Nor will it ccuse him that several Democrats were weak enough, to be made his tools in the business. 'All that esti be urged against them is that they voted, or five or six out of thirty-six, voted for the 'Current Bank Note" . Resolution, offered by the , Judge. According to the Rqiit crzs logic, there was no harm, in that, as the Editor, with the assistance of his s tgacions "Tyro" whose " dad is under the hay," makes out payment in Bank notes to be specie payment; and the Judge more learned, still, once attempted to convince the multi tude that POTATOES were SPECIE TENDLR Now, tee say that they did wrong, that they were found - in very poor corupany, and, so far as their acts merit it, we have not one word _of excuse to offer for them. - Common* sees who they are' and they must take the fire.— Had they acted is did Messrs. Puller;llartley, and Lyon; had they followed them instead of', " Wm. Jessup, & C 0.," how much more envi able would their positio,n be' now. But we ask the reader to bear in mind that we said distinctly, week before last, that the Resolu tion to pay in Current ,Bank notes, would probably have produced no very bad cause- I quencen had it been carried out in good faith.' But it was not. It was the first step in the career of fraud, and got through by Judge Jessup for the pinpose of bringing about the ! frand; viz : to enable hiin to bring that Tow-1 anda money here for the payment of the ten ! per cent. on the "Surplus Stock COMpany's"! notes. That was the real object of Judge Jes. sup in passing the Resolution, and mind you, that object was concealed by the Judge from those voting for it, as well from- Some of the whips as democrats. Only those whom he knew to be faithful; and ready to embark witli a liim in the dark design,whether in polities they were Whigs or'Deatocmts, were let into the secret l i of.the" Surplus Stock Company" being form;' ed,-; That. Resolution was intended to aid in consummating the fell purpose, as 'sufficiently appears by the, fact that the most of those who voted for the Resolution were - not members of the company, and the testimony of Judge Ty. lei before the Commissioners is, that he never 1 dreamed that the stock tars not ' paid in till some three or, four'years after the Bank start- eci business, and then he refused to have any thing to do with it.' So designing and artful was Judge Jessup In the whole operation 'of getfing g o that :Stock Company, ihat persons liVing here, and owning stock which th/y, had :paid in'' gold and silver. as didJudge•Tyler„' never knew that such p Company 'existed, till I it - had accomplished its law-forbidden iturpose, and cancelled' its notes at the.

That:WOuld , not help the Judge's cause; for that payment was' not made.. The- Towanda Money, was only a sham, was never paid in good faith,.but was returned to the Batik. the next day, and never used afterwards in any waY, as capital in this Bank. Indeed it places him ;in a. worse position, by showing thnt.he not only meant to prevent s*cie pay ment, but; adding frond to fraud, he never in tended even that the Susquehanna Bank should have the rotten basis of its illustrious cotem porary, the Towanda. swindling shop! Not even those worthless rags were paid 'in good faith. TO the argument that current Bank notis constituted a good specie payment, and thatthe Act of Incorporation did not call for specie, it is sufficient to ask, why then did the Judge introduce the ReSolution. Surely he must haVe been lacking in " Wisdom" not to have known that his Resolution; on that argu mentoyas wholly superfluous and uncalled for. If we have made -such am.egregions blander, we have a precedent from the hies who aspires to Chief Justice Gibson's place. The fact is, the Act of Incorporation antici pated specie payment, and.. the Judge to.. con 'summate the unholy designs of the Surplus Stock CompAy ; to Start the Bank' without Capital regardless 'of the interests of commu dii-, set to work, coolly planned and skillfully executed on outrage 'unparalleled.; for which we hold. him accountable at the bar of just, public opinion.

We recollect, a party that printed large hand-bills . and circulated them though the country, calling upon peo ple not to Vote for Martin Van Buren, alleging 1. 1 that he was a Catholic; but never knew that party to be so particular to assure the people that they opposed no wan .fur that reason be fore. . _• We. select the following extracts from five or six similar ones, which slicer: the opinions of the Whig Press in reference to Mr. Camp bell as a lawyer, in one o the Most imp_ortant suits on record in Philadelphia, -It will .be seen That it was a Bank suit, and as Mr. Camp: bell appears to have been acting egainst the bankers, it may explain the reason why some persons hero oppose him so heartily. !

In running through a few volumes of Reports, we find the decisions of this Abolitimaidge —this Whig nominee—to have been reversed by the Supreme Court some thirteen times from "Road Case," in 3d W. & S. to Keeler vs. Vanfityle in 6 " Barr.' In a large Majority of the edges taken up, the Supremo Court ruled Judge Jessups notions of law wrong.— Hence, by force of Whig argument, he is . in com.etent! TEIAT PIETEORITE. • Our readers will recollect that we mention ed, two. 'weeks ago,.that a supposed Metorite had been found in Spring,ville, this county.— Since then have visited the Stone, and found it, to be unlike any Stones or rocks common to this section. In appearance it is much like a hard White sandstone where bro ken, though near the outside it, hasa red cast, es i though burned, It weighs near four hun dred pounds. Those who found it,antlthosewho visited it before it was retuoveu f all agree that it fell from some quarter ; breaking through the trees in : its, descent,(it was found in the woods) and burying fragments of the branches deeply under it. These-facts can be accounted for in ne other manner, than its fall. From'the fact that the surface of, the ground under it wra Still freSh, it could not have laid where it was found a go:awhile.

' . Governor Johnston and the State Debt. - The claim set up for Governor 'Johnston for the establiShment of a sinking fund and diminution of the state debt, says the Key stone, reminds - us of a character in a farce we once saw;wbo,among many other won-* *fat inventions, - claimed the discovery of a plan for liquidating the national { debt of England: It was very- simple,- 'merely to pay it off in installments of 3,6, and .9, months..: This is Governorjohnstotes plan exactly.; all that. was wanting to the inven tion of the man in the play, was the means to-makeibe payments, and ',we 011ine Gov. Johnston's sinking fund (granting bin to be the'inventor of.it would' not. do much towards,diminiabing the di.bt,' if there was no sirplus revenue to appropriate; to it.

In ' making 'this ' avowal, lie wanted to steal the thunder,and fatten on the popularity of Henry C 14., who had avowed .similar - doctrines in the Senate; when introduced a series of resolutions to amend the Constitution and restrict the ve to' power. It was like the Pilot fish follow ing the wake Of the Shark, feeding on the fragmenti that fent-can the Shark's meal. Has. Johnston consistently ;carried out this doctrine !

Fellow citizens, we must put an honest) man in office and a Union man: The times are Menaced with difficulty and danger.-: We want ante of thi iribunes of thepeOple. Such a man is Col: William Bigler. Johnston on the Stump—Strohm and the Mexican War. When William F. Johnston was running over the State ..Stump-speaking, ,he an aouncedlo the peeple the principles which I would govern his - administration in the case ' he should . be elected. 'He pretended to be a friend of the! lamented, Gen.' Taylor, and under the whigof his popularity, he sue ceeded in securing many votes: But. Gen. Taylor hai goon to his rept (peace to his ashes) and, nOw, Johnston has .associated. ] himself with John. Strohm, one of those traitors who gave aid and comfort to tke enemy, by voting against , the Mexican - War, and ereating.an impression among the Mex iean\fee that thorn was a strong Tarty in the -.United States opposed to the war. 'lt is well known r;hat this itnpression (created by the speeches - of such men as ,Strohm: and Corwin. the latter of whorct - said be - would-welcome our brave volunteers_ 'yip "bloody hands and hospitable graves") was the most serioumdifficulty our troops . had to contend with.
