ABOLITIONISM. Two of our contemporaries of decided abolition tendencies; tho Philadelphia “Spirit of the Times’* and the “ Evening Bulletin,” liavo scon proper to make oomments upon the action of-Judge Hepburn in tho recent trial for a riot in this place, when he expressed the strong dissent of himself and his As sociates',‘Stuart and Clenuenjn, to the verdict of the jury in that case, by which some of the principal of fenders .were pronounced not guilty, and others wore convicted, who were obscure participators in thot disgraceful transaction. We think’ the court would have to itself and to the whole corn* munity, if they had suffered the verdict to pass with out a decided and proper rebuke. It wonld certainly liavo been a' mailer of comment, and perhaps dark insinuation, if the court under such circumstances had remained silent. . As to-the assertion of the Times that “ the verdict was in full accordance with the popular feeling in the Borough of Carlisle*, as well as with strict, jus tice,” it is about such an assertion as an abolitionist of the rank dye of some of those connected with (hat paper would mako* without having heard tho evi. dencc, or knpwlng any thing at all of the matter, except what they have gleaned from kindred dark spirits. An abolitionist of their stamp, regard neither (he constitution or laws of (ho United States, nor the compromises upon which they arc based, but seized with one idea, run stark mad, and make assertions at random without a tittle of proof to sustain them, and which are notoriously untrue. Of the same piece are the sage remarks of the Times in reference (o the l&to ad of Assembly. The heroes of the Times in (ho abolition phalanx, when pretending to treat of law and justice, are Uko chiU dren playing with edge tools, or Justices of the Peace attempting to fathom Coke, upon Littleton or Fcarno on Contingent Remainders. Wo pity such miserable pretenders to great learning and profundity, and especially to great wisdom in legal lore, from the bot tom of our heart, and consider them with their little knowledg'o and rank prejudices, as dangerous to the! well being of the community as mad dogs, and should I bo kept within as restricted bounds, and be looked! upon in the same light. They arc eternally talking about what they don't understand, and sagely con* elude that a little nullification, on. the part of our Stale Legislature, in (he shape of the late act of As sembly relative to-fugitives from labor, must ncccs sarily upturn the constitution and laws of the United States, and justify robbery.and bloodshed, and oven murder. • .* . Our friend of the Bulletin is about as unfortunate as his neighbors of the Times, and is manifestly talking at random and about what ho doea not un derstand. lie appears to place implicit confidence in his own opinions, never doubling but that the ac tion of which ho complains, was uncalled for, and I out of place, perhaps the editor of lh4 Bulletin also has some sympathy with some of the,defendants in this case, and was tnognilixed at the distance of a hundred and twenty miles, by the decided improprie. ty of Judge Hepburn, in his remarks in reference to this immaculate verdict. Judge Ukviurn never did on act in lirs* fifo for which he hoe been sustained so full/ and heartily by the people of (his community and tins comity* as his solemn protest against the verdict referred to, in behalf ofhirasolf and the Associate Judges. Had ho not done so, under the circumstances, lie would have been unworthy of the place ho so worthily occopies. Ilia conduct on (hat occasion meets with universal approval, always saving and excepting the few abo* Vitionisls who infest, like venomous reptiles, every, community. With those remarks we drop the sub* ject, and caution our contemporaries to inform them* salve# more fully In future as to the facts of which they complain,; as well as the fadings ol the commit*, nlty, upon which they would make their readers bo*, hove a high handed outrage and arbitrary stretch of power had been inflicted, before they venture their frail barks from lire shore, where they are accustom-1 ed to paddle, and before they Venture remarks tho' tendency of which they do not understand, and the' otfect ofwhlch they ore profoundly ignorant. | Neither the two petitioned presses of Carlisle, who art more or loss infected with tho one idea mania, and who have published garbled and unfair state, merits pf this trial, nor their codaborora in tho aboil, lion osmo in Philadelphia, can change the honcsi sentiments of (his community on * subject in which they in eoirimoo with the mass of the people of Penn sylyanis, and lUe whole Union, are so deep and vital ly interested. THE WHIG COUNTY MEETING—TIIE MEX- ICAN PARTY.^ The Federalists of this coupty, at their County Meeting, on kho dvening of the S3d ull., passed a resolution. declaring l v “ lliiit. tlm/war' with- Mexicb could and ought to have been; avoided —that our country iB-in the unnatural attitude of an invader of a ncighbqring Mexico is corlnhdy most faithfully represented in :thia country—and particularly county."- Ever since the corn* mcncoment Of our difficulties with the Fed eralists (wo mean the loaders and wire-pullers,) have zealously labored to prove that Mexico has boon in the right, and tlio United States in the, torong . r — This is to bo expected, as a matter, of course. The Federal party instinctively takes sides with the ene my, in every controversy in which tho country has been engaged-with foreign powers. This is to bo deeply regretted. 1 There should.bo but one feeling and one hea'rt among Americans,-when their country is brought into conflict with foreign powers. Every thought of the mind, every, pulsation of tho heart, should opr country., , During tho Revolutionary ’• war there were those, among us who adhered to tho cause of England with the utmost, fidelity, and considered it treason'of-the deepest.dio, to rise upagainst their king and sove reign. r ' ; During the last war with great Britain, there was a certain party who denounced Mr. Madison as bit terly as Mr. Polk is how denounced. That war .was stigmatised as unholy and unjust-^—people were told not to aid or countenance (hose who were engaged in it—capitalists were implored.net to lend them means to carry it on—political clergymen, forgetting their high and holv calling, dealt bur bitter fulminn- tions against llio administration oh account of the war—Hartford conventions wore called, in order to organize a party to break down the administration— federal orators and federal editors used every argu ment they could possibly think of, to blacken their country in the eyes of tho world. Now, when the country is engaged.in a war with Mexico, the same Federal party are on.the side of (ho enemy, continually declaring that the war is unholy and unjust j that it' was commenced by the United States, without any just cause whatever; that Mexi co. is a weak and injured power, and should bo treat l od kindly; that the present administration wishes to conquer and take possession of Mexico, so as to ex tend slavery, &c. dec. Not one of these allegations is true, as any candid man must know, who has taken the'pains to. inform himself.’ We charge distinctly, that to tho federal party must be attached the blame of tho war with Mexico— : -this wo can prove to the satisfaction of'every reasonable mind. Tho Mexican nation has been ably vindicated in this country— Mexican perfidy has been applauded—Mexican out rages have been defended, by men of talent and influ ence, Learned statesmen rise up in their place in the American Congress, and speak for hours in bo* half of Mexican rights. Reverend.divines rise up in the pulpit on the Lord’s Day,and preach eloquently in favor of the outrages committed by Mexico against our own counlry.l These sermons and;spccchcs are conspicuously published in the Mexican papers here, and of course arc translated and Copied-with applause into kindred journals in tho City of Mexico! , All these things have had their influence on tho people of Mexico, ls .it not natural, under these circum stances, for (He Mexicans to bcllcvo (hoy arc in (he right? They commenced the war against flic United' Slatqs, without the slightest , cause whatever, but when such a largo number of American citizens have gone over to (heir side, they have every encourage ment to continue their outrageous course' towards this country. On this account we .declare that the Federalists are chargablo with the continuance, if not, the commencement, of the war. Can this bo dispu ted ? : PEURY COUNTY* We "are sorry, to see that a fow restless spirits in ; Perry county—men who call themselves Democrats —arc again at work trying to disorganize the Demo cratic party in that county. These men, for the purpose of carrying out their vile schemes, pretend great friendship, for Gem Taylor, and have nomina' ted him for tho Presidency. They have also placed in nomination a County Ticket, in opposition to the regular ticket, nominated by the delegates represent- ■ ing the democracy of that county in County Convcn- . lion.. When tho Federalists first nominated General 1 Taylor for' (lie Presidency in this Stale, their object | was to carry an Influence for Irvin, their, candidate , for Governor. But, tho old hero soon knocked tho \ noise out of Whiggery, by declaring (bat ho would { not consent to have his name used by political dom- , agogucs. Wo think tho disorganizes of Perry county have placed themselves in about tho same; predicament that tho Federalists did. They-first nominate Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, and then pin 1o his skirls a County ticket in opposition to the regular ticket. Tho great namo of tho first, they think, will give character to.lhcir tickct, and save it from defeat. But, these disaffected politicians will soon find that tho people arc not to bo gulled by low trickery—-nor will they sanction tho Insult offered to 1 , Gen. Taylor, by having his namo used for such pur poses. Wo hope our friends in Perry will yet see their error. Tho Democrats of all other counties in tho Slate oppoar united to a man. Then why should 'gallant Ultlo Perry’* bo tho first to attempt disor- ganization? The partial defeat wo sustained throughout the State last fall,should*admonish every friend to Democracy of the truth that “ a house di» vided against itself cannot stand.’*- While, with every I true Democrat, wo must deplore and condemn the apathy and recreancy which were the main causes of our defeat last full, wo feel no disposition lb drag up the by-gonos of the past, farther thap to point to them as admonitions for the future* Every honest Democrat must by this time be convinced that with* out union and harmony pf action, and a rigid adhe rence to regular nominations, there is no hope for the success of Democratic principles, and no prospect' of our gaining and maintaining our party ascendency. ’ Wo hope, therefore, that the true and honest Demo< ■ crats of little Perry will frown down this attempt at * disorganization. Ills such a move as cun do no good, one} may result in much harm, and those on ’ gaged in forming the second ticket, If theybe' Do ' mocrats in principle, will abandon their efforts, and 1 join .In assisting to elect the regularly nominated 1 ticket. Dot, if their object is to play into the hands 1 of (he Federalists, of course they will keep up their separate organization, and the (rue Democrats of - Perry must do the donbloduly of defeating the Fed cralists and' disorganizes together. •Culo»k6' W.

Repeal!” — Wo were then told that this was .lo bo the watch-word bftho Whigs. Many of the Federal,papers of this State—the Herald of this .place among the number — nailed to their tbp-mast the banner— 11 For .the Repeal of tAe British Tariff of 1846.” But our neighbor of tho' Herald, not many month's after, struck his flag, and so'did every Federal paper that had adopted the same motto. Tho tariff of 1846 worked like a charm —the people carefully investigated the subject for themselves—and the Federalists of this county, after all their bluster,- are afraid to"'whisper one word about “ repeal.” Is not this fact a strong argument in favor of the tariff of 1840 ?! Is it not proof that tho wise policy of Ihp-National administration is approved of by the people? ' The Federalists have been completely silenced on.lhai subject, and their late efforts lo arrest the prosperity of the country by moans of a panic—created for the safer purpose of promoting tho Cause of Federalism—has disgusted hundreds of honest, wclfmcaning Whigs, and we greatly mistake the “signs of the times” if they do not show their disapprobation of Federal pickery by their votes in October. “THE. ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.’* “ Ono.lcrm is a principle to which, the Whig parly stands pledged.” —Federal papers. ’ . The Federalists,.in the.hope of decomng the peo ple, are continually tolling .us that they arc in favor of but one term for office —they oven go'so far ns to declare that “one term is a principle of the Whig parly.” It is an old but true saying that, i* drowning men catch at straws,”, and this attempt of the Fed* eralisls to obtain office by fabricating so gross a falsehood, goes to prove the hopeless condition of our opponents. Lot us see how the Federalists have practiced this " one term principle.” In their great stronghold—Philadelphia city-—Joitrf Swift, an aris tocrat of the purest stripo, has again been nominated for Mayor.- He has held tbo office, wUh-lho excep tion of one or two years, over since tho. memory of the 11 oldest inhabitant,” and ycllhoso federal nabobs that pul'lrvin on tho ticket', hqVo^atso‘fhominated -John Swift for rc-clcctioif.

Citizens, Mr. James H* Kennedy. The testimony so for a«wc Jiavo seen it, is conclusive of tho guilt of Mr. M’Olin* look and a largo number of tho parlies presented, and it was therefore with unfeigned surprise, that on Monday night last, yro heard that Mr* M’Clinlock had been acquitted > and ihirleenofthonogrocs con* tided. ' At tho lime we arc writing lists article, we arc unacquainted with any of the fids connected with this most singular verdict. How the 13 negroes convicted, should have been found guilty upon tho the same testimony upott,whlcirMr. MTJnhtock has boon released, when, upon the face oflhal testimony, the hitler .is made to appear-as the instigator—tho prime mover—the very ombodlmento£lhe mob—sur. passes all boundsof comprehension. No pno can road the testimony already published, without being forc ' |p) to the conviction, that if he is not chsrgublo with . tho origin of tho whole outrage, he is, at least, re sponsible, by .the countenance and encouragement which ho for .the violence to which llwos car* . riod. And no ono can believe, thnt wllli tblscoun tenance and encouragement, those miserable ou/om. ' eta would now be required to expiate. their offence within the walls of tho Penitentiary. This. h im. just I—-ilia rank injustice I —and lamentable Us is ' ihe conclusion, wo nro yet forced' to believe, tfrat there Is “ something rollon' 1 in tho State of Pennsylvania, No ono would have rejoiced more.over tho fair and complete acquittal of Mr. WClintock, than ourself —hut an acquittal, with such antagonistic facts sta ring us fully in the face, is to bo deplored, most deep, ly by oil who snlorlain a proper respect for justice —a kindly feeling for their race,or a Jove for their C °Vfc will make it offr dirty to fay before okr rainier* all tho testimony and facts that we cun obtain,m or der that they nroy form Choir own opinions—for wo regard this in subject oat of which will hereafter, spring questions/ fraught with weal or wo to tho Re *Wo'understand ond wo allude to it with pleasure, that every effort which tolcnt aqd zeal coulu command, was oxertod in behalf of tho injured citizens of our, Stole. The Hoputy Attorney General,(Mr. llonham) in strains ofcloquonco whch drew tears from the most hardened ol tho audience, opened, the cause on UiO part of the Slate. “After the examination of the wit nesses, tho Jury was addressed on tho same side by Air.

Before we go to press, wo may be able to lay some farther facts boforo our readers. . P. S. Since the.above was in type, w© have receiv ed; full notes of the testimony, which will enable us, in. our next paper, to fnrnish a complete report bftho (rial.

From a hasty revision of the testimony, wo sob that.wo have been fully borne out by-the. witnesses, in the statement of the facts, made by us, inimedU ately after tho riot—which - statement was so ruth lessly assailed by some-of tho friends of Professor M'Clintock. TnTcgotd-To the declaration of Prof. M*o. after MrJ Kennedy bud fallen, that *• it served Kim right,’* wo would slate that, owing to the very groat' excitement .which prevailed at the time, this expression may have been. misunderstood, although one witness testifies lo the words, 11. is more than probable (hat ho (Prof. M*C.) only.-remarked that “Afr.

Mr s C/(airma« and Gentlemen;—lam notin tho habit of public speaking; kilt I wish to slate why it is that 1 have concluded to unite myself with the Democratic parly. I havo bocfi a mombor of the Whig parly, but 1 have not been on Inationtivo ob server of the tendencies of measures—of carises and effects/ From observation I am satisfied that tho measures of Iho Democratic. parly ,are belter adapted to promote,the happiness of the popple, as well as their greatest good, (him arc tho 'measures of tlio Whig party. The legislation of the Whig party, when in power, has for its objects to confer special privileges Qpoti classes and individuals,. Look at their grants of peculiar.privileges lo chartered com panies—their desire to give those companies all the advontagcs'thoy can over the community, and not to make them responsible for what thoy'may do;-. Loqk at their desire to exempt banking institutions froifi being responsible fur tho payment of their just debts. If an individual in tho community contracts a debt ho must pay it, il’lio has. unyliiing io pay with; bill by Whig legislation a number of individuals compo sing a,banking coirrpany may refuse.to pay their dpbts,anff yet bo rolling, In"luxury at (ho,time— "clothed In purple and fine linen"—when their ere* dilors are in want of many of Ihonccessorios ofltfe. This is wrong. 11 is -unjust and ungrateful, to euy nothing ot its being ungenerous nnd heartless. Thp policy of the democrats is to protect tho people in every way they cun-—looking upbn every man in tho communfty Os tho equal ofhrs neighbor, ami entitled equally to the benefits of Government. The. Whigs on the other hand, core nothing for tho people, but form a kind of mutual insurance company among tho loaders in order lo give those -favored few all the ml. vantages they can, at (ho expense, of course, of tho mosses. There Is a want of patriotism In all this which I do not like, and which the laboring men of tho country should not Jlko, if they had their eyes open to seo their own interests. Tho Whig parly is 1 all self, and cares nothing for tho good of tho country. The Dcmocratio’policy cannot be selfish if the mom bcrs'of that party would try to make it so. As soon as they would try to make the democratic party oth erwise than the friend, of the peoplo.and ofrightand justice/ (hoy would no ' longer bd democrats, and. would ostracise themselves in (he attempt.- It has often bcch tried ;by designing men. Men‘.may change While principles are eternal.” It is because, therefore,,that I believe the’ democratic policy Js the true and just policy, that 1 have joiotd'lhe.democra tic party, and Intend hereafter, from now oh hence forth to vote the Democratic ticket. [A similar note as that addressed to Mr. Allen was also addressed to Mr. Peter Baker,, who responded lo it in nearly the same manner, and transmitted a copy of Ins speech, which follows.] REMARKS OF MR. BAKER. Mr, Chairman t —X concur moat fully arid cordially. With my friend who has just addressed this meeting, and helievo. thot oven more might bo said ab lo tbo want of patriolism'displayed; by the Whigs; I 100, have been a Whig,but I acknowledge that I was de coivcd in tho tendency of their measures. There is not only a want of patriotism in .the tendency of their measures, but there is a manifest want bfilin.a por tion oflhe.’Whig parly, when the country is in dan. ger or in a war .with a .hosUlrf, power* Look at the doctrines now of a portion of Clio Whig press oflhis country. They say . that the war with Mexico is u Uiyust dnd unrighteous,' 1 * and that our armies are a sett of “ dul-throalsand rMtrdererS ! n I cannot thus see it. I believe that we have Just csUse, Of wdt.with Mexico, and that the Whigs of .the present day are giving as much “ aid and cowtoßT” lo tho enemy as did tho Blue-light Hartford Convention Fcdcrallsts in the Idstwar with Great Britain,or as did the Tories, of the Revolution. They always think’ their bwri country wrong, while they defend with zeal (ho ene mies of that country ! How, can wo account for this ? There is no other- good reason limn their na* tural hatred to Republican institutions, and the desire for every calamity to befall thchi! Thus it was with the Tories of tho Revolution. They would rather have seen the Kino of Enolan6 subdue, the people of this Country and make them slaves, than (0 have scon the rights and equality of tho people pro claimed from the house-tops, ns they Were in the Inn mortal Declaration of Independence. So in the last war, Tho, Federalists were hostile to it because a democratic Administration Was In poWqr, which,was determined to maintain the rights of the nation.; — Tho democrats of that day,foilght for “ free trade and sailor’s rights.” The Federalists bared for neither, and denounced tho war, said it was “Jim Madison’s warf’ ond resolved that it was “ not becoming a moral arid religious people to rejoice over the victo ries achieved by our arms!” Now, tho Whigs suy this is “ Jimmy Polk's umi*,V and show tho same want of patriotism as was displayed by the Federal ists and Tories at oilier periods of our history. Thu Whigs sometimes deny that they are Federalists, and say that the Democrats are the Federalists. I once thought so myself, but 1 was deceived, and I am wil ling to acknowledge it.. “ By their fruits ye shall knowthem,” and the fruits of the Whig parly ore at present, opposition lo a jiisl and rlghtcolia war, and the true Interests of their own country* And what else did tho Federalists of the-Inst war do? .What else did tho Tories of llio Revolution do? I have come lb tho conclusion therefore, that tho Whig par ly ore tho samo in principle with cVcry party that has opposed the democracy since the foundation of the Government, while I soo plainly (hat tho dolno cratic party ore tho true friends.of theit* country and the.rights of man. 1 hero proclaim, that I intend to support democratic men and measures, ul our next election, dnd vote for “ honest FRANK B11UNK”. atld the whole Democratic ilekett ■ From the' rcnn*ylvonlhri. Tile Boitutloß of Rilhcrh Admiulstratlpili 1. Tho incorporation of a. UnilctlgSUUs Bank, with a capital of thirty.fiVo millions of dollars—in opposition.to tho wlll of tho, pbople—by aid of pur chased votes, and under tho garb of repealing the Stale lax. This flagrant outrage Was commenced in deception, matured by a system of Wholesale bri bery, and ended in plundering the people to ah cnor mous extent. This was the first of the promised golden fruit.of. a Federal administration* ' 2. Tho passage ofanodius poll tax, repugnant In ita very nature to rcTObfioati principles, and tolerated only by, tho miserable'serf* of Russia., In this, high Imndcd act of tyrannical cloven foot was clearly exposed. 3. Apportioning lim i-hale* or* In other words*gcr. rymnmlaringil, sons to silence tho majority* andgivc tho minority the rule—giving one Federalist as much influence at the ballot-box* as fourteen honest* Intel ligent Democrats. 4. The commencement of the fa nidus Treasury* tappef—the Tape Worm—beginning no to/iere* ond ending ih the mountain's; Upon this useless work thousand of dollars were expended* merely to graft, fy the pride or the Cupidity of a single man. For had ih&projeet been consummated, H could have rcsul* ted in no good* as the Furnace which it was inlcn ded to servo has since blown out and blown up. 5. A Proclamation offering an immense sum of money for tho detection of the incendiaries of tho Abolition Hall, where practises wore tolerated and virtually approved* revolting to humanity, white tho arrest of tho cold blooded murderer of young Perry, a white man* tho paltry sum of fifty dollars was of fered 1 as a reward. This was Federalism buvely bowing its kftuo to tbo dark spirit of Abolition.-, . 6. Expending tho sum of three hundred aud eigh ty.one thousand dollars, to repair the broach of tho Canal in Huntington county, for no part of which sum proper vouches were submitted to tliu Treasury Department. A. largo portion of this enormous sum of money was borrowed from tho without law and in palpable violation of the Constitution. Bri bery and.corruption stalked forth at noon ■ day* ond the oiler, made by responsible men, to do all the re. pairs necessary, for tho suni of ono hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars, was indignantly rojoc. ted. TliO'diftercnco, say one hundred and fifty thou ’ sands dollars* constituted the corruption fund for that ’ coftnly# , ’ 7. Driving (0 tho pulls whofo hands of illegal vo. ' ters to swell the vote of the Federal candidate.— 1 Those poor men were: forced ip obey* or ,to leave f tho public employ. The.heartless and unprincipled 5 agents of tho state* seizing upon tho necessities of these men, presented them tho alternative.to obey oi starve. 8. Publishing an address (o (ha Federalists oftlio Slate, advising them ‘‘lo treat tho .election as though it never took place,‘Mima inviting- (hem. to set tho law .end constitution at defiance, 1 und counselling them to'refuse to yield up their bets, and defraud their neighbors. A more wicked document never.bo. fore was endorsed by official authority. 9. Prostituting the press lo dissemination of dis cord, nndnUcmpling to inflame the vilest passions of a defeated party-threatening murder nnd civil war, and boldly proclaiming that the Democrats would have to wade in blood, if they attempted to inaugurate tho Governor whom they had clccled, 10. An appeal to arms—summoning tho militia of Iho Blnlo—making a requisition upon the National Government for regular troops la overawe thoropre* scnttitivcs of tlio people in tho discharge of their du lies, and to aid a vile mob, headed by Yonkco ad* venturers, and renegade politicians, to place men in office who had no authority to exercise their du* ties. 11. Passing (ho outrogoous Registry Law, which swindled the Democracy of (he county of Piiitadd phia out of thoir represohtiilion in the National arid Stale Legislatures! and introduced among an aston* idled and indignant people the infamous system of “ Pipe laying,'* , ' Such are some of the patriotic acts of the Rit> per administration ; and.now for the cost of some of those acts.
