"Make room for Posterity: ,
The editor of the Baltimore Clipper. in
reply to a correspondent using the signa.
tore of "Posterity," says, "we make roam
fur Posterity."
Well, just what our brother does, has
been done before from time immemorial.
Cain wandered to "make room (or pos.
terity." Israel sojourned in the desert
and possessed Canaan, to "make room for
posterity." .iEneas the pious wandered
into Italy to "make room for posterity."
Penn gathered the people of his faith to
gether, and sat peaceably down on the
banks of the Delaware, to "make room
for posterity." Men are elbowed from
cities, and located in praries, for that pur
pose. "The pour Indian," who had sat
down quietly in his wigwam to smoke
the pipe of peace, and see his semi civili•
zation prosper around him—he, too, is
admonished that the whites need his land
to "make room for their posterity." He
goes reluctantly to the distant west, half
pleased with the idea of hunting grounds
that will afford "room for his posterity."
The posterity of the Indian!!—poor, Ws
nitig, tapering cone--its bleed base the
while soil of the new world, its point lost
in some peninsula that fades away into
the Pacific. The deep foundations which
our aged men are laying fur habitations
yet to rise, and the finished saloons and
ornamented halls—what are these but
"room fur posterity I"
}Ye followed, only a few days since,
into a richly ornamented burying ground,
the body of one, who, for years, had filled
a large space in the public eye; and when
they had lowered into the narrow resting
and decayed place the coffin of the great
man, and covered it partially with earth,
our procession, turning to pass out, met
another following a young maiden to her
last earthly home. As we passed the
mourning throng, marshalled into a fune
ral train, one whom we long known
shook his head in mournful recognition,
and seemed to say of our errands thither:
"we have come to 'make room for 'poster
ity. "
"Room at thy hearth, 0 mother," said
one of the sweetest poets of our time, as
he started, full of filial affection, to place
his new bride in a daughter's position.—
..Room at thy hearth." Ile came, and
found ample room. The beloved one, the
apostrophised mother, had passed away to
"make room for her posterity."
All of us are crowding onward—all are
passing away to "make room for our pos.
terity." We are to be pressed close, like
the gathered herbage, so that the whole
'hervest of our six thousand years will
seem to occupy less space than the single
generation that constitutes their poster!.
ty. Below the sod, we lie still and cote•
pact ; the true equality of flesh and blood
is understood and illustrated there, while
above, ample space is demanded, and
acres are required for a single living --
The true democracy is in the grave:--
"there the rich and poor lie down togeth•
er," that they may "make room for their
posterity."
Even we,Who write, and moralize as we
pass along, look back at the troop that
demand our place, and feel too that we
have the duty to perform and the debt to
pay, and gathering up our mantle with
decaying energies, we hope there is room
for us where there are "many mansions,"
and in that hope we prepare, like our
professional brother, to "make room for
posterity."—U. S. Gazette.

THE GRANARY.
BY REV. A. C. THOMAS.
"Whoso readeth, let him understand."
"Jonathan Homespun, having purcha
sed an extensive farm, and provided him
self with every thing requisite to prospe•
rous husbandry, proposes to furnish sub
scribers with one quart of wheat weekly,
for one year, at the low price of one dol
lar and fifty cents, in advance; two dol
lars at the end of six months; two dollars
and fifty cents if not paid till the close of
the year.
"The facilities encircled by the govern
ment, for the transportation of wheat to
every section of the Union and adjacent
provinces, are such as must prove satis
factory to every subscriber; and the pro
prietor of the Granary assures all who
may patronize him, that he will exert
himself to supply an article of the best
quality. N. B. Agents will be allowed a
generous per centage. Address [post
paid] proprietor of the Granary, Hope
ville."
Such was the prospectus issued by my
friend Mr. Homespun. Feeling a lively
interest in his welfare, I visited his farm,
although it was a long journey from my
home, and was pleased to find every thing
in nice order. He informed me that he
had contracted a large debt in the pur
chase of .the premises, stock and imple
ments of husbandry, but that he had no
doubt of his ability to discharge every ob
ligation in a few years. He stated that
he had already received many hundred
subscribers, and that in four or five weeks
he would commence the delivery of the,
wheat according to his proposals.
The scheme appeared plausible; and
my friend was so confident of his su9esa,
prosperity. I entereW my name as a sub
scriber, and when I left him he was pre
paring many thousand quart sacks.
Every week, for the space of two years,
I received my quart of wheat, and con
cluded from its excellent quality and
prompt delivery, that every thing was
prosperous with Jonathan Homespun and,
his farm. So I gave myself no concern
about my indebtedness to him—for said
I, "to a farmer so extensively patronized
as he is, the small pittance of two years
arrearages would be but as the drop of
the bucket." It is true, there was occa'
lsionally printed on the sacks a general
notice to delinquents—but I never sus •
petted that this was intended fur his
friends.
The notices, however, became more fre
quent; and having more leisure, conclu
ded I would visit my friend the proprietor
of the Granary. lie greeted me cordially
—but I saw mat there had been trouble
He was evidently worn with toil and an
xiety; and in the conversation of the
evening he entered into particulars.
" Here I have been laboring day and
almost night for two years; and I am'
more in debt now than when I began.
My creditors are pressing for payment;
lam conscious of inability to meet their
demands, and can perceive no result but
bankruptcy and ruin."
" But have you not a large Hat of sub
scribers?" said I.
" Yes a very large list ;" was the reply,
"but too many of them like you !"
is Me l" I quickly rejoined an amaze
ment, "too many like me I" _
' "Pardon me," said my friend in al
melancholy tone—" pardon me, for op•'
pression will even make a wise man mad.
You had a quart of wheat weekly for two
years—and I have not had a cent of pay
ment,--I have a large list of the same
kind of patrons scattered hells and there
over thousands of miles. If they would
pay me the rifles they severally owe me,,
1 should be directly freed from embar
rassment, and go on my way rejoicing.
But they reason as you reasoned; and a
mong you, I am brought to the door of
poverty and ruin.
felt the full force of the rebuke, and
paying arrearagcs at the increased price
named in the prospectus, and also a year
iu advance, 1 shortly bade adieu to the
worthy and wronged farmer, resolvin. e to
do every thing in my power to repair the in•
jury which had accrued from delinquency.
0 ye patrons of Jonathan Homespun!—
wherever ye are, or whoever you are l ye
who have received and eaten the wheat
from his Granary, without making
. pay.
ment Ye are guilty of grievious sin of
commission. Wherefore repent. Pay
the farmer what you owe him. Uncle
Sam's teamsters bring you the little sack
of grain every week, and Uncle Sam's
teamsters wilt carry the money safely to
Jonathan Homespun.
THE MORMONS,
An officer of one of the steamboats that
lately arrived at our wharf from above, in•
form; us that the Governor of Illinois has,
bona fide; become a Mormon. There has
been seven hundred Mormons, from New
York and England, who had lately made
a "descent" upon Nauvoo, and the circum
Jacent regions, by way of making settle-
ment there. This colony was beheld with
alarm by many of the dispassionate i►►habi
tants in that part of the State. Both the
American and English emigrants of that
persuasion, had come there at least as
well armed and accoutred for the fight,
as for agriculture; not one male among
them knew how to use fire arn►s, but hag
his rifle, his pistol, and many others of
them their shicker nee. IV ith the colony

these deluded young woman, at the sight
of this paradise, gave expre'sions to her
disappointment that bordered upon de

from the representation, and so complete,
so 'hopeless as to deliverance, was her

TRIBUTE TO GEA. Han-
MEETING OF PENNSYLVANIANS.
We give below the proceedings of
meeting ofunidlicial citizens of Pennsyl
vania held at the city of Washington on
Saturday evening last. They breathe
the true spirit of a nation's grateful re
membrance, and offer a striking contrast
to the contracted views of our national
legislature. But having in another col
umn given our views on the subject, we
simply transfei tne proceedings from the
National Intelligeucer—Wl.
MEETING OF PENNSYLVANIANS
IN THE CITY OF WASHiNC TON.
A call having been made through the
National Intelligencer of Saturday for a
meeting on that evening of the citizens
l of Pennsylvania then in Washington, a
tare portion of the citizens of that com
monwealth assembled at the Indian Queen
Hotel (Brown's) to take into considera

LIAM HENRY HARRISON.
The meeting was organized by the ap

of Judge J. S. MORRISON.
of Bedford President, DAVID PMILLIPS,
of Mercer, and JACOB CaEsswzra., of
Huntingdon, as Vice Presidents, Theo.
Fenn, of Harrisburg, and James B. Low.
rey, of Erie, as Secretaries.
Mr. Smtvuxs opened the meeting in
a brief but eloquent address, at the con
clusion of which he offered the following
preamble and resolutions; which, after
some remorks from Mr. Steevens and oth
ers, were unanimously adopted, and order
ed to be published, viz:
Whereas, Congress, in the exercise of a
very prudent economy, proposes on be
'eal of this great Republic r:ri app ropria
don from her Treasury, in aid of the wid
'ow of our late beloved Chief Magistrate,
lid' a sum of money too small to satisfy
I the expectations and the wishes of the.
Ineople of Pennsylvania—too small in our
I judgment to signalize the merit of the il
lustrious dead, or to be worthy of the pow
erful and rich donor, upon whom he had
bestowed such great and manifold bles
sing: and whereas even that small sum has
been resisted by party rancor, and the oc
casion seized upon, while the nation was
:et weeping at the grave of her departed
father, to insult his memory, and wound
the feelings of his aged tvidow and sur
viving relatives: and whereas it becomes

from retirement to a situation in which he.
sacrificed his life, to show by some signal,
act, that her attachment to him was not,
a fitful mercenary impulse of

I:hem good was buried in the tomb. there-
Resolved, That it be recommended to
the citizens of Penns) lvania to r''sePby l
voluntary contribution such sum as may
do honor to their own hearts, and forever
'vindicate the memory of the immortal
HARRISON from the malignity which has:
not been able to stop its hut pursuit at the
i portals of the grave. _
Resolved, That no inthvicloal be per.

Resolved, That in order to ensure the
full execution of the above recomnienda.
tion, and to secure to every township in
,the commonwealth the enviable opportu•
nity of contributing its
. proportion, the
Democratic State Committee be reques•
ted to take charge of the whole subject,
and through county and township com
mittees take care that Pennsylvania bc
not disgraced in the face of the nation.
Resolved, That the said committees
be requested tdhave the names of all car:

tribut a ors recorded a fair legible hand in e
well-bound honk, beginning with the cour
ties in alphabetical order; but that tht
sums subscribed by each be not carried
out, so that all may stand upon terms of
perfect equality in point of honor.
Resolved, That if females should in.
silt upon contributing, as is most probable
their names shall be inscribed in like man

bound.
Resolved, That one copy of each of
said books shall be placed in the State Li

can make it appear that three of the ofk- shall be entered on their Journals, with
leers on the "Big Break" hays nineteen the yens and nays taken thereon, and the
thousand dollars of public money, when
Gov. Porter has twice or thrice refused
to pay the Banks, from which that money
vas borrowed? To us, it seems a strange
argument, that that money is public mo
ney, by men who contend that the State
shall not pay the Banks from whom the
money was loaned.
We observe that the Governor has
signed a bill to have these "balances"
paid into the State Trea,urer. Now,
would it not have looked much more can-'
did and honest if the Governor had re.,
toed this bill, and said, "I do not recog- 1
nise the right of the State to this money
the State never borrowed it—and I have'
shown the legislature on more than one
( occasion that they will never pay it while
I am Governor."
One question more. Do you not know ,
that the statement you have published is
absolutely untrue? Or, would it be
true for us to charge on one of your offi
cers the retention of the public money.
simply because his vouchers for the ex
penditures had not been called for ?
The Standard" attempts to cast cen•
,sure upon the whole anti-masonic party in
this county, because some of them have
not exactly come up to their notions of
honor; or that because we have some in
our ranks whom they pronounce dishon
est. That consequently all are of the
same character, and do not deserve the
confidence of the people.
Wu do not admit of the justice of the
argument, but as they do, we shall return
the same kind of argument to them.
We ask is it honest, or is it any more
honest, for a man to run in debt—take the
benefit—and twenty years afterward,
when he becomes wealthy, to plead the
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, on the
poor creditor? Is the party who have
such men among them, censurable for
such legal villany? Is that party deser
ving of being ranked as horse thieves, be.
cause there is a horse thief among them?
•,r does the previous pardon of the thief
nq the Governor, consecrate the crime?
These are questions equally as applicable,'
is the remarks of the Standard, and clear.
ly as just. We hope the "Standard"
will answer them.
Another manifesto has been issued by
the Loco Foco State Committee, making
the fourth address to their faithful adhe
rents. This one is deserving of peculiar
notice; and should not some of those in
terested notice this infamous production,
at length we shall attempt it ourself. A
considerable portion of it, is a defence pf
Pot ter's veto of api ivate bill. We do not
know that we ever saw a case, where
there was so much malevolence manifes
ted in an address, issued from the great
hends of a great party, as they would like ,
to have it understood.
Tribute to Harrison.
Our readers will find in this week's pa
per, the proceedings of a meeting held by
the citizens of Pennsylvania, in the city
of Washington, to devise some means to
render that tribute to the departed hero,
which his deeds, and his virtues, so richly
merit. 'Ye hope every man, of one spark
of patriotism, will unite to carry out the
objects suggested by that meeting. We,
of Pennsylvania were the first to seek in l
the quiet shades of private life, the limo
and statesman; and let us be the first to
show that it was the character of the pa
triot, soldier, and sage, that we wished to
honor, and that we did not proffer our as
sistance to elevate him for the paltry re
wards of place and power.
Amendment to the Constitu
lion.
Our rradere will find , in our paper of
today, the proposed amendment to the!
Constitution. That no governor can be
elected for more than one term.
We are glad to see this. The ONE
TERM PRINCIPLE, is one that we
have ever believed to be an important one.
It takes from the Governor the wish to
have nothing done but what shall be cal
culated to secure his re.eiecthm.
The following is the tenth section of the
constitution referred to, and we publish
it, that our readers may know what steps
are necessary to be taken, to secure the
success of the amendment.
ARTICLE X
Secetary of the Commonwealth shall
cause the same to be published three
months before the next election, in at least
one newspaper in every county in which a
newspaper shall be published, and it in the
Legislature next afterwards chosen, such
proposed amendment or amendments shall
be agreed to by a majority of the meins
hers elected to each House, the Secretary
'of the Commonwealth shalt cause the
same again:to be published in manner
aforesaid, and such proposed amendment
or amendments shall be submitted to the
people in such manner and at such time,
'at least three months after being so agreed
to by the two Houses as the Legislature
'shall prescribe; and if the people shall ap-
I prove and ratify such amendment or a
mend men ts, by a majority of the qualified
votes of this State voting thereon, such a.
'mendment or amendments shall become
a part of the Constitution, but no amend
ment or amendments shall be submitted
to the peoole oftener than once in five
years. Provided, that if more than one
lamendmeat be subrn:tted, they shall be
'submitted in such a manner and form,
that the people may vote for or against
each amendment separately and distinct.

Poor House Meting.
Our readers will notice in to-days pa.
per, the proceedings of a meeting, called
for the purpose of making inquiry into
the advantages, or disadvantages, of coun
ty poor houses.
We are rejoiced to see this. The in
formation intended to be obtained, is of
importance to every citizen ; and we
cannot eon cleve how any one can possibly
have any objections to having it presen
ted to our citizens. Upon the result of
'those inquiries, the question may, and
probably will, arise, as to the necessity of
such an institution in this county; and
with that information before the people,
they will know how to act. When it is
ascertained what are the expenses of now
keeping the poor in this county, and what
in other counties where they have more or
even less poor to provide for than our
own, the question will be fairly before the
people; and we doubt very much, if the
facts prove that with a poor house our
poor taxes will be lightened, whether the
great mass of our people will not at once
say, let us have a poor house! Should the
contrary be the case, the reverse will be
their opinion.
Congress,
Since the commencement of the extr a
Session, we have not seen any thing whiel
has been done for the interests of the peo
ple. The whole time of the lower hiuse,
appears to be spent in wrangling, dispu
ting, and manccuvres to prolong the ses
sion.
The Loco Focus, headed by Tory Inger
soll, aie using every exertion to bring
that body into disgrace. As the major
ity are opposed to them, they think
to make political capital out of it. We
think that our friends will soon agree to
act in concert; and if no other remedy will
do, apply the old gag engine, the Locos
used so freely themselves—the pm - vistas
question. It is nearly time that some
thing should be done. Are our friends to
be made the play thing of political out
tawsl We trust not. When they shall
do any thing, we will make our readers
acquainted with their labors.

WAsHINGTON, June 23, 1841
Mr. BENEDICT.—You may inForm the
friends oft eform and equal rights, in your
aunty, that they must exercise a little pa
tience. Mr. Van Buren told us, once,
that we expected too much from our ru
lers; and, if ever there was a time when
`t was difficult to rule, and legislate, it is
now. A party has just gone out of pow
er, having, during its administration, had
every facility, which a country of bound
less resources and a magnanimous, and
indulgent people could afford to ensure
prosperity and stability in the Govern
ment, and national and individual wealth,
and to heighten the prospect of a great
and permanent republic. But soon as
Ithe sovereign people gave them a repri
mand for their prodigality and unfaithful.
nese, that same party, through their ex
iponents in Congress, declare open war
upon
,the people's friends, by attacking
every measure which is advanced, wheth
er of general or local :tweeter. They
'say they are not responsible to the peo
ple for the acts or expenses of the Extra
Sessioe—that it is a measure of Mr.
Clay's, and that every obstacle, as a mat
ter of course, must be thrown in the way.
And, by taking advantage of local jealon
vies, and factiojs influences which exist
to some degree, at all tunes in every par
ty, particularly in a party just rising in
to power, lying under obligation to the
people for its elevation, which means
nothing more than the people making an
attempt to remedy the evils produced by
corrupt leaders, by taking advantages of
them, of some unsettled feelings in the
ranks of the people's representatives, the
champions of absolute power—of gold
humbuggery, and subtreasury memory,
have thus far succeeded in thwarting ev
ery movement in the lower house, and
killing time in the senate. But the peo
ple are safe in the hands of their repre
sentatives. Things will come right—the
democracy will soon cast oft' the weight
of Loco ultraism, which, inculbus like, has
heretofore, and up to this hour, been moth
ering the voice of the people.
This and every succeeding day, will
bring to every intelligent mind, the hope
that help is at hand.
