She hail sought out the real offender,'
and had facilitated his escape to a neigh
boring port, on h:s return to the "old
eountry" again. _ _ .
Having assured herself ot his depar
ture, she now sought the interview with
the brother in prison, which she obtained,
and then and there, for the first time, re
vealed to him the mystery which had in
volved him in such fearful apprehensions.
The injunction of the brother upon the
sister, in this interview, was as noble a
devotion of [rat:real love, as the deeds of
the sister were heroic evidences of the
cbtvalry of the woman. Ile bade her not
to breathe the name of another than hiin
self, as connected with the murder. "If
1 die his death," said he, "Igo
befote my
Clod with my soul pure from the foul stain
of murder; if he is betrayed, he will be
hurried on, withmit 'the time fur repen
tance and ablution, * to a premature and
ignominious death-, 'Let Me suffer, ra
ther than risk his' chpture." The solemn
assurance of the woman of her knowledge
of tne guilt of another, and the innocence
ot her brother in confinement, of the crime
alledged, produced such set ions impres
sions upon the mind of the governor, con
nected with the assurance of the produc
tion of witnesses to establish the fact, as !
to induce him to grant the 'reprieve. It
remained now to disclose and prove these
facts. In the language of the devoted
sister, the guilty one was now "far On his
way," and the danger of his arrest Was'
removed. The affidavit of the sister,
with the other evidence which the Pub
lication of these faits elicited, was imme
diately secured.
The widow of the deceased was sought
after, and when brought for yard, ac
knowledged her perfidy to the man whom
she had left with the firmest pledge of her
heart's devotion, and joined in the belief,
that was now on all hands adopted, of
her deception in the person of the indi
vidual convicted. With suchevidence, it
need scarcely be added, the pardon of the
convict was immediately obtained, and
he again set at liberty.

The following is from a letter in the
Argus of yesterday.
OODENSBUZI), Nov, 1 2, 1838.
"Early this morning, two schooners fil
led with 'patriots' cause down opposite
this place--one grounried on the bar.
The U. S. steamer also arrived some time
in the night; she had it seems, taken some
60 or 70 passengers on board on her wzt.V
down, who proved to be 'patriots,' secret
ly armed. After the Captain had left for
his lodgings, they took possession et the
boat, and compelled the engineer, Mr.
Taylor, and one of the pilots, Mr. Foster,
to remain on board. They went out, and
after a short time returned and called for
ropes, to tow the schooner off the bar.
Ropes were soon handed to them by some
one, and after taking a considerable quan
tit of wood, she again went out.
it made my blood boil to see such out
rageous violation of law, Without the least
means of preventing it, and so many ap
parently glad to see it going on. As soon
as the boat got on the British side, she
was fired at from the British government
steamboat, which conducted plying up and
down in front of the village. One of the
schooners landed some 60 or 70 persons
about a mile below the village, near the
stone windmill. The U.S. went down to
Johnstown Bay—for what purpose, I do
not know. After stayins some time she
came up, &, when near this place, was fired
at two or three times by the British steam
er; the last shot proved fatal to Mr. Fos
ter, the pilot. A grape shot passed through
the wheel house, struck him in the head,
and killed him instantly. He was a very
worthy young man, and his death is much
lamented.
Considerable firing passed between the
same steamboat and one of the schooners,
and a number are said to have been killed
on board the steamer, which I think very
likely, as I saw them pretty close, and'
using cannon and small arms freely.
'leth schooners after this came dose in
cur shore, and are now preparing, it is
said, to go over and land; they must do
something immediately, or those left there
this morning will be captured.
Seven o'clock, P. M.—The schooners
have gone over. The celebrated Bill
Johnson is commander, but I understand
they Ire pretty much all captains-6nd
subordination. I think when morning
coons. "the patriots" will be found on
this side, if they can get over. This state
of excitement is very disagreeable. lam
also afraid of retaliation fruit - , the other
side, but hope we shall have seine regu
lars here in a day or two.

Oa Sunday evenin the whole of the
back country above taprairie presented
the awful spectacle of one vast sheet ofi
lurid flame, and it is reported that not 1.
single rebel house has been left standing.
God only knows what is to become of the
surviving tilanadians and their wives and
families during the approaching winter,
as nothing but starvation from hunger and
cold stares them in the face. It is melan
choly to reflect on such awful consequen
ces of rebellion, of the irretrievable ruin
of so many human beings, whether inno
cent or guilty. Still, the supremacy of
rhe laws must be maintained inviolate,
the integrity of the *spire must be asser
ted, peace and prosperity must be seou
red to British subjects, even at the ex
pense of the entire nation Canadienne.
The punishment already inflicted has
been severe, but it is not enough. The
hanging of twenty leaders will have more
effect than the killing of two hundred
men in action, and if any are spared from
the gallows, they ought to be sentenced to
hard labor and chained together macadam•'

ALIBETIXO.
Pursuant to public notice, a large and
respectable meeting was held in the court
House at Huntingdon on Tuesday eve
ning the 13th inst, for the purpose of ex
pressing their sentiments. upon the Pres
idential contest.
The meeting was organized by calling
GEORGE HUDSON to the chair, and
appointing John Stonebraker.Jchn Blair
David 7ussey, and Charles If limn, Vice
Presidents; and R. L, Johnston, John H.
Steffer, and Jer. Cunningham Secretaries !
On motion a committee of twenty were
appointed by the President, to draft reso-,
lotions, expressing the Sense of this mee•
Ting. The committee consisted of
David Blair, Esq. John Brotherline
James Morrow, Dahiel Tague
Peter Hewit, Miles Green,
John Stever, K. L Green
John Hy 'enui, John Steetzs,
Samuel }famish, Gee. Davis,
Thompson Burge, J. H, Stanebraker
Alex. M'Farlin, Alex. B. Vancleve
James Clawson, Wm. P. Orbiaoir
C. Crum, Jas, E. Stewart.
After retireing for a short time; the
committee returned and reported the fol.
llowing; which were unanimously adopted.
But little more than ten years ago the
cry was started in Congress, and indus
triously spread from one extremity of the
Union to the other, that the General Gov
ernment had become grossly corrupt and
extravagant. The people were called cm
to awake and see to it, or their dearest
rights and privileges would be squandered
away. The people became aroused at
once; for faithful sentinels are easily awa
kened—sand while yet under the excite,
ment of alarm, a new Guardian is presen
ted to their consideration. A candidate
for the Presidency is placed before them'
pledged to reform; no abuse of power how
ever flagrant, no extravagance however
alarming, no injury however great that he
would cot reform. Reform, reform,
was the magic word; the people echoed
back reform, and Andrew Jackson was
chosen president of the U. States. The
nistory of nis administration is but a re
cord of violated pledges, and broken
promises. Elected as a Democrat, he
organizes his administration on the fist
cardinal principle of federalism, a strong
(ring policy, he had begun. - Martin Van
Buren was no favourite of the people, he
had no claim on their,, gratitude or af
fection, !but Gen. Jacksondmil Said he
must be elected, and he was elected.
His administration, though short as
yet, is remarkable. Pledged to
"follow in the footsteps of his illustrious
predecessor" his first official declaration
contradicts all that had igen said and done
by him. Jacksot.'s great hobby was to k
improve the currency. Van Buren's first
step is to declare that the government has
iipthing to do with regulating the curren
cy of the country. Jackson, professetl,
the greatest love for the dear people, and
bid theirs an affectionate farewell. Van
Buren directly declares, 'let the people
take care of themselves, they are apt to
expect too much from ;their government.'

~,,e - ous and happy." Vali' Bpren

Ito such a degree, that am constrained to
'call an extra session of C.. s :."agiLesa, to de
vise ways, and means of relies. Jackson
professed opposition to paperinoney. Van
Buren in his first message, reccominend2
the issue of Millions of irredeemableca-I
per money. Jackson took credit for pay. .
tog off the national debt. Van Buren has
created a new national debt of twenty
millions of dollars. Crooked and pre
verse, as Gen Jackson's footsteps were,
Van kiren has not followed in them, tho.
pledged to do so. but has chosen n course '
of his own, untrodden, and untried, and I
still more reckless +hen his predecessor. '
He has proposed, and attempted to plam
on a free people, the feudal scheme of a
Sub-treasury.
A eareful examination of this Scheme,
in dll its bearings, might easily satisfy a
republican, jealous of the liberties of his
country, that it may be made the corner
stone of a throne. By divorcing the gov
ernment from the people, it would place
the servants above their master's, and be
yond their controul. It would create a
' standin g army of o ffi ce holders through
out the length and bredth of our land;
from the great Sub.treasurer himself,
doWn to the petty tyrant that lords over
the village Post Office. At the head of
. this army would be stationed the Presi
dent, of the U. States, with the sword
of the nation in his one hand, and the
purse_of the people in his pocket. Such
' a consentration of power as this, in the
Executive of the nation, makes him little
less than King; in fact, if not by title.
Therefore Resolved, that, we declare
an opposition to every scheme by which
, power is attempted to be taken from the
people, and vested in the Government.
We declare an opposition to the Govern
' ment usurping any new powers, or en
laming the old ones by the constitution,
, o
•or otherwise: We declare an opposition
' to any attempts made to break down the
• old Republican Institutions of the coon
; try, and to force Rirward in their stead,
wild and visionary ex p eriments.
We declare an opposition to the gener
.al Government, intermeddelling with
I state rights, politics, and state elections.
We declare an opposition to Martin V.
t Buren, and his Sub-treasury scheme.
I Resolved; That in Wm. IT • HARItI•-
t eons, we recognise the Patriot and States
' man, qualified to succeed Martin Van
' Buren to the ni xt Presidency of the U.
• States, and rescue our government from
, the hands of the lawless, and corrupt.
Resolved; thnt of the different names

president; Gen. Hafrison is our favour
ite—while we admire his takes', and in
tegrity in the councils of peace, our grat

MANY C ITIZENS.
Morris Township, Boy. 26, 18811.
John Stenebraker Sera,
Previous to the late election, partly
through the Instrumentality of some of
'our friends, and partly from a conviction
that the truth should be made known.
The above named individual was induced
!o relate certain transactions, which it
was alleged had fallen under his knowl
edge relative to one of the candidates for
the Executive chair. Imm?diately upon
its publication, the cliaracted of Mr.
Stonebraker was attacked l y the whole
horde o f presses opposed to him, in the
most wicked manner, and every epithet
that degredation could imagine, and ev
ery falsehood that slander could invent
were heaped upon him. Nor were the
presses alone. Individual men of sup
• posed integrity, and'►norality, seized the
. baseless, and malicious inventions, and
reitereated them, as though they were the
' coinage of truth, and founded upon so►ne
show of fact. Without a certain knowl
. edge of any of the circumstances, they
boldly pronounced Mr. Stoitebraket, a
, perjured villittn, and a ruthless knai , e,
, that (merely for the paltry pittance that
another received from the admistration,)
this old man, whose hairs have been bleach
.• ed by the frosts and snows of more than
60 winters, had while tottering upon the
brink of eternity, sworn, by the God Of
his daily worship, to a wilful falsehood.
Where Mr. 'Stonebraker was known,
I those charges fell as harmless as the blun
ted arrow. Huntingdon county has re
corded her verdict of his worth. Here,
'hi s nam e stands without spot or blemish.
Not so throughout the state. Many,
very many honest, and worthy men, we
doubt, not imagine• that the disclosures of
Mr. Stonebraker, were political false.
hoods engendered in the hot bed of party
passion, - prejudice, and strife, of course
paid little or no attention, either to the
i thargcs made by or against him. Others'
equally conscientious, thought it the pp
duction of some shameless knave, got up
to decieVe where both his name and char
acter were unanown. And still another
portion, felt, that if his statements were
true, the greatei the ithportake of hav
ing his character blasted,. and his name
made synonituous with villiany, and cor
ruption.
. .
The people of this county, who willing
ly gave their names to sustain thechartic.
ter of Mr. Stonebraker, owe it to theM.
selves, to step forward, and protect their
names from the reproach of lending them
to bolster up ought, that could not bear
public investigation. The . l also owe it to
Mr. Stonebraker,! . if they were at all instru
mental in thus placing his name into the
hands of a polluted, and venal band of pot;
iticians, who. would destroy his reputa
tion; and dance in joy over his grave,
could they succeed and reap the reward
of such iniquity by being allowed a place
"near the throne" of their toaster.
At tLe head of our columns will be
found a call of a meeting, emanating from
the "old guard," cant a meeting to
assemble within her honcred borders, !to
adopt some measures to secure Mr. Stone
braker froM any farther assaults frotti the
same source, and also to devise some
means to eradicate any misapprehensions
of his real character and worth. We re
joice at this —antq we trust, that every
man who believes what Mr. Stotiebraker
swears, will be there in attendance.
Huntingdon county is not so debased:
so far sunken in the scale of mural degra
dation, as to allow her honest, and grey
haired citizens. to be,buffeted, and tram
pled upon, and call it sport.
The contest is now over, and the
?loam" should take means to protect
themselves, if injured—not only to pro
tect themselves---but to prove that the
tongue of slander shall not exult in its
shame, and pass unpunished for crime s
committed, when those crimes were dee
med of use, :to carry out their schemes (it
iniquity.
John Stonebraker's character will come
out from the furnace, like gold, seven
limes tried. Let his friends stand by
him. Let that meeting he large, enthu•
siastic.
