The motion ,ia regulated to 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 importance to prevent the band from slipping, and is a good guide for a farmer to tell how much motion a power has. As there are some persons continually talking of. their inn provenients, a man with half an eye, by 1 taking notice of the pully can tell that it is all a.hniuc. 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 friction, every pivot havinjj a cup suffi ciently large to contain half a gill of 1 oil, with a tight cover to keep the contents perfectly clean, which lurnishes each pivot with an ample supply of oil at all tithes, so that after the machine has been used a day or two eight hundred or a thou sand sheaves may be thrashed without slopping or injuring any part of the machine. The under signed has frequently seen more-meta'l worn off in thrashing two hundred sheavcs.for want of oil than would have thrashed several large crops with proper cave ami attention. During the past year upwards of fifty of the abov.e machines have been sold in this and Union countyj sever al of which have been thrashing almost constant ly during the thrashing-season, and as n test of their superior claims to durability, the cost for .repairs for-the whole-number has not exceeded fift.ee'n-dollars, - -Notwithstanding..there have been, comparatively speaking, no repairs need ed, yet the undersigned, so far from . following •the customary rule of taking less care to have them well built when'once introduced, lias made several important additions calculated to add materially to the strength and durability of the same, but that none may be under the necessity of placMig implicit confidence in- the above statc- I meat without further evidence, the undersigned would refer them to tile following persons wild have bought machines of him, viz; R. 11.

Feh.ow' Citutens: —lt is a problem in,the polity of states whether their prosperity, is mostly dependent on the sagacity and integ rity of- those entrusted'■with power by the people,.or whether it. arises' from-the virtue and intelligence of the people themselves. —, It-appear* to me that a combination l gacity apd integrity in the rulers, with vir-I [AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM, No. 4. New Scries—Vol. 4, No. 15. tue and intelligence in the people, arc indis pensable to'a fair administration'of the laws —the permanence of republican institutions and the legitimate developement.pf,the re sources of a great State. Tile events which I am-recording would not have occurred, if we' had wisp and honest men at the head of our affairs—the treasonable conspiracy of those men against the peace & liberties of the country could not haVe been' resolutely met and successfully overthrown except by the virtue and intelligence of the people. There is a latent sentiment in a free .people, which, how lo’ngsoever it may slumber, under de ception wrong and outrage, yet when awa kened to a true Sense’of their position, by somcappalling o.Vcrt act of their oppressors, they never fail to avenge it by removing the offenders from power and delivering them up to the execration of posterity. ' Tliisfact was established during the memorable, days of February. It was not sufficient that the democrats withstood the onset of the conspi rators on the 4th—it was necessary th.cy should subsequently convince the. people they were right—l mean those people who had been deceived and misled by the Anti masonic organs throughout the State. This .wag 'a'ctdmplished by the simple operation, of truth, because in convulsions of the which agitated us then, reading men are apt J to enquire for the truth on both sides—the factj were laid before them and thpy dccid ed inTiur"favor—consequently the arch con-' spirators Who sought even at the expense of 'blood and rapine toscrce’n their official de linquencies from public investigation, or to rule a desolated land,' were condemned and deserted by their former friends and-placcd in,a state of ignominy. But I,halve made a digression^—l only wished to say that a peaceful people should have just ami able men to represent them, and vigilantly pro tect their interests. . Tlie sequel of"the events of the 4lh was the holding of amectingbftthe Court House of which Gen. T.; C. Minot was President. The room was crowded and many speeches worthy the days of the revolution were’made -and enthusiastically received. At this meet ing the “Committee of Safety” was project ed, whose .influence onAjlc cu rrent of affairs was deeply felt anil » malignantly depre cated by our opponents*- Tt was framed on the basils of the Committee organized in the time’of’Charles the jSTrst by Hampden'Siu riyy and others, and the one organized by Warren, Adams, Hancock and others in.thc reyoliHß)hnry war, and it and the men who composed it will .Hear in after times in our DWnCornmonweulththeproudprc-emincilcc which;, their patriotic predecessors' now en joy, -because they came to the rescue of their countrjrin- a lawful and peaceable manner, and at a time when the Commonwealth vc-r quired help. But I must consult brevity. • o.nithe sth the House met, present FIF TY SIX, and elected their officers; and, af ter some unimportant business, adjourned to the usual hour on the Cth. The galleries and lobbies were filled with men who ob served the strictest order. The rump parliament, as it .was nowcajF cd, or the disorganizing minority which%c knowlcdged Mr. Cunningham ns its speak er, met-in a place unauthorized by law, with closed doors and the legal officers— imclerk, &c.—no printer—no Journalizing —they presented the spectacle of an assem blage of misguided - ami infatuated-men who were seduced into political destruction by desperate political adventurers. Like the slavcsjiml dupes of MAKANNA they heed fcjsly followed them gh,. notwithstanding ’tlieir tliinned&ranks, and discovered the fa tal truth only when the poisoned chalice, •searedntheir withering lips, and then— horrible vengeance with their eyes last strain, i And slackcnihg hand at them in vain.” , must return to other.subjects.— When thcfHouse a rumor pei va derTthe House, that; the Anfimasons had ta ken possession of the Arsenal with a large lsody of- armed men. Wcjhought this was an unprovoked aggression not tobc tolerated, and some of the members immediately left the Capitol and observed'a large collection of men around the Arsenal. On arriving there/ aroVStlnen passing a long the windows-with fixed bayonets as if marching on-guard. -Gen. Adam Diller im mediately formed the men of our party who were present.-and offered to the pitiful gar rison to leave them undisturbed if .an equal number of Democrats was admitted into the Arsenal. This: proposition was declined, but, after some negotiation, they agreed to evacuate the premises, on condition our men you Id withdraw, .and, with few exceptions, the course was left clear for a retreat—the Arsenal, doors .were, thrown open, and the garrison sallied forth at a full run for Gleiip’s Hotel, the Head Quarters of Antimasonry, ..Wiiggeryi'and Abolitionism. , ' _ v Among this strange, retreating garrison wap a man who had been a. ringleader in the Halifax riots, and was called a bully. Ho was pointed out. to a citizen of Philadelpbia who rani to him, his ardor unrestrainable, and they were both in full flight, the pursu ing and the pursued, and the Halifax rioter was prostrated by a man not hail f Jus appa rent muscular power, and he received some slight contusions. I relate this incident be cause it \vus. the only violence, committed during the campaign, or Buckshot \Var as it is familiarly called. _ ' , . The cause of the defection of-the garrison of the Arsenal, was Captain Scott of Phila delphia, who observed a suspiemus'wheel barrow, trowled by a suspicious individual, coming from Glcim’s and.bound for the, Ar senal. .The Captain arrested thc\progress of the machine, and, calling some of his friends to his aid, its-contents were examin ed, and they consisted of gunpovyder. / Its course, was diverted to Gleini’s. The arsen al "was then veconnoitefed, and the gamson, which had been clandestinely introduced, and men of no repute were detected there. , As tire arsenal was evacuated,' ah immense i assemblage gathered in front of Gicith-’s, AGENTS.

Lewis Cdrrycl and Col. Piolet ad.dressed the multitude with great animation, and, af ter announcing that there was no immediate danger, the crowd dispersed . without the . slightest disorder. The rain waspourihgin " ■torrents, but such was the excitement, that no man cared for the ruin. The republic was in danger and the' elements were not re garded. - I have said Glcim’s house was armed with SOO.stahd-bf muskets. Those muskets were the property of the State, and the manner in which they were conveyed there is not one of the least nefarious ramifications of the plot of the conspirators and they carried it . out with a moral boldness, which nothing but the absence of physical courage in them-r selves and the fearless spirit of the men op-, posed to them, prevented them from plung ing ns into a desolating civil war. Immediately after the election, when they found all. was lost, and the people had again triumphed, Penrose and Stevens went to Philadelphiaand made arrangements there for 500 stand of arms to be sent to.Harris i burg. They were put in fine battle order and sent to Harrisburg, but, instead of being; deposited in the State Arsenal, they were . taken to Gleim’s—a public hotel, stacked in an obscure room, and charged with buck shot and cartridge of antimasnhic manuftic turc. and as flimsy as the rest oi die contri vances of .that shattered party. The cat- ‘ tridges were a miserable imitation of a legit imate cartridge—-totally ineffective. . We • possessed ourselves of some of those antima snnic infant manufacture, but they fell to pieces in carrying''them about. Those men ought to have been indited for treason for tins act, if for ho other. Those anqs should have been placed,in the. public arsenal, the legal depository.ofthe arms-nf-the Common -weafth, and under the care of the’ keeper; but they h.qd.no reverence, for. the law, and . they made a public tavern the-receptacle, of the public arms. It would be w'ell if the late Adjutant General would clcarhis skirts of imputed participation in> this affair, be cause each and several of the culprits ought to bo- hung up to public scorn. Nor ought Ritner, the nominal comman derdn-chief, to . escape the general odium—but it is almost ..degradation to record the names of-thc men with whom we had to contend. .Theofficial station's which they held against the wish of a majm’ity of the people, and which they misused and abused, could alone place them in the position of those ivhnsVacls should ba recorded. Hut the mission of Penrose arid. Stevens, the incendiary ambassadors -to the city had anothcr,and more important object than the mere abstraction of 500 stand of arms from their legitimate destination, & placing them in the hands of a band of desperate subordi- • nates to the Canal Commissioners. It must I be looked upon in another point of view of more importance than the illegal disposition of the public property —it proved a premed itated determination “to treat the election as if it had never been he-l'd,” and control the will of the majority by force of arms. The negotiation with the N. York Sidney Whigs was not neglected' besides, . They then and there made preliminary arrangements with Gen. Patterson of the first Division, P. M. to array his forces against the people in case they, the conspirators, required it, and hence ■lds promptness in marching his men against us at a day’s 'notice. He hadjje.cn prepar ing for five weeks to act against the people —-lienee his promptness in bringing his buck shot and ball against us. Hut he,shall hear of this more elaborately hereafter, as well as I one Capt. Ramsey who furnished him with 12,000 buckshot and bajl cartridge, canhis- I ter, grape shot and all that, to murder the I Republican party of Pennsylvania. This Capt. Ramsey, it appears, was keeper of (he United States Arsenal at Philadelphia, and the democratic party thought he "acted with indecent precipitancy in furnishing the mu nitions of war,'the property of (he people’ of j the United States, without a legal order, and i in violation of the laws, for the purpose of slaughtering Pennsylvanians* who were re sisting oppiessioir'arid' ih de'- fence-of the"'laws and (he constitution, a gainst. treason and .military force/ We thought it still more extraordinary that the Secretary of War, should, after having re called him from his post as a disgraced man, immediately re-instated him a* if in defiance of. the will of the people. The deep, and lasting indignation of an insulted 'people, must fall upon every man'who aided and a beltcdin this outrage upon our rights, al though perchance the breath of public repro bation, inay ruffle a warlike" plume, or lift the tinsel from an'epaulelted shoulder. "Public agents, who are so prompt to make thc people,'men who - hold their appointmcntsorcommissidns from the people,, who draw their daily support 1 from (he labor of those people, should'.bV niafie to feel their subordination to, those from whom they derivetheirpower to; act, ;/ and whose taxes pay for the gaudy.decora-, tions of war and of office which they assume, and every operation of their lives should directed to the promotion of the'public'weak. But, by some perversion of the reasoning power, as soon as. they arc ensfallcd; into office, however bumble in itself or uncertain in its tenure,- they “assume the god' 5 and in §nlt and.would enslave the very men from: whom they derive their little brief authority.. The importantposts of kccpcrs of the Ar senals at or.near Philadelphia'should be en trusted only to competent, and. ju-.
