OF BERKS COUNT1.
5EATSI OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.'
We copy the following painful intelligence from;
tlio U. b. Gazette.
His Excellency WILLIAM HENRY HARRI
SON, the venerable President of the Nation
breathed his last yesterday morning between
twelve and one o'clock.
We have now neither time nor ability to give
vent to feelings which such a mournful event na
turally excites. It is the first loss which the na
tion has to morun of an actual President. Wash
ington. Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe
survived their public services and passed away
irom life in the midst of domestic retirement: J. y.
Adams, Jackson and Van Buren yet alive. The
venerable Harrison called late in life to the high
duties of the Presidency, occupied the station on
ly one month, from the fourth of March to the
iourth of April, and it is doubtful whether any
Chief Magistrate ever gave more attention in that
time to the duties of his station, than did the ven
erable deceased. He has fallen before the voice
of the people that saluted his entrance into the
Inch office had died away.
We believe we express the opinion of almost
every citizen of the United States, when we sayj
that General Harrison was a sound patriot, unsur
passed bv love of country and its republican insti-
lions: right in all his dealings, public and private
one who passed through almost every station of j
public life with clean hands and a pure heart.
hen such a man dies and leaves vacant thei
Executive chair of the country, a nation mourns,
The pang of individual grief at the loss of a tried:
friend must be forgotten for a time in the public
privation and those who weep must remember that;
the land mourns when such a man is called away
from the sphere of such usefulness.
We subjoin a cabinet circular.
City of Washington, April 4, 1841.
An all-wise Providence having suddenly remov
ed from this life, WILLIAM HENRY HARRI
SON, late President of the United States, we have
thought it our duty, in the recess of Congress, and
m the absence of the Vice President from the Seat!
of Government, to make this afflicting bereavement
known to the country, by this declaration, under.
our hands.
He died at the President's house in this city,
this fourtli day of April, Anno Domini, 1841, ati
thirty minutes before one o'clock in the morning.
The People of the United States, overwhelmed,
like ourselves, by an event so unexpected and so
melancholy, will derive consolation from knowing
that his death was calm and resigned, as his life;
las been patriotic, useful and distinguished; and
that the last utterance of his lips expressed a fer
vent desire for the perpetuity of the Constitution.
and the preservation of its true principles. In
death, as -in life, the happiness of his country was!
uppermost in his thoughts.

The Ladies Companion.
The Ladies Companion for April is an ex
cellent number. It is filled as usual with thej
best of literary matter, and the embellishments!
are beautiful.
We are not at all surprised that the Editor of
the Easion Sentinel exclaims against the parade
we made in our columns, on the strength of Jim
Porter's defeat as Town Councilman of Easton,1
by Peter Snyder, a Democratic Banks man. It
is enough to ruffle the temper of anv suDDorter
of David R. to have his Lieutenant beat at all,
much less afterwards to see the Press rejoicing
gver it. But so it is, and Mr. Senseman may
as well "grin and bear it" as Davy Crockett
usetfvto say, and make the best of it. As to his
sayjngN that Jim was not at home on Election
tiav aiM had refused to be a candidate, wh
en
.solicit, before leaving, we have only to reply
inat w( have it from better authority than the
Editoi of the Sentinel, that he did not refuse,
t i:t or the contrary, consented, and was elec-
sonefkred and voted for by his friends none
but tjhose who are opposed to him, voted against
hinl- Sentinel is further guilty of misrep
rrjscittaiiou, when it wishes to induce the belie
iJmt ihe Democratic Banks ticket received bu
1
10 otes. The fact is, that on both the Judgeb
and Assessors tickets where the party line was
iirawn we polled 276 votes, whilst Jim Porter
received but 250 votes, leaving him according
in this view 26 in the minority. Take it any
wav vou please Mr. Senseman, we have achiev
d a glorious victory, and as such we regard it.
The Reverend Dr. Junkin, has resigned the
Presidency of Lafayette College, and left Eas
ion for the purpose of taking charge of the Mi
ami University, at Oxford, Ohio.
Judge Sanies. v
Each succeeding mail bring us additional in
gtelligence, of the favour with which the nomi
nation of Judge Banks is received by all clas
Ises in every part of the State. It is cheering to
see with what unanimity all hands come to his
support and it presages a most glorious triumph.
The people have had enough of David R. Por
ter, and his brother Jim, and rejoice that so un
exceptionable a man as John Banks has been
presented in opposition to them, for their suf-
Sfrares. In our next we will publish the Judge's
Address to the William Penn Institute, at Read
ing, and follow it up with other of his able pro
ductions, so that if there are any who are not al
ready sufficiently well acquainted with him,
they may see who and what the man is whom
they are asked to trust and honor.
Bank Bill.
It is yet uncertain what will be the fate of the
Bill, passed by the Legislature for the relief ofl
the Banks. Some say that the Governor will
sijin it, and others that ho will veto it. The!
Loco papers at Harrisburg, and elsewhere, al
though lately so much opposed to it, are. now!
'quite neutral, ready to take any step which the!
action of the Governor may render necessary.!
Either to palliate the act if he signs it, or to de
nounce the Bill if he vetoes it. So pliant arel
their consciences, that they can attune them toj
any measure; to advocate what is right, f conven
ient; and to support what is wrong if necessary.
How are the Mighty Fallen.
A more humiliating spectacle than the recent
Ijourney of Mr. Yan Buren, from Washington to
New York, can scarcely be conceived. The
reception he met with, at every point of his pro
gress, told out in thunder tones the deep con
tempt in which the freemen of the country,
whose liberties he endeavoured to encompass,
and whose happiness and prosperity he blasted,
hold him. It was a lesson to all others who
may occupy high and responsible places, now
or hereafter, not to disabuse their trust, or en
deavour to subvert those Institutions they are
sworn to protect and foster. His fallen Excel
lency, was accompanied by Joel R. Poinsett,
the notable Secretary of War, upon whose
shoulders Mr. Yan Buren endeavoured to throw
the blame of originating the odious Standing
Army Bill, after he found that the united voices
of millions of freemen were condemning it
Their reception at Baltimore was most meager,
not so many people assembling at the Rail Road
Depot, as frequently meet there on the most or
dinary occasions. At Philadelphia, the recep
tion was a little more clamorous. But, oh! my
country, who was there to do him reverence?
Why some score or two of radicals, who call
themselves Barn-Burners, headed by that most
consistent Democrat Charles J. Ingersoll, who
has declared in black and white, that if he had
lived in the days of our glorious Revolution, he
would have been a TORY, and who now wel
comed him to the city of Penn, in a set speech
suited to the tastes of his auditory. At New
York, it was no better, but few coming out to
cheer the fallen Malty on his way to Kinderhook,
where he intends to take up his residence and
live in retirement. If Mr. Yan Buren is capa
ble of any feeling, how this silent, but stinging
treatment of his fellow-countrymen, must rankle
in his breast. When he thinks of the warm
enthusiaslicandheartfelttokensof esteem which
every where greeted Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Adams and Jackson, on their
way home, after having successively given up
the power entrusted to them, and contrasts it
with the cold and chilling repulses he every
where received: he must acknowledge that the
people have a power to punish commensurate
with the injuries they have received.

Correspondence of the Inquirer Courier.
EXTRACT TO THE EDITOR, DATED
Harrisburg, April 1, 1841.
Most of the day was occupied bv the Legis
lature in the transaction of business of a private
nature.
The Governor sent in a message to the Sen
ate, stating that he had approred and signed
the bill re-chart enng the Northampton Bank.
Ihe act incorporating the Black Creek Iron
and Coal Company, was passed through all its
readings and sent to the Governor.
The Senate had under consideration for some
lime, a hill nrovidimr fur n rmlnnnnn nf tht mi.
flitia expenses of this Commonwealth. After
I
sfsomo time spent in debate, the bill was post
poned until Monday.
In the House, a lengthy discussion was badj
on a resolution submitted by Mr. Brodhead, pro
viding for the suspension until the lstof Decem
ber next, of the law lately passed, relative to
tavern licences. It was adopted, and sent to
the Senate.
The balance of the day was taken up with
the reading of the evidence, and sundry long
speeches on a bill uivorcmg G. L. Millspaugh
and Harriet his wife. Ihe bill passed a linalj
reading by a vote of G2 to 12, after which the
House adjourned
From the Albany Daily Advertiser.
XiOcofocoism Uninasked.
The failure of several of the Free Banks of
the State calls forth from the Maysville Senti
tmei, one oi tne leauing juocoioco presses in
Western New York, the following notes of tri
umph and exultation:
Glorious News! "The cause of Equal
Rights progressing! The pillars of Aristocra
cy giving way!" Several of the Red dog Bank
m various parts ot this otate, have? recently
sunk to rise no more, and on Thursday last
nearly all the Red Dog concerns in Buffalo,
numbering about a dozen, stopped payment.
Capital ! Excellent ! ! Glorious ! ! ! Three
cheers for the downward progress of Bank Ar-!
istocracy!!!! "We hope that all the rest will
follow suit that the Safety Fund System will
go next--and that the time will speedily arrive
when not a single Bank Rag manulactory shall
be left standing to pollute the financial atmos
phere of the once free and still noble Empire
State."
That these are the genuine aspirations of
Locofocoism, no one who has watched the pro
gress ot that party can lor a moment doubt. In
its fierce hostility to the banking and credit Sys
tems it cannot pause to consider what wjjuld
be the consequences of their overthrow, but
blinded by its hate, and deaf to all but the voice
of passion, it rushes madly forward intent ypon
accomplishing the work of destruction. The
insane joy of the Maysville Sentinel at the in
telligence of the stoppage of a few of the jrrce
Banks, shows with what eager delight Lqcofo-
coism would hail the total prostration of those
institutions.
More votes for Porter.
The Uniontown Democrat says, that 19 per-i
sons wore pardoned from the western Peniten
tiary during the year 1840 by Gov. Porter; Met-
calPs Star and Democrat says that a fellow was!
sentenced upon Wednesday, to thirty days im-J
pnsonment, for an atrocious attack upon Mr.
Martin of Spring Garden, at the polls. On Sat
urday a full pardon arrived. Hadn't the Gov
ernor better open the doors of our penitentia
ries?
We also learn by a letter from Schuylkill
county, that a ruffian, who was convicted some!
year or so since of a most atrocious violation!
of a girl near Minersville, has likewise been!
sent out on community again by thislover wise!
and merciful Governor! What witi his par-8
dons before and after conviction, the Governorl
will find himself surrounded by a band of friends J
botn tried and untried! Daily Tel.
A Neutral Opinion.
The Locofoco Ledger says that mtch excite
ment prevailed in Kensington on thf rail road
subject, and a number of persons prepared to
evince their opposition to all railroa(s, by tear
ing up a large portion of the railsialong the
Frankford road, from Master street downwards.
A large bonfire was built in an adjoicing com
mons, with a view to attract the remainder of
the population of the District. Notting, serious
however occurred.
Nothing serious! the law is violaed, private
property destroyed, burned as a beacon to at
tract the remainder of the population, which
was riotous and disaffected, and ye nothing se
rious occurred! This is the opinio! of the Pub
lic Ledger, a paper which pretendi to be an ad
vocate of good order and the suprenacy of the
laws! ib. :

would only bo for two years. Pursuant to the
notice thus given, the General (says the Albany
