DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION"
FOR GOVERNOR :
GEN. DAVID IS. POUTER,
' (or HUNTINGDON COUNTY;)
. Our neighbor, the Register, rejoices over
Mvlint lie very innocently denominates, a
i" defentof tlie latest alid last, effort of tlie
Unost extravagant and heartless atlmii'iatra
tion," toropcnl the deposit act of 1830.
'What a consistent set of fellows these
.whigs are ; yon can not please them tho best
way you can. fix it. '. When the act referred
to was passed, the whole clan of the oppo
sition from one end of the Union to the oth-
nr. dnnnnnt!('(l it. n; llin sum nrrsocrn nf tlie
total destruction of our liberties, by concen
trating tho power of the- .sword and the
.purse in tho hands of ono man ; but
now, when a' repeal is proposed, al-'
though at their suggestion, the same heart
Jess' cry is again rahed. No matter what
measures are proposed" by the friends of the
administration, for the safe keeping of the
public money, if they do not include a U-

if they have heretofore been advocated by
the whigs themselves, they arc opposed
tooth nnd,hail, as destructive to tho best in
terests of the country.
But what are tho fact.'! in relation to this
terrible defeat and overthrow of tho " heart
less administiation,' over which he rejoices
eo lustily? They are these. Mr. Wright
introduced into tlie Senate a bill so far to
modify a single clause of the deposite law
of 1830 as to admit the receipt, in the pay
ment of dues to the Government, of tho
notes of those state banks, which have,
since the 4th of July, 183(3, issued notes of
denominations less than $5 ; provided the
the banks nliall cease to issue,' re-issue, or
pay out such small notes after tho fust. of
October noxt.- This occasion was seized
upon by Mr. Webster to make another ef
fort, by way of amendment to the bill of
Mr. Wrights to legislate again iiitO life and
action this broken down and exploded bank
deposito system. It was admitted on both
sides, that all the banks of all the states
could no longer enjoy the free and profita
ble use of the public money, because they
had, by their own voluntary action, dis
qualified themselves from being deposite
banks, and had rendered it impossible for
the Secretary of the Treasury to select
them undcrthe law; and during th discus
sion, Mr. Webster said, tiint if the Repub
licans did not wish' to have the law remain
in force, they should propose its repeal, and
that, if any one desired to offer such a pro
position, he would withdraw his amend
ment to afford tile opportunity. Upon
which Mr. Wright mot the paper money
advocate on h'n own jjtounl, an I proposed
to insert a clause to repeal tho whole twelve
fijgt sections of the deposite law, except a
!nglo clause which the bill proposed to
modify in the manner stated above. But
no sooner was the issue thus made, at the
i' request of their leader, than tho wholo op
position pounced upon it with the greatest
fuiy. The republican phalanx, of the ben-
ate, however, stood firm, and passed the re
pealing clause by a majority of fivo, and it
was sent to tlie house, i lie urst voie lau
en upon it in the house, was upon the repeal
ing section, which, by the entire opposition,
strengthened by several friends of an Inde
pendent Treasury, was stricken, from the
-bill -bv a minority ol nineteen. 1 lien came
-(he efforts to supply its place by somo pro
vision which should re-enact, and put again
Into onerationitlio deposito law. of 1830, and
51 Wr.-'Giirtissof'Now York, was earliest on
! the floor wiUuhe 'amendment of Mr. Wcb-
Bter, when a republican member proposed
! as an amendment to the amendment, a pro
viso, declaring that the banks which should
be entrusted with tho keeping of tho public
i money, should not be used for the purpose
of banking. This last proposition was
I by a vote of the house, inserted and made a
ipartoftho amendment o( Mr. (Jurtiss, upon
Jwhioh no vote had been taken. This flung
the bankitea into tho gieatest consternation
and an adjournment was immediately mov
The rixt day, the subject- was. again re
sumcd, and notwithstanding tho Bound prin
ciple' Which thcfcpublicang'hadsucccded in
incorporating in tho ,amendmbnt, it still
contained provisions' radically objectionablo
to them, and could not, thcreforo, have their
support; and, when tho vote came to bo-ta-kon,
it appeared that this principle,' of separ
ating themoney of Ihc people from the buii
ncss of 'banking, had mado tho whole a-
mendmant as unpalatablo to tho Federalists
as the defective parts of it were to the Re
publicans. Tho consequence was, it Was
voted out of the bill.
The bill was thus left iti the precise shape
in which it was first introduced into the Scn-
ato by Mr. Wright, under the direction of
the Committee on Finance, and conformity
with an assurance previously givcrnjn a re
port made by that committee. In this shape
it passed the House without organized op
position, and was returned, to tho Senate.
I'lic Senate, with little difl'orc'ncb of opin
ion concurred with the House in ils'amend
mcnl; and thus Mr. Wright's bill, as origin
ally introduced, and in the precise shape
the Republican mcmbors of Congress pro
posed and desired to give to it, has become
a law, while every' proposition of tho op
position to rcvivo and re-enact the exploded
deposito system has signally failed in both
Houses of Congress.
r The bill, as firat proposed by Mr. Wright,
was a single modification of the deposite
law, and one-which almost - every member'
of both houso3 of Congress, of whatever
politics, or' whatever opinions on the sub
ject of the financial system, approved, and
was ready to vote for. Therefore, all the
questions, of a.disputablo character, growing
out of the action of Congress, upon this bill,
were raised by, attempts on the part of tho
opposition to turn tho bill into the rc-estab-
lisllntcnt of another general, open bank de
posite system, and they. were all promptly
and signally defeated. The following re
sults, which wo copy from the Washington
Globe, are unavoidably deductible from this
Congressional action, and the whiga arc
welcome to all the comfolt they can derive
from believing that they " will, bo death to
the hopes of Martin Van Buron." K
1. Tho Committee on Finance of the
Senate have been sustained by Congress to
the letter in their report upon Mr. Web-
sTim resolution cil inquiry. In that re
port-the committee resist tho establishment
of the bank deposite system of 1830 defend
the policy of -tho gradual exclusion' from
circulation of bank notes of denominations
below five dollars, and recommend the mod
ification of the .deposite law of 1830 which
is mado by the passage of Mr. Wnianr's
bill. ,
2. Tho attempts of Mr. Webster and
the Bank party in the Senate to.iovive the
deposite law of 1830 were wholly defeat
ed. .
3. The same'attcmpts by his'man Curtis
in the House were equally unsuccessful!.
4. The House of Representatives has de
clared by a solemn vote, that the money
ot tho people ought not to, and shall not,
so far as the action of .that House' is con
cerned, be again surrendered to the banks,
to lio mado the foundation for bank loans.
Ill other words, the House of Rcprcstuiivca
has voted that a separation, so far, ought to
and shall exist between the public Treaury
and the banks.
5. The Senato has, upon this and all
other ocpasions, when tho question has
been presented to it, since the Suspension
of specie payments by the banks in May,
1837, made tho same declaration.
0. These expressions of the Representa
tives of the people in the two Houses of
Congress prove, what wo have oonstautly
asserted to bo true, that tho pc6plo of the
country demand a separation between Bank
and State, at loast so far as that the public
money'shall bo in no way connected with
tho business of banking.
7. Tlioy further show that tho reason
why no law has been passed, or will bo
passed, during the present session of Con
gress, to provide for the safe-keeping and
management of tho public money, in sub
stantial conformity with tho repeated recom
mendations of tho I'kxbidbkt, is not be
cause there is no a majority of the mom
bcis of both Houses favorable to" tho separa
tion, but because thero are differences of
opinion among tho friends of tho principle
as to tho proper details of a hill. - -
8. They further prove that the great ob
ject of the Republicans is tho safely-of. the
public money, and its convenient disposi
tion with reference to the public wants and
public interests, and that experience has
taught them that to surrender it to tho uses
of banking ia destructive of all these ob
jects. 9, The voto of the House against Mr.
Cuims'a amendment, nl'tor tho Republican
members had ao modified it as to deny tho
tise, but not tho keeping, of tho money to
tho banks, conclusively moves that tho sole
obhict of the Bank and Federal party is to
give the money of the people to the banks
to be used ana oame'i upon, rcganucss oi
public Trqaiury, Of lite figliN of the pub
lic creditors. ' - ' -
Suclf is tho Issue fairly mado up between
the two great parties ii, Congress ani. in
tho country. Can thero be any doubt upon
which side Republicans will be found!

On Thursday evening, the 5th of July,
the Banks of Philadelphia City and County
agreed, by a majority of five, to resume
specie payments 'on or before the 1st of
August next. 77ic- United Stales Bank
true to its mania of opposition to the best
interests of the country, voted, (with three
others) against the Resumption. Let the
pcoplo remember this.
An act has past both houses of Congress,
providing a penalty of ten thousand dollars,
and twelve months imprisonment, for issu
ing the ressurrcction notes of tho old Uni
ted States bank, and Mt. Biddlc hss
commenced paying out the notes of the new
bank. . -r

THE RESIGNATION :
OF DAVID " R. PORTER, seems to
trouble his political. opponents no Utile; and'
they carp about it amazingly, because he
has not seen fit to allow them to fix the day
on which he shall resign his seat in the
Senate. "
Now to tho-cloctors of this Senatorial
district, friends and fbea,- wo ate authorised
to say go on and nominate your candidates
to fill the vacancy, for he will resign in am-"
pie time previous to the gcntral election lor
the issuing of writs for the election of his
successor. , .
From tho "billing and cooing" which has
been kept up between Gov. Ritnerand "the
monied aristocracy" on the subject of the
million loan, authorised by the act of last
session; it was not known how soon a spe
cial session of tho Legislature might be
called; and of consequence a special election
ordered to fill the vacancy .if Gen. Porter
had resigned. Then would tho air have
rung with tho enormity of tlie expense
which would have been brought on the sev
eral counties in' this district by the demo
cratic nomination of the' 5th of -March Con
vention. - Nay more although our adver
saries could not probably elect their candi
date at a special election, in this district yet
having their principal eirength in the aris-
torracy of tiro towns and villages, and their
hosts of r&tnuioi-s. tilof5 H-Iinoor-'Mot-lesfi
than 1-80 miles" of rail rout! and tfnnal, while
that oT the democracy isj as it always has
been, among the labourers' and yeomanry
of the country, they could in all probability,
at a special election, reduce the democratic
majority somewhat, and then we should
have been deafened with tho boastings of
even that small glimmering wf hope.
.Why a gentleman direct from Uoll'ulays
b'urg has this week Informed lis that Thad
deus Stovens proclaimed publicly, that he
had written to .HarrlSburg to have a consul
tation there on the propriety of convening
the Legislature immediately on the subject
of the recent destruction of the upper divis
ion of the Juniata Canal. '
No, no, gentleman, you cannot bo in
dulged with a special election, but the suc
cessor of Gen. Portpr'in thp,.SEnate,u,i7&e
elected on the second Tuesday of Or.tober
next, "when every freeman cah'h'ave the op
portunity of selecting the man- of his,
choice. .'
THE WRONG ONE. -
A. good joke about. Grand Vizier Stevens
is going the rounds, In one of his explor
ation of the State, ho chanced to stop at
Wrightsvillc, in ' York county. Here ho
met an old farmer, whom, as usual, lie pio
cecded to sound politically: ',
'Well,' said the' Vizier, 'Uow will tho
elections go in your district!' v,'
'AH one way,' answered the farmer.
'And how's that!' Interrogated tho Vi
zier. i
'Well wo are all going1 for Porter. 1
thinfi ho will make a good Governor.?
'Why, is not Governor 'Kitner a good
one!." . . .
,No Why he is no 'Govcfnor. . Thoy
say he don't even think for himself. Now
I like to, voto for a man who can think for
himsolf,
'Why there novor was a belter Govern-
Yes and thoy say that he is contioled
by a groat rascal; who loads him by the
nose with case. Porter will lead him
self." 'Well, and who leads Ritncr!'
'A fellow called ThaUiUus Stevens.' ' No
body eho is wicked enough to undortako
tho job!'
Tho President of the Board of Canal
Commissioners laughed. W as ho not struck
with the Irankloss of this plain fiirmor!

tie it remembered that 'on this day, the
Gth of July, 1838, Biddlo's Bank owes the
Stato Banks of tho city and county of Phila

MILLIONS OF .DOLLARS, .which pre
