JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
StroudsbnrS, Pa. Wov. 27, 1810.
Terms, $2,00 in advance: $2.25. naif rearly ; and $2,50 if not
jiaul bcfoic the end of the year.
We observe that the question " who shall be
our next Governor" is beginning to be cxten
Mwly agitated in the political papers of both
parties. From present appearances we judge,
that David R. Porter in spite of the denuncia
tions cast upon him by the Radical portion of
the Van Bunm party, for bis conservative course
relative to the Banking question, will again be
nominated for re-election, and the disaffected
be compelled to give in their adhesion, through
fear of another signal defeat.
By the Whigs, now constituting a majority
of the people, several able and prominent men
have been named, for the most part resident
of the West, to which portion of the Keystone
Stale we are mainly indebted for our late glo
rious triumph among them are Harmar Den
ny of Allegheny and Th: M. T. McKehnan of
Washington Counties. In the neighbouring
counties of Berks and Northampton, our con
temporaries propose with zeal the nomination
of Judge Banks of Reading and formerly of
Mercer county, which district he very ably re
presented in Congress for several terms. Thc
recent elei lions prove beyond a doubt our abil
ity to elect a Chief Magistrate of the Common
wealth, provided we are thoroughly united arrd
we therefore with confidence anticipate a suc
cessful isssiie, on the part of the Whigs at the
next Governor's election.
The Governor has issued his proclamation
declaring, that the electoral ticket headed Jo
seph Rimer and John Andrew Shulze, has re
ceived a majority of votes throughout the State,
the official returns are in- hnother column.
Our exchange papers from all quarters are
filled with glowing descriptions of festivals and
celebrations in honor of the election of the Re
form candidates.
From the Northampton Whig, we take a
ppinted account of the late Jubilee at Easlon.
A Western merchant advertises "Ladies 0
K. Stock-ings," and "Gentlemen's Democratic
Republican Suspenders" alsorn small quanti
ty of "Prime Huge Paw Bed-cord," cheap for
cash!
Wisdom. Jefferson has said, than an "abso
lute acquiescence in the decision of the majori
ty, is the vita! principle of republics from which
there is no appeal but to force, the vital princi
ple and immediate parent of despotisms."
More liliytncs.
TheN. Y. Signal say:'
We had hoped that the Harrison bards would
cease rhyming now that "Tippecanoe and Ty
ler too" liHve been elected. But their Ivric
frenzv does not seem to have abated. The fol
lowing is their latest effusion:
"Martin Van Buren must inarch on the after
noon of the 4th of March 1841, back to Kiuder
iiook singing as he goes
They called me a "Magician!"
When friends and fortune smiled,
But now 'tis "little Matty"
Since I'm misfortune's child!"'
O: K.
The N. 0. Picayune says : " The ladies,
God bless them, have decided that 0. K. means
Only Kissing, nothing else in the word."

AT THEIR HOMES,
Worcester count v, Mass., where honest John
Davis resides,, has given 4500 majority FOR
I1IM. Jancajstcr comity, Pa. where James
Buchanan, the ten cent gentleman resides, has
given 42c0 AGAINST ULL
"Decided Whigs of long-stak-dixg." In
copying the statement of the New York Com
mercial, that a number of custom house officers
in that city suddenly find themselves "decided
Whigs of long standing," the Philadelphia U.
S. Gazette says: Wo have heard of no mira
cle of that kind in this citv: but we have learn
ed that a good many persons since the election
recollect that they have always been warm and
active Harrisor. men, though others do not ro-
inemlier a much of them. A beautiful thing
js that sun flower it always turns towards the
Source of heat and light.
The Albany Argus speaking of the
result of the great contest,, character
ises it as "the general defeat of the
American Democracy " Pray what
is the Democracy? Have the people
been defeating, themselves?. Or, in
this happy country, is it the office-luti-ders
only, who compose the Democ
racy? Give us a definition, sweet
sirs! jV. Y. Spectator.

THE JUBILEE.
" Ho ! settlers of the old Northwest ! Kentucky's sons of fire.
Ho! Bay State men: Ho land of Pcnn! Ho sons of 'the Empire'!
Why muster ye I What name is on your tongue I
The Warrior's name, the Statesniaus fame, the veteran Harri
son." Never have our people spent a more joyous,
happy day than they did at the Jubilee on Sa
turday. One confirmed delighted smile seemed
lo play on the countenances of every democrat
ic Whig from the time Amos Baby Waker'
caused him to leep from his pillow till the day
was spent and gone. On Friday evening pre
vious, according to the proposed arrangements,
bright bonfires fit up every hill around, and the
cannon kept a constant roar. The large four
story Iloiel of Mrs. White was splendidly il
luminated. In the middle was a line transpa
rency of the General on his favorite White
charger, encouraging on his men to battle. The
Cabin was also lighted up with transparencies.
A fine procession of several hundred called
Oid Tips Committee' paraded by torch-light
under the direction of that active and efiicient
Chief Maishal, Joseph Bamet. The whole
evening was spent in social merriment and
sport. J he cannon was tired without intHr
intssion, (except to load) during the whole night
and next day. Early in the morning the peo
ple began to flock in from the country. Near
ly the whole of the Log. Cabin lot had been
covered ami six rows of tables 100 feet long
prepared. To this spot the good things pro
vided by the committee, or given by the patri
otic Whig Ladies of our Borough and neigh
borhood, than whom no Iovlier live, were seen
going, turkies and chickens, with ribbands and
appropriate mottoes, luscious pies of every
kind, size and shape, some decorated with Log
Cabins, some with cider barrel's, others figured
off with Tip and Ty, O K and such pithy sen
tences. The table was set at about 1 1 o'clock,
and it was admitted that a more bountiful, well
set table could not well be. There were no
ardent spirits- on the ground but in its room
plenty of good cider, that all preferred.
The vast multitude were formed itv order Vy
Chief .Marshall Barnet a little after 11 r'Jock
and preceded by the Easton Band, marched
through our principal streets for about an hour,
when they returned to the Cabin and as many
as could took seats at the tables. One thous
and and sir plates were set, and when we say
that not more than half could get seats, we can
give a better idea' of the numbers present than
m any other" way. The sight of this Yast de
lighted dinner party all with the best humor
possible, making vigorous onset upon the good
viands spread before them, was a pleasing sight
such ol the kind, as we neer before witnessed.
After thy had satisfied themselves, a fresh
supply of provisions appeared arid their places
were rilled by others until all had partaken.
Two rows of tables were also set for the ladies
present, from the country, who- also joined in
the feast:
After the clorh was removed the meeting was
organized by the appointment of
Hon. SAMUEL YOKE, President.
And a numbet of Vice Presidents-.
After which toast were given interspersed
with singing and recitation. The parly broke
tip early in the afternoon and returned peacea
bly and quietly to their homes delighted with
tile-great public festival in which they had par
ticipated; returned loo, in full confidence of the
restoration-of our beloved Republic to i s wont
ed state of prosperity,, freedom ano happiness
under tha gallant, well trained Leader, whem a
free people had called to preside over them,
and prostrate tho corrupt, extravagant dema
gogues who had betrayed the trusts- committed
to them and become the tyrants rather than the
servant of the people.
Ths Committee or arrangements deserve
high thanks for the manner in which they dis
charged their duties.
Of the Ladies who so kindly and bountifully
assisted and aided, by their advice, donations
and services, what shall we say. We scarce
kuo-w words that will c,onvey the thunkful feel
rngs of the Democratic Whigs. To the mar
ried, w wish happy homes, and to the unmar
ried kind and affectionate husbands of the right
stamp. God grant you Ladies, all the good
we printers dare wish.
In thenight our opponents had a procesion.
They mounted a Durhamboat upon wheels,
lighted it up well with tar barrels and manned
it with a sturdy looking crew. They then with
a large force in procession lighted by torches,
drew it along, bound as they said for Salt Riv
er. We wish them a pleasant journey and
good anchorage. It is a quiet region having
many comforts as we know.
Mr. Benton.
A SCENE IN AN ARTIST'S STUDIO.
Of all the humbugs in this humbug-p-inp;
age Thomas H. Benton is unj
questionably the most pompous and
vain. Those who have been in the
habit of attending the sittings of the
Senate will remember numberless
instances of his conceit and egotism.
But the following un exaggerated de
scription, by an eye-witness, of a
scene which occurred some time ap;o,
in an artist's studio in this city, gives
a peculiarly vivid and faithful view of
the height breadth, and depth of the
Missouri Humb upper's soul! It is
from the Washington Correspondence
of the Baltimore Patriot. Mr. Benton
had his portrait taken by the artist,
who, at the time in question was bus
ily engaged in finishing a likeness of
Mr. Van Buren:
Enter Mr. Benton. '""Good morn
ing, sir! good morning, sir." (The
Senator from Missouri, like Justice
Shallow, is fond of iteration.) "Have
you my portrait? Have you my por
trait?' The polite foreigner, all smiles and
graces, dropped his pencil, and has
tened to present to the great Colonel
the image of himself. The Colonel
gazed upon it with the highest satis
faction. Hazlitt it is, who savs there
is a natural desire in the mind of man
to have one's likeness multiplied. The
Colonel evidently felt it. "Admira
ble! excellent!" he exclaimed. After
& pause h added, "You must have it
lithographed! And my friends have
suggested a motto, which I wish you
to have placed below the picture in
the lithograph copies. It is shorty sir
a single sentence, sir. Here it is:"
And he forthwith produced a copy of
the Globe. "It is from the great ex
punging speech mi great expunging
speech--you have heard of it sir? a
speech, sir, which will be read every
where, not only in this country, but
in Europe yes, sir in Europe, sir!
Here is the sentence, sir a single
sentence." He read, with the air of
BombastesFurioso, the magical words
"Solitary and alone, and amid
the taunts and sneers of my op
ponents, i have set this ball in
MOTION."
"There, sir," he continued, "a few
words only but place them at the
bottom of your picture, and you
sell thousands and tens of thousands
in the western country!"
The artist was dissolved in grati
tude he poured out his thanks in the
cordial and glowing expressions of his
country. They swelled the vanity of
the great projector of the expunging
farce and nothing would do but he
must split the ears of the polite for
eigner with paragraph after paragraph
of his prosy and pointless twaddle.
Certes, he did' read more than a col
umn and a half of the Globe, pointing
out the beauties that lay couched in
the language or ideas, and comment
ing as he went along thus: "fine idea
that, sir!" "an admirable image that,
sir!" And after a paragragh or two
of inimitable absurdity, ne would cry,
"ah, sir, there are some noble plunges!"
(not fliqTits, but plunges! Good that,
is it not, and most appropriate? Let
us hereafter dignify the efforts of our
young orators by calling them true
Bentonian plunges.) "Ah, sir. there
arc some noble plunges, and the whole
speed is in the same style. Many of
my speeches are argumentative and
demonstrative, but this is a sort ol
winding, up more embellishment
here it is a peroration it is all pe
roration, sir!"
The enthusiastic artist's eves kin
died as he spoke. As the Colonel
poured out his magniloquence, he
would exclaim, "ah! very fine! grand!"'
&c &,c. Jle evidently considered
his fortune made. - It was a lucky
stroke of the pencil that made the
likeness of a man who "solitary and
alone, has set a ball in motion!"
whose "great expunging speech will
be read every where in Europe and
America" whose mottoed image
will be sold by tens of thousands in
the western country and whose
Senatorial efforts are all plunges and
peroration
School Rooms. The. Charleston Courier
has the following extracts fiom a letter of Dr.
Samuel B. Wood warn, Superintendent of the
S'tiHe Lunatic Hospital, at Worcester, Mass.,
to the Secretary of the Hoard of Education, of
said State, in reply to some queries respecting
the construction of School Rooms :
" First, as to the ill effects of high and nar
row benches, and seats without backs.
High-and narrow seats are not only extreme
ly uncomfortable for the young scholar, tend
ing constantly to make him restless and noisy,
disturbing his temper and preventing his atten
tion to the books, but they also have a direct
tendency tcr produce deformity of the limbs.
If the scat is too high the feet cannot reach the
floor; the consequence is, that the limbs are
suspended on the centre of the thigh. Now,
as the limbs of children are pliable or flexible,
thry arc easily made to grow out of shape,
and become crooked bv such an awkward and
unnatural position.
Sests without backs have an equally unfa
vorable influence upon Ihe spinal column. If
no ret is afforded the backs of children while
seated, they necessarily assume a bent and
crooked position; such a position often assumed,
or long continued, tends to that deformity,
which has become extremely common with
children of modern limes, and leads to diseases
of the spine in innumerable instances.
