DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CAN
DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR,
Djr/D R. JPORTRR.
THE MoLEOD CASE.—By reference to the
opposite page, it will be spen that the Supreme
Court of New York has decided against the re
lease of McLeod, and remanded him back to Lock
—poft-fbr -trial'under-lhe laws:of-tho-State. This.
decision, coming as it does from one of the ablest
Courts in the United States, most effcctnallyjftwra
the BLUE LIGHT Secretary of State,,Mr. Web
ster, and sustains the position taken by the prece
ding administration, and by Mr. Duchanan and.
tlfo other Democratic Senators who took part in
£,.■ the recent discussion of the question. How truck*
« ling and cowardly-must the conduct, of Daniel
Webster now appear in the eyes of the whole A
' morican people! But what bijtlcr could he expec
ted from -the leader of the Peace Party Hartford
Convention man, who, in the dark
est hour of the late war, \\;as found in opposition'
- 10-his and the-British
bj T his votes and speeches in Congress? The post
- or Scorelary should. becn-°aa-r
' should have been efiosen’ to
» csts, rights, hononahd dignity of Uie country; and
President Tyler could not'now perform a more
p jpular act than to ejf'cc/. him forthwith from his
cabinet. Kibis course should, not at once be ta
ken,'the administration must sink under llie load
, of INFAMY which the nWr-American conduct of
of Slate has fastened upon,iU
COMMON SCHOOLS.—Thesemi-'annualcx
nmination and exhibition of the Common Schools
of the Borough, lake place during the next week,
according to the arrangement published hi another
column. It is^,to be hoped that parents and all
persons.iminedi itoly. interested, will endeavor to
* attend, and witness. for themselves.‘tlbi practical
operation of Heretofore, these exa
minations have hot enlisted that general attention
from the citizens their importance dcmands~but
few appearing to care any thing about them. In
deed, in some instances, particularly atthe exam
ination in the Primary Departments, not a single
visiloj has attended. The whole burthen and ro
sponsibility ofthe Schools are thus thrown upon
.«> the Directors, and they are permitted lo perform
'/ all the arduous duties their office, without so
much as a cheering look from those, who are more
interested in the welfare of the Schools,
least, a majority of the Board. Is’this right? Is
it proper! it treating the Directors \v<ith com
mon cqurtesy—or is it calculated lo encourage ihp
children in their studies! Every Sensible person
must answer these interrogatories in the negative.
. We speak now as a member of the Board, and*
on behalf of our colleagues appeal, to ,lhe parents,
guardians, and friends of education generally, in
■ Oils community, and earnestly urge upon'them
the necessity of paying more allehtlonto ibis matA
ter-r-of performing tlielf duty. , The Directors’ 1
give their time and attention They
cheerfully spend day after day with the .SohoVs,-
ahd in business connected therewith, and this, iop,.
not uufrequenlly to the neglect of their othcivbus
iness—is it then asking 100 much of those citizens
interested, to speifd a portion of three or four days
• in a year in these examinations! AVVlhinknot
—and therefore hope the appeal of th,e Committee
■ \vi)l not again be in vain.
, N.B. The Superintendent of Common School^,
Francis >t |l, Shunk, Esq. has promised to be’ pre
sent at the exhibition on Thursday.- It is also
confidently, expected that Gov. Pouter will bo
present tvith him on that day. ’ & v
Buchanan’s speech on the; Bank Bill,
is spoken of by iTie Washington letter writers as
th eablesi delivered in the Senate on that question..
We shall endeavor to lay it before our readers at
an early dayi> * : ,
Plaindbalgr. —The .first number of-this racy
little sheet, edited fiy our friend. Forney of tho
Lancaster Intelligencer, has made its appearance.
It will doubtless, if we are to judge of .the num
ber before us, deal out some plain truths to the
Federalists between this and the election. We
wish the enterprising editor success, r---
' .Mifflin Countv.— The Juniata Spirit of the
Tunes, says:—“We have of late conversed with
many Democrats'from Mifflin county. ‘ They all
agree, that that county will give at least 500 of a
majority raorejfor the Democrats! than it has ever,
given. The principal Harrison men in the coun
ty have come out openly for DAVID - R, POK
* 'i'EK.” ■
B©“The new Postmaster et Bristol, Bucks
• co-V Gl Tomlinson,, is said 1 to bo one of the most
-Violent ABOLITIONISTS inall that region—ami
that he and the notorious Burleigh were drivenj a
short liuio ago, from a school-house ih tliat bor
■t ough, whe& they attempted’ toforce themselves
for the purpose of delivering Abolition lectures!
■ * 8 °nly .carrying, out Mr. Granger’s principles.
■ GAXJ LAW,—The Federalists in Congress
have adopted a rule;'that no member shall be per
mitlod to speak more, than one hour on any one’
- -bill, or resolution pending The intention of this
is;evidently to,prevent the Democratic members
from folly exposing the nefarious schemes and a
bominahle misrepresentations of the present doin
inant party. The few Democrats who speak, at
, all, tell too many plain truths* for those cohsiim
..mate hypocrites-rhenco they find it necessary to
applythe gag to their mouths.; ' /'"V ;
GROANS OF THE BRITONS!
The federal presses evince a lamentable degree
of uneasiness, because the Democratic editors
have as they-say the “temerity" to rake up all the
old sores of Federalism, and hold the past actions
of that party up-to public'reprobation. They
complain in the moat pitiful terms of the mode in
which the Democrats conduct the warfare, and l
would gladly shut eyes, .cars nnd mouths of the
public against all the past damning outrages of
Federalism in Pennsylvania.—'They would, if that
were possible, confine the Democratic,,presses to
answering the ribald abuse of Governor Pobtbb,
and thus leave them no time to “carry the war into
Carthago,” no time to expose to public gaze the
manifold transgressions nnd enormities of their
opponents. They -would keep us and
night, in warding off the blows they inflict upon
us and our candidate, and by this very system de- 1
privo us of the excellent chance of dealing out oc
casional homo-thrusts to them, in parts too that
aro essentially vital.
But this shall not.be done! The enemy “ can't
come it." The democratic editors—not less than'
the great mass of the people, are alive to their own
true interests, and they will never permit a veil to
be thrown over the past moral and political de
linquencies of the men, who are now again,stri
ving to come into power in this Slate under the
banner of Banks! '
Nothing, which either coaxing or menaces can
accomplish, will therefore' have the effect of shut
ting the mouths or the ears of the poopioto the
overwhelming mis-deeds of our enemies, com-,
milled when they were in power.
The People will rcmembeYHdw RitneS, and
Stevens, and Bankls,' with their'affiliated' band
of HARPIES, preyed upon the treasury from.
1835 to 1839, eating out its substance, and plun
dering the hard-working tax-payors of the State
put of MILLIONS of money, wrung from their
pockets in the shape of TAXES !,- - '
They will remember (he MILLIONS squan
dered upon that splendid monument of modern
FOLLY, the serpentine and circuitous tecltys
burg TA PE-VVOil M, a work which has been of
as much use tp our citizens, and tip more, than*
would have.been a rail-road to the deserts of Si
beria;
They will remember the HUNDREDS OF
. .T.HP USAN DS *Ja visli(j (I wit U. a profuse handup-
7 r iSum
ing I’KRJUIiy and consequent DAMNATION
upon their souls. ,
They null rpmembep the vile FRAUDS com
mitted under the ausjiices gf the same men upon
llto elective franchise, in 1339' causing the most
insignificant districts to, give treble the majority
over and above all this voters they con Mined.
. iThey. tyill-Temcmhcf.ahe, treasonable effort of
tlie same men, after they hadi despite all their vil
lainies, sustained defeat,.to “IreaiHte election as
if il never had been held - —yea, the people will no
vor fqfget, unless they have become recreant to c
very impulse of duty, the awful scenes of Decem
ber, 1838, when Ritnkr, ..Stuvkks and - Hanks
marched one thousand ARMED SOLDIJ3RS in
to the capital of the State, to send a volley of
BUCKSHOT and BALLinto the hearts of those
who were determined to stand by the sacred rights'
of the majority, legitimately expressed at the bal
lot-boxes.
The Federal enemy may'xyhinc, and wince, and
groan over the recital of these reminiscences as
much as to them seems fit, but they may rest as
sured, tho people have not yet forgotten them, and
never toil!. They have stamped with everlasting
infamy ihe men xvho concocted tlrem, and word
hold and bad enough to attempt their consumma
tion—and; for these men to attempt to re-gain poxv
er in Pennsylvania under the banner of Banks,
one of their “ ring-leaders ” in 1838, is equally ab
surd, and monstrous.—Y.eoman.
Dr. Wilmam James McNeven, the Irish pat
riot and companion of Emmett, died in New York
on the 12th ins!., in the 791 h year of His age. Ho-
iespected and beloved by all his

. * If we are to judge 0/ public sentiment, as given
through the toasts drank* at the recent celebration
bfjllie anniversary of Independence, throughout
(lip State, no Governor of this Commonwealth ev
»er stood higher in the affeclions.of the people than
Dav^d- If.- Porter. From east to west; —from
diorth to, south—there appears lo be but..one mind 4
on the subject of his re-election. Never were the
democrats of this State better..prqpared to.move
.forward to-the polls in one solid, unbroken phal
anx —and never lias the prospect been more bril
liant \Ve congratulate ohrDemocralic friends
every w’horo on the glorious prospect before us,
. The 1 “Kpjprm” Congress has now’ been more
than seven weeks in session, and, if wo except the
bill.for their own pay. and the gratuity to Mrs. Har
rison, nothinjf under the sun has been done. Not
another bill has yet passed both houses! If this
.is* the kind of reform’ whichthe people of the U
nited States are to have from the present domin
ant party, we think the sooner it is ended the bet
ter. Pour years of such reform will ruin
country'.
Destructive Fire.— The beautiful village of
Waterford, in the State of New York, near the
confluence of the' Hudson and Rfohawk rivers,
ten miles above Albany,.was almost entirely de
stroyed by Are on Sunday the 11th inst, About
SO buildings, including the whole business pari of
the village, were consumed—and the entire loss,
is stated at not less than $150,000. The fire last

|JO“The BUOKSHQT WAR costtbe people
of'Pennsylvania $147,000—-and this large sum
the Federal prints are charging to the expenses of
Gov. Pobter’s administration. • How Supremely
ridiculous! ' .
7 E®“ So:no °r the things in this section, are
beginning to talk seriously of permitting the Gu
bernatorial election to go against them by default.
.They, say, and truly too, that Judge Banks has
no chance of being'elected—ahd if he had, ha’lS
so.completely under, the control of Thaddeiis Ste
vens and! his Jlnti-maionic cUquc, \h?i\. no good
could result from, his. election,.. Under these cir-.
cumstances, they think thatfhSy will; best serve
the interests of the not voting

The Congressional aUitudn of Mr. Clay is that
of a strong man fatally bent upon mischief. After
having had his locks shorn by the prostration of
Mr. Adams in 1828, and remaining feeble and
harmless for twelve years, he has suddenly, by.the
success of federalism at the last election, experi
enced a return of his strength; and he is now, with
the pillars-of the temple in each arm, engaged in
the work of general and indiscriminating destruc
tion. It is no consolation to ns tq know that, while
ruining the country, lie is immolating himself; the
injury he inflicts may extend into several genera
tions, if indeed it do not become incurable and per
manent.. .
Mr; Clay is a statesman, only when subdued.
Give him his' own way, and in the elation of tri
uinph, he at once loses'all prudence, strikes'as
impelled bypassion, and pampers his lust for ven
geance on persons by rlvetling chains upon the
freedom, intelligence, and prosperity of the whole
community. It is not that he over, by reasoning
and observation, becomes solemnly convinced of
the wisdom or expediency of any.system of meas
ures, or ofany particular measure: he bould bod
oquenl against a bank in, 181 l/could. abandon
the tariff in 1833, whenever it
suited his personal views: he has no profound con
victions on any subject, and no insurmountable
principles as to any course': but his taste, his polit
ical taste, is that of a bully who, having got his
adversary down, delights in giving blows which
cannot be repelled. There is in his composition,
at the bottom of many high and remarkable qnali-
I ties, an ignoble sediment which invaribly boils
'.upwards when he is exhilirated by success.
Mr. Clny haß made signally.conspicuous the ut
ter weakness of Mr. Tyler, as n/pcial bead of the
whig party. the autocratic Kentuck
ian, the President could muster but eight true
votes iq the Senate,JnJavor.of that feature in- tho
incorporatiori of a fiscal agent which he specially
desired. He was left in IhV most miseVable mi
nority: and that too, not withstanding the able and
earnest appeals of Mr. Rives, Mr. Choate, and Mr.
Preston. Did the executive chief of a victorious
political party cver~before stand in such a predic
ament !>. The palpable truth is, as we have before
remarked, that Mr. Tyler has the title and the
shadowy secpiing, Mr. CJay yields the pow-

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
The following toasts, handed in at the celebra

By Simon Wunderlich. David Rittenhouse
Porter, our talented nnlTlncicpendent Governor:—
Too virtuous to he seduced by the allurements of
the Banks," He sustains the patriotic principles of
Jackson and Snyder, and.will be triumphantly re
elected by the people.
.By Andrew Roberts. 'Agriculture, Commerce
and Manufactures: They,are the main pillars of
National greatness, and flourish best when free &
unshackled by Shin Plaster Speculators and Bank
Financiers. .
By Charles Ring. Col. Charles McClure:—
The true friend and favorite of the democratic par
ty—his sterling integrity and unwavering princi

Porter and democracy, area sure guarantee of the
his principles.- He richly merits;<the
gratitude and thanks of every true democrat.
By Maj. Jacob Rehrar.,: David R. Porter:—
'The People’s Governor and Poor Man’s' friend;
ever devoting the best energies of his mind to the
advancement of their interests. He is worthy and
deserving, and will be sustained by the free and
unbought voters of the “Keystone State.”
By George Mathews. . David.Rittenhouse Por
ter:—Our faithful and. independent Governor; too
wise and patriotic to be frightened by John Banks’
federal Lcgislutu refills manly firmness will en
sure him the undivided support of the Democracy

A firm and unflinching democratic republican, who

and/support- of our excellent Common School

By, Frederick Calio. McLeod the Murderer,

murderer's reward.

from Clay’s National Bank, the vote stood as fol
lows. All the democratic members, it will be ob
served, voted for the resolution, and all those who

right;” J
Mr,- Sanderson, Commander of thp Brig Volunteer.
Will you lot an old craft come along tide o' you,
to exchange a shot in the jabber way—its a long
time since we had the same pleasure, you know;
and I am almost afraid, that, from the quantity of
sentiment you paraded, as brought forth at the late
celebration, you have ecarcely. a shot in the lather
left! Well, well—you spoke “long and loud”
in /acorofour present Governor, God bless him!
So; you will bo the better prepared to listen to me;
you will! Do you expect that all that wasbaid on
the 4th, Will be taken as public sentiment ? *lf you
do, you will be monstrously mistaken— hat 1 wish
it was. To'me, it sounds too much like idolatry
—like man-jaorship —mke the effusions of expec
tants, hangers-on, and sycophants, who are always
ready, you knew, to sing hosannahs to the'powers
that be! Mind ye, I don’t say it is—l-only say
like! It does not show the free spirit of Liberty
and Independence, that should, on that day, have
a share in the sentiment of. every man.- Actions
speak louder than xoords —and when the time
.comes, I hope all who spoke bn that day, and thou
sands more, may bo as ready to act. The day will
soon come and I trust we may give a good account
of it. - , .
I.was a friend to the election of David R. Por
ter in 1839; and I am now disposed to re-elect
hjm—not so much because I like the man, as the
measures ho would adopt for the welfare and safety
of the Commonwealth. He has been severely tried
in the ordeal of, not only his, but his country’s
enemies; and instead of boing a scaMed, he has been,
if possible, purified ami strengthened,
A few interested individuals, expectants, and
speculating bankrupts,r.keep up a clamor against
bim, for his manly firmness in resisting.their un
holy schemes, as brought forward by a pensioned,
corrupt, and I strongly suspect, drided Legisla
ture: they are, however, but a few, compared with
the bone and sinew of the soil, whose tried and
true friend, David R. Porter has been, and is
—and they know it. Is there any one so simple
as to bclipye tljat.a single one of them would give
him up, that an untried, though, not unknown
BUCKSHOT and BALL hero, whoso very name
is gratlngto their cars, should succeed 4iiml—*Tis
scarcely, among the possibilities, to .suppose such a
thin^!— -What! David R. Porter, the son of a
revolutionary hero, who fought for our freedom*
and liberties, to bo thrown, aside to jhako room*
for a man .who, to say the least, lent his_ counte
nance to destroy both,, in that never-to-be-forgot
tenJriqsqnable attempt, made.by the (hen Governor
■ The People of Pennsylvania.liave notfurgollen
these things—nbr/iave they ~ fvr got to remember ,
that the modern whig party, wiih.but few excep-.
tions,'the off-spring of old Tories, are of the very
clan that applied to tho General Government for a
portion of the regular army of enlisted soldiers, to
be sent to' Pennsylvania, to aAoot them down, be
cause i/iey, would not tamely'submit to them, and
surrender their-dearost right—the only right that
kept them free —the right of suffrage!
Mr. -Sanderson!.. Banks a
man, already high in nulhority^Of’that same party?
Yea, verily! and he is now as high- as heis like
ly to be for sotne time, in an honest way! and al
though all the efforts of his friends —tho enemiei
of tho best interests of the-Commonwealth,, will
"avail film ,twilling” so long as David It* Porter
shall be a candidate for Governor, I do hope,.that
Judge Banks may not, like Haman, of old, be ex
alted, w pon a gallows erected by himself, or by bis
authority—unjustly. On tho contrary, as honest
Pat would say, “Jfy my sowl, but I’d rather see
him hoisted a peg dqwn-ward-— so I would.,
Now, good bye, Mr. 1 Sanderson—and I hope
you’ll not smuggle my long-talk, and keep It all to
yourself; but let'the modern ivhigs KNOW, that,
lam NO LO-CO-FO-CO.
N. B. By the by—lf tho man who, as Presi
dent of the U. States, was proud to bo in leading
strings, anti to “follow in ihefooisleps oi his illus
trious predecess(fr”~ had been as independent, as is
David R. Porter, neither the folks .of Pennsylva
nia, nor mhny other states of the Union, would
haveleft his standard, to rally underthat of Tip
pecanoe, They wanted a President, in reality —a
Commander-in-chief—Rot a secondary-thing, to
follow any dictatorial leader!
Cough and Cold.
These very distressing complaints often lead in
to CONSUMPTION through neglect at the first
attack. I would therefore advise those whose
cough begins to become troublesome, and the Ex
pectoration scanly f -wilh iriore or less soreness of
the" throat, difficult raising of phlegm, &c. that
they should immediately apply for a suitable med
icine, which is Dr. DUNCAN’S EXPECTO

medicine I have found in every instance to remove
those unpleasantannoyanc.es in a few days. ONE
