Extract ore letter to the Editor of the West-Ches ter Register and Examiner, dated HARRISBURG, March 3, 1835. This day,in tlio3 House of Representatives, Mr. SrilvEtis moved that the petitions here tofore presented to that House, asking for . an investigation of Masonry, be referred to .a . special committee, with power to send for portion's and papers. On the Speaker's an nouncing the motion before the House, Mr. farxrvims arose, and amid the assembled `multitude—the hall , being filled to overflow igif-77addressed•himself to the Speaker on the eubject of the motion. I was not in the Chamber at the commencement of his speech, but arrived there in aboUt twenty minutes, as I was , informed, ,after he began; lliitiUNU is certainly a powerful speaker,an ortiter of the highest order, and I have been Old his political opponents, who have 6 4 44 vcr hilt! trequentiy,. that ho would not suf. a comparison with the first of the 1`144:111e: On this oecaSion he exhibited lektoprirlitiary ability, both as u cogent rea candreloqu..iit declaimer.

The champions of the PeOple met the ensangunted order boldly, and unveiled her iniquities end whited hypocrisy; to five hundred people. The hirelings of fee, tion were dumb, they dared not even to the horrid anditevolting rites the pro fane and blasphemous oaths, the'dis&r.jeg depravity and rotten corruption that - The lance of truth and. argument laid open to their view. Mr. Srav,mss' resolution in structing the judiciary committee to bring in a bill prohibiting the administration. of Masonic and Odd Fellows and other extra judicial oaths, was the order of the day, but the House. 'dosed to consider it; thus not withstanding the jealousy with which our State and Pederal,constitutions have guard ed the freedom ofspeech generally and par ticularly the freedom of debate, attempting to apply the gag to one of the most eloquent Statesman that ever graced the Legislative Halls in Pennsylvaniai-but base as was the attempt, the proposed effect was completely baffled. Mr. Stevens immediately_ moved the reference of - the Petitions for an investi. gation of Masonry to a select committee with power to send for persons and papers. This motion brought . the whole subject a gain. before the House. The lobbies, gal leries, seats; and floor on either side of the Speakers throne were literally crowded.— The imagination could not paint a more splendid or aublimesight than was here pre sented to the eye; the amphitheatres of Rome may have displayed more gorgeous and dazzling scenes, but they lost their sublimi ty from the grovelling associations connec ted with them, while the Sublimity of this was augmented by the most magnanimous and holy associations that the human mind is capable of appreciating, the regular rows of heads that rose the one above the other in the galleries were not there to see the gladiator combat with the wild .beasts• of Africa, but to hear eloquence pourtray the danger that. surrounded them from the se cret malicious machinations of Masonry, they were there to hear the supplication of the laws for protection • from the rude and '.heavy hand of Masonic - tyranny; Mr. Ste vens did ample justice to' the cause.of Anti- Masonry; he adverted to the course pursued by the_ majority wherever Anti-Masonry Caine before_them in a severe and indignant manner; he complained of their attempts to prevent discussion on a subject that 80,000 of the Freemen of this: State, considered of vital importance to the preservation of Lib erty; he then took up the charges made in the Preamble to his resolution and said he . . would substantiate them. . He_ then took up the initiatory process from the entered apprentices, to Knight Templars, sad proved from the hyeregly phics of the approved Masonic authors that the rites and penalties as given by seceders were true,.lie gave a brief a succinctaccount of its charities/ be treated, the idea of its being a charitable or benevolent institution with the most caustic sarcasm; "sir," said he, "who ever hea rd et the good Samaritan's striking 'off the head of the peraon on whose welinds he had - poured oil because he reveal ed his benevelence2 .who ever heard of a man's ripping open the bowels, and tearing, out the heart of the friend he had obliged because he published his kindness to the world? No sir, men do not thus,—'tis the I wish to. add, that never have I seen its truth more clearly exemplified,.than it was today in the case of Mr. STEVENS. I have said the House was feted to over ' flowing--the lobby, the gallery, around the fire places, the great aisle that leads from , the bar of the House to the Speaker's chair, • every nook and corner, was literally cram med.; Notwithstanding this press of people, all was good order, and each seemed lean ing fiirward as if to catch the orator's words as they came burning from his lips. He de picted Masonry, with its thousand evils, in its most odious colors. Ho spoke of the impropriety or tho fraternity in attempting to personate the Almighty as he appeared in, and spoke to Moses from, the blinking bush on Mount Horeb, in such a manner as to maker his hearers recoil with horror from the terrible profanity of such blasting rites. Now, lie would arouse your indignation by a recital of the wrongs which society had Aufrered at the hands or this unholy institu tion, then, lie would create a feeling of ay in- ' pathy for the miserable dupes of the hand maid, and anon, he would excite your risi bility by placing the votaries of the order in such a ludicrous position before you, that your disposition to latigh at their follies be came almost irresistible. Ho spoke of the relative positions of the'different parties to Masonry—wished that those who bad acted with Anti• Masons on great national pritici pies, wouliino longer oppose their efforts to break down the institution, and hoped that the Jackson Van Buren party might carry the weight on their own shoulders until it should sink them to the dust; for sink them it would, or any other party that attempted to identify Masonry with its political olds. tone°. He proved his assertions, almost word for word, by the production of Masonic works, from which he read to sustain his several positions. He appealed to members of the fratbrnity, then present, for the truth of what ho uttered,.and dared themlo deny it. He spoke with certainty of the final tri umph of Anti•Masoray over its wily oppo. neat=-that it was irresistible in its progress, wherever light and truth were permitted to enter; and said that,although it might please his Creator to warn him that for his mani fold-transgressions he should never witness this consummation of his hopes, he would, like Moses, before the time of his departure should arrive, climb to the top of Mount Pisgah,however steep and rugged the ascent reom whence he might feast his . • ...• ~. .. - :^ , v of the promised . „ . . , . ) ' 4 .. nn .... . Times, date.. robber that swears his accomplice to seem cy, and murders him if he violates his pro f miss: 'tis the pirate that rescues his coin i rade from merited punishment"—he then rend the rites in the performance of which ! the candidate drinks out of' and otherwise uses a human skull, and !lonian bones—he displayed to the view of all present by hold ing up the Masonic chart the hyeroglyphics representing this horrible scene, and then asked whether these were the first lessons taught by benevolence, "Is it to foster ten derness of heart and a feeling for others woe that these rites are performed," iiiaid he, "no sir, it is to make men desperate; to harden their nerves, to destroy their sympathies and to make them fit instruments for the per formance.of their duties to the order which sometimes consisted in the committing the most diabolical crimes"--fie said that a so rrel society of rubbers had existed in France about twelve years since, the history of which was given by Vidocq, that to conceal I • their murders it was necessary to swear even the women and children to secrecy--that in one instance a young girl evinced su_ph uncontrolable aversion to bloodshed, and such a determination not to take the awful oaths, that preparation became necessary, and how did they prepare her, by makinl, iier carry for a whole day the head of a far. mer they had murdered—she then became one of the most cruel and sanguinary of the band; Ho made an energetic and eloquent appeal to the different parties, to the Anti. Maiionic party he urged perseverance—he said their principles must triumph, or civil .liberty must take her flight from earth— that success as a party would surely be the triumph of their principles, but that, defeat was not their destruction. He adverted to the treachery in New York--by saying that the . Revolution had its Benedict Arnold, and that Anti-Masonry had its Arnolds not far from the scene of his infamy (West Point) but that the revolution was successful,jind Anti-Masonry would be too. I am unable to give even an outline of his remarks, it is but justice to say that these notes "ad carptins" can give little of the power of the originals. Mr. Stevens ... was listened to with the most profound attention by the spectators; a large proportion of whom were delegates to the Masonic Con-. Mr. Bayne followed Mr. Stevens in a. per tinent and ingenious speech. The train o argument pursued by him was essenlially different from that adopted by the others. He took up the subject philosophically, and '—;thout reference to the crimes . • ;6 .6 , 914 immor- that iiJua..- ", :e, and 'gave to its votaries • tit" as to right ow. wrong. Mr. Bayne is Sys well acquainted with tha subjects upon Which he speaks; his manner is easy and fluent— and his good sense always makes an im. pression. Mr. Walker spoke at some length, and went into the subject matter with zeal.— He adverted to the remark that the House would sanction and perpetuate Anti•lVlason ry by passing the resolution offered by Mr. Stevens, it was not the case: the Passage of the resolution would kill Masonry, and then, and not till then, would Anti-Masonry die. He would live and die an Anti-Mason, but he had no warfare with individual Masons; it was the mstitution that he fought. Mr. Anderson of Delaware spoke against Anti Masonry, but said he should vote for the resolution. Mr. Kerr of Allegheny al se spoke in his,usual flash style against the resolution, but said he was an Anti-Mason. Mr. Herrington a Mason spoke against con; Burning - the - time -- of the - House &c. . Mr. Miller of Fayette obtained the floor and moved the adjournment of the subject until to-morrow, when he will give his views, if it be not postponed by the majority. VARIOUS. MATTERS.--- In the Report of the Committee on In land Navigation, recently ntide to the legis lature, Philadelphia is estimated to contain at this time 200,000 inhabitants, who re ' quire for domestic use, manufactures, and steamers, 250,000 cords of wood annually. By means of canals, a supply of coal is brought to the city, and thus the price of wood is reduced $2 per cord; making a sav ing to the inhabitants of $500,000 a year. Nor does the advantage stop there; for ow ing to the reduction in the price of fuel, nu merous articles, in the manufacture of which fuel forms a considerable item of expendi ture, are also lowered in prize. The far mers, -too, who it might be supposed, would be injured by the coal competition, derive a benefit from the canals more than commen surate with their first loss,as they can trans port their produce to market in less time and with diminished expense. - Emigration to Texa9 is becoming epidem• is in Alabama. Hundreds of families have gone and are about to go. Some of the richest planters in the State are moving to Texas. The President, under authority ()fan act of Congress, has - given the Lion presented to him by the Emperor of Morocco, to the Orphan Asylums of Washington &George town, and a Committee on behalf of those institutions offer the Lion for sale at' public auction, in Washington, on the 21st instant. OHIO AND Mrcnroatv.—The Legislature of Ohio has passed a law, with but one dis senting vote in each House, 'providing for the extension of the jurisdiction of t hat State over an important portion of territory (in cluding Miami Hey) in dispute between Ohio and the-Territory of Michigan. • The' law provides for the election of township officers in the several towtiships . 'therein included, and extends the 'boundaries . of the three Northwestern counties, so us to include the whole of the disputed territory. This mea sure, it seems, has been taken by Ohio,-in retaliation of an act recently passed by the Leuislative Council of Michigan, making it a criminal offence for any person to exercise the chutes of any office within• the disputed territory, under any authority not derived under or by virtue of the laws of Nlichignn, and providing for the punishment of offenders against the law by fine and imprisonment. This dispute, according to the modern southern doctrine, cannot be decided by the Judiciary oldie Union, and the parties must settle it by force of arms—in which case might will make right.—Chumb. Rep. EARTIIQUAKE AT GAUTENTALA.—Capt. King. of the schooner Despatch, at N. York, reports that towards the close of January, several severe shocks of earthquakes wore felt at Omoa and vicinity for 4 or 5 days in succession. The noise was like the firinc , of heavy cannon. Ashes fell on the deck of the Despatch to the depth of a quarter of an inch. Capt. K. was informed at Ornoa that an Indian village about 50 miles in the in terior had been destroyed, with all the in habitants, except four who were at the time on the mountains. The journal of the proceedings of the An ti-Masonic State Convention, which we pub- lish to•dny makes no mention of the debates in the Convention. There was little or no difference of opinion on any of the subjects brought before it, but the Convention was very forcibly and eloquently addressed on the general principles of Anti- Masonry by Messrs. Cassatt of Adams, J. R. Jontis of Philadelphia, Walker of Erie, aud Smith of Butler.—Harrisburg Telegraph. A small house erected by a M r. Tuttle, of Wayne county, Ohio, for the confinement of his insane wife, was lately burned up, and *itli it the unfortunate woman. The fire was not discovered until the roof of the build ing had fallen in. A NEW Sao°TrNo (11/xIIINR—A French. man, by the name of Bilot, is said to have invented a machine , which will discharge 120,000 balls, of a belle pound each, at one shot. No wonder the French Chambers are so "obstropolous" about paying the in demnity. A stage driver between Boston and Med ford, named Joseph Wyman, has just corn• pleted thirty years since he "commenced run ning a' stage between those two places.— During the whole of that time he has never lost a trip by illness; never met with an acci dent; or lost a horse. Com IN THE WEST. -It has been so cold in Indiana, that an editor of one of the news. papers in that State, was obliged to sit up in his office all night, wah a couple of printer's devils rubbing his head, to keep the ideas from frgezing! Fires.—There haS been smother destruc• tive fire at Schenectady, N. Y. It broke out at an early hintr on 'Tuesday morning, in an out building of Mr. J. Brown on the west side of the Rail Road, between Water street and the Canal, and soon communica ted to the Rail Road office on the south and to a valuable range of buildings erected by Mr. Brown on the north; to the west it reached the house occupied by Mr. John . Elder, and whole intermediate space was swept by the flarnes--the total loss in build ings is stated at IS to 20,000 dollars—and twenty families were 'rendered houseless. CRAM RERSBURG, March 17. CUURCII ROBBERY.--On Wednesday night last, some villian prided out the Corner Stone of the new Grindstone Hill Churrh, and pilfered it of its contents, - which; we are informed, did not exceed /too dollars. This act equals in meanness any thing of- which we have over heard. As yet it is not dis covered by whom the atrocious deed was committed --Telegraph. . On Monday the 9th instant, a man was found dead in the South Mountain, about one mile and a half south of John Maguire's Inn, in thin county. A coroners inquest was called and from the examination made the Jury concluded that he had come to his death from some unknown cause. When found his feet were, we understand, sticking in a hole among rocks to which ho was fro zen fast. His head, neck and breast were nearly stripped of flesh by wild, animals.— The deceased was an entire stranger, and had no papers about him which served to shew his name. His clothing consisted ofa drab roundabout of Pittsburg cord, blue cloth pantaloons, white flannel shirt s wool hat, drab cloth vest, course 'shoes, leather suspenders and buckskin mittens. He was about 5 feet 8 inches high, and apparently between 40 and 45 years of age.—lbid. The Reading Chronicle of March 10th, sap:— We are authorized to announce the name of Henry A. Muhlenberg, as a Candidate for nomination at the Lewistown Convention, on the 6th of May next. Thr2wing this gentleman as we do, upon The people, we Teel confident they will not desert him. A most laughable circumstance occurred in the Senate chamber of the United States, on Saturday the 28th ult. during the time of ballotting for printer. Dr. LINN of souri, in the heat of the engagement, instead of his ballot, deposited a chck for 8500, which he had just received from the ser geant-at-arms! A circumstance almost as laughable occurred in this city a few years since. In a holly contested election a zeal ous partizon marched boldly up to the hal lot-box and deposited a BANK NOTICE, he had received a short time previous from the "runner," with ns much self-complacency as if it was to decide the fate of parties.-- Frederick Herald. W'hear Major Downing! PARIS, Ist Feb. 1.335. To my old friend Mr. Dwight of the New York Daily Advertiser:— I suppose you'll all be nock'd up in a kin der dunderment whenyou conic to see w !Jere this Letter comes from—so I best begin by tellin you how it come about. You see jest arter I wrote you that Letter dated Gth of Dee. last—a little arter the message come out, the Gineral was so well pleas'd with my notions he sent for me, and says he, Major, you have got the rale grit in you when things come to a pinch, and tho' you and I lutv'nt agreed in all matters for a go.sd spell now; yet I see when matters git mixed up with foreign business, you drop all party dillur. tutees at home and are ready to stand by the country, till things git a goin strait again.— Now says. he that's wh at I call American feeling, and with that we shook hands, and all was as pleasant atwixt us as a May morning. "Now," says I, "Gineral, to make short of a long story, my notion is that the best thing [ can do is to go right over to France myself and keep a look out on that side,and see how the cat jumps there—and as you and Congress will keep a sharp eye on things on this side, it will be a hard matter if they git worse without our knowiug about it as soon as the rest of creation; for says I there is no tellin what them Frenchmen may do, and if we have got to eat perrage with the • Devil, my notion is it is but fair we should have as long a handled spoon as he has got." Now, says I, they may take a notion to send Mr. Livingston off, and then there will be no one there to keep a look out 14 us, and I have been thinking so much about it, says 1, that 1 have concluded to go right otFthere as soon as Capt. Jumper can fit out the 'Two Follies' to carry me—and 1 tell's the Gin eral if he had any thing to say or any direc tions to give I was ready, and if he had'nt any it made no odds, tor I believe I know's pretty much the upshot of the hull matter, and if Congress didn't chose to pay my ex penses. out and home, I'd pay 'em myself, and take the responsibility too—and so tutor a considerable talk about one thing and an other, the Gmeral he wisted the success and I pushed off post haste to Kennebunk,where Capt. Jumper and the Two Follies was, and as he had t letters, I found things all ready, a 'n no time. We short, but a pesky wet passage, Jumper had a considera ble of dcargo of notions onboard, besides a deck load of lumber, for he thought while his hand was in, he might as well be takin ad vantage of "the panic," us he called it. We made a strait wake to Havre, where I left him, andl streak'd it right up here to Paris, and here I have been as busy as ever I was when Congress was gettin together. I suppose, as I didn't tell you or any oth er livin critter but the Gineral, that 1 wns goin to France, you have been womierin why you ha'nt heal d of me for so long a time.— Well tlow you havp got the reason on't.— And now I suppose . you expect to hear what I have been about here, and what I have seen and heard worth tellin about•since I have been here. But this is impossible, for two reasons—first, I have seen so much that I couldn't tell you the half on't without de taining Capt. Jumper longer than I tell'd him I would, and another thing, I hain't got time to say all I wept to say for our folks at Washington, and that's the most important. ' Pritty much as I expected when I got here' I found Mr. Livingston nigh upon as bad off as tho' he wan't herebut I sumvse „our folkdat Washington have balanced that ac count by. seem that the- French Minister is treated jiat so too—that's what they call di plomatic 'Fit for Tat. The first thing I did as soon as I had time to turn round and got on my best rigi mentals, was to go right off and see the King, for! always -like- to-beain at -the -right e-nd of all matters. So I took a chap along with me to show me the way—but I couldn't glt him further than the outer gate of the "white house' or "arltllery house," as they somehow call it, where the king and all the sogers that I met from the gate to the from roop. no sooner see me, than they give me the salute g ist as quick as our folks of the 2d Brigade wd on trainm days. But when I got inside the front doer, I met a teeth) mor sel of a stumper. for a spell. An amazin perlite critter said something to me in French, and made a rale smasher of a bow, and says!, Major Downing at your service—just then a parcel of gineral officers was coming down along the hall, and one on em..no sooner heard the name, than up he comes to me, and says he, Major Downing of the 241 Brigade of Downingville "Jest so," says 1; and with that he threw his arms right around my neck, and says he, "Major, .1 never am so happy as I will be up to this present moment to. see you;" and who do you think it was? well who should it be but the General, who was so long in our regular service. I didn't know him at first, he was so kivered all up in regimentals, but I was right glad to see him; and as soon as tell'clhim I wanted to see the king, he turn- ed right round to the first chap who spoke to me, and giv him the word—and the name of Major Downing went along up the stair case nbout the quickest, and I arter it—and by the time I got where the king was up chamber, in his Cabinet room, 1 calklated here warn't a livin crittur in•the House hat didn't know 1 was there. The king was surrounded pretty much by ho hull scrape of hie Secretaries, and Ma ors, and Auditors—and I dont know but Post Masters and Contractors, for thero was a mortal batch on 'em--and as soon as I came in they all bow'd ofrabout as quick as folks used, to at hum, whenever I and the Gineral met to have a talk on most matters. 'rho king he riz up, and put nut his hand, and On me a good hearty shake; and says he, Major Downing, "believe me,, sayb he, that next to the president; there is no man from . your ,country I am so glad to see—and at this particular: time, says hn, r gnat know hut I would rather see you than the Presi• dent himself , fnr, says he. it.. pains me conle&i that ever since I' have been alting, hove never been made to teal so much like what I was afore I was a king, as 1 have on reading that message the President sent to Congress a spell ago.- He told me however to take a seat, and he sot down too, and with . that lie began asking all manner of que;;. Lions, what Congress had done, and what they was going to do, and when 1 left home,. and how 1 came, and what office I came in, mid seemed to be in quite a wonderment,- and wound up by nuking how the Pre-adent was, sod if he rely was in earnest, for says Maj•ir, you have no idea how the Mes sage has astonished the great and generous nation. So soon us I got a chance, I pluck ed up and wo went at it tulkin over the hull matter—the particulars of all which I've sent home to our flks, and if, they choorie to publish it 1 cant help it, the' I shall take care to git out of France before the printed account not Bits back here. I tell'd the king I believed the hull matter was in a nut shell, and if he'd keep his eye ont I'd crack it for him. In the first place, says I, your folks owe our folks five millions of dollars jist as clear as though you and I had been tradin togeth er for a long spell, and arter trying for a set tlement, I agreed to take less than I helieved you owed me, and you gave me your note of hand to close the business for the sum agreed on. That's the plain English en't says 1. 7 - Now your folks haggle and twist about it, and wont vote the money agreed on, and want to open the matter agin, and our folks never will agree to that in creation. They went take a cent lees than five millions of dollars--they'll have that now or loose ten times the sum in trying to git it; they'll make a spoon or spite a horn, says I. Mr. Liv ingston found it out says 1, that some of your opposition Congressmen would not vote in favor on't seeing that you Wflti in favor on't, and some of them minted jist to bother you; and we was so far off they didn't calkulate the consequences; but it . the Gineral made it a serious matter, these opposition folks of yours would vote tother way; here the king wanted to know how on earth I found this out, but I went on. Well, says I, the Gin eral saw t'us in a minit, and so he said jist what he did in the message—"but such a dose Major," says the king—well, well,says I, the Gineral dont understand doctrinthe bilks arter the French fashion—l suppose says I,a little magrreshe and chicken broth would do here, but when folks get in a tan (rum on our side of the water, nothin short of a rale dose of elder bark tea does any good, particularly if the complaint is of long standing. And now says I if_ any trouble commences oat I dont know says I which is most to blame, the complaint or thefissik. The king he looked at me, and then he scratched his head, well says he Major they are both bad enuf; but says I one will cure tother to rights I'm sartin. I can't stop to tell you now one half- of what I said or what the King said, for as I said afore, Capt. Juniper is waiting, and-his last letter to me from _Havre says he can't possibly wait longer than SaturdiTeeli-,--lii— he wants to get home in tune to make one run to Cuba, and back to Kannebunk, afore ploughing time. Whilst my hand is in, I w'd like to tell you a little about this place, but impossible-1 keep thinkin all the while, there is one eternal Independence day here--folks are so full of fun and such swede of Galls. The King has me with him eve• ry day, and makes Gen. Bernard go about with me wherever I want to go; and if I liarl'ilt been so long at Washington, and- seen so tnuch there of Congress And state matters from the President down, i'd feel, 1 suppose, more like gem threw my shirt collar, than I do at the show of things here. Their Con gress is in session here, and I dont mean to quit till our business is. finis h ed—but how on earth they menage-to understand one an other in their House of Representatives I can't tell, for sick a Cliatterin and jargon you haVe no idee; but arter all they manage things pretty slick in one way; and I see no other way they could do it—and I don't know buf it is better than our way. When the Representatives meet, the President— answering to our Speaker—he gives out the business to speak about—and then comes a scramble to get up into a kinder pulpit or what Gen. Bernard says they call the tri bune, and the first one who gets there the President calls his name, and he goes at it, • reading his speech malty much arter Isaac Hill's fashion—some groan, and some huzza according to party notions—if they git so noisy that the President can't hear, the Speaker be rings a bell, that quiets 'ern- 7 -- but if it dont, he rings again; if that dont • quiet 'em he gits up and arter looking pritty hard, and given fair warnin, he rings the third time, picks up his blackcap, claps.it on his head, and that's the eend of. that , day's work. The house is adjourned jest as completely as though the vote was unani mous. So, you see, laws and rules of all countries are made jest to suit the outer of folks. Now there is no . other.way in crea tion to put a stop to a - noise in a French . Congress but to adjourn it, and that can't be done no how but for the President to put his • cap on and walk off-L-pretty much like the Gineral's Veto. I shall be home pretty soon arter this— for if I don't miss my guess, they.are only waiting here to see what our Congress will do. .If our Congress says fight, why then, they must fight—but ifCongress gives them a chance by saying any. civil, they'll dovin with the dust, and git out of the scrape about the quickest ; and it will be a long While afore they or any other nation will at- tempt to bamboozle us agin. You can tell all our folks there aint goin to be no war with France, unless we begin it; for I believe they'll pay us the money as Soon as they can do so,and clear of Navin their_ neifflitiors say they were frighteiled into it. I have been asked pretty often here if the United States will declare war ifthey don't pay us; and I tell 'em, that •as nigh as I validate I guess they will. But if I had my way ahem it I would'oi jest vet, nor would I tell 'em when I would; but I'd keep my eye on 'em; and as we have got judg• 0*- Devoted to Pallics, Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, Literature, Science, Agriculture, the J►lechanic aria, Internal Improvement, and General aillisceaany' ment, I'd ev'ry year add interest to princi pal; and when they git mix'd up in some fight with their neighbors in Europe, and wouldn't have quite so much power to injure us as they now have, I'd hop down upon 'em and make 'eLn pay every dollar, or lend their enemies a hand in givin 'em a sound ashin —not that I ant cleat d to 'am eght ofl' now, but then my notion is if I wan ted to light a chap who only owed me mo ney, I'd do it only for the mere sake of threshin him, and I should take my own time, and when I could do so without his Ewing able to give me a scratch or a black eye.

Whig Convention. (f . .r. - We perceive, from various indica -tions, that efforts are making to get up an other Convention, for the purpose of bring ing out a Whig candidate for Governor.— We cannot believe that the Whig party,pro fesSing the principles they, do, can be induc •ed to adopt so fatuous a course of conduct. They cannot, of course, expect to elect their man; and its only effect would be, to in crease the chances of Van Huron's getting the Electoral vote of Pennsylvania. We firmly believe, that whatever dissen sions may now prevail in the ranks of the Jackson party, they will all be healed before the election, and that there will be only one Van Buren candidate in the field for Govern or. Either Wolf will be bribed to decline by the promise of a Foreign Mission,or some bone out of the Van Buren /Catchers, or Muh. leriberg will haul off: If they should find there is no other way to - prevent the success oft he opposition, us the election draws near, we venture to predict that this will be the course. Why, then, slineld_ihe opponetits of-Van Boren - divide, and thus almost ensure hiS success? fir, mark our words, if Pennsyl vania goes for a Van Buren Governor, srtc COES FOR HIM TOO AT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. On the other hand, if the oppo sition succeed in electing their candidate, IT WILL MULTIPLY VERY MUCH THEIR CHAN CES OF CARRYING THE STATE AT THE ELEC TION FOR PRESIDENT. So Obvious is the impolicy, not to say madness, of the course suggested, that we can only view it as a de vice of the enemy, probably emanating from the "Great Magician" himself, on the prin. ciple of "dividing to conquor." Upon the present course of the Whigs will depend, not only their future respects bihty, but their very existence as a party; for, if through the madness or folly of their leaders, they lose the present fait opportuni ty of rescuing Pennsylvania from the fangs ofJacksonism, the public indignation of an abused people will be terrible, and must at once extinguish their political existence.— But we have sufficient confidence in their good sense and intelligence not to fear such a resalt. We shall see. ETFROM lIARRISBUnG. • Otr"On the 9th inst. Mr. McSuattny pre- sented a petition from Adams county against the counties of Adams and York being erec tedinto a separate judicial district, and two for - a survey of a route for extending the Columbia rail road to Cliamhersburg. Mr. SrEvElxs five from Adams county of the same import as the last; and one from wininm.- Johnston an old soldier. On the 12th, Mr. S•rnyntits reported, An nct to regulate the manner of expending the Road Tax in the Borough of Gettysburg. On the 13th, tlr. STEvENs,frona the Coin. truttee 'on the Judiciary,. reported a bill to annul the marriage , contract between Rob. ert Mears and Lydia Mears.— Investigation of Masonry. C* - On the 12th inst. Mr. STEvniss inov. ed to take up his resolutions calling for an investiglitiiin of Mosonry,when the devotees. of the Lodge rallied and negatived the inn tiuti—Yoas 35, Nays 4411 This is the se. cond time the Members of the Lbdge have applied the gag-lain to the debate on these resolutions. The Telegraph states that Mr. Stevens notified them, that he would call them up everyday of the session, and oblige them to record their votes against the liberty of debate, unless they yielded - to . the call On the 14th, Mr. STEVENS was permitted to call up his resolutions, when (the Tele graph states) Mr. Attu:a of Fayette, took the floor and went into a full investigation of Masonry, in a speech of considerable. length and great power. Ile fully and tri• mnphantly sustained the charges in the pre amble against the Masonic Institution. His remarks were severe, and the Masons were greatly excited at times. Messrs. ANDERSON and MT.LwEE denied the truth of the charges set forth in the preamble. M r. STEVENS replied most eloquently and forcibly to their denial. He read the En tered Apprentices oath, and called upon either of the gentlemen or any Mason in the Hotise to deny it, if it was not substantially true. Not a Mason dared to do so, altho the charge and challenge of Mr. S. stung to the very quick! Mr. REED, of the county, opposed the passage of the resolution, because it would elevate the Anti-Masonic party over his,the Masonic party. Before the debate closed the Anti-Masons entirely silenced every Mason and hod carrier in the House: not one would arise and attempt to defend the institution. They looked and acted very angry, it is true, but they dared not open their lips to remove the catalogue of crimes that were piled, mountain high, at the tern. ple of their idol. But when the vote _was taken on the preamble, it was lost, every member of the Masonic party voting in the negative: the Anti-Masons and 'most of the Whip voting in the affirmative. The Ma seine party then voted to strike Out the words "Masonic and Odd Fellows," in the resolution, and insert "Secret Societies," and the resolution passed by a vote of 85 to 7. This was a proud triumph for Anti- Masonry—a triumph that four years ago would have created such a fire in the Ma sonic ranks as would have thrown commu nity into a convulsion. <When this had passed the House adjourned. Extract of a Letter to the Editor of the Gettysburg Star and Republican Bunter, dated HARRISBURG, March 17, 1835. DEAR Sin—But little is doing in legisla tion here. Politics seem to engross the office-holders and office-hunters. The Anti- Masons move on quietly, sure of the suc cess of their principles and candidate. Mr. Wolf, of course, will not be driven from the field. And Muhlenberg swears terribly, that he will run. This, however, I doubt. It would destroy him with his party, and effectually destroy Van Buren's prospects in this State. I trust his fool-hardy friends will insist en his (Muhlenberg's ) being a candidate. Whether one or more candi date runs Ranee.; election is certain. The people will have a new dynasty—not merely a new man. Muhlenburg is a very assailable candi date, and not at all to be feared. He is an apostate clergyman, and has so far forgot his character as to become a profane swear er, together with sundry other habits unbe coming one who once occupied the pulpit. But political priests are the most abandoned men generally. The Senate I fear will repeal the School Lnw, and thus crush the poor beneath the rich. I regret to say that bath the Sena tors from our district are opposed to Free Schools and vote for the repeal. AMOR BAIRD.—We. are gratified In hit. ing able to state that the controversy be tween Judge BAIRD and a number of the members of the Bar of Fayette county,which has been the means of arraigning the Judge on ,a charge, for impeachment, is likely to be settled without the tedious form of trial; his accusers having abandoned all charges but this, that the Judge overstepped the bounds of his authority in striking their names from the roll,which both parties have agreed to submit to the decision of the Su preme Court. A bill empowering the Su. preme Court to decide in the case has pass. ed the Legislature.--Pa. Tel. The Pennsylvanian charges Gen. Mc- Kean with getting up the seventh of March caucus that nominated Geo. Wolf. We are satisfied that Gen. McKean not only had nothing to do in this matter, but that he will not support the nomination of even his old friend. The opponents of Van Buren will not support a Van Buren candidate for Go vernor.—Harrisburg The leaders of the Muhlenberg party ap pear to be determined to prepare for war, offensive and defensive, by purchasing newspaper establishments, if not editors. The Easton Argun of last week publishes the followina laconic epistle: "1-I.tanisnuno, Mnrch 8,1835. "Sarni. tunes. Esq.—Dear Sir: Will you conic out for Muhlenberg? If not, will you sell out,? Please let me know by return of mail. Yours, in great haste, JEDAIAH IRISH." The Muhlenbergers have, we suspect, gone to markot a little too late. Governor Wolf's office holders were up earlier in the morning, and bought up all the butter.— Lancaster Examiner. CITARLREITOWN CONVENT.—The propo sition in the House of Representatives of Massachusetts for an appropriation for dam ages sustained by the destruction by fire of the Ursuline Convent; has been reiused by a vote of 413 to 67. Of the latter number 37 were members from Boston. The sum proposed to be appropriated, was $16,000. VutoirizA.—The Legislature of Virginia adjourned on the night of the 12th inst. after a session of 102 days—=during which they passed 227 acts. Among the most impor. tent of them are those relating to Internal Improvements, and more especially those in aid of the James River work, and the RichMond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rid road. Another one deserving of note is the formation of a new county out of that of Ohio County, to be called Marshall. Onto BANKS.—According to the official report of the Auditor of the State of Ohio,it appears that the actual Banking capital in that State, on the Ist Jan. was $5,867,525 divided among 27 Bunks. Their total cir culntion is $4,553,897, of which the portion under 8.5, is $1,182,577, sand that above $5, is $3,382,321. The specie on hand is $2,- 489,912, and the discounts $6,799,247. YORK, March 18.—Fire!—The tannery and stock of bark, leather and hides of Messrs. Houston and Mifflin, near Colum• bia, were destroyed by fire on Thursday evening last. Loss estimated at $4,000 or $5,000, and no insurnnce.—Repuh. Those of our sdhscribers who intend changing their residence on the Ist of April next, will please notify us, that we may be enabled to direct their papers correctly. CtzrF. will appear in our next. (i;7 We have been requested to inquire whether the "Baltimore Saturday Visitor" is published weekly or semi-monthly? It is generally received at our Post Office about every other week. Very Late from England. By the packet ship Virginia at N. York, London and Liverpool papers to the 10th and 11th ult. have been received. GREAT BRITAIN.—PurI in mem was to as. semble on the 19th of February, and was to be opened by the King in person. The Queen, and others of the royal household were to accompany his-Majesty to London. It is stated that in the late elections, one hundred and thirty military and naval offi. care have been returned to Parliament. It is evident that both parties are strain ing every nerve for the approaching Parlia mentary contest, and we must confess the prospect for the opening of the session, is not very cheering to Sir Robert Peel and his friends. FRANCE AND TILE UNITED STATES.- The intelligence from Prance is not so late as our last advices direct. The London pa pers, however, pay great , attention to the American question and their correspondents write almost daily upon the subject. No doubt is entertained by these vigilant letter writers, of the pacific adjustment of the ques tion, and all attribute the fortunate turn which the affair has taken to the report and resolution of the American Senate, in oppo sition to the precipitate rashness of the Pre sident. . It is believed in London, that tile adjust- ment of the American Question,will become the signal for the re construction of the French Cabinet. But though they appear to be pretty confident that the present Cabi net will shortly undergo some modification, they are not equally positive as to the mode in which the predicted modification will be effected. "The ambition of the present Miniver of the Interior, points to nothing less than the general direction of the affairs of the Government, with the possession of the seals of the Foreign-Office and the Pre sidency of the Council. Should hesucceed in reaching the pinnacle of power, his friend, M. Guizot, would probably become his suc cessor at the Home Department. "The arrangement is of course incompa- tiable with the co•operation of Marshnl Souls, for whom a strong preference is still supposed to exist in the mind of the King: but as the retirement of Marshal Souk was undoubtedly brought about by M. 'niers, they are not likely to act harmoniously to• gether in the - same Administration. - His Majesty will therefore have to decide be tween the contending claims of Parliamen tary eloquence and personal predilection,and if It were not premature to form or to express any opinion on the subject, a would not be difficult to infer the course which King Lou ie Philippe is likely to pursue." "The elevation of M. Thiers to the first rank in the Ministry would produce the re retirement of Admiral de Rigny, who has in fact already been spoken of in consequence of his acknowledged deficiency as a Parlia mentary orator." The London Courier of the 9th pronoun. ces, upon the authority "of a professional gentleman who has reason to be well inform ed," that the pregnancy of the Queen was eertain. The present King of Great Britain was born August 21, 1765, and the Queen, Au gust 13, 1792. They were married July 11, 1818, and have no children. The pres ent heiress presumptive of the crown, the Princes Alexandrina Victoria, daughter of the late Duke of Kent, was born May 24' 1819. SPAIN.-Our news from Madrid is of the . 29th ult. at which time a general alarm ex isted least a revolution should break out, and fresh troops are ordered into the capital from Estremadura. The greatest vigilance is exerted on the part of the Government— the post office is strongly guarded, and largo patrols circulate through the streets at night. In the Proceres, on the 27th, General Que. sada attacked Llander in a violent manner, recommending that he should' be watched. The ex-minister had left Madrid on his way to Barcelona, where it was supposed he was to resume the Captain Generalship of Cata. lonia, but the impolicy of entrusting him with such a command has been so strongly urged on the ministers, that we do not think he will be allowed to retain the post. It was ieported, indeed, that he had been nc tually recalled. The promises' to the mu. tinnus regiment of A rragon have been bro ken. Ceder° and others.were ordered to, the island of Majorca, but suspecting evil designs against them, they made their es• cape. rho non.comsniaioned officers were dismissed the service, the men drafted into eur corps, and the regiments disbanded.
