AMERICAN VOLUNTEER. BY GEO. SANDERSON. Now our flu o', is flung to the wild wind - free. Let it float o’er our father land— And the guard of its spotless fame shall be, Columbia’s chosen band. CARLISLE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY *, !«»!• FOR GOVERNOR IN 1841, n.ti'in it. i* outs:it. Subject la the decision of a Stale Convention THE COUNTY CONVENTION, This body assembled in the Court House on Tuesday last, and'conlalned a full representation Ifrora nearly ev£ry borough and township in the county. It was composed of “good men and true,” who were doubtless selected on account of their •experience and standing in the Democratic party, 'sand whose acts will be whrnily approved of by the people generally. The Delegates selected to the State among the* best men in the county: they are staunch and unflinching republi cans, in whose hands the Interests of the Demo cracy will be safe. The Convention unanimously recommended Gov. Pouter for re-nomination, and instructed tho delegates accordingly. The pro ceedings of tho Convention will be found in anoth er column, to which we invite public attention. Hon. James Buchavan.— This gentleman is earning for himself an* enviable distinction in the - U. S. Senate,, by his efforts in favor of the poor settlers of the west—the real Log Cabin men—and his reply to, Messrs., Clay-and-Criitenden, an ab ■ jstract of ;wh|eh in A tefpiece of’argumentative eloquence. <Mr/0. is emphatically the poor man’s and heuill be sustained by that class of the community, notwith standing tbo vile abuse and infamous misrepresen titionsof John Davis and'his federal associates during the late Presidential campaign.' Wo are proud of James JBuchanan— and we are .gratified to find that the County Convention on. Tuesday last paid such a high compliment to .his talents and services. Their notice of.him in con . ticxion with the Presidential canvass of 1844, will . be warmly responded to by the people, and we, doubt not,with such a candidate to offer, (lie claims of Pennsylvania will no longer be disregarded. Kn.irSE of the Moon.— -The New York Even ing, Post, has the following in reference to the eclipse or to-morrow evening:—*There will be an eclipse of the~moon, visible in all parts of the U, -States,.. It.wiU commence at nine minutes past 7 o’clock and continue for three hours ami thirty liiti.utes. Total darkness will begin at six min utes after eight o’clock, and cease at the end of one hour and thirty-six minutes. The first appearance of this eclipse, as we are told by the astronomers, was about tho 20th of June 1498. It lias since then occurred periodr. cally, at the end of every nineteen years, and on the sth in-tant will have made its nineteenth periodical return. It will nest he seen on the 17lh February, 1859, in the morning, after which, the wibon passing through the earth’s shadow,-at each return a little more to the south, the eclipse will disappear in the year 2219.' In about twelve thou jsmd two hundred and fifty seven years after that it will again moke, its appearance. Thq.present eclipse will bo.visihle in all parts of the United States, In Canada, the-greater part of Mexico, the whole, o.f South America, all over the Atlantic Ocean, the whole of Europe, aqil as fir east iirAsia, as the meridian The rnbop will set totally eclipsed at Constantinople, at Moscow, and in'the countries adjacent to the Caspian sea; and will rise totally eclipsed at As toria and other places near the mouth of the Co- Eumbia river, in Oregon lerritoiy.” EARTHQUAKE.—The New York Evening JPost states that about half past, five o’clock on Monday morning the 35th ult„ the shock of an «uthquake,,as it was supposed to be, was felt in different parts of that city ahd its-vieinity. It was accompanied by a-rumbling sound, and.continued for some minutes. A person' residing in the third avenue, in the upper partof llio city, describes the motion as so violent, that lib bouse trembled and the windows rattled, as though a-heavy piece of ordnance had been discharged at no great distance. Other persons stato thatthoy felt the quaking very sensibly; and 6nb’ma,n from Staten Island, says that there the , motion resembled the jar produced hy a heavy wagon passing in the street.. The New York Sun, in speaking of .thc.Bame subject, says: ■ . /“We learn that the interior of New Jersey, and Long Island, were greatly’ agitatcd'by the shock. From Flushing, we hear particularly, that the commotion of the houses,' windows, &c, was very alarming. The hoise occasioned by it in this city appeared like the distant rumbling of thousands of carts over pur pavements, andinduced many-from whose chambers the light-'was-excluded, to im agine they had overslept themselves; and that the streets were alive with morning! vehicles. U seems to have been heard simultaneously in every part of the city'. ■ Near the, Columbia College, the noise resembled the rolling of a heavy laden Penn sylvania wagon.' In Hudson street, near St. John’s .Park, in the - upper,part of Greenwich street, apd in Vandewatpr street,'the sonnd was the same.— 3k house in the last mentioned street shook so as to awdke the inmates,” .- ; ’ , 1 1..,.; Houses; are still / Senalonrt the Pre-etnptionllill, and the House of ' the Treasury;Note Pill.

Harrison; but who after allj may err. V , ? The'following .postscript is appended to tho same letter: ’ , • .* P, S. A letter was received in town to day, from Ex-Governor Ritner, of Pennsylvania, in which that gentleman distinctly avows, that he has never given any mortal man any reason to suppose that he was opposed to the translation of Mr. Thaddeus Stevcns to the office of Post Master General. I saw this letter. Mr. C. B. Penrose, of Pennsylva nia, is struggling very hard to supplant Mri Ste vens; but,-it is utterly impossible (or him to suc ceed. Unless Mr, Stevens be appointed Post Master General, it is said by those whokhow, that Pennsylvania will not support Mr. Harrison’s ad ministration. . More of the Fruits.— Federalism and amalga mation go hand in hand. A report has recently been made in the Massachusetts legislature, in fa vor of the abolishment of all /airs which forbid Ike marriage of whiles and blacks! In our own legis- as will bo observed by our Harrisburg cor respondent, th£ leaders of this same party arc opposed to a bill which goes to forbid such mar. jiages. j A Colloquy. p#*#### t the DiC******, and E***»*. A LOG CABIN SCENE. Mr, p***.***, n/onr.—“Farewell, a long fare well to all my anticipated greatness!” 1 had fondly expected that after all my toil and exertions to get old Tip nominated, and then elected, I should have been rewarded with a seat in his Gobi, net. ’Tts true, 1 must not charge myself with being actuated r mqtiv^s t vbuyf^nn,o(,rfCC / yfi4/ .cpnirafy -notwithstanding," that'the tears I have jshod and the sleepless nights I have spent, iri be wailing the abominations of Van Duron Locofoco isra, should have merited fox me more favor in the eyes of the “Old IJero,” than I am likely to have. My friends had, selected the IVar J)epartmcni y as the one for which my eminent military services in the Buckshot war- soadmirably qualified- me, now that we< are on die eve of a rupture with Great Britain. This situation f preferred, but would Uave-been-willing to put up .with the General Post- Office, sooner than not get.a Cabinet appointment; —but that Stevens, lias blown away ail my high hopes with his Sirocco breath, and left me here “solitary and alone” to mourn over my falls. But I’ll hd revenged on—, Enter the Bi-C******.— . Why, how now, Mr. P- ! what’s flic mat-, ter, eh! Hasany'ofthc d—d rascally cut-throat Locofoco butchers been threatening you with a coat of tar and feathers, or have they been talking of burning you iri effigy os you (bought (hey in tended doing after the election of 18371 Speak man! Why sit you there so moodily? By the ghost of Peter Parley, if they attempt any thing of the kind against you. I’ll knock every mother’s son of them into a three-cocked hat, or the middle of next year, whichever you choose. They’re a villainous pack'throughout, and not a decent man of us is safe, unless we stand on our reserved rights. _»Ti s not that ails me, friend. I havc.no fears from that source so long as you-per ceive to a window in his rear] there are bark windows in my domicil by which such dan gers as you-speak of may be evaded. No, no!— It is a sickness of the heart that .ails mo, caused by the ingratitude of the very man whom Presetted from danger, when in full retreat from the Capitol he became entangled in a thorn bush % and would have there been overtaken by the Butchers had I not kindly relieved him. This same individual is now trying to supplant me in the affectionsof Gen. Harrison; and 1 fear ho will be but too successful, although the old man promised me when I visited him at North Bend last summer, that I should’ have my heart's desire. Is it Colonel; that 1,-who deserted IheXocofocos at the risk of Imy reputation for political honesty, a virtue to be sure that I never very highly prized, and did more to promote Harrisons election than any man liv ing, should now be cast in the hack ground, and that too by a man who came into the Harrison ranks.at the eleventh hour 7 Bi C******"—To be sure it is! D’ye hear! If that villain Stevens gels into power, it’s all pvet with such apostates from the Locofoco party as, you and 1.. .We’ll have no more chance to cope with' the vile Antim’asons, than a cat would have l to Save her head in a hail storm. But a thought has just struck my mind—how would it do for you and Ito again join tho Democrats? They are a forgiving set of fellows, and perhaps; if. wecould get among them once more, we should soon rise to the.top ofthe heap. What think you-of this pro ject 1 , . ■ ,■ PfAh' mo 1, ,deaf v friend?! hhVo had some thoughts about the fnattcr myself—but I would he afraid to make the attempt; r I am fear ful that I have sinned away my day of grace wi th the Democrats, and that they never would forgive me.- Indeed, so long as that full-blooded Locofoco Sanderson edits the- Volunteer, I would he afraid to make the effort. My persecution, against him was severe, and I am well persuaded that his ha tred of me is, of a piece with my severity, Besides, all the prominent men of that party are bitterly op posed to-.-me,' I deceived .them once, and .they would never trust me again. 1 But, somebody's at the door—We shall have 'further conversation on this subject at another time.- ■ - , Enter “Most nohle, grand, and reverend seignor”— how farcst thou? 1 , P -.—III, very ill, my faithful andaffection-. ate friend.

Mr. Editor Are there not borough authorities to whom is entrusted tho supcrinlendancc of opr public walks? If so, their attention might be well directed to several very unseemly and. highly dangerous excavations in sogie of our most thickly inhabited squares. The payed work is entirely removed for a few feet, so that in this slippery & wet weather pedestrians are exceedingly liable, especially after dark, to go home with a sprained ankle, or a broken bone, or some other disagreea bly accompaniment. These traps are no doubt well known to many of our citizens, and it would not be at all objected to* if they were removed.— Their localities are principally in Main and Hanpr ver streets, Those authorized to remove them, would certainly confer a groat favor upon their townsmen and townswomen by so doing. - . GIVIS. “BRANDRETH’S UNIVERSAL PILLS!” Mr. Printer:—As this is pro hono publico, I guess you won’t charge for it. Will yoili I sec* sir, by the newspapers in every section of this State, that the, above named pills have be come the ultima thule of curative compounds: they are the only universal medicine that cures the only one disease, that flesh is heir to; that is, SICK NESS! These neplus ultra pills'have not been in use more .than a ceni unv; but their virtues have been, like modest merit, only lately discovered! — So ignorant were the people one hundred years ago, that their bigotry and superstition, and - love of quackcrj/, would.not permit them'to swallow any thing in the shape of a dolus, when they could.gct relief by the aid of a lancet, cup, scaiiieication, or\a BLtSTEn. In thoso-days too, there were more complaints than one; , and different remedies were resorted to:—a little slcam of burnt Brandy, a glass of warm toddy, or what tyas called ‘fa local disit" of coffee, were then the. for all sorts ofpains; the cholic,gout, anti even anasarcmis complaints:' Then, the people did not generally live longer than three score and ten years'. Now even, now, the prejudice of some folks prevents the use of UiiANDRETii’s pills, and keeps them busy to prevent the curse of not living half their days at taching itself to them!
