BROTHERLINE, of ITollitlaysburg iIbEROLY. JOHN G. MILES, of Huntingdon. SANFORD S. DE WEY, of Birmingham TREASURER, ANDREW H. HIRST, of Huntingdon, CORONER JAMES HUDSON, of Habiin township. COMMISSIONER. ROBERT MOORE, of Huntingdon. AUDITOR, ALEXANDER sTirr, of Alexandria 0::7-The Rev. J. B. PINNEY, Bs-Gover nor of Liberia, will deliver a Lecture on the condition of Africa, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, on Thursday evening, the 2d inst. Porter's Anti-Bankism. We will illustrate the anti-Bank char acter of the present Executive a little tar ther, in order that his anxious and inqui ring friends can learn how he is getting along. It will be remembered that the "Reve nue Bill," which finally became a law, through the influence, but without the sig• nature, of Mr. Porter, allowed every' Bank in the State, if they pleased, to ac cept its provisions, to issue the small notes there allowed ; but yet it was pro vided that they must do so within 40 days, or they would remain subject to the se vere restrictions of the law of 1839-41), generally known here as Bell's Bill. Well, now, only about one !tailor there abouts of the Banks of this State have ac cepted the provisions of this new law.— Notwithstanding it has been bandied around, and hooted and howled at, as a Bank measure, still the Banks seem un willing to step into it, and of course the balance are subject to previous laws. The law of 1839-40, provides that no Bank shall, after the 15th January, 1841,, refuse to redeem its notes in specie. II it does, ''its charter shall, for any such ,refusal, be declared fojetted, as herein provided." Now this provides that in ten days, the charters of all banks, that are bound by its provisions, may be declared forfeited, should they refuse to redeen• their notes with gold or silver. Only about one half of the banks of thin State, as we said before, have compile.' with the requirements of the late '..7eve nue Bill," and they are subject to this ten day law. Yet they have now lived on for mouths--they have not accepted th. "Revenue Bill" within 40 days—nor has David R. Porter, (who is sworn to see that the laws are faithfully executed,) enfors ced the provisions of those laws, to which the non accepting arc now liable, against them;--and this is called anti-Bankistn: Now we should like to see any of his loudest, and most fanatic supporters ex plain how it is that the great anti-Bank Governor does not enforce the law against these delinquent hanks. Can you answer us, Mr. Watchman? Some of the Loco Focos pretend to think that our ticket will not be elected this year. how very smart, and how very honest these Loco Focos have be. come lately. They have almost all of them left off their loafing habits ; and come out "workingmen" and are now astonishing the natives by their zeal in the cause of the producers. This is coming it a little to strong. Tray was a very honest dog, but he gut terribly used up by mixing in bail compa ny, and we shall be nu little astonished if our friends the workingmen coull not learn some wholesome advice in the fable of poor Tray. They will find ere they are done, that there are those anxious, or apparently so, for their success who have no feeling in common with them, who as. sociate and talk with and for them, fur no other purpose but to advance their own j private and political ends. A Ditrerence! Who Tells the truth. The state committee, of David R. Por- 1 ter, have kept up their addressing them party, until they have got as far as num ber eleven. In then• last, they make use of the following language, relative to the Bill passed to regulate the currency, by our Legislature, in March—the first Bank Bill that was passed. It was evidently designed, solely and entirely for the bene fit of lice Bunko in tl►e city." This Bill, thus alluded too, Mr. Porter Vetoed, and in that veto, he said pretty plainly that he had learned, from sources to be relied on, that but few it any of Ow Banks of tins comm3nweath, would ac, cept its provisions. Our readers must all recollect it. Here then is this state committee writ- 1 ing, and getting published all over the state, an article which is intended to prove, how exclusively Mr. Porter is an anti Bank man. He an anti Bank man Indeed I In the very message vetoing this Bill, one of his strongest objections was that the Banks did not like, nor would not accept the priviliges, or restrictions therein. Now this committe proclaim that the Bill was passed, " solely for the benefit of the city Banks." Vs ho ever thought of such effrontery They pro. imunce Porter's Message a falsehood in• directly, and yet they write it to benefit Mr. Porter, and to gull the people. We really are astonished at our neig,ll - of the " Watchman" for admitting such an article in his paper, for two rea sons. First because he being in Harris burg at the time, Anew that the impres sion there among all parties was that, not, one bank in the state would accept tht Bit!, and lie knows too that the Bill as passed and Vetoed, was a virtual resump- tion of specie payments and consequent ly, was nut passed to benefit any Banks, and so said and so thought Mr. Porter, knowing this, as we feel satisfied you do, we cannot but wonder that you would give place, to so vile and direct a false hood, although signed by the best men of the state. Our second reason is, because we certainly should not if we occupied his situation, allow a place for any thing that went so directly to impeach the char acter, for the veracity of the individual, we was supporting fur so high an lattice as Governor, particularly when that which taus affected tate truth of his words, was itself false. Will our friend of the " lf atchman explain► the difference between the Gov ernor and his committee, and tell us who tells the truth. COMMUNICATED. MR. EDITOR: To an uninterested look . er on, the plots, tricks, and turtious cours e of Gov. Purer and his special agents and mends, adopted in this county and at tempted to be carried out with the view of furthering his re-election, could not but be most amusing. As the Governor and his agents and friends well know, he has lot strength enough in this county to have ticket for the county op'nly nominated if his avowed friends, with any prospect ,if its success, their main object is first to divide Guy. Porter 4 s opponents, through 'tie differences of opinion and dissatisfac lion which must always necessarily exist o some extent, where the interests ant: wishes of all our friends cannot be advan eed and secured at any one time; and having thus divided us, then to conquer for themselves. A principal means to effect this, is to be, the creation of A WORKING —FOR—PORTER—PA RTY, under the name and guise of A NVORK ING • MEN'S- PARTY ; into which they hope to ent'ze and entrap all of their opponents who may happen to be more or less dissat isfied with the regular nominations fur our county. 11 , ho was it first broached or brought forward the idea of this WORKING-FOR PORTER TARTY, during the first week of our last court, and alter the nomination of our regular county ticket? Was it not a . most decided friend of Porter's—one of HIS committee for this. county 1 And even he, in all probability, was but used, unwittingly, as the tool and instrument of a snore near and confidential friend of Gov. Porter! Let us see. A relation of this individual, and one of Gov. Porter's Judges residing not very far from Harrisburg, comes to our county about a week before the first week of OW last court. lie goes into the neighbor hood of this individual. Gov• Porter ar rives at Huntingdon at or previous to the commencement of our last court, some. ( what, it is said by some, to the surprise of the counsel for him, in his private suit here, and remaining here daring the first week of our court. The individual an, tie relation, toe Judge, alluded to, ass canoe here the first part of our first cm week, and it is said by some, that thi, Judge privately visited the Governor encl. evening after dark, but not during tin day time. The relation,—this Judge who it ►s believed never worked a day ii ins life, it ►s understood, has for severe , years past, been actively engaged in un successful attempts ►n his own eounty• where HIS party is in the minority, to es ta'alish his so called, WorkingtMen's-Par. iy ; but has never extended his efforts in ihat hire, to any of the counties its which 1119 party is in the majority. Immediatek; after the nomination of our county ticket, the individual alluded to, brings forwent and makes public this plan of A WORKING FOR - PORTER•PARTY ; is the principal agent in getting up their meeting, and the prin cipal mover at it when got up, during oui last court. Son►e of our friends, the op. laments of Gov. Porter, while laboring, under feelings of disappointment and tent purary excitement, are enticed and en. trapped into this meeting when they din not understand and know its secret origin, and source, and the real object fur which it had been gut up. At this meeting it is' resolved that a delegate meeting to nomi• nate a ticket for the county, shall be held at Alexandria on last Friday. A meeting) is hell at Alexandria on last Friday.— Nearly one half of the persons professing to act as delekutes, are made so there, and of such, so made delegates, nearly all, if, not all, are warns friends ol• Porter. Our friends there are pressed, generally un successfully, to go into the meeting and act as delegates. It is understood to, have been said by Porter men there "only let us get a good many of the other party, —(tre d—d anti-masons and accursed whigs.) —into the meeting, and then all things will work nice," or to that effect. , Of the residue who wrre appointed dele gates in some of the townships by small : meetings, some of which were very' slim ' v indeed, and generally composed of Porter men, a very Large proportion, and very much the most active were zealous and staunch Porter men. (I wonder, Mr. Eds, itor, whether the moving spirits of this meeting when they come to publish its) proceedings, will publi-h the names of all) the persons who acted as delegates and m ide motions at this meeting!) Combining all those facts and circum stances together, can any of our friends in this county, knowing Mr. Porter as the people of this county do, fail to trace this WORKING•FOR•PORTER meeting, from its consummation, back through its progress, to its original source, the den or cranium of the Old Fox,—the Governor himself. And let our• friends—the friends of John Banks, who from disappointment of their, wishes, or any oilier cause, have been led away by the syi en songs, and crocodile, sympathies, promises and consolations of, the Porter men, to participate in, or favor, (but for a short time it is hoped,) the pro ceedings of this meeting at Alexandria, mark the prediction. 'Flint the Porter men, generally, will, until after the elec • turn, and on all days, except the day of election, declare themselves, publicly, to be warmly in favor of the persons nomi nated at Alexandria (unless they find out that this plot will not answer their [Jur. pose); but they, with very few exceptions indeed, it any, will not vote for those per sons, with the single exception of the individual there named for 'lreasurer. Want of time prevents me from ex plaining mure fully at present. Mure anon. AN OBSERVER, Prom the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser The Case of Jliss Rogers. The Planet—a peony t aper--of this mar ning tells a strange story about this young I. dy. It asserts that a letter was received this city 3esterilay, from Pittsburg, the wr; ter of which alleges that he had jest seen all conversed with Miss Rogers there, in con, pauy with a Mr. Getchell, to whom she wa supposed to be marri d. 'l'hat she told hi, she had left New York clandestinely. cause her mother urged her to marry a m., she did not like, and hat she was going I an uncle in Illinois. Farther that she left a letter on the table, addressed to li mother, telling her of the course she w. about to take, &c. _ _ The Planet says that Mr. Crommelin, seeing this letter (the one from Pittsbur. set immediately for Illinois; and th Mrs. Rogers denies having found any lett from Mary. This is a strange and improbable storm and there is so much recklessness in some the pipers, about making statements doubtful authority or none at all, nn matt how grave the subject, that we cannot 1,, hesitate in giving to it the least particle , credence. if it were true some of the nth , morning papers would, we think, have h. , some notice of it. We may as well add here that the Taw, has, within the last few days, argued great length in support of the hypothesis tha the oody found in the river was not the bod) of Miss Rogers. We can discover little or 'ao force in its reasonings. he facts on vhh it mainly relies are, Isle floatine of ac body so soon after the tls.l the suppo -,d murder ; as to which tiFattler con- Judes that bodies never rim less than .roan seven to ten days.

Some' two or three years ago, wit in attendance' upon the sager-shop of MrAnderson, Miss' Rogers was abducted, or alwed herself to he abducted, or went into rncealment that it might be believed she h. been abducted, in order to create exciteent and help the fc.le of the goods of hermpinyer. After the smoke of the extra gars sold during the excitement had eared away, the young woman returned good as new. Mr. Proitt. Mr. Proffitt, we seep the report oe the proceedings at ‘Vdiington, has dis tinguished himself at ligth by abuse of the %V hig party. We o not believe that any body will care min about it, though we feel confident that° new honor will result to him from themfortunate abera tion. Mr. P., if we member correctly, commenced a sentencen one of his con gressional speeches, , hen he stood in the Whig ranks, with the remark, "I am a prophet, and the son f a prophet ;" and the prat upon his own tame drew to him Irene wed attention. j As a prophet, havi l g lived among the sons of the prophets, nd enjoyed the ben. efit of that great ached, we shall consid er the honorable gettlemen.—He occu pies the same position that was assumed isy a prophet in the 0441 en time, who was sent front Judah to B thel, to denounce a wicked ruler of Israe. He was chosen to do a certain busigess, and no more. But he paused to eat the bread and water of the other side, looking after the loaves and fishes as a reward for his miss:on. And for this turning aside, he was torn to pieces by a lion. Now may not this Profit, and son of a Prollit,t who was chosen to do a work of good—to denounce a bad administration, and has lett his good works to denounce those whom he was sent to sustain, and turned to do the evil he was sent to re form—may he not find that his course will lead hint it to irremedial ruin I It may do for a Loco-loco to vote wrong, with only the consciousness that he will lie punished in the general eeleat and route of those with whom he does the mis chief. But the man who is elected for a good work, by men of good works, he the chosen servant of correct principles, must, if he turn aside, or tarry by the way 'be torn by a S. Gazette. Our Philadelphia cotemperaries are dis cussing, very wisely, on the spontaneous combustionable qualities of bituminous coal. We know this. for we have long lived among it, and, like the member with lie hogs, have been raised with it. Take i body olgood bituminous coal, large of •mall, and it matters not about the size if the lumps, but it is better to have several ' f them--place under some dried pine icks —then a handful of dry shavings, or old dull dry newspaper, with or without .1 article in it on spontaneous combustion; ul to this apply an ignited Loco Foci), id the whole will take fire and burn iwn, if not watered or put out by sepa iiing the pieces --we have tried it— othracite, we believe, is ignited with a ewer.—Pittsburg Viaiter.

PUBLIC OPINION.--Public opin ion is per haps the only unerring guide from whose decision there is no ap• peal: and was there ever such a nian:fes tation of its approval as there is with Brandreth's Vegetrble Universal Pills?— Step by step has this medicine wormed itself into favor, in spite of envy, deri , im and scorn. Triumphant has been its pro gress to its present sphere of extensive usefulness. It has surmounted obstacles bafure which quackery sinks paralysed, and has gained for itself a reputation which neither physicians nor flippant, sor did, counterfeiting apothecaries can ever injure. They can no more injure the re• putatiOn of Brandreilr's Pills, than they can lay their hands upon the sun. These Pills are known by the experience of thousands, to perfectly cleanse the blood from 1.11 foulness, remove every morbid affection, and renovate weak and enfee bled constitutions to perfect health and vigor. Their acknowledged innocence makes them safe through every period of existence, from infancy to old age. Sold at the Store of WM. STE WART, Huntingdon, Pa. A FARM FOR SALE.
