office than he now is—we'll have made an
'honest man of him by that time."
In the Schedule of Porter's debts and
Property, which was filed in the offices of
H untingdon .County, Porter acknowledged
that he owed Samuel Sturgeon. This
Schedule has disappeared from the offices
—it cannot:be found. It , was in the offi
ces when Porter was appointed Prothono
tary, and after he left them, it could not
be found. The people of Huntingdon
County do not say that David R. Porter
destroyed or removed the Schedule, but
they do say that ho Was the nnly.man liv
ing interested in its disappearance.
Extract ora letter to the editO, dated
Easrux, JUNE 2.7 th 1838
"The prospects in this county are better
for the cause of the people, titan they have"
ever been ; and the vote of Northampton
will astonish many of the Loco Focu's here,.
and abroad. Porter's majority in otirloun.
ty, cannot under any cireurreatances be mor e
than 3 or 400 at the most.' The changes
here are numerous; and of such a charac
ter as to carry weight along . with them ;
"tunny of their party, and some.of their most
influential men have left . their ranks, cut
louse from Leco Focois.m, And came out
strongly in favor of the old farmer of Wash
ington, the friend of the people, and the
Simon &Tier of the day.
There appears to be no spirit among the
Locos here, their meetings are much
smaller than we have been accustomed to
see them here; their energy has left them.

that the soeptre.had dep . artedfrom Judah,'

Mr. B. BAN:cax: I was conversing, a
few days ago, with a loco-foco, upon the
subject of the "gubernatorial candidates;',?,
while conversing with my friend, I hap.
pened to touch upon the subject of David
R. Porter's illegitimate children, remark
ing at the same time that a man of his
character ought to be discountenanced by
all true republicans. Oh! he replied, that
don't make any difference; t. M. Johnson,
Vice President of the U. S., has several,
and he is - one of our best deinocrats!!—and
then, as a retaliation, commenced abusing
our present worthy Govenor, by calling
him a "stupid old Datcleman," &c. It
makes no difference what the principles of
i
D. R. Porter are, only so that he is a tho
rough going loco foco. They (the party)
would rather vote for the t1 4 "1, if he was
a loco-foco, than vote for a WV hig. &he .was
in angel of light, (as expressed at one of
their meetings.) - These are their princi-
ples; and Well may every and Republican
tremble for the liberty of his country, if
such men get into power! Our temple of
liberty, which has raised its Tumid head to
the, heavens, will' totter and fall! and des=
potism, with all its horrors, will fill , the
happy land of Columbia with bloodshed
and death. We call upon the yeomanry.
of the Key Stine State to come forward
and support the:roma of the people, Joseph
Ritner, who uttered these sentiments, and
sentiments that should be written in letters
of gold—"Go tell them that 1 would sison
er retire to my farm in Washington coun
ty, than do what I. believe to be wrong."
We hail the stupid old Dutchman, (as the
locos call him,) as the saviour of our state!
and,. next October, we will re-elect him by
a majority of 15 000. A WHIG.

We hold these truths to be set -evident —theta')
men are created equal; that .the ate endowed-by.
their creator -with certain unalienable rights; that
anion these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. That to secure these•rights, govei n•
meets are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of'tthe governed; that
whenever any form of government becomes de
atructive to these endsot is thei right of the peo
ple to alter or abolish it. and, m institute ,a new
government, laying its foundation on such pr,in

as to them shall scent most likely to effect their
safety and -happiness. i'rudenne, indeed, will

and accordingly all experience bath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferable, than to right themselves by abol.
lathing the forms bo which they are accustomed.
But when a long train Of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a
design to reduce them under absolute depntism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
government, and to provide new guards for their
future security. Such has been the patient suf.
feranee of these colonies; and such is now the ne
ceseity, which constrains them 'to alter their form
er systems of government. ll'he history of the
reign of the present King of Great
