J%\tticcs. The Excitative Committee of: the Cum berland. County Temperance Society have meetings appointed as follows: Feb. 0. Eyefling—l logcsfown.- 1 "> at 11 A. M.—Mechanicshhrg. ' , “ 22. Evening—Pine School lloiuV, in Dickinson township. M. Caldwell; Chairman: Feb. 1, 1841. . ■: For the Volunteer, THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE. Mr. Editor;—lproposc in this article to .answer, the question why the public pledge is better than a mere, resolution, or than any private engagement entered into with an individual. And it is to he noticed at the outset that the public pledge secures all the advantages of the resolution which the indi vidual niay form without, a pledge, as also all those which connect themselves with a private .pledge.' Those that follow, then,' are what he realiy.es oypr andahov'e. First —Such is the present constitutinnof ■society, that what is nobody’s particular bu siness, no body attends to at all: and no where do we find this principle more strong ly exhibited, than in the apparent inditl'er onco with which the community looks upon the cntiff downward progress of tire young man who falls into intemperance and conse quent disgrace. llis hours of remorse and repentance, if he has any, are not known to - vv«ul<l perhaps' bo, willing" to aid himjk'nu his good resolutions, it made in pri vate, being unknown,- nobody ventures to interpose his. friendly influence to save the' victim, till it is 100 late, and perhaps never. Second— The aid which lie receives, who public-pl«Jggjsluc maintaining Jlcsi. number who feel-an interest in having it ob served. . Jlc then.who is associated with-an extensive and respectable society will not • bo very likely to.gct out of thc.reacli of that -■ kind.of restraint which a friendly interest in his welfare throws around-him. ' ’Third—The. signing of a (cm'pcranceT pledge and; becoming a member of a temper ' ancc society, changes very materially all the associations of him who. tins been accustom ed to drink.- -.His drinking companions -be ing exchanged for the teinperate, and Tils places of resort now being where he meets the friends of temperance,one of the princi pal. temptations to error is removed.' ■ Fourth —Whenever he who is - known to ■ have signed the pledge, falls into (lie com ■jpany ot liim who drinks,—utdess Ihe latter is lost to all that is good or honorable, —he Svili find the obligations which lie has token ■ci v' 1 P9 n himself respected; and he w ill not on ■ ly oot be urged but will not bo ashed, to drink. |Q"The man who, knowing that I . had pledged myself not to drink, should urge me to violate that pledge, 1 wouldshun . as 1 would shun him who had wasted ihy rep utation, slandered my character, or stolen my. purse; and would consider him my deadliest enemy. He who Would do this, has private ends to secure which he is witting to attain by the ruin of him whom he meanly and falsely calls his friend; and the more fatal the ruin and the more, wide-spread the desolation wrought, the more would its author chuckle in private over the. success. j»f his diabolical plans. . , Let the man, then, who has taken on him the vows of the temperance pledge*, know -what estimate to set on the pretended„ftieml ship of him who would again entice him .to the haunts of vice and of crime, or in any’ other way induce him to abandon Ids prince pies Fifth —If tho man who has become allied to the the temperance cause by a public pledge should in.some unfortunate hour'fall into error, he will at once be sm-rbunded by his real friends, and from them receive the aid necessary to his restoratibn to.his friends and to society; while, if not a member of a ■temperance society, he would almost neces sarily fall among those described above,'who under the guise of friendship would plunge him still deeper into transgression and digit grace, and throw every embarrassment in the way of his return tb respectability and to peace. , . • " . , To tlie ' publicjiMge, then, as friends of temperance, we will adhere, as the only guaranty of our, future To him who never ,drank, it his harmless; to the re formation of (he inebriate anil the temperate drinker, it is iridispcnsable; and to the young, without this, there is no-security. Gleaseh. . Teh. 1, 1841. :■ . ■: €ol. Johnson aiul the Bankrupt Bill. BAN Kli V P T I. A. TP. A great manyTetters have been addressed to the-Vice,President, asking bis views upon the absorbing subject of Die bankrupt" bill, now,pending before Congress. [ As; it isjir-. convenient lor him to answer, at lcH"-lh, all -bis correspondents, he has furnished The fol lowing reply to one of,the letters 1 addressed to him, that by its, publication, all may at (mccj bo apprised of his opinion.—[Globe. ; '.CiTir of Washington, Jan. .18, rati. - - -Deau Sir: Your fav'or has-been received' inquiring of mo whether lain in favor of a: general bankrupt law. On this, as nn-otber subjects of national policy, 1 am flee to-iixV -VrsasAfty .scntiraents.i_\Vhide itjsjmegasari ,sur .the general pi'osperitj (hat ,each State ihoiild regulate its own,.affairs, so iar asweV gartis . its own local policy and (he special interests df itscitizeiis,,there arc matters in t\ie t , ; reTatloils arc' so intenwoven, Jihd .thfeiiv. lnterests so identified, that a bhifiifnr system is Waehtiat to thcic imfnriinious' ac tum and welfare. [ln flic formation of our) Federal Constitution; it was intended [ithaf these points’; should • be'specifibd, ; tli4'f thiilr regulations conhdfed. td the Go verh-i ment. Among; these is the subject- of bank ruptcy. In’tlie first article, eighth section, fourth clause, of the Constitution, it provides that Congrc'ss shall have power -to establish a uniform ruleof naturalization, and idhifurtn laws on the subjects of bankruptcies, through? out the United States, It was seen by the framers'of that instrument, that (he relations between the citizens of different States, pnd especially between the trading communities of the different; towns and cities; would ren der a uniform system of bankruptcy highly important to their interests. ■ln this grant of power, the patriarchs of our independence evidently considered (he charge ol a sacred duty; anti it is difficult for me to assign any good cause why, (his provision has,not been carried into'effect; unlcss.it lias been pier vented; by' clashing sentiments :upon its de tails, as it cannot be controverted by.any that bankrupts, imqicent unfortunate,bank- haveal ways existed, upon jv.hiclrsuch. a law would operate; and in my opinion, the law should be permanent, and nut temporary. We are a commercial, an agricultural, and a manufacturing- nation, extending from the cold regions of the North to the Capes of' Florida, nearing the torrid zone, and from the Atlantic ocean to the sources of the wa ters ol the Pacific. Through (his vast do-: main; and with their various pursuits, bank ruptcies must always exist; and it is the duty of the Government toj make suclf provision as.will be calculated logive the greatcstpds sible relief (hat can be given consistently with the, principles of justice. Congress al.une has (ho power to do this, and on (hem the work devolves, not. only asa constitir tutional right but.as a solemn duly. Both in private and public life I have ever regard ed it as a paramount duty tu relieve the dis tressed from every burden; as faras possible, and especially to break-that yoke by which none can be benefited, and to soothe, rather than break, (he heart already runt with the anguish of misfortune. ■ ~' . it is repugnant to every principle of jus tice to regard bankruptcy as a 1 presumption of guilt. In the fluctuations of trade, tlni must honorable men arc often its'victims; and. to hold the person of Hie debtor Subject to his creditor, and to but- his future liberty or acquisitions beyond his awn control, when, he has surrendered all, is. to inflict a punish ment where' there is no crime, nor criminal tribunal to investigate a crime, or to prescribe its punishment. ought not in any degree to depend upon a' contingent .right .which .the creditor.. may claim on the liberty or the future indepen dence of the debtor. If he chance (p bc'un-. successful, all that they can claim is a faith-, lu I, surrender of his remaining .effects,....Let;' him give, these and begin the world again,—J t W hat is the .effect.of subjecting his future acquisition to the'seizure of bis creditors? It is to- slille in him all spirit of enterprise, and.to bind hint"and his family down to per petuate poverty, without (lie remotest pros-' pcct gl benefit,to. his creditors or to society. A punishment like this; without a conviction of guilt is too revolting to my feelings to give, it my sanction; audit never ought to exist iii a free or civilized country. It is said that dishonest persons wil (sometimes avail themselves of the benefit of a bankrupt law. So unfaithful men may sometimes be elected to legislative bodies, and crimes may sometimes be perpetrated under the cloak,of religion. But I would not refuse relief to the unfortunate, nor destroy legislative bodies, lior strive to abolish Christian church es, on account of abuses to winch they are all subjects, for the same principle is equally applicable to all. This power in the Constitution is joined with that ofnaturalization, and with the same, ,benevolent object. Upon that of naturaliza tion; Congress' has acted, and, in so doing, ■has provided for-the all nations, m this land of refuge, the blessings of liberty and safety, .the protection uf our laws; and it was justly expected that a bankrupt law Would also be-passed,'extending protection from oppression to tlie-unfortunate of- orr own citizens, anil to those of all other na tions who might choose to come and reside among us. Tins I wish to see done, M,y opinion is that it will redound to the honor of our country. It will relieve the bank.,-; rupt, and, by leaving him unshackled in his enterprise, he will often accumulate file means both of providing for himself and of liquidating his debts, which honest men fre quently do under the influence of moral ob ligations. , . ' llie interest of the debtor, the interest of the creditor, the interesfof society, and,the glory of our country, all conspire to sanction. measure. The object of Government pught always to be the mitigation of human misery, and the advancement of human hap piness, as far as possible. ’lf I can light up the smilc'of gladness., even in one solitary bosom, where the tear of sorrow was flowing, I enjoy in the act a gratification which rov feeble language cannot describe. With these sentiments, 1 have ever he£il the advocate for relief to.thc war-worn soldier, and ,to the widows and orphans of those who suffered, or perished in their country’s defence; and wilh the views which I have expressed upon the shbject, ■ 1 have exerted . all my. feeble pqwers in favor pfithc abolition bfimprisim ment for debt. iAVhenl am" satisfied (hat tlie objec t of a conslitutional ,measure is good, . caM Moyer abandon it on account of diflicul* ties which present themselves in making it -perfect in all Its details/-[ may be urged with eqUalplausibiJity against tree government; against universal. sduVngc; against popular electionsj/and inileed agaiiist all of our institntions.l lt is mit gbod to be’ i hi practicable.[. .Nb man might (u put him self up as a standard to which all may comb; however great be may be, lie will be disap pointed in tlie end, And perhaps ibis- useful ness'ln spnie nieasure losD[,AVeshould J»r*yT ■vid'o J a' 1 uniibrin.system of bankruptcyippbn as libej-al principles as justice wil l 'warrunt; and as expedience shall show its imperfec tions, 'we should give itsuch consideration and amendment as willbcfuund equitable. lishouldexpectilßTpfOVisidn3'ln'beT!jttcn <ledtoalf clissca of citizens' cif every prb -feasi <imJovolub(ary as to inerclia nts, ; and sh.nuld em- Dracc all cußes existinglit the-passage of the laiy, as well as ail which may’bappcnin fu » ** upoll -t subiecK lop y l »?

M..JOHNSON. Dr. Duncan W. Cost Johnspi From the Globe. ' Mr. 81/ur will be kind enough to publisl (he following account of, proceedings iii tin House of Representatives to-day, and o blige - , , .When the Huuse.wcni in Committee of llte Whole, MIv'DtJNCAN rose and asked permission to make a remark or two person al to himself. Leave being-given, he said (hat it was with some astonishment that he had seen a report of some remarks of, the ■member from Maryland, •'{W..C. J.ohnsOnJ in the Intelligencer, denying the chhrgcs that he, Mr. Duncan, had made upon Mr. Johnson on Tuesday last,' I will read, said Mr. D.:thfe report as it is in the Globe, it is as follows: ■ ; ' “When Mr. Duncan had finished his re marks, he read from the Intelligencer the following, as reported In that paper: „ “Mr. W. Or Johnson submitted to-the Chair whether it was in order for an indi vidual to charge Gen. Harrison with cowar dice,; who had himself beep-dlPanded as a coward bn this floor?’? - * - .a' «hk roeß<.rimbive-hßcon>mcnccd J speakihgi''Tlc hud deferred saying any thing on the sub ject until he should finish his remarks, ex pecting that soihc.denial would be made, or tome correction of Ihc repurtordered.- But that not being'done,he denounced its author (pointing' to Mr. Wii, Cost Johnson,) a base liar, a contemptible puppy] ; & scoundrel and an infamous coward. Now; sir, said Mr. D. I beard no part of Ihc matter so re- P9i;tcd,.as applied to myself; and I ask: the chairman, who was nearer to Mr. Johnson, whether or not he heard the member so ex press Ijimsclff , - “The chairman [Mr. Camvbem,] respon ded that he heard no such remark. J “Then, said Mr. D. if said at all-it must have been muttered; and not intended to be. heard, j “Mr. Johnson rose and said ho was cor rectly reported. He had made the remark, and justified it. He read a part of a speech which purported to have been, delivered in support bfUhe' resolution which bad been in troduced to expel Mr. D. for the publication of ceriain lettcrs, posting certain members therein named. Mr. J, made some other re marks in justification. "Mr. Duncan said (hat resolution and-its support, was founded in base cowardice; It was manufactured, as be was informed, and had reason to believe, in a caucus; and the object was to relieve the members posted in the said letters from disgrace, which they had not the courage to relieve -themselves from. When the resolution was introduced it was intimated that the publication of these letters was postponed until after the passage of the law against duelling. . As soon as that intimation was uttered, Mr. D. said he pro nounced the man who imputed such a mo tive to him, a base scoundrel and a liar.— The member from Kentucky, [Mr. Meni fee J intimated the same; lie - , tbo, said My. D. 1 pointed out instantly, and pronounced a contemptible scoundrel, and told him that the duelling law only operated, over fen miles square; and in ten or twelve short days we would be out of these ten miles square-,-and any gentleman who felt himself aggrieved, might call on hjm: he should be met, and have, such' redress as he might have the courage to ask. Mr. D. ,disclaimed ha ving charged Gen. Harrison with cowardice, in any remark he made; he had presented no fact or statement but what the political history.of the country and of the last-war warranted atid sustained. Those who heard him, ami those whomiight lead him, could draw their own conclusions. And to con clude, once for all, said Mr. D. I repeat and fix upon the member [Mr. Johnsonl die charge! raade upon hmi. He is Welcome to make the best of it.” , - ‘ , The member from. Maryland denies that the words in italic were'uttered by, me. I say they Were as reported. Word for word, and directed in the member’s face, hot in a cowardly mutter; but in peals that filled this hall tp „its remotest corners. AndT now endorse the'above report, and reitefate what I then'said, and pronounce the member how, as I did then, andas I cah do at, any; tiipe or placc.p base liar, a contemptible puppy, a scoundrel, hind ah infambus coward, I hope I inn now liehrd, and I anTprepared to prove that 1 so Mehbunced' tho. member bn last Tuesday; aS now to add that his SDcakihr-and pitiful effort to change the issue, and sTiift'the .'rcsponßibili;, ly, by a con temp tibleyiUibbleanda; barefa ced falsehood,' Sinks.him still lower: in my estimation.
