ter of the paper may be learned from this' Our course in '3B, was to tell " the
letter, from the very honest, and candid truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
correspondent for that print. the truth." We held it to be our duty,
The "Signal" prefaces the letter by when we saw a candidate for a distin•

ling that which he knows is false, as well but the people of the State did not credit
as every other man in this county. I the tale, else they basely betrayed the
honor of their country.
Does any one imagine that we are an
xious to tell a thrice repeated tale, simply
because we know it to be true? we shall
i not. The portrait of Mr. Porter, as drawn
!by ourself, will stand the test of time,
without changing of colors, or different
lights and shades; and whether we shall
be quiet, depends entirely on the necessis
ties of the case. If Mr. Porter is anxious
to sport the name of the "Iron Gray,"
and wishes us to ride him around the
track again, with a whip and spur, we
may gratify him. If he thinks it will se
cure him a better character than lie now
has, we may give him a brush, even with
out the purse. But as we have become
"obnoxious,"* we presume that Mr. Poi ,

stripes.
As to our looking like a loafer, accounts
to nothing ; bettei to look like one, than

oath stands on the records of a county
court, attached to wicked and damning
falsehood.
The balance of the letter hardly tie
serves a notice, except in one point; and
that is that Banks is to be beaten tremens
clously in this Borough, " for half of the
old federalists will die off with the .gi

of his victory here will be the death of his
opponents, and not an increase of friends.,
We have seen another No. of this print,
and the same correspondent has attite%ed
personally, several of our citizens, who
take no conspicuous part in politics ; and
among other chivalrous, and patriotic
things, has made a disgraceful assault up
on the Lady of James Steel, Esq. than
whom a more amiable and inoffensive fe
male cannot be found, as every one ac
quainted with her will testify; and we
arc constrained to say, that the cause and
its advocates must both be infamous, which
curses the threshold of the domestic cir
cle, and casts insult upon a female. The
people of our county will rebuke the mas-
I ter and the man.
From the Signal.
IlummonoN, May 21, 1841
"The impression that the whip are en
deavoring to make through their papers,
that Banks, the federal candidate, will
beat David R. Porter, in his own county
from 1200 to 1500 votes, is only kr the
purpose of deception, and to keep up ap
pearances. I am no party man, as you
know, and can look upon matters without
prejudice, and as they are ; and from the
nature of my business with the people, I
consider myself a good judge of public,
sentiment in this county, with regard to ,
the gubernatorial question. I can assure
you, upon my honor, that Banks cannot
possibly beat Governor Porter 500 votes,,
and the result will show the truth of my,
assertion. The bank bill, as passed, has ,
done mach to injure the whigs hero, and'
the veto is more popular than the most,
sanguine democrat could have anticipated; '
and the Governor is gaining friends every
day.
"Benedict's paper is pretty cool yet,,
and I judge will continue so, until arum
is made up for him by the leading whig
expectants of office; but, you know, Ben
edict can do nothing here now. His char
acter has become such as to render him
and his paper very obnoxious. He looks
now more like a loqfcr than any thing
else.
"Pap's big son" told me the other day
that they were managing things beautiful
ly in this county, and ihat the eel skinsf
would he applied thick to secure a major
ity for Banks. They know very well
that, by fair means, they would fail to beat
the Governor here. They must cheat
but the democrats will be wide awake for
them, and I have no doubt, will frustrate
every attempt at fraud.
"The democrats will beat them in the
borough tremendously; fin• before the,
election about one half of the old federa
lists will (lie•with the ~ g iraffe,"l and
some with the U. S. Bank fever. One o•
two that held stock in that bank, came
very near going to the old fellow already.
I shall write you again shortly and give
the goings on; and I'll have some funny
things to tell.
"Yours &c."

thank notes.
IDelerium tremens.
Now mark how much candor, and how
mach honor, this worthy has to risk. "I
can assure you upon my honor, that Bunks
cannot possibly beat Governor Porter 500
votes." Only think, his honor! What a
tremendous stake ! what a guarantee for
veracity! You might as well put the
Governor's character into the bargain, and
we will then put up the "louse's hide and
tallow" against both, provided you will
post the difference.
'Use Bank Bill is unpopular, and the
veto popular! Whew! and david r.
ter is gaining hiends every day! Indeed!
was it the veto which secured this augmen
tation of strength?—or was It his previous
pardon of his pimps?—or was it the par-

Benedict's paper is to keep cool, unless
there is a purse raised, eh! But he can
do no good here now, eh! Ile looks so
much like a loafer. Well, well, this is
all very smart.
We can tell the worthy that we un
derstand our business full as well as
he does ; and whenever we think it im

'man, or any set of men, what we know to

ing of this word.
The Revenue Bill.
There is an attempt now making by
most of the Loco Foco papers,. to satisfy
the people that the bills created by this
law, arc unconstitutional. The opinions
of counsel learned in the law have so de - '
cided, and they begin to attach still more
credit to Governor Porter's veto. Is it
not extraordinary that, that which appears
so plain now to hundreds of the faithful,
should have been overlooked in the veto?
The veto of the bill by Porter never makes
its unconstitutionality one of the objet•
tions, neither have the committee of "the
party" enumerated that as an objection;
and yet many pretend to say it is uncon
stitutional. What consummate nonsense!
I'he Constitution of the U. S. says "no
Slate shaii tio 4 uC bills of credit," and on
this have the " Philadelphia Lawyers"
based their argument. We should like
to see by what kind of !Locus rams they
come to the conclusion.
“The . Partl.”
The party which claims to be all the
Democracy, have again, through the cen
tral committee, commenced their urgent
calls upon the faithful, to be up and doing;
tnd have at the same time furnished them
with the proper isle to tell about the "old
monster," mixed up with a little of the
buck shot war. Yet is it not a little
strange that they cannot explain away
the conduct of Governor Porter, in the
vetoing of the relief bill, and his subse
quent conduct? Is it not a little strange,
we say?
Mr. Porter pretended to be opposed to
the bill, and the committee try to give
credence to that pretention, when there is
not a man of common observation, who
does not feel convinced that that bilt be-'
came a law entirely through his agency.
What a hollow hearted scheme to decieve
those that are ignorant. The party need
not hope to work wonders in our county,
with such "gold leaf and gilding" put on
Mr. Porter's true character.
We should like to know whether the'
evidence of a debt is a "bill of creclii."--
If so, the script for State stock are bills
of credit. These bills are only eviden.
ces of debt, contracted by act of assembly
and are not issued by the State at all.—
The Banks issue them, and have them
secured to the people by a guarantee that,
they can demand and receive state stock
for them. You cannot puzzle a Philadel
phia lawyer; is an old story. We arc
certain it never puzzles some to make
politicians form such an opinion as is
needed.
Funny! Werry:
"To reform our Banking irEitiiutions,
seemed to be an important measure. This
has been twice recommended by Gover
nor Porter in his annual messages. But
has been disregarded. or it brought for..
ward defeated, by the action of the fede
ral party."
Dem. Address.
Now is not this a little funny? Here
is a central committee issuing to the
world what they know is not true. They
know it, and every editor in their party
knows it. We do not pretend to say that
such recommendations were not made,
but as to who defeated the favorite scheme
of reform.
It is well known that the darling pro - -
ject of reform was based upon the princi
ple that stockholders should be liable.—
One, and only one such bank bill ever
passed the Legislature of Pennsylvania
and that one was vetoed by David 11. Por
ter. Vas that action of the Federal par
ty, according to your vocabulary 7
There has been but one other bill passed
on the subject of reforming the banking
institutions, and that one was vetoed by
Porter, and he plainly declares in that
veto, that one of his reasons for;vetoing it
was, that he was satisfied that the banks
would not like it, or something to that ef
fect; and now these central committee
men would still tickle the cars of the peo.
ple with the reform humbug.
Mysterious!
About three weeks since, there came to
our town, a young man by the name of
Kendig, a journeyman shoemaker, and
put up at the tavern of Mr. Horrell. Af
ter remaining a day or two, he suddenly
was missing, leaving at the tavern his va
lise and clothing; since which time no
trace can be obtained of his whereabouts.
No little excitement has been caused in
our hitherto quiet town; tears being en.
tertained that he has met art untimely end.
There has been no little search by our cit
izens. His friends from Franklin county
have been here, and every exertion made
to obtain information of hint— as yet, how
ever, fruitless.
We hope our friends o I the press, or the
young man himself, should he see this will
inform us, should it pi ove, as we hope it
may, that he is employed at his trade, and
alive and well.
