S'L'ATE RIGHTS.—The cement of the Union, thepalladium of our Liberties. As a SOVEREIGN STATE, we will not permit any IN TERFERENCE in our policy—no matter by whom attempted, no mat terfrom whence it may emanate. The• Harrisburg Chronicle. o::rThe stand taken by this paper since it has passed into the hands of Mr. GUYEn, cannot fail to command the admiration of 411ii , ho have the best interests of the Corn. rnod‘imilth at heart. Although bearing at -fits mast-head the names of men to whom we, and we believe a majority of the people of Pennsylvania are opposed, yet the sentimente breathed throughout its articles, with but 'few .oxceptions, are such that cai,not but . elicit a ready response from every friend of the present State Administration. The Anti administration party are determined to oppose every measure calculated to pro mote Pennsylvania interests whilst the Gov ernment is in the hands of a political oppo ent. They have adopted for their motto af'we cannot govern, WE WILL RUIN me STATE!" Not so, however,with the 44Chroni ele." /t makes the rights and the best in terests of Pennsylvania the first and para. mount of its duties, although governed by a political opponent. Like certain indepen dent Senators, the Chronicle is for the WEL FARE and HAPPINESS and PROSPERITY of our beloved Commonwealth; and we heartily join with it in opposing the interests of all, either in or out of the State, who are now, or may hereafter endeavor to retard, in the least, her prosperity, or trample upon her rights. We are, in short, with the Chroni cle, for STATE RIGHTS. We commend the following articles from the Chronicle to the attention of Pennsyl. .vaniana:— • "The world is governed too much," but it is the wild's fault—they who submit to laws made by those who were never consti tuted lawgivers, deserve to be in vassalage. Pennsylvania has now a population near ly one half of that which all the States to gether had at the birth of American Inde pendence. Pennsylvania has becomo a na tion. She has her rights, her people are industrious, enterprising, honest and intelli gent—they understand their own business, and know how to govern themselves--they will not submit to be governed by others— they think that being on the spot they are enabled to know their own interests better than other persons an hundred miles oil: They value States rights, and believe the best way of preserving those rights inviola bfe, is to resist all interference of other states or other governmente.in Pennsylva nia matters. Let every Pennsylvanian who has spirit enough to look with pride on the character and resources of his native State, make Pennsylvania interests the polar star of his politics, let him oppose any and eve• ry man or set of men who will permit Penn sylvania to be governed by people of other states. Let the mottoofevery freeman be STATES RumTs, and before long we will bury in ob• livion the adage, that "the world is govern ed too much." Pennsylvania has been called the Key stone of the Federal Arch. Her extent of fertile soil=her intelligent, enterprising, in dustrious population—her mineral wealth, and other internal resources, entitle her to that proud appellation. But has she held that station among the states of the Union —had the weight and influence in the court cifs of the nation, that her high standing ti tle would imply? She has not. And when we recur to the fact that she has always tamely submitted to follow the counsels, obey the dictations, and in some measure pursue the policy suggested .by interested rivals, one can scarcely resist the suspicion that it has been applied to her,rather in de. rision, than sober earnestness, by her ambi discerninff sisters. Shall Penrsylva• nia then, entitled as she is, to be the centre of our political system, be set away out as a planet of the fourth or fifth magnitude? That time was, but is no more. She is be ginning to feel and know her giant strength, and no treacherous Delila will again be per nutted to clip the locks in which it lies. It is the interest of every State to main. tain the rights of the States. The Southern States have within their own borders power. ful reasons why centralism or consolidation should not be established. Let the rights of Pennsylvania be trampled on, and every State in the Union will have domestic cause to mourn the day. Let men in every State oppose those who endeavor to array State against State. The glass Globe at Washington, is too brittle to stand a contest with the people of Perupylvania. "Pennsy/vania will not be permitted to Legitlate for the whole Union." Such is the expression of the bantling "Portland Jelfereonits," by its sponsor the "Globe," :,ting the greet State Bank of Pennsyl• lately incorporated. We say to the Glabe that neither it nor the Jeflbrsonian tdiell legislate or dictate to Pennsylvania. • ltNiristagefPcunsylvania you - son now why THE GETTYSBURG STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. the Bank was opposed,—you see how alive certain persons are to the great benefits which will result to Pennsylvania from the establishment of the Bank, and how they rc• gret that Pennsylvania has had courage and sense enough to maintain her own interests, foreign dictation to the contrary notwith standing. Mr. Globe and Mr. Portland Jeffersonian, pray read the 12th command. ment, "mind your own business," we can at• tend to ours, though we are dutch. One of the strongest objections urged a- gainst the charter of the Bank by the State, and upon which its enemies descant with great vehemence, is, that it will control the politics of the State, and enslave its free cit izens. Those who ascribe to the Bank this po tent influence, and deal in these fearful pre dictions, pay but a poor compliment to the integrity and patriotism of the yeomanry of Pennsylvania, when they, in effect assert that they may be bought with the Bank's gold, for the suppsition that those who manage and control the bank will certainly be corrupt and designing men; and that they will exert all the power they possess to the uttermost stretch to govern our elections— how will they effect their purpose Will the Bank use its gold to purchase votes? Is it true, as implied by the fears of those agitators, that the farmers and mechanics, who compose four•fifths of the voters of this commonwealth, stand ready to barter their liberty for filthy lucre, and are only waiting for a purchaser? It is a base slander, a libel on the people.—Harrisburg Chron. (KrThe Pittsburg "Democrat," another opposition paper, holds the following patri otic language: UNITED STATES BANK.—AB a PM/Sy/. vanian, one who rejoices in its prosperity, and hails events auspicious to its interest with unqualified satisfaction, we cannot re press our exultation at the passage of this Bank Bill, attended, as we conceive it to be, with benefits of renmense importance to every class of our fellow citizens. We do not re fer to the positive advantages which it con fers on the great systems of internal im provement and general education,and the va rious other public works to whose advance ment it extends a liberal hand; but we al lude more particularly to the great impulse it will give to the commercial, manufactur• mg, and agricultural interests, whose means of extending their spheres or operations will be augmented—and consequently result in the increased activity of businev, and an improved condition of things. We are so sincerely impressed with the good etnets that we expect to flow from this Bank, that we cannot forego the pleasure of adverting to them, nor evade the duty of undeceiving some who have been deluded by the maniac ravings of the profligate and vindicitive bigot whose mind is not susceptible of improve. ment, or whose prejudices are rendered fiercer and more inexorable by time. icrThe Susquehanna "Register," an other Democratic paper, takes the following noble view of the stand taken by MIDDLE coFr, PENROSE, and others, in favor of Penn sylvania interests:— From our very soul we cheer and applaud those Democratic Senators and Representa tives who have had honesty and moral cour age enough to brave the storm which heart less demagoguesare endeavoring to increase and embitter against them. Most nobly have they vindicated the firmness, intelli gence and independence of Pennsylvania-- And while the more supple instruments of party are congratulating themselves upon the zeal and readiness with which they have administered to the rival interests and feel ings of other states,or the blind and remorse less prejudices of individuals—Messrs. Bar den,Penrese,Cunningham,Dicky and others, may indulge in the proud consciousness of having acted as become honest, independent Senators of Pennsylvania. But it is more than Insinuated that they were bribed!— Those who cannot comprehend more gener ous motives—whose own souls are steeped hi selfishness and corruption,may be pardon ed this otherwise ungenerous imputation. From the Harrisburg Chronicle of March 7 Great Celebration--Huzza for Pennsylvania. The Democratic members of the Legis• lature had one of the finest celebrations at Williams's Exchange, on the evening of the 4th, ever'held in this place. Pennsylvania was the order of the day—well might it be great, if she was the theme and subject of her warm hearted sons. We have only room to publish the regular toasts to.day,all will appear in our next. On the 4th of March, a number of the Democratic Members of the Legislature, and citizens of Pennsylvania, banquetted at the EXCHANGE, where Mr. Williams, the host, had prepared an elegant enter tainment. The Speakers of the Senate and Elouse of Representatives presided. The following regular toasts were drank with great enthusiasm : 1. THE UNION—A compact made by Sov ereign States to preserve FILMDOM. PENNSYL• VANIA will sustain at all hazards the spirit and letter of the Constitution. [Hail Columbia. 2. STATE RIGIITS.—The cement of the Union, the palladium of our liberties. As a WV EREIGN STATE we will not permit any IN TERFERENCE in our policy, no matter by whom attempted. no matter from whence it may emanate. IPennaylvania March, 3. POLITICS.—The science of human happi ness —Let it not be so degraded as to sacrifice measures for men, or to make abstract or lacal difibrances of opinion, paramount to the public good. 4. PENNSYLVANIA.—fier civil and criminal codes—her mental and physical resources, place hp in the first rank. We will sustain her there. S. Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal improvement.—Their interests one.— their results, the prosperity and glory of our na tive State. ---6. -PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY—Tbo /inn to be awed, too honest to be corruptrd.-161 advocates will never be so base as "to crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may fol- low fawning." 7. THE LAW AND ITS SUPREMACY.— The safety of civil liberty, the guardians of social rights, 8. THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA-- Intelligent and virtiloas,--talse is the tongue which would proclaim that their integrity can be corrupted. 9 COMMON SCHOOLS.—The nursery of the patriots of future times—the poor boys of our country. 10. PARTY NAMES and sectional interests may divide us, but when the interests and policy of the state, are to be sustained, Pennsylvania will prevent a firm and unbroken front. 11. THE SAGE AND HEROES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.—They did their duty to God, to their country, to the human race —unborn millions will revere their memory. 12. THE ARMY AND NAVY OF THE U. S ,—and the militia of the States. 13. TUE FAlR.—Their approbation, the in centive to honor and patriotism—their smiles, the boat reward of freemen. o:rThe following song written for the occasion, was sung with great effect. Ur Pennsylvania yeomen, In Pennsylvania's cause; Maintain her rights, defend her weal, Her freedom arid her laws, Remember those who taught you first Your freedom to maintain. And as they, in their day, Indignant hpurn'd the chain— Like them, he valiant, pure arid free, And over spurn the chain. Their flag is :ionting o'er us, Its folds in triumph play, That flag has courted runny a gale And waved in many a tray. Lot Trenton, or let Chippewa, Of our bravo yeomen tell; How they stood in their blood, And fought both lung arid well, When freedom's banner proudly waved, Arid the cross of England fell. Our State, she knows no master— She owns no foreign sway; No foreign mandate will she brook, No foreign Lord obey. Her chart—it is her own right hand. Her sons so bold and true, • Fear no pain, brook no chain, And what they will—they do. And ho who stands not by their side, May hissing shame pursue. Behold our state—how proudly Her mountains kiss the sky; And pillow'd by the river's side, Her lovely willies lie. Sure, land so happy and 90 fair, Was destined for the brave; May it be ever free, And never know a slave Whilst its rivers roll their silver tides Or white its harvests wave. To scale the rugged mountain, Or piercing rock ribbed side; To roll new rivers through the vale, Is Pennsylvania's pride. Sho pours upon her patriot sons Instructions living ray, For her right, they will fight, In her dark end dreadful day. And shame await the recreant son That would hor cause betray. From the Pittsburg Gazette. CONOQUENESSING-BUTLER CO At a Democratic Anti-Masonic Meeting, held in Conoquenessing, (Butler county,) at the house of Wm. M'Clure, (Wm. M'Clure, Chairman, Thos. Fletcher, Secretary,) a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the views of the meeting, to wit: Major A. Graham, James Welsh, and Daniel Graham, who submitted the fallow ing, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the. late Convention at Harrisburg, in nominating General Harri sonfor the Presidency, disobeyed the call it acted under, and usurped powers not dele gated, and thereby destroyed the national organization of the Anti-Masonic party. Resolved, That we cannot support Gene ral Harrison, because he is either ignorant of our principles and of the vital principles of democratic equality or rights, or else he is an enemy to our cause. Resolved, That James Todd, the Attor ney General, has violated the principles,and disparaged the purity of the character ofthe Anti-Masonic party, by obtrudin g himself into the Convention, and carrying i;is official influence, or suspicion of influence, to bias their deliberations, thereby committing a political sin, which we ought ever to brand with reprobation. Resolved, That we approve the conduct ot,those members of the Convention who seceded and protested, because, by so doing, they preserved a position purely An , i-Ma sonic. where the party, confounded and di vided by their disgust at the schemes, of Mr. Todd, may find a rallying ground to sustain the "supremacy of the laws," "equal rights," and even handed justice. Resolved, That we will wait, with confi- dence, for the National Convention at Phila delphia, to present us a standard of unques tionable Anti-Masonry, for which we will "persevere." Resolved, That the contumacy of the Ma sonic witnesses, Geo. Wolf, Geo. M. Dal las, and their associates, proves the guilt of the Lodge, while their insulting demeanor shows the present supremacy of Masonry over the laws and institutions of the country• Resolved, That the fearless, self devoted stand taken by Thaddeus Stevens, against the tremendous, blood•stamed conspiracy of the Lodge, entitles him to cur unqualified, enduring gratitude.

The Plowing from a French paper is quite new to us: "An old friend of Franklin has communi cated to.us the following fact: There existed at Malmaison a fine portrait of Napoleon, by Isabey; this portrait, which had belong ed to the Empress Josephine, was purchas• ed a few years since by an American named Sanderson, who made a present of it to Gen. Jackson, and when the late disastrous fire occurred at New York this picture was the only object that was spared though it adorn ed one of the public edifices which the fire entirely consumed.—N.

We copy from the Philadelphia "Saturday Courier," certain letters exhibited before the Frank lin county Jury which found the late verdict against N. B. }lmmo, on a trial for "Breach of Promise of Marriage and Seduction,!' as stated a week or two past. There may be cases in which a man might have some cause—some good reason for withdrawing him self from a contract of plighted faith; but before an honorable high-minded man would fake that step, he should have clear and sufficient evidence before him. He might otherwise, as in the present instance, no doubt, be the means, not only of bringing himself in to disrepute and to a shameful end, but of ruining for ever the fair fame and character and happiness of one whom he, in bright and sunny hours, had deemed as part and parcel of his very exi‘tence—cne who had, confiding in. his pledged love and plighted vows, yielded up to him all that was dear and valued upon earth! We know it happens once in awhile, that a gay and giddy girl may be found who will spend whole years in trifling with the heart and feelings of her lover—nay, even go so far as to appoint time and place and make every preparation for consummating his fondest expectations, and then after all, deceive— or rather undeceive him! But again, suds cases are "few and far between;" and it often turns out in the end that the "fooled one" is more benefited than the vain and foolish coquette! For a MAN, however,who performs such a part, we have more contempt than pity—viewing him as a DESPOILER of the fairer part of creation. The "Courier" remarks that the letters "show the manner in which a young and confiding female was induced to place her affections on one who unfor tunately proved himself unworthy the prize he had made so much effort to obtain;" and that "the uni ver,,al testimony borne to the unblemished character and unimpeachable reputation of the fair plaintiff, is alike honorable to herself and gratifying to her friends." LETTER I MONTH LTO IRON WORK'S, Dec. sth, IS3O. Dear Rebecca —Had you driver/ a ball through my heart,l could rot have telt more effectually than I did the letter you wrote. I have been afraid to encroach on your goodness, nevertheless have summoned row- Intion to ask from you forgiveness for what I might have said in my letter to you; as to my not signing my name I thought you would have liked it better, as you precautioned me in writing to you. You must know 1 have not spent a pleasant moment since you left this. I expect to be in the city when my sister is married,then 1 can fully explain to you ; if you value me in the least, write to me on the receipt of this.— Susan looks better than 1 ever saw her. And I expect, oh yet, my dear Rebecca, for you to be mine;—write to me and forgive me or I am miserable. Yours, for ever, NAPOLEON B. HUGHES. LETTER II M,j only Life —I am much disturbed; you have not answered my letter, and your last preys heavily on my mind—you cannot most certainly love me though you have said so. Oh, girl of my soul, had you the sume feeling for me that I have for you, you then could not be so cruel I would divide with you my own soul, and cut the better part for yourself; yes, yes Rebecca, if there is a Heaven for me it is by your side, where I wish to live and die—would it be content for you my love, or do you soar to some one else. If plighted word and honor has no effect what will ? As a test I will bring to you my own love as it came to me when I saw you in the dining-room, and which was gifted tome from heaven, and can I abuse it, and still will you not believe me; am I worse than a heathen? is there no sense of shame in me? could I deceive my first love. Oh, girl, have I not said enough before. I wish you felt the flame that enve lopes my whole heart, and you then would rather see me then hide yourself from my view. The sight of you exhilarates my very soul; and makes me strike into the new man again; and you are to remain here but a few weeks, why then will you make me doubly unhappy. Oh woman! woman! you are the destroy er of my peace I knew not what love was until I saw you; I cherished it for months, it was then recip rocated, and now then cut down by the same soft hand and in such language. Oh Rebecca, could I think it, on this subject could I dwell for ever—but now for your own letter. I said I would not be mar ried, where was it at? at supper before Mra. Leeper, should I have said I was, and to Mrs. Jordan—how would you hare looked ? how would you have felt? what would them e y es of yours have said ?"---that cheek and neck like snow would have changed its lovely color for the deep red, seeming as if all the blood in your body had gathered there ?—what should I have felt? a dissimulation of the sort suited the time better than an expression of another sort; you do me Injustice on that head—if an open avowal would avail it is easy done. As for the ring you sent back I threw it into the dam in a fit of madness; a tender heart cannot bear reproach, and it appeared as if you had slighted me—l wish to vindicate my self to you alone, and not by paper. Therefore,agaiu, if you will meet me, on Monday night at ten, I will fix it; what say you? let rue know against then. Fa ther has demanded my presence at his house, and I must go—but not with my heart, for I will leave it with you. I will be ba.'k on Sunday—if you can meet me ma Sunday, say so by the old man, and in writing. Love in haste, N. H. LETTER M. My Dear Rebecca—Let what will be the conse fuence you must not go , away without my seeing you; rom your letter I am almost prevailed upon to stay at heme. But that which most particularly takes me to town is to see a gentleman from Kentucky, until I put into effect what we were talking of; I wrote to him and he is to be in town to-morrow. I long to see and have much to say to you; Watkins suspects us, I think, oeware of him, I know we arc watched—Fa ther is now looking at me—l shall expect to see you as soon as I come home. Watkins will not go to Bal timore without seeing me, he can't go. Oh hea vens! Rebecca, I dislike to leave you at this time, I know not why, but I have a cloud over me. Yours, for ever. N. H. LETTER IV Dear Rebecca—Oh, for the sake of heaven, send me but one line, to relieve a heart overflowing with despair and bursting with harsh feelings of itself, oc casioned by mere thoughts of thee—by acknowledg ing to itself its own errors. Rebecca you know I love you dearer than life, and your welware I have always at heart; oh my love, and my first love, for give the hasty expressions made use of in my letters to you, they were those of almost absolute compul sion and unavoidable at the time I long to see you, a few lines from you would in some measure atone, if they did but curse me, they would at least produce the idea that I was thought of. I was in Baltimore attending the races, but it was a mere apology for the purpose of going to Philadelphia. The evening before I set out for Baltimore I called on Susan, as she bad but arrived that morning, and she refused to see sae.: So I knew not where to find you, and was convinced you had sailed for England, until the pres ent moment, when kind heaven revealed to me where you were. Susan avoids me on every occasion, the old lady no longer nods to me, :hough there is the same warmth about Diek that there always was. Do let me know how you are, and how you spend your time- ' we shall most assuredly meet aga'n, no thing on God's earth can prevent it, therefore do not persevere in this silence. Rebecca, you know my heart as well as I do, oh do give it some ease be fore I leave this, my native spot forever; perhaps they have it in contemplation to send me to Kentucky, to put up an establishment, of this you shall hear more if you condescend to-write to the degraded Napoleon. But if he is cast away as an old shoe, to be resumed only as convenience may require, then let him perish forever and ever in the soft feelings of his lovely Re becca- ' and may she at once pronounce the final curse, d—d of d—d villains leave me. But if on the contrary I should live, in spite of her endeavors, in her soft fancies, then, my lovely girl, do but let me hear from you; tell me to live and we may meet, and I will bear up against the tide of misfortune. I remain yours, &c. N. HUGHES Montalto Rolling Milts, Jnno 10, 1832. The price oF freight by wauons, from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, is now 84,50 per 100 lbs.

After some remarks in its favor by the Rev. Messrs. BOND and GRIER, the resolu tion was unanimously adopted. Mr. JOSIAH BENNER offered the follow ing resolutions: Resolved, That we consider the sale of Ardent Spirits now practised in our houses of public en tertainment, as productive of much physical and moral evil—therefore, Resolved, That we will refuse our names and influence to any petition asking for License to sell Ardent Spirits. After being supported by Messrs. BEN- NER & WlRT,and opposed by Messrs.

'l'he resolutions were, after discussion, negatived. Mr H ECK offered the following resolution: Resolved, That we hail with emotions of joy the promptness and unanimity with which a !alga number of YOUNG MEN are adopting the princi ple of total abstinence from all Spirituous and Vinous Liquors : and is an example which, if universally adopted by the youth of the United States. would n.•t only cheer the hearts of their parents and save multitudes from the destructive vice of Intemperance, but elevate that interesting portion of our citizens far above the gonerutimis which have preceded them, and render them the benefactors of out beloved country. Carried unanimously. Mr. WATSON offered the following Pre amble and Resolutions, which were agreed WHEREAS, The object of the Temperance Re formation was the removal of nautirmvrizss, and especially the preservation of the sober—and whereas the pledge of abstinence from distilled liquor:Ono:el y, is found to be insufficient fully to accomplish that object—Therefore RegolvNed, That, in the view of this Convention, it is very desirable that the pledge of till Temper. anoo Societies• should comprehend abstinence from the use of Vinous liquors as a beverage.- Regolned, That it bo recommended to the differ. tint Temperance Societies to take order upon this subject.

By a resolution oldie "MEctlANics' INSTITUTE" the undersigned were appointed u committee to prepare an address to "Masters and Apprentices in the Borough of Gettysburg, and particularly to such as are members of the Society." In accor dance with that resolution we respectfully submit the following: The Institution known by the name of the ME. CIIANICS' INSTITUTE, has existed in this Borough for near three years; its object was the diffusion of knowledge amongst its members, and for awhile it bid fair to realize the end for which it was insti tuted. But the spirit which prevailed for awhile, and which promised the happiest results, exists no longer; the members no longer feel the same in terest in its welfare; its meetings have become smaller and smaller, until they have dwindled in. to numbers too few to keep up its exercises at all, with any prospect of general or extensive bseful ness. What has occasioned this falling uff from attendance upon the meetings of the Society? Is it because it flirnishos no means of instruction— because an evening spent in its exorcises is no bettor and no more profitable than - one spent in idleness or in frivolous amusements? These cannot be the reasons for the non-atten dance of the members. Membership in the Some. ty, secures to the persons enjoying it access to a good LIBRARY of well selected Books; lectures,and other exercises calculated to interest and instruct, are had as formerly in the Society. These exer ekes, it is true, have lost their spirit; those who wore formerly active in promoting the good of the society, have become in some degree dishearten ed by the carelessness of those who have a deep interest in its existence; but if they have been disheartened by the carelessness which has been manifested, they do not despair. They hope that a now spirit may be called up, that will not so soon flag, and that when the benefits that must re sult from such a society, properly and spiritedly conducted,become understood, it will flourish; and that the brightest anticipations of its best friends will be realized. Such a state of things depends on the conduct of its members; tho society has the moans to be useful, but it depends on the mem bers whether they will use them or not. There ore several reasons why it is desirable that the society should be kept In existence,which the committee deem it their duty to enforce. In the first place, as long as the society exists and performs certain stipulations, its members aro entitled to the privilege of reading the books of a gond library free of charge. But the moment this society is dissolved that privilege must cease; for it is only as members of the Mechanics' Institute that they are entitled to this privilege. This, of itself, is a sufficient reason for exertion on the part of tbe Moorhens of the society to keep.. rip Ito organization. But there aro others no less im per. taint. The familiar lectures that aro delivered; the various subjects that are discussed, are calcu lated to bring now principles befine the mind and of such a character as will challenge it to think.— If this much be done something is gained, for it was a maxim of Bacon that "contemplation always ends in sense." 900 members It was for the benefit of APPRENTICKS in an es. pocial degree, that this society was formed; and we are sure that nil of this also who possess an honest emulation, who- understand the genius of our government, and the situations in which they may be culled upon to act, and the necessity of knowledge to fill them with credit, will not be backward in their efforts to sustain it. It is to them she looks, and it is them she would bonofil. But we would not overlook the duty or interests of Masters: both aro concerned in tho existence of this society. Masters are, in some degree, the substitutes for parents and guardians to their op. prentrces, and if they entertain proper feelings towards them, they wilt not be less anxious about their mental culture than about their progress in the trades they are learning. And we do not hesi tate to say. that even, if tile hours devoted to the exercises of this Institute wore taken from the timo set apart for labor, still the master would be the goinor: for knowledge never taught any one to be idle or to neglect his business, nor did it ever disquillify ant one for any business in which lie was engaged. On the contrary, knowledge teaches the Apprentice his duty: it shows hire what diligence and industry may aecornplish.and how worthless and how little respected are those who are idle and careless. Tho grouter !mber of those young men who fall into idle and dissolute habits, do so through lack of knowledge; they have never been made acquainted with the necessity of industry and at tention,-in order that they may succeed in their vocations—they are not taught to know that un less they are diligent and attentive apprentices, they cannot be successful masters end respectable and useful mon. But give them knowledge and they will know, that unless they improve their time while they are apprentices, they will not be qualified to succeed when they shall go into busi ness for themselves. Thus we see that knowledge will make them diligent, and that the masters will be the e inera. It is then, both their duty and interest to enemiroge them to attend to the exercises of this Institute for here they will learn nothing that is adverse to their own or their mos tors' interests: but they will be admonished how necessary present perseverance and industry are to future success, (* - HEAR THE TRUTH PRACTICAL RI:VORAI.—A week or two ago the editors of the Harrisburg Reporter published an article; which was copied into the York Gazette, head.•d ' . Anti•Masonic Reform," in which by way ore fling at what they call "the present economical adminis. t ration," they slate that the canal commis. sinners have employed on one line of canal two Supervisors at $2 per day each, to. at. tend to business which was formerly trans• acted by one man for ‘52,30 per day. Now this matter, thus represented, does not look much like reform; but those editors either forgot, or willfully neglected to mention that the old Supervisor had five or six assistants as foremen at 81,•50 each per day, which with his salary made a daily expense of from 10 to 111 dollars par day paid for work now done fur s4.—La yearly saving on sixty miles of canal of two thousand, seven hundred, thirty seven and ahalf tionnrs!

LITTELL'S MUSEUM. ll:TThis valuable periodical, for March, has just came to band, and a hasty glance at its rich contents promises to repay us for its perusal. It is embellished with a full length likeness of the EARL OF MULGRAVE, author of "Yes and No," and the present Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland. We subjoin a notice of the "con tents" of the Museum for the present month: Cowrewra.--Plate—The Earl of Mulgrave; Colley Cibber's Apology for his Life; A Murderer's Death Bed; The Pirate—continued; Life of Admiral Lord Exmouth; Pringle and Moodie on South Africa; Ja phet in Search ofa Father,' Maurice de Saxe; An Ex cursion in Ceylon; The Last in the Lease; Elton's Poems; Memoirs of Luther; Japhct, &c. —concluded; The liuguenot Captain; A Song; Earl of Mulgrave; Mrs. Trollope's Work on France. rr"WALDIE'B LIBRARY" and "PonT FOLIO" aro valuable works, and convoy the best of books to the fire-side of the lovers of usoful and instructing reading matter.

The last three or four Nos. contain "Rtntizi, or the Last of the banes," a work of thrilling interest, and is of itself worth the subscription price of the Library.

It contains several well written original articles, and its usual amount of se lected matter. Upon the whole we think the present No. quite" interesting. A Masonic Wedding! 110 Inanother column will be found a letter from a gentleman now at Harrisburg, giving the (to us) long expected information of the union of the two Masonic factions undor the cross of the Lodge, to put down Anti-Masonry and drive (loin power the present administration! From the mo ment that Masonic "Whigs" and Masonic "Demo crats" (Heaven save the mark!) joined together to shield Masonry and Maisonle Nobles from expo sure, and justified them in bidding dofianco to the Constitution, the Legislature and the Laws, from that moment did we date the commencement of the courtship which has resultod in the marriage of those factions of the Lodge. But,with our cor respondent, wo thank Heaven that Anti-Masonry has shaken off the Harlot that was seducing her from the paths of virtue and correct principles; and that she has driven her into the arms of the polluted Boast. Anti• Masonry can now sail under her own whito banner without the cum brance of such mercenary traitors. The National Convention. "EP We give place to a letter in another column from a distinguished member of our party who is, or Was last week, at Harrisburg. From that letter it appears, that after all the prognostications of the s'lsh maelite" of the Lancaster Examiner, and equally "wise and knowing ones" elsewhere, that a National Anti• Masonic Convention will be held, and that it is rather doubtful whether the cats-paw of the Kentucky monkey will be thought of by that, Convention. Our correspondent suggests the name of EDWARD EVERETT, of Massachusetts, for President, and that Of Cii atm OGLE. of Penn., for Vice-President. No better mcn,purcr patriots, or grater or Inflexible Anti- Masons. could be presented to the party; and their nomination, we believe, would rally around the ban ner of Anti-Masonry the honest and consistent of all parties We would be proud to support a ticket head ed with either DANIEL WEBSTER or EDWARD Ev en Err—men who have no superiors, and but few equals in the Union. In the wisdom and intelligence of the National Convention, however, we repose ev ery confidence—and will abide by its decision. WELL DONE PENNSYLVANIA! poL - Pennsylvania is taking her affairs in to her own hands. This is right.

MADISON, (INDIANA.)—The rising im portance of the town of Madison, is anticipa ted by a number of enterprizing individuals, who have recently purchased from Judge BunArrrr, of Cincinnati, ono of the fhrmer proprietors of the town, his entire interest therein, which is understood to amount to one-sixth part of the town. The various and valuable property which has thus chang ed ownership, lies in blocks interspersed through and about the town, and is to be of fered at public auction by the new proprie tors on the 3d of May next. The act ofthe Legislature,passed in 1833, abolishing imprisonment for debt under $5 33, is complained of by both the poor and rich—instead of benefiting the poor they suffer by it. Owing to the frequent gross impositions practised upon almost every class of citizens, many have been constrain ed to deny the usual credit, when perhaps at the same time the person asking the favor is well worthy the confidence he seeks. [Chu ?II bersburg Tel. VERMONT ANTI-MASONIC CONVENTION —The Anti Masonic Convention which met at Montpelier on the 24th ult. nominated Wm. H. Harrison for President; Francis Granger for Vice President, Silas H. Jen nison for Governor, David M. Camp for Lieutenant Governor, and Augustine Clarke for Treasurer. The vote for President stood, for Harrison 87, Webster 28, Van Buren 27, Granger 20, Everett 1, which nomination was afterwards confirmed by a vote of 140 to 40. For Vice President, Francis Gran ger received the unanimous vote of the Con. vention. For Governor, Silas H. Jennison received 144 votes to 21. When the Convention adjourned,a portion of the members, to the nuinber ofabout thir ty, assembled together and nominated Mar tin Van Buren for President, Wm. A. Pal mer for Governor, John S. Pettibone for Lieutenant Governor,and Augustine Clarke, Treasurer. The majority and minority each formed electoral tickets. We observe that on the 29th u1t.,700 Beef Cattle, 100 Cows and Calves,and 800 Sheep, were disposed of in the Cattle Market of New York. The beef cattle ranged from $6,50 to 58,00 per hundred—except two which sold lbr 515,00 per hundred. One lot of 50 Sheep sold for 57,50 per head. LOOK AT THIS! 0::!rOn the 4th inst.

"F REE • M ASON RY UN M ASKED." We have been favored with a copy of a book entitled "FREEMASONRY UNMASKED; or minutes of the trial of a suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Adams County, (Penn sylvania,) wherein Thaddeus Stevens was Plaintiff; and Jacob Lefever, Defendant."--- This celebrated trial, which resulted in ful ly establishing the truth of disclosures made by seceding Masons of the horrid and ridi• culous character of Freemasonry, and its oaths, rites and ceremonies, grew out of a libellous publication in the Gettysburg Com piler, published by the defendant, imputing to the plaintiff falsehood, in respect to the order of Freemasonry. The result was a verdict of $lBOO for the plaintiff, and a mass of damning proof against the "order." Among the depositions taken, were those of T. Hartley Crawford, formerly a member of Congress from Adams and Franklin coun• ties, Penn. Thos. Phcenix of Baltimore, Sec. retary of the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter of Maryland, who declined answer'. ing the interrogatories respecting the oaths, &c. but testified that Andrew Jackson was Grand Master of Tennessee in 1822, and Henry Clay Grand Master of Keritucky in 1820. Robert Neils3n of Baltimore, a candidate for the Assembly on the W big ticket last fall, also declined answering the questions res• pecting the oaths, dz,c, James Howard, Charles Howard and Samuel Keerl of the same place to the same effect. A commission was sent to Washington, D. C. and two of the oommissioners called upon members of Congress,and others mem• hers of the fraternity, but they all refused to testify! Gen. Otho H. Williams of Hagerstown, answered to the interrogatories respecting the oaths &c. that "he will not tell!" Vachel W. Bendel', said the same. Wm. D. Bell, the same. George KeaElder, the same. Dr. Thomas B. Ducket, the same. Jacob Fowles, the same. these had ta• ken the oath to tell the Oldie truth! Dr. John M. Lawrence of Cumberland, after stating that Swearinger,who was hung for the murder of his wife,was a Royal Arch Freemason, said that he had forgotten the ceremonies, &c. of the order, but if he re membered, he would not state them! Here we see abundant evidence that Free masonry assumes to be superior to the civil authority; for these men had sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They were not quite as cunning as George M. Dallas and his brother pro. testors against the civil authority. Dallas & Co. refused to =ear, and finally trium- phed by a few votes over the Assembly of Pennsylvania, though they were censured for a contempt which the, House forbore to punish. THADDEUS STEVENS has fought the bat tle of the people against Freemasonry in Pennsylvania, with . a spirit, firmness and in• domnitable energy, that entitles him to the unqualified approbation ofevery true repub• lican, and if he should succeed in carrying into a law the bill to suppress Secret Socie ties, now before the Pennsylvania Legisla• ture, he will have accomplished more than all the political Anti-Masons of New York, (who have so calmly sunk down into waiters upon the Whigs,) could bring to pass in a century with their Whig tickets and be whigged Anti• Masonic press, which does not dare to say Anti-Masonry above ite breath. When we see the Anti• Masons of Penn. sylvania pressing forward, and Stevehs in the van thundering at the gates of the citadel atthe order, like Richard demolishing with Its battle axe the castle gates of Front de gccuef, and then turn our eyes toward the whilorne leaders of Anti. Masonry in New York, we are struck with the great contrast, not only in their present condition, but atti• tude and manner. In Pennsylvania the Anti. Masons are bold, with front erect and manly. They re ceive and repel the assaults of both the Jack son and Whig rrartieb, and by playing offihe two against each other, they have obtained after a six years war, the control ofthe State I Government. The only danger is,that they I will lose it, by the Whig policy of support ! ing Harrison. I What do we find in New York? The par ity utterly annihilated,tho press muzzled,and whiggery sneering over the ruin its own had counsels and treachery brought upon it. Anti-Masonry in the spring of 1832, had in New York the most flattering hopes and presages of victory, and that too not very remote. At this critical moment, some of the leaders became suddenly faint and lack ed food. Satan tempted them and they did eat, and from, that fatal hour no gleam of sun-shine has ever beamed upon the once glorious phalanx of Anti-Masonry in New York. Ruined and despised, aye, sunk so very low as to be the jest of W ILLI A M L.

DRAB SIR: For several days the Convention Bill has been under discussion in the House. The Jackson men and Whigs have formed a com plete and perfect coalition to hasten the ac tion of the people on the question, hoping to eject the present firm and noble Governor from office speedily! This holy alliance is under the immediate command of the new member from Philadelphia, a member of the Grand Lodge, AND ELECTED FOR THE PUR POSE OF FORMING A GRAND MASONIC PARTY OUT OF THE JACKSON AND WHIG FACTIONS ! Owing to the absence and sick ness of genuine Anti-Masons, they have out voted us by two or three of a majority. A few sham Anti-Masons go with them occasionally: such as CLARKE, of Beaver, and KRAUSE, of Dauphin. The members from York, except Mr. CewAN, who is an honest man, are the com plete tools of the Lodge! if Democratic York ever sends them back, she deserves to be disgraced: Bucks has had the misfor tune to have a wheeler here. Chester and Montgomery stand back well to some part of their representatives. We have got- rid of the Masonic Whigs, and every true An ti-Mason rejoices in it. HARRISBURG, March 6,1836. DEAR SIR: The true Anti-Masons of this State have determined to hold the Baltimore Conven tion, with such other States as choose to be represented. We never will vote for the Masonic candidate, HARRISON. It IS pro bable that the Anti-Masonic ticket will be FOR PRESIDENT/ Edward Everett, of "Mass. FOR VIOE. rn Re IDENT, Charles Ogle, of Penn. It will be an excellent ticket; one for which Anti-Masons can vote with pride.— Our principles will then be preserved from the corrupting influence of Harrisonism and Van Burenism. It is hard to determine which is the most fatal to us—the drugs of the Magician, or an alliance with the "Base Compound of Royal Arch Masonry, and Hartford Con vention Federalism."
