STONES/MAKER'S A.AIDAVIT..--ThiS
affidavit which we publish in another col
umn, is by far the most important piece of
testimony which has yet been adduced in
relation, to the , charge of FRALTDITLENT
INSOLVENCY against-David R. Porter. If

that the said failure was talked of at the

Backing out of the Porterites.—For
some time past the Porterites have, been
boasting of the great changes against Jo.
seph Ratter in the FrieJensburg distrtct ,
an this c'hunt)i, where Joseph Ritner
re
ceived 86 votes three years ago. Some
asserted that :he would not receive in Oc
tober over 30 or 40 votes. it Ratner
man from the district, hearing a Porter
man boasting of the great changes, made
a bet of $lOO with a Porter man of this
Borough, that. Ritner would receive as
many votes iii the district, as hedid4hree
Years ago--iand the money was to be
staked on Saturday last. The Ritner
Farmer fro M Frieclensburg cane up to
the mark, and planked down the money;
when lo !, and behold the Porter man
backed out, and said that he would not
bet. We shall hear no more boasting of
the Porteritea about the great changes
against Ritnerin this district. Out friends
in that dpasict say they are now 'walling
to bet on more than 86 votes for Ratner.

The Sw•quehaniiii Register, in alluding
to the Porter Central Coinnuttee's ests•
mate lately' published in the Keystone,
says:
"They have in their late estimate given him
(Porter) 600 Majority in Susquchanna and 400 in
Braelord; mailing 1,003 in these two counties.
This ia orob4.le not 'lir from 1.000 more than
they will eel,; and if they have chalked up as
mach ton higti in proportion. in the re. o f the
state, instead 'of electing Porter by 21 they
will probably have to let Gov. Ritner to by pretty
near that majority. They give Porter 1.100 ma
jority in Luzecue. and in Tinge, Way's' and Pike
700 each, *shish from the best information we can
obtain from those counties, shows the chalking up
to be about liilhe same proportion.
1 3Ve have scarce ever entertained a doubt that
Gov. Raney would be re-elected by'a majority of
from five to litn thousand; but taking this late
p a rte ? estimate for a standard, with a dime allow
ance for chalking qp, we should think• that the
G error's majority would be at least -Mims Cr
I en y ausand.".
The Lem lstoten Ajuir.—We have an
extra issued Lfrota the office of the Lewis
town Gr.zette, containing the certificates ol
severs.l respectable gentlemen. whose char
acters have been assailed by the partizans
of Porter, iand whose certificates have
been paraded before this community.—
One of the gentlemen Mr. Brothers, de
clares that he never eaw the affidavit in
question—and that he never spoke to the
woman on the subject, and that he never
gave her a cent of money in his !Mi.—
Mr. Candor, declares that he never saw
th e w oman loins knowledge—never spoke
to her in hislife—dcmt even know ber, and
never pike her a cent of money—and was
absent frotn!Lew istown when the Affidavit
alluded to ':was taken. Mr. Candor it is
known, wail in Pnttsirille about .that time.
His statement will be credited by those who
are acquainted with MM. • And a Mr.
Williams piibliay exonerates these gen
tlemen with having any thing to do with,
or even knowing anything about thr
transaction.: That he himself procured
the 4ffidavit in question himself, on the
I Ith of May last, and has it in his posses
lion. Mr. Williams is not even a Ritner
man—but-it appears that he was a antler
er by the- failure of Porter, and procured
the Affidavit fir some particular purpose
best known to l hiniselE In his nme.to the
editor of the paper, communicating these
facts,-he states i
.

'The lEtlitnr.of thertcmtmercial Herald,
who wtt believe is from Huntingdon Coun
ty, in illuilintto - lhd affidavit of John H.
Stonebteeker, says:
:'We know Hr. Stonebraker well by reputation.
and IttiOw that his character is above impeach
ment. He is one of the nowt respectable and
espeateld citizens of Culerain Township, Hunting
don Cotinty. and nearly as well known through
out the County as Hasid ft. Porter himself. His
veracity, cannot be questioned."
•
In alluding to the signatures of the per
sons who testify to the character of Mr.
Stonebreaker, he saym—
oWith some six or eight of the individuals.who
have signed the certificate, we are personally ac
quainted, and know them to be men of estimable
character. Some of them are 'Wealthy farmers,
two of Ahem physicians of, respectable standing,
and two, Mr. Cromwell and Mr. Clarke„have re
presented that county several years in the Leg
islature. —Others we know by reputation . and
can iafely say we do hot believe any motive what
ever, other than a desire to serve the cause of
truth and justice, would induce any of them to
be instrumental in giving publicity and credence
to•the above affidavit.
If Ibis affidavit be' false, we will put no faith
hereafter in the oath of man—bat if it be true,
we ask, in the name of all that man holds clear,
how can his fellow citizens support David It. Por-
ter for the office of Chief Magistrate of t a ho grey
Mate of Peonapivaisia."
The same paper also "says:

we publish to day. be nut sufficient to satisfy the
doutitstif the most incredulous as to Mr. Porter's
fraudulent insolvency. we rather think they WILL
he satiated, ire long, by another affidavit quite as
unanswerable as this. There tire others who
know some facts if they will tes tify to them.
With all these facts staring the people
in the face, is it nova direct intuit to the
honest and virtuous citizens of this Stale,
to ask the people to elect David R. Por
ter Governor?
111 Worthy Example.—The Salem Gazette in
recording the recent demise in Paris, whither he
had 'one in the hope of restoring his health, of
W. k.. Payne, Evq. of Boston, aged 34, subjoins
the following 'neutron of exemplary honesty, more
honorable to the character of the deceased than
the moat aplended mausoleum or extensive legacies
could purchase:—
liis.father died insolvent, leaving four children,
and a full discharge wan givenby each of hie cre_
dizoni,,upon receiviog such proportionate dividend
as the executor was able to pay.
Upon the death of his unmarried aunts, Mr.
Win E. Payne, inherited from them a large estate,
And immedtaely sent to all Kis father's creditors,
not are donation, but as final dividend out of he
father', effects, the full balance of all the debts
due from him et hiZ decease. The whole cum
thus distributed, it is belieied, exceeded 11/0,000.
The memory of such ac act as this is a rich
inheritance to be .transmited from generation
to generation.
