OUR FljJiUt. * *Npw our flag is flung to the wild wind Iree, Let it flout n'er our •father land/* And the guard of iu spotless fame shall be, • Columbia's chosen hand, o'* 0 '* • FOR PRESIDENT IN 1840, MARTIN VAN BUREN, - AND AN INDEPENDENT TREASURY. jtn Independent Treasury,— whose officers re •sponsible to tho, people, instead of privileged corporations, shall guard the people’s money.— Democracy, psks in vain, what claim have the banks to use this public treasure ns their own,— again to cohvert it into ah engine ot ruinous ex pansions and contractions of the currency, and of new. political panics and pressures, to enforce submission to the Money Power;— Hon . diunes Buchanan's Toast. VOLUNTEERING, Many surmises have heeh started in anticipation of opposition to tho nominees of the convention.— ;We think, however* without any cause. Tho great democratic principle, , the very basis upon . which our beloved government stands, is obedi ence to the majority. Originally all act} and, as no man in the community is unrepresented in Congress or tho Legislature, so'no democrat is without representation in the county convention. The delegation assembled from every district, closely conversant with tho views and feelings of ", the people thereof, is much more competent, after , tho free interchange of sentiments, to, estimate the respective claims and merits of the persons named before them,, than such as are not placed in an e qually favorable! position. With that conciliatory spirit which regards tho common welfare of theparty, good, true,and faith ful men have been selected by the convention.— When a greater number of sound and. worthy de mocrats appear than there are offices to fill, some must necessarily bo disappointed for the time; but this with a democrat—a man who places principle before' selfishness, can never -tend feather's weight, to from his convictions of duty i and integrity..: Such is a noble .bccasion for the of magnanimous and disinterested pa triotism. The man who sacrifices on the altar of public good, personal pride and feelings, is worthy of tho cause he supports. His claims will become more striking—his fidelity has been tried; his sin cerity as a partizan tested—and his merits will not long pass unnoticed. ... But suppose disappointment begot* restiveness, and he consents to abandon hispolitical tenets—to transfer himself to his - former foes, who recognize a man’s merit, with wonderful promptness, when Ixis sacrifice and disgrace will subserve their petty echemes; what, in this case, r must be the inevitable result? At once, he loses the confidence of his democratic friends; his course indicates him as a partizan merely for interest; and his political pros perity is unavoidably cut short. Does any doubt of this consequence? Let him look abroad and loam the result of party desertion, by a White, a Bell, a Rives or a Tallmadge; or let him turn his eyes to tho evidence of his senses—to the political oblivion of. those who arrayed themselves against democratic organization—of a Penrose, Harper and M’Koehan, and every other anxious expect ant, who could not wait until merit gained for him anamination. f,i . Any man who cannot prevail before the conven tion, cannot prevail in thecounty. No better cri terion ofa man’s present popularity could be pos . eibly devised than the decision of the delegates.— We boldly .'aver that no man in thecounty, who trusts to his personal political strength, single and unsupported by party influence, can master three hundred votes; that no man who runs under the euspices of our political opponents, can reach, by ' o thousand electors, the. candidates of the demo cratie party. Let no one, then, desert the citadel which he Has long guarded, in the chimerical hope of leading the foe to its surprise and possession. He can only fall into the pit opened by himself. The ticket is now settled, and whilst -maiiy ■ worthy man have had the present, we trust that none will show any dis position to reverse the decision of their delegates “iiTtKe county convention. That body, fairly con atituted by the will of pie people, has spoken—the delegates .hayetdonfethe very-best they could un der the circumstances—and it becomes us, one and all, to rally to the support of the ticket. Let our motto be—“the ticket* the whole ticket, and noth ing but the ticket,’’.and success will, as hereto fore, crown the efforts Of the democracy of “old rnother'Cumborland.” “We may yet bo able to prove conclusively that a certain Locofoco Congressman as charged by us did play at the game ofFarq at a celebrated wa tering place in this State; and that he did then and there lose twelve hundred dollars.” —Herald and Expositor.

Mr. Kamsoy,U not now a candidate for .office, and if he bo such a “monster,” why, were not the community apprised of the facts previous to tho late election! Why have we not now some direct charge made by these holy inquisitors! If the ■ trembling culprits who surround the Herald imagine that they will be indicted for,any positive allegations, they are mistaken.; We leave all auqh cowardly' proceedings to talented Senators, and we give notice to. these, worthy gentlemen, that Mr. Ramsey’s character, public and private, from the day ho was bom up to the'present hour, and every transaction of his life, good, bud and indif ferent, are now subject to their full, free and search ing inquiry; and that ho wiU, .at no time,' shield himself behind the ramparts of the law, (like the dastard Penrose) from the most minute investiga tiori. We throw the doors freely and widely open to the yelping pack of blood-hounds who have been,on his track, and invite tho puppies, Tray, Blanch, Sweetheart and all, to the banquet on which their hellish appetites seem to bo keenly set; end they may feast themselves freely to their hearts’ content, from June to eternity, on the pu- : trid morsels they may find in the common sewer, without eliciting any other emotion than a smile 1 of contempt from the individual against whom ] they set up their canine bowlings., The Democratic Republican Ticket is now pla ced before the people of Cumberland county,— What say you, fellow citizens, will you rally to its support with warm hearts and willing hands, or will you, because your particular favorites have had their claims unavoidably postponed, suffer the common enemy to come in and gain an advantage over you?, It is for youtodecidc—and with you we arc content to leave-the-question. Tho , indi viduals 'Selected for tho various offices [we say nothing.pf ourself,] are known to tho people of the county. They are all “good mfcn and true,” and will do honor to themselves and tho stations they are called’upon to fill. . Tho Herald lays down • the maxim, that “the private character of public ipen should be at all times open to scrutiny and freely canvassed.” Al though we despise the doctrine, and contemn the practice under it, we have no objection to carry out the principle “as far as he who goes the farthest,” and hereafter when any prominent individual in .some other in the ranks of the enemy for the pur pose of comparing notes with our traducers. We consider all persons public characters who partici pate in county meetings, mako speeches, write for newspapers, candidates for office, bar-room brawl ers, hired printers, major generals, rail road super intendents, ‘ conferee . doctors, brothers-in-law to 1 talented senators, &c. &c. We do not know but we may include all who tacitly assent to the dis graceful libels that appear weekly in tho Herald by tho countenance of their patronage to that pa per. We wish to be distinctly understood that whilst wo are subject to the assaults of our enemy, and freely expose ourselves to their grape and can ister, that wo will not suffer them to conceaLbe hind their masked battery their corps of engineers, and bombardiers., We are now prepared to, commence tho combat in the new, and if our Enemies please, we go for war to tho knife, and the knife to the hilt. THE OPPOSITION, Onr political opponents have postponed to a much later period thim usual, the nomination of .candidates to be run (not to succeed however,) at the Coming election. The object of this delay is manifest. They acknowledge their feebleness in the county—not the remotest contingency of suc cess existing;—and, since the repeated rebuffs and multiplied defeats which rush upon them from almost every county and state in the union, they are in utter despondency. ’’The design of delay—correspondent to the offi cious activity of some of the party—is to seduce, from the democratic faith such men as may be presented.before our delegate convention,' without prevailing in a nomination. They wish to create a division in our ranks, and then, according to cir cumstances, to throw their puisne support into the scale, so as to make it preponderate on the side of whig-anti-masonio principles. But inthis shallow device tiieycannot.succeed. - If they nom inate cindidates (as many shrewdly suspect) and concentrato -their strength upon Vbluntccrs,- the same result will follow ps though they should set tle, in convention, upon such uneasy aspirants. In either case, utter, overwhelming rout awaits them. To;be identified with such men and such princi ples is sufficient to gain condemnation for the most innocent. To be yoked to the train of Charles B. Penrose and his heartless compeers in treason, is the strongesfpossiblo ovidenco df guilt. No njap who suffers himself to be seduced into the com pany of criminals and rickety politicians can ever expect to ride into office on the oar of popular fav or. Such deluded aspirants grope in the dark. The “Riot” Cases — The Issue. —lt is well known tor the people, says the State Capital' Gazette,' “that seven gentlemen were, at .the instigation of Thomas H. Burrowes, late Secretary of the Com monwealth, and several other individuals, bound oyer to answer for a conspiracy and riot. The Grand' Jury returned a true bill, which, however, contained the names only of Messrs. Pray, M’Ca hen and Cox being indicted,"Tiy.whojn Messrs. Barton .and Axuicks were,employed as counsel. ° “Onmption of Mr. Barton, apetitionwasfilod, setting -forth certain exceptions to the presentment of the sq ca/feTGrand Jury, whichwasordered to be recorded. ■ The exceptions briefly alleged ille gality in the selection and drawing of the Jnirors,- and upon" which lho counsel 1 asked tile court to quash the indictment.; ’ ■ ' ; ‘ ; “Messrs.

How - will these political tacticians manage to satisfy both fragments o'f thio amalgamated mass?, The simple question is, will the independent whigs succumb to the fiat of antimasonic Penrose, or will this grea sy plotter and little band of trained cormorants fall into the rear of the leading Clayitcs? Will true political sagacity allow the wliigs longer to con tinue the dupes and supple instruments of this ill starred adventurer? Will they still suficr the few remaining antimasons to choose the candidates,and then quietly yield acquiescence therein? -Have the whigs of Cumberland less spirit than the whigs of other counties; and .will.they be whipt into the support of the disorganizing Penrose, who was driven out of the whig Chambersburg Convention? —a man who has crushed every cause to which he has ever attached himself; who has less political foresight than any other unprincipled caterer for popularity in the Union; and whose mean, paltry and shuffling schemes have continually exposed himself and his partisans to profound contempt and ridicule. The progeny of-this unnatural connec tion will bo brought into existence in a few days. To us it is of little consequence, since wo can de feat them with equal facility single or united. The Herald continues to libel the character of Mr. Ramsey .by base inuendocs, without daring to give a decided affirmation to its charges. This course is as disingenuous as it is shallow. The community know full well, that the bitter animosi ty—joined to envious malignity-harbored by Penrose and Crabb against this gentleman, would suffer no occasion to pass, if they had but. the slightest basis' upon which to rest, to lacerate and destroy his reputation. The falsity of the insinu ations—however covertly made—arc well known to all who are acquainted with him. The asper sions are known to the traducm; himself to bo groundless; and, therefore, the wilful'reiteration of them, evinces a high degree of moral and malicious . disjjonesty. ® ' But the amazing profoundly of the editor’s rea soning is even more strange than the discontinu ance of his mercantile pursuits. Why apply his remarks to Mr. Ramseyl Ho did’nt name liiml Did wo name the antimasonic editor in our re marks,_to which he took exception, in an impotent tirade against us.(the. senior editor)!Did we give half as many indications to identify the individual, as ho; and yet how promptly and unconditionally did he ascribe-to himself the fitness of what wp,ut tered? Were we to say, a senator ‘well known in this district,’ an off-oast of the democratic ranks conveyed himself, in fee simple; to the U. S. iiank, for a suitable quidprfflfao, could there bo any dif ficulty in ascertaining the individual. We should think not; and we Should regard him who could not instantly point his finger to the mart, as little bet ter than a simpleton. So, also, wo regard the moral editor, in his silly essays to divert attention from his manifest conviction of a most wicked li bel on our esteemed" Congressman. Will he dare to give the authority Upon hvliicli he makes it? In return "we promise him to substantiate all that we asserted, which seems to have so greatly milled his tender feelings. Now we, witli good reason, may ask, why did the editor appropriate to himself ourobservatiqnsl are there no others to whom they might equally applyl Go, ask the god-father of bankrupts, if some one in his numerous (lock does not answer the description! If there be none, then, truly the coat must be a tight fit. Speech of the Hon. Ciias. J. Ingersoll. We have read with much interest the remarks of this gentleman at the late Harvest homo cele bration in the county of Philadelphia, His com ments on the subject of banking are strong and to the purpose—wo extract the following: The deception which has been successful, of palming off .paper on people for gold and silver, is as mere a fraud as wooden nutmegs, but much more injurious than that small frttud. It is the grand imposture of modern times, amf the great antidote of free govern ment. Witchcraft is less foolish (and re spectable quakers were hanged for it) than thet slight of hand by which thousands of our pour deluded fellow townsmen arc sold to'the evil spirit of "paper, money. Witches are poor devils. But money-mongers are terrible loco-focosthat-go off by-spontaneous Combustion, and, like burning‘prairies, con sume all before them. Borrowing by dis count is the subtlest of seduction, the very worst of all ways of being led intq tempta tion. Accommodationjjhper is millions gam-i bling in millions. If one. steals a cent it is -larceny; but if one hundred incorporated, cheat-widows and-orphans of nll they-have by paper money, they are privileged by law, to do it, and go to church" like gepjlemen.— It is wonderful, how a free and considerate people can submit to such absurd wrongs. The paper money-mongers are at once sui cides and fratricides. They destroy money, morals, law, order, industry, liberty, equal ity, and property. They ruin the very standard of value. Where is the,use of Congress being empowered by the constitu tion to fix the stand aid of weights and mcas urcSjOf every, wild-cat bank can unsettle it; make a yard four feet long or one as it please; a bushel, hold or a gallon; a pound weigh an ouncc Or two pounds? Gambling," habitual intoxication, betting on elections and other misdemeanors, are nothing to’this monstrous vice and immorality. Police re ports' and insolvent courts are. full of its perpetratora and victims—-jails not so full as they niight be. - It is.not the crazy instru ments of the contrivance who are so much to blame; as the system itself,'which is fatally false,-and ought to be exposed. Tha best men in the world could not make W other than very bad. Jit is incredibte how the few lead the many iii this matter—How they pinch the poor and cheat the rich—the poor rich, too blind to see the hands filching'them.''

Instead of presenting 1 a’ yieW of this part of the subject now, how ever,! mu st I cave thattail of the aristocracy for some'future: exposition; and close at present,by one practical and personal illus tration. There was a poor village boy, of humble parents, who managed as he grew up, by good conduct to work his way along, till he saveth some-money,-by-practising as a /lawyer. He.resisted tlie temptation ot spec-, ulation, thbugh.it wps rife all about him, and stuck to his business.-- 'While his acquain tance were most opthem all agog for making money by banks and other corporations, and hunting their fingers by discounts to get ricli in a day, ho preferred investing his. gains in land, and leying it Tie like seed to. ripen and boar, fruit. By such investment, ns often happens, he grew rich, so ricli- that- Jte said he was ashamed for thinking so much of it. His neighbors finding bjm trustworthy, called him into service, in the state legisla ture, and he gradually rose from one place to another, till he became such a public fa-,, voritc, that crowds,of people welcomed him like La Fayette, wherever he went, and es pecially cpuntry.people. - Some say he drives a.gilded coach, with servants in fine liveries, which if so, is not like his taste gcnerallyr though probably it is a. handsome I .equipage, as he has become President of the United States, supplied by law with liberal means to maintain the dignity of that elevated sta tion. Messrs. Editors.—Hitherto my pen has remained idle; hereafter it shall be active.— The malicious .dishonesty of our political foes under the command of the talented Senator and his vagabond hireling has driven me from my purpose to suffer the coming campaign-to pass without sharing in the stormy convulsions. Not ..content to flgat down the stream of corruption, upon whose fetid surface they delight to riot, than which themselves are eyen more rotten, they spread far and wide weekly emissions from their contagions carcasses. With tiger ferocity, they have rushed upon private character; they have dashed their blood-stained talons through the veil that shelters individual priv acy from public scrutiny; and ruthlessly lap ped their murderous tongues in the mangled character of the honest, the respected and virtuous citizen. -Having long buttoned on the accumulated mass of carrion that befouls their undisturbed precincts—pandering to their keen and fretful stomachs—(hey have overstepped (he limits set to their nauseous breathings and sought to slake their gory ap petites in the blood ot prostrate virtue. The reputations of men, who have eschew ed the vices and crimes of which these, ghost-ridden offenders are guilty, with as scrupulous anxiety as truth shuns the col umns of the Expositor, have been maliciously and liberally assailed’with the blackest as persions, the fabrications of their depraved hearts. Moral and social worth, the domestic privacy; the characters of.men who are nei ther candidates nor to political favor; ay, every virtuohs quality and every upright man, .whose honesty and respecta bility magnifies, by contrast,'their own de formed and hideous crimes, have been tra- duced with the like malignant'spleen. Un willing to measure a man’s worth, by his own acts, the misfortunes of others are ascribed to "him as vices, and where this fails, the forgeries of jealous and craven souls are re sorted to.

Miss Mary Fulton/an elderly maiden lar dy residing near Shippensbtirg.was entered and’robbedof twelve hundred dollars in spe cie, by three men. who appear to have been adepts in the business that led them to her residence. She had living with her, a brother, and'two young women. .The brother was knocked down by the robbers, one of whom demanded the money of Miss F. and threat ened her-with instant death if the demand was not instantly complied with. The money was soon obtained, and the rubbers left. In the mean time the two young women had succeeded in escaping from the house and alarmed a neighbor, who in hastening-to the scene saw three men on horseback who were doubtless those engaged in the robbery, but were permitted to pass without suspicion.— They afterwards abandoned “ their horses, to enable them, it is supposed, the better to secure their plunder; Since the above information came to hand, a young man of this borough, by the name of James Cadopo, has been arrested on sus picion of being concerned in the above rob bery, examined before a magistrate in Ship pensburg. - and committed to jail in Carlisle to await further trial. Since the above was in type, Cadow lias been released from jail, by giving security for hisTippcarance at the next court. C/tambcrsburg Repository. THE €AM PHELL TUI AI, Since this packed political jury returned heir verdict, many of the jurors have solemn- ly assevcred that not one single charge made - in that letter of Rob’t Campbell, was Found ed in truth; nay, they have unqualifiedly de clared that DAVID R. PORTER, was s as clear as the child unborn of all these slanders —but the reason that Campbell was let off', upon, puying.all the costs, was that they were made to believe that if they would convict him— all tlis civil rights would be taken from him forever. They all say that Campbell was guilty, but they thought the five hun dred dollars it would cost him was as much as he.could bear! This from a jury—polit ically selected—political in-the"t)nx,-and talked to during the whole week when op portunity offered.by a squad of political and moral scoundrels. Thejurors were told they had the whole power and not to listen to the charge of the' court; their sympathies were enlined on the ground that Campbell would be ruined forever; and still no man upon that traverse dare this moment say that Campbell was not guilty in manner &form as he stood indicted. The costs being heavy, they icon- . sidcred that as sufficient punishment. Th§ hangman looking culprit may draw his so lace pibm that. But if for political ends, through political designs the acts official and otherwise of political villains the veryjfoun tains of justice are to be corrupted, then farewell to any other means of redress but the pistol and the dagger. All good citizens will agree—and do agree that such a state of things as we last week witnessed put an end to civil government! • ■’ We will publish the whole testimony' in this case, that the jury of the whole people may sec it—that we may know whether their verdicts will not be.cm eternal condemnation of the conspiritors and villains with double costs!!.' Every man-present who heard the,,evidence was' convinced of the total falsehood of the charges made against Gen. Porter; were convinced that the defendant. though he had perfect latitude, failed to rriaTTe., hut the truth of one single assertion; and the people shall also be convinced of the fact, and the black and damning villainy of the’ leaders-of the- federal party;- /hr ive-shall publish every title of , evidence given upon the trial, even to that of a. w. benedict and Jacob C less well .—Huntingdon Advocate.
