Charge' to the Grand •/nryjwill be found on the first page, to which" we invite the attention of our reader^ We invite attention to the remarks of Geri. Miller in reply to Mr. Williams and-other federal Senators. ' From a perusal of the re marks, we are inclined to the opinion that Mr. W., for once,, “wakened up the wrong passenger.’.’ The, thirteenth Senatorial Dis tricfhas reason to ’bc proud ot her fearless and intelligent democratic representative. Mr. -Parsons' -Speech.—W c have perused with pleasure this masterly "reply to the three'days’ speech of Senator Penrose, ahd shall lay"it before our readers next week.— If ever mortal man received a drubbing at the hands of another, and so . richly merited too, Penrose is that individual. It will be long ere he shall again make an attack bn so. bold and talented an opponent. ■%>:■ We forgot to mention in our last, that on Monday the Sthanst. Joseph S. Dellinger, Esq.~was admitted to .practice law in the several courts of this county. They who arc acquainted with the char acter of the Carlisle Herald, will be surpri sed that we notice its paltry attacks upon Judge" Hepburn. Ifs leading articles al ways abound in the scurriliti/ that iehUTac Wrlgga Vulgar and contracted minds, so that he who runs may read in every line the low malice engendered by envy, and an inward con sciousness of moral degradation. It would , be laughable to talk of the editor! —the name that appears at the head of the paper is that of ah insignificant creature, the ninth part of a man In mind and stature, who, .is silly enough to father all the trash that is thrust upon him, but whose literary qualifications are not to be suspected any more than his military prowess. The ostensible editor may be.piticd as a 'tool, but he is hot deser ving, of the contempt due the, authors of the -productions which adorn his print: he.is still, (however, pitiful—eery pitiful. There are other individuals behind the curtain, who, with the majevolehcejncidertt to grovelling pursuits, and the cow.ardice' charactcristic of unworthy motives, are ever willing to bran dish ip the dark the filthy weapons.of. slander and-.detraction,..yv.hich_.tli.ey -have_. npt the ■courage to wield in public-. These then deem themselves perfeetjy secure ; ih raising the poisoned chalice to. the,lips of our best and. most worthy citizens, and never, dream, simple souls, that the same cup may be re turned to them drugged .Jo tho very bottom witii their own nauseOjSrmedicineß. As an instance^—Judge Heponm is charged-, with thebffence of removing an incompefent ofii cerbf the Court, and appointing iff his (dace a worthyofwrath and t!ie swill tubs of Billingsgate are. liberally ; discharged upon .him-^the;whole couhtryis alarmed with pitiful lamentations for the fate of the unfortunate Cqurt.Crier; and by whpth gentle reader, think you, arc these crocodile teors'shed? hypo other,than .the same’pious and honorable party whtt rembyed .the.late grey-haired Deputy- Secretary of fhe.Contr monwealth,.Mr..Triinblej from las officeto the grave—by’the aanie party who swept with the besom, of "destruction every'.denio cratfromeverypbstbfKouaivorprofif.gieat pr small, from the Delaware to the Ohio— the same merciful. party who', turned thou sands of our humble laboring men from the pilbUoworks, to starve on.tiic barren moun tains, because they would not .worship at footstool of the Dank—tlio same magnani mous party who,-tlie other day, removed Mr. Reese, the gate-keeper at the Harrisburg ■ bridge,because he was a democrat—the same identical Bank, Anti-masonic, tederai’amal gamation party," who, ; through ’.their f pious protestations procured the, dismissal of Jas'ou W.

But we deny lhat Judge Hepburn has been influenced by political motives in any judi cial act, . Eveiyn the,matter,ofthe unfortu nate, Court.

' • On this petition is /endorsed the appoint ment, and the said appointment is pronoun ced by the jury of old , women, who decide upon affairs pertaining -to Anti-masonry, ’to be political—if so, it must Certainly -be a bantling'of their own; for ’we can find no where any evidence of paternity against Judge Hepburn’s political friends. But e hough! Judge Hepburn is above,such as saults: "We are.-pleased! to say that he discharges his official duties like a manrof honor and integrity, without regard to party. His talents are unquestionably of the highest order, anil whilst he is sustained by the community, he may. treat With silent-con tempt the attacks of village curs, who bark merely because their fellows do.

In Senate, March ZS, 1839. , Mr. Miller, of Adams, rose and said:- - - Mr: Chairman, —It is with feelings of the greatest regret, that I am called upon to take part in the' disbussion of this subject—a sub ject which, has been before the Senate for severakweeks past,, and which I am anxious to see finally disposed of. Nothing would have induced me, sir, to occupy tho-time of the .Senate, by saying aught in relation to this question, had I not felt it myduty—a duty which I owe to myself and tp my con stituents, to rdply .to some remarks'which have fallen from senators in the course of this'debate. T -The Committee of Safety-jur,; Tom—- and cliarges prefcrred of tpo.gross and infa mous a nature, to be suffered to pass in si lence. They have been charged as guilty of treason^- aye, sir, treason! They have been 'charged with an attempt to usurp the govern ment, subvert the constitution, .and trample upon the .laws of their country! And, to add insult to. injury, they have been repre sented as made up of the very -dregs of. so- from the commonest, herd of mankind! Sir, the charge is false—it is base —it is infamous!—l speak not for my self. ' Though I am proud and happy to de clare here, that I was a member of that committee, still it as not this which prompts me to reply to the charges preferred against that committee.; There were other individ uals, members-of that committee—men-of high character and respectability—men.who have occupied, and still occupy high stations in Pennsylvania—men of wealth, & talents, and; education,-r-men with whom,.-iff-any capacity, .and under any crrCtUrtsfahc'es, I shall ever, feel myself proud to associate.— -Aye, sir,- therewere, gpntlemen upon that committee:whowould: dignify any; .station, however exalted! i v. The Senator from the city, ;(Mr. Fraily) has indulged in the most .abusive language, and .applied epithets of the most ':vindictive andjmalignant.character, to the members of that committee., He has charged dbem with a conspiracy!' He has, jmpugned their Bior tiyes;and after-denouncing, them as.traitors', in the .harshest.language’lie,could employ i he asksi "whqii and icAere.this committee had its,origin?”.' 7 •- .- , . Now, sir, having' been a mciftber of ' that and the-only-one, I believe bn this floor, Tishall. endeavor to defend them from die ; foul aspersions that have been cast upon them-by the Senators through the course of ,tins debate.- lam aware, sir, that l 'do not; possess the ability th repel; giaht-like, these unjust imputations. and td roll back the’tide of- prejudice :which Senators have attempted to create 'againsf Hie- Committee, pf Safety, yet with'the.limited abilities that I do ppssessj ;andS*ith' the zeal and l energy which an holiest indignation is calculated to inspire. I shall cheerfully devote ■ myself, to theitask.ln doing this, sir,’ it will be nec essary-for me-to revert to-the'..proceedings that took -place-here iat.thc ;organization of the-LegislaturcUnr--; r',-xr . ■. '5; - hAfter the proceedings which took -place iii this chamber,'oh fhe'4th of'Debfenlber last, ad mittingpersons tO seats as' memberS of the Senate, ’Who were-not elected by the people, and who wer6-knjotynto.be, returned by fraud', a spontaneous meeting 7 of dKe people -took place, at the coUrt-lmuse in this placo. ovcr which I>had' the honor to; preside ; as chair man: - The measurcs wjiich thisSehate had adopted;- the organization of - two-Houses- of Representatives,nhd the high-handed course ■pursued ;by-:the administration, were 7 fully discussed. 4 ItWastlieunanimousppinionof thatmeetingjithattheSccretarydf thecom monwealthririwitWibldingtlie true ftndlegal returns fromPHiladrfphia/andbther counties ih this nip * Wk*** ** tt and that; the orgnization oLjwd House's,of Representatives was in dirccfviolation of the constitution.—They regarded such innova tion upon.the. .laws and the constitution, as an attempt' to establish a government'inde pendent of the people, 'and contrary to the' express will of the majority, as expressed through that great palladium of our liberties; the ballot -box. ’ Under'all These circum stances, sir, tlid mCeting considerOd the gov ernment ht nn’-pnd.—lt was .atthis juncture ofnffairs, that the cpmmittec.of. safety was appointed by that meeting. 1, sir, was added to that committee. I acted with them on all occasions, and was present at 01l their delib erations, and I solemnly declarei that this committee acted only in guarding the rights of citizens, preserving peace and order, and in protecting public and private property from injury. When the report went forth, sir,- that a gang of bullies from the rail-roads and ca nals had been placed .in the arsenal, and provided witli arms and ammunition for the purpose of attacking the people, if they manifested ahy resistance against the foul aggressions upon their rights—when this startling intelligence . reached the people, and inflamed their minds with indignation at the outrage, and caused them to surround the Arsenal, demanding Its immediate evac uation by those hired ruffians who had been placed there for the hellish’design of butch ering the people; if they, dared raise an arm in defence of-their country and their rights . —when the fierce passions of insulted free men were burning high, and-, rendering the Arsenal in imminent danger of being torn down, then it was, sir,, that I,'accompanied by Gen. and others of .the committee, exerted all our influence, and all bur energies, to prevent any violence or dis turbance.. Wesucceeded, sir, in preventing any violence, and the people were induced to "disperse. The Arsenal was evacuated and'peace and quiet,restored, Sir, any one acquainted with the. history of those proceedings, will not pretend to de ny that theHduae of Representatives then kno.wn as the Cunningham House, was ille gally and • unconstitutionally organized— that many of its members, had never been' elected by the people, and’ that, .they .were Teturned. as duly elected for-the purpose of defrauding the people of their rights—aye," sir; disfranchising the whole people of Penn sylvania, It ,whs the avowed design of Ste vens and his mercenary and unprincipled federal coadjutors, to ’force, those persons into the seats as: regularly; elected mepibers —then go on and- contest the election of Governor—make it appear that David R. Porter was elected through fraud, & declare Joseph Ritner to be duly re-elected gover nor of Pennsylvania. Aftpr this, scheme had' been/carried thro,’ they were to elect a ( United States Senator and State-Treasurer —pass such, laws as would effectually strip, the Governor of all his power, if, perchance,^ Senate would recognize the Cunningham House, and thus consummate the scheme of fraud and villainy, by trampling upon the rights of the people, guaranteed to them by the constitution and laws of their country. I' frankly acknowledge, air, that if this dark scheme of usurpation and of tyranny had been perpetrated, it was theintention of die Committee of Safety, in conjunction with the Hopkins Hfiuse, to appeal to the people'. Sir, all power is vesteii in the people, and they possess the right of choosing their own rulers.. If these riders transcend the limits of the powers delegated to them by the con stitution and laws—if they are guilty of a gross usurpation of power, they are amenable to the people; and it is the right— it is their duty tb-resist such usurpation,-and hurl the vile usurpers from the high stations they have disgraced. ■ • In our country, sir, where the people are divided and sub-divided into parties, the spirit'of our government guarantees' to the majority~i\iC' i ight to rule. The majority are to riecide upon the individual or individ uals, wi.th whom the affairs of • our govern-, raent are to be“entrusted; "The late execu tive never received a majority, of the votes of the people—he wasTiot elevated to power •by the will of the majority.. In him, the majority of the people had no confidence.— Andyot,'sir, although • he had been deposed by the people, "arid another elected inhia place by a ihajority-'of more than fen thou sand votes; he had the audacify to attempt to retain his ill-gotten ’power, by fraud and usurpation. Seconded by Stevens, Penrose arid Burrowes, and other unprincipled iridi viduals)of: the party by whom he- was.sup ported,* 1 a : plot i had; been laid; • which for blackness of perfidy and fraud, and infamous usurpation’ of i power, ; : was unknown '.in the annals of crime!" ■ Men who were not elected' by thc'i people were admitted to'serifs upon this' floor,’ while elecfed fnem beVs of ■ this Senate were / defrauded of their seats! - The ebristitutiori was;thus 1 violated —the laws trampled upon, and the will of the people set atdefiance!', Could 'the as sembled' freemen -who occu pied those gal I er ies.and lobbies, look calmlyupon this scene of usurpation and fraild—:oula they witness fhcir'rightSand liberties trampled under foot, without "phe- murmur'of disapprobation— without-a single, manifestation of indigna tion?' Sir, when the freeraen of Pennsylva nia can look .upon such scencs wi th indiffef ence—when: they..can calmly arid quietly gaze' upon acts I of'fraud; arid , .tyranny, arid usurpation—their : pwn rights -.and liberties institutions ofrthcircountry> violated with '.impunity— fAen are they tipejfrir anarchy arid treason— then "will" our country be involved: in one fearful scerie of chaos arid ruin!; - ' v^u:s v c I SlippOse.sir.thatapfecedent'ehouldbe established, that'a return feceiVcd froiri' the office'of the secretary of the coriifnoiHv.ealth ts'th& baly, ev^epte’ofHtS 1 validity—would not-the r secretary have the : pbwer6f:credting fufe? >Fj'audule'nt -returns .ffiight.brit'ecieiV'. ed from every county in thc commonwealth, I and men might be returned as duly and le- ] gaily elected, who had never been even can didutes before the people 1 This, sir, would be'tod nionstrous to be tolerated. If siich were even'attempted on the part of this Se-- nate, the -people would rise in one mighty mass, and with the fife of indignation flash ing frbm'their eyes, .they would Tush to the seat of government—hurl the infamous usur-, pers from power,.and. with, tiie.fierco’blastof the hurricane, Sweep them into tire deep wa ters of the-Susquehanna, where they would repose beneath the dark waves' of everlasting infamy! • • Sir, the people who. were assembled here, at the organization of this body, have been denounced as “ gamblers, bullies, butchers,” etc., from the county of Philadelphia, audit has been asked, what brought them here.— Now, sir, if thie Senate will so far indulge me, I will explain, as briefly as possible, the reason which induced so many of the free-- men of Pennsylvania, to assemble at the seat of ■government, i " The late gubernatorial campaign. as,.is well known, was characterized by the most unprecedented exertions on the part of .the friends of Ritner, in order that they might secure his re-clcctlon. No pains;were spared —no means,, however base and infamous, were neglected, id.bring about a triumph of the federal, party. , .But with all.their frauds —with .all, their forgeries and' perjuries—-, with all their bribery and corruption, and even \rith ;gll tjieir malignant, persecutions,' they were defeated,— ignomiritously defeat ed! This was contrary to their expectations —they were sanguine of success, and when defeat stared; them full in the fade, the hu-' initiating disappointment was tod overwhel ming, -and they were driven to desperation. The vaulting ambition of Thaddeua Stevens —his lofty.aspirations after power anil fame, were suddenly checked! Hit), hopes of .-n seat in the United States Senate, which his eye had long viewed in perspective, were blasted forever! Joseph Ritner, who had occupied the executive chair by.mere, acci dent, and not by consent of a majority of the people—gazed down into the dark sea, which was Boon to swallow him up in ob scurity, wtih" a holy horror! Thomas H. Burrbwcs; who had been the trumpet of his own fame, and. who had fondly .cherished the hope of sipping the sweets of office for another three.yeai-s, shrank with dread from the contemplation of the dark vale ,of obscu ,rity from which. he, had raised by executive favor, and into which he was soon to retire forever! Charles B. Penrose, who— bill alas! poor Voriclc! Scarcely was the triumph of democracy proclaimed through the land, and while the people were even yet rejoicing ,at the pros pect of being freed from the corrupt and ini-, becile administration of Joseph Ritner,. when they were .startled by a-proclamation.froin \ Thomas H. Burrowes, ordering the friends titude, abide the result!” —And soon, the infamous -plots which had been framed to cheat the people out of their legally elected representatives,! and to smuggle, by means of fraudulent reflims, those who,had.not been elected, into’ their scats, were gyaudn ally developed 1 The federal organs of !the ! administration proclaimed abroad among the people, that tire fraudulent returns shotfld be received, and tbe minority members ad mitted to seats,in the legislature “PEACE FULLY if they COULD but FORCIBLY if the;) MUST!!” Sir, could'it bepossible that these men were so blinded by.their.in fatuation, as not to fdresee the consequences of such a declaration? Could they, suppose the'people of Pennsylvania would suffer their dearest and.mpstsacfed rights to be invaded, without coming fo the fescue?' If so, they knew but little of the.spirit of tiberty which glows in ithe bosoms of Pennsylvanians!— they knew ; b’ut little of the patriotic .attach ment which they cherished for their country, and its civil.institutions 1, , But the come to the rescue Not from the city and, county of Philadel : alone/;but from every county ip the State !' Aye. sir, I'might add.tbatncnrly every, hill and .everyJvaTley throughpu t . this wide extended Com mon w eal th, furnishedits quota oh occasion! And I hazard noth ing sir, in 'declaring it as my belief, ,that-if this 'Senate , had-pereisted-in carrying-out their scheme of fraud and. villany, .Pennsyl vania would have been involved in all the horrors of a civil revolution!, Committees of Safety sir, were the .off spring of the revolution.. They .were ap pointed in'every part of the countfy. as the first measures adopted by the people, in the absepce of any government which would , re cognize'iheir undoubted rights-as freemen! But,, sir, the Senator from-. Allegheny (Mr. 'Williams) ’cannot .hear, the Committee of Safety mentioned,' without portraying., to ■himself all the .horrors, of the French revo lution! His' imagination is affrighted .with the bloody visages of Robespierre, .Daritoh, and Murat! -.- He charges us' with, .treason; and would have'us hung as traitors! ‘He charges us as ..villains—men of irifamous character-desperadoes-—vho would, have nothing to loose,; ajid every thing to gain by a reyolution. and with being Hieri of desper rate fortunes!

I refer to It merely to shoiv with what malignity 1 was assailed by the federal papers, .in order to create k prejudice against me, calculated to defeat my election. . ■ . I was denounced, sir, as the ringleader of the mob—-with being at the head of a law less rabble—commander L in-chief of all the rebel forces—and Gerieralof the Provision al government! I was charged,by Stevens at all the public meetings which he got up for the purpose; as a traitoi— and he boldly asserted that I was.ihdicted for treason, and that I was; or soon would be,; incarcerated within the walls of a dungeon, and in chains, the companion offelons and criminals only! Sir, I have been arraigned before the highest tribunal on earth—the people! They nave listened'to all the charges which have been preferred against me—they have carefully examined and weighed all the evidence, and pronounced their, judgment upon my con-- duct! They consigned me—not to the damp and loathsome'duAgeon— but to a seat in the hall of this Senate— and'if there are felons or criminals here’, sorry am I to know it I : Senators have. dwelt much, upon the charges of fraud and conspiracy. Tins, sir, has beep the “stop thief” cry of the federal party, for tfie purpose bf securing themselves from public odium and indignation, and to draw public attention from tneir, own acts of treason, fraud and villany 1 What were the facts in relation to the election in Gettys burg. Did not ope hundred and four men swear that'they voted for David'B. Porter? And yet, the officers -of the.ele.ction ; return- • ed but eighty four! Was there no fraud practised on that Look again at Millerstown; where there- were-only’about One hundred rand sixty taxable.inhabitants in the whole district!Here, sir; Ihe'rail road hands were marched to the polls with drum andlife, surrounded, the budding, and pre vented .any citizen of the district who was opposed to ' Ritner from coming-, near the polls! Upwards, of eleven hundred illegal voles were taken W at that time by the Rit ner Inspector, although he knew they were illegal at the time! What folly and mean ness—what 1 base depravity', .then”,! is mani fested by the unprincipled scoundrels who charge these outrageous'frauds upon thedCr-i mojfratic party! Their foul conspiracies are also attempted to be charged upon the de mocratic party! Now, sir, I can prove that circulars were sent out by Thomas ,H. Bur . ' ttrsop-, posed to dc elected td”the'Tc^slatufe' J re-~ questing their attendance hepc, several days I previous - to “the “day fixed by law for the meeting of the legislature for the purpose of concerting measures to be adoptedfor'the or ganization of the legislature! It was spoken of publicly in Gettysburg, that a House of Representatives would be formed precisely in the manner in which the . Cunningham house was afterwards formed! . THaddeus Stevens declared in. the most public man ner, that the disputed members should be admitted to seats, and should retain them long enough to pass such laws as would strip the Governor of all his power, and take from him the appointment of the Canal Commis- j sioners! This can- be proven by the most a bundant and substantial evidence! ’ Even the Senator from Franklin, (Mr. Fullerton) if I hot, cbin testify to its truth.— Am I not right, sir? [Mr. F, assented.] — It can be proved, also, : thatthe federal'mera bers did meet at Harrisburg, in, accordance with the earnest' request of Mr. Burrowes, and ' that theyjielu nigMy .meetjnga, ,at which the whole plgn wasTSrmed for’the or ganization of the-Cunningham housepand so •well was'the plan matured. that fearing. in the confusionwhich' was-expected -to take plage,, they.-, copld not procure a bible •by which to swear the. members, Cunningham was provided-iyith apocket bible, which he was to have ready in his p'ocket.for ..the oc casion!. ’Who, then. is guilty of a conspira cy? Let dis people decide ! Senators have said much, in the course of this debate, aboiit threats of violence against individuals during the late disturbance.— These threats are changed upon the "Phila delphia Bullies as they arefcalled. , Now,- sir, if threats are of any consequence, per haps I, tdofean'edify the Senatejiby a rela tion of some facts in regard-.to them. -1 can prove, sir; by the most respectable witnesses, that I was marked out for assasaination by ■Stevens’ canal'men, and would be the fipst to fall, if violence were to be committed!— The same threats were made’ in'regard to others, also, of. the Committee-of Safety.— Do Senators -know Any thing,of this?

A few remarks in relatiofi-to this question;' and I have done..• , The amendment of the-Senator from Schuylkill," (Mr. Fraily,) is to 'exclude, I believe, the Volunteers- from... Cumberland county from pay. Now, Mr. Chairman, 1 Hope the Senator from,Schuylkill, will with draw his ataendmenti —If rioti'l trust the Senate wilbyotc it down. I Cannot con ceive, sir,-why that. Senator should wish to exclude the Cumberland troops from pay, and "allow it to-those fro'm.Fhiladelphia.— Perhaps the Seiiator can explain. The mere fact of a special act of Assembly being/re qiiired .in , this case, implies that something must be wrong in this, matter, that there must haVe been some illegality or informal ity in the call, or organization of those ar mies. From my knowledge of the militia laVvs'of this Commonwealth, and of the usa ges. of war,, there could'.be no difficulty whatever'about their- pay, were-the call not illegal and unconstitutional. >, .? •From my experience in the draft, zation and pay. of the troops called and mus tercd intol service, the course is.plain'.- When the Governor, Who is commarider-in-chief'of the militia and. Volunteers of- Pennsylvania, either under a requisition from the President of the United States, or in caae of rebellion, insurrection, or threatened invasion, calls upon the'militia or- volunteers, the militia being' classified, if he calls them,, they are drawn (jy classes!—if the volunteers, then by companies. When -troops so called arc mustered into service, and reported- at head quarters, theynre then immediately organ ized into companies, battalions, regiments, &c'.Vasfhe case may be; and all supernum erary officers, &c. are dismissed.. When the troops are discharged, they are*-if not sooner paid, entitled to thejsame pay, rations &c., ns the army of the United. States—their pay to commence three days before their first rendezvous, .allowing mileage for their .re turn home. I feel assured, 'Mr. that when the members of .titeSenateretlect for a mo ment on this subject, their high sense of justice will prompt them to vote down this amendment, and allow the Cumberland vol unteers the-full benefit of the provisions of this bill, • ■ , Mr. Chairman, there arc.other troops en titled to pay, than thoseproyided for in this bill, and after the amendment of the Senator from Schuylkill is finallyJdisposed. of,: 1 shall offer an amendment; prpvidi@>for the pay ment of two or more companies of volunteers, that were ordered and mustered into service, on the sth of December last, by Major John Ash, and marched as far as Petersburg, in Adams county,' where* their orders were countermanded, and the troops discharged.- JLshalt Vdte for the payment of, all the troops called info service.
