Between the hours of 10 and 4 o'clock, the citizens
ef Carlisle are to determine by ballot, whether or n. I
tho Town Council shall issue Shin Piaster's to the
amount of ten thousand dollars! ■
SHIN PLASTERS.
Tho Town Meeting held on,Thursday evening last,
to take into consideration the propriety of requesting
the Council to make an issue of Shin Plasters, was
largely attended. After considerable discussion, (he
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That Hugh Uaullaoiikh, Esq., and Dr.
Jou.n J. Mikus, be appointed to hold an election of
tho qualified citizens of tho Borough, on Thursday
fccxt, the Gth day of* January, .between the hours of
10 o’clock, A. M. and 4 o’clock, P. M. and the tickets
■hull be designated as Tdlows, viz:—“ISSUE,” by
those ih'favor of small notes—and “NO ISSUE/’ by
those opposed to them. • ■*& '
- Prom the above resolution it will be perceived that
the qualified citizens of tho Boiough are to decide by
ballot this day, whether or n »l the known law of the
* Commonwealth shall be openly and palpably violated
by* those wlio have taken a solemn oath to support the
'CousUatCpm sfcdluw.s,, end whether ti debt to the
*mount ; of some. clgJti or ten t/wusanddi>)lars.&\vd\\ bs'
' levied upon the Borough, for ihp pu/l>3SCLOpgn\} i fy ji ig a
few individualrwho wislk-to effect n-loan to |haf a
mount, This is tho true issue to he decided, and we
jjow call upon every citizen who lids any regard for 7
the laws, and who wishes to preserve the fair character
of the Borough, to,turn out to the election and vote'
against the project. 7’his js no pnjty question. It is
one which interests*every tax-payer in this community.
.The Borough is now free from debt—lot it remain sO;
-for it cannot be denied that every dollar issued would"
!»e "iT debt Vreated by tho Council, and every man’s
properly and every tax-payer would he bound to pay it,
Wic trust t Iron fore that all the f.kizcns opposed to
- the mad project, will promptly-uttendTho election TO
DAY, and deposite tin if ballots, so th&rthc Council
may have a full expression of popular opinion on the
■.ubjeet
(■£j*Thc citizens present at the meeting on Thurs
day evening, must feel gnttfol t 3 Mr. Watts for the
candid statement which lie gave of (he expense and
probable consequences which would result from the
contemplated issue of Shin Plasters. This gentleman
is President c f the Council at present, and also held
the same station in 1837, when the former issues were
mode—he therefore speaks knowingly on the s.uljcct-
Mr. W. informed the meeting that the cost of issuing
the former notes (leaving out the one, two and three
dollar ones, which he signed himself without charge,)
was over >7O0 —and that, from a very low estimate
which he mad.c, tho cost of. the issue now' desired
would amount to at least flOOO! So, then, the actual
debt which would be created for the Borough, would
amount in the first plaec to £lOOO for getting ten
thousand dollars’ worth issued, ns requested by those
in favor of the measure, ami iu the. second place the
amount issued, making in the aggregate £ll,ooo—a
pretty round sum* for tax-payers to contemplate I
But Mr. W. gave the meeting sbnic further informa
tion, lie informed the citizens present tint according
to the-provisions of the Art of Assembly,, every note
ireued would subject the Bor&ugh to a fine of fifty
dulhrs, if proceeded. Now', suppose the Council
were to issue only one thousand notes, the fines on
this number would amount to an aggregate of £50,000
—another pretty-sum for the tax-payers to look upon!
But. again—every person cither passing or receiving
a.ny note of the kind, is likewise liable lo a fine. Now,
wo do not know that the law would he enforced, nor
do we know that it would not; hut this much wo arc
certain of, that the surest plan forall parties concerned
would be to run no risk on the subject.
We call the attention of tho people to tho above
mentioned facts, that they may vote nmlerstandingly
on the subject, We feel the want of specie change as
nijuch os any body else whoso business is not more .ex
tensivo than our owp; but we cannot consent to reme
dy tho evil, by setting all law at defiance, and creating
h dclil for the Borough,- .which must be paid from the
pockets of the citizens in the event of the loans getting
into bad hands, or in'thefuiluro of (ho, creditors lo pay
them when due.’ The citizens of Carlisle have already
enough of taxation, in all conscience, w ithout reckless
ly seeking more; —and as a tax-payer, in common with
the rest of our fellow-citizens, we raise our voice against
“any unnecessary project which could, by possibility,
Increase the burthen.
(L/Thcrc is one way, and only one ti nt wo know
of ol present by which the citizens of this Borough
. coh be supplied with a sufficiency of silver- change—
and that is for each and every individual to rcfuscaftcr
a given day, to take any noteWhder one dollar; Lot
this resolution betaken and adhered tOj and, our word
fpr it, in less than a week silver will make its appear
ance in sufficient quantities for every useful purpose.
There is an abundance of -silvai in the community};
but (like oil and water) it will not mix with shin-plaa
iers. If wo have sp' ex in one pocket and shin-plasters
in the qthcr. the latter will, always be ppid out first;
but if we have none of this trash, the silver must make
iia appearance.
fifj'lf our merchants are po badly pjT ibr change, as
thty allege they oro, let them take the advice of Mr*
GixJic.AHcn,.and send to the city, where they can be
supplied-in any quantity at from five to six per cent,
premium.. This snail premium would scarcely bo
out of their silver would certainly
;■ bojpreferable to shinpla6lcrs; F :' Bamc of them, however,
it ip said are in the habit of selling it ns ’fast as they
get it, in order to' make the premium—and theeo same*
Individuals arc loiiJcst in-the cry about scarcity of
change, and are most bolsteroua in' urglhgthb Town
Council to issue small notes I This; we should say, is

epithet that would, applyl : . ‘; .

the Baltimore Republican. It shows to what a pretty
pass tho finances of (he country have been brought in
tho first year of Whig mis-rulo. Well may the people
exclaim, “God save the Commonwealth."
WASHINGTON, Deo.. 39, IS4I. '
Dear Sin:—The yeast of Reform put into the po
litical batch by tho Whigs, id beginning to work. Tho
Government after borrowing millions of dollars,
issuing spvon millions of notes, and collect
ing ten millions of dollars more reyenuo, than was es
timated by the redoubtable statesman and Financier,
Henry .Clay, making in all twenty-two millions of
dollars, finds 'itself bankrupt. Tho Speaker made a
requisition on the Treasury for sloo,ooo,'for lire pay
of members, which-was laid over to a future time, the
Treasurer stating that'thcro were no funds to meet it.
Among other, members .who called yesterday for their
mileage, was Mr. Wise, who stated that this was the
first time such a thing has happened under tho govern
ment, since its establishment. I learn from an authen
tic source that there is upwards of half- q million
Cheeks on tho Treasurer's table which cmiiiot ho can
celled for want of funds. The question naturally
arises, what has-bccomc of tho money, which accord
jug to jhe estimates of Secretory Woodbury were so
needlessly borrowed? On* thc first of January last; it
will he recollected, there were on hand $1,500,000;
now here is a deficit in tho Treasury of upwards of
$700,000, acknowledged, , and checks and drafts due,
which ought to be paid, of $500,000 more, Tho loan
and issue of Treasury notes, amounting to $12,000,000
added to the revenue flowing from customs, has all
come into the hands of the Government What, I ask
again, has of the money; It has been squan
dered for some purpose unknown to the country, and
we now present the degrading spectacle of a, bankrupt
nation. And wo are brouglit— to-this disgraceful
position in the first year of Whig ascpijdancy. How
have that party carried out their principles of reform
so loudly proclaimed previous »-to and during tire late
presidential'canvass, and their promises to expose and
correct abuses, and curtail extravagant expenditures?'
Let their acts of the Extra Scss-ion, and the facts de
tailed above speak. If the dcvelopemcnts which,will
hc mailc during the present session docs notsi/lccn the
Whigs, then.l am mistaken. 'No wonder that An
xoi.n, denies his work, and pio:laigiB tl i* no Whig
Administration.' The obloquy Heavy for them
to bear. It is weighing them dovyn to the cqrth, aigl
they are endeavoring to lice from tho vast sea of public
indignation which is rolling rapidly on to overwhelm
them.

JVyHhc Grand Jury against the persons connected wit.h
l|ie United States Bank. Judges Barton Conrad
h dt livered opinions agrec'nj in the view that tho
presentment was irrcgidw, illegal, and unconstitution
al. That it was illegal, inasmuch as they had no right
to summon, swear, arid examine witnesses where no
primary hearing of tho defendants has been bad. By
common law a Grand Jury haslio right to administer
apd by statute law they have only the right to
administer oaths to such witnesses as are sent np to
them by the prosecuting ofticpr, and endorsed upon the
hill ; and that it was unconstitutional as the persons
presented xvcje first used as witnesses—and then, up-'
on-the information obtained from themselves, without
havingJhc right which is constitutionally granted to
every individual to he heard by counsel in his own.de
fence., Judge Doran also'favored the quashing; he
considered the irregularity of the proceedings if tho
Grand Jury consisted in summoning and not iu swear
ing the witncsscss. - Tho’niatter, it is understood, will
bo brought before the next Grand Jury.
A number of petitions, resolutions memorials
were presented nijd referred.
Mr. Benton took the floor and made n regular

Bankrupt Law. with a view to postpone its coming
into operation on the first of February. AftcfMr. B.
took his seat Mr. Hemikhson replied in a speech .of
some 15 or 20 minutes. lie was followed by Messrs.
WnifJUT and Calhoun, the latter of whom moved an
amendment to.the motion of Mr. Benton with a view
to effect a total repeal of the Law, and so for os it ap
peared to me proved conclusively the impossibility of
carry ing ou.t the measure as it now stands. •
A message, was received from the. House informing
the Senate, that they (the House)'had agreed to the

this subject, and given significant Indications ’of an cm
in the science of financiering. It is folly. to dose our
eyes'to facts. That the little leaver} nr Mississippi
will leaven the whole moss, tpul that tho people will
pay the Stale debts, before Unco years n,t the ballot
box, is clear to demonstration. That it should be-so
would leave room fur discussion; as undoubtedly much
migljt bo said on both side?; one,thing however is cer
tain that reason is slow fo bp convinced, when interest
prompts a ditlcrcnt course. Slates are independent
sovereignties, without souls or bodies, and not liable to
bo sued. The people ore the principle
which although undoubted, the community are slow
to understand, and slower to act upon. A light is felt.
People are beginning to understand their rights, .that
they are not serfs of office holding dema
gogues, subject implicitly, to obey the mandates of their
rulers, hut are tho free, and independent rulers of the
land, who have only to epoak through the ballot box
and be obeyed. In the exercise of this prerogative,
the popular will may sometimes err, yet it were better
so, than by remaining passive, tacitly to deprive our
selves of our constitutional rights, and subject ourselves
to unjust taxation, To say unjust taxation would be
to use the mildest phrase tho circumstances would al
low; for if the whole internal improvement system of
Pennsylvania, from first to last, has not* been a system
of unjust, oppressive, extravagant, wasteful and un
constitutional measure's, language hojf losfits meaning.
Unjust and oppressive in (his, that if our public works
hud accomplished (ho end-intended, they would have
brought western produce In competition’with tho pro
ducts of Pennsylvania, thus compelling us to pay for
the exclusive .benefit of others. ~.
Extravagant and wasteful, because 'commenced in
U spirit of rivalry to u sister btatc, carried on by a spe
cies of gcrry-nmiidcring and log-rolling without a pai
ullel; giving ttf one section of the slate a Canal and to
another a lateral rail-road, iu order to purchase mem
bers of the House to vote for a canal from one end of
thc v slalc-to the other, against the known wishes of a
majority of taxpayers/and even under the most fa
vorable circumstances, of doubtful utility; thus paying
for five miles of public works where one was wanted,
and ending by burdening the people with exorbitant
tuxes, and destroying, the credit of the state. Uncon
stitutional, because the people never delegated this
power to.tho Legislature, as it-isno where expressed
in the Constitution ol tho Slate, and thp people are
neither morally nor. civilly’bound for the action of the
Legislature I when it tfapscends the written constitution.
To - suppose otherwise would be to render the constitu
tion a dyad, letter. A decision to this dice; wps.iutidc
ijot long.since by tho Supremo Court of the State of
Connecticut, and perhaps in some other of the New
England Slates, which at- once put an end to the In
ternal improvement system. A decision on this sub
ject by the Supreme CouU of Pennsylvania would ho
important at thy present juncture, us if determined, as
we have reason to expect, in favor of jlic. people, it
would do much to remove the.conscientious scruples
of those. who are disposed to, look at this subject in a
nipral point of-view. Editors may-.prate, about Slate

With themselves. Lfct us look iit this
a little farther. What heart is there that would.no(
rejoice to hear by the arrival of the next Steamer, that
a revolution lujd overturned the present order of things
in England, destroyed.forever their enormous debt,
put an end ,to their unjust Tariff, rendered necessary
to pay the interest on this debt, and by this means de
priving millions of beings of the necessaries of
life. Is there n patriotic heart but would rejoice nt
such news! Let us look at fmine._ ques
tioned the propriety of the Congress of'the U. States
refusing to redeem the Continental money p U t j n t 0
circulation for purposes at the time necessary to’tlic'
vnry existence of the Government, Certainly none.
The Continental money fell into a few hands at
merely nominal prices, and lljo-_propriely 0 f the mea
sure was never qucflioncd. The same fa cU with re

exist now as then,'only-in a less degree. Indiana'
State stock at $l9 for $lOO paid—lllinois about
the same, Pcimsv Ivnnia slock is tending towards these \
prices, and where these things will end Heaven oidy 1
knows, Without following this important subject far
ther, I would remark that a icfusal on tfie part of the
people to pay the State debt, would result in a two-fold
good, by removing an enormous and involuntary debt
from o(f *our shoulders, and preventing forever any
danger of the likc recmrencc again.

in his seal, having been absent for some days, owing to
a severe cold, which confined l\im to his room. He '

by Mr. Patns of Alabama; and Mr. Bunn of New
Hampshire,*who read prijt of his speech himself, but
finding the House indisposed to listen with that
respect which the gentleman seemed to consider dus
to his feelings and hjs station, ho sent the tail of it to
•be read by tho Clerk of tho House. This novel mode
of lashing.the .House with tho tail of a speech, and
making tho Clerk serve in tho double capacity of, no
tary and Flagilalor General, excited considerable mer
riment. Mr. Eastman from N. .Hampshire, followed
Mr. Burk, both of which gentlemen expressed their
opposition to a protective .Tariff, ue being adverse to
the interests of their non-manufacturing constituencies.
Mr. E. kept the fioor until tho house adjourned which
was about half past three o’clock.

expressing his great anxiety, that something should bo
done in relation to this question, which, rWhilo it
would not compromise in any way the separate inter

ARISTIDES.
The present session of Congress presents itself .ns
one highly interesting to’ the country. Thus far little
mon? than preparatory steps have been taken, but both
brandies ore apparently honestly deliberating on meas
ures that will lend to the prosperity of the country—
and evidently deeply impressed with the magnitude of
the work before them.
, The President has redeemed his pledge by present
ing to the people, what lie no doubt conceives to be*,
a safety to the Revenue, and litguluior of the currency
—that the Representatives of |hc people will so decide,
is yet to be delcnnined, '
That the condition of the currency is highly. dis
eased, will not dar,c to be disputed, but that it will be
restored to a healthy condition by administering gov
ernment stimulants is certainly questionable. That the
purgative operaton which it si now undergoing, and
which lias bem brought on by excess, will of itself if
left alone cure the disease with n promise of longevity,
is, I think, worthy of consideration.
The reference of the Tariff question is still before
.the House, it lias taken a. wide range and has invited
animated debates—efforts * arc using to make the vote
on the question of reference, a test of the Tariff and
anU-Tariff strength of the House—it will be found I
think not to be entirely so. !
The unexampled and exhausted condition of lbe>
Treasury is hut another of the proofs 'of-Whig reform.
The Treasury is at this, moment unable to supply the
means necessary to the payment of the bread and beef
of the members of Congress.- The expenditure of over
thirty millions of dollars presents the best evidence of
Whig economy, and an empty Treasury thobefct evi
dence of good.financicririg.
