upon us by the venerable falher of his coun
try, wc should bu brought into immediate
suhjeeiion to the Bank of England, and
Jo "choose peace or war," as slio mignt ui

Considerations of this nature induced our
excellent president, Martin Van Buren, to
assign to congress his reasons for believing
that lbs establishment of an Independent
Natioail Tressary, a3 contemplated by the
conilitutinn. is necessary to tho safe action
of lite federal rovcrnment. It is indeed
necessary for the very existence of our free
inslitutiotis. If Iho public money be taken
from i'.c people, and transferred to the
banks for th&ir private uses : if the treasury
of tho people he at the command cf banks
and not at the command of the people; if
by a perverted, false, and pretended 'credit
arstam," our resources and strength are
placed at the mercy of tho British Parlia

the success of the democratic cause; at tnq
pproaching election, is a manor ol joyiut
ceriamly.
In conjunction wnn iius aaio Biaiesmau,
j nominate ulso ss the choice of Penn

tional Convention, Col. Richard M. John
son for Vice Piesident. Col. Johnson'?

As a roareacntativc of the people in (oh-
grass, for a period "of .qic than thirty
year, Col. Johnson's couwa has always
bern distinguished for plain republican
truth, and active and extensive usefulness.
IIo has always been a democrat a regular
uniform, and consistent democrat of tho
Bound old Jefirrsonian school ; a firm in
flexible and generous hefted friend of the
noor man t and the srilous and faithful
advocito of ihe rights of tho widows and
orphans of the gallunt mudters, who per
ished in defcrine of tlioir country. To him
the voire of snflerini' vaa novet addressed,
witlimit pscitin compassion, end his hand
was novcr backward to'srant rcliaf. IIo is
a noblo hearted man and soldier, a states
man of sound and expcricnc.d iudsineut.au
ofllrer of extensive and and long continued
public services; and a citizen, who, in no
single instance, has ever dopartcd from
genuine republican principles. As he start
p.l in no'litical life, so Is he now ; and while
life remains, you may be uiiro that Col
Richard M. Johnson, will invariably con
tinue the same, unchanged and inflexible
democrat nnd Datriot
blc and eflicient services of Col. Johnson in
ln IllnncrouD ina,iiiv:us mo iiickij .m
ln-riiintinn. have been deenlv felt to tho
lasting benefit at lna tJliow-cii.Eens. up.
on his ronorts in Congress, tho laws rnak
intr nrovisions for the widows and ..orphans
of aoldiera, and for tho surviving, evldiors of
ths wars, were founded, lie alaJ led tlie
way in the very humane and maninimous
effort to abolish imprisonment fyr debt ; an
jtclion, which should endear fijm to every
American citizen, and' which oe, would
i. .,ru,i,.i n-nrih. na to entitle him iutyjto
lent mind, J --de of every bentivo-
Col. Johnson, thoiigh he enrolled him
self for the dcfcnct(ot-liis.v,country, and
scaled his devotion , to liberty w.iili his
blood, was not a aulJicr for professional
honor or private gairf.v The"cenice which
Im rendered was tho service of a citizen for
a beloved country, , Being a member of
Congress in 1812,hefvoted for tho declaration
of war against Greaf Britain, and after the
adjournment of Co:gress in July, ho vol
unteered as a privutp soldier in the ranks, to
peril his life in sustaining that war which
he had himself p.irnciputed in declaring.
Not long afterwards lis was called by. his
brave compatriotsito the command of a reg
iment; and by hi promptness and gallant
bearing, soon redeemed his state from the
miseries of unr-ucccsoful war, and Indian
msssactes.
Such arc the claims and such the servi
ces of Col. Johnson. His acknowledged
merits, his frank gcncrous-hcarlcdi.css, his
honored scars, and the rtiterm and Invo of
all who knew him, arc abundant testimonies
of his worth and qua'.ifiications. IIo him
self asks nailing, being content to retire to
private life, or to euniinue in tho service of
his country, as ki..fcllow-citizna may re.

our first caro should ho that health may bo
effectually and fully restored, in tho very
speediest tiino ; and attcrwarda that a simi-
at danger should never cgam, tinner any,
possibility, recur. In tho administration
of Governor Porter, and in tho legislative
action of our democratic members in the
Senate and House, we perceive uu hostility
to the evils of banking, and a uetonnina-
tion to root them out ; at tho same lime an
earnest regard to the general weltarc, and a,
desire not to injure tno citizens niiu tn.e'
commonwealth, in an attempt to strike ai.'uj,
destroy tho enemy which Iras fastened ijs.
tnlonn upon us. Confiding alike in, thuir
intqgrilv ana patriotism, we eanic8iiy up

effectual, and radical reform in banking,

A State Treasury exhausted and rondyed

left for tins present Excculivo to dueling;

the authority of law ; against tho wishes and
contrary to the rcmuiistrancco of the peo

and corruptions of tho Rilner or opposition
party, demand the sure hand of reform, but
at tho same time, the firm heart of the pa
triot, tho wise and deliberate judgment of.
