Attempt to AssassinateUe King of the
French.—The Siege of Btlboa Raised.
By the packet ship Sheffield, at g. York,
from Liverpool, we have our London papers
to the eighth of July, and Paris dates to the
seventh. A conspiracy to assassinate Lou.
is Phillippe had been discovered. The
Paris correspondent of the London Times
gives this account of the affai r:—
"On this occasion the backwardness of
the Police, in giving publicity, to the plot,
suggested the likelihood of its reality, and
on further inquiry I have seen reason to at
tach seine credit to the facts whiCh were
brought under my notice, which were, that
five persons had been arrested last night, and
two more this morning, charged with the
design of way-laying the King on his return
to the Tuileries from Ncuilly, while passing
along the quay which separates the royal
gardens from the river, and extends from
the Pont Louis XVI., in front of the Cham
ber of Deputies, to the Pont Royal, which
connects the Place du Carousel with the
Fuubourg St. Germain. The place would,
doubtless, be well chosen for the commis
sion of such a crime if the assassins had no
idea of providing tar their own safay, there
being nothing along the whole interval be
tween the bridges but the river on the one
side, and a dead wall on the other, but as
there is a strong military post at either end,
it is evident that escape would be next to im
possible. The turn which the trial of the
April insurgents has taken at the'Luxem.
Bourg would not be unlikely, a prieri, to pro
voke some desperate characters to make the
attempt; but then,from the disclosures on the
trial,it does not appear that there would bo
many who would be ready to engage on such
a forlorn hope as this, in which the sacrifice
of their*own lives would be required with
out any temptation or pretence for personal
vengeance to secure the application of an ab
stract principle oFgovernmeut."
The affairs of Spain seem adverse to the
Carlist cause. The death of Zumalaearre.
guy is no doubt an irreparable blow to the
Pretender. The siege of Bilboa had been
raised, and the besieging force had retreated
in great confusion to the mountain fastness
es, where Don Carlos had his head qaarters.
To a handful of British auxiliaries,who wore
present and aided in the defence of the town,
Is ascribed with the usual boastfulness of
English prints about British prowess, dr.c.
the duccess of the defence.
The Queen of Spain is about receiving
efficient aid from France. The Moniteur
announces, that by virtue of a convention
signed between the Dukes de Broglie and
Frias, on the 28th ult., the foreign legion is
transferred to the service of the Queen of
Spain. No stipulation has been made about
strengthening the foreign levet} by any
French recruits. Volunteerahowever would
be received, and the Prefect of the Seine ad
vertises for recruitat/and announces that the
public office of the Military Intendant has
been opened for the purpose of receiving all
who offer themselves, without the necessity
of applying elsewhere for leave. There are
still some difficulties, however, of a pecunia
ry nature, which probably will not be sur- '
mounted until the arrival of M. Mendizabel,
who had, however, intimated to his Ambas
sador that he could not reach Paris, consis
tently with his other engagements, for eight
days to come.
Two steamboats, with detachments a
'mounting to 800 men; had sailed from Eng
land—to form part of Colonel, now General
Evan's command.
A eonspimcy to overturn the throne of
the Emperor Nicholas was discovered in St.
Petersburg, in the course of the month of
May; and more than sixty persons have been
arrested on a char L i of being engaged in it.
Such is the secrecy with which the proceed
ings of the Russian Government are con
ducted,that the news of this affair only reach
ed Paris recently.
Charles the Tenth, Ex-King of France,
was dangerously ill at the last accounts.
Letters from Toulon of the 30th ult. an
nounce that on that day the French naval
division, consisting of ten vessels, amongst
which are three ships of the line, sailed from
that port for the coast of Spam.
Mehemet Ali has withdrawn his opposi
tion to the expedition of Colonel. Chesney
on the Euphrates, which arose solely from
his not having received instructions from
the Porte. The Malta Gazette contains an
account of the disembarkiition of the expe
dition at the mouth. of the Orontes.
THE PLAGUE IN EGYPT.
CAIRO, May 5.-1 would willingly have
delayed writing till I could give you better
news, did I not apprehend, as the disorder
is unhappily so obstinate, my too long si
lence might surprise you. The plague has
continued ,to increase from the date of my
last letter to this day, so that now above 2,-
000 persons daily fall victims to it in the city,
and as great a number in proportion in al
most all the provinces of the Delta and Cen
tral Egypt. About 50,000 persons have
probably already fallen in Cairo alone,which
gives the city a frightful appearance.
PLAGUE IN SMYRNA. —The mail from
Constantinople of the 11th of June bringQ
the unpleasant news of the plague having
appeared at Smyrna. It is said to have been
introduced by an Italian merchantman from
Alexandria. All the European inhabitants
at Smyrna, who had the means of doing so,
are said to have fled from the city.
Liverpool, July 9.—The subject of expor
tation of flour from this country to America,
in consequence of its high price in the United
States, and the low value it realizes here,
has excited some interest. It appears
by the advices that the flour and grain mar-
Wig in New York, had been in a state of
great animation. The price of flour had
liven rapidly tosoven dollars per barrel; and
111 curious circumstance is noticed, that some .

SKETCH
OF THE
LIFE, CHARACTER AND PUBLIC'„ SERVICES

The above sketch is from the pen of a citi
zen of Lancaster county, and gives a full,
fair and impartial account of the life of Mr.
RitneY from his childhood to the present
time.. It is written with great care and a
bility, and ifjudiciously circulated, will con
tribute much towards removing the preju
dices whi.:ll exist in some parts of the State
against Mr. Ritner owing to a want of cor
rect information in relation to his early life.
The sole object of the publishers being to
promote the cause of Mr. Ritner, they will
furnish them by the hundred or thousand, to
county committees and others, at such prices
as will barely defray the expenses of the
printing. CoMmunications upon the sub
ject, post paid, will be promptly attended to.

Tribute to Moral Courage.
THADDEUS STEVENS of Penn. is not only
a man of mind, but ft man of mural courage.
The antimasonic citizens of Pittsburg, Penn.
(where he pronounced a brilliant oration on
the 4th,) invited him to a public dinner,
which he was obliged to decline. The
invitation was signed by 100 citizens,
headed by Harmer Denny, one of the only
four antimasonic members of Congress, in
the Union, who have not deserted or injur
ed their party by Whig coalition. The
note says—
As the uncompromising opponents of Secret Socie
ties, and of all other wicked combinations against the
Laws of the land, and the rights of humanity, we can
not refrain from an expression of the delight with
which we hail the presence amongst us, of an early,
fearless, independent, and most efficient Champion of
political kati-hlasonry.
Mr. Stevens replies—
"lf, as you do me the honor to suppose, I was an
early and efficient A nti-Mason, I havo been so in com
pany with you, and the other Anti-Masons of Alleghe
ny and my ambition would be fully satisfied to be
tiniught, your equal in purity of intention, firmness of
purpose, and zeal in so sacred a cause. If I were per
mitted to arrogate to myself any merit for serving our
country, it would be for maintaining, through all
difficulties, uncompromising hostilitm to Secret Socie
ties."
How differently Thaddeus Stevens behaved
than did the traitorous won of Now York,
in the Baltimore Convention. Mr.. Stevens
argued with all his power till twelve o'clock
at night, in primary caucus, .against the
nomination of William Wirt. But when
he became the candidate of the Convention,
Mr. Stevens offered the resolution for his
unanimous support,and went home and stood
true to his.pledge to the last. The New
York men who opposed Mr. Stevens and
were mostelliqqpnt for Wirt in Convention,
went holueW entered into a conspiracy
with Weed and Stone to throw Wirt over
board, and support half and half Clay men,
and thus forever destroyed the national
organization of antimasonry.
After this example of treachery those
antimasons can never ask an honorable,
high minded man, fit for the office, to
accept their exclUsive nomination for the
Presidency. His answer would fall on them
like burning shame. "How did the anti
masons of Now York and Ohio treat
William Wirt?'
Apply this to a national, convention
We want a national anti masonic convention,
to take a fresh departure. But wo want to
meet the people ,there, not the men who
betrayed us in New York and Ohio. This
should be looked to, and such men should
'not be permitted, - to assume the name of anti
masons and hold a convention to pledge the
party to any course. If the true men mean to
have a convention, they ought to hold a pre
liminary meeting in N. York, in October or
November. The proposal of Vermont to
hold a convention at Philadelphia in Novem
ber, is disapproved by Pennsylvania, who
yet keeps aloof and have appointed no del
egates. We can see no evidence to satisfy
us, that our party will hold a convention at
all. If they mean to, why is there pot
some concert in time and place?
From the York Republican.
The Washington Co. Farmer.
A friend °fours being lately on a visit to
the west, called in the course of his journey
to see the people's candidate for Governor—
Joseph Ritner. He found him, not like
George Wolf traversing the state on an elec
tioneering tour, and oven extending his trip
to Saratoga springs to consult with the New
York fox, living at the height of fashionable
extravagance on money furnished by the peo
ple's treasury. He found him, not like the
Reading parson, in his study despatching
emissaries and supplying funds to go through
the state, purchasing "Gazettes" and estab
lishing new Muhly presses. No—he found
him hard at work in his cornfield, ploughing,
and dressed in labouring attire, leaving po
litical intrigue and strife to his competitors.
His sons, too, were busily breaking stone on
a public road where they had taken a con
tract, not like the red-faced, well-condition
ed contractors on the state works, spending
their time in treating canal commissioners,
superintendents and engineers, in order to
get into favour with these officers and to
draw large estimates. We observe that
since the hired presses ofthe distracted party
can no longer impose upon the people the
falsehood that Joseph Ritner is not a farmer,
which lie they wilfully and knowingly cir
culated three years ago, these soft-handed
and purse proud aristocrats are showing
their true colours by declaring that the peo
ple's candidate is not capable of performing
the duties of Governor because he is a la
bouring man; and was not, like their priest
and lawyer, bred at College. This aristoc•
ratio - doctrine will be received with the con
tempt it merits by the ti ue deinoc racy—the
farmers and working-men of the common
wealth. They know that Joseph Ritner is
a practical man—that though he commen-•
ced life poor—drove a wagon through the
wilderness
,and served. as a muunou soldier
during the later, and worked hard until
by the sweat of his brow he earned a com.
petence, and yet labours on his farm, he has
spent that time which professed politicians
—renegade priests and fifth-rate lawyers—
have employed in political intrigue, in ma
king himself a self-taught, practical states
man. They know trio that the genuine
democracy of Washington County—when
dernonracy meant something honest—elec
ted him to represent them in the legislature,
and that the popular branch of a democratic
legislature chose him to preside over their
deliberations; and having this knowledge,
the people will spurn from them every such
aristocratic calumny, and adhere to the
honest and practical farmer and statesman.
OPPOSE() TO EDUCATION.--The Masonic
presses, with their characteristic regard for
truth, are busy in circulating that JOSF,NI
RITNER isan enemy to education and oppos
ed to schooling the poor man's child. How
probable this story appears when the fact is
taken into consideraton that Mr. Ritner him
self was a poor boy—the son of a poor man,
and had to educate himself mostly, after he
arrived to the years of manhood! Also that
he has given his own children every advan
tage in his power, or that the county affords,
for education—one of whom, now no more,
proved not only the pride and ornament of
his family, but of his native county, of the
military school at West Point, of the army
in which he served, and of the Colle g e of
which he was a Professor, beloved and
esteemed by both faculty and scholars; al
though he was taken away in the morning
itif a life of promise. Mr. Ritner hi mselltoo,
the artificer of his own education, hay been
for years one of the Trustees of Washington
College—has a : school-house erected on
his own farm, for the accommodation of his
own filmily and neighborhood, and, we aro
credibly informed, has paid more towards
education, in proportion to his property,
than any man in that section of the country.
Do these facts look as if Joseph Ritner was
the enemy of education, and the ignorant
demagogue that the Masonic party repre
sent him to be ? Does it look as if he was
opposed to educating the poor man's child,
and placing him in this respect upon an
equality with the rich? Does it look as if he
was in fhvour of keeping the children of
the poor in ignorance that they may only
become the servants of the rich 7 Every
honest man will say, nol It effectually
falsifies every charge. Let the Masonic
presses therefore cease reiterating this slan
der, or produce some evidence to sustain it.

POLITICAL Gossir4'Extracts from a
otter to the Editor of the N. York Star,
rom his Washington correspondent.
"Dr. Sutherland was on hero some time
ago, and managed to get out of the old
Chief the toast in favour of Wolf, which so
seriously vexed the freinds of Muhlenberg.
The Kitchen are all in favour of Wolf,
and Kendall has notified Col. Page, Post
master of Philidelphia, and Mr. Baker, the
Collector, that before the Ides of October
they must renounce Mahlenburg, or take
the consequences. in the meanwhile, we
understand here that Mr. Van Burn is ad.
vised to see Gov. Wolf at the springs and
assure hUn that he will press Muhlenberg
to withdraw in his favour, and heal the
breach in the party. Wolf, however, is not
in a humor to allow the Dutch Fox to
whisk his tail in his face. The truth is
that the fight in Pennsylvania is to decide
whether Sutherland, Burden -Dallas, King
& Co. shall be the Regency, or Hem,
Page, Read, Barker, Co.; it is, as usual, a
struggle for the "spoils," and RITNER, be
tween the combatants, is likely to carry off
the bone.
The South getting uneasy, and I think
with cause,at the increasing power and fero-
cious disposition of tto fanatics and immedi
ate abolition men. Nothing short of a con
vention of the southern states, next winter,
will settle that vexed question. Is it not
singular, that GEN . . HARRISON at this late
day, should become a prominent candidate
for the Presidency? I know but little about
him, excepting that he is the 'only man
that all the candidates can unite upon against
Van Buren. The people are taking him
up, and the presses are compelled to follow.
It shows that military services are popular
and attractive, and unless the kitchen can
run their spit through the ribs,of his repute
tion, he will he a thrmidahle candidate in
deed. His first appointment in political life
lie obtained from Thos. Jefferson.
We understand that the Pittsburg States.
man, one of the few masonic Whig papers
in the state, has placed the name of 11. A.
Muldenherg at the head of its columns, and
now strenuously advocates the election or
that gentleman. The Adams Sentinel and
Franklin Repository should follow suit, and
then the spoils party would have nearly all
the wolves that have so long preyed on the
honest and unsuspecting, by virtue of their
sheep's clothing. It was just such fellows
as the editor of the Statesman, that recently
undertook to catechise Joseph Ritner—to
ask him wether he was opposed to Jackson,

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS!
From the York Republican Republican.
BALTIMORE RIOTS.
Our readers all remember the explosion
of the Bank of Maryland, and the publications
which have ensued in attack and defence
from Evan Poultney, the President, on one
side, and Reverdy Johnson and John Glenn,
the trustees, on the other. Public opinion
which had been against Poultney, has lately
changed, and now lays the blame on the
other side. Popular excitement rose to great
height against Messr . s. Johnson and Glenn,
and on Thursday night last, a mob assembled
in Monument Square, in front of Johnson's
house, at which some stones were thrown
which broke several panes of glass; but the
assemblage dispersed in quietness Mier being
addressed by the mayor. Oa Friday after.
noon a meeting of citi z ens was held, the
proceedings of which, recommending sub
mission to the laws, had no good ellbct; for
in the evening, the mob, augmented to seve•
ra I thousand persons in number,again
bled opposite Johnson's house—again mis
siles wore thrown and glass broken, npd
though addressed by the mayor, and Gen.
Jones, counsel for the creditors of the Bank
of Maryland, they did not disperse; the pol
ice interfered in vain, and all was confusion
until 10 o'clock when the rioters separated
and peace was restored. On Saturday
night, the spirit of disorder was yet more
strong, and we cannot do better than copy
from the "Chronicle" the occurrences of
the night, premising that the police had
provided themselves with fire-arms, coun
trary to the wish and instructions of the
IMRE
It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow
that we proceed to record occurrences which
took place. in this city on Saturday night.—
On the two proceeding nights there had
been assemblages in front of Mr. Johnson's
dwelling, Monument square, which had
resulted in no other injury to the property
than the breaking of some panes of glass.
The assemblage on Friday night was ad
dressed by the mayor, Mr. Preston, Gen.
Jones, of Washington city, the two latter
counsel for the creditors of the Bank,ofMary
laud. We did not hear either of the addres
ses, but that delivered by Gen. Jones was
printed by request and circulated and cir
culated on Saturday evening, and it was
hoped would have had a salutary influence
in allaying public excitement. But as an
attack was anticipated, a number of addition.
al police officers were appointed, some of
whom° were mounted on horseback and all
provided with batons. Early in the evening
these were stationed at the different avenues
leading to the square. Soon after dusk the
crowd began to collect in Baltimore opposite
to Calvert street, great numbers of whom
wore attracted by curiosity. Some of the
mounted men were here stationed to keep
the street clear. Here we understand the
disturbance first commenced by the throw
ing of stones, quantities of which wore left
on the spot from late paving and the gather
ed materials for a new building. This
mode of warfarecontinued until about ten o'-
clock, when fearing that the guard would
be overcome, they were supplied with mus
kets and ammunition. The heart sickens
at the scene that ensued. Discharges from
the muskets became frequent, sometimes
over the heads of the crowd, and occasion
ally amongst it. We understand that the
muskets were loaded with small shot, with
the view of avoiding the infliction of mortal
wounds. Whilst this scene was passing in
front of north Calvert at. a body of the as
sailants passed around in north Charles street
attacked the house of Mr. Glenn, destroyed
the windows, doors, &c. and demolished and
threw the furniture into the street, but no
disposition was manifested to injure the prop
erty of others. The contest at Calvert
street and other points was renewed at
intervals during the greater poi hen of the
night, and the guard remained on duty until
day light. -
Rumours aro various as to the number of
killed and wounded—but we have no positive
information of more than one of the former.
Numbers were injured by the stones thrown,
besides those wounded with shot.
On Saturday night, fifty-five prisoners
from among the mob, were arrested and
taken to jail. The American of yesterday
morning says:—
The excitement in reference to the per
sons connected with the affairs of the Bank
of Maryland was manifested to a still greater
extent on Sunday night.
At eight o'clock the house of Reverdy
Johnson,. in Monument Square, was attack
ed and entered, the furniture thrown into the
street and burnt, the interior of the house
demolished and the front partly torn down.
A short time before 11 o'clock, the house
ofJohn B. Morris, in South street, was at
tacked, the furniture thrown into the street
and burnt, and the interior demolished.
About the same hour an attack was about
to be made on the newly erected dwelling,
of Hugh McElderry, in north Calvert street
but it is said that a representation that the
property was yet in the hands and at the
risk of the contraetor, induced the party to
retire.
The residence of Jesse Hunt, Mayor of
the city, was nest visited, and the furniture
thrown into the street and burnt.
The house of Captain Bentzinger was
also assailed. The store of Capt. Willey in
Franklin street. was about to undergo a
similar visitation, but the representation by,
Mr. Lynch that the property was j►is and
not captain W's, was the means of its pros.
ervation. The house of Dr. Hintz was
assailed; but his lady making her appea
rance and declaring that the property was
her own, she having received it from her
Gather's estate—they- listened to her appeal
and departed without doing any injury.—
'Flies° citizens were active in supporting the
civil authorities on Saturday night.
A little befote day-break on yesterday
morning, the residence Of Evan T. Ellicot,
in Pratt street was attacked, and tho furni
ture thrown into the street and burnt.
In all these emps the assailants carried
on their proceeMEgs without hindrance or
any attempt at it.
On Monday morning, the Mayor wive
tied the city councils, who after being eddies.
sed by him, resolved to issue an appeal to
the good sense of the community, which
was done. It appears that on Monday,
Jesse Hunt, the Ma) or, resigned, and A.
Miltenberger was elected in his stead. On
the morning of the same day, a meeting of
citizens v%ai held, when a motion was made
and carried to fiwni the citizens of the respec
tivet wards into classes, who should meet in
the afternoon in their several wards. On
Monday afternoon, there was a general shut.
ting up of stores and places of business—the
civil authorities called on General Smith for
aid, who issued an order culling out the aid
division of Maryland Militia. At 10 o'clock
P. M. of Monday, the "American" says—
"corps of citizens, well armed, are occupy.
ing di%rent part of the city,_ arid _thus far
every thing is quiet." These are all the
details which the papers furnish—many
deaths were doubtless lost, but the prints
give no information. Major E. L. Finley
was wounded and taken to York springs for
safety, with a broken leg and many bruises.
MORE Honnons.—The Louisville Jour
nal contains an extract from a letter dated
Cayuga, Miss. July 0. The writer states
that a plot was discovered in Port Gibson to
poison several families. Two of the leaders
in the plot were immediately arrested, and
after they had confessed, their guilt, were
compelled to take their own poison. Both
expired in ten minutes. The Port Gibson
jail, the writer states, is filled with negroes;
and adds by way of postscript, that 30 blacks
have been hanged in Madison county.

This right we claim as well as those who

SIR-1 had just commenced work at press
when your letter of this morning was hand
ed to me, I therefore laid it in the desk, and
did not read it until afler 12 o'clock. Lit
tle or no inconvenience will result from this
delay, I presume; but, without increasing
the delay to an extent which might be deem
ed unreasonable, I shall be obliged to reply
hastily, almost without deliberation or re
flection.
I am not entirely insensible, I hope, to the•
favors of those who have assisted in sustain
ing me in the difficulties which have been
encountered since I came to this place: Nor,
1 trust, do I possess a revengeful or unfor
giving disposition. It is probable that
have, in many instances, permitted the lib
erty of tho press to degenerate into licen
tiousnegs, from a wish to let every freeman ,
exercise his right of speaking his thoughts_
But, after the unfeeling (to use a mild
phrase) manner in which I was recently
treated through the columns of another pa
per—intimating the , probability, if not the
wish, that I would soon be reduced to abject
poverty—and this, too, possibly, with the
concurrence of all the active men who are
now desirous of having their productions pub
lished in the Compiler—l say, taking these
circumstances into consideration, I do not
feel under any peculiar obligations to favor
them, contrary to theinterests of those who
agree with me in opinion.
Personal differences are, I assureyou, ve
ry unpleasant tome; and I have often re
gretted a hasty expression which produced'
them; though it Tight appear to have been
justified by circumstances.
In reply to the main object of your letter
I will only say, that I do not fe*justified ift
making unconditional promises, at present;
nor would I deem such promises expedient
at any time, until I had an opportunity to
peruse and judge of the articles offered—un
less, indeed, it were understood that names•
were to be attached. The article signed
"A Wolf Man," in the last paper, was very
different from what I had hedlh led to expect
from Gen. Miller's conversation with me.

MR. LEFEVER,
Your letter of the 4th inst. was duly re
ceived, (in answer to mine of the same date,)
in which 1 can perceive nothing definite as
to our claims and inquires, answers to which
were solicited from you on behalf of others
as well as myself, who aro friendly to the
re-election of Gov. Wolf. In order to make
upihis deficiency, there was a communica
tion sent to you signed "A Democrat," for
publication, which you have not published
—giving your reasons in the last 'Compiler,'
and stating that "it will be with great re
luctance if we publish this or other similar
productions." This is agnin as equivocat
ing as your first reply. You are. now re
quested to give a positive answer, either in
the affirmative or ne g ative, as it may seem,
best to you .. Should if be in the negative,
you will please return the communication
signed "A Democrat" to the person whose
name was signed to the request made of you,
so that it may be published elsewhere, to
gether with our correspondence.
_ Yours very respectfully,
- G. ZIEGLER.

SIR---Your letter of thitt morning's date
has been received: and as you accuse me of
equivocation, I will now endeavor to be ex
plicit, on some points, at least. As 1 have
already stated, elsewhere, had even you ap
plied to me, in the first instance, it . might
have been improper to withhold any of your
decent communicntions; hut, after you were
the agent to have myself and my political
friends abused through the columns of the
Star, with a malignity,and in langnage.which
is a disgrace to all concerned; and, after
your endeavoring to prejudice the public
mind againSt me, in nn important suit short
ly to be tried—it was very injudicious, in
my opinion, for the friends of Gov. )Volf to
push you forward, as the person to ask me
to publish for them—i request to which eve
ry reasonable person, entertaining my viii%‘
of the circuinstunces, would' have expected
0::)-.Devoted to Politics, Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, Literature, Science, agriculture, (lee Mechanic arts, Internal Improvement, and General altliseetlanyo
a direct and positive refusal. The case
would have been altered, had a political
friend and consistent democrat sent commu
nications; but such men are scarce among
the friends of Wolf in this county. Ido not
intend to publish any communications dero
gatory to the character of Mr. Muhlenberg
and his friends.
Respectfully, yours, &c.

For tho Compiler
The imposition which has been for a time some.
what successfully practised on the good people of
Adams county, we think will soon bo detected by
all who feel an interest in the preservation of those
principles °firm) Republicanism in which it ought
to be our pride to continuo to act. Schemes of
ambition, which most probably(l'd not originate
in this county, but the furthera which have
been most industrously pursued y sot of mon
whose pride it is to be thought leaders, have boon
carried on to an extant which will astonish every
man when he reflects upon the means used to im
pose upon his understanding, and ho brings to his
recollection the , persons who have used thoso
moans. You cannot have forgotten the veins
which were taken by the nctivo politicians of your
acquaintance, to tlefond the policy of the State Ex
ecutive, in the promotion of Internal Improve
merits, and what is called the General School
System, neither of which will long need defenders
in any section of the State; for so soon as they be.
comethoroughly understood; and the vast advan
tages which must inevitable flow from thorn be
seen, so soon will both be properly appreciated by
nil who havo a due regard for the prosperity of the
Commonwoulth, and the mental improvement of
its inhabitants. Nor can you now overlook the
use that Ilea bean made of the internal improvo.
inonts of our country, and that very school law
which will in time secure to children of all our
citizens opportunities , of acquiring information;
which will enable those whose parents him the
misfortune to be poor,to compote with the offspring
oldie most proud and haughty nabobs of the land;
will enablo many in lowly stations, to whom na.
tore has been kind and liberal, but the world stin
gy and niggard, to rise above the frowns of for
tune, and oxalethenisolves to situations in which
they will be useful and respectable.
When Governor Wolf, was first elected to the
office, the improvomonts had been entered upon
and much money had linen expended; and what
ever may be the result of those-improvements and
the consequent expenditures in benefiting or in
juring the citizens of the commonwealth, noed
scarcely now be inquired into; the money has boon
expended, and tho Improvements almost complo•
tad do honor to our native State, have placed her
in an onviablo rank amongst her sisters, and aro
now at this early period producing revenues Ihr
beyond tho expectations of the most sanguine ad
vocates of the system. The school law was not
in operation, had not passed until after his (Gov.
Wolf's) election; and wo will not, nor cannot de
ny, that although most of the Governors who pro
ceded him, had in accordance with the constitu
tion recommended something of tho kind, yet that
it lied not boon very zealously and perseveringly
pressed upon the legislature as an imperious duty,
until lie became Governor; and that ho did on eve
ry occasion enjoin it upon that body,as a long nog.
looted and very important part of the duty which
they owed to their Constitution.
Until latoly,it suited well the inclination ofthoso
who are now Gov. Wolf's most bitter opponents,
not only to justify him in his course in those mat
ters, as well as in the general course Obis admin.
letration, but to praise him as the most honest, up
right and rnorkorious of Govornore! Indeed they
do not even now pretend to point out or specify
their objeations; yet they have the modest assu
ranco WWI you, that it will be Anti-Democratic
to vote for him! 'Tis somowhat strange, that this
discovery should have been made in almost ovory
part of the date, by a few very knowing ones in
each county, precisely at the same ported, with
out the general mass of the people even having
harbored the least suspicion on the subject! Had
it not boon for the vigilance ofthe lynx-eyed Pa.
triots, always wide awake to their own Interests,
who had diswered that they themselves had been
found out, and that their influence was at an end,
we should have never hoard a word on the subject.
The alarm has been liaised, tho cry gone forth,
that Democracy is in danger! but tho alarmists,
the self appointed sontinols who havo raised the I
storm, lave not yet condescended to inform the
Plobonn throng, froni what quarter danger is to bo
expected!! -The peoplo would like to bo informed
from what source the information was derived,
which was for a long time mostlndustriously,and
with an air of groat importance and mystery
whispered about. Where did the few initiated
derive their intelligenEe, that Gov. Wolf had los t
his popularity and could not be re-elected? How
was it ascertained, that although the Governor's
whole conduct had mot with their most decided
approbation, and although they felt the warmest
attachment to his person and fame, yet, they were
constrained to say, that notwithstanding the un
wavering excellence of his conduct, and their un
dying attachment to him, they would be compoll.
od to give him up! what were the reasons which
compelled them, contrary to their own feelinga,in
his favor, to desert the object of their fond attach.
mint?, The public are as yet altogether in th e
dark es to any reasone which could have operated
upon their minds; but the public does know, that
those who were . erefessedly his most ardent friends,
most enthusiastic admirers, are now anxiously en
gaged in endeavoring to use against him the very
weapons which they themselves within a very brief
space of ttrue brandishod in his favor!

THE CORNER STONE
0-Of the new English Lutheran Church in this
placc,will be laid on WEDNESDAY NEXT. The
masons are busily at work, using every exertion to
complete the basement story (8 feet above the level
of the pavemem,) by that time. The building is 70
by 50 feet. and the location about the most convenient
in the place—being in Chambcrsburg street, a short
distance iveat of the Court-house; and,when
will add much to the appearance of that part of the
town.
(0-Our country, throughout its whole length and
breadth, is exhibiting a scene of anarchy and lawless
violence, which is alarming to the judgment, and sick
ening to the heart of the patriot. The Laws have
every where lost their force; and every man, or com
munity of men, redress injuries and avenge wrongs as
he or they may find most congenial to their own feel.-
ings. And in many parts of the country, this course
is justified by the respectable part of community upon
the plea of necessity—alleging that the Law does not
afford adequate remedy! In the South Western States,
a acirronstittdcd! Committee tries and hangs Ameri
can citizens by scores! In our larger Cities, Mobs, in
open day as well as by night, pull down Convents,
and destroy the Property and Lives of private citi
zens, almost without resistance! The citizens of
Charleston (S. C.) have usurped the direction of the
U. S. Mail in defiance of the Constitution and Laws!
Baltimore has again re-established its claim to the
detestable appellation of "Mob-Town!"
What is the cause of this depleFable state of things?
It is obviatsly to be found in the principles established
by the present Administration of the General Govern
ment, AIDED BY SECRET, IRRESPONSIBLE, OATH
BOUND, SOCIETIES. Every Citizen has as good a right
as the Executive to construe the Constitution and
Laws as he understands them; and to judge of the ne
cessity which sets aside the operation of Legal Tri
bunals, and establishes the immediate action of the
self-constituted judge—THE mop! Nor can conviction
and punishment ever follow such crimes, as long as
Secret Leagues arc permitted to oxist,sworn to screen
their brethren from all punishment, whether "right
or wrong!" Those who would preserve our country
from the worst of Despotisms—a lawless mob—wheth
er that mob sit in high places or grovel in the dirt,
must lend their whole energies in eradicating forever
Secret Oath-bound Socikies, and overthrowing that
doctrine of constituting every man the Judge and the
Avenger of the Laws.
0(31-There was also a riot and a mob in Washington
City last week, on account of the apprehension of an
Abolitionist. Order has however been restored there,
as well as at Baltimore.
OurA very destructive fire occurred in New York
on Wednesday morning last. A large block of build
ings was destroyed, occupied as stores, offices, &c.
and upwards of a thousand persons thrown out of em
ployment! Twenty-one valuable printing offices, se
ven binderies,and thirteen newspaper establishments,
are among the property destroyed. Whole loss esti
mated ut about 7 750,000--insurance $215,000.
(o—The election in Kentucky appears to have re
sulted in favor of the Whims. Out of the thirteen
Representatives from that State in Congress, nine
Whigs and two Jacksonmen have been chosen—leav
ing two districts doubtful.
TAXES!
rrWhon the People of this State are ground
down with enormous TAXES, a bold attempt is
muking to continuo thorn, and perhaps increase
thorn, by electing a new man of the same party.
The Demagogues well knew that the people of
Adams county would not vote for Wolf on account
of wasteful extravagance, and so they nominated
Mulilenberg, who they well knew was one of the
brethren of the same tribe, and would pursue the
same policy, and never bring the favorite Agents
of the Masonic party to an account. We might
as well ro.oloct Wolf, as any man belonging to
the Masonic party. If you wished to bring an
agent to a strict sottloment,or indict him for fraud,
would you choose members of his own family as
his judges and jurors?
Elect Railer; a new party will then bo in pow
er, and a full investigation be had of the squan.
doring of the $25,000,000 which has boon bestow

in some instances, with much displeasure,
that the able and popular champi , in of their

gislature. It was not expected at this cris
is; and although it is well known that he
has served his constituents in the capacity
of Representative for the last two years at
a great sacrifice of practice and profit in the
line of his profession, still it was hoped and
expected that he would once more yield to
the call of the People, and forget private

He does not belong to Adams county alone.
He is looked upon as the property of the
party throughout the state; and as such ho
is considered us having no right to decline
a nomination of the opponents of corruption,
extravagance and masonic misrule in Adams
county. This is the voice, and the feeling
of our friends every where, and it is ardent.
ly hoped that the A nt i• Masons of Adams co.
will not allow him at this time to retire from
the service of themselves and the country.—
There is much feeling on this subject,
throughout the slate, and we have too exal
ted an opinion of Mr. Stevens to believe that,
if he should be nominated he will not yield
to the public voice of old friends, awl the
anxious solicitude ofthe Anti-Masons thro'.
nut the state, notwithstanding his refusal to
be a candidate for nomination.
The next session of the Legislature will

masonry than any ten years either preceding
or follo‘ying 4,114 lie will have it in his
power to complete the objects, on which his
talents, and eloquence have been exerted in

alone against lam. Ho will have it in his
power to carry the bill against secret socie
ties, with others of importance to the best
interests of the people, arid the welfare oft he
state, at the coming session, and he should
not be allowed to let the opportunity of doing
so much for the cause and the State pass.
We might say much on this subject, but we
cut our remarks short after again appealing
to the Anti-Masons in Adams county, to
send Mr.STEvENs back, "whether he will

INTERESTING FACT.—Geri. Harrison,
says the Cincinnati Whig, in the course of
his speech delivered at Lafayette, Indiana,
during his late visit to that place, made the
following remarks, by which we are put in
possession of a very interesting fact:
"The idea was a happy one expressed
by a distinguished citizen of our own
country, in his address to the veteran Lafay
ette, "that he had seen posterity." That
same good fortune said General H. was
his. It would seem almost incredible that
the speaker had at one time been the sole
representative in the councils of the nation
of the territory which now forms Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Michigan—nay more,
that he had once been the chief Execntive
Officer of the region last named with the
addition of Missouri and Arkansas—of a
territory extending from the warm Climate
where sugar and cotton are produced, to
the cold country of the North where corn
will scarcely grow."

0-- -- 11Phere should the Church
be aunt?
Build it as near the centre of business as
possible. If our church had employed seve
ral good agents to ride through the cotninu
nity the last forty years, and answer this
question, the cause of Christ would have
been essentially promoted. Some congre
gations have built little churches in the cen
tre of business. Others have supposed that
the stillness of retirement would be cavern
ble to religious worship. A third class have
built a half or whole mile from town, that all
the extremes of the congregation might be
equally distant from the meeting house, con
tending that the people in town might as
easily come out a mile, as those in the coun
try could come in ono. All these and simi
lar reasons are not sufficient. The people
in town are not prepared to convoy their
families out as those in the country to carry
theirs in; and if they were, they are not
accustomed to go out for other things, as the
people in the country are to come to town,
NO that they will not. Christians and imps.
nitent sinners in the country, with very little
sacrifice of feeling, can and will come to
town; but this is by no means true of those
who live in town. It is proper, then, if
circumstances make one place a centre, to
lot that be the centre and not war against
the laws of nature. The spot that circum
stances make a centre for other business,
will have the roads all pointing to it, and
that is the spot for the meetina•house.—
Most deplorable facts through the country
meet the traveller upon the subject. The
place of worship is a little out from town.
There are the graves of the fathers; habit
has made that the spot whither the tribes go
up; and you cannot change it without animos
ities, and the separation ofdear friends; and
still any other denomination, that has its
centre in town, is succeeding better than
they. 'The minister and best men are dis
heartened, many sinners are kept from the
house of God, and souls forever lost. Facts
will show, at the bar of God, that this mat
ter is no trifle in building of the Redeemer's
kingdom.—Cincinnati Journal.
