GREAT FAIIiUKE.
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.

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.

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
