Col. difaron Burr is dead.
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.

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.

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.

drunk, he lay there until discovered, which
was about half past'? o'clock the next morn
ing. He was of course immediately remov

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

accompanied with the usual Anti-Masonic
resolutions, setting forth the principles of
our party, has caused ns much confitsion

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!

A Political Judg,e!
O::rJUDGE SHEFFER has been nominated
for Congress by the Masonic Fanny Wright
party of this district! We presumetheJudge
will forthwith resign his Judgeship, or de
cline the nomination. We know ofno more
dangerous, despicable or corrupt thing than
a polilical Judge. Steps have very pro
perly been taken to call n county meeting,
'ON SATURDAY NEXT, to express tho
opinion of the people upon this mode of
polluting the Bench with politics. We
trust every freeman. will attend, and speak
in a voice too loud to be"'misunderstood or
disregarded by this Electioneering Judge.
_ Union and Harmony!
1) - The Masonic Convention which met
last Monday to select a ticket tor The Faith
ful, broke up in a row! Joinv Prcruso, Esq.
and Capt. FREDERICK DrFair, offered a re:
solution approving of the soundness of the
Democratic Senators in the last Legislature
in voting for the law to "Repeal the' State
Tax." The Chairman refused to put the
question—thus acting out the tyrannical '
principles ofthe lawless Fanny Wright Miib,
which ho well represents. &mum BLASE
(a Mason) then moved to throw the resolu
tion under the table, which motion prevailed!
'rho most respectable part of the delegation,
eight or ten in number, then withdrew un- ,
der a most tremendous ©ruction from the
Chairman, Mr. Herbert! , He roared like
the Bull of Bashanl The whole town was
t,
alarmed by the noise! Wore he not pr: . A . '.:
bially sober, ho would have been stqlipose 454

What was expected.
0:Y-So disgusted are all stable, Sober men
with the disorganizing principles of the Ma
sonic Van Buren party, that it is believed
that their ticket will not receive 700 votes
in this county. All the decent men have
withdrawn from it, and left it to Miller,
Herbert and Jim Clark!

TO THE PUBLIC.
I have, for some time pant, understood
that a report is in circulation in some parts
of the County that I am a member of the
Masonic Fraternity, and believing that it
was got up by some individuals to injure
my election. 1 know the unpleasantness of
coming before the Public with a refutation,
being satisfied that where I was personalty
known that it would be unnecessary. Hair.
ing now understood that it is spoken of to
various parts of the county as a fact that I
am a Free• Mason, I do hereby, therefore;
unequivocally declare, that I never beloti,ked
to said order, nor as far as 1 kilo* ark
shall.
I am the Publics Humble Starlet,
WM. TAUGHINBALIGH.
