(Jading the extraordinary break between
this place and Hollidaysburg. Nor need
we rest the matter here. The charges of
fraud against Ritner's administration are
still reiterated by this very party, who
are now shaving the poor laboring men' s
accounts to the tone of 10, 15 and perhaps
25 per cent, and unless we are misinfor.
rued, their accounts had been shaved with
the very money of the commonwealth ap
propriated to pay them. This they con
sidered fair business transactions.
The people may think of these things
as they please, but w•e think it high time
that they cease their lies about Ritner, and
take some means to clear themselves of
more gross and more true charges.
One Honest Man•
We commend to the consideration of
our candid neghbor of the "Advocate"
The annexed acknowledgment of a Loco
-Foes Editor. He will dive see a reflec
tion which will stand out in bull relief ,
l•froincconduct like his own. Our neigh.
'bur has in his last week's paper again in_
serted the base and malicious falsehood s
against !vriaTrison, notwithstanding the
clearest' passible 'proof has been aduced
to show One *wickedness of his course.
Let him go on. It only excites the more
honest to come out from among them.
The little extract below is front the
eenboio Reptililican, a Van Buren pa
per printed in Alabama ; and goes to show
that wherever a paper of that kind is pub
lished by an honest man, these foul cal
ironies can receive no countenance. Eve
ry honest Loco Foco can see what reli•
ance to place on the sayings of those men
oho will repeat, as truth, that %%filch they
know is false. The Republican says:
"The piece which appeared in last
week's Republican, with respect to Gen.
Harrison's voting to sell white men, was
inserted without our knowledge and du
ring our absence. Having seen a letter
of this gentleman, declaring that the sec
tion alluded to was part of a bill for the
punishment of "et initials," and we kept
the matter under advisement, and hail re
-solved not to insert it until further infor
mation. We regret that the piece should
have appeared in the Republican; which
not even the daily violence, ribaldry and
Aland of our opponents, shall tempt us
knowingly to convert into an instrument
of misrepresentation."
Who is The Liar ?
Years ago, when the deeds of braver y
/lone by General W. H. Hari ison were.
fresh in the minds of every lover of his
( auntry; ss lien the malice of party spirit
found no cause to fohninst• its charges
of cowardice against him. Then men of
all pat tiesrej iced in au opportunity to
render justice to that old soldier who had
willingly endured the privatioi s and suf
ferings of a frontier war; to secure peace
and safety to the industrious settlers in'
that far oft' wilderness. "'nen, we say that
men who are now arrayed against him,l
%vete among the loudest in their exclama
tions of praise. Col. It. M. Johnson who
is their V President uttered the follow
ing sentiment on the floor of Congress;
and during all the bitterness of pal ty
strife has never been base enough to re
tract one syllable.
" , Who is Gen. Harr:son ? The son of
one of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence, who spent the greater part
of his large fortune in redeeming the
- pledge he then gave of his ..fortune, life
and sacred honor," to secure the liberties
oi his country.
"Of the career of Gen Harrison I need
not speak—the history of the West is his
histor3. For forty years he has been iden
titled with its interests, perils and its
hopes—Universally beloved in the walks
of peace, and distinguished
. by his ability
in the coun"ils el his country, he has been
yet more illustriously distinguished in the
held.
"During the late war, he was longer in
active agrv,ice than any other general offi
cer; he was perhaps, oftener in action
than any one of them, and never sustained
a defeat.''
Moses Dawson the Editor of a Van Bu
ren I:aper in Ohio, who some years ago
wrote the biography of Harrison, now u
ses the fullowirts language.
" In the work alluded to, I have rep
resented you as a brave and capaiple com
mander, a disinterested patriot, at.:d an
honest matt ; all of which I did 84 do yet
believe you to be, awl I, to the utmost of
my weak ability, defend you a gainst
what I conscientiously believe to be the
foidest.slantlers, and of those counts in
your favor, I have never yet hail reason
to repent. If in my future remarks, then
I may impugn political opiniont, or con
test your judgment on constitutional
questions, I must not be considered as
doubting of the purity of your motives or
the honesty of your intentions."
Notwithstanding these testimonials of
Harrison's bravery and honesty, ninety
sine out of every Imidred of the Loco
Foco Editors are busily engaged in c►rcu_l
l isting all manner of falsehoods against
him. They not only circulate, but th , .y
tell them with that kind ut efrontery
which would seem to say that they really
believed them.
The following beautiful extract is from
one of the most rabid, and we publish it
to show to what an extent party fealty
will carry a man.
(From the Spirit of the Times.)
"Always a COWARD, always a FOE
TO THE PEOPLE, al ways as RA PAC l •
OUS as VERRES, and as 'INFAMOUS as
A RNOLD, we know not whether most to
scorn his imbecility, to hate his principles,
or wonder at his impudent efirontery."
There can only one thing be said about
all this, and that is this; that either John.
son and Dawson are liars, or else the ma
licious pedlars of the charges are. They
may hang on either horn of the dilemma
they choose. Either they are supporting
as their candidate for the Vice Presiden
cy, a man who is a wilful liar, and told
his falsehood publicly on the floor of Con
gress ; or they are themselves the props.
gators of what they know is untrue. Rea
ders who shall have the honor?

Our Legislature
Has at length adjourned, having passed
hut two bills of any importance ; the im.
provement bill and the tax bill, As soon
as we can get copies of the bills, we in
tend giving them to our readers, that they
can see what real benefit these Solon*
have done, since they have been at Har
risburg.
The best thing that they have done
since the commencement of their extra
session is, the introduction into the im
provement bill a section directing the pay
meet of the debts due on the big break ;
and with a provision that the collector of
this port be the disbursing agent of the
State to pay the unsettled accounts. In
the early part of the session, Porter vetoed
a bill which contained a section for the
payment of this money, solely on the
ground that, that section established a
dangerous precedent. Now it would aps
pear, that the Legislature have colic" uded
to give him another chance, that we may'
see whether his sterling integrity will
make him veto it again, or whether he will
admit that lie had better sign the present
bill, dangerous precedent and all, than to
be without money to transport his "rag
barons" along the line of canal ten days
before the election.
lie cannot exactly understand why
some one of the disbursing officers on the
line, would not answer to pay out the
money. Is it their press of business, or a
want of confidence the Legislature have
in their honesty? Suffice it to say ; that
even Mr. Jos. (titer cannot get his ape.
de claws" on the funds.
A LITTLE TOO IiItILLIANT.--"Tl.is
firms the belief we always entertained,
that the friends of Mr. Clay, deeparing of
his success at this time against Mr. Van
Buren, whose administration has been too
brilliant and successful for them to indulge
even a hope of defeating his re•election by
the people, have agreed to defer his chalice
till 1844, and that the old General was
put in nomination fur the purpose above,
mentioned, to keep the opposition togoth•
er until it is deemed politic to bring their'
great captain into the field."--Pennsylva•
man.
It the above paragraph should "get
about," some inquisitive persons might be
disposed to inquire what is meant by the
"too brilliant and successful" adminis
tration of Mr. Van Buren, for these "Oa ,
guy whigs" will ask ugly questions; and
it is much easier to ask questions than to
answer them. That the friends of Mr.
Van Buren inay be ready to answer any
ill-naturtd questions, we 0111 men tioo

Recantalion.
The following recantation is magnani
mously, made by the Editor of the New Y.
Evening Post, a Van Buren paper, which
published the infamous libel, that Gener
al Harrison, while a member of the Legis
lature of„Ohio, voted "to sell Iwo- white
men into slavery ,for debt." It affords
one instance At least of a Van Buren 1N -
itor who has "nerve" enough to confLas
the truth, and who is willing to counter
act
any false impressions which the publi
cation of the bast slander in his journal
may have made, by candidly and honestly
informing the public thtrt the charge a
gainst Gen Harrison was false.
" 1 letter of Gen. 11arrison's has been
lately published, from which it appears,
that in our remarks on the subjcet of this
attempt to introduce white slavery into
the State of Ohio, we did him some unin
tended injustice. The letter is dated Dec
3d 1821, and appears to have been drawn
forth by a newspaper attack upon his
course in the Legislature in relation to
the same law. if e ore glad to see that
according to Harrison's explanatton of
the matter, neither hE, nor the gentlemen
who toted with hint, were in favor of set
ling human beings for civil debts."
A POLITICAL GRAVE YARD.
Our political opponents startle 'at the
evidences of popular feeling against them
and ter the Whig candidate ; and when
they cannot venture to deny the nistent:e
of these evidences, they seek to throw
them into ridicule. The following par
agraph may be taken as a sample :
NLNn ACRES OF PEOPLE.—The higl
are boastiag that there were nine acres of
men at the Tippecanoe convention of
Indiana. A western paper in quires how
many grave yards this included.
" How many grave yards?"': One—
only one " grave yard"— one mighty
cemetery—one vast resting . place for the
dead that fell in the victory which
Harrison achieved. The acres over
which thh living Whigs trod in solemn
resolves to redeem teeir country from
domestic oppression, contained beneath
their surface the foreign foe that had come
armed against our liberties. The a:r above
and around shook with the echoes of the
voices of freeman pledging their lives and
their fortunes for their country's liberty,
while below, the dust teemed with the
smouldering bones of those who dared
invade that freedom.
" Flow malty grave yards'?" One—on'y
one!—but rboic meal tliir'•w"d in one
nighty mass the living pledging them
