POLtTICAIi.
The democrats in exposing their political
adversaries ate saved the necessity of even
resorting to facts as to the private character
of Joseph Ritncr although God knows it is
a very vulnerable one they find enougli in
his want of capacity and the necessary intel
ligence in his want of standing and firm
nessin his vacillating policy and his utter
recklessness as to the public good, in, all his
acts displaying his entire unfitness for the
station, which he .disgraces byflbeing the tool
and catspaw of Thaddeus Stephens, John
Rickey, Theophilus Fcnn and such like
cattle.
IJc owed .his election to the schism in the
Democratic party in 1835 and was elected
by a minority of the votes of Wolf and
Muhlenberg being nearly 13,000 more than
those polled for Joseph Ritncr he felt that
he had no Tight to be there aim has deter

power to prostitute the public patronage and

the corrtrrion hatjds, is ..wielded to sustain
the present rotten administration .of Penn

TO MY BROTHER FORGE MEN!
For forty-seven years have I worked at
tFe1 business of making iron, and would
never fidve brSiiglit my name before the. pub-
lie, had it hot been for the falsehoods which
have been circulated against my old em
ployer D. R. Porter for more than five
years I worked, for him during which time
Porter sold out to his partner.Edward B.Pat
ton, who afterwards failed. No man ever
attended to business more closely no man
was ever more klrid to the poor than was
David R. Porter during ; that. tirrie: anil whilst
his partner was receiving and entertaining
carriage loads of his friends, Geri. Porter
was ministering to the wants of his hands,
and employing his time more with thein
than With the faihionablb company who
were visijlng the works. .
I weil remember his conduct when the
tailuro took place he came to where we
was working and safd "well boys all is over.
I am a broken man, and I regret that you
have now to shift for yourselves. One thing
however is certain. Not one of you shall
ever lose a cent on account of the failure.
It is the debts of my partner that have pro
duced this result, but I will discharge every
cent that is. due from tho concern to one
ind all of you',' and well has he redeemed
his promise, If an honest and more up
right man than David R. Porter is now liv
ing, then I am greatly mistaken.

GREAT CHANGES IN LY
COMING. In noticing the unparalleld .corruptions
practised at the letting atJFarraudsvillc, wc
declared that "no honest man of .their party
no man whose moral sense was not en
tirely blunted and depfavedf could support
or countenance proceeeiugs so ROTTEN,
CORRUPT AND HEAVEN DARING"
and under the impression, that there were
many honest men who, were deceived into
the support of Ritnpr, we stated on that oc
casion, that "we would not bo surprised if
HUNDREDS who were for Ritncr before
the letting, would go for Porter now." The
result has gone far beyond our expectations;
not only the rank and file of the enemy, but
the sentinels on tho watch tower, the- lea
ders in their army, under a high sense of
obligation to God and their country, have
burst assunder the shackles of party, and
standing "redeemed, regenerated and disen
thralled" have proclaimed to the world that
they cannot support such high handed pros
titation of official power, as was disclosed
at the Farrandsville letting. Wo mention
as one of many changes, the Lock Haven
"Eagle," a paper which has heretofore been
a fearless and efficient champion of Joseph
Ritner. Located in the immediate, vicinity
of Farrandsville, -.where. the, letting, took
place, the editor of that paper had, .ample

FRAUD AND CORRUPTION
If the present board of Canal Commis
sioners should bo continued in office much
longer, we may expect to see tne stale a
bankrupt not worth a dollar, as all her vast
resources are now applied to the unhallow
ed puiposo ot purchasing and bribing men
to support the present State Administration.
This assertion can be proven to the'satisiac
tion of every man who, will iake the'trouble
of Examining 'foV iiins,olf.-. , . , ,
The following circumstance is, in itself
sufficient to cause every Democrat to startle
'.I . ' I I- .1 r . I

A few days since, three Canal Boats ar
rived at thp Collector's officp opposite, this
place having tne name "Joseph Julncr
printed on a. shingle and placed on their
bows, and cleared FREE OF TOLLS by
the Canal Commissioners, from Reading to
tarrandsville,.and back.to Reading. These
boats loaded at Farrandsville, two with coal
and the other with Fnc Proof Brick, and
going toll free have undoubtedly made a very
profitable trip. t
What right have the Conimisslonets to
exonerate any boat from paying toll? Can
they force tho Porter man to pay toll, and
amiw iuu luiucriuau iu go ireei xeaincy
can, for they have done so.
This is a new species of favoritism, from
which every honest lover of Pennsylvania
will turn in disgust; and it will bring upon
the Commissioners the contempt of every
high-minded and honest man.
Where will the corru
ption 'and depravity

of Mr, Stevens & Go. end? Undoubtedly
unless they are c!)eckpd , by the election of
Porter, in the overthrow ol every Democrat

DISGRACEFUL OPPRESSION.

of these discharged hands, and they told us
that no reasons were assigned for turning

Upon this he oilers to take issue and to

and acknowledge, that he. holds the "same
principles Willi the abolitionists who cal
led at his house in 1837 ; and with whom
he talked so "warmly on the subject," and
gave his opinions that "in three years the
abolition party would be strong enough in

As to what abolitionism is, wo fehull here
after show, both from the constitution, regu

calculated to break up our political and so
