FLAG OF THE PEOPLE!
Kr A single term for the Presidency, and
the office administered for the whole PEO
PLE. and not for a PARTY.
ar A sound, uniform and convenient Na
tional CURRENCY, adapted to the wants of
the whole COUNTRY, instead of the SHIN
PLASTERS brought about by our present
RULERS,
--- frECONOMY, RETRENCHMENT, and RE •
roan in the administration of public affairs,
fj.Tired of Experiments and Experi
menters, Republican gratitude will reward
unobstrusive merit, by elevating the sub—
altern of WASHINGTON and the dosciple of
JEFFERSON. and thus resuming the. safe and
beaten track of onr Fathers.—L. Gazette.
THE TICKET.
As soon as v e learned the nominations
made by the Convention, which met in
Philadelphia, we run up our flag, with
the names of HARRISON & WEB—
STER inst.illied is bold relief thereon.
At that time we had not room to call the
attention of our readers to it. We pur- '
pose doing so now.
If there is any peculiar trait in the
character of the American people, it is
there veneration for those who have been
instrumental in securing the blessings
they now enjoy. They have clearly pro
ven that "Republics, are not ungrateful."
The history of the past proves clearly that
fact-
The ticket which is now presented to
them, will wake up every feeling of patri
otism in the bosom of every American.
Who is Wm. Henry Harrison? Go ask
the frontier settlers, who was foremost in
that field, and boldest in that fight which
saved them from the scalping knife, and
their dwellings from the torch of the bloo
dy minded savage. Will they not an,
river William Henry Harrison! Ask
them who "fought the battles for the free"
against an enemy possessing all the con
sting of the tax, with the ferocity of the
panther? Ask them who fought and con
quered? Will they nut answer "OLD
TIPPECANOE." Ask them win se
name stands highest, among the travest
LI the brave; and they will shout forth the
name of that scar marked warrior. Ask
them whose counsels guided them when
the !.i•ed field was won"—will they not
tell 3;OU the statesman, soldier and patriot,
IIARIZISON? Ilia history and his deeds
:ire written, upon every page of our na
tional glory, and ,
"-Witheed be the hands that dare •
One laurel from his noble brow to tear."
Every child should be taught to lisp forth
a name which adds new lustre to our t),a- ,
Ilona] honor. Shall political or persoal
favoritism urge airy Ameriean citizen,
hether by birth - or adoption, to pluck
!tom the grey haired brows of our veteran
a diners, the honor earned in the hard
liught field, where their rights, the rights
of their children, "their altar and their
fireside homes" were pending upon the
i sue, and were only secured by their glo
iious triumph.
"Old Tip" cannot everbe beaten again;
once driven from the field by the factious
strifes of parties, and partizans. Like
"Old Hickory," the people will claim him
a% their candidate, and they will elect him.
lie is a candidate, like the Gineral" on
the one term principle, but his pledges
will be redeemed—the history of his ad
ministration will not be written in two
AV ords—"Piolated
We have run up to our mast head, the
flag bearing the name of hirri who never
lost a battle—and of him who has proven
himself the defender of the constitution,
as the assaults' of knavery, and tyr

stay there, until they are borne in tatters
to the ground, or they lioSt in triumph
over corruption's grave. It is truly the
flag of the brave" and through, all the
'rites and contentions of factions, or•
erseeioss, of parties,
folds shall fly, -
The sign of hope and triumph nigh."
We cannot let the present opportunity
pass, without letting some who we believe
are friends, know what is the feeling of,
the people in old Hunfingilon. They ell,
with one consent say--HARRISON;
give us the old veteran of North Bend,
and all must be secure. Let there be a
unity of feeling and action, throughout the,
union, that the people may see, that all de•
sire a iidtory, and we will insure old Hun
tingdon for 1500 majority for "Old
We say this, that there may be ho misap
roehensioil'i— and such a result cannot be I
either anticipated or hoped for with any!
other man in the field. With Harrison,
success is sure; without him, defeat.
Cretin vs. Porter.
Our readers will recollect that it suit
was instituted, by the heirs of Even Crain
againat D. R. Porter; as the surviving
partner of Paitok and Porter. The suit
was arbitrated last week; and we are nut
a little surprised to see the apparent ex
ultation with which our neighbor of the
"Gazette" publishes the award, as well
as the political character of two of the
arbitrators.
Our intention was to have referred to
the matter in no way, but to leave it
until its final adjudication. No possible
good can come from any attempt to miss
lead the public mind, or to prejudice pub•
lie opinion, for or against either of the
gants. We wonder, therefore. not a lit
tle, to see an effort thus made, to induce
the people to believe that the Illessrs.,
Crain's were actuated by any other, than
correct motives, when they laid in their
demand-
We shall, then in order that the peo
ple can understand the matter, give
in as few words as possible, the history.
'the arbitration was conducted fairly on
both sides. The defendant alleged that
the other partner, previous to his decease
had paid the, demand, and the Books of
the Firm, and the BOoks used by Patton
after the disolution were produced. The
impression, that all preient recieved, up
on seeing the entries in those books, was
that the demand had been so paid; fur there
were several entries of cash paid, Nth no
evidence of any other indrhtednece, and
consequently the award could be in no
other way, than "no case of action? It
was soon discovered that t here Were biker
book: which might lead to an exposition
of the affairs; and immediately, a request
was made by the counsel of the Crain, to
have the award opened, and to anti* the
whole testimony to be introduced, in or
der that the claim might be finally set
tled. 'Phis we are told the Counsel of
Mr. Porter, under his advise refused to
do, and the result is, that the Messrs.
Crain's have, or will appeal, being now
more than ever convinced of the justness
of their claim. We do not pretend to
know, or say any thing about the equity
of the den Arid. But we do know, that if
Mr Porter, is not indebted to the Estate
of Mr. Crain, we will be among the first
who will give publicity to the fact when
legally decided.
We should not have adverted to the
case had not, the course pursued by our
neighbor seemed to demand, that the pub
lic should be disabused.
The Legislature.
Yesterday this body assembled, and
we supposed organised,.. unless, the fac
tiots, and revolutionary spirii, evinced
by. the Loco Foco's, has led them to the
commission of some of their bloody deeds,
threatened.
: Fir our part we do not itn
magine that emir courage will be so great
when they arrive at Harrisburg—ler like
!the valorous Job Acres, it will ooze out
of their finger ends. We will keep our
readers informed as to the doings of their
law makers.
An important duty devolves upon this
Legislature, and it becomes the people to
keep a watchful eye over their doings.'
Upon them rest the power and responsi.
.
Witty of making provisionary laws to meet
the requirements of our .new Constitu
tion—and unless well watched, the laws
may be equally aristocratic and arbitrary , l
as the old Constitution. We shall devote
much of our space, to the doings of this
body.
Some Loco Foco paper, in trying to
poke fun at the Baltimore Patriot, for say- 1
ing "Whigs stand fast"—says, he should
have said, "Whigs lie still."
There is no occasion to say, to any of
the Loco Fon° Editors, either to "stand
fast" or "lie still," for most of them, can
not stand fast, because troubled with the
falling sickness; and all ofthesu lie, still, )

We had not intended to nolce Mister
Shunk's manifesto, untill we saw it in
the "Gazette" of last week. As our
neighbor considered it of sufficient impor.
tance to be transfered to his columns, we
must devote a little time and space, to
keep our readers up:to the news. We prom.
ise to be as brief to.possible, for the truth
Is it is really a 'until affair; although a
Istranger might think on reading the let
ter of Francis R. Shunk, that it was
from .some .great man; well so it is,
Frank is a great man, at least 6 foot three
in his stocking's--there his greatness
I ends—that is 6ft S. from the sole of
feet--but we are travelling out of the
record—and we he'll- our readers say,
"what has all to do with Mister
Shunk's letter?" Well nothing then,
.only to prove, what he is so anxious to
have known--tnat lie, the said F. K.
Shunk is a great man. Now to the tale.
Mister Snunk, (we always like to write
a Mani title out in full) was once clerk of
the House of Representative, and he
hopes he shall be again, and that hope is
not likely to be realised, unless the party
to which he is attached, suceed in force
ing some of their illegally returned mem
bers into their seats. Naturally a cun
ning shrewd man, [all great men are, in
their own estimation) this F. 11, Shunk
is anxious to render h:mself as notorious,
as he is great, and resolves that if he can
get hold of the legal returns, he can
make the matter work. The Law say
that the returns must be sent to the Sec_
retary of the commonwealth. Mister
Shunk, goes to the Secretary and says that
he wants them, for he was clerk and may
act again. The Secretary laughed at him
we suppose, fur who could help it, at so'
rediculous a demand—and then to cap!
the climax, ?;inter Shunk writes a long
letter demanding, the sealed returns
which were directed to the House of Rep
resentatives —and says he wants to make
out tally papers,--and get seals engra
ved for the members, pm. Now tor the
soul of ;as we cannot see how he could
discover from a sealed packet, who were
the members, unless he broke it open, and
we should not like to say he would break
open a letter not directed to him. He
admits the law does not give him any
right to them: but he wants them. And
What do you think reader! He says the
Secretary would not answer his letter!
What a fellow that T. H. Burrowes,,
must be; not to let Frank Shunk have
letters, directed to the House of Represpn
tatiyes, se:that lie could break the seals.
1;' , .7e should not wish to insinuate that he
would alter them, or put others in the
place, if they did not suit his notions: but,
he did want them, and he tacitly adiniti
that he meant to break them open, but
Tom Burrowes the “gCotl for nothing,
called Mister Shunk, he won't,' and Mis
ter Shunk a great man too.
The amount of the whole of it is Mr
Shunk demanded, what he had no right
to, and Mr. Burrowes with becoming
firmness told him, that he had no claim
to them, and should not have them-.that
they were directed to the House, and to
the House he intended to deliver them,
Either knavery or folly, must have led
Mr. Shunk into the unenviable position.
Canada.
Our news from Canada, seem to indi :
cate a final cessation of the war, there nits
been a severe fight between the Loyalists
and the Patriots in the Windmill, [as
noticed last week] The entire PetriOt

troops; and were nearly all massacreed,

If e have learned that a LOcc Foco ed
itrr in Lehigh county instituted previous
to the late election, a prosecution against
the Democratic editor of the "Lehigh
Journal," for charging the T,oco Foco
