- On Saturday last odr friends in the upper end of
the county, hold their HarvestHome/ht Newville.
Never before have we beheld within the - borders
of Old Cumberland such a gathering of her lioncsi
farmers and hiechanics. Large and overwhelming
as tlio meeting was at Shippensburg ‘two weeks
bofdfc7 i^^'TiS3u{i»jwißcKdr^TMS^afe~as
semblage. ’ ,
'ln tile early part of the day the pedple commenced
flocking in from the'’surrounding townships by
flrUndrcdsTon hpMebaek, On foot,'in carriages,'nnd
•in wagons, and before’thc hdur of eleven, arrived
the town was literally jammed tvilhthe 'ilninditkc
'throng. Then came'the from .Ship
ipcnshurg, Leesburg and Stonghstowti, iniirching
in a •Solid phalanx with their 'colors flying and
nlliklc ipla'ying—on 'their b-JrinefS H\‘dro 'inscribed
Va m lie hen, 'Johnson, PorTee’ and 'Buchanan,
with appropriate mdttos. Next came the honest
and hardy deiUdcrats 'froift ftdnkford, .‘Hopewell
and Mifflin, hearing aloft "The Independent
Treasury.” Then, amidst a cloud of dibit, could
be descried tho lengthened lines of 'the dpproaoh
'ihg'delcgiltions from Dickinson, South Middleton,
West Pennsboto’, North Middleton, Silver Spring,
Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Monroe, Allen and East
Pennsboro 1 , all hastening to tho place of meeting.
It was truly a glorious and joyous spectacle to
'thus behold the honest yeomanry of the country
'turning oiilto'thereSdtie of the'Republic from the
rapacious and grasping 'hands df the old Black
Cockade Hartford. Conventionists, and 'the advo
cates of the Alien and Sedition laws.
Tiio people were there in llieir might,, to bid
defiance to their old enemies nu\V disguised in the
garb of Whiggery. Amongst‘the numerous dele
gations We observed with 'pleasure a strong turn
out of tile Cordurainers from ’the botoD’gh df Car
lisle, with 'thpir banner marked “The sons of St,
Crispin fur the Independent Treasury," showing
evidently that the 'ivorkhtg'tnenbade 'mil been de
