(7 - ".1%10 man has been more abused and vilhfied than i he one whose name standsat the head of this article. Every pretext has been resorted to, for the purpose of heaping ob loquy upon his head. We are told that in his private circle, no man stands higher, or enjoys the confidence of his neighbors and acquaintances to a greater degree, than Jo. snPii Rrt NEIL. He is kind, affable and ob liging to all--even his worst enemies, laying politics aside, admit all this. Yet because the people have seen fittoplace him in nomi nation for the Gubernatorial chair, the oc casion has been seized, by demons in hu man shape, for the purpose of blasting his lair and irreproachable character! PEWIT. ' Tans, FORGERIES,and all manner ot false. hood and detraction have undergone their course to effect this purpose. To his eter. nal disgrace be it said, the Editor of the Washington Examiner, who is a vile and bitter Mason, outrivals all odic, scoundrels in his abuse of Mr. Ritner, one of the most inestimable members of his county! We are happy, however, to find others of that coun ty, who do not belong to the Anti-Masonic party, ready to step forward in defence of Mr. Ratner. The "Patriot," published at Parkinson's Ferry, Washington county,cuts the following paragraph from the Washing ton Examiner, and appends to it the remarks which will be found below. The Patriot is i an able and talented Whig paper. "It would be one of the most extraordinary events that could he imagined in politics,i t it such a man as Joseph Rimer, an open-rnouthed,uliasive U. S. Dank advocate, an enemy to the School Law, and in every 'other respect unworthy, could be elected Governor of Pennsylvania." —lVashingion Examiner. This quotation from the "Examiner" is .in the usual spirit of that print, when the name of Mr. Ramer is on the tapis. The ruthless hostility of this subsidized print was coeval with the first announcement of the name. of this estimable gentleman for public filvor, and in the unenviable Voce lion of the defamer of private worth it has labored with an unremitting industry, wet.- ' thy a nobler cause. The opposition of the "Examiner" has been any thing but honor chic and high minded:. that magnanimity - which shines forth as the admirable charac teristic or its more liberal contemporaries, forms no part of the leading character of this print. With the "Examiner" "the end justifies the means"—be those means .never so base and dishonorable; and, perhaps, .in the course of the whole political history of this County, we muld - search fruitlessly .for a parallel to the course which has been pursued by this paper, in relation to Mr. Raner. It has given publicity to the gross est, foulest slanders against this gentleman, 'that were ever promulgated against any man living. The gelidity of his private .domicil has been violated—the characters ef his domestic circle have been, basely as sailed—the witherinf , charge of Infidelity has been trumpeted fo rth, e ' and this too, after it had been unequivocally stamped with FALSEHOOD, and its authors branded with richly merited infamy—his military servi ces, rendered his country at a period of Pe culiar idanger to her Liberties, has been made a subject of prolific obloquy and the charge of 'desertion' alleged against him who was toiling amidst almost insurmounta ble obstacles, encountering imminent and perplexing difficulties, has been reiterated from time to time, and this too, after the foul calumny had received a full and manly refutation from the compatriots of Mr. flit rier. These are a few of the more dark and inveterate calumnies which have been propagated by the print under notice. To recapitulate the numberless falsehoods that have been issued from that press, would re quire more time than we can devote •at present. • The,"Examiner"can.with the fullest pro •prietv appropriate to itself the exclusive honor . (if lOzy,_thote:be) of having been the first togiVa ; padicity to these wanton' and fietidiA calumnies;—and, indeed, circum, stances would warrant the assertion, that its Editor was the originator of theso,definna tory tales. The opposition of this print is peculiar—unlike that of any other paperin• the country. There is a degree of malfg nity and hatred which characterises the . .opposition of tho "Examiner," that appears .lit .none other, whenever it becoMes neees• - sal* te allude to Mr. Ritner. its attacks are diefinguislied 'for low personality, and were the least reliance to be placed in its assertions—were one fourth true that it says to the discredit of this gentleman, he would to rill and should not be trusted with 4 0 pied inconsiderable office in the Com itionwealth.

Atar It is peculiarly gratifying to the friends of Reform ; to see the spirit which pervades the Working Men, 'from the Delnivae to the Ohio, in favor of Farmer Ritner. have taken some pains to ascertain the sentiments generally, and the result has been the most unequivocal conviction that Ritner's majority cannot be less than Fifty Thousand. There is a class of high fed fellows in the state, sir, who have for a long time been (as it were) sapping the ve ry heart's blood of the working men, and who have become so intoxicated with the success which we have so frequently given them, that they now presume upon our c red. ulity so far as to suppooe thnt we can be in duced to do any thing fur them. We have twice assisted them in electing George Wolf; they want us to do so again; we have told them repeatedly that we would not. "But," said we, "give us a new nian."— Then soy the office seekers, vote fir our man Muhlenborg. To this we object more strongly than the other, because we are 'Republicans, and while we are unwilling that the office-holders should control us altogether, we are still_more unwilling, and conceive it more repugnant to the spirit and genius of Republicanism to be brought under the control of a combinaiion of . " Legal and Clerical influence," and we are not ig norant of the fact that the whole arrange ment was made between Lawyer Buchanan and Parson Muhlenberg; the former was to be sent to the Senate of the United States, and the latter to be announced as the only "Simon Pure" democrWtic candidate leg iti- Mate heir to the Gubernatorial chair. Our votes are not to be bought and sold like merchandize; we s will not be thus disfran chized ; the right of suffrage is too sacred a privilege to he made a matter of pure specu lation and that too by the management oft wo old Federalists, one of whom has "sold his birth right for a mess of pottage," and the other thrown himself into the Democratic ranks, not from principle but for interest. The writer of these remarks is a Democrat and nlways has been ens, and that is the very reason why he cannot vote for the Parson, the same reason will also apply-to Wolf, because it is evident that the voice of the Democracy of the state was in favor of a new man, hut the office holders and office seekers have again succeeded, and Wolf and Muhlenborg are willing to lend their names. The only course then for honest men to pursue is clearly pointed out to go RITNER; he is a Democrat in principle; his democracy has never been qnestioned except by the influence of office holders and their minions. He will conduct the afiltirs of state as he does those of his farm, upon he principles of economy and prudence, and if in his support an evil be at all admitted, it will certainly be the least of three, and his election will at any rate teach the gentry of our state that the "Spirit of '76" is still a live, and that working men will not submit to be bowers of wood and drawer- of water either for foreign. Princes or domestic "Dic tators ;" and so sure as "By Industry we Thrive," so certain will the prosperity of Pennsylvania depend upon the working men rejecting the Lawyer and the Parson, and rallying around the "Farmer of !Washing ton County." "RITNER AND REFORM," should be the watchword of every. Froiu the Democratic (Multlenherg) Herald. LOOK II EN El • The idea that Mr. Muhletsherg will take any of the rotes of Mr. Ratter, Is %MOLLY ERRONEOUS, AND UNSI.I3I'AINED 11Y . AN IC I that he should be singled out as an object for the shafts of insatiable and ruthless male ! voltaic° to be aimed at? In all the public stations to which he has been called, he has sustained an enviable reputation, and acquir ed a character for business habits and the strictest probity in the discharge of the du. ties pertaining thereto, which few can boast. As a cit izen be is esteemed and beloved, and whenever occaF•ion offers his fellow-citizens "delight to honor him." No man more eminently' combines in his individual char actor, the qualifications to suit him :or the responsible station, to which his fellow-citi zens are about to call him. Firmness of character—inflexibillity of purpose, when pursuing proper and wise ends—irreproach able integrity—a spotless moral character, and we know, though we believe he is in connexion with no particular denomination of Cli rist ians,he nevertheless hi L hly esteems and loves the cause olChristianity—the oft repeated calumnies of his traducers to the contrary notwithstanding. The farming and laboring interests—the cause of litera ture and the improvement system of Penn. sylvania, in his elevation to the Chief Mag istracy, will secure an efficient friend—an unwavering/advocate. The assertion of t he "Exa,miner," that Mr. Ritner is an enemy of the School Law, we hesitate not to pro nounce untrue. That he fully approves of the present law, unmodified, unimproved, may not be the fact. But that he is a firm and zealous advocate of such a system of Educatiort as will dispense its blessings a like to all classes—the poor as well as the rich, we are warranted in maintaining from our knowledge of the benevolence of his character. Emphatically the poor man's friend—a characteristic of which he is proud—it would be injustice to him to snit. pose for a moment, that he would wish to withhold this precious boon from the poor man's child. Not he. Such an object, having in view such a glorious end, will se cure the whole weight of his powerful mind and influence in its promotion The :illusion of the "Examiner" to ,fr. R itner's advocacy of the Bank, is unworthy of notice—it is contemptible. Whatever may be Mr. Ritner's views on this "vexed question," it - is quite certain the country will sustain no injury from them. The Bank will .have to close its concerns—the imperial *bet has gone forth, and like the laws of the Merles and Persians, it is irre vocable—irreversible. So mute it be.

As it relates to the Party, therefore, which nominated Mr. Ititner,none will leave him for Mr. Muli• lenberg. Where then, are the rotes of the hater,to come from!

JosEnt RITNER.—We have never for one 'moment wavered in our conviction, that owing to tl.e peculiar relation of parties andcandidates, Mr. Raver would receive the highest plural vote for Governor, at the next October Election, by at least from 10 to '20,000 majority. This result will flow necessarily from the large Whig v,,ite (45, 000) which will be given to Mr. Rimer, and which formerly was gtveu to Mr. Wolf, in the greaser proportion. The Anti-Masons at any time poll an equal number, 45,000, which will produce an aggregate of 00,000! This will leave 110,000 votes to he divided between Mr. Wolf and Mr. Muhlenberg, say 00,000 to the latter, and 50,00) to Mr. Wolf. A more exact proportion of the vote cannot now be well made. Allowing for every possible variation and change of opin ' ion, the result as to Mr. Riiner's majority cannot be affi!cted in flirt, however it may 1 1 diminish in numbers. Even if Mr. Rimer should receive but 80,000 votes, still lie must be elected. We make this estimate from facts and jigurex; and without any un due feeling. or partiality--our sympathies being politically on the adverse side—yet, unmixed with any undue prejudice one way or the other.

I:nportant vicissitudes are constantly ta king place in the moral and physical worlds —many of which,as demonstrated by exile• rience,have proven of immense utility. But innovations are frequently dangerous,and in within(' have they so frequently proven de trimental as in politics. In this department, they have been so frequently fraught with iv-rub:ions and even fatal consequences,that it should only be after the most mature and cautious deliberation, that they be adopted. The revolution and final overthrow of na tions,have been the result of rash and preci pitate changes in the settled policy which governed them; nor are we exempt from the same fate which has befallen others, if wo imitate their mad example. The new-tangled Democracy of Adams County, composed of a band of political des. peradues, ambitious and disappointed office holders and ollice-seekers,who have neither moral nor political integrity to merit the confidence of their superiors in power, or of the sovereign people, are making every ex ertion to effect their vile projects.

EDITOR, In the "Compiler" of the 14th inst., there appeared a communication over the signa ture of "JouN B. CLARK " —armed as it were with a tomahawk in one hand and a scalping knife in the other, hurling them a round Into in his usual bombast ick style,bid ding defiance to every perFon who might dare to peep at the . "Beauties" of the gen tleman. But not withstanding the weapons, and the mighty force with which they are wedded, there must be another addition to the "New Work just issued" styled the "Beauties of Clark " John IL Clark, in his Epistle to the pub lic, says he has been accused by unknown persons as being a defaulter to the Com monwealth, through the columns of the A n• ti. Masonic Star, &c., and that they knew at the time of his removal that he did not owe the Comnu•.nwealtli one cent. In the next" place, he says it is true, he had an unsettled account previous to his removal, of some• thing upwards of one hundred dollars. Let us now examine into ling nutter , and see how it stands, and the public will then be better able to judge: In 1830, April oth, the Legislatuie of Pennsylvania passed a Law, ma king it the duty ofthe several Registers and, Recorders, to demand and receive . for every mortgage, or ether instrument to be recorded,fifty cents; for the Probate of a Wills and Letters 'Fes lamentary thereon, fifty cents; and for let ters of administration the sum of fitly cents, to be paid to the Conunonwealth in the rid lowiog manner—the Registers and Recor ders, shall each and all, on or before the first day of °doh( in every year,,account fur on oath, or affirmation, to the Auditor Gen• eral, and pay into the 7 reaeury the several amoantEr of taxes by them respectively re ceived, previous to the first day of Septeni• her in each year, in pursuance of this net; deducting therefrom three per centuni for receiving and paying over said amount; in cue of neolect they forfeit the per centum. In the first place, Mr. Clark says "they knew he did not owe the Commonwealth one cent at the time of his removal." This I take the liberty of contradicting, inasmuch as his account, commencing front the first day of Oetober last, it, to the time of his re moval from office, remains at this time un set Ced and lowa id,and mit the account ivhich he speaks of in his Epistle as unsettled.— The law requires these officers to settle their accounts as hefore staled, which I presume if r. Clark had done, which gives it a quite dlferent shape frt:m an unsettled account. If Mr. Cloak had stated in his Eilistle that his settled account with the Auditor Gener al remained unpaid for the years 1833 and with the exception of fitly dollars which was paid in the fall of 18;b1, and then left a ballance due the Commonwealth of near one hundred and filly dellars, it would have been correct. Was not Mr. Clark frequently re quired by the proper officer at Harrisburg, to pay over the amount due by him to the Commonwealth, and did he not in his usual way b e , for longer time? Mr. Clark having been indulged in the above balanne until about the middle of A pril 135, when the account was sent on to an Attorney for collection, and Mr. Clark repotted to the Governor as a defitulter.— •In this case, juthring front the character of Gov. Wolf, lie would not hesitate long in making the removal. Mr. Clark's account was paid about the first of May last, and General Miller's commissions bears date a bout the same time—therefore the Govern or could not have known that Clark's ac count was paid at the time Gen. Miller was appointed. From the above statement it will be seen that two years of Clark's settled account (with the exception of the credit,) remained unpaid for two years and a half, the law re quiring it to be paid annually on the first of September. This I believe to be the true cause of r. Clark's removal, arid not as he states, his opposition to the Governor's re election. Had the latter been the cause, why was not r. Picking- also renn.ved.who is as much opposed to the election of Gov ernor \Voir, and in favor of the election of Parson Aluldenberg as John B. Clark? I have now done with this subject; it is plain, simple, and ea,y to be understood, and have no doubt it will be more easily com prehended, than the lengthy Epistle which appeared above the signature of John IL Clark, who boasts so much of his influence, brims, &c. and the shallowness of others. 'Tis to be lamented that Mr. Clark, could not, amongst his numerous admirers, have found one willing to sound the praise which he so very modestly gives to the admiring world over his own signature! His own as sertions relative to his great merits, can dour, and total unfitness to play hypocrite, will neither add to, nor diminish his proper standing! Here he is known by his acts, and by them aloud will lyr judged, whenever the people shall think him of sufficient conse quence to investigate his true character.— He was asked a plain question, this he has evaded, arid instead of an answer, he pro cures to be dressed up a goodly furore some what genteel in appearance, and ofli!rs it to the world as the ',while of John B.

We think rather strangely ofthis, an wo mailed the Mirror, regularly Ihr the Galaxy. rerhaps it is an oversight— Nous nerrens. Ki-Wc copy the above from the "Wash ington Mirror." We also have been guilty of the same kindness towards the "Boston Galaxy," and have also been treated as the "Mirror" in return! If the Boston Editor has been playing off one of his "yankee tricks" upon us, why we suppose we will have to "grin and bear it," and content our self by saying, that however we may ad the cuteness of the trick, we cannot but despise the dishonesty and knavery of the inventor. For the lat tor characteristics, he is placed beside the Publishers of the N. York ' ' Minstrel," "Parlor Journal" and "New Yorker"—all of whom have serv4 us the same trick ! hat will our country friemktßiiili: of a fellow who will tell them on the sheet, every hour in tho day, that he admits,4l , Rimer will be elected by a largeOnalett ;i that Gov. Wolf's chance of being second best is much• better than thfe:ltenegade Par son's—and then state, in his paper, with an affirmation that he is sincere and wishes not to mislead, that the Parson's chance of being elected is the best; that he will beat Wolf "two to one," and that he "endangers the success" of Ratter? We beliette they will suspect him of being a dishonest hypocrite, and of utterinit what he knows to be a "libel on both truth and common sense!" We are not the political- friend of Gov. Wolf—on the contrary, have done and shall continue to do all in our power,' honestly, to defeat his election and insure that of Mr. (tinier; but truth leads us to say this much, that in no event ran Gov. Wolf be re•eleeted; but that he will receive a larger portion of the votes of the late Jackson party than will Mr. Muldenberg—the effi-ct of Gen. Jack son's toast in his favor is proof of this, the the "explanations" of the Muhlies to the 'Contrary notwithstanding. The assertion that Mr. Muhlenberg en. dangers Mr. Ritner's success, is all fudge. If either endangers his election, it is Mr. W(11. But we have nothing to fear from either. The farmers have generally all said in their 4th of July toasts— "Der Bauer von Washington County!" (0-The Parson's bantling of Lancaster contains an extract of a letter "from a respeetable,undeviating,and not to be doubted Democrat," of this couuty,in which the writer states, that "a large portion of the Anti- Masonic, party [of Adams county] are warm friends of Muhlenberg—llitner's majority in 1532 over Wolf was 649, this year it cannot possibly exceed 300— some say not 209 " 1!! We shall not dispute the Edi tor's opinion of the "respectability" of the fellow who wrote the letter—but we will say, that if the above assertions arc to be taken as evidence of his "respec tability," it shows very little respect for 'MUTH. We shall therefore, not only take the liberty to doubt the the last assertion, but alsn'say that the first is abso lutely false! The Anti-Masons and all other friends of Pennsylvania interests, will, to a man,rally around the Washington Farmer. All renegades will of course follow their renegade leader Such are not,nor never werc,gcnhline Anti-Masons or Democrats. 10 - 'We loam trim Mr. Chu k's coinumnicatitm, that it was rumored that he was turned out of of fice on account of being a Defaulter. This we suppose, is as he states to be, an error. We have however heard it said, (and, as it is honorable to the Governor, are willing to believe it,) that the realfacts relative to the "Forged Lotter: wore ne ver made known to Gov. Wolf until lust winter; end that when he became fully acquainted with them, ho immediately determined to remove the author flican °Oleo. If this rumor be true, it gives us a better opinion of Gov. Wolf than we had be. fore. K.7 - AVIly du renegades in politics like to i-e.legades in Religion? Beenuse'birds ofa feather always will flock together!" Mn. MIDDLETON, There was no need for the While "Junior to add a "P. S." to a beautiful specimen of the weakly productions of his "youthful" brain—What he invites me to do, 1 have; WITH MANY OTHERS, done lung since. I owe hin►, nothinrr, and never shall until he turns honest! That I was a subsCriber to his "dirty sheet," (1 blush to own it!) he knows —and that I am not now, he also knows.-- So good bye to the Iliip!"

On the 13th ' Air. James GALLAGILEU, of Mount pleasant township. Departed this life,on the 21st inst. at his residence in Franklin township ; Mr. VALENTINE FLOllli,in the 59th year Of his age. Mr. Flohr has been well known to many people in Adams county as an honest and upright maa. his ill ness was protracted and distressing, yet he was pa tient in sttli,:ring,nnil submissive under the chastening hand of his Heavenly Father. His faitn in the all-, sufficiency of his blessed Redeemer was firm; and to the last hour of his earthly existence, his hope of a blessed immortality suffered him nut to be ashamed. The piety of the deceased was unnbtrusive;and evin ced itself rather by works titan mere professions. As a member of the Evangelical Church, he was atten tive to his duties, and exemplary as a chriattan; all a husband,he wits afflible and affectionate; as a citizen, he was honest and benevolent, and the poor were not turned empty away from his door; as a friend, he dis charged the ditties of hospitality,not-with parade. but with christian simplicity. The church, his amiable and bereaved widow,and his vicinity, have lost lint their Icss,is Iris gain. On the 22d, his mortal r.- mains were committed to the earth at Flohr's church. The obiequies were performed by his Pastor. A nu merous congregation of afflicted relativesmulsympa-• thizing friends, were present, and evinced their love towards the departed, and their sense of their loss by the unaffected tears which they shed. lint— " Why do we mourn du' Carting friends? Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his anus." [&ommunicated A D VERIISEM EN TS.
