- This paper aPpearcte be exceedingly s eusituve .
relation to the public printing, and is out again npon
ns for alluding to the subject in-a long' paragraph
week before last. Why all this flies and folly'itoti?
Why all this 'abuse of- us? • Why all this seeming
friendship for Messrs. Gorges and Weodburn7 now ?
Why did not the editors of the Reptirter explain - or .
deny the statement,of this afiliir published in. our , pa
per immediately .preceding the. election, which was
in'reply to their tirade againpres a week or two pre
vious? It suited them at
. that• time, it
. appears, to
pass over our statdment in silence, which referred to
Mr. Gorges as having been put in possession of the
facts by two of:his warm Van Buren friends in this
county. That was the time for the Reporter men to
have :taken up the subject; when facts, dates; and
names were_ given-414c the more they stir the;sub-
ject,.the More they will loose by it, Or wears - greatly
misieforined. For our awn part, we' care dot a
farthing about the, atter: We stated,•in the first
place, merely of the - friend of. Mr.-
Gorges, relative to the interference of the Reporter
concern and a clerk -in the' Treasury office, to have
'Squire Buine nominatedfor the Legislature—end,
!by reference to our former remarks, the editors may
probably _ascertain the authors. =ln the-mean time,
however, we can 'tell them,' that there is some doeu
watery evidence in--down, Which would go far to
criminate smile of ttiose implicated in this interfe
re* in the local affairs or our county, not only , with
regard to Mr. Gorges, buteol. Woodburn elite,

the county ; rging th-e-elaittnrof--Wm7Barr;-Escp--for

burg_did'use great exertions with - Borne , of .the anti- -
tens in the lower end, to urge the nomination of
David Ilume,lesq. who received two votes in the
legation. Perhaps the signal failureof - the-Trea
sury candidates has created . this new-born ,teal in the
RepOrter for the.two successful ones---but, be thatei
it may,..we have only given the - facts as - they were
communicated to us b • the friends of Mr. Gorges,.
and shall Jet them settle the matter among theme
as they best - can.. . , -
0:1 , It is truly laughable to hear or 'the plots ana
outer lots" of some of the protninent Porter Men
in this coutify. - A short, time'ago, the 'Whigs were
the objects of their most decided oppinaion,and they
shouted out lustily to suppOrt their whole ticket, As it
was little less than sacrilegeto scratch the name of
any one upou it. Having now gr 4 a taste of the spells
in anticipation, they orelusing,each other up in fine
style; and the most heartless treachery is being prac..
timed. Althoughthere, are at least Iwo. individuals
out for the rrothonotarry's ince, bgth of 'Whom will
be well -snstainedly the people, - yet we were "aston
ished the other dayAn being told by an old:rnember
of the party, whose judiment and discrimination we
have great confideneelO, that neither'of them would
get the'appointmertt. '.‘'Sir,!! said he "it is not those'
who obtain the mostsignatureatd their - Petitions that
will be appointeth" They will beset at loggerheads
Iby the.knowing ones -= arid then, as a kind of PeaCe—
ofitring;another wAi be appointed with Ont a petition,
being all previously arranged. Colonel - MeCt i tinr.
did not attend the ox-roast at Hnntingdon for.noth
ing,und-he will bring with him isn lids return from
Con - gress in the beginning of, March, the office of
Prothonotary from 'David R. Porter:" .
0:1•The /ecoling article in the Vointiteer of week
before - last, is intended -to .convey the-idea, that the
'senior editor of that print writes "all and. sin
gular” -the editorial articles which appear in its col
, wrens, and that he alone is responsible - for them.—
An intelligent public, amcrns , whom areseveral of
his own' warm political friends, will smile 'at so'
bold '*m. assertion, which they know 'to - be entirely
destitute of truth. The vartriy in
. ihe stye' and
tone, it6he'dtalness and sprightliness, which we
find in the editorials of that paper; proved hit-decla
ration to be unfounded. He has tht malignancy to
assail Mr. WATTS aa-be was assailed in the .Columns

is probablfright that he should'claim the paternity

"JOSDPII RITNIDEt. AND THE BANK ni THE
UNITED.STATES.!';--tdder this imposing
head, the Harrisburg *Porter - of,the 2d
inst. contains an editorial article of more
than two 'columns in,length, .being a conti
nuation of the same slang that oceupied a
considerable space in its columns prior - to
the late electiOn. Like moat •of the edio-'
rial articles which appear in that paper, it
is loosely and slovenly written, full of Tic-
ToLoolt and PLEONASM; - and sets at defiance
both the rules Of grammai 'and rhetoric.—
Such miserable rh, •and so bunglingly
put together tan, would be a disgrace to any ,
paper; but it is more particularly so to one
`that'prOfesses to
.be the organ OriFe - d' Ofift
nant party of
. PeinasYlvania
.at the • seat of
government!' To give the reader some faint
idea of the editor's correctness, per'spict:t
ity, and, style, we - quote the first sentence
of the aiticle in question, which is..a pretty
fair specimen : of the whole—and we give it,
as the saying is, "verbatim, et literatim,
- et punctuatinu'
"Having shewn, on the 28th•of Seßtem
ber Jaat, that the first act of,Gov. Ritner's
administration,the incorporation of the
Bank_o_f_the_linitcd States--in institution_
then irk failing circuinstances--:with the ex
pansions and Speculations necessarily and
inevitably attendant en sir` rash a — financial
experiment—was the real cause of the sus
pension of specie payments."
*-The above-is a•coniplete sentence, as gi-_
then by the editoi, and is the commence
ment of a long diatribe against Gov. Rit
neri_thi U. S. /Pink of Pennsylvania; Sc-
a ors 'enrriteTilictileitia — nd , .Ba
the intelligenti reader will see at a- glanee,
-that "there-is-a hole in the-billadr_
is an ineniiplett sentence--an, unmeaning
rhapsody=—a lantatonade of nonsense"—
a thing,with a /tend, but without any tail!
It is evident that the editor, like the boy
whii-waded-beyond his depth in Water and
got drowned, _ attempted to discuss: a Sub;
ject with► which he is very superfiCially ac
quainted, when he beeairie bewilderid,Mid
soon "lost himself in a fog!" And like all
4._
men of barren mindkand shallow thoughts,
but arrogant and vain of their supposed- a
bilities, he made a bold •dash at 'the=outset,
by using...weft& of learned length and - tliu it;
dering sound-," bat he soon floundered, and
thus "exposed himielf to .- th - e derision at an
enlightened public. So 'lnuelt for the style
and correctness of this prosing and egotis- .
tical writer, who
. so frequently bores his
readers with"long yarns," full of sound, but
little reason---let us now test his veracity:,
"Gov. Ritner declined calling the legis
lature together [in May 11837,] 'because
he said] the evils under which the good
people of this commonwealth labor, have
not been produced by 'the action or the gov r
ernment or this state—a statement which
he well knew to be entirely false—for, as
we have already seen, it was produced by the
act incorporating the Bank of the U. States."
