In the teeth of this solemn assurance, it has been proved that- the United States offs cent have been assessed. in sums bearing ' proportion to the whole amount they receive from the Treasury. for the purpose of sup porting their partizans even in State and municipal elections. Whatever, in short, has been most professed, has been least prac tised; anil it seems to have been taken for granted, 'that the American people would be satisfied with pretence, and a full toned 'as surance of patriotic purpose. The history of the last twelve years has been but the his tory of broken promises and disappointed hopes. At every successive period rf this history an exchanting, rose-colored futurity has been spread out before the people, espe cially in regard to the great concerns of reve flue. finance and currency. But these colors have faded as the object has been approached. Prospects of abundant revenue have resulted in the necessity of borrowing; the brilliant hopes of a better currency end in general de rangementotagnation and distress; and while the whole country is roused to an unprecedent. ed excitement by , the pressure of the times, every_State paper from the Cabinet at Wash ington comes forts fraught with congratela• tions on that happy state of things, whieth the wise policy of the administration is alleged to have brought about ! Judged by the tone of these papaya, every present movement of the people is quite unreasonable ; and all attempts at a change, only-so many ungrateful returns for the wise"and successful administration of public affairs ! There is yet another subject of complaint to which we (eel bound to advert, by our ven eration,for the illustrious dead, by our respec for truth, by our love for the honor of our country, and by our own wounded pride as American citizens We feel that the country' has been .dishonored, and we desire to free ourselves from all imputation of acquiescence in the paiicidal act. The late President, in a communication to Congress, mote than in ti mates, that some of the earliest and most int portantb measures r f Washington's adminis tration were the offspring of personal motives and private interests. His successor has re peated and extended this accusation, and given to it, we are compelled to say, a greater de gree of off naiveness and grossness. No man with an American heart in his bosom, can en dure this without feeling the deepest humilia. , tion, as well as the utmost scorn. The fame of Washington, and his immediate associates, is of the richest treasures of the country. His is that mune which an American may utter with pride in any part of the woe Id, and which, wherever uttered, is shouted to the skies by the voices of all true lovers of human liberty. Imputations which assail his measures so rudely, while they are abominable violations of the truth of history, are an insult to the ccuntry, end an offence against the moral sentiments apt civilized mankind. Miserable, miserable indeed, must be that cause which cannot support its party predominance, its ruinous schemes and senseless experiments, Without thus attempting to poison the I ain tains of truth, and to prove the government of our country disgracefully corrupt, even in its very cradle. Our hearts'would soils with in us, if we believed that such an t flirt could succeed ; but they must oe impotent. Neither, the recent, nor the present President, was born to cast a shade on the character of Washing ton or his associates. The destiny of both has been, rather, to illustrate by contrast, that wisdom and thosp virtues a hicli they have not imitated and to hurl blows, which the affectionate veneration of American citi zens, and the general justice of 'the civilized world, will reside' harmless to others, and powerful only in their recoil, upon themselves. If this langtiage be st rong,ao also is that feel ing of indignation which has suggested it ; and on an occasion like this,' we could not leave this consecrated spot, without' the con sciousness of having omitted an indispensable duty, had we notAhus given utterance to the fulness of our hearts, and marked with our severest rebuyi. and most thorough repro. 'ration and s'iorn. a labored effort to fix a deep and enduring stain on the early history of the government. Finally, ou this spot, the fame of which be gap with our liberty, and can only end with it, in the presence of these multitudes, of the whole country, and of the world, we declare ,our conscientious convictions that the present Administration has proved itself incapcble of conducting the public affairs of the nation in such a manner as shall preserve the Constitu tion, maintain the public liberty, and secure general prosperity. We declare wit b the ut most sincerity, that we believe its main pur pose-to have been, to continue its own power, influence, and popularity ; that to this end, it has abandoned iodiapensable but higltly re sponsible Constitutional duties ; that it has trifled with the great concerns of finance and currency ; that it has used the most teprehen sible means fur influencing public opinion ; that it ; has countenanced the application of public money to party purposes; that it seeks to consolidate and strengthen party by every form of public patronage ; that it laboriously seeks to conceal the truth from the people on subjects of great interest ; that it has shoivn itself to . selfish in its ends and corrupt in its means ;/and and that if it should be able to main /3 lain 4 self in power through another term, there is the moss imminent danger that it will plungekhe country in still farther difficulty, ,bring on still greater disorder and distress, and :undermine at once the foundations of the public prosperity and the institutions of the country. Men thus falsest) their own profeasions,4ale to the 'principles of the constitution, .false .to the interests of the people, and false to the bigheiit honor of their country, are unfit to be the rulers of this Republic. - - The . people of the United States have a right tagoottgovernment.

He will go in favor of a TARIFF, and also in favor of distributing the pro ceeds from the sales of the PUBLIC LANDS among the States, which will be the means of repealing the NEW STATE TAX passed by the last Loco Foco Legislature. He will go for the interests of the Farmers—he will not advocate one thing at siarris burg. end another among his neighbors—and he will not take SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS out of the State:Treasury, for services not rendered.

The numher is estimated at about Three thousand. Union ii good for 1200 majority for,Harrison. (rr We find the following annnnclation in the last Danville Intelligencer, a Loeofoco paper:— 4 . At the request of several Democrats, the follow ing notice is inserted : PEOPLES' CANDIDATE James M'Mahan. of Liberty township, Columbia county, will be a candidate at the ensuing General Election, to represent the Senatorial District com posed of the counties of Columbia and Schuylkill, in die SENATE OF PENNSYLVANIA." c& We neglected to notice last week the receipt of a' ew paper from Danville; Columbia co., called The Danville Democrat, and Tanif Advocate," by C. Cook 4- Co. It is a neat and well conducted sheet—and supports the good cause with consider. able talent and energy. Or The Democratic Harrison majority in Ver mont is 9,865. Last year only 2351. acl• Major' lieadiy, in his speech on Saturday Evening last, called the, Irishmen a noble set of fel lows,—.but did not say one word about the English, Welsh, Scotch, and Germans; we, therefore, pre sunie he dope not want any of their votes, and we don't think he will get many of them. It is true, he sold a German and Irish story in a very bungling 'manner,—which was not considered a very great compliment to either,—and the latter ore half in clilied now to take part with their brother emigrants, and vote against him also. Bon. A. King —This gentleman, who formerly represented this district in the Congress of the U. States, is a sterling democrat and a warm support er of the interests of the coal region. When in Congress he showed himself the fearless and inde pendent representative of the people. It was for his fearless and independent course in relation to the removal Of the doposites, that the radicals of the loco party denounced him. While tie depostte question was under discussion in Congress, a petition was sent to Mr. King. from this county, signed., by about 1200 citizens opposed to the measure ; My. King opposed the removal in obedience to the wishes of his constituents. and as ha had independence to act according to the dictates of his own conscience, he was at once marked as en object of vengeance by the radicals. Public opinion has since decided that the removal at the time was unwise, impolitic, and contrary to the interests of our country. Under ,these circumstances, Mr. King has an especial claim upon the Citizens of Schuylkill county, as it was in obeying their wishes that the wrath of the radicals was brought against him. As Mr. King preferred retirement then, rather than going against the will of the people, it is to be inferred that be will now, should he be elected, be the representative of the people, sod not of a party. 'County Convention—the Ticket.—The Conven tion which assembled at Schuylkill Haven, on Satur day last was well attended, and performed their duties in the most satisfactory manner, by placing befoie the People one of the strongest tickets ever before se lected in the county. The nominations were made with great unanimity, and as far as we learn gives entire sansfactiOa to the people. Capt. Kershner, is an , unassuming FARMER, beloved and respected by all , who know him, and has scarcely an enemy in the whole county. He is no office-hunter, and his in clinations are decidedly opposed to holding office. Such, however, are the persons the people may look too in these days of reform, to bring back the Govern ment to its former simplicity—they have tried reckless politicians and demagogues long enough, who legis. late for their own benefit, and let the people take care of themselves, which they are now determined to do. To show our readers the estimation in which Capt. Kirshner ifs held by his neighbors, we publish the vow he received in his own neighborhood in 1837, when he was elected Director of the Poor, over Mr. Hain, the strong candidate of the Federal loco party in-this county : Kershner, Hain, Eckert, Krebs Clearigsburg, 219 208 117 311 It,PKeansburg, 133 19 82 65 West Penn, 62 70 54 85 514 'Dr. Eckert and Capt. Kerahner, run on the same ticket; Dr. Eckert received the party vote only. wade Capt. Kersbner received almost the unanimous vote in s trKeansburg, the district where he resides, and run far ahead of his ticket in the adjoining districts. The contest was very warm that year, and Capt. Kersk ner was the only person elected on the Anti-Van Duren ticket. This speaks volumes in his favor. The other persons are all well known to the people of this county. Mr. Shullenberger will make • good Commissioner, and Peter Laubeustein is a goOd farmer, much respected among his neighbors, andis well calculated for the station he has been selected:to fill. Let our friends but do their duty, and there is a strong probability hr the success of the ticket, or at least a part of it. acy. We learn that James Cameron, superintend ent of Motive Power, on the Columbia Rail Road, has recently been arrested by the Mayor of Lancas ter for getting up a riot and beating peaceable citi zens. 7 f ry Loco likeling.—Maj. HssOLss, one of the loco candidates for the State Senate, in this district, addressed a meeting at. be Trap, on Saturday evening fast. -He made a-very clever speech—used a great many words—but there was .nothing in it.but what fPill operate decidedly against him in this district. He Was dreadfully troubled shunt 4 . , Log Cabins and Hard cider,"-rcalledit a great humbug, eilts.-but it will proves pretty liecrr , * humbug" to the locos Who origi stafed theMtpression, and ajiplied It in a sneering manner to Gen.:Harrison, immediately after he was nominated—it will no doubt be the e death of Loco-, foe oiarn."—He likened 'Gen. Harrison to an anima4 with long ears, incline! (this almost beets Senator Frailey.) said that Gen. Harrison supported the Alien and Sedition Law of John Adams, sod wore s Black! Cockade: (Gen. Harrison. whose word was never yet doubted, says he opposed John Adam's Administra tion, was opposed to the Alien and Sedition Laws.) supported Thomas Jefferson for President in oPPosfH don to John Adams, and never wore a Black Cock ade. except on parade when all officers wear it,—and , he ought to know better than Maj. Headley, what he done at that period:) approved of the Sub-1 ressuryt and also of the Standing Army of 200,0UOMen—said it was nothing but putting guns in the hands of the people; and they were not afraid of their guns—we agree with the Senator that there is'no fear to beep prehended from merely placing guns in the hands of the people—but the Major failed to tell the people; that those in whose hands these guns were plated were to to under the control of the President, to be called out whenever he pleased, to quell anything hi might call an insurruction—ond if they refused to go, they meat either pay their fine, or go to jail—and if they said one word disrespectfully of the conduct Of the President, they were to be punished by a CouA Martial, appointed by the President, who may im prison them, or even condem them to death. Thej, the Administration party, would not be e afraid" df thus placing guns in the hands of the people— !mit the people themselves hare great cause to he alarmed at such a measure. History tells us that freedom cannot, exist any length of time in any country, cursed with a Standing Army, under the command of its Chief Magistrate, whether he be a President, King or Autocrat, and we think history better authority qn this subject than Maj. Headley. We, however, give the Major credit for possessing some nerve on this occasion. He is the first speaker of the loco foco patty in this country, who has dared, publicly, to ad vocate the Standing Army Bill before the People 4— and we think be is justly entitled to the appellation 'of the 200,000 STANDING ARMY CANDIDATE FOR THE STATE SEN Al E, and we hope the Locos will see the necessity of having the tickets printed with the above caption. The Major's memory was a little treacherous on one 1 point.—He stated that the Whigs had accused Van Buren with writing to THIRTEI N Despotic Go vernments to ascertain the price try paid for wa ges. We do not recollect -having heard such a charge made against Van Buren—hut we do chaige him with causing the Secretary of the Treasury to write to twenty-seven foreign de-potisms and Mon archies to ascertain how they kept and disbursed the public revenue— and we have the authority of his last message fur making the accusation. This we consider a disgraceful and degrading act on the part of the President, and a direct insult to the intelligence and patriotism of the people of this country. The Major concluded by stating that he was a candidate for the State Senate—but did'nt like to say anything in favor of himself—poor fellow ! how modest! We are fearful he can't succeed—there is no chance for modest men with the present party in power. Some may consider thi a queer article—but we can assure them that the meeting was querer. • 297 253 ° 461 THE ELECTIONS. PROGRESS OF THE "TORNADO." FROM MAINE. i Vk'hich now means “00' to Kinderhook.” The restilt from Maine has completely used up" Locofocroism in this country.—This strong hcild of locofoceism has broken the shackles of party, andl now stands forth redeemed—we now behold her !as a bright and shining " Star in Me East," which will lead on to certain victory. We have carried our Governor against one of the most popular men the party ever had in the State, and we have carried!both branches of the Legislature,where there was a majority of about 50 against us last year, which will secure the election of a U. S. Senator. In all the calcuktions heretofore, Maine bas been conceded to Van Buren by all parties. In 1836 Van Buren had a majority of 7,751, and last year Gov. Fairfield bad a majority of 6,289 We have now a Harrison Governor by about 300 majority. 18 out of 25 Senators—lest year 17 locos to 8 whigs. And a majority in the House of Repreienta fives, of about 20. Five Harrison Members of Congress ont of Eight -2 locofocos, one vacancy. Last year 6 locoS to 2 opposition. The Globe assured the party that Maine was safe for Van Duren—but it was irg An •• arful Talculation." Just like all the calculations of the parti , about these times. The Loco Focos in this sectio n now give up the contest, and it is generally believed that Gen. Harrison will go in by acclamation.—Since their defeat in Maine, the strongest hold they had left,t here is not a s ingle Slate in the Union certain fut.

The tine is fast approaching when the freemen of the U. States will be called upon to decide by their votes, a question involving the best and dearest interests of all Americne, a question in which we find the o ffi ce holders ar eyed against the People; the former having cause our country to suffer bitterly, by the wicked and profligate course pursued' by their leader, Martin Van Buren, who has front a state of prosperity, unparalleled in the history df any country, thrown oer country into a state of commercial embarrassment and distress, equally unparalleled. He has !meandered and !mi -1 ished the vievlth of the notion, i rewarding the pampered sycophants who Burro nd 'him ; he has taken possession of the purse of th people, and sox asks fur• the sword ; he asks for ,tvers to be vested in him, that were unheard of dui i g the administra tion of any other President; and which, if granted, would endanger our liberties and lay the foundation for the overthrow of our Republic. In short, he has asked for that which should not be granted to any President, the concentration Of the Purse and Sword in the hands of the Chief Magikrate. And, whereas, the People of the UnitedStaies have selec ted as their Candidate, Gen. William H. Harrison, the Pattie! and Statesman, a man, whose whole life present; a series of service to his country ; a man, who hail shown as well in the councils of the nation as in the field, his entire capacity ito fill the impor. taut station of President of the U. States. lo him we find a Democrat of the JefferStuan School, who has learned to obey as well as cotmend : and under the administration m of such a m n, we may safely i l l look forward to seeing our gov rnment brought back to the republican simplicoy tnd honesty pi the days of Washington and Jefferson .
