Pursuant to a call of the Committee of ar
augemcnts, a large and respectable meeting of
he citizens of Pike county, friendly to the elec
tion of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON to
the Presidency of the United States, convened

. committee of nine was appointed to draft res
loutions expressive of the sense of the meeting.
The following were appointed said committee
John Finch, A. Kenner, Limeou Lord, 1
W. De Witt, D. W. Dingman, Jr., Benjamin
Stickney, Wm. C. Crawford, Ephraim Kimble,
Soloman Newman
The Committee having retired, the meeting
was addressed by the Hon. William Brodhead,
David Sayres, Esq. D. C. King, and Dr. John
Conklinsr.
The Committee having returned reported the
following preamble and resolutions which were
unanimously adopted
Whereas, the people under a " Republican
Government like ours have an unalienable right,
peaceably to assemble, and to approve, or disap
approve of the conduct of their rights, and to
take measures to have their grievances re
dressed.
And whereas, believing that Martin Van Bu
ren has relinquished every principle for which
the Democracy have contended, for the last
forty years, and finding that his prescriptive
system is spreading corruption abroad, among
the incumbents of office within his gift.
And believing that no form of government
can exist where personal subserviency, instead
of qualifications and integrity are the passports
executive favour.
Therefore, Resolved, that we cannot support
Martin" Van Buren for the next Presidency, be
cause we believe his administration to be at
war with the true principles of Democracy,
and that his measures are destructive to the
National piosperity, moral integrity, and the
-simplicity of a Republic.
Resolved, That we cannot support Martin
Van Buren because by his scheme for uniting
the purse and sword in his own hands, (as in
the twenty-two foreign couniries, quoted in his
last Message, which the Sub-Treasury is in I
'operation) the labouring class, as in those coun
tries, would be brought t poverty without any
Jiope of bettering their condition. The rich
would be growing richer, upon the labour of
the poor, by which means monarchy and aris
tocracy would be supported.
itesolved, That we do not believe in the
doctrine of reducing the price of labour, and
the value of produce, to the standard of any
country but our own. And though it be right
I for the rich honestly to become richer, we will
never consent thereby that the poor shall be
'.come poorer.
Resolved, That the unscrupulous and inde
fatigable means used by the present incumbent
to continue his despotic sway over the land,
calls uoudly ior the introduction of the one term
tnnciple.
Resofred, That we will use all fair and hon
orable means to compel Martin Van Buren, in
Ifcpite of himself, to carry out the one term prin-
v!o Kl 11 a 1 1
r'i uur uuruiai support lu me vai-
laut old Seldier, whose life of unsullied purity
and patriotism as well in the field as in the
'councils of the nation, are a guarantee that our
interests will be safe in his custody for the next
four years.
Resolved, That we cannot support Martin
"Van Buren, because he was opposed to the last
war, and opposed James Madison for the Pres
idency and supported Dewitt Clinton, the peace
I party candidate.
Resolved, That we cannot support Martin
jV'an Buren, because we believe he still retains
the principles he advocated in the convention
to amend the constitution of the State of New
York, viz: "That we were, he said, hazarding
every thing by permitting persons to vote at
elections who were not property holders; or in
other words, denying the poor man the right of
suiirage, thereby depriving many worthy cm-
.zens ol the exercise of one of the most sacred
rights of freemen. This is not denied, it never
will be, it never can be.
Resovcd, That we canno support Martin
Van Buren, because the administration when it
, came into his hands was free and clear of debt,
and now an enormous debt exists, created by
wniui waste, extravagance, and peculation. The
' searching question of the people is, and of right
ougnt io oe " where is our money Officers
render an account of your stewardship.
Resolved, That we are called on by every
i nrincinln
establishing a standing army of 200,000 men,
which Martin Van Buren said he could not re
commend in too strong term to the considera
tion of Congress.
( Resolved,, That we have the most implicit
L confidence in the ability and integrity of our
candidates, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON
of Ohio, for Presidcttt, and JOHN TYLER of
Virginia, for Vice President : and that we be
lieve if eleeied, they will devote theii energies
solely to promote the welfare and happiness ofj
the people, and that they will bring to n sue
cessful close the Florida war without the aid
of Bloodhounds.

SGlves to use HI honorable means .to promote
the election oi iha sLerlin? nnd trie,! Datriot i
and statesman, Wm. Henry Harrison, believ
ing him to be both honest and capable.
Resolved, That the slanders against the
character of Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, published
in Martin Van Burens official organ, the Globe
and other kindred prints, give the lie to Amer
ican History, and are libels on the good sense
and patriotism of every American President,
until the reign of Andrew Jackson.
Resolved, That the elections now going on
in the west, are calculated to invigorate and
cheer the heart of every sincere friend of our
country, and its glorious institutions, and that
they are strong indications that the present in
cumbent of the white house at Washington,
will have full and perfect permission to retire
to private life after the 4th of March next.
On motion, Resolved, That the President
appoint a central county.Corresponding Com
mittee, and that said Committee shall have pow
er to call meetings and to appoint Correspond
ing Committees in the several tsps. in the county.

On motion, Resolved, That the proceedings
of the meeting bo signed by the Officers, and

FOR THE JEFFERSOKUN REPUBLICAN..
Mr. Editor : You will permit me to occpv
a small space in your columns with obituary
notices of some of the lovely children, who
have been, suddenly snatched away from fond
parents, by a dreadful disease. The last week
will long be remembered in this Village, as one
replete with sickness, deaths, funerals and
mourning.
On Sunday the 23d ult. about 8 o'clock, Har
nett Augusta, a daughter of Rich. Eldred, Esq.
expired. The disease which terminated thus
atally after a brief course of three days, was
scarlet fever. She was a sweet little girl, aged
7 years and 2 months, who possessed a very
amiable disposition, and showed a strong at
tachment to truth in all her conversation, and
whose heart seemed to delight in her Sabbath
school, and iq religious exercises. Her pa
rents, and sister, and brothers were confounded
at the suddenness of the blow, and with many
bitter tears siieu by them, and sympathizing
nenus, sne was loiioweu to ihe guave.
On the following Tuesday, Hortenes, young
est child of Harvey Roys, Esq., died of the
same disease after a sickness of ten days. She
had been a very healthy and sprightly little
creature, yet her parents were in some .measure
prepared for the severe bereavement, bv seeing
her almost "in articuto mortis" during the last
three days she lingered with them.
Early on Thursday morning, Mary, a daugh
ter of Samuel Dimmick, aged 3 years and
months, was by death released from 8 days of
pauitul sickness, She also died of scarlet fe
ver. An active engaging little girl and quite a
lavonte with all who knew her.
A few hours latter in the same day, George
F. Earl, an infant of 7 months, died probably
of the prevailing epidemick. We buried both
these children on Friday, yet ere they were
deposited in the grave, another had been called
away by death.
tor about 7 A. M. of Friday the 28th, Mary
E. A. Pinchot expired. She received a severe
shock of palsey on the previous Monday, which
she survived but four days. She was a native
of Jb ranee, who migrated to this country in
1818. since which time she has been well
known in this country, and has been constantly
engageu in .mercantile busiuess. She died in
her 65 year.
The fatal events of the week were termina
ted late on Saturday evening, when Victoria-
daughter of A. W. Haggerty, yielded up her
precious me, another victim ot scarlet fever.
bhe was a very pleasant little girl who after
10 days ol suffering was snatched away from
doting parents in her third year. Thus in one
week, six persons have been taken from the
midst of us. O that God in his mercey might
comfort the mourners, end might say to the de
stroying angel " it is enough."
Milford, Pa.
Sliin-PIastcr Government.
While the Loco-focos are tickling
the ears of the groundlings with out
cries about gold and silver currency
while they sneer at the Whigs rela
tive to the shin-plasters; yet the very
govern uiem wnicn is grinding the lite
blood of trade from the people and ab
sorbing it iato the public vaults, sus
tains itself by a miserable issue of
sum-plasters two penny drafts of

paper, aad circulated as currency
These things are abroad, and the peo
ple now begin to understand the char
acter ol a government which can thus

Cleanse and Purify the JBody.
AW AI?IERICAW SUMMER,
The Weather and its effects. 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 siekness under these circumstances.
Therefore to prevent anv danger, we ought care
fully to guard against a'COSTlVE STATE OF
OUR BOWELS. Once or twice thev must be
evacuated in 24 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 that even d daily use
of these Pills will weaken or debilitate They do
not. On the contrarv. the functions of tl-m stfimnr-h
are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen
ed; tne appetite and digestion improved. A-nd
common sense tells us we are better able to with
stand continued heat, or sudden changes than we
should be, were we oppressed by a load of impure
humors in me oiood, always tne occasion of every
variety of disorder. Often a sudden dysentery
occurs. Should there be a cause for this, and it
aoes 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 drow.
siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion
vegetable purmnij must be immediately and ener
getically practised, or these humors form a lining
ui ucju&imz in iuu uiooa vessels wnicn may pro-
uuce epiiepsv, anon exv: consumption. &c.
It must be, however, borne in mind that evnn in
dysentery and disorders of the bowels, that BRAN
LATH'S PILLS are indispensable. Thev re
move those peceant humors which Droduce theso
affections, before they have time to produce gan-
grene or any other lata! effect.
oometimes the blood is so loaded with humors
that it becomes in a fermentation, beincr that statH
of the body called fevor. which is nothinnr morn
than an effort of nature to throw' off all offendinff
matins. i.ms is, m met, a can upon lteason, to
assist tne natural functions with purging medicine,
which, if properly answered, will soon evanimto
tnese loul humors, and restore the body to a state
of perfect health.

it IS at all timps nnsirr to nrnvent thnn tn r.nrp
disease, because bv talcinrr a preventive nonso vn
nut ueuimaic tne natural luncuons oi the Dody,
uut ramer strengthen and assist them. The pe
culiar action of j
Btandrctlis Vegetable Universal Pills,
is to cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove
every cause of pain or weakness, and
PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION
m such a state of health and vigor so that casual
changes cannot effect it.

OF THE
JcHersonian Republican.
A lew Weekly Paper, to be published at Strouds-
inirg, Monroe bounty, ra.,. and Milford,
Pike CountypPa., simultaneously.
The whole art of Government consists in the ar
of being honest. Jefferson.
THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
in principle, will be all its title purports, the firm
and unwavering advocate of the principles and
doctrines ol the democratic party, delineated by
the illustrious Jefferson : the right of the peo
ple io tninK, to speak, and to act, independent
ly, on all subjects, holding themselves respon
sible to no power for the free exercise of this
right, but their God, their Country, and her
Liaws, wnich they themselves have created.
A free and untrammeled Press, conducted in a
spirit worthy of our institutions, is a public bles
sing, a safeguard to the Constitution under which
we live, and it should be cherished and support
ed by every true republican. Such, then, it is
designed to make the paper now estab
lished, and as such, the publisher calls up
the enlightened" citizens of Monroe and Pik to
aid him in this laudable enterprise. The time
has arrived when the Press should take a bold
and faarless stand against the evidently increas
ing moral and political degeneracy of the day,
and endeavor, by a fair, candid, and honorable
course, to remove those barriers whioh section
al prejudices, party spirit, and party animosity
have reared to mar the social relations of men
without accomplishing any paramount good.
THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
will not seek to lead or follow any faction, or to
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 to each that support which its merits mav
demand, never hesitatjng, 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 of democ
racy are disregarded by the present Chief Ma
gistrate of the Nation, Martin- Van Burex,
the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will
decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election
to the high and responsible station which he
now holds.
It will firmly oppose the " Independent Trea
sury" Scheme, and all other schemes having
for their object tbe 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 official pa
tronage, would render him more powerful than
the Executive of the British Nation, and in
short make our Government, de facto an Elec
tive Monarchy.
It "will ever maintain that the welfare of our
Country and the preservation of her RepubHcan
Institutions should be the first and only senti
ments of our hearts in the choice of our public
servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability,
are the only true tests of merit ; that all men
are created equal, and, therefore, should alike
enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the
Constitution without being subject to proscrip
tion, or coerced by the influence of party.
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 thet
Press, because they differ from the. majority.
The JEFF EKSONIAN REPUBLICAN
will ever take a lively interest in the affairs of
Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and
Congressional Districts with which they are
connected.
The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic,
and the Laborer, will each find a friend in tbe
columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUB
LICAN. Due care will be taken to furnish its
reauers wim me laiesi roreign ana jjomestic
' 1 ".1. .1 1 . . Tl 1 T".
News, and such Miscellaneous reading as will
bo both interesting and instructive. In short if
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
b amily Newspaper.
The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
will be printed on a super-royal sheet of good
quality, and with good type.
Terms S2 m advance ; $2,25 at the end of
six months, and $2,50 if not paid before the ex
