Gazette THADDEUS STEVENS, ESQ. The splei.did turnout of the Anti-Masons, on the Fourth of July, has put the editors of' the Statesman, Mercury, and Democrat in. a desperate passion. Butler is mortified because the Whig Masons could not muster a hundred strong at their dinner, although , the inducement was held out of strong, drink and -victuals, including cucumbers, and all the delicacies of the season—Snowden and Johns are mad at ,Stevens, and blackguard hini, because they could not raise more than forty hungry Wolfies to eat mutton, at fifty cents a head! and because some mischievous boys, mistaking them for the real animal, pelted them elegantly with 'their own pota tees!—The Muhtenberg men had not enough to make a decent funeral, sit, they sit mum, but are evidently as much mortified as . the others. Altogether Altogether the opposition,includina Whig ' Masons, Wolf men, and Mulies, although they had three dinners, could not bring out more than one hundred end fifty; while the Anti-Masons, in the open air; after encoun tering every species of obstacle, assembled more than Two TliolismlD scans, including two hundred ladks, to do what? "to eat, and drink, and be merry," no, by no manna— They had no feasting—they had nothing to eat—nothing to drink but pure wholesome water—they came together from all parts of the county--not the turnpils and toad eaters -not the cocknies and dandies of the town —not the infields, agrarians, and Fanny Wright men who have been imported from Europe—but two thousand of the hardy yeomanry of the country, and the honest, in dustrious mechanics and business men of the city, left their farms, their workshops, and their stores upon a market day, the bu siest day of a busy people, and met together, at Pittsburg, to 'celebrate, the Anniversary of our Independence, like rational moral and accountable beings., They did so celebrate that glorious day; and each one went to his home rejoicingin the opportunity which hod been afforded to hire of enjoying a rich Intel - tellectual banquet. It is no wonder, then, that such men as Butler, and Snowden, and Jones, should feel enraged at their own disappointment, and vent their spleen upon the distinguished stranger, who came to this city an invited guest; and, whilst here captivated the souls of hundreds and thousands by his matchless eloquence.. But tl'e trio should not thus expose themselves to public ridicule. All -that they have said, is lost upon all those who listened to THADDEus STEvENs at Pitts burg on the Fourth of July, 1835. Every man and woman who heard him is calmor ous in his praise. His enemies when he came here,eall6d him in ridicule,'the Lion.' They named him well, for he is now, emphatically the Lion of the day! From the Baltimore Patriot PENNSYLVANIA.-It was a severe stroke • to the Muhlie leaders in Philadelphia, when they found by the letter and toast of General Jackson to the leaders of the "Anxious Row" celebration in that city, that the old Roman had turned Wolfman. Henry Horn "can't lie," but it is probable that he might swear a little on extraordinary occasions; and if -ever he sought relief in that way,we presume it must have been, when •he first read this toast. Well might he exclaim ET TU BRUTE —are you also turned Wolfman! But it that were his first, Mr. Horn's next move was - more indicative of the cunning politician and prudent leader. He immedi• ately sat himself down to address a letter to 'General Jackson, with a faint hope of draw. ing something from hirri . ,.e.tplanatory of his toast, or perhaps disavowing the inferences which the Wolfites could not but draw, of his partiality for their candidate. Mr. Horn forwarded his letter, and in due time was honored with a reply from the ;Second Washington," who never meddles in State politics, or attempts to control the freedom of elections! This reply, it would seem, was not exactly what Mr.• Horn anticipated, or at least not all that he Wished,and he straight way addressed another lugubrious note to his great Patron. To this also there seems to • have been an answer sent by return mail. • And we sire left to inter that Mr. Horn con sidered his diplomacy in some measure suc. ceesful, from the fact that he immediately published the second letter which he receiv• ed from Gen. Jackson, while he was careful In - keep back the first. This is the more - remarkable, as the second letter contains an •express permission to publish the first letter but contains no such permission with regard to the second. The Wolfmen have not been slow to note these circumstances. And as they learn, by authority, that the first letter contains the Hero's opinions of "Governor• Wolf and General Muhlenberg,," they have raised a loud shout for the production of the letter. Thus far, however, Mr. Horn has turned a deaf ear to these calls, , and makes the most of a had case, by keeping the first letter to himself. The following is the so. cend of these precious documents. Where Mr. Muhlenberg earned the title of GENER. AL, so c.omplaoently bestowed by the Com. mander•m•chief,we are not advised:- RIP RAPS, July 21, 1835. Daart.Sra:—Your letter of the 15th has just been received. It is only necessary for ma to repeat in reply to what I have explain ad at large in my former letter. My toast has not the leastieference to any thing touching • ' the present Pennsylvania election. It was e just tribute to the bemncraci, ofthe State, and naturally associated with the sentiment An honor of the resistance it made to the Sink the public agent through whom it was made efrrcuisl. Tire toast had . reference Ate the past, and not to the present; and was dictated by grateful recollections, without - design on my part to . vcomplish any future °Neat, nor was it, intended to express any j rife rgntte in regard to the parties to the '•pressnt gubernatorial contest. Opinions in regard to goy. Wolf ItMJ General Nublenberg are considered by you ofany Importance to the public, you have them alredy very seriously expressed in my first reply, w you are at liberty to publish ifyou please , ' I am, very respectfully, your most ob't. servant, ANDREW JACKSON. HErralr HORN, Esq. Philad. THE WASHINGTON FARMER. The Muhlenberg State Journal at Harri 4. burg is conducted with talent and uncommon industry—but not always felicitously. It hits off Gov. Wolf whole hog fashion, and effectualy, but its late fling at after was a sad failure. It questions whether Mr. Ritner is the capital farmer he is reported to be; and hacks the doubts with an anecdote that some thirty years ago he was seen ploughing one day in Cumderland "without a coulter!" As no one of Mr. Ritner's neighbours will dispute his skill in farming, we go to the fact that these cavillers show only their own ignorance. Our Farmer showed thirty years ago that he was in advance, ns he has gene rely been on all subjects,and at all times, in advance of others around him who enjoyed simlar means of information. - It is now known, (except by dandips, agrarians and such like) that for most kinds of ploughing the coulter Is a useless appendage. It is almost universally laid aside. So in regard to the canal system; the pro found sagacity he showed ten years ago,by a plan which we now know would have sav ed the state at least ten millions of dollars, was treated lightly by those who made great pretensions to science and wisdom. —On that subject he was in advance of those he acted with. Superior minds are always underrated by the great and little vulgar,becauso they are in advance of their neigh hours. Mr. Ritrier in his boyhood was employed by Mr. Jacob Myers of Cumberland county, who,at the late celebration inlearliski,adver ted to the circumstance in a toast,expressing a conviction that he would make a good Governor, for he was 'a most excellent and extraordinary boy—the best he ever had. He was one of the best teamsters in the western army, and always in advance. He was one of the best members of our legbla lure, and the house showed its improssion of the fact by advancing him to the Speak er's chair. He is one of the best farmers in this country, and has his work always in advance of his neighbours. As aeompan ion ho is one of the best and most amiable of men, ever disposed to advance the satis faction of others. Pennsylvania is about to advance him as one of her best sons; and we venture to say in advance, that he will be one of the best Governors she ever had. For the matter of a "Coulter," West moreland will furnish one for him, if there should be occasion , in ploughing up the cor ruptions which have overrun the Common wealth. *ow [Pittsburg Times. From the Carlisle Expositor. MR. JACOB MYERS' TOAST. It may not be generally known that Jo- SEPliTrlcn, the Washington county Far miir, was for several years, in the employ of Mr. Jacob Myers, of Westpennsborough, in this county. Such was his conduct, while thus employed, that he gained the confidence and good will of his employer. At the late anniversary of American Independence, at Sponslers, Mr. Myers was present, and act ed as one of the Vice• Presidents, on which occasion he gave the following toast : By JACOB MYERS, let Vice• President— . RITNER—I know him to be a good farmer, and am confident he will make a good Governor." Here is the testimony of a respectable old gentlOnian; under - Whose direction Jo seph Ritner was taught to till the soil.— Mr. Myers dise,overed the germ of talents which has since been developed in Mr. Rit ner. and he felt a pride in recalling the friend ly relationship which had formerly existed between them. Such testimony oversets a thousand such inuendoes, as the one contain. ed in the last Republican, against the char acter of Mr. Ritner, as a practical farmer. Tho Anti-Masons of Vermont lately held a state convention, and put in nomination Gov. PALMER for re-election. The whips of that state, at least some of them, seem disposed to dispense with a nomination of their own, and to support the Anti- Masonic ticket. The election takes place in Sept. The Whigs of Moyomensing, Phila. re cently held a large and enthusiastic meeting in favor of Mr. Ri'ner. Several spirted meet ings have been held elsewhere. The people are every-where rallying for the coming conflict, with a spirit worthy of their noble cause. From the Easton Whig. We learn from authentic sources that the changes in the West of Pennsylvania, in fa vor of Joseph Ritner are such at even to as tonish his most sanguine friends. Where Governor Wolf in 1832, received a large vote, he is now hardly spoken of. The same weighty causes that changed the minds of the electors of our county, have had the same effect all over the Commonwealth. The people are opposed to excessive taxation. BouvAn AND MASONRY---That excel lent journal, the Lancaster Herald, with much apparent reason, refers the mysteri ous death of Bolivar to Masonry. Previous to his death he issued a proclamation relat ing to the death of Morgan, and speaking in unfriendly terms of the Masonic fraterni ty. Pt eaently afterwards he died—end his name, which until then, had been in ev ery man's mouth oftener than that of Wash ington, sunk suddenly into the silence of the grave. It must startle editors so fixedly mute about it, to behold it again in a news paper. When the great catalogue of Ma sonic crimes shall be unrolled at the last day, we may learn the fate of Bolivar. We, shall add another item. Shortly be fore the death of Alexander emperor of Rus sia, it will be recollected, he issued" ukase against Masonry. It is yet remembered that some of the Masons of . Pittsburg noted the matter at the time, with the significant remark, that Alexander would not long be a living man. That was Masonic prophe cy.— Pitts. 7 imes. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

GENERAL HARRISON—The Backe Coun ty Intelligencer remarks—" From the com plexion of the Toasts, on the 4th of July, it appears that this distinguished individual, bas many and decided friends. His name has been honored in almost every county in the State, as arandidate for the Presidency. In Ohio, Indiana, and other States, he has not been forgotten; and there is a cordiality in these compliments, without reference to party distinctions, which auger well for his future prospects and claims for the highest office in the gift of the people." The late breach of promise case, in New York, was a God-send to the Transcript of that city—the publishers sold 50,000 extra copies of their paper, containing the Report of the Trial, and 20,000 copies of the Report, printed in a pamphlet 6:mm—the profits of which they say they "pocketed on their own hook." Iron is now conveyed in pigs, from Virginia to Ulster, in the State of New York, where, with Virginia coal, it is manufactured into bars, returned, and a profit realized of thirty-two dollars upon every ton! DEATH OF WILLIAM COIIIIRIT.—The most voluminous, and in the ratio ofquantt• ty, the ablest writer of the passing age, has recently paid the debt of nature. WILLIAM Connzrr, Editor of the Register, and for merly' of Porcupine's Gazette, died on his farm in Surrey, (England,) on the 18th June, the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.— There needed but the fulcrum of principle and consistency to have given the efforts of Cobbett,a moral power scarcely resistabte, and certainly superior to that of any of hie fellow subjects, of whatever station. THE FAR, WEST.—We learn from a para graph in the St. Louis Republican of the 18th ult. that Mr. Campbell, of that city, returned to St. Louts, on the previous Wed- nesday, from a trading excursion to the Roe. ky Mountains. Ho had been absent upwards of three months, and in that period made a journey out and home, of about two thousand miles. Mr. Campbell passed through the territories of numerous tribes of Indians, but was not molested by any of them. He represents that the traders and trap pers of that country have been generally suc• cessful, during the past winter. The only outrage of which he had heard.was a rumor which he heard among the Snake Indians, that a party of Indians of an adjoining tribe had murdered two of the trappers belonging to the New England expedition under Capt. Wveth. The U. S. Dragoons, under Cot. Dodge, were at the Grand Pawnee village, and were in excellent health. They had formed an advantageous treaty with the Pawnees, and were shortly to proceed to the Aurickaree village—a nation particularly hostile to our people—for the purpose of holding a council with them. Mr. Campbell had made a visit to this last named tribe, who received him hospitably and informed him of the expected visit of the Dragoons, to whom they were preparing to give a friendly reception. He represents the tribe to number about 1000 warriors, with upwards of 400 lodges,which were situ. ated about four days travel from Col. Dodge's encampment, at the Pawnee village. Partritos.—This is a plant of Egypt, a•id among the most remarkable of those noticed by the an. merits. It most abounded on the Nile. Pliny and other naturalists at early times, speak of it by the above name; in Syria, it was called babin— vrhence the modern term, paper. It was from the delicate and white path which fills the stems of this plant, that the ancients prepared their paper. Wanr.omr.—A countryman giving Ins evidence in court, was asked by the counsel if he was'born in Wedlock? No, sir, he replied; I was born in Devonshire.. According to Mr. O'Connell, there are 900,000 Protestants and 6,400,00 Q Cath- olics, in Ireland. From tho Baltimore Patriot, of August 1 THE RECENT OUTRAGE. An occurrence of a deeply exciting char acter took place in this city about ten days since, which would have been promptly I noticed by us at the time, had it not been !for the request of oneof the parties interest ed, Mr. BAYLIES, of Washington City, that we would refrain from making the affair public for the present, as an authenticated statement would soon be forthcoming from himself. But as the details of the circum stance have already been made public, thro' the papers of Boston, New-York and Phila delphia, as well as other statements in rela tion to the past history of Capt. Bossintin; and as we learn that Capt. B. is coming out with a defence of his conduct, we deem it unnecessary to longerdecline to comply with the earnest solicitations of numerous highly respectable citizens to lay the subject in its principal details before our readers. We have made inquiries to obtain the true facts in the case, and learn them to be sub stantially as follows, although we do not vouch for their correctness in every particu lar: A Mr. Baylies, of Washington, the guardian of a young girl about sixteen years of age and worth as many thousands, it is said, as there have been years passed over her head, whom he for some time past has been boarding in this city for the purpose of completing her education, having received some information that all was not right in respect to his ward, came to this city, on the day the occurrence alluded to above, took place, and called to see her at the house of her school mistress, a widow, with whom she boarded. He was informed that she was not then in, but should be sent for, and a person was accordingly dispatched for that purpose. Mr. B. however, did not remain for her to come, but followed the messenger to a house in South Frederick, near Second street, occupied by Captain Bossiere. He rung the bell, and'was met at the door by a daughter of the widow in question, about the age of his ward. He asked for Bossiere —she told him that he was sick and could not be seen. He said he would see him; the girl resolutely said he could not. Bay lies however forced his way into the house. He found it almost deserted, as Bossiere's family were in the country, at Franklin.— On going up stairs he met Bossiere who immediately ordered him out of the house. A regular set•to commenced. The noise brought to the "scene of action" a magis!rate whose office is on the opposite side of the street, a number of spectators, and, among the rest, Mr. Baylies' ward, who it appears was in the house, and the other girl referred to. In the course of the fight, Bossiere is bald to have come off"second best," and was most shockingly bruised and beaten. It is stated that he had a number of fainting fits in consequence. As soon as the occurrence became known, a great excitement prevail. ed, and crowds of people rushed to the vicin ity of Bossiere's house, to execute summary punishment, or Lynch's Law, upon him. We learn, however, that ho took the advice of legal counsel and delivered hitniself into the hands of the law for protection• One report states, which we believe isticorrect, that he staid in our city jail that night,nnd another, that he was placed in a carriage and carried to Franklin, where, we learn, he still remains. The excitement against him was very great, and it appeared to be general among all classes of our citizens. We know not when we have seen public indignation raised so suddenly to so high a pitch. It is stated that all the parties deny that an improper intercourse has ever taken place between Capt. B. and the person in question, and that he is taking measures to prove that he was greatly indisposed on the day alluded to, and, his fitmily being absent in the coun try, and he being acquainted with the widow and her family, she sent her daughter and the ward of Mr. Baylies, over to his house to nurse and take care of him, heing unable, from sickness, to attend herself. From the Mobile Register. THE FATE OF MRS. ALSTON. I have for some dine observed an article going the rounds of the newspapers, in relation to the mysterious death of Mrs. Aistors, the daughter of Co!. Aaron Burr,taken from the Alabama Journal. This article, although true in many particulars, nevertheless contains several errors. I suppose it grew out of a casual conversation I held in Mr. Smith's Book Store, in Mobile, some six months since, and as Mr. Smith was very busy at the mo ment, several gentlemen being in the store, he probably misunderstood me in my statement,- Ist as to time, and 2ndly as to the receiving the confession of the pirate, either personally or as a physician. The article was also wrong in many points, as the statement itself will show. Ido not. charge any ono with wilful exaggeration or mistatement, for nothing is more liable to occur, than for a story to undergo trivial modifications, by frequent repetitions from one individual to another. It is well known under what circumstances Mrs. Alston left South Carolina. Whether she was the only daughter, of Col. Burr, I know not; -but one thing was evident, never did a father love a daughter or a daughter a parent, with more fer vor and devotion than they did. She quit Caroli na and embarked at Charleston, with all her ef fects consisting principally of plate, to join him in Now York. She sailed, and was heard of no more for years. It is said, her loss afflicted her father more se verely than all this political troubles and adver sities. For as before remarked, he loved his daughter. In his last letter to Qen. Wilkinson, written at the most important crisis of his'life, says he, "I shall be on in such a time," and my daughter will soon follow." The first indication of the nature of Mrs. Ai. ston's death, *Met had for a long three excited, the painful and anxious feelings of her friondeand the bommunity, it is said, was communicated in the confessions of a pirate in the neighborhood of Norfolk, Va. many years since, who stated, that the vessel in which she was embarked, was seized off the coast of North Carolina, and that Mrs. Al ston's slate, being considered voluble, caused the murder of all, on board, and the robbery of the vessel. I do not know what degree of credit the report obtained. Some years at ter this,another man 'died in South Alabama; I think it was said to be in Marengo county, who also alluded to the death of Mrs. Alston, in the same manner: and under tho same circumstances,—stating !bathe had been a pirate, •See Wilkinson's Memoirs, 2d vol. and concerned in the transactions:and that after the vessel was robbed she was scuttled. More recently another has died not very far from Mobile, bearing still stronger testimony in favor of the same horrible transaction. What do all these statements lead to, if they do not all point to the same tragical event? It is possible that these men were each attached to the Ramo piratical crib, and were concerned in the same deed—having subsequently separated and died at different places—suffering torments under the lashings of guilty conaciencos, and fears, and pains incident to natural deaths, more awful than deaths inflicted by the halter! Col. Burr may doubt, & treat ridicule these with statements, with regard to the lamented fate of his amiable and highly accomplished daughter; and his friends and thecommunity nodoubt would cheerfully join him in wishing the death of one so much admired and distinguished, could have boon provonted,—or, if death was inevitable, that it could have happened by milder means. But, I presume, with the evidence before the community, as to the nature of her fate however defective it may *yet in the absence of all other information on that point, must strongly favor the opinion, that she came to her death by the hands of PIRATES. Bo this as it may: the painful 'event hde passed, and no notice taken of it now,can do any good. And I, therefore, consider any newspaper notorio. ty about it at the present day, as unecessary. It was fot this reason, when requested by a friend, to give him the facts in my possession for publi cation, I declined doing so, alleging that their ap poaranco could answer no motel purpose. But the. subject fins lately been presented in such a form in the Alabama Journal, as to cause me to feel myself called upon to publish this communl• cation, which is done with much reluctance as my professional engagements affords me little time to devote to such matters. It is not my wish or aim, however, to impugn the motives of the Editor of that Journal, who, no doubt, acted from correct feelings, concluding every circumstance tending to cast light on that strange affair, would be interesting to his readers and to the public. The pirate who died, and the facts of whose case came into my possession, was by the name of Foster. Ho was without family, and kept a grog shop. He was taciturn and silent in his disposition. Ho for some lime before his death grow gradually more intemperate. He often spoke of being a sailor, of having been much at sea, or as the phrase goes, of having "seen much service." He fell sick, and was confined for some time. His brain appeared Moored, and his mind at times haunted by strange impressions. He, on his death bed confessed to a very worthy and respectable gentleman who stood by him, that he had been a pirate, and belonged to a piratical crow, who took the vessel in which Mrs. Alston had embarked. That after the crow and passen gers of the captured vessel were all despatched, she alone remained to be disposed of. Each man expressed an unwillingness to become her execu tioner. They finally drew lots, to see whose duty it should be to destroy her, that it unfortunately fell upon him. Upon learning her fato,sho bogged strongly and pathetically for het life; she entreat. ed thorn to spare her. She told them she was Mrs. Alston, the daughter of Aaron Burr, whohad been Vice President of the U. States, and that he was awaiting tier in Now York, where she was going on to join him, and to console him in his adversity—that he made her walk on the plank, —which, finding she could not avert, she finally did with great firmness and composure!!! He was an illiterate man, and had probably never read any thing or. the subject. For some days previous to his death, he imagin ed he saw her in his room, and would convulsive. ly point to different parts of the chamber, exclaim. ing with much earnestness—"There,tliere she is!" and would ask the by.standers if they did not see her. This delusion tormented him as long as ho could make himself understood; when he died a most miserable death! In corroboration of this statement the testimo. ny of several gentlemen could be mentioned, ' whose standing and character are of the first or der in the community, and whose voracity, whore known, never lino nor never will be questioned, and who know the above statement to be substan. tially true; but I have no authority for calling thorn by name. If Col. Burr should yet doubt on the subject, evidence could be adduced, to estab lish it In any court ofjustice, which, being a law. yer, he would be obliged to admit. I do not consider it necessary to be more min. uto on the subject, unless I should be formally called on by some one, who has authority or claims for more particular information. Because, as before observed nothing of the kind can do any good,—further development and discussion can only tend to revive melancholy feelings and un pleasant regrets, which time had measurably bu. reed in oblivion. ALEXANDER JONES, M. Mobile, Ala., July 19th, 1835. LATER FROM EUROPE. By the arrival on Thursday of the pack et ship roscoo, Capt. Delano, we have Liv erpool dates to the 24th and London to the 23d of June —five or six days later than the preceding. The intelligence is not of moment. Par. Lament has been engaged in the further discussion of the Spanish intervention but without any decisive result.. The principle point involved was the conduct of the Duke of Wellington towards the contending par ties in Spain, during the Tory ascendancy; but Lord Melbourne demolished all cavils on this point by declaring that the Tories had acted throughout their reign in perfect ac cordance with the terms of the Quadruple Alliance. William Cobbett, M. P. notorious on both sides the Atlantic, as a political writer o great ability, died at his country residence on the 17th, aged seventy-two years. It is stated that the late, change in the Portuguese Ministry originated in the in trigues of the nobility for the recovery o their ancient power, and will call forth very marked dissatisfaction on the part of the people. It is asserted that the contemplated sale of National property for - the paymitnt of the National debt will now be so managed as to yield nothing to the Treasury. From Spain, the accounts are still con tradictory, though generally favorable to the Carlists. It seenis to be no longer doubt ed that they are besieging Bilboa, and that serious apprehiiiisions are entertained of its capture. The Constitutional chief El Pas tor embarked at St. Sebastian on the 15th whh'2,ooo men for its relief, and Gen. Val dez is said to be also moving to its rescue. On the other hand, it appears likewise cer tain that Zumalacarregui was. seriously if not desperately wounded before Bilbon on the 16th, and has been carried to Durango, leaving the command of thearmv with Eraso. It is confidently stated in the French jour nals that a great victory has been gained over the Carlists near Vittoria—but we con elude that the report has grown out of a brilliant sortie made from the hit named city by Yriarte at the head of 500 cavalry, defeating a (artist detachment and captur ing seven pieces of Caution.—Nero Yorker.

Russel, Esq. who alter retiring for a short time, presented the fol lowing preamble and resolutions:— Whereas, a portion of the great democm tic family of Pennsylvania, actuated by mo tives entirely' averse to the best interest of this highly prosperous State, have declared themselves opposed to the re-election of our present patriotic Chief Magistrate George Wolf, who was regularly nominated by the Convention of the 9th of March last, at Her. risburg: And Whereas, This discontented faction is endeavouring to-palm upon the democracy of the State, the Rev. Henry• A. Muhlenberg, mainly upon the ground that the Democratic Convention, which assembled at Harrisburg on the 4th of,March, was dissolved previous to any nomination. Therefore Resolved, That George Wolf is the rept- Italy nominated Democratic candidate for Governor, and es such, is entitled to thesup. port of the Democratic party, and that the Convention of the fourth of March, was not dissolved previous to such nomination. Be cause Ist. A large majority of the delegates to the convention, were instructed to vote for George Wolf, and he did actually receive 83 votes which was a majority of the whore delegation. 2d. The motion to re-consider the resolu tion to dissolve the Convention, was net made and seconded by members in the ma jority on the original question and wee there fore out of order and void. 3d. Admitting the motion as regithr, it was not carried,because the members voted for it who had• resigned their seats, and therm relinquished all right to action in said coo t ion. th. The convention had no right to dis. solve before the claims of the disputed del egates were settled, and-every crusty and sonatelllllllllllict had its "full and fair repre sentation, unless by a majority of a full del egation, which was not the case, there &inc. only 94_inemberstii convention, instead of 133, and the vote for dissolution being but 51 instead of 67. Resolved, That although in the cow mencement, some of us were opposed to the ' public improvements, yet since by the ener gy arid perseverance of Georgo - Wolf, they have been completed and became. (ace, the boast and glory of the State, yielding a revenue which authorize, us to look time speedy liquidation of the - state debts, we therefore now yield our hearty assent to this matchless enterprizo, and will _war all fair means to remove any impressions unfavora ble to the re-election of Gov. Wolf on this ground. • , Resolved, That we highly approve of the `. zeal and perseverance which actuated our chief magistrate, in his efforts in behalfofa system ofgeneral education. The law being such, that it is wholly a - matter of choice with every 'township or borough whether they adopt or reject it. Kr-Devoted to Politics, Foreign and Domestic Intelligence,„ Literature, Science, .agriculture, the &Mechanic Slrls, Internal Improvement, and General eitllseellany.4o Resolved, That we recommend to the citizens of Adams county, favourable to the electron of George Wolf, to meet in their respective districts and townships, on Satur• day the 22d inst. to elect Delegates to meet at Gettysburg on the 24th inst. to settle a county ticket. On motion, resolved that a committee of firelbe apointed to address the citizens of Adams county; relative to the ensuing elec tion, whereupon - Col. Wm. N. Irvine, Samuel R. Russell, Esqr. Win. J.

We extract from the Journal of Commerce the &flown:kg items of intelligence: The most imrortant news which they bring,is the D Exalt or ZIIMALACAR En ur, the Commander-in Chiefot the Carlist forces, in consequence of the wound which he re cieved on the 16th of June. It is stated that Gen. Moreno hai been appointed his successor. Whatever may be said of the cause in which Zumalacarregui was engag ed no-one can deny him the possession of great military talents, of which the strong est proof is to be found in the present condi tion of the insurgent army, in contrast with what it was when he assumed the command. He was born at Ormastegui in 1769; con sequently at his death must haie been forty six years old. The French invasion drew him from his law-books, and made him a soldier under Miama. In 1821, his regi ment being a Pampeluna, he suffered some vexations for his want of attachment to the Constitution and Liberty party, then pre dominant. He,—in consequence,—desert ed toQuesada, who command the Army of - the Faith. He was rewarded, in 1823, with the command of a regiment. After the events of La Granja, Zumalacarregui was arrested, and tried for Carlism, but acquitted. It was proved, that however attached to the cause and future rights of Don Carlos, he had refused to join in any scheme for exciting troubles or resistance as long as Ferdinand lived. He promised at the same time, that in case of Ferdinand's death, he would be one of the first to proclaim and stand by . Carlos V.

We have only room this week for a few of such notices, but shall take occasion hereafter to copy others:— L STEVENS' Sreacu.--We call the atten tion of our readers to the very excellent speech of Mr. Stevens,deliyered at Pittsburg at the celebration of the 4th of July inst. He is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent and talented men of the state. His bold and uncompromiqiug course against the Handmaid, has done much to hasten and make sure her entire overthrow.[Erie Gaz. From the Juniata Journal We give our readers this week Mr. STE VENS' speech—it will not require the feeble elogium that we could pass on it to ensure its attentive persual. The spirit of noble independence that glows through every part of tt sustains him in his high reputation, as the eloquent supporter of the laws and the detertnined opponent of illegal and unjust power. Hie denunciation of the political Charlatanism that is now practising in our state, which calculates so largely on the confiding ignorance of Penns) lvania free men, is withering—and if the "Cimmerian tribe" do not quail under it, then we shall really believe they possess much of that ster ner stuff, that W hachum•like, "Can nerve men's dirty brains To advance. their Inqater's fame and iaine." In our paper of to.day will be found the speech of Mr. Steveas, deliverd at Pittsburg, on the 4th ult. It is not necessary for us, to call the attention of our renders to it-, the fact that it was deliverd by Thaddeus Stevens is sufficient recommendation to command for it the attentive, and willing perusal of all. The speech is worthy of its author. [Lr oming Free Press. Messrs. TODD and STEVENS' remarks, at the celebration at Pittsburg, will be found in to.day's paper. Mr. Stevens is frequent ly eloquent. His beautiful eulogium of the Senate and his masterly picture of the en croachments upon the co-ordinate branches of the government by the federal Executive are truly so.--Pa. Intel. Mn.

It will be seen, that the States. man is considered a twin-brother to the "Traitors' sheet" in this place. It may be - 4,een by the Statesman, 91' this morning, that its editor hits gone ovur, body and soul (if he has any) to the support of H. A. Mulderiburg.—He concludes a lengthy article on the subject thus— "We have deliberately, resolved, on our course; and we shall in the hotest revilings, escape at least, the charge of being influen. ced by a mercenary or *o /Nee seeking motive in thus declaring in favour of Mr. HENRY A. MITHLENBERG. We shall place his name at the head of the county Ticket which we have adopted, and we shall support it with equal zeal, and with a firm belief, that his success will lead to the best results for the cause of our party and the prosperity and welfare of the State." - We are glad to find the above avowal— it must be pleasing to all the advocates of Whig principles to know that the party is rid of one who has shown himself so totally unworthy of its confidence. He is now avowedly where his actions have for a long time proved his secret sympathies to be—in "the sooty ranks of that Cimmerian tribe whose chieftain's black banner bears' the dark inscription— Muhlenberg and no free Schools.' " He is now in his true colors--and will no longer get shelter, or be able to act the spy, in the camp of freemen. We say to him—go thou traitor to thy profession and " Think on th' insulting scorn; the conscious pangs, The future miseries that await th' apostate." Oct-From the following it would seem, that the Parson's parasites at home are not so confident of his success, as his servile tools in this place would lead the people to believe. Another thing speaks strong ly against him—his holding on to his seat in Congress, although a candidate for another office! See how the Wolfies put it at the Parson's "pretty boys," through the Reading "Democratic Press:"— "Toe the easark Boys."" In order to silence all boasting and brag ging among t h e Muhlenbergers, we are au thorized to try their coinage with the fol lowing bets, viz: $lOO that Muhlenberg will be beat 5,000 8100 that he will be beat 10,000 $lOO that he will be beat 15,000 $lOO that he will be beat 20,000 $lOO that he will be the lowest of the three candidates. $lOO that we will win 3 bets out of the s,and 8100 that we will win all the above bets. To dose the above bets, the whole amount tnust be covered between this and the first of September next; under a forfeiture of one hundred dollars. The three candidates to continue in the field until the election. In the event of Mr. Muhlenberg being withdrawn, (which in all probability will be the case,) their money is all to he forfeited. Mi. We cut the subjoined article from one of our exchange papers;;;and, although it had escaped our notice, in that Journal, we find it credited to the "Carlisle Expositor." We have also been frequent ly asked, by 'numbers of our friends in this and other counties. whether Mr. STEVENS would consent to a nomination this fall for Assembly: In answer to which we can only say, although it would certainly be a con siderable pecuniary sacrifice to himself, yet upon the principles which he has ever actetlovembink. by bar tion-at Pittsburg. We learn from the pa pers, that more than a thousand persons were in attendance and joined in the celebration. It was moreover a temperance celebration —in which both wine and spiritous liquors were totally excluded. This exclusion and the plan of the celebration favored the at tendance of the ladies also—who constituted, as we learn, a large and welcome portion of the audience during the public speaking. Several distinguished citizens were present as guests on the occasion, and served by their remarks to give interest to the proceed ings. But the address of Mr. STEVENS is pronotinceti to have been, is matter and man ner, eminently powerful and impressiite. The editor of the Pittsburg Gazette—the leading opposition paper of western Pennsyl vania—declares it to have been the noblest effort of oratory to which he had ever 112.ten ed. The inimitable powers and searching eye of the speaker, as well as much of the spirit and tone of the address, are lost upon the reader; but portions of the address, as reported, are given in another part of our paper; and we are in the judgmlint of our readers, whether the forms of expression are not those ofa master mind and the sentiments such as become a Whig and a Patriot. • From the Philadelphia Commereift Herald We present our readers with the follow ing extracts from the eloquent speech of Mr. Stevens at the 4th July dinner at Pittsburg. To say "it is worthy of Clay, Webster,Cal houn,Preston,or any other of our American Orators," is • the highest praise we can be. stow upon it, and not more than it merits. Oz: - The following toast was drunk at a Harvest Home Celebration at Mount Rock, • Cumberland 'county, on the Ist inst:— By Wm. Al'Ktehan—TruinnEus STE VENS, of Adams county—a firm,decided and unwavering Anti-Mason. He deserves the thanks and gratitude of the Democratic An ti Masons of this State, for the bold and in dependent stand he took against the Mason ic Institution in the Legislature of Pennsyl vania. At Northumberland, we learn from the M iltonian, The folowing toast was handed in as the sentiments of the company, on the 4th ult. and received with 13 rounds of thundering applause: THADDEUS STEVENS, of Adams county —The fearless and able advocate of U niversal Education: For his manly defence of the school bill last wgnter in the halls of the Legislature, the people of Pennsylvania owe him a debt of gratitude that the highest office in their gift would but poorly repay. THE PITTSBURG STATESMAN. THADDEUS STEVENS, ESQ [Baltimore Patriot. According to previous invitation, the fol lowers of the Church and State party as em bled themselves together at the Court-house on Saturday last, for the purpose of public worship. It had been rumored that the Rev. H. A. MUTILEIVIIERO was to be the offi ciating Clergyman, and nearly all his follow ers in this county—to wit: about sixty, as sembled to listen to the Reverend gentle man's discourse. It was also said that sew , no right to decline a nomination, if the people desire his services. Our own Individual opinion and wish is, that he ought to consent. His services in the Le gislature next winter will be much needed, as there is a fair prospect that the Ratner party will have the ascendancy. Therefore, whatever may be-the wish of his friends, we have not the least doubt but that he will forego private considerations for the PUBLIC GOOD. These remarks, we wish it distinctly understood, are made without consultation with Mr. Stevens—for at the time of writing them, he is out of the county, and lias been for several days. There is a rumor here which came by the way of Harrisburg, to the effect that Mr. Stevens will decline being a candidate for the Legislature at the ensuing election. We seriously hope that that is but rumour, and that Mr. S. will not hesitate to allow his name to the Democratic Anti-Masonic Convention, when the ticket shall be firmed. This is an important crisis, and such men as Mr. Stevens cannot be spared ,from the councils ofGovernment.. His great talents, influence, popularity, and industry in expos ing the corruptions of place and power, are almost indispensable—and the opponents of corruption, extravagance, and Masonic rule in Adams County, we are sure wil,l not allow this champion of popular rights, to rest up on his oar at this time. The" Masonic fol lowers, especially the fawning Jacks, are only kept at bay in the Legislative Hall, from fear of his biting sarcasm, and eloquent exposition of truth. Let these men keep the reigns they now !lime, with no such men as Stevens to frown and abash them back in their attacks upon the public purse, and an other twenty five millions, will be very like ly to visit that receptNcle, the Canal Nobili ty so well "wot" of. We speak with considerable warmth up on this subject, because we feel an interest in common with the whole Anti-Masonic party of the State. Such men as Mr. Ste vens, when their party is jtist coming into power, with an Augean Stable to be cleans ed, have no just right to decline a nomina tion, or persuade their friends to leave them off the ticket. Tho' it may be a pecuniary disadvantage, a loss of business, yet the claims of the public are not to be disregard ed by the patriot.--Carlisle Expositor. LANCASTER COUNTY. ()G-The following extract of a letter from a gentle man of Lancaster city to the Editor of the Star, gives a cheering account of the prospects of the "Washing ton Farmer" in Lancaster county. LANCASTER, August 3. Our annual county meeting was held on SatUrday last. It was very large and res pectable—the Court-house was filled to over flowing. Every thing went offfinely. Our friends are all in good spirits—active and vigilont. You need have no fears tor old Anti-Masonic Lancaster. She will do her duty nobly in the coming contest. Ritner', majority will not be less than three thousand over Wolf, and I shall not be surprised if it exceeds that number. His majority over the Parson will not be less than six thou. sand. THE FRANKLIN REPOSITORY. ' ' •NTT:4ceignifird Editor of the "Franklin Iteposi ' tory" deems very Much amazed at the popularity of Mr. STEVENS' speeches! We do not wonder at it.— Ho is the receptacle of all the pride and folly and re venge of expiring Masonry. He is mortified at the disclosures which have been made, of the degradation and wickedness to which he has submitted in the Lodge! Instead of blushing and repenting, he raves like a maniac because the public have learned, that when he was made a Mason, ho was stripped naked,' clad in flannel breeches, "neither bare-foot nor shod," hood-winked, with a cable-tew around his neck; and was lead like a calf or an idiot or a dupe, to insult his Creator with an unhallowed Oath—that he has sworn to assist a "Brother Mason, right or wrong!" and to "promote his political preerment in preference to oth ers!" Nor do we suppose that his malignity will ever cease to show itself against the Champion of Anti Ma sonry, until the citizens of Franklin shall arouse from their slumbers and discountenance his gall and folly, by withdrawing from him their aid and countenance and bestowing it on an unshackled and free press.— We trust the day is not far distant when such an one will be found in Chambersburg, which will DARE to speak out the truth of Oath bound secret societies. . THE NEW YORKER. (0-We stated a few weeks since, that after pub lishing the prospectus of the above paper, the pub lishers had failed sending it to us.

THE MITHLIE MEETING — A FAILURE: (0-The Parson's flock assembled in the Court house ou Saturday last, pursuant to previous notice. Immense exertions were made to raise a respectable meeting. Handbills had been sent all over the couuty. The Muhlies were urged to turn out, so as to beat the Wolf meeting of the previous week. The Junto rode the county for two weeks, as also such of the ex-of ficeholders as have been relieved from their official labors. 'When lo ! about 60, some say-70, old hack nied politicans appeared!—Not one sound,steady Far mer was there! They are all for the Farmer of Wash ington county. It was a miserable failure—even more so than the Wolf meeting, which was as slim as a weasel! Give it'up, gentlemen—lt wont do. Anti- Masonry is the only inspiring watch-word for un shackled freemen.

It was then resolved, that one of the Elders of the flock, who had once aspired to the Governor's Chair, and got two votes in Convention for it, should officiate instead of the delinquent Parson. He rend to the Con gregation a manuscript sermon from the fol lowing texte:—Mat. 26c. 14, and 15v. and Mat. 27c. sv. "Then one of the turelve,called Judas Iscariot,went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver." "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the tem ple, and dcparted,and went and hanged himself." The sermon set forth the awful sin of re lapsing from the Priesthood, and betraying the cause of souls for wordly ambition, or filthy lucre.
