07 - The 59th Anniversary of American
Independence was celebrated in a becoming
manner by our citizens. There were sev
eral celebrations. The following order was
observed: At 8 o'clock the GUARDS and
CITIZENS' BAND met and organized,
and proceeded to the German Church,
where an appropriate sermon was de
livered by the 'Rev. Mr. RuxnnauriP,
who was attentively listened to by a large
concourse of Ladies & Gentlemen. During
the exercises in the church, the following
piece, composed for the occasion by a young
gentleman of this borough, was sung:—
ODE,
Composed for the 4th July Cclebrntion,held in tho
German Church, Gettysburg,
BY EUDOR.
As2--"Prom Green/and', fey mountains."
HAIL! day of noblest story
That ever hist'ry told,
Hail! day of brightest glory
That o'er earth ever roll'd.
We hail thee now returning,
Not with heraldic fame,
But freedom's halo burning
Around thy sacred name.
In thee, on mountains gleaming,
Our signal lights appear'd,
'Twas in thy sunlight beaming,
Our chietiains arms were rear'd.
'Twits then with stern devotion,
With hearts resolv'd and firm,
Devoid of fear's emotion,
They stood to brave the storm.
And had they not then given
Their faith, their lives, their all,
Pledging to earth and Heaven,
Their's or the despot's fall;
We might now have been wearing
The fetters of the slave—
Or been in grief despairing,
Exiles beyond the wave.
Then bend forth shoutings loudly,
Train'd of Columbia's band,
March then in triumph proudly,
Ye soldiers of the land.
This sabbath day of freedom,
This blessed Jubilee,
Your fathers made for those whom,
Like you, they knew'd be free.
Know men of ey'ry station,
O'er whom our flag's unfurl'd,
That this great day our nation,
Stands view'd by all the world.
Fix'd on a lofty em'nence,
Upon a "cloud•capt" height—
Her glory shining far thence
A blazing beacon light.
Oh! then be often praying
To God who reigns on high,
That, ever it displaying
Its flame in earth's dark sky,
May save the f 3 inking seamen
From seas of anarchy,
And light the,boat of freemen
To port of Liberty.
After the ceremonies in the Church were
concluded, the GUARDS and CITIZENS' BAND
returned to Mr. Kurtz's and were dismissed
for a short tirne.'...alter which they again
formed and, in company with a number of
'citizens, proceeded to Gen. Miller's grove,

The French people area high. minded and
honourable nation; republican in their inter.
course and transactions, and should he so
treated by the United States, in our nation

As the United States is a republic in its
constitution and laws, we should be the last,
as a nation to depart from sound, pure and
republican measures.
When, therefore, we send a Minister from
the United States to any Foreign Nation,
he ought to be republican in his character
and conduct. He ought to be therepresen

execute or expel a member from the Lodge
for speaking evil of, or exposing its imposi
tions, or other unmasonic rebellious conduct
respecting Free-Masonry;• but they will not
expel, neither can they expel him from the

government. The people ought to look to
this circumstance.

U. States—France-Free-Masonry
The public have observed from the tenor
of the late news from France, that the
French g overnment is dissatisfied with ED
WARD LivrNosrox, the Minister Plenipo
tentiary from the United States, sent there
in pursuance of nomination by President
Jackson.
Many observations have been made on
this subject; and reasons given why it is so;
and, perhaps, the only and true one has not
been adverted to, or met the public eye or
ear.
It is, therefore, only now necessary to
mention to the American people—intelli
gent and republican in their views, and ca
pable of reflection—that at the time the
nomination of Mr. Livingston was made and
confirmed, that he was the GREAT GRAND
HIGH PRIEST OF THE ROYAL ARCH CHAP
TER OF FREE-MASONRY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
The mentioning of this circumstance is
all sufficient as a reason why Livingston, of
all other men in the United States, should
not have been sent in that capacity to France
—because, from his Masonic connection, he
was the most unsuitable of all our citizens.
In proof of our position, we quote from
the second charge of their great book of
CortsTrrunoNs; and . we defy contradiction
to our authority—viz: a brother (Ma
son) be a rebel against the State"—"And
if convicted of NO °TITER crime, they cannot
expel him from the Lodge. and his relation
to it remains indefeasible!!!!"
Now, it uneontrovertably follows to be
true s ,from the above matter of filet, that no
.adlieeinerree-Mason is suitable to fill any
office of trust and profit touching the govern
ment, when it appears by the above quota
lion, from their own constitution, that he has
liberty to he a rebel against government,
and hold his rrght in the lodge "indefcasi
bk!!!"
NOW when thig is the case, even with the
lower orders of Free-Masonry, how much
more it must be so with those of the higher
classes; more especially, those who have
been promoted to the highest office in the
gift of Free- Masonry—as was the case with
Mr. Livingston, he being (when appointed,
Minister to France,) Great-Grand.High
Priest of the Royal Arch Chapter in the
United States.
Again—The haughty, insolent and arro
gant manner and disposition that a high
Masonic Officer naturally obtains, by his
office and station in the Lodge or Chapter,
is such as to unfit him for honorable and
fair negotiations with any honorable Nation
on earth: for his conceit and selbimportance
disqualifies him for such services, by his
overbearing and 11E1'141)1y A ristwracy--for'
Free-Masonry is an Arisn , cracv. And
hence, it is degrading fora Foreign Govern
merit to be asked to negotiate with such
characters—who more properly should he
considered as Nlinisters imniediatelv from
Free-Masonry, and riot from the Republican
Government of the United States.
Under these circumstances, it is not sur
prising that the French Government is dis
satisfied with *lr. Livingston; because, it is
hut insulting to that people for us to ask
them to negotiate with the Representative
of Free•Musonrv.
The Fiench people cannot have forgotten
the deplorable mischiefs, the insurrections,
corruptiondand convulsions of Free• Mason•
ry, through one of her efficient degrees,
(called the 111urninati,) in that country:
Neither has striv Nation forgotten the ex•
plosions that PolNsimr's Free-Masonry had
neatly brought about in Mexico and South
America, by his visiting that country. It is
right,then,that every Freeman ofevery Na
tion, should have an eye to this great Na
tionaland Local Evil.
(Favorite Air
Therefore, the French Government has
treated the United States with mix!) cour
tesy, and great respect, in not having sent
Mr. Livingston home immediately on his
arrival on the coast, with a request that the
United States would honor their Govern
ment with a representative of the People,
and not of a Secret Oath-hound Society.
For any apology we may owe to France,
is from the impropriety of sending Mr. Li
vingston to her Court, and not for the senti
ments of the President's message.
Believing these remarks were duo to the
American people, for the purpose of open
ing the public eye to the present state and con
dition of Free-Masonry, and its pernicious
effects on governments, and the dishonor it
brings upon the General Government to our
eternal disgrace,

5.L.1.71 DER REFUTED.
[From the Washington Reporter.]
The Examiner has again favored the pub
lic with the oft refuted calumny, contained
' in the certificate of Capt. Beq,jamin Ander
son and others, respecting Mr. it itner's mili
tary services during the late war. The cer
tificate states that "Mr. Ritner left the com
pany without the consent of its commanding
officers." And here, forsooth, is the' whole
head and front of his offending, that he chan
ced to be detailed by Col. Ferree to drive n
piddle team after the hired drivers had re
fused to go nny further. It signified noth
ing to Mr. Ritner whether or not, he had the
consent of Capt. Anderson to leave; for he
had been "detailed," and go he must, if all
the Captains and Lieutenants in the army
had protested. Can Capt. Anderson be so
ignorant of military subordination as not to
know this? Did he expect 'Gen. Crooks to
come to him,with Chapeau in hand, and ex
claim, "My dear, sweet Capt. Anderson,will
you he so kind and condescending as to per
mit my Quarter Master General to detail a '
man frhm your ranks to drive a wagon load
of muskets across the Blank Swamp? Do
you "CONSENT, " my dear Captain?"
The Commanding General, not knowing
the dignity and importance of our militia
Captain, did not adopt this course, but pro.
ceeded according to the old fashioned tac
tics, and commanded Mr. [tuner to lay aside
his musket and shoulder a wagon whip; and
all this, too, without the "consent" of his
Captain!!!
We would also like to know from Captain
Anderson, how it happened that he, under
oath, certified the name of Joseph Riefler on
his pay roll to the Pay Master General at
Harrisburg, as entitled to full pay for a six
months' tour,when, forsooth, Mr. Ritner had
left "the company without his consent," at
the commencement of the campaign, soon
after the troops reached Mansfield!! How
could the gallant Captain, without violating
what every soldier holds so dear—his honor,
certify that one to whom he would now give
the hue and color or a deserter, was entitled
to full pap; and consequently, had served the
full term for which he had been drafted.
We have said nothing about the other in
dividuals who signed this far famed certifi
cate, because they, or a majority of them,
we understar El, have become disgusted with
the fraudulent manner in which their names
were obtained and used, are now good and
true Ritner men.
• I have noticed in the Examiner of the
sth inst., edited by John. Grayson, in the
borough rf Washington, a publication with
the names of "Benjamin Anderson, Capt.
James White, Lieut. William Lindsey, En
sign," and eight others appended thereto,
purporting to he a statement of facts rela-
tive to Joseph Ritner's Military services in
the campaign ri the winter of 1812, 'l3.
In the statement I find the fiAlowing passage
—"Mr. Ritner continued as a private in the
same company with us until some time in
November, when the detachment reached
Mansfield, in the State of Ohio, at which
time and place he left the company without
Spirit of the Times
TO THE PUBLIC.
i the approha.'ion of its officers, for the pur
-1 pose, as we understand, of driving a public
I team." From the remarks preceding this
I passage, and the accompanying remark of
the Editor of the Examiner, there can be
no doubt but the publication was intended to
injure the election of Joseph Ritner, the
Anti-Masonic candidate for Governor.
JUSTICE to Mr. Ritner, to his friends
and to the public, induces me to state the
following filets with which I am well ac
quainted. The detachment commanded by
Gen. Crooks had been lying several weeks
at Mansfield, when a number of teams ar
rived from Pittsburg,. laden with U. States
arms, some of them destined to Franklin
ton. Several hired drivers who arrived
with the teams, refused to drive any farther.
Drivers were immediately demanded from
the troops, then at Mansfield in the service
of the Government. Several offered them
selves to drive, but were rejected; and, to
the best of my recollection, "Ephraim Post"
and "Jacob Elliot" were among the rejected.
Mr. Ritner was applied to, and agreed to
drive a team to its destination ,
. and I agreed
to drive another. We started from . Mans
field on the 21st day of November, IAI2.
It was not then known how long the troops
were yet to remain at Mansfield. It was
well known that the road on our route was
represented to be very bad, before Mr. lit
tler and myself agreed to go with the teams.
We found this to be no exaggeration. The
road led through immense swamps—one of
which was termed "die black swamp," and
was twenty miles throngh. I deem it my
duty to state that, had not Jdseph Ritner
and a man named Joseph Haines been with
us, we could not have proceeded to Frank•
linton with the arms, where they were very
much wanted at the time.
I deem it my duty to state further, that
after we had left Mansfield a few miles,
Capt. Benjamin Anderson, and if I recollect
aright, Jacob Cook, passed us on the road
and told us that they were going into the
interior of the country on a visit to see some
friends, &c. I leave the Captain and his
friend Cook to reconcile this fact with that
part of their statement where they say that
they merely "understood" that Mr. Ritner
had left the company "for the purpose o
driving a public team," &c. I also per
fectly recollect that Mr. Ritner HAD the
approbation of Captain Anderson to go with
the teams. And I also distinctl7, recollect
that Ensign Lindsey said to me, in the pres•
ence of General Crooks, " Rogers, you shan't
go." Gen. Crooks then said to Lindsey,
"if the wagon-master wishes him to go, you
dart not stop him."
September 19th, 1832.
I CERTIFY THAT JOSEPH RITNER, a sol•
clier in the Pennsylvania line, who was de
tailed as a wagoner to a public team, has
served in the Quarter-Mastor's Department
up to this date.

PENNSYLVANIA.--The election of Mr.
Ritnor to the Chief Magistracy of Pennsyl
vania may be deemed next to certain. As
a sign of the course of events, we may men
tion that the sum of 1000 dollars has been
deposited at Harrisburg for several days—to
bet that Ritner will be elected, and a premi
um of 200 dollars is offered to any one who
will procure a taker—as yet wit hour satteess.
It is supposed that there will be about 190,-
000 votes cast at the Pennsylvania election
in October next; of these the Whigs calcu
late that "Parson Muhlenberg" will get a
bout 40,000; "Lawyer Wolf" about 60,-
000, and "Farmer Ritner" about 90,000.--
The Harrisburg Telegraph is confident that
Ritner will get upwards of 100,000 votes.--
Baltimore Patriot.
The Pennsylvanian is electioneering the
Convention to alter the constitution, as a
Ilahlenberg measure! It will lose Mr. M.
20,000 votes—and make Mr. Rimer our
next Governor to a certainty.—Deus. her.
A CALCULATION.—The Barks County
Eagle, makes a calculation in which it gives
Ritual. 00,000, Wolf 60,000, and Midden
berg 35,000 votes, at the next election.—
Ritner will receive more than one hundred
thousand. Alark that.—Pa. Tel.
We do not wonder that the would be no
bility—the Masonic party—feel so much
hostility towards Mr. RITNER. He is a
farmer, and it would be humiliating in the
extreme—yea, even "gall and wormwood"
to them to see him set in the chair of state.
They would much rather have king George
the 4th, send us over one of his debauched
courties—a titled gentry, of the star or gar
ter order, to introduce orders of nobility
and make our farmers, mechanics and la,
bowing men their slave*. This would suit
the views of those who sneer at the idea of
mnkinga Farmer Governor, precisely.—
Their lamentations would be turned into joy
in an instant. But unfortunately for them
the people are not disposed to gratify them.
They once proStrated the nob:l4y iu this
state by electing SiaroN SNYDER, an honest
and intelligent mechanic, who administered
the:hfli►irs of the state to the universal satis
faction of the people, and now they are de
termined to try a Formei—they are rising
in their might, and on the second Tuesday
of October will elect JOSEPH RITNER
by an overwhelming majority; while the
air will echo with shouts of Huzza. FOR THE
PENNSYLVANIA FARMER !!--Pa. Tel.
"RI,I3II'SEY DUMPSF,Y."—The: Hon.SAM
UEL H. JENKs, the highly respectable'editor
of the Nantucket Enquirer, believes that
Mr. Van Buren purposely got Col. Johnson
nominated upon his ticket for the Vice.
Presidency that he tru. , ht himself the better
succeed by way of contrast. He says this
is precisely the character of Mr. Van Buren,
who is "a sly,.dissemulattng, hollow.heart
ed, cold, selfish, hvpocritical,double-dealing,
mousing political knave!" Rather severe
epithets these! But they come from one
ANDREW ROGERS.
Is, Internal Improrenumet, a
who was formerly a distinguished member
of the Jackson family, and who must be al
limed to know best as to their justness. Mr.
Jenks thinks Col. Johnson the best man at
the two, and puts the- public in possession of
the following historical facts from the Colo
nel's own mouth:
"What if Johnson did not kill Tecumseh
—and he told me with his own lips at Wash
ington five years ago, that the honor, if it
be one, could not possibly belong to him—
at the same time relating circumstances that
completely overthrew the suppositionstill
he was a man of courage—an attribute of
which Van Buren possesses not a particle
What if he did not write the Sunday Mail
Report—and the Report against Imprison
ment for Debt—exploits which he himselt
would in a moment disclaim, if questioned;
and the merit of which, none who know him
intimately, or ever heard him speak, would
undertake seriemly to demand for him—
still he defended, in his way, the principles
of those report's, and thereby advocated lib
eral and humane doctrines—evincing a dis
position of which Van Buren is utterly, con
stitutionally destitute."
FORTITCOMING -WORK.—The Louisville
(Ky.) Advertiser says, that, in due time, a
ful: statement of Col. Johnson's family af
fairs is to be given to the world. We are
not told at what precise period the volume
is to be put to press. We presume, ofcourse,
that the narrative will be published on yel
-1 low scented paper.—Louisville Journal.

a very delicate way of classing a man among
the African race.—Hear him:—
"The Georgetown Sentinel is perfectly
frantic at our exposition of the immoralities
of Col. R. M. Johnson. We shall bestow
some little attention upon the. Editor in our
next. We are neither surprised nor offend
ed at his sensibility on the subject of Col.
J's. character. Some time ago, we sup
posed him to be a Choetuw Indian; but we
are told, that a slight crispiness of his hair
and a trifling depression of the extremity of
his nose prove him to be one of the Colonel's
own children. Far be it from us to repro
bate filial affection."
We have one or two short questions for
any honest administration editor, that cheses
to answer them. Did Col. Johnson have
enough voteb in the Baltimore Convention,
deducting the fifteen votes of Tennessee, to
constitute a nomination for the Vice Presi
dency? Did the individual who gave those
fifteen votes for Col. Johnson, have any right
whatever to record them either for him or
any one else? if these two questions are
answered in the negative will any man pre
tend, that Col. Johnson is the legitimate
nominee of the Convention, or, that he ought
to be treated as such even by his own par
ty7—LouisDille Journal.
Mr. WA-rxixs of Goochland, who has for
several years past been a prominent, leader
of the Jackson party in our State Legisla
ture, declared emphatically, at Wheeling, a
few days - ago, that "Virginia would not con
cur in the nomination of Col. Johnson—and
that whatever reason there may have been
heretofore to doubt Mr. Van Buren's receiv
ing her vote, it was now curtain that he
would not obtain it."

there remain till the conclusion of the cere
mony. The rite was administered in the
evening in Granditiver, near Painesville,
not by the Prophet in person, but by his dis
ciples. In agr9ement with the prediction
of the prophet, on each occasion figure in
white was seen , on the opposite bank, and
the faith of the faithful was thereby greatly
increased. Suspicions, as to the incorporeal
nature of the reputed angel, at length in
duced a company of young men (unbelievers
of course) to examine the quality of the
ghost, and having secreted themselves they
awaited its arrii,al. Their expectations
wera soon realized, by its appearance in its
customary positiori, and rushing from their
lair, they succeeded in forcing it into the
stream, and 'although its efforts to escape
were powerful, they succeeded in bringing
it in triumph to the opposite side of the
stream, when who should this inhabitant of
the upper world be, but the Mormon prophet
himself!--Rochester Rep.
LOITISVILLE.-A paragraph in a late num
ber of the Louisville (Ky.) Advertiser,shews
in a striking light the rapid growth of that
city. We learn from that paper, that the
population of Louisville was, in 1810, 4,012;
in 1830, it was 10,336; and in 1835, it is
found to be 18,0(30--thus having increased
upwards of eight thousand five hundred, or
in other words, nearly doubled its popula
tion, within the short period of five years.
Who shall say that the Great West is a mis
nomer!—Balt. Pat.
BALTIMORE, June 29.
FATAL A CCIDENT.— We have to record a
melancholy, and in its termination, a fatal
accident, which occurred in this city, on
Saturday evening. At the moment when
the storm was at its height, a number of per
sons who had been passing to and fro, in the
vicinity, took shelter in the Court.houre.--
Among these was THOIII AS MARSHALL, Esq.
eldest son of Chief Justice Maishrill, who
bad just reached this city from the South,
on his way to visit his venerable parent,
now lying ill at Philadelphia. Mr. Mar
shall had just stepped within the door, and
gained a temporary shelter from the rain,
When the gale blew down one of the chim
ney tops of the building (rendered no doubt
more trail, in consequence of the late fire)
--the falling fragments made their way
through the temporary covering which had
been placed over the fiudding , since the fire,
and one of the bricks, in its . descent, struck
Mr. M. on the head, with such force as to
fracture his skull. • The unfortunate indi
vidual was borne to his lodgings, and medi
cal
aid was summoned immediately. On r
examination, we learn, the application or
the trepan was found necessary. An opera- 1
tion was performed, and for some hours af
ter, the condition of the sufferer appeared to
improve, and great hopes were entertained
of his recovery. But we exceedingly re
gret to say, that these hopes have been die- %".
appointed, and that notwithstanding the ut
most exertions of professional skill, and min
istering kindness, Mr. Marshall expired this
morning about half past five o'clock. The
deceased, we learn, was a member of the .;
Virginia House of Delegates, for the County
in which he resided; he was a gentleman of
large landed possessions, and has lett a faint
ly of six children. His remains were taken
this morning from the residence of Dr.
lexander, in Fayette street, to he deposited
in the family vault at Oak Hill, Fauquier
Co. Va. His death is a melancholy event
under every circumstance, and one in their
sorrowings for which the family and friends
of the deceased will have the deep sympa
thies of this community.—Pat.
RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.—AB a train of
passenger cars drawn by a locomotive en
gine, came within two hundred ynrds of
the inclined plane at Columbia, on Friday
evening last, a cow got on the track imm'
diately before them, with which the engine
came in contact. One or two of the cars
were thrown ()lithe track, and Daniel Mar
tin, of Columbia, jumping off the side of ono
of them, fell under the wheels and was im
mediately killed.—Republican.
Tsmer.sr.—On C'aturtlay evening last,
a tempest raged in this section of the coun
try, which was very destructive in its effects.
The winds blew a tremendous gale, and the
rain fell in torrents, rushing down the streets
in floods. No injury more than breaking
°lithe limbs of trees, was done in town, but
the house and barn of n person named Rhode
in Paradise township, were unroofiql, as was
also the public house of Mr. Peter Wolf, a
bout five miles from York on the Gettvs.
burg turnpike. In a piece of woods a short
distance from town, in a length of three
fourths of a mile through which the tempest
swept, more than two hundred trees were
blown doWn. We Observed that the grain
in many fields was prostrated to the surface
of the ground, and the new-mown hay which
WAS exposed to the weather, must have
been much injured, if some of it be not de
stroyed. A second storm occurred on Sun.
day afternoon, which was not, however, so
furious as that of the previous day. One
would almost suppose from the Remt - its of
violent tempests which come to hand from
every part of the country,,that we , have ex
changed climates with the West Indies.[/b.

KrWe give, in another column from
the Baltimore Patriot, an account of the
melancholy death of Mr. MARSHALL, son
of Chief Justice MARSHALL.
Oz :During the storm of Saturday week
last, four or five of our citizens were in
Rock Creek fishing, when a clap of thunder
bro't them to their knees and stunned them
for a few seconds. They, however, receiv
ed no injury from the shock—but were
"considerably frightened!"
A SHOW 1
nr" Some of our youngsters, "fond of
fun and frolic," intend having a "Fantastical
Parade" on SATURDAY NEXT, at 4
o'clock P. M. COI. WILDFIRE has issued
his proclamation, stating that the "Com
monwealth is in danger!" that his soldiers
are "its glorious hope!" that the "banner,
bearing the "whole animal," will be unfurl
ed, under which they will march to meet his
enemies!!" We have no doubt the Colonel's
men will make n grand display.
KrAmong our exchange papers of great
value, is the "CARLISLE EXPOSITOR," one of
the earliest and most efficient advocates of
the People's rights in the State. The
"Expositor" has recently been enlarged,
and passed into the hands of JOHN L. Mc-
Conn & CO., who are zealous in support of
the Washington county Farmer. With
such able and spirited journals as the "HER
ALD" and "ExPosuort," the people of Cum
berland cannot but be well informed upon
all rangers of interest. The following no.
• •-
tice of the Expositor, we copy from the Har
risburg Telegraph:—
CARLISLE Exrosrron.—We have taken
much pleasure in noticing the improvement
this paper has undergone within a few weeks
—since it come into the hands of JOHN
M'-
CORD & and we are pleased to learn
that it has already met with a great acquisi
tion to its subscription list. The Expositor
is handsomely printed, and edited with abili
ty and spirit, and we see that its effect al
ready has been to strengthen the ranks and
confidence of our friends in that county.—
We rejoice at its success, and should any of
our patrons want a paper from Carlisle we
take the liberty of recommending the Ex.
rostTon. As a medium of advertising too,
from its patronage, it probably oilers greater
inducements than any other paper in that
place.—Pa. Tel.
Kr We call attention to the refutation (co
pied into another column from the Washing
ton Reporter) of the renewed slander, by the
Masonic party, against .JOSEPH RITNER.-
The Compiler, we believe, has not yet re
published the slander. It has however been
"conspicuously inserted" in that eleventh
hour turn-coat, edited by the Siamese twins
in renegade•ism. The Compiler, lost and
abandoned as it heretofore has been in po
litical infamy, is quite decent and respecta
ble when compared with the Renegades'
sheet! We are,' therefore, not surprised that
its Editors should be foremost in abuse of
the man they once delighted to honor. It
is in character with other spirits of alike na
ture. W hen Satan was cast out of Paradise
for his iniquity, he set about pulling down
its pillars. So with other kindred spirits:
Eternity, however, will ever find them strug
gling-at Impossibilities. Old wick will nev
er upset Paradise—neither will his "hope
ful boys," with all their Parson's prayers,
PREVAIL AGAINST THE WILL AND MAJESTY
OF THE PEOPLE!
0z:1 - The Harrisburg "State Journal" con
tains two letters dated from this place, neith
er ot which is characterized by truth,and por
trays either a recklessness in the author, or
a total ignorance of the town or county in
winch he resides.
O ::?" - The Harrisburg Reporter is becom
ing more and more desperate as the election
approaches! It is afraid Anti• Masonry is go
ing to save the State, and in its zeal to raise
the cry "proscription!" "proscription!" and
all that sort of thing, against the friends of
Ritner, it overlooks the "Parson's pretty.
boys!" Its conduct at rengthens the suspicion,
that it is R political Hermaphrodite—that its
Editors are friendly to both Wolf and Muh
lenberg—and that, should either be elected,
to show consistency one or the other - will
sell out to the partner on .the successful
side! Well, be it so. The election of the
Old Farmer will however cut the cord that
I separates the twins without going to the
trouble anticipated.
MARKET.
the Baltimore Patriot.]
KTIt is a well-deserved saying of Holy
Writ, that "It is hard to kick against the
pricks." The Muhlenberg faction especial.
ly in this county are well convinced of the
fact. Look at them--do you find them of
fering sober arguments and sound reasoning
why the Parson ought to be elected by the
people? Or do you find them advancing any
reasons or arguments at all? No! Were
they as plenty as blackberries, they are
neither capable or willing of giving any—
for the plain, simple reason, that it is an
element into which they cannot soar! The
only tact or talent they have, is in open,
hare-faced assertions, false accusations, and
low blackguardisms and personal abuse of
private citizens! This is their ground. Get
them off once, yet, like the dog returning
to his vomit, they crawl back again into
their proper and more congenial element!!
But they begin to find, that the people want
something more substantial and more con
vincing thaa their impudent assertions—
they are unable to give it, and hence their
desperation!
Another thing which attracts the atten
tion of the people, deserves notice. That
the Leaders of the Muhlenberg faction are
the very ones who were foremost in the Tie
fence of Wolf in 1832! They say, and with
truth too, how can we believe the very men
who are now charging Gov. Wolf with the
very things which they committed PERJU
RIES and FORGERIES to show untrue when
the charges were brought against the Gov
ernor
I I
by the friends of Ritner, three short
years ago? Can we believe they are sincere
now as well as then? No! no! We cannot
believe it. They have something more in
view, when they turn traitor to their prin
ciples and unfeeling ingrates to their friends,
and foreswear themselves and their par
ty principles, than the good of the "dear
people," as they term us. We will eschew
such leaders and their rotten principles, and
rally around the Washington County Far
mer, who looks more to the interestsof Penn- 1
sylvania than to Party feelings—party en
tanglements. We are for "Ritner and Re-
form!"

(15r - The "dander" of that lengthy exqui
site, the Junior Editor of the Parson's bant
ling in York street, is "considerably up" a
bout the Wreath! He is altogether envious
of its increasing popularity! Although com
menced as an experiment, without subscri
bers, we now print equal to TEN quires
each week, and are adding new subscribers
daily to our list, from Maryland, Virginia,
and other places. We also have more sub
scribers to it in the Borough than the Ju
nior's delectable sheet—and while he is
losing, we are rapidly gaining! In order,
therefore, to decry its merits he wishes to
enlist partizan feeling against it, by falsely
stating that it is the same paper that was
printed last fall and then called the "Com
m!" We shall not degrade the columns of
the "Wreath" by a controversy with such
a fellow; but will here state one thing, and
then leave it to the people to judge of his
sincerity or love of truth in making
,the as
sertion. He says—"lt [The Wreath] is
the same that was got up last fall, under the
name of the Comet, for a similar purpose;
the only difference is, that the slanders of
the "Comet" were furnished to its readers
gratuitously, while the publisher receives
pay for those contained in the "Wreath."
If such is the fact, why did he call on us
PEUSON-4-LLY, subscribe for it, wish us suc
cess in our undertaking; and hope st would
be encouraged? •

good folks of the cities. Now, we are not

thing from the "Gettysburg Star!" What
wonders transpire in the course of time! and
we should not be surprized to find,ere long,
yet we hope it will 'be long, our old friend
of Federal memory, on the side of the Peo

ing there will be among the raw-bones of
"Morgan's ghost," which now haunts our
friend's vision so much!
OzrOur respected and well-beloved friend
of the "magicals," is as "cool as a cucum

of it, and hope the matter in our last neither
stirred up his gall, or "riz" his "dander!"

of the "Review" in the, last Compiler, to in

"I was gulled!"
Mn. MIDDLETON,
It often happens that the most suspicious
of men will sometimes be "gulled" or taken
in. Some few months since I was solicited
to become a subscriber to a paper which
would, as was stated in the prospectus, ad
vocate the pure principles of Anti-Masonry.
Always opposed to Secret Societies, and
feeling a willingness to encourage one of the
men stated as one of its Editors, (although
I could never bring my mind to form the
most correct estimate of the character, hon
or or consistency ofthe other,) I subscribed
for the paper for six months. In due time,
the paper appeared, and, although under an
other name, I felt somewhat pleased with it
—at the same tune 1 wil!: a little surprised
that nothing was said about what was
to be its leading principle. 11, however, I
was then surprised on that head, I have since
become mortified at its management, and
disgusted at the low blackguardism and per
sonal abuse ofprirate citizens which weekly
teems through its columns from the pen of
the Junior Editor—for I cannot believe that
the Senior Editor either countenances its
abuse, or participates in its editorial man
agement. If he does, I am disappointed in
the man—and would, as a friend, advise
hub, for the sake of his family, to withdraw
from the concern, before it and its partner
involves him in ruin. With others who
were deceived and taken in, the paper will
not be received by me longer than the time
paid for—which will end on the 17th of Ju
ly. It has become a disgrace to the town
in which it is located, and no man who has
any regard for the feelings and morals of
his family, should suffer it to come into his
house. I cannot—Will not.
ONE WHO WAS ONCE GULLED.
O::TThe Democratic Herald says:—
We observe, an the Country papers, va
riou3 accounts of the probable votes on the
Governor's Election—and these papers, be
ing more fresh, and less biased by intrigues
and cabals, than city journals, we have much
conficlence in. * Thousands hnve not
yet made up their minds for whom they
will vote:—nor have parties yet assumed
that distinct position to authorise any decid
ed opinion as to the election of any one Con
didate. It is generally conceded that Mr.
Wolf, will be defeated by a large majority.
In our opinion, Mr. Ritner will be elected!"
- A destructive hail storm was experienced
in Prince George's Comity, Md. on the 26th

A hail storm, yesterday in the afternoon
about tour o'clock, destroyed every thing in
the fields, wheat, corn, in short the very
grasi is beaten to the ground; houses and
trees are laid low. The Wheat fields are

‘used up" last fall, so completely •that it had
to douse its original beaver, and assume that
ofanother, (its Editors remaining the same,)
states that the Comet is vet alive and kick
ing, but nailer another name! This is false!
The Comet will always he the Comet; and
its Editor will always continue firm in his
principles—The Editor find his paper ever
despising Renegades! P. P. Esq.
SUPPLEMEN'I"IO
SIX MONTHS IN A CONVENT.
R USSELL, ODIORNE -& -CO. are
stereotyping, and will soon publish, in
a volume, corresponding in size and form to
that of "Six Months in a Convent," the
Supplement to Six Months in a Convent,
confirming the narrative of REBECCA Tun-
BESA REED, by the testimony of more than
ONE HUNDRED WITNESSES, whose state
ments have been given to the Committee--
with some further explanations of the Nor.:
rative BY MISS REED, and an Exposition of
the system of Cloister Education, by the
Committee of Publication. Also, a minute
Narrative of the Elopement' of Miss Hard.'
son—with an Appendix.
"'Tie Education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined."
More than half of the above work, has al
ready gone through the press. Its publica
tion has been delayed to wait the promised
"Documentary Evidence," which the "Lady
Superim ," and her "Preliminary." in her
answer to Miss Reed, pledged themselves to
produce immediately. It is understood that
the design is abandoned. Should it not have
been, the Committee are desirous to meet all
evidence that can be produced to discredit
the "Narrative." They are also particular-
ly desirous to obtain copies of the Novice's
and other Directories, and the genuine. Rules
of St. Augustine, which were in use at the
Convent. These documents, which would
fully confirm Miss Reed, the friends of the
Convent withhold from the public.
Thee publishers ure confident that the 'Sup
plement' will be found equal in interesting de
tail to the original Narrative, 'and that it
will be greatly superior as a sound and con
vincing demonstration or the dangers of
CLOISTER EDUCATION. An equal a
mount of important facts, proofs and argu
inent in a popular form, have probably never
been collected and arranged in so small a
space, in the whole history of the Catholic
controversy. The object is truth and. argu
ment, not abuse and invective.
KTEditors who publish the above notice,
and forward a copy of the paper containing
it to the 'American Traveller, Boston,' shall
receive a copy of the work.
