'"When a man gets his name up, he can
lie in'bcd late in tho morning," is an old
adage, and the editor of die Danville Intelli
gence! thinks he can prpfit by,it. Wo hope
ho may. But we can assure him, that if lie
expects to add to -his influence with the dc
mocratic party hi this section of tho county
or nny where else whero we are known, by
ungenerously (wo will uso no harsher term)
insinuating that we arc under the influence
of'Bowman, or of his political friends, he
will be mueli mistaken in his calculations
We have been too long in political life, and
have too long battled with federalism and
whiggcry, to bo now coaxed or driven into
.their ranks, not even by tho whigs them
selves, munh .less hy a professing democrat
who has aided, in more than one instance,
, in securing tho election of an opposition.

of tho democratic party. Others may talk
."of " 'easy virtue," sustain antimasonry'
.with ono hand, while they give a hypo
critical support to the democratic party with
the other and then boast of their democ
racy; but wp do not consider it a sine que
hon of our faith, that vvc should support to
day as.a democrat, a man whom yesterday
.'we opposed as a federalist nor do we con
sider it necessary, that we should publish
all the fulsome resolutions that may bo pro
duced, for the express purpose of. bolster
.ing up the cause of any one.man, whether
'they arc manufactured at Danville, or else
where; and certainly, wc do not consider
'ourselves underbuy obligations to, publish
tho proceedings of mectings,of friend or foe
Imld within six miles of us. the officers of
which do not furnish us with a copy, but
forward it to an office some 20 miles dis
tant, and there retained so that wo could not
publish them inder three weeks after tho
meeting was held. . , . ,
We have no disposition to " exchange
political salutations" with any one profess
ing the same political faith with ourselves.
Wc war not for men, but for principle, and
the usages and practices of tho party. If it
bo necessary to sustain them unimpaired
from the attacks of an open or covert foe
we Shall' always be found ready to buckle
jan tho armour of battle, and repeat the cry
of Richard III.,
" Lay on Macduff,
And damn bo he who first erica hold."

Good Ncius. From every part, of the
Stato wc receive tho most cheering intelli
gence in reference to the coming election
and the prospects ot JJavul It. Porter. In
tho North, South, East and West tho de
mocracy tiro awake to their duty. They
are rising in their strength", and preparing
for the conflict, animated by the prospect of
certain victory, the vilo and mlamous
slanders sent forth against Mr. Porter, in
stead of-operating to his prejudice, have
brought hundreds into his ranks who for
merly supportcu uitnor.. Aiiusomc ot tno

their columns. But it won't do trcnilerncn
Like the Governor with his proclamation,
you are to late. The people aro acquaint--
ed with your designs. Your altemps to
traduce and villify the reputation of a good
man have recoiled upon yourselves, and
would alone cause your inevitable over
throw. We repeat, you are to late. The

administration must sink bencatli the frown
of an indignant people, for they have dc

UNDENIABLE FACTS.
It is a fact, tho appropriations made by
Gov. Ritncr's federal legislature of 1835 30
amounted to S5,1G123G, which were main
ly provided for by bank bonusses.
it is a laet, that the surplus revenue re
ceived in 182'7i from tho national govern
ment, amounted to $2,807,514 78-
It is a fact, that the revenues of the 3tate
in. 1837, derived from tho improvements di
vidend3 licenses, taxes, fec. amounted to
Sl,730,511 GO. Taking this as a medium
year, it would be fair to call tho yearly re
venues lrnm the same sources, under Jo
seph Jtitncr's administration, $1,500,000
which in 3 years amounted toj 84,500,000,
It is a fact, the appropriations ol tho last
sessson overgo the amount of monoy.in the
treasury, by at least the sum of 81,000,-
000.
It io a fact, that by the addition of these
several items it appears that tho expenditures
under the three years of Gov. Rilner's fed-
eral administration will amount to the CJior-
mous sum o'$13,828,8G0 78.
It is a fact, that notwithstanding, this vast
and unparalleled expenditure, no now rail
roads or canals have been brought into use,
nor liao any portion of the stale debt been
paid
It is a tact, that under tho six years ol
Gov. Wolfs democratic administration,
817,000,000 of dollars wero expended and
about eight hundred miles ol rail road
and canals completed, which aro now
vieldintr 1,GOO,000 anual revenue,
It is a fact that the yearly expenditure
of Joseph Ritncr's administration, have far'
exceeded thoso ot any proceeding uovcrnor,
whilst no conimensurato bcnelit have been
produced.
It is a fact, that the surplus revenue was
received on deposite, and, the state, being
bound to rclund the same, that it torms an
addition to the state debt which with bank
bonusses, that must bo repaid should the
stato resume Uov. Kitnor's monopoly
grants, amount to over eight millions, and
swell the state debt to rising ol $JJ,OUO;
000.
All th'e'so" facts aro undeniable and can be
proved by tho records of tho commonwealth
Thov aflord a strikmir commentary upon
the profligacy and extravagance of the fed
eral party whenever tlioy obtain power,
and a convincinir proof that tho cry of

come out in support of B;AV1D R. POR
TER. It is edited .and published by Wil.
liam A. Kinsloc, formerly one of the editors
of tho ' Anti-masonic State Democrat,"
of Harrisburg, (now tho ' Pennsylvania In
telligencer and Slate Democrat. J Changes
from Ritncr to Porter among tho voters of
the country, by dozens, are an every day
occurrence ; but an active and tallchted ed
itor, who has for several years ardently sup
ported Ttitner and Antimasonry, to change,
and come over with his paper, is an event
winch oliows the rottenness and corruption
of Ritncr's party to bo gfcat indeed. We
give the address of Mr. Kinaloo, and ask for
it a careful persual. Keystone.
A lew weeks since, wc supposed tho
Ritncr party in Pennsylvania to bo honest,
high-minded and just, but since that time
wo have become acquainted with circum
stances which forces us, reluctantly too, to
withdraw our aid Irom that party, and give
it to one which we havo hitherto opposed
with all the zeal and Oii'srrty wo were capa
ble ot bringing to ' hear against it. This
change in our political 'course' has not been
tho result ol disappointment in obtaining
portion of tho loaves and fishes, or a desire
to be with the strong party. We weighed
the matter cooly and dispassionately, and
camo to the conclusion that it is much bet
ter: to bo branded a ' traitor,' turn -coat,'.'
and all other epothcts' which will be applied
to us, than knowingly support a partv
wiiosc officers aro so base and corruptas to
declare that it is better to SPEND THE
WHOLE OF THE APPROPRIATION
MADE TO THE WEST BRANCH
CANAL, IN-SECURING THE ELEC
TION OF JOSEPH RITNER, THAN
TO HAVE PORTER ELECTED."
Ever since we arrived at tho age which
entitles Pennsylvanians to a vote, our aim
has been to have honest rulers elected, who
will study the interests of the stato alone,
and disregard the low, potty schemes, too
frequently resorted to by these in power to
retain their otliccs. In 1835 wc opposed
Gov. Wolf, not so much because we dis
liked the great leading measures of his ad
ministration, but because wc believed that
every office holder under him was engaged
in a warlare against the people in order to
bo able to gldt themselves on office, and wn
now oppose Joseph Kitner lor the same rca
son. 1 . ..
Wc have always believedi 'that jn party
lone in power, becomes corrupt; b'ut we
had no idea, until the letting ot tho oinna
mahoning extension ot tho West Branch
Canal, that the Ritner party, in 1838,-would
be found guilty of the very charges made
against tho Canal Commissioners in 1835.
We honestly stipposed the old Canal Com
missioners to have wastod. the people s
money, and to have squandered large sums
on lavorites; now wc mow the present
Commissioners to the pursuing this very
same course, and sooner than support such
men, we would suffer the great unchained
to take us under his card.
Prior to the letting, wc were .frequently
told by Porter men, that favoritism would
bo resorted to by Mr. Stevens, in securing
to Kitner men the most prolilablc sections,
without any regard to the pneo at which
tiey
bid, We at that time denied tne truth
of this assertion, but now we know they
were correct.
In changing our-' support from one candi
date to the other, we. do not wish to be un
derstood as changiTg our former political
principles; we go for the same measures
now that we ever went . for among which
are, a sound currenpy an "enlarged and
liberal system of Internal Improvements;
a univorsaPsyslem of Education, and a wise,
honest and economical administration ol the
affairs of Pennsylvania.
