AT CENTREVj LLR.-
At a meeting of the citizens of Dickinson
and the adjoining townships, held at,Centre ■
yille on the-23d of May, for the purpose of
erecting a liberty pole—the meeting was or
ganized by appointing Isaac Dennett, Presi
dent; and MrahamHiniz, Henry Jlupley,
Richard Patton, Daniel Dellinger, John
Mehaffle.U illiam HPKiniUry, Jno. Chemal ,
IPm. Harper, Sam-I Huston, Sam'l Stuart,
Daniel Jlrbegast, and Jacob Ckesnal, Vice
Presidents; and James Miller, and Leas
Henary, Secretaries.'
The following persons were appointed a
committee to draft resolutions; viz: Huston
Fulton, Cojonel John Snyder, Dr. John Ahl,
Montgomery Donaldson, Esq. John-Moore,
and Christian Stmigh. The meeting wasa
bly and eloquently addressed by Col. Chns.
M’Clure. . J’he committee reported the fol
lowing resolutions which were unanimously
adopted by the meeting: "
Resolved, That the confidence we have
reposed in Martin Van Burcn has been ful
ly justified by the wisdom, firmness and pa
■triotism of his "administration, and therefore
we hold it our duty to our country to,use all
fair and honorable means to secure his re.
election in November next.
Because he is following in the footsteps of
of his illustrious predecefsors, Washington,
-Jackson, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe;
for the proof of which we give the following
letters.^—See Washington’s letter to Thomas
Stone, dated Feb. 16; A. D. 1787. •
contend that it is by the substance and
not by the shadow of a thing that we are be
nefited, Whercih then is the farmer, the
jilapter, the artizan benefited? The debtor
may be—because, as,l have observed,- he
gives the shadow instead of the substance;
and in proportion to his gain, the* creditor of
the body politic 'suffers. An evil.equally
great is theidoor it immediately opens fop
jpeouiation,lby„wJiich„the_l east-designing
and perhaps most valuable part of the com- 3
antniily lire preyed upon by the more know
ing and crafty speculators. But., contrary
to my intention and declaration/! am offer
ing reasons in support of my opinions; rea
sons Too Which of-all'.others-are the least
pleasing to the advocates of paper money.

.See Madison’s'.opinions. as to : the const!--
tutiouality of a Nationni nank, in ;the 4th
-volume of the.debates iii.Congress.for the
years irffO aiuHTiSU, '. ■
- .“In making these remarks jon the merits'
of ; lhe bill, he had reserved to himself the
right to deny the authority of Congress to
pass it; he had entertained this opinion from
the date of the constitution. ' This impres
sion might perhaps.be stronger, because.ho
well recullected a power,to grant charters of
incorporation 'had-oconprapnscd~in-tliegcn
eral Convention'and refused.”'
Became, he has recommended a divorce
■of the government from the banks, and is in
favor of ah Independent Treasury; - Which
shows him to be a democrat of the Jefferson
school.--'
Jiecattse, lie. has respected.the opinions of
-he fathers of our country, Washington'ami
Jackson, da his 'opposition to'a National
Bank.";
Because, he is opposed to the mad sfchemes
of the Abolitionists, who to gala-the liberty
of make, slaves;of a_ tiioiir
sand white freemen. • :
Because,' he has respected the advice .of
the father of his country, (Washington,) in
opposing all measures that has a tendency to
destroy that good feeling that always ought
to exist between the citizens of this wide
spread republic, and thereby cause, a divi
sion of the Union.
Became, ho is in faVor of popular rights,
and has confidence in the capability of the
people for sel f government.
Because, (notwithstanding the great noise
made by the federal party about unithtg the
purse sword,) there was : a bill pass
ed at the last Congress placing at his com
mand an army of fifty thousand, men and ten
millions of dollars, in the event of a war
■ with England—which shojvs that even his
enemies have confidence in his'sterling in
tegrity, ,• - ■ . ...
" Because, ]-]?, whs' a poor boy and' is' now'
Preshlenfuf the U. States. This augurs
well for. the our republican
'institutionsand'shows that nuthihg'but merit"
gives preference amongstdruc republicans.
■ Because, he is abused and denounced by,
the federal dories of-our day—the same par
ty, and'many of the sa'mc.men thaf denoun
ced Jefferson,.Washington and Madison,
[< Besolved, That the confidence we have re
posed in Richard M. Johnson as Vice Pre
sident of the United States, is undiminished,
and that,we hold it our duty to use all hon
orable meansdu secure,diis yc-election.
Because, In alliiis public life he has been
guided by patriotism and a love of country.
Because, He has flight the battles, of Ins
country, and has no necessity for written
certificates from his subordinate officers like
Win. 11. Harrison to prove it; for he carries
the marks of his noble daring upon l)is per
son.
Iteiolved, That we will use all honorable
means to defeat the election of William H.
Harrison; , r
Because, lie acknowledged to John Ran
dolph of Virginia, 'in debate in Congress,
that he was in favor of the administration of
John Adams—to wit: The GAG LAW, tp
prevent us from speaking or publishing any
thing, that would have a tendency to put the
people on their guard against the real Ad
ministration of the government by (heir pub
lic servants; —and an ALIISN LAW to pre
vent foreigners (who come to this country to
enjoy the boon of liberty)’from enjoying’the
right of voting. . • » .
Because, as a Governor he has acted con
trary to the. trust, reposed in him, by 1 sanc
tioning a law to prevent a poor ma‘n from
voting- (See Journal of the House of Rep
resentatives of Indiana.), ; ■ '
‘ Because,- as a legislator tuf hna acted ty
rannical and oppressive, by voting for a law
to sell poor white men for fines and'costs of
suit, whereby the old revolutionary soldier
might become the servant of the li'lest tory
or negro in the land. (See Journal of the
House-of Representatives of Ohio.) '
Because,, his nomination waa prpeured by
abolition influence and management, and
was hailed by thd abnlitiun press as a tri
-umph of-abolition-over slaveocracy; and-that
he is now supported by the press, voice and
exertions of the.abolitionists as'a party, ful
ly justifying usjn believing that if elected,
ho would carry out the principles of the abo
litionists; and thereby cause a dissolution of
the Union, and force us war with'the
Southern States—-an evil that was so' much
dreaded.by the father of his country (Wash
ington.) " ■.( i
Because , he is supported by a party that
would give tlie right of voting.to a- negro,
and thereby equalize him with the poof white
map. (See Journal of the Convention that
amended the constitution of Pennsylvania.)
Because, he is supported by a party that is
principally made up ;of;the descendants of
the tones of the TeyUlutiun. togethef. with
Hartford 7 Convchtiohists, such as ,| John C.
VVright" and Daniel Webster, \vho My that

- .Remarks oc Gen-Milli;':, of Adams. on
the bill entitled an act to incorporate the
.Lancaster loan company, made-in-the Senate
during the discussion of ilie subject, extrac
ted from.lhe Lancaster Intelligencer..
Mi-.-Milleji, of Adams rose and said, (he
Senator from Cumberland (Mr. Penrose) has
said the cry is “down w ill) the banks-7-down
with all the banks.” That, I repeat is. the
cry, nnd.“responsibility” is the word. What,
I"wil 1 ask ,* isdie" chaiiictci’“of“''lliis'BillF2-'
Why, essentially, and bank re
sponsibility; and, I believe, the only practi
cable responsibility that can be introduced
into the banking system. The .senator from
the. county of Philadelphia has often referred
to the question of bank responsibility, and
.warmly and urgently advocated the adoption
and introduction of that principle into the
charters of the banking, institutions of the
commonwealth.
Now, L would ask the senator, how he is
going to create banks on *the. principle of
personal resppnsibrliiy, inasmuch as respon
sible men, or those possessing property it is
to be presumed, would not embark their
capita) in an institution, with am n of no
means, who could transfer their interest in
it, and thus escape their liabilities?
But I say, that here is full atid-amplc. se-'
.curity. Toil the. notes which this corporation
may issue. This is apparent to every one
■who will take the trouble merely.to glance
over, the sections of the bill. The stock-
holders are required to pay 50 per cent, -in
gold,-sliver or its equivalent;, ami .arc, -be;
sides, to give security in real estate,—(be
valuation of which is to be faken according
to the last triennial assessment, for the whole
of the capital thus subscribed.
If belter security, than this cm be given
for the redemption of the llahHitiesof the
bank, I do hot know wljgre it is to be ob
tained. What, I would inquire, is. the se
curity given by the banks of Holland—of
Scotland—of Hamburg, rind by the bank of
Amsterdam?. It certainly is not better than
ibis. Real estate, is given in Amsterdam
and Holland as the security for banking.—
The principle of irresponsibility which exists
in our banking system is; in my opinion, the
mrist anti-republican principle "that ever was
adopted in a democratic governmen t—bank •
.ers are sliieltlotl from tlreiV-iesponsißi 11 tioß to
creditors, and cannot be sued in their indi
vidual capacity, whilst others notin the en
joyment of banking-privileges, are compelled
to fulfil all their liabilities and engagements.
Now, I would ask, if this is right, lair, hon
est, oe just? I contend that it is not, and
that the ilistinctioii lluis inadc bctweCh one
debtor and another is unfair and'anti-repub-
Bean in.principle.- The private individual
who gives his note is bound lo pay if when
it becomes due/or his, person may he arrested
and his-proper-ty .seized. But the banker
escapes—goes, scott free, and neither bis
pe'rson or his property, real, and personal ore
molested. They are protected by the bank
charter. ;. . .■ . . !

TtcrbeT ebaf tering thts-brink?
1 was.fully prepared, for ,I‘ supposed that it
would be attacked by. smite persons who tire
interested iifthe banking system. I wilEsay

Heve that if tliis;proposed brink should.,be.

The people themselves will put themdown;
and they will have.full.«nd implicit confi
dence in the notes of this bank on account
of the.property off.tlic stockholders being
hound for the redemption of thein, which, at
ITeast-is-an eurnest-ot' tlicirhouesfy anti hon
orable'intentions.
Now, I would ask, who aye those as,con
nected with the bill, before Os and who ar
dently desire its passage?.’ Why, sir, the
honest- farmers of the county of Lancaster
who have come forward, and offered,to mort
gage their estates, as 'securities for their lia
bilities in this corporation hank', if you please;
for I (lo npt wish to disguise or deceive any,
in reference to the the title of this bill, which
has been frequently alluded to. ;
. Now, sir, contrast the conduct of these
farmers who have voluntarily came forward
and, offered pledges jftlr their ,property as a
Security Tor the ''redemption-of ntj, their lia
bilities, in the amount doubly sufficient with
•thttf of the irresponsible individuals at-pres-f
cht conducting the banking institutions' of
flic Commonwealth. It' there lie.any.doubt
oh the mind of any Senator,’ (and I appeal
to the Senators from the county of Lancaster
as to the character ami standing of the indi
viduals applying fur a chip ter) I would ask
furthermore whether the book <>f"'mortgages,
npw .in the Senate chamber does not show
an indisputable proof of security in treble the
amount of all the privileges asked for by this
charter? , - ,
:y-likirmi
Will not this, f ask, give confidence to the
community in-the-paper they may issue?
should think, that.most unquestionably it
would. And, in conclusion, T wijl only ex
press my sincere hope that; the bill may pass;
because I believe that the objects and pur
poses of it will result,in what has been and
is so much desired; a reform of the. banking
system.'
