emaincd open to the inspection of the
vhole world. Gen.' Porter was obliged
recently to apply to those books for evi
dence to defend against suits brought against
lim as the only remaining partner who
could bo reached. He braved the storm
and stood his ground through all this, and
left but ten claims unsettled when he ,was
forced to surrender.-And to show to what
nn'uncxampled extent he sustained his in
tegrity and character for fair dealing, in
those various unpleasant and unfortunate
litigations what more conclusive testimo
ny can be asked than this: at the very
next fall being a candidate for a seat in the
legislature, there was but one solitary vote
polled against him, ih'thevory townslrip'in
which the wholojnf these transactions tbok
place. Fes out of 10 1 votes polled, he re
ceived 153 1 ! and now at the end of 20
years, he is to be charged, forsooth, with
bteamno ins own books! and that too bv
a set of characters who have been guilty of
stealing the irons off their neighbors' wag.
cons, and selling them for tho purpose of
raising a little money; stealing the buttons
off a man's coat and grists of grain out of
the mill. And all these charges trumped
up in the form of affidavits (for which tho
miserable miscreants are not. punishable by
law,) by a renegade yankeoy. who fled his
country for robbing a benev6lcnt societ.y
out of money appropriate, to buy bread for
FAMISHED AND STARVINO LITTLE ORPHANS,
and their helpless widowed mothers!!!
Since the foregoing was in type we have
received the receipt of.John Stonebraker to
James Allison, for tho $102.93 on the last
bond, and on which he has sworn he never
received one cent !

The last afGdavits slander against the

vided for that deficiency; and also for the
xpenscs of' going to Ueavcf for the money,
and asked Mr. Porter for the bond which
ecamedue in 1823. To this, Mr. 'Porter
seemed unwilling, and endeavored to assure
Stonebraker that he would mane up the de
ficiency in some way or other; and said that
he wanted, this last bond to go to George
Davis for money he-had boriowed I think
he said borrowed to pay John Emigli.
Stonebraker still appearing dissatisfied. Mr.
Porter threw down tho bond saying, '.'there
let Stonebraker and Owens be first paid, and
Davis you must wait, 1 will raise tho money
for you some day br Wier." When the
assignment was about being made on the

leaVo the neighborhood in the spring, the as

Stonebraker after which being done, the
whole of tho other securities previously left
with Stonebraker, were returned to Mr. Por

takes in tho old man's affidavit they wore
left with him until tho 9th day of January.
lBi'J, anu wero on mat uay given up again
to Mr. Porter, and not after his failure.
On the I5the August, 1820, I called oh
Mr. Porter, then managing at Shgo foiges
for R. T. Strewart, and representing to him
the urgency of my situation, he advanced
to me $100 on 'the said last bond, ho agree
ing to wait font till'lt'could be collected out
of tho bond. I know that in May, 1821
he loaned to George Davis. $101), to be le
paid when it could be raise! out of said last
bond. Anu although old John fctoueoraKer
sweats that he never recieved a cent on this
last bond; yet he is not only charged in
statement rendered by Mr. Allison, with the
sum of $102,03 paid to him on that bond
but I have seen Stonebraker's receipt for

In the Spring of 1825, Stonebraker went
to the West to see his friends. I think he
said a brother. He said he would go by
Beaver, and bring in the balance of tho mon
ey, and that we would then settle and see
how the matter stood between us. When
he returned, however, he waived the matter
and declined giving me any account of what
ho got, and has never to this day told me.
lie has received considerable more than his
share xf the money aim having transfercd
his properly to his brother-in-law, Archibald
Hutchinson, most cieany ana unqucsuona'
blv to defraud me and the rest of his c'icdi
tors, I have never thought it worth while to

As to tho statement of voting John II
Stonebraker, it is a palpable absurdity on
the face of it. There never was a division
f the bonds between his father and me.

TRIUMPHANT REFUTATION OF
THE MOST WILFUL STANDEKS.
Wn (rivo below from 'tho Huntingdon
Advocate another statement from Mr. 'Ow
ens, which puts ,to rest the vile calumnies
containntnn tho infamous affidavits of the
two Stonebrakers. Mr. Owens, it will, be
recollected was joint bail with the dlder
Stonebraker for David R. Porter, and ,1ns
statcmcnt'shows beyond all doubt that, the
father and son have sworn to that which
was not true. Mr. Owens is an oxcmnlary
and pious man, an elder of the Picsbyterian
i i .i . i . -i.,
church, anu among tno most inguiy respect
able men in Huntingdon county.
We also annex from the Advocate several
certificates of respectable citizens of Hunt
ingdon, which prove that old Sto'nebrake'i
has repeatedly spoken .of David R. Porter
in the highest terms 'that he has said he
believed if there, was an honest man on
earth it was David R. Porter" and that
ho novel spoke otherwise until Governor
Ritner appointed Jus son John a "cross .on
the canal."
These certificates will be received by the
honest of all parlies' as complete refutation
of the vile calumnies gotten up and circula
ted bv tho officeholders. The friends of
Geu. Porter have challenged investigation
into his character. They know that it will
stand tho most rigid scrutiny. That their
confidence was not misplaced is fully pro
ved by the triumphant manner in which ev
ery slander has been piomptly met signally
rclutcd. r
What will the virtuous freeman think of
the libellers and their employers? Willthey
consent to aid in tho election of Joseph Rit
ner, who urges these calumniators on in
their vilo attacks upon his Democratic op
ponent! XV ill. they sustain the olhcer who
disgraces himsclt and the people he rcpre
sents bv resorting to such base means to
secure his own re-election ? Reporter.
THE SURPLUS REVENUE FALSE
HOOD OF THE RITNER PRESS
The organs of the Administration, acting
no doubt under official instructions, aro in
tent upon deceiving the, people as to the ac
tual condition ol the tjtate 1 reasury. I hey
have slated and the statement is going the
the rounds of their journals that tho whole
of the Surplus Revenue js placed in bank at
interest, and that it can llierelore be rclutid
ed whenever called .for. ,
This is totally untrue. At the time it
was rhado there was only $150,000 of the
surplus revenue left. Two days ago the
mount had been reduced to $100,000 thus
the whole amount of the surplus' revenue
with the exception of the $100,000 in Bapli
has been expended for the support of the
Government, and U tho btate were now
called upon to refund it, we should be com
nclled to resort to loans or taxation

The Iluzzai of Posterity. A. little hoy
near Hagerstown in Maryland, was one day
pointing out to mo a copse of trees as tlfo
placo where Washington at the head of tho
Virginia rangers, lought a battle long before
iho war of tho revolution with some Indians
headed by French from Fort Duqucsnei
how Pittsburg. Tho little follow had soma
balls of lead yhicl had been fir6d in the
battle, chopped from tho centres of the now
massivo aged oaks. I saw sunbeam of some
moral emotion in his eyes, and I asked him
further of Washingtdn, the brave youth who
led Virginian's 'into that thicket when tho
war-wlitdp shook its bough, and the nflo
rung in iils gloom.

through the .illustrious deeds of arms in
which Washington had been engaged, and
settled down at the closing sccno of YorkJ

marched but with their arms Washington
told 'the American army, 'My boys, let
there be no insults over a conquered foe !
when they lay down their arms don't huz
za ; posterity will huzza for you."
I could have hugged the little boy to my
bosorm Although he had not been able to
read probably more 'than Tour years, yet hi
mind had drank deep in moral greatness of
tho act of sparing the feelings of a fallen
foe. I asked him what it was that Wasfi

said 1; and he sent his clear, wild shout in

Providential Escape. As a young lady
of Philadelphia, on a visit to her friends in
this placo. and Miss Rohcr of this city, wero
looking over the precipice of Woodward's
Rock, she fell d6wn the precipice into tho
Conestoga river. Tho height of the rock
above the river, into which tho lady fell is
94 feet almost perpendicular. I he water
was about three leet deep where she tell,
... i
and win in some measure account ior ncr
miraculous escape ; for what is most extra
ordinary after emerging from the water, she
declared she was not hurt. This is certain
ly of the most providential escapes we havo
hoard of. Many years ago a young man, a
snnofMr. Franciscus, was looking over
the very same spot where the lady fell from,
and in like manner fell down the precipice;
but was instantly killed. Two other cases
of accident at the same spot aro fresh id
our memory ; and in .each the gentlemen
barely escaped with life. Lancaster
