State, he considers it due to those who ad

From the Reading Chroniele,[lquidenberg.]
Cold Comfort for the Wolfttes
— lt is well known that the friends of Mr.
Wolf hope to receive some support from the
Whigs. But if we can judge from Iherone
of the Papers of that party there is, no foun.
dation for such a belief. The Philadelphia
Inquirer, an influential Whig Journal, says,
"We can assure the Intelligencer, that the
great mass of vote's °fells city will never,
or we are greatly mistaken, give their votes
for the re.election of tho present incumbent,
no matter how liberal the promise of the
office holders."
The Bucks county Intelligencer, also a
well conduc.ted Whig paper, after noticing
Mr. Irish's resolution, goes on to say:
"Now, we have heard a great deal about
officers . of the State Goverement interfering
with elections and the choice of candidates
for office; but we drd not expect to see them
so bold as to step into the arena of strife, &
fight for their chief and patron, under his
eye. It is time to look into the buiseness—
the people are groaning under debt and tax
es; but so long as office-holders can direct
nominations and elections, they need not
hope for relief. Let the rids asked for in
that resolution be published abroad, and we
predict that it will overwhelm the Admin.
istmtion of George Wolf. Whatever his
popularity may be, or however deservedly
esteemed by the people, an exposition of
such facts, would alienate their affections
from him . . Let it be known too, that Dr.
Burden, the successful speculator in the loans
of this commonwealth, and a Senator, went
along with the Delegates, and managed, af
ter they had adjourned, to get them re-as
sembled to nominate Wolf, and that ano
ther Senator from this county, indirect
violation of the spirit four constitution, re
tains two offices under the state, receiving
three dokrs per diem for his services as
Senator; dat the same time sixtydollars
per month for being Collector of Tolls,
when ho is a - 100 miles from his office, and
attending to, other business For which he is
amply paid. These facts will startle the
people, and we predict, will endanger, if
not defeat Gov. Wolf's re election."

The New 'Yorkßegency Unveiled.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
NEW YORK, April 4th, 1835.
I have just returned from Albany, where
1 had an excellent opportunity tn hear and
see the operations and deliberations of the
Regency affecting future events. Wash
ington and Albany are the two centres of
power in this country—New York city is
however beginning to be used as the com
mon ground where the Kitchen and Regen
cy meet to consult on new measures. Still
Albany is a place where, ifyou get into the
inner circle, you can learn all that is going
forward. I found it so. 1 had the oppor
tunity of a good introduction, I was"all ears
—no tongue"—l shall mention no marries=--
merely general facts,from which thecourse
of events may be gathered up with tolerable
accuracy.
At- this blessed moment, Pennsylvania
and Judge White of Tennessee, occupy all
the attention of . the Regency. I may talk
ofJudge White afterwards—Pennsylvania
is the knotty point at present.
The disruption of the Jackson party there
abOut a Governor is the cause of serious un
easiness to the Regency. Not long since
the Kitchen sent on a deputation on the
same affair—Blair of the Globe, was here
for several days. But in order to under
stand the present difficulty, I must go back
a couple of years and relate as I have heard
it, the operations of the Regency upon the
politics of Pennsylvania.
It seems that in 1832, when the Electornl
vote of Pennsylvania was given to General
Jackson, but was withheld from Van Buren,
the Regency never had any hopes that the
dark, benighted State of Pennsylvania would
ever come over to Van Buren. They ex
pected that its heavy canal debt—and the
profusion and extravagance of the Wolf
party would sooner or later break down all
the parties in that State. Their works of
internal improvement were cast in a mould
far beyond the available means of the State,
and although 'ultimately her natural riches
were sufficient to meet the emergency, yet
the' party that engaged in them would be
prostrated in the dust in the process of de
velopement—just as the first builders of fac
tortes in New England and elsewhere all
broke to pieces and the field left for a race
of successors to make fortunes. There was
also a want of talent among the leading men
of that State. They never had and never
would produce great men as New York had
done—the two Clintons, Hamilton, Van
Buren, who would become the god of the
day, and bear down all other personal par
ties or factions.
Entertaining these views, the: Regency
or Van Buren sent an agent into Pennsyl
vania in the winter of 1832-3 to spy the
nakedness of the land—to ascertain if prac
ticable the nature ofpublic opinion—to learn
the tnodenf its manufactures and spread in
that Bcotian land., The agent went--spent
several weeks—found, that there was a fa
vonthle opportunity to begin agitation there
according to the Regency plan and probably
that although the State of Pennsylvania did
not then bid fair for Van Buren, yet in two
:•VV•rh .
years a complete change might be effected
by a certsin course ofpolicy there to be in
flexibly pursued.
This was the situation oil:Whirs in 1832-3.
There were then in Pennsylvania two nomi
nal parties—the Jackson and Anti-Jackson
—each of which was again subdivided into
two factions—the Wolt party which had for
leaders, Sutherland, Burden, McKean, Lew:
is, &c.—the Muhlenberg or original Van
Buren, who had for leaders the office-hold
ers of the Kitchen Cabinet. The Wolf
party then were strongly opposed to Van
Buren and McKean who was their candidate
for Senator came out with a warm epistle
against the Vice President, with a view of
conciliating the Whigs and creating a new
combination to put down the Kinderhook
Statesman. The Whigs , of Pennsylvania
did not at that time see the policy of sup
porting McKean. Accordingly the Wolf
party was under the necessity of casting a
bout for another combination.
It was at this period, the spring'of 1833,
that the agents of Van Buren began their
operations and agitations through various
newspapers in that State. The Kitchen
Cabinet had then at heart the removal of
the deposites from the U. S. Bank—the
Regency the spread of the Van Buren poli
cy. There were three or four measures—
all of great importance--coming on in Penn
sylvania—l mean the election of a Senator
—the reform of the Constitution--and the
election also daily approaching of a Govern
or. The. Van Buren party seized upon all
these questions—opposed McKean for his
famous letter—shook the flag of reform at
the life officers—made a terrible noise about
a National Convention, and "sugared o'er"
the name of Wolf "for the nonce." I have
learnt that at that period there were various
caucuses or intimacy (in 1b33) between the
agents of Vnn Buren and the agents of the
Wolf pa rty—that communications took place
—and the basis of a compromise was agreed
to between the parties. Sutherland, Bur
den, or perhaps Wolf himself, may know
something of these negotiations. It was
agreed however that the Van Buren party
should be persuaded to support McKean for
Senator at the next session, sons to get him
from Harrisburg, and thus out of the way—
that the Wolf party was to go for the Na
tional Convention and Van Buren, and that
Wolf should be supported in 1835 ag ain for
Governor. It was included that Wolf and
his friends at a convenientopportunitv should
come out againt4 the U. S. Bank.
These negotiations took place to the sum
mer of 1833, partly under the auspices of
Amos Kendall, and partly of the Regency
in New York. In consequence of this a
greement McKean vas elected to the Senate
--the party at Harrisburg came out in fa
vor of a National Convention, and ultimate.
ly supported all'the measures of the Kitch
en against the U. S. Bank. By these ne
gociations, arrangements, bargains and
pledges, Van Buren made astonishing head
' way in Pennsylvania in 1833 and '34. He
was in a fair way of carrying that State by
a coup de main. Pi.rela sz n.
baso ofstratagetic operations upon the backs
of the ultra Jackson men he so maneuvered
by his generals and aid•de-camps that the
Wolf party was forced into a narrow defile
between the Anti-Masons and Whtgs,,and
they had to submit to terms or be utterly
routed and discomfitted. He so played ofl
against each other the four great factions in
lketia that to the astonishment of every
politician—to his own wonderment, Van
became in the fall of last year the most prom
inent man among the whole combined Jack
son party of that State, and bid fair to carry
its electoral vote next year without either
expense or trouble.
. The .Regency always, and yet do, consid
er the Pennsylvanians as the - poore - st polite= •
cians in the country. The present confu
sion in that State, is a relapse into old dis.
orders, with which that state has been af
flicted for twenty years past. It seems that
in the winter and spring . of 1833-9, when
the Van Buren star was in the ascendant, a
small coterie, partly of the old federal party,
in Philadelphia, embraced the opportunity
of going over to the Van Buren ranks,think
tng that, according to all appearances, the
"opoils" could be smelled in that direction.
This was during the great discussion in
Congress, on the removal of the deposites.
Their aid was very cordially embraced.—
They made their first appearance on that
side, in Philadelphia, when the public meet
ings were held'in favor of the Kitchen on
that measure. John M. Read, a talented
young lawyer, of pure federal blood, as it is
called—was the leader of part of this new
accession. He was introdticed to the Jack
son party by Attorney General Dallas, as I
have heard. Richard Rush is another of
the converted allies. They made speeches;
drafted resolutions—and drummed up every
man they could find in favor of the ultra
measures of the Kitchen. They also ad
vanced money, it is said, and got possession
of the principal news papers,httherto devoted
to Van Buren.
This new aid, joined with the Wolf and
Muhlenberg parties, was the cause of the
unexpected triumph of the Jackson party
there, last veer. Accordingly, immediate
ly after that election, they preferred their
demands for office, and if I am not ,mista
ken, the,aforesaid Mr. Read was proposed
for some office; together with Richard Rush
and a few . others. For some cause, their
c:eims were not attended to. They became
Angry, restive and dissatisfied with Van
Buren. • Out of this spirit, they began last
December, the agitation in faior of Muhlen
berg, contrary to the original treaty ofpeace
with Wolf, Sutherland, and the Van Buren
agents. Owing to the Circumstance, that
there is a large disorganized mass in the
Jackson party, that always disliked Wolf,
they had almost succeeded in ousting him
from the• nomination of Governor. The
recent proceedings . at the March Conven-
tion are well . ` known to the world. The
Wolf pa'rty have there redeemed all the
pledges they made to Van Buren in the
simmer of 1831 They have even gone
further—they have nominated him before
the meeting of the Baltimore °flee Holders
Convention. This policy was adopted in
order to give them the windward tack upon
the Muhlenberg party.
But there is now inextricable difficulty
and confusion in Bixtia. The Wolf party
have sent agents and communications both
to Washington and'Albany. I understand
that Sutherland insists upon the Regency
exercising their influence upon the • Lewis
town COnVention; and if they will not, he
threatens to blow up Van Buren in Pennsyl
vania. McKean, who was always against
Van Buren, is now stronger with Wolf than
ever. AU his predictions about Van Buren
intrigue, he says, have come true to hand.
if Muhlenberg persists ' himself, to run a
gainst Wolf, the whole Wolf party threaten
to get up a prodigious excitement against
Van Buren. They care nothing for the
pledges and electoral ticket made at the
Harrisburg Convention.
Between this hnd the meeting of the Lew
istown Convention, the Regency have un
dertaken the task of calming the waves and
setting every thing on its original ground of
amity. In - pursuance of this determination,
Richard Rush, one of the original instiga.
tors of the opposition to Wolf, has been tip.
pointed to appease the quarrel between Ohio
and Michigan. If he should be no more
successful in that negociation, than he has
been in the Van Buren agitation of Penn
sylvania, I expect to hear that hostilities
have fallen out- on Lake Michigan, one
month after he shall have reached that place.
Negociations are already begun with John
M. Read, Henry A. Muhlenberg, &c. &c.
It is highly probable, that great promises
will be made, if they will back out and bring
the Lewistown Convention to the straw of
an abortion.
Van Buren and the Regency think they
shall be able to settle all this question before
May, so that they may devote the summer
to the total route and discomfiture of fudge
White. Muhlenberg will most probably re
sign the nomination of the Lewistown Con
vention, and the mass of his supporters, who
are not in the secret, will be called upon
through the Van Buren papers, to support
Wolf, and unite with "the democracy."—
This business is still on the carpet, and the
couriers that are passing to and fro, are nu
merous and rapid.
Thus do we see how New York politics
and politicians, by their superior audacity,
tactics and knowledge of human nature, are
gradually reducing the whole confederacy,
under their dominion and power. New
York has already reduced a portion of New
England—Pennsylvania and Ohio will soon
follow, if nothing should intervene. In a
few years, all the other States of the Union
will be only so many departments or prefec
tures to this mighty empire, that stretches
her hands from Sandy Hook to Buffalo.—
Imperial Rome attained her dominion by a
similar policy. She introduced herself into
Greece as a friend and ally anxious to settle
local disputes, and to quiet all commotions
end dissensions. We ace io tho rroaant
stance, Pennsylvania applying to our Re
gency, to settle their dissentions and to give
them a Governor. It is this way, that what
was once called State rights and State pride,
'are all merged in subserviency to the sup
`rior power and influence of this State.--
Have you no local dispute or dissention in
Maryland, through which our ever glorious
Regency can get their hand into your bo
som and take hold of the source of power?
JOSEP'II RITJVER.
No person in pennsylvania has been more
genererally and cruelly misrepresented than
Mr. Ritner; for masonry seems determined
to accomplish all its objects
. by regularly
.concerted systematic arrangements for slan
dering its adversaries.
We can speak, from a long intimate
acquaintance, of Mr- Ritner's most generous,
frank,'"annable disposition, and superlative
natural gifts of intellect. A more right
minded, clear headed man, it has rarely, if
ever, been our lot to meet. Self-taught;
self-made; struggling against every kind of
difficulty,
"Checked by the scoffs of Pride and Envy's frown,
Andpoverty's unconquerable bar,
lii life's low vale remote—"
• He has risen above it all, by the incom
pressible energies of his native powers, and
the sterling integrity of hie character: com
manding the respect and confidence of all
who really know him, and occupying a po
sition which must confer on him the Chief
Magistracy of this great State.
We recollect well when he first went.in.
to public life. Plain, modest, affable, but un
pretending; while others were splashing
about their scanty stock of ideas, he was
quietly treasuring up; and permitted a whole
session to elapse with very little manifesto.
tion, except in private circles, of that mas
culine sense, that electrical sagacity for
which he became afterwards distinguished.
He commenced his second session in the
Legislature as chairman of the committee
of Claims; a post which required from him
laborious attention and study. He occupied
it for twoyears; and amidst the multifarious
subjects crowding continually upon his atten.
tion, he was forced out: to sustain his reports
he was obliged daily to measure his contro
versial powers with the most expert, disci
plined debaters of the house, upon questions
of law, of fact, of usage, or of equity. We
have seen him encounter, and finally baffle,
two able, well prepared Philadelphia law•
yers, upon one of the most complicated and
difficult questions which we ever saw
brought into discussion.
We should like to see some of those hot
pressed, gilt-edged sparks—those milk
.brained, fashionable kangaroos, who are in
ibe constant habit of sneering about Mr.
Ritner as an ignorant farmer, brought
Within the iron grasp of his mind upon some
of those great questions which he managed
so felicitously in that arena of intellectual
conflict.
As .a speaker he has several defects—
both his voice and his enunciation are im
perfect; but hts ideas and his language are
good, abundant, and uninterrupted. He is
chiefly remarkable for the inexhaustible,
ready stock of thit. precious common sense,
which distinguished Dr. Franklin: in fact,
his mode of thinking is strikingly similar
to that of Dr. Franklin; in the constant
practical bearing of his views; the clearness
with which he aces every part of his subject
at the same time; the facility with which he
catches all the obvious and appropriate
points which common minds blunder over,
and the utter absence of all trash from his
thoughts.
The last session before he was chosen
speaker he found leisure to bestow some
time, and much zeal, upon the great system
of Pennsylvania Improvements which was
then commenced; and upon that subject lie
unfolded those profound views, the wisdom
of which we have since been made to feel
by long years of mismanagement, under
statesmen of a very different description.
Mr. Ritner rose to preside over the pop
ular branch of the Legislature without ap
pearing to be aware of the current of im
pressions around him, which carried him
thither—without intrigue; without extra.
neous influences of any kind; by the mere,
natural, upward tendencies of a fine mind,
an amiable deportment, and an inflexible
regard for principle and honor.
He was afierwards thrown out of public
life by the forgeries and intrigues of an in
famous Masonic cabal, to which he scorned
to truckle—the leadei of which has since
received-it-small-portion of his 'deserts in
our Western Penitentiary. If Mr. Ritner
had submitted to their behests,to the sacrifice
of the public interests, he might long ago,
like some other distinguished personages,
have been at the summit of their power,
and at the bottom of their iniquities.
Through the whole of two canvasses for
the office of Governor, the reckless spirit of
the same class of characters has pursued
him, without establishing the shadow of a
single fact against him; until the best sym
pathies of every generous mind have been
roused to sustain him.—Pittsburg Times:

the influence ofGeneral Jackson's name, he

VARIOUS MATTERS.
lITER.OIII HARRISBURCI.
Correspondence of Poulson's Daily Advertiser.
11.a.DRIQDLIRO, Arra 9.
The excitement that manifested itself in
the House yesterday has by no means sub
sided. Mr. J. B. Smith tried to get the bill
relative to limited partnerships up for con
sideration, but so anxious were the mem
bers to hear the bill to be proposed by Mr.
Heston, relative to internal improvements,
&c. that they refused to consider it, though
it is said by commercial men to be of much
importance. When Mr. Heston's bill was
presented, and after it had been read, a scene
almost to be regretted took place—it was
moved that the House proceed to consider
it, forthwith, which was amended by insert
.ing the 16th of April, the 'day after the Le:
gislature adiourns. The first motion pre-.
%Tailed, and the House resolved itself into
committee of the whole, Mr. Middleswarth
in the chair. After some time, the bill was
reported with sundry amendments. In the
course of the discussion it elicited, Mr. Har
rington attacked Mr. Heston and Speaker
Thompson with much virulence and vituper
ation. Messrs. Stevens and Harrison also
attacked Mr. Heston for bringing in a bill
after the solemn decision of the House, more
objectionable than the one which had been
decided upon. I have.never seen such a
decidedly pugnacious spirit in the House as
the internal improvement bill hasquickened
into life. No extecsions will pass, and tho'
all are eager to provide for repairs, dr.c. I
should not be surprised if not a single ap
propriation should pass. This afternoon has
been spent in grading the patented lands of
the Commonwealth. Messrs. Stevens, M'.
Culloch and Woodward, supported the bill
as passed, and Messrs. Lncock, Lawrence
and Miller of Fayette opposed it. The bill
was zealously supported and as zealously op.
posed. The House is in session this eve
ning. The Senate have passed the act in
corporating the Susquehanna Navigation
Company through the second reading. The
few remaining days of the session will in all
probability be spent in the most boisterous
manner, unless the internal improvement
bill is quickly disposed of. I have under
stood that the bill to establish a board of
works will not be before the House again
this session. From actual examination of
the official documents, 1 am enabled testate
that the, amount of- salaries and per' diem
wages paid the officers along the public
works, amounts to 0148,592 37i.

EARTHQUAKE AT ST. THOMAS.
Extract from Capt. Juo. Delcodernices Log Book.
ST. THOMAS, Feb. 11, 1835.
"Twenty minutes past 10 o'clock, expe
rienced a heavy shock of an Earthquake—
the shock lasted about twenty-five seconds—
the report one and a •half minutes. At the
time it commenced I was in a iong low store
in company with Mr. N. Carrington. The
store was composed of brick, atone and lime,
and steed on made hind or ground, and the
shock caused the building to rise and fall
like a long flat boat riding on the waves.—
The pots, hams, and other articles usually
hung on the beams of the stores, were all
put in motion, swinging to and ere. The
shock was also felt by Capt. Hale, of the
brig Rosalba, of Baltimore, in lat. 18° 27',
lon 62'20' which lasted about one minute."
Another extract from the Borne
January 22--" Tuesday, 10 o'clock in the
evening, in passing the Island of Nevis, I
was a spectator to a scene that surpasses all
description. A sudden stream of fire burst
upon our sight that astonished and delighted
us. It was a broad sheet of flame illumina
ting the space of many m:les—emitted from
the volcano on the Island—in a few minutes
the flame disappeared and again burst forth
in one sudden and .plendid column, rising
from the horizon and broadening until it
reached the sky, and extended over the
whole Island. The sight was sublime, bac.
fling all description. I was about twenty
miles from the Island when, it disappeared
altogether, and left us as dark as Erebus."
The Venerable Bishop WHrrE, of Phil•
adelphia, on the 24th of the last month corn.
pleted his 88th year. His name is associated
with many acquaintoinces of Johnson and
Goldsmith, the Chaplain of the continental
congress, and the friend of Wifshingon.--
His interview with Geo. the third,related in
one of his published works, is told with in-
imitable simplicity.
Notwithstanding his advanced age, the
Bishop preaches regularly once every Sun
day; discharges sedulously all the duties of
hi" office; writes with the accumulated !earn
ings of nearly a century, and with ability
unimpared by years, takes an active part in
almost all the benevolent institutions of the
day.
CATHOLIC MissioNsnms.-11 has been
ascertained from the official records of th•
custom houses, as we are informed, that up.
wards of six hundred Roman Catholic mis.
sionaries have arrived in the United States
within this last twelve months. What are
the protestant friends of missionaries doing
in comparison with this?
It is stated that the city of Lyons alone
annually sends to the American market,
manufactured silks to the amount of 812,.

The Hon. Levi Woodbury of New Hamp
shire, has declined being a candidate for the
Vice Presidency. Mr. Benton and Mr.
Buchanan have already done the same.
DEAR HAY. --A Quebec paper states that
hay, just this side of the line, in the State of
Maine, is "twenty dollars a hundred."—
This would be at the pretty considerable
rate of 400 dollars a ton. " If this be not a
mistake in the print, we think it high time
that Major Downing should quit politics and
attend to the agricultural concerns of the
State. Raising hay, at 400 dollars a ton,
is better than dealing in lumber,when boards
are only 5 dollars a thousand..
A Mortsraous Low; TAIL—By an Al.
manac of the Bureau of Longitude for 1835,
we learn that Halley's famous comet of
1835, will make its appearance about the j
middle of Ociober next, with an enormous
tail of eight millions of miles in length! •
A gentleman near Natchez, has liberated

01,...711/3 CASIEET" for April has been received.
Its embellishments - are—St. John Baptising on the
Jordan; Portrait of John Miluin; the Rotunda, New
York; Ashtor's Park Hotel, Now York; A Persian
Entertainment; Trinity Church, New York; April,
in illustration of Spenscr's Seasons; and a piece of
Music. It contains several original articles, and a
mong those selected from other periodicals is the one
on our first page from "The Knickerbocker." written
by BENJAMIN MATTHIAS, Esq. the talented Editor
of the "Post" and "Casket." The present volume
of the "Casket" bids fair to be far superior to any of
its predecessors.
ect-The following letter from Mr. &rev Errs gives
information which will, no doubt, be highly gratify
ing to a large number of the citizens of Adams county:
DEAR SIR--It gives me great pleasure
to inform you, that the Bill which the peo
ple of Adams County had so much at heart
—the LAND GRADUATING BILL, has just
passed the Senate in the same shape in
which it passed the House of Represents/.
tives. It is as follows—
AU land valued (without the improve
ments,) over 10 dollars, pays simple inte
rest. Between $7 and $lO, 4/ per cent
interest. Between $4 and $7, three . per
cent interest. Below $4, no interest.
This law will be a great relief to the poor
Your's &c.
Cu- Another • letter from Mr. SrEverm states that
the above Bill has received the signature of the Gov
cram and become a law.
I:ITWe learn that the bill creating the Counties
of Adams and York into a separate Judicial Dis.
trict, has passed both Houses, and only wants the
signature of the Governor to become a law.
(101-It is thought that the School Law will not be
repealed.
QT It is with much pleasure we observe, that
whilst the two factions of the "Democratic" party
are "using each other up," perfect unanimity
prevails, generally, throughout the groat Reform
party. Hero and there we see a "black sheep,"
or a "Wolf in sheep's clothing"—but with few
exceptions the groat body—all who sincerely de-
sire to see Pennsylvania wrested from the grasp
of men who would move heaven and earth, and•
sacrifice the dearest and best interests of their
country at the shrine of their unhallowed zombi.
tion and their grapplings after power—all who
have such a patriotic wish at heart, have deter.
mined to sacrifice all minor and selfish considera
tions and act upon high and elevated ground.—
They see that now rests upon them the responai.
bility of either securing the State to, or of wrest.
ling it from, the New York Regency--and that it
is their duty to stop forward and bo the instru.
*tents of achieving a great and gloriouo victory,
by wresting from the withering and blighting
grasp of Van Burenism the State of Pennsylvania.
They see that for any other course, they have no
plausible excuse: Joseen RiTNaa holds the same
views with them upon the great and leading meas.
urea of the Constitution—that ho id opposed to all
extravagance and unnecessary expenditure of the
People's money, and decidedly in favor of a rho.
rough Reform in our State Constitution. Joseph
Ritner's election to the Gubernatorial Chair, will
be the downfall of the present party in power, and
will secure the electoral vote of the State against
Van Buren. His defeat will forever prostrate the
Constitutional party, and Tian still closer Penn
sylvania to the Car of fhb Heir Apparent. This
cannot be disguised.
tErThe nomination of this gentleman appears
to meet ills general approbation of the opponents
of Van Burin, throughout the State. All the Anti•
Masonic, as well as a large majority oral° Whig
journals have warmly greeted his nomination, and
Avowed their determination to give him their sup.
port. His election is considered certain. With
in the last few weeks wo have received various let.
tare of the same import with thifollowing llom a
gentleman of Lycommg county:—
lirrNen's prospects could not be better
than they are now in this county. I have
been given the names of some twenty; or
thirty .gentlemen, in this neighborhoil, of
the.first i standing, who, opposed him at the
last Gubernatorial election, who are doing
,all they can now to promote his election.
Wolf will not do. Muhlenberg can't be
swallowed/ The fact of his (111uhlenberg's)
once being a PREACHER, and of his sur
rendering his Clerical, tor the more arduous
and exciting—but the more profitable du
ties of a political life—the fact that he•did
not. relinquish his duties as a Minister : of
Christ until he was certain that he would be

to work to his disadvantage. In this sec
tion, as well as in your own, Por.mcAL
PRIESTS will not be tolerated by those who
wish to keep as separate as possible, Church
and State. Parson Muhlenburg will even
tually find, as the Harrisburg Chronicle
quaintly remarks, that "there is but one step
from the PULPIT to a POLITICAL grave."
The person who stole Mr. STAMPS' Masonic
books, it appears, to screen himself, hid. them in the
desk of one of the Members who was absent at the
time Mr. Stevens loaned the books to Mr. Herrington,
a Mason, to reply to him! What a shallow trick !
More in our next.
The Norristown Free Press says—the
war between the friends of Wolf and MA.
lenberg is increasing in violence and abuse,
us the prospects ofeach faction becomes the
more desperate. Witness the following,
from the Lewistown Republican:
"Let the friends of democracy and good
order hold fast to George Wolf, as the rock
of their safety. They might as well place
the administration of their aflhirs in the
hands of a Spanish Banditti, as in the hands
of Parson Muhlenberg, and his Cut Throat
Associates."
TRF.BII FROM THE RANKS OF THE PEOPLE.'
--The Muhlenberg men of Adams County.
Pa. have held a meeting since the 4th March
Convention, at which resolutions were pas
sed denouncing the proceedings of that bo
dy,—abusing Gov. Wolf, the nominee, and
declaring it to be important to the public
interests, "to bring forward a new candidate
for Governor fresh rrom the ranks of the peo
ple."
This, as the Harrisburg Intelligencer said
on another occasion, is rather "toe much
pork for a shilling." The "new candidate"
which this meeting is laboring to bring out,
fresh from the ranks of the people, isa prom.
inent member of the "aristocracy of wealth"
—and has, notwithstanding, lived from early
manhood, on the fat of qffice. Lfho is fresh
from the ranks of the people, poor Wolf,
who has been victimized by the Kitchen,
cannot be very stale.—Balt. Pat.
AMEUICAN MLA.—Raw silk has been
produced within the past year, in Mansfield,
Conti. to the amount of over $60,000. The
county of Windham, Conn. produces five
tons of silk annually, valued at $50.0,000;
and &reeled would be worth double that sum.
Nine prisoners escaped from the jail of
Chester county on the night of the 3d inst.
Two of them had been committed on a
charge of passing counterfeit money, four on
Suspicion of having been accessary to the
burning of Pikeland church, and the three
others for minor criminal offences. They
effected their escape by sawing offone of the
iron bars of the window of the apartment in
which they were confined, and getting into
the yard of the female prisoners. They then
broke through the yard wall, which, in its
present delapidated state, we should infer
from the Register, was not a very difficult
matter. Three or four of the rogues were
apprehended on the following day and con.
ducted back to prison.—Lancaster Exm.
"Goma AnrAn."--The Liverpool Stand
ard states that the British ship Lintin made
her passage from Savannah to Liverpool, a
distance of 3,859 miles, in twentyone days.
The average rate of sailing for nineteen
days, was 203 miles a day.
THE COTTON TRADE.-1t is stated that
in the beginning of the reign of George the
Third, (m 1760) the cotton trade of Great
Britain gave employment to 40,000 persons
and the value of the goods produced was
£OOO,OOO. It now emplo3s not less than
1,500,000 persons, and the value of the
goods produced exceeds thirty-one millions.
The London Athenwum states that the cot
ton yarn annually spun in England, would,
in a single thread, girdle the globe 203,775
times; it would reach filly-one times from
the earth to the sun, and it would encircle
the earth's orbit eight times and half. It
would certainly make the longest yarn ever
heard of.
OrA. British Brig recently sailed from
Charleston with a cargo of cotton on board,
valued at $103,173 16.
The Adams Sentinel which is favorable
to a whig convention, recommends the lion.
Geo. Chambers, of Franklin county, as a
suitable individual for the support of the
whigs, fiir the office of Governor. We
would yield to no one in the appreciation of
the talents and moral worth of Mr. Chem
bers;yet these considerations, under present
circumstances, could not induce us to sup
port him. Besides, it cannot be denied that
Mr. Chambers owes his election to the aid
which he received from the Anti• Masons of
Franklin and Adams,and is as strong an An
ti• Mason as the lion. Edward Everett, who
is the candidate of the whigs and Antt•Ma
sons for the Executive chair of Massachu
setts. Mr. Chambers was nominated by the
Anti-Masons, for the office he now holds
and accepted that nomination. [Carlisle Her.

A new paper is about to be attempted at
Columbus, 0., with the' avowed object of
advocating the election of Hugh L. White

winch has lately been circulated as to the
interesting situation of Her Majesty the
Queen."
~~~ r_,

C*-We find Id' the Philadelphia Inquirer
of the 7th inst. the following condensed view
of the late news from Europe:
The American Indemnity Bill had not
passed the Chambers, but it was believed in
England, at the last dates, that it would e
ventually receive the sanction of a majority
of the Deputies, although some entertained
doubts upon the subject.
The French Ministers had experienced a
defeat on the bill for the continuance of the
Tobacco Monopoly, and they immediately
resigned. No new Ministry had been form
ed. The King was evidently in trouble.
A frigate had been despatched from Toulon,
to watch our squadron at Mahon.
Mr. Abercromby, the reform candidate,
was elected Speaker of the British House of
Commons, by a majority of ten votes, over
Sir Charles Manners Sutton. The Minis
ters were subsequently defeated on one or
two other questions, but they still held on to
the reins of government. A passenger
states, that Sir Robert and the Duke had
declared their intention of retaining their
offices, and that the opposition had deter
mined to grant the supplies but for three
months, as a rod over them. If the latter
can succeed in this measure,we should think
that the only alternative will be for Minis
ters to resign, or to dissolve Parliament.
The Emperor of Austria died on the se
cond of March. He would be succeeded by
his son, the King of Hungary.
Cc:T'A later arrival than the above, brings
letters from Havre, one of which,' dated
March 12, says, "If we had a Ministry, the
law about the twenty-five millions should
have already passed." Another of the I3th,
says, "The report on the Treaty will be
made to the Chambers on the 22d or 23d
inst. (March.)"
The following letter, bringing intelli
gence of the re-organization of the French
Ministry, is, says the New York Journal of
Commerce, from an unquestionable source:
"PARIS, March 12, 1835.
The Ministry remain as they were, with
the change of Mr. De Rigney being trans.
ferred to the War department and Mr. De
Broglie appointed Minister of Foreign Af•
fairs and President of the Council. This
arrangement is favorable to the American
question, and the report of the Committee
will be made in a few days."
RELATIONS WITII FRANCE.—The opm.
ions expressed in the letters received from
France are uniformly favorable to the pas
sage of the indemnity bill. We have had
access to a good many from the most re
spectable sources, and find no difference of
opinion on the subject. Some ofthem speak
in the positive tetras, such as "whosoever
may be Ministers, the bill will certainly
pass." The language we have quoted is
used by members of the Chamber of Depu
ties, who are also merchants and Ilatalmn,'
and write to their correspondents here for
their guidance in business of mutual inter
est.--.Tourn. Cora.
We learn from the different reports made
to the House of Representatives by the Ca
nal Commissioners, that the salaries of the
officers and persons employed upon the ca
nals and rail-roads of Pennsylvania, amount
to the pretty sum of ONE HUNDRED AND
FORTY-THREE THOUSAND, FIVE lIONDRED
AND NINETY-SEVEN, DOLLAES per annum!
and the Harrisburg Intelligencer assures us
that this is by no means the whole amount
paid by the State to persons employed on
the public works. The rock keepers and
perhaps some others, have the rent of their
houses paid by the State. Besides, these
are only the - officers in this grand political
army. The soldiers are not enumerated.
It is probable t hat TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS per annum would not pay the per
sons employed by the State on the public
works. It is time this army was disbanded
—they will eat all the tolls. It is believed
that less than one half of this enormous sum
is amply sufficient to pay every necessary
officer on the improvements.—Lan. Exam.
An English writer says, that Englishmen
are on the average one inch taller than
Frenchmen, and Americans one inch taller
than Englishmen.
A son of Erin, mourning over the fate
that doomed him to an exile from his coup•
try and his home, said,"lf ho ever lived to
die, but God only knew whether he would
or not, he hoped to see swate Ireland before
he left Philadelphia.
