Pike County Meeting. The David R. Porter Democracy of Pike county met on Saturday evening the 21st inst., at the Court-House, pursuant to public and pri vate notice given, (the former for foreign, and the latter for home consumption,) consisting of the real simon pure damn, the Banks, we love the Banks, we hale the Banks, we borrow from the Banks, and can't live wilhout the Banks, David R. Porter democrais, to the number of some twenty-five or thirty including boys. The meeting was organized by appointing George Bowhanan, President, (aged three score and ten or upwards,) who rejoiced at the death of Gen. Harrison, and wished Tyler and the whole damned cabinet would die in twenty-four hours. Harvey Roys, Esq. Vice President, who de clared (and called witnesses) at the last Gov ernor's election lhat ihey should take noiice that "this day I turn," and voted the whole tick et opposed lo the patent democracy of Pike county, but did not vote either candidate for Governor. M. W. Dingman, the other Vice President, who declared previous to ihe late Presidential election, that none but fools and tories would vole for Gen. Harrison. Query? Does this lalenied democrat want any assis tance from fools and lories to elect David R. Porter. If not, how is he to be elected? Horace L. West, Secretary, formerly a warm Tariff" man, now Anti-Tariff, because he is a candidate for Sheriff, and by ihe way a pretty clever fellow. Daniel Burrel, Secretary, Ex Justice of tho Peace appointed by Joseph Rit ner, and subsequently elected to the same of fice but would not accept on account of the ex orbitant price of jEuc dollars to be paid for his commission, &c. And at the last spring's elec tion (the price of a commission having been re duced by the Legislature,) was again a candi date for the same office, to fill the vacancy oc casioned bv his refusing to serve, but did noi see the coming out. Defeated, defunct. Hen ry S. Molt, leader of the committee, and chief concoctor of the resolutions, one of the standing sentinels of Porter Bank Democracy, who was in favour of legalising ihe suspension last win ter, and recommended ihe Governor to sanction it, even if he had to include the "dead mon .ster," but siill left it lo ihe Governor in his all wise discretion to determine. During the absence of the committee, the meeting was addressed by his Honour Judge Dimmick, very respectfully advocating Porter Democracy, the distribution of ihe proceeds of Government lands among the States, which proceeds would be the means of discharging the State debt. All very good. But why did he not also recommend lhat those of the "pat nt democrats" of Pike who are indebted to the State, be requested to fork over the ready and square up their accouuts. It would aid in paying the interest on the State Debt. He denounced the Tariff, but did not tell the reasons why. He must be like lo the man who said "I do not like you Doctor Fell, The reasons why 1 cannot tell, But I do not like you Doctor Fell." If the Judge had condescended to say what he really believed in regard lo the Tariff, (and which is really the fact,) he would have said to the peo ple that this Tariff is intended to tax luxuries of foreign importations, such as wines, silks, broadcloths, and all fine fabricks, by which means labour will get its jtisi reward. Although by the same Tariff, 2 mills on a pound, or two cents on ten pounds of coffee is exacted, and this we presume is ihe great hobby, upon which ihe opponents of the Tariff are riding. Talk ing about the poor being taxed one cent on live pounds of coffee. Terrible oppression of ihe poor. Would it not have been proper for the Jude to have informed the people of that meet ing, that ihe vacuum in the United States Treas ury, occasioned by ihe Distribution act, must be supplied to defray the government expenses, for which purpose foreign luxuries are taxed. It is well known thai notwithstanding the tariff, the rich nabobs of our country will have those luxuries. Their sideboards must be filled with the choicest wines, and their wardrobes with the finest foreign fabricks. We say let these pay for ihem. But this kind of information will not answer the patent Porter democracy of Pike county. Their Democracy consists in keeping the people in the dark, and all that is necessary is that a few office hunters mount upon the hobby horse and with whip and spur away they go, crying Democracy, Democracy. The Judge then proceeds to lampoon Judge Banks, over the shoulders of Burrowes, Stevens &, Co. Does not say any thing disrespectful of Judge Banks (for the very good reason he cannot) but by the way would have the people believe that because, Stevens and Burrowes, are in faVor of Judge Banks that therefore he should not be elected. That notwithstanding his ability, mor al worth, and sterlingintegrity, which commands the esteem of men of all parties, yet because Stevens and Burrowes are favorable to hi3 elec tion, he is to be rejected. The reasons are no reasons. They are reasons such as had the man who "did not like Doctor Fell." The Judge then proceeds to recommend in very limited terms, the re-election of D. R. Porter did not say Porter should be re-elected because he ve toed ihe "Relief Bill" last session. That he was guilty of playing the double part, of affecting hostility to the bill and promulgating a mock veto, while he was secretly exercising his in- fiueuce with his political friends in the Legis lature to procure the passage of the bill by the constitutional majoriiy. Did not recommend Porter's re-election because.he has grossly, im properly and unprecedentedly used the pardon ing power, in pardoning admitted libellers be fore trial, thus interposing executive favour, between criminals upon their trial, and the laws enacted for their punishment. He did not re commend Porters re-election because he fur ther abused ihe pardoning power, by his in sub stance saying to the Courts and Juries and Bolts and Bars of the Penitentiary "set at liber ty these criminals, these letons, Jet them loose upon society, however dangerous and infamous may be their characters. They are my freinds and supporters." He did not recommend his re-election because he took without the author ity of law from the public Treasury S2,000 as fees for his brother James M. Porter and Ovid F. Johnson as counsel employed by himself to conduct a suit against a political opponent. But it does not seem lo be considered necessa ry that those reasons should be published to se cure the re-election of David Rittenhouse Por ter, ihe watch word Democracy is sufficient. But with all the science of Democracy, and the pressure of steam used to keep the ma- cninery in monon, ine Doner will sometimes burst and expose their hypocritical professions, and cloven foot. Witness the resolution adop ted at a political meeting held in Milford in January 1839, by which the self styled Democ racy of Pike resolved "lhat they would reject" "peaceably, but determinedly at the ballot box. 'all those who aided in obtaining the Shenlrs "Commission for John M. Heller." This was their determination. This was their profession. Now for iheir practice. James Nyce who was a strenuous advocate of ihe appointment of J M. Heller, was subsequently nominated and supported for County Commissioner, by the ve ry men who adopted ihe resolution referod to above. Harvy Roys, another warm advocate for the appointment of J. iVl. Heller, was nom inated and supported for Justice of the Peace, by this same denouncing party. There are others supported under like circumstances which we shall not now take time to mention. Enough is shown lo prove lhat this Porter Bank party of Pike county, is all humbug, pro fessing one thing and practicing another. De ceitful and desperately wicked. After tho Hon. Judge had finished his ad dress, the resolutions were read and adopted. They are conceived in the true spirit of loco focoism, intended for foreign rather than for home consumption. Luther Kidder the would be Porter delegate to the fourth March Conven tion, was recommended as a suitable candidate to be supported by ihe Loco-foco Porter Bank and no Bank Democracy, for the Senate, 'lhe meeting ihen adjourned sine die, and it is to be presumed that it will be stated in the publi cation of their proceedings, as a reason and ex cuse fur ihe very limited number who attended the mee'ing, (there not being more than six per sons from other parts of the County,) that it was occasioned by the very much desired rain, but which did not fall till some lime after the meet ing had adjourned. The Heavenly elements having been so condescending as to withhold the drops of rain until all those immaculate Democrats, to the number of aix, had reached the appointed place for the meeting. A SUBSCRIBER. Measuring the Mails. It is stated that there is a postmaster in Arkansas who does not possess ihe "accomplishment" of being able to read, and when the mail comes, he is under the necessity of measuring it, and sends about three pecks to Little Rock, and two pecks to Batesvillc, and dwindles down to a gallon when he comes to the out counties. Cresceni. On the 4th, an old man, with snow-white locks and tattered garments, walked to the wharf at Ashtabula, saying, "This is a day for me to die," threw himself into ihe lake, and was drowned. FBOM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. Washington, Aug. 18, 1841. We triumph! The Extra Session will give relief to the People. The great measures will go through. There was a generous giving up of feeling and opinion to day in the House of Representatives. The defeat of ihe Bankrupt bill yesterday choaked up the stream of Legis lation. Unless it had been taken from the ta ble and passed to-day, all was lost. It has been' done, and all is now safe ! We are indebted mainly for this result to the magnanimity of the Indiana and Georgia Del egations. These Slates are against the Bank rupt Law; but their patriotic Representatives gave themselves up to the Country. The same generous spirit moved Col. Taliaferro of Va., Lewis Williams of N. C, Garrit Davis, of Ky., and "Jo Trumbull," of Ct. There were other gallant spirits from Kentucky and Vir ginia ready to devote themselves if it had been necessary. The Land Distribution bill is now safe. Messrs. Berrien and Henderson vote for it. And this, you know, is the great measure of the age. It is worth to ihe People and the Repub lic more than any oiher law ever passed by Congress. It will give abundant and abiding relief. It is a guarantee for the prosperity of the Slates a pledge for the integrity of Con gress. And it seals the political fate of those arch Demagogues Benton and Calhoun. Is not this 'glory enough for one day?' Yours, T. W. Washington, Aug. 18, 1841. The Bankrupt bill, in the House of Repre sentatives, was to-day taken from the table and passed, was sent to the Senate, where the amendment was concurred in; and thus wants only the signature of the President to become the law of the land. Mr. Gamble moved to re-consider the vote, by which it was yesterday laid on the table. Mr. Cave Johnson moved to lay that mo tion on the lable; which motion, after a call of the House, was lost: Yeas 92; Nays 1 12. The motion to re-consider was then adopted: Yeas 108; Nays 98. The question then recurred on the motion of Mr. Underwood, made yesterday, to lay the bill on the lable. Mr. U. refusing to withdraw it, the question was taken, and the motion lost: Yeas 99; Nays 112. The vote on the amendment of Mr. Clif ford, yesterday adopted, was re-considered by a vote of Yeas 116; Nays 93; and then the amendment rejected. The amendment of Mr. Barnard, adopted in Committee, deferring the time for the act to lake effect on the 1st of February nexi, was then adopted wilhout a division. The question being on the final passage of the bill, Mr. Wise moved a call of the House, which was negalhed: Yeas 89; Nays 116. The bill was then passed: Yeas 111; Nays 106. Mr. Morgan, to make it 'fast,' moved a re consideration of the vote on the passage, which was negatived: Yeas 99; Nays 115. The bill to extend the Charters of the Banks of the District of Columbia was taken up in Committee of the Whole, and advodated by Messrs. Underwood and Powell, and opposed by Mr. Cave Johnson. It was then reported to the House, when a motion to adjourn having failed by 70 to 79, and an amendment having been rejected, the bill was passed: Ayes 111; Noes 106. In Senate, ihe resolution of Mr. Benton directing the Secretary of the Treasury to com municate to the Senate the quantity of public lands now surveyed and prepared for market, was adopted. The President laid before the Senate a re port from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, in conformity with the resolution of the Senate, showing the number of removals and appointments of clerks made by him and also those in the four years from 1829, from '33, and from '37. The hour of twelve, which was again looked to with grent interest, arrived, and the BanIc Bill and Veto Message were taken up; and on motion of Mr. Berrien, assigning, as a rea son, first, the necessity of farther opportunity of consideration on this important subject, were laid over till to-morrow, at the same hour, by a votn of Yeas 29; Nays 21. The Distribution bill was then again taken up, and debated at length with reference" to amendments. An interesting debate arose be tween Messrs. White, Benton, King, Linn, Clay, and others, as to the case of the delay of ihe bill, already so long. Mr. W. expressed the conviction that this measure would pass this Session, and other measures with it. The Locos above named took fire at ibis declaration, and construed this into an avowal that the bill was connected with other measures, which they, with much ado, denounced. Mr. Clay thought this bill would pass. It would not be alone, but in good company. Ho mentioned tho bills passed this Session; and last, though not least, was the Bank Bill, which he hoped, though it was hoping against hope, would still bo passed before they adjourned. The Bankrupt bill having been received from the House, the Distribution bill was, on motion of Mr. Walker, laid on the table by Yeas 26; Nays 21; and the Bankrupt hill taken up, the question being on concurring with the amend ment of the House. After a brief conversation, Mr, Allen moved to lay tho bill and amendment on ihe table to the 1st of February next. This motion was lost by Yeas 23; Nays 26. The amendments wore then agreed to, and the Seriate adjourned. Argus. New wheat at Alton, III., 50 cts. a bushel. Tennessee.

A 9TATVRAL REMEDY, Suited to our Constitutions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease will be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF TIIE5 Nortla American College of Meaitli. THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil; and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions, than medicine concocted from foreign drugs, however well they may be compounded; and as THE INDIAN VE GETABL E PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human1 body is in truth SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in their use, according to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS Will be found one of the best, if not ihe very best medicine in the world for carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body. The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have been three years before the American public; and we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that of all the various medicines which have heretofore been popular, not one has given such universal satisfaction'oi obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only,-all who use it invariably experience relief, ancPe commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef fected some of the most astonishing cures ever performed by medicine. Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials which have been received in favor of this extraor dinary medicine have been published, as the med icine obtained its present great celebrity more by its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad vertising. It has been deemed proper however to offer the following opinions of the public press, together with a few extracts firom letters of Agents, merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but is rapidly extending itself to every part of the Union From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining great celebrity in New England as well as other parts of the United Sjates. The attempt of per sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious articles, meets wilh general reprobation. Mr. Wright is an indefatigable business man, and shows an array of cures by the medicine which warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian Vegetable Pills. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. People are pretty well satisfied by this time, that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted as a general rule, to kill rather' than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines are therefore in great request. There are very many humbugs, however, among tho latter, and we would advise all those who have the least re gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 1G9 Race street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing aft. From the Boston Daily Times. INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Of all the public advertised medicines of the day, we know of none that we can more safely re commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to" than the Pills that are sold at the depot of the North American College of Health, No. 198 Tiemont street, Boston. Several instances we know of where they are used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend them in high terms. There used to be in the community, a great repugnance to tho uso o QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular M. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They are, however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consequence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively uSed than formerly.

Washington City, D. C. Extract of a letter from Lycoming County, Pa. Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being- appoint ed Agents for the sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only look one gross on trial; but it would have been belter if wo had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial they have far exdseded our most sanguine expecta tions. In fact so much so that we have been oblisr ed to send to Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more than a hundred miles from he're, for ten dozen; but these will list but a very short time,-the way we are selling them since they have been fairly tested. In the first place, I gave some to our Physicians, to make trial of since which they have purchased a number of boxes, and highly approve of them. A few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles to get a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low, and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days, my informant says she was able to help herself. We could rriention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; but would merely say; that as the season is fast approaching when there will be a great demdnd for the Indian Vegetablk Pills; and if we only could get a supply of tho med icine, we could establish other agents, which would be of immense advantage not only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but to tho public generally.
