FOR GOVERNOR. t
j oni bank's,
OF BERKS COUNTY.
Appointments by tlie Postmastci;
General.
Samuel Dimmick, to be Post Master at Milford,
Pike county; John Weaver, to be Post Master at
the Wind Gap, Northampton county; Joseph Kel
ler, to he Post Master at Martin's Creek, North
ampton county; William H. Wilson, to be Post
Master at Beaver Meadows, Northampton county,
and George Barron, to be Post Master at Nocka
mixon, Bucks county. These appointments are
all judiciously -made.
We publish in another part of our paper of
to-day the u Address of the Tippecanoe Club
No. 1, of arrisburg." This Club was formed
during the late Presidential contest, and was
composed exclusively of those persons who
supported David R. Porter in 1838. In this
address they advert to an address from the Iron
Grey Club, which has been going the rounds of
'ho loco foco papers, staling that the Iron Grey
Glub was "built upon the ashes of the Tippe
canoe Club." It appears that the Tips No. 1
were forty-two in number, at the Presidential
Election, all of whom voted for David R. Por
ter in 1S38, and for Harrison in 1840. They
are now, fifty-two strong, and are "all pledged,
by principle and reason, to vote for John Banks."
They have forty of the old members and twelvs
new ones, and they declare that "the use of the
names of the members of this Club to the Iron
Grey Address was a violation of all the proprie
ties of life:1 That "their signatures were un
sanctioned and their use a base forgery." So
much for loco foco veracity and Porter's in
creasing popularity.
Communicated.
Who will be Governor?
Suppose David R. Porter should be re-elected
who will be the Governor of this section of
the State? Most, if not all our readers will an
swer James M. Porter. The contest therefore,
as respects this section, is between James M.
Porter and John Banks. When David R. Por
ter was first nominated, he pledged himself to
the delegates from this Congressional District,
that his brother should have no influence with
him, and should have nothing to do with his
administration. We appeal to Judge Keller
who was one of the delegates, if this is not the
fact. Yet so soon as he was elected, James
M. Porter and his immediate friends, were the
only persons who could obtain his ear, except
where policy imperiously demanded a different
course, as in the anoointment of Mr. Keller.
, x L
Should David R. be re-elected, questions of pol
icy and expediency will be disregarded, and
the iron heel of James M. will be placed upon
every one who will not bow at his command.
Are we not right in saying that James M. Por
ter has an undue influence with his brother?
Was he not appointed Judge? Did he not re
ceive upon his brother's warrant alone, a fee of
1000 dollars of the people's money, in the face
of that clause in the Constitution which says,
"No money shall be drawn fro,m the Treasury
except in pursuance of appropriations made by
Law." Did he not get a dam to build at the
mouth of tho Lehigh rirer, for which he got
30,000 dollars, when the old dam cost but
$16,000? Did he not get the support of the ad
ministration forces last fall for Congress! These
ar facts which cannot be disputed. No won
der, therefore, that we see him riding up in this
county, making speeches, talking about democ
racy, and his democracy, and the democracy of
his brother David. But the modesty of James
M. (if he ever had any) seems to have deserted
him since the election of his brother. Many
people in this district vrt fear, will say that it
is all ri"ht because it is done in the name and
under the cloak of democracy. Ihere are
others, however, who will think and ad like J
frpmn. althouvh thev maV sa' much.jlh
Francis R. Shunk, wV undersi.J was once
asked at a governor's eUction how be was ago
ing to vote, and he very significantl y replied
by ballot sir." So it will be this fail. Ullle
will be said, but the ballots when counted" will
Icil the tale in favor of honest John Banks.
James M. Porter made a speech at our last
Court, and talked much about his democracy,
yjd the democracy of his brother David. But
when did he get to be a democrat No admin
istration calling itself democratic, would ever
touch him with a ten foot pole. He ran twice
for Congross in this district against the demo-
cratic Jacksott. candidate, and never saw the

sily engaged during his first term of oflice, en
deavoring to fortify his political station, to re
tain it for a second term, and we view tho
strange spectacle in a republican form of gov
ernment, of the will of tho people being
con -
trolled and thwarted by tho very servant (,f
their creation. So dangerous are tlmse ten
dencies when applied to the weakness of hu
manity, the love of power, lust of office. ainL
thirst for wealth, that the nation has with mm
common impulse, turned its attention to th
means of their removal. Thin can only be f
f.cted, by tho general introduction, both im.
State and national politics, of the ON K TERM
PRINCIPLE. This will prove the great cor
rective to all abuses, will absolve all officers
from the despotism of party, enable them to act.
independently for the good of the State, and
look beyond the petty cabala of selfish aspi
rants. To show our devotion to this principle
so republican in its tendencies, o entirely
in consonance with the democratic tenet, that
office should rotate to be held pure; we should
on its grounds alono oppose tho re-election of
the present Executive even had he proved him
self as faithful to the interests of the State, as
he has been lamentably remiss.
The limits of this Address will not permit us
to institute a review of the culpability of Gov.
Porter's course in relation tn the indiscriminate
pardoning of convicts after conviction, or tho
infringement upon the rights of citizens, of
wresting those, indicted by a Grand Jury, from
the hands of the law before trial. These facts
are known throughout the State, and the late
aborative attempt of the Porter Central Com
mittee, to explain away their enormity by quot
ing cases which bear no analogy to Gov. Por
ter's acts, must convince every honest inquirer
after truth that the system is vitally dangerous
to our political and social welfare and repug
nant to the feelings of the patriot and christian.
While we admit the necessity for the use of
