Judging from the preliminary arrangements in the different counties, we have not n doubt that it was the largest assemblage of Freemen ever congregated In Pennsylvania. Great Volunteer Encampment.—We under- . stand that it is in contemplation to'hold a volunteer encampment at the celebrated Paoll Hattie gcoUud *- in Chester county, on the flOlh'of September next. It will doubtless be the largest encampment of the hind ever held in Pennsylvania, as wo understand . a general invitation has been given to all volun teers E ist of the mountains, as well as those in the adjoining Stales of New Jersey, New York; - The Adjutant General of Pennsylvania will take the command, assisted by Maj. Gen. Hartman and others. His Excellency, Gov. Verier, as Cbra mander in Chief, will-be- invited- to- review-the tropps during the encampment.

The truth is, the Federalists know/ when they assert \6hal they do about it; that they He from the. bottom of their hearts—knowingly and iyilfnlly LlE—and hence they dare not give it publicity through their newspapers. 1 Wo again invito all to read it-xand wo defy any 'bne. evbn the most higoted Federalist, to lay his finger upon a single Section or paragraph pf the ■ -Whole-Bills which is not strictly inaccordancewith the constitution, and which Isfioltruly republican in its features.

The spectacle was truly impe sing,and gladdened tile hearts of all who witnessed it save the advocates of sour cufer,.who looked as if a double portion of their favorite beverage hud been administered to them. It so far out-numbered the Federalond Anti-masonic assemblage held at the same place on a preceding day, as to render a comparison almost entirely out of the question.

They then dispersed in good order with three cheers for Van Bureh&Johtlsoh. Noafc'oidehi or unpleasantoccurrenoe took place duringtli'o day. All seemed to.be actuated by a noble enthusiasm that promoted the utmost cordiality and gopd feel ing. and the firsl'day of August, 1840, will long be remembered in the annals of Cumberland couiw ty, a* affording an instance of the most signal re buke of Federalism and British Whiggery ever recorded in her political history. 1 ° ■ *Jbe number of persons on the ground 'have been variously estimated at from 1200 to 2000—we’ hoard-no one, federalist or democrat, calculate them at less than the former number. And all agreed that the number was nearly double what they had at. the Federal -Harvest Home on tho Wednesday previous, ; ' .The following arc the resolutions unanimously adopted by the meeting: Resolved, That we approve of the'nomi nation made by the National Democratic Convention, of Marlin Van Burcn fur re election to the ('residency, and" that we hereby pledge ourselves to make CSVery honorable exertion to secure his election. By so doing we sustain ah Administration conducted upon'purely Jeffersonian princi ples, which has met with the unqualified ap probation of the Democratic party through out the Union. Resolved, That we approve of the nom ination by the Harrisburg Democratic Con vention of Richard M. Johnson,for re-elcc .tion-to-the-Vice -Presidency— atbat-wcTepustr entire confidence in the integrity-and firm ness of him^whose wounded body bears tes timony to bis bravery in tire field of battle,, and whose long and arduous services in the councils of the nation, prove bis devotion p> the public good and challenge the gratitude of. his countrymen. - _■ ' Resolved, That.we congratulate the dem ocratic party ot the Union, upon the passage ol the Independent Treasury Bill by Con gress, being the only constitutional, tire most economical, and only safe plan that could possibly be devised for the safety of the public money, ami that its adoption, In des pite of the diversified and contradictory objections, fabricated- and -made current among fools, serves-blit to furnish additional confirmation of the truth that the “second sober thought” iny'ariablyiriumphs over error, falsehood and corruption, Resolved, That the admission of the Dem ocratic members of New Jersey to their seats in Congress, was a signal triumph of popular rights over official fraud* ami. that, high handed, law less attempt to “treat the election as though it had never occurred,” thus to disfranchis.ca state of hersuvereignty to defeat the direct constitutional expression of. the popular.will, as expressed tlirutiglijhe■ ballot box, was one of the many base, unhal lowed attempts to reduce to practice the odious principles; of federalism. Resolved, That the* base misrept'esenfa tions and 'falsehoods, concocle,(| anti circu lated by tliU' opposition against the National Administration, afford conclusive evidence bl the Weakness of their cause and their des pair as to the ultimate result. Resolved, That the fanners, mechanics, anil labufing men,want no particular sympa thy nor cuucidsratiun, they ask, hut for jus tice & equal rights, with their fellow citizens; they want no National Bank with its aristo cratic tendencies, with its, branch Oahks— with its host of Presidents, Clerks, Cashiers, brokers, shavers and other leeches ta.fatten upon the reward of their labor, to derange their business through its extravagant ex-: pansiuns and stlddetT contractions, with its connections with British interest and British policy to retard and paralyse their free gov ernment.' .

Sturgeon, our Senators in Congress; that they have been true to their principles, have stood by the Constitu tion and honor of the country with a firm, ness and devotion that wins for them the ap plause of freemen. Resolved, That the Hon. Wm. S.

Hesolvctl, That the present universal and apparently concerted suspension of specie payments by the nine hundred Banks of this country, adds another to the many evidences of the necessity of Bank reform, and fully demonstrates the absurdity and the folly of attempting again to prop up the present rot-, ten system,' merely that it may again fall and overwhelm us in its ruihsi litsolucd, That the evils of a' disordered alld'(lepicciatc(l“paper“curreirry'irrd'nor{o be remedied by the fresh emission of a paper currency, because paper already depreciated is necessarily subjected to a greater depre ciation by the .additional increase of .paper money. The establishment bf,i.U.

Resotoed, That we view the opposition as composed (it ili cfagemls of all parties, of “black spirits and white, of blue spirits.and Sl'cy,” made up of conflicting factions, united (inly by acojnipoa hatred of Dcmpcratic.tcuthf bound by no bond but a “common feeling of hatred to every man of purer principles than themselves,” and that their aseendenev would prove detrimental to the'great cause "of Re publican liberty, and .the permanent-welfare of the people, L ' Resolved, That'in'the present political contest, we do nof distrust either the integrity ot the mass of-thc people, or their firm and unwavering determination to protect the in stitutions and liberties.of the country—that we believe they only want light and tru th to act understanding!/, and.that.under these influences, they will be found as-prompt to. protect the true.: principles of Democracy from tile encroachments'of’federal whigism,' as their homes and firesides from a foreign foe. • On motion, ‘ Resolved, That (ho Hon.

The first, fire, with the .usual yell of the savages, ns you inny suppose", caused great cdnfusltiu in the ranks for a short time! —Singular aa it may appear, but ftftecn men of our command fell dead; a number, how.- ever, were wounded dangerously, A major ity of the men being recruits, and this their flr&W taste of gitnpoivder,showed signs of fear and began to break.

Was formed, and a deadly fire poured into the hammock among the Indians, who showed themselves bpldly and in great numbers.
