Pursuant to a cull of the Standing Committee, a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Northampton county convened at the Court House in Easlon, on Tuesday Augnst 18th, 1840, fcrthe purpose of making arrangements preparatory to the ensuing October and Novem ber elections. 1 he meeting was organized by appointing the following officers: Ho.v. SAMUEL YORE, President. James Clexdenxix, Joseph B. Jones, ATice Presidents. Jacob Udexwelder, John King, Esq. ( Joseph Weaver, Esq. J James A. Rice, ) 0 . . Reuben Nolf, Secretaries. The meeting being thus organized, the fol lowing committee was appointed to draft resolu tions expressive of the sense of the meeting: H. D. Maxwell, P. S. Michler, Anthony Transue, Jacob Dech, William Engle, Jacob Odcnwelder,Geo. Barnet, George Knecht,Con rad RoTer, Esq. Lawrence Troxell. The Committee retired, and A. E. Brown was called upon to address the meeting, which he did in a clear and forcible manner. The committee having returned, presented the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. Whereas, the time is rapidly approaching when we will be called upon to exercise that rigni, which a reeman holds most dear, the right of suffrage, in again choosing a Chief Ma gistrate, to preside over the destinies of this Republic. And whereas it is incumbent upon us, to do so, with an eye single to the welfare, the honor, and the glory of our country. Therefore, Resolved, That we will not sup port for the Presidency, Martin Van Buren, be cause we consider the course he has pursued, since his Election, to be Anti-Republican, and opposed to the best interests of our country. Resolved. That we oppose his favorite meas ures "the Sub Treasury," because we consider it fraught with danger to our prosperity, and "the standing Army'' because it is a stab at our liberties, and "both" for the plain reason, that we believe them unfit for a free country, and only suited to monarchies of Europe, by the Kings of which, they were recommended to him. Resolved, That we oppose Martin Van Bu ren because he is a Politician from interest a lone, a Democrat only so Ions as he could ob tain office, but a Federalist, when his counUy called her sons to arms, and his coward heart would not let him rally in her defence, but fright ened him into the ranks of the Federalists of 1812, to the support of Clinton, and, to oppose James Madison. Resolved, That we will support for the high est office in the nation's gift the oft honored and war worn patriot of the West, Gen. W. H. Har bison, the greatest part of whose life has been devoted to the honor and profit of his country. Resolved, That we wish, and we ask no bel ter pledge of his future conduct, if elected, than we can obtain from his past life and actions, and -we would refer his puny slanderers to the testi mony of Col Johnson, who said the History of the? West, is the history of Gen. Harrison, he has for 40 years been identified with its inter- ests, its perils, and its hopes. Resolved, That the paltry attempts of design ing politicians, to cast upon Gen. Harrison, the stigma of Federalism, can have no effect upon us, when we consider the source from which it comes, that of an amalgamated mass of Loco Foco orators, who have been themselves warm and bitter Federalists and done like their mas ter, all they could to oppose the cause of De mocracy. Resolved, That we wish no better proof of his Democracy than the fact, that he was twice appointed to office by Thomas Jefferson, and three times by James Madison Resolved, That we are opposed to Martin Van Buren, because he in the convention of New York, to reform the constitution, voted for a Property qualification for voters, which would Jiave deprived the poor man of a right to vote, and he also voted to give to negroes the right to vote, provided they possessed the amount of property required, thus placing the negro above die poor white man. Resolved, That we will support no person for Congress unless he is opposed to Martin Van Buren and his intended new national Tax Resolved, That we will support no man for the State Senate, or Legislature unless he is opposed to the course of the party in power who are ruining our slate, by increasing our Debt, and imposing upon us a heavy and unjust Tax.- Resolved, That our sister countiesof Monroe, Pike and Wayne be requested to appoint con ferees to meet conferees to be appointed, by our delagates at the house of Samuel Straub in Bath, on the 22d day of September next, to nominate z. suitable person to represent this Congression al District, in the Congress of the United States. Resolved, That our Sister County of Lehigh he requested to appoint conferees to meet con ferees to be appointed by our delegates, at the same place as mentioned in the foregoing reso lution, to nominate a Senator to represent this Senatorial District in the Senate of Pennsylvana. Resolved, That the Delegates to be chosen, at the coming Delagate elections meet at the inn of Samuel Slraub in Bath, on Tuesday the 22d day of September next. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet ing be published in the Northampton Whig, Le high Patriot, Harrisonian of Lehigh, Wayne County Free. Pr,css, Jofiersoniaii Republican of MoQrD&axuI Pike Counties: amusing ahfecdote is related of tlielocofoco candidate for congress in thd second district. At a public meeti: the pepple, and in the course of his re marks denied with great vehemence the eastance of "hard limes" declar- mg it Wher had b to be a whig fabrication, &c. iupon, an honest citizen, who ben listening with great atten tion, ipse and addressing himself to the speaker, said, " Sir, since you de ny positively that the times are not hard, trust you will pay me the thousand dollars you have owed me so long." I have frequently demand ed it, but your constant plea has been "hard times, "hard times. The as sembly was convulsed with laughter, and General D. forgot for the moment all Iris dignity, and looked very par ticularly loolish. Pi. V. Bee.

One day we have 90 degrees of heat in the shade; the next 50. Thus, one day the perspiration is streaming from every pore ; the next day all are nearly closed. Even those who have a healthy disposition of body, are subject to sickness under these circumstances. Therefore to prevent any danger, we ought care fullv to guard against a COSTIVE STATE OF OUll BOWELS. Once or twice they must be evacuated in 524 hours. If this is not effected naturally, medicine must be resorted to BRAN DRETH'S PILLS must be taken: then there will be no danger- Do not think Uiat even a daily use of these Pills will weaken or debilitato 1 They do not. On the contrary, the functions of the stomach are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen ed; the appetite and digestion improved. And common sense tells us wc are better able to with stand continued heat, or sudden changes than we should be, were wc oppressed by a load of impure humors in the blood, always the occasion of every variety of disorder. Often a sudden dysentery occurs. Should there bo a cause for this, and it does not take place, then, the blood is made the receiver of those humors, which should have been discharged by the bowels. Undor these circum stances, which may be known by exceeding diiow siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion, vegetable purging must be immediately and ener getically practised, or these humors form a lining or deposite in the bld'od vessels which may pro duce epilepsy, apoplexy, consumption, &c. Ac It must be, however, borne in mind that even in dysentery and disorders of the bowels, that BRAN DETH'S PILLS aro indispensable. They re move those peccant humors which produce these affections, before they have time to produce gan grene or any other fatal effect. Sometimes the blood is so loaded with humors that it becomes in a fermentation, being that state of the body called fever, which is nothing more than an effort of nature to throw off all offending matters. This is, in fact, a call upon Reason, to assist the natural functions with purging medicine, which, if properly answered, will soon evacuate these foul humors, and restore the body to a state of perfect health. It is at all times easier to prevent than to cUre disease, because by taking a preventive couse wo do not debilitate the natural functions of the body, but rather strengthen and assist them. The pe culiar action of Brandretltis Vegetable Universal Pills, is to cleanse the blood from all impurhies, remove every cause of pain or weakness, and PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION in such a state of health and vigor so that .casual changes cannot effect it. DR. BRANDRETH'S Principal Office for the sale of his Pills, is 241, Bjoadway, oppo site the Park, New-York. Philadelphia Office is No. 8, North Eighth street.

Such," then, it is designed to make the paper now estab lished, tmd as such, the publisher calls up the enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pik to- .nid him in this laudable enterprise. The- tim has arrived when the Press should take a bold and faarless stand against the evidently-increas ing moral and political degeneracy ol the dav, and endeavor, by a lair, candid, and honorablo course, to remove those barriers whioh section al prejudices, parly spiri!, and party animosity have reared lo mar the social relations of Mien without accomplishing any paramount good. THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will not sock to lead or follow any faction, or lo advocate and support the schemes of any par ticular set of men. It will speak independent ly on all State and National questions, award ing lo each that support which its merits may demand, never hesitating, however, to condemn such measures, as in the opinion of the editor is justly warranted, holding as a first principle : " The greatest good to the greatest number." Believing that the great principles ol democ racy are disregarded by the present Chief Ma gistrate of the Nation, Martin Van Buren-, the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election to the high and responsible station which he now holds. It Avill firmly oppose the " Independent Trea sury" Scheme, and all other schemes having for their object the concentration in the hands of one man, and that man the President of the Nation, all power over the public moneys, a power, which, when combined with that vest ed in him by the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief of the American forces, Military and Naval, together with an enormous oflicial pa tronage, would render him more powerful than the Executive of the British Nation, and in short make our Government, dc facto an Elec tive Monarchy. It will ever maintain that the welfare of our Country and the preservation of her Republican Institutions should be the first and only scnli ments of our hearts in the choice of our public servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability, are the only true tests of merit ; that ail men are created equal, and, therefore, should alike enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the Constitution without being subject to pro3crip tion, or coerced by the influence of parly. The columns of the. JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever be open to the free discussion of all political questions, believing as we do, that there is no liberty where both sides may not be heard, and where one portion of freemen are denied the privilege of declar ing their sentiments through the medium of the Press, because they differ from the majority. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever take a lively interest in the affairs of Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and Congressional Districls with which they are connected. The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, and the Laborer, will each find a friend in tho columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUB JjICAN. Due care will be taken to furnish its "readers with the latest Foreign and Domestic News, and such Miscellaneous reading as will be both interesting and instructive. In short it is designed to make the paper worthy of an ex tensive patronage, both, from the strictly moral tone which it will ever possess, and the efforts of the editor to make it a good and useful Family Newspaper. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will be printed on a super-royal sheet of good qualily, and with good type.
