Oz - The race of Old .ldmnsf IN pursuance of the call of the County Committee, a very large and respectable meeting of the Democratic Anti-Masonic Republicansol Adams was held in the Court House in the borough of Gettysburg, on Monday evening,' November 23, 1835. Mr. ALLEN ROBINETTE was called to the Chair; JOSEPH CARL, Esq. and Dr. M. D. G. PreirrEn,chosen Vice Presidents; and Maj. John Wolford, Geo. Will, Esq. .Mr. John Mickley, Jr. and Mr. James Mc- Cosh, Jr. appointed Secretaries. After the object of the meeting was sta ted, a Committee, consisting of Daniel M. Smyser, Robert Malheriny. Jacob Cassatt, John Dickson and Jar's Robinette, Esqrs. was appointed to nominate Delegates to Harrisburg and report resolutions expres sive of the sentiments of the Anti. Masons of Adams—who retired for _that purpose. During titeabsence of the Committee,the meeting was addressed by THADDEUS STE VENS, Eiq. in his usual able, eloquent and thrilling style on the subject of an Investi gation of Masr'nry by the Legislatureat its approaching Session. He was listened to with mach attention by the large concourse offreemen from the country, and at the con clusion of the meeting many recorded their names in favor of suave measure. The Committee having returned to the meeting, the following resolutions were read and after appropriate, sound and just views, expressed in freemen's voices, by Messrs. STEVENS and CessATT, unanimous- Iy adopted: Resolved, That THADDEUS STE VENS, JAMES McSHERRY and JA COB CASSATT, Esqra. be and they are hereby appointed Delegates to represent A dams County in the Democratic Anti-Ma sonic State Convention, to be held at liar risburg, on the 14th of December next, with full power to fill any vacancies that may oc cur in their body. Resolved, That the said Delegates be re quested and instructed to , give their votes and use their influence in favor of a Nation al Anti-Masonic Convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States— and to'vote for no persons to represent this State in said Convention, nor as Electors of President and Vice President, BUT SOUND POLITICAL ANTI-MAsolls, who are opposed to all alliances and amalz fanuations involv ing the least sacrifice of the essential prin ciples of Anti-Masonry. Resolved, That we entirely disapprove of, and most heartily denounce the suicidal policy of merging our party and our cause in a mere personal conte,t or personal par ty; because we consider the vindication and maintainance of the great principle of politi cal Anti-Masonry as of infinitely more mo ment, than the elevation or prostration of any individual; because all experience has shown that such associations are ever fatal to those principles, by destroying public con fidence in tt.ose who profess theni; and be cause such a course is a virtual surrender of all the objects of our politic@ organization. Resolved, That we view with the deepest regret and astonishment, the course that is now being pursued by some who have here tofore been members ofour party and acted with us, but who now, in the hour of victo ry and triumph, have forsworn their allegi ance and are endeavoring toSeduce our par ty into a personalcontest on personal grounds m supeort of one who has most emphatically condemned our cause and denounced our principles. Resolved, That in the recent glorious vie tory achieved by the Anti-Masons of Penn so far from seeing any thing to lead RR to a betrayal or abandonment of our cause, we have the most cheering encour agement,to "PERSEVERE," turning neither to the sight band nor to the left, but looking isfeadily forward to the glorious goal of our holm and our wishes. itssolied, That these proceedings be the officers of the meeting and in all the pa(tersin the county, in the Philadelphia "Sun," and Harrisburg "Telegraph."

IN pursuance dill? call by the Standing Committee, a large and respectable number of the Democratic Anti• Masons assembled in the Court-house in "Reading, on Satur day, the 14th inst., at one o'clock, P. M. The object °Me meeting being then sin ted by J. Huffman, Esq. the Chairman of the Standing Committee, in a clear, forcible and powerful address, followed by a motion for the . appointment of WILLIAM Z I EB• ER, Esq. as President of the meeting; which was carried by acclamation. GEORGE ROOT, Esq. and Major ANDREW KEPNER, were appointed Vice Presidents—and Sana &raking and Jahn Allgaier, Secretaries. When, on motion, the following persons, J. Hoffman, C. Troxell, Dr. A. H. Witman, Jacob Row, J. W. Miller, C. Derrick, A. Mengel, W. Hain and F. Egelman, were appointed a committee to prepare Resolu• tions comporting with the object of the ortgi• nal organization of the Anti-Masonic party and its principles; and to express e semi ments of the meeting in such a manner as to prevent its amalgamation with a party of totally opposite and inconsistent principles with those of Democratic Anti-Masonry-1 in order that the policy and utility of its principles may be fairly and fully tested. On motion, the action of the committee being suspended, to enable the meeting to proceed to ballot for Delegates to represent the party in the Anti-Masonic State Con vention on the 14th of December next, at Harrisburg—when the following persons were elected, by an average vote of three to one over their opponents, viz: J. HUFFSI.,N, H. HINKLEY, D. BIEIIER C. F. EGLEMAN, S. BAIITOLET., The Committee on Resolutions, (J. me man, Esq. having declined in consequence of his election as n Delegate, and William Gaul being added,) then reported the hut, Preamble at.d Resolutions through their Chairman, C. Trawl!: which were adopted with scarcely a dissenting voice: Whereas the right of the citizens to as semble in a peaceable manner, for their com mon good, o make known to those vested with the powers of government, their griev anaes,has been solemnly guaranteed by the Constitution of Pennsylvania: And Whtrcas a crisis has arisen in the political affairs and condition of our common country, and particutarty in that of Penn sylvznia, which most emphatically demands the zeal, vigilance, and hearty cooperation of those who are anxious to retrieve the hon or and character of the Commonwealth from Masonic intrigue and Executive mis rule, and to aid and assist the measdres of him, whom the voice of a most triumphant majority of the freemen of Pennsylvania, 1)..!e recently elevated to the Gubernatorial Chair, for the purpose of introducing a sys. tern of retrenchment and reform, and of re storing our free institutions to their pristine purity, in order that the blessings of free government may be preserved and perpetua ted to the remotest posterity: And . Whereas facts, numerous and au- thentie, have demonstrated the existence, in this community, of crimes and dangers. which, upon their first distinct disclosures to honest inquiry, excite equal surprise and solicitude; and which cannot be reflected upon by any mind imbued with genuine self sespect, and a just regard for human rights, without the deepest abhorrence and alarm: • And Whereas Free. masonry is the source of these crimes and dangers— Therefore Resolved, That we deem the Masonic Institution the most dangerous evil in the United States— Because "it imposes on its members oaths and obligations unauthorized by; and incon sistent with the laws of the country:" Because "it binds its members to give a preference to each other, in all things, over the rest of their fellow-citizens:" "To apprize each other of all approach ing danger,whether such dangers arise from the legal prosecution of their own crimes and misdemeanors, or otherwise: "To conceal the Secrets and crimes ofeach ot her,not excepting even murder & treason: "To espouse each other's cause, and, it possible, extricate them from all difficulties, whether they be right or wrong: , "To avenge even unto death, the viola tion ofany of the Masonic oaths, and the be trayal of any, of their secrets:" Because "it is anti-republicamand an in sidious and dangerous enemy to our demo . erotic forms of government: "It creates and sanctionssecret orders and nobility in violation of the spirit of the Con• stilu'ion "It is a regularly organized kingdom within the limits of this Republic, assuming and secretly exercising all the prerogatives ofan independent kingdom: "It secures an undue, because an unmeri ted advantage to the members of the Fra• ternity, over the honest and industrious un• initiated farmer, mechanic and labourer, in all the ordinary transactions of life: "It prefers a corrupt "brother" to honest citizens, in appointments to office: "It prevents the wholesome enactments and due administration of the laws: "It enters and corrupts our Legislative Halls, our Executive affairs, our Courts of Justice. And the,trial by Jury, instead of being the palladium of our rights, it converts into an endue of favoritism and Masonic j fraud: And Because, "its whole tendency is to cherish a hatred of den►ocracy, and a love of nristocr•atic and regal Ibrms and power." "Every motive, therefore,which can prompt the patriot, the philanthropist, and the citi• zon of a free country to action, in support of the rights of man ; and the Supremacy of the Lars," induce us to "PERSEVERE" in our determination to "root out this nox• ious institution by the use of all the peaces• ble, legal, and oonstitutional means in our power." Resolved, That we will endeavour to aid and assist, by all the legal and constitutional means in our power, the ensuing Legislature of Pennsylvania, to investigate the nature, principles and practices of the institution of Free-Masonry; in order that their deeds ()I' iniquity and crime, may be brought to light —nand that such prohibitory statutes may be enacted, as shall prove adequate to the sup pression of the evil. Resolved, That, under the existing state of party manifi.stations, we consider a NA TIONAL ANTI- 51 ASON IC CON VEN TI ON, the most efficacious mode of preserv mg the purity and distinctive principles of Anti-Masonry, from its impending danger of amalgamation and total annihilation. Resolved, That we hail the election of JOSEPH RITNER, as the precursor of a revival of the "blessed spirit" of Anti- Mason• ry throughout the United States; and as a further guarantee of the pure and incorrup tilde democracy of the "key•stone" State. Resolved, That this meeting most ear nestly recommend to the Governor elect, and„the Legislature, the propriety of spee dily displacing the Canal Commissioners, and all others connected ‘• ith the existing wasteful and profligate system of favoritism and corruption; and to supply their places with more honest, industrious and economi cal agents, who will lend their aid and assis tance to a thorough investigation, to tiring the out-going Governor and his Masonic suite, ton speedy "SETTLEMENT" of the THIRTY MILLIONS,for which our farm ers and mechanics are taxed. Resol red, That we will endeavour to im press upen the Governor and Legislature, the propriety and importance of resisting and checking the dangerous and alares'ag practices so freely indulged in, during the late administ ration,of creating Corporations, and granting exclusive privileges, in the na• ture of monopolies—wh ich must ultimately prove the inevitable destruction of the liber ties of the people. Resolved, That we are decidedly and rine quivocally opposed to the creation of any National Banking Institution whatever— inasmuch as it involves the exercise of an extremely doubtful, if not altogether an un constitutional power by the government of the United States; and as having a direct tendency to consolidation. Resolved, That we regard the interfe rence by the Northern incendiaries with the domestic policy of the Southern States, a direct and palpable violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States; and an attempt in disguise by the "base compound of Hartford Convention Federalists and Royal Arch Masons," under the prostituted name orphilanthropy, to de stroy the sovereignties of the Slates; and upon their ruin!,, to establish their - favorite theory of a consolidated despotism. Resolred, That we will neither recognize nor support the claims and pretensions of any individual for the Presidency, unless he honestly and sincerely avows himself in fa vor of the correctness and propriety of the principles of Anti• Masonry. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet. ing, our distinguished and incorruptible fel low citizen, THADDEUS STEVENS, merits the histina gratitude of the friends of equal rights, and the supremacy of the laws, for his untiring zeal and indefatigable devo tion to the cause and principles of Anti-Ma• sonry—and that his tram-cenclant abilities and•pre eminent qualifications as a states- man, render him worthy of the highest sta tion in the gift of a free and virtuous people. Resolved, That this meeting recommend the republication of the able and patriotic letters °Mat illustrious patriot, RICHARD RUSH, containing his masterly and unan- sw•ernble exposition of the nature and evi tendency of the Masonic Institution—as be ing incompatible with the genius ofa repub lican government; end which emphatically gave the death-blow to Masonry in Penney'. Resolved, That we invite every citizen who is attached to democratic principles to join our party to aid and assist in carrying out the leading and fundamental principles of true democracy as declared in the forego ing Preamble and Resolutions. Resolved, That the delegates hereby-ap pointed to represent the Democratic Anti- Masonic Party of this county in the Anti- Masonic State Convention, to be held at liar- risburg on the 14th 'Of December next, be invested with power to fill any vacancy that may happen in their number. Resolved, That the proceedings hereof be signed by the officers, and published in the Berks County Eagle, Philadelphia Sun, Democratic Fleralil,Lancaster fierald,Penn• sylvania Telegraph. Gettysburg Star, and other Democratic Journals friendly to the cause of equal rights. WILLIAM ZIEBER, President. GEORGE ROOT, Vice Pres i ts. ANDREW KEPNER, Samuel Bernhart, • Secretaries.

As the time appointed for the meeting of the A ntimasonic State Convention approach es, the subject of the Presidency increases in interest. We have already presented our own views upon the subject, and shall now endeavor to furnish our readers with a brief abstract of the sentimentsof some of the lead. ing Anti-Masonic journals ofthe State in ref erence to the same question. We shall be- gin with the Pittsburg Times, because we have always entertained the greatest respect for the opinions of its able and accomplished editor, although we have on one or two oc casions differed slightly in opinion with him in reference to the proper course to be pur sued by our party in the approaching Presi dential contest. After alluding to the nomi nation of the Hon. EDWARD EvEncrr, as a suitable candidate for the Presidency by the Examiner and Herald, the Times remarks that Mr. E. is "second to no man in the Union, considered in reference to his splen did talents, his profourd learning, his flied ! nating power as an orator, his sagacity as a statesman, and his spotless character as a politician and a man. He has had much of the best kind of experience in political life, to give him a standing before the public, and a knowledge of the duties of the high station in question; and his undisguised ad hesion to the great principles for which we stand organized, entitles . him to our faithful and perpetual regard. As a name worthy to be associated with that of Everett, in the I circle ofgenius, and on the path of immor tality, is our own great champion of the Key. Stone State, ' ILIA 1)1)V:fa . STEVENS. The views of the Herald are entitled to the most serious consideration. .ele same is propo sod in the Sun. Others - have prOposed Granger and Stevens, which would be a very strong and respectable ticket. After all, no ticket could 'be so acceptable to the Anti- Masons oft his State rig JidurQuincY Adams and AMOR Ellmaker, if they would accept a nomination." The Washington Reporter says—“We shall supper: the . candidate that may he nominated by the Anti Masonic party, be lieving that they will make such a nomina tion as will result in the public geed,and the general welfare 7 —that they will be actuated by principles of democracy and equality, and believing so, we shall use every !audit. ' ble . exertion to secure his election." The Gettysburg Star—a paper after our own heart—in a long and well written arti cle, arrives at the conclusion that "no course is left but a National Convention, whose nomination shall he imperative on the party." The candidate nominated (says the Star) must he some man who is no mas - in, and who approves of our principles.. We do not say that he must necessarily be an active and conspicuous A nti- Mason , although such an one would be our choice. Ho may have lived in States and occupied stations where his political action on that subject has never been required. Shall we adopt any of those already before the people? For that there is no necessity. It is idle to say that success is the main object to be consulted. lloNEs.• Tv and CONSISTENCY will aid our cause much more than u corrupt and divided rice tory." The Erie Gazette says "Daniel Webster is our first choke, and we hope sincerely that the convention at Harrisburg will find on comparing notes that he is equally popu lar in other sections of the State. If so, the duty will be plain to form an electoral tick et pledged to his support• But if other counties, and a majority of counties, should not coincide in this opinion, and should show more strength in fiivor of any other candi date better calculated to unite all opposition to Van Buren, we believe that this county will willingly yield her preference, and sup port, by an undivided vote, such a nomina tion, with this reservation, that such nomi nation will not compromit our principles and our honor. The candidate to unite our s'rengh must be opposed to., Masonry and Van Burenism, two evils that the coun try should be rid of." The Union county Star—a paper to be relied on in every emergency—avows its determination to await the decision of the National Convention and will not prema turely give its influence to any man, but will cheerfully support whatever candidate may be placed in nomination by that body.— "We want," says the Star, "a sterling re publican—a sound Anti-Mason. What ob jections can there be to Mr. Stevens?" The Mercer Luminary says boldly "We go for a National Anti-Masonic Convention, and Anti-Masonic candidates for President and Vice President of the United States.— We mny, and doubtless will be told that it is a vain struggle, and that we can never bring it to a successful issue. This may be true and it May not. The same has been iterated add re-iterated in relation to our struggle for Governor; but the result of that contest affbrds another evidence that "truth is mighty and will prevail." The Lumina ry would prefer Daniel Webster, as indeed the Western papers generally do, but will yields willing support to any other candi date who may be placed in nomination by the convention. The Ebensburg (Cambria county) Sky, though evidently leaning towards Harrison, says,—" We are willing to submit to the nomination of an A nti-M ason ic convention, feeling confident that the intelligent mem bers from nll parts of the Union, who will form that convention, will, ►n their nomina tion, consult the well being of the party and the best interests of the country." The Philadelphia Sun avows a preference for Francis Granger as President, hut will cheerfully abide the decision of the National Convention. The Sun thinks that the nomi- nation of Edward Everett as President. and Thaddeus Stevens as Vice President, would be very generally acceptable to the Anti- Masons of the State, and would give such a ticket a vigorous support. The Harrisburg Telegraph expresses no preference, hut will abide by the decision of the National Convention. The Greensburg Intelligencer and Car lisle Expositor, though favorably inclined towards Gen. Harrison, will cheerfully sup port whoever may receive the nomination of the National Convention. The Pittsburg Gazote avows itself fa vorably dispobed towards Daniel Webster. The Westchester Register favored the claims ofGeneral Harrison, for a few weeks, but ts now willing - to be governed by the de cision of the National Convention. same may be said of the Lycoming Free Press and several other ofthe Anti•Nlasonic journals The Norristown Free Press and the Indi ana Free Press are in favor ore purely Anti- Masonic nomination by the National Con- vention. e have thus endeavored to give the sen timents of some ofthe leading journals of he State in reference to this important question; and although the extincis indicate mime di versity oropinion as to who shnll be the can- didate, it will be seen that they all avow a determination to submit cheerfully to the decision of the National Convention. Tr'Arun:us STEVENS, Esq. of Penns) . lva. ma has been named in some of the papers of that state as a suitable candidate tbr Vice President of the United Slates,. Mr. ~Ste. yens is a native of Vermont and a man oleic vated character aryl distinguished abilities. No man in Pennsylvania, except Richard Rush, has done more for the cause or Anti. Masonry than Mr. Stevens. [AliOdiebury(Vermont)Free Prtgs. GENERAL MISCELLANY. LAWS or PF.NINSYLVANIA.--..-MeSSM.

The Boston Advocate of Satnrdav says: "The fire late yesterday afternoon, was in low house on Sea street, near Ilobb's wharf, occupied by an Irish Funk. The mother was absent a:ul had lett two children in the house, which she attempted to rescue on returning and finding the he we in flames.-- ln her attempt she unfintunatelv perished, and both the children were also destroyed ir. the names."

"Good!" re turned t he other, "you may go ahead—l car ry grave-stones!" A Wm) GOOSE CnAsE.--We have been told that while a laborer on the Pennsylvania border of this County was resting for a mo ment from his work, a flock of wild geese alighted on a poor) near whi h he was stand ing and within a few feet of him. Notwith standing the pmverliialuncettaintv of ti wild goose chase, he plunged in after them and despite of the panic and fluttering, which his sudden descent created, he actually suc ceeded in securing one before they could rise from the water.—Fred. Examiner. We learn that Col. WILIJA3I PIIANE, for merly editor and publisher of the Aurora newspaper, and since the election of Gov. Wolf, Prothonotary of the Supreme Court, died in this city yesterday morning, in the 76th year of his age. He was for a long pe riod of his life one id the most active and influential politicians of Pennsylvania. He lived and died a consistent democrat.— Philadelphia Enquirer. EDUCATION.-110 City Council of Charleston, (S. C.) have by a unanimous vote, made an appropriation of 2,000 dol lars per annain, for the endowment ol a Pro fessorship in the Charleston College. The unanimity of the vote is creditable to the in telligence of that city, as it shows that the citizens are properly impressed with the val ue and importance of education. From the New Orleans nolktin, of Nov. 10. LATEST FROM TEXAS. We are indebted to a friend arrived last evening from Nacogdoches, for the latest information from Texas. He informs us hat Gen'l Houston left San Filleppe about the 22d ult. with a considerable reinforce ment of troops, to join the Commander-in- Chief, Austin, near San Antonio. Our in formant also states that he met a company of 80 men from the neighborhood of Nacog doches; another of 33, and another of 25, from the same settlement; and the company of about 60, which went front this place, who were to be joined at Nacogdoches by au additional corps--all of whom were in high health and spirits, and marching on to San Antonio. A fate cavalry company of 16 men, from the neighborhood of Natchez, were also met on their way. On the 25th nit. a letter was received from Labadie, stating that a Lieutenant had captured a Mexican, from whom he learned that there was a reinforcement of Mexicans ' of about 400, coming art to join General Cos, whose army consisted in all of about 700 men. STILL LATER.—We learn from a gentle man, that has just arrived, by land, from Texas, that the Texians had been able to surround Gen. Cos and his small army of 700 men, and that all chance of escape was shut out from him. The Texians speak confidently of an easy victory. A CANAL ROUND TUE FALLS OF NIAGA RA.—From a circular drawn up by a com mittee in Oswego. it would seem that a sur vey of the route has been made, during the past season, under the authority of the Gen eral Government, which establishes the complete practicability of the woi k; and, ac cordingly, memorials are to be addressed to Congress at the approaching session, asking their aid towards its accomplishment. NATIONAL TREASURY.—ineinfling the seven millions of the United States Bank Stock held by the Government, it is estima ted that the surplus funds in the National Treasury, on the Ist of January next, wal amount to twenty seven millions of dollars- This surplus, beyond the current expenses of the Government, is much more than had been anticipated, as both thegreat branches 'of revenue, the customs and the public lands —have been much more productive than for some years past, or than y were ex pected to be. The disposition of this sur , pint revenue, and the measures 'ileceary to prevent ilsaccumtilatkti beyond the wants of Government, in future, will be among the most difficult and exciting problems which wilt enter into the discussions of the next Congress. We trust, it may not be finally decided that the 'Legislature of - the Union have no to put the simians treasuresto a good and profitable use.--Bait. , Pat. It is known to mrtny among. us, arid shook) he understood by nil, that Mr. CLAY intro duced a hill into Conirress Inst year, harinm for its objer:t ihe division .of the proccedSot tho sales orthe public hinds among the. States. No doubt but that illustriousstates- nian will again; at the approaching session, call up this bill.

If politicians make this a par tv queition, Pennlylvania wilt worship no man. She expects every representative will do his duty up for consideration in the Iletnie. THE POIALICAL PAILSO'N.-- General Jack. anti's political parson and Nashville corres pondent—the Reverend Mr. Guin—is not to be thrust from the political arena without an etrwt, as we are about to show. The pious gentleman once refused to christen a gentleman's son, becauso the latter insisted upon haviog his name Henry Clay; and now it seems he holds scrupulrusly to the rule 14 . " give and take," or in other words that he has as nod a right to give a modest toast at a political festival, as others have to 'rive one to him. At the late While Festival in Nashville the following tuna was given by a Mr. Jack son:— “When Parsons become political mana gers, it is proper for them to abandon the pulpit.” At the masked Von Buren celebration and festival which was bad soon lifter, at the same place, the Reverend and amiable Mr. Gwin trove the following toast— When trove Foreigners, insolent lacquies, grooms and black-leg gamblers, meddle in politics, it is high time f.)r Cler gymen and honest men to warn the good people of their danger." It is presumed that the pa rson has now fairly taken the field.—Baltimore Patriot. [ll - The Rev. Mr. GWIN is not the on ly Political Parson in the world. • We have another one "in our eye? " )—Gettys• burg Star. ' O'CoNsELL's WiFc.—With all that is alleged arrainst the agitator, it seems that he possesses in an eminent degree the finer feelings of the heart. On his wife being toasted at a dinner given to him at Newcas tle, he made the following feeling response: There are some topics of so sacred and sweet a nature, that they rm.* , be compre hended by tho.e who are happy, but cannot possibly be described by any human being. All that I shall do is to thank you in the name of her who was the disinterested choice of my early youth; who was the ever cheerful companion of my manly years; and who is the sweetest solace of that "sear and yellow leaf" age at which I have arrived. In her name I thank you, and this you may readily believe; for experience, I think, will show to us all, that no man can battle and struggle with the malignant enemies of his country, unless his nest at home is warm and comfortable—unless the honey of human life is commanded by a hand that ho loves." FAITH IN A FATHER'S PROMISE.-I im pressed on my daughter, says Mr. Cecil, the idea of faith in God, at a very early age.— She was one day playing with a few beads, which seemed to delight her very much; her whole heart appeared absorbed in those beads. I said to her my dear you have some pretty beads there, "yes papa," she replied, well now throw then] behind the fire. The tears started in her eyes, she looked earnestly at me as though she ought to have a reason for that sacrifice. , "Well my dear do as you please, but you know I never told you any thing but what was for your good." She looked at me a few mo ments, then summoning up all her fortitude, she dashed them into the tire. "Well, said I, there let them lie, you shall hear more a bout them some other time." A short time afterwards I bought her a box full of large beads and . some toys besides. When I re turned home I opened the treasure, and set them down before her. She burst into tears of ecstacy. "Those my child, are yours, because you believed me when I told you it would be better to throw those few paltry beads into the fire. I have brought you what is infinitely more valuable. But, my dear, remember as long as you live what faith is You threw away your beads when I bid you—because you had faith in me that I never advised you but for your good. Put the same confidence in God. Believe every thing that he says in his word, whether you understand it or not. Have faith in ham who means, and wills every thing for your good." If our citizens should think proper to go into the discussion and prosecution of the reform system, we shall have a vast amount .fbugines on hand for the current year.— We shall have first an election for Electors of state Senate in September; next an elec tion for Dele:;:ites to the Legislature, Sher itr, and Commissioners in October; then an election fir Electors of President and Vice President of the United States in November —and, perchance, a fit.rce agitation and confused mixing up of the reform question with all the others. We are for postpone inentuf that which may be, and perhaps better should be, postponed to a more con verient sea.m. If we have too many irons in the fire, some of thorn will be very apt to bum.—Hag.

[Corrected weekly from the Baltimore Patriot.] Flour Wheat Corn Oats Oz - An Apprentice wanted im mediately at this Office. wlro mistake in OM wildams! i!n - The meeting at the Court-house on Monday evening last, was all that we could wish—even more than, under the circum stances, we expected. We observed many ofour friends from almost every part of the County. It was in fact a meeting of the PEOPLE—the FREEMEN of the country. It was not a gathering of two or three shilla wallee renegades who have now no ground to rest the soles of their feet upon. No! It was a gathering of those who have hereto fore battled for the Supremacy of the Laws --for principles, not men; and who by their presence and voices told those Demagogues who are striving to get up a personal party --and who have enlisted under the banner of a man, that they have nothing to expect from free Republicans whose devotion to country is paramount to a subserviency to men. The Anti-Masons of old Adams will as heretofore, be found on the right side he side of the Constitution and the Laws Ozrin a few days more, the Anti- Mason c Convention will assemble at Harrisburg, for the purpose of selecting an Electoral Ticket and electing Delegates to the Na tional Convention for seitlingcandidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, to be supported by the Democratic Anti-Masonic Republican party. The selections to be thus made, are im portant, and on them depend the future ex istence or non-existence of our party. if judicious men are selected—men who are and have ever been open and avowed Anti- Masons from principle—who will under all circumstances go for the maintenance of those principles which called us as a party into existence, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left—but keeping ever in view, that to be victorious and prosperous, we must maintain our ground and "PERSE VERE." under all difficulties, unto the end. II men thus actuated—thus influenced, are selected to carry out our principles, then will our cause be committed unto competent agents; and it they prove faithful, will carry us to a triumphant victory, or a glorious de feat—for it will be greater glory to be defeat. ed contending for just and righteous princi ples, than to triumph by the aid of mercena ry and treacherous allies—or under any oth er banner than our own pure, unstained flag, whose broad bright stripes are proudly waving in defence of the Constitution and Laws—both of which have been mostshame fully and disgracefully trampled underfoot by the oath-bound slaves of the Lodge. Let others do and say what they may—but for our individual self, give us purely Anti-Ma sonic candidates for the Presidency, and we care not whether we are successful or not— whether we' rise or fall, it will be contending for those vital principles which brought us as a party into existence, and for the supre macy of which we have labored. most hon estly and zealously. This is the spirit which has actuated the Anti-Masonic party hereto fore—in defeat and in success—let it pre dominate still, and it will carry us to future more great and glorious victories. On the other hand: Let the Convention now about to assemble, either through fear, mistaken notions, or blind zeal in behalf of an individual, lose sight of this principle, and, for the sake of an ophemerial populari ty, merge our party and principles into a personal party, personal combination, for the personal advancement of a certain indi vidual—that moment, then, will be the last of the great and growing Anti. Masonic par ty—yet flush with the most glorious politi cal victory ever achieved, and which never could have been so achieved under any och• er name! Yes, that moment will see our party, like the ashes of the Master Mason, "scattered to the four winds of heaven," leaving behind naught but disgraceful re- tembrances of its short-lived existence!— Look at poor deluded, betrayed New York!

This is the pure and only ground on which we will or can stand—enter upon any other, AND WE FALL! a:77 - The Philadelphia "Sun" thus closes an excellent article on the subject of the Presidency: "We turn to the other name suggested and say that we prefer for the Vice Presi dency, Thaddeus Stevens. One of the first Orators and Statesmen of this Commonwealth—and of the Union— for who is his superior in fervid eloquence? why should we not nominate him? He is the sword of Anti-Masonic Democracy— Ellmaker the shield—and yet from his zeal for the general interests and improvements of the State, he is popular with all liberal minded citizens. His name would be a tow er of strength." Which tell the Truth? rC'The Masonic Sentinel, published in this place, says Mr. Everett "was elected Governor by the Whigs, over the combin ed forces ofJacksonism and Anti-Masonry!" 0:7 - The Masonic Gazette, of Boston says —"The Anti-Masons in most of the coun ties have given Mr. Everett a handsome support. Without their votes we think he would have had a tight squeeze. The Whigs did not turn out in all their strength." John Quincy Adams. 0::7 - It is with much pleasure we give place to the following bold and manly letter from Mr. ADAMS. We are glad that Past Master BARNES, of the Baltimore Chronicle, does riot like it. The Major is a great stickler for the Lodge, and therefore despi ses all Mr. Adams' "slang against Masonry!" If the Major is candid, and will tell the truth in defiance of his love of Illasoniy,lie can not but admit, that if Mr. Adams' "slang" contains no "poetry," it is at least full of sound truth. QUINCY, 17th October, 1835. s. S. SOUTIIWORTH, Editor of the Bangor Whig and Courier, Bangor, Me. SIR: I have received your letters, of the 4th and 12th inst. and, with the latter, the Bangor Courier of the 13th. In your Leiter of the 4th, you gave me notice that you should, on the then ensuing Tuesday, admit to the columns of the Ban. gor,Whig & Courier, an article in relation to me, which might do me political injustice, and you kindly offered me the columns of your press to reply. For this notice, and this offer, I tender you my thanks. In the Bangor Courier I find two articles headed with my name, one under the date of the Bth, and one of the 12th—both o which do me great injustice—so great, in deed, as to preclude the propriety of a reply from me. You have not informed me who the author of them is; nor am I desirous to know. My conduct is open to the com men•s, and my motives are open to the sur mises of all observers who deem them of sufficient importance to be made subjects of political speculation, but I have never tho't myself bound to reply to assailants whose names and motives were not as much open to inspection as my own. Your letter of the 12th refers ALSO to an Article in the newspaper, under the head of "the Hon. Tristam Burges;" in reference to which I have to observe, first—That my letter of 7th Sept. lust to Mr. Pearce did not affirm, ns it first appeared in print, "I have heard Mr Barges complain"—but I have heard Mr. Barges complains. He had not complained to me; nor did I affirm that he had. But I had heard of Mordecai—and I had heard the result, of the Senatorial elec tion in Rhode Island. There had been al lusions to them in newspapers that 1 had seen; though certainly not in the minute ness and precision of detail for which your article in the Bangor Courier appeals to the testimony of Mr. Burges himself. Secondly. The party charged in my let ter of 7th September to Mr. Pearce, with having betrayed Mr. Burges in the Senato rial Election, was not the Whig party of Rhode Island,but that portion ofthem "com pounded of Hartford Convention federalism and Royal Arch .Masonry." Among the Whigs of - Rhode Island, there were many warm Anti-Masons—there were many Na tional Republicans, who had never bowed the knee to the Baal of Masonry nor truck led to the secret conclave of Hartford.— None of these betrayed Mr. Burgs—nor was my charge of treachery applied to them. They contributed most essentially to the re cent election of M r. Pearce and Mr.Sprague, and if they have abandoned the Whig party it is precisely because the remnant of that party had resolvird into Hartford Convention federaligm and Royal Arch Masonry, at e t o 9 was leading them to a precipice. My letter to Mr. Pearce named no indi viduals, nor was there any one person in my mind to whom I meant ,to apply the charge of treachery. You consider the individuals alone responsible. I consider it as charac toristic of a party having no honest common principle to hold them together: That party not being the Whig party, but the com pound of Hartford Convention federalism and Royal Arch Masonry. That the disso lution of. the Whig party itself will follow from their connexion with it, appears to me probable. They have lost Rhode Island— I trot flirever. The people of that State will, I hope, hereafter be kept together by lie cement of a common honest principle. You are at liberty to make of this letter what use you think proper. I am, with acknowledgment; for the CAN. norm of your procedure with me on this occasion, sir, your ob't servant, JOHN QuiNcy ADAMS. paz•We learn from the Pittsburg Ga zette that Mr. RITNER nrrived at that place on the evening of the 23d, and departed the next day, "accompanied by many members of the Legislature, for Harrisburg, in one of the Canal - Boats of Leech's Line." kp. We have received the first No of a 'fire and faggot" affair from Harrisburg, trubbed."Anti-Maso nic State Democrat!" Our readers can judge of its character when we inform them, that it is got up by a Harrisburg Junto who have resolved that the Anti Masonic party shall swallow Gcn Harrison, willing or unwilling! But it won't do. Anti-Masons are not to be caught in a gull-trap evidently set up by Steg and the Ilamillons,assisted by the funds of the GiWnd Lodge! We shouldn't wonder if "Morgan's ghost" would haunt old friend Rugby now in earnest! (Kt-Fenn—Fear not! As Davy Crockett would say keep a stiff upner-lip,and go a-head! BANK OF GETTYSBURG.

MUSEUM OF FOREIGN LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.—The greater attention bestowed on this work by Mr. Adam Waldie, the new publisher, has been one of the means of ef fecting a decided improvement in it. We deemed it in time past, one of the most in• teresting and valuable periodicals of the day —the cheapest withal, in proportion to the quantity and character of its contents, n mong the somewhat numerous family of A merican periodicals. If there were reasons for such an estimate of its qualities before, there certainly are now, under the existing "administration." The number for the pre sent month is well charged with interesting matter, and is truly a literary "museum" in itself. PUBLIC SALE.
