We have shown heretofore, by the Judge's own evidence and the evidence of others, that he was the great financier that started this Bank without the capital being paid in as the law required: -The + "Surplus Stock Company" was the agency in the affair. We will now qaote from the report of the Commissioners - who ..investigated it last sum mer; that our readers -may. see .in what light they regarded the transictioil: , . • "Upon the 27thNovernber, 1843, the direc tors of the Bank s Oissed a resolution authoriz ing an assignmenC or- transfer of the surplus' stock to the Bank, and that the - stock noses thereof shouiribe same day the transfer was made accordinly. The amount:Of sur plus stock so trans ferred to t'te Bank,is stated upon the Transfer; book, to be sixteen hundred and thirty-six shares; amounting to eighty-one thousand eight` . hundred dollars. The whole capital stock being one hundred thousand dol .. - - I"ifflou r isnal..el4 by individuals intheir own right.. Thi evidence is clear that the surphtsittoch was aerie actual lypiid in, and !Ulfno artificaterwere . erer sued therefor. The ten percent. in Towanda 'money, paid thereon at the sale, and the specie loan of Faxon,' were arranged by the Bank, the stock' ConiPany eventually being subjected to no responsibility or loss. The stock notes were - simply used or held by the bank for a time, and eventually cancelled by the Directors 'Without payment. The whole transaction in relation to the surplus stock WAS IN OPEN . AND KAORANT Via. LATION OF LAW, AND THE GROUND ;WORK' OP THE SUBSEQUENT MISMA SAGEMENT AND DISASTERS OF THE INSTITUTION." , Oar 'readers will , see that $Bl,BOO of the stock Was held by ''Wm. Jessup dr, C 0.," and was never paid in: bin that they gave - their notes fdr it, ,and niter the Bank commenced businesS, THOSE NOTES WERE CAN. CELLED, and we repeat it, ' 'without one far. thing trier being paid on them;" and well do the Conimilsioners say, that transaction was 'the ground work of the subsequeni :misman agement and , disasters'of the institution: l — but Wm— Jessup was at the bottom of it! - I It is all very true that a loan of some 826,- 000 was obtained through Allen & Patron on the pledge of those stock notes, bat it was merely a low; and afterwards paid back by the toile to them.; If $26,000 was paid in good faith on those notes for stock, how could they have amounted to $Bl,BOO when curdled? Add the 828,000 to the $81,900 and you have an excess over what thetharter called for, aside front that held by individuals ih their ] oym right! _lt was ieganied by the Bank as a ; Loa* and the evidence is clear, say the Coln-1 mhtsicufers,that. "Mt surplecs stock was never sc taialipatif in; anettheil »o cent, were ever issued thertfor." .The ten per cent. in Towan da money,paitt,thereon at the sale; and the SPECIE IRAN of , Allen & Paxon, mere ar ranged by the Bank, the stock Company even tually, being_ subjeeted to no responsibility or loss," .'lt, was never actual capital, for, how much does it increase a man's wealth to bor row $26,000 and then turn round and paythe debt with it? We come•now to another - lawless transac tion of the stock company, headed by this bank saint, Hon. Wm. Je.ssup.. The law of inCorporation, in the serenth section, reads as.follows ;,L.-." nor 'Shall, said *ni purchas4; any, nor ;shall any loan be made upon the.pledge Wethick it must be plain to any mind, that those stock notes 'represented the stock or capital of *the Bank., Thin will not, we pro isetue,,,be denied,even by those who.gasethem. indeed, they were given for that purpose, andd.

By-the law of incorporation only a specified: nuniber of shares, (twenty, we believe,) could , be taken by ono man.— Hence, the stock company must evade that provision' in order to carry put their nefarious purposes. - Well, Hie Honor, learned in the law, was equal to the -emergency. He could, and did, devise a plan whereby all difficulty was obviated. From two to fifty shares each were distributea among our citizens, entered on the bo - oks as though bid off by them in good faith, when in fact those persons never knew that'their names were used in such'a connection, till the publication of the Report of the Commissioners ! Thus were hundreds of shares disposed of, and men who never had anything ,to do with the bank, and never eonn tenanced the bastard thing, drawn into it and made to appear as actors in the drama. Iq l i - deed, we , have heard the -Bank men point to those,very,persms and say that they were par ties to the, swindle! 0! never, - nerer did we dream 'that this community had men, oven in high places, ap parently so lost to -every principle of virtue and integrity, as to cast aside, like a garment, every obligation of Religion and morality, stul tify their own consciences, and seize upon the names and reputation of their fellovi-eitizens, spotless and pure, and drag them down to their own disgraceful level., Never was a commu nity more-outraged and never were the outra ges more bold and desptrate. To sustain themselves in their'iniquity, the reputation of an angel is none too pure to be sacrificed,. the sanctuary of God to be polluted, and the name of Religion to be disgraced. The form of Justice lies bleeding on the altar before which. they pay their, unhallowed devotions, while 'Mercy weeps that she has ever interposed in their behalf! `We have often been asked if those stock I notes cannot be collected by the bill holders- We answer, most assuredly they can if Justice can be done. Nothing is more clear and cer tain. But of what avail, citizens of Susque hanna, will it beto bring, suits on them, so long as the great High Priest of the concern, is either on this Bench or 'on the Supreme --trer-siten—ciliiiiiiianFes;ThisTfirtinatraitrie ' wildest day-dreana. The supporters of Judge Jessup here are the men most deeply implica ted. Yes, the' truth must, be told, the. object, above all others, of placing this Bank finan-i cies en the Supreme Behelr, is to hedge up the way for the final redemption of the Bills. • They know' it must-come—they know that there are men ready to collect, at all haz mils; the amount of those stock notes .for the i purpose of redeeming the money therewith; hence this anxiety to place the Captain of the gang where he can defend the Corporals.— Will the citizens of Susquehanna county, Whigs and Democrats, and to carry it out? Will they be robbed and plundered and tram pled upon, and then step up to the ballot-box and Voluntarily part with the reins of Justice 1 that they now hold in their hands? It seems to us not. It 'seems rather, that they will tell Hen. Wm. Jessup -in a voice that he will understand—"We have long enough been out raged—we have long enough been deprived of our rights by your interference, and we'll phi you now, - sir, where you'll interfere 'llo longer. We have now ; the power in our own hands, and we mean to exercise it, The day of retribution, long wiShed for, has coma, and I fearfully shall fall on your head.

I We intended when we commenced this arti cle to have introthiced some ." documeiatary ' evidence," whieh we have in our possession,. and which we can-produce in Judge Jessup's own hand writing, showing his connection with the misnamed St. John.

One of the issues that have , been raised in the canvass; is tho Compromise-of tlui list Con gress, and singular enough each party assumes to be its special friend and supporter. As fitr as parties can bo bound by, resolutions, and wo must Confess they are rather slender reeds, to, repoite upon, both the Whigs and. Demo crats of Pennsylvania occupy the same posi tion, in:respect of their relation to, and affec- tion for the • Compromise. Within the• last month, both have held conventions, and the following resolutions, showing forth the faith of each were adopted DEmOCRSTIC BIGI t ER RESOLUTIONS. Reso'red; That the Dethoeratie party . of Pennsylvania are true to the Union, the Con stitution an 4 the laws, Resolied, That the adjustment measures of the last Congress shall be faithfully ob served and respected by. the Whigs. Resolved; That an unalterable determi nation to, maintain the supremacy of the Con stitution and laws,has been and is now, one of our -cardinal doe trines, and that While others have faltered, the history of the Whig party demon strates that, in the Storms of adversity or the sunshine of pros perity, this guiding star of our country's hope.has never been dimmed by its action or council. , The meaning could not well be con veyed more effectually through the medium of language differing in terms. They were the only resolutions passed affecting the Compro mise; and although the Whigs rejected a res olution that was offered, especially re-affirming the Fugitive Slave Law, upon the ground that such a movement was superfluous, the propo sition being embraced jo the above resolottons: yet the Democrats have no advantage in ;this particular, for not even the attempt was made by their Convention.to pass any such resolu tion. and will failliftilly oh- some and execute,- so far as, in theM lies, all the measures of Ccini. promise adopted ,by the' Iste Congress for the 7purpose of set- tling the question aris- . mg out of domestic slavery, and this not only from a sense of duty as good citizens of this republic, but al froM the kind and friendly feelings which they Cherish towards their 'brethren of the slaveholding States Gov. JOalklitikioll l li bielkiktg Fund. A Mass Meeting:of the Democracy of Mont gomery, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster -and Philacie Iphia counties, assembled on Satur day, August 2, at the spread Eagle, in Dela ware county. • Alexander McKeeve c Esq., ed itor, of the Upland Union, presided. Col. Big ter Awls introduced t 6 the meeting, when he addressed the people for a period of . about en-hour and a half, in a speech of remarkable clearnessobility and eloquence. We copy from the Pennsy/rania,the following paragraph from his speech, which explodes Gov. John ston's stolen and much vaunted sinking fund: The Sinking Fund, about which so much has been said, is ari Old topic. it was sug gested by Gov. Porter and Gov.. Shunk,"rec ommended, by Col4nowden, while State . ifitynty the one now in operation was reported in the Legislature in 1845, by Mr. Burrell. Besides this, if my recollection serves me right, I had the honor upon one or two occasions .of pre senting such a proposition. The law' itself is a mere piece - of machinery which any'person I might devise—the great-question was to get the money to put into it. I always found that the easiest part of my business transactions was to pay debts, If some ono would furnish the means. ! I will be perfectly - willing to pledge myself to pay the entire debt of the State if the people will find the money. The sources of revenue - sustaining, the Sinking fund were all in operation before the present administration came - into power, with the bare exception of premium upon charters,- the pro duction of which is but meagre, indeed, so far as I can discover, is the only new item of rev enue simme the death of time lamented Governor Slunk.-We, can very readily see, then, that I the measures which at present sustains the -Treasury, were adopted by preceding adminis trations,:and it can reasonably be maintained that the present administration is not justly entitled to credit for increased revenue, from. old sources, and-certainly it has had no Eigenei , in producing' increased tolls on our canal. In this platter I do not wish to he unkind, but when the measures recommended; by the de parted Shunk, are - sought to detract from his memory, and to be used to the affgrandizement. of any particular person, be he Whig or Dam- ocrat, then I feel it my imperative duty, so far as - I arnable, niake a fair and honorable ex position of such schemes."
