It is with the most poignant sorrow and regret
that we announce that Gov. Shank, feeling-that his
days were numbered, and his pilgrimage upon
Earth last drawing to its close, has deeme,l it his
" duty to return to the freemen of this Conimon*ealth,
.., the important and honorable trust, they recommit.
ted into his hands, but a few months since, by a
majority, which, while it was a proud tribute to thd
manner in which he had guarded their rights, was
overwhelming and decisive.
- On Sunday morning, (9th inst.,) Gov. Shank
was attacked trith7a severe hemorrhage of the

Harrisburg, July 9th. 1818.
The. undersigned were present at the execution
of the abovb iastrumeat el writitt.7..
This iiiipertant step was voluntarily determined
mine by Gov. Shenk, after full and mature deliber
ation. We are assured that not a word had been
said to him upon the subject, by any of his eabinet,
hut that he was only influenced by his devotion t,
the interests of the people and a desire that they
should hive an opportunity to elect a Governor of
their own choice at the coming election. Any one
who knew Gov. Slunk, would have been slow tp
approach him for such a purpose, with mere path!.
cal or partizan reasons. His known character M.
pilled such advances. Hie wfiett the king of Ter
eirelipproached, and there wag a possibility of his
beloved Cominonwealth being under Whig rule
fer half a term, after the people had.repudiated so
distinctly such 'a government, he did not hesitate.
No patriot could have hesitated, after the frightful
history of federal misrule which but a, few Fears
previous discloses: It is a proud closing of his politi
cal career, and renders hint still stronger to the De
mocracy of the Keystone State. It shows the firm
devotedness which has so carefully guarded the
:pest interests of the State with unwearied zeal It
is hard to give up such a Man, and feel that the,
Commonwealth has lost his protection and guid
ance. Should it please Divine Providence to ye •
store him to health and itseful7ie.,:s, his future sphere
is bounded by the confines of no single State
sl,ould de be removed to that "bourne from whirl
no traveller returns," we mourn him not elude—a
Nation's tears fall with ours, and a Nation y ,feels
equally with us, that sound republican princ*?les
have lost an able champion and mankind a isette
- _
factor. H 1 hen that iear pales our Republic' . isses
its Mitre. Like the lamented SILAS WRIGII er
iegs from the best hearts of our land, will Pahl
to his memory, and a simultaneous and general
tribute be given to his manly virtues and Roman
firmness. Ilk administration will be a bright ex-.
renplar for those who may .hereafter guide the ship
of state.

Upon au °cession thus fraught with interest, we
have convened to adopt the incipient measures for
the selectionof a successor. To freemen, the ex
ercise, of the right of suffrage is at all times impor
tant. At the pre.sent junetureit cannot be too high
ly appreciated, and the ensuing contest becomes
oue of the most momentous that has occurred in the
history of one State. Connected. as it necessarily
will be, 'with the choice of the Chief Magistrate of
the United States , representatives in Congress, and
in the State Lea stature , the magnitude of the ca can Scarcely be over-estimated.
, Fortunate wilt it lie for the people of 'Pennsyl
vania, if they shall secure the services of a Chief
Magistrate, who will make the example of Fassris
R. SIIVNIC the guide and rule of his action—if he
,be, like him, honest, firm , and sound, in his potit
#ic al of being swerved by the im
portunities of those interested in special legislation
—and ready at all hazards to protect the industri
ous masses from the encroachments of the insidous
few. if such an individual be nominated, as we
believe there is no reason to doubt, he will be tri
umphantly elected. Of this 'tact no better proof
can be afforded than the enthusiasm with which
the people rallied to the re-election of Gov. Stress
last October. Under his administration all the cher
ished principles of Democracy have been fearlessly
vindicated and upheld—the most rigid system of
economy and reform has been adopted—the inter
est on our public debt has been promptly paid—and
a reduction made on the debt itself.
The crisis demands another suck man. The
Senate of our State is in the hands of the Federal
foa. To secure the popular branch they will strain
every nerve. Questions of vital magnitude, grow.
ing out of the currency and kindred subjects, and
involving the best interests of the people will be agi
tated. 01 whin transeendant importance, therefore,
that the Etecutive be a man of uninapeached inte

cause of popular rights Most earnestly do we;
therefitre, exhort our republican brethren, to buckle
on their armor for the impending' struggle. Our

and our party will not only summon to its standard

The following is a seminary of this sanguinary
affair. The strife Leman in consequence of a nits
tuiderstandire; of a Aram used by the Mayor to a
deputation of workmee. A person who had taken
a prominent part in the affair of May, was acting
spokesman for the deputation, when the Mayor
asked themilf they were staves which being re
ported, served as the signal for the outbreak.
On Thursday night, the 26th of June, barricades
were erected and the National Guard turned out.—
The insurgents seized all that protion of the city
about the Fanbnurg St. Antoice, and threatened the
the Hotel de Ville.
On Friday, there was some fighting, in which
the instegents were successful. Lamartine rode
with the stall of Gen. Cavaignac to. quell the in
surrection, but without effect.
• Artillery was used, but at night the insurgents
had gained ground and strength.
' Ou Saturday, he Assembly declared its session
permanent. The Government resigned the supreme
executive power, which was given to Ga. Cavaig.
Lae, who declared Paris in a stale of siege. The
I whole day was spent in fighting, eveept a lull dur
ing a thunder storm, The war of artillery and
musketry was terrible.
On Satmday night the state of the - capital was
awful. Troops were pouring in from the neigh
boring departments. The red flag of the Socialists
was raised, and the fighting continued.
On Sunday, the President of the Assembly an
nounced that the Government had completely suc
ceeded besuppreesing the revolt on the left side of
the city, and that G. m. Cavaignae had given the in
surgents on the right bank of the Seine till 10 o'clock
to surrender. If they did not do so by that hone,
preparations had been made to bring the heaviest
artillery to bear upon them, • and no doubt remain
ed that the insurrection could be put down. This
live, however, was not realised. The fighting
continued during Sunday with tearful loss of life.
On Monday, Lambicieres arrived with reinforce
ments for Cavaignae. After two hours terrible
slaughter, the troops of the city, the insurgents be
itr.Aslain, captured or scattered in every direciion.
? The last band took refuge 0
in. the Cemetery of
Pere a Chaise. . • •
On Tuesday theinsurrection was definitely inch
ed. The loss-of life has been terrible.
The Archbishopof Paris was shot while approach
ing the insurgents to endeavor to propose peace..
The editor of the Pere Dischame was shot in the
head. The number of prisoners taken of the insur
gents is over 5000. A commission has been ap
pointed to try those taken with arms in their hands.
The insurgents, and especially the women en
gaged in the affair, treated the prisoners with en
exampled barbaric, cutting off their hands and feet,
and to:turitr , them in every conceivable manner.
Not less t han e three thousand stand of arms were
taken.
Further partieularsof this sanguinary affair will be
found below.
The commenement of the rebellion appears to
have been made by a deputation of ouvriers, who
wailed übon M. blare of the Luxemburg. He lis
tened to their g rievances . but observing that their
spokesman h ad been active in the affair of the 15th
May, said to the men, "you are not the slaves of
this man,you can stale your own grievances." This
expression was distorted amongst the workmeu
that M. Mare had called them slaves, and it seems
to have been the signal for the conspirators, who
had organized a vast movement to commence their
operations.
On Thursday night, the 22d, of June, the first
barricade was raised, and the troops and the Na
tional Guards called out. On Friday, the 23d, the
insurgents possesesitthemselves of all that portion
of the right hank of the river Seine stretching from
the Fauberg - St. Ant: ine to the left eratik. They occu
pied all that portion called the Cite, the Fauborgs
St. Jacques. The communication of the insurgents
between the two banks of the river were maintain
ed by the possession of the Church St. Gervaie, a
part of the quarter of the temple, the approaches of
Notre Dame and the bridge of St. Michael.
By these extensile lines of operation, the insur
gents occupied a vast portion of the most defensi
ble part of the city, and actually threatened the Ho
tel
.de Vile, which, if they had succeeded in tak
ing, might have secured the first victory on their
stile.
On Friday, there were partial conflicts, but Are
insurgents seemed to be occupied more at fortifying
their positiort, than in actually fighting, but what
ever success the government troops may had in
various quarters where conflicts kook place, as at
St. Dens and St. Martin, now appears that the en
thusiastic courage of the insurgents repulsed them
and even beat them in other parts of the city. M.
Lamartine rode with the milt:of Cavaignie, through
Paris, to quell the insurrection ; but it was evident
that nothing but the power of arms could compel
the Insurgents to yeikl. The Government forces
were divided into three divisions, and large masses
of troops were brought.to bear with artilleiy upon
the position of the insurgents : but still Friday pass
ed, and the insurrection had evidently gathered
strength.
On Saturday, the 23th, the National Assembly
declared itself in permanence, Paris was placed
in a state of siege : the executive power was delega
ted ateolutely-to Cavaignac, and at half-past 10, the
members of the • executive bad resigned. They
dealared that' they should have been wanting in
their - duties and honor, had they withdrawn before.
As sedition is a public peril, they only w thtlrew
before a vote of the Assembly. Reports poured in
every.hoor to the Assembly—and, as the
genre arrived of the slaughter of the National Guards,
and the fait' of one g eneral after ano th er, who was
killed or wounded b e t' the insurgents, the sensation
became deep and alarming.
Various proclamations were issued by Cavaignaie
to induce the insurgents to lay down their arms,
bat to no effect.
The 'whole of Saturday was employed in des
perate fighting on both sides,"escept a Intl during
a frightful thunder storm.
. .
During the whole of Friday Mee, and until 3 o'-
clock on Saturday, the roar of the artillery and the
noise of muskets were incessant. In this frig,htful
state of thines ; the Assembly bet aged not a little
alarm. A'creputation from the Assembly were pro.
posed to go and entreat the crimbruants 19 cease this
fmtrcided strife, but all the soma:wive reports prim.
ed that the insurgents were bent on holy - yielding up
the stron . le with their tires, and their valor was
only surpassed by their desperate resolution.
On Saturday night, at 12 &clock. the capital was
in ezi awful state, Fighting continued with untra
ted fury- Large numbers of troops poured in from
all the neOboring de nein:tents, but still the insur
gents, harmer rendered their positions almost im
pregnable. resisted more or less efloctually aft the

Peeing Court, were the last subdued. The; lad
band took refuge in the celebrated carnet/ o
Pierre la Chaise, but tie Guard Mobiel hunte d it e

On Tuesday the insurrection was definitely gneo.
ed. The loss of life has been terrific—no fewer '
than fourteen general officers had been put hors de
combat—a greater loss than in the most splendid en
gagement
of Napoleon. Amongst those who fell,
are Getters! Megrier, and Generals Deart and ;ken.
Generals Charcoluel and Renault, and others, se
verely wounded. Four or five members of the
National Assembly are amongst the killed, and es
many more wounded., But the most touching death
is that of the Archbish op of Paris. The vegetable
prelate on Sunday volunteered to go to the 'insur
gents as a messenger of peace. Cavaignac said
that smh a step was full of danger, but this Clositinn
pastor persisted. He advanced attended by his two
vicars towards the barricades, with an olive branch
borne before him, when he was ruthless shot in his
1 groin, and fell mortally wounded. The venerable
1 patient was ordered by the insurgents to the Jimmie
, hospital, in St. Antony, where he received the lad
sacraments, languished, and since died. ;
The editor of the Pere Dadusne M Laroche, w
shot in the head at the barricade Rochechoart, wh ere
in the dress of an ourrier, he was fighting at t e
head of a party of insurgents. - ;
It will probably be never correctly ascertained to
what extent the sacrifice of human life in this frigt
lel struggle has reached. Some compote the Ices
on the !fart of the troops at from 9,000 to 10,000
plain, but we hope this is exaggerated. The nein
bet of prisoners captured of the insurgents exceeds
5,000. .-All of the prisons aie filled, as well as die
dungeons and vaults of the Tuilleries , the Louvre,
Palms Royal. the Chamber of Deputies and the
Hotel de Ville. ;.: A militarycommission has already
been appointed to try such as were found with arms
in their hands, and they will probably be deported
to the Marquesas Islands, or some •tranSailantic
French colonyy. A decree has been proposed with
that object. We have not space to recount the many
acts of individual heroism. Many:soldiers exhibited
sublime courage. ,
On the other hand, the savage cruelty with which
the insurgents waged war, almost exceeds' belief.
They tortured some of their own prisoners, cut ' off
their hands and feet, and inflicted barbaritietworthy
of savages. The women were hired to po'won the
wine sold to the soldiers, who drank it,re4ledind
died. It seems to be believed generally, " ti f the
insurgents had succeeded in following - u their
most admirably conducted plan of operatic» &bay
ing advanced their line and possessed th - selves
of the H hotel de Ville, and followed up the. attacks
along the two banks of the river, that the w bolecity
ti t e
would have been given up to pillage. In ed the
words pillage and rape are said to have n in
scribed on one of their banners. Not less 1um30,..
000 stand of arms have been seized and captured
in the faubourg St. Antoine alone.

OHIO TIIVS FOR OMl2l.—The Columba% Statesman

believes that General Taylor can earry Ohio. It is
a Cass State--easity so. The democratic vote will
be east, with hem and there-a solitary exception,.
for Cass and Butler ; while federal Vote, will be
cut up anti divided. In some counties a majority
of the whip vote will be east against Taylor." The
Statesman further says that " the Ohici State bear

, It is said that lewd women are more ready and
more nuisy in rebuking the stns of a frail sister who,
by her departure from virtue, places herse'f upon
a level with themselves, than those of the purest
delicacy of sentiment and conduct. Upon this prin
ciple we supposed, we may amount for the holy
indignation expressed by some political bawds at
the course of the " barn burners" and their candi
date Mr. Van Berea. Rebuke comes with little
grace and less Awe from men who have all their
lives been engaged in violating Democratic usages,
opposing 9 nominations, breaking pledges and aid
nig the enemy. The course resolved upon by the
barn burners, is certainly to be regretted and de
precated as jeopardizing the safety of the Demo.

animadversion of men who for the granticatioo of
their own mean and selfish ends or bad passions,
never hesitated to strike the deadliest blows at the
Democratic party.—Wilkabarre Farmer. . ,
"SATAN RENVKING Stst."—The Pennay(rtmmn,
we perceive, has just published a letter from Simon
'Cameron, bitterly denouncing Mr. Van Bnren for
countenancing the movement of -the Barnburnem.
If our worthy cotemporary is driven to the low ex
tremity of belaboring Mr. V. with sucha.rnisera
ble apostate as Simon Cameron, (a man who owes
his unworthy elevation to the U. S. Senate . by the
foulest intriguing with the Whigs against the
far nominee— who opposed, and strove to defeat
the re-election of Governor Shut*, last fall—who
opposed the administration upon the tariff question'
—and who has been denounced by the Pennsylva
nian times without number for his rottenness,) we
say if such is the extremity of our cotemporary, he
is to be pitied—he had better give him over in die
pair. The name of Cameron is a virus to any cause
he espouses.—.Mourrose Democrat.
jIII Bi.oostsnean, PA.—The COlumbia Democrat of
last Saturday says that the Hood caused by heavy
(rains of Sunday l a st, swop away Mr. Isaiah Cole's
Mills, situated on the head waters, and destroyed
severalf County Bridges over the stream—causing'
a loss of some 6'5,000 to Co}nmbia county, to ea)
nothing of the damage sustained by individuals in
the loss of private property, wt ich is immense and
very general along the stream. The tiers of the
aqueduct over Fishingereek, below Bloomsburfi,
were also washed under, so far as to cause the
sinking of two spans of the Aquednet. This eir
,ctitostanee caused the suspension of Canal naviga-"
don a few days. It was repaired on Thursday—
the water again let in, and the navigation resumed.
A great eleven mile. foot race came off at Buffa
lo, on the 4th of July. Ton Indians participated,
and also the well-known Steeprock and Armstrong
—the latter of whom gave in immediately after win
ning the eighth mile, from a pain in the • stomach.
The race was won by an Indian named Coffee : the
eleven miles having been done in. one hour five
minutes and seven seconds—a woo4erful exhibi
tion,,truly, of man's fleetness and power of endu
rance.—New York Erpress.
MR. MITCIIEL AT BEUNIUDA.—We learn from Ber
muda says the New York Sua, - that Mr. Mitchel is
suffering, from asthma, and will not be placed on
the public works until he recovers his health, or is
reported fit by the medicalsuperintendent. He has
a small ?abin to himself on board the convict hulk
Dmmttlary. It is also reported that he dined with
the captain of the steamer So:large' on the whole
passage out.
MFRPK:ROIYS AFFRAYS IN TENNIWEE.—Wie learn
from the Memphis Eagle of the 26th ult., that Mr.
Thomas McCalla was stabbed thteugh the heart the
day previous, by Mr. John Edgar, at the livery sta
ble of the latter, and instantly. killed.. The-.circum
stances were such as to create ~n eat excitement and
threaten summary justice' ilidd'itie accused, lie

At Randolph, Tenn., Mr. I. C. Kneebmd, a mer

with Mr. Henry Cotton. • He was shot through the
heart and died, i nstantly. •
Two lawyers, Mr. Mitchel an'd A. M. Rosenbo

affray at Colombia, Tenn. Mr.Rosenboroug,ll was
dangerously wounded.
GEN. TAllLOtt l e Pnovisotsst.—Gov. Jones VMS till
able to define Gen. Taylotjs position on the proviso.
He did not know what it was. He &diet-edthe ",en
eritl was inclined to leave the matter to Congress e '
at least he thought so. But Gov. Jones_ did not hes
itant to declare , himself "dead against it," and to
speak on thissubject, for the4rhok south, except Gen

Jones said on this point • extrept that both he and
Gen. Taylor owned slaves; bought and honestly
paid for---and not one of them stolen.
