.The’.trial of the Commonwealth against
jßoh't Campbell, terminated on. Tuesday
'evening last. 'lt coinmeju:ed_on,.tlie_W.eiL
ihesday of the week before. The TESTI
MONY WAS PLAIN AND CLEAR, be
yond the possibility of doubt. -No defence
Was act up —at least in the argument —and
.“certainly none in the EVIDENCE. M e
Relieve the jurors were ten anti-masons and
two democrats
A more clear and indubitable case of Libel
was never made out, under the canopy of
Heaven. Every man, woman,
who reads the testimony will know t(;"and
yet we believe a verdict was brought in say
ino - that Robert Campbell, SHOULD PAY
ALL THE COSTS OF SUIT, and otlier
wise go clear.
The most earnest efforts were made by the
antimasons during -the trial, to not only
PREJUDICE, but CORRUPT the JURY.
In a free country, and Under the constitu
tion and laws; the trial by Jury is our surest
-safeguard. When it fails, and the people
■agree to throw it to the winds, life, liberty
and happiness are gone. Prostrate our con
stitutional rights, and we are not only a de
frauded, but debased community.
Before proceeding further, we will give
the-motion for a new trial, and one of the
causes which should urge it. We shajl then
make our other comments.

1. That the Commonwealth hasdiscover-

'following.
HUNTINGDON COUNTY,^S.
appeared John, Piper, who be
ing duly sworn, doth depose and say, that
•within the last fifteen days he had a conver
sation with Henry Bouslougly, one of the per
sons einpanrtelled on the trial of the above
-stated fcasej tin the subject of the trial of (he
case of the Commonwealth vs. Robert Camp
bell, at the store he attends in Gaysport
■Huntingdon county. Th it the said Hetfry
Bouslough stated that Campbell, the, defen
dant, would not be im'nd guilty, and could
not be, found guilty, for all that he had said
in the letter he was indicted for, was true;
deponent further says that this-conversation
was some time after the hiiddle of thUmiyek
•preceding the present Court, He further
stated that this'trial was all Tor political etfect
to injure thejintimasons. Deponent furtjleii
says that lie had frequently before that lime
heard the said Bouslongh speak‘on the sub
ject of this--trial, and frequently say that Mr.
Campbell,.the dcfcmlent, was not guilty and
could not be convicted.
JOHN PIPER.
Sworn and subscribed (bis 21st Aug. A. D
1839, before-
DANIEL AFRICA.
We leave this evidence of corruption with
out further co intent amlyrtss to, others
equally base. Oae of the jurors declared at
Mr. Jackson’s hotel that although Campbell
was guilty, he cnn/.l not agree to his convic-
tinr\,us it would put him out of society. —
Oilier jurors were practised upon, and pre
vious to the decision expressed the same o
pinion. Their names will he forthcoming.
Another fact is true —the jurors we e dog
ged by a pick of antimasons each day when
they adjourned—they w,hiked a few feet be
hind their antimasonic friends and said em
phatically they would rot before (hey would
agree to a verdict of conviction. They were
constantly plied with language of this kind,
their political feelings operated on by their
antimasonic friends, from beginning to end,
and right and justice finally prostrated.
Another of the Jurors, since the (rial, pub
licly declared that he and othyr jurors, al
though Campbell was guilty, considered that
a verdict of guilty would deprive him of all
the lights of an American citizen arid thht
■would be too hard—he thought a pity of him I!
After the jury retired, we learn there were
some foxes on it who' represented that if
Campbell was made to pay all costs it would,
be fully equal to a conviction, and that at
least tWo of Ihe.jilry were imposed on by this ■
representation. The plan was cunningly |
lad, cunningly managed and had its-effect. '
Tluiugh.nen antimasons were satisfied of hirl
. guilt, yet, forsooth, because the payment-of,
all the costs, amounting to five or six - hun
dred dollars, wasequal toaconviction,there
fore these honest antiinasons cailjiot coiiviet
him!! What a prostitution of honor, duty,
.and justice.’ •
The whole law, the whole evidence, and,
the whole charge of the court were so plain
and direct that no honest man could doubt
the result, no defence to many.of the counts
in the indictment, was set up—yet an apti
masonic jury.selected contrary to law, and
perhaps packed for the express purpose, nl
- though they say Rob’t Campbell is not guilty;
yet say the payment of-costs is. equal to a,’
verdict of guilty and that this malignant...
■"blackhearted man may in this wav escape,-..
If packed antiina-jnic jurors—if tampering..
"“antimasonic scoundrels—if antimasonic vil
lains are to lurnihe wheels, Jhere is anVnd

This cause was decided expressly, on politi
- ■ Ciil grounds; Antimasoniy came in with its.
minions, scorning and despising the laws add
the constitution; on the other hand the Dem

Destruction of the Turkish Army.
Alexandria, July 6.
The Egyptian army under orders of Ibra
him, having attacked the Turkish forces un
der Hafiz Pacha at Ilezib, beyond Aleppo,
the latter abandoned,the field .of battle after
an actiOnof two hours. All the mafciiel, in
in guns, cannori, ammunition, &c., has fallen
into the hands of the Egyptians.
The battle of Nezib, Ibrahim Pacha, at
the head of 30,000 regular troops and 14,-
000 irregular, made short work of the Tur
kish army, commanded by Hafiz Pacha,
consisting of 70,000 men. Nezib was as
decisive as Konia for the fortunes of the
Ottoman empire in its attempt to subdue its
rebellious but victorious vassal! The first
engagement was on the 22d of June, when
the Turkish cavalry was attacked, beaten,
and repulsed to Nezib.
On the 23d a second affair took place",
when-similar successes attended Ibrahim,
who pounced upon the Turkish cavalry atid
flying artillery, and after a combat of four"
hours the Turks were again worsted, leav
ing-fourteen pieces of-cannon and ail- their
ammunition in .the hands of the Egyptians.
But the crowning triumph of the latter was
on the 24th, when two"hours sufficed to put
the whole Turkish army to (lie rout, and, as
our readers- a ix: aware, to place all the ma
teriel of. war in Ibrahim’s power, who sat.
down in theT'fent of Hafiz, and dictated liig
triumphal bulletin to Ids father, the Viceroy,
in.winchiic says that “lie would pursue (lie
enemy if he couldCfind them.” Four (hou
'sand Turkish prisoners immediately entered
into the service of toe Egyptians. Ibrahim’s
despatch at Alexandria.on theSd>)»
widely lie stales that a general attack was
made by him on the Turkish'troops, Han.set
Pacha commanding the right wing, Soliman
Pacha the left, and .Ibrahim the centre.—
Well might the rejoicings in Alexandria be
enthusiastic. What Ibrahim’s ultimate in
tentions were, the correspondence before us
docs not explain.
' MARTIN VAN BURKN.
This distinguished Statesman ami iljustr’r
ous American may well be pioiid of the high
station lie enjoys, in the affections and es
teem of his fellow citizens, anil the memory
of-his talents and-virtue will -be-transmitleil
to posterity. Of all the Presidents ibat'have
been elevated to the chief administration of
public affairs, Martin Van Buren has been
surrounded by difficulties the'most filled
with danger, and the hardest to be avoided:
yet has he happily conducted our country,
through all these trials, with the most signal
ability and prosperity.
If nlay be thought that in saying-that his
administration has been more surrounded by
causes of difficulty than the periods of-iith-'
er Presidents, we have done him more than
justice; but on consideration, our readers
maybe disposed to take the same view of
this subject. Only foiir Presidents can com
pare with birti. Vn respect to the hazard of,
the times in which they were placed,—viz:
Washington, Jifferson, Madison and .lack-'
son. Washington came into the Presiden
tial office, when the war of the Revolution
was accomplished, and after lie, together I
with the other Fathers .of our Liberty bad
triumphantly vindicaled our national free
dom. In bis administration as President, he
had a controlling influence over public npin- (
ion; and men being wearied by the war of j
Independence, applied themselves heartily,
and thank fully to tUegrcat duty of carrying .
out.in sincerity the principles of political
(ruth. Tftie it is, a corruption was growing
up in the hot-bed of Hamiltonian aristocra
cy and monopoly, which threatened soon to
diffuse its evils oyer.the country; but life ad
ministration of Washington was not assail
ed by their convulsions, for the time wits too
early. .
, . Next in impor.lance'came the administra
tion of Jefferson; (he great expounder and
! faithful advocate of' the true principles
j Democracy. He fearlessly put his shoulder
' to the tnsly uf cleansing and.removing-lhee-
I vils and corruption which hail sprung up un
, der Hamilton and Adams;, and to him the
American people owe a debt of imperishable
gratitude, not inferior-to that which is due
to any. Patriot, in.any age.or. iii any-country.
His was a storiny period. But he had this'
advantage,—that he had not so vast, so ex
tensively diffused, so secret and irresponsir'
hie a combauatipri of chartered, invisible and
many-headeU Banking monopolies and An •
tdcrats, to contend-against! - He drew forth
his enemiescias it were, openly into the field,
as physical existences, and he most glorious

forces.,, ' '. ■ *

dtr bis administration, the second war for
national security and.independence washap
pily fought. ' ■ ■
But after Madison, the old principles of
Hamilton.and Adams-federalism again sunk
their mills deep into the earth. Tlieirgruwth
was concealed, and many mistaken and. de
ceived Democrats, and still more deceiving
pretenders to Democracy,- gave their silent
sanction to them. The .change was going
on so.silefttly, and thesnake was smoothly
winding its folds so-cunningly through the
tall grass, that the; people were not aware of
this near presence id the immateiV—until
Jackson laid bare Its horrid form, and shew*
ed the, people its fangs, ready prepared to
striktf the. death wot ml. He made battle
with it, and fearful was the battle.
But it was not until the administration of
Maktin that fhe,great arid final
batlle.was fought hetwei it.themariyjieaded
Hydra,with its ten thousand folds; ami the
principles of freedom; Thojßariks oyer all
o.ur Republics mustered -all Their force,-and
with-a desolation as fierce apd suddeij,-. its '
the overflow-of the Asiatic Cholera, they
polluted the fountains of law and justice, set
at nought the sanction of our-constitutions,
and by an invisible, mysterious and irre
sponsible power, prostrated at their pleasure,
the liberties of the' people. In this ivhirl
wind-aud-tenipestf what was saiil-of~Martiir
Van Buren? It was said of,him, that if he
could remain firm under such a conflict, if
he was made of the atujfj.hhi would not bend
and break under the force that was sweeping
the laud, lies was more than ■ mortal. Men
feared that.he .would not have the Jirmness.
But ,he had, and yet has the firmness for
that, and all other trying perils and panics.
Wise in council, sagacious, discreet and
prudent in deliberation, and always intent
upon the honor aftd good of our country; he
is bold as a lion in execution, and is as' firm
and unyielding in Ids just resolves, as over
was Gi(j). Jackson himself.. He unites the
wisdom of the statesman, with the courage
of the soldier; and has proved, that, although
surrounded by more alarming difficulties
than former Presidents, he is not inferior to
any of them in ability, and his administra
tion will be as distinguished and prosperous
as that of the best.— Weekly Pittsburgher.

THE NEW NATIONAL DEBT.
We were not a wire, in writing the essays
of a few (lays past of the States,
that any member of the Confederacy had ytt
betfn reduced to the deplorable—we might
almost call it desperate—necessity, which
we predicted would be a wide and general
consequence of the present reckless system
of borrowing, unless it can be by'some means
effectually checked—we mean the necessity
qfcoiitractihg new loans to pay the annual
interest on the old ones'! Tliat the great
and rich State of PennsylvatjiS* should be
the one to show so-vidons an exainpie, "adds
to the wonder and .adds still more to the
danger of the precedent. , Where was the
common.'sense-of her-million of freemen,
when they allowed such improvident, and
imprudent; and ruinous system to be impo
sed on them? The subjoined extract is our
.authority. It is the conclusion of the.reply
of the distinguished Senator from Pennsyl
vania, to an tyyitatiun to be present at a 4th
of July festival. ■ -
"Economy is a cardinal principle of dem
ocratic policy. It was the glory of public
•men among the anciciit-Romans, in the better
days of the Republic, to be liberal with their
Own money, tmd parsimonious with that of
the people. Generosity in individuals, when
they can afford to he generous, is a noble
trait of’character; but to be extravagant at
the expense of-'others is rank injustice to
them. The ‘Representatives of the people,
therefore, whatever disposition they may
choose to make of their own money, ought to
guard wilhTxtrcme care the money of the
people with winch they areen,trusted.' It is
a d.r.g.trd of Ibis democratic' prim iple
I winch has swelled to such an enormous a
111.unit llie Style deb' entailed upon ourselves
l-aiid those- who shall cuilte after'us. Who
S has not deplored the extravagant and profli--
iga’tc waste of he public money, during the
[period of -ill c late Administration, for the
purpose of subserving corporate, local and
individual interest, in which {he people gen
erally hail mreonrenr?—lTis iiigh time that
these abuses should be corrected. Our debt
is annually increasi.no, whilst wcare com
pelled annually to borrow money to dis
charre the interest upon it. Our public im
provements, on which we relied to' pay this
inteiesf, although highly advantageous to the
State, Irave as yet yielded little more than
was necessary to keep them in repair and
successful operation. The interest and the
honour of the State, equally required that
the main lines should be completed. With
out a resort to State taxation,* this can only
be'accomplished by t)te most rigid economy.
Iti our present_ embarrassed condition, how
absurd is,it in itself, and how unjust to the
people of the Slate, to be squandering their
money "upon objects of merely a local char-,
acter, or bestowing it in aid of wealthy in
corporated companies! Thanks, to the pres
ent Governor! he seems determined to arrest
[ this.profligate expenditure; and he may rest
■ assured that no-administration can now he
sustained, in. Pennsylvania, which shall not
observe the most rigid economy. The time
hits passed for being generous; wc-muSt now
seek only to be just, and to preserve the
public (aith inviolate, without taxing the
people if that be-possible. .'lhe excellent
principles so clearly stated, and so forcibly
maintained in the late financial report of one
of your own representatives, are those on
which the. democratic party ought to act, at
least until the public improvements sltjtll
become productive.-
—-In-conclusion,-permit-nie-hroffcryou' the
following sentiment: ■ _ '
lligid Economy—or, S late
The only alternative for . maintaining the
public credit. If the people desire to avoid
the -hitler, they must lake care fligt their
representatives shall practise the former.

THE undersigned challenges the U. States to
produce the equal of hi* ‘
&O&TA3£E'KOB.!3E POWER,
for beauty, stability, lightness and economy ar©
combined to a greater extent than in any other
hitherto invented. motion U regulated to j
the natural walk of the horses, and will give the
machine its.proper motion with a pully on the
cylinder-shaft eight Inches in diameter, which
is of vast impnrduice to prevent the bond from
slipping, nnd is a good guide for a farmer to tell
how much motion n power has. As there ate
some persons continually talking of their im
provements, a man withhalfan eye, by taking
notice of the pully can tell that it is all a hoax.
Among numerous other advantages which the
above machine possesses over all others now in
use are the fixtures for greasing every part sub
ject to frictipn, every pivot hnving-a cup suffi
ciently large to contain half a gill of oil, with a
tight cover to keep ihtf contents perfectly cle?m,,
which furnishes each pivot with an nmpte supply
of oil at all times, so that sifted the machine has
been used a day or two eigljt hundred or a theu*

In thrashing two hundred sheaves for want of oil
than would have .thrashed several large crops
with-proper care and attention. Duringjithe
past year upwardsrof fifty of theabove machines
liave been sold in this and Omon county, sever
al of which have been thrashing almost constant
ly during the thrashing season, and as a test of
ihcir superior claims to durability, the cost for
repairs for the whole number has not exceeded
fifteen dollars. Notwithstanding there have
been, comparatively speaking, no repiars need
ed, yet the undersigned, so far from following
the customary rule of care to have

several important additions calculated fonder
materially to the strength and durability of the

of plac : ng implicit confidence in the above state
