(KrThe "Democratic Herald" of Ph:la-
Attalphia,• a thorough-going Van Buren paper,

good character of Democracy. Is this wise

to the. whole party, that those who profess
to be brethren of the same principle, chould
be mutually laboring to prove that those
principles are bad—and that the party to
Which they are attached, is unworthy of
the confidence and support of the People?
We are determined not to participate in
this disreputable squabble. We will have
nothing to do with the personal qualities of

them. Choose whether you will again give
whinges to ono whom you have already
twice elected, and whose administration
has yielded you nothing but bitter regrets,
and exhibited but little besides a shameless
waste of the people's taxes to secure his re
election. Whether you will call to preside
over:the destinies of the commonwealth, a
mere trader in politics, an advocate of in•
trigue, and the deserter of the pulpit for the
sake ofserving his own ambitious purposes,
or whether you will elevate to the office of
chief ruler, a man, as remarkable for the
simplicity and plainness, of his manners as
for the soundness of his judgement and the
honesty of his heart. We think there can
be no hesitation—"no halting between two
opinions." The indications of the times
point out Joseph Ritnor, as the only choice
the great majority of the people can make
with safety to the State.
PENNSYLVANIA.—The Whigs of Beaver
county, (Pa.) have passed a resolution with.
drawing the 'name of Gen. Lacock, and
concurring in the nomination of JOSEPH Rxr-
DIER, of Washington county, as the sole
Whig candidate for Governor of that, state,
at the gencial election, in October next.
The Pittsburg Gazette, in noticing those
proceedings, states, that, with a single . ex
ception (that of the Pittsburg Advocate) the
Whig papers West of the Allegheny moun
tains are now all for Rimer. Such being
the case, it is hardly to be doubted that the
Farmer of Washington county will beat
both Wolf and "Muhlie," with ease.—Bul
timore Patriot.
MITUILENBERG STOCK,
Is evidently on the fall. Speculators
hove lowered their tone, and are willing to
get rid of the scrip below par. Several
accidents, of late, upon the.line, have stag
gered the knowing ones in the firmness of
the superstructure. One Fisher, of Ches
ter county, who was a careful and a good
driver, dashing too fiercely round a curse,
upset his apple cart, and will have to abide
one term, at least, out of employ. A bro
ther whip in Adams county, has shared the
same fate, and is crying out lustily in favor
of being employed two terms more.---lan.
caster Journal.
A SIGN.—Tho Richmond Enquirer of
the 2nd inst. in speaking of the nominations
made by the Baltimore Convention, says—
" For ourselves, we shalt go for Martin Van
Buren, as President of the U. States—but
NOT for Richard M. Johnson, as Vice-Pre.
sident. With all our respect for this gen.
leman,we cannot support him for that office."
It must be remembered, that the Enquirer
is tho leading Van Buren paper in. Virginia.
A .9.110 RT STOEV.—Jackson says to Van
Buren, "I'll make you my successor"—Ken
dall says to Jackson, "make Van Buren take
Dick Johnson on the ticket with him as Vice
President." "He shall do it," gays the old
chief—and forthwith several hundred office
holders, hungry expectants, political fortune
hunters and idlers of all denominations,with
long ears, meet at Baltimore and cry orrro
to what Gen. Jackson has already said, and
this is called DEMocnicr and the "vows OF
THE PEOPLE!!" What a humbug.[N. YStar.
. A NEW AntsTociincv.—The Rev. H. A.
Muhlenbeig, now a candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania, belongs to one of the most
office.lovin e ,d families of the State. From
the year 1700 to , the present time, one or
another of the family has constantly been
before the people as n candidate for office.
He is called a "democratic candidate," and
yet his brother-in-law, John Spayd was one
of the federal competitors, of Simon Sny
der; and he is son•in•law ofJoseph Hiester,
three years Governor of this commonwealth.
Parson Muhlenborg was educated for the
Church, and was orained a minister of the
Gospel; but finding that his ambitiOn was
restricted, and having grown rich by matri
monial speculations, he deserted the sacred
office and violated the solemn vows under
which he had come to officiate at the altar,
and is now struggling to lift himself high in
political preferment. In order to gain this
object, he is lavishly spending his money in
establishing presses and purchasing parti
zans; and having disposed at a high premi
um of his HUNDRED Shares of the U.
States Bank Stock, (which had prevented
him from voting against that Institution) he
is applying the ••proceeds to the purposes of
corruption. He is endeavoring by means of
his money to plate himself on the necks of
the people, and after having got into his pos.
session the keys of their strong box, he will
amply remunerate himself for all his expen-
di'ures. Will the people minister to the
ambition of this office-seeking and aristo
cratic family? Will they have confidence in
a man who has violated his most solemn
vows to heaven? Will they suffer themselves
to be bought with his money? They will not
—they will elect the "Washington County
Farmer" Governor, and the foresworn priest
will be lower on the return than even the
spendthrift lawyer.—York Republican.
A REPORT.--IR ►s said that Col. Johnson
promised to supply thirty of the bachelors
who voted for his nomination as Vice Presi
dent, with mates—interesting copper color
ed beauties, all members of the gallant col

the cabinet when Van and he take ofEce,and
if Martin pleases , him ho may probably be
induced to spare a Philis or a Dinah for a

Mt. Muhlenberg, on some occasion, in
congress, rose and said, “Mr. Speaker, I
call ,the previous question!" This his sup
porters refer to as the alpha and omega,
the beginning and the end, the sum and
substance of all his pObtic services. During
the whole, time that he has been in the House.
of Representatives, they have pointed to no
other act of his, on which to rest his claims
to the office of GoVernor. There was one
other occasion ou which lie made abrilliant
display of his talents and his disinterested.
ness, but tO which- jueulimists never
tingly refer; and that was, when he begged
to be excused from voting against the 'un
constitutional monster,' which was sapping
the-foundation of our liberties, because he

WASHINGTON CITY,
EAST ROOM', Saturday, May 23.
To Major JACK DowNiso, editor of the Downing
Gazette, Portland, away down east in the State
of Maine.
DEAR COUSIN JACK—We got through
our Baltimore Convention last night, and
glad enough was I, for we had more bother
about it than a little, I should have writ you
last week, if the Gineral had'ut been in sich
a fever, and kept me running after the delta
gates nil the time as they come along from
Virginny and other places, to see if they
were right, so I . couldn't get a minute's time
to write. The Gineral told me I must go
and stick by the Convention till they got
through, and if any thing was likely to hap
pen to break up Mr. Van Buren's nomina
tion I must send an express on to'him and
he would come and clear em all out and pack
em off home it they would'nt go straight.
Well, - says 1, General, you know there's
two sets of democratic delegates from Penn
sylvany,-the Wolfies and the Mulies, what
shall we do with them? which set shall we
let vote? Says the Gineral, says he, that's
bothered me a good deal ever since I see
two sets appointed to come from Pennsylva
nia, and I dont know how we are geing . to
got over it. You had better step over and
ask Mr. Van I3urea what is best to he done.
So I went and asked Mr. Van Buren about
it. He scratched his head and studied up
on it 'a few minutes, and at last says he,
Sargent Joel, you must tell the Convention
to let the Wolfies and the Mulies both veto,
for we must save Pennsylvany at all events,
and so wo must take care not to affront any
of em.
Well;" after we got matters all cut and
dried, and the day for the Convention came
along, I started elite Baltimore. .We got
Mr. Stevenson in for President of the Con
vention, and things loolted as if they were
going along pretty smooth, till the Pennsyl
vany trouble came Lip, and then there begun
to be a harrycane and I was afraid we was
ageing to have a rough time of' it. But af
ter I told'ena how Mr. Van Buren thought it
was best to work it, it smoothed away pret
ty - donsiderably calm, and they finally voted
to let the Wolfies and Malies all come in
and take a part with the rest of us.
When they come to vote for President I
felt a little streaked for fear how it would
come out; for when I came to look round
and see how many .strange faces there was
there, folks that never see or heard of each
other before, I couldn't help feeling afraid
that there might be good many of em that
wouldn't vote for the true democratic re
publican candidate. I was afraid there
might be so many of em after Judge White,
or Webster, or Clay, or Calhoun, or some
chap or other, that Mr. Van Buren might
have a tough match to get the vote. And
when they went round and took the votes
and got all ready to read em of my heart
was all tiptoe right up in my mouth. And
when they read it off, whole. number of
votes for the President 2(15, and Martin Van
Buren has every ono of em," if 1 didn't jump'
up like a catamount and clap my hands and
stamp like wildfire,l'm mistaken. Icouldn't
help hollering right out, if this is'nt a gen
uine full blooded democratic republican con
vention,there never was one in all creation.
The democratic candidate got every single
veto. I haint seen the Gineral so tickled
about any thing never since I've been to
Washington.
When they came to vote for Vice Presi
dent they did'nt get along so smooth. There
was a good deal of scrabbling about it.—
The Virginny folks wanted to have Mr.
Rives, and declared they would'nt have any
body else. But the Sunday mail 'fellers
were round as fairce as lions for 111,-John
son. And when They come to vote, Col.
Johnson got it. The Virginny chaps were
awful mad about it, and declare they never
will 'vote for Dick Johnson if it breaks up
the whole republican party. I dont know
how it will come out, but I rather guess they
will have to swallow it yet. I had made
my mind long ago not to sten for Vice Pre- .
sident if I wasn't ,nominated long with Mr.
Van Buren, so now I decline being,ft candi
date. I havn't time to tell you any more to
day, but will soon.
Your loving cousin.
SARGENT JOECDOIVNING.
The editor of a paper in the South ex
presses an apprehension that there will be
an union between Judge White and Col.
Johnson. He may dismiss his fears. The
Colonel's aversion to any thing white will
not allow of any such amalgamation. If
Judge Black of Mississippi were to unite
with the Colonel the alliance might be con
sidered more in accordance with the taste
'of the latter.—Fred. Bram.
BEING BORN AGAIN.—One ofthe Boston
'papers relates the- following anecdote in
such a manner as to say . to every reader,
disbelieve it if you dare:
A little boy, after listeaing to. a sermon .
on the absolute necelisity of . being horn a
gain to he saved hereafter, returned home .
much afflicted, and with tears in his eyes,
told his dear mother—"l did not like the
sermon, and ma, I don't want to be born
over again, for who knows but I -might then
be a gal."
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
A young lady, named Miss MARY JANE
SLAOLE, aged 14 years, in running down a
hill in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pa., a few
days since, tripped, and_ fell bead.foremost
against a rock, shattering her jaw and break
ing her neck. Her death was instantaneous.
Woot,--.- The Washington (Pa.) Reporter
of the V 451 inst. says: "Lots of wool, grading
between 7-Bths and full blood, have been
sold during the past week at 56 cents per lb.
The prices now offered range from 33 to 60
cents. At the vendue of James Gilmore,
Esq. deceased, the wool sold at 57 cents per
lb. the grade being between 7-Sths and bill
blood, and the sheep as follows—weathers
$1,50 por head; weathers and ewes with
lambs $5."
THE RIOTIT or SUFFRACE.—We learn
from the Detroit papers that, on the 28th
ult., the Convention to form a Constitution
for the State of Michigan, established the
qualifications of voters at all elections to be
held in the New State. Tne right of suf.
frage is extended to all white male inhab.
itants above the age of twenty-one years,
who have resided two years in the United
States, and six months in the state. Inhab
itants not naturalized, and not now residents
in the state, are required to renounce their
allegiance to any foreign state, and to de
clare their intention to become citizens,
before they can vote. But all inhabitants
above the age of twenty.one, who resided
in Michigan on the fourth of April last, are
always hereafter entitled to vote at all elec
tions.
It is' stated that the subscription to the
Bank of South Carolina, the books of which
were opened on the Ist inst. in Charleston,
amounted to twenty millions of dollars, and
it was supposed that ten millions would be
added the next day. Capital, two millions
ofdollars, with authority to increase it to
lour millions.
TILE DISASTER AT MEMPIIIS.--The
Memphis (Te.) Givetto of the 21st ult.
contains a detailed account of the steamboat
disaster that recently occurred at that place.
It seems that there were 73 pas.3engors on
board at the time of the accident—compris
ing mon, women and children—deck hands
and crew. Thirteen had already died, and
it is supposed that about the same number
wore drowned.
THE Cnors.--We are soriy to learn,
from the Frederick Herald of Saturday,
that the prospect of the wheat crop in that .
great wheat.growing country are so dis
couraging. The extreme backwardness of
the Spring has had a tendency to made the
winter grain looks worse than it really is:
and we yet hope that the anticipations of
evil as to the coming harvest, may . not be
fully realized. Tho Herald states on the
authority of intelligent and observant far:
mers that froth the present appearances of
the wheat crop in that county, not more
than half the usual average crop will be se
cured. The cause of the falling off is attri
buted to the very severe and protracted
weather, during which the wheat was either
'frozen out' or 'blown out' of the ground,
leaving large sections almost entirely bare.
In some few instances, the wheat fields had
been ploughed up, and planted with Indian
corn. The latter, it seems, has also sufier
ed greatly from the cutworm; but the Rye
is represented as quite promising, and the
crops of Clover, Grass,. Potatoes, and Fruit,
with the exception of peaches, bid fair to be
unusually abundant.
DEATII OF COMMODORE HENLEY.—We
regret to state that Commodore Jolts D.
HENLEY, commandvr of the U. S. West
India squadron, departed this lite at Havana,
on the 23d of May. The U. S. sloop • of.war
Vandalia sailed on the following day for
Pensacola, with his remains.
RAIL ROADS.—The . Philadelphia Inqui
rer of Saturday last, contains a plat of the
route of the Oxford Rail Road. It connects
by the Cecil Rail• Road, with the Baltimore
and Port. Deposit Rail Road at Port Depos
it°. and strikes the Columbia Rail Road
45 miles from Philadelphia by this route,
will be 118 miles. There is now a com
plete line of railway from Washington to
Boston, (ono interval from Trenton to Bruns
wick,) in a train to be accomplished at a
very early day. Who shall set bounds to
the enterprise and resources of our. country?
There is a common saying, "It will be all
the same an hundred years hence,"—and a
deal of true philosophy is there in the pro
verb. How insigniticant appear all the
quarrels and clashing interests, and opposing
plans and strokes of outwitting policy, and
shrewd diplomacy, which agitate us now,
when we consider that a hundred years
hence" the result, whatever it may he, of
all turmoil will nut then be felt by those
who will then be upon the stagel,-- The de
cendants of Charles I of England. and
Oliver Cromwell intermarried in the fourth
degree.
WILMINGTON AND SUSQUEHANNA RAIL
ROAD.-It is stated in the Delaware Gaz
ette, that the-Whole line of the Wilmington
and - Susquehanna Rail Road has been put
under contract. There was, it seeins, an
unusual degree of competition, in the pro
posals for contracts on this road; and the
conseqnence has been that the work is like.
•ly to be completed for a sum considerably
less • than was at first contemplated. At
least $50,000 are supposed to have been
saved on the original estimates of the en
gineer.
SANDY ..17.11) BEAVER CANAL.-WO learn
from the Beaver (Pa.) Argus, of Wednes•
day lasi, that active operations are about
to be commenced on this important public
improvement, intended to connect the canal
systeins of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Twen
ty miles of the line, divided into 30 or 40
sections, aro to be put under contract, pro
posals for which will be received until the
23(1 inst. It is added that the directors are
determined to use all practicable despatch
in the prosecution of the work, and that their
expectation is, to complete the whole line
in the course of a couple of years—or dur
ing the year 1837. By the same period, it
may be expected, that other important link
—the SUSQUEHANNA CANAL, will also be
completed.

Oz:7-We entirely concur in the sentiments
contained in the following article from the
New York Commercial, which precedes the
publication of the address of Col. FrNLEit, of
Baltimore, to the constituted authorities 'of
New York, which appeared in the Star last
week:—
A PEEP INTO TAINNIANY HALL.
The following excellent "address to .the
corporate authorities of New York," by two
highly respectable gentleman'of the bar,
who were lately on a visit to this city from
Baltimore, deserves and - will receive the at
tention -and thanks of every husband and fa
ther, worthy of these hallowed names, in our
whole community. It is a just exposition
of the principles and practice of a large, and
we are ashamed to say, a growing sect of
unblushing INFIDELS, who meet at Tamma
ny Hall and Other places every Sunday, for
the purpose of profaning the Sabbath, re.
viling the Bible, satirizing Christianity, and
mouthing the heavens with the most daring
blasphemy. They arrogate the name of
"Free Enquirers," and the following facts
will show the character of their FREEDOM.
They boast "liberal principles," and thus
exhibit them in practice.
They haVe been again and again exposed
in their true character by the press and oth
ers of our city, and their champions have
been publicly met in debate, and confound.
ed before the power of light and truth, by a
nuniber of the friends Of good order and de
cency, who have, like CA, Finley and Gen.
Williamson, met them on their own ground,
though it seems in this instance, physical
force was resorted to, to maintain what rea
son dared not attempt:
A friend at our elbow, who knows both
the gentlemen personally, whose names are
signed to the address, assures us that they
are men of high and patriotic principles, and
-unflinching integrity. And if our city au
thorities will contintie to permit those moral
incendiaries to pollute the fountains of our
social system within the sound of their Tem
plc) of Justice, on each succeeding Sabbath,
it is fit that the spontaneous rebuke and re
monstrance of strangers should be heard
when as American citizens they have been
thus out raged, for the exer
. ise of one of their
inviolable rights.
From the "lulu&!pith]. Inquirer.
The News from France.
We have Liverpool dates to the first of
May, and Paris to the 25th of April. The
intelligence with regard to the American
Indemnity is less encouraging than we had
reason to expect, although we still cherish
the hope that the affair will be amicably
adjusted. The bill was to be taken up by
the Chamber of Peers for its final action on
the 27th ofA pril. It was believed that there
would be little or no opposition to it in that
House. One of the papers mentions that
Gen. Bernard will be despatched to this
country to receive the President's "APOL.
OGY!" A London paper of the 29th, says
—“We learn from the Paris papers that
Mr. Livingston, the An Minister, had
not yet left that capital. Though much
speculation had been hazarded on.the- sub.
ject, it did not appear that any thing Certain
as to the:-exact time of his departure, had
transpired. However, preparations had
been making for some time at the hotel of
the embassy, which indicated than it would
not be• long before he should set out; to
which must be added the stay of_the Con.
stitution; American frigate, in the roadsted
of Havre. But the smile uncertainty which
existed as to the,period of his leaving, con.
tinued to prevail with respect to the feelingS
he ehould take with him; and, .but for the
tirade which appeared some time since in
the Journal des - Debuts, against that diplo.
matist, it would be matterof doubt, whether
he was
,satit.fkd, or, not, with the treatment
he had recently received ut the bandsofthir
French Government.
The Courrier FrancaDO says:—"Mr.
Livingston loudly atiaorts that neither the
present President. or A merica nor his sun
cessor, whoever ho may be, will consent to
retract or explain the message of President
Jackson, and that, moreover, his (Mr. Liv
ingston's) return to Americh would in alt
likelihood be followed by the passage of a
non 7 intercourse bill with regard to-France."
Surely our Minister has not been so unwise!
The London Times 'of the 29th says:—•
"The communication 'to he made by the
Government to the Chamber of Peers, as
announced in the Moniteur, was expected to
treat on the American question in a tono
which, as interpreted by the fears of specu
lators, would be likely to lead to a rupture."
In the Chamber of Deputies on the 17th of
April, one of the members said:—
"Gentlemen, in a discussion which, has
recently taken place in Congress, Mr. Clay
said that the letter sent by the French Min
ister, had excited some angry reelings to
wards him on the part of the Secretary of
State, to whom it was addressed. The
French Minister is now returned, and must
have given an account to his government of
what may have taken place on this occasion.
M. the Duke de Broglie (with much ani
mation and emotion.) The Minister of
France to the United States in withdraw

Mn. ETUTOII,
Just as waS to have been expected. No
sooner did the brilliant star of the swarthy
crew a rr i ve i n Gettysburg, from his tour to
the Lewistown imposition, than the "Com
piler" paper, by one of the same class, teem
with petty effusions so characteristic of both
the Editor and the smooth greasy face Doc
tor of Law, who has brought himself into
notice more by his impudence and the ex
position of his ignorance, than by his merit,
against me for having,given what was noth
ing more than a fair exhibition of those facts
applicable alone to them. And that they
aroftzcis, tncontrovertible, none can dobbt;
for had it been otherwise, they would have
been denied, or shaped fbr party purposes
long ere thib. But in the absence of all
facts already stated, and independent of W
iner feeling. I most sincerely sympathise
with the Editor who, from the pathetic lan
guage which he uses in his editorial article,
seems to haVO followed the brainless gander
so far as to fall headlong into the same mire
of political disorganization, from which no
pardoning pmo.er can ever extricate him,
but where he must remain bedaubed with
the green filth of political disaffection—a
Continual warning to all political dema
gogues!
The Editor commences his 'article by
saying, that what was said in the Star, in
reference to him, was dictated by me, word
ed, and shaped by the present Prothonotary,
and in that manner those articles, or com 7
munications, were published by the Editor
of the Star. That this is a faliehood, re
sorted to by men whose cause is a desperate
one, and who treat truth as a shameless
blackguard—that it is absurd and redieu
boas, becoming alone such characters as
Lawyer quack, and the puny Editor of the.
"Compiler," none who have the least regard.
for character and honesty will pretend to
doubt. The assertion carries upon its very
face such a firm Conviction of its falsehood,
that it will recoil back and rankle the heat
ed bosom, and blast the fair prospects of the
muddled brain from whence it issued.
,
As regards the first question, which is
asked by the Editor of the Compiler, in re
ference to the present Prothonotary, I have
only to say, that if such a course was pur
sued by Mr. Ziegler, it is not so reckless a
one as that pursued by the dictator to the
Editor of the Compiler, who, dissatisfied
with Mr. Wolf having a decided majority
in the 4th of March Convention, was com
pelled to have recourse to the .Lewistown
humbug in order to establish . his old feder
al principles, and secure the nomination
of the num who. had the hardihood to for
sake the' pulpit, and who is now grabling for
office!
Secondly.—lf so, that Mr. Ziegler "vio
lently opposed" the present incumbent, from
the spring of 1830 until the summer of 1832:.
he still was perfectly consistent in, his course
--because it was through the misrepresea.
tation of facts, and in consequence of the
desperate falsehoods of men who now num
ber four in, the Muhlenberg phalanx, that
he was ousted out of the office which lie then
held. He then opposed Mr. Wolf upon the
plain and simple ground of the 'rejection of
his claim, without any . just or reasonable
cause, which were, judging from the peti
tioners. themselves, considered to be of, no
small importance. , An exposition, of the ,

ed - course pursued, in order to secure the
appointment of a particular person who was
an applicant for the same office at' the same' -
time... .Mr. Ziegler then became convii.ced
that the-blame could not be,nttached to Mr.
Wolf, for he 'acted tiller' the representations
of those who pretended to be his friends, but
who have since showed their button teak.'
Consequently, inconsistency lays not here.

duced by the expectation of receiving the
office of Prothonotary, but from pure me
tives---seeing the error which he had fallen
into, drawn as a natural conclusion fromthe
outer appearance of the action, and the prin
ciples upon which it was founded, he retrac
ed his steps, and became the supporter of
him to whom no blame could be attached.
Fourthly.—Whether Mr. Ziegler made
use of the language as stated in the fourth
inquiry or not, it is impossible for me to tell.
But if it is so, then it must have been done
while he was yet acting under the belief
that the course of Mr. Wolf was not alto
gether proper, or before the exposition of
the falsehoods made use of to render him as
odious in the sight of the Governor, as the
Muhlenborg men have rendered themselves
at the present time, in the sight of all Demo.
crats. The Editor of the Compiler can
probably tell whether the expression was
used before or after.
Fifthly.—ln answer to the sth inquiry,
I can say, that it is good evidence of De
mocracy, to have Communications published
in an opposition paper, when pretended Dem
ocratic Editors refuse to do it. And al
though the Editor of the Star, and myself
difleir in opinion respecting many political
questions, yet he seems, by his willingness
to publish the Communications, to be pos
sessed of more true Democracy, than the
Editor of the "Compiler"—for he thereby
discards the idea, and abhors the thought
of stifling the voice of any 'individual,
Tuovuu TIE BE A POLITICAL OPPONENT.
The manner in which the inquiry, con
tained in my first communication is answer-
ed; is as shabby as the head which conceiv
- ed it, or the twinge which expressed it.--
Because Doctor Burden done so and so in
the 4th of March Convention, all the .town
ships in the county of Adams should not be
represented!!! Truly, Jacob, this is a way of
getting rid of the subject no common man
would have thought of, much less your own
ignorant self! One more inquiry—Who is
your informant? This world is greatly given
to lying!
In respect to the course of Mr. Burden
in the Convention, my opinion is, that it is
marked with more consistency than .the
. learned dictator who guides tliiS Editor of
the Compiler. He was appointed by those
to whom the PEOPLE in their primary as
semblies gave the power of filling all vacan
cies which might happen between that time
and the meeting of the_ Convention; and in
- this consists the material difference between
the Muhlenbergers and the supporters of
Mr. Wolf—for the former met in Conven
tion appointed by three or four persons, who
never consulted the people at all in reference
to it! Dr. Burden being appointed as he
was, the legality of his seat cannot be ques
tioned.
He who has not sense enough to write
an -editorial paragraph without the assis
tance of that most profound, eloquent and
distinguished LAWYER a small star when
in a large one out of the Lewistown Con
vention, should talk as little about "gump
tion" as he does about durance vqe. Long
bristled grunts should not set so high!
If the Editor of the "Compiler" makes a
bet of the-kind- he professes, in reference to
the vote in the Millerstown district, I can
assure him, he wilt not have an opportunity
of either sucking or putting in his pocket
"the cent's worth of mint stick."
The Editor of the "Compiler," and "A
Democrat and no Swiss," it appears, whistle
through the same quill, and are labouring
hard, particularly the latter, in hie late epis
tles to the public, to show that George Zie
gler acted with the Anti-Masonic party
from the spring of 1830, until within a few
weeks previous to the election of 1832,when
he joined the Democratic party through the
promise of office. This assertion carries on
its very face a conviction of fidsehood. Eve
ry person must know, who is acquainted
with Mr. Ziegler's political course, that he
never has deviated from the path ofDemoc.
racy; but that he did differ in opinion with
a few of the would-be-leaders and drirera-of
the Democratic party last fall in placing
Mr. Patterson, an Anti-Mason, on the De
mocratic ticket, for Assembly, to the great
injury of the party, is not denyed.
"A Democrat and no Swiss" had better
open his Books and examine his own ac
counts for consistency—where, I have no
doubt, he may find the true cause or his late
reward.. And as for the Editor of the "Com
piler," his accounts, in a political way, have
been well "added up" of late.

MR. MIDDLETON,
Permit mo, through your columns, to ask
the Editors and Managers of the Compiler
and its twtn•sisier, (or brother—its difficult
to tell of which species it is,) as they have
whined a great deal about the removal of
John B. Clark, if they dare to come out and
tell the people the true and prominent cause
of such removal? Will you, gentlemen—
dare you do it?

O - Just as we were about commencing
to press off the Star this morning, we caught
one of the Masonic papers of the Borough
containing the Returns of the late election
for Military Officers. We admire the spir
it which prompted the Brigade Inspector
withholding them from us, about as
much as the people have his qualifications
for the office he at present holds!
0:7 - Our readers are referred to the ad
vertisement of the "NEw-Yonit Alinnon,"
one of the best literary publications_ of the
day. A copy can be seen at this office.
07 - The "Republic of Letters" will here
after be Edited by Mrs. A. H. NICHOLAS,
who will receive the advice of W. Irving,
G. C. Verplunck, E. Everett and C. F.
Hoffman. The first number of the Second
Volume has been received, and is considera
bly improved, both in size and execution. It
can be seen by calling at this office.
KrOur readers are reterred to another
column for the patriotic proceedings of the
TRUE Whigs of Beaver. He who loves his
country and the preservation of her dearest
institutions 7 -who never bows to the majesty
of party—and ever willing to sacrifice party
and personal predilections for the good of
his country, is in truth, in heart and in soul,
a Wino—a true Whig. Of this character
are those whose proceedings we have' this
day the satisfaction of laying before our
readers. What is there that debars their
brethren in this county from taking a simi
lar stand? Will their organ inform us why .
it does not follow the noble example set it
by older and abler Journals of the Whig
party?
O::7 — The semi-devils of the People's Press
have commenced their .summer campaign
against Mr. STEVENS. Like other serpents,
their venom increases as the dog-days ap
proach. Those who are acquainted with
them and the gentleman whom they attack,
must pity the creatures. His great and
increasing popularity throughout the State,
is to them worm-wood and gall: Virtue and
merit always inflame Envy. Malignity is
increased by favors bestowed on the un
grateful. We 'presume Mr. Stevens will
not onfCr the lists with such opponents.—
We certainly shall not. No cleanly ani
mal ever attacked a POLECAT without get
ting the worst of the battle, even while he
slew his enemy!
OtrThe "People's Press" and "Compi
ler" are attempting to involve the people of
this county in a Religious controversy! IN
TIIIS TIIEY WILL FAIL. The Anti-Masons
of Adams county are too intelligent to be
deceived by such Demagogues. All Anti-
Masons will act together, without quarrell
ing about creeds and confessions. This
we leave to such pious men as the Editors
of those papers.
o*^Tor the good of himself, we would
advise the Senior Editor of the "Press" to
administer a few dozes of Seidhtz's powders
to his Junior companion in political iniquity.
If the thing keeps on at the rate it has com
menced, it will not last through the dog.
days! Keep it cool, for your own sake,friend!
(*lt is a hard matter to squeeze wind
out of some things. We have, however,
squeezed the "dolt" of the Compiler so
hard, that he is compelled to say, "plainly,"
that if "permitted to attend the election,"
he will vote for the Right Reverend Henry
Augustus Aluhlenberg, the candidate of the
"CIIIIIICII AND STATE" party! Oh! INORAT

true. Mr. Ritner does not, nor never did
scout at religion. Far from it. Those
who started the charge, have long since
been, proven perjured knaves; and he who
renews it at this day, will be thought little
better, if not worse.

only to point to his conduct for proof. If
be was sincere in his reverence for the pre
cepts ofißeligion, would he ever have de.i
scended from the pulpit, laid aside his sacred
robo and nroted with the world, and accepted
of political office? And yet these things he
has done!
I:Ki'it is not our province, Editorially, - to
step between the friends of Gov. Wolf aged
their revilers; but common justice, proniiii
us to say, that the charges preferred against
Mr. Ziegler viz: that to "obtain office, he
has vilified and abused his best friends, and
courted and invoked the aid of his worst ene
mies, and turned traitor to his party and po
litical friends"—is undoubtedly a libel upon
his character and consistency. Ho is now
what he was when wo first became acquain
ted with him: afirnz, consistent Democratic.
We opine it must be the 'dolt' of the Compi
ler and his present friends, who have "turn
ed traitors" to Democracy, and not Mr.
Ziegler. A t least, from the company into
which they have fallen there is some ground
for suspicion. They begin to look very
much like being all Crows—the real genu
ine Johnson follows!
(The "Democratic Herald," devoted
to the interests of Van Buren, and which has
the name of both Muhlenborg and Wolf at
its head, in 'an article on the election for
Governor, makes the folloWing acknowl
edgement:—
"We are constrained to acknowledge that
this break in the party ; seems to dispel near
ly all hopes of the election of Mr. Wolf or
Mr. Muhlenberg—and to direct an uncom
mon share of attention to Mr. Ritner—in
whom we have more confidence, and towards
whom we feel a more ardent attachment than
is strictly compatible with our political and
party attitude."
This is an honest confession, and our ar
dent wish is that the Editor would break
the fetter§ which the Magician has, in an
unguarded moment, thrown around him,
and come to the help of the people. This
wo are confident he will yet do, if he will
only examine the principles and the man
whom he at present prefers for Governor.
In the same article from which the above
extract is taken, the Editor observes, that
ware it not for the intervention of National
Politics, Mr. Ritner would receive hiS sup
port as readily as any other candidate. We
candidly ask him, why should National Poli
tics intervene when the Presidential elec.
tion is to take place better than a year after
the election for Governor?
That National should not interfere with .
State - politics, so far as the friends 01 . Mr.
Ritner were concerned, they absolutely took
measures, in the State Convention in March
last, of avoiding every semblance of any
thing that would connect State with Nation.
al politics. Even the appointment of dele
gates to a National Convention was deferred
until after the approaching election, in or
der that those partial to McLean, Webster,.
White, Harrison, Van Buren or any others
who might be brought forward, might sup
port Mr. : Ritner without being charged with
a violation'of that partiality or predilection.
Mr. Ritner was nominated with a solo eye
to their confidence in his integrity and quali
fications for the office, and a desire for a
thorough retrenchment and reform in our
State Government. If the Editor, and his
friends, are desirous of such a charge—
such a Reform, they can, with pure hearts
and clean hands, rally around the Old Far
mer of Washington County, without the
least fear of receiving censure from any on
ly those who desire their own prosperity at
the expense of the State—who would see
our dearest interests, as a State, sacrifeed

have greatly mistaken the man, is not of ;his

our friends in the city and elsewhere, all
will go well in Southwark. The whole
Whig party, will, to a man, support the
Washington County Farmer--and we trust
that the movement which has been so auspi
ciously commenced in "the First District—
in the very strong hold of our opponents,
will be followed up in a similar spirit in oth
er parts of the State."
KrThe Harrisburg Reporter and other
"props" of the Lodge have commenced re-
publishing the old certificates, &c. against
Joseph Ritner! We suppose the Forged
Letter will also be republished, or a new one
manufactured.

Trench Question. --The last ac
counts from France, and various extracts of
lettmn -:.;•Sich we have seen, would seem to
indicate difficulty in the final adjustment of
the Indemnity Question. Tho New York
Post expresses the opinion that "there is
trouble ahead," in the condition annexed, by
the French Chamber of Deputies, to the
payment of the indemnity; and opinions, in
various other quarters, since the last advices
from France, have evinced a similar incline-
tion. Nevertheless, our opinion, as hereto
fore expressed, remains unshaken. We en
tertain little doubt, as to the final and pacific
adjustment of the affair, in duo season. The
large vote of the Chamber in favor of the
appropriation for the indemnity, does away
all the real difficeities of the case, and we
cannot entertain the idea that any lighter
matter will be allowed to involve the two
Nations. Having come to an understand
ing in matters of substance, we will not for
a moment believe, that the peaceful relations
of two great nations can be interrupted, and
"the dogs of war let slip;" upon matters of
form. We have scarcely a doubt but that
all remaining. difficulties can and will ,
easily arranged by the proper authoritie-
And this view of the subject, as well as the
opinion we express, is fully borne out by the
scope of our private advices from Washing

any other high officer of the Government,
is disposed to anticipate any difficulty of mo

PROSPECTUS
OF • THE
NEW ENGLAND GALAXY.
Volume Eighteen.
JOIIN NEAL&ii. HASTINGS WELD ; EDITOUS
T HE eighteenth volume of the Galaxy
was commenced on the first of Janu
ary, 1835. In accordance with a promise
given not long since, that the paper should
advance in litterary merit in proportion' as
it gained in public favor, we have spared no
pains or expense to render, it worthy , of pat
age. Pe izes have been given for a we
ld Tale and Poem, and a liberal re-
eration has been given for Original Ar
ticles. During the last four months there
has been published in the colums of the pa
per no less than sixteen' Original Tales; and
twenty-one Original Poems, together with
Sketches, Essays, &c. making in all proba
bly a greater quantity of original matter
than has been given of the of the same quak
ily in any other paper in the United States.
The tact that these exertions have been
met by an increase_ of names upon our sup.-
,scription list, far exceeding our most san
guine expectation, has induced us to engage
the services of John Neal, Esq. of Portland,
who will hereafter be associated with H.
Hastings Weld; 'Esq. the present editor; in
addition to which we oiler for original arti
cles the following Prizes:
_For the best Orig
inal Tale, $5O, for the best Original PlAitn,
$25, and for the best article on a humerniis
subject, $25.
The manuscripts may be directed to the
Editors of the Galaxy, Boston, post paid,
till the last of April, 1835, and the award
will be made during the month of May fol
lowing. The address of thewriter should
be enclosed in a sealed note marked 'name,'
and the directions of the successful writers
only will be opened. All the manuscripts
to be at the disposal of the'Editors of the
Galaxy. .
TERMS OF THE GALAXY.--1 - hroe dollars
per annum, advance. As we have no
agents, persons at a distance who wish the
paper can enclose the 'meant by mrail:
Post masters and others who
,may forward

Altheugh our list of exchunge.is already
sufficiently large, and we have,felt obliged,
to decline new cries,: we now offer an exl
change to any editor who will publish

advertisement, provided Always, -that the
Galaxy is not to be put on a reading room

In announcing the appearance of the
eenth volume of the NEW-YORK MIR
ROR, almost the only duty which devolves ,
upon its editors; is to tender their most dor- •
dial acknowledgments to their old friends
for the continuance of their support, and to
proffer to ,
the numerous subscribers, whose igC , '
names have been added to their list during -
thd past year, their thanks for this mark
their confidence and approbation. To the
former they can only reiterate the assurance'
so often conveyed, that as , the-Mirror has. now succeeded in preserving their good will
through the arduous period elite infinmy
and youth, so in maturity it will endeavour
still to deserve the applause - which Its
er efforts received. To the latter they' woulo
observe, that no expense shall be spared hail
no exertions relaxed to render itat tatot_Li
attractive and popular as any of its contem
poraries. The - experiende of pastyears
give confidence to those who-have watched
our career. while the volume_ that
close, will be an earnest of that which is to
come, to our more reeent friends; so' that •
the Teputation already secured to our publi- '
cation may be maintained and enhanced.'
To both we beg leave tdeclate, that
in the ORNAMENTAL EMBELLISH
MENTS of the Musson, the best native ta- '
lout has been engaged; - that''niany painters
have received commissions from us for the.
execution of subjects of national blistery init- .
national scenery; and that everavore oof the
first merit haVe been secured to render tneatr" -- ..
works fitting.illustrations of bar numbers.'
However beautiful may have been - the pre
ceding works of art which have ornamented
our pages, and however loud and frequent _ '•?,;;
has been the applause which has grseted 4 ',
their publication, we have no slight &Weise-
thin in being enabled to state, that those in ,
preparation surpass any thing either land
er known in the United States. No literary
periodical published in this country has ever
attained such an emended circulation as the -
Mirror, which is of course thebest proof 'or
its congeniality_ to the national taste, and an '
unequivocal approval of its system, and the
principle of its management. • .
In the course of the volume Foust srmsr. ,
DID QUARTO STEEL minumsunszrrsi de- .="f,
signed, painted and engraved, by, the best
and most eminent artists in the country, will
be published, together with numerous wren
illustrative of curious and in-
teresting scenes, incidents and antiquities, :
with about FIFTY PIECES of French, Span.
ish, German, Italian and British mime, ar
ranged for the Piano-forte, Harp,Guitar,die.
The same taste which has presided over
our MUSICAL SELECTIONS,
_will superintend
those, hereafter to appear, and the principles
which guide us in this departments will be,
as they have hitherto been, novelty and ex.-
cellence, the - beauty of the poetry, and the
melody of the accompaniment. •
The character of our Penmen comma.
rosmerice is too well known to be descant
ad upon here; it is sufficient to state, that
the choicest writers have promised their co- •
operation in the home department; and that ,
notwithstanding the enormous expense we
have incurred, we shall continue to appro
priato all available talent, and if Possible in
crease
the claims of . the Mirror to public '
support. • „
On these grounds we commend our forth
coming volume to the notice and appreba
two of our countrymen. • •
