Kr'llis individual died at Staten Island, on Tuesday last,aged 81 years. • His private papers and correspondence are in the hands of MATTHEW L. Davis, who will publish them, together with a sketch of the Life of Cot. Burr, in a short time. It will be seen by the official proceedings which follow, that the Conferees have nomi• nated JAMES - M'SHERRY, Esq., of Adams county, as a candidate for Congress. Tho selection, so far as wo have heard the sentiments of our friends in this county, is . considered a good one. Mr. M'Sherry stands deservedly high in the estimation of his acquaintances as a gentleman of pleasing manners, unquestioned honesty, and possess ed of a liberal share of intelligence and in formation. His experience, moreover, in public life, is such as qualifies him amply for an efficient discharge of public trust, while his business habits, and universally acknowledged integrity of purpose, afford an ample guaranty of his active attention to the wants and interests of his constituents. [Chambersburgh Whig JAMES MCSIIERRY,EBII. of Adams county, has been nominated as the democratic Anti- Masonic candidate for Congress,to represent the district composed of the counties of Ad ams and Franklin. The choice could not have fallen upon a better man. We question whether, in the whole State,there be an indi vidual more deserving of public confidence than James McSherry. In the House of Representatives of this State, of which ho was long a member, Mr. Malierry was al ways regarded as an upright, honest and in dependent legislator; and his absence from that body will be deeply felt by those who roward otratglit onward honesty and incor ruptible integrity as nocesaary qualifications in a public servant.—Lancaster Exam. -.... i i* 0 !M...-... JACOBINISSI. The Hon. George M. Dallas has lately written a letter on the subject of charters, which has been published, to a committee appointed to pump him on that point. It will astonish all right-minded men to learn that Mr. Dallas goes the whole length in favour of the power of the convention which will assemble to revise the constitution, to repeal any and every charter it may think proper to lay its hands on. He acknowl edges the power of the legislature to grant charters—he concedes that the United States' Bank of Pennsylvania was lawfully incorporated, and that the legislature cannot repeal it; but he contends that the Conven tion will have this right and power. In plain English, his doctrine is that the people can violate, through their delegates in one body, their faith plighted by their constitu tional representatives in another body--a pledge which this legal luminary acknowl edges them to have been qualified to make. is not this the very ultimo. ante of non sense? Mr. Dallas proposes, after the Convention shall have annulled the bank charter, that Pennsylvania's share of the surplus revenue shall be taken to repay the bonus. This scheme we predict will find no favour with the people of Pennsylvania. They will put no very high estimate on a project which goes to take four and a half millions of dol- Jars out of their treasury, which might be appropriated to paying off their immense debt, merely to deprive a bank of its charter, which iv more restricted in its powers than any similar institution in the state,and which has furnished the means of repealing the state tax and of completing to a productive point those improvements which have been hitherto so great a drain on their treasury and so heavy a burden on their resources. They will let the bank enjoy its chartered rights—they will preserve their own public faith from violation—apply their share of the surplus revenue to pay offthe state debt, and use the sound currency which the bank provides for their accommodation.—York Republican. The School Law. So much has been said by the Masonic Journals on the subject of the school- law, and so much falsehood too, that. we have thought It advisable to refer to the official proceedings of the Legislature to disabuse the public mind, and to show what is really the fact, that to the Masonic and tax loving party, the people are, indebted for all the tax they have to pay to sunport public schools; but more particularly for what they term the odious poll tax, which has' been totemd upon them and then falsely charged 'Upon the Anti-Masons, like the stale, though cunning art of crying "thief" by the real culprit. .The school bill of last winter originated intheSepate. It came up on second read tag on the 25th February—Journal of the Senate page 390. The first, second, third and fourth sections passed; the three first without and the fourth with an amendment. The following is an extract from the Jour nal. "The fifth section being under considera tion, a motion was made by Mr. LEET and Mr. FORE, [both rank Van Buren men] to amend the section, by inserting between the sth and 6th lines a new division as follows: ''First. On each taxable inhabitant of the district, a POLL TAX of fifty cents!" Page 391. The amendment was agreed to." On the same day,, "A motion was made by Mr. LEET and Mr. M'CULLOCH, (both Van Buren men) to amend the amendment, by striking out the words "fifty cents" and inserting in lieu t hereof the words "ONE DOLLAR," which motion was rejected by a vote of 21 to 9!!! —Journal, page 397. After these amendments the bill passed the Senate, and was sent to the House. In that body the bill was amended to allow a majority of the voters in each school district, to lay a tax of fifty cents, if they see proper, *limb was-agreed to in the Senate, Juno 4, 1430. Here, then, is this outrageous tyranny, which has been falsely charged upon the Anti.Musonttyclearly traced to the Masonic party. They are the authors of it, and must bear its odium; and instead of blame, groat credit is due to the Ahti-Masons fpr their perseverance, to ameliorate the harsh fea tures of the bill, and leave the tax to the discretion of the . people. We are sure - in this liberal government that injustice cannot prosper. The people will not tolerate it. They will search for truth, and having found it, will be governed by it, and will not be drawn aside by those false lights,and false appeals which are rais ed by demagogues to deceive them. We have in this case but.exhibited the trutli,and we leave it to the reflection of a candid peo ple.--Penn. Telegraph.

PIULOTICAL SECESSION AND PERMISSIVE DISORGANIZATION. It is not often that we feel ourselves call. ed upon to notico the mad and revolutionary doctrines put forth by the Van . Buren organ of this city. We might, by so doing, fre quently attach to its ebullitions an impor tance which they do not intrinsically merit, and procure for tl3em a degree of notice which they could not of themselves obtain. We generally prefer to allow it to pursue undtsturbedly its own course—convinced that its paragraphs carry with them a suffi cient antidote for the mischief which they yeurs Respectful! might produce in-the style and character of the matter itself, and in the unenviable repu tation of the source from which they eina nate. They may sometimes, however, de rive an adventitious claim to notice from being supposed to represent the sentiments of the more respectable ofthe party,of which the paper professes to be the organ. Such a supposition, we are sure, cannot for one moment, be entertained, in regard . to the editorial of Saturday, under the caption of Election of Senate. A proposition ao mischievous, so ultra revolutionary and disorganizing in its ten dency, would be at once repudiated by every member of the party who had not lost all sense of decency and self-respect, and all attachment to pure republican principles. and could have emanated from' no other source than the prolific and visionary brain ofits reckless editor. A proposition to pre vent the election of a Senate—to stop en tirely the wheels of government—to dissolve the social compact—to degrade Maryland to the condition of a province and territory, dependant upon the National Executive for a Governor, and upon the Congress of the U. S. for a Constitution and Government!! Can these doctrines be promulgated by a party, who arrogate to themselves the ex clusive appellation of democratic republi cans? They would take away from the people the power to govern themselves-- arrest the operation of municipal regulations —abandon and subvert the rights of the States, and transfer all powers to a grand central despotism, to be controlled and ex ercise)ieby, \ one arbitrary Executive head? And this thy call "a consummation devout. ly to be wished by every republican and friend to equal laws and equal rights!!" Such monstrous doctrines need but. to be made known to the people, in the language in which they are announced, to meet with universal abhorrence and rejection. After calling upon the Van Buren Elec• tors not to' meet in the Electoral College to appoint the next Semite, the disorganiser launches forth in the following strain: '"lt may be asked-what the consequence of a failure to elect a Senate would be; and we will endeavor to answer the question in anticipation. The result would be a disso lution of the present government; but it would not produce a state of . anarchy, or any thing bordering upon it. On the contrary, every thing would move on as tranquilly and regularly us if no change had taken place. We should pass into the condition of one of the territories, and as Cong ress is bound by the Constitution of the United States, to guarantee to every State a repub lican form of government, it would become theii duty to provide by law for the calling of a convention to form a new Constitution, and this they would undoubtedly do without delay: In the meantime, a Governor would be appointed by the National Executive,and all the present subordinate officers - of the State would retain their present places, or perform the duties of their various stations, until a new Constitution were formed, and a Government established under it. So far, therefore, from its being productive of any evil, it would lead, as we conceive, to a con summation devoutly to be wished, by every republican and friend to equal laws and equal rights." fortunately there is virtue enough left yet even in the Jackson counties, to resist, and successfully put down, such revolutiona ry, incendiary doctrines as are here put forth. Such sentiments may be looked upon every where as but the mad ravings of the disappointed Jacksonism of the day. But, in the language of seriousness, let us ask the People of Maryland, whether they are pre. pared to go for such doctrines as are above promulgated by the organ of the Jackson party in Maryland? FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. The packet ship United States, Captain Holdrege,arrived at New York on Saturday morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 9th of August. The Editors of the New York Commercial Advertiser have re ceived by this arrival, several letters from European correspondents, and London pa pers to the Bth of August, and Liverpool to the 9th, both inclusive. , The United States has upwards of forty cabin passengers, among whom is the Rev. Dr. Hawks, of New York. ENGLAND.—The most important among the contents of these papers, is the report o the debate in the British House ofeommons, on the sth of August, on the subject of an interference by Great Britain between Tex. as and Mexico. The private fortune of Mr. N. M. Roth schild is stated to have been four millions sterling. His place in London was to be occupied by his brother Charles, who for merly resided at Naples, and more recently at Frankfort. The body of Mr. N. M. Rothschild arrived in London on the 4th of August. Parliament was expected to be prorogued on or about the 16th of August. The speak er gave his usual dinner to the clerks on the 6th, and this is usually done about ten days before the prorogation. The amendments of the Commons to the amendments made by the Peers in the tithe commutation bill, were agreed to in the House of Lords on the sth. The establish. ed church bill was read a third time and passed, on the same day. A duel was fought on the sth, between the Hon. Grantley Berkeley and Dr. Ma gian, editor of Frazer's Magazine. Mr. Berkeley has lately written a historical ro manco called Berkeley Castle, which was most cuttingly reviewed in Frazer; where upon Mr. Berkeley was blockhead enough, to assault the publisher,Trazer. Dr. Ma gian then avowed himself the writer of the review, and a meeting ensued, in which three shots were exchanged without effect. Mr. Frazer, Dr. Maginn's second,then with. drew his principal. RAIL ROAD InoN.—Bills have been ob. tained at tho present session of parliament for nearly 1100 miles of rail roads. These will-require in the construction of rails,car riages, &c. about 220,000 tons of iron. In addition to this, about 70,000 tons will be required for roads now in active preparation, so that nearly 300,000 tons will be requisite to meet the demands for the British rail roads alone during the ensuing four years, which will be consumed in their completion. SrAmr.—Advices from Madrid Were to the 3011 July, and from Bayonne to the 3d of August. Gen. Cordova had resigned the command of the Queen's forces, on account of ill health, it is said, and been succeeded by Gen. Saarsfiold. Gomez, one of the Carlist chiefs, had endeavored to possess himself of Oviedo, but had been repulsed by the inhabitants and retreated toward the mountains of Leon. The Carlist common der.:n-chief Villareal, is said to have been repulsed in an attack upon Zubire, and sub• sequently on the Ist of August, defeated by Gen. Bernelle losing 200 killed and 100 prisoners. Gen. Espartero was in hot pur. suit-of Gomez, whose forces are said to be much reduced by desertion. FRANCE.—Tho trial of forty five persons charged with having entered into a conspi. racy to overthrow the government,was pro ceeding before the Tribunal of Correction. The King's advocate, in the course of his speech, declared that no doubt could exist of an extensive plot having been organized. The illessager states that the question of an armed intervention in Spain has again been agitated in the cabinet, but that the opinion of Luis Philippe having prevailed over that of M. Theirs, who was in favor of the measure, the decision has been come to of forming two now legions, each of 5(100 men, in order to carry General Bernelle's corps to 15,000. Th,, Courier Francais observes that tho decision had been adopted some time back; that the auxiliary corps which the French government intends send ing,. to Spain will amount to 20,000 Men, who will be shortly prepared to cross the Pyrenees,and that the voluntary enlistments in the French regiments have been so abun dant that it has been found necessary to suspend them. There were rumors in Paris that a new conspiracy among the military had been discovered. The Augsburgh Gazette says, that one of Lucien Bonaparte's sons is confined in the castle of St. Angelo at Rome, on account of the fracas in which h'e was engaged, some time ago; that the proceedings for his trial are going on, and that he will probably be condemned to death; but it is not thought that his sentence will be carried into execu tion, as _the brother of the man whom he killed has petitioned the Pope to spare his life. IMPORTANT PROM SPAIN. The brig MONTEVIDEO, Capt. FARRAN, arrived at New York, on Saturday, in a short passage from Cadiz, having sailed on the 6th ultimo. The Courier and Enqui rer learns from Capt. Ferran, that on or about 28th July, a rising of the whole popu• lation of Cadiz took place, who loudly de. mended the proclamation of the Constitution of 1812, and being joined by a newly raised regiment of twelve hundred men strong,they went in-search of the Colonel in command ()fit, who bad secreted himself, but being discovered, and seeing the military had made common cause with the populace, he consented to comply with their demands, and with all the public functionaries, took the oaths requ►re►l or them. Ine popula tion of Port St. Marv's and Xerres were preparing to follow the example of that of Cadiz. The Queen's government, we are told, has become extremely unpopular, and to such a height has the dissatisfaction at her course of policy arisen, that no concession she can now make will restore her to the public confidence. Isturez, the new prime minister, is loudly denounced by the public voice. General Cordova is styled a traitor and it is said his object is to deliver the English auxiliaries under General Evans into the hands of Don Carlos. The move. ment above mentioned took place under cries of Death to the Ministers" and "Death to Cordova." • ~ In connecting the name or Don Cailos with the constitution of 1812, the people by no means act from attachment to him, but say they have no alternative. Indeed, we cannot perceive how those of Cadiz and Nlalaga and Saragossa—at which latter places we learned by the last accounts from England the Constitutions of 1812 had also been proclimed—can hope to carry out the principles of that constitution, under a chief who like Don Carlos has always professed principles diametrically opposed to it. This constitution, it will be recollected, was con sidered by the other governments of Europe so revolutionary in its character, as to pro duce not only anarchy in Spain, but in the surrounding nations, and they therefore looked on with the utmost complacency when it was put down by a French army under the Duke d'Angouleme, in an almost bloodless campaign, which ended ridiculous. ly enough, in giving him the title of Duke of Trocadero. LATER FROM SPAIN. By the arrival at Boston ofthe ship A riosto Capt. Bladder, from St. Übes, which port she left on the lOth ult. the Messrs. TopWs, of the Boston News-Room, have received a file:of the Lisbon English Journal to the 13th ultimo—which contains important in formation relative to the affairs of Spain. Disturbances still ,continue in Spain, and it seems now highly probable that tho ex isting government will be overthrown. The constitution of 1812 has been solemnly proclaimed at Cadiz, Seville and Bejadoz, as well as at Malaga. In Seville on the re ceipt of a despatch sent, to the authorities by the civil government of Cadiz,they called together the superior officers of the Nation. al Guard, and made them acquainted with what had occured at Cadiz,the proclamation of the Constitution of 1812. It was then agreed that all the corps in Seville should be drawn up, in order to ascertain the spirit they were animated with. The result was, that commissioners were appointed by them, which expresied the following wishes as those of their constituents, viz: Ist. That the Ministers be dismissed as well as General Cordova, and n Comman der in Chiefappointed,worthy the confidence of the nation. 2(1. That n Connituent Cortes he con vened, upon the principle laid down in the Constitution of 1812, and :3clly. That obedience be no longer paid to the existing Government. As far as related to the two first articles, the CiVil Governor had given way. And as to the third, the open rupture with the existing government, it was still under con sideration,. We gather from these papers that Madrid is in a state of revolution. The Revista, a Lisbon paper of Aug. 9th. says, that intel:i gence had been received that a revoluti•m had taken place which caused considerable bloodshed, the result of which was the dis missal of Isturiez, - and the appointment of Mendizabal as Prime Minister: the Queen promising to give to Spain a Constitution with two Chambers. This, however, is denied by the Lisbon Journal of the 13th, which says, "we regret to find that M. Men. dizabel is not in office, and on the contrary that the present ministry are continuing their career of tnischieland anarchy, and have now declared Madrid in a state of seige." One cause of the tumult in Madrid is said to have been the postponement of the meeting of the Cortes from the 14th to the lath of August. MADRID, Aug. s.—We are assured that the French Ambassador at this Court has declared, that if, in consequence if the in surrectionary movements which have al ready commenced,t he existing fundamental laws should be substituted for the Constitu lion of Iql2, all diplomatical relations will immediately be stopped with the Govern ment thus established, and passports deman ded. lsturiez, the President of the Spanish Ministry, is confined to his bed with a vio lent influmatory fever. The papers contain intelligence of the death of Lieut. General Evans, the C mauler of the English Division in the North of Spain. He died from a sickness under which he had been a long time lingering. Every thing was quiet in Portugal. FROM MEXICO. The New Orleans Bee of the 3d inst. mentions the receipt of a letter from the interior of Mexico, in which it is said that a project is on foot to unite the northern states of the Republic of Mexico with the Republic of Texas under one Independent Government. The letter is dated Zacatecas, July the 28th, 1.93fi, and states that the disaffection through the northern provinces of Mexico is great and still increasing, and speaks of the advantages of an . independent state like that of Texas. The states which appear to be in favor of an alliance with Texas,are Tamaulipas,San Luis, Zacatecas, a part of Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Durango Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Sonora, the territory of California, and New Mexico.— The principal object of all these states ap pears to be that of forming a new republic in connection with Texas. The division of Mexico is not a new de sign, and now under the many favorable circumstances, the empty treasury, the dis traction reigning through the country, the present situation of Texas and her inevitable independence,all tend to increase the proba bility of the project of an alliance between theyiitates uossible. The letter shows evidently that much good would be the result of the success of the design. It also con firms the information which we have given of the internal situation of Mexico. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. TANNINU.-It is stated in the Farmer and Gardener that a patent has.been taken out in England for tanning with blackberry bushes, instead of oak bark. It appears that but one prisoner perished in the jail at Halifax—they put fire to the doors of the jail, and after burning holes through them, made their escape. Two of them have been retaken. BRIDGE OVER THE OIIIO.—The corner stone of the bridge about to be erected over the Falls of the Ohio, near Louisville, was laid in form, on the 3d inst. Wilkins Time hill, Esq., delivered an appropriate address on the occasion, and upwards of five thou sand persons witnessed the ceremony. The Louisville advertiser states that the mate rials are in considerable forwardness for this great work. FATAL ACCIDENT.-A man named Mi chael Slight, a German by birth and recent ly a laborer on the Wrightsville and York Rail Road; was run over by the stage on Thursday night last on the Columbia Bridge, and killed.

The action lasted an hour—supposed Indian loss, between 30 and 40—that of the regulars, 1 killed and 16 wounded.—lbed. THE GERMAN LANGUAGE.-4 young American, travelling in Europe, writes to his father in Philadelphia, and says: "Please give my best respects to my old teacher, Mr. Schipper,and tell Intnothat if instead ofGreek lie had given me half as much German. I would nut exchange it for all the Greek. he has, or ever will have. By all means persuade my sisters to study the Gor.nan Language, if they intend ever to visit this charming region." This is precisely the opinion we have en tertained and advocated for several years If parents in Philkdelphia, and in the middle and lower end of this County, would give their children a knowledge of the German Language, in place of the French or Latin, we are sure they would ever have reason to bless them for it. Every one who travels in any portion of our State, can call his Ger= man into use, and indeed in some parts it is almost, we might Invite vernacular tongue. As ao accomplishment; as -well as with a view to its advantages in a business point of view, every parent who e_an ntThrd to do so, ought to give his children an opportunity of studying it. No one who has been so fortu. nate as to acquire the German, could be persuaded to part with it, for there nre daily opportunities presented of reading the news. papers, as well as balding conversation.-- Doylsrown Intelligenter. HORRID DEATti.—We have seldom, if ever, had n nw , painful task to perform than that :low before us. We urge it as a warning, a most awful warning, to the idle and intemperate. The f a te of the wretched subject of this notice is pregnant with ir st ruct ion, and could he speak from the grave there would issue from the portals of that charnel house of mortality, an admonition —a warning to beware of the intoxicating cup. A young man named EUGEINE SALM. NAC, was on last Tuesdaynight, inn porter house in Schuylkill Sixth, near Market or in Market street, drinking deeply, and soon became greatly inebriated. Ho called for more liquor, and li;s demand not being corn. plied with,he became noisy and troublesome, and was turned out of the house in which he haul got drunk, scarcely able to stand.— Tottering along towards his home, until ho came into Linden street between Market and Chesnut, and coming near n pile of un slacked lime, into which water had been thrown two or three hours previous, he !rumbled and fell into it. Unable to rescue himself, being, as we above stated, stupidly drunk, he lay there until discovered, which was about half past'? o'clock the next morn ing. He was of course immediately remov ed to his home, and mediral aid promptly sAmmoned. He appeared to have fallen on his side, and lain in that position without a Change—the side of his nice, and down the right thigh, were dreadfully burnt, as were his clothes; mortification ensued, and the miserable youth expired on Friday night.

(* -- The nomination of our respected fel low•eitizen, and true Democratic Anti-Ma son, James 111 , Sherry, for Congress, accompanied with the usual Anti-Masonic resolutions, setting forth the principles of our party, has caused ns much confitsion and turmoil in the Lodge, ns the death of poor Hiram Abiff without leaving any work laid out on the Tressel•boardl That ma lignant Organ of the Lodge, the Franklin Repository, edited by the rebel Harper, in troduces the proceedings of the Congres sional Conferees in the following manner:— From the Franklin Repository of Tuesday last. THE CLIMAX CAP'D! The following proreedings were sent to us, in print, from the Gettysburg!) Anti-Masonic Star office, on Saturday last From this circumstance and the rancor of the proceedings, it muy be in. ferred, that the Delegates from this county, gave Mr. Stevens (who has hitherto done all in his power against Gen. HARRISON) a carte blanche, to dictate, say and do what lie pleased in the premi. gag. The Whigs of Franklin, we oro confident, will never consent to submit to this dictation of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens. They will not suffer him to thurst down, their throats his intolerant and pro. scriptivo principles. The resolutions were not only uncalled for, but are 'impolitic—ohnozirms to the principles end footings of three fourths of the friends of Gen. Hailnition thrOughout the State—and in direct opposition to the course and policy agreed upon by the Whias and Anti Masons of this county.— The object of whom,in entering into a compromise was to concentrate the opposition upon Gen. Har rison; end without jeopardizing their County Ticket and present ascendancy, they cannot now sanction or Whit ato those proscriptive and ANTI. UNION resolutions. If Anti. Masons reit/support no man for office who is not an avowed political Anti-Mason, those who are not Anti. Masons. will not support any of the Arni.Magonic party,and dis traction, division and defeat must be the result. ED — After the foregoing was in typo, wo receiv. ad the following Communication and Notice: For the Franklin Repository Mr. EDITOR:-4 have just 'learned that the Cen tral Committee of the county was convened, on the receipt of the resolutions passed, by the con ferees, at the nomination of James M'Shorry for Congress, and that the resolutions were disap. proved of by the individual members of the com mittee, as well on account of the bitter proscrip tive spirit which they breathe, as their total irrel. ovancy to the great political interests now en. grossing the public mind. Believing, however, that any censure of the conforential proceedings, pronounced by their body, might justly be doom ed unojßcial and assuming—the committee, lanv infarmodynoncluded to refbr the matter tea most— ing of the citizens of the oeo.,ty, to be convened, at their instance, for the special object. How that meeting will act in reference to measures that disavow tho very principle. upon which Gen. Harrison has boon nominated, and misrepresent the cherished views of the Wtiigs of Franklin county, wo aro yet to learn. A WHIG. UJ'A meeting of the citizens of Franklin coon ty,friendly to the election of Gen. Wm. H. Harri son and Francis Granger. will be held at the Court-house, in the borough of Chamberaburg, on Tuesday evening the 20th of September met. at 7 o'clock. GEO. A. MADEIRA, JNO. WGEEHEN, C. NUNEMACHER, JNO. F. DENNY. ROBERT M. BARD, JAMES WRIGHT, WM. SEIBERT, JOSEPH PRITTS, JAMES COLHOUN, Membera of the Central Committee. Our readers will recollect, without our republishing them, the resolutions adopted by the Conferees. They were the same,in substance, as have been passed by every sound Anti-Masonic body in this State since 1829; and yet the Masonic Whigs of Frank lin tell us that they are "obnoxious. to the principles and feelings of three fourths of the friends of Gen. Harrison throughout the State—and in direct opposition to the course and policy agreed upon by the Whigs and Anti• Masons of this (Franklin) county;" and further, "that those measures disavow the very pmnciples upon which Gen. Harrison was nominated." Although we never doubted that the ob ject of the Whigs and some treacherous Anti-Masons in nominating Gen. Harrison in the manner in which they did, was to de stroy, by merging and silencing Anti-Ma sonry, yet we believe that this is the first time that it has been publicly avowed. But the feverish Conspirators, seeing that the Anti-Masons of this District, oven such of them as supported Gen. Harrison, are de termined to preserve the principles of their party, and relax nothing in their warfare against the Lodge, become maddened, and in their indiscreet phrenzy, proclaim their grand object in supporting Harrison—viz: THE DESTRUCTION OF ANTI-MASONRY! . . We owe them ourr - acknowledgements for this candid disclosure. The Anti• Masons of this County wore anxious to know, before the Presidential election,what the Harrison. moo really intended. The October elec tion will show that, and have no small influ. Ance on the November election. But wo tell .this Chambersburgh High Priest of Masonry, if the resolutions of the Conferees are . inconsistent with what he undersinndg to be the compact between the Whigs and Anti•Masone of Franklin and the rest of the State, that we, the Anti. Masons of Adams county, are no party to such agreement,and never will abide by it, or act in accordance with it. With us, the prostration of Ma: sonry is, and ever shall be, the paramount object to which nll other political considera tions shall be minor. Nay, further—we care not how soon the Whig Masons incor- porate themselves into the Van Buren ranks. It is their appropriate station. In thiscolmty, they have always voted the Jackson ticket since the dawn ofAnti•Masooky. Let them do so in Franklin, and the free Whigs will soon become Anti• Masons, as well as the free Democrats. We repeat it—we should he rejoiced to see Harp& and his followers openly arrayed against us. But those resolutions are a mere pretext to enable him to oppose Mr. McSherry, because he voted to compell Harper and his Masonic tribe to obey the Lem last win• ter. In 1832, when Mr. CHAMBERS was nominated, die following resolutions were passed by the Conferees: Rrsolved, That we deem Free-Masonry a great moral and political evil. Resolved, I'hat,after the most mature and can did deliberation, wo believe that the only way to effect its permanent destruction, is by a firm and unwavering appeal to the Elective franchise. Resolved, That wo will support no man for any office of trust or profit, who is not willing to co. operate with his follow citizens in the use of all fair and honorable means for its final extinction. Resolved, That wo will use onr best exertions to promote the election of - JOSEPH RITNER for Gcv emu. Resolved, That the nomination of Wm. WIRT and Amos ELI for President and Vico Presi dent, mortis our most cordial approba ion, and shall receive our most zealous support. Resolved, Tina we will give our sanction to no coalition, combination, or union, which is calcula ted or dosigned to withhold the Electoral votes of Pennsylvania from tho Anti-Masonic Candidates. _ . Resolved, That we deem the suppression of Ma sonry of vital importance; while we invite all our citizens, without distinction ofparty, to unite with us in this great object, yet we will purchase no temporary aid at the expense of our principles.• Resolved, That GEORGE CHAMBERS. Esq ho nominated and recommended as the Anti-Me sonic Candidate for Congress, for this District. These resolutions were just as strong, just as Anti-Masonic and "intolerant" as those now complained of. And yet Harper sup ported the nominee, because he lived in Franklin county and had not voted to punish him for his contempt of the Law! We say again, let the line be drawn in Franklin county between the Masonic Whigs and Anti-Masonic Whigs. Go on, put up your Masonic candidate, decorate him with the insignia of the Lodge; put on his Kingly Crown, his Commander's Sword, his Knightly Sash; clothe him in purple, or dye his garments still deeper in the blood of Morgan, and then call upon the people to vote for him! Out upon such fellowship! We have - been too long para- lined by your embrace. We would rather be defeated a thousand times, than purchase sdccess by the prostitution of our principles. But we have no fear. If we can shake off the Masonic incubus which is smothering us, we shall breathe freely and triumph nobly. WP are Pleased to c.r. by our brother Parrra. We trust now,that some of his long pent•up Anti-Masonry wil burst forth. Masonry, bitter, unblushing, persecuting .71asortry: 0::rIt is known to all the people of this State, that Philadelphia we. represented in the last Legislature by W. B. REED, Esq. a gentleman of distinguished talents, unsuspected integrity,and inflexible firmness of purpose. He was the leading member, the soul, of the City delegation. No mem ber of the House had more influence. He was the zealous defender of all the interests, of the city, as well as the State. His favor and influence with the country member's 'enabled him to effect many things deemed important to the welfare of Philadelphia, which, without him, must have failed.— His influence alone prevented the passage of one or more laws, which his constituents feared would have an injurious effect upon their interests: such as the West Philadel- phia Canal, et cetera. But Mr. Reed, in the faithful discharge of his legislative duties, voted for the bill to Suppress Secret Societies, and thereby in. curred the wrath, and brought upon himself the reckless vengeance of the Lodge! Not withstanding his eminent qualifications and usefulness, he has been left off from the tick et lately formed by the Whigs for the City, while Spackwan, J. B. Smith and other tools of Masonry, have been continued on it; and John M. Scott, a Royal Arch Ma son and recusant witness, is promoted to a nomination for Congress!! In short, Mr. Reed has been sacrificed, for opposing secret-oath•bound Societies— for his devotion to his country! The Anti- Masonic freemen throughout the State, owe it to themselves and to him, to express their opinions upon this subject, freely and plain. ly, on every proper occasion. We trust we shall never see our faithful friends deserted by the people, because they have been per secuted, and, for a time, overwhelmed by tho Lodge. If we do not greatly mistake the spirit of ,the people, Mr. Reed's crown ofmartyrdom will become a crown ofhonor. Charles Naylor. KT - The Whigs of the 3d Congressional District, in the County of Philadelphia,havo nominated OrAnLus NAYLOR for Congress. This is the same man who made such a bit ler speech against Anti-Masonry in - . the Whig-upstairs-Convention that nominated Gem Harrison! Is there not Anti-Masons enough in that sound Republican district to bleat his election? We believe there are, and that he will be defeated. Bette better, let the avowed Jacobin ETA (who is personally a clover man) be ele than to elect, by our own rotes, our enemy. Revolution! O:7GEoRGE M. DALLAS has lately ten a letter to Bradford county, in whic , claims the right for the Convention to n fy all Charters, Contracts or Engagem, entered into by the State with individ or corporations! It is a disgraceful pa but just such an one as we would ex from a Free• Mason who refused to obey Legislature, and proclaimed the Lodgi be superior to the Constitution! If the I. trine of these bold rebels should prevail, the Patents for Land heretofore issued the State may be annulled, and the I divided among these ruffie•shirt paupers This is the real doctrine of the Masonic Buren party of the present day!
