A Movement In the Coun.ty•-.Rltner Meet*
Aug in the Northern I.lbertlee•
. -
The people are every where in motion
with refbrence to the approaching guberna
torial contest. The Whigs of the Northern
Liberties held a public meeting in the Com
missioners' Hall of that district, on the eve.
,ring of Monday last. It was highly respec
table in point of numbers- , - , the best feeling
prevailed—and but one opinion was ex
pressed as to the course: which the Whigs
shciuld pursue under existing circumstances.
It is universally conceded on the part ofour
political friends, that of the three candidates
tit present in the field, JOSEPH RITNER,
being the only one identified with Whig
principles, is therefore the only candidate
who should and .will secure the support of
the Whig party.
JOSEPH SMITH, Esq. was called to

6 .3eeting was addressed in the course
of the evohitng in animated and appropriate
MT3ssrs. Matthias, Kennedy and
thilediet, mid' the following preamble and
resolutions, rel)orted by a Committee ap
pointed fur the ',purpose, were unanimously
adopted:—
Whereas, the' shameful abuse of official
patronage, and dile wasteful expenditure of
public monies, whi.ich have characterized the
, administration of *merge Wolf for the past
.three years, togethek r with his utter disre
gard for the great inG e rests of Pennsylvania,
When brought in corn
1 4ict with the purposes
of ambitious politiciant 4 at Washington, and
his willling snbservien scy to their wishes,
though at the sacrifice of all our 'cherished
policies,, have excited tihroughout the State,
in the ranks of all P° ties, but one feeling of
distrust and indigkiation, and produced in tho
minds ofour far,mers, mechanics and traders,
a resolute date ° . rmination to rescue the State
from hial,nrde of office holders who are now
speTglating upoa her revenuei and prostra
tip,g her dearest interests at the shrine of
Burenism, and to place the direction of
her affairs in an Executive and Legislature
who will sustain her interests and honor, de
spite the intrigues and plots of the money
changers at Albany, and their associates at
Washington.
Therefore Resolved, That we will cor-
dially unite with our fellow citizens in the
county in placing in the Executive chair
JOSEPH RITNER, the Wa4ffuglon Coun•
_iv Farmer, pledging ourselves to use all
mare We exertions to secure him a triureph
ant majority over any and all opposition.
Because we recognize in him the true
friend of internal' improvements, Who, will
direct the energienof the State to a speedy
completion of them, and make them a source
of revenue to pay the interest ou our present
debt of 25 millions, rattier' than delay them,
that retainers and partizans way be fed at
the public orib, while they act Oa political
body guard to corrupt public sentiment and
disseriunate false information, and thus ren
der new loansnecessary annually to pay
interest on the present debt, and to support
the party drillers
Because we believe I.4dt election will heal
the dissatisfaction growing out oftho extrav
agant cost of our internal improvements, in
asmuch ns all will rest satisfied from his
known political integrity, that a judicious
economy and a strict accountability will
hereafter govern in the disbursements atilt:
public tridnies.
' Because we believe his friendship for Gen
eral Education,. accompanied as it is by a
personal experience of the trials and diffi-
Culties which the man has to encounter in
obtaining it s when in youth it is denied him
by povorty or misfortune s will make him
too firm a friend to forsake the cause to
please the wire workers of party politics,
and that under his administration Pennsyl

Land revenues to support General Educe.

record another movement ofthe same char.
enter. On Monday evet.ing last, the Whigs
of Now - Market Ward (in the City) held a
meeting with a similar object. We annex
the official proceedings. The resolutions
cannot but meet with the approbation of ev
ery Whig voter in the State. The other
wards will, no doubt, follow in the footsteps
Or New Market. We aro assured that the
meeting was large, and highly respectable;
and that the resolutions were passed without
dissenting voice. Well done, New Mar-

the Whig Candidate, she will be the last to

NEW NTARKET WARD.
A Meeting of the Whigs, of Now Market
Ward, Was held at Wood's, on Monday eve
ning, 13th inst., for the purpose of expressing
their sentiments respecting the choice of a
suitable candidate for the office of Governor
of the Commonwealth. The meeting was
organized by the appointment of Adam
Ramage, President; Wni. Champion and
Robert Werner, Vide Presidents, and Chas.
B. Trego and John Rhoads, Secretaries.
On motion, Messrs. Trego, Lancaster,
and Abbott were ap.)inted a Committee to
prepare resolutions expressive of the sense
of the meeting; who, having retired for n
short time, reported the 'following, which
were unanimously adopted:
We, the Whigs of New Market Ward; in
general ward meeting assembled, believing
that the time has now come, when an ex
pression of sentiment , respecting a suitable
Candidate for the office of Governor of Penn
sylvania, is both proper and expedient—do
hereby solemnly proclaim and declare the
following as . our free and deliberate opinions
and resolutions on the subject.
We cannot support George Wolf for that
high and responsible situation, because the
experience of two terms in office has shown
us that lie is not the impartial and enlighten
ed Chief Magistrate of the whole Common
wealth, dispensing equal regard and equal
favors to all; but has shown himself to be
the tool of a eon upt faction of political huck
sters,. who are gambling away our rights
and liberties—and who have, contrary to
the democratic doctrine of 'rotation in office,
again thrust him forward fol. a third term,
in order to prolong their own dominion and
influence.
. We cannot support him, because the vote
of his friends in the Baltimore Convention,
proved that ho is pledged to Martin Van
Buren; and that, according to their odious,
corrupting and despotic system of party poli
ties, notwithstanding their utter hostility to
Van Buren. they have determined, as a
matter of interest and expediency, to sup•
port him: to aid in his election, therefore,
would brand the Whigs with dishonor, and
hold them up as recreant to the noble prin
ciples for which they have so long and so
zealously contended.
For the same reason we cannot support
Henry A. Muhlenberg, the Candidate of the
office holders under the National Govern
ment; men who feed upon the public cribs
of the custom House and the Post Office;
and who, not content with all the power amd
patronage of the General Government,
wielded in their favour, are eagerly grasp.
ing at the spoils, emoluments, and offices
at the disposal of the Executive olthe State.
Resolved, That we will support JOSEPH
RITNER, as our Candidate for Governor,
without any reference to political Masonry
or Anti-Masonry,--because, we believe him
to be thoroughly and truly a Whig in spirit
and practice, and a firm' advocate and sup
porter of (ho principles by which we are
governel, and entertaining the' same views
on all great questions of National policy
which we linye ourselves maintained.
We will support him because we believe
that, under his administration, the State will
be - regenerated; and that a liberal and en
lighted policy will enable Pennsylvania to
take that elevated rank among her sister
states, In whiqh she ought to bo morally,
physically,' and politically entitled. This ;
we believe, beaus° he is a Pennsylvanian
in principie and in feeling, and as such, will
be the Executive , officer of the whole Com
monwealth, and not the tool of a corrupt fac
tion of .oflice holders and demagori nes, who
Make self-interest their only guide in in politi
cal action.
We will support him, because, On all
questions of State and Nationil policy, he is
known tube opposed to the rash and iinproyi•
dent measures which have shaken], to the
very foundation, our free institutions, and
endangered the stability of our Republic;
and because his well known democratic
principles of action would keep him true to
the best interests of the people. 'ale be
lieve, also, that under his administration,
the quvstion of REFORM, if culled for by
the will of the people, fairly ascertained,
would receive his zealous co-operatiou from
principle arid regard for the public good—
and not from views of personal popularity.
After the appointment of u Ward Execu

COLON EL JOHNSON.
Since the nomination of Col. Johnson, for
the Vice Presidency, various rumors have
been circulated in relation to the colour and
character of his ffimily. The following is
from a late number of the Courier and Eu.
quirer of New York:—
' "It may be a matter of no importance to
mere political automatons whether Richard
M. Johnson is a White or a Black man
whether he is free or a slave—or whether
ho is married to, or has been in connexion
with a jet•black, thiek•lipped, odoriferous
negro wench,bv whom he has reared a lam:-

force upon society, as every way worthy of
being considered the equals and the asso
ciates of his free white fellow eitiztlis; it

and his fellowers, what may he the color of

thank God, to the great majority of the peo

ty address ourselves on this subject, with a
full conviction that in their breasts we citall
find a response to the patriotic feelings which
induce the appeal. However devoted they
may have been to Andrew. Jackson—how
ever deluded they may even now be by Vun
Buren and his system of party tactics—we
confidently believe that they will never give
a vote fur the elevation of Van Buren to of

GEN. HARRISON ANTI JOSEVII
Solna lima since, the Carlisle Herald, asse'r
' too the fact, that JOSEPH RITNER, was
a solder in the army tinder Gen. HARM
SON, in the late war. It seems that the
Perry Forester, dents this. Joseph Rimer
DID turn out in datimce of his countrN,
when one of the candidates in opposition to
bun, was then opposing the democratic ad•
ministration of - Simon Snyder, and the other
was singing psalm tunes.
The pay rolls, filed in the Auditor Gener
al's office, will show that Joseph Ritner,
served as a private soldier in a six months
campaign in the North Western A rmy, dis
tinguished for suffering, privation and hard
ship. As a proof of this, it is only neces
sary to mention the fact, that, so severe was
the campaign; and so perilous to life and
health, that the Legislature of Pennsylvania
voted a bounty of 2 0 , to each non•conniiis
sinned officer and private, who served the
whole term of six months. It was the pro
tection of these Pennsylvania troops that
saved the inhabitants of the frontier from
becoming the victims of British and savage
cruelty. Each individual's name who re
ceived the bounty of Pennsylvania, can be
seen by calling at the Auditor General's Of
fice. The name of JOSEPH RITNER is
there. He was a private soldier in Capt.
Benjamin Anderbon's company of the first
Regiment in General Crooks' Brigade.—
Harrisburg Intelligencer.
The prospect of the election of Mr. Ritner,
1w a large majority over both his opponents,
there can scarce be a doubt, in the minds rd
those in the least acquainted with the state
of public opinion. Our information from
every part of the State confirms this filet.
The evidence conies not only from counties
whore Mr. Ritner has had a strong support
heretofore, bin from those where in 1832
there was no organization in his fitvor, and
where his supporters were few. The chan
ges that are taking place in favor of the
Farmer of Washington County aro greater
in many places than they were in 1932,
and it they continue as they have commenced
his majority will be overwhelming. Oar
statement of the above facts is received
from sources entitled to the fullegt cone•

A MONSTER MONOPOLY.
The Bat,k ::as been called R "inotter"
and monopoly," dangerous to lur Republi
can Ir stitutons, and as such his met the
reprobation of the people. Bad as the Bank
is and dangerous as it is, we think there is
another Monster and Monopoly in our own
State which should be watched with equal
cam and suspicion. Wt; mean the Wl
lenberg family. The Bank has wealth--
so has this family. The Bank has branches
---1 has this family. The Bank aimed at
politic al power—so has and does this family.
The wealth of this family is great. They
have their thousands upon thousands in
farms and stocks. Their connections are
numerous--a branch may be found in many
of our counties. The Muhlenberg leaders
in Montgomery, Bucks, Lancaster, Dan:
phis, and Lebanon are but branches of the
o•reat Monster and Monopoly located in
Berks. Their ambition for political power
is notorious. Two of them have alfdady
been Governors of our State--two more
were candidates, but were rejected by the
people—now another, iii the person of B. A.
Muldenberg, is endeavouring to force him
self by means of his wealth and family con
nections into the Gubernatorial Chair. Is
there any thing like Democracy in the 'con
duct and character of such a family; of if is
not rather the sure indication of a high
reaching Aristocracy, dangerous to the lib.
erties of the citizens. We say, as every
freeman should say, "nowts Willi THIS morr•
6TER MONOPOLIZING."
The editor of the Downingtown (Wolf)
Standard is endeavoring to make his readers
believe—what he himself knows to he un
true—that the Anti-Masons in many parts
of the State are divided between Ritner and
Muhlenberg. This is labor lost. The ar
tifice is too shallow to deceive any one.—
The Anti• Masons throughout the State were
never more united than they are at present.
They will support Joseph Ritner to a man.
--Lancaster Exam.
oz:7 — The Downingtown paper is not the
only one guilty of such rascality. There .
are two of its kindred, in that respect, in
Adams county.
We were a good deal amused the other
day at hearing a Muhlenberger gravely tell
a Wolf man from an adjoining county, that
at leitat one half of the voters of this county
who supported Ritner at the last election
would this year vote for the Reading Par
sonfand that consequently he would receive
a pretty snug majority over both Wolf and
Railer. Verily this was a thumper, and
the Muhlenberger deserved credit for his
impudence if he did not thereby add much
to his reputation for veracity. Old Anti-
Masonic Lancaster give a majority for such
an apology tiir a candidate as Parson
lenberg! Why the man must be crazed.
He might as well hope to see the noble
stream which laves her shored change its
course, as expect a single AntOlason to de
sert the cause of the Washington county
Farmer. We venture to predict—what the
the election in October will confirm—that
in this county Ritner will beat Muhleuberg
at least FOUR THOUSAND—that lie will
beat Wolf THREE THOUSAND FIVE .
HUNDRED—and that his majority over
kth wi!l not be less than THREE THOU

of divorces, she will compete with almost
any of them, considering her age. In a late

ten acts of the last Legislature, for divorcing
as many married couple! Among others,
Martha Redman gets relieved from her bad

coal region of Penusylvania, may be gained
from the thllowing lacts:
The Lehigh or Anthracite mines sent to
the market in 1820 but 365 toils, hi'', in
1834, after the canals and rail roads (ame
into use, 374,222 tons, of. which\llq,soo
were from the Lehigh and 11::14;2,43 frui the
Schuylkill. and 43,700 from the Lickawatia
The Le4igh company . oMiCoy on
the Lihigh canal and PelawSre 275 boats
—on the'Morris canal are 259 boats. The
number of vessels laden with coal at Phila
delphia and Bristol in 1834 was 469. The
number of coal vessels that cleared from the
river Schuylkill in 1834, was 72 brigs, 1122
schooners, 420 sloops. The value of the
proper 4 of the Anthracite coal mines in
collenes, cars, lands, heats, warehouses, &e.
is over 19 million of dollars.
.The Anthra
cite mines cover 975 square miles; the
bituminous, which are more valuable and
not much worked as yet, 21,000 square
miles. The consumption of Anthracite in
1842, it is thought, will be 10 millions a•::1
a half of tons, or over 5'2 millions of dollars !

The fate of Mrs. Alston, the accomplish
ed lady of Gov. Alston, of South Carolina,
and daughter of Aaron Burr, has been
shrouded in mystery for more than twenty
years. Occasionally, indeed, some gleams
of light have been thrown around her mel
ancholy end, and the belief is that she fell a
victim to piratical atroctty. Seine three
years ago. it was currently reported that a
man residing in one of the interior counties
of this State, made some disclosure on his
death bed, which went to confirm the con
fession previously made by a culprit on the
gallows, that the ve.%el in which Mrs Al
ston sailed, was scuttled for the sake of her
plate and elfecis. The fidlowing article,
which we copy from the Alabama Journal,
goes to dillitv seine additional light on the
subject. The facts mentioned in it are new
to us, and will be probably, to most of our
readers :
CONFESSION OF A PIRATE
The public, no doubt, remembers the
story of the daughter of Aaron Burr, who
was the wife of Governor Alston, of South
Carolina. On the return of her father from
Europe, about the year 1812, she embark.
ed from Charleston on a visit to hint at New
York, on board a privateer built vessel, and
was never heard• of afterwards. It seems
that her friends at first thougt the vessel
Itad fallen into the hands of tine pirates, and
afterwards concluded that it was wrecked
and. lost. It appears from the statement of
a respectable merchant of Mobile, that a
man died in that city recently, who confess
ed to his physician on his dying bed, that
he hail been a pirate, and helped to dest , -oy
the vessel and all the crew and passengers,
in which Mrs. Alston had endiarked for
New York. He declared, says this gentle
men, that after the MCII were all killed,
there was ari unwillingness on the part of
every pirate to take the life of Mrs. Alston,
who had not resisted them or fought them,
and therefore they drew lots who should per
firm the deed, as it had to be done.
The lot fell on this pirate, who declares
that he effected his object of putting the In
dy to death, by the laying a plank along
the edge of the ship on it and half off, or
over the edge, and made Mrs. Alston walk
on that plank till it tilted over into the water
with liar. The dying pirate requested his
physician to make his story public, but his
surviving family will not permit or consent
that the name of' the deceased should be
known.
The above tale was repeated over and
over by the merchant before mentioned, in
the presence of a number of gentlemen
whose names can be given. fie said he re
ceived it from the physician himself, with
no other injunction to secrecy, than that he
should not disclose the name_of the physi
cian for the present. On being asked if the
physician was a man of veracity and respec
tability, he replied there was no one more
so in Mobile. The merchant was warned
that his story would get into the newspapers,
to which he made no objection.
A destructive fire broke out in the city of
Charleston, S. C. on the morning of June
6th. It commenced at half past 12 o'clock,
and spread with great fury m every direc
tion, fir about nine hours. Four eatire
squares were laid in ruins. The number of
dwellitlg•houses, and stores destroyed, has
been estimated at 282, including out•build
ings 374. The fire is attributed to an in
cendiary. The loss of property is immense.
A MAN GONE OVER NIAGARA FALLS.-
Two men, who were attempting a few days
since to pass from Grand Island to the Cana
da shore, were forced into the rapids near
the great cataract, and they both jumped out
of the boat. One of them was rescued by
the people on the shore, but the other, a Mr-
Bruily, was hurried over the falls and was
seen 110 more.
A MERITORIOUS FUNCTIONARY.- - The
Journal of Commerce states that a gentle
man incidentally mentioned a Pict to the edi
tors a day or two since,with which we were
very much gratified, viz: that every Sab
bath, the Attorney General of the United
States, Benjamin F. Butler, Esq. is seen at
the head of a class in Washin.:ton as a Sun
day. School teacher. There are men in the
world far less distinguished than Mr. Butler,
who would think it beneath them to engage
in such a calling. But Mr. B. has learned
to put more just estimate upon the character
of the employment. There is no higher
honor than to he engaged in the service of
the King off Kings.—N. Y. Trawcript:
"STRIKEs!"—A number of the different
journeymen mechanics and laborers of Phil
adelphia, have, within the last week or ten
days, strubk for a change in their working
hours, and in some instances, in their wages
too. They have had numerous meetings,
processions, and a little rioting, hut not of
an unusually violent character. Their dif
ferences, however, have nearly all been set
tled: Some have returned to their work' on
the usual terms, except the allowance of an
hour longer at dinner; others have uamed
their principal object, in the reduction of
the number of working, hours per day to
ten, or from six o'clock in the morning to
six in the afternoon, alloWing one hour for
hreAflist. and another for dinner. The r : "

workmen, and it is presumed, will ere lung
be generally acceded to.
We wish to see both the employer and
the employed, equally dealt with, and we
should be the last to see either the one or
the other tyrannise. The journeymen must
not be looked upon as slaves, silently sub
mitting to the whims, caprices, and extol
lion of their employers; treither can it be
evecied, that the employers will gratify
every demand, however preposterous, des.
tractiva, or dictatorial, wjiich those in their
sirvine, may choose to prefer. They both
have their rights, and it is no more than
coannon justice, that they should be per

ple. indications of its further growth end

and all branches of its trade and inanufitc•

As soon as the water works, now in progress,

new manufactories, with steam engines, are
DON in progress of erection.—Buh. Put.
THE CROPS.—While the accounts from
Pennsylvania are generally of a favorable
character as to the prospects for the grow
ing crop; those from the grain growing
counties of Virginia, are of an opposite cast.
A letter from an agriculturist of Jefferson
county, which we observe in the National
Intelligencer of this morning, states, that
"the crop of wheat is unusually indifferent
—indeed bad—and that few can reap half a
crop, and others not more than one third or
a fourth." The corn crops and other spring
products—though somewhat backward, are
represented as premising an abundant yield.
This is a pleasant hope, and a blessing the
more to be priz-,d during a failure of the
crops of the winter grail—as a full supply
of the former will do away the principal evils
to be feared from a scarcity of the latter-Lb.
HEALTH! OF CINCINNATI.--The Cincin

that city as in a state of general health; and

FATAL Pcsms%.—We learn from the
Pottsville (Pa.) Journal, that a pugilistic en
counter took place in that neighborhood, a
few days since, between two miners, named
John Simons and Edward Thomas, which
resulted in the death of the former, in con
sequence of a blow inflicted on him, which
ruptured the jugular vein. Previous to this
catastrophe, which took place in the 15th
round, the deceased had knocked down his
opponent eleven times. There had been
8 nue difference between the parties, and the
fight, which terminated thus fatally, was
agreed upon, to ascertain which was "the
better man." The survivor had been com
mitted to jail, to await his trial.

propo,ed to do some work if tools and uten

doing some work in the House, which was

YOUR. AND WIIIGIUNVILLD RAIL ROAD.
—Books for sub-Criptions to the Stock of
this R ai l Reid Company were opened this
in main, at ElAtztioover'si Fountain Inn, and
should the amount ofthe stuck unsubscribe:d
be not taken sooner, they will remain open
duriug to-morrow and -next day. But we
should hardly deem such a result probable.
From the general favor in which Rail-road
stack is naw hold by capitalists, and from
the strong reasons that exist for deeming
well of this stock in particular, we should
judge that . the whole aniounewill have been
taken to-day. If riot, we should then incline
to think, it was for the want of true and ex
act information, as to its probable value.
P. S. Since writing the above we learn
that the whole amount of stock deemed ne
cessary for the completion of this road
(S 150,000) was subscribed within an hour
after the opening of the books. The act of
incorporation, however, requires that the
books should remain open for three days as
will ho seen by refi!rence to that document
which we publish to-day.—Patriot.
CANAL TO TIDE.—We learn that the poi . -
' tion of stock in the Susquehanna Canal Corn•
piety, which has been allotted to Baltimore
—say ten thousand shares, of 850 each—
was promptly subscribed yesturlay, and the
books were consequently closed. We may
tiresome that this important work will soon
be commenced, and vigorously prosecuted
-to its completion. l'here aro too many in•
terests at stake, in reference to this great
iinprovenient, to admit the supposition that
any other than necessary delays, shall be al.
lowed to occur in its prosecution. e have
all along considered this projected Canal, in
its operation upon the interests of Baltimore,
as only second in importance to the great
line of improved communication from this
City to the West by the way of Harper's
Ferry and Cumberland. They who look at
the full value and extent of the improvements
in Pelllisyhtitlllil and Ohio, with which the
Canal to tide will bring us in connection,
curt hardly be of a different opinion. Such
being iii foci the just estimate oldie vast im•
portairce of this Canal to the commercial
interests, and by consequence to every oth
or interest of Baltimore, it may be taken for
granted, that no energy shall be wanting on
her part to push forward the work, and to
realize its advantages at the earliest period
practicable.-
From tho Lycoming Floe Preto;
AN ELOPEMENT--ALMOST!!
Quite a panic has been got up in Wil
liamsport, on account of an attempted elope
ment of a man and respectable young lady
of that borough. Being without the range
of the mania; we hope that wo will be able
to give an impartial account of the affair,
so Car, at least as the particulars have reach•
ed us.
About three or four months ago a Dentist
arrived in the borough of Williamsport.—
His arrival was announced by a card, pub
lished in the papers, and we believe also edi
torially. He gave general satisfaction .to
those with whom he had professional con
nection, and enjoyed the good will of all the
citizens of that town—with the exception,
probably, of two or throe sparks, who, per
haps, imagined that he was a professional
character, he might possibly wind himself
into, and them out of, the affections of their
Del , "nras. If snch gliqpt^i(ol9 were enter
toined, the. sequel proved tir , t at lank
hopelens taighi wns docnied
To experience the sad reality."
Afler a residence of some six or eight
weeks, he took a professional tour through
some (tithe neighboring villages, and then
returned to Williamsport, to quote the lan
trua.re of the Chronicle, "in a style every
way lu a gentleman." Ms return
was greeted with a ailment(' edOrial pia
which we imagine the Chronicle wishes had
been "battered," o$ "pied," so that it could
not have appeared. But to the subject.
appears that he had become attached to
the daughter of the gentleman with whom
he boarded, and his attachment was recipro
cated by the young lady; but fearing that
her parents might object to their union in
consequence of the youth of the young lady,
an elopement was planned, and, in the ab
sence of the father, executed—almost.—
They chme to our village, stopped at the
stage-office, and seemed to feel and enjoy
happiness, in the full sense of the word .
. But,
alas! the course of true love never runs
smooth ! and this happy couple were doom
ed to be cast into the lowest depths of disap
pointment and despair, when they least ex
pected They were "dwelling in sweet an
ticipation of joys expectant;" while others,
led on probably by a rejected suitor, were
making all haste to throw the blight of dis
appointment over their prospects. What
could be more aggravating to the Dr. than
to have his fiiir jewel wrested from him at
the Very moment he was certain that it was
his beyond all doubt; ay, so sure was he, that
he may have addressed her, at the time, to
the thllowing effect
Thou art mine own;
And I as rich in having such a jewel,
Af. twenty seas, if all their sands wore pearl,
Tim water nec-"
"M-wy God! Here's the Sheriffand con
stable ! Oh, J—, 1 have lost you—peal Is
and all !"
The sheriff tnok the Dr. back to Williams
port and put him in durance vile, where he
remained until the next day, when he was
released. He came back to our borough,
stayed all night, and the next morning he
stalled for Lewistown, M tlllin rounty,where
he was when we heard of him last.
NOT UNLIKELY.- W illiam Gwinn Jones,
who is imprisoned in our jail, for robbing the
Baltimore Post Otfice, is strongly suspected
to have been the incendiary who spread such
devastation in our city during the past win
ter—of having fired the Athenceum and the
Court House. It is said, he owned stock in
the Athenaeum, and had been heard to ex
press a wish that it might burn down, as it

have carried the bill through that body with
out tha amendment. It was thought for
several days that he would have sou -ht
means of getting 9ver it, as he might have
done, by Navin_ the amendment set aside in
the Chamber of Peers, and thus bring the
hill back to the other house for correction.
But the expose made by the Count de Bit ,
nay upon the presentation ofthe law, instead
of mending, has made the matter worse, by
stating, that as all diplomatic intercourse
between the two countries is at an end, so
the matter would rest till the United States
shall think proper to take the iniative.--
Tne tone of the expose, which has surprised
-tt one, (as nothing has been made pub
to warrant it,) is supposed to be
cence of something contained in
Jndence of the American Minis
log the explanation of the last note
presented to the American
Government upon his recall.
The writer says the Duke do Broglie has
displeased every body in the course ho has
takeii—the King, the majority in Chamber
of Deputies who voted with him, and the . ,
opposition.
Menco.—Tb rough the poi iteness of Cap
tain Cunningham, of the schooner Sophia,
which sailed on the 22d ult. from Tampico,
we have obtained a paper from that place
of the 18th May, which contains official
intelligence of the later triumph of •Santa
Ana.
On the I lth May, early in the morning,
Santa Ana attacked 'in several directions,
with a fore of 3100 men, the position of
Don Fransico Garcia, the revolutionary
cheif, who was at the head ofsoo men, with
a large train of artillery. • Afteran obsti
nate]; contested battle, which lasted two
hours, Santa Ana obtained a signal victory,
killing and woundin.• hundredi and taking
2700 prisoners. The loss on his side teas
one hundred in killed and wounded. He
states in his official report that the field of
battle offered a frightful and heart rending
spectacle. He has completely destroyed
the hopes of the enemies of the present
Government. - Thetr cannon, small arms,
and ammunition, are all in the power of
Santa Ana. The battle took place on the
plains of Guadaloupe, near Zacatecas, in
which latter place Santa Ana has eaablish
ed his head-quartels.
Gen. Perms has been sent with 500
cavalry in pursuit of those of the enemy
who escaped.

.. I. do hereby certify that I had this fast
spring,.and summer a constant pain_ in my
stoniach,.and a great weakness in my kid
neys, and pain across my eyes, for which I
used a good.roany remedies without giving
relief, I was at last recommended to try a .
bottle of Garlegant's Balsam of Health; pre
pared by John S. Miller. I accordingly
made use of one bottle, which I procured of.
his agent in Hagerstown, which restored me,
to my gond health again, and are now us well.
as ever I yas, and you are at liberty to
make it known for the benefit ofthose afilia

Hagerstown, Sept. 1834.
About two years ago I was severely ef..
flitted with the dyspepsia, which I had for :
the ItiA fifteen years, previous to the above
named time,which was very much increased
by my having a blood vessel ruptured upon
my lungs, occasioned by lifting—which in.
creasetr my complaint, - dyspepsia and goner=
al weakness and debility to such, a degree,
that for two years previous to my using the
Garlegant 13alsam I never eat a meal but
my stomach became so painful that I had
immediately to throw it up. Seeing Gado.
g,ant's Balsam of Health advertised, 1 was
induced to try a bottle; after taking the very
first dose it appeared to strengthen my sto
mach; and every dose of the first bottle help.
ed me so much, that in the course of a few
days my stomach began to retain and digi.st
"every thing I eat. I continued to use the
Balsam until I used seven bottles, which
cured me•entirely, and restored me to per
fect health, which I have enjoyed ever since,
and not before for fifteen years. I cheerful.
Iv recommend it to all persons who are af,
dieted with dyspepsia or debility of atom.
ach. Given under my hand this lltb day
of January, 1834.
HENRY LOUTHAN,;
Frederick county, Va.
Leesburg. Virginia.
Dear Sin— 1 . have used the Balsam of
Health which I procured front you, with
great benefit, if not with entire relief.—
When I procured it I was sorely afflicted
with dyspepsia, attended by all the distme
sing symptoms, headaches, giddiness, heart
burn, and the thousand nervous aftitcticate
which accompany it, in its' worst stages.g---
At times such was the debility occasiTed,
that I was bed ridden. . I think I can say,
that the first relief, if not the entire cure,
was produced . bythe use of the Ilatsam.
