We are now within a , . . .. few abort months! of the time appointed to place in power, nn tndvidiultto watch over me interests or inn commonwealth, for the next-thiee years. And aho, to plce in power two individuals lo guard the interest of tlii? extensive na tion. The candidates for the firei station ate already announced to the people of this rommonwritlih; and on one side the candi dales for the Other have lately been selected by ihe IJjItimore Convention. It now be comes the duty of every man to ascot tain fat 39 practicable the principle which these- men advocate! as it aiiouiu always oe hip f.tt priifuljlo In a lepubMcaii government !n suppcittimeasures. not men. What then are lite measures advocated by those who are alretfdy placed in nomination? The pari) claiming the name of whijf, and. the one which has maio its nominations, hold the inlio wing doctrine; and the persons nomlna led are pledged lo tho support of aurh mea: ores. First, a high tariff of duties. Second the distribution of the proceeds arising from the sale of public lands among the States. -Third, a national bank owned by foreign capitalists. And fotirlh, a lesiriciion of the veto power. To which they lung a a han dle the one term principle, because their partg never yet have had more than one lerm in tho course of twenty years. A high lanff is their fiist measure, which it must be admitted on all hands is not within the power of Congress in grant. And why thould we ask for a tariff higher than that which is necessary for a revenue; making revenue the principal; nnd at the same time giving incidental protection to tnanufactu ttis. This is the true policy that this eoun- iry should carry forward, (not create a tariff having for its principle protection and rev- enue an object of secondary or minor im- portance.) aurli a tnnii is necessary wholesome. Such a tariff has always been advocated by the democrary of the Key - ttone state, uui ii is urgen oy meauvo cates of the high pressure system that ihe imports exceed the exports. What il they -eomelrmes do! which is not alwaya the .case in laz'J uie exports oi manuiaciureu articles from the manufacturing establish in en '.a of the. United States amounted to ris ing of six millions of dollars. And have cur manufacturing interests declined since that lime? No, but they aie still on the scale of improvement, so thai we find om manufacturers sending their articles and wains even to China, and there undersell 'Jug ihe same kind of fabtick produced In European manufacturers. And this too. when the present unjust tariff had not yet oten biought forward. Second the dis'lii 'billion of the proceeds arising from tho sale of tha public domain. Wheie do we find ft'Vi i'U? state s to claimgAiyv PUf this .money to the states? Now the whole amount of land owned by the govemment ol the United Slates is rising of one Billion of icres. The government price of this laud i'b mc dollar and twenty five cents anacio.and in some years the sales have amounted to two' millions of acres, which would amount to two millions five hundred thousand doll- 'rs. This with the revenue arising from import duties is applied lo defraying ihe an nual expenses of the general government. But suppose thai Congrcsa lakes tho two and a half millions which lias accrued (o the treasury, and distributes it among ths states ' From wheurc is this deficiency to be repair ed? There-is but one way; and that 'u direct taxation, and in thai cfent there will i .. . u.. it.. ...:n:., r ., ' make good the two and a half that was taken from the treasury. Then by thitt process, the states would lose li.ilf a million of dol lars, and general government gain nothing, But this half million would go into thchands of an extra set of officers, which would be v.realed in the shape of lax collectors. Could tjiere be a. more duigernus policcy pursued by ihe Mates, than to accept such di'xtribu lions, if Congress passed the power to make them? Il would be foi the sole purpuse of taxing their citizens for the s?ke of taxation, 'which should be siduloUsly avoided by all Koirrnmcnta, when it is not called for by Hie achul wnnl of the government. Not withstanding such would be the ruinous no Jiey of Uio distribution scheme.Hcriry Clay, arm joscpu iiMrnir,-ire 114 supporters, Ulaj Jit least has advocated such a rchemi! foi years, ami all the Clay orators of the day herniate not (u declare themselves identified w)ih such a Hihrme- A National Dank ii the iimci mcaoure advocated by this party Hare wo not hail sufficient light already on the beauties and blessings of the hanking i.ysiem in general? But where do wc find Congress invested with ihe power to create a national bank? The constitution of the United Sutee, gives no sucli power; all thai Congress cut dn in this matter has already I ecu done. A United Stales mint has been csublirhed since the year seventeen hundred mid tiinety one and in the year eighteen liundml and tlrirty one struck different coin amounting lolhiee millions nine hundred and twenty three thousand four hundred and seventy three dollars and sixty cents. This was the operation of the mini for one yoar; and yet ihe money coined in the U. State does not constitute the half of the coin in circulation. Foreign coin huld a conspi euous pUce in the monied transactions ol this nation. Such then being the fBCt t)ai C'onufest has not the power 10 establish a nationnl hunk of any description, much lar ou Congress grant lo fiveu;ii ?apiuligig dn privilege of flooding iha tmiin wiih an 11 cedeemnble paper currency .bearing upon i" face tho (.ai.ruon of the U.

The answer is no.- During the administration of John Qolnc) Adams when the old United Slates Dank was in its highest state of health nnd pros perity, tho furuior realized less for his pro duce tlnn lie has done from the establish ment of the government down until this da) If any doubt this statement let them search luthentic record and they will find that it o even so; that both before and since the xd'iiiniftration of the younger Adams pro duce of all kinds has commanded n beltei price then it did then, And il must be self evident lo every reflecting mind that a bank of the United Slates then cannot aid the farmer, mechanic or laborer, And It is fur Iher shown, that since the bank was vetoed in 1832, the revenue of the government has been collected with as inuchwase as it was before. And (hat at' the efToits of ihe old bank could not bring the second sober tlio't of the people, to sanction the swindling op erations of an institution, that was yearly drawing large quantities of the precious metals from circulation; and placing in it slead a worthless paper circulation. A high tariff, a national bank, a national debt, tz a profligate bankitipt law, are four things that ate so closely united, that it will be with the utmost difficulty to establish the two first and not have the others also. And who does not recollect tho doctrine of Mr. Clay in 1832 and 3, on this point? That it was belter for a nation, a state or an in dividual, tu be in debt than tu be clear of debt; and acting upon thai high authority, the coons since they came in power, have extravagantly run the nation in debt eight ecn millions, in about two jears; and now have the effrontery to say that the exlrava and'gance of the present administration belongs 'not to ihem. To whom then does it be long? Are wo prepared to have the nation al debt increased, at the rale it has been in creasing for the last three years, so that national bnk, and another bankrupt law shall be enacted, lo help large swindlcm. and stockjobbers tu wipe off their debts at a blow! But we must not dwell upon these points but hasten lo the consideration of tho veto power. The framcrs of the constitution have wisely plared in ihe hands of the I resident the velo power; which is nothing moie nor less than a conservative pswer. The President, the Senate and the houso of Itepresenlatives constitute the Legislative Do cy 01 uie nation, And 11 1 nccessar thai ihe I'iceideni should exercise iho veil power al certain limes. Destroy or curtail dial powcr,and you at one blow destroy tin conaiiiuuon upon which is ouut all our MrP V JifVrca" InVt ftu oIin'f c Jr" ner stone.upon which llie whole superstruc lure is built. Take away from them the veto power, and vou havo what? Yoo have only the na.ne, ihe mere shadow, the iubstance is gone. Instead of a republic you have an aristocracy. May it not bo as ked why was this power given the Presi dent if he is never 10 use it In a republican government like that of the United States, the velo power is as es sentia! as tho balanco wheel in the machine ij of a watch; and the veto power as it now stands, holds the same place or posi tion in Leghlative operations, as a well poised balance wheel in a steady and cor reel lime keeping watch. And when we consider the nice adjustments, in the law making power of the nation: that the assent of the Presideat is necessary to anv act tr give it full force and effect, that the majori ty of the Senate and house of Represents lives must also give it their ranction; thai in case ol a non-concurrence of opinion in tho Senate, the House and President can make no law, or if iho same happens with ihe House, ihe President and Senate can make no law. Why should ihe veto nower be destroyed so as to set aside the power of the President? It never has yet been abused by any of our Presidents, and used only when ihe good of the country has demand ed tho power to bo brought in requisition; and whenever any of ihe Presidents of the united estates has used the veto nower. he Ins univeisally been sustained by the pea pie. The exercise of the veto haa enabled the people at large, and their representa tives to icconsiLcr the bill which had been vetoed; and every velo by any one of our Presidents has thus been sustained. and this consideration alone should lead men to deep1 reflection, before tpey attempt to destroy dial power which has now been l:eld and iustatned by the American nation for more than half a century. Onco lav tho ae of xorcUm upon tho constitution, and cut away a sine lo root nr hran,-h ml ii,n will soon bo mutilated. Innovation havioe once slatted we have no guarantee tht it win soon stop; but on the other hand theie .s a fearful possibility thai it will march with ptpid stride until it performs for these United Stales, this republic, what it has perfotmed for republics in other nations and m other days; that 11 will rapidly march lurward until the constitution has been torn 1'iec meal by its ruthless hand. H avinir shown some of the leading measuras of the wing pariy, ami shown too that they ate uncormiiutional and uncalled for; it now remains to s'ttow what are end ever have been, iho leading measures of the Demo cratic party. First, a larlffof duties having wmciiui! lurm principal, ana ai ie same lime giving imidenial protection, o ihe manufacturing interests of the coun 0. thereby sec uring ihe greater amount ol ,;tod 10 the greatesi-nmnber. Second. lhe ,te unwilliuL' voliinisrilv to throw avav one .f ths Rtot certain 'raeata of tevenue; and one upnn which more depends than any ono at first view would readily suppose: hat it, they sre unwilling to throw away tho national domain, or to give up a suie means of revenue, for one that must always tic precarious. Third, they are opposed to the creation of a national bank upon the orinclplea of the old one, because it glvts foreign capitalists the power to control he money transactions of the country; enables their partizans and friends to forestall the market, and drive from competition individ ual industry and enterprize. And belne opposed to such an institution, they aro op posed tu n national debt and parlizan bank nipt lawa, the legitimate children of a high tiiiff and national bank, rouilh, they are opposed to a restriction ol the eto power I hey aie unwilling to see, the fair face of that safeguard of republicanism, disfigured auu muiiiaieu: out wouiu guaru wan jealous and sacred care llnil constitution which has been our rallying point for more than half a conlurv. To thai they look as tho beacon light that has hitherto enabled tho men al tho helm of tho nation, lo steer the national ship through the political whirl winds of our own and other nations. Who then are the men Mm island identified with these meas ures? Mrun Van Buren fur the Presiden ey, and Henry A. Muhlenberg for the Gu berunWHi u chair. I hese are men who have been tried; the furmur has trod in the foot slops, of a long line, or illustrious predeces jots: the Washington, the Jeflerson, the Madison, the Monroe, and tho Jackson. Men who have shed a halo of glory around (lie American name, in the field, the cabinet and the council. The latter has stood forth as the firm, nnd unwavering friend of a freeman's rights; and his ancestors were ihe tried and firm menu ol the illustrious Washington. These men aro the champt ons of democracy; men combining high in telleutual qualifications, with uprightness of character; and gentlemanly deportment. Here then wo have belorc us the measures, or al least a few of the leading measures, ol the two great parties of too nation I with the measures that would, if carried out, de stroy the national constitution, squander the public treasure, plunge tho nation into an overwhelming national debt, and aid tho rug barons of Europe, to draw from this conn try, the currency the constitution guarantee to the Fanner, Mechanic and Laborer; stand iho names of Henry Clay for the Presidency, and Joseph MarlOe for ihe Gubernatorial chair. The for 111 (( of these has shown by his public acts that ho ia lit instrument to carry out any schema that may overthrow tho republican institutions of the nation. The latter is so little known thai evn his avowed friends, arc at a los where to find him. Some asserting one thing andtsome another, and mystifying the life and character of tho man so much, that it is hard to tell whether he is a Jew, Mahorneton or a Hindoo, whether ho is savage or civilized, a cannibal or what. r.i.mi or iuii,y tJiay. On ihe oihet hand, the measures thai were recommended and adopted fey Wash ington and Jefferson, and carried out oy .Madison, Monroe and Jackson, and if still adhered to; will secure the present and fa lure generations all the blessings of our ro publican institutions, are the measures with which Martin Van Uuron and Uenrv A Munlcnburg are luenttiieu. now 11 is not tho men to which your attention is invited ; but lo tho measures with which they art identified. These are the true points at is sue, and hence the actual necessity, and the imperilivo duty of every man lo search for information on these subjects. Loavo the matter not in the hands of partizans or par tizan presses. The information which U necessary can be obtained. Il only requires to be sought alter. 1 he acts ol former ro lers have become matter of history, and are recorded upon its pages, and lodged in the arclireves of this nation. It would help much to clear away the mists created by patent whiggery, to go back to the administration of John the first, and review some of ihe acts of that federal reign of terror, and from thence they can be traced through all their windings and change of names, down to the Clay whigs of forty four. Thus it can be rloaily shown, that the party that supported (he gag law, the alien ami sedition law, Ihe Hartford Convention, hoisted the blue lights and wore the blaqk cockade, are iho lea ders of the parly that woold ruthlessly lay the axe to tho treo of Liberiy. And not withstanding they are now exerting ever) nerve and muscle lo clevato men who are pledged in suppoit their measures; they wear false colore, and under the name of democracy, they would plunge Ihe assassin's dagger to the heart of Jeffersonian democra ry. Like the hungry vulture, they stoop to conquet, and cover with wings of hypo critical kindness, those they havo selected for their victims, and upon whom they in tend to fatten. As a striking illustration of this fact, look at iho processions and listen 10 the promises which they made in tho last presidenthl campaign. 'Then might be seen in many of their processions, a banner with tho inscription ' we atoop to conquer,' and never was a motto more lull v carried into execution. They did stoop. Senators and Governors stooped from their high sta lions to reiterate falsehood on falsehood, and pile promise on promise which they knew at the time they never could lulfil. They stooped to desecrate the sabbath, by log cabin powwows and tumultuous gatherings. They stooped to violate the sanctity of the ballot box, by plying men with intoxicating drink, until reason had forsaken ihem for tho time, that they might gain their votes They stooped lo hire men lo go fmm place to place to vole at their nmtcis burning. 1 ney stooped to establish corrupt presses as lure' lings to do their dirty work; and aid in r.iri culaiing their oft repeated slander and do traction, Thus it was that they did stoop, 8nd these were some of the V.eans of do ception that they used; and they will again use every means fair and foul to csiabindi their purpose. We have every evidence ol this from their forming their Clay Clubs, calling themselves Jefferson democrats. But change their names as tbey may; the) do not change their sentiments. You ma) roll n lpnnnl n Inmb. hut il will not nnv llu more possess the nrlure of a iamb, Si Jyou may call a blue light federalist a rcpub lican; a whig, or 0 democrat, or a national republican, or a democratic whig. the changt 'in the name is only a decoy wherewith to catch the unsuspecting. I hen if yon would avoid a recurrence of the gag law, and re tain and hand itown to posterity unimpaired youi republican lorm ot government and all your civil and religious instt tn ions , prevent your terri lory from being given, piece mea, to the enemies ol youi country, look well to the cause espoused and advocated by those who ask your suf frages. If they be talented as Themis loclcs of Greece, and have, like him, bar tered away their innocence for gold and for mammon, or sold the votes of their state, trust them not. The man who has once sold his reputation and independence for n few shining dollars, or betrayed the known nnd expressed will of his constituency at any time; has sol himself up for sale lo the highest bidder, and clearly and unqueslion ably shown to all who wish to sco it, that ho is ready and willing to desert his frienrh and soil his country, so that ho may but gratify his ambition. Such has been Ihe cotine of Henry Clay. In 1820 ho sold the vote of his own stale to John Q.Adams, andrecoived in pay the appointment of Sec retary of Stalo. His friends havo since given to ihcir allies, tho Lords of Great Bri lain, a part of the State of Maine, and still more recently they voterl lo give litem lite territory of Oregon. What does this show but llial they are ready and willing to do any thing to accommodate their foreign al lies. Does not this savor much of ihe spirit uf oldftoryism? Does it not show thai thero is in the republic an active and rest Ies9 spirit at wotk adverse lo republican principles? Does it not show that theie are men of great talents who, Themisiicles like, 1 1 j v 6 abandoned the principles of honesty, and given loose reign to the fascinating p.iwer of ambition; and who like Themis tides, having onco iiad their sentiments cor rupted with the power of gold, are now ready in mder to gratify that ambition lo stoop lo a llinusciid degrading vires, and make Use of eery means of deception to jam power. 1 he elements lor the over throw of this republic are already at work, and if not speedily checked, Ihe day is not far distant when the name of American, now looked up to with admiration, and hailed as the friend of mankind throughout the world, will have passed into contempt ind disrepute, and ihe fair tree of liberty, whose branches have stretched from sea In . -i l , 1 i :ir rear her monster head where now stand our republican institutions. Beware then, how you touch tho constitution of these Unitctl Stales. 1 list is the corner alone upon which all our political and religious insttiu tions arc founded, and it is only by watcli ing & defending it from the ruthless attackr of party madness and the devouring worm of innovation, that we shall preserve ooi institutions, and telain our llbertier, and hand ihem down to our children as we re coked (hem from out fathers, unimpaired.

That night the Clay Club was to meet, To humbly worship at the feot Of him who bold in honour's cause, Defied divine and human laws, Who, if the slightest cause wore given, Would fight within the courts of heaven. Each bore a Coon beneath his arm, (At present every trne whig's charm,) And loudly as they passed along, I'hey sang their favorite gambling song. Get out of the way, you're all unlucky, Clear the track for old Kentucky' One mountain echoed ' clear the track,' Another sent it booming back, It sounded through the winding vale, Like some lost spirit's fearful wail; Die dogs for five miles round gave tongue, Till with the roar the welkin rung. ' Oh hush' somo person near Ihem said, ' Your cursed 6croams will split my head.' And who are you?' cried one quite gruff, 'Whose head is of such lender atuff, It cannot bear a choice whig lay, Some loco foco got astray.' You'vo miaied your mark,' quoth ho quite civil, ' My common name, sir, is the devil, As good a whig as you or he; In fact the prop of Whiggery; And though we've noise enough in hell, As you youisclves know very well, There is none, by the pit I swear, That with your singing can compare.' The whigs then bowed with leverenced awe W lion they their honored soverign saw, And prayed he woold not take offence, At ought they'd done through lack of sense But he replied,' I am your friend, I come to counsel, cheer, commend, And therefore, when I aught reprove, I do jl wth omental love, , Your zeal and courage cons are tine, Your cunning almost equals mine; Ho hnrdshlps can your patience tire, You trudge through water, mud and mire, To I'otm processions, talk of Clay, Co sec acson, one ringtailed play. Press on with confidence and pride; For know I'm ever at your side; Sing on for songs delight the crowd; Hut do not sing so madly loud, For thinking men will take offence Al boisterous songs devoid of sense. Care little (or the laboring men, Yet praise them willi your tongue and pen; But mote than all dnnt have it known, That I nm whiggery s corner stone. Good by, I've many thingH to do, Dili next club night I'll visit you.' The younger whig was bathed in sweat, (lis limbs were clammy, cold and wet, A mortal fear crept through his heart, lie thought its flinty walls would part, Foi only twice before had he, lieheld the Prince of Wlnggeiy; But yet he smiled and s:id farewell, I wish you luck in eartli and hell.' On ebon wings the devil fled, A lamboat blue Uglil wreathed his head, And gpaiki of lire as thick as hail, Fell crackling, glowing fiom his tail. X.

Our statement with regard lo ihe account of Allen M. Gangower waf furnished by a Clerk in Ihe Treasury Department, and STRICTLY TRUE, and if the books are again examined, will so bo found. The certificates of tin Treasurer and Auditor are dated an tin 20th of January, eight days afler the time our statement was dated, and aftei ihe defalcation was discovered and made public at Ilarrisburg, and we venture to say, were given without any personal examination by themselves, trusling to Ihe integrity of llieir clerks for a cor icct copy of the entries. We therefore, attach no intentional error to either the Treasurer or Auditor. That the slate' menl published by Gangewer, is t fahi fication of the record there is no doubt; by whom made is another question. Some hundreds of dollars of Gangewei check rolls wore credited after the firsl of January, nnd on tho 12th the uookf were examined, and Ihe balance, as wi represented, slated to he due from him 1 ml by what hocus pocus arrangement ihe pajmenis aleruiards made were 'ranferred back upon tho books lo No vember and December previous we leave for tho light fingered gentry who stir round Ihe Star office, to unriddle.
