From the Natligou (liadigua) Banner, ,
• - .Martin . Vasa ahstren.,
Before the people of this State, or. any
othertState in this Union, cast their vote in
favour of this gentlentan,t hey should enquire
what he has done for the country, to entitle
him to their suffrages. Has he originated
any great scheme of Internal Improvment,
or accorded his support to any great measure
which has exerted a benvficial influence on
the prosperity or institutions of the country?
If he has done neither of these things, (and
his most ardent friends are challenged to
prove that he ever did,) it is inconceivable
how he can be exhibited before the country
as a Presidential candidate, well worthy of
popular support. It is most solemnly aver.
red that he has never done any thing in or
out of Congress which gives him a title to
the affections of the West. But what has
Mr. Van Buren done that we should vote
for him?
In Pill and Iql2, he opposed the decla
nttinn of war against Great Britain. ‘Vhet
the gallant tars °lour N.vv were impressed
th, *fish seamen and buried in foreigi
dungeons,' thousands of miles from their
wives and children and their native land,
Mr. Van Buren positively refused to vote
for appropriations to carry on t he war,a
htg that it was . IMPOLITIC and I NEX
I"EDIENT,to carry on a war with England.
He done every thing in his power to defeat
the operations of our armies, so far ns votes
could go. What! American freemen be
longing to our gallant navy, torn from the
bosom of their families and this land of
freedom, and imprisoned by Englishmen in
the gaols of England. bocauSe they were
sustaining the glory of their country, and
Mr. Van Buren the present democratic can.
didate fur the Presidency, declare that a
war with England for Mat very cause was
IMPOLITIC, and to vote against supply ing
provisionsand munitionsofwar to our armies!
What impudence, for such an one to present
himself before the people for their support.
He sustained the anti-war candidate for
_ - -
the Presideuty in opposition to James Madi
son, who was the founder of our Federal
Constitution, who was n supporter attic
war, and who has recently descended "full
of years and honor" to the silent tomb.
in the New York convention of 1821,
Mr. Van Buren voted against the universal
sufrage, saying that the further power was
removed from the people the better. He
voted to place negroes, at the polls, on an
equ*lity with the whites. .
When in Congress, he voted against the
continuation of the Cumberland road h rou
-inclines in every stage of the bill,snd against
all appropriations to construct it. He ono°.
.sed appropriations to clearing out, of the
Wabash river, and he never gave a vote
towable to the West. -
!These are a few of the prominent acts of
the life of Mr. Van Buren, acts which his
friends in Indiana think qualify him for the
Prteidttecy....-Vie_. mean the office holders
fp:oilmen, and land . jobbers, think that these
este qua* him tbesoctr a post. But, what
say the people. they who ere to suffer first,
erbessver Optircresrn. t pea wrong. Can
they 'sustain such a man with pll his tmher•
,ections on his head? Thi.se are questions
of high importnnee to this peop'o. They
have to select between Van Buren and
Harrison. and it would insult their gallantry,
intelligence and Patrintima, to doubt" for a
moment the choice they will "make.

George Schwartz, Major F. Metzger,
John Grove, Daniel S. Barnitz.
Mier th:i appointment of delegates, the
following preamble and rerolutions were
read, and unanimously adopted.
We hold it to be a grand protecting fea
ture in the principles ofour Republican Con
stitutien that, the people can, nssenible to.
gether en. thc purpose ofnational policy, to
commune and 'express their views on the
Prevailing principles and operations of the
goa:ernment, and to make known through
the medium of the press, their approbation
of the same; on ns to inspire a lively inter
est in the bosom of every citizen, of our ris
ing prosperity, under the wise and judicious
management ()fan intelligent and tiforming
adniinist rat iont -Therefine,
Regolve , l. Thai we have full confidence
in the integrity,stribil,ty and sqiini judgment
ofJosErti .Rmistit, our worthy chief inagis
irate, and the present a(limnistratittn; and
the wisdom whirh dictated our happy &thy.
eranett from oppressive taxation and Masonic
misrule:
Re loivear, That we hail with true patriot •
is and Penraylvanian feelings the establish •
meat of our State 'Hank,. by our late wise
Legislature, as., one of their noblest nets;
based on correct republican principles en•
at:ding the wheels ofour . government to move
smoothly round, while our commercial in
terests are more permanently protecte. -1 .. and
established; and assisting the great cause of
education.
Resolved, That in supporting WILLIAM
R. HAIIIIISnN for the Presidency, and
FRANCIS GRANOF:R fir the Vice Presidenry,
we have acted wisely, and as become a free
people,
haying full confidence, that the trust
will be committed to sere hands, from the
existing fact,that in them will be found every
advantage conducive to the public gond.—
And while a portion of our fellow citizens,
and fellow labourers in the great and good
cause of Anti, Masanry, feel more sanguine
and persevering in the destruction of Mason
ry, we still feel confident of being,undivided
on that I,nn t rtientous question, and trust they
will unite wide int irk supporting the Hero of
Tippecandigit4 the riitly consistent Policy
now to be adopted—that when the contest
in over, we can again exult in rallying on
the broad principles of Anti-Masonry. till
the Lodge is hunted out of our happy land.
and not a vestige of shall remain to awa•
ken posterity.
Resolved, That we hail the nomination of
many leading Anti. Masons to our state and
national councils —and particularly that great
champion THADDEU9 STEVENW In a sister
enmity—as another great and lasting proof
of the wisdom of the people, who wish to
make all things new,'and who feel sensibly
the existence of a self regenerating spirit,
walking abroad through our Republic.
Resolved, That as Pennsylvanians. we
abhor with honest indignation Martin Van
uren'b uncalled for interferenro in our onto
onlicy as emplied in his letter to the Ohio
committee, and likewise his unholy war
waged against us and the states generally,
prohibiting the immediate distribution of
the surplus revenue, by which Pennsylvania
would receive several nolhons of dollars,
enable her to rank on an equality with other
great states of the union--believing his op.
position to proceed from interested motives.
aiding the' eposite honks with funds to carry
on a system of fraud and corruption during
the electioneerina campaign. We consider
his aspiring to the presidential chair by such
means, at war with the spirit of our repub
lican laws and rtpublicrin constitution, and
merits condemnation
. as an enemy to state
rights, and unworthy the support of every
Pennsylvanian. ,
Resolved, That the expoiition of G. M.
Dallas on chartered immunities, is a base
insult on our established and respectable in
stitution; and one which if persevered in
would sap the foundation of all legislation,
leading us into the mazes of anarchy and
confusion, without a possibility of protecting
our republican liberty from utter annihila
tion.
- Resolved, That we view with contemn
tho-hase attempts made by the Vim Buren
and Johnson presses to traduce the charac
ter of Willi7lni Henry "Hariiori, and the
Anti-Ntiii'. 7 nntc,.party; but at the Same time
beltioie tliem to be the pure principles of
Van Boron democraev which•acknowledge
no principles, hut office and men.
"Resolved, That We will use every honnra
hle means, to defeat the election of Martin
Van But-en, R. M. Johnson—and the un
equal principles they maintain.
Resolved,. That . the
. proceedings of this

proposing: to me certain questions on the sub
' jeer of Slavery. I shall freely and frankly
answer you. During the last Session of the
Legislature of this State, it became my duty
to record my vote upon the same questions
contained in your Letter. The Committee
on the Judiciary System through their
Chairman,. my colleague, made a report on
certain resolutions of the Legislature of Vir
gists which bud been referred to it. The
report wits .published in. the papers of this
county., and Inns probably attracted
.y.arrrtb
tice, attached to the report' was , thocullown ,,

Resolved, That the Slave•holding States alone
bane ilia right to regulate and controul domestic
Slavery within their limits.
Resolved, That Congress does possess thn Con
slitutionul power, and it is expedient •to uholisl
Slavery and the Slave truth, within the District o

I waled in favor of those resolutions, and
should I he elected to Congress'[ should sus !

GENTLEMEN—Your letter u der date of
the 17th instant, came duly to hand, but pro
fessional and other avocations have hitherto
prevented me from answering it with that
promptness which the subject, therein re
ferred to demanded.
I can now only state, that I am favorable
to the cause of A bolition as far as it extends
to the District ofColumbia,having last win
ter along with a number of my respectable
neighbours petitioned Con2ress on the sub
jest. If I should have the holier of being
elected a member of the House of Repro
sentatives of the United States, I should vote
far the abolition of Slavery and the Slave
trade in the: District of Columbia whenever
that subject camp up for consideration, and
in giving a vote upon any question, rifler
having maturely considered the same, daft
regardless of fear or threats from any quer.

Itnportant Improvement.
Every body will acknowledge the im
ine Ise ailvautages that society already de
rives from the invention of Rail Reads; bu
every reflecting man, every philanthropist
and every man of human feelings, must be
struck with horror at the sight of, shoos
every day, terrible accidents which itecion
palsies that useful inveniii,n; which, like al
others, IS no doubt smiceptiblo of improve
ments. W hen, as all those terrible nevi
dents are evidently caus , d by the d feets it
the construction filthy rails, and in the ma
chmery which is to run over them, it is ur
gent, important, and most nea•ssary to sig
maize them to svery eye, so as to form
public opinion against their cor linuance,par
ticularly for Rail Roods init yet constructed
1. One of the most essential defects is,
that by the rails being horizontal to the
ground, and having but a small gutter in the
inside of the rails,t.i prevent the wheels from
running out of the tracks, that same gutter,
instead of being a real pi event ion, is on the
contrary very often the cause of the wheels
to run off, by being the receiver of stones or
of other miscellanies. 2. That by such a
plan of the rails, if one of the wheels goes
off, the others must fidlow, as if it had been
dune for the purpose. 3. That by the wheels
revolving on such rails,with a single plun , re,
are always in danger of running off, because
su'•h rails are, fir such wheels, the most un
safe guides. 4 That the transversal axle•
trees, which by their breaking, have caused
the most terrific accidents are vet more
dangerous by lorcing the inside wheels in
the curves, to run as last as the outside ones,
consequently to run off the tracks,and cause
so many declarable accidents.
Having thus signalized the most impor
tant defects of the present plan, we will
place in parallel that propoeci by Mr. Plan.
tau, which has already received the appro
bation of General Gratiot, Chief Engineer
of the United Stares, who called on the Coin
mittees on Rail Roads and Canals, telling
them that his plan was worthy of an appro.
printton. Since it has received the appro.
bation of most all the Engineers of Wash.
