With the exception of the presentation Of numerous petitions generally aft local char actor, very little of importance was transac ted in the House yesterday._ A mono the petitions presented, were some from Berks, Northumberland and Westmoreland, fir a repeal and alteration of the act establishing a Gene r al System of Education. To-day after the presentation of petitions, a communication was laid before. the House from the Canal Commissioners, in vindica tion of certain matters referred to by the Governor in his ohrections returned with the resolution relative to the purchase of twelve additional lucomotives f,r the Colum• his and Philadolphis Rail Road. ,A motion was made by Mr. M'CLURE, who appears to be the advocate for Gov. Wolf and compa ny, to print two thousand copies of the com munication in the English and five hundred in the German language, which elicited a very warm and animated debate of about an hour and a varier in length; during which, - there were manifested some very angry feel ings between. Messrs. Cox and M'CurnE.-- The discussion did not so much arise on the subject to print, as from the motives to do so. Mr. M'Clure contended that the Canal Commissioners stood arraigned before the bar of public , opinion as culprits charged with high Crimes, and that they had a right to be heard in their own defence, and that the document was nothing more than an ex position of facts which the public ought to know. Mr. Cox advocated the printing of the paper, upon the ground of justification to the Governor, that the people might be able to appreciate the motives more fully which actuated the Executive, in the refusal of his assent to the resolution. What the consequences would have been, it is difficult to conjecture, had the Speaker not interfered by calling the gentlemen to order! Mr. WALKER offered an amendment to the motion to print, made by Mr. M'Clure, by adding "that the communication be not received and that the Cleric be directed to return the same to the Canal Commission ers." He supported the amendment, in his usual felicitous and forcible style; he con tended that the canal commissioners had no right to reply to any message of the Execu tive unless called for by the House; ho said it was impudent and insolent m them to do so, and that such conduct should not he coun. tenanced, much less receive the sanction of the House; that if it were to be received, the House would every day be annoyed by such insolent communications; and that he hoped it would nut be received. The Yeas and Nays being called, the motion to reject the communication was lost by a vote of six to seventy. The yeas and nays were then called on the motion to print, and were Yeas fifty-three, Nays twenty-one, so the motion to print prevailed. As soon as the communication is printed, I will send you a copy. Besides Messrs. Cox, M'Clur and Walker, Messrs. Stevens, Reed, Spack num and Karns participated in the debate. The House then proceeded to the nomi nation of candidates fi.r State Treasurer, when the following persons were nomina- ted, VIZ: RICHARD T. LEECH', JOSEPH LIEN DERSON, ALENANDIin AHON, JOSEPH LAW /lENCE and VI ? ALTER OLIVER. next is the day fixed by law, for the election; it is difficult to conjecture as to the probable result of the election, but it is highly probe. ble that Mr. Lawrence will he the man. A more efficient man could not be elected. Mr. LA:WRENCE called for the second reading of the resolution offered by him some time since, relative to the distributiot of the surplus revenue among the States, for purposes of Education and Internal Improve- lonia. After steno remarks on the subject, with regard to the reasons why the resolu lino should pits', a motion to adjourn pre vailed, and the further consideration of the -subject Was suspended, until Monday nest. The "Union and harmony" convention adjourned on today, pleased with oth• er, - at least for the time being: the %lilies swadowing the wholo dish prepared fur them by their loving ft tends, the IVolf men, nt the fourth of March Convention! Now very keen their appetites must have become since the election, whoa they looked upon the corrup• tams of their Wolf brethren with such greo of holy horror; mow they are prepaied to swallow a Mess which was condemned to bo so nauseous a few short months ago!— Circumszancee alter cases! HARRISBURG, Jan. 11,18:16 Numerous petitions on various subjects - were presented, generally of a local charac ter; there were a lbw pres3nted for an in. Vestigattoti of tho evils of Free•Mnsonry,and ate fur a repeal of the School law. ' ---1 MOON ( eOll offered by Mr. r.sAMLENCE relative to the distribution of the surplus revenue among the States, was rend the so -1 cond lime and passed. It was amended by Mr. Lawrence, so as to read "such propor tion of the revenue as may arise from the sale of the public lands." There was a feeble resistance made to the passage of the resolution, by some of the 1 "Union and harmony family." They re sorted to the written creed of their great and infdlible lawgiver, and conceived that the extracts that they lad read, from his celebrated veto message on the subject of Clay's land bill, (which by Ihe.hy, was all the argument advanced by them,) were stir ficient reasons why the resolution should not pass. Mr. JONES, however, who seem ed disposed to doubt the constitutionality of the resolution, because Andrew Jackson had done so before him,voted for the passage of the resolution, upon the Yeas and Nays being called. The vote stood for the pas. sage of the resolution sevuay, and against it, twelve. Oae of the grounds taken by Mr. M'Clure was the use there would be for the stir plus revenue upon the event that there should be a rupture with France; which he seemed to think would in all probability occur. But the fiends of reform, who are solicitous for the removal of the heavy hurthens imposed upon our citizens by the corrupt and extrav arrant administration of Governor Wolf, were not so easily scared by those rumors of war, which have heretofore been sounded merely to subserve party purposes. Should such an unhappy state of'tliings take place, those who talk Most loudly and make the greatest pretensions to patriotism, will, like on limner occasions, be the last to come to the rescue. The committee appointed to investigate the subject of Free-Masonry and other se cret and oath-bound associations,had a meet ing. A Mr. M'CLELLANn, who had taken the degree of Knight Templar, was sworn, and under oath testified to all WO facts con tained in "Allyn's Ritual," as being sub stantially correct in every particular, with the exception of a few trifling variations as practised in the several lodges. Mr. A Lux. ANDER FOSTER., jr. of Pittsburg, of the Or der of Odd Fellows, was next examined, and testified to all the facts contained in an ex position of the association of Odd Fellow- ship. The oaths by which the members of that association are bound together, and the penalties imposed upon them for a violation thereof, are no less horrible and blasphe. mous in their character, than those of the order of Masonry. An exposition of the horridsoaths and penalties of those institu- tions are enough tofill the mind with horror, and it is impossible that an institution so foul, so blasphemous, and so utterly at vart ance with the laws of God and man, should much longer have an existence in a com- munity ofclristianity and laws. An expo sition of its abominations, is sufficient for ever to deter any man possessed of Chris tian feelings, from entering such a den of pollution. Many Masons, doubtless, are honest and sincere; they have been deluded, and the awful character of the oaths and penalties imposed upon them, deter them from renouncing the order. Ex• Governor W OLF, who was likewise summoned to attend, did not make his ap. pearance; but sent a communication to the Chairman of the Committee, protesting a gainst their authority to ask his attendance! The committee will, it's said,send an attach- ment for his Ex-Excellency. HARRISBURG, Jan. 12, 1936. Not mach of general interest was done to day. with the exception of a rather anima ted debate on a report made by M r. STEVENS, Chairman of the Committee to Investigate the Evils of Free-Masonry and all other Se. cret Associations, on the subject of their having served subpce . nas upon Gov. WOLF, JOHN Ne.r.soN and CHARLES SHALER, and their refusal to attend before the committee; accompanied with a resolution, relative to Tuesday suing attachments for the said George Wolf, John Nelson and all other delinquent witnesses. Mr. SPACKNAN moved to post pone the further consideration of the subject for the present, when Mr. STEVENS moved to amend the motion until after the ba11,4- tags fir State Treasurer, (which,took place to day,) which was agreed to. Mr. REED did not deny the authority of the House to compel the attendance of witnesses before any committee that might be appointed by the House, and that he would go as flu as any man to enforce the action of the House upon the subject, but Tie said that it was a subject of great importance, therefore he thought there Ought to be time given, and that the present discussion was premature. Messrs. STEVENS and WATTS, entertained different views on the subject; they contend. ed finite refiisal even to attend before a re gularly cowitittited committee by the House, ivas treating the House with the greatest in dignity, more especially as such a refusal emanated from ono who recently was the administrator of the laws, and should be the last to refuse obedience. Mr.- Stevens stud, ho criel ed not how high the individual was, he had just the same right with the meanest beggar that treads the face of the earth, to obey a call of this House, to testily to all pro per questions that might be proposed. The letters of Gov. Wolf and John Nel son were rend; the fl)rmer contends that no earthly power has a right to compel him to expose any compact into which he may have entered, tolerated by the constitution, which he said was the character of the Ma sonic Institution. The whole 'affair is a weak concern, disreputable to a man who has filed the Chief Magistracy of the State. As soon as the balloting for State Trea slime, were closed for today, the House ad }dirtier). So the question will again he up to-morrow, when it Is expected we will have a specimen of Masonic Whiggery. There were three unsuccessful ballotings fur State Treasurer, on the third ballot, Alexander Mahon, 42 votes Joseph Lawrence, :35 Richard T. Leech, 29 Joseph Henderson, 6 There being no choice, the convention ad• 'ourned until to-morrow. • The committee to investigate the evils of Free.Nlasonry, had a session this after• n oon a t 3 o'clock, but not a single witness answered to his name! HA RV ISBURG, Jan. 13, 1836 To day, as soon as the House met, Mr. STEVENS moved that the House now proceed to the consideration of the resolution, rela tive to issuing of attachment for, George Wolf and others, which was before the House when it adjourned yesterday.— Twelve o'clock being the hour fixed for bal loting for Stoic Treasurer, the remarks were suspended until after the election, which re sulted on the third ballot, in the choice of JOSEPH LAWRENCE. The House again wet at 3 o'clock and sat till five, when the question was taken on the resolution, and passed, Yeas fifty-nine, Nays twenty•one. The passage of, the resolution was advo• cated by Messrs. STEVENS, Cox, FREW, WALKEII of Erie, REED, SPACRIMAN, DARNS and C(:0;12 AD; and opposed by Messrs. IP- Cunt E, HALL and Hut,. It would be dein , ' injustice to the masterly speech of Mr. Ste yens on this occasion were I to attempt to give even an outline—l shall, therefore not attempt it. The gentlemen who spoke in favor of the resolution, all acquitted them selves in an admirable manner, in their de termination to stand by the consti'ution and the laws, by defending them from every encroachment upon the sanctity of their character, either from Masonic, or any oth er oath.bound association, emanating from any source, however high it may be. The opponents of the measure made a pitiable ef fort, in endeavoring to make it appear a pri vate concern, and that it was unconstitution• al by a branch of the Legislature to appoiht a committee clothed with power to send for persons and papers. But their Masonic cobwebs were weighed and found wanting. All the sophistry that the lodge could invent, weighed not a feather. To-morrow, it is ex pected,t hat his Ex-Excelleucy,will appear before the committee. HARRISBURG, Jan. 14, 1836 Numerous petitions were presented to day; among which, were'several for the re peal of the act abolishing imprisonment for debt, under a less amount than five dollars and thirty-four cents. Also several for a repeal and one for an alteration of the School Law. An attachment was issued against his Ex Excellency, (Geo. Wolf;) who accord. ingly appeared this afternoon before the committee, but refused to testify to such matters as might be put to him. The small fry generally follow in the train of their great leader. Some few are growing wea• ry of wearing the collar any longer, and of them a full and decisive expression will be had on the subject. The Committee of In vestigation have adjourned until Monday next;to take,no doubt,such measures in refer. ence to tnatters,as will be necessary to corn. pal the attendance of delinquent witnesses. What the result will probably be, it is dif ficult at present to anticipate. It is however to be regretted,that the highest officer of the State, who has wielded its destinies for the last six years, should hold his Masonic obli gations paramount to those he took upon en tering upon the duties of his official term.— Such a state ofaffairs is justly calculated to arouse freemen, and make them tremble for the welfare and perpetuity'of that precious liberty purchased with the treasure,and seal ed with the best blood, of their patriotic fathers. HARRISBURG, Jan. 15, 1915. Petitions were presented to.day by Mr. COSILY and Mr. Cow in; for the repeal of the act abolishing imprisonment for debt for an amount not exceeding five dollars arid thir ty-four cents. Mr. DEWART presented a petition for a repeal (if the School Law.— There were many others presented,but gen erally of a local character. Mr. Flisstrix prey.mted- one fur an act authorizing limited. partnership and Mr. GAMBLE one for an act authorizing a Minerological and Geological survey of the State. The latter two are general in their character. 'Mr. BULLOCK, made nn elTiert to-day to have the vote given on Wednesday last,rela. tive to Issuing attachments for Gov. Wolf and other delinquent witnesses, reconsid'er ei; his reasons, like all that have yet been advanced by tho Masonic collar pa rt vvvere, that he doubted the constitutionality of the ensure, therefore he was anxious to record his vote against it, having, when the resolu• Lion waqpfire the House, on a former oc raqien,.acted, without reflecting on the im portant character of the resolution. tie conceived that it would be establishing a Dangerous precedent, involvino• no le 4s than the deprivation of the sacred right of free men. The cry of distress no doubt, has been uttered, the mandate of the Lodge hasgone forth, and called upon the petty vassals o the Order, to protect its Knight Templars, Knights of the Holy Ghost, of the lied Cross and the CeLesko! Empire, from the dooth decreed by public opinion which a• waits it, and which must inevitably result in the final overthrow of the Vampire which is preying upon the vitals of our liberties, and setting at defiance the constitution and Ite laws. The day is not fur distant, when this nninsler will only exist in memory, and be remembered f o r its follies and its crimes. (* - 11r.

Esq. has been appoint ed by the Governor, a Jn.tice of the Peace in and for the county of Adams. o — The Pittsburg Gazette in an article in reference to the proceedings of the late Convention, comes to the following just and true conclusion: The whole came simply stated, Is as follows The National Convention of 1831 recommend ed another National Convention; the State Con. vention of March 1835, coneurred in this re commendation, and directed the State Ciumnit tee to appoint the limn and manner of electing the delegates. In obedience to this direction, State Committee called a convention, to elect i7eleffates to a National Convention; and a large, very large majority of the e.ounties, having this call bolero thorn, sent delegates, either with in strnctions approving the National Convention, or without instructions, 'thus concurring in the call Yet, in disregard of all this, a majority of the delegates, consisting of Whigs and office hunters, under the direction of James Todd, decided a gainst a National Convention, thus nullifying the national organization of tho party, and putting at defiance the will of the people. To the Editor of the Star and Republican Banner. 555 *****d, December 29, 1835. DEAR SIR I-4 have road, again and again, the official report of the proceedings of the Demo cratic Anti-Masonic Stale Convention at Harris burg, and have tried to reconcile the proceedings of the majority with • my own, long cherished Anti-Masonic principles, as well as with the pub lie declarations made, for years past, by nearly all the Anti !Masonic meetings held throughout the state; yen—with the very resolutions which the said majority publish as, "unanimously a dopted at the close of their session." But 1 must confess .ny titter inability to do so. The more 1 reflect, the more 1 find (like in our Presiden tial messages ofthe latter years,) proreNsions and practice in direct opposiiinid And what I regret most it appears if their object had been, as far as they wore able, to verify the very accusations which have been continoally reiterated against Anti-Masons by the Lodges and their abettors, nom the commencement of political Anti. Mason ry down to this very day—viz : the charges of insincerity and dishonesty in their political pro fessions. "We go for principles and not for men!" hoth been re-echoed from ono Anti-Mascnic meeting to the other. And, "the destruction of Masonry is not what you want; the prostration of Andrew Jackson, the destruction of Democracy is your ob ject," bath been the uniform answer of the cable tew'd democratic meetings and presses in Penn sylvania, Ohio, New York, &c. And "you want to lead us to Van Bum - en and deliver us captive to Jackson Democracy." is the cry of the cable tow'd Whig meetings and papers of Massachu setts and other states with acknowledged Whig majorities. "In vain did you try to conquer Democracy, "and to defeat the greatest and the bestdhe second "Saviour of our country, as Fedora's, National " Republicans or Whigs; and you cloak under the "name of Anti-mason;conjure up tho ghost of mur "dored Morgan,and talk about equal rights, prin• "ciple, and supremacy of the laws, in order to "make dupes and tools of the unsuspecting, and "and to fix an opponent of the present administra• "don (no matter whether Alusim,moral Anti-Ma "son, or political Anti Mason) in the Presidential Chair, as have cenceibid to effect a gubernatorial "change in our state; not of principle, but of "mon; not for the gond of the public, but for the "loaves and fishes," cries the demagogue in the ranks of the man , to command ! arid is se cunded by the approved nobility, on that side of the question, in Pennsylvania. And many an honest Jacksomnan, or true Democrat (who is no man's man,) believes, arid strengthens by his vote a blinyhemons society, whose oaths and rites he abhors; and the party of a man, whose usurpations his judgment condemns. Again: "What do you care about Morgan, "Masons and Masonic oaths, laws and princi "pies?" ask the Whig loaders of Massachusetts, and all the brethren of the "mystic tye" with "thorn. "All you want is to give Van Buren the "vote of Massachusetts, and so to secure tho pa "tronage of the General Government into those "hands who justly fear that the sceptre will be "wrested - from them, and that the day of retribu "lion is near." "Ford slander!" cry the Anti-Masons, "We "have nothing to do with the old party distinctions "and names; they have had their day, kit their "meaning and aro only contended for by the ad "hermit; of one or another mail, for selfish pur poses. We are no enemies, neither of Jackson "or Clay; we only oppose the anti-republican "usurpiitions of the ono, and the practical, adhe ring Masonry of both. Those, as political Anti. "Masons, we oppose at tho polls; and Jackson "Dumper:ley or Whigism have nothing to do with "this. We, as Anti Masons, have no choice a "rnong any of the candidates brought before the "people by any other party, provided they aro "neither political Ant i•Misons nor adhering Ma. '"sons, such as Van Buren, White, flurrison,-, 'they stand towards us in an equal position; we "cannot be the exclusilie friends of either." But "should the Anti- Masons of the United States in "their National Convention; settle upon a prom "inent political Anti-Nlason,like Adoms,Wchster, "Everett,Granger, Calhoun,or any otherove shall "give him our united support as a party—not us a "man,but as tho representative and defender of our "principles—EQUAL AMMO AND TDB BUM:MACY "UP TUE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS!" "Foul slander.' ggay the majority of the Dem ocratic Anti-Mavonie State Conv:•ntron of Penn sylvania, in their official report, "But wo will lint send Delegates to the National Anti 24 'sonic Convention, because it is inexpedient to hold such convention! (why?!) We nominated IVilliam Hen ry Harrison, who is sufficiently Anti-Masonic, for President; and Francis Granger fur Vice President; and we declare that we will riot have the members from ouch county, to inform the Convention of the nature and terms of the call of their primary meetings for the el,!etion of d gales to the slate convention; and that in !riving bomittated William H Harrison we have • rifstlY adhered to the principles of Democratic Anti- Ai and therefore form the following elects rat ticket, pledged for the support of our candi dates as nominated," &c. "and we further re solve, that the supremacy of the laws ought to he upheld against individuals and svcret sworn asso ciations; and that the people have a right to its. sou ble to such end; resort to the balbot•box, legis lative enactments, use of public prox:o- , ," &c. "That, believing Masonry and all secret oath. hound societies an onormotis public evil, we re. i commend to our friends in other statesn distinct party organization, (take nidice Vertnie.t, I:h,•• e Island, New Hampshire, M line, C inner:Hem, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and 0• him)fitr their suppression and the elect to. , of Wm.

"But Anti.

And if they would, no man is to bo found, known as an Anti-Mason, and fit for office, who would accept a nomination, There are no principles held in common by the Anti. Masons of the ditThrent kolas, which can unite them on any ono of the existing candidates They must therefore carry their national strinigth into the ranks of one party and thus compel that party to respect the principles of Anti. Masonry; or divide and fight rmsupernumary troops in the ranks of other parties; into whatever party Anti- Masonry goes in a body, it will drive Witionry out; and it had better ho driven out of the certain majority, (Van Ituron,) than from the over last ing minority," (Whig.)

B.—lf Mr. Fenn, of the Pennsylvania Tel. egraph, had published the notes which, he says, he took of the speeches of Messrs. Todd and Ste vens, the injustice which he was "afraid of doing such man in reporting thorn," would not have been transferred to the community at large, and the cause of Anti-Masonry in general. Both gentlemen aro known as good speakers; and the correctness oftho positions advanced, would load to salutary conviction; whore the accomplished manner in which they are worded, can only help to persuade, perhaps to the injury of the hearer or render, if the position ilselrbe fidse; and I trust both gentlemen do not hold their fame ns orators dearer than the cause which they have espoused, bo it Ilar risonism or Anti-Masonry.

Go-We call the attention of the public to the no tice in another column, respecting this work. It should be in the hands of every one desiring, incon trovertible evidence of the truth often asserted, that Masonry was stronger than the Laws! It will there be seem that although members of the Order, after solemnly swearing that they would "true and perfect answers make to all such interrogatories as to them should he put in this cause, and therein to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," to shield their Institution and their supposed brother from the Laws of the country, they disregarded their solemn oath by either standing mute, ou or:FUSING TO A Nswen! Again we say, let the evidence of this fact be extensively circulated. it ask attention to the letter of Mr. GILLE LAND, published on our first page. How far above the timeserving politicians of the day does it place 'FDA DDEUS STEVENS! Would to Heaven that our country could boast of more such men! Such men are not to be "bought with' a price;" neither will they sell their principles, however glittering the reward offered in exchange.

OBITUARY. ••ilnng be the Heavens In binckl•• 00.11 in:comes our duty this week, to announce to no doubt, deeply sympathizing public, the prema ture decease of our neighbor and contemporary, the "PEOPLE'S PRESS," the organ of "Ilarrrisonisni" in this county! Alas for the fleeting duration of Editorial life!— This brilliant speed nen of wit, genius,deeency and ho nesty, which for a brief period astonished the public gaze, and witched the world with most surpassing feats of political lezerdemain, has, of a truth, died ! —gone the way of all newspapers—defunct—gone out !—totally extinguished !! "Alas! poor Ynrick!" This precocious luminary of wisdom and genius, shuffled off this mortal coil at the close of the first year of its existence; and the melancholy event was announced to the public for the first time, by the ante mortem publication of its own epitaph on Friday last! In relation to the biography of the deceased, some ilegree of obscurity rests on its origin. It is generally understood to have been the illegitimate brat of spu rious Anti-51asoctry,shuflied into existence in a man ner kestithown to itself; and assumed, originally, the sonorous cognomen of "Anti-Mason;" which, at a subsequent period, when its sponsors, Malice and Fraud, adopted the foundling, was changed to the name by which it has been latterly known. As to The particular incidents that marked its career, be hold, are they not written in the "book of the Re membrance" of the people of Adams county? We have only to odd, "Rerpriescat in pace!" Qt-We desire not to speak ill of the dead,but can not avoid saying, that never did any rogue die on the gallows with a greater lie in his mouth, than that put forth by the "Press" just at the moment of its eiit, when it deelares that "a great majority of the Anti- Masons of Adams COunty will support the nomination of 'Harrison!" The Anti-Masons of Adams county, &lad we believe we know their sentiments, will nev er consent to support any man so long a' he declares Mai their principies are wouse than Masonry use LAN CA STER EXAMIN M-'Wo desire not to enter into a controversy with any ofour brethren with whom, in days past, We have together battled for pure and distinctive Anti-Mason ry, that may lend to ill-feeling. It is true, that such hu+ been the success of the deep-laid, and cunningly devised scheme of the Lodge, that with but few ex ceptions, we have been left alone upon the citadel of Anti-Masonry.. And while we make this acknowl edgment, we could weep, freely weep, over those honest-hearted sentidels who are now sleeping on their posts and are ulenist devoured by the Lodge.— Bat- why should we? Why grieve when, even if among; those who in former days, when principle and not interest influenced their actions, there should in tlMse days of dim visions, a "spirit come over their dreams," and they,for awhile be found in the ranks of their enemy! We are where we were since the, first dawn of Anti-Masunry, contending for pure and uncon. laminated principles, Where are those who started wijh us? Gone! gone! Have they been "bought with a pricer' No! we shall not so charge them! They will yet return to the ranks from which they have slightly deviated But we must protest against the course pursued, since the nomination of Harrison, by the paper whose name stands at the head of this artick. It has the right, if it chooses, to sell its "birth-right," and glut itself upon "the price!" Bin we cOnceive that it has no right, because a few citiz•rus of Lane ister feel dis posed to stick by their principles, and even eueour age those who ask no reward for their toils, who de sire not to sell their principles to perpetuate that re ward even for a little brief season, to travel out of its way and attack those citizens—men, too, who, when the conductors of that paper were unknown to the party, were spending; time, talents and money to propagate and advance the principles of Anti-Mason ry—especially, too, when their ill natured and over hearing remarks are levelled al they know not whom. Whatever may be our individual course in respect to the nominee of the late amalgamation convention, we expect to ne( in opposition to a few °four old friends —friends who have sustained our paper from its com mencement. But however fcw that numb.:r may be, we trust that we shall remember such differences in kindness—mid treat their opinions as honest is our own; and 01 no occasion to forget like our brethren of Lancaster, that they were and are still our friends, or that we arc or ought to be—a gentleman. The gentlemen who addressed IN, and whose notes were published without their knowledge or consent, are high minded, honorable men—men who have borne the beat and burthen of th e d a y in, b e h a lf o f Anti-Masonry, from its birth, through its infancy and unto its manhood; and all that they desire is, (lint it shall remain pure and uncontaminated—that It will fight its own battles—choose its own leaders, without the assistance or interference of the Lodge. They have not, like those toho now abuse them. fought in our ranks that they might, by bribing—if you please —a disaffected portion of the enemy, be enabled to carry off a part qf The Spoils! No—they are honest men—not a "merchantable commodity" to be transfer red "for value received!" but those who have ever been guided by the old rule, that "Honesty is the bet ter policy." To the Examiner men we would say, in all kindness, "Go thou and do likewise•." The Lancaster Examiner takes it rnightly to !malt, that there should be men in its own coon• ty who appreciate consistency, and value their principles, more highly than the conductors of that paper. Well an be it. It will be observed that we go for the preservation of Anti-Masonry; the Examiner fin. Ilurrison—of course, then, to opposition to os. Which then is right?

It however appears, from a report just made by Mr. WALKER, (of Eric.,) Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, that there will be a deficiency to meet the ()Hilla ry expenses and appropriations this year of near. ly ONE MILLION of dollars! From Europe. Curlf we are to judge from the tone of the intelli gence from Europe, since our last, our affairs with France will yet be amicably settled. A letter from Gen. BERNARD, says the New York Commercial, "gives the strongest assurances of the King's aver sion to hostilities, and of his desire to end the con troversy by the payment of the indemnification, up on any plausible fulfilment of the condition annexed to the appropriation by the Chambers"—and it is generally thought that that portion of the President's late Message approving of and sanctioning the ground assumed by Mr. Livingston, will prove satisfactory. The London Correspondent of the Messrs. COHEN, of Baltimore, also writes that the British government has determined to step between this country and France, in the character of a mediator, and strive to bring about a reconciliation without coming to blows.

The National Intelligencer of Wednesday last. says: "The "Special Message" from the President of the United States, concern ing French Affairs, which seemed to be ex pected yesterday at the Capitol, was not received. It ib yet expected,and conjecture is busy as to its probable import. Some say it will he violent; others, that it will be calm and dignified. Opinions incline to the one or the other of tle.se conjectures, according , as the counsels of the wise and discreet coun sellors, or the rash and foolish ones, of the Prsident, are supposed to predominate at the Palace. "The possibility ofa rapture with France came into discussion upon Mr. BENTON'S Resolutions in the Senate yesterday, but without eliciting nny decided °pillions on the present condition of affairs between the Iwo countries. A Resolution, ofThred by Mr. CLAY on the preceding day, was yesterday adopted in the same body, calling on the President of the United States to communi• rate to the Seunte, if it be not, in his opin ion, incompatible with the public interest, whether, since the termination of the last Congress, any overture, formal or informal, official or unofficial, has been made by the French Government to the Executive of the United States, to accommodate thtkdifficul. ties between the two Governments 'respect ing the execution of the Convention oldie th day of July, 1°31; and particularly whether a despatch from the hoc de Bro glie, the French Minister of Foreign Af fairs, to the French Charge d' Affairs at Washington, was read, and a copy of tt fur• niched by him to the Secretary of State, for the purpose of indicating a mode in which the difficulties might •be removed; and, in the event ()forty such overture hay ing been made, requesting the President to inform the Senate what answer was given to it; and, if a copy of any such despatch were received, that n copy of it be commit nirated to the Senate.

(* - The following• renunciation we ,find in the last Harrisburg Intelligencer: HARRISBURG, Jan. 11, 1836. Ilegry K Stront, , , Esq. In arywer to your enquiry, I have to re mark, that some three or four years prior to the abduction of Morgan, I took the de gree of an Entered Apprentice; attended the lodge, I think, twice, immediately af. ter, and then silently withdrew. In a word, I NEVER have, nor do 1 NOW, consider myself a Mason. Respectfully Yours, Twenty-ei,ght American citizens have been shot at Tampico, in Mexico, by order °fa military court martial, composed of otTi• cers of the Mexican army. It seems that these men, with many others, (130 in all) embarked on the 6th of November, on board the American schooner Mary Jane, Capt. Hall, said to have been chartered or elm plmed by a committee, to convey emigrants to Texas. But when near Tampico, it be came evident that an attack on that city had been designed by Gen. Mehia, and these men were hurried into the ranks of the bel ligerents before they had time to reflect up on the nature of the enterprise. Being cap tured by the Mexican forces, they have been rendered liable to the penalties usual in such cases, in reference to those found bearing arms without authority of any gov ernment. They protested against any de sign to participate in the hostile movements, hut were not permitted to derive any benefit from their disclaimers, nor were they al lowed the privile i ges'of prisoners of war un der the laws of nations. $285,154 98 The New Orleans papers publish the fel lowing, among other letters from the unfor tunate persono who were lately shot at Tam- TA MPICO, Dec. 12th, 1836.

But reflect that the momentary pang which separates temporal and eternal life shall have passed ere this reaches you. To be brief, as the time allot ted me to compose my mind for this event is short, I have only to say, that instead of arriving in Texas a f. eeman, and n t I had supposed when I left you, th^ vesscl was taken to Tampico, and mys.ilf rid cfhp paninns we re compelled to march in arms a gainst a city which I had never seen, and to . shoot down the inhabitants °fa country that had never offended me; rest assured this was an order not very faithfully executed,the con sequence of which was, that a great many prisoners were made, among whom I am now confined under sentence of death, to. he SHOT on Monday morning, at 7 o'clock.

Fl`N - ':—Whatever course you may feel yourself constrained to take with re gard to the nomination of that enemy o political Anti-Masonry Gen. Harrison, it is hoped that you will allow all Anti-Ma sons who may desire it, the use of your columns. 1 therefore request you to in. sert the following remarks:— For some time past, no doubt has exist ed in my mind, that the great object, and certainly the efkct of creating a Harrison party "without distinction of party," was to merge the Anti-Masonic party, and wipe out its name from the political voca bulary. Every movement of the Harrison party confirms that belief. Before the election two of the leading Harrison men in Dauphin county, and pretended Anti-Ma sons, declared that after the election there would be no more of Anti-Masonry ! This if denied is capable of proof. About the same time another Harrison Anti• Mason, who, as is believed has presided at several Harrison meetings, "without distinction of party," wrote to a mason in Philadelphia, that, "we" (the writer and his friends) intend to dropt Anti- Masonry and adopt Harrison. ism." This also we stand prepared to prove. Will the Intelirgencer and the Harrison Delegates to the Anti-Masonic Convention deny it? We ash, so as to i.e advised to give names and Witnesses Since the nomination we see meetings cal led at Pottsville and other places, in pursu ance of the recommendation of the new State Committee, to sustain the late Ma sonic nomination of Harrison—called not as Democratic Anti-Masonrc meetings, hut of all "all those opposed io Martin Van Buren." A noble Anti-Masonic party, tru ly, composed of Masons, Jacks, and Anti- Masons—if Anti• Masons are vet to be found ! But what shows clearly the design of the assassins of Anti• Masonry, is the trencherous call signed Richard T. Leech, Wier, M'Clure and others, assumin ,to be the Democratic Anti-Masonic State Com mittee of correspondence. He says '-their (the Jackson men) only hope of prostrating the administration, of Gov. Ritner is based on the success of t'.-!ir Presidential candidate; And ours of sustain. ;n:- that administration must be upon the success of Harrison and Granger. The annual elections next October cannot be se- pa rated from the Presidential question.— The county tickets will be formed by each party under its appropriate Presidential banner:" .Flere then is the fultplan devel oped by tho,new "State Committee." The administration of Joseph Ritner is not to Ise sustained by A nti.Masorry but by Harrison. ism. The county tickets are not to be ".Anti-Masonic" but "Harrison" tickets ac. cording to the “Presidential banner."!! If such is to he the issue, God grant that i may result in the defeat of Hitrrisonism not as n sword to our enemies, but as a pun ishment to mercenary traitors. Does no every honest Anti-!Meson see to whet a pill• ful conclusion Anti• Masonry is coming? Dwindled, frittered, sunk nod lost in anoth _ et. name. Compelled to listen to the taunt ing sighs of insulting foes, and the sarcastic eulogies of Masonic Harrison friends! Anti• Masons of 1829 and '32!

Address, (post paid,) Samuel Fahnestock, Gettysburg, Pa. January 18, 1836. CIAOUL.A.R. MILK HATS are now generally worn in many Pal; parts ofour country,as well as in Europe, and would doubtless hnve been 11/1010 universally adop ted, but for an objection founded on the fact, that the bodies are stiffened with a compcniitlon which will not allow the perspiration of the 'head to es. cape, in consequence of which, the upper part of the fiat becomes filled with steam, causing head. eche, vertigo, or brain fever; or, at this best, pro ducing a very unpleasant sonsatioa from esteem sive heat. The undersigned is happy in being able to an 4 .; nounco that the objection is entirely oeviated, by= his discovery °fa Composition jar SWening, by whieh the bodies of the Hats are rendered IS ufli ciontly porous to allow the perspiration of the head to pass freely off, which renders the SILK HAT, equally with the Beaver, adopted to the health and comfort of the, wearer, while its decided su periority for beauty and . economy, must obtain for it a universal preference. By the new mode of stiffening, the shape is pre served much more perfect, in consequenc° oftl- - stiffening not being affected by the heat of 111, sun. The IMPROVED ELASTIC POROUS SILI. FIATS, are manufactured (only) by the Subsea • bar, at No. 142 Chesnut street, Philadelphia. For lightness, durability and beauty, they ca, not ho excelled; the prices, at the same time, a‘o most reasonable. Orders for any quantity ofGentlemen's, Youth's and Children's sizes, of the most approved pat terns, promptly executed. The Children's 2 per Crowns which are a very superior and beau. tiful article,cnn be packed in the Youth's or Man'': sizes, without detrimeni to either. TERMS. --Four months credit, for approved so. curity, or Three per cent discount for Cash. Retailers may have the linings stamped with their own names, and thus establish a roput‘tion for selling a very superior article. These hats are greatly superior to all others in warm climates. • WHOLESALE PRICE'S. Men's per dozen $36 00 Youth's Rest Crown 33 00 Do.
