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.

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.

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

farm in Surrey, (England,) on the 18th June,

There needed but the fulcrum of principle

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..

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.

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

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

Whereupon, the chair appointed the fol
lowing gentlemen, viz :--Dr. A. Thomp

Wm. Holtzworth, Jacob Long, Samuel
Strager and S. R. 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.

The ship Troy, Capt. Allen, at New

Liserpool to the 2nd, both inclusive. 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.

01-The Democratic Anti-Masons of Adams county
will perceive that Township Elections have been call
ed by the Standing Committee to settle a TICKET to
be supported by the unshackled freemen of this coun
ty. We trust it will be well attended, so that a tick
et may be settled which will receive the cordial sup
port of all true patriots. Let us be alive to our inter
est at the ensuing election, and the State will be re
deemed from the thraldom of Masonic folly and cor
m:Woo; and from the wasteful extravagance of the
corrupt party which has robbed and almost ruined the
State for the last twelve years.
What .a glorious triumph awaits the efforts of our
rasEateri at the next election! Secret Societies will
be „annihilated, and Masonic misrule overthrown—
Equal Rights will prevail, and our people relieved
from their present burthensomo Taxes!
RITNEWS MAJORITY.
(srp-it is now agreed on all hands that Ranee& ma

much ho will beat both the Masonic candidates? Let
every man do his duty, and his majority over both
will be more than 20,000. The PEOPLE have will

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.

ICPAs the Van Buren "Press" makes a display at
the apostacy from correct principles of the "Pittsburg
Statesman," we have cut the following from the Pitts
burg Gazette, the organ of true Whig principles of
that city and county. 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.

Harvest Home Celebration at Mount Rock,

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.

man of Lancaster city to the Editor of the Star, gives
a cheering account of the prospects of the "Washing

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. .

(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. We have since
bren informed by one of the publishers, that our pa
per containing the advertisement was never received,
or we should not have been slighted. We are therefore
inddced to believe that we were not intentionally
slighted, and acquit the publishers of all blame. We
received a No. of that paper last week; and, from its
appearance and contents, are justified in recommend
ing it to the support of the public, as one of the cheap
est and best newspapers extant. It is published at
$2 per annum in advance, and can be seen at this of

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.
Fur the Star & Thinner.
[Er TICE PEULTLISEES!
eral BABIES/were' to he christened, and
several Youths confirmed.
The devoutiilliWgation waited with
great anxiety u il 2 o'clock r. M. for the
arrival of his Holiness; when word was
brought that ho could not attend, as he had
been detained on the road at the Kutztown
Fair! 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.
In the progress of the service, six' Infants,
newly born into the congregation, were pre
sented for christening* received the baptis
mal namesof JOHN; DAVID, JAMES, GEORGE,
ANTHONY 8., and hums, sir-named PAT
TERSON! One other small one was bro't,
but was too troublesome and was sent off—
the Nurse called him BARNEY! The oth
ers were all large Babies, but seemed defec
tive in sight! Moses and one or two others
were confirmed. The Elder desired such
as had moist throats to sing; and forthwith
Andrew, and Zephaniah, and James the
Long, struck up in admirable harmony!—
John, the Letter-writer, then carried about
the BAG, lifted a collection, and the Congre
gation went their way! A HEARER.
O MOB IN BALTIMORE!
We learn that there was a great mob in Baltimore
on Saturday night last, buildings destroyed and lives
lost! What is the country coming to?
