Tnerican citizen who would perpetuata
tho memories of those patriots whoso, lives
were sacrificed in tho cause of liberty and
their country. Wd feel confident that Con

jjreral government.

jmpo3tor who represented himself as a vol
unteer in the Florida campaign, and exhibi
ted several scars which he said were rcceiv'-'
ed in engagements with tho Indians, that
deprived linn of tho power of speech. Af
ter replenishing his pockets at tho cosl of
the charitable, ho unfortunately for the fur
ther success of his villainy, got drunk,
when the power of speech returned, and
upon examination his wounds were pro
nounced venereal blotches, lie was "car
ried out of town on a rai ." The same
scoundrel played ofl the successful part of
his begging game in this village.
fCyWe have fine weather for llay-ma-king;
and tho grain fields promise abundant
crops to out farmers. EVciry thing looks
cheering in the country.
Specie. The Hank of the United States,
it is said, will resume specie payments in
about a fortnight; fc several C6untry Banks
will do the same thingyor a day or lii'o in

of alaw, by finesse, at the expense of their
comirionobligations to community.
'rlE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
From the expressions of public senti
ment in every quarter, wo have n6 doubt
but our next legislature will be composed
of the right sort of materials to remedy the
present evils arising from the oppressive
system of Banking. It will be soon from
the proceedings of the Anti-Bank conven
tion thai pledges arc recommended as essen
tial from tho candidates of the democratic
party; and from numerous exchange papers
we obscrvv tli.t.a simultaneous feeling ex
ists throughout the commonwealth: Wc
extract tho following from the "Venango
Demoorat,". and recommend it-to the seri
ous consideration of the democratic party of
this county. Let us have "good men and
mur.;" and no danger need hereafter be ap
prehended from the operations o'ftlie monied
oligarchy.
Wc would suggest to the democratic par
ty in the various counties of the state, the
propriety of requiring a pledge from their
candidates for the legislature, that they will
vote in lavor ol a resolution repealing the
cliarter ol tne United Stales Uanlv of Pcnn
sylvania, at 'the cohimeiicc?nenl if theses
sion. We understand this course will be pilr
sueu nere, aim we nope, generally tlirougll
out the coni.m'on wealth. The people are
not likely to he iicnenttcu much Uv the do
liberations of the convention to revise the
constitutioni as tho federal party have the
ascendancy in tliat oody, anil they ever op
pose the wishes of the peoplo. They cat:
put this mischievous monster down througl
thc:ir representatives in the statu legislature,
Its destruction has be,en willed by this
state and tho nation. Then bring the foul
usurper uown and strew salt where
stood.

It
VENANGO COUNTY.
rut . . r t-v
j no venango Democrat gives spine
very interesting statistics respecting this
county, from which we glean the" following,
Its. population is estimated at 10,000.
has 19 townships eleven of which arc
limestone land; and coal and iron ore abduiid
throughout the bounty generally. There
are 13 furnaces in operation, arid ii being
constructed. A daily lino of stages hills
from the seat ofjusticc to Piltsburg, Mead
villo, and Erie, and a tri-weekly to Phila
delphia. Eight years ago this county was
a wildrierncss: Vb' hope our friend Shu
gert may not only detail, but reap the bene
fits derived froth ihc Improvements in his
adopted place of residence. Ho is a warm
hearted fellov, zealous in a good cause,
and deserving of a better fate than generally
crowns the exertions bf an independent ed
itor.
JC7We would much rathor participate
in the "cold comfort" of congratulating a
favonto candidate upon having received a
largo vote for any oflice, than occupy tho
unenviable position of our neighbor of tho
"Register," who can never expect to' bo on
the strong side in his own district. When
his favorites prove successful, it is owing
more to a schism in the democratic party
than to the popularity of Tory principles
such as are applauded by tho Register;
