No Specie Yet I There is not an individual in our coun ty, 'who has brains enough to come in alien it rains, that cannot recollect the constant and unceasing abuse and cen sure which was bestowed upon Joseph llitner in l8:37, because he did not com pel the Banks to resume. Every Loco Fuca locating, and all their papers were tilled with denunciations against him for neglect of duty—violution or Isis oath— and being Bank bought. lie was then Governor of Pennsylvania. How is it now 1 David R. Porter, 'our own Da vid,' who, at that time, was fulminating all manner of falsehoods against the then Governor, is at the head of the Govern ment! 'ihe Banks suspended specie pay ment last October, and what is still worse they stay suspended. Y, et what has he or his party dune to compel the Banks to resume ? Nothing l less than nothing. When the Legislature met in January, you could hear the Loco Foco thunder rumbling in every quarter against the un-, holy Banks, 'Duwn with the Banks,' `Take away thar forfeited charters' was heard on every tongue. All was to be regulated, restricted and fixed to a nicety. Their promises, like those of the Banks, were made to be broken. In tact they have suspended their operations against the Banks. 1 54 9. 20 2 79. 2 86 2 77 297 2 86 2 86 2 01 2 &O 9. 36 2 86 84 13 1 SG 44 09 Soon after the meeting of the Legisla ture, the wise law givers at Harrisburg , in the lower house passed a law compel ling the Banks to resume. It was sent to the Senate, and while sleeping on or un der the table, the 'extraordinary docu ment' of our Injured Innocent, knocked the Loco Focos into a three cocked hat. Some declared that they knew they were doing what would ruin the State, but their NERVES WERE WEAK, and would prefer letting the State go to the tl-1, than desert the party. Others 'wheel'il about and turned about' and de. dared their willingness to do whatever the 'lron Gray' told them. At any rate ,among them, they made it clearly appear, l'hat they had both knaves and fools, who were willing to 'die dog;' and further, I they suceseded in spending some weeks of the peoples' time; and a goodly sum of • ther money, undoing what they had done.! Once mole they are trying to bring up the rank and file to pass another resump tion Bill. 1 t occupied weeks in the Sen• ate, and finally passed that hotly. It is now in the lower house, and every day is spent in fighting for and agaii.st it; and as yet nothing has been done which gives. an indication of what will be:its final late. Of one thing the people nay be assured that they will find something to talk about u*til they think they have drawn as touch from the people as they will stand. Hut let us go back CI our text. We have no specie yet, notwithstanding that same honest people-loving party that abu sed Ritner so much, have had the power ever since the rascally Danks suspended. Why will not some of those noisy Jaco tins tell us why their party does nit bring them up to the rack, Do tell you' I neighbors all about it. Explain to them, what made Ritner such aknaye, and what act of hone t Davy's life entitles him to ih..t distinction—don't misunderstand us, we are willing to give the course it Par ter all manner of credit. But as for him self, we have lung ago proved that he was no Getter than he Omni,' he. ate good act in his life wili not [cake him a saint. 'Politics For Working Filen We have seen considerable discussion ,going the rounds of the papers, relative to Senator Buchannan's saying in the Uni ted States Senate, that the wages of the ( poor laboring man must be reduced. IV, hdid not think that there was a wealthy knave, alive, in our country, that hail the i'ardiliood to utter so infamous a preposi tion. Aye! reduce his wages but not re duce his debts. That may be good doc , trine for the rich but it will make Slaves of the poor. We have not yet been able to see the speech, but when we do, we promise to give some of the laboring men of our county a chance to know what kind o politics these Van Buren nabobs wish t o establish. Retrenchment & Reforin, Adatn's administration was called prof ligirte in the extre tie. His extravagance it was said, would rum the nation. The following table illu.ttrates in a few words what has been the c aracter of the reform I which has followed I lhe admini,tration of Johr, Q. Adams. Adams was President four years; and the expenses of Gave: nment during that time amounted to 850,301,911. or an av ' crags of 812,574,477. .Jackson was President eight years and the total amount of expenses $145,792,785, or an average of $18,224,092, per year. Mar tin Van Buren has bean President for three years, and has scattered among It's profligate and venal parasites 8111,403 , 955, or an average of $37,135,151 per year, exclusive of the millions plunder ed by:the Swartwouts Prices; lis in,r ty arc called the retrenchment & reform party. Old •robias Watkins was put in prison and told that he must rot there, because he was a defaulter for three thortswal dol lars. This was when Jackson first came in power. Since that, Swartwout and Price have stolen three millions of dollars —and the same party have never attemp ted to imprison them. Does nut this look like retrenchment. fle ask the hottest yeomanry of our county, if they cannot understand what all this means? Do you not see that the party ask your support, that they ma}• 1 1 steal your money. In Congress, a resolution was offered requireing the committee on the Jersey e lection, to report 'the number of votes re ceived by each candidate; a motion was made to insert the word 'lawful, before votes. Every member in the hoose be. longing to the Loco Foco party, voted a• gainst the insertion of tho word. Is not this some evidence that they are in favor (inland, perjury, and bribery at elections. W e are sorry to see so many of their par ty in favor of perjury. The following question is for farmers to answer. Who receives the most bens. fit from the Sub Treasury system of Van Buren. The President with his $25,000 silver dollars fur a sallary, or the farme► with 40 or 50 cents a bushel for his wheat? ? Let the farmer s answer and vote accor dingly. EDITORIAL SUMMARY AbGut some of the 'iliggins' about N. Orleans, an old vault was discovered, and in the vault was found that which was pronounced a golden crucifix, weighing 2811:s., and forthwith proclaimed by the press,as some of the valuables of • the Jes uits, who occupied the ground many year s ago. The 'Picayune,' however, says the nest day that the golden ervulix turns out to be a. braou fire dog; but it did weigh 28 rounds.

The draft M McFarlane alleges she received in a let from Mr. Maflit, but the writing does appear to be his, though a close imitat of it. . . Shortly after the receipt of the letl the draft in yestion was handed by Al McFarlane to a Dr. liatrkige, with a quest that he would present it to the ho of Price, Johnson & Co., for accepter He returned to Mrs. McFarlane's r' nence, and placed the draft upon the n telspiece, observing that it had been cepted.
