The House then adjourned. The. Bill was very ably and eloquently ad vocated in a sound and argumentative man ner by Messrs. STEVENS, Etna), SPACKMAN, WALE= of Erie, Otiviin and IlAciasoN; _ and opposed at considerable length by Messrs. GARRETiON, T. S. &SIMI, COD/EN 'and BIDLIVii. What the fate of the bill will be iifthe House, I am unable to conjec ture; but I must confess, I entertain some apprehension with regard to its passage.— Should it oven. pass the Hou.e, its passage by the Senate is far from being certain. Things in the Senate wear rather a fa vorable aspect in reference to the passage of the Bill Re-Chartering the Bank of the U. States; and it is now confidently believed, that it will receive the concurrence of that body. The interests of the State impera tively demand the passage of the bill, and surely an enlightened Senate cannot pros trate the interests of this great and growing commonwealth, *merely because Andrew Jackson refused to give his assent to the bill on a former occasion. No. The Senate will act from pure and disinterested motives, regardless of all political considerations, when their and their country's good is de pendent upon the issue. They will act like freemen and the sons of freemen—fearlessly, independently, and in such a manner as will I be most conducive to the interests of the Commonwealth. HARRISBURG, Feb. 1,1830. - Mr.SrEvErts presented two petitions from inhabitants of Berwick and Hamilton town ships, for the erection of a new election dis trict out of parts of those townships. The House resumed the second reading of the bill relative to the Wrightsville, York end' Gettysburg Rail Road, which passed through second reading as reported in Com mittee of the Whole, with the exception of one or two unimportant amendments. An 'effort was made by Mr. GARRETSON, to a mend the bill so as to make Hanover a point which was lost, Yeas 16, Nays 56. It is now entirely at the<liscretion of the compa ny to locate the road as it may be deemed most proper. Some new commissioners were added, whose names I do not now re collect. The Bill for the suppreision of secret so. cieties bound together by secret and unlaw. 'WI oaths, was called up, and postponed until Monday next. o:7in the House of Representatives on Wednesday last, (we learn from the Tele. graph,) the bill to charter a bank at Hones dale, came up, Mr. BIDLACK offered an a. mendment to strike out "Honesdale," and insert "Carbondale," so as to locate the bank at . Carbondale. Considerable humor was excited by the debate on this bill, as both Mr. WOODWARD and Mr. BIDLACE., had heretofore been op posed to "monsters" of all shapes and sizes . Mr. STEVENS said this amendment had sprung from an "ambush," in allusion to a remark of the same kind, used by Mr. Bid. lack in relation to the U. S. Bank, and he opposed it, because time was not allowed to get up "INDIGNATION MEETINGS" against it! Ho was sorry the "Great Mon atm" had spawned so soon; it certainly look ed "dangerous. " The amendment of Mr. Bidlack was lust. In the Senate on Tuesday last,Mr. MIDDLE. cogs presented a petition for the passage of an act to declare the charter of the Wrights• villa, York and Gettysburg rail road coin. pany null and void; also two, praying a char ter for the bank nf the United States. Mr. MiddlecolT, reported an act for the re lief of sundry soldiers and widows B'soldiers of the revolutionary war.

The committee of the Grand Lodge ap pointed to superintend and direct the hction of the Representatives from the city and county of Philadelphia, relative to the Bank or Improvement Bill. he;:ded by Grand Mas. ter Geo. M. Dallas, who declares Masonry to be above every earthly tribunal, appeared in the lobby of the Serrate on Saturday last. and asked to be heard at the Bar. This modest request excited some merriment.— One of the Senators said he presumed that they did not wish to be heard at the bar of Cm House, for they had already been heard there. A general smile reminded the In qui,itors that some oft heir faces were 14 toil. iar. The gmate, after receiving the pro ceedire,s, concluded that it was not best to let the I aquisitorsappear at the bar; lest they might, like troublesome guests, assume privileges that did not belong to them. Masonry above (he People. "MA• 7 ONRY IS ABOVE TRY: LBW:MATURE -ABOVE THE JUDICIAL TRIBUNALS OF TUE COUNTRY-ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION ABOVE THE POWERS OF CONCH ESS-AND ABOVE THE PEOPLE!!!!" ~~~~P~~~ The above was the opinion of Grand Nies. ter Dallas expressed before the committee when called on to testify; and for this reason he refused to answer their questions. Look to it Freemen. Is there no power sb-ive the Loire? No tribunal that can force from this engine of crime and co~rupti >n, the means by which this old harlot, keeps beneath her feet all the institutions of our country? Are there no means by which the bloody curtain can be rent, and thus expose to public gaze, her follies, her enorm:ties and her crimes? Will you tamely submit to this open violation of your country's privil eges, and allow under the cloak of religion and charity, the transaction of the most hell ish crimes; and then have it cast in your teeth that there is no remedy? Has it come to this? and to back it, our legislature threatened, by oath bound slaves, with mobs, if they persist in doing the peo. pie's Go on ye worthy brothers in crime; you are but hastening your own tall. And like the tall of Babylon, "there will not be ore stone left upon another."—Huntingdon Jour. Anti-Masons say, that Masons swear to protect vac!' other in crime, "Mus DER AND TREASON NOT EXCEPTED," th , y put the is• sue on the evidence of Masons under oath. The Masons will not testify. Does not this prove the truth of the assertion.—lbid. From the Pittsburg Gazette. John Q. Adams & George Wolf. We publish to-day the letter of the ex• Governor, and an extract from the ex-Pres ident's fourth letter to Colonel Stone. The ex Governor is acting in direct op position to the doctrines of M r. Adams, and certainly no man lives whose opinions are entitled to more weight, upon such subjects, than the last named gentleman. The Penn , ylvania Advocate, a paper cer tainly not partial to Anti•masonry, one in deed which ridicules it upon all occasions, contains, this morning, an article which we believe puts the refusal of George Wolf to testify upon its true ground—a conscious• ness that his conduct cannot bear investiga- tion. Dark and inaccessible as is the prison house of Masonic secrets, enough has been already ascertained to show that George Wolf has great reason to shrink from inves tigation. The citizens of Allegheny court ty will not soon forget the memorable letter of our man, John Wallace, to his excellen cy, in which he says—"l am a devoted Jackson man, a Democrat, a Royal Arch Mason, and your friend, as my conduct as a Judge of an election district substantially proms." The yeomanry of Allegheny will not soon forget this infamous letter, nor will they forget that after it was received by George Wolf, he appointed its author a Justice of the Peace. This they will not forget, and they will readily believe, as the Advocate says, that nothing hut the consciousness of guilt prevents him from availing himself of the privilege of clearing himself by his own oath. Gen. Wm. Marks, Mr. Schuyler of Ly coming, and other good men, adhering Masons, have not refused to testify : why then should George Wolf? No other rea son can be assigned, that: that assigned by the Advocate of this morning, "conscious. ness of guilt." Extract from John Q. Adams' 4th Letter. "The second objection to the promise of the entered apprentice's obligation, is its universality. The candidate swears that he will never reveal any of the undefined "arts,parts,or points oft he mysteries or Free- Masonry, to any person under the canopy of heaven." This promise, like the adminis tration of the oath, is, in its terms, contrary to the law of the land. The law of this,and of every civilized country, makes it the duty of every citizen to testify the whole truth of facts deemed by legislative bodies,orjudicail tribunals, material to the issue of the inves. tigation belbre them. It is also the duty of a good citizen to denounce and reveal to the authorities established to execute the laws against criminals,any secret crimes of which he has in any Manner acquired the know ledge. Now there is nothing in the arts, parts, or points of the mysteries of Free- Marfonry,which.in a trial ofa judicial cause, or in an investigation ofa legislatiVe assem bly, may not be justly deemed material to th:, issue before the court or the legislature. Of its materiality, the judges, or the legis lamas, have the exclusive right to decide 11'o witness called before a court of justice, or an authorized commute of a legislature, can refuse to answer any question Ind to lam by the court or the committee, on the ground I that he deems it immaterial to the trial be- I fore them. This principle becomes more I glaritedy obvious when applied to the prom ise never to reveal the secrets of a brother Mason, when communicated as such, con tained in the Master Mason's oath. Rut the principle is identically the same. The en tered apprentice promises never to reveal to any person, under the canopy of heaven t ehat which the laws of his country may, the next day after he makes the promise, make it his duty to reveal to any court of justice before which he may b! serum aned to appear, or to nny committee of the legislature of the slate in which he resides, or of the union The promise is therefore unlawful,hy its uni versality. 'The simple question I take to he this: I suppose a Free-Mason to be summoned be• fore a legislative committee or assembly, or judicial tiihonal, to testify. Is he or is he not bound to answer any interrogatory put to him by their authority, and which they require him to answer, respecting the fBlen tial secrets of his craft? If be is, how can these secrets be kept, and of what avail are all the oaths administered to Masonic can didates, whether with or without penalty-1— U he is not, then the obligation of the Ma "onic oath supersedes the obligation of the law of the land. And if the Masonic oath of secresy is paramount to the law of the land, with regard. to mysteries of the craft, where is the principle which restores the supremacy of the law to require the disclo sure of Masonic crimes? The Masonic oath makes no distinction between the secrets— the promise is to keep them all. The dec laration of the master, that there is nothing unlawful in the oath, makes no di,crimina• tion—it applies to all, or it applies to none." From the Pitis' , urg Gai.r.oo DE3T orn ATIr A NTF•7II SONIC MEETING At Florence, Washington county, January 25. Avcorthne: to previous notice, a largo and ro. spectalde meeting was held in the Florence Acade my. The meeting oas organized by rho appoint ment ofJo,eph Kerr, President, J. Proudfit, Alex. Duncan and Matthew Jlillcr, (of Burial° town. ship,) Vice Presidents, and Samuel Livingston and J din M'Com hi, Secretaries. On motion of Peter Livingston, a committee of ten was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The following per sons were appointed said committee—Peter Liv ingstol, JI/111013 Sloan, William Criswell, David Dunne.), Samuel Livingston, Winn) Tucker, James Duncan, John M'Comhs, J. Donaldson, (of Smith township,) and Dr. Win. NVeods, who, after retiring for a short time, presented a preamble and resolutions, Odell, rifler havrog been sonar. ately road, were adopted by tho meeting, without a dissenting. coke. Whereas, The National Anti-Masonic Conven lion held at Baltimore, in 1831, did unamm-usly resolve, that another National Con%rention should be held in 1835. Which resolution being fully ratified and confirmed by the State Convention of the 4th of March,und the State Committee instruc ted to issue a call for an Anti. Masonic State Con vention,lo a.ilemble at Darrisburg,for the purpose of electing Delegates to a National Convention. And, Whereas, this call was duly issued, under, and t i p obedience to which, all the Deloga'es sent, to the State Convention of the 14th of December were,nr should have been chosen. And, whereas, a majority of the Delegates of said Convention have violated the call under which they were as. sembled; have not acted in good faith toward their constituents; but have forfeited the confidence in them repnned, as appears evident from several of their most important acts. Firet.—The production ora falsified call,plainly ndieat' rig a design of removing the ancient land marks, and breaking up the established order of he party, which has long been received and acted mon, not only by the public agents,but also by the marty itself. S'econd.—Tho refusal to hoar the instructions of the Delegates, clearly evincing an intention to disregard the voice of their constituents, and a determination not to act as the responsible agents of the people, but: as the yeople themselves. Third.—Ae by the sub•titutiou of one member for another, the political complexion of a Conven tion may bo very seriously changed, and the busi. ness of the people transferred from the responsible agents of their own choice, into the hands of am- bitious and designing men. We therefore regard such sul:rtitution as unjust in the extreme, and consider it a favor winch the Convention had no right to confer, and which the Attorney General bud no right to ask. Fourth.—ln refusing to send Delegates to a National Convention, but proceeding to nominate a candidate for the Presidency, selected not fr nun the ranks of tho party, but who, from his own let. ters, evidently appears to bo either ignorant or averse to the grand and fundamental principles thereof. Tho Convention therefore assumed an authority which the people never bestowed, and rendered a service which they cannot recognize or receive. And, Whereas, we believe that the Convention, whatever may have been their intention or design, have pursued a course contrnry to the best inter ests of the cause—have mixed a cup, which, if quaffed, must forever work the quietus of the puro and patriotic spirit of distinctive Anti.Masonry— must blast forever the fair hopes, and chill the ex ertions alba friends of equal rights—must check that free inquiry which has already penetrated the dark gloom of Masonic secrecy, and shaken the deep foundations of Masonic intrigue. Therefore, Resolved, That we consider the pro ceedings of the late Convention to ho such as the people cannot sanction or approve; such as they ought not to receive or act upon, and must, of no. cossity, be null and void. Resolved, That this mooting highly approve of the course pursued by the minority ofthe_ late Convention, for their firm adherence to the pure doctrines of Anti-Masonry; for their refusal to re cognize any other controlling principle; for their prompt rejection of the idea of making, it a second ury consideration, and for their full determination not to support that man for the Presidency, who has told the world the principles of Anti-Masonry, if carried out to their legitimate object, "would he the parent of mischiefs, infinitely greater than that it designed tribure." Resolved, That wo consider the substitution of a now name, or till introduction of now principles fur political action—those to he considered us para mount to its original ones—as having a direct ten dourly to destroy Anti. Masonry, as the party can exist no longer than it continues to be animated by the principles which brought it into being. Resolved, That we regard tine institution of Free-Masonry as a foul conspiracy against the laws of God and Man, which ought to be prostra ted. Resolved, That we will, perseveringly, goon to the patri.,tic path of distinctive Anti—llasomv, in esiablishingthe pure doctrines of equal rights and the supremacy of the laws, which are its original and fundamental principlos—and in opposition to the abandonment of our national organization. Resolved, 'flint we have undiminished confi dence in Joroph Ritner, whose integrity and firm ness wo cmisldora saki guarantee that ho will not abandon the principles on which hu has been elec ted. And whereas it is of the greatest Myortance to the admmistration of the government, that the people should repose the utmost confidence in the officers 11-wrenr—therefore ReWred, Ti n t James Todd, F.sq., by his con temptible trickery, artifice, and management, in the late Convention, has destroyed that confidence which the rfople should place in their public agents—therefore this meeting would respectfully. but earnestly., recommend to Governor Ffitner hit dismissal from the Attorney Generalship, as an act duo to the feelings of the people, and, as his retention in office 'mist prove injurious to the in terests and harmony of the Anti-Masonic party in Pennsylvania. Ranked, That we heartily approve the hold. in' of a National Anti-Masonic Convention, for the purpo4e of selecting candidates for the Presi. dency and Vice Presidency of the United States, who may unequivocally sustain our principles.— And, even shou'd we not succeed in their election, yet still, wo v ill have the pleasing reflection, that although dereated, it will have been in contending for our principles. Rego!red. That a bile we earnestly request the Anti-Masons of the several townships and bo rim 2 l.4 or our own county, we also respectfully atibeit those of our neighboring counties, to hold public 111P-PtinZs, in which they may espreYS their opirions freely, and consult maturely upon the course to he pursued in the present C 1151.; and we doubt not that they will .express their sentiments is such a manner as will evince to the world Olaf they arc not set prepared to pas in silent proe ms •inn to the funeral of those prihcip!es they have so lorto and so earnastly supported —that they are not yet willing t• at the pure spirit of Anti-Mason ry should he other vanquished by avowed oppo. rents, or str:mgled in the house of pretended 'riends.

We never saw moretatxcitement in a de liberate assembly than was manifisted in the House of Representatives on Friday, during the speeches of Mr. Adams and Mr. Wise. The vexed question of the Three Million amendment was the irritating sub ject. The discussion was commenced by Mr. Cambreleng, who commented with great force and indignation upon a state ment appearing in a morning paper, the Telegraph, condemning his conduct upon that occasion, which Mr. C. pronounced to be false. He concluded by saying that both parties in the House should unite to vindicate that body from the aspersion which had been cast upon it in another.— This was pronounced in a marked and em phatic manner, and excited much attention. Mr. Adams immediately rose, and for two hours he kept the House in a state of more complete and thorough excitement than ei• ther body has witnessed for many years.— He committed himself at once and dee:sive. ly to hostility with the Senate, taking even a higl or ground than had ever been assum ed by the partizans of the adrdnistration in condemning that body. He threw with• out reserve the entire blame of the loss of that memorable bill upon its majority, and in a strain of indignant invective he denoun• ced the allusion in a late debate to the House as "insolence" which the first legis. lativo body in the land should not be asked to hear. Against Mr. Webster he was particularly severe,and he seemed to throw his whole soul into his words when—allu ding to that gentleman's declaration in a late speech that ho would not have voted otherwise had the enemy been thundering at the gates of the Capitol—he said "there was but one step beyond su-h an expression of sentiment, and a most natural one-ton!— It would be only for a man who could utter such a sentiment, to go himself over to that enemy and help to batter down the Capi tol !" Vo'never saw any thing produce such a strong sensation as these extraordinary words. The administration members in all parts of the house gave.way to a ht rst of applause, which was instantly reprobated by the Chair. Mr. Polk, in the greatest ex citement, starting to , his feet and violently using his hammer, declaring at the same time "that for the last ten years,- and ever since the formation of the Government, there had never been such an in , tance of' disorder and contempt of the rules of the House." . A fact in which he was joined by several of the old members crying out, "no, no, never, never.'" Mr. Arlarns with incre 15'11 vehemence continued in the same strain fir abut two hours, and ended by movino for a Commit tee to inquire into the loss of the bill. As a specimen of Mr. Adams' power,this remarkable speech was one of the very finest he ever uttered—being, distinouished for pointed sarcasm and eloquent invective —and at the same time marked with all the speaker's felicity of language and variety o f illustration. His manner was highly an imated and impressive, and it was listened to by the House with a degree of high wrought attention, which has never been surpassed on any occasion. It was evident that the whole impulse and feeling of party connection was laid open to its core, rind ev ery member seemed fully and nakedly put upon his allegiance. Mr. ‘Vebster was present almost from the commencement of the debate, and the I.th by was cro%tded with Senaters and ether distinguished individuals. Mr. Webster's presence in the Heusi- created great inter est, and many noxious and curious eyes .were continually turned to the right hand door where he was seated; but no one who saw that dark brow and deep set eye but must have felt assured of his abundant pow er to sustain himself under any agressiun. Mr. Wise showed much of his sonthorn chivalry in rushing to the fight after Mr. Adams had concluded. He took WI the de fence of his pairty against their new and ter rible assailant, with an alacrity and vigor of defence which soon abandoned defensive, for the most gallant and annoying species of offensive warfare. He selected Mr. Cam breleng who sat, immediately before him,as his object, and again and again, despite the interposition of the Speaker, he recurred to the attack, addressing him in the most pointed manner by name, and frequently shaking his finger in his thee. Mr. Cam hreleng bore it all very good-diumoredly,and frequently, in reply to his severe personal interrogatories, promised to the house a full and satisfictory explanation. In the im petuosity of Mr. Wise's eloquence, in his vast but ill-directed power,in his furious ex ertions of immense mental strength, and in the consternation and alarm which he occa sioned among all ranks, he resembled noth ing so much as an infuriated bull broke loose in a spanish circus—now goring Mr. Cam broleng--then tossing Mr. Beardsley into the air--trampling Mr. Adams to the dust —and again with nostrils distended, bent n-ek, and unlifted tail, dashing in full tilt a against the Speaker himself—and extending to all a species of wild fear not unmingled with amusement. To the Editor of the Star and Republican Banner. ••• •••••d, January 13, 1336. DEAri Sin:— According to promise, I will now try to ascertain "How far the accusations, as held forth by the Lodges and their supporters against Anti-Ma sons in general, have proved just, or libellous;" and I shall, in making the enquiry, strictly adhere to the rule, given by Him, who could not err—viz: "By their works ye shall know them." The charges daily reiterated against Anti-Masons, as a body, from the Le Roy Convention down to this date, may all be comprised under the following head: " Want of candor, honesty, and sincerity in their po litical profession." And the imputations thrown out against every conspicuous, or active Anti Mason, by every press in reach of the cable-tow,. amount to a charge of "dishonorable and dishonest political con duct, for the promotion of private interest." I do not for a moment hesitate to declare, and challenge proof to the contrary, that the above accu sations and charges, when brought against Political Anti-Masons as a Body, ARE SLANDEROUS, HIGHLY SLANDEROUS! This is proved by their addresses and resolutions adopted at their public meetings. For there you find their language uniformly as follows: We consider Free-Masonry a moral and political evil of the greatest magnitude, we therefore oppose it, morally, by private conversation and through our, purposely erected presses; and polilically,at the polls. We know that there are more evils in the land than Free-Masonry, and if we caw counteract them thro' the medium of our elective franchise, we shall not neglect to do so; provided we can do it in consistency with our duties as Political Anti-Masons. But, as we are convinced that Free-Masonry is the greatest evil of all, so we shall never move neither to the right nor to the left, but keep straight on in pursuit of it. till not one of their guarded, aristocratic dens of egotism, blasphemy and sanctioned,yea justified mid night murder defiles this fair land of liberty. We go for principles not men; not the preferment of this man. not the downfall of that man, is our object. What we have labored for, what we always shall labor fur, is the triumph of the constitution and the laws over the usurpation of individual as well as over whole so cieties, We strive for the enjoyment of equal rights to all. "Oh," says the objector "their declarations are fair enough; but have they acted in accordance with them? Have not their delegations in many a-aunties, yea in sonic States—for example in New Ys_rk, de viated from them and settled amalgarnatiortickets? Have they not leagued with National Republicans, Whigs, Bank-men, Clay-men, Anti-Jackson, Anti- Wolf &Auti-Muldenburg men,as opportunity offered; and have put even declared Adhering Masons on these bargain and sale tickets? Yea, have they not in their late State Convention, only a few months ago, admitted an Adhering Mason into their body; Weld open intercourse with Anti-Van Burenmen, even with Masonic 'Pugs; and nominated W. H. HA FIFIIt-ON, a man who has declared, that he can not, and will not act according to their professed principles, hold tog them "unconstitutional," and more mischievous than eves Free Masonry? And have they not, to cap the climax, and to produce their inconsistency and, I ask your pardon, their hypocrisy to all the world iu its nakedest nakedness, adding a string of resolutions to their nomination of that "excellent patron of Politi cal Anti-Masonry," Wm. H. Harrison, and after forming an electoral ticket jointly with the Masonic Whigish Harrison Convention; in which resolutions they repeat the principal part of their, by you reci ted, honest (1 !) professions, and wherein this, for sooth, DEDIOCLIATIC ANTI-MASONIC Convention in vite their political brethren, in this and other states to adhere as strictly and rigidly to the distinctive principles of DC 510 C ATIC Anti-Masonry!—acoitling all coalitions and combiluitions with other parties, hos tile to the objects of their organization!-0 shame where is thy blush?! Stop' stop, friend! Of the Pennsylvania Democrat ic Anti-Masonic State Convention, so called, of Dec. Id; Inn; Anon. We now speak of Political Anti- Masons as a body.—And I declare again, (and ask for proof to the contrary,) that they have, when and where in existence, uniformly and strictly acted, in word & decd,in honest conformity to their professions. The members of county and state delegate meetings, convened under the name of Anti- Masons,have some times done,by a majority, what you have statcd;they have joined in unhallowed union with Masonic Whi7s National Republicans, Federals, Anti-Jaekson and Anti-Van Buren-men; yea in some instanees they have even leagued with Jackson and Van Buren De mocrats (so called) and have put adhering, Masons; moral Anti-Masons and Jacks on their tickets. But these delegates, elected or self-notainated, no matter which, were withing more than couspicuonsindividu els, acting in the Anti-Masonic ranks (cne or other of which I shall notice in a full wing commimic-ition ) And what did the party, which they represented : the Political Anti-Masdie= as a body, do? Did they reto l d the acts of inconsistency and political d:shonesty committed be these individuals, by supporting. such mongrel or amalgamation tickets? They, On - I he con trary, in more than one instance, indignaetly turned round, and supported, by a majority, the oppn,itn: ticket.

We feel convinced that a re formation in regard to the disgusting practice is 90 desirable, dictated by gentility as well as mo rality, that it demands a vigorous exertion to suppress so despicable a habit. The cause par ticularly recommends itself to persons of our ago and situation: conscious moreover of the necessi ty of a prompt and vigorous co-operation with those who in different parts of our country have formed themselves into associations, for the pur pose of directing the attention of the public to the impropriety and immorality of an excessive use of Tobacco, and consequently eliciting their influence for t o discouragement of the evil, and fur preventing the youth yet unhabituatod to it, from commencing the disgusting practice Therefore, Rest)'red, Ist.

We arc not surprised at Mr. Harper; it is the real spirit of the Lodge! HARRISBURG, Jan. 27, 18313. Mr. POIILSON.—Both houses adjourned this morning directly after meeting, to at. tend the funeral of Mr. Trimble, late Depu ty Secretary. The "Reporter" here, is en• deavoring to create the impression that the death of this octogenarian, was caused by his dismissal from office, because he labored under the "sin of not being an Anti- Mason." Nothing could be more unfair or ungenerous. His death was caused by a fall on the pave ment, in returning from the late democratic County meeting, late at night. Besides,ho was not dismissed from office for any politi cal view, hut because of incanacity arking from great age. He was in his dotage. The Harrisburg Reporter, with a spirit dead to Shame as it is lost to truth, at tempts to charge the death of Mr. Timms, the late Deputy Secretary, upon "the Anti- Masonic administration, who singled out this individual as one of the curliest victims of its proscriptive policy." To which it adds— "in the absence of the stimulous of the duties he had so long been accustomed to dis charge, he pined away and languished."— Now the Reporter, and every person here knows, that Mr. TRIMBLE died of severe bruises received by a fall. This we can prove by his physician, and all who saw him. We would not wish to say one word on the subject of his being removed from office, but the disgracefull article in the Reporter justi, ties us in stating, (what is well known here) that in consequence of his age he had for sometime been a perfect supernumary in the office, and if not an impedimeut,wns certain. ly useless, besides, he had been in office ever since he was twenty one years 111(1,04-nine years) and amassed n handsome estate.— Pennsylvania Telegraph. THE MASH OFF! OzrThe object of the Harrison Whig party is apparent from the following article taken from the f'Berwick Gazette," a Whig paper, which bears at its head the names of HARRISOD.I and GR,INOEII. Anti-Masons will no longer ho deceived, but go against Whig amalgamations:-,. THADDEUS STEvENS, in addressing Gen. Harrison, says that the Whig force in Penn. sylvama amounts to 10 or 12.000, and the Anti• Masonic at 80,000. Stich is the.sen• timent either of t: fad or a knave. Every candid and well is drined politician, whether a Whig or Anti- Mason, estimates the Whig vote of Pennsylvania at (35,000, and the Anti• Masonic nt 30 or 35,000. • Mr. Ste yens probably calculates that all who voted fiir Ritner(except Masons)are A nti- Masonic; they are no doubt morally but not politically so. The Whigs supported Ritner as n W hig, and not as an Anti-Mason. If the Anti- Masons thus attempt to Anti•Masnnize the Whigs of Pennsylvania, it behooves every Whig editor to give the alarm, and call upon Its political friends to support their cherish. ed flag, and thus save Whig,isin from being immersed in the pool of Ant i •Masonry. So far we have yielded every thing to the Anti Masons, to save the State from ruin; we are also willing to make any concession (not compromising principles) in order to defeat the nominees of the Baltimore convention. but our principles and our name we hold sacred, and never will sufli!r the former to be compromised or the latter to be slandered Krlngratitude is the worst principle of the human heart. To cap the climax of this Whig Editor's impu dence, ho sends his paper to the gentleman aims_ od, endorsed, "THADDEUS STEVENS, Esq. Chair man of the holy Inquisition, Ha rrisburg!" The article copied will doubtless arrest the at. tension of all who sincerely desire the prosperity of Anti-Masonry. The real object and intention of the forced nomination of HARRISON, is too apps. rent to escape the observation of the friends of cor rect principles. It thus seems that the Whigs supported Ritnor as a Whig—his administration must therefore be supported upon Whig principles, and not "Anti-Masonic!" and that the nomination of Harrison must be concurred in by the Anti* Masons, if Ritner's Administration is to be sus tained, or "it behooves every Whig Editor to call on his political friends to save Whigism from be ing immersed in the pool of Anti. Masonry!" And yet this precious disciple of the Lodge is willing to yield every thing, their "cherished flag!" their "sacred name!" and their "dour principles!" Co the Anti-Masons, provided they drop their name, abanilon their principles, and unite with Masonic Whigism in carrying out a scheme matured in the Lodge, (or the destruction of a party which has hitherto avoided all amalgamations with the scr vile tools of Masonry! The proposition, we agree, is lihoral—quito liberal—equal to the tender mer cies of the Wolf who devoured its prey out of "compassion's sake!" well becoming this modern Don Quixotto, who will never, after all his kind ness, permit his "dear principles" to be "com promised," or his "sacred name" to be 'slandered!' Wo hope no ono will* ever suspect the Editor of the "Gazette" of being, after such a display of his sense, "either a FOOL or a KNAVE!" An old adage truly says, it requires a noise man to be either. CANAL COMMISSIONERS. The Governor bas appointed the following gentle men to compose the new board of Canal Commission MOs SULLIVAN, Esq. of Butler county. JOSEPH SMITH, Esq. of Philadelphia city. COI. JAMES D. PAXTON, of Adams county. APPRAISERS OF DAMAGES. Ile has also appointed the following gentlemen to be appraisers of Damages:— Gen.JAcon HxnsitnrAN,of Lancaster county. Gon.Jostran DICKERSON,Of Washington co. DAVID MANN, Esq. of Bedford county. THE RELIEF DILL. tr-J..The passage of this Bill by the House of Representatives of this State, has been the cause of much excitement among those demagogues who are ever ready to sacri fice the best interests of the People and the State upon the unhallowed altar of party! The great "Globe" first led off, and is fol lowed by every little "party" cur th:it can raise a whine! Every one suspected of be ing in favor of the Bill, are declared to be "bought by the Bank," and the best men of their party,who are not disposed to let their party feelings blind them to the best inte rests of their State and her valuable insti tutions, are openly named and denounced as the "purchased tools of the monster!" that they had "better hang themselves," or "cut their throats," than vote for a measure so important in all ita bearings—a measure that will relieve the people of a large por tion of their heavy burthens, complete our Public Improvements, and place the great est of all blessings, the means of Education, within the reach of the poor man's child!— But we have reason to hope and believe, that there are those in the Senate who will not be influenced by the base calls of party; that their patriotism will even lead them to sacrifice party upon the altar oitheir coun. try's good. THE SECRET OUT! KrThe I - hrrishurg "Chronicle" has le the "Cat out of the Bag!" It says, if the present Bill for relieving the People of the Taxes, completing the public works, and es tablishing a General System of Education without resorting to unnecessary Taxa- Lion, passes the Senate, it will establish the administration of Joseph Ritner so firmly in the affections of TRE PEOPLE that it will he impossible to defeat it at the next elec. lion! that the measure is calculated to make the administration &POPULAR ONE! Well, friend Hughy, we are glad you have let "out the Secret!" Ground to the dust by a late corrupt rind profligate administration, it will now be a great relief to the people to learn, that a measure has been proposed which, if adopted, will unclasp the iron hand of TAXA.. Troiv,and replenish the coffers of the Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic and the Labor er—and they rally around the ad ministration of the OLD FARMER, with the same zeal which actuated thorn in the days of Simon Snyder.

In the list of the appoin!ments for York county will be seen the name of JAMES R. ItEttx Esq. for Register. The appointment of this veteran Democrat will be received where he is known, and particularly in this county, with approbation. Mr. R. was one of the active and efficient supporters of Si mon Snyder and his administration, and has always been an unwavering supporter of Democracy and Anti-Masonry. His cir cumstances, like those of Mr. Boileau, and his impaired health, will render the appoint ment to him, truly gratifying, as a reward for political integrity and services, and a support in the decline of health and life. THE RELIEF BILL. The Masonic presses which blubber so much about the "Monster," are very careful to keep the fact from the people, that it will relieve them annually of more than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, that lies now to be paid directly out of their pockets, as will be seen by the following statement. State Tax, Tax for school purposes, Interest on $2,500,000 bonus at five per cent, 0 , -TOTAL, $505,000 This is no small sum to be left in the pock ets of the Farmers' and Mechanic's of Penn• sylvania, every year, by doing an act that will otherwise contribute to the welfare and prosperity of the Commonwealth,and render "New York tributary to Pennsylvania"!!! EXTRAORDINARY YOUTHFUL DEPRAVI TY.—On Tuesday the 12th inst. in the town of Hanover, in this county, as two lads, one a son - of Mr. Hiram Smith aged 6 years, and the other a son of Mr. Abner Blodgett, aged 4 years, were snow-balling together, the latter became irritated, and told the other that if he threw another snow-ball he would cut his head off, or kill him, and another being sent he ran up to his antagonist, and stabbed him in the left side with a large pocket knife. The wound was so severe that the boy became immedi ately speechless, in which situation he re mained up to Saturday last, the time at which we were informed of the event, and but faint hones are entertained of his recov ery. What a theme for reflection on the depravity of human nature does this act af ford. A boy four years old thrusting a deadly weapon into the bosom of a play mate !—Fredonia Censor. The Journal du Havre states positively that a company of American and French . Capitalists in Paris and New York, is al ready formed for the purpose of establishinv a lino of steam packets between Havre and New York. INDIANA.—The Legislature of Indiana has passed a bill creating a loan of ten mil lions of dollars, to complete her unfinished Canals and Rail Roads. The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette saws: "The Globe is this week quite noisy about the U. S. Bank. There is a laughable st)- ry connected with the proceedings of the Globe, in this matter, which we mean to tell next week." GOOD 'NFAWSI Or-We learn verbally from Harrisburg, that the RELIEF BILL passed its second reading in the Senate on Saturday last, by a vote of 21 to 12! OTIVe extremely regret that, from causes unknown, we have not heard from our Harrisburg Correspondent since Mon day lasi.

It is almolst useless for the subscriber to re mark that this is the cheapest work ever offered The simile fact of the number of pages being near twelve hundred, and the price only three dollars, speaks for itself. The public may look upon this as the commencement of an entorprizo to furnish them with works of fiction by the most celebra. ted authors, printed in a beautiful manner, on fine paper, at a price that will at once defy tom. petition, and place it in the power ofovory person to possess a library of novels, at an extremely low rate. The advantage of transmission by mail is one that will not bo overlooked by non. residents of large cities. The publisher thinks, and ho presumes that the public will agree with him, that it is better to issue the works of each author, in series, at a stated price, than to publish a continuous work at so much per annum; for by this arrangement,thoy may subscribe to the works of ono author, and reject another—not being ob• liged to pay for that which they do not want.
