Public Opinion.— Last week was. a throng
time in town, and we look occasion to enquire at
many of our political friends, who were in atten
dance at Court, about the slate of feeling in their
respective neighborhoods, on the subject of the ap
proaching election. In addition to the flattering
accounts-detailed in conversation, we also received
several letters from different sections of the coun
ty, some of which we inscr| in another colurqn,
nil going to’show that in old mother Cumberland
the prospects were never more We
have heard of changes in our favor in almost every
borough and township, some of them the most in
fluential men in their respective neighborhoods*—
These individuals have become thoroughly dis-
gusted at the conduct of the Federal leaders, and
~are" determined"liSncefdrUnir'supiJorl
cratic cause.. They highly approve of the honest
and straight-forward course pursued by Gov.Por
■fer,” and of the efforts tnade by him to advance the
interests and preserve the honor and integrity of
the Commonwealth, and they have resolved to
show.thcir gialiludo by. voting for him at the en
suing election. From all sections of the county
we hoar this kind of agreeable news, and it conies
so well authenticated that we cimurtt doubt its cor
rectness. , To our Democratic friends abroad, then,
we say, look out with a certainty for an old-fash
ioned majority from this county. We have the
“bone and sinew”—the honest of all parties with
'ns, and the cause of the people will triumph at the
ensuing election. Let the Democrats in every
county exert themselves as they ought, and David
U. Porter must be elected by a Jackson majority.
THE DELEGATE-ELECTIONS L.
Take place on Saturday weth. It is to be
hoped that the. people generally will attend, and
elect “good men and true 1 ’ to represent them in
the County Convention. It is all-important to the
welfare of the Democratic party, that a judicious
choice bo made by the Convention—and we draw
attention to the subject thus early, that the people
may select the proper .kind of delegates Ho. carry
out tlteir wishes. .

THE COFFEE AND TEA TAX PARTY,
The Federalists sre anxious to. escape from the
infamy which attaches to their friends in Congress,
in their wicked attempts to lay a heavy duty on
COFFEE, TEA, SALT, SUGAR,, and. other*
neeasariei of life. They find that the great mass
of the people are up in arms against it, ■fl'nd that
they , will no more submit to such tyranny than did
our revolutionary fathers to the Tea Tax of the
British Ministry. They find that the spirit of
’seventy-six Still burns in the breasts of American
freemen—and that the passage of such a law must
drive the' administration into disgrace; and blast
all their fair prospects of retaining, power for any
considerable length of time. -The knowing Fed
eralists see all this—hence their efforts both in and
out of Congress to explain the odious tax away.
But it ail will not do. The people now feel and
see that they have, been grossly deceived by the
leaders of the Federal party—and that in placing
the -present administration ijri power, they haye
created a vile despotism which will trample them
in the dust, if not speedily arrested in its infamous
course; a
The Coffee and Tea Tax party, alias the Fed
eralists, are wonderfully in the dumps about the
Gubernatorial election in this State.. A perfect
apathy seems to have crept into their ranks, and
they lire hardly able to show any opposition what
*ever. Their candidate, John Banks, is scarcely
ever mentioned, and the candid ones among tkom 4
admit that he stands no earthly chance of being
elected. Indeed, from present appearances, it
seems as though Gov, Pobtbk is destined -10-wulk
over Ifie course almost alone, and .that the Feder
alists will permit the election to go against them
by default. All that is requlredon the part of the
Democrats, is to do their, duty a§ freemen, and
there cannot be a doubt of his election by twenty

The Hoboken Murder. —Under thih. caption
the New York city papers have Numerous articles
in relation to thegiurderof a young female, named
Mary C. Sunday the 25tl},ulL From
circumstances .which have been detailed, it ap
pears highly probable lhat she was decoyed or
forced into a boat containing six men, taken across
the river, her person brutally violated, and after
wards most inhumanly murdered by these ruffians.
Her body was found floating in the river .on the
following mornings but all exertion’s to ferret out
the perpetrators of the brutal outrage have yet
proved-unavailing.
The Temperance cause appears to be gaining
ground rapidly in this borough- Within the last
two or three weeks a number of persons have
signed the Total Abstinence pledge, and many
others are making up their minds, to ‘‘go and
likewise*” An exterminating war is proclaimed
against Alcoholic drinks, and. if the good work of
reform continues as it lias' begun, the tithe is not
distant when liquor telling’, will be rather, a dull
business-in this community. / .

Messrs. J. W; Eby, J; Hamilton, and L. Harlan,

Gentlemen—
• I have to'regret that I was accidentally prevent

are when regarded as proofs, either of the great
value of education, of of.the adaptation of our com
mon school system, to accomplish the great
benevolent purposes for which it was adopted:
The value, ofgeneral educationfs/in tins age of
the. world, acknowledged by all; it is pne of those
delightful theories which are universally admired
—but when its practical utility is demonstrated,
as in Carlisle, where all who.jvant to see may see
its direct and positive'influence in elevating the
standard of morals and intellect, it then and then
only, takes its rank.amongst thb great'rneans of
restoring and securing to mhn his true p’osition in
the creation of God. ’ Whehlhoaa«who do, and
those .who do not enj oythegi fta of fortune, meet
together to witness the improvement of mind, and
see their children arid Wards, withouf reference to
position in society, all standing nponihe same
platform, striving for excellence in knowledge and:
goodness, all other 'distinctidhs but thoso arising
from true merit disappear, and pare’nts and guar
dians feel that knowledge and . worth.alone, confer,
rank, and that this equality directly .promotes the
benefit of .all. Here the .Christian and the;patriof
meet and exult .In the conviction, that by a well

'MARK' THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DEMOCRATIC RUDE AND FEDERAL
MIS-RULE!
It would present a very, nice inquiry to tho peo
plp of Pennsylvania, to ascertain as near as.possi
ble the sums of .money that have been actually
LOST to the Commonwealth by Federal misman
agement, evonwithin a few years only, not to
travel back any farther. Such an array of figures
as would be presented by such an inquiry, if care
fully conducted, would fill the minds of the pepplo
with well grounded alarm. We have not the lei
sure to prosecute such an examination minutely,
but will hero prosent a few items by way of exam
fle. 'V
The tax payers of the slate lost SIX, HUN
DRED THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED AND
SIXTY SIX DOLLARS, and sixty six cents—
money that was foolishly squandered during the
reign of Joseph Ritrier upon the Gettysburg rail
road—and every cent of which, so far as the inter
ests of the State are'concerned, might ,as well
have been sunk-in thq Atlantic ocean.
The state lost TWO HUNDRED and TWEN
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS upon the Hunting
don Breach, that being the difference between the
sum actually expended, and the sum necessary to
bo .expended, according to the testimony of John
M’Cbthb, before Ligbtner’s investigating commit
tee. ...
f The slate lost ONE HUNDRED and FORTY
SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and upwards,
expended by Ritner in his Don Quixotte war of
1838—money that had also been belter sunk into
the depths of the sea. . .
Thestate lost SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND,
FOUR HUNDRD AND- FIFTY TWO DOL
LARS and twenty eight cents, by the refusal of
Legislgtare-tosolLthestook-myned;
/Gnv/ FO‘R'rKR’S-rccomm.eß<latlon—tho-slock
having since depreciated to that amount -
The slate lost at least TWENTY THOUSAND
BOLTERS by. Lightnor’s foolish investigation,
which, to the Commonwealth, was not worth ten
cents,.estimating it at the value.'
The. state, in all human probability, will lose
One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars more
in consequence of the stoppage of Ritner’s “bal
ance wheel,” whereby the unpaid portion of the
bonus will scarcely ever come into the Treasury.

state, and yet paying, in the shape of interest upon
loans contracted for the purpose of paying off some
of the above foolish and disreputable debts. Add
to these losses the interest thus paid, together with
the sums squandered in’and about the legislature,

see that I could not give my sanction to a meas
ure of the character described*, without surrender
ing all claim to the respect of’honorable men—all
confidence on the part of the people—all self-re
spect—all regard for moral and religious, obliga
tions—without an observance of which, no
ernment can lui nrosperous, and no People can be
happy. It would be to commit a crime which 1
would not wilfully sorhmit to gain any earthly re
ward, and which-“Wonldrjostly subject me to the
ridicule and scorn of all virtuous men” 1
The Veto has knocked" Whiggefy into a three

Spitting of Blood,
Is another dangerous'sympton - of “Pul
monary Affection,” and difficult to arrest
when neglected;-" if "commences with, cough,
copious expectoration, which consists of
bright, frotliy matter, or black, and clotted
with blood; there is mostly some, lever,
headache, palpitation of the heart, and red
ness of the cheeks; difficulty of breathing,
soreness of the : throat, and saltish fast in the
mouth, &c. ‘‘Dr. DUNCAN’S EXPECTO
■RAN.T REMEDY” will be found to arrest
ibis complaint. “One Single Bottle,” in
many cases, will answer if used at the first
attack, but when neglected, it may require
many more.’ Those who may be fiffiicled
with “SPITTING OF BLOOD” should
lose no time in procuring the above medi
cine, as this disease mostly proves serious,
when not early attended to. "

Br’andreth’s Pills.— This medicine is
acknowledged to. be one of the most valu
nble,.evcr discovered, as ,a purifier of the
blood arid fluids. It is superior fo.Sarsar
parilla,.whcthcr-as a-sudorific or alternative,
arid stands infinitely before all the prepara
tions and combinations of Mercury, fts
purgative properties are aldne of incalcula
ble value, for the? pills may be taken daily
for any period, and, instead of weake'ning
by the cathartic effect, they add strength by
taking away the cause of weakness. They
have-none, of the miserable effects of that
deadly . specific. Mercury. The teeth are
not injured—the bones arid limbs are not
paraliscd-—no; but instead of there distress
ing symptons, new life arid consequent ani
mation are Evident-in-every-movement of
the body: , J . i
Brandretli’s Pills are indeed a universal
remedy: because they cleanse and purify tl).e
blood. Five years this medicine has been
before the public in,;.the- United States:
wherever it hits been it lias su
perseded all other remedies.
