throwing my self, unaided ami alone,

Wc invito attention to the remarks of the Sena

incorporate the Lancaster. Loan Company. They

The Democrats of 1 Dickinson also creeled a
fcplendid one .on the same day at Gardner’s Inn,

about 90 feet long. A large number of sterling
Vcpublicans were in attendance.
Tins proceedings of the Ilogcstown meeting,will,

Wo. invite attention to the remarks of the lion.
James Buchanan, published oh the first-page, in
relation to llVo Expenditures of the General Gov
ernment. "The extravagance of the present -Ad
ministration has been' a fruitfiil theme for federal
declamation, ahd the ’charge of corruption has been
hung in the public ear, both in and out of Congress,
no long that some honest and unstispeiting folks

just groufid for suspicion. To do away this ini l
' pfessionV attd to’expose lhe T abbmin;abVe f.ilsehoods

When tho Report-was - received was

' which' wo hope will receive a careful perusal from
every.unprejudiced man in this community, Some

Wo learn with great pleasure that our esteemed
friend, tho Bi-Coi,onel made a speech at tho Hard
Cider meeting in South -Middleton, on Saturday
evening last. Whether tho Col. descanted on the
mprits'of “Peter Parley ,” Or on tho peculiar effects
of his favorite beverage, our informant has not told
lis; but at all events, the speech in question has
been spoken of in terms of admiration! This
effort'of the Col. has already thrown him far in
advance of his Hard-Cider, competitors, and ho
will doubtless henceforth bo looked dp to ns tho
groat leader of that'highly respectable.
partyl VVo give tho boys joy at
having secured the services of such a talentoJ,
moral , amiable and respectable chieftain—and we
trust that his speech will bo published for the
benefit of the Harrison party generally.
fPebster's - S! un'lay Speech -Qgain, —Tlio Trenton
“True American” editor had no doubt seen Mnj.
Ege’s certificate, or he would not have propound
ed tile following queries to tho Baltimore Republi
can:
“Will tho Baltimore Republican give the truth
about the Federal movements in.that oily on Sun
day.- Was there a speech delivered at Barnum’s
or not, by Unnif.-l Wobsterl” —Trenton 'Jrvc Jl
merlean.
Thp. ncpiiblicnn promptlyonsw era the interrog
atories by saying;
have already so charged it—wc now
distinctly repeat it—and with all their disregard
of truth, no Whig who was at Barnum’a on the
Sabbath referred to, [tho Major wc suppose was
at cAu«ftT]“OARK DENY IT. Daniel Webster
did deliver a speech at Jfie City Hotel on Sunday ,
the Zd of Matf) before a crowd of,Whigs, who, m
tho most boisterous manner, responded to his Ac
clamation. And while on tho subject, wo may
also say; that a large Log Cabin procession passed
the same place on the same day for the particular ed
ification of the British Whigs there assembled,—
Does any one in tho vicinity of Trenton deny our
previous statement? "If there he suclr a"man, he
will his own oath. 1 *
A retrospective glance at the past is generally
profitable, and'if we were more frequently to med
itate upon what has bobn, it might be useful to us
in several respects—ln none, however, more than
in politics. _\Yo arc in. a great measure areckless,
unthinking people—too much disposed to forget
the evils Ihal.aro past; .rather ibairmako suitable
efforts to remedy them—always, looking fct the
bright sidrTof the picture, and never reflcclfng tliaF
tho other side presents a dark and dreary aspect.
We seldom consider in the buoyahcy"droUr spirits
thr.Vlike effects are produced from like~caifS'3s,and
that what has been may bo again. We all! recol
lect the reign of the Bitncr and Stevens dynasty,
which commenced in usurpation and tyranny and
ended in fovolution and anarchy; but few reflect
seriously upon the interminable extent of the dan
ger which we so barely escaped. Look at it: the
rights of tiie people trampled upon—the represen
tatives of a large body of freemen denied their" seats'
In tho Legislative halls—the constitution and laws,
basely and wickedly violatodHy tho men then in
power—a largo body of armed soldiery brought.to
the seat of government,at an enormous expense, to
awe the representatives of the people, and disperse
.the free citizens of the commonwealth at the point
of tho bayonet. And to cap the climax of villainy
and atrocity of which that administration was guil
ty, its nominal head had the audacity to make a
requisition upon the General Government, for a
hired regular soldiery to consummate the deed of
blood, and further the foul designs of the worsfe
than Catalininn conspirators.
-All lhoso-lhings-are-of-recent occurrence,- and
ought to be fresh-in the-minds of-the people.- -If
wc are now living in peace and plenty, free from
intesline.conimotion and civil war, we ought not to
forget llio dangers we escaped. Does any one
suppose that, had tho General Government been
constllu Stale government wasnn~Dc
cfember 1838, there Ivould have been no deed of
blood to rtcord in Ihe annals of Pennsylvania?—
Docs any one reflect that, if tlife President had been
of the same politics with the then Governor of this
Commonwealth, the regular soldiers would have
been refused wheft" demanded? And, pray, what
would have been the consequence had tho national
troops marched to Harrisburg? Every man of or
dinary intelligence can answer the question.—
Murder—Rapine—Blood-s—Death—-would have
followed in iheir’traim
■To the peaceful citizens, then, of th’is common l
wealth is the ever’memorable “Buckshot War”
fraught with important instruction—and in thaking
a selection of rulers for pur national government,
they should- welgh-well-tho consequences-which
would be likely to result Tot weal or for woe to the
country. Bo you want the same men to control
the General Government for Iho next four years
who contiblled Ihe Stato government fromDecem l
ber 1335 to January 1839—then vote for William
H. Harrison,who waS nominated by the influence
ofThaddeus Stevens, Charles Bi PenroSe and the.
rest of tbocpnspirators. Vote for William-H;
Harrison, and you Will have the drama of “Buck
shot Wars”, re-enacted on the.jfaliohal theatre—
with this difference that it’would end in fearful
tragedy'.- Elect Harrison, and, if we are permitted’
to judge from the past; the liberties of the people
will be gone for over—or only saved by revolution
and bloodshed. - - ”
We have been speaking in the above remarks to
the peaceable and well-disposed who have hereto
fqta ranked in opposition to_tho Democratic party.
We Say nothing to their loaders. Ourappeal is
to the “sober second thought” of the honest far
mers atid.mechariics who have heretofore acted in
opposition to.the republican party from conscien
tious motives! We ask you, then,
—nay, wo. appeal to you fremcn—consider
well toe above factsarid deductions before you
. cast your votes at the ensuing Presidential election.
Scad**Pause—Reflect.,
. ItiS,said that a certain cock-a-doodle-doo Ho
jor was the principal blackguardconcerned in cut
ting' doWn the Mechanicsburg pole. Can any of.
our demoefafie friends inthatßorough inform us

The prooeedihga'ofpoliUoal. meetings, which
we could not avoid publishing, have crowded out
several items of intc'rcsting news which we had
designed for this paper. Wo hope qiir Democratic
frieA’ds, in their meetings hereafter, will bo careful
to leave' us a little more elbow roots.. Too much.of
a good thing, ni least so early in the campaign, is
not the best least such is our'opinion.
LIBERTY POLES appear to be a great eye
sore to many ofthe.federalists of the present day,
This is not polio wondered at. They wore equal
ly obnoxious'to the lories of the Revolution, the
Black Cockade federalists of ’9B, and tho Blue
Light Hartford Convention Peace Party gentry of
181 S—and if could not reasonably be. expected
that their descendants of the present day would
have any love for those innocent emblems of lib
erty. The same spirit and same feelings which
induced the,lories 0f,J76 to take up aims against
their fellow citizens who were struggling for lib?
erty—which advocated tho Alicn cnd Sedition
laws, and all the monstrpus heresies of the elder
Adams’ administration—which pronounced itim
morat and irreligious to rejoice at tho success of
our arras over the triofeenary soldiers of England
in ' tho war of 1813—ara transmitted in all their
vigor to their descendants of tho present day, and
the present Hard Cider Buckshot leaders only
want the power their fathers hadduringtho “Reign
of Terror”, to carry out their tory principles to tho'
utmost extent. ‘ .. • '
Wo are led'to make these remarks in conse
quence of tho low, grovelling, and Contemptible
conduct of some of these men, in cutting down the
poles erected by thoir fellow cilUcns. Two weeks
ago wo informed out readers that tho polo at Mt.
Rock was prostrated for the’secbhd time—and wo
have now to inform them that those at Mechanics-,
burg and Roxbury shared-the same fato one night
last Week—both of which have again been raised
to a-perpendicular position. ■
Wo do hope and trust-that out-friends will suc
ceed in ferreting out the hast) cowardly miscreants
-who-have been guilty of these outrages—so that.a
whip may be put in every honest man’s hand
“To lash the rosco/snakcd round the world.”
Such blackguard* deserve to be held,up in all their
malignant and hateful deformity of, soul, to the
gaze bfthe world, and if our fricndadotbeir part
we promise them our aid in exposing the vile
wretches. ' ■ ■
One of the Hard Cider blackguards in Hope
well, we understand, attempted to nut down the
Liberty Polo at Newburg a few days ago, but be
fore h 6 succeeded.in his nefarious design he was
caught by a sturdy democrat and received a drub
bing. for.his pains,„.Tho scoundrel has since, it is
said, institute}) a prosecution for an assault and
battery for the richly deserved basting ho receiv
ed. Ho ought to bo flogged a second lime for his
impudence. -
The “Maoician” is the title of a paper which,
is to bo publiseed at Harrisburg by' Messrs. Mut
ter and Cantine, until,.the Presidential election—
the first number to bo issued on the 4lh of July.
It will bo furnished to subscribers at tho low rate
of fifty cents per copy—and will strongly advo
cate the re-election of Martin Van Burcu and Rich
ard M. Johnson. From the Well known ability of
the editors,, we should judge that tho “Magician”
will bo an important help in the furtherance of de
mocratic principles. r
