our intelligence is of the most favorable charac ter from Schuylkill county. Tho Miner's Journal expressos the opinion that tho vote will bo very close in tho fall, and adds: "This may appear suprising to tbose who are aware that a majority of between seven and eight hundred votes were polled against him at the last olection,without being aware that the changes in his favor have been go ing on ever since in a manner truly unpre cedented. It is thought by some,that there will not be above a hundred majority either way; but the best information that we can at present get, shows a majority of at least that number in favor of Ritner. Should this prediction be verified,we shall hail with pleasure the regeneration of Schuylkill co." A GOOD snoT.—The notorious Bennet of the New York Weekly Herald, a neutral in politics t Aets off President Van Buren in the follbwing fine style: "ALAs! POOR. VAN BUREN!—The Whig victory in Baltimore followed 'on the heels of the one published this morning from Vit.• glum, has, we fear, given Mr. Van Buren the asthma. Alas, poor Van! Unless I can immediately negociate with Queen Victoria for him, he will be in uo position to assume her hand. A story is told of a monkey in a barber's shop, who watched with great interest the movements of a man shaving himself. As scon as the man departed.the monkey Snatch ed up the razor and drawing a few strokes across his neck, cut his throat. So it is with Sir. Van Buren. He has "travelled in the footsteps" of General Jackson, till, like the monkey imitating the man shaving himself, he has cut his throat. If the Whigs manage their cards well they will carry New York in November by 20,000 majority. Even this city may be placed on the W hig aide by 3000. We do want a revolution in the policy of the-government —and must have it. I shall, however, be back in time to set up the nine pins in the full.

What an outrage this is—what an abuse ofprivileges!! Where will this corruption ond?

A CONVENTION AIIANDONED.—The Har risburgh Telegraph states that the proposi• tion of the Democratic Republican Central committee of this State,to hold a Convention on the subject of the Presidency in Juno next, at Pittsburgh, has been abandoned.— This is well—there will be quite time enough to agitate this topic alter the October elec. tion. We agree with the Telegraph, that the Reading Convention should be particu. larly careful to avoid this or any other topic likely to produce division.

The following npt remarks were made by Mr. STANLEY, of North Carolina, in the House of Representatives of the U.

Does he mean the time when he had patronage and office to bestow? These are perhaps a man's better dap in theestimation of the Chairman! Or does he mean that the days when his physi cal powers wore in the highest perfection, are gone; and that his intellectual powers also are now decayed? If so, the allusion was uncivil and unfeeling.

During the morning, Mr. W EBSTER in troduced an interesting memorial from soya; ral Officers of the United States Army, who represent, that instead of whiskey rations, coffee and sugar would be a most desirable substitute. The_ petitioners say it would preserve the health,efficiency and happiness and frequently the moral reformation of the soldiers of the Army. They believe that the gill of. whiskey still allowed to men on fatigue duty under the act of Congress of 1819, unnecessary, and fiild to answer the end for which it was gronted. They believe it contributes in a great degree to form and keep alive habits of intemperance the legiti- mate result of which are insubordination, 'disease and crime. In presenting this memorial, %Ir.

He thought that if ardent spirits could be bene ficially and usefully dispensed witleby sol diers on fatigue duty, it would he difficult to maintain tho necessity of their .use by per sons in any occupation or employment.

Correspondence of the Montrose Spectator. W ASH I N GTON,D. C. April 13,1839. You see I have made quite a move since my last date, having travelled above 140 miles. I went to Carlisle where is Dickin son College, and a large number of students. Going thence to Gettysburg, I found miles over the South Mountain, where the snow was three feet deep,when cornimet and melt ing,and doubt not but five or six feet of snow had fallen; indeed there had been nothing like it there since January, 1831. The German Seminary is in Gettysburg, and Pennsylvania College, perhaps the noblest looking building 1 ever saw. It is hand somely situated, large and well built, and white as snow. The College is flourishing. I then went to Emmittsburg, in Maryland, a pretty little place, where is the Roman Catholic Church of Mount Saint Mary and the Nunnery of a Sisterhood. The latter exert much influence on the young. From hero I went to Frederick City,which is quite a large, old place. Crossing the Potomac at Nutan's Ferry, 1 entered Loudon County, "old Virginia," and stopped in Leesburg. Through Fairfax county, then re-crossing the Potomac by a chain bridge, I again en tered Maryland, then Georgetown, in the "ten miles square," and then Washington. The funeral of Hon. Isaac MKim occur red the day after my arrival. The coffin was in the middle aisle of the House of Rep. resentatives' Hall, and the members seats were nearly filled by relatives and others. The President, heads of departments, and others, were in front of the clerks's desks, ex. President Adams iii front of the President, who politely bowed to each other. Mr. Sli cer, Chaplain of the Senate, made a prayer, and then preached an appropriate sermon. He reminded them that this was the fourth time they had been called together urn such an occasion in a few weeks, and that the next might fin.] them confined in the nor row limits of a coffin. The oratbr,the states man, the financier, the warrior, the poet, the philosopher—"all knew that they must die." The vanity, the shortness,the uncer tainty; the weakness of human station and power, were ably shown; and the specimen before them. Messrs. Adams and Van Bu ren, was an eloquent and impressive illus tration of his remarks. He warned them to prepare to meet death, for they "know that they must die;" and he pointed to the example of the deceased as worthy of imita tion. Another prayer, and the coffin was taken,followed by a procession of about :PO, to the house of the Baltimore Rail Road, and was conveyed to the home of the deceas ed for interment. Mr. McKim was a self made, wealthy merchant, and one who used his wealth for the good of the widow and the orphan. A large number of honorable busi ness men,were made such by him,he having taken them from scenes of vice and idleness to his care,and the influence of his example, and trained them up for usefulness.

DISTRESSING.—A circumstance of a pe culiar distressing character occurred last. week on the head waters of Wheeling creek. (Va.) which, as it was related, is as follows:: A family by name of Bonnets' n resided. near the creek, consisting of the parents and! three children. The parents were absent for a few minutes, and during that time the• children, through curiosity, 14 is supposed, placed a coal of fire to the straw lying about and covering a pig pen, near the house ) , which they had iurautiously entered; and did not discover their dangerous -situation mail too late to extricam themselves, and . there being no assistance near at hand, they were tell to. perish. The attention of it tit parents and neiglihnrs wag attracted to the spot by the light end smoke, but to late isa save the lives of the children.

CountU Treasurer. 01. -We have heretofore received the patronage of the County Treasurer. The County Commissioners unfortunately bestowed that office, for this year, upon a Mason. who has proscribed us and given his print ing to one of the Masonic papers of the Borough!— We hope our Anti-Masonic friends will see to this hereafter. .The friends of the different candidates for the Presidency seem much annoyed at what they `,call the premature action of town meetings & State \ conventions of the friends of rival candidat'es. No • doubt all such movements as go to designate any ! individual and place him before the public as a nominated candidate, aro premature. To others than Anti-Masons, wo have nothing ( to say. Wo have no tight to adviae,nor would they . heedum'. But while the Whigs aro talking about Ia National Convention in 1839 to take up WF.11.• Bran or CLAT'i and a . few wandering fragments of all parties about a State Convention at Pittsburg to proclaim HARIIISON, some if our own papers -seem to have forgotten that a Democratic National Convention is to be held at Philadelphia in No vember next, to nominate candidates for the Pres idency and Vice Presidency! That Convention will, we doubt not, then nomi- nate; and its nominees will be the only effective oneif against Abe Van Buren party. The Whigs will either adopt them, or ensure their own defeat. Who those nominees will be,it is not for us to con jecture; but it is obvious,that the pretcnded friends of Harrison, who are putting forth their "circulars" instead of abiding by the decision of the proper tribu nal, are doing mpro to destroy his prospects than all his open enemies. Itwero well, we think, for the Anti-Masonic roes to call .the attention of other Statc;s to the Convention to which we allude, its that Conven tion have resolved to nominate no candidate from a Stale not represented. Those states which desire their favorites to bn supported by Pennsylvania. will do well to have a voice,an Anli-Masonic voice in that Convention. In the meantime wo shall elect Mr. MyrNan Governor by 20,000 majority, and then the candi dates of Pennsylvania—of the Vemocratic Anti- Masonic National Convention, will receive the Pennsylvania Electoral vote,and become President and Vice President of the United States. It is idle for any others to expect to bent the Van Duren party. coNVe say neain, let the Anti-Mnsonie press speak out—not about men--but about rat Nelm.r.6 and our National Convention.

JOON WILLIAMSON of Huntingdon. a prqfess ed Anti• Mason who supported Ritner in 183t'. is said by the Masonic papers to have abjured his principles and forgot his professions, and supports Porter. This is true. He gave his reason for his apostacy at a meet iug lately held in Huntingdon. He "said that a Rail Road would be made from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. That it would either go through the Southern border of the State, York, Ad ams, Bedford, Sonierset,&e., or up the Juniata.

I HAVE obtained a Patent Right for a Suction and Propelling Pump and Pipes, and am now prepared to put them up in Washington county, Md.,and Franklin,Bed ford., and Adams counties, Penn. By this pump Water can be conveyed from Springs up hills,a9 well us up wells. The Pump may be placed in any part of the house most con- venient, and while it serves to supply water for family use,tt may be constructed to raise water into any part of the house in case of fire. And, by the bye, how many houses have been burnt for want of a few buckets of water at the commencement of a fire, be fore water could be conveyed to the upper part of the building. By this means,a pipe may be placed to convey water to thetop of a house in a few seconds; a cistern may be placed in an upper room, out of which all the other rooms may be supplied with water. It will also answer to raise water for a shower bath, so that the person bathing may supply himself with water. Farmers may have a pump placed in any part of their stables or barnyards—four or five ftimilies may have water out of one well, each house a pump in their own yard, &c. &c. In order that there need be no fears upon the subject,[ will war rant all I put up to answer the purpose con tracted for, provided the purchaser will at. tend to the directions given. I also except carelessness and accident. But if it will not answer according to contract, I shall make no charge whatever, so that there can be no risk in trying it. The pump can be made so as not to be injured by frost. An occular demonstration of its utility can be had by calling on the gentlemen whose certificates follow. JOHN DENIG. [Communicated do hereby Certify,That have one of John Denig's Patent Pumps in use, by which the water is brought from a spring up a hill 168 feet,from 20 to 26 feet fall.

It will save much fatigue and inconvenience, especially in cold and wet weather. ABRAHAM STOUFFER. May 1, 1833. 1 mile from Chambersburg.

NICHOLAS WEAVER Gettysburg, Pa. Nov. 2. 1636. Certificate of Jos. S. Snapp, Frederick Co. Va. Mr. John Millen—Sir— I do berebi certify, that I have been afflicted with Dyspepsia for the last 4 or 5 years, which has been increasing on me ever since to such a degree. that for the last 3 or 4 weeks previ ous to using your valuable Garlegant's Balsam of Health, I am certain I had not cat one ounce a day of any kind of food,ueither was I able to sleep with any kind of comfort daring the time, because of a severe pain in the stomach. In fact, I had given up myself as incurable, as I had reccurse to so many different remedies witlvint any benefit. At length I heard of your Balsam of Health being advertised, and was in duced to 'ry it. I accordingly bought one bottle from your agent, ( Wm. Miller, Winchester ) After tak ing the first three doses, I found the stomach to retain in some recree what I eat, and the pain in a great measure subsiding. After using only one and a half bottles I found myself entirely well, and can now eat any t ping I have an inclination for a d can sleep well at night. It was surprising to see the quantity °lmo' , bid matter I discharged from my stomach,whiah I am inclined to believe was coated thick with it,which no doubt rendered all diet indigestible.
