Stationed by command of (he assembled de mocracy of the state, ns it were, at the cita del of operations, we desiriTto exchange sig nals with our democratic eolaborers through out the state, and will also ever esteem it as among our first duties, to detect and expose (he despicable manoeuvres of the enemy.— We have the.more encouragement to do so, as experience has abundantly demonstrated, that It is only when TRUTH is temporari ly overshadowed by. when Justice and Reason yield their empire to prejudice and delusion, that the cause of federalism has been ever'khown (,o flourish. To dispel the mists of darkness, and let the rays Of RIGHT penetrate every habitation in the slate; should therefore be relied upon by the democratic party as the only certain means of securing the ultimate arcendancy of its principles. The friends of David R, I’oKTF.n seek for no concealment in the dis cussion of hisiQctions. They are but anx ious that “the truth and the whole Cruth ,, should be heard, and • when that, has gone forth, have no apprehensions of the result.. In our former address, we adverted at length to the stormy conflict, which brought our present candidate, David R. Porter,in to office. We brought to view the reckless RllilißS, scattered so profusely, ever t,he slate.in 18S8, and seemingly attested by the yilest instruments that the haunts of imfanjy and vice could furnish. We referred - briefly to the MILLIONS of public money, pour ed, out like water by the Ritncr administra tion upon its sycophantic favorites, and the whole-sale frauds upon the elective fran chise, committed under the.aospices of Ste vens & Ce. to retain their accidental ascen-’ dancy.. We exposed, also, the .darjpgand treasonable efforts, .same partjr, after all^tl^eir,corrupt plans' had been .frustrated by the, people, to tlie 'election, as if it had never been heli(,” arid.the warlike, pre parations by which; this- startling .intention was sought to :be consummated.

It will be found, that in all (lie bills (bus vetoed were either piireIy.PO UTICAL in their tendency, designed to secure ’undue advantage? to the federal par ity, or else! iso manifestly obnoxious in all their prominent provisions, as utterly to preclude the. pbssibil(fy of (heir ever receiv ing the Executive sanction. It will be found, also, that in* many instances, after such obnoxious bills had been *thus vetoed, the federal majorities in the legislature im mediately re-introduced re-passed the same'bills, sometimes making , a trivial al teration, but uniformly rendering them more odious than they had. been before. They thussenlKAe same bills once, twice, and TJIRICE into the Executive chamber, knowing before-hand that they would be ve toed as often as sent, but passing them pur posely that they might be vetoed, and that they inight then have a pretext for that sys tem of denunciation which, they are now pursuing. No such “ weak inventions of the enemy ” could,, however; deter David*'R., Porter from doing his duty fearlessly to the people, alid .hc accordingly never hesitated’ to resist every encroachment on the public interests: that- they might make. Well would it have been* for the interest? of the state, if other Executives, who ■ have prece ded him, had possessed the same Roman firmness'in interposing their constitutional VETO to schemes for squandering upon, useless projects the mopey of the.people!—- 'Then',' instead . of.-being- burthened with - a mountain load of debt, incurred in the coh structiohof-unprofitable improvements, .we would in all human-probability have but the main lines of canal and those productive. — Wb'say, well would it have been for our ySotrot%wbl:eu Inb"re 1 reqn enl ly 'exercised by our. previous. Executives, and injerposed'a's'a,barrier tb (he wasteful extravaganeevof ourpast degislatofs! ' : • We vvill first coivsider the so-called CANAL COMMISSIONER’S BILL. Among (he first bills vetoed by the Jix lecutive was one, entitled "an net relating ip Canal Commissioners,l* the entire and I sole object of which was to legislate the' pre !"sent democratic board ont, and a federal board in. It provided Tor the; election of one of tjioso incumbents by the Seriate, an other by .’the' House of Representatives, leav ing but one in flic lands of the Executive. As the federalists, it will be remembered, had a majority, in both branches, this mode of filling the canal board would-of course have secured to that party the control of our entire internal improvement system. Whence (he necessity for this "changc? ,, Many of the federal members admitted in debate (he talents, experience, and integrity of (he gentlemen composing (he present board, and indeed one of the federal senators, (Mr! Sullivan of Butler,) pronounced in his place an eulogy npoii their character as strong ns their most enthusiastic admirers could have wished. The true,object had in view, in attempting their removal, must therefore have been a different one than to displace unworthy incumbents. It required no ex traordinary sagacity to perceive the motive. It was neither ihoT'e nor less than to use the improvements, as (hey had been used under the Ritner and Stevens reign in 1838, as a means of IMPORTING - foreign voters into the state, on the eve of the election, (or the purpose of overpowering the suffrages of our ■own resident, qualified voters. Had 'Gov ernor Porter sanctioned ' (his bill, and our improvements in consequence gone into the hands of unscrupulous federalists who Tt waS designed should succeed the present hoard, doe*? liny rational liitth doubt, but that a repetition of the.i.riiamuug frauds of 1838, would have also disgraced (he - annals of 1841? Dods it argue a want of Christian charity, to-believc, that, bad (he attempts o the federal members succeeded, our cam paigh tjpxt full 'would have exhibited a Ties’ll array of ■Rlillerstown, Toungwonmnstown, Mbi-ris- township,' Halifax, iind Tunkhiin iidclt 'districts? 1 'Docs nbt’ the piist history of that party justify the 'presumption; th&t 'd federal board of canal ciifniriissiotfers,' icOn tfnlled perhapS;by the: Same men tlfat sway ed ils'deliheratibHß'ih 1838, would have u^- ■ sgd all their officiahihfluence to resuscitate ! the famous GETTYSBURG TAPEWORM that has already consumed millions ! of* the people’s uioney, and which was 1 p'rovidentii ally arrested 1 by the election'of Governor porter?

Let us now consider what is familiarly known as the , . LANCASTER MAYOR'S COURT BILL. . This question,,although a mere ldeal doe, and whose'merits those immediately inter ested can-perhaps best understand, has also been made thd subject of-bitter invective-a-- gainst the Executive, by federal partizans and presses. Its history is briefly as fol lows: : • Since the year 1818 there has existed in he city of Lancaster a judicial tribunal known ns the “Mayor's -Court." At the period of-its-institutiori,~(he~population- of the city waS barely 5,500, anil yet it was deemed indispen'sable to die intcrnaf regu lation of the city at that early day. For some cause or another, most probably however from political bias against the gen tleman presiding bver it, a small portion of netent influence with the Icgislaturc'tb cf-| feet .(he^dssagi^pf ■. ■•-■in'.faVoF fio*?.' ever, the resolutions of the select and com mon councils of the city, passed the 13th of February last, and the voice of the people themselves, expressed in meeting.—- They all Concurred- in representing this court as an indispensable,branch of their ini ternal police, and cerlaiidy they;were the most competent judges.- In accordance with, their wishes,, thus legitimately expressed, die'Governor vetoed the, bilj -providing for its abolishment, a determination in which lie was no doubt considerably strengthened by the fact, that the federalists in the house, : by a party had-i defeated a proposition to -submit the question to a'vote of the people of the city!. 1 And yet, would it be believed, that after the Executive had thus vetoed the bill, -the federal majority soon-after re-enacted it, in [ the face of the wishes of those immediately interested, and in the face of common, pro priety. They, however, added a proviso, thaj the question of the continuance of the court be referred also to the people of the county of Lancaster, although it constitutes part of the internal police of,(he city. This, as a matter of course rendered the bill more obnoxious than it had been before, and the Executive Very properly interposed his veto again. We'ask, was lie not right in so doing?*— The people of the city of Lancaster, who were the only persons infcrested, are satis fied with flip vetoes, nay gratified, and whose business is if {o complain? We proceed to tlie consideration of his several vetlics of the bills relating to,the '' It will be remembered, (hat in the fall of 1838 tile then Executive, Joseph Ritnek, borrowed from the Harrisburg Bank (he lium nf $50,p00 arid from the United Statesßank the further sum of $271,00(1 for' the alleged purpose of repairing a breach in the Junihta canid, betwceri Huntingdon arid HnUidiys> burg. It was borrowed, WITHOUT THE SHADOW OF AUTHORITY BY LAW,, apd disbursed .in a mariner unprecedented in .(he history o’fthW; arid,, we hope of every other State. NOT A SINGLE DOLLAR of it Was ever entered,>tlPON THE BOOKS OF THE TREASURY!!-^ .The rearibris fur ’sri cli ■ a'rioVel", ’• itrijiis tifiable arid illcgiß course of coriducti'have, sltfce been rendered painfully obvious.

The following remarks, which wo feftpjr from one of our exchanges, are so correct in point of fact, and.exprcss our own’feelingi end,opinions in such,forcible'and appro'pri* ate language, that wte cannot forego tjic op portunity of'presenting them to our-readers. If any class of citizens canciaim equality with the yeomanry Of tliis country, the cul\ tivators of the soil, it is l the hard-fisted and industrious mechanics.- 1 Long" have -they been looked upon as inferiors-and of whom?, of the virtuous,'good, and the great? No: but of the self-willed, the haughty, the irresponsible, the Speculators, the shavers, the idlers, the 'rebellious,' the swindlers, the lovers, of pleasure more thaii the lovers of God, with which the land is in fested. • ' Among a certnimclass, the name of a mechanic is. often; viewed with reproach,' and it is considered disrcputableaml conde scending to .walk tlio.strcetsor- be-fmind.in converse \vith_a plain nnd ' honest-shop |a borer>' Are they a mere dreg ili the com* mumty, and not fit, associates for the.V.ery cream of the best society? It has been said in days long-gone by,AbaE “An honest man’s the noblest workof God.” I ■WSMfe'S^ob^.-wntimerit-he<tQimcs:;tpte3ntl r rs &^(^fevtfieurajta«igs-ofthose-whbvWfab'liV---' thnt min should gainJiis. living; by (he “sweat ot his brow.” From the odium that is wont to be cast, we, are constrained to ask, who are these “homespun” sturdy mechanics, (hat are not .equal to nature’s noblemen? They are the inventors, and .makers of all the world’s uscablcs.. They are the individuals that make, our houses, our furniture. Our fixtures, and our garrnentsj' are they not great indeed? . To them we are indebted for every'convenience, and almost every luxury of life* and if farmers can, with propriety, • be styled the back-bone of society, mechan ics should at least, claim to be the pillars and supports of the fabric. - Thousands of examples are, faithfully re corded in the world’s history mf men ■ who have distinguished themselves for their knowledge and usefulness that have guided the plane, driven the shoemaker’s awl,'and indeed followed every working pursuit, by which man has been abfe to procure an hon est living. We hope to see the time come when mechanics wdl be esteemed, by the most intelligent, as ranking high among use ful and respected citizens of the land,Let the young be educated and trained for some mechanical avocation, instead'of the most useless and emply.professions, and their Sta tion will soon become.enviable and respec table.
