Spirit of the Times.
From the Carlisle Herald, a Whig paper.
JOSEPH
with JOSCIth nil net and the Anti-)Taqnnie party,
Ave know not that we have any thing in common—
they arc as'estranged from the avow«i and e evated
principle?' of the whigs, as the fractions of the divided
party [Wolf and Mahlenberg.)
The above is an extract from the address
of the winos of Franklin county.
I s this the deliberate, candid sentiment of
the intelligent whigs of Franklin? Gentle
' men do you believe tt? Will facts bear you
nut in the denunciation? Is not the Anti
Masonic party attached to the Constitution
and Laws? Have they not invariably evinc
ed that attachment in Corgress and in the
State ;legislature? Point us to a single in
stance in which the Anti-Masonic delega
tions in either the National or State Legis
latures, have "estranged themsdvcs from
the avowed and elevated principles of the
whigs." Two of the most eloquent and pa.
triotic appeals delivered in the last Con.
gress, were by Mr. Everett, an Anti-Ma
son, and by Daniel Webster, who though
not an avowed Anti-Mason, thus spoke of
the Anti-Masons of Pennsylvania especial•
ly in the United States Senate, that the par
ty shows- "itself always unwavering and
steadfast in its attachment to the Constitu
tion, in its maintenance of the authority of
law, in its love of liberty, and in its support
of the great interests and true policy of the
country."
And who is the fbarless, uncorrupted
champion of the mind's emanripation, and
of one of the pillars of American liberty,(in
telligence) in the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia? It is THADDEUS STEVENS.—
One of Pennsylvania's brightest ornaments
—one of her beloved statesmen—a man who
has burst the fetters ofobscurity and ',over
ly, and risen superior to both, and in the in
tegrity of his heart, and giant greatness of
mind, has won for himself an imperishable
mead of glory, in one of the nob:est °recluses.
Yes, here is one who has consecrated to the
good of his country, all that is "elevated in
principle," great in intellect, rich in elo
quence, and virtuous in patriotism, and
whose praise k spoken by the good and gift•
ed, and yet is disfranchised by a few, tbr it
is but a few, individuals, as one with whom
the Whigs have nothing in common, and as
estranged from their avowed and elevated
principles. Oh shame! It will not do. Bad
as the world is, - virtue has not flitted from it,
and worth will, it must he rewarded. We
hope our friends in Franklin, will see, ere
long, the prematurity of their course, and
the injustice of their denunciation. Union
ki the object of the friends of the country at
the present crisis, but denunciation will nev
er effect it. The Whigs and Anti-Masons
in Pennsylvania have no separate funda
mental interests,their desire is the "country,
the whole country and nothing hut the coun
try." Let - them rally under this motto, and
fight under the standard which bears it, anli
resolve never to 'forsake it, Wilt is plaiiteT,
in triumph on the citadel of liberty in are
deemed and regenerated state.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN
COUNTY MEETING.
In pursuance of a call, a large and respec
table meeting of citizens of the county - of
Northampton, favorable to the election of
JOSEPH RITNER, as Governor of this
Commonwealth, convened in the 011_10-
hr - ins°, 'in Easton, on Monviay afternoon, the
20th instant. The meetin , was organized
by the appointment of the following officers:
Captain SAMUEL YOIIE; giairmap,
MICHAEL LUTE, ADAM LERCHi Vice Presi.'
dents, Samuel Shit*, Samuel G. Eschen
bach, Secretaries.
On motion the following gentlemen were
appointed a committee 'to draft resolutions
expressive oldie sense of the meeting: Alex.
antler E.' Brown, Peter Anawalt, Jacob She.
rer, Michael Weaver, Jacob Apple, Robert
Newel, Jr. Geo. A. Bice, John J. Krause,
Conrad Royer, Esq. Frederick Lerch, P.,
Miller,. David Heller and George Barnet,
who, after retiring a short time reported
the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimou.,ly adopted by the
meeting:
Whereas, the right of the people to meet
together at all times in their primary as
semblies, to give a public expression of their
opinions in relation to the administratien of
the government, and conduct of their rulers,
is one of the appropriate privileges of free
men, and as all power emanates from the
people and is only delegated to the servants,
they appoint for special and well defined
purposes, the frequent and constitutional ex
ercise of this invaluable prerogative has a
direct tendency to confine their public offi
cers within the limits of their delegated au
thority, and correct the abuses, that often
times creep into the administration of their
official conduct
And whereas, this meeting views the pre
sent administration of the State government
as at war with the true interest oft he Com
monwealth, presenting to her citizens the
certain prospect of oppressive and everlast
ing taxation, that might have been avoided
by a w!se and watchfil foresight, and after
burthenin , r the State with a heavy and un
wieLly chain of internal , improvements, re
jecting means arising from the distribution
of the proceeds of the national domain, with
which the'necessity of borrowing large SUMS
ofmonov to pay the interest elan enormous
State debt, might, have been partially pre.
vented, or other benefirial objects obtained;
n erecting numerous officers, with.extrava
pant salaries, greatly disproportionate to t he
services to be rendered; and more than all,
in withholding fro - in she tax-payers informa
tion of the holders of the debt, that they
might judge, for what pin•pre:.. their hard
earnings are wrung from their pockets.
And whereng, the time of electing the
Chief Magistrate o Pennsvlvania is rapidly
approaching, for which office it is ofthe
inost itoportno6o to u!.!rt n eandidoto front
the ranks of the hard laboriv people and
Lilerrefure„Vricircr, agriculture, the OBechernie
I untrammelled by obligations to carry out to
its greatest extent the existing imprudent,
chimerical policy of the State Administra
tion; and honest, faithfid and firm enough to
I resist the corrupting foreign influence, con.
!trolling the present executive: in fine, a man
with Pennsylvania feelings,supporting Penn
sylvania interests and principles.
Thurcfore, Re:wired, That we entirely
' disapprove of the Administration of George
Wnlf. That the speculating, electioneering
schemes and chimerical measures,which he
! l a,: yearly (trued upon the Legislature, have
produced hues, which, if not repent e d, and
project , , which, if executed, will result in
consequences desamerons to our pecuniary
independence' and our political rights as
freemen.
Rewired. That in our opinion, the inter
z!sts' of the Sate have been sacrificed at the
shrine of party'aggramhzement. '['hat the
patriotic resolution ofEn'ed in our Leal9ril.
tore this session—recommending the divis
ion of the surplus revenue of the nation, and
the proceeds of the national lands, among
the several States, by the ratio of population,
was, we firmly believe, pot down by tilt_ in
fluence of a power, foreign to our grate, and
professing no legitimate right to control our
R enresen tot Ives.
Remo/red, That the nomination of JO
SEPH RITNER by the Democratic State
Convention of the 4th of March, 1Q:35, as
their candidate for Governor,meets our inns'
cordial appropriation, and the nnqui mous
vote g iven to him, by the Delegates of the
StateConventlon, is conclusive, that he is
the candidate of the people,while his talents,
virtues and sound republican principles - folly
entitle him to this distinguished mark of pub
lic flavor and confidence.
Resolved, That the union and harmony
which pervaded all the proceedings of the
Democratic Convention, affords a pleasing
and striking contrast to the violent contest
for seats between the Wolf and Muhlenberg
delegates—the stormy and angry debates of
politicians—the personal and political eruni•
ties—the intrigues and management be
tween the °Mee-holders and office-hunters—
land the . final dissolution, which characteri
zed the proceedings of the Van Buren Con
vention, and strongly recommends their
nomination of Joseph Ritner, the Washini:-
ton Farmer, to the approbation of the hon•
est, patriotic and economical people.
Resolved, That it is the solemn duty ofthe
Democratic Republican party, friendly to
the election of Joseph Ritner, throu g ho u t
the country, to be active and vigilant, re.
memhering well, that their candlilate was
in 1832 cheated out of his election by base
artifice, slander and forgery, and that no
_means, how dishonorable soever, will be left
untried, again to defeat, if it be possible, his
success to the gubernatorial chair.
Resolved, That this meeting do hi ily
approve of the independent and resolute
stand taken by the Whig party of our coun
ty, in separating themselves from a few
"keep aloof," and "noncommittal" T 7 9lf.
men under the cloak of Whigism, and in
joining with us in a radical reform of the a:
buses and injudicious waste of twenty-five
millions, and against the office holders arro
gance: they will triumph with.us next Octo.
her over the sycophantic and favorite office
holders band of George Wolf.
Roared, That this meeting pledge them
selves individually and unitedly, to support
by all constitutional and honorable means
the nomination of Jeseett Rrrxrai, made on
the 4th of March last, as the only true De
mocratic Republican candidate fbr Govern
or, being nominated after the established
usuagesofthe Democratic Republican party
of the State. '$

qecretaries.
Samuel Esckenback,
The Muhlenherg men are making a great
uproar about the corruption and extrava
gance of the State administration, and Mier
having supported George Wolf up to this
time in all his wasteful expenditure of public
money, now come out and betray the secrets
of, the party in order to secure their own ex
altation. These charges proceed with hut
little grace from their mouths, and th e i r
treachery' to their own friends will gain
them no credit with t he people; for although
great criminals.may be permitted to turn
state's evidence in order to obtain the ends
of justice, yet they cannot wash away from
their characters the stain affixed to them by
their acknowledged participation in trans
gression. Their testimony goes only in fa
vor of the opposite side. These men
,have
never flinched from backing Wolf in all his
measures; they supported him when his of
' ficial misconduct was as glaring as it is at
the present moment: their votes were cast
for him--their influence was exerted n his
behalf, when he was as fully identified with,
and as madly pursuing his race of extrava
gant expenditure as he now is, and were he
this moment to withdraw from the contest,
he would he hailed with acclamations as a
most pure and orthodox democrat—"heaven
save the mark!" Although the friends of
the backsliding parson May think themselves
wondrous crafty, yet the flimsy veil which
covers their motives and designs, is easily
penetrated. The people know that their
only reason for prescribing': ilia comrades
with whom they have uniformly acted, is
because as long as their friends stay in, thou
must remain out of office; and the sagacious
yeomanry of Pennsylvania will not fly to the
church for a political saviour so long as they
have a PAn3rmi, tried, true and heoe,t,
reform their State afThirs, and head them
safidy through their di aiculties to the broad
road of prosperity.— York Republican.

From the Crawford Mesacoger,
I 0 II RITN R
I see by the newspaper account?, that thr
Washington county -farmer, Josn R IT
NEU, k again befbre-the public, as n candi
date for Governor of this Commonwealth;
he is brought lbrward and laid before the
people, by the unanimous voice of a Con
vention of delegates selected by the people,
from the several counties of the State, .111(1
convened at Harrisburg on 4th of March,
last.
This unanimity is not only flattering to
Mr. Ritner, but is a strong presage of the
triumph of principle on the 2d Tue?day of
October next, the frienth of this gentleman
have not brow , ht him forward as a party
man, as belonging to this or that party; but
because ho has all three of the requisites
required by Jefl;!rson, to fill the office for
which he now stands a candidate; to wit:
"he is honest, lie is capable, and he is a
friend to the Constitution." That ho is a
politician I have no doubt, this is necessary
to qualify him for the station to which the
people wish to elect him, and we are prowl
that he has u niformly avowed himself the
friend, the supporter, and has proved him
self the defimder of the principles ofa Jetrer
son, a Madison, and a Monroe; the princi
ples inculcated by these men have been the
lamp which has lighted up the path of Mn-.
Hillier and his friends; neither he, nor they,
bow at the shrine of any individual denia•
gogue. The pleasure which all good men,
actuated by a sincere desire, to see the pro
motion of the best interest of the State,must
feel on the score of public considerations, is
greatly eidianced by a knowledge of the
private worth of the individiml, and a respeCt
aineuntineto aMction for his pure personal
character,
The people of the State have nothing to
fear, but every thing to expect from the
election of Mr. Ittmna, as a friend to in
ternal unprovement ho has had but one
straight forward course, from which he has
never deviated, he has not been one thing to
day, and a second and third thing to-morrow,
lie has not shifted his sail to every Point of
compass to catch the popular breeze, he
took his stand when Pennsylvania first em
barked in the career of her improvement, he
was then found among the foremost to press
forward with energy the public unproveinent
of his native State, he is the same now—he
is emphatically the people's candidate—he
is selected from the ranks of the people, he
has never held any public station but what he
has been selected to by the people, and we
believe the people will elect him to the au.
bernatorial chair, on the 2d Tuesday of Oc.
tober next. PENN.

finding themselves. Thus to Louisville the
deck passage is $3, cabin 12; to New Or
leans deck, 5, cabin 85. The deck is cov.
ered and contains berths, but it is a very nn.
desirable way of travelling. The passage
to Louisville is generally perflirmed in 2.! !
days, and to Net' Orleans in from 8 to 10;
returning, .nearly double this time. The
ordinary speed of the boats is 12 miles an

Ant GUNS.--A young gentleman of Cin.
cionati has nearly completed an Air Gun,
which he thinks will sill - wet:de all other
gins; it is so constructed that by turning it
crank, which can be done by a boy, it will
discharge sixty balls per minute, and that
with a three of 130 pounds on each ball,
ouhle the force of a rifle ball; tho
balls aced in a funnel on the top of tho
gun from which they run in as fast as they
are discharged.
Supposing an army of 20,000 men should
take the field against an enemy, every sol
dier equipped with such wind arms instead
of fire gems , and suppoyiug 'hut each mini of
them should discharge his blower" sixty
times per minute, and supposing, further
more, that each discharge should take mor
tal cOct and kill its man, what a dreadful
havoc there would be! One hundred and
twenty thousimil slain per minute! What an
i n . •ovement in modern science! With such
provement war would be but a short
). None of your protracted ten year
sieges. In a tithe ol• the time, the one half
of the human race could kill oil the other
half, without the "villainous smell" of gun
powder. The young man should by all
means take out letters patent.--Pills.
New 310 OF OF PITNISIIMEINT.—ThC fol.

SLANDER.---At the Circuit Court holden
1 1 last week before the Chief Justice, at Free
hold, in Monmouth county New - Jersey,
Miss Ann Honor recovered againk Thomas
C. Harrison, Esq., a Justice of the Peace,
$2OOO damages, for slanderous words re
peatedly spoken of her by, him. So bald
was his case of every circumstance that
'could in the least excuse or mitigate his con
duct, that his counsel with great propriety
refused to address the Jury in his defence.
ANOTHER RAIL ROAD.--A company of
individuals, residing principally in Boston,
have obtained from the Florida Legislature
a charter for a Rail Road from St. Augus
tine, or some other point on the Eastern
coast of Florida, across the country to some
point on the Western coast, probably the
mouth of the Suwanee River. The compa
ny is composed of wealthy men, who are
determined to complete the Rail Road as

honorable to his heed and heart.

"When the time to take a stand arrives,

Late and important from France.
The Packet Ship Silvio de Grassie, Capt.
Weiderholdt, arrived at Now York on Mon
day from Havre, whence she sailed on the
2d of April, bringing Paris papers down to
March 81st,
The Report of the committee on the sub-
ject of the American Claims was made on
the 29th. We avail ourselves of the ab
stract which we find in Galignani's Messen
ger, together with a sketch of the debate
which tiillowed. It will he seen that the
Coonnittee have reported in favor of the
ratification of the Treaty. The general
discussion of the bill to this efThet, was post
poned to the 7th of April, in order to give
time for .the report and documents to be
printed. As yet we see nothing unfavorable
to the passage of the bill.
Advices from Now York have been re
ceived at Paris via England, to March 3d,
containing the last published correspondence
between Mr. Forsyth the Secretary of State
at , Washington, and Mr. Livingston, the
Minister of America at Paris; between. the
former and M. Si'rrurier, French Minister
to the United States, and between Mr. Liv

PARIS, Tuesday morning, March 31
Mr. Livingston is preparing to loave Par
is. He has no recent advices from our go
vernment, the packet of the Ist inst. by
which he expects them, not having arrived
at Havre. The accounts via England,how
ever, show the state of things at IVashing
ton, and Mr. L. has determined to proceed
to Holland, to wait their issue,and for further
instructions. Ho still seems confident that
the Chamber of Deputies will pass the bill
of indemnity, after the discussion to take
place next week. There is ground to hope
that it may.
n — There have been two arrivals from
Europe, of a later date than the above. By
the first of which we learn that the British
Ministers were signally defeated on the Irish
Church Question, on the morning of the 3d

go into Committee, to consider the propriety
of appropriating any church property sur

discussion thereon continued until 3 o'clock
