It does almost necessarily suggest itself
to thope not conversant with the political re
lations of our State, that there will be some
difficulty at the ensuing election, in making
a selection from among the numerous can
didates presented to the people for the office
of Governor.. Upon an impartial considera
tion, however, the difficulty vanishes, and
the mind of the enquirer is relieved from the
embrifiassment into which the apparent di
lemma may have involved it.
The present incumbent, GEORGE WOLF,
is So well known, that it appears to be al
most impossible that he should obtain the
vote of a single freemen of this Common
wealth. The enornious abuses practiced
during his adminiitration, are sufficient to
bring upon him that odium which he so just.
ly deserves. It would be an almost unne
cessary consumption of time, to advert to
the extravagant expenditures of the people's
money, which has been regardlessly squan
dered upon Masonic favorites in office, that
they might grow fat upon the hard earnings
of theindustrious farmer and mechanic.—
The subject is too well known to require
comment, and were it not for the unsuspi
cious, who are frequently misled by the de
signing, it should have been passed over
without even the brief allusion bestowed up
on it. The honest yeomanry have express.
ed their indignation against him in a voice
that cannot be misunderstood, and on the
SECOND TUESDAY OF OCTOBER they will
give the death blow to such unhallowed pro
ceedings.
It is true, he has a - train of parasites, who
for favors bestowed, are still loud in sound
ing his praise, and who will adhere to him
as long as a glimmer of hope remains. The
State is already involved in debt, enough to
startle every honest man; and should his
ruinous policy continue yet another term,
we should be plunged into a debt that even
th -wisest legislation, under the most judi
atria and economical governors, will be una
ble to disengage us from. Such is the em
barrassed situation in which we now stand,
and such is the inevitable and disalstrous
state of affairs that awaits us, unless speedy
and efficient means be adlited for our relief.
The question naturally arises, how are
we to effect this salutary change, and aveit
the danger that threatens us? Is it to be ac.
accomplished by the election of HENRY A.
MUELENDERG? certainly not. He was the

Mr. Finroa—Being in McSherrystown
a few days ago on business. 1 there snw in
the People's Press. the renunciation of
JOHN AULABAHOH, Esq., who had been pla•
ced on the Wolf Ticket as Commissioner.
Being anxious to know how this was brought
about, knowing him to he the warm advo
cafe of Governor Wolf's reelection, on en
quiry I was informed, that John L. Fuller
and John Picking, Esquires, from the Bor
ough of Gettysburg, who are the warm
friends of Parson Muhlenberg, called on M r.
Aulabaugh, and informed him that it was
their wish, and the wish of the Democratic
party of Adams county, that he would de
cline the honor conferred on him by the
Wolf Delegates, in placing him on that
Ticket us Commissioner; and that their
object was solely for the purpose of uniting
and harmonizing the party on one ticket—
and at the same time producing tho renun
ciation of Christian Picking, in order to
make the thing look more plausible. Mr.
Aulabaugh taking them to be the friends of
Mr. Wolf, and more particularly so know
ing John Picking to hold an office under
Gov. Wolf, induced him to believe that they
were sincere in their pretentions, acceded
to their request, not wishing himself to be
an obstacle in they way of a union of the par
ty, could the same be effected as they had
represented to him. Mr. Aulabaugh, how
ever, in a few days discovered that the rep
resentations made to him by these worthies,
were not such as he had a right to expect
from men of their standing. lie immedi
ately authorized his name to be made use
of on the ticket, as the Delegates had be
fore placed it.
Let us now take a view of this mat ter in
its proper light: are the Democrats of Adams
county, to be dictated to by such men as
John L. Fuller, an old Federlistcand John
Picking, who is nothing more than a Lackey
Boy for the Aluhlenborg Faction? These
are the men, together with Andrew and Mo
sey, who have been scouring the county for
some time with handbills and other docu
ments, with a view of furthering the cause
of the Rev. Mul►lenber€! but not content
with this, they have made it their business
to call on every gentleman, (with the excep
tion of Gen. Miller, who they heretofore so
licited to decline accepting the offices he
now holds,) whose name has been placed on
the Wolf Ticket, in order to get them to
renounce through the public papers, for the
purpose of destroying the Wolf party in this
county. More impudence and political dis
honesty never was displayed by any set of
men, than by this disorganizing faction.—
Where is the Democrat who can tolerate
such conduct, or be dictated to by such a set
of disorganizing politicans—who stop at
nothing, no matter how dishonorable, even
if it is publishing a CONFIDENTIAL LETTER
from a most intimate friend! These are
the kind of materials which surround the
Muhlenberg standard! In 1832 advocating
the public improvements, now opposed to
them, and a General System of Education!
In order to gratify their own selfish views,
they would sink the State into utter ruin.
I will now leave this matter to yeomanry
of Adams county, to judge of the Parson's
friends, whether they really can consider
them honest, or otherwise, (I mean politi-
cally.)
A friend to Wolf, from the country.

LATIMORE TOWNSHIP, Sept. 22, 18,35.
AIR. MIDDLETON—An impression has
gone abroad, that RITNER, STEVENS and
11,4;Srinnuir will get but a lean support in
Lifimore township. This is however like
all the other Muhhe tricks in order to de
ceive the public. The honest Farmers and
Mechanics are almost unanimous for the
Anti-Masonic Ticket. It is true there are
a few disappointed office-hunters and shuf
fling politicians, who were at least the pre
tended supporters of Joseph Ritner at the
last election, who now profess to be friendly
to the election of the Rev. H. A. Muhlen
berg, hut there is such a lack of candour and
sincerity in their pretensions, that 'it is irn•
possible to tell whether they ever were the
friends of Ritner, or whether they now are
friendly to the.election of the Parson.

MR. PRINTER,
As I was a few days ago taking a si•alk on
the Mani Road leading to a small village
known as the County Town of Conowago
township, I happened to approach a field m
which I iileryed two persons, who seemed
busily engaged in Conversation. At a dis•
lance yet I perceived that one of them,
his bright Pho:bus phiz and manifidd gesti
culations, was explaining sore of im
portance, us it animated his countenance
and seemed to have the ellitt of diawino
forth all his ptiwers 40i-won , . The other
appeared in a listening, yet doubting atti
rude. I neared them unobserved, and from
the loud tenor pitch of the one's voice, I
could make out that they were talking poli
tics, and had for their subject the all en
grossing topic of the approaching Govern
or's Election. The l'huilius man, whom
shall call A, was proceeding with great volu
bility and high sounding diction in his re-
Marks, from which I gathered the followine:
"Wolf has so dim:timbered his official untr,w
age, and has so blasphemed the revenues of the
State, that his conduct ought to sublime the minds
()revery freeman not to vote for hint. Just look at
the titicates in I h e papers about the squanderment
of the Public Tolls—"
Here A was 'interrupted by the other,
whom I shall call B, who shoved in edge
ways the Wowing:—
Why, Mr. A, you gore once a flourishing Wolf
man! how comas it that you aro now so inuch op
poser! to him? I am sum ho appointed to office
such men whom you wanted, and when he found
them unfit, turned them out again, and look at the
Bucks County Anti Masonic papers, for u true
statement of the present Canal resources.
"What?" replies A, "1 shall look ut that A nti-
Mironie paper? I have but an Apprentice's Ede
cation, and do you think I shall be cootral. and see
that Wolf's and that Stevens's abominable school
law infused into the poor men's children, mid
domineer such men as Welt into the inecutive
chair of State? No! No! it is time for us teinecrats
to distract this down hill uproar. Our opponents
are poditiuusly engaged, and I tell you, neighbor,
they are straining at a nut and wind swallow

Well it is trne, neighbor A, says 13, that there
is much of an uproar and excitement in the Coun•
try, from the North, South, East and West we hoar
of mobs, and sacking, and destroying and burn
tag; we hoar olAbolition and Anti.aholitinni Shi
very and Anti-slavery; of incendiary insurrections
and Lynching, &c. It, would almost seem as if
our lons were inadequate to protect us, and what
it wiil all end in I do not know; some even say
that at the bottom of all is a desire to unite Church
and State!
"Ile," answers A, "I well mind yet what a dif
fusion was made at the time to stop the mail sacks
—they petitioned Congress and made a fuss about
it at Gineral Jackson's Election, and numbered
out that the South black vote helped Gmeral Jack.

The latter part 01 the last sentence Mr.

voice, accompanied with a tremendous slap
of his fist on the fence-rail belbre him, and,
after a pause repeated, in a squeaking voice,
hardly intelligible, "Yr:s. ctn. somn

aghast, and eyeing Mr. A. sonic seconds—
remarked:
Mr. A. I do see that it is impomble for me to

really amazed at the ease and fluency, (not to flat.

From the Philadelphia Herald, a EIMIJIII.EN
BEIZG piper.
In raising, the Banner of JOSEPH RI T-
N ER, in the Herald of today, our readers
will behold a manifestation of that high re
gird in which we hold the honest FARM
ER of Washington County, the premonito
ry s 1 mptoins of w filch, have been so of en ob
served in our columns, as a subject of criti
cism reproach, and calumny, to the inter
ested hirelings of fitction and the mercena
ry devotees of a false and fraudulent politi
cal faith, who have no foundation for their
spurious creed but selfishness, and whose
dogmas only flourish in an atmosphere of
fraud, hypocricy, and deception.
The schism that has split the Democratic
l'arty into two factions, embraces no sound
republican orinci pie, save that of "Rotation
in Office," and "two terms." That princi
ple, combined with the frauds and corrup
tions of his adnnnistration, drove us into op
position to George Wolf's re-elettion;—
but it has left usfree to choose betw een the
fresh candidates who have been nominated
by the majesty of an independent people, to
succeed the imbecile and victimised Memo
bent. When we look back at the fi ands
and corruptions of George Wolf, anterior
to the schism in the party, we behold all
his crimes and misdemeanors sanctioned,
approved, and .upp , irted, by the very men
who now sustain Mr. M uhlenberg; the most
prominent of whom have been quite as cul
pable and mercenary, in the pursuit of pri
vate gain, at the sac ri lice of the public inter
est, as Mr. Wolf himself; and we have,
therefore, no reason to believe, that those
who have deserted Mr. Wolf because disap
pointed in their cupidity, would he purer,
or more patriotic, under the administration
of Mr. Muhlenberg, should the apostate
Nlathiases succeed in deciding•the election.
But one measure, coulci have induced us,
under these circumstances, to support that
gentleman,whose qualifications for the office
are as unquestionable, as his character is
unspotted—and that measure, was the
rechar er of the Bank of the United States;
a measure which we now feel pleasure in
saying is removed from the field, by the
voluntary act of Mr. Biddle in closing the
Branches, at five distinct quarters, as an
evidence of bona tide intention to wind up
that long agitated. and now extinguished
concern. The Bank being no longer, there
fore, in the field, we feel ourselves free to.
choose between the opposition candidates;
and we accord our prelknence to Mr. Ritner,
on the following distinct grounds.
1. He is a FARMER and a WORKINGMAN—and
will consequently be More upright, unsophisticated,
and holiest, in his administration than a member of
what are called "the libereprofeszions;" who have
no sympathies for the working classes; and who
look too exclusively to "good society," for their
rules of action, their models, their measures, and
their appointments. Pennsylvania has long wan
ted the paternal care and sympathy of a practical
farmer, to give a tone and direction to her policy,
distinct from the narrow view of a city faction, and
aloof from the sordid calculations of a mere stockjob
bing administration. Mr. Rituer too, combines
enough of the politician and statesman, to make
him qualified as a PUBLIC GUARDIAN, with
out debasing him into mere tool of sordid and selfish
party purposes. He is familiar with our Legisla-
.erseJ m OUr great questions 01 sOnna pcnicy
—and fully competent to promote the interest, and
secure and maintain the honor and prosperity of the
State.
2. He is the only candidate that can extricate us from
the mire of our depraved city factions; and goveru
the State as PENNSYLVANIA, without sinking
the STA'T'E into the mere appendage of the lanes
and alleys of our Stookjobbing metropolis.
3. Ho is emphatically a Democratic citizen, fresh
from the ranks of the People; and never having
held office illustrates the full integrity of the prin
ciple of "Rotation in Office."
4. He is opposed to a 'splendid and extravagant sys
tern of Goveinment—
He is opposed to a State Debt! •
He' is opposed to oppressive taxation!
He is opposed to high salaries!
He is opposed to sinecures!
He is opposed to intrigne,fraud, and corruption!
He is opposed to secret frauds and aristocratic dis
- Unctions, 4-c. 4-c.
He is in favour of Popular Education!
Internal Improvement!
Free 71"ade, Commerce,
Manufactures, and s.
Sound Currency!
, 5. He is the only candidate, whose -hold on the af
fections of the people, will enable us to defeat Geo:
Wolf! and he ts,therefore,an essential means of se
curing the precedent of Two Terms, a practice so
indispensable to pure government, and Democratic.

principles. By supporting Mr. Muhlenberg, tee
should be instrumental in promoting the re-election
of Geo. Wolf;—but by supporting Mr Ritner, we
do all in our power to ensure the defeat of Wolf,
and the triumph of the great principles of the JI.IF
FEItsON PA RTY. "ROTATION," AND "SHOAT
Tr.nms OF Orrice.'"
. These are among the leading reasons
whi :It now incline us to NAIL THE ItITNER
FLAG TO OUR MAST; as the emblem of politi
cal purity, and the pledge of regeneration
from corruption, fraud, intrigue, and venal
ity. 'f l int it will wave in a glorious tri
umph over the prostrate forces ofGeo. \Volt,
on the second Tuesday of October, we have
n pledge in the incorruptible honesty of a
virtuous, intelligent, and industrious pnpu•

crisis; and determined to purge from the

once olfaction, intrigue, and fraud!
In the Western Ci.unties, Milner carries
all before him! Ins majority over %%'olf on
the other side of the mountains, will be 20,.

We give up the cause of Mr. M.phlenberg
as hopeless, so far as there appears a pros
pect of his election--not because we think
him wanting in merit, or his nomination de
ficient in sound principle—but because his
party is not now properly organizedt—nor
is he now supported by such leaders, as the
People repose confidence in, or hold in res
pect for their talents and patrotism. The
events will confirm our assertion.—lbid.

MR. RITNER.— Drovers and travellers
from the West, represent Mr. !littler as the
favorite and prominent candidate of the
People, whose election is now placed be
yond a doubt. The Wolf papers have,
therefore, left off abusing Mr. Muldenberg;
rid now devote their exclusive attention to
villify lug Mr. Ritner, as the only formidable
opponent of George Wolf. The only argu
ment that they urge against Ritner, is, that
he once drove a team—that he is a Farmer
—that he has not been born and bred a
gentleman, with a silver spoon in his mouth
—and cannot make as graceful a bow as a
dancing master! But we never understood
that it formed a part of the Governor's duty
to teach dancing—or, that high birth was a
qualifieation necessary for a Democratic
officer! But the Sentinel, and other Wolf
papers, ridicule the idea of having a Farmer
tiu. a Governor—and are ready to WI into

SNYDER AND RITNER.
There is a striking similarity in the pub:
lic and private career of Simon Snyder and
Joseph Ritter, that must be apparent to eve . .
ry one acquainted with the political history
of Permsylvai.ia for the last thirty years.—
They both belonged to the laboring class,
and were both brought forward by 'I'H E
PEOP LE, in opposition to the train bands
of Executive power, to effect a ref Orin in
the abuses and deep rooted corruption of the
existing administration of the government.

We find, likewise,that precisely the same
means were used by the office holders to de
feat Snyder's election, that are ;low put in
operation against Ritner, viz: For, ery, Per
jury, and Falsehood. A letter was forged,
bearing Simon Snyder's name, addressed to
an individual in Beaver county, pretending
to give his opinions, and intended to hold
him up to ridicule, and defeat his election.
Every one recollects the base forgery per
petrated three years ago, by one of Wolf's
Prothonotaries. Snyder's religious opin
ions were misrepresented and assailed, and
the coarsest abuse heaped on him as Et "clod.
hopper," "a thick-headed Mechanic," &e.
by the lordly aristocracy of that day. Arid
what do we now see? Men of the s am e char

unducted the affairs of government to the

too much to assert that the "Western Far

Anti-Masons of Adams County:
two short weeks, you will be cal
led on to go to the polls, and secure your
Country from the profligate and corrupt Ma
sonic party which has nearly ruined it.
That party, in order to deceive and dis
tract you, has divided into two parts! and
it can be of but little importance to honest
men which of those parties succeeds, if ei
ther must. Wolf and Masonry have squan
dered your Treasure on worthless_ favorites.
Muhlenberg and his unprincipled faction,
have approved of every act of Wolf's admin
istration; and are themselves among the most
worthless of the sycophants upon whom he
bestowed the people's money. The Rever
end Parson, who now asks your suffrages,
presided at a meeting in Berks county last
autumn, drafted resolutions approving of all
Wolf's acts, and made a speech in favor of
his resolution. And it was only when it was
found that Wolf could not succeed, that the
APOSTATE PREACHER was brought out to
take a few Anti- Wolf votes and thus re-elect
Wolf. Muhlenberg will not receive 30,000
votes in the State. He is hardly considered
a candidate, except in a few of the middle
counties where Wolf could have had no
votes, whether Muhlenberg had run or not.
This is a part of the Van Buren policy to
secure his party from rain. flow admira
bly wise are those few Whigs who aid him!
The Lodge going Whigs we speak not of.
They are any thing against Anti-Masonry.
Let them be given over to the hardness of
their own hearts.
Friends of Miner!
Let us be vigilant. Let every voter go
to the polls. Supineness might yet defeat
us. Every servile tool of the Lodge will
be out. in vigilance, and in that only, let
us imitate them. IF WE ARE TRUE TO OUR
SELVES, A GLORIOUS VICTORY A
WAITS US.
Franklin County.
1: - The Anti-Masons of Franklin Coun
ty have at last discovered, what they ought
to have seen long ago, the folly of relying
upon the Whigs of that county, who are go
verned by that epitome of Masonry, George
K. Harper, and his "Repository." We
speak not of the Whigs of ether parts of the
State. 7 hey are generally (except the Ma
sons and their tools,) with the Anti-Masons,
and acting cordially with them for the good
of the country. But the leading Whigs of
Franklin county HAVE SACRIFICED THEIR
OWN PRINCIPLES, AND ARE SUPPORT,
ING A VAN BUREN GOVERNOR,
out of spleen against Anti-Masonry! In
hope of destroying it, they have united with
their own enemies,and support George Wolf!
Let them, and all like them wherever they
reside, go and 'become Jackson men at once.
They are less dangerous as avowed enemies
in the ranks of the enemy, than as treach
erous, vascillating allies.
7 lio Anti-Masons of Franklin county
have settled a full ticket and an excellent
one it is. We trust they Will ever do so,
and vote their own ticket if they should be
sure of defeat. They have nursed the Whigs
until they are nearly swallowed up by the
Lodge. If they cannot now succeed, they
can at least save their honor and inspire con

GREAT MEETING AT LANCASTER
2000 PIIEEMEN.
Ore had the satisfaction, on Saturday
week last, of being present at one of the
largest meetings ever held in the City of
Lancaster. Upwards of Two THOUSA N D
Freemen were present, although the morn
ing was unfavorable and the rain descended
in torrents in the afternoon! After the or•
ganizalion of the meeting, resolutions ex
pressive of the views of the meeting upon
the EXTRAVAGANCE, FAVORITISM and DIS
HONESTY of the MASONIC PARTY, and
of the perfect confidence of the Democratic
Republicans of Lancaster in the HONEST 7
and INTEGRITY of the WASHINGTON
COUNTY FARMER, were introduced,
read and after eloquent, appropriate and
highly able addresses from Mr. PARKE, of
Lancaster city; Mr. BA CLA Y, of Reading;
Mr. JONES, of Philadelphia, Mr. HAMBLY, of
York, and Mr. STEVENS, of this place, unan
imously adopted. During the delivery of
the above addresses, the speakers were ^res
pectively complimented by the audience
with repeated and enthusiastic plaudits.—
And the meeting broke up amidst feelings
the most sat isthctory and encout aging. All
animated and pleased with each other, and
more than ever determined in giving A LONG
PULL, A STRONG PULL, A PULL ALL TOGETH
ER, in tearing down the rotten fabric of Ma
sonry, and in exalting to the Gubernatorial
Chair, the WASHINGTON COUNTY
FARMER.
After the exercises in the Courthouse, a
large number of citizens and miters repair
ed to the house of Mr. COOPER, (of the Red
Lion,) and partook of one of the handsomest
dinners ever set before any company. As
one who partook of the good things of "mine
host," we can bear ample testimony to the
Committee's judicious selection of Mr.
Cooper, and in the goodness of his viands
and the richness of his wines. Perfect good
feeling and harmony prevailed throughout
the evening, and we were thankful to the
kindness of the Committee in permitting us
to witness and participate in what was ap
propriately called,
"A feast of Reason, and a flow of soul."
We subjoined a few notices of the meet
ing and of Mr. STEVENS' remarks:—
From tho Lancaster Union
THE MEETING OF YOUNG MEN and oth
ers friendly to the election of JOSEPH
RITNER, held in the Court House of this
city, on Saturday last, was, without doubt,
the largest political assemblage we have
ever seen in Lancaster. Notwithstanding
the cloudy and threatening aspect of the
heavens, during the early part of the day,
and the rain in the afternoon, the large room
on the first floor, (politely vacated for the
purpose by the District Court) was filled to
overflowing. The number of persons pre
sent has been estimated, by those who pro
fess to know the capacity of the room, at
Two Thousand;—and a large number, a
mounting, we are told, to several hundred
were unable to obtain admittance. Be the
number greater or less, however, no one
could have wished a more gratifying and
decided manifestation of the determination
of the people to sustain the man of their
first choice against all the arts and intrigues
of the opposing factions. No one could
have desired a more effectual refutation of
the silly assertions, so often reiterated by
the Wolf orderlies, to keep up the sinking
spirits of the officeholders, in relation to
the influence of Muhlenberg upon the Anti-
Masonic party. At no period, during what
"the party" would call Mr. Ritner's palmier
days, (when, for instance, he had but a
single opponen9 do we believe a more en
thusiastic or cheering evidence of his over
whelming popularity, in this county, could
have been obtained. On the contrary, the
complexion of the recent meeting affords
the strongest possible grounds for the pre
sumption that not only have the Anti• Maso
nic party retained their original predilection,
in all its enthusiasm, but that the Whigs of
Lancaster were never before so united in
support of the Washington Farmer.
As we intend to publish the proceedings
of the meeting, we shall merely slate now,
that, after its organization, in the morning,
by the appointment of officers, &c. a series
of resolutions was reported;—upon which,
the Meeting was successively addressed by
Messrs. Parke, of the city, Barclay, of Read-
Mg, and Jones, of Philadelphia. A recess
was then taken until half past one,P. M. when
the meeting was re-opened by an address'
from M r. Humbly, of York, who was follow
ed by Mr. Stevens, of Gettysburg, in an
impassioned harangue, principally on the
distinctive tenets of his party, ofabout thirty
minutes in length. During the delivery
of the addresses, the repeated cheers of the
immense audience afforded the bast possi
ble midenaeof the satisfaction which . the
several speakers were heard.
After the adjournment, the invited guests,
together with about ninety or a hundred
citizens of the town and country, sat down
,71,,.. I under the
direction of the committee, by Mr. Cooper.
The good viands and rich wines of "mine
host" of the Red Lion detained the com
pany in agreeable association and mirthful
converse until about six o'clock, when a
general dispersion took place, under a heavy
shower
As incident to this meeting, we had an
opportunity of taking by the hand several
of our brethren of the type, and other
gentlemen from some of the neighboring
counties. All spoke with confidence of
the progress and flattering state of the good
cause in the several districts with which
they were most intimately acquainted, and,
as to the general result, no one felt the
slightest apprehension. Even in Berks
county, we were assured, where Mr. Mull
lenberg received a majority of 3000, at
the last Congressional election, there were
certain data, for the estimation of Mr. Rit•
ner's vote at about 600 (only) less than
of the Reverend candidate himself!
From the Lancaetor Examiner
In seconding the resolutions prepared by
the committee, SAMUEL PARKE, Esq. ofThis
city addressed the assemblage in his usual
happy manner, and at the call of the meet
ing, was followed by GEo. G. BARCLAY, Esq.
of Reading, in a very animated address
winch elicited the repeated plaudits of the
audience. Jong. R. JONES, Esq. of Phila
delphia, then addressed the meeting in a
very able manner, after which it adjourned
to meet again at two o'clock in the after
noon, when THOMAS C. HAmar.v, Esq. of
York, opened with a neat and pertinent
speech of about twenty minutes, which was
received . with many marks of approbation.
THADDEUS STEVENS, Esq. of Adams, then
addressed the meeting for about forty min•
utes, in a strain of eloquence surpassing any
thing we have ever heard. His remarks
were listened to with interest, and interrup
ted frequently by the loud cheers of the im•
mense assemblage. Whatever else our op
ponents may say of M r.Steven3,all who heard
him on Saturday must admit that as an Ora
tor he has few equals and no superior in the
state. We wish most sincerely that every
man in the county—we care not to what
party he may belong—had been present to
hear him, particularly those portions of his
remarks which related to the baneful influ
ence of Free-Masonry upon the laws and
press of the country. It must have carried
conviction to the bosom of every one within
the reach of his voice. After Mr. Stevens
had concluded, the resolutions previously re
ported were unanimously adopted, and the
meeting adjourned.
The meeting was everything the friends
of the cause of Ritnor and Reform could
have wished—full, spirited, and conducted
with a degree of decorum that might be ad•
vantageously copied by those who claim the
wisdom of superior age. The young men
of Lancaster have done well—nobly. Let
them act out what they have begun with the
prudence and decision that characterized
their incipient proceedings, and they will
receive as they will deserve the applause of
every friend of correct principles.
MT Tho Editor of the Norristown Free Press
being present, takes the following notice of Mr.
Stevens' remarks—
We shall not attempt to do justice to the
masterly speech of Mr. STEVENS. It was
a thrilling outpouring of human eloquence
in behalf of the rights of man, which riveted
the attention and won the heart of every one
capable of feeling and judging the impor
tance of good government and the correct
administration of the laws. His elucida
tions were the most clear, big arguments
the most cogent, his appeals the most touch
ing, and his sarcasms the must withering,
that ever fell to our lot to hear.
0::rIn the evening, after the meeting of
the Anti-Masons, the Lancaster Lodge call
ed a meeting of its• members and props at
the Courthouse. Desirous of hearing what
would be said, we attended in company with
others. The object of the meeting was
stated to bring back those who had been in
the day time made acquainted with the hol
low•heartedness of the Lodge and Wolfism,
and foresworn "the party." But in this the
meeting was disappointed. True, "Judge
Franklin's son," as we were informed, and
other Office-holders, attempted to address
those present; but it was only in the low,
vulgar style of a Looney M'Twalter—the
usual slang of the Lodge! And so far from
convincingot only the more confirmed "their
deserters," as he termed them, in their de
termination of rallying with the people a
round the unsullied banner of Anti-Masonry
—& perfectly disgusted with the blackguard
comparison of Intelligent freemen with
beasts, they left the meeting, regretting that
those who were permitted to associate so
freely with gentlemen, bad not imbibed at
least some of their characteristics.
o:frYoung Franklin stated to the Lan
caster Wolf Meeting, that he was "just as
sure of Wolfs re-election as he had a soul to
be saved!" it is generally admitted, that the
Lodge, if it ever had a soul, that ►t is now
lost to all eternity. And it is therefore
suspected that he must be a "soulless" prop,
indeed, who will at this late day put his
shoulders to a decayed pillar of the Institu
tion, to prevent its falling!
• KI-We understand that the Grand Lodge,
and the Jack Conspirators of this place,have
reestablished their hired libeller, JACOB
LEFEVER, and furnished him with new
types and press, to curry on his political and
private malignity—the establishment to be
screened under the name of ove of the Con
spirators! o:!TAndrew G. Mater went to
Philadelphia about it!!
Masonic Falsehood Refuted.

ligious opinions as matters of no importance
in poliucs, yet we deem it our duty to ex
pose the FALSEHOODS and FORGERTES of the

Religious opinions. They charge him with

GEATTLEM EN,
Your favor dated the 21st inst was hand•

you were appointed at a numerous and re
spectable meeting of the opponents of Secret
Societies, to address me for the purpose of
repelling an untrue report which has been
circulated against me.
I regret that my political friends should
have found it necessary to apply to me per
sonally, for any such refutation; but it seems
that our adversaries wish to avail themselves
of the Catholic excitement to obtain votes un
der an erroneous public impression.
Under ordinary circumstances, I would
have considered it of no consequence; but as
there can be no doubt but that the assertion
that I am a Roman Catholic is made for the

OBITUARY RECORD
DIED.
Near Frederick City, on the evening of the 16th
inst. Miss MA nv JAN 6 WHITE, eldest daughter of
the late Mr. John White, in the 26th year of her age.
The sudden removal of the deceased in the morn
ing of life,is deeply painful to a wide circle of rela
tives and friends,to whom she was endeared by many
virtues; but they are consoled by the assurance that
their loss is her gain. She was blessed with early mi.
ligious instruction, and had for several years adorned
her profession as a follower of Christ. As might have
been expected from a life of retiring,butconsistent pie
tv,her last hours were calm and petteeful,and at times
filled with triumph at the prospect of soon beholding
her Saviour. With entire composure she gave her
parting councils to her weeping friends, with great
earnestness commended them to the Saviour in pray
er, remembering those absent and imploring the Di
vine blessing upon the church of which she was a
member She took the ring from her finger and gave
it to a friend, to be presented to be presented to the
Young Ladies Missionary Society, saying, "she re
gretted she had not done more for rue cause of mis
sions." After this parting with her friends, and this
remembrance of the cause of Christ in a world she
was just leaving, she calmly waited her summons to
depart, frequently requesting a portion of Scripture
to be read,or a hymn to be sung,in which she joined
with deep emotion until her voice failed.
Having thus bid adieu to the world and commenced
that praise which was to be perpetuated in Heaven,
she sweetly slept in death—
"The Angel of the Covenant
Was come, and faithful to his promise stood
Prepared to walk with her thro' death's dark vale
And - now her eyes grew bright,and brighter still,
Too bright for ours to look upon, suffused
With many tears, and closed without a cloud.
They set as set the morning star, which goes
Not down behind the darkened west, nor hides
Obscure among the tempests of the sky,
But melts away into the light of Heaven."
[Frederick Herald.
