became responsible for tho debts of Patton
and Porter. These debts wore to be and
should have been paid by Edward B Pation,
In Fcbtu.irv 1819. the creditors of tho late
firm drove Mr. Porter to tho last resort of
tho Unfortunate debtor, I was his counsel
throughout tho whole of his difficulties. At
that time ther6 Was not a whisper against
him of dishonest or dishonorable conduct.
Tho only sentiment evinced was a strong
feeling of commiseration and respect. As
evidence of this, in the fall of that year he
was blected a member of tho Legislature
from Huntingdph county, and received eve
ry vote cast in tho township of his resi
dence save one. If this fact is not tho very
highest evidence of character, I should be
at a loss yhcro to look for it.
In December 1824, Governor Shultzc
appointed him Prottonotary, &c. of Hun
tingdon county, which office ho held for 12
years. As an officer ho was a man of ex
traordinarv industry, intelligence, and at
tention to business. In private life, moral
aud exemplary in his conduct and deport
ment. I never heard a dishonest or a dis-
Ji-nnrnlilfl nr. I imnntpil fn hlrri. until after he
was nominated a candidate for Governor of

SERIOUS CONSIDERATIONS.
Why do the federal party, In the conduct
bf the prcscnt campaign, avoid all reference
to first principles utterly refuse to discuss
the measure and policy of the present stato
administration ? Why do they strive to
make the choice of our rulers turn upon
private scandal, rather than public consider
ation ?

people of Pennsylvania arc heartiivftired ol
him. Gen. Washington only ran TWICE
and why should Joseph Ritner be thrust
down tho people's throats FOUR TIMES?
What has ho dono for his country to givo
him the right of being baited on the public
for his iifo time ? Can Thaddcus Stevens,
Theoi Fenn, or any of tho other Govern
ors answer ? Too much of a good thing is
more than the people want, but too much
of a had one is insufferable. The "old man
of the sea" did not ride Sinbad the Sailor
with moro pcrlinacy, than Ritner does his
own good friends. Gladly will thoy shako
him off their galled shoulders. A'cy stone.

UNEQUIVOCAL PROOF OF GOV
ERNOR RITNER'S ABOLITIONISM.
Wo can PROVE by ihe! most respecta
ble evidence that, when the great abolition
convention was held at Alter's Hotel in this
placo in February 1830, during its sitting,
Governor Ritner TOLD a gentleman that
he considered that convention a FINE
THING tqat ho would now get, the sup
port of tho abolitonislsj the 'Quakers, the
anti-masons and the wliig?, and that ALL
UNrrED wolild secure his triumphant
reelection. He said also, at thesamo timo
he cosidercd that the ADOLITIONISTS
wcro treated VERY BADLY m not hav

given them to LECTURE IN. Wo

Tho new works commenced by Ritner'd
administration, not a mile of which is fin

completion 15 millions of dollars. In tins
