AMERICAN VOLUNTEIRr - BY SANDERSON & COUNMAN lii, CARLISLE: TKCTRSDAV, MAY O, 1830. , ICj^We invite the attention of our readers in the Borough to the communication in to days the signature of “C. B. P.” Tlie evil complained of by the writer is a growing one in this community, and unites some plan is adopted to-put a stop to it, our public squares and alleys will soon become os notorious for debauchery as the celebrated "Five Points” in the city of New York.— This vice with that of'Gambling is sending many of owr young men, and some of bur old ones too, headlong to the d 1, and it is high time that the virtuous and moral part of the community should take some meas ures to arrest the growing evils. JCr’We refer our readers to an article on our first page, copied from the Keystone, over the signature of ‘‘o. P. Q.” It is an able production, and is a' conclusive reply to the hypocritical, cant and s/an£,disembbgacd by Charles B. Penrose in-his’ ,, Addre'ss'to to the Freemen of Pennsylvania.” . The honorable ” Speaker may attempt to explain his conduct and apologize for his hegira from the Senate Chamber in the month .of December, from now until doomsday, but it will avail him nothings with the people.— Every attempt at justification will only re coil upon-Jiis own head, and sink hiS char acter as a publicTnan still lower in the es timation of the people. fcJ'Wc had intended some remarks on the proceedings of the federal antimasonic dinner party at Paul’s, published in the Her ald of last week; but as the subject is taken up by a correspondent, who is fully compe tent to the task, we think any tiling from us would be entirely superfluous. We mistake the character and abilities of “Senex,” if he docs not make some of the prominent oppo sition leaders wince before he is done with them. ’ . ' School Tax,—At a meeting of the citi zens of the. Borough, held at the Court House on Tuesday last, the sum of $lBOO additional tax, to be lavied for school pur poses the ensuing year, was carried by a large majority. The vote stood as follows, viz: For $lBOO 122 votes. For different sums, varying from $5O to $2lOO 5 Against any tax 5 Sight. —A meeting‘was recently held at Baltimore of the Butchers of that city, at which they resolved that after the 2d inSt. they would not charge more than from 10 to 12 cents per 'pound for the best pieces of beef, and if not able to procure cattle at a proportionable price, they would vacate.their stalls, and assign'thcir reasons for this course.

Standard Weight 6/Orain.~ The follow ing, which we clip from one of our exchanges, is important to farmers and millers:- A law was passed at the last session,of the legislature, regulating the standard weight of grain,.which we apprehend many of-our fanners and:millers are unacquainted with. By weight is undoubtedly the most correct way to arrive at the value of grain—and sellers as'well as purchasers are interested in having this standard observed. If the measure is used, the farmer has an opportu nity of imposing upon his customer with dry grain—and if the grain should be clean, the Imrchaser gets more'weight than the law sl ows, and in fact has the.better of the farmer. The act of March 10, 1835, says:—“The several kinds of grain hereafter mentioned, which are now usually bought and sold by measure, shall from and after the passing'oi tiiis act,- be regulated according to the follow ing standard-weight per bushel; to wit: the' weight of each bushel of Wheat shall be 60 pounds, of each bushel of. Bye or Corn 58 pounds, pf each bushel of Barley 47 pounds, of each bifshel of Buckwheat dS pounds.and of each bushel of Oats' S 2 pounds: provided, that ' frothing- in this "act contained -'shall 'be' construed so. as' to prevent- any peraoklor persona from selling and buying-the several' kiods of gr&iiTaforesaid by .tneaBura.'. : “The galled jadc^winces.”— Our remarks two weeks ago relative to the. Herald’s de fence of duelling appear to have had Jtheir intended effect,-if we.may judge from the tone of that paper last week. But, like SB guilty culprits, the editor attempts to sneak out of the dilemma in which'we placed him, by charging us with' “garbling'’' his remarks on that subject. Now, this wc-dcny, and oft’eras proof the Herald’s own admission in its bungling attempt to fasten the charge of disengenuousness upon us. “Since we penned that article,” says the editor, “we have reflected more deeply upon the matter, hnd fnowjbelicve that there are no circum stances which can either palliate or justify a resort to deadly weapons.” If this admiss ion don’t fix the charge of having on a for mer occasion “countenanced” the foul prac tice, then we are at a loss to conceive what the editor meant. \Ve are~ glad however, that he now shows some signs of contrition, and trust that hereafter he will leave it to other hands to defend the character of a professed duellist and murderer. The term “convicted libeller, ” which is again made use of by the editor, has been rung upon our ears-so. often by the same contemptible scribbler, that we can now let it pass by us “as the idle wind which we re gard not.” Did the charge come from any other-quarter, we might possibly furnish an opportunity to a Court of Justice to say whether or not the .writer should he—placed in a situation of which.it was the anxious desire of the Herald junto ive should be-ih exclusive possession. But we pity the vetty malignant creature whose name yet stands at the head o‘f that paper, and shall leave him rave on in his character of scavenger for all the filth and uncleanness which flows from the kitchens ol his unprincipled mas ters.; 'jf'J Herald Junto ate out full blast against Gen. JVliller—from which we infer that his speech in the senate has had it? in tended effect. The wounded pigeon is al ways known by its fluttering—and the bit terness exhibited in the article in question, sufficiently exposes its paternity. But it won’t do, gentlemen. The drippings of Penrose’s kitchen may be liberally bespatt ered upon the devoted head of our distin guished democratic Senator—his lagueys may attempt to ridicule this fearless cham pion of the rights of the people—and the scunilous Jilth sheet under their control may heap all manner of abuse upon him, and, true to its character, may,thrca(en to com pel him to “avow” or disavow certain ex , prcsaiona.or a. cliaUengc tHII - Say all this may be brought to bear against him, and yet he will continue to occupy the proud position he now does in the eyes’of the pub lic,the bold unflinching representative of the people--unmoved by calumny and regardless of all their threats against his life. These miscreants have mistaken their man, if they think to. frighten Gen. Miller into silence, and they will bitterly regret their temerity if they make an attempt against his person. |t/“Penrose’s Herald denies that Gen. Miller wrote out his own speech, and says that it never was delivered in the Senate. Will the veritable editor tell us who did write it for him? and will he also inform us whether all regular speeches, even those de livered by the “talented” speaker, are pub lished precisely as they were delivered? Is the editor so ignorant as not to know that the speeches, as taken down by the reporters, arc always submitted to the authors for their correction and improvement ? That Gen. Miller’s speech is published verbatim et literatim, as delivered,will not be contended; b.ut that the substance'ot his remarks are correctly andtiuly given, we have not a doubt. All who are intimately acquainted with the General, know him to be possessed of a strong and vigorous intellect, and, al though not a. lawyer, (which is no serious, objection,) is capable of expressing his ideas in a clear and forcible manner, and with precision and accuracy. tT’The case of Judge Darlington of Chester county, which was pending in the Supreme Court, has been dismissed in con sequence of the death of that gentlemani (CT’The latest intelligence from South America is, that a battle had. been fought near Lima, between ■ the Chilian and Peru vian armies, eaclf 6000 strong, which re sulted in the loss of about 1500 killed and wounded on each side, and the defeat of the Peruvians under Santa Cruz.

Editors: —This is emphatically, the age of wonders, and one.of the'most spe cious-instances of deception 1 with which the community is. from. tiiAc to time hoodwinked by reckless and infuriated partisans, is to be found in the Herald of last week, in its silly attempt to cover an almost'cntire failure, liy publishingthe proceedings of the few feder al' antimasonic patriots who dcvodro'djthe Uitner dinner at Paul’s the week previous, as those of a "large” meeting, tfhat the community, generally, may rightly appre ciate the merits of that spirited affair,'l pro pose taking up the Jlddress, Speech, and Toasts drank upon the. occasion, and expose thesebantlings of falsehood and hypocrisy in their naked and undisguised deformity, so that their authors may receive that credit from the public for their performances to which they are so justly entitled. And if any of the prominent worthies concerned in that truly ludicrous affair shall feel sensitive Under, the lash which shall be applied in this and the succeeding numbers, (for, with your permission, I intend to follow this up with several more communications on the same subject,) they will bear in mind that they, themfielyes, have futnishedthc material, and if the rod has been provided to nl.asli the rascals naked round the world,” it is no fault of mine, and cannot be charged to my account. With these introductory remarks, I ,shall now proceed to notice and dissect the very learned and eloquent address reported by the very astute anA-erudite chairman, whose qualifications were not of that kind which ffi</“recommend him to the voters of the 13th Congressional District” at the last general election—the. ignorant country boors think ing, no doubt, that it is not every lawyer who is best calculated for a statesman, nor every- patrician by birth and feeling, that is capable of 'representing' the Fanners and 'Mechanics. -Uytyked upon by our would-be nobility ns the pfeheietns of the land. , This learned patrician, after applying the ordinary q'uantity.-of "soft sniveler ” to the 1" troubled min'd of Joseph Ritner, and after' the'usual How,of hypocritical tears about! “the influence of teichcd men in-the coun- j' cits of the General Government,’! concludes' the-first paragraph of his very able address.) by felling his gaping auditory (hat the coin- ' mittce “begins to feel that our[thcir] sup-, plications for right [officethey mean,] must be to the throne of power in -1 stead of to the unbiassed judgments of a free people”—thus displaying in bold relief the! cloven foot of federalism, and tire unwilling- j ness of the scrub aristocracy to abide by the j decision of a majority of the people. The idea, however, of appealing to revolution to; .putJown tlm people, the ‘bone and sinew’! of the land, whose “unbiassed Judgment” has sounded in (ones deep and loud, the funeral knell of federal antiinasonry, is the extreme of absurdity, and is worthy the au thorship of/this unique production. The Knight of La Blanche could scarcely have i occupied a more ludicrous position in hisl attack upon the Windmills, than would these I modern Don Quixotes in their contemplated attack upon the liberties of the people. The learned committee commence the se cond paragraph of their elaborate essay, by stating that so long as "wisdom, virtue and patriotism characterized the government of the country, we [they ] were taught to be lieve, that power emanated from the people; but now MONEY is the source of power, j (the writer must have been dreaming of Jianks, Shaving Shops, Shin Plasters, fyc. ipc. when he made this candid admission!)' and public officers, are made the. instruments to give it a conupting influence, [a sore thrust, by the way, at the bid cx-Governori if we reflect upon the Conduct of the public officers- during the late gubernatorial con test; for it is notorious that the public mon ey was expended with a lavish hand ami the Commonwealth reduced to a state of bank ruptcy, in order to smother the popular will and perpetuate the felgn v of federalism in Pennsylvania!] and this is shameless! y,as serted to be the doctrine ofthe dominant [democratic] party :in tlie Senate of the U. States.” [’Tisyb/se—and I challenge the authors of this base and malicious slander to produce a single instance in which a demo cratic Senator ever avowed such a doctrine.] Again, these' veritable committee men re mark—“we [they] have just cause of alarm when we find that the expenses of the Gen-, eral Government have increased since the administration of Mr. Adams, from twelve to upwards of thirty millions a year.” This also is false, and'the trulh-lovingcqmmittee must have known it at the time they author ised the pubHcation of the unqualifiediasscv tion; The well established principle of law is, that an individual is always presumed to be innocent until he is proven guilty. Let them, then, come on with their proof, on the strength of . which they have made such a sweeping declaration,, and J pledge myself to meet them at the bar of public opinion, and prove the . assertion destitute of any 'foundation in fact,- . The balance'of the paragraph is taken up with a tissue of hypocritical cant, about cor ruption, lawless desperadoes, mobs, riots, &c. which is unworthy of notice. The concluding paragraph, which is an appropriate interlude to the foregoing, is inade up of fulsome-adulation to. the poor imbecile who lately, figured as Governor of the Commonwealth; but as this communica tion is. already a greater Jength than at. first intended, I shall forbear making any further remarks-at jthis time..

Newvillc.'May 6, 1839. \ ; For the Volunteer. Messrs. Editors:— l have long thought that, something should be done to depress and banish one of the mo§|„ glaring and un godly vices, of our town; and as 1 am at a loss to imagine what course most effectual should be taken, I have concluded to sub mit it for your consideration. That we should endeavor to cultivate vir tue and bani'slrvice'it is riot worth my while tb show; ;and though we may not be able to enter the midnight haunts of wickedness and crime, yet I think we have, oratleastshould have, laws to banish that which is carried on in open day. Hut to the point, if you are in the habit of walking our streets, the public sqiiafe par ticularly, during twilight and eveniilg, you cannot avoid seeing the evil to which I re fer. At one corner may be seen a concourse of girls,- bearing the attire and conduct of enticers, and at another a company of yoTths and young men, void of understanding. The latter are easily enticed, without much fair speech, and soon the alleys, the private lanes, and, I might add, houses of ill fame are their, favorite retreats. If this course of conduct stopped here it might be tolerated; but one | concourse is scarcely gone ere another ap ! pears. Yea, degrading as it is to our town, ! they continue prowling ami sometimes stop ping, the street walks until a, late hour of (night, and in too many cases the dawn of day tells a pitiful talc. I have often wondered from whence these girls came, and what were their occupations (luring the.day; but, now, from observation, I have concluded that a majority of them arc the hired girls of our citizens. Now, Messrs. Editors, if this be a fact, and I cannot doubt it, arc not such citizei-s to blalne? Xhey must either be in the hab it of suffering (heir back doors to remain un | bolted until a late hour of the night; or else | j they permit (heir hired girls to pass the j [ night elsewhere. I believe that, in too many j leases, both is the fact; and I would ask if' (his course should be toleratedwith impuni~ ty?• In many such instances our most worthy ' citizens arc, emphatically, the enconragers of these vices; and I appeal to them, to say, if they are not neglecting their duty, not ( only to (hose who are placed under them, but toMheir God? " |’ This neglect, oh the part of our citizens; ; appears to be theifountain head from whence | most, if not all, tbf/tlic'Sc evils emanate. Let ' our citizens-look to this; fact;' let (liem sce to having the doors and windows of their dwel i lings fastejied,ati a .proper hour—their do mestics in their chambers at the regular time for retiring—and the present aspect of things will soon change. Then our evening walks of recreation, pleasure, and meditation shall cease to present scenes of horror and dis gust. Then our virtuous citizens and Chris tian young ladies shall be permitted to re tire from the hoiKe of worship without in sult. Then the galleries ul our churches shall cease to be turned into places for sgutnttng', tvihlcihg, and ' laughing. Then "in fine, the prowling* of (his class Of animals shall be confined to-places not known to those of virtuous habits and Christian spirits. Then, it is evident that if private citizens attend to their duties, as such; (here is but one step more to be taken to effectually re store us to that sterling virtue and perfect order of days gone by. Let bur public offi cers be on the alert; let them remember the duties which they owe to themselves and us; and even labor to banish an evil which bids, fair to prostitute and stigmatize the fair fame of innocence and youth. • * * M essrs.

' Some interesting notes accompany this statement, for which we regret we cannot 'find .space in bur columns. With regard to New York.it is mentioned, that she com menced stock in 1817, for (he construction of the Erie .and Champlain, canals. The sum of $600,000 was issuetf prior to 1820— The laws of 1817 created a board of com missioners of-the canal fund, consisting of the state officers,i and placed under the man agement of the bbard specific revenues which were pledged, for the payment of the money borrowed.

The laws author ising. money to be borrowed previous to 1825, contained the following provision, viz:—“that it shall not be lawful for the commissioners of the canal fund to . make loans under this act, beyond such amount as for. the payment of the interest thereof, the canal'fund, at the time, shall be.deemed am ple and sufficient,” ‘ C.
