MR.'BUCHANAN’S SPEECH.
* We commence this week the great speech <3c
.^.._^iAr«rod-)^the^rH«nv-JameB--Booh'anarir'ft^<TP
B'tioirto the National Bank attempted to bVes
tnblisiied by Clay,' Ejvihg and Co. Its extreme
length compels US', though much against our will,
divide it; but we could not do otherwise with-
the whole, .
We need scarcely mvite'lho attention of the
public to this splendid production, as it will no
dmiht be read with avidity by, every individual ih
whose bands it may he placed, bo he friend or foe,.
The importance of Mr. B*s arguments will.he the
more apparent, when it is considered that, in all
probability, they will form a text-book for the De
•. mocracy in their future efforts to prostrate the
•‘Monster,” for we are inclined to the opinion,-that
the Bank in question will be established against
all the efforts that have been made to defeat it.*—
It will then remain for the Democrats to urge its
repeal on high constitutional grounds—and to aid
, them in their efforts, this speech of our distin
guished Senator, will. be found of invaluable ser
vice. We copy the following notice of it from
the Pennsylvanian, upon publishing it in that
paper:
Mr. Buchanan's Speech. —We have given up a
considerable portion of onr columns to-day to the
admirable opening speech of Hr. Buchanan on
Mr. Clay's Bank bill. It will well repay an at
tentive perusal. Mr, Buchanan goes over the
whole of the arguments of,Mr, Clay in favor of
the establishment of the’Bank, and we think that
no candid man will rise from the perusal of the
speech without a conviction that all of them have
been refuted, and that there is really no reasonable
pretence of a necessity for stick an institution,
Mr. Buchanan is reckoned among the most
skilful, accomplished and gentlemanly debaters,
in a body which at the present thomeritrembraces
quite an unusual amount of talent.
Tile publication of the speech in the Globe has
been delayed by other weighty matters. That
paper, however, says inlaying it before its readers:
“Mr. Buchanan’s speech could not, however,
appear at a belter lime. The Bank bill, aa it has
merged from the committee of the whole in the
Senate, is obnoxious to all the animadversions, of
this speech, made before, it was subjected to.the
process of amendment. There has been no amend-
mentTnadu~wliiclraners in any degree the mon
strous features of the measure, as depicted in Mr.
Buchanan’s opening exposition. We hope tjio
Democratic journals, will universally give this
speech an insertion ih their columns. It is an apt
. preface to the editorial labors'lo which! we .appre
:V hem], they will have to address themselves during
- the next four years.” ' ,d
THE COUNTY MEETING.
We again urge upon our Democratic friends
f_. throughout the county, the propriety of-allending
. the meeting at the Court House, on Mondaycven
ing next. The call is obedience 'to the
time-honored usages' of the party, and we trust
that none will absentrtheipselves' who "cari^if
they choose, bo in attendance. The time for; ac
tion has arrived, and it behooves every true-heart
ed Democrat W be up and doing. , Although our
enemies'appear lukewarm and inactive, .they are
not to he trusted. They may yet rouse from their
apparent lethargy, and steal a march upon us if
we are not active and vigilant* We have a great
■ battle before ns, and it'becomes every man to
hackle bh his armour at once and prepare for, the
conflict.' Fofthe purpose of complete atid thorough
organization, the annnaVcounty meeting has here
tofore been of much' importapce. ond it is to tbis
assemblage of the people that we look fora strong
effusion of the spirit arid zeal with which our po
- Utica!, conflicts are characterized. With 'these
, . few remarks we close by again urging our friends
to be at the county meeting on Monday night.

COMMON SCHOOLS OF
CARLISLE.
The Examination of the Schools of this Borough
came off on Monday,'Tuesday, Wednesday and
Tmirsday of last week, and was, as we have reason
to Believe, gratifying in the extreme to the numer
ous visitors who attended. 'Whatever reason the
Directors have heretofore had to complain of the
little interest manifested by the citizens generally'
in tho success of the schools, they can have now
none. Indeed, we believe, that hereafter these
examinations, from their interesting character,
will attract more and more of public attention, and,
instead of now and then a solitary visiter or two,
our, school rooms will be crowded with a numer
ous auditory of citizens of all classes and con
ditions in life.
, The visitors presept at the examinations in the
different departments, Bum the lowest grade up to
the High 6choqls, expressed the greatest gratifi
cation at tho proficiency of the scholars in their
several studies, as well as at the discipline of the
schools. Indeed, we have since heard it remarked
by two or three of the visitors, themselves gradu
ates of Colleges, that in some of the studies, such
as Algebra and Natural Philosophy; the pupils of
our High Schools excel the generality of students
in the Sophomore and Junior classes of the best
conducted Colleges.
The Exhibition, on Thursday'evening was an
imposing affair. The splendid appearance of the
Saloon, (it having been decorated purposely for
the occasion by the Female' Teachers,' Scholars
and Directors,) —the rich music ofJho Barracks
Band—theadmirable Declamation of the boys of
tho High School,—and their examination in Physi
cal Geography—the presence of the Secretary of
the Commonwealth, Air. Skunk—and the im
mense crowd of Ladies and Gentlemen in atten
dance—all combined to make it one of the most
interesting-spectacles that has over been witnessed
by bur citizens. Truly it was a scene worthy the
occasion, and one which w|)l long be remembered
by those who witnessed It. /
At tho conclusion of,the ex'ercisos on Thursday
evening; the Prcsident'of the Board of Directors
dismissed, the Schools until thei 3(Hh of August. „
Visitors.have drafted 'a Jleport on the
state' of the Schools,- which we shall publish next
week.
OUR PROSPECTS. * ,
’ The friends of Gov. fPoia'En are moving with
spirit in the different coutmeAof the Stajpsp- County
.ani.-tawriship.oncetinj!{s^are:bcingheliJ f:t;sn(t4lio
poople’every where Are organizing praparatoiy-fpt,
the Octoher.cleclion. In Philadelphia city and
county, it is stated;by those whose opportunities
of knowing public sentiment are undoubted, that
the Democratic majority will be increased to at
least 3,ooo—indeed, som6 are calculating with a
certainty that even in the city, which -for many
years lias been tinder Federal, control. Gov. Por
ter will have a handsome majority. In the strong
Democratic counties of the North and West, it is
believed there will he scarcely any opposition—
whilst in Allegheny, Somcrect,-Erie,andother
heretofore strong holds of Federalism, their ma
jorities will he , reduced to a mere trifle. In the
Middle and Eastern counties, the glorious cause
of the people is moving along steadily and surely,
and the name of John Banks is hardly mentioned
in connexion with the Executive chair. Indeed,
from present appearances, wo can liardly suppose
there is a doubt on tiio mind of intelligent
person, as to the favorable issue of the campaign.
The Anlimaaonsand Federalists are chop-fallen
and disheartened. They see clearly that the
honest and - well-meaning jorllbn of the communi
ty cannot again be deceived, as many of them,
were last year. They kriow that Log Cabins,
Hard Cider, Coon Skins, Shin-bones, and all the
disgusting paraphernalia of Humbiiggery, have
had their day, and are now numbered among the
things that were. The knowledge of these facts
is what causes despair lo brood over the minds of
our opponents—and these, in connexion with the
broils, and squabbles, and cut-throat animosities,
in their ranks, about the spoils of office, are what
places the.election of John Banks out of the ques
tion. Besides, the two factions of Federalism
and Antimasonry .are jealous of each other, and it
is scarcely probable that they can again act in
concert, ,In addition to these two factions, there
is a third in this county, the most unprincipled
and contemptible'of the three, composed of rene
gade Democrats, “men of principle in’proportion
to their interest,” who are always in the market,
ready to embark in any cause by which they can
hope to monopolize the best share of the plunder,, 1
This miserable clique followed the fortunes of
Penrose as long as he had any thing in bis power:
They were for Harrison and Tyler in the hope of
getting "the management of post offices and elerie
ships—and, as they have been disappplnlcd, they
are ripe for revenge, And are now ready for any
thing that presents itself’to their unprincipled
minds. All these things taken into view most
(convince every one that Governor Porter's tri
umphant re-election is placed beyond a doubt.
■ Let our friends in Cumberland county take fresh
courage at these things., Dot union and .harmony
be the watch-word of every true-hearted Democrat.
Exert all your energies from now to the election.
Organize at once in.eyery township and borough
—appoint committees of vigilance. Talk with
your neighbors—reason with them-i-urgO them .to
their, duty. Extend the hand of fellowship to the
holiest and sincere of the.other parly, who are dis-
Eatisfled.wilh .Federalism,, and are pleased at the
course’ pursued by-. Governor Porter. Do your
duty nobly and zealously,gand we,-have not ,a
doubt that old mother Cumberland will abundant

you give up the effort to fasten soph an institution

TUB IRON GREY CLUB, No. I.
This Association; made bp of the former mem
bers of the Tippecanoe Club, of Harrisburg, have
frequently tho most immense and spirited meetings.
The. proceedings are distinguished by unusual
zeal. From the resolutions passed at the last
meeting, wo extract the following highly oppor
tune ones: , ‘ I ■
Resolved. That the base, truckling and inglori
ous subserviency of the Federal Secretary of State,
DANIEL WEBSTER, to the menacing demands
of the British minister in the case of the British
murderer and incendiary, McLeod, have had a ten
dency to soil and tarnish the hitherto unsullied
escutcheon of'America, and that every considera
tion of duty and patriotism should prompt Presi
dent Tyler forthwith to remove the TRAITOR
from a post, which he fills only to the utter DIS
GRACE of the country. .
1 Resolved, That we—the members of the former
Hickory clubs and lately of -the Tippecanoe'clnb
No. I,' regret with heart-felt sincerity tho absence
of a JACKSON or a HARRISON from the pub
lic councils, ejther pf/whom, we are satisfied,
would have sent both the menacing British minu
ter and the frightened British secretary unceremo
niously to their homes, to ponder over their mis
conduct at leisure.
. Resolved, That our. own able, eloquent and in
defatigable Senator, James BuciiANANKWho has
both ably and eloquently vindicated' the Bntmr of
his country, and. fearlessly exposed the anti-
American and dastardly conduct ofSEbmiel Web
ster, is entitled to our heart-felt gratitude and
praise, and we hereby extend to him the well
earned plaudit of/ “well done good and faithful
servant.”
Resolved, That we would be recreant to every
-magnaninious irapulse'of'patriotisnnr: and - dulyV'if
we did not, ono and all, hereby utterly abjure and
disavow all manner of connection with thaparty
which fosters such a TRAITOR as Daniel Web
ster, in the high places of the government, and jf
me did not rend asunder every remnant of the ties
that in the last Presidential contest bound a por
tion of us to it. ,'
Resolved, That JOXIN BANKS, the federal
Buckshot lawyer, being the candidate of tho Dan
iel Webster anti-American party, wo must hold
him responsible for tho kind of company he keeps,
and could not therefore grvo him our support
without,a painful violation of conscience ahd duty.
Received, That wo will with entire cordiality,
give our votes and hearty support.to Gen. DAVID
R. PORTER, the faithful son'of a noble and pa
triotic sire, who has no manner, of connection-with
the British'Webster party,.b'nt is the candidate of

Mn. Sanderson;— Can you inform the public
at whoso expense the ill-arranged and badly exe
cuted pamphlet, purporting to bo a history of the
Borough of Carlisle, was published, and what
was the cost? Rumor says that the compilation;
printing, stitching, etc., amounted to about $4OO,
and that it has been done at the expense of the
Borough! Can you throw any light upon the
subject, and by so doing gratify a Tax Paved.
We cannot answer the interrogatories of our
correspondent, from any facts in our possession.
All we know is, that if the edition cost as much
as “Tax Payer” says, it must have been a pretty
fat job to the compilers and printer. We advise
our correspondent to apply either, to the' Whig
Council, Whig Compilers, or Whig Printer—
perhaps they, or some one of them, can, if they
will, give the desired information.— Ed, To!, .
Destructive Fire.
■By the subjoined: letter, which we received
from an attentive friend, our readers will Icam the
particulars of a very serious fire which occurred
in the village of Lisburn on Thursday night last:
Lisburn, July 30th, 1841.
Mr. Sanderson: Sir—
Our village was thrown into great confusion
about 12 o’clock last night by the cry of fire which
originated in the store of Mr. Einstine, and before
any means could be made use of, the.devourfng
element had got so far headway that all resistance
to stop its progress was unavailing. The whole
store, with all its contents, books, &c., were de
stroyed, and Mr. Einstine merely escaped with
his life, being nearly suffocated before he could bo
roused from his bed. The store was attach editor
-and fermedpart of the building occupied by Mr.
McCann as a Tavern; both were consumed, to
gether with another building attached and' occu
pied by Mr.'Henry McKroskey, and a store house'
or ware room occupied by Mr. Einstine. Mr. Mc-
Cann was the owner of the buildings; and it may
be truly said, that he is left without house or home,;
Every, thing which he bad laid up to sustain, him
self and family in old age is now taken from him.
His property Real and Personal, is all gone—his
loss is'immense, for it is his all. Mr. McKroskey
has lost all his household furniture, and is thrown
upon a Christian community for assistance to en
able him .to commence house keeping again.—
Mr. MoKroskoy is an honest, sober, industrious
citizen, and any personthat can assist him, will be
doing What every good citizen Ought aind will do.
It is useless for me to say any thing in behalf of
Mr..McCann; ho is an old and respectable citizen,
and has kept a-pnblio houso in the village of Lis
burn, 1 since the year 1807. Himest, sober and al
ways ready to accommodate those who gave him
a call. Will not the citizens of Cumberland and
York counties. who have shown such liberality oh
former occasions, lend their aid and assistance to:
those who by. this dispensation of Providence are
thrown upon a Christian and feeling community.
The loss of property, is estimated between eight
and ten Thousand dollars.; Part of 'the-'store of
Mr. Einstine; as we are informed, is secured by !
insurance.. It is hot knoWn hoW the fire originated.
... Y.ours, &c.
From the St. Louis Argus, of the 22d ul
timo, we learn that quite a battle was fought
in the Indian country, between large num
bers of Indians, negroes; and mongrels, from
Florida/aod a detachment of U. S, troops.
That,paper says:— V. •;' , ’
' **Byli gentleman direct from Fort Leaven

Florida, and runaways from the Choctaws

fastnesses west of Arkansas. Not long since,
they marched high npßed River,and'etmp:.

fortifications, and began to form upon the
prairie in front of their works. Ere they
fiil.ly succeeded in doing so. Captain Moore
and his gullant.dragoons charged upon them,
at full gallop. The carnage that ensued is
represented as terrific—the dragoons routed,
them in, all'directions, and, after putting
large numbers to the sword, succeeded in
capturing the whole body l The conduct of
the dragoons is represented as worthy of all
commendation, as regards both, skill'and
bravery. The bravery and numbers of the
refugees availed absolutely nothing against
the irresistible charge of the mounted dra
goons. , ? ’
“This decisive blow wilt give security to
that exposed portion of out.- frontier, and
convince the refugee negroes & Indians that
our dragoons may not be trifled with. The
loss of the dragoons was unknown to our in

news to the fort.’.’ . - ._ ;

prostration of aU the faculties of (he mind

On'the first attack of fever, or any dis
ease, -immediately take a large dose of
Jirandreth’s Vegetable Universal PiWs. and
continue to keep up a powerful effect upon
the bowels until the fever or pain has entire
ly ceased. Six or eight will in most cases
be sufficient as a first dose, and one dose of
this kind, it is improbable, may prevent
months of sickness, perhaps death. .
