(*lt is with much regret that we are compelled to call so often upon delinquent subscribers for money, but to enable us to meet our engagements, we are obliged to do so. We are greatly in need of money, and would feel under obligations to such as have paid us little or nothing for the paper, if they will come forward and make settle ment. If they do so as soon as convenient, we will be saved the disagreeable necessity of trauslering their accounts to those press ing us for money. Encampment. Oz We omitted giving in our last paper an account of the Encampment held in this place by Volunteer Companies from this and some of the neighboring towns, during the week preceding. We therefore copy this week the subjoined article from the "Compiler"—merely adding, that perfect good order was observed during the whole time, and the companies separated mutually pleased with each other. ENCAMPMENT. —Our Town assumed quite a Military character during the three last days of last week. On Thursday afternoon the Hanover Greys marched into Town, escorted by the Gottysburgh Guards—and after parading the streets, both Companies encamped near Town. On Friday morning the encampment was extended by the arri val of the Conowago Guards, Petersburg Invincibles, Oxford Light Infantry, and Gettysburgh Troop and a respectable num ber el Militia officers in full uniform. At 2 o'clock, on Friday they were mustered by Gen. Miller and paraded in the following order: Gettysburgh Troop, Capt. DIEAL, Petersburgh Invincibles, " GODFREY, Conowaio Guards, " BRADY, Oxford Light Infantry, " CAMP, Officers, Hanover Greys, Gettysburgh Guards, Their conduct and appearance were both creditable and military. On Saturday the different companies "struck their tents and marched away"—followed by the favorable feelings and good wishes of the citizens of Gettysburgh. locrWe copy the following from the Hanover '-Herald" of Tuesday last:— THE WARREN GREY9.—This handsome company of Volunteers visited Gettysburgh on Thursday last, to unite with a number of others in forming an Encampment near that place, and returned on Saturday even. ing, in good health and fine spirits. Every accommodation and convenience was pro vided by the officers of the Gettysburgh companies that lay in their power, and w wo are gratified to learn, gave gene raMtisfaction. We have been requested to return the sincere thanks of the Greys to them, and also to Gen. T. C. MILLER and DAVID Scow, Brigade Inspector, for the kindness and attention paid them during their stay, and the exertions made to render their visit agreeable.' Visrr EXTRAORDINAILY.—The Butlido Journal says:—"The President and Vico • Preindent we learn, are to meet in this city about. the 10th of. September inst. We can regard this tour through the States of first and second officers of the govern 111.114013 the eve of an important election, in 114)Other lightthan as an attempt to overawe *people. They will find, however, that Abe•le of western New rink arc too independent to be thus influenced." Oz:rln this question the people of Penn. sylvania have a great interest at stake; and, if they consult such interest, no man, how. ever much they may be attached to him, will receive their votes at the approaching elections who is opposed to the distribution of the Surplus Revenue among the States. And whenever we find men, candidates for nur votes, opposed to such a distribution,wo shall not, hesitate to raise our voice against their election, belong to what party they may. It, then, becomes our duty to deny the assertion of Mr. Van Buren's friends that he is in favor of a measure of so much importance to Pennsylvania, and to those who have heretofore been ground to the dust by unnecessary taxation. Mr. Van Buren's opinions and declarations on that question have gone to the world, and cannot be changed by any thing his friends can do or say. Such opinions and declarations are to be found in his letter to Sherrod now being published in all the Van Buren papers in the Union—from which we make the following extracts:— q' gggg'ltgq g "In my opinion, Congress does not pos sess the power, to raiso money for distribu lion amr,ng the states." "I was inclined, at the commencement of Gen. Jackson's administration, to favor the idea of a distribution annually among the states of the surplus revenue." "Time and circumstances have worked changes of opinion on the subject, from which my own mind has not been exempted" —"the experience of the last session has fully satisfied me of the impropriety of any such measure." - "It is my firm conviction, that any sys tern by which n distribution is made amongst the states, of moneys collected by the feder al government, would introduce vices into the legislation of both government, produc tive of the most injurious abets, as well up on the best interests of the country as upon the perpetuity of our political institutions. I sincerely hope, therefore, that the good sense and patriotism of the American peo ple will PREVENT THE ADOPTION OF ANY SUCH PLAN." "It is now for the majority of the people to decide whether the measure referred to shall only be tolerated a a temporary ox• pedient, forced upon the country by a con• junction of extraordinary circumstances— or, whether the distribution of the public de posites shall he the parent and forerunner of FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS of the public revenue." "I hope and believe that the public voice WILL DEMAND, that this species of le gislation shall terminate with the emergency that produced it,—that early and EFFI CIENT STEPS will be taken to prevent the concurrence of a state of things calcula ted to furnish ANY EXCUSE for any MEASURE OF DISTRIBUTION." It is an uphill business for Mr. Van Bu- ren's friends to say that a "wrong construc tion" has been put on this part of his letter; that when he declared he was opposed to the measure, he meant be was in favor of a distribution! Ho expressly declares, that Congress does not possess the power to dig tribute the Surplus Revenue among the States, and hopes that steps will be taken to prevent the success or such an important and highly to be desired measure! •To the People we would say, down with every man and every unconstitutional mea sure calculated to deprive you of your dear est rights and Interests. Guard well your avenues to Power, and let no man enter who .is not a friend to the Supremacy of the Laws and of States Rights. ();F - From the proceedings of a meeting, purporting to have been Anti-Illasonic,late ly hold in Perry county, it would seem that our friends of that county have, like their Dauphin neighbors, laid aside their pure principles and put on the more "available" trappings of a personal party! Not one word do they say in their resolutions about Anti- Masonry! Fie! fie! We long for the time when the days of delusion and folly will have passed—when honest men can, with opon eyes, behold the precipice on which their principles are now so loosely hanging-- when, seeing their folly, they will again re turn into the folds of Anti-Masonry! PRITZ, CLARIZSON. 0 - The "Harrison Reform" partly of York county have nominated for Congress, JACOB KIRK,Jr.; and for Assembly, JOSEPH GARRETSON, WILLIAM COWAN, and MI- Crum. BUCHER. We trust that Kirk and Garretson will find Anti-Masons enough in York county defeat them. They are the worst foes of our cause. The other parts of the ticket are good. The delegate to the Convention are H. Y. Slaymaker, J. Bril linger and Henry Wirt—all good men. o* - The "Harrison and Granger" party of Lycoming county have nominated EBE- Gnocriotion for Congress, and AnusTnoNci for Assembly; JOHN ANDREW SHULZE and WASHINGTON DUNN delegates to amend the Constitution. In this county, we did expect to see at least ono small germ of Anti-Masonry pre served, that it might, after the present deso lating frost should have passed away and a thaw opened the eyes of Anti-Masons, ye getato and bloom into its former purity! But even in this we have been mistaken! Even in this county, which ,contains at least one of the Pioneers of Anti-Masonry—one who, when the knees oldie timid knocked togeth er through fear, hesitated not to buckle on The Surplus Revenue. the armour and brave the Lodge to open combat—Anti-Masonry has been merged even hero into Harrison-and Grangerism! Not one word in all their proceedings, or references under the editorial head_of the Free Press, can we find which can bo twisted into Anti• Masonry! Well may we begin to despair of our principles, when such desertions take place! (j Since the Antt•Masons have been swallowed up in Lycoming,the Lodge have nominated a full-grown ticket—viz: For Congress, Gen. R. H. HAMMOND; Dr. JAMES TAYLER, for Assembly; and ROBERT FLEM ING and Jour A. GAMBLE delegates toamend the Corlstitution—all Royal Arch Masons, except ono!!! Consistency! Kr-The Van Buren party in Dauphin and Lebanon have nominated Dr. LUTHER REILY, for Congress. This is the same Mr. Roily who, in 1832, presided at a meet mg which denounced Gen. Jackson and Martin Van Buren after the following man ner:— "Resolved, That wo consider ILTTT!IE DE. FEAT OF ANDREW JACKSON as necessary to tho preservation of our happy institutions." "Resolved, That wo heartily approve of the course of tho.U. S. Senate, in REJECTING THE NOMINATION OF MARTIN VA.V BUREN, believing that ho DISGRACED TUE NAME OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, by asking, no a boon from the British Government, what had been, by all former ad•ninistratione, demanded us a right." pQ'Tho Van Buren party of York have nominated their ticket, and such a ticket, "Oh, ye little gods and fishes!" A part of their Assembly is of the real Johnson-amal• gatnation breed of the yellow cast! - and. re port says, their intended Commissioner writes his name nut a mark! .11.11.01asons, look here! Aziti•Muson can, under any con sideration,voto the Van Buren ticket. The Elector for this county is' a high illdson, a recusant Witness, and, if elected, will cast his vote for Richard ill. Johnson, a Mason of a high grade, and an outlaw upon the morals of society, along with Martin Van Buren! Besides, FIFTEEN of the Electors on the Van Buren ticket are high, bigotted, bitter Masons! What Anti-111ason is there that can vote for Van Buren through such instruments? For the Star and Banner Conferee Meeting. The Democratic Anti-Masonic Conferees for the Congressional District composed of the Counties of Franklin and Adams—to wit: Major SAMUEL FISHER and JAMES DAVISON, of Franklin; and JAMES A. THOMPSON, JOIIN DONALDSON and THADDEUS STEVENS, of A dams—met at the house of Mr. David New man on Thursday the Bth day of September, 1836, and organized by appointing Major SAMUEL FlSHER,Chairman,and Thad deus Stevens, Secretary. The following resolutions wore unanimous ly adopted—viz: Resolved, That Free-Masonry and all other Secret Societies, bound together by secret oaths, are inconsistent with Republi can liberty, and dangerous to our free insti tutions. Resolved, That we will support no man for office who is not an avowed Political Anti-Mason. Resolved, That it be recommended to the Democratic Anti-Masons of this Congres sional District, to form no coalitions or amal gamations with those who despise our prin ciples; but to maintain their distinctive prin ciples and organization, in defiance of every danger and in spite of every seduction. Resolved, That the conduct of the Ma sonic Witnesses, who were summoned be fore the last Legislature and refused to give evidence, deserves the most severe censure from all the friends of law and good order. Resolved, That we will persevere in our opposition to all Secret Oath-bound Socie ties, and will never swerve from that course to unite with any other party, however plait siblo or urgent the object may seem, until such societies shall be effectually suppressed by Legislative enactment. Resolved, That to honest Anti-Masons success is desirable only because it promotes the welfare of their country; and defeat is less alarming than desertion of principle. Resolved, That James 111 , Sherey, of Adams county,be nominated as the Demo cratic Anti-Masonic Candidate for Congress for this District. Resolved, That all the papers in this Congressional District friendly to the Supre• macy of the Laws, be requested to publish these proceedings. SAMUEL FISHER, Chairman. TuADDEus STEVENS, Sec'ry. FOR THE OVETVEDURGII STAR AND BANNER Sinister Motives ascribed to anti—Masonry. How far this charge inclines towards truth, is to be considered. I do not purpose to enter into an elaborate history of Masonry or Anti. Masonry but merely glance at the subject generally—the purpose being only to show how false the allege, lion that the motives aro sinister. The rise and progress of Masonry in the Urn. tad States became very great, and perhaps would have continued so, had not the eyes of some few mon become opened to the dangerous tendency of Masonry In this country, and who, feeling the groat burdor. upon their consciences, wore deter mined, through the power of God, to throw it off. The first to throw it ofi,and to show .tho world the detestable mummery of a Lodge, was the ill-fated MoRGAN; and no sooner was this victim sacrificed than the whole country became indignant, and therefore many othors,foeliag that they would ro. ceive tho protection of their fellow countrymen, throw off the shackles that bound their consciences also. Hence a party arose and received the name of Anti. Masons--composed of all such as forsook the secret dons of perdition, and such others as had the good of country at heart. This little band, which took root in the State of Now York, has grown to inimenso size, and its promoters may now bo found in all parts of our happy Union; and the question, what is their üb. jou4 may bo easily answered: It is to freo the hu man mind from tho worst of slavery—to unfettor the prisoners; to give light to the captive; to show that no man has a right to bind his follow with a secret oath, too horrible, too sacrilegious to men lion; nor taking upon themselves a power which belongs only to God by prostituting the Ilely Word of God to uses never intended to compel a Truman being, In a state of partial nudity, to swear by the Sacred Volume that he will not do or say certain things,& that should ho break this oath,ho shall undergo the pains of death! Was it ordain ed for such purposes that that Book should be so used which declares, that the Saviour of men came into the world to enlighten the human mind, and which expressly declares that man shall not do in secret that which may not bo proclaimed on the house top? The election of our present worthy Chief Ma gistrate, is a glorious evidence of the growth of Anti Masonry in the State of Pennsylvania; and it is to be hoped that the day is not far distant, when such a thing as Masonry will not be found within the borders of our common country. It is to be hoped, also, that every man will raise his voice sgainst the deeds of darkness which aro daily enacted at the various lodges throughout this country. Expose the folly of such as aro engaged in such pursuits; and ask the deluded votaries of Masonry, what object they have in view? Lot thorn examine their hearts, and they will be candid enough to admit that their childish nonsense is at variance with every noble sentiment of religion and mo rality. The finery of a Lodge is proper nonsonce thr a child and not for men! The Temple of Solo. min, with all its grandeur, would ho a mote place for children to play in! The dross of its disciples would be a suitable ono for the would be-heroes of Texas. (I moan the children soldiers ofour city!) Throw away your childish nonsense; release your consciences from their more than heathen dark• ness; swear allegiance to tho Alinighty,and thank ' llim that ho has spared you for the prophanation of his holy precepts and examples! Christians, it is your duty to preserve your temples froni defile ment. You should make it a law, that whosoever would join the Temple of the Living God, should forsake Masonry, the work of the Devil, bolero lie should be considered a fit subject for a religious Society. Masonry, in all countries, has boon the fore runner of evil. Our Courts of Justice have boon vitiated and contaminated by it. Tho Jury box, the only protection of man when demanding right, has felt its baneful influence. Masonic witnesses have, in Courts of Justice, perjured, grossly per. jurod themselves to bend to the uses and purposes of his follow Mason! The widow and orphan have felt the want of the charity of the Lodge, upon which they pride themselves. The banqueting halls, and ,the midnight orgies of these wonderful secret working good men, have destroyed the peace and happiness of many families, prostrated the brightest hopes,levelled the dearest ornaments of every household! Strange, too, that each Lodge should be conducted by men of talent and other wise excellent members of society! Infatuated be. ings! how can they look tamely on the evils they cause and still persist? Our elective franchise has been invaded by this curse and bano of the human family; and charity,cold charity, has been refused to any but such as might be Masons and were enabled to exhibit the accursed sign! Pi ison bars have yielded to its influence, and the direct felons been lot loose upon Society. therefore, Anti.Mosonry can subservo the public good and correct so groat evils, how can its motive be sinister? Again—lt is allodgod that Masonry is necessa ry to preserve the bond of Union,to make the link which bind us stronger; to cement and render in dissoluble the general compact. How preposter ous such an argument! A Republican Govern ment require Masonry to cement it! A free people require secret oaths to preserve it! No—a repub- lican government requires the assent of the whole. Without it, it is as nothing. The people must openly and voluntarily be sworn on the Altar of Liberty to preserve it. No people are free rho are bound in conscience or otherwise—by oaths or by chains. Freedom, glorious freedom—such as we, an American people, should enjoy, must be unlimited in its nature—free as the air we breathe. Masons claim a WASHINGTON and others as dis ciples—of which I shall not treat at large, but merely observe, that distinctions are conferred on groat and good men without much consultation; but I would to God, that all men, be they Masons or not, wore such as the Father of our Country! To preserve a Republic, there must bo no se. crot machinations, no difference in the sentiments of the people. It must be ono common cause; a house divided againct itself must fall. So with the people. Freemen should be as brethren,bound together by the cords of love. Freemen have but one God to honor—one Altar to preserve. They are not bound by secret and horrid oaths to pre serve that which gratitude to God, love of their families, and love of country would induce them to preserve. But Masonry, being in itself secret, is calcula led to do evil. How do we know but that there may bo many such aspirants as AnoN BURR, who may in course of time desire to be placed at tho head of affairs, and for that purpose bo laying the ground-work to achieve - their purpose? Such things have taken place: holding secret corres pondence with distant Lodges; making converts wherever and whenever they can; and if sufficient strength could be gained, would rise and crush all our prospects, and forge chains to bind us!— God forbid we should so harshly judge our follow. men; but that such an inference may bo drawn, is but too apparent. Therefore, if the object of Anti-Masonry be to preserve the Union, its motive cannot be conside red as sinister. It is said, that the object of the Anti-Masons is a political ono, and got up for party purposes, and not to eradicate an evil—to subserve the interests of a few designing mon, and not to prormite the interests of the whole country! Such doctrine is contrary to truth. It is not the work of a few, but of many—not the interest of one, but ot all. And as to the benefit desired by Anti-Masons from their darling object, look at Philadelphia—when the election of the Hon. J. M. Scott took place they had but about 22.5 Anti-Masonic votes, yet they spent their time and their money in the pub. lic cause without fear. Philadelphia is the hot bed of Masonry, although some few happy char ges have taken place,and may God grant that ore long it will be °indicated even in this City and Comity! Strange, that Philadelphians boast of their en lightened City, freedom ot its institutions, and suffer such a serpent to every thing good to exist among thorn! We did hope that the light of Rea son had reached them, and that they would join hand and heart to deprive this Monster of his fangs ; but, alas! wo hear of no Anti Masonic meetings, no endeavors to do good! Those Anti- Masons who did exert themselves, are now slum boring in the devoted city, at . a time, too, when all their strmgth should be exerted! Why this apathy—this lukowarniness in so good, so noble a cause? Why not rise up and act in conjunctim with your fellow laborers throughout the whole country? Aro you intimidated? Have you been threatened by your enemy? Are you dishearten ed at the inequality of numbers? If so, you should strive the more—it requires time and pa tience to effect your purpose. This is the time to test yourselves. Now, when the election an Pre sident is to take place. Harrison has been selec ted, and there is but little doubt but what ho may act wisely if elected. But Anti-Masons should be cautious how they promote the election of a deep, cunning and designing knave to office. Rather than vote in the dark,they should remain neutral. The time is approaching when no fear need bo entertained—when men shall be much of ono mind, and have but one object in view: I mean, THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. Follow. Countrymen! We have raised the Anti- Masonic standard,, and call upon all men to rally around it. To the poor conscionce-hurthened Ma son wo offer protection. Come out,and make your selves FREE! Join us in the endeavor to free the human mind from slavery. As brethren, assist us to preserve our happy Union—strengthen it with the band of brotherly love. Fear not tho ma chinations of tho Lodge ; their superstructure is fast crumbling into ruin, and, ere long, such a name as that of Mason, will not be found in all Our happy country! Philadelphia City. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE NEW MUSKET WITHOUT TOUCH-HOLE OR RAMROD.—By accounts from Berlin it ap. pears that an armorer, named Drase, had presented to the Military Commission a Musket of his own invention, which, after repeated trials, has met with unanimous It is constructed without touchhole or ramrod. It is thought that all the Prus sian infantry will shortly be furnished with similar muskets. TODACCO ns. FLOUR.—The receipts o flour at Baltimore, the largest flour market in the U. States except N. York, were last week 1,997. The receipts of tobacco for the same time were 1020hhds. or 4,ooobbls. If the people are to be starved for want of bread to eat, they may still have the corn• fort of chewing.—Jour. of Coin. An officer of the Army in Florida, thus writes to the Editor of the Norfolk [Jerald, under date of Auglist 22. "Such have been the ravages of the climate on our northern constitutions, that :300 would measure the array of the United States at this theatre of war! Es not the population of the United States at this time about 15,000,000? Is not ours a wealthy country? Are you a good arithmetician? If so, please to tell me what chance 300 or 400 men, exhausted by a year's residence and more in this climate, and broken down in opiritsfrom utter neglect and indifference, have to conquer, in a sum mer campaign, an enemy, now increased in number and animated by success, in their own climate and country, who could not be conquered by 5000 in the most favorable season of the year? Or, to ask a better question, is not this state of things shame ful to the nation, and cruel to our poor little abuscd but gallant army?" ANTHRACITE COAL.—By a Statement in the Philadelphia Price Current of late date, it appears that the supply of anthracite coal which has reached that market, from the Schuylkill and Lehigh coal region, has been greatly increasing from year to year,though not Castor than the demand for the article. The first ton of coal was brought to that market in 1820. The whole quantity re ceived that year was less than 400 tons.— In 18:30, being ten years after, the yearly supply had reached 200,000 tons. In 1833, the quantity received was 560,000 tons, of which 135,000 tons remained unsold at' the close of the year. In 1834, there was a slight falling off in the receipts,the quantity brought to market being 514,000 tons; of these 120,000 tons remained over, unsold. In 1835 the quantity in market was 680,750 tons, which was all sold. This year it is expected that the quantity brought to the Philadelphia market, from these mines will reach 800,000 tons,if not more; and there is therefore no just cause for the apprehension, some time since indulged or suggested in some quarters, of a short supply of this im portant article of fuel. It is rumored that the President has ap pointed tho lion. J. It. POINSETT, of South Carolina, the commissioner to examine into and report on the political condition of 'rex as,preliminary to the sending of a diplomatic agent to that country. It is stated in the Army and Navy Chron icle that the late Col. HEILF.MAN insured his life to the amount of six thousand dollars in the Life Insurance Office in Baltimore. By the judicious appropriation of a small an nual ruin, this gallant officer has thus been enabled to make provision - to the amount stated, for his otherwise dependent widow and six children. THE CORN TRADE.—We find the follow ing paragraph on this subject in the Journal of Commerce. It presents a strange pic ture of the agricultural prosperity of our country: THE Come TRADE.—Bread.stuffs have hitherto constituted one of our principal ar ticles of export, amounting in 1831 to with. in a small fraction of $12,000,000. In / 8:35, (we speak, in both cases, of the com• mercial year, ending 30th September,) the quantity was reduced one half, and the val ue in about the same proportion. In 1831, the value of bread-stuffs imported was only $1032, whereas in 1835 it had increased to $311,116. The year ending 30th of the present month will show still smaller exports of these articles, and larger imports. And the ensuing year, from present appearances, will very possibly show an amount of im ports equal to the exports. Should the corn crop be cut off in the Northermost States, as it is now very liable to be, by the early appearance of frost, the extraordinary phe nomenon will probably occur,of the greatest grain-growing-country in the world becom ing dependent upon foreign countries for a portion of its bread! The Philadelphia Gazette states that the Hon. HENtair CLAY lately had a marvellous escape from death. He was riding on horse back in one of his fields,surveying his cattle, when a furious bull, maddened from some cause or other, rushed towards him, and plunging his horn with tremendous force in to the horse on which Mr. Clay was seated, killed the poor animal on the spot. The distinguished rider was thrown to the dis tance of several feet from his horse, and though somewhat hurt by the fall, escaped withou, material injury. His deliverance was truly miraculous. A robbery, which for daring and boldness, has but seldom been surpassed by the accom plished rogues of any place, was committed at our wharf on Friday night last. - The circumstances are these: A Mr. WOOD ar rived here about 8 o'clock, P. M., in the mail boat from Cincinnati,nnd after waiting upon a lady to the Hotel, he returned to the river, to see to his baggage. He had it all taken up, as he supposed, to the tavern, but id a short time, missing some articles, lie returned to the wharf, in hopes of finding them. By this time the 'crowd usually there,had dispersed. On his way back,and before he reached the top of the bank, he FRIEMD.

GAG • LA W-LIBEIITV OF TIM PRESS.---It is evident that there are great exertions making to gag the press, and these have been greatly increased since the vote of Mr. Van Buren, authorizing the irresponsible agents of the Post Office to seize and des troy papers and effects, without accounta bility or appeal. This Post Office esponiage, judicature and seizure of papers, for which Mr. Van Buren voted, is incomparably more hostile to Freedom than tho Gag• Law of the reign of terror. Had it passed it would have proved the death knell of Liberty! It would have disgraced the worst times of the bloody revolution in France. And yet it was voted for with the utmost promptitude by Mr. Van Buren! From the course of this man wo have no doubt but he is leagued with the-nemics of Liberty and equal rights, to put down the Liberty of the Press, and establish a censor ship over it, to be exercised by his minions ihroTrhent the Union, should he be elevated to the Presidency. Let the friends of Free dein look at this.—Peiia. Tel. Tom TuE BARBER'S PARRQT.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE From the Now York Express of Monday 7 DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. The London packet ship Gladiator, Capt. Briton, arrived at quarantine last night about 11 o'clock. Our news boat brought us files of London papers up to August Ist, and Paris and Liverpool of Saturday 30th July, and news from Madrid up to the 22d July. The Irish Church Bill is still the subject under discussion in all the London papers. SLAVERY IN INDIA.—Tho House of Lords on Saturday, 30th July, had under discus sion the subject of Slavery in India. Mr. F. Buxton inquired what, steps had been taken relative to the abolition of slave ry in India, and was informed by Sir J. C. Ilobliouse that the Subject was left entirely in the hands oftho local authorities in India, who could apply the operation of the clause in the Act with better effect than those at a distance. DeATII OF MR. ROTHSCITILD.—The Lon don 'rimes of Monday, Ist August, says— We were informed last night that an express was received in town, from Frankfort, con veying an account of the death of the emi nent capitalist, Mr. Rothschild. From Spain we have papers up to 22d July. We learn that two thousand men have been marched by the Queen's orders from Madrid against the Carlist column which has penetrated in the neighborhood of Soria. Gen. Bernuy is in pursuit, and a regiment of the guard has been ordered to A randa to guard against any attack in that direction. The Governor of Tortosa has written to the Government, stating that Carbera had raised the siege of Gandia, after having lost 65 men killed and 156 wounded, several chiefs being of the number.

Bernelle, with, the French Legion, had an affair on the 19th inst. near Estella with eight battalions of the Carlists, in which, if not triumphantly victorious, ho had at least maintained his positions, and forced the enemy, to retire; that, fully expecting the arrival, of Cordova on tho next morning, and that arrival not having taken place, he, in the fulness of his. rage and disappointment, set fire to the fielda. of ripe corn and other products of the harvest and spread devastation about for several n - .iles of the surrounding country. The re-. port goes on to say that the next day he was, attacked by the Carlist force, but the result of the 2nd day's engagement the report saith not. There are other versions.of the. battle.

Kr It will be perceived that our ticket is now full, JANES M'SHERRY, Esq. having been nominated for Congress. A better ticket could not be presented to the people, and it will be elected by the usual triumphant majority. The Chambersburgh Masonic Repository. KrThis paper exults at the "rebuke" which the Editor says ho gave us for calling the Anti Van Buren ticket of Franklin a "spotted," "pie.bald" concern! It is true,wo did say, that the ticket presented to the sup port of Anti-Masons was a "pie-bald" one; and that we did call upon Anti-Masons to withhold their votes therefrom, until they had sufficient evidence that they would gain any thing in behalf of their principles by supporting it entire. And we here repeat, and trust, that the Anti-Masons will no: vote for Mr. Denny until they have honora ble assurance that he will, if elected, sup port the principles of Anti. Masonry in the Legislature, by voting for the suppression of all Secret Societies—supporting the par ty on all important occasions, and the pres ent State administration as far as conducive to the best interests of the People and of the, Commonwealth. If Mr. Denny promi ses these things, we will rejoice in his elec tion; if he does not, we certainly will not cry at his defeat, however much we may be "re buked" by our amiable "brother" of the Re- pository. One word to the correspondent of the Re pository, "Philo-Franklin:" 'Squire, you are known—and if we should be compelled to strip off your mask, you must blame your own imprudence. We shall at all times,and on all occasions, perform our duty fearless ly. If the Repository-man suffers you to • appear in his Editorial columns to abuse and villify better men,he is responsible. If, however, owing to the peculiar situation in which you are now placed, your restive spirit will not permit you to keep within bounds, we shall not hesitate to expose you. Masonic State Treasurer! o — Has the State Treasurer yet dischar ged that recusant Masonic witness who acts as his Chief Clerk? In Mr. Fenn's apology for his Masonic conduct, he stated that he understood that Mr. Neilson had sent a letter to the Com mittee, expresging his willingness to appear and testify. We have made the proper in quiry, and state, on good authority, that no such letter was ever sent. Mr. Neilson stood in contempt ; and is . now Chief Clerk in the Anti• Masonic (I) State Treasurer's Office! KrAmong the Masonic Clerks retained in the Public Offices at Harrisburgh is CHARLES MOWRY, who, in 1832, when the Anti-Masonic friends of Gov. Ritner were in a minority, presided at a meeting which spurned Anti-Masonry in the following base and insulting manner: "We protest against the impression being made abroad, that tho National Republicans have made common causo with Anli•Mnsonry, the leaders of which make the destruction of the Masonic insti tution the chief object oftitetr political movements. "They aro contending for proscription worso, if possible, than Jacksonism." This same follow is a "good enough Anti- Mason" now, idler Anti-Masonry has be come successful! A "strange bed-fellow," Mr. Fenn? Will our friend inform us who Mr. Mow. ry supports for President? Oz:rWe had hoped better things of the New Berlin Star than to see it endorsing the Masonic slander of the pirate Democrat at flarrisburghl 4111egheny County. OtrWe rejoice to see such men as DEN NY, MAGEE, IRWIN end others selected as Delegates to the Convention to amend the Constitution. It shows that Anti-Masonry is sound in that county, in spite of all the efforts of the amalgamationists. , o:7'What has become of tho Anti• Mason• ry of Juniata county? Judging from the Jour• nal, it is absorbed in conciliating- Whig- Masonry! We perceive that Mr. MATHER is a can didate for re-election. He is a clever man, but lacks Anti-Masonry. How will good old orthodox Union swallow him? We hope however to see him elected. He is much better than the Van Buren Jacobin who oppose him. The Journals and Laws. o::7The Masonic paperb are making a great cry about the delay in the delivery of the Journals and Laws, and are desirous of attributing that delay to the Anti-Masonic party. That this cry is only made for 'ef fect, and not in honesty, let the following facts shew: The Pamphlet Laws and Journals of the House, this year, were printed by the Anti- Masonic Editor of the Telegraph, and were delivered by the Binder at the Secretary's Office on the Bth of August last, and for warded as opportunities offered to the differ ent counties of the State. The Journals o the Senate are printed by the Masonic Edi tors of the Reporter, and were not ready for delivery on the 3d of the present month!— This is well-known to the Masonic Editors, and yet they have the consummate impu dence to complain at the delay of the Jour nals of the House! Last year the volume of the Laws con tained about 500 pages, were printed by the Masonic Editors of the Reporter, and wore not delivered until the last ofJune—upwards of two months after the adjournment of the Legisla tut e! The Laws of the last Legislature made a volume of upwards of 900 pages, were prin ted by the Anti• Masonic Editor' of the Tele- graph, and were delivered sixteen days sooner than those of only 500 pages by the Masonic printers the year before! These are the facts. Wo act impartially. We condemn the Reporter's Masonry, and grieve for the merged principles of the Tele graph. Let the people judge.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1,1836. DEAR Sin:-1 feel pleased that the Press remains free and untrammelled in some parts of our country, and that Editors may be found who can and will fearlessly main tain the rights of the people; but that such is not the case in Philadelphia County, is but too apparent. The press, unfortunately for the rights of the people, is under the controul of designing men, who act as censors. It therefore happens, that if an individual would, through the medium of the press,ex pose the truth, and that truth should touch the party, or the patronage of the paper, it is immediately excluded, some excuse offer ed, and the manuscript returned or destroy ed! It is well that it be confined to Phila delphia County. How goes it with the contemplated Anti- Masonic paper that was to have been estab lished at Philadelphia? Perhaps I can be informed. It is much wanted; the cause will suffer here without it. Thousands are waiting to see and hear the subject discussed, so that thereby they may be enabled to judge and adept it. The paper, it is true, must be sustained by the party throughout the State; and the day is not far distant when it will take root and find worthy supporters in Philadelphia—for truth is great and will prevail. A paper whose columns will be opened to free discussion without regard to party, and applied to the reason and under standing of men, would do much good. 1 trust, however, that you will sustain the fair character of your party, and never lose sight of the great subject of your adop tion; nor sacrifice your principles from fear, favor or affection, (however of that we have a sufficient guarantee.) We cannot boast of an Anti-Masonic paper acting as a co worker with us in the county of Philadel phia. The one styled as Fitch is lukewarm; it endeavors to support a two-fold character —the one or the other to drop at pleasure, and the old rule, that whosoever is not en tirely with us and for us, must be against us, may be well applied to it. "A word to the wise is sufficient." I trust that you will arouse the party in Philadelphia Coun ty. It is high time that they should be up and doing.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the democratic Anti Masonic citizens of Bed ford county, was held in the borough of Bed ford on the 22d ult. The meeting and its proceedings evince the patriotic and ener• getic spirit which animates our Bedford friends, which cannot fail to achieve for them a splendid victory at the polls. Among the resolutions is one declaring their deter mination t o "continue to oppose all secret combinations of men bound together b 3 blasphemous oaths," and another condemns the conduct of the Masonic 'witnesses who refused to testify before the Legislature "on the ground that their obligations to the lodge wero paramount to every other, and that the institution, because it existed before the adoption of the constitution, was above the constitution, the laws, and the legislature." We copy the following resolution relating to a distinguished advocate of our cause It must be particularly gratifying to the "pirate" editor at Harrisburgh, that such a resolution should be unanimously passed by an assemblage of freemen. ' Resolved, That this meeting take great pleasure in acknowledging the distinguished services orfhaddeus Stevens, Esq. of Adamss• county, during the session of the last Legis. lature of this state, in behalf of equal rights and the supremacy of the idws.

THE V AN•JACR PROCESSION.— W hile the Jackson procession was parading the streets last night in honor of their supposed triumph, the accounts of their defeat came pouring in,one alter another,to the inexpres• siblo chagrin of the leaders,who,one by one, were seen scampering off as they got the news. The rank and file were kept ignorant of the defeat till the show was over." The poor fellow in the procession who persona ted "Death upon the pale Horse," as boon as he heard of the defeat, is reported to have put spurs to his beast,turned a short corner, and run as though the d—l was at his heels. The whole parade was nothing but troth and foam, showing low ridiculous poor human nature can be made to appear, when under the dictation of artful, crafty demagogues. [Balt. Pat. THE Mon Srinrr.—The attention of the press we are glad to see, has been turned to the mob spirit which has lately in so many instances disgraced the country. It would be lamentable to think that the influence of the public press cannot be brought success fully to bear in checking the tendency to disorder and outrage so manifest in various sections of the Union. We believe that it can, and that a perfect cure might be found for the evil in an uncompromising stand on the part of the press against all violations of the law, and all outrages against the peace of society and the rights of persons and property.—Alex.
