’■ At the recent election in this county, the demo
crat# carried 30 of tile 3G Judges, and 19 of the 38
Justices. “Slick a pin there," as the Bi-Coioncl
would say. ,
The federalists are crowing about South Mid
dleton, in which they carried their Judge by two
votes—last year the democrats elected their’e by
one , What a wonderful change! In 1838, Eit
ner’a majority was 17—so wo go. -
ALL’S WELL!—BoKOuan EtEOTtfor.
The election in this borough, on Friday last,
terminated gloriously for the democrats, under all
the circumstances. Never before were such ef
forts made by the federal .party, and never Wore
they so completely disappointed. They had cal
culated with' certainty on carrying, their' whole
ticket by a largo majority—and in order to do so,
: had removed, as tbey.considered, the only obsta
cle in the way, by getting all their candidates Tor
Justice of the Peace to'decline, save two. So
sure wore they of gaining a victory', that-they had
made arrangements for a “spree" at Fetree’s hotel
on the night of the election, and were only pre
vented from enjoying their frolic, by the result of
tho count for Justices and Judge which was first
had, When they found that they had only elect
ed one Justice, and lost the Judge, J[ the test vote,)
they slunk away to their homes completely ohop
failori and'dispTritddi -
The democrats went into this contest under dis
couraging circumstances. They had six candi
dates in tho field for Justice of the Peace, jvhilo
the enemy had only two: The numerous capdii
dates for Justice tied the hands, in a great measure,
ofuur, most active men. They were afraid to ex
ert themselves for particular candidates, lestthe
others, with their friends, would take offence.—
The consequence was, that our whole operations
were iin some measure deranged, and jour friends
embarked in the contest with the certainty of de
feat. Besides this ii was known that some five
or six, who bad heretofore generally voted with
us, had went oyeTto the opposition, and were ex
erting themselves to the utmost, as new converts
•generally do, in the federal ranks. •. '•
Sugh were the relative positions of tho two par
ties on Friday.laat—but how different tho result
from what both wore led to expect. Instead, of
•being defeated, wo have gained a glorious victory'
•—instead of losing ail, wis havegaihed every of
fice of consequence except one Justice of the Peace
—am! instead of losing ground for the ensuing
Presidential ,'lection, we have now every reason
to believe thet in this horougffwo shall give Mr.
Van Buren from CP to 76 majority.
B6O
To our friends throughout the county', we say be
of good cheer—the borough of Carlisle is firm in
the good cause of democracy. Notwithstanding
all the boasting and blustering ot the opposition,
we shall beat them with ease in OcfouPf next.—
Let the democrats in the different townships do
likewise, and old mother Cumberland is safe &r
700 majority.
•The federalists, haying amajority of one in the
Town Council, are already disputing about tho
loaves sod fishes in the gift of that body, and,
from present appearances,. there is no doubt but
that there will bo at least a dozen of candidates
for every little petty office from High Constable
down. Vet these are the men whocty out against
the (‘spoils party,” as they are pleased to call the
democrats, and who, one,would suppose fronrthoir
Joud.professiona, were so-patriotic in their inten
tions that they would not touch an office with a
ten foot pole. . - ’
■ had hotter not ho-too-anxious however,'
as it is strongly whispered about thqt one of their
council men is a little more than half a Van En
ron man, and if they do not watch him closely, he
may play them a trick which they do not expect.

Baltimore Conference cf the Methodist Episcopal
Church, —We clip the following from the Wash
ington Correspondence df the Baltimore" Sun of
'Thursday laat. We give place to it the .more
readily, as the Rov. gentleman referred to below
is doubtless one who is favorably known to many
in this community. . ...
Tho Maryland of the Methodist E
piaeopal Church,"is now sitting-in Georgetown,
and is yery numerously attended. Among the
clergy, there are several young men of very deci
ded talent and education; one or two of them who
may be ranked among the most eloquent men of
tlio, day. On Sunday last, I heard one of them
preach at tho Capitol, who forcibly reminded me
■ of-wany'of-UMf-ftors eloquent add brilliant pasaa
gea of Chalmas, mingled"with the more emphatic I
and nblo pootical episodes of Pollock. Tho con- (
ventidn is very humorously attended by the clergy )
and laity, and all of its proceedings have Been dip-1
tingnished by that love to God and good will to
man; which oughtever to distinguish the religious
services'of all- religious associated bodies. The
young clergyman who particularly distinguished
himself on Sunday, last, was- named, I think,
Emory. Hq is an ornament to tho church and to
society.
- There is said to be a little hebdomadcl "printed
and published in Shippensburg, by a man. who
formerly resided in this place, called the “Here of
Tippecanoe;” but as we have not seen it, wo are
unable to say much about its contents. We per.
ceive, however, Jby the Herald that it has publish
ed a card, purporting td come from William Pague;
Philip Brown.and Michael Heartline, in which
these individuals are made to say that they re
nounce Van Biirenism and the democratic party.
Wo profess to know something about thesq in
dividuals—but, lest wo were mistaken.in some re
spects, we have made enquiry on tho subject, and
have learned tho following particulars:
Firs*---the letter which purported to contain tho
renunciation, was dropped in the Post Office, and
handed by the P. M. to the editor, without either
knowing from whom it came.
Secondly—Mr. Pague, upon seeing the publica
tion, was highly offended, apd threatened a prose
cution if he cjould ascertain who had committed the
forgery of hie name.
Thirdly—My. Brown, instead of rehdnhcingVan
Burenism, had never attached himself to theparty.
Ho is a young man whj) has recently left the army,
and will voto-for the first time at the next election.
Fourthly—MichaeJ Heartline is known to every
body in Shippensburg, as always having belong
ed to the federal party.
We trust tho next time this imported editor at
tempts to impose on people at a distance, he will
be careful to give his falsehoods'some semblance
of truth—at least that he will not publish cards
which amount to a forgeiy.
The following capital article on the subject of
the Presidential election is extracted from the
State Capitol Gazette. We commend it to the
attention of all our readers:

Letter to.tho Editors, dated
IlAßaisßona, March 21, 1840.
I have almost nothing of importance to commu
nicate this week, little, of general interest being
transacted in either house since Monday. “
Tho appointments made by tho Governor to the
bench of the new Criminal Court, have been con
firmed by the Senate.
Tho joint Committee of Cqnforenco has net yet
made a report; but it is understood that, on Mon
day next one will.be made, and that the time for
a resumption is fixed for tho first of October. It
is also said that tho general banking bill agreed
upon by the committee is a good one; and that
one of its sound provis one is the exclusion of all
notes under ten dollars after July, 1841.
I have very little doubt that the bill, if it is as
good as represented, will be speedily passed in
both houses—alad, although the lima fixed for re-
I sumption is a little too remote, yet a,s it is doubt
i less a matter of compromise, all will be willing to
I yield a littlo for the -good of the Commonwealth,
j tot the bill bo once passed, and business will im
mediately revive, and every thing will go on pros
perously as heretofore. n -
' The resolutions inviting Gen. Jackson tq visit
this State as the guest of the Commonwealth,
were passed on Thursday, in tho House, with but
one dissenting tbhig voice.
Tho same day, Mr. Flcnpikcn r from' the Com
mittee of Ways "and Means, made a lengthy re
port upon the financial affairs of the Common
wealth, in-which’ it is recommended to sell the
Bank stocks owned by the State, and the motive
power on the rail-roads;—with a bill providing
to assess a tax,, of the half of qnc.pereent. on
bonds, mortgages, stocks, ground-rents, &c.;—of
one per cent, on salaries and emoluments;—of two
per cent, on pleasure carriages, silver plate, and
household furniture over the value of S3OO; —of
$1.50 on gold lover watches:—sl.oo on all other
gold watches;—of $l.OO on silver levers, and 50
cents on all other silver watches per
From these sources, and a tax upon brokers, it is
expected to realize about $600,000 per'annum;
and nearly four millions from the sale of stocks
and motive power.
■ The report above mentioned is made the order
of tho day for Monday next,
, I shall write again next week.

WASHINGTON, CITY March Vi,
The .Treasdrv Note Bill—Efforts to im
pede THE FREE OPERATION OF THE GoVEßN
ment; Suffering Claimants—attempt to
BAMBOOZLE' THE • PEOPLE.
The Treasury .note bill, now before Con
gress, ns might have bcc,n expected by all
who knew anything of the Whigs, is re
ceiving, the assaults of that faction, The
object- of the faction is, lo cut off the supplies
necessary (p the inaintninance of the Gov
ernment, and if possible, to lay the Admin
istration prostrate. The supplies asked for
by the Treasury Note Bill, are wanted at
thievery instant, to enable the Administra
tion. to execute the laws, and meet the’ de
mands' -held-by-claimantSTon-the-justice-nf
the country. If (he.AVhigs can carry their
ends, and deprive the Administration of the
power of doing its duty, they fancy they will
be able to “make political capital out of;the
arrangement, and advance the objects bad in
view by the Harrisburg Convention;” Well,
perhaps they may do so;, let them try it tw
theirheart’s content, and see if the intelli
gent people of the djnited States are pre
pared to encourage a species of treason; of
anarchy and desolation',, merely to. gratify
the caprice and whim of a;desperate parly
qf desperate ndventurers, who. nave. made.a
tool ufa poor bid man of Ohio, whose pecu
liar merits, if the Wjiigs are to be believed,
consists in his ability to guzzle a very large
quantity of “Hard Cider.” - ; .
- Every effort that has been made, and -is
yet to be made bv the Whigs, lo impede the
free. operation of the Government, will >. be
■met, Pll be sworn to sav, by the patriotism
of thq people op the United States, as..it
ought to be met, tmh the strongest proofs'of
contempt and disapprobation. , Such acoursc
of folly and of madness,’jvilt find its own re
ward, at the hands of thefrec electors of this
Union. ’f'"’--
Whilst the-. Treasury note bill is impeded
in its passage, there are hundreds of honest
claimants, who 1 possess,ibe-most righteous
demands oil the Government, and who ought
to be paid 1 withou t delay, but' who must wait
and waif, until the Inst ray of; hope'has ex

verest terms of condemnation. 1

firmly, declare that they would willingly o
bey the laws for the sake of law and ortler,
and for the well-being of society; but con
sidering (be Corn-laws, as they do, a direct
robbery''of the working classes, they can on

FR O M CANTON
The New York Herald furnishes us with
further particulars of the news from Canton
■by the Moira:
Mr. Codman; the supercargo, witnessed
the fight between the Chinese junks and the
(British sloops of war. Lina,'the High Com
missioner, threatened to hum all the ship
ping lying at Hong Kong,, about the Ist of
November. Hong Kong, as may he seen on
the above map, is about TO .miles', below Can
ton, at the east entrance of Canton bay or
river. Here there were nearly ICO sail of
British and Other merchant vessels lying
with njost of which Linn threatened
to burn. ' On the afternoon of Saturday,
Nov. 2d,. Capt., Elliott went from Hong
Kong, up the Canton River, with the sloops
•of "war, Village and Hyacinth, When he
arrived i t the Qocca Tigris, a little above
Chcun Poe point, right oil' the Hoe. Tower,
about SO miles below Canton. On Sunday
morning, he sent a ‘‘chop” ashore in the
Man-of-war’s boat to the Fort above Anson’s
bay. A chop in Chinese means almost any
thing; sotnefilnes a,,proclamation, or a hand
bill, ora letter, or a law; and chop-chop
means very fine, or very strong, or first rate.
In this instance it was a letter sent to Linn,
to know if he meant'ito.burn the ships at
Hong Kong, as he .threatened. Linn sent
word back to Elliott,' that be must drop
down the river a mile or two, and he would
send him an answer. Elliott, with the ships
began to drop down as desirid, but were'
soon.aunounded by war-junks; these* were
first-ordered liffby the Captain of theVolage,
they refusedto comply. and the British filed
a broadside into them; this wasrc turned,'and
the Chinese fought with great, bravery, par
ticularly the junk of the Admiral 'of the
Chinese Navy,'Charig-Tehon-\Vhaiig-Loo,
. The Morea left Whampoa early on Sun
day morning, and came, past the Ty-Cock-
To.w about noon, just as the British fired the
first broadside; in SO minutes 1000 Chinese
were killed, six junks stink', and the rest ran
near ashore infoAnßon’sßay.betweertCheun

and the. two sloops, id company with the
Mores, dropped down-the river to

vember, when the' Volage' and Hyacinth
sailedforHong-Kongfubatter down the two
forts at the entrance to the I 'principal bay
there, as seen on the-map. .
The day before the Morea left Macao, news
was brought down from Cantoh, that' Linn .
was sbeiasperated at the result of the fight,
that he 'had ordered. all ‘the trade stopped
