Toderalisl* are circbluting a report through -the
District, that this gentleman isHnying dangerously
ill, and, that no hopes are entertained of his recov
ery—expecting by the propagation of this falsehood,
to prevent some of the Democrats from-voting for
him. v
It is, true that Mr. Ramsey has been somewhat
indisposed for a few weeks past—but ho is now
'convalescent, and has so far recovered as to be
■abih.to'again make his appearrince auionz Ms fol
low citizens, touch, no douht, to the mortification
•of his political enemies who dread his talents and
influence.' Our friends, iltcreforo, in casting their
for Mr. tiamsey, need be under no appre
hension >that they are voting for a man who is ly
ing at u.he point of death. Ho ie-fast recovering
from his late indisposition,;and in a few days will
have attuned his usual health and vigor.

Let the Federalists no longer claim the name of
*f Democratic Whigs." Let no Democrat again call
them any thing but their right names—and let
that name be, .what it in reality is, FEDERAL
ISTS. If that ancient name is not'euphonious
enough for their delicate ears, add the equally ap
plicable titles of TORIES, ABOLITIONISTS,
and ENEMIES OF THEIR COUNTRY. They
are the SAME‘PARTY, and the same men who
advocated the Alien and Sedition Laws” of the
older Adams, ami all the wicked heresies oniiat
Black Cockade administration—the same party
and the'same men, too, who went for the Brit
ish during the last war. They support the same
principle of exclusive privileges- advocated by
the Aristocracy of England—and if they should
unfortunately, get the power in their hands, they
will fasten upon the necks of the p'caplc the yoke
of the haughty, overbearing British stock brokers
and fund mongers.
FREEMEN I We call upon you to READ
and PONDER—and if you love .your country and
its institutions, more than you do the rule of irre
sponsiule monopolies —if you love the freedom
you enjoy, more than you dread or despise the des
potism of a moneyed Aristocracy —we conjure you
to be up and doing. Go to the polls—and, by vo
ting for the whole DEMOCRATIC! ticket, give a
Anal quietus to the unholy aspirations after power
entertained by those wild have' always opposed
you.
The Federalists, and their candidate, Mr. Mar
tin, we undersland t are circulating a report, with
the view of. injuring Mr, Heed, the, Democratic
'Candidate for Sheriff, that he. is an Irishman.—
Now, whether the mere ;fact of a man’s having
been born irr Ireland, should operate as a bar’a
gainst his election to, office, is a question which
we leave Federalists to answer for themselves
their embittered hostility to foreigners generally,
and Irishmen in particular, being proverbial, Jlut
Democrats* are actuated by far different motives.
They look upon the free soil of America as an asy
lum for the oppressed of, all nations, and are over
ready to cxtend.the hand* of friendship to welcome
the cjuldren tirduf.'siiores^
Our readers,—however,^oiv~judge-]iQ\Vrmuch-of
an Irishman Mr. Reed is, when we inform them
is not quite fifty years of age, and that for
the last 'forty eight years (a longer period perhaps,
thanJiisjjom'petUor, Mr. Martin, lias been in exis
tence,) i»o has been a resident of Cumberland
county !
How can any Irishman support the .Federal
party and its candidates? .^VVo‘marvel that there
is a single son of the Kinerald Isle so reckless of
his fights and liberties, as to vote with a party
Who would disfranchise him; and make, him a
mere serf or a sldve in this hoastqd land of liberty!
BB?*The Federal Hard Cidor County Meeting
in "this Borough, on Thursday last, was a most
miserable failure—Scarcely. a'sufficient number
being in attendance to raise the white oak pole
which was prepared for the occasion. We are
very certain that not more than three hundred vo
tables were in attendance, a : large majority of
whom were citizens of-the Borough. By lh'oway7
it was rather amusing to witness the exertions at
the pole of the Hard Cider nabobs, soap locks, court
icr hoppers, ruffle shirt dandies, .ami other such tiny
and wasp-like animals—most of whom couhhscarcp,-.
ly “stoop so low’* as to raise a pound of feathers.
There wero to be sure a few brawny farmers from
the country present, and to these, with the. assis
tance of some five or. six muscular negroes , are
the good citizens of tho town mainly indebted for
the erection of the pole which now ornaments the
public square. • • **
‘The polo was brought to the ground about 11
o’clock, and after a good deal of pow-wowing and
fixing to get ready, the raising commenced.—
When, after bard labor, and much puffing and,,
blowing, the}’ got the centre elevated to an angle
of about forty-five degrees, it. was found that the
top would’nt come along, and they,
to let the pole down again in order, to strengthen
it with stays of Railroad iron, bands, &c. Having
done go they again and
about 2 o’clock finally succeeded in getting it ele
vated to n perpendicular.position.
After having got the pole up, they retired to
Macfarlane’s Hotel (not in procession, however;
for they could’nt have raised one,) to hoar
course from the “Buckeye Blacksmith.*’ About
4 o’clock the meeting adjourned to meet again in
the Court House at 7 o’clock, where the people
were a second time.enteftained by this c/iwfe and
elegant Whig lecturer,and by his particular friends
Mr. Back tvindoio Penrose, and our amiable would

, lurer madtf his appearance in oUf Borough, accor
ding to appointment, on Thursday last; Weft
with a gtcat many-democratic citizens, irhpellea
by curiosity, went to see him and hear what ho
had to say against tho democratic candidates and
in favor of and Tyler. From tho high
wrought enediAiums passed upon him by tho Fed
eral press generallyi .wo were led to conclude that
ho was a real prodigy of talent—a second Demos
thenes, who had conic to fire tho hearts of the peo
ple by his burning eloquence and the brilliancy
of his imagination, and who could lead 'his audi
ence captive against their will. Wo were induced
.to bclievd that in personal appearance, in his man
ners and deportment, ho'was a perfect model of
all that was lofty, and dignified in the .whole race
•of Adam. But how wore we disappointed! In
stead of the tall and commandihg stature,with the
elegant proportions figured put for him by the
Whigs,, we found him low of stature, ill-shaped,
unprepossessing and unsightly—a perfect “row~
dy” in appearance, and a most consummate black
guard in his deportment and address. ’ His lan
”guagcTami~gc stures are low, obscene and vulgar,
and every thing about him indicates that he would
be a more fitting companion for the fish women in
the Baltimore market, or a bully at the Five Points
in NoW -York, than for-mcn and women who pride
themselves upon their decency and respectability.
It is said that he once acted the part of a clown in
a circus—and for this vocation wc should think
him admirably qualified. He is, ho>vever, the
hired orator of the “all decency 1 ’ party, and if the
would-be lordltnga and nabobs of this Borough, or
any other place, choose to take him by tho hand
and.introduce him into thdir parlors and dining;
rooms, we have no objection. Democrats are’

They give tbreo cheers to Gen. Jackson! It is
perfectly ridiculous, Why the. old federalists
,and Tories who were there present, would gibbet
the Hero of Now-Orlcans, if they dare do.it —aye
scatter his body, hy pieco-meal; to the four winds
.of Heaven, and blot cut his name from the tablet
of memory 1 They honor Gen. Jackson, indeed—
the old veteran who blasted all their hopes of dis
union, as a soldier, and defeated all their; schemes
of villainy, as a statesman! It is supremely.' ab
surd, and unaccountably wicked. To hoar such
men as Penrose, and the Biddles, and the Parkers,
&c. &c. shout hosannas tp the venerable Jackson,
is enough to make even demons smile at the reck
less.deoeption .and brazen-faced impudence of the
leaders of the modern Whig party!
The Buckeye Blackguard and his followers, at
their gatherings, are in the habit'of singing Tippe

the establishment, as well as the lives of thebands
who were at work on th e. thi rd story, saved ..No
doubt is entertained'but that it was the work of a
Federal incendiary. The Republican is one ofihe
ablest and most spirited Democratic papers in the
Union, and the heavy blows'inflicted on Federal
ism through its columns, has rendered it extremely
obnoxious to that party. The bitterest party feel

language, of the desperado, Stockton, to "give the

“Damn you! ip I had known your Politics
.YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE WORKED FOR Me!’’
Such were the loud exclamations of a
Federalist, a few days .ago, in the streets of
Augusta, to a laboring democrat! That ex
clamation was over heard, and if the inso

deny it, we will bring it home, and pin it

worked for me!” Is this spirit to be toler

of 1770?
We appeal to the,democracy? We appeal

married to, a Miss Murdock, of lhateity,
and they arrived here in the steamboat line
and (ooic'apartments in’ the City Hotel.—
Dinner was ordered, but Mr. Chaplain de
clined eating any, and called for some wa
ter to wash himself. At that time he ap
peared to be wi>ak and' staggering. Howev
er, when 'the table was set, he eat-of the
fare moderately, and after drinking a glass
of wine, said he felt much better. He then
retired to the Chamber, where he fell‘down
in a fit, And in a short time expired.
Medical.aid was called in, ljut it was of
no avail. He had been for some timo.pra-,.
vious tu his maniageinill health,'but,-oh

- Corruption.—Pain cannot exist but from
corrupt particles being seated in the iden
tical part where the pain is experienced.—
These corrupt particles, when in greatquanr.
;titr, are the positive cause or death.
It is a solemn truth that„corrupjion termi
nates existence of all created beings, and the
importance of its speedy removal from the
body is of'incalculable value.. The most
sure and speedy way to-remove corruption
or any other infirmities to which the human
frame is liable, no medicine has beeu found
so effectual .as . BrandretbV Universal
Vegetable Pills.
They yyljl, if used during the prevalence
of any cause for disease, entirely prevent
fatal results; because they remove from the
stomach and morbific matters
generated , from any causes whatsoever,
whether those causes be from impure air, or
footf which disagrees with the body..
