First. The declarations of John Adams Fisher, Esquire. ' , Second, The political complexion of cveiy jury drawn since .the jurors lor IBS9, were selected, and ... . .. Thirdly. The .evidence of political prej udice ami paniality exhibited in tiie conduct of the persons returned and empaniielled as grand jurors, at the present session in rela tion to this, indictment, and a certain paper or presentment whidt they returned, shortly after returning it. That John Adams Fisher, Esq. who is and from January term last, has been the counsel of the private prosecutors in relation to this matter, did say in the nuihth of March last, in. a public bar-room, when speaking ol this case* -that they : hail gai anti-masonic county, anti could pack a jury on the defen dants and convict them right or wrong; and swearing by a prolane oath that they would do it, is proved by evidence which is neither contradicted nor explained away. This declaration of Mr. Fisher, does not in itsell support the charge Against the commis sioners, and tho-comniissioncrs and their clerk have, under oafli, declared that they never had any conversation with* him in re lation to-the subject, and have expressed an honest indignation at the bare supposition that they sliould be coupled with such a charge. The court therefore treat this"3ec-, laratlon of Mr. Fisher, ps a piece of repre hensible bravado, which he might have been induced to utter from knowing the. fact, 1 which the commissioners and the clerk have not denied, that there was a very great, dis proportion between the number of jilrofs se lected from the two political parties in the county, giving the preponderance to ,thc anti-masons on the panels. Anil it perhaps may appear-in the sequel; that lie did not miscalculate the effect which political prej ' udicc might produce upon juries so constitu ted; Tne court do not find liny thing in the evidence to fasten upon.(he commissioners -the charge, of a corru pt combination to pack juries, but they cannot shut their eyes to (He ‘fact that a great disproportion exists in the political-sentiments of the persons selected, eo far at least as the juries have been drawn, and if such disproportion does exist, -from whatever cause it proceeds, it is wrong ,iq principle and practice, unless it is clearly accounted for in the legal qualifications of. intelligence and integrity, of the persons composing the two political parties, which clearly has not been done on the present ocr casion. The following (able, construCtcdlrom the evidence of Mr. Henry Peflfer, shows the number of jurors drawn out for eight suc cessive juries in the present year, the num on each which he knew to belong to the democratic and the anti-masonic parly, tlic number whose politics he did no! know, and (ha number, of each party, of those who re “eide in the borough of Harrisbtt,rg. £££« s-ais “§ s-iis ►r w a 3. ■ ~S i •Ml g*/* » 2. su re °c' a § °'a a s % - 3 11 c* o •« o g UUM3 ’°N -I n 5°X S> . cr. o* CC cs q: CC .*• ; ■■ ■ .ii o *6TIOS 3 g ESS 5 _ S3SS -urn-pay § _ -SltJWOUiaa -U) S O. 08 -J § ■ 1 ■ - V-j •eecmjuvoj r* § .

In the bmough of Harris burg the democratic party at the same elec tion, had.a majority of two hundred and six teen votes, out of eight hundred and twenty two polled; making the strength of the par ties 51,9 to 303. Yet in the County,, ns far as ascertained, the jurors drawn whole Countv, stood about ~t_wp and a half anti masons fo one democrat, and m thc borough of Harrisburg in about the same proportion. “ That such a result might have occurred once, "or even twice in drawing by ballot from a . . wheel, where the.partics were nearly equal ly represented, might be credited, although it would not'be very probable. There is no such probability, however," when the same thing occurred eight time consecutively} and accordingly we find it conceded by Mr. Puf fer and Mi. Hummel, that there was a pre ponderance of anti'masons put in the wheel, «nd they endeavor to justify it, by saying, . thaitii their judgment there is actually a dis proportion between the number.of persons belonging to die respective parties, who pos sess the qualifica-vins of “being sober, intel ligent, and judicious persons,” such as are. -required for jurors. Mr: PcJTer' states the difference to be, that.the anti-masons have three-fifths of suchpersons in the County, and the fiemocrats two-fifths; atid Mr. Huin mel estimates th»"difference ns being equal —to the results firawiifrons .the wheel, eyen in Harrisburg. . On the other hand. Sheriff Cochran and Samuel Pool, Eaqi who ejaim to know the County well, say that there are a, many men.in' the deraocratio party ,with in the Ci.ninty.or Dauphin, who are compe tent foxerva* on juries, as there arc in :tlje parly,.Wad Bhri-iff that CO 3 • V ** * Mr. Hummel does not know the County as well as he does, and therefore is not as ca pable of Jorining as correct a judgment on the subject ns be can. -The Court will pre sume tliat-eacb party in proportion to their numbers, contains" an. equal proportion of sober, judicious, and intelligent persons, fit to serve, ns jurors,-and if so, thc-reason why they are not equally the! jury box is not satisfactorily explained?. Tins circumstance, therefore, would induce'the Court to look for a strict and perfect com pliance with the letter and'spirit,of the law, in' regard to the selecting of the jurors and securing the wheel, &c. - ' . . It is urged that there is evidence furnish ed of the effect and operation of (his politi cal preponderance in the conduct of the grand jury in relation to this bill. ■ - That the grand jury greatly erred in their conceptions of what were their powers and duties, in presuming to act on a .bill of indictment which was improperly introduced before them, which the attorney general had refu sed to sign, and which could not be sent to the grand jury and be acted upon by them without an express violation of a positive act of assembly, is but too true; and from the political complexion, of that grand jury— their, conduct in the premises, ns well as in signing a presentment, evidently .drawn up by some persbn-..n6t one of the grand in quest, finding fault with the- attorney gene ral, for acts which ivere perfectly right and proper in that respectable officer, and for which he.had the sanction and direction of the court; we die ccnstrained to say. that they have given occasion for at least strong suspicion unit something else than a strict observance of the law of the land, and a due regard to the rights of the parties ac cused, has operated to warp their judg ments. On. the whole, in. regard, to the objections to the jurors, the court fbink {bey have been sustained, so far dt least, as to invalidate the acts of the grand jurors, and to require a new selection for the residue of the year. This strictness in regard to the process of selecting ami returning jurors, has always been observed in criminal cases.. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. llooffnagle and others, in the Oyer and Terminer o( Lancaster, (second Brown’s Reports,) de cided so long ago as 1810, Judge Eranklin sustained a,challenge to the array', lor.,de fect in the precept for holding the court, al though held at the time required by law, and mere wifs'pq objection to the mode ot se lecting the jurors, ami the requisite number had been drawn and summoned will) all care and form. And in this very case, the late amiable and talented President of-this court, of'Whose worth thc*court entertain, as high a consideration as that expressed by both the counsel engaged in this cause, quashed the bill of indictment found against the three defendants and eight others, for the same offence now charged, because’ the clerk of the former sessions, Mr. Mish.dn affixing the seal to the venire by mistake, happened to. use the seal of the court of common pleas, instead of that of the court of quarter ses sions. ‘ - - - , In coming to the conclusions stated, the court have been governed by a due regard to legal prccission and accuracy in its pro ceedings, To the supremacy of the laws, to the-purity of the administration of jus tice, and to an ardent and heartfelt desire to prevent as far as in them lies, the baneful influence of party politics from invading the jury box, which, in its purity, is (he great security of man in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property ; anil they sincerely trust that henceforth, such care and caution will be exercised in the selection of good men, as will entirely exclude all suspicion, or intention to give any political or party character to the jurors of this county. Con fidence in the integrity of the jurors is, as essential as it is in any other branch of our government, and such a course ought'to be pursued, as will effectually carry out the intention of the legislature, when they en deavored to makp provision to obtain im partial jurors, and also to leave no well grounded apprehension on the mind of the losing parly in court, that his want,of suc cess is attributable to the improper selection of the jury.

" ■ It is almost needless, we think, to say any thing witlrregard to the prospects of the Democratic party iii tills county. It appears to bo admitted on all hands, (oven by some of tho more knowing federalists, themselves,) that.tho party is-more nu merous and firm in their principles than at any former period. ; The events that transpired at Har risburg during the minority misrule of Joseph Rit ner mofo particularly the infamous attempt in the month of December last, to usurp tho government have opened tho eyes of many honest and substan tial men who have all along voted; with sition. These mon’have heretofore looked upon the democrats as a sort of. 'disorganizes, and as men tyho wished to subvert the-laws of the land in order to promote anarchy and confusion. They thought—and honestly tee—that we were opposed to law 'and order; but they have at length found their, mistake. They now see that the democrats are the real conservators of tiro peach—the tnie friends of law and order. \ When the Capitol of tho State was assailed, by order of Ritner, Stevens, Penrose and Burrqwes, with a strong military force armed with Cannon, Buckshot, Bayonets and _ Laiicos, for the express purpose of murdering the peaceful citizens of our Commonwealth who were there assembled, and to subvert the constitution and laws—tho Demo cratic party resisted tlie base and infamous attempt, and drove tho vile crew from their position without tumult or bloodshed. , It was the great moral, as wellas physical power exerted by staunch and un flinching republicans, that accomplished this great object peaceably at a time when the whole State was threatened with war and intestine commotion. The firmness, decision, energy, and at the same time, forbearance of the Democratic party, in the. face of.so much provocation, and such open viola tion of all Jaw and decency by the Ritner .party, have secured us an accession of strength from the thinking and •judicious’ of our former opponents— men who have a deep interest in the prosperity of the country—citizens who have farms, and- work shops, and houses, and families to protect from military violence—who do not wish Vq see the in stitutions of the country overturned at the point of the bayonet, and our fields drenched with the best blood of our citizens. These arc the individuals i who are now ranging themselves under the banner | of democracy, and are preparing to do battle a-. ; gainst N those who so egrcgiously deceived tl)omby professing one thing and practising another. I To our friends, .then, elsewhere, we say—old Cumberland is at her post. The. great and un paralleled; (and we might una nimity which characterized the proceedings of the county Convention, has struck terror into the ranks of the’"fcnemy'.’ It has sounded" the -death knell to all their fond hopes and desires. They certainly calculated on a “split” in tile Convention —they were sure of seeing a “glorious fight” hmong the.delegates, and nothing.could convince thorn prior to last Tuesday week, of the fiilsity of j .their anticipations. But, how chop-fallen when they found that the whole thing went off smoothly and quietly. At once they gave themselves up to despair, and the more candid among them now ad mit- that we shall succeed by an overwhelming majority. To our friends in this county, \vd*have but a word to say in conclusion. Be firm and united— willing to sacrifice personal predilections on the altar of common good—be vigilant and active, and we shall carry.our ticket by 1000 majority.— The enemy arc disheartened already—almost will ing to yield without a struggle?. Lot us give a “long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether,” and ou,r word for' it there will bo a larger'demo cratic majority in Cumberland* county than - has .been for-the last ton or twelve years. Murk the ' prediction.! The Herald-man pours forth an ocean of fiery indignation against public defaulters. How this pure patriot’s blood curdles at the very thought of public peculation! With what a gusto of honest fury does he blazon forth these rascally swindlers—, each .bearing his proper’ bundle of .sins.. But, a | bovc cfll, his religious regard for truth in ascribing •Uho defalcations to the Sub Treasury system, is strangely admirable.. How the child .coughs be fore it is born! Wonderful monster indeed this Sub Treasury, that,' whilst yet in embryo, has swallowed tip the consciences of some thirty hon est men and converted them into arrant rpgues.— What may wd 6xpcct when it is full grown.

Como then, ye im maculate spirits, that snuffed the foul atmosphere of dishonesty,improvc your opportunity. Disgorge thou Penrtisian charnol-houso, from thy full stored womb, its starving inmates—the gross accumula tion of years, and let them fatten on the public food. - * We vindicate hot the hlislibnesTdofaulters—lot* them pay tho penalty due their, transgression.— We censure them, no less than tho base dishonesty which could attribute tho public losses sustained by them, to a system which has not yet been adapt ed. At tho same time we cannot avoid a smilo at tho affected indignation of those who rank but lit tle below them. At all events, if these minor de faulters, with their respective deficiencies, do not receive the,notice of,a public press, it is not be cause they do not merit it. Tho principle is tho same in both cases—dhe injury, in these lesser pec ulations often the greater—because tho more mark ed and definite. But; after all, the number of those public thiovesris not-a circumstance- to-tho-dense flock of .private robbers who crowd the stalls of a certain Senatorial keeper—the god-father of bank rupts. The last Keystone thus concludcs an able article on the subject of tho “Rebels” (so called) and their prosecutors. :. ... “Let Antl-raasonry keep its polluting fingers aloof from the jury box—let an impartial," not a “jjacfarP’ tribunal bo seledted from the honest yeo manry—and no Democrat, be he called a “rebel” or'otherwise, will,.hesitate to have his agency in th q “Buckshot ‘war” sifted to the bottom.’ Then' too—when justice may be dono—it will become a jrirayo question, whether Robespierre- Stevens; Danton Penrose, and Marat Burrowes, instead,_qf desecrating .the.temple of justice, by crossing its, threshold -in the character of cdmplainahts; shall npt turned upon Went, and bo nt raigned afthe bar in the attitude of felons, to an swer wfiethera conspiracy to.

We venture to assort that if these modern Triumvirs were brought up before a jury ofthis county, composed as our juries are of about’ an equal proportion from each party, and the field opened wide enough for tlie admission of alt the evidence that could bo given ngafnst them,--they would be.convicted of a “treasonable conspiracy” ooainst the rights of the people and tho Constitu tion and laws of tho Commonwealth. Yea, even before an honest jury of Dauphin county, they would assuredly got tlie reward duo" to their vil lainy and crimes. “If Cdssio do remain, , v He hath a daily beauty in his life That makes mo ugly ” — Shakspeake. The hireling of tho Herald takes exceptions to our personal appearance, and appears to pride himself vbry much (at least by implication) on his-own rare beauty and prepossessing appearance. To tho first we have no objection, as we arc con stituted incur outward man just as the God of Nature-designed us. But that that long, lank, cadaverous, ill-shaped and gallows-lqoking mer cenary should fancy himself a model of beauty, and curl his lip. at those whom ho conceives have not been as much favored in this particular as himself, is surprisingly strange! Does ho not know that hundreds have expiated their manifold crimes upon tko gallows, or in tho gloomy cells of our penitentiaries, whoso physiognomies indicate a thousand times more honesty and integrity than either his own or the talented Senator’s to whom he' has sold himself body and breeches'! And docs he not likewise know that there are certain indi viduals, occupying the relation of master and ser vant, (beautiful •in their own estimation, if lie pleases,) who, if they had their deserts, would ere this have graced with their villainous countenan ces, an Arnold’s fate, (had lie booh captured,) or a Dvott’s reward—4a lodging place iii'a solitary cell, at hard labor for a period of years! Gallowses and Penitentiaries arc not erected for those whoso only fault is (if fault it can be called,) Tliey have not been erected for the honest and up right, no matter what may. ho the appearance of .their faces’. No—no. But they are found to be indispcnsible for/tremhling, conscience-smitten, cowardly iraiiOrs against the Constitution and Laws of their Country—and likewise .for -those who have wilfully and intentionally committed the crime of fraudulent imulvency, whereby unsuspee ting-and.confiding creditors have been cheated and wronged out of.what wiisju'stly their due, and ■some favorite accessory made the recipient of their eaffnings. - We hope tlu? hireling will make the application. Perhaps in the long list of his political friends, lie can find some two or thrpe individuals to whom the above remarks will not be considered inappropri ate. The hireling , in speaking of tho Democratic nominations", says: “Sanderson opposed Van Bu re n and supported the United States Bank in,IS3.J -•I. In IR3I he ran as aceandidate on the Anti Van Buren Ticket, and .allied-himself with the- Auti masonic party to defeat Jesso JVlillcr.” We unhesitatingly pronounce the above asser tions, from, beginning to end , false and unfounded. We never did oppose Mr. Van Buren, nor were ■Wo ever in favor of the United States Bank. \S c never did run as a candidate upon an Anti \an Buren ticket, nor did wo'ever ally ourselves with the* Antimasonic parly to, defeat Jesso Miller. Having given the lie to the hireling's assertions, wo shall drop the subject at present by daring him to the proof. So soon as he attempts to bring for ward any (and he has enough of scoun drels at hand who would swear any thing either he or his master told them,) we shall then recur to our own political history, and let our readers know what wo did do during the above-mentioned period. It is scarcely necessary, however, as there are but few citizens in the county, who arc not perfectly acquainted with the course we have pursued lor 1 the last five or six years. Encampment ‘at Mbchanicsburg. — Phs “La , Fayette” Encampment of Volunteers took place, according to notice last week at under the command of Major Jacob Hehbar,« of tho 2d Battalion of Cumberland Volunteers, The Camp was beautifully laid out in a field near the south-east'corner of the borough—and, notwith- tho inclemency of the weather at the commencement, and other causes unnepssary now to enumerate, which caused tho number of troops iiTatfehdaneoto" be-much'leas- than'would—other— wise have been, they made a handsome and highly creditable appearaifco. Tlie following companies wore in attendance, in additidn to the 3d Battalion of Cumberland Volunteers, viz: '• , Dillsburg Artillery, commanded by Capt. Bailey. Lewisburg Riflemen Capt. Thompson. Carlisle Infantry Captr Moudy. Harrisburg do.* " Capt, Roberts. The whole made n handsome- and martial ap pearance, and tho parade passed off-much to the gratification of all who witnessed it. On Friday tho troops were reviewed by his Excellency, Gov. Pouter in full .uniform. Her was attended by tho Adjutant General and part of his staff also with a number of field officers from Dauphin county. Upon appearing in sight, about 11 o’clock A. M, the Governor was saluted with 17 ro'unds from a piece of artillery, under tho di rection of Capt. Bailey.' After reviewing the troops in the field, the.Goycmor was escorted to town by the whole Battalion. He remained at Mr. Wunderlich’s hotel until' 4 o’clock, when he, and his staff left on horseback for Harrisburg. During his stay atWundhriioh’s, great ndmbors of tho citizens called to pay their respects to his ' Excellency," and all appeared to be highly delight ed with their visit, -i As a marie of respect to tho Dillsburg Artillery, who" by the way are a fine looking set of men, Wey wore presented in the field by the Adjutant General, with the beautiful piece of brass ordnance which they had just before proven themselves worthy to use. ’ ■ “I’ll not stand it,V as the Herald-man said, when ho lay grovelling before the* inn of Mr. W. “Money m the root of all evil,” as .the same groaned, when ho staked tha last fip on tho Faro bank. • “I reflect youf image,”" as the same condoled , •with the whining Swaruvouter, who wished to prosecute us for libel. | “More losslthan profit,” as a ‘talented Senator’ i “exclaimed,' when ha computed the sums expended"] on his bankrupt dependants. | “You sell high,” as’ the Bank said to a ‘talented ] Senator, they bought hfra out. . ~ • “There is]a big pile of us,” retorted the talented Senator, alluding to his’bankrupt adjuncts,. ANotHER Falsehood Nailed-.— Penrose’s hirc~ lingj in speaking of Col.

Who elected Col. F« to the respective offices of Major Colonel , Brigadier General , & Brigade Inspector— if it were not the people? - Docs not every man, woman and child in the county know that the'assertion of tho Herald is a* most base and wicked falsehood, de signed to injure,a man who freely shed bis blood in defence of his country, and who bears upon. his. person the scars received from the enemy,at a time*, perhaps, when the vagabond hireling was muling and puking in his nurse’s arms? Wo would advise the hireling' and \x\spurchased master' to bo a little more cautious in their attacks upon the nominees of the Democratic party. Such barefaced falsehoods and infamous slanders wiU onljl recoil upon the heads of their vile’ authors, and must-sink the hoary headed,/m/cu and hia miserable mercenary stiil lower in the estimation of all honorable and honest mem The Ticket is now fairly before the people of the county for their approbation or rejection. The importance of the measures that will be discus sed before the next legislature as well as the high consequence of county ascendency, demands of every democrat steady, zealous and active cc-opc fdtlbn in its election. The ticket is ? perhaps, the least exceptionable that has overjbeen presented to the Republican party of the county. It posses ses talent, integrity and genuine democracy in a high degree. The election of a United Slates Senator by tlio legislature, -together with numer ous applications for Rank charters—that caneer which js gradually eating away the very vitals of our hallowed liberty, calls imperatively upon us, to be active and wary in securing tbe election of sound, faithful and talented iheinbers. Unanim ity, strength and efficient parly action, at home,- no less strongly urge upon us to concentrate'our energies 'upon the nominees fur the respective county oflices.Such are they who have been chosen by the unbiassed action of the delegates in convention assembled. They were selected with a view to conciliate and gratify as far as possible all parts and suctions ; the ticket was framed• with a regard to the common welfare cf the party; and every true democrat should feel the importance, and ;lio obligations he is under, to secure its triumphant election. The-Jcccn anx iety of our opponents for political predominance; their illiberaUtyv and abuse of authority when gained, admonish us by the strongest accents that can animate a patriot’s, bosom,.the respectability .and .perpetuity of our noble institutions, to re press and keep down-those-.'arrogant aspirants, {jet no one, then, be sluggish. . Rather let it bo an emulation ; the honorable competition of friend with friend, to effect the greatest possible amount of good. Let every democrat exert his utmost strength and push forward his greatest efforts, and victory shall again proclaim the overthrow of a corrupt and disjointed party ; again shall the flag of democracy stream triumphantly over the stliat- L-rcd-and broken ramparts of the fye. State Loan.— “lt is a subject of deep interest to the public'/’ says the Keystone, “that the loan should be taken; but thus far, not an offer for a single dollar has been made. It is true thegreat cst embarrassment.exists in the monetary affairs of this country and of Europd, and it is also true, that the public bonds of some of the States have been wholly refused, and others,have been sold at a heavy sacrifice, but all tills, is a poor and_ trivial excuse for the refusal of the (rusconading banks of Pennsylvania, to step forward and redeem their pledge to aid and sustain this Pennsylvania of ours.” In fair times they are rife in promises, but when the storm comes they flinch from their performance. t4 lf this loan is not soon taken, the publ-ftTworks must stop—ihf.conlractors and -workmen ruinously feel the pressure—and all classes of the community directly or indirectly, become the sufferers. Vi c sincerely hope the next intelligence from Eiiropa will be such as to avert this threatened catastrc* phe,’*' T II E TICK E T, ,tfc had intended saving something this week about the nominees of the democra tic pat-tv, but the following from an esteem ed correspoudentlis, wc presume, amplysuf ficient : Messrs.

Tlrus we have placed be fore us men who kpow and appreciate the true'interests, of the'people. No tinselled, fop nr gaping upstart appears on the ticket.
