    the tacred volume. Now, although this in not
my opinion, yet 1 choerfully secede to others
their right to differ from me, and I do not think
that this difference of opinion fehould be tniide
to disturb '.ho harmony of a school, fur our Com
mon School System of education depends main
ly for succew upon the united ctlorts of the peo
ple of the several districts. This opinion I have
always fully expressed. It is now made ground
work of a bitter accusation against me. It is
to be regretted Unit one who has, by his whole
life and conversation, reverenced the Holy
Scriptures, who in the good old way was at
school, advanced from Dilw.irth's spelling book
to reading in the Testament, and then took rank
with the head class by reading in the Bible,
thould be arraigned before the public, as an
Vnemy to, or showing any the remotest disres
pect for the sacred volume, because he respects
tho opinions of those who believe that other
books should be used to teach children the art
of reading'.
I am yours, respectfully,

Below we give the correspondence between
tho Committee, appointed on the part of the De
mocratic State Convention, and Francis R.
Shunk, informing him of his nomination by that
body. It is nn interesting correspondence and
will be read with interest by every democrat in
the state.

licit your acceptance ofi', they beg leave to
congratulate you upon the manner in which
your name has been placed before your Dem

tirntlcmrn I have received your co'iimu
tnication informing me that I was nominated in
t Convention on the spcond inst., as the Demo
cratic candidate for the office of Governor of
Pennsylvania.
By the nomination of Mr. Muhlenberg, the
hopes and confidence of the Democratic party
vf the State were concentrated in him ; his un
expected and lamented death lias forced the
party to seek another citizen, as his successor.
The Convention his been pleased, with unex
ampled unanimity, to select me fortius purpose;
in accepting life nomination, I most sincerely
end highly appreciate the distinguished hoi. or
conferred upon me ; while at the Mrr.e time, I
feci the unpleasantness of ihe position in which
1 am thus placed, and the heay responsibility
of the station, to which the Democracy of the
State would call me. Tue unpleasantness of
inv nositioii is seen in the fact, that niv nriviite
and political character, has already been placed!
upon the public tahlo for dissection, and assai
led with no ordinary degree of virulence. To
fc'cape calumny I cannot hope, but I trust that
a life not altogether unknown, will shield my
reputation, and be the criterion by which it shall
lie judged.

Owing to the intim tie ennnexion nf this doc
trine with the politics ofthe (ieneral, as well
as the Statp, fiovernment, and from the neces
sary influence of each uhid (lie other, the lead-
ing measures and principles, both of parties and
candidates, are with uroorielv discussed snd ex.
i i j
mined in ell our public contests, whether rela
ting to the State or the Union.
As a party we believe that the less man's na
tural energies and talents ere interfered with
by law, the better, excepting only when this in
terference is necessary for social order. We
would have no legislation in favor nf particular
classes. We would give to every citmen an e
'jual ttiance in the conflicts of life, by abstain
ing, as much us possible, I'r.iiu all Govertnental
rcatrainta upon the frccd-jin of action, and from
all Govermental contrivances, thatcan be bene-
ficial only to particular portions or claws of ,
eoctety. believe in the competency of man I
for aelf-government.Bnd that every ciliaen.ofi
competent age, has a right lo a Voice in giving ,
direction to the course of government, even
though hia judgment be not purified and en
lightened by the possession of landed estate.
We believe that banks, as heretofore organized,
and conducted have been injurious to the far
mers, mechanics and manufacturers and all the
laboring classes of society, including the great
mass of their customers, by reason of the exer
cise of their unlimited power of inflating and
depressing the currency, and, that the evil ought
lo be cured by a removal of its cause.
A subject of great interest in Pennsylvania,
a the credit of the Stale, which haa been sha
ken in no ordinary degree. Its speedy resto
ution to full vigor cannot be dsubted, when we
onsidcr the agricultural, commercial, manu-
factoring; and mineral wealth of the Common
wealth. The moral and physical force of the
people, their skill, intelligence and virtue will
neveryield, until all demands upon the honor
and faith of the State are redeemed. A repub
lican government, rightly administered reflects
the character of the people i and the citizens of
Pennsylvania will exert their energy and pow
er, to place their beloved Commonwealth in
that elevated position, for faith and credit, which
distinguishes them aa individuals. They reject
the political heresy, which is tolerated in cor
porations, that there is a difference between the
obligations of individuals, and of the associated
individuals, to pay their just debts.
By the discussion of the Tariff two points ap
pear to be settled in this State, at lea it in the
view of the Democratic Parly. Fir.-t That
our true policy is, to lay its foundation in rea
son and justice, to secure its permanency, and
not in party feelings, to make it flourishing
And secondly That the revenue required for
an economical administration of the General
Government, and no more, should be drawn
from duties on foreign import, and in adjusting
tho details of these duties, discriminations
should be made fir cheiishing and encouraging
all branches of domestic industry. To increase
these duties beyond the permanent wants of the
Government, involves a right to collect money
for other purposes than those for which the peo
ple adopted the Constitution of the United
States, For, in order completely to secure and
nrotect the nrincinlrs of r.malilv above snoken
0f, we contend for the sacrednew of the rule of
construction, found in the Constitution itself,
,hat...,ie pnvvcrs l)()t delecuted to the United
r. I I - I J -'I
Sl-,cs ,,y t0 collslituti,m( ,lor prohibited by it
to the States, are reserved to the State respec
tively, or to the people."
To raise by taxation cither for the purposes
of Internal Improvement, or for distribution,
more money than is required for the expenses
of the government, would have a direct tenden
cy to establish a great central power, deriving
its force and influence from the annual appro
priation of large sums of money. Thus the Ge
neral Government would become the almoner i
of the States, or ofthe people of the States; and,
i instead of adhering to the simple principles of
j government introduced by Jefferson, and going j
j onward in tho inarch of freedom, we should re- !

FOR THE AMERICAN.
The Whig County Convention.
This imposing Body met at the Court House,
in this borough, on Monday last, the 10th inst.
The proceedings were very harmonious and
passed ofT with great eclat.
On motion of David Taggart, Esq., JOHN
B. BOYD, Esq. wai called to preside; and on
motion of the President, David Tagoart, Esq.,
was appointed Secretary.
On motion of David Taggart, Esq , it was u
nanimously Resolved, That James Pollock, Esq. be and is
hereby nominated as the Whig, Bank, Anti-Texas
candidate for Congress in the 13th district.
Resolved, That James Pollock is a gentleman
of distinguished ability, powerful on the stump,
and from the skilful manner in which he gets a
round the questions of chartering; a United States
Bank and raises the cry of Tariff! Tariff! ! we
have some faint hope of electing him.
Resolved, That we refrain from nominating
Lot Berestresser, as the Whig Bank candidate
for the Assembly, and permit him to run as a
volunteer candidate, for that is the only way we
can deceive the stubborn democrats, and get them
to vote for him.
Resolved, That we are in favor of Henry Clay,
because he is in favor of a United States Bank,
and that the currency can only be regulated by
such an institution.
Resolved, That every honest whig be request
ed to shout Tariff! Tariff! Tariff! until the
Heavens ring, for it is the only plan by which
we can M'rM the Democrats as to the great ob-
ject we have in view viz: a United States Bank. those Schools, the enduing Autumn A Wirier, will
