1 :tro Fellow citixene,r--,on Tuesday next you wil
be called upon to e x ercise one of the highest pill , :
loges of freemen.Mie elective frranchiss—sod its i 0
doing, you oughtri l be governed by the sole
_desiie 1
to advence the iu crest's of our beloved country, by
eelecting.suchmen to fill the different stations, who
*re - known to - be honest and eapubk—men who will
legislaterfor the nod of the 'greatest number, with
out regard to party feelings or predilections. There
are two tickets now before the people of this district
fot gear suitiages.. , •
Toe C o oteese we have HENRY KING, Esq. of
Allentown, who braved political proscription, when'
a member of Congress in 1833, by voting against
the removal of ihe depositei, and- absolutely sacri
ficed himself in Preference to. sacrificing what be be , -
, lieved: to be - the
,htnit interests of the country. We
therefore know him to be honest, and .an depend on
him. Opposed to him is Peter Newhard. Esq. of
Allentown, a- strict party man, who has done ino
thing in Congress except vote for the leading and
most obnoxious` Measures of the present Adininis..
tuition. He votedfor the eIIJII - rT MAMMY BILL,
and will vote, iif elected, for the STANDING
ARMY HILL, also- He is totally unqualified for
the stetiOn—and'ivill do the bidding of ~ the paity"
at the expense of-the beseinteresta of the country.
For the Legislature we him Captain lianiel,B.
Kash - nee, a Faimer, whose character none dare as
sail, except those who are lost to all sense of shame,
end aro only fit Dissociates far brutes—a man Whom
his opponent' knots to be strictly honest end caps
ble—who,will be governed by principle, and who
will 'legislate eFir the best interests of the whole
community.i OppOsed to him is John Weaver, the
until contractor' a pet of the Government, who re
ceives giald and silver for big pay, sells it to Brokers
to be shpped to Europe, and pays his bills in Bank
• i
rags; (except immediately before the Election, when
he brings a fel kegs of specie to this region to hum
bug the!working men, andicatch their votes) a man
whom hie orgn bas already proclaimed will go for
tothe party," nd his opponents must take:care of
themselves:
t li
rt If you wan en honest, capal , le, and independent

The !pers Os who compose the balance of the
Ticket ere knewn t.i the people of the county, and
will, if elected ful fi l the duties appertaining, to their
' different stati !is, in a manner that will give entire
satisfaction to the citizens of the county.
Working men of Schuylkill, come up to the polls
one 'S , erte the( Harrison Ticket. It is one of the
best ever pqsented to the people of Schuylkill
county for their support—it is composed of men in
whom you can place the most implicit confidence,
both for honesty and capacity—who will to
your interests in the councils of the nation, while
you ani engaged in your daily toil for the support
of yourselves!and family—and who will legislate for
the • good olditimes when labor was well ,rewarded,
and mechanics . and working men received th e i r
wages'every Saturday night,in specie, or Bank pa
per, convertible into specie on demand —when no,
base arid fieridtsh attempts were made by Trek less

knouledged to - be a leading
Measure of the rrestnt Ad-
ministration.
The Globe, the! organ of the .oministration
speaking of Van Buren's Standing Army on the
9d of April, 1840, after theßill• had been endorsed
by the President, and all its details presented to Con
gress, says: ,
e At a time when party spirit is exciting so bane
ful en influence upon 'legislation, and the deleteri
ous'effects of which are so manifest to the country
at large, causing delay of measures necessary to the
public good and e the general welfare" in its proper
sen; it must be gratifying to observe that there is
at lea* ONE LEADING MEASURE OF THE
ADMINISTRATION, that is likelyllto find favor
with all men of dispassionate judgment—we mean
the plan of the Secretary of War fur Me classifica
tion, equipment and proper organization of the
Militia! The basis of this measure may be said em
phatically to he the conservative feature of our re
publican form of government, for it pre-supposes
intelligence that is devoted to its owwsense of sub
ordination, to discipline under law and for the
double object of supporting the laws'against foreign
aggression and domestic violenei. 'BO this subject
has' been so frequently disc:tamed - by the master
minds of the past centuries, that it iri useless to ad
. vert to it.-further than to add, that asi Gen. Jackson
in his first inaugural address, brotqlit this subject
before his fellow-citizens. saving that"l the bulwark
of our defence is the notional militia, which in the
present state of our intelligence and pepuletion must
render us invincible." To this just !f,,ystem, which
is so well calculated to strengthen li this Tuitional
safe-guard" of oui country, addrcsse,itself to the
eaghtentd of all patties . e Prance' r injuries and
occasional mortification.," as he justly observed,
.• we may be subjected to, but a million of armed
freemen, possesseff of the means of war, can never
be conquered by foreign fee. Let us; then never he
overcome by listlessness, but he awak and be doing.
That nation is most secure from aggressions, that is•
ever ready to repel them." The ai4pesl is to the
judicious patriot, awl the measure advocated is
stamped with the practical churact
s • r of the man,
who has supplied in a'greet mcasur the details of
the Dill."
This art:cle presents the PoinsettL bill, as a lead
ing measure of the Administration, and contains
most of Mr. Van Buren's arguments to the Virgi
nia 9inmittee in relation to that subject. The ed
itoirurthe Globe will please turn to ihis paper of the
3,1 of April last. It is quite offensive to refer bin'
to his old files. _ I

Cor.. I. Davinaos.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 7, 1840•
Haan Sin :—I am in receipt of your letter of the
sth inst„ in which after referring to the part I bore
in the battle of the Thames, Oct.; 5, 1813, youpro
pound to me two questions in reference to the con•
duct of Gen. Harrison on that occasion. You ask
me:
Ist. o Did you see r Gen. Mullion while the battle
raged, and atter Cul. Johnson had been wounded and
taken off the ground, and hear him encouraging and
animating his men 1"
2J. Was any part of the Infantry under Shelby
engaged in the action'!"
My answer to your inquiries will be better under
stood by a plain statement of the facts which occurred
upon the ground, so far as I witnessed them.
I was at the head or right of my company, on
horseback, waiting orders, at about fifty or silty yards
from the line of the enemy, Col. Johnson rode np
end explained to me the mode of attack. and said, in
substance, Capt. DavidsoL, lam directed by Gen.
Harrison, to charge, and break through the Indian
line, and forin in the rear.—My brother James will
charge in hie manner through the British line at the
same time. The sound of the trumpet will be the
signal for the charge." In a few minutes the trumpet
sounded, and the word o charge" was given by Col.
Johnson. The Col. charged within a few" paces of
me. We struck the !adieu line obliquely, and when
we approached within ten Or'fifteen yards of their
line, the Indians poured. in a heavy fire upon us killing
ten or fifteen of our men, and several horses, and
wounded Col. Johnson very severely. He imme
diately retired. Dr. Theobald, of Lexington, (I think.)
aided him off. I neither sairnor heard mote of Col.
Johnson until after the action was over.
.The contest continued warm and animated for
some time where my company and part of Capt.
Stucker's were engaged. After Col. Johnson was
taken off the field, I saw General Harrison and Gov.
Shelby, both, and quite near me. They were both
on horse-back, passing in the crotchet, or angle. ' I
well remember the animating and encouraging man
ner in which Harrison, as he :passed, addressed his
men. It had a sensible effect upon myself, and seem-
ed, I thought not only to stimulate my spirits; but
strengthen my body, (then weakened by loss of
blood.) " Fellow soldiers," shouted the intrepid hero,
in tones that stirred the souls of his kindred spirits;
"keep dose and ehot.t sum, the day will be ours in
a few minutes !" He rode on ; I was engaged, and
saw no more of him. Immediately upon his leaving
us, going in the direction of the angle, a desperate and
severe struggle commenced at or near that point, be
tween the Infantry under Gov. Shelby and the In
dians.—This conflict at the angle, with Shelby's men,
lasted, I think at least five minutes. Several of the
Infantry were killed.. Gov. Shelby himself told me
he bad several men killed, and had found eight or ten
Indians left dead on the ground at that point. Th is
MRS the most severe contest during the action.
I crossed the swamp with the second Battalion
500 men,) and fought against the Indians (supposed
400 warriors) under Tecumseh, without any aid
whatever."
This statement, you grill observe, is not warranted
by the detail.. The writer (it indeed the alleged au
thor was the writes, which 1 doubt,) certainly labors
under a misapprehension which.can only be account
ed for by the fact that Col. Johnson was badly
wounded at the first onset, and was immediately
taken off the field, and could not have known of the
important services rendered by the intently under
Harrison and Shelby.
I must claim, however, for the second Battalion of
the mounted Regiment, the honor of having con
tributed more than any other corps, in achieving the
victory. But it gives me pleasure to say, that every
officer and soldier did his duty on that day, so far as .
I know or believe. You will therefore be able to
judge, from the fact here stated from my own personal
knowledge, whether Gen. Harrison was present in
the action, doing his duty as an officer, and whether
any part of the infantry was engaged: I had sup
posed that fact so well known by all who were there,
that it would at this day, be questioned by none.
In conclusion, as it regal* the standing of Gen.
Harrison as nn officer; and the estimation in which
he was held by the army, I am, with my intercourse
with his officers and soldiers subsequeht to the battle,
enabled to adopt the language of a distinguished of
ficer of Perry's fleet—othere never was an army more
ardently attached to or more enthusiastically proud
, of a General than this."
Yours with great respect,
JAMES DAVIDSON.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS OF
SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.
As the election is drawing nigh, in which you
will be called upon to make choice of men to fill the
different offices under the new Constitution, and also
elect a person to represent, you in the State Leosla
wn; with regard to the Candidates now before you
for, the last mentioned Office, it is my purpose to say
a few winds, and a word to the wise is sufficient.
Dr. Holmes is a talented and respectable citizen of
Pinegrove, in this County, possessing a character
without a blemish, and as you are all well aware, has
been regularly placed on the ticket, at a tweeting of
delegates fo Convention agreeably to the established
usages j of the Democratic party from time immemo•
ri ' sl
; no unfair means were put, in requisition to pro
cure his nomination, but the unbiased voice and free
expression of all the delegates present. And is the
man thus clean and selected to be neglected and
thrubt out of the way to make room for an usurper !
one who has •lot now, nor never had any &Ain on
the democratic party.
We allude to Peter F. Mudey ; he has not been
called, but has the presumption to offer his servi^es
to, and call upon that party for supped, to which be
is a stranger. We know Mr. Mudey well, together
with his political and religious principles.
We know him to be a Fedeialist by birth and in
this attempt a tool for the Whigs. But if these con
siderations are not sufficiently strong to reject Mr.
Mudey, there are others which are . .paramount to
those, which are well known to all. He is an Irish
man by birth, a Catholic by profession, and in
principles favourable to an union if Church and
&ate. These are facts not denied by his warmest
and best friends. Fellow citizens, thus you have the
character and standing .nf those two Cdmpetitors for
the Legislature. Can it be a difficulty any longer
with you to make your proper choice 1 No ! we hear
every democrat respond to our call ! Go to the polls
and vote for Dr. Holmes the regular nominated can
didate, and you can rest assured that victory will
again be yours. MANY DEMOCRATS.
[TOR THE MINER ' S JOURNAL.)
TO IRISILIIMEN.
If words are to be considered as evidence of the
feelings and intentions of men, we Tay inter from the
language which Martin Van Buren permitted another
to use in relation to his feelings, and the expressions
absolutely used by Mr. Foisythe, what are their feel
ings and sentiments in regard to Irishmen in general,
and Roman Catholics in particular. In order to shop
how very different are their real sentiments from
those which they would have them believe them to
be, I will give an extract from an article which ap
peared in the Globe, which was written by Mr. Van'.
derpool, a leading Administration member of Con
gress, and we believe a relative of the President, in
defence of 11r. Van Buren from the imputation of at-
tending divine service in a Path°lic Church, and
alter a long and elaborate argument, tending to dis
prove the assertion, he says o that Manic Van Buren
would no more be seen in a Catholic Church than in
a brothel"—these are the exact words without any
alteration , , as will be found in the letter of Bishop
Carberry, which I have subjoined, to prevent any
doubt or mistake upon the subject ; these expressions
Mr. Van Buren suffered to pass without any attempt
at denial or justification on his part; thereby, pro
claiming to the world his feelings towards Roman
Catholics. Now : it is a well known fact, that the
greater number of Irish emigrants here are of this
persuasion, and if they will support the man who
can thus, through his oracle, the Globe, stigmatize
their Holy religion by applying to it language so in
tolerant, indecent and contemptuous, I say, with
out hesitation, that they have degenerated in their
spirit, and become weakened in that faith in which
their fathers fought and died, and for which they
have braved the persecutions of ages. I will now
dwell for a short time upon the language contained
in Mr. Forsythe's letter, dated Fredericksburg, Aug.
29th and published in the Globe, at Washington,
and. other Administration papers. After alluding to a
convention which was la Id in London, called the
Worhro Convention — , the express object of which was
to more effectually stop the Slave Trade along the
African coast, he concludes with the following abuse
of Ireland's Patriot and Champion, " the brutal O'-
Connell was quite at home in such a meeting, and
his insults to the representative of a foreign govern
ment near his own, his vituperation of two of our
most eminent public men were quite in harmony with
the occasion." Such is the epistle, and such the
language applied by Mr. Forsythe, to one of the
greatest men of modern times, the man, who, above
all others, Irishmen should esteem and venerate, and
those of the Catholic persuasion in particular, for' it
was by his eloquence and perseverance that they ob
tained in 1828, Catholic Emancipation, and who will
eventually be the means of bringing back to that un
happy country, its legislature, and establishing its
government on an equility with those of other
climes. These things ought to act as warnings to
Irishmen, sufficient in themselves to caution them
against voting for men who treat them with con
tumely. and to tell them, that if they have been in
strumental in elevating them to their present exalted
positions, they should now unite and exert all their
influence to hurl them from their seats of majesty
and power, which they fill so unworthily. If they
do not do this, and should continue to support the•
men who can thus vilify and endeavour to throw con
tempt upon all which they should hold sacred, their
religion and their country, I shall be forced to believe
that in a land of liberty, fostered and cherished by
free institutions, they have lost those principles, and
have forgotten that virtue which in their native land
have ever animated their breasts. EMMETT.
Extract from a letter addressed to Catholics, by the
venerable Catholic Bishop, PArDIcK CsnasnaT,
which appeared in the Albany, N. Y. Evening
Journal.
I will now take a cursory view of the ingratitude
and intolerance of the party lately in power in blew
York, to my countrymen. I shall begin with a little
sketch of the Catholic Orphan Asylum of Utica.

They set on foot a petition to the Legislature f r

of four-fifths, if not more, Van Buren men. .. ,
could you believe that these seltsty led Democr is
of the nineteenth century, refused the charter et)*
count of the alarming increase of Catholicity,
the danger of jeopardizing our liberties if the fat

renewed the n sea ion.: *lran Baum Legbdo
tore reluctintly granted an insulting charter; fettered
with. the lanai— restriction of putting in is Direc
tors "three Pro is and two Catholics, to check
the danger of Popery. I will dwell no longer on this
most insulting, itchezing theme, but will put it to
the 'candor of my generou4 countrymen, whether
they ever knew so great an outrage against the eons
etitutioial rights of man. It was an act worthy of
the meridian of the most intolerant period of the
Seventeenth Century.
The ease of President Van Buren's rewarding the
arch-libeller Bancroft with a fat office, is another of
those insulting transactions in high quarters that
foreigners ought never to lose sight of. The wanton
attache of this I3ancreft were published in the Globe,
and wafted to ievery,quarter of our country.
This same Globe publishes Vanderpoel'a defence
of Van Burenlfrom the terrible charge of being in a
Catholic Chuch. This defence finishes by saying
that Mr. Vali Buren, would no more be seen in a
Catholic Church than in a Brothel ! The Irishmen
must be blunted in feeling and entirely void of nation
ality, who am tamely suffer such ungenerous and in
sulting refuma from a party which, while it professes
liberality with its tongue, deals proscription by its
acts." PATRICK CARBERRY.

After three hour's notice, the anniversary of the
Battle of the Thames, a victory, which the Hon'
Langdon Cheves declared on the floor of CongresU

Monday evenicg lass, by a
GRAND cilitc PROCESSION,
headed by the Pottsville and German Harrison
Bands, bearing appropriate Banners and Torches,
which completely illuminated the Streets through
which the Procession passed. The multitude was
addressed in an eloquent and spirit stirring manner
by Mr. John M. Crosland, and Mr. Joseph Allen.
After singing "Old Tip's Raisin', " the multitude
dispersed highly pleased with the celebration, which,
though got up at a moment's notice, for ecthui

Prepare to be Taxed!
The law passed at the last session of the Legis
lature of this State enjoins it upon the Comnlis
sioners of each county to ascertain the differ e nt
kinds, and the amount thereof, of taxable property
of their several counties under the same. In ac
cordance with this imperative duty the Commis
sioners of this county either have or ore about; to
issue the following notice to the several Assessor of
Dauphin county. The people will see by it that
they are soon to be taxed for every thing of the least
value in their possession.' Our law-makers, how-
ever, have taken good care that this tax be not as
sessed until after the Presidential election. It might
other wise prejudice the cause of Van Buren, whose
mal-administration have made this tax necessaryi.
