the society of lost and hopeless spirits.
Who can look on with indifference? Who
can withhold his influence and cooperative
might to crush the hideous monster? Who
can refuse to come up to our help against
the common and formidable enemy? We
appeal to the Young ;Mien of this assembly
for their assistance. You have an important
part to act in this great moral reformation.
When those who now conduct the great po
litical
.movements of our republican institu
tions shall have paid the debt of nature,
you are to rise in their stead, to legislate
in our congressional halls to assist in pre
serving and perpetuating to ages yet un
born the liberty purchased by the lives and
cemented by the blood of the venerable lie•
roesof '76. When those who are now en
gaged in propelmg the great machinery of
benevolent operations shall have slept - with
their Dithers, you are to assume their places
in pushing on the glorious Gospel chariot,
and handing down to your successors that
Religious Liberty purchased by the blood
Of 'MANUEL. In view, then, of these mo
mentous responsibilities, you are called up•
on by all that is desirable in the perpetua
tion of our country's freedom,and all that is
felicitous in the triumphs of Christianity, to
engage in the Temperance Reformation.
We hope we shall not subject ourselves
to the charge of presumption, when we ap
peal to the FAIRER portion of this assembly
for their assistance in this cause. You have
an influence which may be felt in every de-
partment of human society. You have a
power which may be wielded with irresis
table success in the furtherance of our ob
ject; and you have every incentive that can
operate upon a rational and accountable be
ing to exert that influence in the promotion
of the cause whose claims I now present to
you. You have all that is beatific in do.
mestic happiness; you have all that is ten
der and endearine in conjugal affection, and
all that is consolitary in the hopes of
mortality, to enlist under the banner of
Temperance. In view of these powerful
considerations, we respectfully solicit your
influence.
To those who are venerable by ago and
experience, we would make our next ap.
peal. You occupy a situation which invests
your counsel and admonition with peculiar
cogency and effect. The young and the
middle-aged look up to you for examples—
they listen to your expostulations with all
the intensity of implicit and unwavering
confidence. Such, then, being the impor
tance of your counsel, and the sanctity of
your adMonition, we would call upon you,
if you desire the happiness and peace of
those who shell live when you are dead, to
exert them in ftvor of the cause whose in-
terests we are now advocating.
Ia conclusion, I would appeal to the mem
bers of this society who have shown by
their influence that they desire the future
prosperity of our beloved country—Let me
encourage you on to redoubled energy in a
cause so noble, so worthy the attention of
spirits stamped with immortality. Let this
be a last and powerful motive, remember
that our beloved country is at this time agi•
tared with more than usual excitement.
Oh ! is it not important toremember who
can, meet all these responsibilities with
heads free from the fumes of Ardent Spirits
and hearts unpolluted by Bacchanalian re
velry? Oh t who does not see the cloud
gathering quick and dark, and who does not
know how - to rob it of its electric power?
Centend-on, then,with this noble work—the
rising generation will bless you. Succeed
' ing generations will look to you as having
saved their beloved America from perdition.
Joyful through life will be the consciousness
of having done your duty. Joyful in the
hour of death will be the hopes that buoys
you up, you will look back upon a life spent
in rescuing your beloved country from ruin.
Legislative Proceedings.
The Bribery Business.
KrA week or so since we gave the re
port of the Senate's Committee appointed to
investigate the charge of bribery made by
one portion of "the party" against the other,
from which tt was proven that the charge
was a wilfull filsehood. We today give
the following report of the majority of the
Committee apoointed.by the House on the
same eubject, in which HENRY W. CONRAD,
a member of that body, figures as the cul
prit: .
Report of the Committee appointed by the
Souse of Representatives to investig ate the
case of HENRY' W. CONRAD—Mr. SEVENS
Chairman.
The committee charged to inquire into
the circumstances of the attempt a:leged to
have been made by Henry W. Conrad a
member of the House of Representatives,
from the county of Schuylkill, corruptly to
influence and bribe the vote of Jacob Krebs.
a member of the Senate, from the Senatori
al district, composed of the counties of Berk.
and Schuylkill, in reference to the bill en
titled "An act to repeal the state tax on real
and personal property, and to continue and
extend the improvements of the state by rail
roads and canals,
and to charter a state bank,
to be called the United States Bank." Re
port:
That they have carefully examined into
all the facts connected with the transaction
referred to in the resolution, and caused to
be reduced to writing the testimony of all the
witnes-ei examined, which is here trans
t
tied for the consideration of I H ouse.—
!..'iltappears from the testimony, that on the
tenth day of February, ult., Jacob Krebs,
e,meintier of the Senate, stated in writing to
the Fs into as follows:
,‘ "About the :10th of January last, or the
iilitt*fFebruary instant, Henry W. Conrad,
li,Secf. told me that I would be made indepen
~
41At i , if w-ruid vote for the hill chartering
of the United States; that I could
tkeiertitin 'gat twenty tbnientud dollar% and
*green to do so, that Bard Pinar-
THE GETT
son would make the arrangement with me
for the same; that 1 could get it in two weeks
after the bill had passed into a law. 1 told
him that the United States Bank had not
money enough to buy my vote."
He was subpcenaed as a witness before
the committee, and repeated the same state•
ments under oath. The representation ori
ginally made by him to the Senate, and, in
earlier communications, to his constituents
and others, were calculated, and without
doubt intended to induce the belief that the
Bank of the United S•ates,through its agents,
had endeavoured to procure a charter by
dish•mest and dishonorable means, consum.
mated by an attempt, if not an actual pur
elue-e of one or more members attic legis
lature. The committee deem it of great
importance to ascertain whether the bank
were guilty of such attempt; and if not,
whether the propagation of such beliefarose
from honest ignorance or wiPul misrepre
sentation. If the Bank of the United States
and its agents were guilty ofsu , :h corruption,
it and they merit the untningled indignation
of the public. If they be innocent, arid any
member of the legitliture rashly and ignor-
antly not only charged them with it, hut
thereby laid open to suspicion the conduct
of many members of the legislature, it would
be difficult for the most enlarged charity to
look upon him without abhorrence. But if
such slander were the result of deliberate
and wilful design, its author deserves to have
a mark fixed noon him, that hereafter he
may be known whenever he walks forth a•
mong honest and confiding men.
The testimony proves that, while the bill
referred to was pending before the legisla•
ture,Henry W. Conrad informed Mr. Krebs,
"that fortune awaited him; that if he would
vote for the bank bill, he could retire from
public life independent; that lee could re
ceive, 20,0( 1 0 dollars for his vote in two
weeks after dtc bill became a law: that Burd
Patterson was ready to make the arrange•
merits with him." Such was the testimony
of Mr. Krebs, who swore that, at the time,
ho believed Mr. Conrad serious in the pro.
position; from what he has since heard him
say on the subject, he believes him serious
in the assertion, that he was authorized to
make such proposition; but says that he did
not consider Mr. Conrad as desiring him to
accept the ofThr. Mr. Conrad has produced
evidence to prove that he had no desire,and
did not attempt to induce Mr. Krebs to ac
cept the bribe, although he admits that he
communicated to him such an offer; and has
taken especial pains throwThout the whole
investigation to prove, and has fully sat isfi•
ed the committee, that he repeatedly and
earnestly assorted and attempted to make
others believe that such a proposition had
been made to him,and that eflhrts were mak-
ing by the bank to bribe the Senate.
No testimony has been produced to cre
ate the slightest suspicion that the bank ever
authorized any person to •make any such
overture; or that it ever was made to lienry
W Conrad by Mr. Patterson or any other
person. On the other hand, Mt . Patterson,
whose character for truth is unimpenehed,
and who is proved and admitted to be a gen
tleman of proverbial honor and honesty, un•
equivocally denies ever having said any •
thing to Mr. Conrad which could be mista
ken for such a proposition; and as positive
ly asserts that he never had any agency
from or connection with the Bank of the
United States. his testimony is corrobora
ted by . Mr. John Weaver, a witness called
by Mr. Conrad, who was present at the con
versation between Mr. Patterson and him.
The committee are therefore constrained
to declare their belief, that the allegation
made by M r. Conrad, that ho was authoriz
ed by Mr. Patterson, or any other person,
to tender to Mr. Krebs any pecuniary re
ward or personal advatittwe as the Considera
tion for his vote, is wholly destitute of truth,
and the mere fi►brication of Mr. Conrad.—
Nor can they believe that at ihe time he
firstqnade the declaration to Mr. Krebs, he
intended to be underslood,or whsunderstood
by Mr. Krebs, or by those who heard him,
as seriously attempting,• or asserting that
others would attempt corruptly to influence
the vote of the Senator. It was said in a
jocose and rallying manner, in a public my- •
ern, in the presence of six or eight gentle
men; the whole conversation was in so loud
a voice as to be distinctly audible in the ad.
joining bar-room,which was filled with com
pany, and the door between the two rooms
()pep. It is hardly credible that men of
common prudence would seriously make a
corrupt proposition under such circumstan
ces; or that it could be so understood by diet•
creet men. This opinion is corroborated by
the neglect of Mr. Krebs, for ten days, to
communicate the facts to the Senate; and
then only doing it after a vague iumor of
their existence had reached that body from
the distant county which he represents, and
upon a formal resolution calling upon him
for information. Had he believed such at-
tempt to be serious, his duty required him
promptly to bring the matter before the
Senate, and demand the punishment of the
principal and the agent. And his honer and
integrity could not fail to be deeply compro•
mised by his failure to do so. Equally im•
perative also was it on Mr. Conrad to have
informed the House of the foul attempt to
make him the corrupt agent of so iniquitous
a transaction, that the offender might be
dealt with according . to his merits. To
suppose that Mr. Conrad had received such
a prepo3ition,or that Mr. Krebs so believed,
and yet concealed it from the legislature,
Would argue them s%insensible to the insults
of corruption, and be so high an itnpeaeli•
ment of their .characters, as to doter the
committee, without convincing proof, from
coming to these conclusions. They, there.
fore, unequivocally acquit MT. Conrad of
the charge ofattempting to bribe Mr. Krebs,
or of having become, or being desired to
becomettn agent for that purpose. And they
regrelthat such acquittal involves him, un
der the evidence before them, in the convic-
OM of prectices no less iniquitous, and guilt
no less censurable than bribery itself; and
they withhold, the saute remark from Mr.
Krebs, for no other reason than want elju
risdiction over him.
The committee believe that a deliberate
plan was concocted beyond the limits of
Pennsylvania, to enntroul the deliberations
of the legislature by the pressure of the peo
ple acting under an excitement created by
incendiary falsehoods, sent forth upon re
sponsible authority, charging the bank with
bribery, and the Senate with interested
treachery. And it is much to be regretted
that fit instruments for the execution of such
a plot,were halm' among the representatives
of the people, who were willing not only to
tarnish the character of the legislature of
ibis commonwealth, but to sacrifice its in
!crests to the unprincipled dictates of PARTY
In the prosecution olsuch design, M r. Krebs
wrote to his friends in Schuylkill under date
of the 20th Februnn, 1 4 :16 the inflamma
tory letter which necompanies the testimo
ny; in which he stated "that he had been
called upon often by nun in favor of the
hank, and that he could have had $20,000
for his rate." He testifies that when he
wrote this letter, he knew that a meeting
was about to be held in Schuylkill county,in
which he designed the letter to be rend.—
Charles Frailey, to whom it was directed,
testified that he received another letter from
Mr. Krebs, by the same mail, requesting
him to rend the "letter" to the meeting, but
not to alkw it to be made . a part of their pro
ceedings. Thus evidently intending to pro
duce a violent impression upon the public
mind, and conceal the cause, that it might
appear to be the spontaneous indignation of
the people against the provision., of the bill,
and to prevent,by concealment,the detection
of the f a lsehood. Mr. Conrad, about. the
smile time, had occasion to visit Schuylkill
county,when he repeatedly asserted that he
and Mr. Krebs were offered bribes of 620,.
000 to support the bill. He even went so
far as to point out on a printed list of Sena
tors which hung up in a public house at
Pinegrove, the names of eight Senators who
had voted for the bank bill,and who he said
were "BOUGHT OR BRIBED. " The contents
of the letter thus written by Mr. Krebs, and
the declarations of Mr. Conrad, came to be
known at Ilarrisburrr b , and Mr. Krebs was
prevailed upon to make a similar statement
fin. publication, which was extensively cir
culated in handbills throughout the State.—
Hitherto the name of the ag ent had not been
given by Mr. Krebs, and it is extremely
doubtful, whether at the time he wrote his
"letter," he had any particular person in
view. Certain it is, that had ho named Mr.
C!nrad as the agent. the plot would have
failed of effect and been deemed ridiculous,
as he belonged to the same political party
with himself, and had been, and was a uni
form and intemperate opponent of the bank.
But when the charges which he had sent
forth were discovered, and he was called l ,
upon to answer for them before the Senate,
he took advantage of the casual and unmean
ing remarks of Mr. Conrad, to shelter hitn- !
self from the consequences of detected cal
umny. And Mr. Conrad, finding himself'
charged with being the author as well as
propagator of the slander, attempted to di
vert public ledignation from himself and fix
it upon another, by boldly maintaining the
reality of the corrupt proposition. These,
as far as we are capable of judging, are the
filets and the motives of the actors in these
humiliating scenes; disgraceful alike to Mr.
Conrad,whether we consider the proposition
as having been actually made to him, and
by him communicated to Mr. Krebs, but
concealed from the House; or, whether we
deem it a sheer invention, industriously pro.
pagated for the purpose of bringing disgrace
upon the bank and the Senators, and of de
ceiving the people. Whether we adopt the
former or latter supposition; whether we a
ward the front rank in this inglorious race to
him or to Mr. Krebs, can he of but
im
portance; in either event, he will have ac
quired sufficient notoriety as to have secured
to himself an immortalitls of infamy.
The committee feel great delicacy in at
tempting to recommend to the House the ul
terior measures which it may be necessary
to adopt. If we are correct in the opinion
that Mr. Conrad has resorted to wilful mis
representations to bring odium upon honor
able men for the faithful discharge of their
official duties, no punishment, in the power
of the House to inflict,could be deemed dis
proportionate to the offence. Justice and
self-respect would seem to require that the
House! should be purged of his presence.—
But his expulsion would create the necessi
ty of a special election, which would be ex
pensive and burthensome to his constituents.
The committee are unwilling to recommend
measure which would involve the innocent
with the guilty.
The Committee recommend that Mr.
Conrad be reprimanded by the Speaker.
In pursuance of which recommendation,
Mr. Conrad was brought before the Speaker
of the House of Representatives on the 26th
ult. and received the following severe repri
mand:
HENRY W. CoNnAn.—This is the day on
which I have been directed by the Repre
sentatives of the People of Pennsylvania,
publicly to reprimand you, for a'violation of
duties, which in their opinion are due to
them and our common constituents. I need
not say, that it is to me a source of deep re
gret, that any member of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, should he placed in the rela- '
non to the' House and tbe country which
you occupy,and that my official station com
pels me to execute the judgement of your
feflow members.
That judgement has been deliberately
for Med, after having Eddy heard your case;
and the result is, that you have been found
guilty of an attempt to mislead public senti
ment, at the expense of the character and
.leputation of the Legislature of our Corn
inonwealth,and villtly and calumniate gross
ly, those with whom you wets in the habit
lof daily Communion. The object of the evi.,
(fence offered, by you to the committee, was
to show, that the conversation you had with
the Senator from Schuylkill, was purely
joculer.and that you so considered it. Sup
posing this to be so, it was proved to this
House, that your subsequent conduct in re
presenting that an attempt to bribe a mein
her of the Legislature, had been seriously
made, and your repeated assertion in public
places, that Senators and Representatives
had been bribed,was an utter dereliction of
your duty as a man of honor,and an aban
donment of that high integrity and purity of
purpose, which should distinguish a Refire
sent ative or a free and honest people. I Ind
not the public mind been disabused, and the
antidote of truth met and subdued the venom
which a combination of designing men had
endeavored to circulate, the mosr disastrous
consequences mast have ensued; eonfidence
in the purity of popular representation would
have been destroyed; great enterprises of
public benefit arrested; the character of the
committee stigmatised; and the triumph of
those at home and abroad, who would re•
joice to see your native State degraded from
her-primary rank in the Union, and subjec
ted to pernicious influences from nbrond
would have been complete. Among the ac
tual agents in thisdisgraceful conspiracy you
have been found. It is a source of gratitude
to every honest free man of Pennsylvania,
that such success was not achieved, but the
pleasure which such a result occasions, is
greatly qualified by the conviction which
has been forced upon us, that you at least
are entitled to no exempti•m, from the em
, nhatio condemnation to which a share in
this wicked and disgraceful scheme, justly
subjects you.
It is not necessary that more should now
he said on this painfill subject, and in mercy
to your feelings, I readily abridge my part
in the painfid exhibition of this day. --
In conclusion, in obedience to the order
of the House, and in the name of the people
of Pennsylvania, whose representatives we
are, and whom through us, you and your
confederates have traduced, I SOLEMN
LY AND EMPHATICALLY REPRI
MAND YOU.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
The doctrines of Gov. Ritner's Veto Mes.

seem to meet with ueiversal approbation.
The Hon. G. Glenn has resigned the

A CONTRAST.—The Lycoming Gazette
of a late date contains a call for an anti
improvement meeting, headed "Freemen
arouse! our liberties are in danger." In
the very next column we find the advertise
ment of the Secretary orate Commonwealth
giving notice that the "Commissioners of
the several counties of the state are not re
quired to collect the State tax for the year
A. D. eighteen hundred and thirty-six!"
We think it will puzzle our contemporary
of the Gazette to convince the honest yeo
manry of that county, that to relieve them
of taxation is to take away their liberties!—

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.—The Reading
Chronicle states that the lion. Jon:v BANKS.
of Mercer county, haq been appointed Presi

Holding these opinions, I would act upon

of Hon. DANIEL W EBSTEE, which was read
to the Convention assembled at the State
House in Boston, on the 24th ult.
NV A SETINGTON, Feb. 27 1030.
MY DEAR SIR, —The Whig Members of
the Legislature of Massachusetts, of the lust
year, saw fit to put me in nomination for the
office of President of the United States,
"Events have since occurred, which were
probably not anticipated, and which may be
thought to have rendered a reconsideration
of that nomination expedient. If this opin
ion slimild be entertained by the Whig Mem
bers of the present Legislature, I should ex
cecdinglv regret that they should forbear to
act upon it, from any motives of deliCacy
towards me. Indeed, in the state of things
nt present existing in the country, my per
sonal wishes are to withdraw my name from
the place it occupies before the public, in
connexion with the approaching election:
and I am restrained from so doing, only by
the consideration, that there are interests,
which might be MlN:ter' by such a mrive
ment, in regard to which the opinions of
others ought to be consulted.
wish you, therefore, my dear Sir, to sig•
nify to our friends, that not only would it give
me no pain to be no longer considered a can
didate, but that such a change in my rela•
Lions to the country would be altogether a
greeable to my persAnal feelings. At the
same time, I wish tt may also be said to
them, that I shall not act in opposition to
their judgment of what is required by the
public good. I shall not separate from them,
nor from those principles which we have
hitherto maintained, and which, I trust, we
shall continue to maintain, whether in ma
•jorittes or mmoriti,es, or in prosperous Or ad
verse fortune. If iu their opinion,our com
mon principles and common cause, notwith
standing whet has occurred, do still require
of me, that I remain in my present position,
I shall cline! fully abide by their determina
tion, confident, that in no events hereafter
to happen, can it become matters cf regret to
me, that I have conformed to what seemed
best to their honest patriotism and intelligent
sense of public duty.
With this distinct expression of my own
personal wishes, therefore, I leave the sub
ject for their decision; desiring them to con
fader nothing, but what just and consistent
principle, sincere, patriotic duty, and the
great cause of Constitutional Liberty may
appear, in the present posture of public af.
fairs, to demand from them andfrom me.
With very true regard,
your obedient servant,
DANIEL IN EBSTER.

ANOTHER BREACH OF PROXISE.-Tlifi
New York Transcript says:—"A Mr. James
Perkins has been saddled with damages to
the amount of 450 dollars, for refusing to
marry Miss Nancy Griffith, after having
paid attention to her for the space of twelve
years. Both parties belonged to Pike,
which is in Allegheny county; but the ac
tion was tried in the county of Livingston.
One of the witnesses being asked why he
advised the plaintiff to bring her suit in this
county instead of Allegheny, replied, that
in the latter county, "a jury could scarcely
be found, who would consider a woman, soul
and body, worth more than fifty dollars!"

An express front Fort Dtane last . even
ing Ames that Gen. Scott is there; that Gen.
Gaines had retired to Fort Drane, and left
the comranntl befOre Scott arrived; while
the Wythlacoochee Powell, Jumper, and
Apel were in camp stung fbr pence, that
they were tired of fighting. Whilst nego
tiating, Gen. Clinch's detachment came up,
nod, knowing nothing of what was going on,
rushed upon t he Indians, who fled, and Pow
ell and the rest, hearing the alarm, started
like fury, but promised to return the next
day; that, on account of Clinch's men, they
were afraid to come into camp, but stood
on the other side with a flag, and stated that
they had sent to the Governor, Micanepy,
to know his ideas; and as the old man has •
always been considered in reality favorable:
to removal, we are all in hopes that the war
will soot; be terminated. They have moved
their women and children about 48 miles
from the late battle ground. Gen. Scott,has
bad the offer offrom 800 to 1000 Creek In
dians, which he has accepted. They are
to be there iii twenty days.
The National Intelligence of Tuesday
last, in reference to the information contain
ed in the above article, says—
" From FLoatna, authentic accounts were
received, by the mail of yesterday evening,
confirming the main facts, heretofore report
ed, of the return of the troops from With-
Incoi,chee to Fort Drone, and Gen. GAirtEs',
departure for Now Orleans. There ap
pears, however, to be no foundation for the
rumor that the %lac is ended. On . the con- •
trary, every preparation was making, under
the orders of General Scow, to carry it on
with vigor. ,
"We grieve to have to state that official
information has been also received of the•
death of the gallant and chivalrous Lieut
lzmin, of the wounds received by him in
the first action with the Indians on the 28th
ultimo."
(l;7-The following is taken from the Na
ional Intelligencer of Thursday last:
WASHINGTON, March 31.
The subjoined information may, we have
no doubt, be relied upon as authentic; and it
is of the latest date that has reached the city.
It appears to have been made up from letters
received to the 16th instant, from Fort
Drone, and probably directly from officers
of the Army:
MAUCH 6.—" There is every reason to
believe that Powell ((Neat) remains with
his people in the same neighborhood. This
is most fortunate for Scott's operations. (*t . .
the 25th, Eustis, with 1700 men, would
at Pelaklekaha, on the road from Tainpa ,
Fort Kuig; and Col.
- Lindsay had been eita6V
pected to be at Chichuchnty; nearer to Tani." pa, with about 800 men. But there is
much reason to fear that the disperson of the , .
700 troops from Alabama would embarrass
this part of the arrangement. General Scott
could not, by the 16th, have heard of this
unfortunate contre temps. Clinch on the
same day (the 25th) would be back on the
Wythlacooehee, with about 1800 men.—
About 400 of Clinch's wing had been left by
General Scott on the St. John's, but they
would be up in time. Whilst Scott attacks
them in front, on the tine side, Eustis and
Lindsay were to close in the rear—not only
to aid in the engagement, but to prevent o.e
'escape to the Southeast. If the Indians re
main in their present position, and every
body believed that they would, the great
stroke was expected to be given about the
28th—and some smaller bodies would then
remain to be picked up. The delay till the
28th was to make it certain that Eustis and
Lindsay were in position and toenable Clinch
to receive from Picolata and Gary's Ferry
the necessary subsistence. All the wagons
had gone to those places. The army was
in fine spirits, and Gaines's troops recover
ing fast from their recent sufferings. If Gen.
Scott should succeed in his operations, he
expected to be at Tampa Bay by the 7th
April.
"How far the disappointment in receiv
ing the Alabama volunteers will embarrass
the operations of the campaign, it is impos
sible thr us to determine. We have every
confidence, in the genius and resources of
Gen. Scott."

Volumo of the "STAR AND REPUBLICAN BANNER."
For the kindness manifested towards as by the
Anti-Masons of Adams County, we trust we shall
over fool grateful ; and while we have doubtless
in some instances erred on questions agitated du
ring the limo of our sojourn amongst them, wo
assure thorn that it proceeded more from the head
than the heart—for to be as successful as possible
in giving general satisfaction, has been our utmost
exertions. That wo have not entirely failed, the
proofs furnished by our patrons are gratifying evi
dences. When the paper foil into our hands it
was a sinking concern, and could not have con
tinued to the end of the first six months had not
the change taken place. It now commences its
airman year with a list of upwards of SEVIN HUN.
DREDBUlbeCtibareyind is constantly on the increase.
Its circulation is not confined to the County alone,
but la extended into other Counties and other
States. And we trust nn °Wort will be wanting
On our part to make the "STAR & BANNER" as ao.
Ceptablo to the public in future as it has been in
past years.
We are confident, however, that it is not our
own merit that has contributed entiroly to the
success rekhitili has crowned our labors thus far;
but to tho great principles which brought the par
ty to which we aro proud to belong into existence
•.--the principles of Democratic Anti-Masonry.—
Those principles we have labored honestly and
zealously to maintain,, through evil as well as
.through good report, until they have signally and
gloriously triumphed in the election °fon". present
Democratic Anti-Masonic Governor and Legisla
ture. And so long as such principles are tho com
pass and guide of those now in powerom long shall
they have our hdarty, cordial support. Wo have
nailed our flag upon the ramparts of Anti-Ma
sonry and Pennsylvania Rights, from which it
shall never be taken down as long as we have ono
typo to batter the enemy. If that onomy steals
the cloak of Anti. Masonry to carry dissention in
to the ranks of the party and merged it and its
principles into' a personal party, we shall not fail
to give the alarm and call the honest "old Guards"
to comp "TO THE ItEACUE!" Neither will we be the
last to repulse thdt enemy if, in the winning garb
of Democracy, ho attempts to steal into the gar
den of Pennsylvania to seduce tier fair citizens
from t h e -enjoyments of her rights, and blind her
to liar future prosperity and happiness. In short,
let that enemy attempt to got into bur fold in any
other way than through the .right door, and with
the pripor watchword, it shall be the duty of the
Swot to emit such rays upon his dark and hazard
countenance as will exhibit him in his proper do.
formity to Democratic Anti-Masons and to the
friends of Pennsylvania Rights.
No, then, for a seventh time, commit our paper
to the keeping of its fi ionds arid fliiiiria - 73f the
principles of its adoption—assuring thorn that it
shall, so far as in our power, be a STAR to guide
thorn to a pure haven ; and a BANNER under which
no traitor will be content to repose.

Philadelphia will please accept our thanks for the

Should any of our friends wish to purchase a City

the above Company a call.
conve call the attention of the people to the re
port of the Committee on the Bribery business,
as well as to the severe reprimand Mr. CoNRAD
received at the fiends of the Speaker of the House
of Representatives. Mr. Conrad on Monday last,
in consequence of the disgrace which ho brought
upon himsolf,resigned Ills scat in the Legislature.
Ho and his friends (the Van Burenites) are mak
ing a groat cry at the treatment ho received from
the body upon which he tried to bring disgrace
and reproach; but the evidence will show that in
stead of being reprimanded, ho ought to have been
expelled at once.
.IVallona, Convention.
Glg"We readily give place to the call oldie Anti.
Masonic Executive Committee of Pennsylvania.
]t will be seen that a full delegation, unpledeged,
from Pennsylvania will be in attendance, and
that unpledged delegates are requested from other
States. Indeed., all the delegates yet appointed,
wo believe,' are pledged only to Anti-Masonry;
and we trust none will be permitted to enter the
Convention who are otherwise pledged. Lotpure
Democratic Anti-Masons be selected for Presi
dent, Vice• President, and Electors, and we fear
not the issue: our principles will, as heretofore,
be maintained; and if we should not succeed, the
Lodge shall not triumphed over tame, , va.scillat.
ing, "expediency''opponents.
Lancaster Herald is informed that
when it returns to Anti Masonry, wo shall pay
some attention to its requests.. For the present,
wo aro disposed not to counsel with one who'has
voluntarily, for the sake of "expediency," or acne
thing else, thrown himself body and breeches into
the folds of the Lodge. Tho proceedings of hon.
est Anti Masons will always appear in our col
umns; those of any others are only fit for the
columns of ono who is a proper subject to be
chnalted by a Harrison collar. The Anti-Masons
of Loacock township are tho true friends of Anti-
Masonry—and sad will it be for the party if their
wise counsels are not adopted.

Texas—Defeat or the Mexican .army.
The New Orleans Bee of the 17th inst.
announces the. teceipt of important intelli•
Bence from Texas, by the Schooner W. A.
Turner.
The Mexican force which besieged the
Fort at San Antonio, consisted of about 2,-
800 infantry, 1,500 cavalry, besides 500
mules and baggage. The Texian force
numbered about 200. The Mexican sur
rounded the fort on all sides,hoisting a black
flag as indicating no quarters. They were
saluted from every quarter of the fort with
artillery, which was continued with so much
effect that the Mexicans were obliged to
evacuate the town—leaving . five hundred of
their comrades slain before the fort.
Nearly all the able bodied citizens of
Matagorda had volunteered to drive the
Mexicans beyond the Rio Grande, or leave
them on the battle field.
The Texiana have abandoned Copano,
and fortified Lahadie or Golied, higher up.
There are now 700 men stationed there,well
prepared with artillery and ammunition—
and disposed to play checkmate with the
wing of the Mexican army, under general
Urrea, lately encamped at San Patricio.
