We should certain. Jy not have , noticed them, had they not at tempted to give a party bearing to the Act chartering said Company. - Vhe - Editors ask the Farmers to inquire into the reasons for granting this second Rail Road Charter; and state that TwOßail Roads -from Wrightsville to York cannot be necessary. They then charge all this to ' the Anti. Masonic Administration! .We trust that the Farmers will inquire _ intn_the azasoris for the lino Rail Roads, and satisfy themselves whether it was caused by the Masonic or Anti-Masonic party. We wilt briefly state the facts, (which are all to be found on the Journals of the House,) and . thee leave the People to judge how far Ma. sonic Villany was the cause of the act re fiirred to. It was proved, and cannot with truth be denied, that in the Session of 1834-5 a Member of the House of Representatives from - Adams county prepared a Bill to in. corporate a Company to make a Rail Road from Wrightsville through York to Gettys burg, and agreed with Mr. Strrnia, a Ma sonic Jacki;on member trom York county,to offer it , as an amendment to another hill; . the member from Adams was to move to die• penes with the reading of it and to state the object to the House. It was offered by Mr. Snyder, and the member from Adams mov ed to dispense with the reading, and stated that it was an Act to incorporate a Compa• ny to make a Rail Road from Wrightsville through fork to Gettysburg—to which M r. Snyder assented, and it was not read, but passed on the statement of its contents thus made.. Immediately before it was offered, the' member from Adams asked Mr. Snyder whether it was just as it was when he gave it to him,and Mr. Snyder said it was. This was proved on the floor of the House by Mr. GAMBLE, a highly respectable member from tycoming county. He is no Anti. Matta, but 'a Jackson man. After the bill had passed thee House without reading, it was discovered that a g, oss forgery or fraud had been practised on it! OJ - ALL THAT PART OF Tilt BILL WOMB AUTIIORIZED TUB PiZeTINIIANCE OF TIER ROAD FROM YORK TO GETTYSBURG WAS STRICKEN OUT, AND THR ROAD MADE TO END AT YORK This base act was done by no-Anti-Ala - we, but by one of the Masonic Jackson members from York County—either Sny der or Smyser—for each accuses the other of it. We leave them to settle who is guilty. At.the last &Brion, the member from A dams county brought in a bill to continue the Wrightsville and York Rail Road to Get9aborg according •to the original law before the forgery had altered it. Had that law prevailed, only one road from York to Wrightsville would have been necessary.— But this was opposed by , the Wrightsville end York Company; and in order to defeat it, several Masonic Jackson men from York went to Harrisburg to bore against it—a. axing them was Dr. Smam,one of the Man agers of the present road and the Jackson candidate for Senator at the last election. THEY DEFEATED THE DUX, AND THIISREN SHRED TWO ROADS NECESSARY. So careful were the Anti• Masonic mem bers of the Legislature of the interests of the Farmers of York county, and so unwil ling to be obliged to make TWO roads thro' ghat rich valley, that they provided in the law of the last Session, that the Wrights• vilk and York Rail Road Company should /lave the right to subscribe their Stock into the new Company,and become a part of said Cowpony, and that only one road should be made from York to. Wrightsville. BUT THAT COMPANY REFUSED TO DO 80. It. is governed by high Masons: The President is a high Mason: The acting Manager hi - York is a Mason; one who sr:fused to answer when called as a Wit wisest Harrisburg. The late Masonic can- didate for Senator for this District is a man- ager, webelieve. The Secretary of the , Company is a Jackson man. They corn ' polka the making of TWO roads.

The followu g. says the Lancaster Union, is an extract hom -a speech delivered by the Hon. R. T. LTTLE, a Van Buren man, and late representa tive in Congress, at a "Buckeye Celebration," ,n Ohio, in September last. Gen. HARRISON was present, and had delivered an address, at the re. quest of the Committee of Arrangements. and had afterwards spoken at the table, in acknowledg ment of a complimentary sentiment. We copy from the New Yorker. "It is true, that that gentleman [General ilinarsoN,] and myselfare now,as we have for some time been,opposed to each other in some of our views, perhaps in most, as to the public men and measures of the day; but were we as widely separated as the poles, I can neither be made to forget his virtues, nor withhold from him just commendation for his many eminent services. Sir,/ would be a traitor to my own nature, if I found myself capable of disparaging the claims of a public servant, so eminent, so tried, and whose life has been a history of such useful ness and galtantry,as that of Gen. hfarri• son. Rather than rob the temples of that time-worn and justly honored public ser• wont of a single laurel, i would choose, in justice and gratitude, to heap chaplets on his blots. Sir, the miserable spirit of par tisan warfare and detraction, as displayed by most of the journals, on both sides, nay on all sides of the question for the Presidential succession, I deprecate from my heart.— The spirit that will admit of no good, out of , the- mete party range, and which dooms to 1 infamy all that cannot reach his standard of party purity— . -a spirit which invades the peace and peryerts the purposes of social harmony and union—all good men,sliiiuld frown upon. "Render unto Cresar the things that are o:mar's," is the injunction of Divine Wisdom; and in all cases where we depart from this nrinciple, the degradation and the evil are to be measured only by the extent of its infraction. The barid'of pioneer worthies who now surround us—with your guest just named,a chief and conspicuous member—should re. ceive at our hands, that respect which by early toil and suffering they have so richly earned. They will soon be numbered with years before the . flood. Respect to them while living, and gratitude to their memo• ries when dead, are imperative on all who participaie now in the glorious fruit of their earn hardships and enterprise." 1.77 he Mowing letter wne written by Gen HARRISON, in reply to on invitation to the late Whig Festival, in Pliiladolphiv: (IN CI N NATI, June 24, 1836. Gentlemen—l have had the honor to receive your letter of the 411) June, 1836, inviting me to a celebration in your city of the approaching anniversary ofour National Independence. I greatly regret that lam prevented by official duties from attending on an occasion which would combine so many circumstances to render it highly in teresting. I request the favor of you, gentlemen, to offer, in my behalf, to the company which may be assembled at your feshval,.a toast and sentiment: The latter, however, is not original, but will no doubt he acceptable. as it camo from a body of men belonging to Pennsylvania, whose conduct and services I have ever considered as doing honor, as well to their own State, as to our common coun try. I consider it, also, appropriate to the times, as it may have some influence in checking that current of selfishness, engen dered by the baleful influence of party tac tics, which is so rapidly increasing in our country, and which, it seems to me, bids fair to extirpatethose principles of patriotism and devotion to the common good, which once so extensively prevailed. I must trespass on your patience by a short narrative, that you may better under. stand the claims which I advance in behalf ofa portion of your fellow citizens, to whom I refer, in the sentiment I offer you. In the spring of the year 1813, the period for which the brigade of volunteers raised in Western Pennsylvania, and commanded by Brig. General Crooks, was about to ex pire. about 800 of them were stationed at Fort Meigs; at which place had been col teeter! a large priition of the munitions of war, and all the artillery intended for the projected campaign, for the recovery of the Michigan Territory, and the conquest of Upper Canada. Upon the safety ofthis post all our hopes of succeeding in the enterprise, of course, depended The enemy, aware of its importance, and informed also of the time when the greater part of its garrison would be discharged, were preparing to attack it , Although all these circumstances were well known to the department of war, the orders to supply the places of the militia which were about to be discharged, by fresh drafts. were so hang delayed, that it became neces sary that I should collect every disposable man for the defence of this important post. While engaged in this duty. I addressed a letter to General Crooks, which he was directed to read to each company, appealing to their patriotism. and urging them to' re• ;main in service until the troops whielf,ticid; been ordered from the iuterior should arrive to relieve them. Six hundred of the eight hundred imme diately complied with this request. Upon my arrival at Fort Meigs some days after wards, I found them embodied under the command of Majors Nelson, Ringlend and Orr. The troops which I had before been enabled to collect, and bring with me, were, however, entirely insufficient to supply the place of the Pennsylvania volunteers, and the period of 15 days, which I had fixed as the limit oftheir service,was about to expire. No effort was made by me to attempt to ex tend it, having determined that their going or staying should depend upon their own un influenced sense of duty They were not long in deciding. The private soldiers de- - sired that they might be assembled, and the day after in arrival, the field officers waited upon me, with their unanimous determine lion, embodied in the following declaration, which they requested to make to me. "A• greeably to your request, General, we have remained at our posts. The 15 days which you assigned as the period of our stay will shortly expire; but we did not intend that that should be the limit of our service if a farther time be required. We did not vol unteer for 15 days, nor 15 weeks, nor 15 months.but for just as long,iis in your opinion, our services were necessary. It is true we are anxious to return home, as we are nearly all farrners,and unless we are soon dismissed we shall loose the chance of making a sum mer crop. This, as well as ail other per sonal considerations, are of no importance, when opposed to the duty we owe to our country. We therefore inform y( u, that it is our determination to remain with you as long, as in your opinion, our services may he necessary." The arrival of a batallion of the Kentucky militia, which had been mounted on pack horses, to expedite their mare.h,enabled me, in a few days afterwards, to discharge these patriotic citizen soldiers. They left the Fort, bearing with them the strongest evi dente which I could furnish of their claims upon the gratitude of their country. They would not, however, have accepted their dia. charge, could they have supposed that the long threatened and repeatedly postponed attack upon Fort Meigs, would take , pace in less than 10 days after their departure.— Pennsylvania was not however,unrepresent cd in the arduous and trying scenes which followed. The Westmoreland troop of light dragoons,: under Col. Markle—a portion of the Fayette, under Cnptiiin McClelland—, the Pittsburgh Light Infantry Blues, corn. mended by Captain Butler, and the Greens burg Volunteers, under Lieutenant Drumm, flaming with the Petersburg, Va. Whin teers, a - batallion under the command of Major Alexander, nobly sustained the chiv alrous character which had been acquired for the state by the soldiers of Thompson, •Wayne, the Irwins and Mulitenbergs, m the war of the. Revolution. Be pleased ►o present in my name, gen- tlemen, to the Company which may be as• sembled at your festival, the following sen timent: "PENNSYLVANIA —As long it. her itateanten eon ~. . . . Onus to cherish the Republican principles, for Which she has beer been distinguished, her youth when called todefend her rights in thefield, will adopt for their motto, the maxim of - hor gallant volunteers of 1813—'that all personal considers. Lions are of no importance when in conflict with their duty to their country.'" . I have the honor to be, with great res pect, gentlemen, your humble servant, W. H. HARRISON.

The Harrisburg Chronicle, a Van Buren paper, in referring toThe late Young Men's Convention in favor of Gen. Jackson's can didate, says "it would have been better had the Convention never met." ENGLAND. -ii would scorn by the last accounts trom England, that the design of the reformers extends beyond the remedying Of existing abuses,and that they have in view the subversion of the government. Meet- ings have been held in various parts of the kiniidom to intimidate the House of Lords, and to destroy their power. If the reformers prove successful in this off - mg, it will remove the main prop of the monarchy, and their next step will be to denounce that system of government, and probably to overthrow it by revolution. It appears to us, that nothing but. inflexible firmness in the House of Lords, can arrest the progress of com motion, and save the country from scenes of binorlshe I, and possibly from the sway of a Dictator in the person of O'Connell. We do not believe that a change in the form of government would be beneficial to the people of England; and we should,there fine, regret the success of the reformers to that extent—however we might approve a reform in actual grievances.—Ball.

To the President of the Young Men's Democratic Van Buren Gmvention. Sir,—The undersigned begs leave to pro test against the course pursued, by the in• dividuals of the Young Men's Convention against him and the journal he conducts.— He is, and ever has been, a devoted suppor• ter of Jackson and Van , Buren. His paper has been long ardently dedicated to the sup port of the candidate of the party; and to the honest vindication of Jefrerson Demo. cracy. It has, it with pride and exultation acknowledges, sustained the interests of .Pennsylvania Democracy. But the sub scriber cannot be induced to believe that the support of the key stone state, is inconsistent with the sentiments or interests of the friends of Van Buren. He has ventured to exerei e freely and honestly the privilege of judging of the expediency of the public measures: and will continue so to do—confident that candor, rectitude and truth, can never mili tate against the true principles of the Dem ocratic party. He protests against the denunciation by the convention of him and his journal. Because, he believes such denunciation unjust. Bocause, this convention is not authorized to denounce the well known and long tried journals of the party. Because, at least, fifteen or twenty jour nals of the party, known to be devoted to the cause of Van Buren,accord with the "Chron icle" in its opinions and course. Because, the democrats of Pennsylvania approve of, and sustain the course of the Chronicle, any counter expression would be a misrepresentation. If, however, the convention,notwithstand ing, these objections, deem proper to make the subscriber the 'object of Condemnation, he at least asks, as an act of common justice, that he be heard before the convention or its committee in self defence. Because the course contemplated by the convent ion,would be an unjustifiable intei fe. rence with my private business,nnd a flagrant violation of my private rights: Because it would be an act of MERCI• LESS PROSCRIPTION,whiO the people of Pennsylvania could not fail to regard with disapprobation and resentment. The subscriber respectfully begs leave to submit the foregoing. Yours &c. • E. GUY ER, Editor Harrisburg Chronicle.

From the Chambereborg Weekly Messenger CASUALTIES. On Monday the 20th ult , as the Hagers town stage was crossing to McConnellsburg, near the top of the Cove Mountain, during a violent thunderstorm, the driver was so stunned with an electric shock as to fall from hi-. box. He, however, was taken up by a couple of teamsters, who had stopped during the storm, and soon recovered. A drove was crossing at the same time and place, and two of the cattle were killed. A tree close by was likewiPe struck with the same flash. Thus were congregated, the stage, the teams, the drove, and their respective at tendants, remote from any house,,at a time when a voice from the clowds seemed to say; "the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, let all the earth, keep silence before him. 7 The thunder was unusually severe. Astable was burnt, from being struck, during the same storm, in the Cove, belonging to T. Logan, Esq. Tau Serum OP Stavitair.--We learn from the Cincinnati Republican, that Mr. Pickens, ofthe House of Representatives in Congress, made a flourishing speech a few days since, against laboring classes;—de oignating them as having neither home, country, right nor property; as being as de graded as the *wanderwg Calmiic or Tarte ty. He said, their object would be to Om. 'der the wealthy; and insinuated, that if they got into power, a hundred thousand swords would leap from their scabbards to put them down. . It was but a little time ago, that Mr.Pich ens, colleague of Mr. Hammond, said that slavery "creates an aristocracy, and that in a slave country. everyfree man is an aris tocrat It was only last Autumn, that Gov.

M"Amoi,g the guests at the late Harri• con celebration at Harrisburg, we observe the GOVERNOR, STATE TREASURER and HEADS OP DEPARTMENTS! Will the 'Telegraph" inform us whether that was an Antt-illasonie celebrationl— the caption of the proceedings,it would not seem so. We should like to learn ex actly' where we are, and where we are about to be led. Let us have no concealment— no quailing of the free presses for fear of "driving offfriends." We see a few sound Anti•Mnsonic tonsts,it is true—such as that given by that old firm genuine Anti Mason, JACOB ALTER, Esq.; but we see many that are any thing else than Anti-Masonic. In the regular toasts we see Democracy—the Democracy of '9B toasted, but not a single toast in favor of Political Anti-Masonry! We regret—we will not conceal it—that the Governor and his Cabinet should have sanctioned such a celebration. We are glad to learn, however—as we do from one malignant sentiment published—that the Secretary of the commonwealth and his worthy Deputy were not there. It would have been gratif) ing to the peo ple--the Anti-Masonic people, who gave them power.to have seen a little more Anti- Masonry in the sentiments of the several Secretaries who did attend, and in the State Treasurer's. By the bye—will the Telegraph—the fearless Telegraph!—infirm us, whether the rumour be true or false that the State Treasurer, JOSEPFE LAWRENCE, continues in office several Masons—whether his Chief Clerk' be a recusant Witness who rebelled against the law last winter? If this be true, and hot a vile slandei, (as we long hoped,) why does not the "Telegraph" expose sach desertion of principle—such' treachery to the people? Has it becorne bloated with Treasury pap that it cannot speak! We hope and believe better things of that Champion of Equal Rights. But we will never suffer such Masonic conduct—such betrayal of the people to remain unknown, if we know it. The Presidency. .OrThe Boston Advocate asks, "Why does not Mr. STEVENS and his strong men come out for Mr. Van Buren?" We have no authority to answer for those gentlemen; but we can'give several reasons whylt would seem to us that Political Anti. Masons cannot support Mr. Van Buren: Firstly—Mr. VAN- BUREN has always belonged to the Masonic party—to the par ty opposed to Anti• Masonry. Secondly—W e cannot support Mr. Van Buren without suppot ting the Electoral tick et that will vote for R. M. Johnson for Vice President. Now, beside other black spots on Mr. Johnson's character, he is a high adhering Mason. How, then, can Anti• Masons support the Van Buren and Johnson Electoral ticket in any State of this Union? Will Mr. HALLurr, whom we respect as a firm and sincere Anti-Mason, inform us how he gets over this difficulty? Thirdly—la Pennsylvania, a large pro portion ofthe Van Buren Electors are bigot ted Masons—Masons who refused to obey the law in the late Investigation. Here then, no true Anti-Mason can vote that tick et. Will our sound friend of the Pittsburg Times tell us how we are to vote the Van Buren ticket and still be Aati•Masonicl Our condition is a difficult one—made so by the filly, if not insincerity, of the Attor ney Genernl and some others who ought to have acted more honesty, or not acted at all. But still let us not involve ourselves in the fatal inconsistency of voting for Masons. Let•us preserve at least one ,spark of pure Anti-Masonic fire to re•kindie the mass with after the folly of the present campaign io over. • • Otr . Tllo PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATcs accompanied by his Private Scare . tary, left Washington City on Sunday night :week last, for his residence fn Tennesaee; and the Vxca-PRESIDENT, in company with the Secretary of the Navy, has wended ,his way _North!

' GOVERNOR RITNER'S TOAST.—The fol lowing sentiment was given by Governor RITNEn at the Dauphin County Anniversary Celebration. The Union of those States—Out best interest requires that it should bo permanently uninter• rupteid. But to render it permanent, all improper interferonco with the municipal concerns of the states, respectively. must bo resisted; whether such interference emanates from secret combine tions—a single State—a combination of States— or from the Fodoral Government. The following insulting toast to the char- acter an , 1 sovereignty of Pennsylvania, was sent by Amos Kendall, that ragged adven turer from Kentucky, who for the time be ing, has been placed at the head, of the Post Office department:— "The new Bank of the United States—The monstrous offspring of an unnatural connection,it walks abroad with a lie on its forehead. It palpa blo wrongs can be made vested rights by corrupt legislation, what security have the people for any right they possess?" CHAIN SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER THE Nitno.tiu.—Books were open l cd in New York on the 4th inst. for subscriptions for the erection of a suCipension bridge from Lewistown to Queenstown, acts of incorpo• ration having been obtained from the Legis latures of New York and Upper Canada.— Able engineers have given their opinion that the work is not only practicable, but that it will be ultimately profitable.

Urchin, Captain Bridges, which arrived yesterday from Galveston Bay. By her we are infiirmed that a letter was received at Velasco, Texas, on the 22d inst. direct from the Texian Commiesioners at Metamoras. The substance of the letter was, that they, the commissioners, who it is known were there sent by the Texian go. vernment totreat for the exchange of priso. ners, had been arrested by the Mexican au thorities and thrown into prison. Further, that all overtures or propositions made on the part of the Texians were rejected—that the liberation of the prisoners at Matamoras was positively refused, and in fine,that ing like treating with them on the basis of 'rexian Independence, would be listened to by the Mexicans. The Mexican spirit must be on the rise since the affair of San Jacinto —and we do hope for the honor at least of their Spanish ancestry, that they will not run quite so fast the next time. By this arrival - we learn also that 4000 Mexican troops were, at Matamoras-4000 at the Nueces, and 6000 at Saltillo--all, we presume, burning with a desire to meet once more the Texian rifle and spear. They will doubtless be soon gratified, for it appears that orders were issued by the Cabinet of Texas to the army, to p•oceed forthwith towards the Rio Grande,andmert their invaders, when the cry of` , Alamo." though it may come train only a handful! of gallant spit ita,will strike terror to the hearts ot pusillanimous thou•anda. When the Urchin sailed, Santa Anna and suite were still in confinement at Columbia, about forty miles from Velasco,nn the Ilrasoa river. - The cabi net of Texas, we hope,has got teen "trait" on the subject of detaining their Royal Prisoner. The annual statement of the Commerce and Navigation of the United States for the year end ing.3oth September,lB3.s. lately laid before Con frees, present/ the following general results.

Of this increase, 277,983 tons were American shipping and 73,258 tonsforeign shipping. Showing a comparative gain in favor of American. The same remarks,. with some slight variations, are applicable to clearances. The statement of actual tonnage owned in thp United Statesondicates a correspond ing increase. The returns for the year ending December 1834, show a greater amount than in any former year. WRIGNTSVILLE AND GETTYSBURG RAIL ROAD. —The stock in this road has it ap pears, been subscribed, and the Gazette is at tlitt dirty work of endeavoring to twist it thr political effect.

Mtnnurroa—faee by the publiek prinks,frOm various parts of the State, that the Series of School Books by LYMAN COBB, A. M.; of New York, is coming into very general use. Feeling, deeply, the importance of some system in the arrangement of elementary school books, 1 have spent much time in examining the various works that have appeared within the last few years; and, as the result of my research, you will permit me to state a few particulars, in which "Cobb's Books" are entitled to a decided preference First—The Spelling book contains more extensive lessons than any other in use. It will be found that no word is inserted twice in any spelling lessons of this work Taking the numerous repitions of most other spelling books into the occolint, and it will be found that Cobb's contains almost twice as many words as A ny other spelling book extant. Second--They are carefully graded to the capacity of the learner. The first Reading Lessons consist of only words of one syllable—then follow a series in which are no words of more than two syllables—then of three,&c., nicely suited to the advancement of the scholar. The subjects treated of arc also each as waken an interest in the mind of the young learner ,• hence his task is pleasant, and his improvement will be rapid. 7hird-1n Spelling and Pronunciation, these works agree strictly with Johnson and Walker,the acknow ledged standards of our language. Fourth—They are never inconsistent with them selves—the only series extant that does not devi ate from its acknowledged standard, and violate its owe rules If* scholar is taught by his spelling book to write or pronounce in a curtain manner, and in his reading lessons finds a different rule laid down, and, perhaps, finds both at variance with his Dictionary, how is he to know what is truth? Such, however, is the fact in regard to many of the works heretofore used in our common schools. Fifth—THElß CHEAPNESS. oqt• Here are a Primer.
