Simi is the uneasy and vacillating character of some persons, that they are ever wont to bo en gaged (at !oast to all appoarances) in some philan. thropic work. Ensconsing themselves behind the most sincere declarations of being friends to tho "universal elevation and improvement of so ciety," they would !Irv° the public believe that they are ministering spirits sent to pour "oil upon the troubled waters;" and that the best interests of those against whom they direct their low ribaldry in a voluminous display of words, and that all they aro induced to pen,procoods from strong con victions and purity ofpurposo to interpose a mig h. ty barrier between those and their folhos—tho ul timate tendency of which is, to lead some dovotod creatures into the most abject infamy. Such, then, is the influence of ono par,t of our community which this rofinod speculator has thought proper to designate by the appellation of "Coquettes." Alas! what evils you aro about bringing upon your ago and country, by robbing the "Church, State and Literature" of some of those who, as it was thought,were destined to be come distinguished ornaments! The respect then which is duo to the Ladies of this place would be grossly neglected, were the in. famous production of "Cormoncrr" passed over in silence; such vile creatures aro the growth ofovo ry ago, who, with insidious piolessions of friend. ship,chorisli in their hearts the malignity of fiends! In view of this, when it is considered that the most moral and virtuous part of our community aro villifiod by ono whose feelings (if ho have any,) have been chagrined, it is certainly the duty of those who know the influence that females have in purifying society, to sustain their character against such abusive and uncalled for slander.— This will be a sufficiont apology fOr expres. sing our views upon the communication to which allusion has been made. Tho remark of T. Bradbury, as quoted by Condorcet, is one which is not perhaps more ap. placable to any individual of this community than to Condorcot himself. Wo have woman styled, "a ministering spirit" by this "Philanthropist," (who has taken the field to correct the folios of "poor human nature!") when she is "good,amiable and virtuous;" but ho has nut pointed out what constitutes a good, amiable and virtuous woman —thus ho is compelled to hasten and toll us that be most "heartily despises a coquette!" We sup. peso this disposition to "despise," arises from the fact, that he has boon unsuccessful in the "fairy regions of Hymen!"—Alas, poor follow! it has boon decreed by the Fatos that you must stand solus—a.inonumont of bitter disappointment! Again,wo discover this writer to bo entirely orig. loot in his definitions of "Love;" first ho defines it to be "a diretul monster," and then "a little wretch." Mehercule! that passion which rules in heaven, and without which all mcn would. Mitt Condorcet,be waging a war of petty abuse against those whom it is their duty to protect! This great Wend of "Love" says, "perhaps you are disposed to laugh at such old woman like mistrust!"— Right, Roger! At this point our grave speculator strikes a humorous vein, and indulges in a long paragraph upon laughter— "Pabuti mulatio avant' bontern est." But this short digression is immediately followed by a heart felt exclamation, "0, young man!" &c. Then, kind soul,*you cot tainly must have felt like David of old when he cried out, "0, Absalom! my sent my son!" and your philanthropic breast must. have been filled to overflowing with kindness al.ke to the Student and Mechanic! We, too, agroo that this "is emphatically an ago of wonders," and that your production is ono which will boar a prominont classification among thorn; and that thmsentiments which it contains, will doubtless render you as renowned as tho au thor of the celobratod "moon story!" : A prayer is breathed for "the descriptive pow ers of Ovid, to do justice to the mighty theme," alias, tho "little wretch:" Why tho author affects a want of descriptive powers, we cannot divine; for it must be manifest to every reader, that he is riteeloquent in ridiculing Love as Ovid was in ex tolling it. "Happier, thrice happier are those for whom the ♦es- tal dame cloth burn, . Than he, whose sordid heart can never merit such return." This would-be.corrector. of the habits of Stu dents is pleased to say, "that he has had the hon. or of rubbing his back against college walls,"— had ho not bettor have rubbed his head against them, than to commence a tirade of abuse against those whose virtues ho cannot appreciate? and all this under the pretext of being a philanthropist! "Oh, wad some pow'r the giftie gie no, To see oursel's as others see us." His fertile imagination represents a young Stu dent entering female society for the first time,pos- Bossed with extraordinary talents, but soon his natural endowments become contaminated by the contagious influence and "vitiated atmosphere" of "coquettes." It is not natural to suppose, that the short time generally spent in polite society would injure oven a common mind, much less one whose strength presaged glorious achievements. True, there may be some who aro weak enough to be captivated at their first approaching a young female; but it is thought that it matters little wbothor such spend their time at College or on thix etre° to.

Tho English language appears en tirely inadequate to convoy the sublime concop. tions suggested by tho entrance of the ladies.— "After the proper adjustment of his habiliments, he proceeded on his way to the appointed plam" nor does he fail in relating every word that passes between the parties. Certainly those young gen. Careen, who have not yet had the honor ofappear. ing for the time in female society in Gettys burgh, should feel themselves deeply indebted to him for publishing those preliminary requisites. "Without much fancy," continuos he, "one might suppose that they had been all cast in the same mould with Venus." Could any imagination, in its most fanciful flight, conjecture the capricious mood that nature was in %Arlen he was moulded? In the many and disrespectful things he has said 4 if the ladies, consistency has been entirely forgotten. They receive his giSateat displeature for, resting novels; but the letilied gentleman—. considers it no gross transgression of female deli cacy to draw an illustration frolit Byron's "Don Juan and Julia:" The writer lips made a rematable discovery which ho has been ploated to co municate to the public, viz: "that tho-minds of sorne of the fair aro even yet susceptible of inoprovernent." We aro not disposed to dopht this assertion; but tve think if his mammoth intellect be not also osuscoptiblo of Improvement," ho is at toast one exception to the general rule. Whether Condorcet has been an unsuccessful lover, rejected by the ladies, and has resorted to this method to vont his spleen, needs no common• tations. His remarks jusfify a much greater re tribution than decency, and a proper respect to NO cioty. would permit to be brought on one who ap. pears to bo insensible to all the finer feelings ofour nature. When times have altered so much that pro ductions of this kind will bo acceptable to a candid publick, Condorcet may become the most distin guished writer of his age; until then, they should be consigned, by the citizens of Gettysburg!), to the republic of"dust and ashes." Let Condorcet feast upon the pleasures ho de. rives from his unpardonable abuse of the ladies, until ho be satiated to overflowing; lot him follow the freaks of his wild and delusive imagination in all her courses, until wearied out by hor many strange and unheard of pranks; but when ho fins time to reflect on what ho has done; and reduces imagination to common sense—if ho do not then relent, his heart must be made of tempered steel. Beall this as it may, the Ladies must be s'me. what gratified when they consider, that "nature has made but one such roan, and that she broke the die in moulding" Cundorcet!

I, therefore, consider it my duty, as an Anti. Mason, to inform you of the following facts, which will, I trust, illustrate the sway of Harrisonism at the Seat of Government. In some degree, I am an Anti. Masonic friend to Gen.

Among the above Clerks, ,there are also four Masonic Jacks, or old bitter Wolfmen continued!! two Muhlenborg, and only two Anti-Masonic Harrisonmen newly appointed! This is the fruits of Harrisonism!! A number of ourpriginal Anti-Masonic friends, who laboured hard in the cause of Anti- Masonry since 1F29, such as young Mr. ALTER, (son of Mr. Jacob Alter, of Cumber. land county,) Mr. PARKER and Mr. MERCII of Dauphin County, and Mr. DOEBLER, of Lebanon County,and othors,were sacrificed, because they would not be willing to merge Anti-Masonry into Harrisonism, (though they were friendly to the election of Gem Harrison!) But it is with pleasure that I can say, that the GOVERNOR and his SECRETARY were decidedly opposed to many of the above appointments, but without effect. Harri sonism had the sway, and is now ruling with an iron rod in and about Harrisburg; and woe unto him who falls under the displea sure of the Harrison faction in this Borough; he is persecuted, and, if possible, prostrated, if he dares to question the motives of our Harmon men!!

EDITOR, Erostratus rendered his name infamous by burning the Temple of Diana, one of the wonders bf the world; still it was right for the historian to record his name, in order that posterity might know that there were villians in a former age. So, at present, it becomes necessary for the recordei of pass ing events to note the names of those intrin Firefly insignificant, in order to teach those who shall come after us that men of the meanest capacity, have in our time aspired to political leadership. If what I have above assumed, be true, thr , se who are acquainted with the present position of parties in Adams County, and with those who put themselves forward as leaders, will ho at no loss to understand the reason for introducing the names which fol low. Without talents, and without political character, it is necessary for men who desire notoriety to be vociferous in praise ofall par ty measures, and loud in denunciation of men that are not ultra in their political creed and blind in their devotiOn to party,no mat ter at what expense of public interest.— Such are the motives that actuate some of the would-be leaders of the Democratic par ty in their denunciations and abuse of men who are ns far above them, in manly inde pendence, true devotion to the interests of the Commonwealth, honesty of purpose, in fluence with the Democratic party and tal ents, as heaven is above the earth. The present manager of the "Compiler," Sndrew G. Miller, whose constant cry is, that Democracy is betrayed, was never a Democrat; his father and his grandfather were Federalists; they only differ from him in this,that they were consistent, high-mind ed, honorable men, actuated by no few or selfish motives. They would have scorned the degenerate, cringing, spaniel-like syco phant, who, the more he is kicked and chas tised, becomes the louder in his declarations of attachment to those who are the dispen sers ()frame and emolument. A little while since, he was an applicant to be appointed a Visiter to West Point; and in that appli cation he requested the illuence of those ve ry Senators that he now denounces as rene gades, traitors and dishonored men! W hen he returned from Washington, where ho MOSES. had been, I understand, he gave out that he was actually appointed, and that he made • preparations for his journey. He was not appointed! But this rebuke only served to increase his devotion to the powers that be! He thinks, that greater servility, louder and bolder slanders will carry. his point at anoth er time. He mistakes; he is too silly to be used even for a tool in so high a place. At home, he is known; he is of a price with his fellow laborer in this township, James i Clarke, that tool of a tool who was made use of last Spring by him to get the Resolu. tions, which he had prepared passed at the Berlin meeting, denouncing Mr. Middlecoff and other Senators. In his attempt he fail ed, signally failed; the Democrats of Demo cratic Berm - know the men, and appreciate their motives of those who wish to be es teemed their leaders. They know that such leadership would destroy democracy: they know that it is such moral pigmies as A. G. Miller, James Clarke and Moses Mc- Clean, least of the least, whose vanity has misled them to believe that they are compe tent to lead Democracy in the State, that have raised the cry of treachery and cor ruption against such men as- MIDDLECOFF, PENROSE, BURDEN and DICKEY, that by pulling them down, they may raise them selves up.

The Russian and Austrian Ambassa dors had forwarded to their respective Courts, and to London, a formal protest and remonstrance against the conduct of Lord Ponsonby in respect to the question, and stating unequivocally, that they will consid er as a declaration of war, any act of hostili ty commenced against Turkey by any pow er of Europe, and they are determined to maintain, to its fullest extent and meaning, the integrity of the Ottonian Empire.

Letters from Tunis are quoted, which show the possibility of a collision between the French and Turkish fleets in that quar ter, "unless that Russia shall intimate to the Porte the danger that would attend such an imprudence as a naval engagement, even ,though undertaken with a numerical superi ority over the French." An Ohio paper speaks of a boy that, at twelve years of age, weighed 160 pounds. Pretty fair weight, to be sure; but not up to Beaver county. We have a heavier case, or rather pair of cases, as follows: About three weeks ago, a pair, or match, as the case may be, were married ►n the southern corner of this county,and from the hymeneal altar were taken to the scales, they were "weighed in the bolance,"and certainly not found Wanting.

In 1839 two millions will be. come due, which may now be bought at a trifling advance; Let the share that Penn. sylvania will receive of the surplus revenue be appropriated to this object, and our state will rid itself of its cumberous load of debt, without in the least arresting her public im provements or oppressing her citizens. It is important that the people think of these thinas. The Masonic Van Buren party openly denounce the law distributing the surplus revenue amongst thestates,_and if they obtain a majority in the next Legis lature, they will reject the portion that be longs to Pennsylvania.

CO 14 BUS, (Geo.) July 29. sue WAR %VENDED 1 ET.—On Sunday morning last, a severe eng agement took place, as usual, between the Georgians and the Indians, in the neighborhood of Mr. Quail's plantation, aboe Roanoke. We have not received the particulars ofthe fight, but learn that infirmation was given to the forces stationed at Fort McCrary that fresh signs of the Indians had been discovered in a swamp in Mr. Quail's plantation; upon which, Capt. Calhoun, of DeKalb county, with a command of ninety men, was des. patched in pursuit of the enemy. In scour. ing the place, a fresh trail was found,leading out ofthe swamp in the direction of Lumpkin. It was followed. In a short time the party came up with a small gang of Indians, of thirty or more, and commenced the fight. The Indians soon fled, leaving seven of their number killed. The whites, after the first skirmish, supposed the Indians whipped,and the fight over; but they found that this ad vance party was a mere decoy to draw them into the midst of their enemies, by whom they soon found themselves completely flanked on both sides. The battle was re• newed, but the ammunition of the whites being exhausted, they wore compelled to retreat. In the eogagement,the whites lost five killed and several wounded. Among the slain were Mr. Colly, (overseer for D. P. Hillhouse, Esq.) a bravo man, and much respected; a Mr. Willis, and Dr. Orr, of De Kalb; the names of the others not yet known to us. It is said that the whites had only three rounds of cartridges apiece when the fight first commenced—a very unfortunate oversight, indeed.— Sentinel. g'q F ff) 1 1 1 (•F* il k IMO 01 Tho public excitement which, it was evi dent from '''recent indications, existed in Cincinnati against an Abolition press and its propriotors,has resulted in open violence. The following particulars aro published in a postscript to the Cincinnati Whig of Mon day last, August 1: About nine o'clock on Saturddy evening, betiii;fiec four and biro thousand people (as it is supposed) had assembled around the publication office of the abolition paper, edited by James G. Birnev and printed by A. Pugh, at the N. E. Corner of Maine and Seventh streets. In a few moments the types and printing materials of that estab lishment were seen dashing out of its win dows into the street, amid the cheers of the immense mass of people below. In a very short time the windows of the building and every thing in the office were completely demolished and strewed about the streets. The printing Press was broken to pieces, and the largest piece dragged through several of the principal streets and then thrown into the river. Thus far every thing was done in the most by stematie order and as is believed, was tacitly countenanced by a very large number ofour most respecta ble citizens. At this juncture, however, the names of Birney, Donaldson, Colby, &c. (all leading Abolitionists) were shouted by numerous voices and immediately three or four hun. Bred of the mob rushed to Bi rney's dwelling The mob were well provided with tar and. feathers. On arriving at Birney's house, the abolition editor was demanded—his son, a youth of about sixteen, came to the door and assured the multitude that his father was not at home, It was soon satisfactorily ascertained that he had left the city in the stage for Hills. borough several hours previously. The mob then directed their course to the Douse of one of the Donaldsons, (the other resid ing in the country) and demanded him to be delivered up to them. Some ladies carne to the door, and pledged their word that Donaldson was not at home, and assured the multitude that no one but ladies were in the house. The mob immediately departed in search of, hut did not succeed in finding him. It was afterwards ascertained that he had fled from the house a few minutes before the arrival of the mob, and had escaped through an alley or retired street to some unknown place. The cry of "Church Alley" was now resounded through the mob. This is a place where a quantity of black and white men and women, of infamous charac ters reside, huddled promiscuously together in five or six small buildings. In a few minutes the Inmates of these wretched bro. thels were turned_ into the . streets, and the windows or the buildings, nod every article which the buildings contained det-t roved and scattered to the four winds of Heaven. Here by the peaceable interference ofseveral citi zens, the progress'of the mob was arrested, (as was Supposed, finally) every body appa rently, promising to disperse and go hom e . An hour or two afterwards, two or three hundred again collected together and demol, ished the windows - and furniture of 8 or 7 amail negro houses of had character on and near the corner olColumbia and Elm streets, in the part of the town commonly called the 9 %wimp. In the course of this at tack a :;ua was tired from a window oboe oft he houses, and a young man by the name of Kinsey wee severely shot in the hip and leg. by large sized pigeon shot. The wound we believe, is not considered very dangerous, though he was perforated with twenty odd shot. 'I he, mob 'having accompli-hod all they intended, finally dispersed about three o'clock on Sun day morning. From tho Cincinnati Whig of August 3. MORE MOB SPIRIT. On Sunday night last a large number of persons were congregated in fiont of the Franklin House,on Main street near Fourth, under the impression that James G. Birnev was secreted in the House. They demanded a search, and a committee ofseveral persons was appointed, who after examining every room in the Muse reported that he was not there. The as4ernblage was then addressed by our worthy Mayor; who urged upon them the propriety and necessity of their dispers ing and going home,which they arbordingly did. The town has been quiet and orderly ever since. From tho Gazette of P3MQ In whatever light the doings or Saturday night may be regarded throughout the coun try, generally, it is very plain that the work was not the contrivance adult class of men, with whom mobs are usually associated.— We are too much in the mule of the actors to adventure an opinion on the suldeet.

PENNSYLVANIA ' S SHARE OF THE SURPLUS REVENUE.—By the act of Congress author izing the division of the Surplus Revenue, among the States, Pennsylvania will, on the first of January next, be entitled to about TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS—perhaps more? How should this money be appropriated. We can conceive of but one answer to this question. It is the part of honesty as well as the dictate of policy in every individual, who is desirous of becoming independent, and of enjoying a proper degree of credit, to embrace the earliest opportunity of pay ing his just debts. So with a State. Penn sylvania, it is well known, is now crippled with a debt or more than twenty-.two millions of dollars, incurred in creating her impor ' tent canals and rail roads. Upon this debt she will be compelled to pay interest for a series of years—until the whole. amount shall be liquidated. This interest will be taken out of the pockets of the people, either by direct taxation, or in some other equally exceptionable mode. If, however, the Sur plus Revenue shall, as fast as received, be appropriated to the payment of the State Debt, our credit will improve, our people will be relieved of taxation, and in the course of a few years, we shall be out of debt • and, in a condition to enter upon some other im portant undertaking. Under such circum stances it strikes us that the sum to which Pennsylvania will be entitled, should be ap propriated to the liquidation ofthe State debt, and hence the reduction of the taxes of the people, and the general prosperity of the. Commonwealth. Pennsylvania out of debt —with her Treasury well provided with funds—and her noble internal. improvements in the full tide of successful experiment, would present an example of good govern ment, worthy the beat days of the republic. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Tin REV. Mn. indi vidual was committed to the jail °four Conn ty,about two weeks since, charged with the murder of Nicholas Kohll, of the , township of Nockamixon. At 4 o'clock of the alter. noon of Wednesday last, he was brought before his honor Judge Fox, on ailabeas Corpus, the object of which was in have him discharged altogether, or admitted to Bail. Mr, M'Dowell appeared as counsel Cor the prisoner, and the Prosecuting Attor ney for the Commonwealth. After an ex amination of tour or five of the prominent witnesses for the prosecution, the Judge directed bail to be given in the sum of $l5OO for prisoner's appearance at next Court, to.: answer such matters wherewith he may be charged. Bail was immediately procured and the Reverend gentleman set at lih6rty. —Doylestown Inidligeneer. GUBERNATORIAL RENCONTRE.—The Port• lurid Advertiser publishes an extract from a letter from Ohio, describing .a singular ren contre between Gen. Boynton of Ohio and thb Hotspur Gr , vernor of Michigan. The writer was a witness of the scene—which took place at Detroit. it appears that a conversation arose relative to the boundary line and the admission of Michigan with tho Union. Otßuiled at some remarks that Gen. B inadveitently dropped while dining at the American Hotel, Mason - seized the. carving knife and made an attempt to heart him. Gem B. saw his, movement in lime to war d ofr the blow, wrenched the knife from him--threw him on to the floor, put his foot on him and tore his coat to pieces— then threw him into the streets, seized a loaded hnrso.whip and gave him a severe flagellation, which, the writer remarks, "soon cooled his ire." EscAl'r•, OE A TEXAN PEMONER.—We learn from the New Orleans Advertiser, of the 21st, that Major Mur.mt, of t h e Texan Army, (who was recently confined in prison at Mammorns) effected los escape by means of a quaint disguise,must admirably adapted --being apparelled in n dress peculiar to old ago, with the addition of a venerah:e, flow ing white beard, a bunch back of portly di mansions, and features to correspond with his increased years. MEXICO, TEXAS AND TIIEUNITED STATES. —We received by the last mail New Or leans papers to the 27th of July, from which we extract the annexed important intelli gence. The perfidiousness heretofore dis played by the Mexican commanders has prepared us to believe the accounts of their onspirncy with the Indians within our ter ritory—but we have little app onsion either for our frontier or that of TeIMIE. The Indians will be subdued, before they can perfect their plans, and the Mexicans, left to their own resources, will either evacuate Texas in flight and disgrace, or be driven from it by the superior force of their rebel lious province. There is, however, good reason to believe that the Central Govern. mont established by Santa Anna will be abolished and the constitution of 1824 be reinstated in its stead. A number of the provinces have already declared for it, and the discomfiture or retreat of the army now -invading Texas would give the finishing stroke to "a system originally established in defiance of the fundamental law of the nation. From tho Now Orloom Bulletin, Tilly 27 A letter from a highly respectablesource, • dated at Matamoros the 29th ult. says—"lt is an undoubted fact that this Government (the Mexican) have made, or are making a treaty to engage eight thousand Indians to join them. The Cherokees are already enn►aged. There are fourteen or fißeen chiefs of different tribes within,a few miles of here, who have daily communications with the officers. The commissioners wore this morning turned into the common prison with the criminals. It is not improbable we shall be invited to take French leave of this country soon." The Pmrsnuna GrazErn:, on the 29th July, completed the fiftieth year of its news paper existence. The first number of that paper was issued on the 29th July, 1786. It was the first paper established west of the mountains, if not west of the Susquehanna river in that state; and, by the blessings of a vigorous constitution,and abundant health• ful nutriment, has attained an age, which Is seldom realized by itb kind. It was for many years published weekly; afterwards, for ten or twelve years twice a week; and for the last three or four years it has been published daily; and from its spirit and vigor, we see no reason to doubt Its existence through another half century.—Balt. Pal. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.-11 is stated in the Philadelphia Inquirer of yesterday, that a number of twenty dollar counterfeit notes purporting to be of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Philadelphia, were put in circulation in that city on Monday last. They are said to be well executed—the fill ing up and signatures admirably done, but the paper bears too much of a pink hue.— As the circulators appear to have been ex ceedingly active in Philadelphia, it is not unlikely that they may have made arrange• inents fora movement of the same kind here, in which case, it would be well to keep a good look out.—lbid. KENTUCKY VOLUNTEERS.—Tho Mays ville Eagle of the 3d inst. says, there has been a noble response to the cull of the Governor of that State, for volunteers, for Gen. GAINES' army. The ten companies culled for by the executive proclamation, had been already reported to the Adjutant General, on the preceding Friday; and that paper deems it probable that the whole number of companies formed will be swelled to twenty.five or thirty.--Ibid. The corner stone of the Theological Seminary of the German Reformed Church, is to be laid, with appropriate ceremonies, in Mercersburg, (Pa.) on Wednesday next. RESCUE OF SLAVES IN BOSTON.—Two fe male slaves, having absconded from Balti more, were followed by a police officer of that city to Boston, where they were recog nised on board a brig just arrived, and plac ed in custody of the captain,until the officers could take the necessary legal steps to re convey them to Baltimore. In the mean time, a habeas corpus was taken out by the friends of the runaways, and the girls were brought before Chief Justice Shaw. After a hearing, the Judge remarked that it did not appear that the Captain had sufficient authority to detain the slaves. The counsel for the claimant was then proceeding to ad dress the court, when there was a simulta neous rush of "most of the blacks in the room towards the door;" and, despite the order' of the Judge that the prisoners should remain in the custody of the Sheriff; the two women were hurried of; placed in a car riage and driven rapidly away. Pursuit was immediately, made; but without success.— The outrage has created great excitement in Boston. Its perpetrators evil! not, ought not, to he permitted to, go "unwhipt of jus tice."

KrThe Harrisburgh Telegraph asks us "where was the Anti-Masonry of Adams county on the 4th of July last?" We answer, it was in the hearts and souls of our freemen; and there it will remain and cannot be washed out by the Hood of Harri son folly, which has so polluted and muddied the principles and conscience of our friend Fenn—aye, we fear, even Fenn! It was not found showing itself at Whig celebrations, with Royal Arch vcuii and Royal Jack Tonto! Oz:7-We regret to see the Harrisburgh Telegraph indulge in calling Anti Masonic Editors "TRAITORS," because they pre fer Van Buren to Harrison. This savours somewhat of the "Action" Resolutions of the Harrisburgh meeting. We have already said that we think it an error to support Van Buren; but it is no more Masonic to do so than to support Har rison. He who does it,is no more a "traitor" to Anti-Masonry than Mr. FENN who sup ports Harrison. Such language is not cal culated to sustain Anti-Masonry, or the An ti-Masonic Administration. Bat the Pitts burgh Times is fully able to answer for it self. Franklin County. (* -- We learn that l'noxas Causos and JOHN F. DENNY, Esqs. are nominated for the Assembly in Franklin county- The meeting must have been a pie-bald concern! Mr. Carson is an excellent man and true Anti-Mason, and we trust will be elected. Mr. Denny is, individually, we understand, beyond objection; but as a politician, he has no one merit to commend him to Anti-Ma sons. He is their bitter opponent and re viler; opposed their ticket at thiii.last e!eetion; and supported that tool of Masonry, George Wolf, in preference to our present mtel ligent and patriotic Governor! We trust no Anti-Mason will give him his vote, no matter who else succeeds. Let usperserere until those dastard Jacks become either Anti-Masonic or Masonic arowedlg.

Major Eaton, his Lady-. Miss Timberlake and Miss Eaton and the Hon Richard Rush and son sailed from New York on Monday, in the Packet Ship Independence for Liver pool. The Richmond Compiler spt=ddiw of the Innovations of the prex•nt -dav, says -the ladies have even adopted dredislazian backs, despising their natural proportions, with a view to some magical influence on the hearts of the rougher sex; and no one is now satis fied with any thing that bygone time have produced.

The Pennsylvania Sentinel and Richmond liThig have been cross•examming each oth• er, and from the"ovidence we gather the fol lowing facts:—WM. C. PRESTON, is a Phila delphian, but the Whig says it must have been by accident, as his father, Gen. nun- CU PRESTON, was always a resident of Vir ginia. Governor HAMILTON, now of South Carolina, is a native of Lancaster County, Penn. Mr. WALKER, of Mississippi was born in Pennsylvania, and formerly practis ed law in Alleghanv County. Mr. HEN DRICKS, a Senator from Indiana, was from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The late PHILIP DoDDItIDGE, of Virginia, and Hon. Tnos. EWING, of Ohio, were born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Hon. JOHN PArrEnson, of Ohio,is also a Pennsyl vanian. ROBERT FULTON, from the hints given by the Sentinel, is presumed to have been born in the Key Stone State. ALBERT GALLATIN is stated to have been born at Geneva; and Dr. BIRD, the novelist, is from Delaware. Tun THING Is up.—We yesterday re ceived from Mrs. Royal!, whose arrival we announced on Saturday morning,the annex ed Card, which we publish with much plea sure; not only as a matter of justice to the lady, but as containing a highly important political announcement. When the previous paragraph was penned, we had but little idea that matters had come to an open rup- ture between this lady and Mr. Van Buren. [U. S. Gazette. A CARD.—Mrs. ROYALL 18 astonished at a paragraph published in tho United States Gazette on Saturday morning last, respect ing herself. Insinuating that she is friend ! ly to Mr. Van Buren! If there is a man in these United States. whose political course Mrs. Royal' abhors and detests above all others, Mr. Van Buren is that man, and hav ing visited this city with a view of procuring ascistance to put Mr. Van Buren down. Philadelphia, Aug. 6th, 1836. THE GREAT UNTAKEN, is the title which the Philadelphia Gazette bestows. upon Oceola, the Seminole chief. Not bad. By the way, Oceola is said to bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Van Buren in one res pect: Ho never commits himself. The Globe says,—"Tho people of Texas ought to hold Santa Anna, and every Mexi can in their power, or who may fall in their power, as justly subject to fall under the law of retaliation, for every Texian hereafter subjected to military execution; and we are sure that the United States will hold Mexico responsible for the life of any citizen of these States who may suffer under the new fangled doctrine which we have combatted." The papers throughout are keeping up a fire of wit at the marriage of , a Mr. Steel with a Miss Flint, in New Hampshire. One of the papers down East, says they were married a year ago, and its shameful to keep them before the public so long as they have done nothing more than produced a little spark! Rev. Mr. Robertson, American missiona- TIT to Greece, arrived at New York, on Saturday, in the brig George from Bor deaux. Exmcss Wm.—The Postmaster Gene ral has advertised for proposals, under tho late law, for carrying an express mail from New York to Columbus in, Georgia. At the latter place it will unite with the steam• boat mail, and be thence convoyed to Now Orleans. The time occupied between New York and New Orleans will be about six and a half days. The time from New York to Washington will be 24 hours, viz: from 5 o'clock; P. M. to the same hour of the fol lowing day. From Washington to New York 22i hours, leaving Washington at half past 4 o'clock, P. M. and arriving at New York at 3 o'clock. 1t is not proposed to be continued from New York to Boston as it could not equal :n speed the steamboat mail. • The following is an advertisement in a Philadelphia paper: "SrotEN.—A watch, worth a hundred dollars.

But from a paragraph in the last Missouri Republican, it would seem that the course of the paper has met with as little approbation and favor at the latter place as at St. Louis. The Republican of the 2rth ult. states that the material of the late "St. Louis Observer" was treated very unceremoniously on its ar rival at that place a few days before. "As seen as it was discharged from the boat, the press was broken to pieces, and the type scattered on the wharf. '—But[. Pat. THE CROPS.—The Cumberland (Md.)

Whilst the fact of any such applicant being an adhering Mason would certainly not'be regarded by me as constituting a ground of' preference, I could not, at the same time, look upon either circumstance as creating a disqualification for office, if the applicant should prove ..o be, in all other reepectsovell entitled thereto.

OzrWo observe from the proceedings of the Franklin County Convention, that no Anti Masonic Conferees were appointed to meet those from Adams to settle a Congres sional and Convention ticket. Of course, those from this county will have the whole business in their own hands, as it is not to be presumed that they will confer with the mongrel brood appointed by the "Demo cratic Rept/Mean' Delegates fiiendly to .

TILE CIIWINNATI MOD.—The Cincinna- i Gazette intimates in a late number, that the recent mob proceedings and outrages in that city had their origin in consideratione of interest, not principle—that it was a "bu siness transaction." In support of this view of the matter it quotes some very severe animadversions on the proceedings. contain• ed in certain religious aid other weekly pub lications, which were circulated in the very midst of those proceediogs, while the busi ness papers of the city were not allowed to speak above their breath, except in terms of approbation. ,As a "business transaction"—no matter what may be the object of popular punish ment or vengeance, for the time being—. these lawless outrages upon person and pro. petty are in every possible view of the sub ject indefensible, and can never fhil to prove a "bad business" to the community which tolerates them. So it has ever been; so tt will ever be—until the foundations of civil. ized society shall be uprooted, and man, the animal, having abdicated his mental rule, shall become reduced to the common level of the animal creation.—Ban.
