Go to the polls and oppose the whole ticket of that party, who say they are opposed increa sing canal officers—yet put double the number of any former administration up on the works. Oppose the party which say they are opposed to strangers,--and yet give offices and contt acts to foreigner, —sulderts of British tyrants, ayd the pen sioned slaves of a crowned head—aliens I to our country, our feeling, and our laws. Oppose the party that told you they would listen to your petitions for offices—and 'then make your officers of darcted ihieves, ccmmun drunkards, and Eng lish slaves. Did you petition for then'? Did American freemen ask to have such to fill their offices. Do you scorn a knave? Go to the polls ;and oppose the nominations of David it. Purter. They are his companions—and .be they ever so honest now, it is danger •ous--"Evil communications corrupt good ;manners." Are you willing to be made the dupe of 'Porter? If not, go to the polls and by .your vote say that he cannot delude any longer by presiding at Anti-Bank meet ings, when he now gives the U. S. Bank. the former object or his pretended hatred. $400,000 to join his party. Are you prepared to let the new consti. lotion expire at its birth? If not, go to the polls anti vote for the right of the peo ple to elect canal commissioners. The party who advocate Patterson and Mas sey, are pledged to oppose the people's right to vote for canal officers,--while the party who support Higgins and Morrison are pledged to carry that I)emecratic pro, vision if - they get a majority in the Legis lature. Are you willing to support those who date violate every pledge made to the people last fall —and plunged'into every act of villiany and knavery, that they then charged upon their opponents? If you are, then vote the Loco Foco ticket. For they promised to reduce the canal officers, and they appointed seven where there were four—and made one new office for Mr. Riter, a superintendant on a fin ished line--the first in Pennsyivania his tory. They promised to obey your yeti• 'fions. Who petitioned for the appoint ment of Rita . / Who petitioned for the appointment of David Woods? Who pe titioned for the appoitAinent ofJohu Piper? Who petitioned for the appointment of Squire PARSONS? Who petitioned for the appointment of Thomas Levers? And where fee the long petitions of the num ber of honest and capable men that did ask for these very offices? Every promise has been viaated. Are you ready to tell such traitors to their own friends, that the scales has fal len from your eyes—that you can be cajo led, duped, and decieved no longer? If so, go to the polls next Tuesday and vot e the entire Democratic Antinaasonic ticket —the only Democratic ticket— and let the perjurer, the drunkard, the rowdie, and the thief learn, that from you they steed expect n'o countenance. Are you opposed to the scenes of mob and riot which disgraced the seat of gov ernment last winter? If you are, let the actors in that scene learn that you record that opinion at the ballot box. The Infamous falsehood of the "Adco• care" about Major Steel, we observe, was' not re-uttered last week. We take it for granted, that they are gathering up all the malignant poison of their guilty hearts —and this week will open the flood-gates and deluge our friends with their filth. We trust they will heed them not. Did you only know the real character of bil ly m'cay, you would see at once that it is all harmless. He is the spout through which others reach the public. They pitty even condemn his conduct themselves; yet, what can they do, they do not wish to be seen in such timings, and of course they stick in poor billy, like a vagra mit in tim.3 pillory, for us to pelt, while they stand back and laugh at his, as well as their own situation. We wish all our readers, and in truth every honest man in this county, to bear in mind that much of the praise m,l* the candidates of Mr. Porter, erne ti rotes from one of thetnselces, Ile is de- voting his time incessantly to telling the subjects of his special enmity. Major' Steel, he would intimate, has stolen from ; the Commonwealth. Every man that' knows the two individuals, knows, that tie would sooner trust James Steel Esq. with uncounted gold, than he would the writer of that article with an untanned dog's skin; if it was where it would sell for ticker . Turn Out! Every Man. NM° values his rights, and the rights of the people will be on the election ground early, and when there will deposite his vote in favor the Democratic Anti-Ma sonic ticket. Every man who is opposed to the party whose head man pleads the statute of re pose on his poor wood chopper, to cheat him out of his pay, must turn out early and oppose David R. Porter's ticket. Every man, who is in favor of the peo ple's electing their officers must vote for Morrison & Higgins, for their opponents are pledged to keep the appointing power in the hands of the Governor. Every man, who is convinced now, of the truth of Porter's character as we said it was last fall, must turn out and vote against his ticket, to teach him that if they did not Olen they do now "KNOW HIM." Every man, who was dupe►l by the lies of Porter and his friends, to believe they "you'd give them oflice, or that they would listen to the petitions of their friends, is bound to oppose his ticket now.— Or he admits that he is willing to be du [Ted still. Every man, who voted for Porter, be_ cause he thought he was opp.sed to the U. S. Bank, is in duty bound to vote against his party now.—For a deceitful friend is a thousand titries worse than an open foe. . Every man, who thinks the people have a right to make their own nominations, should 'oppose the Loco Foco ticket, for it was nominated by Porter--and the con vention was afraid to oppose, his men. If lw are the Bank Meek? Two years ago, and Porter and his tools were all abusing the U. S. Bank. Now they give her four hundred thou. sand dollars as a bonus to lend them money, and save their credit; and what is still worse, they give her the privilege to issue five dollar notes. Do you doubt us reader? We can tell you that it is believed that the Bank has the •vritten opinion of Porter's At torney General, that she has the right to issue the whole loan in small notes. Can any honest man vote for a party that profess one thing and do another ? Give us an open and frank foe, to a sly, treacherous. and deceitful friend. Porter and his party have decieved the people ; and we feel confident the people will de cieve them on next 'Tuesday. Do not the citizens of this county re member how Porter and his party, abused Joseph Ritner, because he did not appoint James Steel Prothonotary? In their meet. inn they proclaimed, the outrage, that had been committed. They said that nearly all th 3 citizens of this county were in fa vor of his appointment.--They said, he was honest and capable. Now they say he is, dishontst—a state robber--an abo litionist-3very thing that is bad.— Thev said the first, because they were willing to show their friendship, after his appointment was defeated. But now when, Mr. Steel, is placed before the people to prove that he was, and is their choice, then these hypocritical scoundrels; turn and abuse him without measure. When he attends the sick bed of the d3ing—and tries to "kindle a flame of sa cred love"—in the last moments of the in valid—they call it "going to see a sick nigger."--Is there a christian in our county will sanction such baseness, and such wickedness. James Steel is too well known, to suf fer from the taunts and jeers of a com mon reviler of religion. The people of this county will tell these common defa mers that it is no place for them. Their candidate for Register we will not name in the same day of the week with ours—Because, we respect Mr. Reed —Mr. Reed is a gentleman, and does not tintt , it necessary to write his own praises in any If you vote FOR Patterson & Massey, - you vote against the election of Canal [Commissioners. If you vote FOR Patterson & Massey, you vote to sanction the tyranny of Jimmy Clark--on the Public works. But it you vote FOR Mortison gins, you vote in favor of all these Demo - - Icratic mcasure--aad against the dictation of one man Are you in favor of electing Canal Corn missioners ? If so, go to the polls and vote for Morrison and Higgins. If -you vote for their opponents rest assured they dare not in the Legislature vote totake power from the hands of Porter. Do you wish to see the public works 'a source of revenue 1 If so, vote for those for Assembly who will pass a law to elect Catial., Commissioners. Then and nut till then will they be under the direction of experienced and faithful officers—while the power of appointing them, remains with the government, so long will they be the means to pay ollpoliticians; and their means will be sqoardered, and each swarm of office holders driven oft; will only give place to a more greedy horde, who will onl) tntten upon the spoils to give place I to others more rapacious still. Whereas elected one annually, the fluctuation cannot be so rapid. The Board can at no time be filled by unexperienced men, and the officers will not be the paltry slaves of the Governor or his advisers. To secure this latter result, vote for Morrison and Higgins—for to vote for Patterson and Massey, is to say the people cannot elect their officers. FREEDOM OF OPINION. * * "What barrier is there against the universal despotism of public opinion lin this country, but individual freedom? Who is to stand up here, but the posses- Stir of that lofty independence ? There is nn king, sultan, no noble, nu privileged class; nobody else to stand against it. If you yield this point, if you are forever ma king compromises, if all men do this, if th e e ntir e policy 6rprivate life here, is to escape opposition ant: reproach, every thing will be swept beneath the popular wave. There will be no individuai;t;, no hardihood, no stern resolve, no self-sub sistence, no fearless dignity, ne glorious' manhood of mind, left among us. The holy heritage of our lathers' virtues will be trodden under foot by their unworthy children. They feared not to stand up against kings and nobles, and parlitnent and people. Better did they account it, that their lonely bark should sweep the wide sea in freedom—happier were they, when their sail s-velled to the storm of winter, than to be slaves in palaces of ease. Sweeter to them was the music of the gale, that shrieked in their broken cordage, than the voice at home that said "submit, and you shall have rest:" And when they reached this Wild shore, and built their al tar, and knelt upon the frozen snow and ?flinty rock to worship they built that altar to freedom, to individual freedom, to free dom of opinion; and their noble prayer was, that their children might be thus free. Let their sons remember the pray er of their extremity, and the great res quest with their magnanimity has left us. * a w * * I know of but one thing safe in the uni. verse, end that is truth. And I know of but one way to truth for an individual mind, and that is unfettered thought. And I know of but one path for the multitude to truth, and C.at is thought freely ex., pressed. Make of truth itself an altar of slavery, and guard it about with a myste rious shrine ; bind thought as a victim upon it; and let the passions of a preju diced multitude minister fuel—and you sacrifice upon the accursed altar, the hopes of the world lIYAI ENEA L.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as high in rep utation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the U. States, the Canatlas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced wherever it has been found possible to tarry them; and there are but few towns that do not contain some re markable evidences of their good effects. 'The certificates thaa have been presented to the proprietor exceeds twenty thousand upwards of five hundred of which are' from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of thei! merits. 01 ten have the cures performed I . y this medicine been the subject of editorial comment, in various newspapers and jour nals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kind has ever re ceived testunonials of greater value than are attached to this. They are in general use as a family medicine und there are thousands of fami lies who declare they aro never satisfied unless they have a supply always on hand.
