Gross Hypocrisy ~The following Article is coped from tti and Schuylkillotunal . , It seems to be the opinion of the editore 'of the P'orter papeis', that everything ,cab::olated te show the unfitness of D. R. Porter for the station 6,e occu pies, can be et once putdown, by their cry Of—lf is false ! . low ( ifhis to be believed that the people of Pennsylvania will take all the assertions of the papers under the control of the Office-hdders of the rl3l State, for gotta, atuldisbelieve the moat un oubted facts . because published in the oppusi ; ion p pers— were this, . we. say the case, the supports of the present Eseeutive might well hope to keep plo in the dark, as. to their . deeds, , and be hold on to the power they have so shamefu sed, three years longer. .But we believe th are willing to hear the TRUTH, and that t then judge for themselves, uninfluenced by lion of party leaders. We therefore cull a to the following facts,, which we think w some light upon the character of our Ant Governor. One Of the principle grounds of Gov. Port' to of the Relief Bill, poem') last winter, as by him, was its increase of the paper circul the state. 1 , It is however notorious that thou ty and ek,) eye to re-election, to veto am bill, ho as heartily in its favor appiars from fbe fact that though the Wh but a bare majority in the lower house, th Bill [Bawd by two thirds—a sufficient number of Porter men voting for the bill to carry it—Ond vo ting in this way, as has bun repeatedly alleged and as is geavrally believed, at the express solicitation of the Governor. At all events the Ur passed, and the doveinin forthwith forwarded to the banks the feral to he used in the issue:of Small notes. But a number of Banks which were expected to take a portion of Oa /van, or in other words, issue small notes—the amount of wtich issue wor-to be placed in the.Tressuty--refused to go : into the measure, end the issue of small notes consequently fell short of what had bein anticipated, by a large amount. As the Governor was. accor ding to his own words, so much opposed M the in crease of paper, we might have reasonably supposed that this circumstance would have given him great satisfaction. On the contrary our anti-Paper money Governor sets himself to work to bring the paper is sue up to the largest sum contemplated by the bill— even though in order to do this he was obliged to go directly coqtrary to law. .. And fro what banks, demi the reader suppose Governor Porter undertook to procure the paper money I Three we know of—how many more be may have appLed to, we cannot tell.. The first was the Towanda BaNk—a bank, the noieri;of Which are up one day, 'down the next—often 'at a gr at dis count—and never kept by any man a atom at lon ger than he can help. This bank, which ad far b. • been unable to sustain its old issue, agrees wit , D. R. Porter, to increase its issue of small mates, au thorized by. the law, one hundred thousand dollare! The next bank is the Lancaster County Dank, an institution just commencing—and which, by the pro visions of the Relief Bill, could not come within the forty days allowed, and issue small notes. Still Por ter was willing to take their . promises to pay: The State Treasurer fortunately, for the supremacy of the law, refused to receive them. . . Another institution was the Erie Bank. To know its standing, the reader has but to refer to Bicknell's Detector, and the notes will be found ten per. cent. below par. 'This Bank was not only to issue-the notes authorised by the Relief Bill, but was to add to that enormous sum of three hundred aid fifty thousand dollars. Think of this from a Wink whose notcitate ten per cent. below par, and then say what opinion every thinking man must form of David R. Porter's character for banality Bart consis tency. The capital Stock paid in of this Bank m offering to increase its loan $350,000 (it had already taken its share, viz: $25,000) wee $lOO,OOO !! ! I . We copy the letter addressed by tLe Sank to Governor Porter, and the State Treasurer, which let ter never was shown the Treasurer by Porter ! ERIE BANK, August 17,1841 The undersigned, officers of this Institution, pro pose toincrease an issue of paper authorized by the act of 4th May, 1841. three hundred and fifty thou sand dollars beyond our former engagements, the amount to be paid to such contracture on the Erie, M. other division, of State work to whom the State owe—the bank to have the choice of making the selection of the creditors, and provided the State Treasuror is not authorized to draw his drafts for any portion thereof, and will agree receive drafts drawn on him, in our favor, whe egal vouchers shall be preacnted and Fettled at the accounting Department—Your answer is respectfull)' request ed, RUFUS S. REED, Pres,. C. McSPARREN, Cat.h. To D. R. Mum", Governor, and Jour' GILMORE, Et -14. Treasurer. The. State Treasurer, Mr. Gilmore, is a Harrison democrat, and like on honest man, refused to enter into this illegal Iran:action, or receive the money. Ovid F. Johnson, who of course must have a finger in so congenial a piece of busibess, forthwith writes a letter some three er four columns long, in which, as Attorney General of the State, and legal adviser of the Governor, he gives it as his opinion, that the proposed arrangement with the .Erie, other` banks was perfectly legal, and the Governs sight* rized by the law to add these sums to the paper cir culation, of the State. The Stirte;TreaSurer, how ever, had taken the precautiOn to get other advice, and that trout one of the.firet lawyers in the State, and a man Perfectly disintereritedrelleati:HOnace Thirsty. His opinion. (and his reasoniagis clear and indisputable) is that the wholei flair Was illegal, that the Thinks had no right to increase their issue of small notes, - or D. R. Porter to receive them. Here is then an attenipt biD. Porter, to add la larger' sum of the circulation of entail netes,—and not only do tile, but to do it by illegal miens..; This is the professedly anti-Bank, anli.amall note Governor:. This is the man whose conscience would' not permit bim to sign the Relief Bill, on 'account of ill increasing - the paper eimilation. But . further, OBSERVE !THE CHAIA'IFTER OF THE' ,LETTER. i The bank proposes t , to increase an isslue of pa.

MEASURES and SUCH MEN !. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. Why does not Governor Porter sign the Canal Commissionex's Bill, giving the erection of those of cers to the people, after his solemn promise so to do. Stick a pin at the place where I.evi Woodbury, Van Bureu'a Secretary of the Treasury, recommend ed as a cabinet measure, the very Tex on Tea and Coffee which Honest John Banks so walmly op posed, What think you of do%ernor Porter's temperance principles when his friends find it necessary to pub lish a certificate stating that his excellency was not DRUNK during his late visit to Harrisburg. . - Remember that David R. Porter is openly charged with having received a BRIBE of $99,200 as his price for bolstering up the falling fortune's of that rotten and iniquitous monster, the . 11. B. Binh. Keep it before the people, that David R. Porter took from our State Treasury two thousand dollars, without authority of law, and gave the maney to his BROTHER anethe Attorney General. Who dare deny the fact ! Will the people re-elect one who has robbed them! Remember that John Banks is the warm and strong advocate of a Variff—of a protection to Amer ican industry and enterprise—is in favor of high wa ges for labor and high prices for agricultural products. Farmers, mechanics, and workingmen, can yoti ro fuse to vote for such a man Keep it bef..re the people that the State Debt, un der Porter's, unapt and extravagant adroinistnrtion, bas increased upwards .of FIFTEEN MILLIONS of dollars. CAUSES OF TAXATION.—The expenses of the; State Government under David R. Porter are annu ally about $llO,OOO more than they were under his predecessor, and the expenditures for keeping th. 4 public works in order have increased from an annul al average of $BOO,OOO to $1,200,000, being an ex cess over their entire income. Thus half a million is lost every'year by this extrav*gance, while at the same time the state debt under Gov. Porter has increased so rapidly that it requires nearly $300,000 more to pay each year's interest than it did under Gov. Rttner. Thus three fourths of a Million of dollars has to be levied from the people every year, in the shape of taxes, simply to pay for the extrava gant increase of expenditure under Gov. Porter. If he should be re-elected, and his former course be the guide of his future conduct, the increased taxation will amount every 'year to two and a bolt millions dollars!! !! Look to it, voters, ere it be too late. Er.=Tiros or CANAL Vorsairssroarsuel.—When does Gov. Porter intend to sign the bill for the elec tion of Canal Commissioners by the People ? This great democratic measure has been pending be fore him FIVE swamis—and one would think he could surely determine in that length of time upon so st.r.ple a proposition as that of giving to the peo ple the election of their own officers. Wo trust the people will not forget that David R. Porter has de termined that they shall not be trusted_ to do their own business et the polls. This is his democracy ! Will it be sustained! Wo trust not. The people owe it to themselves to reform the abuses of the im provement system. This can only be done by the election of Commissioners by the people--and the first step towards this object is to torn out David R. Porter, who has kept the bill for five months in his breeches pocket.

S majority, Tun Maw Tsx LAW.—We learn says the Berke and Schuylkill Journal) that this important' law is exciting mach attention in every part of the country. We are not surprised that this should be the case. It is one of the most remarkable acts of assembly ever passed—one of the Most burdensome upon the public. Look at its operation upon the FARMER. His land is taxed at its full value. His personal prop erly the same. He is taxed for Ms occupation and even his debts are taxed. - It is peculiarly severe in its operation upon the HEIR who accepts land at the appraisement in the orphans' court. The land is burdened "with a dower —which he is obliged to pay regularly, and which he finds a heavy tax upon his income. Under-the old law this was deducted and he paid tax only for the true amount of his property. This deduction is no longer made. The new law compels an apprais went at the full value of his property and no deduc tion. How unjust is this operation Of the law. And yet it was approved by D. R. Porter—one whom his office-holders would fain represent as a democrat and friend of the people. The MEcnirric has his prop: erty taxed and his labor taxed, and all to pay the in terest of the enormous State debt which has grown up under Porter's administration. - In fact the taxes are swallowing up the entire profits 'of many, and unless some method is adopted to put an end to the ruinous extravagance of our rulers, there is no know ing what the result will be. Nothing short of gen eral bankruptcy can be expected. Let us elect a Governor who will introduce a sal utary Reform and Economy into every department of our State government. Let the speculators who have been preying upon the interests of the public foe nearly 3 years be turned out of office, and men fresh from the people be put in their places. and all may yet be well.

Mere the mule shook his ears to drive off the flies, Which alined devour the poor animals in that clime., l --.010 yorulo bet—berry well—den mo try." Theloiing rascal (heWas not more than 10 yrrs old) disappeared in the bush, and reterned in a few seconds with some strips of fan weed, a few mall pebbles, and a branch of the cactus plant. To put three or four pebbles in each of the mute's ears, and tie them up with the fan weed, was but the soik of a moment. He then jumped on the animal's back, 'urned round, put the plant to his tail, and off they went, as a negro himself would Say, like land, Mas sa." Into the water they plunged—the little fellow grinning and showing his teeth in a perfect eestacy. Out they got on the other side—head and ears down —tail and heels up—and the boy's arms flying about as if they didn'tamlong to him; and I lost sight of him as be went over the rocky steep at full gallop, where one false step would have precipitated thein into the sea beneath, frum whence there would have been but - small chance of escape.—No, no ; a but cher's boy is nothing to a negro boy—the one may ride like the deuce,.but the other is the very deuc.• himself riding. •, Did you see any more of him, sir ?" enquired young lady opposite. •• Yes, madam, about two hours afterwards, I reach ed Port Maria, and in an open space near the stores, there sat, or _rather lay, young Quashie, eating cakes; and there also stood the mule, eating Gui nea grass, and looking much more cheerful than when' I first saw him at the Salt Gut. • Well, Quashie,' I said, • you have got here, I see, but which of you two won V - • gnostic win, Massa— Quashie neber lose.' • But sill he pay 1 enqui red. • Quashie pay himself; Masse.

The scene of the occurrence was one of the western cities of Mis sissippi, where a young physician; after exhausting his skill and perseverance for the recovery of the health of a young lady in imminent pefil, called in the aid of a professional brother of mature age and greater experience. No benefit, however, resulted to the lair patient from their united labors; and af ter every effort bad been restated to which the com bined wisdom of the two physicians could suggest, the case was given up as hopeless. It was formally announced to the afflicted family that the sufferings of the patient would end in death before morning; and it being late 'end the night stormy, the two physicians were prevailed upon to take lodgings in the hciuse until morning. Weary and disheartened, they soon fell asleep; but in a few minutes our young practitioner awoke from a strange dream. He had no sooner closed his eyes in slumber, than , he dreamed he had given the patient a dose of a certain medicine, the name of which we have forgotten, which had immediately arrested the vomiting, and the patient had fallen into a sweet sleep, attended with very favorable symptnnes of Convalescence. He roused his companion and told him his dream. The other; however, treated it with lightneis, and turning over, immediately commenced snoring. Again the other slept. also, and again the same dream--identi cal in every particular, visited him. Thrs time he awoke his companion and seriously demanded that the medicine thus pointed cut il.ould be tried.. His request met with nothing but a sneer; and a eugges- tion that he had better get up and try. it himself. Again both slept, and again the same dream came upon the young man and he awoke with a feeling almost of awe creeping over hint " Rising quietly, and dressing without disturbing his companion, he entered the sick chamber, and be held the pour girl, her eyeballs starting from her head, her face of a purple hue, still vomiting violent ly. It was evident she could not live an hour. Sei zing a brief pause in the frequent convulsions, he administered the exact dose of the medicine prescii bed in his three wonderful dreams, and sat down to watch the result. In leas than two minutes a change was percepti. ble in the patient. The vomiting returned no more! and in a few minutes the exhausted patient sank into a gentle and healthful sleep. She is now, although still feeble, entirely recovered from her dreadful mal ady, and will, we hope,. live many, many years, to be a blessing end a comfort to her friends.

In this state of mind, he cast his eyes round the various devices which save from indigenie and ore most favored by fortune. He soon perceived that charlatanism Was that that on which thin blind benefactress lavistid her favors with most pleasure, and in the greatest abundance. _An adroit and lo quacious domestic was the only remaining article of, all his former grandtui. - ne dressed him up in a gold.laccd livery, mounted a splendid chariut, and started on the tour! under the name, style, and title d of • the celebrated I)r.

Not finding that he obtained as much practice as his daring genius 'anticipated, he determined to resort to still higher fights. He left Pane, and modestly announced himself at Lyons, as,. the celebrated Dr. Mantaccini, who revives the de ad at will.' Tore move all doubt, he declared that, in fifteen days he would go to the common church yard, and restore to life its inhabitants, though buried for ten years. This declaration excited a general rumor and murmur against the doctor, who ; not in the least disconcerted, applied to a magistrate, and requested that he might be put under a guard, to prevent his mar!, until hi should perform his undertaking. The *position inspired the greatest confidence, and the whole city came to consult the driver empiric, and purchase his • bautne de vie. His consultations were most numer ous, and he received large sums of money.

In. an instant after, two dashing beaux arrived ; who, with the most earnest supplications, entreated Into Dot Co Med their old father, formerly the greatest miser in the city, as, in such an event, they would be reduced to the most deplorable indigence. They offered Min t fee of sixty lonia, but thedocter shook his head in doubtful compliance. scarcely had they retired, when a young widow, on the eve of matrimony, threw herself at the feet of the quack, and, with sobs and sighs, im plored his mercy. fn short, from morn till night ; the doctor received' letters, visits, presents, fees, to an excess which absolutely overwhelmed him. The minds of the citizens were differently and violently agitated—some by fear, and some by curiosity, Ike that the chief magistrate of the city waited upon the doctor, and said, .' ] Sir, I have not the least doubt, from my experience of your rare talents, that yob will be able to accomplish the resurrection in our church yard the day after to-morrow; according to your promise; but I pray you to obserie that our city is in the inmost opioar end confusion, and ltr consider the dreadful revolution the success of your experiment must, produce in every family.
