reformation and smother investigation. Be
not deceived by the clamor and outcry at
present raised by the Mublenberg party a
iptinst the extravagance and improvidence
= ofGov. Wolt's administration. It is am in
terested clamor, carved for present purposes,
:.:'and will die away as soon ns the election is
over, if they succeed in electing their man.
You will then hear no more of their Jere
' •miads over the public burthens; but in lieu
thereof, you will find them with one accord
time their voices to the Syren song of peace
and plenty!
We promised you, in the outset, that our
conclusions should be warranted by the evi
4eace. What better evidence can we give
• you of the correctness of the conclusion brie
drawn, than the simple fact, that prior to
the 4th of March, 1835, w hen the schism
took place, although the abuses now csm
plained of, all then , existed—although the
public debt was then es now; 25 1 000 e.
000 of dollara—althougli the fact was
then as now, notorious that one third or more
- of-this immense sum was idly and unneces
sarily expended to emit h the Canal nobility
.and the army of OA holders—although,
in a word, the aspect public elfin's was
then"identical with the preseike—not one of
• these netrjledged Church and mtriots
.had one word to say about y and
gxtranngance, or lifted up his warn•

-new light has since theii, flashed athwart
their benighted vision? Alil yes!—There is
'icifinleres4 by its fitful and
r ..:, ominous glare, they are (lbw groping their
way to power through a tangled maze of
oontradictions, absurdities and incoosisten
•
Cleat
If the public desire a reform of, there must
be an investigation into, abuses—and this
investigation can never be had, until the
reins of power shall be committed to those
who will not be interested in its suppression.
- It there is any value in the precepts of ex
perience, we tray derive-from it one saluta
ry lesson,—that it is utterly in vain to ex
pect any investigation that shall be search
ing, thorough and satisfactory, whilst the
party now in power maintain the ascendan
cy. The public voice has again and again
demanded it. The effort has again and a
gain 'been- made in the Legislature, to effect
it—and still the lEgis of power has been
interposed to screen the guilty from expo
mitre and punishment! lf, then, we are in
earnest in our endeavors to secure this de
sirable, end ? we must arise in the might and
irresistible' strength of an insulted, abused
people, and, plucking the lEgis of power
:from the hands that now hold it, commit it'
"to the hands of those who will not interpose
it between public offenders and public justice.
There are other reasons why we conceive
neither Mr. Wolf nor Mr. Muhlenberg de
serving of the support of the free people of
Pennsylvania. We shall only notice a few;
the limits of this address forbid an attempt
to enumerate them all.
-- In 1820, when Gov. Wolfcame into pow
er, the canals and public works were nearly
half finished, and the State debt was then
!something over 57,000,000. He
- has been in office 6 years, and the debt is
now $2 s,ooo,ooo—nearly quadru
pled. This immense augmentation of the
State debt, was the direct result of Governor
Wolf's own acts; for,- be it remembered,
that no bill'passed by the Legislature
.be.
comee a law, without the Governor's signa
ture, Unless sustained by a veto of two-thirds
of the members.
The greater part of this money was ex
pended in local improvements and appro
priations, which were not only unnecessary
until the main line of communication be
-tweet) the East and the West was comple
ted, but also retarded the completion of the
latter, and thus rendered the whole unpro
tluetive, for years beyond the time when
_they ought to have been a source of reve
nue. If, therefore, Gov. Wolf had refused
' his assent to those local and partial appro
priations, the main line would have been
earlier completed, and the larger portion of
1 . the debt not incurred; for amid the conflict
of local interests, it is not probable that any,
. or but-few at most, of those bills could have
passed by the 'constitutional vote.
,Again—The Interest on the State debt now
amounts to 81,250,000
Annual repairs, salaries of 443
-canal officers and expences,
amounts to
$1,911,775
, .
the Canal tolls,estimated by the
Wolf party at
Letivipg a bnlance to be paid in
TAXES of 81,211,775
Add to this, the fact that more than dou
,
" ble the number of Canal Officers and Agents
• • suaemployed that are necessary, that Col
lectors are employed in various places at
;higher 'salaries than the whole amo't of tolls
p:illected at their: respective offices—and
.that many of the Canal nobility hire persons
low wages to do the duties of their office,
whilst they spend their time and the money
trf , ,the people, in riding about the country
electioneering—and we have such a state of
:,,,,things presented as lou:lly and imperiously
galls fat n application of a remedy.
di ,
Our last objection to Gov. Wolf which
:., We shall state is, that he is 'thigh, adhering

power and public trust and pat; cringe—
Judge yo!
In addition to the foregoing objection.,
I which from their identitl of party, interest,
and previous action, apply with equal force
to Mr. Muhlenberg, we have other objections
to the latter which we think render him un-.
fit for the high station to which he aspires.
He is a renegade Parson—an apostate from'
the service of Almighty God, to which he
had solemnly dedicated himself in the min
is!ry. We do not deem it right to reward
with honors and emoluments, the man who,
to gratify a worldly ambition. thus forsakes
his allegiance to Heaven—and we consider ,
it unsafe as a precedent, as tending to bring
clerical influence to bear upon public coun
sel, and thus leading to a union of Church
and State.
In the last place, both Wolfand Midden
berg stand identified with the Van Buren
party; and it is well known that the latter
by their voies,prevented Pennsylvania from
receiving her share of the
. proceeds of the
public lands, amounting to at least $300,-
000 annually--a sum which would have
been no slight a;leviation of the burthens un
der which she groans.
Contra distinguished from Welt and Mull
ienberg, in almost every particular that we
have noticed, we have as our candidate for
Governor, Josnrn RITNER—the able, prac
tical statesman—the self:educated scholar—
the liberal, enlightened friend of Education
—like many of yourselves, a practical, in
dustrious farmer—and tie noblest of God's
works, AN HONEST UPRIGHT MAN. He is all
this, but Fellow-Citizens! lie is more: He
is the representative of sound Democratic'
principles. Here, again, we notice a strik
ing contrast between ours and all other po
litical parties in the State. They may rai
l., respectively under-the Wolf standard and
the Muhlenberg banner. We rally under
the broad flag of Anti-Masonry. They may
be, as they are, characterized by a slavish
devotion to the name and the fortune of an
individual—for they have no other common
tie to bind them together—We go for free
thim, reform and the Supremacy of the
Laws.
Let others talk of the Wolf party, and
the altililenherg party. We repudiate the
idea and disclaim the name of the Ritner
party. We bind ourgelves to the chariot
wheels of no individual. We assert our
principles and fearlessly maintain them; and
when we select an individual from our ranks,
as their representative, we strive to select
one who will do them no dishonor, and hay
ing made our selection, we sustain him with
our talents and oar influence—because, in
sustaining him, we uphold those eternal and
everlasting principles on which our cause is
based.
Such a representative, we believe we have
found In JOSEPH RITNER. Starting from ob
scurity and humble life, he has by the force
of native talent, without any of the adventi
tious aids of fortune, raised himself to the
highest honors; and then again when his
allotted terms of public service had expired,
we see bim,like Cincinnatus,returning to his'
plough. He has ever, in all his varied pub
lic career, been found arrayed on thee side of
the constitution and the laws—and his life,
both in public and in private, has been that
of a virtuous man, without fear and without
reproach. At the call of his Country, we
see him rush to the tented field, his knap
sack on his back, and his fire-lock on his
shoulder, not too proud to serve in the ranks
as a common soldier--happy, too happy, if
even there unnoticed and unknown, he might
water with his blood, the tree of liberty.—
He was among the earliest of those who as
serted the supremacy of the laws against the
secret and oath bound institution of Free-
Masonry; and from that time until the pre
sent,he has been their unwavering advocate.
Fellow-citizens! HAVE ISE NOT REASON TO
BE PROUD OF SUCH A CANDIDATE.
The busy malice of his enemies, finding
nothing else in the history of his life, to find
fault with, accuse him, as though that were
a crime, of being a Catholic!!! Gracious
Heaven! and has it indeed come to this!—
Not half a century elapsed since the adop
tion of that Constitution which declares
"That no person shall, on accouct of his re
ligious sentiments, be disqualified to hold
any office or place of trust or profit under
this commonwealth' —and are we already to
have a religious test introduced into our e
lections? Suppose Mr. Rimer was a Cath
olic, would that be a crime in him? Then
is every Catholic a criminal? Would that be
a disqualification for civil office? Then is
every professor of the Catholic faith disqual
ified! Nay more—your constitution, which
you hold as the apple of your eye, becomes
worse than a dead letter. Such is the ne
cessary, the legitimate, the inevitable con
sequence, of the recognition of the princi
ples assumed by the advocates of Wolf and
Aluhlenherg. You see to what it would
lead. We cannot find language to express
our abhorence of this attempt to mingle sec.
tarian excitement with political discussion,
and to outlaw by implication, a large and
respectable portion of our fellow-citizens.
We consider it a matter of no importance
in a political point of view, whether Mr.
Ritner is or is not a Catholic; for ourselves,
we would never pause to make the inquiry;
but as the allegation has been made that he
is, and made in a way that implied that he
was deserving of reproach on that account,
it is but homage to truth, to deny it. The
voluntary testimony of his neighbors estab
lishes the refutation; and to that we refer,
and thus dismiss the subject.
FELLOW-CITIZENS! Our county has been
inundated with anonymous hand-bills, pur
porting to be a statement of Joseph Ritner's
votes on the subject of Internal Improvement,
and the object has been, to induce you to
believe that he went hand in hand with the
visionary theorists, and profligate specula
tore, who have brought the State to her pres
ent condition. Rut if you will examine the
map as well as the Journal, you will find
that every vote he gave was necessary for
the furtherance of his plan, the completion
ofa mai» rinds from Philadelphia to Pitts.

would have been enriched instead of being
impoverished by her System of Internal Im
provements.

The ensuing session of Congress will

discussion of the respective merits of the

to which is really the Democratic party,will
elicit such display of Wolf and Muldie tal

which the advantages resulting from bur

PREACHING AND SERMONS.
MR. MIDDLETON,
The Parson's boys from your place, who
have assumed the ministerial functions have
been traversing this section of the county,
preaching some of his stale sermons, in
which is most awfully deprecated the sin of
forsaking the priesthood. They have had
a wonderful effect upon some of the devout
families of this region. They likewise dis
tributed a great number of printed sermons,
which are gladly received at this apple-but

jars, &c.! They can be purchased here by

READING.
David Fullerton, who three years ago
rode the greater part of the south side of this
county to aid the election ofJoseph Ritner,
has been, by the %Volt men, nominated for
the state senate. I low he can expect to re
ceive the support of the democtatic party,
is more than we can discover. There is
also another grand objection to him,and that
is, the great length of time he has already
been in office. It never has been the pract irt
with democrats to elect a senator for a third
time, and very rarely for a second—but Mr.
Fullerton like Wolf himself, notwithstand
ing his advocacy of some of the most obnox
ious laws ever passed, wants the citizens of
Franklin county to overlook his faults and
keep him 12 years in one office.—Cham

Masonic Falsehood Refuted.
OzrAlthough we consider a man's Re
ligious opinions as matters of no importance
in politics, yet we deem it our duty to ex
pose the FALSEHOODS and FORGERIES of the
Masonic party in reference to Mr. RITNER'S
Religious opinions. They charge him with
being a Catholic, believing that they could
render him and the Catholic Religion odi
ous at thesame time. We subjoin the proof
of their lies:—
VERITAS.
GEMTLEMEN,
Your favor dated the 21st inst was hand•
ed to me a few hours ago. It appears that
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. •
1 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
same purpose, and comes from the same
source that induced John Brown to commit
.perjury, and others to perpetrate forgery, in
1832, I repel the charge, and inform you
that I AM NOT A ROMAN CATI-10-
LIC.
I am Gentlemen, with respect,
lour obedient servant,

The friends of the Farmer, the Constitu

private business for that day, and attend the
meeting; so that the Office-holders and Of
fice-hunters, as well of this State as of • the
General Government, may see, that neither
the Parson nor the La wyer,but that the FAR
MER OF WASFIINGTON COUNTY IS the true
Candidate of the PEOPLE of Adams coun

tnst. must decide, if the People's rights and,
interests shall be consulted and regarded in
future within this State; or if you and your
posterity shall, for three years longer, be
doomed to be the hewers of wood and the
drawers of wilier for the exclusive benefit
of the minions of a depraved Secret Socie
ty and an ambitious PRIESTHOOD—both
highly aristocratical in their principles; we
hope Fellow-Citizens, that you will not hesi
tate to looso a day, in order to promote the
reform necessary for the saving of your lib
erty.
T. STEVENS, Esq. has promised to at

Anti-masons of Adams Co.:
Krln ono short week the destinies of the
State for the next three years, and the final
destiny of Masonry in Pennsylvania, will
be decided by the votes of the FREEMEN of
this great State. How important, then, for
yourselves and your children that every un
shackled voter s hould be at the polls! Nev
er before has so fair an opportunity offered
for redeeming the State, from the enormous
abuses which now oppress it. It is the duty
of every freeman who is able to go to the
election, to deposit his vote in the ballot box.
Let none think that his vote will be of but
little importance. One absent voter in each
township of the State, might decide the re
sult. Let none think that because RITNEWEI
prospect is bright, that he may neglect his
duty. Desperate efforts will be made to
defeat him. FRAUD, FORGERY and PERJU
RY will be again resorted to, to defraud the
people.
Up, then,every Freeman! Go to the polls,
and vote for the FARMER, hiseph Ritner!
Look out for Forgeries, Frauds
and Lies!
OzrAs usual with the Masonic party, we
expect to hear of a thousand LIES about
JosErn RITNER, the week betore the elec-
tion. Let not the people believe them.—
Never was a purer and abler man than Jo-
SEPIt. RITNER before the people for their
suffrages. Office• holders and Office-hunters
may lie and swear to their lies, his charac

blemish.
ANOTIIER FAILURE!
GROAT IVIEEITI'NO EV GEttiIIANYI
0-%Ve had the satisfaction of attending,
on Saturday last, the largest political meet
ing ever held in any section of the county
out of the Borough—and exceeded but by
very few ever held in the Borough. The
old and the young for miles around, were
there—all animated and zealous in the cause
of the GERMAN FARMER. The meet.
ing was organized by appointing Mr. DA
VID 'LUCK, President; Messrs. Jecon
BAIMIGARTNEUi ISAAO KREBS,JOHN LECII.
'TV and Lvowles STUDY, Vice•Preanlents;
ii4SE
and Messrs. Isaac Snyder and Isaac Jones,
Secretaries. After the organization of the
meeting, the subjoined Resolutions were in
troduced and supported in an eloquent and
forcible manner by Mr. STEVENS, and after
a few remarks from Gen. MILLER, were U
NANIMOUSLY adopted:—
Resolved, That we believe Secret Som.
ties bound together by unlawful oaths, to be
inconsistent with the genius and safety of a
Republican government.
Resolved, That we ore opposed to the
election of George Wolf, because he is bound
by his Masonic Oaths to give an unmerited
preference to his Masonic brethren; and has
squandered the people's money on worthless
favorites.
Resolved, That we will oppose the Rev.
trend Henry A. Muhlenberg, because ho is
a member of the Masonic party; and he,
and his friends have supported Geo. Wolf
in all his wasteful measures, and approved
of all his acts, and have only turned against
him when the people would no longer follow
them.
Resolved, That we believe li. A. Muh
lenberg was nominated and supported for the
purposg of taking votes from Joseph Ritner,
and thitis secure the re-election of George
Wolf, by again cheating the people.
Resolved, -That we will never support for
Governor either an adhering, or an apostate
Priest, as we believe it dangerous to our
liberties to unite Church and State.
Resolved,• That we will support Joseph
Rimer, because he is an honest, saving
man, and a plain Republican FARMER;
without guile, and without pride.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting, be signed by the Officers and pub
lished.
KrAs the stale charge of Mr. Ritner
being a Deist, has been renewed by those
pretty boys who are traversing the county
delivering speeches in favor of the Apostate
Preacher, we feel called upon to give such
evidence in our possession as will refute this
vile slander, propagated in the first place by
those convicted Of ROBBING TIIE MAIL and
of llonsE STEALING, and renewed now by
Renegades and betrayers of confidential let
ters! Such persons are generally the revi
lers and defamers•of purity and virtue!
In reply to a letter addressed to him by
Mr. Jacob Williams, of Carlisle, Mr. Limn .
MYERS, of Cumberland county, with whom
he lived about nine years, bears the follow
ing ample testimony to his correct, moral
character:—
West Pennsboro' Township,
September 5, 18:15.
Mr. Jacob Williams:—Dear Sir—ln re
ply to your letter in which you request me
to give such information as t possess in re
gard to the religious and moral character of
Mr. Josheph Ritner. For the purpose of
publicly showing the falsity of fabricated
charges ofDeism and Catholicism that have
been alleged against him, hereby state that
Joseph Ritner lived with me about nine
years—namely, from the age of about four
teen years until he married, during which
time he attended church with my family
regularly. And that he never attended the
Roman Catholic church to my knowledge.
Moreover, he had a bible and testament of
his own which he read, professed and be
lieved to be the word of God. His religious
sentiments were favorable to christianity—
his character was unfornily honorable and
moral—Hence, I believe him well qualified
to fill the office of Governor of Pennsylvania.
1 am yours most respectifully, &c.
'JACOB NIYERS
.
Besides this satisfactory evidence, we
have more stronger in a letter from the
Rev. W. C. ANDERSON, son of the Rev. Dr.
ANDERSON, of Washington county, who was
for a long time Pastor of the congregation
to which Mr. Ritner was attached:—
From my earliest recollection, Mr. Rit
ner was a pew-holder in the Presbyterian
church of Upper Mill°, till lately under the
pastoral care of the Rev. Di. Anderson.—
In that church he, together with his family,
wore generally worshipporb. He also sus
tained his part in the benevolent associations
of the day. I remember once to have re
ceived from him a handsome collection of
books for the use of the library of the Sab
bath School connected with that congrega
tion. Of this school some of his children
were members; and his son,the accomplish
ed
and much lamented Lieut. Ritner of the
U. S. A. an efficient teacher. I will state
further, that, I do not remember to have
seen so many copies of the Holy Bible in
any house in our district as in Mr. Miners
—and BIBLES too, bearing marks of fre
quent reference. These facts in Mr. Rit.
nor's history furnish you the refutation de
sired. It' direct testimony was wanting,
they most plainly prove the charge a false
one. And before I diSmiss the subjecti let
me farther say, that I knew Mr. Ritner well
long before ho was known in political life,
and for sterling good sense, unquestionable
veracity, and goodness of heart,no man stood
higher in the . neighborhood. Ho was al
ways considered as possessing mental pow
ers of a high grade.
These statements I make, not because I
am a political partizan of Mr. Ritner. I
intend, however, to vote for him, not be-,
cause he is a Democrat—not because 'he : is
an Anti-Mason—but because I know him to
be an honest competent man, who will make
the best Governor Pennsylvania has had
since the days of Judge M'Kean. , ,

and spoken in a voice that cannot be mis
taken as to the character of her principles—
and the determination of the vast majority
of the freemen who reside within her limits.
IN THE CITY THE WHIGS HAVE CARRIED
EVERY WARD! —an event that has not oc
curred before for many years. It will be
perceived that their aggregate majority is
2471 votes, and it must be observed that in
several of the wards the friends of Mr. Miih
lenborg and those of Governor Wolf united
in the support of the same tickets for Ins
pectors. As they will support distinct
tickets for !;overnor, on the 2nd Tuesday
of this month, we may safely calculate that
RI I IVER'S majority over Wolf, in the
city alone, will be 3000 votes!
We have also carried six OUT OF SEVEN
WARDS OF THE NORTHERN LIBERTIES!
The aggregate Whig majority in that dis-
trict is ;354 votes.
The intelligence from Spring Garden is
also of the most favourable V.l!aracter. In
the first ward alone, our majority over Wolf
is 163 votes.
In Moyamensing, the friends of Mr. Mull.

Wolf has triumphed no whore but in South.

Inspector and assessors have carried in
every Ward in Harrisburg. This is the
first time the friends of Ritner have ever
carried in the Borouoh.
FIVE HUNDRED and TEN Votes
have been polled, and the Ritner Inspectors
were elected by a majority of 95 votes.

prrty. Neither have we any objection to the Editor
of the Sentinel choosing his owu political course; but
when we find him professing one thing:and practicing
another, FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECEPTION, we think.
it right to unmask the deceiver, and expose his ter
giversation and insincerity, as the conductor of a pub
lic journal, to the public.
Mr. Harper, like a true Brother of the Cable-tow,
could not close his apology without putting in a word
in behalf of Masonry! He says—
"As to the hacknied and stale charge of
being sworn to advance a Mason's "polit
ical preferment," in preference to anolber
who is not a Mason, it is scarcely necessa
ry to make a remark; we presume that but
few mon, with the evidence before them to
the contrary, have any belief in
- the con
stantly reiterated charge."
We ask Mr. Harper, where is his evidence to the
contrary? We call on him to produce it. Let us have
no, shuffling or equivocating. You have courted the
dilemma yourself,by an assertion which you knew to
be UNFOUNDED and urvratrc. We call on you to sus
tain it, by producing your Evidence to the contrary.
We have seen none, save the assertion of Mr. Har
per and kindred spirits. Is it to be found in the hack
mg out of Masons from all investigation whenever au
opportunity is presented of disproving the aforesaid
and other charges, as in the recent case ofStevens vs.
Lefever? 'We pause for a reply.
0::rBy printed bills stuck up in different
directions, we understand that the purely
disinterested followers of Parson Mullen
berg are to hold forth at York Springs on
Friday next! The bills notify, that that a
miable youth, the Junior Editor of a smut
machine in York Street—together with that
honest and conscientious betrayer of a confi
der), ial letter, are among those who are to
"address" and enlighten the Republican
Freemen of that purely Republican portion
of Adams county! God bless the country
when such agents are to be sent to insult and
tell honest men what measures and men they
