James Porter, “resigned. invite attention to the correspondence, in anotlier column of this pager, between a rtiim- . : bor of the democratic citizens of this Borough and the lion. John W. Davis, of Indiana. As n mark of respect to this distinguished individual who paid its a short visit on the 4th inst., Imjcas .invi ted to a public dinner, which ho„ for tho reasons assigned in his letter, was under the necessity of declining. His sentiments; however, deserve to be made public, as breathing the true spirit of de- ■ mocracy, and as worthy the source from which they \ emanate. \Vc wish him aprosperous journey to hiS'homo, and trust that the acquaintance formed on his visit to Carlisle, may long be remembered by hini and us. Congress adjourned on'l\icsday last, and the members are now-'bn their way lo their respec tive homes. JVIr. Ramsey is expected ii) toxyn.to day. For balance of volunteer toasts—sec first-page. Now thatwchave done with these ‘shortspeeches* of our friends, wo shall be able.to give our readers , a somewhat larger quantity of the “passing tid ings of the times.” IfoH-done, Frankford! —VVc learn that a number of tho democrats of Upper Frankford, met at the house of Major Wm. Wallace, -on Saturday tho 4th inst., and celebrated the ariniversary of Inde pendence by raising a LIBERTY POLE about eighty feet in length. After-the pole was erected, these present-gave three cheers for “Van Buren, Johnson, and No White Slavery,” and returned , to their homes woll pleased with the exercises of the day.* . * Our information Irom Frankford leads us to be lieve, that in that sterling old republican township, Federal Whiggery will have scarcely a “grease spot” left in all her borders aUnr the next election. May our democratic friends there go on “prosper ing and to prosper.” Our remarks lasi week, as well as those of our correspondent “Cujuiu,” had lire desired effect, if ■we arc permitted to judge from the unusual “flut tering amongst the wounded pigeons” of the op position,. From the great overgrown son of St. Crispin, down to the redouhlahlo Bi-Colonel and his protege Peter Parley, the sliot took effect, and they am e-ver-siuce raving and cursing in true Fed eral stylo. The Di-Colonel, in particular, wc are t'.ld is as furious as a mad bull, and threatens a ,tvar of extermination upon us and our correspond ents. \\ e adviso the sweet fellows to “save-lhcir wind to cool their porridge.’ We have got them “on the hip,” and wo intend to apply tho hirch to tire fullest extent. As to tho empty threats of the old Di-Colonel, wo look upon them as more un meaning sounds which have nothing in them to intimidate any body. We have now got our game in view; and we shall hold it up to public execra tion, and show the character of tho leaders' of the Harrison party in this borough and vicinity, in' its true colors. . And, in so doing, wo shall put a , i “whip in every honest man's hand, to lash the rascals naked round the world.” S©“spmc ofthc Fcderalists.are growling like . hears with a sore foot, our remarks last week.' Bo it so—wc have no objection. We alwoysMiko to call things by their right names —and to all those .whom the cap fits, wc intended they should wear it, Thorank and file of the Harrison party wo • have charily enough to consider honest and con - sciontious, and many of them we respect as men and as citizens; but severalof the feeders—those . wTipby fortuitous circumstances have been pushed, or rather pushed themselves,'to the head of the party, we look upon as unprincipled arid dishonest demagogues, vyhb would resort‘to any means, and ' stop short at nothing, no matter how vile and in famous, to carry their point. These are the crea tures we intended our remarks for/and, by the blessing of Heaven; we shall follow up tho blow wo have struck, until the honest and'respectable of their own party shall be heartily ashamed of ever, having followed, tho lead of such infamous miscreants. Mil/inglon:Sttnk--.\Ve learn from the LVStates Gazette, that Mathow T. Miller, Es<]. successor . to Robert T. Bicknell, No. 76, South Third Street, Philadelphia, has been appointed agent to redeem' the 'notes of the Commercial Bank of Millington, Md., at one half percent, discount; Encampments. —.To the Volunteers who dbsign taking an excursion abroad during thepresent sum mer, the proposed Encampments to. be held at , Dillsburg and Newyille, present favorable oppor tunities for carrying out their, intentions.' The first is to bo held bp the I9th of August,, and the sec- tffof-August^-Dillsburg is village, about 10 miles east of Carlisle,'in apleas ant apd fertile country.

They are to be sold, .not on account of committing acrime,butBECAUSKTHEYARETOO POOR THE COSTS! In the language of the Globe, “The man who had property.paid his ney and was free! he who had not, mist be sold, not for the crime, but for the poverty which do-, prived him of the means pf payment!" , The liberty of the poor man* says our talented cotemporary,is cheaper than the money of the rich one: for. while the former may he sold into slavery because he is too poor to pay lht( costs of an ordi nary misdemeanor, the. latter may commit crime after crime, and yet, with his money, buy himself perfect immunity from harm! The old soldier, whoso life blood has crimsoned our battle-fields, in [ fighting for oiir Liberties, is incarcerated, in the damp dungeon, because he is too poor to pay the costs of a common assault and battery, while the rich tory, who, during the war, may have been aiding and encouraging the enemies .of his coun try, is kept free from the disgrace of imprisonment, because he has money "to pay the costs of fifty "such crimes! And this is the law signed and voted for by Ge neral Harrison! . This is tho law which this Fed eral candidate for the Presidency, during his re cent journey, to Fort Meigs, and in tho streets, of Cincinnati, admitted that he had signed, and said that he would do it again, , if necessary! But our political opponents say it will have no such ope ration,-and' that it is oniy a law bearing upon crim inals; and the - Herald of last week promises to cohvince its readers that the law was just and hu mane, and that no fault ought to attach to Harri son for signing it or voting for it. Now, for the bnnefit of those who may still doubt on the sub ject, we subjoin the remarks of Gen. Lucas, made in thp Senate of Ohio against tho-bill, while it was pending in that body. Here they are:. Mr. Lucas said that he would vote for the mo tion of the gentleman from Champlain (Mr. Fith ian) to strike out the section. He considered it not only a violation of that provision of the consti tution of ihe State which declares that there shall bo neither slavery nor involuntaryservitnde in this Stale, but it contains principles of a revolting char acter. It declares lhat a person who is unable to pay fine or costs, shall bo liable to, bo sold; and that the individual who will pay tho fine and costs for the .shortest time of service, shall be the pur chaser. “What will bo the operation' of this section?” sajd Lucas. We will suppose a case, suppose.one of the patriots of the Revolution should be insult ed. by an enemy Of hi a ‘ country, or. a Tory .'ivTfd had fought-against him in the struggle for'liberty, and he should be provoked.to commit ah assault in de fending tho honor of his Government, by our laws he might bo prosecuted and fined. He is poorand unable, to.pay-.thofmo. Whatwould follow under' the provisions of this section? He is publicly ADVER PISED FOR SALE—he is dragged by < the crier along the street—tho man who provoked the assault bids the ambunt, of fine and coals for the'shortest term of service, say 40 years—THE OLD PATRIOT IS KNOCKED OFF TO HIS PERSECUTOR, and driven in triumph into BONDAGE. An unfortunate citizen who in on unguarded moment might bo thus subjected to the payment of a fine, would, bo .liable to be soi.n under this section, and DRIVEN INTO SLAV ERY BY A FREE NEGRO, should such a ne- -i gro choose to become the purchaser. This would he revolting to every principle of humanity, and a disgrace to the age in which we live.” * The above were words spoken in debate, before tho infamous Law—and we are proud to say it fortunately for the character of Ohio,was defeated by the Democrats in the Senate. Gen. Lucas and his fellow members regarded it then as we regard it now! He was on tho spot, and understood its bearing as every sensible man would do. His ar gument was unanswerable then, and it is now too •am in the day for the Federal prints to attempt to pervert it. Our neighbor may attempt to explain the odious law away, from now until doomsday, but still it will remain an indelible disgrace to the tyrant who sought to enforce it. What say you, Frccmeni.can you vote for such a man as William Henry Harrison? We appeal now to your feelings as MEN—aa-AMERICAN CITIZENS, who are jealous (if’that liberty bc gucathed to you as a rich legacy by your forefath ers. Wb appeal to your PRINCIPLES—to your love of JUSTICE and. RIGHT. Can you vote for the man who signed and voted for this infam ous Law!—a law, by which tho liberty of tho POOR MAN was abridged because he was. not a bk to pay the costs of a trifling tint—■a law, by which tho RICH VILLAIN anight do his evil decdswith impunity while he had the money to pay the fines! We cannot believe that there .is a single Free man, who prides in the name of an American citi zen, that.can go to -the polls with this infamous law in his-hands, .and there doposite-his-voto-for Harrison. Rich nabobs and tho scrub aristocracy of the land will .do it, but the groat mass of the people value too highly the rich and inestimable boon Of liberty, to elect a man to the Presidency, who would crush the poor and unfortunate citizen into the dust, if ho had the power, and place him, on a level with tho horse and the ox. Another Falsehood nailed.— The federal pa pers, alarmed at the injury likely to accruo to their cause from tho visit of Col. Johnson to Pennsyl vania, have.aet their wits at workto counteract the influence. Accordingly, with their accustomed penchant for lying, they. now assert that the Col. in the coursejof hie remarks to his fellow-citizens at Hatrisburg, took occasion to speak favorably of Gen. Harrison as a military man'and a Soldier, and deprecated the attacks made upon his character, as unfounded and ungenerous. • They also assert that the democrats who heard him, were “excoo. dingly vfootii” at his remarks. Rut tnprk ho w soon this base federal coinage is nailed to the counter. Hear what tho Harriaburg Keystone says oh-tho- Subject: ‘ : “Col. Johnson did not pronounce any panegyric upon Harrison, nor even mention bis name, or any act that he performed—nor was there a partisariof the administration,' but what, was highly gratified at all Col. J. said and done here,- as well as the results of his visit. The federalists are those who are “lorpW,” and would, if they dare, openly curse the old veteran who convinced many of the folly et Harrisonism.V. , UNPAnAi.r.Hr,ED Sobsohiptioh List—The Extra Globe.of the Bth inst. states that “the number now,’ subscribed for .falls but little short of FORTY-' rkOU&AND, and stih.tbey come at the rate of about six huhdreb a dat. ilt is how believed that the entire, subscriptiomwillexcoed FIFTY THOUSAND!” : ' -\ " W ' 'FLO DR inValtimore $5 00 from wagons.

It is hot political effervescence; it is not hard cider enthusiasm, but ■a fohd feeling which follows the limping gait .and. mutilated form of the old kind hearted soldier, who, is endeared to them by his own personal benevo lence, as well as devoted patriotism.- How the i Harrison men envy him the luxury, of his secret ' enjoymehl, springing from the ednsclousncss'of having earned-it by hard service and much.suffer ing! • Major Barrv, former Postmaster Genera], and aid to Gov. Sheldv at tho battle of the Thames, has often told us that when he rode, from the roar to sec the body of his friend* (the Colonel,) whom ho understood to have been killed, ho met the sol diers 'bearing him back to whore the reserve was stationed, in a blanket. The blood was flowing from each end, the drip from the middle not being sufficient to cairy it off. He looked in upon the Colonel, thus literally imbedde'd in liis^own-blood, and his face was instantly lighted with tho smile with which he always salutes his friends—“l will not die, Baruv, (said tho'Colonel,) I am mightily eui to pieces, but I think my vitals have escaped.” His courage, and his love for his friends, and pride in having, performed his <luty,-beamed from his countenance, having vanquished the anguish of his •torn feet and hands and;tho wounds through his bo dy. What must be his pleasures now, when his countrymen shower their applauses upon him, and*. all his toils and his pains are over!! Commodore Elliott; —We loam from' the Globe, that the Naval General Court Martial, which con vened at Philadelphin.on the dth of S(iiy last, for the trial of Commodore Elliott, found him guil ty of the Ist, 3d, 6th, ..6th,-and Sth charges prefer red against him, and sentenced him to be suspend ed far four years, with a suspension of pay for the, first two years. - • The sentence,has been approved by the Secre tary-of the Navy; but so much of it as deprived the Commodore of his pay has been remitted by the President. . 1 . We tliink the sentence of the Court unnecessa rily harsh anil severe, and ivo'are pleased to find that the President interposed bis authority to re store the Commodore,tho amount of pay duo his rank. After having spent tiro flower and vigor of his life in the service of his country, it is exces sively hard to suspend him from command, for what, to say the most that can he said‘of thcm, are but trifling offences, against tho fulca and regula tions of the Navy; hut it would have been the freiglith of cruelly and iiigratitudodo deprive him of tho means of subsistence for himself and his fam ily. Ho may have erred—hut it.was an error of -the head, and not of tho heart —and tho country owcs.him a debt of gratitude for his long and em inent services, during a period'of thirty-five years ,in the service, which can now, after the disgrace attending the sentence, never he cancelled. . “British Queen” arrived at New York on Saturday last, bringing papers from Eu rope up till tho Ist'inst.
