Britain hoped to subject! The remelt was
what might have been expected. They
met to determine between apparent slave

foot of the oppressor or be crushed beneath
it. Their deliberations were calm and
unmoved, neither urged by rage nor check

desolation was thundering above them,
they sat in the conscious of right, solemn
but uuterified; and held! with AR antrem•
bling band the baLiice of reason, in which
they weighed their duty awl/ their desti

doubtful, "We have counted," said they,
the cost of the contest, and find nothing
so dreadful as voluntary slavery." With
out passiun, and without fear, calmly but
firmly, they pledged their lives, theii for

freedom. how noble was that determi

Patriotism, *Urging from the sickening

Never since Philip flourished, and Ce
sar subjugated the nations of the earth,
has the eye of the world been dazzled by
so brilliant an assemblage of events is
has been recorded] on the tpage of history
since the,commencement of the nineteenth
century. Not only have the chains of
despotism ceased to rattle on the arms of
the children of the west, but liberty will
be expeoted to walk forth triumphant in
thegardens of Europe. Not only on our
own shores, hare the noble nations of the
north hurled to the earth the shackles of
slavery, but the daring sons of the south
hare •caught rho sacred ffkime,l and have
risen like the lion from his lair, to battle
and to victory. The brilliant banner of
liberty floats triumphantly over the wes
tern world, The empire of degrading
despotism has passed away amid the
wrecks of former revolutions and chaos
of storms and darkness. Hail brave and
beautiful Fratice.;;ltail land of La Fayette
and liberty; thou art worthy to be free.
Never etas there a more gallant nation or
a more polished people. Born in the lap
of luxury and learning, it is not strange
that the flowery and Nourishing France
should sigh to ho free. Nor is if the first
time that liberty, arrayed in her sky blue
cap, has walked forth in her flowery
fields. When Napoleon arose, like a gi
ant from his slumbers, and dashed the
eeeptre from the trembling hand of the
Bourbon, all France rejoiced, and the echo
of French redemption was heard in the
remotest whldernes of the west. England,
the cool and crafty England, looked from
her stormy hills with a jealous eye, for
she feared the approach of that genius,
that carries desolation to the thrones of
despots. She trembled, least freedom
shoald sever the chains which had so long
bound her sons to feudal servitude mad
toilArShe beheld the tiger of Corsica, as
he gieMpled with the demon of despotism,
and trembled at theprospect of a similar
fate. But fair and fertile Franee was not
then prepared !for the glorious rifting of
the luminary of liberty. Storms and
darkness rested upon her bosom, and the
long night of anarshy and aristocracy
overshadowedther triumph. Power was
in the hands of a few unprincipled ruf
fians, more despotic than the Bourbon,
who had fled an exile from his fallen
throne, under their hellish reign of terror.
'Fite scaffolds and the streets of Paris,
streemetqwith the blood of her best and
bravest citizens, until the gullontine blu
shed at the aedacity of , her demoniac ru•
:ere. But the beads of the tyranical Ro•
bespierc and his interval coadjutors, hive
paid the forfeit of their frenzied career,
and the storm of extermination which so
long darkened all France, has sunk,. long
since, below the horizon, and the b ri lliant
luminary of liberty has risen again, in all
the unclouded grandeur of American
glory. The rapidity of those splendid
events which have regenerated France,
lons astonished the world, and scattered
the sacred flame of Freedom throughout
:ill Europe. Never did a tempest is the
elemental world, rise with such fearful ve
locity fr om the west; and never did a
revolution in the political world ,strike such
instantaneoss terror to tyrants, it comes
like a clap of thunder i n a clear sky—it
burst upon the sons of men, like some
swellin,,s cataract, which had suddenly
broken over its barrier.—lt flashes upon
the bewildered imagination li ke a mighty
volcano, scattering - its long.pent fires in
the Heavens. It passed all the sublimity
and grandeur of the former Revolution, tli-
Aes t e d of half ,'s toil "I
gis. sudden was the electric flash, that
all France was wrapped in the conflagra
flan ere the eye of dispassionate, reason'
could look upon it andazzled, or the un
derstanding digest the truth of co splen
dan event. There is no era in the an
fnals of ages, no action recorded en the
pages of history, which may be compared
to this. Posterity will be astonished at
the desperate and daring deed, and cele
brate with delight the chivalrous spirit of
the sons of Freedom.
But there are thousands of men whose
bosoms are now beating with silent dissat
iSfaction. They had vainly hoped that
Napoleon had given the last blow to tyr
anny, and hurled the last crown from the
head of the Bourbon dynasty, and again
the lingering hope revived that Charlee
X. was the last of that hated race who
should sway the feudal sceptre and wear
the unhallowed crown which had decen
ded to him from his effeminate and tyran
ic ancestors, after having deluged the
streets of Paris in blood, and trampled to
victory over the bleeding corees of their
countrymen, they were not prepared to be
hold the last remnant of the Bourbon fam
ily elevated over the ruins of a former
throne, still reeking with the blood of the
brave. They had hoped, however accom
plished, however patriotic, that the very
name of that detested race had been ob
literated from the memory of man, anti
doomed to glide silently down the tide of
oblivion, with the wrecks and relicks, of
their former grandeur and glory.
A breeze from the new world had borne
to their ears the renown of the rising and
flourishing Republic in the west, and they
had sighed for a government of the same
lenient and patriotic principles. They
had read with delight ou the pages of his
tory, of the glorious achievements of
Washington,—of the empire of freedom,
which had risen on CI.: ruins of a despots
dominions—they had read of those imper.
ishable and imprescriptible rights which ,
were enjoyed in their purity and hope,
whispered, that France should be model•
led on the same forte, and enjoy the same
patriotic prerogatives. A darkening cloud
hangs big with destiny over Europe, a
mighty volcano is ready to burst, and scat
ter- desolation to the hopes of tyrants.
A storm of passion, more awful than an
avalanch of the Alps, is rolling up the ho
rizon to precipitate is livid lightnings on
the foes of legitimate government, and
the sacred riglits of man. Tremendous
will be that hour when all Europe shall
feel and assert her independence. The
tocsin of alarm has already sounded, and
the torch of civil war blazes in the capi
tals of the continent, already has the dark
browed sons of Spain, caught the exhiler.
ating spirit of freedom, and the throne of
the despotic and bigotted Ferdinand tot
ters to its fall. The hardy, the warlike ;
race of BelgiuM, have aroused from their
slumbers, the contest has raged in Brus-
eels, and all Netherland is in alarm. Nor ,
have the bright and beautiful children of
Italy, the sunny clime of science and of
song, lain quietly beneath their wrongs.
They too are up, their galling chains are
rattling on their arms, and the cry of liber
ty is heard in their cities.
Beautiful and brilliant Italy, she is wor- ,
thy to follow the sons of liberty in throw
ing off the yoke, which has for ages bound
her sons to one long night of superstition
and ignorance. The same lovely land
which once gave law and learning to the
world, is worthy to be free, and to flourish
again in her primeval greatness and glory.
, And will the many millions of Russia
tamely crouch at the feet of their auto
crat, nor make one brave effort for fame
1 and freedom 7 Will the:, still bow be
fore the throne of their patricidal Lace of
Muscovite Czars, nor wish to see the
Kremlin again in smoking ruins 7 Will
not the snow clad hills of ancient Scandi
navia echo the shoots of victory, and her
warrior sires catch the spirit of the gal
lant sons of liberty 7 Will the blue eyed
genius of Germany, and the impetuous
heroes of Hungary still wear their chains?
Say ! Can Switzerland, the romantic
Switzerland, forget the triumph of her
own William Tell, and hear unmoved the
cries of vine Liberty, vine la Republique?
It is impossible. The time is rapidly ap
proaching, when the glittering crown will
be hurled from the head of itnbecility, and
the yoke of despotism broken - in frag
ments at the feet of the god like liberty.
Freedom shall walk forth in the gardens
of Europe. Pepal supermacy, nor the
dungeons of holy Inquisition, shall awe
the minds of men. They will arice in
their mighty strength, rend assunder the
unholy union of Church and State, and
teach a lesson to tyrants, that men, deter
mined to be free, can never be enslaved.
Spain the land of romantic chivalry, is al
ready ripe for the contest, perhaps ere
long the mighty blow will be struck, and
the tyranica' house of Braganza, the op
pression of the monks will share the same
fate which has blotted that of the Bourbon
from the catalogue of Royal magnificence.
Perhaps ere this the streets of Madrid
have been drenched in blood, and the tri
coloured flag floats proudly on the ram
parts and palaces of Gibralter, Cadiz, and
the Capitol.
. . . ... .
Thei.e seems to be a terrible game to be
played in Europe, and the happiness of
millions depends upon the contest. Should
Spain, like America succeed in the over
' threw of her tyranical twister, what scenes
will be presented in the dungeons of her
hellish Inquisition. Not more horrific
were the secret recesses of the Bastile,
than would be the gloomy caverns of
Monkish cruelty and Intrigue.
There perhaps the carious might gaze
upon the theatre of crimes, which a ray of
thr never visiteil, and ryp, save
those of the holy brotherhood ever pene
trated. Yet, it is to he hoped, that amid
the gloom and terror of the scenes, Liberty
will ride forth triumphant, and despotism
go down in blood like a star that is to rise
no more.

The 4th.
We have given a large portion of ou r
paper up to the sayings and doings on the
4th. We feel bound to do so. Nothing
should be left undone, which may tend to
keep aliv, a remembrance of the glories
of that day, sixty-three years ago. It is
the political sabbath of our country. On
that day, every age and sex should meet
around the altar ot their country, and of•
fer up their party prejudices and passions,
and meet like brothers, and see who who'd
outstrip the other in cultivating the love
of our country and her laws.
The sp:ce therefore allotted to-day to
the sayings on the 4th we consider devoted
to the whole country. There is much
there that is well said, and the young and
old will rise from its perusal, with the
spark of patriotism glowing more brightly
in their bosoms.
Fellow Springs Post 01/ice.
We have on numerous occasions, re
ceived complaint of the conduct at this
Office, since its removal from Yellow
Springs. At present we understand,
the acting Post Master, has no other au
thority than a deputation from Mr.
Mcßieman, who now lives at Hollidays
burg. We should like to know what there
is to restrain this deputy from, all kinds
of neglect or misconduct. "rhe people ofl l
Morris, it seems to be the victims, of offi
cial oppression and misrule, because for
sooth will not bow their knees to the
Baal of Van Burenistn. It is time the
people took the matter in hand. The cor
ruptions at Washington, find a helping
hand is the knave who now direct the
destines of Pennsylvania, and to protect
themselves, the people must hurl them
both from power.
Colerain Post 011 lee.
For upward of forty years there has ,
been a Post Office kept at Colerain For- 1
gee, in this county. IT us NOW DISOON
TINUZD, although surrounded by a very
dense population. A uew one has howev
ever been established at the mouth of
Spruce Creek, three miles below Cole
rain.
That our readers may judge of the mo
tives which could prompt such a total dis
regard of the peoples wishes—such a per
fect infringement upon their rights, we
will briefly state the situation of the
'country.
Immediately at the mouth of Spruce
Creek there are a few houses, and their
Judge Collins.
We learn from our Harrisburg papers,
that the. Supreme Court have decided that
the commission of Judge Collins of Lan
caster, is Doll and void.
As some of our readers may not recol
lect the circumstances upon which he re
ceived his commission, we will briefly
state them as correctly as they have come
to our knowledge.
Judge Collins was appointed some time
in the year 1336, President Judge of the
district of which Lancaster is a part. At ,
ter the election of 1838 , when every body
had learned that the new constitution was
adopted, Judge Collins resigned his Judge
ship, and immediately asked a re-appoint
ment, which he received. The only pos
sible reason to assign fur such conduct is,
the fact that had his last commission pro
ved geod, he could have held his office
ten years from the date thereof. While
by his first, his term would have expired
two years sooner. For the new constitution
declares that, all the judges of the last
class hold their commissions ten years from
th e date of their appointment._ By this
movement then Judge Collins expected to
hold his Judgeship until 1848 instead of
1846. The Supreme court have decided
that his last commission was null and void,
his resignation has rendered the first
one useless—consequently the Judge is
Judge no longer. The Judge has certain
ly not read the fable of the doz crossing the
stream.
We are rejoiced at this dccision. When
we see men in high places, stooping to
such a paltry trick to extend the tenure of
their Aim we glory in seeing them be
'come the victims of their own duplicity.
Judge Collins, we doubt not, was a capa
ble and efficient Judge; but when suoh
men can be tempted with two years of
office, to forget their dignity—and in fact
their duty,—we say let them fall.
This decision we believe is final; and
by it the &prelim Court have decided that
their own chief justice fills his chair with-
out a shadow of right. Chief Justice
Gibson played the same disreputable trick,
in order that he might still hang on to trit
loaves and fishes of office. If the cont.
mission of Collins, is null—so is Judge
Gibson's—this is plain matter of fact,
The decision of their own court has de.
dared that Judge Gibson has no right up
on the bench. However much we may
regret the removal of Judge Gibson frant
the bench, we feel bound to sat that upon
the authority of his present commission,
he has no right there. One of our Har
risburg, papers says, "we think Porter
dare not extend the sane rule to Judge
Gibson." We hope that he not only dare
support the established 'law of the land.,
but that he will do so. • Judge Gibson re
signed his first commission—the law has
pronounced his last void--therefore he is
not a Judge.
We cal; not how eminent a men is—
or how useful he may be in his station--
he has no right to hold his office against
law; and if the Judge was so blinded by
an overweening desire for office, as not to
see that he caught at a shaddow, why let
him learn it in the bitter school of experi
ence. We have a bad enough opinion of
our Governor now; and we should have a
touch worse one should he dare to let the
chief justice wear his judicial roles with
out authority. We third: our Harrisburg
coteruporary spoke hastily when he evin
ced a desire to continue the Judge in °t
rice without a commission.
The profound abilities of Judge Gibson
may entitle him to a re-appointment by
Mr. Porter,•—yet we !night almost say,
lie deserves It not, fur so fir forgetting
what was due to himself, 119 to case some,
of his enemies to say that his judicial ei
mine was soiled with the lepros spots of
political office hunting.
AVIe Judge.
Most of our readers, have probably
learned that Calvin Blythe, the President
Judge of the court in Dauphin county, has
resigned; and reader, who do you think
Poker has appointed in his stead? Jan Es
NlantsoN Pos,TEn: his Masonic brother.
It is impossible to assign any cause why
Judge Blythe resigned, unless it was a
wish to get rid of the trial of the rioters,
who are arraigned fur treason. True, he
was a candidate for nomination in the
convention which took up Porter. True
he was a little chagrined at the success o
such a nuns; and it may be that he lir
the promise of something better, if I
would resign, and allow h.snest Davy
appoint the right kind of a man to try t
"dog•keepers" There is at least room
suspicion, _
But what do you think of it Penns:
vanians? Porter has selected his o
brother to set rn judgement on those v,
men whose treasonable character was c •
culated to assist himself. Is not I
keeping it in the family? Is it not rat
a high handed move for the Governor f
this State, to select his own broftle ,
such an important station, over of
equally capable, and more deserving ► I
Many causes are assigned for 3
course, all alike disreputable to the '-
pointing power. It is said the parti s
of traelligent Duey, had declared
they were tired with seeing James M. !-
ways at Harrisburg, without any ap -
ent business; it looked too much as i is
was there to lead they by the nose, to
write his messages, and to tell him it
bills to sign, and which to vete; and I
for this reason he was given the Judge
so that there might be some excuse for
staying to take care of his less iutellig
but may be notjess honest brother. t
tam it is, that since Porter's inaugerat ,
this same brother has been incessantl :
liarrisburg; making a pretty good rea t
for the suspicion. Others say, he I
hold his appoint:l:hat only until the r, •
era are tried, and then very likely Ju
Blythe will take it again, for the al :
term under the new constitution.
these are all surmises; it is sufficient
say, that Porter has selected his brotl
(a high mason), to try other masons, cli
ged with high crimes and misdemeanor
Is not such conduct enough to awak
the suspicions of every Honest man.

has been suggested that the journals in ti
