Every patriotic eye must see, and every patriot heart • must bleed over these precursory symptoms of the speedy overthrow and . destruction of re publican' constitutional liberty. And yet in thtie portentous evils we only see exemplified Itte principles and the practices of the lodge. • IT establishes tribunals unknown to the law to try unheard ofcrimes. and inflicts punishments, • • • even unto deatliamon whomsoever IT adjudges ‘' Wherein is rr more justifiable, or More entitled to the protection or sympathy public, than the Vicksburg murderers, the convent incendiaries, or the ruffian mobs ofltaltimorei The lodge, even more than those disorganizing and detestahle -combinations, she ws its consciousness of wick "'';:_ ,coneys by concealing its deeds under the dark nest: co night, and the thick evil of oath bound - 'Secrecy. The L ppison of this deadly serpent seems to be infused into almost every artery and vein of our.-national and state governmentS. The .. Chief Magistrate of the Union makes all the forms-of government bend to ors will; con -:`atrues, right or wrong, law and the constitu lion air its understands them, without regard to, the checks and balances and emending branches established by the constitution. And Why:nhusilit he not? tic is a high adhering ,Insrnini - tuid is taught by his Masonic principles; - ssaY,'ls hound by Isis Masonic oaths, to subject the public 'will and public laws to a secret self _ :::eontroling power. You and your unshackled Aeti-Masonic brethren can and ought to re shit such principles. But with what proprie ty,with what consistency, can adhering Ma : NOBS, of any party, condemn them? It is the same doctrine which they learn in the lodge ind.defend in public whenever they oppose ,Anti-Masons. The l'ust Master General has lately inform ; ', p ert the public in an official publication, of the ‘• principles held by the administration, and by which the people are allowed to govern their own conduct. "WE own(soys he) AN OBLIGA TION TO TIIE, LAWS, BUT • HIGHER ONE TO TIIE , . - .COMMUNITY IN WI/ICII WE LIFE." This is the •, reverse-of the Anti-Masonic doctrine that pro claims the "SUPREMACY OF TIRE LAWS." THIS • teaches the supremacy of a "lIIGIIER OBLIGA TION!' If this “nierisn OBLIGATION " 'lath pre vail, who is to jiidge .of it? 'the law points flit no tribunal; for it itrabove the law. Who is to direct the mode by which this onionen eauciaTion" is to be executed? The law can not, for it is "nimiart" than the law. It follows, from this dangerous doctrine, that every man in the community is constituted' the judge of Ins own and his neighbor's conduct, without any fiXed rule or tribunal to define their merits, their crinies, or their punishments. Let this base doctrine be approved and become the •. prevailing rule of action, among our citizens; let every town and village become a Vicksburg, a Charleston or a Baltimore, and every knot of • men, every seperate community, from the At lantic to the Rocky Mountains will become bloody desolating tyrants, of cringing, stiffer. ing slaves. The will of the strongest ruffian will control his fellow ruffian. The outlaw will have equal right to judge of this "uronsa OBLIGATION with the peaceful citizen. The malefactor will be as meritorious as the virtu ous-man, who by adopting such principles and such practices himself becomesa felon. Those . ‘BESPECTA BLS PLANTERS," as they are called, who, in Mississippi and Illinois, and other Southern States, have constituted themselves into judges and executioners of gamblers and political incendiaries, are not only murderers, btit far worse than murderers; for in their law less execution .of worthless vagabonds, they Lave pierced the vitals of the Constitution, the very heart of Liberty! Willis revolutionary and anarchical doctrine should be reduced to general practice, our peo ple will soon seek relief from the intolerable cruelty and uncertainty of a thousand tyrants, in the calm, settled repose of a single despot. And yet this appalling doctrine, which threat ens to blot out the sun of Freedom, is but the :vatic adoption of the once secret but now well ascertained and recognized principles of the lodge. IT disregards the municipal law, and decides-when this "imam- OBLIGATION" exists. Fr executes untried and uncondemned citizens, when it supposes this "1110IIER oat!- , NATION " requires it. Suppose the same creed Were adopted by Anti-Masons, what would be • the consequence? They have seen an inno. cent human being wantonly murdered; his wife 'Made a. widow and his children orphans, in o . bedience to and by members of art affiliated as sociation extending throughout our - Union.— The murderers and their accomplices are well known. heir just fate is apparent to all.— The law cannot and does not reach them.— . Shall Anti-Masons rise, in virtuous indignation, level every lodge in the Union to the ground, and bang the immediate offenders us they rich 7 ly melt? The secret principles of the lodge, and the public principles of our Masonic gov . ernment would warrant it; and they at least could not complain of the act. But those Ma sonic principles are the seeds of tyranny, the •. rout of terror and of bloddslied planted by the • Fatter of Evil. Let them be shunned by every friend of his country, every lover of human race. But Anti-Masonry is said to be persecuting •. and proscriptive; and many of our citizens as sign this as a reason why they refuse to co.op. 'crate with us. If Masonry .be an evil, it must • be admitted to, be the duty of all those who ,think 50,.t0 use their best efforts forTts sup pression. But how is it to be supposed? Not -by delivering idle, barren phillipics against it. That would bring its opponents into just ridi cute and contempt. It can be effected only :_.by penal prohibitory laws. But such laws can • neither be enacted nor executed until you elect officers and legislature who acknowledge :.both the evil of Masonry and the justice of leg. - -,lslative prohibition. Hence not only the jus ties but necessity of political, not merely moral .Anti-Masonry. PEESECUTION! Have mot all our - means been legal and constitutional?

And they frequently de nounce us as obstinate, head-strong. and pro scriptive, when we decline it; and in revenge many of them go over and become incorpora ted with their and our opponents. Let its in• quire whether THEY or we. have reason on our side. If the fault is with us. let its abandon it. For our whole political course should be steer ed by the helm patriotism. We will suppose that the negotiating parties agree in all things hut opposition to Masonry. One party be lieves Masonry to be an evil paramount to all others which infest our republic. That party cannot without moral treason and the prostitu tion of their own consciences, abandon their opposition to it. Nor aloes the correction of other great evils require it. While they op pose Masonry, they oppose all other - moirpa thins. (lime who see danger in the preten sions of the Executive, will find the most efficient means of defeating them by ,joining Anti Masonry. What should prevent them? The great mass of them say that they are neith er Masons nor Anti-Masons. and while they suppose Masonry to be harmless, they admit it to be trascr.as. If it be merely useless, they would make no sacrifice by abandoning it to its fate, and going with Anti-Masoni to effect other great and desirable objects But it is much to be feared that many of those who pro. fess this doctrine are the secret friends of Ma sonry. Else why do they so bitterly oppose Anti-Masonry; and railer than see it succeed, go over to a party, whose principles they de clare are ruinous to the country? flow often have we been called upon by a highly respec table party to sacrifice our name and organi zation to "NAVE Tam eninioTns" from the despo tism ofJacktioniand And•when we have urged them to join our ranks to effect the same (a mong other) objects, many of those alarmed! patriots have spurned our alliance, and rather than become saviours of their country on any other than their own terms, joined the very ranks of him whom they called a tyrant? And yet wen men avow that they are not influenced by Masonry! Many of our own honest friends have been deceived by this urgent and plausi• ble appeal, and sunk their own name and prin ciples, without a single compensating advan tage to themselves or their country. It cannot be denied that many of our nerveless, vacilla ting, ambitious friends, unwilling to wait the slow success of trutli,.have cast away this an chor of their faith, and sought out new inven tions and strange company to rise themselves more speedily to power. And what if their candidates should thus temperately succeed? It would be the triumph of men and not of principles. Much injury too has been done to our cause by many who joined us without know mg, or feeling, or caring for the evils of Ma sonry; who acted with us from a restless hope of preferment; a set of party buccaneers, who would enlist tinder any banner, and march in any ranks for the sake of plunder; gilded politi cal insects, who fluttered gaily among us in the sunshine of hope, and vanished with the first nipping frost! I know that many refuse to join us out of friendship for adhering Masons, upon whims our principles weigh heavily. They feel great compassion for them, without reflecting that they bring the consequences upon their own heads by their obstinate pride and folly. So great is their sympathy for their loss of those honors and emoluments, which freemen have a right to withhold or bestow, that they cannot hear the wailings• of the orphan children, the widowed wife, or the dying screams of the mur dered Morgan! Let no proud member of the secret aristocracy sneer at the frequent mention of THAT name, in the hearing of freemen. I know it is the fashion to answer their fellow citizens with scoff's. The culprit, for lack of better answer, often sneers with affected dis dain while his knees smite together with con scious guilt. The name and tragic fate of that martyred victim, whose life pointed out and whose death uncovered the heaving volcano on which we stood, cannot and ought not to be for gotten; or, to that unhallowed institution, for given, by shuddering christian and indignant freemen, while the vast Niagara rolls and tour murs above his unburied corpse! Sympathy for obstinate, ADHEHING Masons! Change your sick ly pity into christian advice. Urge them to come oat and aid us in condemning and over throwing the grim Idol whose cannibal jaws are reeking end defiled with the crushed bones and spirting gore of immortal men? Mr. president:—We have but one cause of regret in the joy of our approaching success. Where are many of those great men of another state—those early apostles of Anti-Masonry— from whose eloquent lips fell denunciations up• on the unholy institution, like burning thunder bolts? They are dead—dead to Anti-Masonry, to principles and their country. Why is a Hush's tongue silent and his pen idle in this sacred cause? Had they been prompted by honest, sincere conviction, and possessed the self de nying patriotism which adorns the truly great; and that enduring fortitude which laughs at dan• ger and defeat; instead of being the scorn of our fides and the pity of our friends, their talents, their learning and their characters would have entitled them to march in the front ranks of that triumphant procession of the bold and the free, which shall era long be held to celebrate the victory of the people in the disenthralment of this gre a t a nd patriotic State. Then, I trust, malty of you will again meet together to wit ness, and exercise, and inculcate, towards a prostrate foe, that liberal and forebearing mag nanimity which is the characteristic of virtuous victors. CONVENTION QUESTION For the Star & Banner. TO THE PEOPLE OF TUE Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. f:lsz the second Tuesday in October, 1815, (this year), a vote is to be taken 'Tor a Convention," and "Against a Convention," to alter the Constitution of the State of Penn sylvania. On this most important of all political questions, every Citizen should vote. I am . free to confess, that such are my fears of a Convention, at this time, that if I were sick in my bed, I should consider it a duty, to my large family of children, to be carried to the polls to give my • vote "Against a Convention," I venerate the Sages and Heroes of the Revolution ; and I would let no unhallowed hands tear to pieces the sacred Constitution which they framed. In 1789 the Constitution 61 . the United States went into Operation, end in 1790 the Constitution of Pennsylvania was modelled on that, of the, United Slates and was adopt . . ed. George Washington pr ;•ided over the body which framed the Constitution of the United States. Atha 31pdison, is the on• ly iuniting member of that assembly. Thomas Mifflin, was President of the as sembly which framed our Pennsylvania Constitution. These Constitutions have both been in operation nearly fifty years, nod in all that time have worked together fig good—good to the United States—good to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and good to the People. Nobody has been fool enough, or wicked enough, to propose a Convention to alter the Constitution of the United States; but restless, mischievous and ambitions men have, for thirty years, been trying to get together a Convention to tear our Constitution to pieces and make a new One. In 1805, the question of a "Convention," or "No Convention," was first submitted to the People of Pennsylvania, and the People ratified the Constitution, by giving a ma jority of Five Thousand against a Conven tion. Twenty years alter that vote, that is in the year 1825, the question of a "Con- Veniion" or "No Convention," was again submitted to a vote of the People, and the People again ratified and confirmed the Constitution by a majority, three times as great as that which had been given in 1805. The majority against a Convention in 1825, was 15,343. Thus, after thirty five years experience, a very large majori ty of the voters of Pennsylvania, declared themselves well satisfied with the Constitu tion, and voted against a call of a Conven tion. Wicked and reckless men. however, who desire to uproot the very titles by which people hold their lands, and scramble up into high places for their own profit; these men, have teased and worried the General Assembly into the passage of a law by which a vote is again to be taken, at the next General Election, whether a Conven tion shall, or shall not, be called, to make a new Constitation, and destroy the present Constitution, under which the State has flourished, and the people have lived happy and grown rich. Is this a time to call a Convention? when political strife pervades the State—when riots disgrace our Cities, and insurrection end murder agitate and alarm our Southern States? I know whet the People of Penn sylvania think. They think that their rights are protected and their property is protected by the present Constitution, and they are well contented with it. It is the idle, the Iturbulent and the ambitious who thus dis turb and disquiet us. All that is wanted is, for those who know and feel the blessings dour Constitution, to turn .out on the day of election, to do their - duty, and vote to put the disorganizers down and keep them down. I know very well how the honest and industrious—the peace-loving and pro perty-holding portion of the community will vote. They will not give up that which they know to be good—that under which their country and themselves have prosper ed, to be . cut up, and to get they know not what worthless Thing in placer Of that Con stitution which was framed'by the Men w the Revolution. All lam anxious about is to get the voters out. Let them but come to the Election Ground and vote, and the day after they may say "All's well! the Constitution is safii and so is my Property; and so are my. Rights, all, all are safe un der the protection of the Constitution which was made by the Men of '76." I will insert at the foot of this, the names of some of the Great and good Men who made, and whose names are signed to our Constitution. It may not be thought improper here to remark, that among the following are the names of four Governors of Pennsylvania, of two Secretaries of the Treasury, and a Secretary of State of the United States, and of many eminent Judges and highly distin guished Lawyers. They and their fellow labourers made a good Constitution, and experience has proved it good, and ICA us have good sense enough to go to the Polls, and vote for its continuance.

We have just conversed with a gen tleman who has returned from exploring eight or ten adjacent counties; and he re presents the public sentiment to be,so deci dedly favorable to Mr. Ritner, that his elec tion by a LARGE MAJORITY, is placed beyond a doubt. The Alexandria Gazette says—" The war between the Penrisylvania Wolves and Mules is, to us, the most uninteresting contest we ever witnessed. Both parties seem to be so utterly worthless, as not even to excite an emotion of preference or partiality. It is probable, and that reflection alone gives us consolation,that by the time the fight is over, like the Kilkenny cats, there will be nothing left of the combatants bUt their tails." 10-We despise the custom of adrertising.those wo men who, through ill- treattneut or otherwise, are compelled to leave their homes and seek shelter un der the protection of those who are more Christianly disposcd than those booed to gere„honqr and protect' „them. We publish no such notices. For the sake of a pitiful dollar we cannot consent to do that which car ries disgrace and mortification into helpless, unotren,- ding circles. We always suspected that the man who could thus act was incapable,either through ignorance or base motives, of appreciating the injury inflicted.

SECRET SOCIETIES. We publish today the Deposition ofias. A. Shedd, given in the trial of Lefever, fOr a libel on 'l'. Stevens,Esq. Vl'e should like to publish all the evidence in the case; its extensive ; length, however, renders it no. cessary, only to give occasional extracts. We ask nil those who claim to be honora ble men, and who do riot wish to be ncces sikry to the "trained forces of masonry," to read and reflect. The evidence.here, is too overwhelming to admit of equivocation; it comes in the tnttjesty of immaculate truth, and must bury every vestige of scepticism as to the power of their oath bound society— NONE UNDER OATH dare deny, that their banner bore the bloody insigna of "DEATH to the man who would expose a brother, even if guilty of MURDER or TREASON." Is not the fact that some, even in our own county, who claim to be honorable excep tions to the trained forces of Masonry, are at this moment opposing the election of Jo seph Ritner, and assigning as the reason that they do not like Anti-Masonry; thus giving a tacit acknowledgement that they know him to be the best man. Is not this fact, we say evidence to the unprejudiced, that THEY ARE NOT"honorable exceptions," —or if they are not trained, that they fol. low in the footsteps of those who aro. If it does not prove this; we fearlessly ask them to come out over their signatures and deny that the oaths of the institution require the keeping of all secrets, MURDER AND TREASON NOT EXCEPTED. Let them do this we say, if they dare! If they dare not, it will give us more evidence that the charges are true. .1f - they DARE, it will at once give the brand of falsehood to previous assertions, that they were excep tions—and the people can themselves judge what effect training will have upon honor a ble men. . It is a fearful matter, to Republican free men, that the most guilty and bloody deeds can be communicated to respectable and honorable men, as a "MASONIC SE. CRET," and they will not expose it; may not our country's hopes, her prospects, and her institutions, all be swallowed up in this dark pool of infamy?—iftheir last oath binds them to join in that issue. If you feel and know these things; let every one lend his strength, to heave, the already shattered fa- bric down to its merited oblivion—let its very name be so obliterated from the monu ment of coming tune, that after ages, shall only know that such a thing "WAS."

NEWS FROM TILE WEST.-Our informa tion from the Western Counties is decided and unequivocal, in relation to the compliito occupancy of the political ground in that quarter by the two candidates, Ritner and Wolf; who exclusively divide the attention of the People between them —Mr. Rimer being the fitvorite of the West, who will bring with him to the mountains at least 20,000 majority over George Wolf. This information is corroborated by all the im partial friends of Wolf, such as drovers, merchants, farmers, and travellers;—nor is at all surprising that Mr• Muhlenberg should not have taken root in the Western Coun ties, as parties were divided off between .

DEAR Sin—l received a notice last evening of a meeting to be held at New Oxford on the 7th instant, with an ivitat!on to attend. Nothing could give the snore pleasure than to meet my Adams county friends at the thne and place mentioned; but thu extreme ill health of the companion of my bosom, forbids the idea at present. But although absent, permit me to say,that I feel a particular friendship for the Citizens of Adams for their kindness in agreeing to support me for Senator; and hope,if elected, I shall prove myself worthy of their confidence. I have other causes of friendship for them. I once had the honor of serving with MANY OF TIIAM, as VOLUNTEER, IN COL COREAN'S BATTA LION, ON THE MEMORABLE 12TH OF SEP TEMBER, 1814, AT BALTIMORE. I belonged to Capt. Cot.vzx's Company, and was attached to dobean's Battalion. My duty often brought me in •contact with Officers and Men, and I always found. them(as CitizeU Soldiers should be) affable, humane, generous and brave. Should any of the survivors of that Battalion be present at your meeting, tell them that although the frost of 21 winters (since our cam paign)may have,in some measure,cooled our passions, still the LOVE OF COUNTRY is as warm in my heart as on the day we took up our lino of march for Baltimore,(about 3 days after the burning of Wash ington City,) one hundred and fifty strong—rough as the black Jacks of our native Barrens and as hardy as the pine knots of our river hills. Hoping there may be many of my Fellow-Volun teers still in existence, and that they may be as rea dy to oppose the EXTRAVAGANCE of the party now in power, by a resort to the Ballot Boxes, as they were to oppose the invaders dour soil,---and that nll good citizens may see the necessity of supporting the cause of RI rNFAI AND REFORM, in prefer ence to all others—although backed by Office-holders; Secret Societies, &c., I remain, with sentiments of sincere regard, the public's Humble Servant, JAMES McCONKEY. MUDDLE'S STZVEHS, Esq Gettysburg. ASSEMBLY, Thaddeus Stevens, Esq. James McSherry, Esq. • COMMISSIONER GEORGE WILL, Esq. AUDITOR, ALLEN ROBINETTE. DIRECTOR OF THE POOR, QV INTI N ARMSTRONG.

[From the York Republican.] INSPECTOR'S ELECTION. All the information which has come to hand on the subject of these elections is highly encouraging to the democratic re form party. In both win ds ofthis Borough, the amalgamationists were completely rout ed; in South ward, where they thought themselves sure of success, the democratic reform ticket succeeded by nearly 80 ma jority; in North ward, where they thought their chance good, they were over-thrown by 45 votes. In this election district, com posed of seven polls, we succeeded in six, having carried two wards, Manchester, W est Manchester, first time; Spring-garden, first time; and Conowago, leaving the arnalga mationists only little York township. We also succeeded in Fairview,Franklin, Wash ington, Hanover, Springfield, Hopewell, Fawn, Chanceford,-Lower Chanceford, and Windsor townships and Newbury and 'War rington were divided. Our friends have done well—they have a sure opportunity of doing fir better on Tuesday next, for they have on their side not only the influence of moral but of phNsical superiority. News from other parts of the State, is e. (pally encouraging. In Ilauntsautio,where 1F332 Wolf had 117 majority, Ritner In spectors have been elected in both wards, by large majorities, and we gained 14 out of 16 Inspectors in Dauphin County. Hit ner's majority there will not be less than 1500. In PHILADELPHIA the Whitrs carried every ward by au aggregate majority over Wolf of 2950—over Muhlenberg 32A4 over both united,2l96 votes! In the Nonni. ERN LIBERTIES, they also carried six wards out of seven, by an aggregate majority over Wolf of 892—over both Wolf and Muhly, of 168 votes. They were also victorious in Spring-Garden, Germantown, Blockley, Bristol, and in Bucks County. In CUMBERLAND COUNTY, the friends of Ritner and Reform cart icd gout of 13 dis tricts heard from, and divided another. In 1822 Wolf had 500 majority - in Cumberland; thi. year Ritner will go a-head at least that much. In EASTON, the former residence of Wolf, where in 1832 he had a majority 0f . 251 votes, the Rit ne r men succeeded with 55 majority on Friday last; and in Forks and Williams townships, Northampton county, where Wolf formerly had large majorities, the friends of reform are now successful. In the' district that votes in LEBANON, the Ritnerites have a majority of more than two to one; m 1832, Wolf had nearly the same majority. Almost all the townships m Lebanon county have gone for Ritner. In LANCASTEtt COUNTY the Ritner men carried 31 out of 87 districts. The fiirmer will have 3000 majority in that powerful county. From GErrysavno we learn that the Ritner Inspect( r was elected. The vote stood Rif ner 99—Wolf67—Mublenberg 50. From WEsTmonnLArdn, a county which gave Wolf 1000 majority in 1832, we un derstand that m one township, the only one reported, where Wolf had more than three tio one in 1832 ; the friends of Ritner are now successful. A tr,ropENY COUNTY has done gloriously. In Pittsburg we carried three wards out of four; in Allegheny borough our ticket is 12 n-head, and we have carried nearly every township in the county. The information from Huvrusnieri, U• NION, JUNIATA, PERRY and SCHUYLKILL is most encouraging. We have succeeded in many townships by increased majorities, and carried several where Wolf was victo rious in 1832. Out of 17 districts heard from in CHES TER COUNTY, we have carried 13 against the Wolves and 111Alies united. Out of 12 districts heard from, the friends of Hither carried 8 in MONTGOMERY COUN TY; our majority in NoanisrowN was 37. BUCKS has given us 11 out of 14 districts; Muhlenberg 3; Wolf, none! True Democ racy is triumphant! From the WaPhington Reporter. THE VOICE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. INSPECTORS ELECTIO2V. We rested with entire confidence upon the result of the election in this county, to disprove the statements contained in the cir cular of the Wolf Committee of Vigilance for this borough, and have not been disap pointed. They published to the world that, "at a meeting of this Committee on the 17th inst. (August) it was ascertained from the number of voters who had declared them within the borough, that Mr. Wolf will undoubtedly have a plurality of votes;" and as to the county they said, "we are cal culating col f fidently upon a majority in this county over both the other candidates."-- Now for the proof. In this borough' 244 votes were polled, Of which James Reed the A nti- Magonic can didate for Inspector received 146, and Ar chibald Kerr, the Wolf candidate 9;3 votes. Ilituer's Majority in 'the borough in 166:1, was 44; this full it will be 60. Tho follow;ng is the result in the differ ent town-hips of the counts,. Arnwell—Enoch Baker (Bauer) elected. 13uffalo-111urtiu Ely, do. do. TWO TO ONE. Cceil— The Ritner Inspector elected I y a unani mous vote—the Wolf men being scared off by the great turd out of Anti-Masonic voters. Canton—John) Brownlee (Either) elected by a L.‘. g e majority: - Carroll—The niftier Inspector elected by a hand some majority. - Chartiers-I.nac fiddle and John flays, the two Ritner Inspectors elected —no apposition worth men tioning. Cannonsburgh—James McCullough (Ritner) eke ted by a majority of 17 votes. Donegal—Robert M'Neil (niftier) elected by 46 majority. East Bethlehem—Andrew 'Brown (Rilner) elected West do. The Ritner Inspector elected. Nottingham— do. do. Alountpleasant —John Reed (Ritner) elected. Moh•is—Sample Sweney (Rimer) elected. East Finley—The Rimer inspector elected by a majnrity of 7 votes.

West Finley— do. do. do. • Peters— do do. do. South Strabane—Wm. Crouch (Wolf) elected by 10 of a majority—no contest, as 27 rotes, and, more than half of the Rituer votes, were giVen for the per son elected, before any opposition candidate was nom inated. North Strabane—The Wolf'lnspector elected, Futio•sv LI-la—The !tinier Inspector elected. In the above 23 townships 24 Ritner Inspectors arc elected, and 2 Wolf tinipectors. Four townships are yet to be heard from, vrt,—Pike Run, Smith, Robin son, and Cross Creek, which II probably stand 3 Wolf and I Ritner In Buffalo, Mc. Ritner's own township, they kept apparently quiet in order to lull the Anti-Masons asleep, but secretly visited every vote and so arranged matters as to muster all their forces towards the evening, and yet they were de feated two to one. We have all along calculated on at. least SOO of a majority for Ritnor over Wolf, but the triumphant success we have met with in the inspectors election encourages' us to expect somewhere about 1200 of a 'majority. CU- In addition to the scores of Renunciations of Mulilie nad Wolf-ism published in our last, we give to-day a few mere. It will be seen that within a few days many have enrolled themselves under the pure banner of the "Supremacy of the Laws"—and on Tuesday next THOUSANDS of other's will depo sit their votes for the OLD FARMER! Now's the time for those on the fence to jump into tho BIG patch! ake, room for the I! eovie! From the York Republican of Wednesday last. We have seen our names in the York Gazette of Tuesday last as part of aconitnit,, tee of vigilance to further the cause of Wolf or Muldenberg. We certify.. that our names have been so used without our knowl edge or consent, and therefore we can do nothing for then'. We are the tliends of "Rttnor and Reform."

I intend to go with the free and untrammelled democracy of the state in supporting JOSEPII RITNER. His cause and the people's cause are one, and for that reason the people will support him. Yours very respectfully, CONRAD BRUBACHER, Having seen, with no small degree of surprise in, the Muhlenberg paper of last •week, that my name is among the number of those who are called a committee of vigil ance for Hellain township, I take the earli est opportunity to correct the impression that may be thus produced. Having been actively engaged in the sup port of JOSEPH RITNER for several years • past, it seems to me that this use of my name, so unauthorized, indicates, in the editor, a large amount of ignorance, or an unusual degree of impudence. Neither my counte nance nor vote shall ever be given to the plunderers of the public, or a swarm of half-famished.office-hunters, whether they be marshalled under the worn-out Democ racy of George NVolrs name, or the cast-off pontificals of Henry . A. Muhlenherg. JACOB REI MAN. We concur in the above. JOSEPH RUBY, GEORGE GOLIN, Wrightsville, York Co Sept. 28, 1835. Great 'Meeting at the Teo at Ox.-c0r.3.1. A very large and respectable meeting of the friends of JOSEPII . RITNER and the "SU PREMACY OF THE LAWS," was held at the house of Phil; p fleagy Esq. in New-Oxford, on NV ednesday the 7th of October inst.— Alter a few remarks by Mr. MiSitEttliv, the meeting was organized by appointing the following officers. President—John Hersh; - Vice-Presidents—David Slagle, Dan iel Diehl, Jacob Young,4- John Lauch,sen. Secretaries—John L. Noel, James Col gan, Samuel Thron, and F. W. Kceliler. After some preliminary remarks by Dr. M. D. G. PFEIFFER, the following resolu tions were offered,and unanimously adopted: Resolved,That we view with the deepest sorrow the sad change in the financial con.. cerns of our dearly beloved State. TWelve years ago, the boast of this Union, and now, with a public debt ofupwards of TWENTY rirteltnre, the •Illechaitte dfrt FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS— enough to discourage the most euterprizing among our citizens. Resolved, That we can, after n candid in. quiry. into the causes, which have produc ed this state of things, find no others, but the favouritism, exercised by nn oath-bound, selfish secret society, and the greediness and imprudence of their leaders, who, one and all, "the more they have got, the more they want!" Resolved, That we thorecne cannot sup port George Wolf, because he is one of the adhering members of the said secret society, holding one of their highest offices, viz: that of Deputy Grand Master, and, true to his Masonic Obligations has sett/ANDERE!) MIL LIONS OF TILE REVENUE, the hard earnings of the honest and imfustrious farm er and mechanic, in order to fatten the pur sesofhis hungry Masonic bretheru and their pliant MO'S. Resolrefl, That we cannot 'support Hen ry A. illohlenberg, because he, as well us he whole party that supports him,hra ve been, till of lute, tho faithful hrethern of %% T olland his party—implicated in, and accessary to all the political crimes, committed by,the lat ter—and moreover have sold themselves and their interest to -Martin van Buren and his gang of New-York. Bank-speculating politi cans. Ilesn7red , That we cannot FUppOrt Hen ry A. Mali!enberg, because he is a RENE, GADE PRIEST, us late ns 1826 acting President of the Lutheran Synod; and only leaving the Pulpit and forsaking the service of our and his Savioar when he seen a chance lo worship his Idols Pride and Illananon-- , by getting a seat in Congress— a 'conduct, which we will not sanction or en courage by fostering the accomplishment of his unholy schemes in voting fir him Resolred ;Flint we will ~with ull our might, and by all honorable means in our power, support the election of JOSEPH RITNER fin. Governor— Because, Lie is a self taught man, a Farmer like ourselves and iA, by hare industry and hard labor,"raited himself from pov- city to competency in life. Because, Be has, as a true Republican and pure lhonociat, always been ready, in war and-In pence, to serve his country, no matter how high or low the station; and when the time of service was ended, has returned to his plough for a maintain iince for himself and his family. Because, He, knowing that true democracy consists in equal rights to all men, and .no preference shown as according to pub lic merit and talents, has :been a stead fast opposer to a society, whiel: will give the preference to the cable towed broth , erhood, help to extricate the same out of their difficulties, "right or wrong." Because, He has not been, like Henry A. illublenberg, and his present party, ac ceosary to the spendthrift administration of Governor Wolf and the !rand of part of his Ocfn:p. holders, and therefore will not obstruct, but open the path for inquiry into, and punishment of their offen:.es. • Resolved, That we go for Principles and not for Men=—and therefore will support the WHOLE OF OUR TICKET; well knowing, that no wagon can move, if we hitch one horse before and one behind, and that we would betray the public interest, if by The ballot box we_ should be ruled by pri vate pique or dislike. -By request, T. G. Il 13111 LY, Esq. from York, addressed the !meth - ig in an eloquent manner, and was followed by 3'. STEVENS, Esq.. Both gentlemen were listened to with great attention.

Wo repeal, that the FORGER of 1932 is abroad, ready to do the same thing now that he did at the lait Gubernatorial election, and for which ho received ati office.
