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

: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. Dank. And.,
think you that all this was, done thus eovetty
with 130 intention? If Judge . Jessup was act-1

that Resolution, why did he not tell the Corn

It is,a sufficient answer : to:the argument of
the
that
the gegister, to admit even,
that "current Bank, notes" constituted a good
payment of the pereentag,c, which we do not,
atirp4. 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. Those whether Whigs. or
Democrats, who were unfortunate renough'to
be caught like poor Tray we have no excuse
to offer for:. We never Went out of our way
to show up Judge Jessup till he had the bra
zen assurance to ask - a great and honorable

We copy below a couple of. extracts from
leading Whig journals then, published in Phil
adelphia, Which speak volumes in ilivor of Hon.
James Campbell, one of our nominees for the
Supreme Bench: -He is now assailed in the
mot malignant manner, and tlie true reason
for it is sought to be Poncealed from. voters:
It is wholly Onecesky for us to state what
the reason is; - when tle people of this county
have been so recently informed that it is not
because some suppose him to be a Catholic in.
his religious opinions. 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. ! Some

Cpantioser.—The North Branch Democrat,
replying to an article‘ against:. ! Judge: - Lewis,
states some facts in reference to Judge Jessup
which ire. rather stubborn: The following
ire the Editor's remarks:
" W,e will try the qualifications of Judge
Jessup by the sane tests which. are_ applied to
Judge Lewis. It urged th:it, inasmuch as
the Supreme Court overruled the decision "Of
Judge Lewis in the caseOfthe CothrnonWealth
vs. StoutTer,' therefore Judge Lewis is incorn
petent: ;Well, suppose the argument a geed
one, andWe apply it to Judge Jessup, Where .
will he faand I What position 'will he occupy
among the jurists 'of the State We will see.
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. It has attracted no lit..
the intet,estalready, and many persons visit it
A scientific gentleman from New York
visited it last week, giving it a thorough ex
amination, and, we understand, was fully sat..
isfied that it was a genuine Metorite. Many
such instances hare.been known. in thus , and
other countries, and always attract the atten
tion of the learned anecurious. It is now in .
the possession of Mr. Geo. W. Lewis of Dim

A terrible -hail storm visited some
parts of this county the afternoon - of Friday
last. In townships we learn that fields
of grain, grass, &e., were almost wholly de
stroyed. .We have heard stories of large hail
stones that fell, some weighing nearly or quite
a qUarter of a pound ; and from the authority,
in many instances, have no reason to doubt
them. ,-The storm was not very severe here.

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.
With denim:wade legislators, canal Commis=
Blotters, auditor general and State treasurer,
and superintendents of the public Works, it
would be hard indeed to discover the instru
mentality of the'svhigs or ~their Governor

to demonstratethat this bill would operate
favorably to the fugitive, as, there we - yid
then be no reason for undue - haste -in the
proceedings to re-claim 'the fugitive: It
has been objeeteil that the Commissioners' ,
have, in some eases, acted With - too much

been because there was no secure place to
keep the fugitive, , pending the deliberation
and trial: But Governer Johnston ilea vir

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. At each -encounter they
fled - before the' valor of ,our soldiery, and
would soon have been conquered had it not
been for thigntral support of their Ameri
min sillies, one of whom Wll9 Jobn - Strohm„
