Resolved, That from the superior talents of THADDEUS STEVENS, Esq. his de votion and untiring zeal in maintaining "the supremacy of the laws,"and the equal rights of the people, notwithstanding we do not a gree with him in opinion on some points of policy, he should be held in the highest es timation by every real friend of the cause of Anti-Masonry.

Sin: A Harrisburgh correspondent of the Gettysburgh Star, in the last number of that paper, pretends to' give an account of the politics of the different Clerks in four of the State Departments at this place. As gross injustice is done, by the letter writer, to some of the persons named, and the heavy imputation of deserting the principles of An ti-Masonry, is attempted to bo cast upon some of the heads of those Departments, 1 subjoin a trde list of the officers and their politics, so far as they have come to my knowledge, that error may be corrected. Slate Treasurer's Department. Mr.NEnsoN—a Mason,recusant witness and a Wolf man. Mr. PIPER—an Anti-Mason. The only cause of suspicion about him is that he held office under the former Masonic Treasurer. Young Mr. LAWRENCE—of the same politics with his father, who was elected Treasurer by Mr. Stevens and the Anti. Masonic Legislature. ONE VACANCY—not filled, because of some difficulty between the members of the Legislature. Mr. ISAAC Hovzs—Messenger, Masonic Wolf Jackson man, wholly unfit. He is al so Messenger to the Auditor General's_of fice and the Canal Commissioner's room. Auditor GeneraPs Office. Dr. HAIII3IOND—a renouncing Mason and a most consistent Anti•Masoa. 'rho renun ciation of Hampton and Hammond, at Som erset, some years ago, is known to all who know any thing of Anti-Masonry. Mr. CLARK—an Anti-Mason,son ofJudge Clark,of this county. .• Mr. Jams—one who was when young a Mason, but as soon as the murder of Mor gan became known, seceded from the lodge, and ever since 1829 supported Joseph Rit ner and the principles of Anti• Masonry— . at his own expense, he published a German Anti-Masonic Almanac in 1629, in Berke county. • Mr. CueuLEs - Mowrvir—a Mason, Wolf man and probably for Van Buren. He was formerly Canal Commissioner, and Editor. ONE VACANCY-oot filled; because it is supposed that the business of the office can be carried on without another clerk. Surveyor General's Office. Mr. EYSTER-a Mason, Jackson Wolf man. Mr. DAVIES—a Whiggish Anti-Mason. Mr. BARSNAN-.-:an Alai-MEMO. He was Editor of one of the first Anti Masonic papers established west' of tho Mountains. Young Mr. TAYLOR—an Anti-Mason. Land Office. Mr. HENDERSON—an Anti-Mason. He was an Anti• Masonic member of the Legis lature from Washington county, four years ago. Mr. Dom.-----a seceding but not a renounc ing Mason. He acted with the Anti-Ma sonic' party for years, and refused .to sign Mr. D. Krause's renunciation, because it was not strong enough.

From the Pennsylvania Telegraph. The Surplus Revenue and the State Debt. The state debt of Pennsylvania is known to be about' W EN TY-FI VE MILLIONS. The interest of this, omounting annually to more then TWELVE HUNDREDTHOU SAND DOLLARS,wiII absorb all the reve nue and resources of the Commonwealth for years to come. The state debt will, therefore, have to remain on the shoulders of the people from generation to generation, unless it be paid by taxation, or by the surplus fund of the general government. By the law authorising the division of the surplus revenue, the share that Pennsylvania will be entitled to, on the first of January next, will probably exceed FOUR MILLI ONS, and if the law should not be repealed, her share will be annually thereafter about TWO MILLIONS. Hillis money should be taken and appropriated to paying off the state debt, Pennsylvania, in a few years, would not owe A DOLLAR, and the people would be entirely relieved from the state debt without paying a dollar! How im portant then it is that the people should vote for men to represent them in Congress, and in the Legislature, who are friendly to the law! The Van Buren party openly denounce it, and if they obtain a majority in the Le gislature, they will REJECT the portion coming to Pennsylvania, and if they obtain a majority in Congress, they will repeal the law! This is not idle speculation, but sober truth. The people of Pennsylvania have MI LLIONS at stake in the present contest, and if they prove true to themselves, they will relieve themselves of debt without a resort to taxation. Let the Farmers and Mechanics of the country look at this fact, and talk of it to their neighbors; and when the day of election arrives, let them go to the polls and vote for the candidates in favor of receiving and appropriating the surplus revenue to pny off the state debt. No man who holds property should feel tndifferent on this subject. .anti-Nais Rurenism afloat an the Delaware River.

When Mr. Van Buren first opened a law office,it is said he had for a lacquey a French man who had been in the service of T,alloy rand, and from this servant he is supposed to have learnt many of his small manoeuvres. The first lesson is said to have been as fol lows: One morning a Mr. Carlton, a tallow chandler, who had known Mr. Van Buren in his younger daysmishing to be courteous, called for a friendly visit. He ring* at the door,and the Frenchman appears. "Is Mr. Van Buren in," inquired Mr,. C. "Bair," says the lacquy, "vill you be so good itsgive de name,and I shall see ifMons. Van Buren be at homer "My name is Carlton,the tallow chandler," replied Mr. C. "Yes sair;" and away goes the lacquey, while Mr. C. waits at the door. "Mons. Van Buren," says the lacquey, "Mons. Carlton, de tallow man, vish to know if Mons. Van Buren at home." "I don't wish to see Mr. Carlton," was the reply. "Tell him lam not nt home." •"Yes sair, I shall." "Sair," says the lacquey to M r. C." M 0119. Van Buren not at home, sair." "What!" replied Mr. C. "not at home?— why I saw him cross the hall yonder." "Sair, you doubt my veracity, sair, I say Mons. Van Buren not be at home, sair." "But I know he is at home, for I saw him," was the reply. "Sair, sair, you doubt my veracity, sair! Mons. not be at home, sair; I say he not be at home." "Very well; I will remember him," was the indignant reply of the insulted, mechanic. On the return of the lacquoy to his master. the following colloquy, is said to have been held: "Mons. Van Buren," said the lacquey, "Mons. Talleyrand no do dis way—he not say not at home to Mons. Carlton." ".Ah, how then—what would the great Talleyrand have done?" inquired the Magi cian. Says the lacquey—"l say to Mons. Tal leyrand, Mons. Carlton, de tallow man, vish to see Mons. Talleyrand. Mans. Talley Tulle)- rand says, "damn Mons. Carlton—l no vish to see him; but show him in, show him in." Veil, I show Mons. Carlton de room." "A h, how you do, Mons. Carlton?" says Mons. Talloyrand; "how your family? how you prosper in your business? can 1 do any ling for you? can I speak a good word to de king? I extremely happy you call see me—you do me dis honor, you do me dis honor." And Mons. Carlton go away de happiest man; (ink he greatest man in do nation, except de king, and Mons. Talleyrand de next. Ho no go away and say "I remember him,—no, he de happiest man, and Mons. Talloyrand always sure his vote." On this lesson, Van Buren is said to have improved; and over after when the tallow man,or any mechanic, calls on him, he says, "damn him, show him in." From the Baltimore Chronicle. Extraordinary Murders!! It appears that two most singular murders were recently perpetrated—one at the Her mitage, on the Bth of August, by President Jackson! and the other we believe on the 18th, by the Chief Justice of the U. States!! —the one involving the destruction of the whole "Globe"—the other of the pseudo "Republicans." The exciting causes which produced these two murders are not exactly known, but some are so ili-natured as to con jecture that the first was designed to pro duce a mere political juggle, for the tempo rary purpose of operating favorably on a most respectable portion of the American people, and that although the "Globe" be thereby destroyed, the Texans will be sure to revive with renewed force after the elec tions!! As to the second, all seem to concur in opinion that though it involves a total de struction ofthe pseudo Republicans and their infamous leader, yet the true and honorable patriots of that much abused name,will most certainly also revive even before and great ly after the elections, but with new bodies and under a new and more lasting name, all for their country's good—and that the dis tinguished perpetrator of the act, however murderous in point of fact it be, was still ac tuated by the purest of motives, and will probably receive a Nolle Prosequi from. President Jackson. These extraordinary events are strongly characteristic of the times,and will present to the world the ano malous and perhaps solitary instance of two murders being committed, the first with an evil design, the second with a good one, the evil design being destined not to succeed,t he good one equally destined to succeed. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. , PAR rionn,p rneTuni.—The picture pre sented below of General Jackson and Louis Philippe shaking hands, (says the Washing. ton Mirror,) is excellent. A parallel might be drawn between these two worthies, if there were a Plutarch to do it. They both came into office as men of the people, and they have both assumed a thousand times the power which was entrusted to them.— They are both despots, and they both ride roughshod over the rights and the liberties of the people. The diverging point is the greater tyranny of General Jackson; for if the French king had committed one-half theoutrages which the American President has, he would have gone where Louis Capet went, in the twinkling of a broad axe. "A gentleman who keeps an extensive mercantile establishment in this city informs us, that for the last three months, most of the gloves he has imported from France,are sent over in boxes,containing several dozens each. On the outside of every box is an engraving representing Louis Philippe and General Jackson shaking hands: the Capi tol on one side, and the Tuilleries on the other. The gloves are labelled on the box "cants de la Reconciliation" (Reconcilia tion Gloves.)—Phil.

TRADE OF CLEVELAND.—We learn from the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald that there were received at tharplace during the month of July last--47,758 barrels of Flour; 67,022 bushels of Wheat; 58,067 bushels Corn; and 1,087 hogsheads of Tobacco. The Van Buren Republican party of the First Congressional District of Pennsylvania --lately represented in Congress by Dr. SUTHERLAND Who declines a re•electiou— have nominated Col. LEMUEL PAY NTER as their candidate for Congress at the next . _ election. LARGE SALR.—We learn from the De. troit Free Press, that all that part of the Oass farm lying next to Fort street, amount ing to about 400 acres, was purchased a few days since by Messrs. 0. Newberry, Benja min B. Kercheval, F. P. Hestings, and C. C. Trowbridge, Esquires, for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ANECDOTE —A farmer once hired a Ver monter to assist in drawing logs.

By a law of Maryland, passed in 1715, if a white man marry a black woman, he ren- ders himself liable to be sold to the highest bidder,as a slave, for the term of seven years, and vice versa. The said law is still in force there.

A FAcT.—At a baptism in the western part of the State, a few weeks since, a girl of a shy disposition about to be immersed, very naturally resisted the attempts of the minister to lead her into the water, and after a short struggle began to sob and cry with great violence. At this moment while a crowd ofspectators were anxiously watching the result, a younger brother of the girl stepped up and exclaimed in an undertone, "Don't be scared Sal, they're only in fun!" "TuosE Lips so SWEET."--Rats it seems, know what's good, as well as other people. A maiden lady was awakened from her "delicious sleep" the other night in this town, by very familiar caresses, from somebody.

A REAL FRIEND TO TIIE cAuqc OF TEM• PERANCE.—We learn from the New York papers that EDWARD C. DELAVAN, Esq. of Albany, has announced his intention of im mediately resigning his place as Chairman ofthe New York State Temperance Society. In making the announcement, Mr. D. takes the occasion to state that, in consequence of the peculiar state of the public mind during the past year, on account of the stand taken by the society against all intoxicating drinks, he had thought it best to desist from all ap plication for pecuniary aid, and had carried on the operations of the society out of his own funds, which 'had taken nearly half of his income. In retiring from the post Mr. D. also states that.ho has set apart for the use of the' Temperance Society, from his own funds, a further sum of ten thousand dollars—so that Its management may pass into other hands in a healthful state. Mr. Delavan being a "te.total man." is blamed by many for his radicalism in the temper aace cause. A person may have queer and perhaps unorthotrfox notions upon any given subject, as well as that of temperance, but t the man win shells out his cash in this lib. eral style, must at least have credit. for sincerity—a virtue by no means too com mon in these degenerate days.—Balt. Pat. Letter from Gen. Jracksou.to the Gov. of ifienitttky. HERMITAGE, Aug. 7,1636. Sim—Arriving at this place the even ing of the sth inst., 1 was made acquainted chi h the requisition. of Gen. Gaines on the Governors of Tennessee, Kentucky, Missis sippi and Lou isiano, for 1000 men from each State. The letter of Gen. Gaines and the proclamation of Governor Cannon, of Ten nessee, made known the basis of this requi sition. Regarding the reasons assigned by General Gaines as not consistent with the relations which we have maintained with Mexico, since the existence of the civil war in Texas, or with those which it is our duty and wish to cultivate with that Government, as long as it observes good faith and friend• ship in its intercourse with the United States I feel myself called on to inform you that that requisition has not received my appro bation, and that 1 trust, if the men called for have been brought into the field, you will forthwith cause them to be mustered and discharged, and await fir further orders from the General Government in respect to any other requisition for the militia. The 10,000 volunteers authorized by the late act of Congress have been apportioned among the States and Territories nearest to the theatre of actual or apprehended hostilities from the Indians. They arc considered sufficient, combined with the regular troops, to maintain the peace of the frontier, and to terminate the war which now exists with the Creeks and Seminoles. All of them have not been brought into the field, but Gen. Gaines was notified that 1000 volunteers in Arkansas,nnd 1000 in Missouri, had received orders to be organized and held in readiness for one year's service, should the emergency arise nicking their employ- Mont necessary on the frontier now com manded by him. This circumstance makes the present requisition of Gen. Gaines still more unaccountable, particularly as it is believed that our Western frontier is now tranquil. Under these circumstances, you will please cause the troops called for by the requisition in question, if they have been raised, to be discharged. They will be paid as soon as nn appropriation by Congress can be obtained for this purpose. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON. To his Excellency Mr• MonnpnAD, Governor of the State of Kentucky. LATE FROM TEXAS—The Louisville (Ky.). City Gazette, of the 15th states, on the authority of Capt. LAWRENCE, of the regu lar Texian service, late a lieutenant in Capt. Allen's company from Cincinnati (who left Velase° on the 18th and Galveston on the 25th July,) that no advance had then been made by the Mexicans, nor was any antici pated until late in the season, perhaps not before December. The Mexicans were stated to be about 5000 strong at Metamoras, and about 4000 at Nueces. The forces of Texas were posted at Victoria, and were stated to be in fine health and spirits, and well supplied with munitions of war. The army was constantly receiving accessions of strength. The people had "planted corn," and had the prospect of an abundant crop— it was the only crop cultivated in Texas the present season. It was thought that so soon as Gen. Houston should be able to resume the command, an attack by sea and land would be made upon Metatnoras. ROBERT POTTER.—We learn from a gen- tleman high in authority from Texas, that this individual is already in disgrace. The President and Cabinet of Texas have not the power to remove any member from of fice: but they have authority to veto any of his official acts. In pursuance of this au thority, they have officially announced that no attention is to be paid to his orders, as one of the members of the Cabinet. We learn from the same source, that at the time he received the appointment of Secretary of the Navy, the Convention coarming the appointment were almost wholly ignorant of the character he carried with him from the U. States. We are highly gratified to be able to make this statement, because, the fnct that Robert Potter was thought worthy of a sent in the Cabinet of the Texan Government, has ex cited no little odium against it in the United States. When, therefore, it is understood that the Texans were imposed upon, and re paired the wrongs done to themselves as soon as they were aware of it, we hope they will cease to suffer from it.--Rutherford, (Y. C.) Gazette. THE SLAVE TRADE.-A recent traveller asserts that the Slave Trade is in full opera tion on the coast of Brazil. But a short time since, forty five Spanish vessels to the southward and 25 to the northward of the line, were engaged in this foul traffic. We regret to learn, says the Albany Advertiser, that these are chiefly American built, and such swift sailers as almost to defy capture. It seems also, that the Portuguese to the southward of the line are also extensively engaged in this business, and by the effect, of a late treaty with England pursue the business with impunity. Our authority re mai ks:—"That while Parliament is mak;ng laws to punish cruelty to animals, more than 100,000 human beings are here yearly torn from their homes and conveyed across the Atlantic,more than one-third of whom perish by disease on the passage. In addition to which, from the very moment they are kid napped, they are confined in shackles, and it is sometimes four and five months until they are shipped,and they are mostly chain ed on board afterwards. Should a vessel be chased and obliged to get rid of her deck lumber (chiefly composed of provisions,) to make her sail better, overboard go likewise some of the sick slaves (as in the case of the Argos, captured by the Charybdis,) and should she escape and run short ofprovisions before she reaches her destination,the slaves that are not likely to sell are hove overboard to make the provisions last the survivors." A FRIENDLY CARD.--R. C. Langdon, Esq.' who has just established himself as the proprietor ofan extensive Hotel at Lawrence burg, Indiana, has issued the following card: To EDITORS OF NEWSPAPERS, &c---One of your corps, it , will be seen by the above notice, has ceased his wonted vocation for a season, and assumed another, from art: editor lie is metamorphosed to a Bonifece. Instead of entering for the mental tastes or: old literary friends he is about to cut and carve fir the corporeal palates of new ones, in epieuieen style. Should any of you chance to pass this way, no matter of what political creed, you shall he sure ofa cordial reception and a hearty welcome, scot free, and truly happy will he be to greet any of. his former brethren of the toilsome art. Respectfully, &c. R. C. LANGDON. What if the proposed Editorial Conven tion were to assemble at friend Langdon's Hotel? Such a gathering would practically illustrate the difference between "catering for mental tastes" and "cutting and carving for corporeal palates." They. would soon put his case intopi, and make him wish for a speedy distribution of the odd -sorts con gregated about his hospitable board.

MORE HELP TO TEXAS.—It is stated in the Louisville (Ky.) Advertiser that a large majority of the "Jefferson Greys," a volun teer company raised in pursuance of the requisition of Gen. GAINES, but now not wanted for that service, have determined to cross the Sabine in the character of "Emi grants to Texas," if they cannot obtain leave to march to that river under the flag of the United States. It was expected the emi grant company would be commanded by Lieut. HICKS. It will consist of about sixty mounted men. The Advertiser says: "It would be a pity were the young gentlemen to be disappointed. They "turned out for a tight," and ought to have it." A FRESTI NAVAL 031E1'4—Last year, the mounting upon the Constitution, of King Log—that is, of the most violent and habit ual lawbreaker ever .seen—was regarded as a very bad presage.

LONGEVITY or Tnr.QUAKEII9.—The last number of the Moral Reformer; in an article under the above caption, says it is stated int the obituary of the Society of Friends for 1834, that out of more than 200 adults re corded in it, the ages of full one-third or more of 80 persons, are from 70 to 97 years of age, presenting un average of 85 years; full one, fifth being from 80 to 97 years old?

It was bought by Messrs. D. Stone and D. E. Cooper, with the view of being laid out in town lots and offered for sale. By the last Dayton Ad vertiser, we learn that the speculation promises to be a very good one. It appears that on the 6th inst. in less than two weeks after the purchase of the tract as above, a part of the lots were offered at public sale, and thirty•one lots, comprising in the aggre gate about six acres, were sold at an aggre gate sum of about $17,000, being at the rate of near $3OOO per acre.

HAR nisolv replied, as published in this paper a few weeks back. It appears to be offensive to his "Democratic" friends—especially thnt part which condemns their opposition to the "U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania!" Mr. Van Buren, while he declares opposition to a National Bank, says, State Banks should be permitted to enjoy their chartered rights and privileges! The Democratic Herald, an up-to-the-hub Van Buren Anti Bank pa per, discourses as follows:7— "We should like to hear some of the champions of Mr. Van Buren's Bank Letter, explain, how under the doctrine of "vested riglns," therein so eloquently and patheti cally urged —the Charter of the Bank of the United States, of Pennsylvania is to be repealed! Mr. Van Buren says these rights must be respected! How then can the party ,who follow Mr. Van Buren through all the labyrinths of his Bank logic, over proceed to violate, what ho says ought to be respec ted? We ask merely for information, Mr. Biddle's Bank being now a State Institution like that of the Girard; Moyainensing, and others!" "There is a great fall in Democratic Stock among the people, since Mr. Van Bu. ren's Bank Letter!" 0::7A greater "fall' awaits you, friend, in October next! Better come back into honest ranks! Bloody, Oath-Zwund .?laaonry! Oz:rThe "impertinent" and basely impu dent conduct of the Franklin Repository to wards Mr. STEVENS, is perfectly in accor dance with the oaths and requirements of Masonry; and should, ifthere are any honest Anti-Masons in that county, bring upon it the scorn and indignation ofevery friend of that bold and fearless Champion of Anti- Masonry. The manner in which it speaks of this print, and its Editor and Proprietor, is a matter of small account to us—it being done, as we know, to benefit and cheer a branch of the Aristocracy in this county, who has been sorely gored since the eau& filament of the "Star." To be denounced, however, as the organ of an "ILLIBERAL rAc-riow in this county," does us no harm— and we hope it will not recoil upon Mr. HARPER'S relative here; although we can not disguise the fact, that it is, mainly, by those whom the Repository denounces as an "ILLIBERAL FACTION," that the Sentinel is supported! Afasonic-4Phigu4larrisoniam in Franklin! Kr-We have before us a copy of the Chambersburgh Repository of Tuesday last. That paper is supposed to be Edited by its Proprietor, Geo. K. Harper, a bitter and bigotted member of a vile and bloody Insti. tution which has trampled upon the rights and sacrificed the lives of freemen! one who, when called before'n committee of the Lo gislature to testify in relation to his darling idol, closed his lips and "declined answering at this inclement season"—thereby prov. ing that his horrid, blasphemous Oaths and Obligations, sworn in secret, were consider. ed more binding than those which he owed to the Constitution. and Laws of his State! Such being the case, it can hardly be a mat ter of surprise to the people that a paper under such cootie!, should at all approve or relish either Anti:Ma.sonry, its principles or its supporters; but would on all occasions, as required by the "duties" of Masonry, abuse and villify such principles and their advocates. It can be no wonder, then, that the Repository has Vursued the vile course which has characterized it since the dawn of Anti-Masonry in this State. Our princi plea have been derided, misrepresented and opposed by this Knight of the Cable-tow! The prominent men of our party hay° been basely skindered and wtekedly assailed!— Indeed, no °eel* bas been suffered to pass without a valgY oqklasonic wrath being poured upon AilittlAiobry and Anti-Masons! And why all titb i t is it because of our op position to the Institution and Laws of our country? Not at all; but simply because of our opposition to bloody, guilty Masonry/ A paper of the above name, conducted in the spirit as above recited, is now before us, in which it would seem, the whole posse of the Worshipful brethren.of the Chambers burgh Lodge had joined in filling their Or gan with abuse of Mr. STEVENS, "his friends of Adms," and of our hebdornedal reckless, proscriptive paper"!!! And for what? Because we had the hardihood to say, that we hoped no Anti-Mason in Frank• -tin county would give'aniindtvidual his vote who, as we were informed, at the last elec. Lion, supported the Masonic candidate' for Governor - in preference to our present worthy and intelligent Governor. This ap. pears to have been about the "head and front of our offending!" If they pursue the course we recominetided, the "reputed dictatorial' controuler" of the Repository threatens the Anti Masons at the election with a "beggars ly account of empty boxes!" ron So, our I riends will learn, from this, what they are to expect from the MASONIC ARISTOCRACY of Franklin! Submit now to such conduct, and they may expect here. after to be gagged,bound and carried whith. ersoever the "proud Whigs" of Franklin may choose to lead them' How much bet• ter becoming FREEMEN would it be, to settle an exclusive Anti-Masonic ticket, and thereby carry out their principles,even with the prospect of defeat before them, than to submit to the permission of picking the crams that fall from the table of the Lodge! Franklin Masonic Repository! a:Tit ought certainly to be a matter of much regret to us, being, as we always are, anxious to please our Anti. Masonic friends, that we cannot for our life, "no way wo can fix it," hit upon a track to suit the views and wishes of our "loving friend and broth er" of the Franklin Repository! Such being the perverse disposition of its Editor, that we have at length determined to do all we can to displease it—hoping thereby to "hit the right nail on the head," at last! What will our friends, then, think of the Masonic High Priest of the Chambersburgh Lodge putting on the, robes of Anti-Masonry (after it has succeeded in gaining the ascen dancy in the State!) and battling side by side, under the pure "banner of Harrison and Granger"—for the candidates of the "great Democratic Anti- Masouic party of Pennsyl vania!" Aye! having lain by his cable-tow, flannel draws, paper crown, and all the oth er insignias of Princely Masonry, and de. scended into the ditch and joined in with the "vile," "proscriptive," "bloody Anti-Ma '—the "Goths and Vandals" of the day —in carrying out their principles and "put ing down Masonry!" Who would have ever thought that the proud representative of Masonic Kings, Lords and Dukes, out of pure love for Anti-Masonry and Anti-Ma sons, would over have thus humbled himself! But the world is much given now-a-days to wonders; and such a wonderful event as this, is certainly, under the circumstances, very wonderful! Our Friend of Harrisburgh. 07 — The Harrisburgh Telegraph asks, is the Star sincere in declaring a stern neutrali ty now to be the only Anti-Masonic course on the Presidency? It is. We now ask the Telegraph, what will Anti-Masonry gain in the success of Harri sonism? Will our party be increased? Will our pure principles be cherished and propa gated? Does the Telegraph not know, that to nominate and support other than political Anti-Mums, is giving the death-blow to Anti-Masonry? Has he so soon forgotten the treacherous conduct ofsome last winter who were elected as Anti-Masons? We are sorry to find the Telegraph at this late day, disposed to favor the blind belief, that the only way to make proselytes to our princi ples, is _first to elect them to vjfice! It is true, he may point to the "Offices on the hill" and say, behold the evidence! But take their offices from even some of them, and what are they then? A black coat never makes a Parson, although some sort of Par sons wear coats as black as jet! As to the base insinuation about the "tri umph of the Lodge," we merely reply, that our warfare is against Masonry as well as those who use it to defeat our opposition; and if at any time we honestly conceive that a portion of those professing Anti-Masonry, are taking open measures to merge our prin ciples into a personal party for the purpose of defeating Anti-Masonry, and thereby benefitting a part of our common enemy,we see no impropriety in standing out alone for Anti-Masonry—nothing but Anti-Masonry —but we would be committing a great im propriety in deserting our professed and proud principles, to aid those who, after leading us into the mire, would leave us there to get out the best way we could. Merge Anti-Masonry into Harrisonism, and Harrisonism is defeated, what will then become of Antt-Illasonry? W ill the Tele graph inform us?

The debate on the established church bill was not resumed on the 22d, as was expeca ted, a quorum of the house not being in at tendance. Considerable speculation ha 4 been occasioned by the event. The cause. of it is said to have been a conference held at the foreign offico,in the morning, between ministers and the vehement opponents of thlp bill, (Mr. Hume, Mr. Buller, Mr. Buxton and others,) at which there was so much disagreement that Lord John Russel threat ened to resign. His lordship, however, would not recede an inch from his determi nation to carry the bill, and the radicals were equally determined in their oppositioh- Mr. O'Connell was present and sided with ministers, so there is a split between him and the radicals. The debate was to be resumed on Monday the 25th. The Paris Moniteur of the 21st, announ ces landing of 2,500 troops, fiom the Turkish squadron, on the plains of Meselela, near Tripoli.
