GOVERNOR PORTER.
Since the organization of the government to the
present time, there has not been an Executive in
Pennsylvania who has had one-half the .difficulties
to encounter that have encompassed Gov. Porter
on every hand during the short period of his ad
ministration. This will notbe'denied by any sen
sibleman of any party, who is conversant with the
history of our ,Commonwealth. Coming into
- power at atimowhen an immense debt was crush
ing: with its weight the energies of the people, and
when the State was almost hopelessly bankrupt,
'mainly brought about by the reckless'Oxtravagance

his fellow citizens open him, and (be hopes of bis

with rain and dismay staring him full in the face,

with the wretched insolvency of the Banks, the
depreciation of the State stock in Europe, and the
consequent inability of the government to negoti
ate the necessary 'loans (or flnistiing the public
improvements—with a factious and unprincipled
legislature to thwart him in every step, and throw
unnecessary obstaciesin bis way—with ail these,
and a hundred other difficulties (hat mightbe men
tioned, which-were sufficient to appal the stoniest
heart; and unnerve the strongest arm—Gov. Por

except by the approving voice of the people. No
other tnen, perhaps, would have been equal to the
task,' end hone could have steered the ship of state
_ WonJd.it. be wise—would it be prudent to
change such an able and experienced Chief Mag
istrate as David R. Porter, for one who has noth
ing to rocoipmend him but his approval of the acts
of the Rilner dynasty, and his well known attach
ment to the interests of Thaddeus Stevens and
Thomas H. Burrowcs? Wo cannot think the hon
est farmers and mechanics of Pennsylvania haVe,
any desire to experience the evils of anotherßucit*

Call to mind all you know who’are Merchants,
Traders, Speculators, Stockjobbers, Shavers, or
Rich Grandees, who live upon the interest of
money, whether gained by their own, or their
1 father’s-wits. How many of all these classes are
Whigs? We beg you to lay down our paper, and
think a little while on this subject.
Well, what say you?- You have found but few
Republicans amongst all these wit-living classes!
Now and then you have found a Democrat among
some of them. But how different is ho from the
rest! He pays his debts honestly—he is fair,
candid and above-board in all his dealings—he is
liberal in his sentiments, never disposed to pro
scribe men because they differ with him in opinion.
He is, in short, a good man. Ho does not set his .
heart upon money, false show and parade. With
these good qualities, he cannot help pitying the ■

“all the decency, all the wealthy and all the talents ” '
of the country. ' - ]

Congress will convene in extra session on Mon
day week, immediately after which, if at all, the
good limes promised by Hie Federalists before the
election of Mr. Tyler will take place. The false
hoods and misrepresentations propagated by them
.effected their object, in inducing manjr honest and
unsuspectiHg persons to vole the Harrison ticket,
under the belief that his election would be the
philosopher’s stone to convert all things into gold.’
The people were told over ;ihd ovef again, by the
newspapers and stump orators of Federalism, that'
'Mr. Van Buren had ruined the country that it
was going headlong to destruction, and that he,,
and he alone was the cause of lire depression in'
the markets—and that, without a change of rulers,
certain and inevitable ruin must ensue. These
doleful jeremiads were the constant'theme of every
Hard Cider swiller, hy night and by day, until at

wait until the new adminisiraiion got the feins pf

these blessings, and many more, are promised
from the labors of Congress—and if they are not
realized,; it will not be because the people have
riot been taught to expect them. : We trust,' there
fore, that those especially who were induced to
'vote the Federal ticket through the.above men
tioned promises, will keep an eye to the approach

practice of the new administration corresponds with

Harrisburg Reporter,
HE RECfcNT LEGISLATURE.
AUlibligh'ine federalists dame into the Legis
lature in January last, with the catch-penny words
of
scribed in capitalletters Upon their banners,yet we
believe the journals of ilibir'proceedings (when
printed) will bear us out in the assertion that a
more shameful apd wanton waste of the public
irMsurehaanoyerboen committed by any previous
Legislative body that ever sat in Pennsylvania.—
While they have, talked about “retrenchment,”
they have squandered thousands upon thousands
for the most paltry and frivolous’pretexts. While
“reform” has rung with talismanio grace upon
their lying lips, they have opened new channels of
expenditure never before heard of in the annals of
legislation,' and as useless as can be possibly con
ceived. Their constant and unceasing effort
throughout the entire session has been to induce
the people abroad to believe that they were assidu
ously at, work in SAVING the public money,
while their every act here has been, to put into the
pockets of political favorites and panders.
The investigation (got up by Mr. Ligl.tner) of
the official conduct of the canal commissioners, is
a practical illustration of this fact. When the
journals will be spread before the tax-paying peo
ple, it will be found that this grandiloquent HUM
BUG, got up for the vilest of party purposes, has
cost the State not a cent leas than FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS!! Under the plea of
giving relevant testimony, witnesses were brought
hither from the most' remote sections of the state,
who knew nothing of the matters to be investiga
ted, and enjoyed .a hearty jollification at the public
expense! A Mr. Carr, a resident of Pittsburg,
whohad been a disappointed applicant for one of
tlie eierkebips waa emplbyod to write downlhe
testimony, and received fortius important, duty "the
trifling sum of FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY

dieginningto .(he-end pf_lhe.sesi
siori a system of peculation, extravagance and
FRAUD was practised upon the public, which is
without a parallel in the history of legislation !t—
-/Such have been tlio fruits ofa federal, “reform’”
preaching legislature. It was tho first time for
many years the federal ‘buckshot and ball faction’
bad unlimited ascendency;in those we
trust for the honor and well being of l)ie commu
nity it.may be the last,’ While they have carried
thohonied professions of “reform” upon their lips,
a train of corruption and wilful extravagance has
characterized their practice, which should cause
the heart of every tax-payer in the slate to revolt
with honest indignation yeoman.
OFF WItH THEIR HEADS!
The Inst Herald has the following sweeping re
commendation at the close of a long, lachrymose
article on the subject of removals from office:
“We want to see the administration first prove
the truth of the old adage, that a “new broom
sweeps clean, by sweeping every Loenfoeo from
njjiee, and then, as vacancies afterwards occur, lot
them be filled by men who are honest and capa
ble, without reference to political opinions. In
this way will the “spoils system” be destroyed,
and the government at the same time be enabled to
reform existing abuses. This we believe, ought
to be the policy .of the Administration, and with
this only, trill the democracy [Heaven save the
mark !J of the country be satisfied,”
This we should call guillotinism by wholesale
—making a clean sweep from the Cabinet down
to the humblest laborer engaged in the public ser
vice. Off with their heads, thh rascals; these Lo-'
cdfdcbs ain t fit to live, let alone enjoy office. We
marvel that the writer of the above mentioned ar
ticle, who we strongly suspect has an awful
squinting at the Post Office, did’nt recommend lo
Ihe Government the appointment of an Execution-
• er In ev ®Ty city* town and. .village, J to attend sped
ally to this business of decapitation. How would
the old Bi-Colonel do for this Borough? His fiery
crest and savage disposition,-would; wotliink.pe
(iultafly fit him for an exterminator of Locofocos.
“Go it, ye cripples!”
But, jesting aside; tve lask tiie Herald if this
was the doctrine the Harrison party held out be
fore the election? Did the federal papers proclaim
that “to the victors belong the spoils?” On the
fcontrary; is it not notorious that this Same doctrine
of proscriptioh for opinion’s sake was denounced
by every federal press, and every pot house
tician,andJtard. cider-orator,;from the-commence
ment of Gen.-Jackson’s administration down to the
Presidential election of 1840—and was not this
one of the infamous means madV&se of by them to
overthrow the late administration?. What ctmfix
denqe can the people, can the bone and sinew who
are no office-seekers,'have in the sincerity of those
who so furiously and perseveringly denounced an '
administration, which, compared with the present,
in this respect, is as different as day is from night?
Where Gen. Jackson dr Mr. Van Buren removed
one office-holder, tho jifedfint administration has
removed ten—and yet this is the party, and these
are the men, who were so violent in their denun-
ciations of the system previous to the late election!
Aft e advise the Herald editor to exorcise a little
more of that prince of virtues, patience. Tho sys
tem of decapitation is going on at the rate of about
one hundred per month, and it cannot be very long;
in the order of things, until the guillotine is put at
work in this sectibn.
Whether he will be benefited by the process,
remains to. be Been. .
John banks.
To form a correct estimalionof JOHN BANKS,
the Federal candidate for Governor, we think it
would.be applicable to state that bo was appointed
by RITNEiI to the office of judgeship Which he
now holds; and in reality he was asOpporler of the
notorious JOSEPH BITNER, and approved of
the “81/CKSHOT other, infamous
acts, which were revealed doring-hisadministra
tion. He is one of the person* who were favora
ole “to treat rite election as if it had never been
held.” Can any true.republican support a man
lor the highest and most distinguished office in the
Commonwealth, who encouraged A conspiracy,
which if it had gained the asOcndenCy, would have
cheated them oat of their rights—rights given to
them by their ancestors, who fodght and Mid at

placed JOHN BANKS in nomination, among

BURRO WES and BELA BADGER, all of 1 whom
▼oted for him on the first ballot, Is there any man
so blind to the interest of the State as to support
JOHN BANKS for Goverh'orl' dan they hot
oonpeive, that .he and STEVENS will use all
their influence for the resuscitation of the GET
TYSBURG TAPEWORM, which has already
post tile State MILLIONS? What man who has
the least drop of economy flowing through
his veins,, will support a man for office, who it is'
confidently believed, will approve of a thing
which has for its object only the advancement of
orio man’s interest, and which lias been the con
sumer of MILLIONS of dollars of the State, arid
never will be worth to the Stale half it costs after
its completion —Union Times.
L . ''P'‘ a bad rule, that ilwrt'i ivork both ways''—
If Dorriocrats arc to bo proscribed for interference
in elections, so ought Federalists—and, upon no
account, should active partizan brawlers bo ap
pointed in their place. But this is not the.case:
Itl every instance in which an appointment has
been niadti By ihe present administration, the per
son selected lias been notorious for his active and
violent partizan movements. Look, for example,
at the appointriient of Penrose, and Badger, and
Ritner, and Roberts, arid Ihe whole host of pipe
layera who have been rewdrdfed for their services
since the Fourth of ftfarch. Look ioo at their hy
| poefisy, in discharging Maj. Ramsev from the
Navy, because he attended a few bomocratio
meetings with his political friends dnd acquaint
ances, and retaining Capt. Stockto.v who made
himself so conspicuous by preaching up treason
against the Government to the people of New Jer
sey during the last campaign! This is one, among
the many instances, of the Federal party*'“etrain
ing at a gnat and swallowing a camel," and should
open the eyes of the people to thejiollow-hearted
hypocrisy of those who have so outrageously and
villainously abused their confidence.

Du. Dvott—The Glphehas the following just
remarks in relation to the recent pardon of this in
dividual by Gof. PbnTEn, in all of which every
honett man who is in favor of even-handed justice
must fully concur:
—“Fhis unfortunate maker of shinplnaters was
prosecuted with terrible vengeance by that digni
fied class which has the privilege of a mbnopojy
in this species of fraud, and making it respectable
when conducted upon alarge scale and in fashiona
ble style. He was condemned to a term of'im
prisonment, equivalent, at his age, to imprison
ment for life. Gov. Porter, blending mercy with
justice, has deemed two years’ suffering in con
finement sufficient expiation for the crime of the
poor apothecary banker, while considers
retirement to the grapery and gardens of Andalusia
(_Mr. Biddle s residence] as almost too great a
penance for the millionaire financier, who diddled
or biddled at the rate of a hundred thousand dol
lars, when Dr. Dvott did it for a hundred! Gov.
Porter deserves praise for putting Dr. Dvott'or
a more equal footing wilh his fellows. It is even
handed justice. It is some little’ clemency to him,
and a little punishment to them.”
On. Dvott is now over seventy-years of ago
He was sentenced, if wo mistake not, to three
years imprisonment, and ha(| Served nearly two
at the dale of his pardon.

by flie-most eminent of the faculty—justify Dr.
Benjamin Brandrelh the proprietor of this Vege/a
ble Univertal Medicine, in warmly and conbienti
ously recommending it to the especial notice of
the public.
These Pills do ihde’ed “assist nature” to,all she
fcah do for the purification of the human body; yet
there are numbers whoso cases are so bad, and
whose bodies arc so'much debiliated, that all that
can reasohably be expected, is temporary relief;
nevertheless, some who have comnfenced ’usin<?
these Pills under the most trying circumstances
of bodily application, when almost every- other
remedy had been altogether unavailing, having
been restored tp health and happiness by their use.
Dr. Brandrelh hafe to Return thanks to a enlighten
ed public, for the patronage they haye bestowed
on him; and he hopes, by preparing the medicine
as he has ever done, to fheflt a continuation of
favors.
