It will be perceived, has been chosen as a candi date to represent this District in the next Con gress. The people afil, well acquainted with "Mr. M'Sherry, and know also that he has faithfully dis charged the duties ‘ heretofore entrusted to him. Ho is the friend of the American System, and opposed to TAXING the people to uphold the extravagan ces of the present dynasty. So much is he op rred-to-laying . XES-orrthe-hard-weriting-a industrious people,that lie oven paid " the postage on his letters i &e-at-the last Ligislature, and strenu ously opposed the passing of the present unjust and oppressivirtesjpx./ His opponent, is a friend of those wild - rinsed that law, and if elected will, no doubt, carry its spirit with him into Congress. So, remember, that, by supporting JAMES 111 4 SHERRY, you SUSTAIN YOUR OWN INTERESTS. JoRN B. Moms. Esq. has been chosen a Dale. gate to represent Baltimore in tho National Con. rention, in room of Wm. WIRT, Esq.resigned. TAXES!—If we tacolloct aright, (says a late York Rttpublicari,) the TAX BILL goes Into ope. ration m this month. The public debt is now $15,000,000. It was enlarged last winter about 5,000,000 of Dollars, and we presume will be in. creased at the coming session about $5,000,000 more. This will bring it to 820,000,000. The interest on this sum is ONE MILLION, but much more must be raised to pay the collectors, &c. , therefore, we may set the sum dowh at 81,200,- 000 n: WIRT AND CLAY.--ErWa think our respected friend of the Frederick Examiner errs in saying that the Anti-Masonic party, in an "imperative and arbitrary manner, insist upon the withdrawal of Mr. Clay." However much we admire Mr. C. for his devotion to the American System, and his talents as an Orator and Statesman, we believe there are others a ho are as equally worthy of the highest office in the gift of the people. Conse quently, we cannot—do not, and will not, "insist" on his" w i thd rawal." I f the "Orator of the West," possesses the power and influence of uniting all the friendsof the American System, let his friends nominate him. lie cannot receive the support of our party. Because, we have made our cnoice, and in our Candidate we find Mi good a States. man—as' sound a Lit—its able a Politician, and as firm a National Republican, as in Mr. C. True, Mr. Wirt has never travelled about, preach ing aphis political creed; but whenever solicited, he has freely and candidly given his views and opinions on any subject. And whether the Anti- Masonic party "is waning as rapidly as It arose," time, that tests all things, will prove. At present, however; we know it is growing at home, and hear of its growth in other States, to the East, Vet, North and South. f our respected friend really doubts the purity of Mr. Wirt's Anti-masonry—it' he also doubts the, sincerity of the Anti-Masonic party, he ought not to wish or ask them to yield to his party—be cause, if Mr. W irt and the Anti.Nasonic party are •not possessed of correct principles, they would be no acquisition to any party. Respecting Mr. Clay's being "as much art An ti-Mason as Mr. Wirt," the acts ofeach will speak plainer than the words of the friends of either.— Mr.tilav Is, and always has been a high and stren. nous adhering Mason, and would think it a dis. grace to be termed an Anti-Mason. Mr. Wirt never took but one or two degrees, and has pub. fished to the world, that he considers "Masonry at seer with the fundainental principles of the social cempactt as treason against society, and a wicked conspiracy . against the laws of God and man . ; *mot °vont. Teak PUT Down;" deems it high and distinguished honor to be chosen the leader. of; the opposition against Masonry, and says he freely goorkwith us in the patriotic cause of "As. , PLIIMINO SOPRZJIAOY OP Tine LANNI." ' Therefore, taking all ithings into consideration, we ate not without, the hope 'of seeing, ere long, our respected friend of the Examiner "rallying a. mind the banner of" Winn AND THE LAWS.

Anti-Masonio Conferee Meeting. At a meeting of the-Anti-Masonic Con ferees, of the Congressional District compo sed of the counties of Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and Perry, at the house of Peter Hartzell, in Shippensburg, on Tues day the Ist November, 1831, Dr. PETER W.

Resolved, That we highly approve of the nomination, made by the late National Anti- Masonic Convention of William Wirt foi President, and . eintos El maker for ,Vice President of the United States, and that we pledge ourselves to give them our undivided support, and recommend them to the opponents of Secret Societies as deserv ing of their suffrages.?-e.soi-vec4-That.4-hese-proceedingsliesignt ed by the Chairman and Secretary, and pub lished in all the newspapers of the district. P. W. LITTLE, Chairman, GEoROZ FLEMING, Secretary. To the Independent ' , biers of the Eleventh Congressional District: FELLOW-CITIZENS! To such of you as are not shackled with Masonic Oaths, nor , influenced by a fatal bias to support the proscriptive princi ples of Free-Masonry, we desire to address a few candid and dispassionate remarks relative to the approaching Election. On the TWENTY-SECOND DAY of this month, it becomes your duty to elect one of your number to represent you in the next Congress. -- A party, which with un blushing impudence,claims to be Democratic —a party composed of actions, and frag ments of factions—of all such as are willing to answer the "HAILING SIGN" of Free-Ma sonry, have nominated, and recommended for your support, ROBERT MCCOY, Kr A HIGH AND ADHERING MASON to!! This party, whose great object is to sustain the Masonic Institution, have hitherto be guiled the people with false pretences.— Knowing the indignation which the people feel against that titled and 'cruel Order of Nobility, they have themselves professed to be opposed to it. But they havepretend ed that it was unnecessary- to orgapize a new party to carry such opposition into ef fect; that they would, under their old party appellations, exclude all adhering Masons. from office, until -the Irmtitutionshould be come--extinct. Many honest men, in prin ciple opposed to Secret Societies, have hith , erto believed them. With how much pro priety, FACTS will show :- 0::!r At the )Geneml Election in 1830, this same Democratic Anti-Masonic party nomi nated T. HARTLY CRAWFORD,A FED ERAL ROYAL ARCH, MA SON, FOR CONGRESS. They gave him all their votes, and elected him. Oz - At the late Election, this same-party nominated and elected to the Senate 'Hari; RY Suysna, AN ADHERING, STREN UOUS MASON. Oz And now, still further to brave pub lic opinion, and show their utter disregard of their own professions, they have nominated a HIGH MASON for the most important office in your gift FELLOW-CITIZENS !-Will you long er be deceived by hollow pretensions, which are contradicted by their whole line of con duct? Will you still support the Masonic cause under another name? Do, not suffer yourselves to be misled. You are sought to be: made the tools of the Lodge—of a , bloody Institution more horrible than the oinviiible Tribunal of Germany I" Opponents of Secret Socteties: The time has arrived to test your prim', gbp.

THE TARIFF CONVENTION. The Tariff Convention which assembled in New York on Wednesday the 26th ult. was organized by the election of WILLIAM WILKINS, of Pennsylvania, to..be Presi dent; JOSEPM KENT,. of Maryland, .I.tmus TALLMAGE, of New York, GEORGE BLAKE, of - tilassachtisettsi - and - Lzwts Coma r, of New Jersey, to be Vice Presidents; and Hezckialt Niles, of Maryland, Robert Til lotson, of New York, ChAtrles Paine, of Vermont, and Joshua, W. Pierce, of New Hampshire to be Secretaries. About 430 members were present. A number of corn. mittees were appointed to report on various subjects assigned to them; among these were a committee to prepare an address to the people of the United States, a committee upon evasions of the Revenue, a committee to prepare a Memorial to Congress, a com mittee to report on the effects o the existing Tariff, a committee on the production and Irtanufacture , :of ironot—committee on the production and manufacture of wool, and a committee on the culture of silk, hemp and other agricultural materials used in the manufactories of the country. These com mittees, with others, presented reports to the convention at the subsequent sittings-during the week, which were discussed and dispo sed of, and on Monday afternoon,- after hay% ing empowered the Central Committee to call a meeting of the friends of the American System next year, if they deemed it expe dient, the Convention adjourned sine die. We understand measures have been ta ken to establish an Anti-Masonic paper in the City of Washington, to be issued twice a week. • Stich a paper, conducted with intelligence, firmness, and discretion, upon the broad and truly liberal principles of genuine Anti- Masonry, woutdi be highly useful at - the seat of the Government of the Uninn. Such a paper we should hail a". sko. important sup port of Wirt and the laves. We expect to bo able to lay before our readers the prospectus of such a paper in a few days.—New York Whig. Our rallying cry is " WIRT AND THE laws." The National Intelligencer pro poses "CLAY AND THE CONSTITIITION; " and the Philadelphia Inquirer, "JAcasori AND THE UNION. We would simply ask of what practical value is the Constitution, or the l Union, un less the Laws made under them, can be equally, uniformly, and every where, exe cuted, and justice upheld on her throne.—lb: The Election is 'over and the friends of Equal Rights have cause to rejoice. In spite of bitter opposition of the Lodge, and the dishonorable efforts of the pretended friends, we have, by, an increased and over whelming majority, carried our ticket. The Masonic party in nearly all the die-. tricts except the City polled as many votes as last year. The Lodge has given very nearly as large a vote this year as they can expect for next fall. Our vote for WIRT, ELLMAKER arid RITNER, next election, will not be less thim 8500, which will give give us a majority of at least 3000. Such is the prospect of the good cause.—Lan. Her.
