EBTA Democratic Meeting will be held at’ihe
Fountain of Health, on Saturday next, the 19th
iuat. TIIB Democrats of Mifflin earnestly invite
their friends in tho-nvighboring townships to join
with them upon the occasion.
The Address of the Committee appointed by the
late County Convention, to the Domocraliccitizens
of Cumberland county,; on the subject of the ap»
preaching elections, wijl bo found in this week’s
paper. Its extreme length should deter no one
from.rending.it, a's it_is a masterly and argumenta
tive vindication of the measures and policy of the
Democratic parly, and. a severe, but just scrutiny
of the acts and measures of Federalism. Head it
carefully, and then hand it to your.ncighhor.
.Mr. Zimmerman has .authorized us to state that
he,. with several of the Democratic members of
both branches of the Legislature, agreed, at the
time they received' the.pay for the recess from the
Slate Treasurer, to appropriate it to charitable and
benevolent purposes. Me accordingly .paid oyer
5G1.871 of the amount to several institutions of the
kind, aipopgst the rest ten dollars to the American
Colonization Society,and the balance In hisliands,
amountingloffl!7il2s, lie designs appropriating to
the erection bf a Church in the neighborhood In
which he resides.. Me. lias also authorised us to
state fflriher. that if there slmuld.liß any. doubt a
bout the correctness of what helias said, he will
procure receipts for the payment of the money from
the different institutions' ihat received it.
The nomination of Mr. Ramsey Is mortifying In
tl»e extreme to tho'BlUe . Light Federalists of this
Borough. He has been for many years, one of
the. greatest thorns in.their.sideo, and they would.
Just as, soon see did Nick himself in the field.—
Thtiy knoW;his popularity and.fhey dread his in
fluence'. He has risen to'the proud .eminence,
rtponwliich heSlands, by hjs own merits, and,' froth
iteloftypinnacreiho can look with contempt upon
the groveling nabobs and would-be-nobility who
hate him in their hearts. Strong in the affections
of the hardy yeomanry of his district, ho can hturl
defiance at the puny efforts tdbekk.window traitors
to injure! him by their malignant ravings, and all
their attempts ofthe;kind willonly endearhim the
more to the people-who have, placed their' confi

• It ia considercd extremelydonbtful by; many,
. whether the Federalists can get any man fool hardy
enoughto run against Mr. Rarosey in the District.

I EER.
His re-election is sure by b majority of thirty
thousand.- ;■;
: . The Democratic .ticket is how, complete. On
Friday last the Conferees of the-District, again
placed the nime of Wuxi Am S.- RsMsev before
the.people es the Democratic candidate for, Con
gress, and we this week place it at the head of our
County ticket, where it • shall, remain until he U
triumphantly re-elected to the station which he has
Bo sbly_and. so faithfully :filled. ' •
It will doubtless be gratifying to. the numerous
friends of Mr. Ramsey, in Pennsylvania and else
where, to And that
ests he so earcfully-attended'fbdirring the "recent
session of Congress, have not been unmindful of
his services, and that their confidence in his stern
political integrity remains unabated. That his
future course will richly merit tills generous con
fidence, no man who .is acquainted with his char
acter oari'doubt—and that he will continue, to dp
honor to himself and the District all will admit.
We have how a ticket in the field,composed of
sterling and.undhviating republicans—end we haz
ard nothing in saying that it will be elected by an
overwhelming - The Peace Parly Blue
Light Federal-ticket will scarcely be heard' of af
ter the election.'
The Sjieiuffaltv. —The Herald says:. “The
only .candidates now in the field for the Sheriffalty
are Paur. .Martin, the Pc/unlcCr candidate—and
James Reed, the nominated candidate.” We sup
pose therefore, from this announcement; that Messrs
Soutbeck and Kennedy have been kinked over the
fence, and Mr, Martin is made the exclusive re
cipient of Federal favor and influence. How the
gentlemen above mentioned Will relish this sum
mary mode of dismissing their claims, remains to
bo seen. -
A word as.it regards Messrs. Reed and Marlin.
Mr. Reed was nominated in a full Convention of
delegates from every borough and township in the
county—and is therefore, it is fair to presume, the
chosen candidate' of a large majority, of the people.
Mr. Martin, received his ndhnination in a secret,
backroom, self constituted, caucus of your’individ
uals,—whether this constitutes him a “Volunteer”,
candidate or hot, we leave lire public to. answer,'
The' rnere ipse dixit of the Herald is not sufficient .
The boast of.our neighbor that Mr. Martin will
he elected, is merely "to keep "dp appearances.—
Mr. Orabb knows as well ns everybody else, that
the Democratic candidate, Mr. Reed,, will bo elec
ted by at least 500 majority—but then it w-oh’t do I
to tell his party so. If he would tell the readers ]
of the Herald the true state of the case, his party '
would not.bo able to make a rally at all—hence
the necessity for sounding his blow-horn occasion-i
ally." . i
The last Herald-wlth -characlotislic_n>endac4ty
makes sundry chargcsagainstMr. Van Burcn, of
bping opposed to the right of suffrage, &c. while
a member of the New York Senate, and winds up
by saying that they “hold, themselves bound to
prove all and each of these charges,” provided \vc
suppose, they 'afe denied.
Well then, Jbr your, proof. .Wo deny in loto
that Mr. Van Burcn ever pursued the course alleg
ed against him in the Herald. On tire contrary,
,we charge upon that paper a wilful perversion of
facts, a disingenuous falsification ofi.tlie record,
and a villfainpus attempt to fasten the sins of some
pf the prominent Federal leaders York,
upon the skirts of Sir. Van Buren.
W® therefore rfore the. Herald to tho proof.—
Let. there be. no backing out. Wo hope our neigh
bor will too the mark for once, and attempt to
make good his charges against the Democratic'
candidate,
. The Federalists talk as flippantly now about
xl tlartfaon and-Jttfurm," as they formerly talked
about (• miner mid Ileform," By tho way, this terra
lit farm is rather an indefinite expression, and.may
mean any thing or cVoty thing to Suit the person
-who uses it* If the opposition party,would- only
be magnanimous enough to toll the people what
kind of Deform tjibf'intendod introducing, in the
event of their success, it would save a Vast deal of
thought in the chape of conjecture; If ;yfln meet
a Federalist in the street and ask him something
about-lbe nature of this much talked o t rtfurm, his
reply invariably is, “oh, never mind, when Har
rison is elected President we’ll letyoti know then!”
But if you press him a Ullle harder, and interrogate
him as to whether Harrison is ih favor or against
thisedhat, or tho other particolar'measuro of Na
tional policy—his, reply will be, “never mind till
old Tip ia safely domiciled in tho. Presidential
mansion,and thenymj’ll know all abbulhis Views.-”
If you crowd Win- still further into tils lie’ll
.off'with his heaver, and shout at, the top of his
voice, “Huzza for Tip, Tyler, and three
cheers for. tho Log Cabin and Hard Cider candi
date l” ;
From the above it will bo perceived that tbopjaj
pie areleft to grope.in 'the-dark about theTnature
■and extent of these promised reforms, and the only
Way to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion about
tho mailer, (seeing that Gem- Harrison himself
will not condescend to answer any questions,) (a
to examine history to See what kind of the 1
Federalists introduced when they' had it In their'
power, ..If wo go-back to the- “Jleign of Terror”
under the elder Adams, we find that, during bis
four yehrs Presidegcy,. he- introduced.a" number,
amongst tho rest a 'Standing Army, and an Men
and Sedition Law, Ifive Cbme down to the Hither
administration in our own State)*’We find, among
the reform* then, introduced, a-Mammolh Bank
chartered with unlimited powers, an Inyuiiition
attempted to be established, the piihlic. dcbt in
creased by many millions, villainoiis , frauds per
petratodifffln'dezthe cognizance pf men high in au
thority, atthe polls, an attempt to.“treat tiie'olec
tion of iedS as thongb it had not beon held,” a
diabolical sc|rcmb concoctedto forco;men into the’
Legislature who were rejected by a largo majority
of the people at tho ballot boxes, and, to cap the
climax, an armed Force of oho fflousanff met), pro
vided with “buckshot and bap,” marched to the
Seat of government toshoot down theciUzoria wlio
wrap there enntendingfor their rights, and to men
ace ,fm'd, i“t>raida»o',thd' legislature from dischar
png their duty to the people! ?
The above are some of ffle nfflrnu attempted to
hecairried/onfby .the' Federal ’ party, and to these'
' .womight add the celebrated "broad'Boal”' rfyrm
tf thr?ederal by which ‘

turedhundred of voters for the occasion, and (bisled
"a man' into Congress for twp'succesaiyo terms who
.was no more entitled to a seat there {han the man
in the moon!. ’ ' -* •
■ 'These,-then, are amongst (he prominent reforms
of the Federalists when in power, and as General
Harrison says that he baa cbanged none of his po
litical; principles, and it is very certain that hie
friends haVe changed none of thoir’a, may. wenot
reasonably anticipate the character of this “firs
form '* which the Federalists are' now talking so
loudly, about.
Whether the people again want the reforms of
John Adams and. Joseph ItUncr, remains to be
seen. If ; they do, then wo must confess tfioro is
mord magic in the words “Harrison and.Relonn”
than we ever dreamt of;With them, however be
it. ‘ ; ■ • - ■ ■ -
. “Straws Show,!’ &c. —The Federalists of the
.Third Congressional District, (Philadelphia) con
scious of the frauds they committed in the two pre
vious elections, by which they'succeeded in re
turning Naylor to Congress, when it was generally
believed, nay, proven, , that Mr. Ingersoll had' a
large majority of the legal voles of the District,
are how afraid, to trust their candidate again before
the people, seeing that they have no Registry law
to back them in their.schemes of villainy. The
Democrats of the District, fceling' that their rights
were trampled upon, and that Mr. Ingersoll was
basely defrauded out of his seat, have again placed
that .gentleman in nomination, and invited, nay
earnestly desire, that the ballot box should test the
whole merits of the controversy. Naylor declines
standing a poll, and the Federalists have nomina
ted a certain Morton McMichaol, a pretended dem
ocrat, to run against Mr.-Ingetsoll. They knew
that there was “cheatery about the board”, before—
hence they dare not trust Naylor again before the
people.
Grand Explosion.— During the last week no
less tlian four of the Shin Platter Manufactories bf-
Ballimorfc exploded, viz! The “Patarscq Savings
Fund, the “Baltimore Savings Institution,” the
“Mechanics’ Savings Fund,” and the “Citv
Trust Company.” , Those, therefore, .who held
any of this wqrthless'Federal currency, may how
whistle for their money.' The Baltimore Republi
can, in noticing the ‘explosion, brings the respon
sibility home to the Federal \VJiig, party of that
State, by-showing that thtf Federal Senate killed
tho' anti-shin-plaster law, which had been .passed
.by the Domocritic Houses—every DemocralicSen
ator voted for the measure which would have pre
vented the issue of the miserable trash which-has
now proved worthless, wliile every Federal Sena
tor voted against it. This is a fact which speaks
volumes, and shows conclusively wlio-are, and
who are not the friends of the Shiti Planter system.

Fuml,” Baltimore, K. F. Cooke, has been arrested

“THE JERSEY BLUES" COMING.
An immense meeting of the'democrats of New
Jersey was held at Morristown on Friday the 4th
inst* It is supposed to be’the largest political con
vention ever assembled in that state, at least ten
thousand people, being inattendance. The meet
ing Was addressed by several eloquent gentlemen,
among whom Was Gov,-Vroom, who successfully
vindicated the course pursued’ by Congress in the
disputed election exhibited to the people
Indisputable) evidence of the great frauds practised
upon them at lhe.election._i.The editor of the New 1

WhjWorally, we feel ASHAMED to raise dur

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That thq.jcontcst for the Presidency is emphati
cally between the old and welLtried Democracy
on .the one hand, and ancient and inveterate Fed
eralism on tho other; —tho ono striving for tho
“greater goo.d of tho greatest number,” tho other
contending for chartorcd privileges for tho FEW,
at the expense of the MANY. *.
Keep it before the People, that in the State of In
diana, (when there was no Lucas to protest in sol
emn terms against its passage) Harrison approv
ed and signed a law, to sell white men, to which
was superadded tho penalty of thirty-nine lashet,
if tho while slave be ho mate hr FEMALE,
'sought liberty in escape and was apprehended—a
law which wo venture to aasqrt,is'without parallel
in the darkest and most barbarous ages of antiquity,
and the cruelty of which would' cause the heart of
oven a South Sea Islander to bleed in mercy.
Keep it before the people, that Harrison, by this
law, placed the liberty of tho poor man and the
money of the rich man on an equality! The man
who was fortunate enough to havo*«umey could
pay his fine and be free, but tho in an .who had not'
money must necessarily forfeit his LIBERTY,
and ntorte for his uusfurluno in chains and dun
geons! - Here is the prime essence of Aristocracy 1
Laborers and mechanics reflect upon it, when the
hypocritical scrub nobility would fain present Gen.
Harrison as your friend! ■
Keep it before the pepple, that Harrison, as Gov
ernor of Indiana, also approved and signed a law,
.imposing re property qualification upon voters, to
entitle them to a right of suffrage!, The man who
owned a freehold of Fifty Acres of land was allow
ed to approach the ballot-boxes, but he who did
hot own.such freehold was debarred the privilege
•of voting. Was this manifesting love for the poor
man? Heaven defend us from Wove” like this:
Keep it before'the people, that Harrison, resigned
his commission during the last war, during the
hottest and thickest of the fight, and he returned
home, leaving the fighting to be done by the gal
lant and intrepid JACKSON, who ended the war
in a “blaze of glory” at New Orleans.
Keep it before the people, that the Senate of the
United States immediately after the war refused t 6
present Harrison will: a medal and a vote of thanks,
although it was proposed to do so, and that on mo
tion of Abner Lacock, of Pai (one of his own par
ty,) “the name of Harrison was strident from the
resolution."

Keep it before the people, tbat.the select and com
mon council of the city of New York about the
same time, by a vote of 13, to 5, refused granting
Harrison the freedom of the city, although they
had previously honored Decatur, Perry, &c. The
federalists hive been repeatedly challenoed to as.
sign-a cause for this refusal, but they dare not at
tempt it.

Keep it before ihe people, that. Harrison in 1834,
ran on the ADAMS electoral ticket in Ohio and was
defeated; that, he rah in 1832 for Congress on the
Federal ticket and was defeated by 063 majority;
and that in 1831 he ran on tho Federal ticket for
the lower house Of the legislature and was defeat

for Governor, and received but 4,348 votes out of
nearly 50,000 polled) 7 In his own county he re

TWO HAYS LATER FROM ENG-
-LAND. ""
By the arrival of the St. Petersburg, at
Boston, arid of the Alexander at this port,
papers have been received 1 from England as
[ate ns (he evening of the 6th of August.—
The only additional newg of any .interest
relates to the position of affairs in the East.
By a telegraphic despatch, which . reached
Paris on the 2d August, it was announced
that on the 28th of July, the-insurrection in
Syria terminatedjivithout firinga shot, & that
the Egyptian' fleet had returned to Alexan
dria with a part of.the troops which had been
conveyed.tOySyria, . The effect of this news
at Paris was to’ produce an immediate im
provement of live funds. I *.
Letters from Alexandria, of.thc.lT'th tilt,,
received in Malta, by the Leonidas steamer,
confirmed (his intelligence. A despatch
from the Governor of Beyroot, dated the
12th ult. informed the viceroy of the- event.
The Druses and othef insurgents sent hosta
ges to Damascus in return to propositions
made by MchtmCt Ali granting them impor
tant concessions. ’ On receipt of Ibis intelli
gence, the Pacha immediately addressed a
circular letter tffthe consuls, apprising them
of the pacific conclusion of the Syrian-insur
reclion. The Egyptian division of thirteen
frigates and one sail of the line, which had
left Beyroot on the appearance of the Power
ful-and-Edinburg before that city, had re
turned to Alexandria. ,
The accounts from France represent the
government as active in rendering the army
and navy very effective. The journalists o'f
all parties are unanimous in tlieiropinion res
pecting a.vindication of the “national hon
or,” and highly aproyeof the energetic meas
ures. of the government. Notwithstanding,
these preparations, tlte Liverpool papers
sneer at the idea of France pretending to
assume an attitude'hostilo towards the com
bined powers of England, Austria, and Rus

■ The Faculty would invito the attention of tho
Students of Medicine, and the profession generally -f
Jo the peculiar advantages of their Institution.—-I
The plan ia a now one. In tho satna edifice is
contained a College for the delivery of Lectures—
room for.a huge number ofsludonts, (.resident) and
a Hospital for the side. ;
The Hospital which is the place chosen for the
reception of the seamen of tho United Slates, on-,
titled to hospital relief from the government, and
cotitainihjr about one hundred patients,’public and
private, affords one of tho best fields for the study ■
of disease in tho conntry, and as the resident stu
dents have charge of tho patients under tho direc
tion of tho Professors, they cannot fail to acquire
u knowledge of practice which will greatly facili
tate tlioir success in after life. The arrangements'
for the prosecution of the important Department of
Anatomy are unsurpassed in this country.. In ad
dition to tile abundance of subjects for which Bal
timore has always.hecn remarkable, owing to tho
liberal enlightened wlcWs of her citizens,-the ar
rangements of tlie Dissecting room in tho Univer
sity are such as to-afford peculiar facility. .
In the different departments the Professors arc.
well supplied,with the essential means of demon
strating whatever is required.
, The Chernies! apparatus suffices to illustrate the
principles of Chemistry. The department of Snr- -
gory will be illustrated by a large number of instru
ments, models and apparatus, some of which were
lately imported from .Europe.
Tho Faculty believe that young men who really
desire to acquire a knowledge of the profession,
cannot fail to he struck with the gccafUdvantage
an institution organized on.so improved a plan
must afford, and they invite all such to visit their
institution, and to form on impartial judgment *f
what is. tho best suited to advance their own into
-rest. , ’ '■
