This must be counted by the world, by all warm hearted chris tians, and what is more awful still, it must be regarded by the Almighty as being of that species of destructive indolence and cogodly recklesness of sacred duty which must sooner or later receive the frown of the church and the just retribution of a righteous sGod. But-if ministers, recreant to duty ,in this important matter, are dead to the interests of Sunday schools, it-is certainly no license to parents to let their children grow up without the benefits of such instruction; for there is a divine command which sets forth bow they are to be trained up, and this command cannot be trodden under foot with impunity. Instead of being indifferent be cause of the neglect of their minister, they have the more cause to be alarmed for the soulsof their offspring, seeing that it almost entirely dependsupon their individual efforts whether their children are to .be early trained in the way which leadeth to Heaven, or whether they are to pass through life with their minds closed to divine truth and their hearts steeled against the long-suffer ing and kind invitations of the Saviour, and eventually find themselves banished from the presence of God and the glory of his power.

QUINCY, Ist July, 1637. WILLIAM FOSTER, Esq. Boston : DEAR SIR : Your frindly letter of the 21st ult. has perhaps remained already too long unanswered; but when I received it, I had expressed opinions respeeting the pre sent condition of our public affairs, in on• swer to inquiries from some of my constitu ents of the twelfth Congressional district, which have since been published, and which I presume are as explicit as you may think they ought to be at this time, and which will pass for what they are worth in the community. I still believe at the duty of every good citizen to contribute, according to his abili ty, towards the forming and modifying of public opinion, because she is more than ever the queen of the world ; but for the regulating of my own conduct, a long and trying experience has taught me two les• sons, though not always to square my con duct by them. The first is to distrust the correctnesss of my own opinions upon every thing prospective and conjectural—The se• cond, never to flatter myself that my opin ions will have any influence upon the action of any other human being. Thus, in the present condition of our country, 1 have very decided opinions upon the past—differing perhaps considerably from yours; certainly differing from those of a large majority of the people of the United States. And, as otii views of expo• dient action for the future might, in a great degree, depend upon the conclusions to which we have come upon the past, it is impossible that the measures which I should deem the only effective remedies for our complaints should be accept ible to the ruling power of the country. I am, and during a great part of my life have been, inn minor ity. It is the business of the majority to propose and accomplish measures. It is too much the practice of minorities.to cx- pond all their energies upon devices to defeat tho measures of the eattlority.. ' ,9L't question of right and wrong, sn far its my oxperience goes, is of use to either party only for the purpose of making professions. We are now in the midst of a national bankruptcy, occasioned by the insolyency of multitudes of individuals. We are now told that all the banks in the United States have suspended specie payments; and, what is the suspension of specie payments but setting the laws of property at defiance? If the president and directors of a bank have issued a million of bills promising to pay five dollars to the holder of each and every one of them, the suspension of specie pay- . ments is, by one act, the breach of one million of promises. %V hat is this but fraud upon every holder of their bills? And what difference is there between 'the president and directors of such a bank, and the skilful artist, who engraves a bank bill, a fac•similie of the bill signed by the president and di rectors, and saves them the trouble of sign ing it, by doing it for them? The only eifference that I can see in the two opera tions is, that the artist gives evidence of superior skill - and superior modesty. It requires more talent to sign another man's name than one's own; and the counterfeiter does at least his work in the dark, while the suspenders of specie payments brazen it in the face of day, and laugh at the victims and dupes who have put faith in their pro mises. You ask what is to be the remedy for this state of things? There are two reme dies, both of which may be practicable. One is, that the Congress of the United States should exercise its powers to regulate the currency; but they must do this (which they will not) without consulting banks, their presidents and directors. The Legis latures of New York and Virginia have already shown what the presidents and di rectors of banks will advise. And the pro posal of the president of a broken bark in Charleston, South Carolina, to begin with an amendment to the constitution granting powers to Congress which have already been granted to them, and which they have twice exercised to the great benefit of the nation, is an insult at once to our under standing and upon our misfortunes. As little do I. relish his other proposal of a general convention of broken bank presi dents and and directors, to enlighten Ron gress with their advice: a_ convention of bankrupts to teach Congress reverence for the obligation of contracts, and how to make nothing but gold and silver a tender for the payment of . delitsl—of all remedies for ex isting evils, the last I would resort to - would be a spurious coin from 'the mint of nulli fication. , The other remedy which I believe prac ticable is that of Solon—a spunge upon the account of thibtor and creditor ;• wipe out all old scores and begin again. This is the hard money system; and so far as I .can judge, it is the essential system of the pre• sent administration;•it is to detach the Gov. ernment from all banking, and deal in no- thing but the precious metals. If Mr. Van Buren is made of stuff to go throughtith this operation, 1 wish him well out o it; but he will want other co-operators than the Legislatures of New York and Virginia.; and other adviser§ than presidents or direct ors of broker' banks, or land jobbers upon -loans from deposite banks, I think-of this as I thought of the dry dock gun-boat restrictive anti navy system f Mr. Jefferson. -It cost the nation a terri ble war to be delivered of that ; but the na. t ion was effectually cured of its hydrophobia. The war was a drastic purge, bet it effectu• ally worked its cure. I fear that our present bankruptcy will need a still more violent course of alteratives, but the cure will come when the people are prepared to receive it. They are certainly not so now ; they will moot probably not be so during thoremnant of my term of I fe. I hope you will live to enjoy the convalescence. Forgive the freedom with which I have answered your letter, and believe me to be, with great respect, your friend and servant, J. Q. ADAMS. From the New-Yorker Speech of Nicholas Biddle. At the opening of the Baltimore and Philadel phia Railroad, in reply to a toast from the Presi dent of the Company acknowledging their obliga tion to the President, Directors, and Company of the Bank of the United States, and saying that. they wore indebted to the Bank for the means of completing the work and the opportunity of meet ing together on the occasion, Mr. Blume said: I am very reluctant, Mr. President, to intrude any poor thoughts of mine upon this highly respectable company ; but I should seem wants ng in a proper sensibility to your courtesy if I did not make some acknowledgment of the manner in which you have alluded to the institution with which lam connected. On behalf of my colleagues in that institution, and for my self personally, I thank you very sincerely and very cordially. I thank you with the more pleasure, because I know that your approbation is not nnmerited by them. In the administration of the resources confided to them, they have uniformly striven to consult and to promote all the great inter ests of the country. They endeavored to establish n sound and uniform currency, the reward of every man's labor, the men sure of every man's property—without which all labor is_pre.caroma, and all prop erty fluctuating. They endeavored to re gulate the domestic exchanges, so as to give uniformity and economy in the corn mercial intercourse between all the States of the Union. We endeavored so to in• fluence the foreign exchanges as to avoid thoso convulsive movements which shake the whole frame of society to its foundation —thus sustaining at all times and at all ha zards, both at home and abroad, the high commercial character and credit of the country. How far their efforts have suc ceeded it becomes me not to say; but since the object has been introduced at this meet ing,l may be allowed to state that these inter nal imerovements, the channels of those commercial connexions which form the strength and wealth of the Uhion, have received a most especial attention, and that they have always given cheerfully and largely to those undertakings which, like your own. air, were wisely planned and ju diciously executed. It is a source of great gratification to them, and I mention it as a fact which may not be without interest here, 1 that in direct and indirect aid, in subscrip Lions, in purchases, in loans to companies and to Judividuals, the Bank of the United States has contributed to the internal im- provements, of the United States at least 615,000,000. lf, therefore, we have been so fortunate as to aid you in this enterprise, we rejoice the more heartily at its success. And now, sir, let me congratulate you, not because it is your success, but because it is our success—because it is the success of every man in this country. This is in• deed a great achievement which you have summoned us here to witness. I remem- ber when, twenty years ago, a fellow cat zen so much before his age as to be deem ed a wild enthusiast—and yet a man whose name it would bo unjust to omit on all oc casions like this—l remember when he had the boldness to predict that the day would come when we should leave Wash• ington in the miming, breakfast in Balti more, dine in Philadelphia, and sleep in New York. You are on the eve of realm- Ing that dream, and in the next step of im provement, which cannot be long delayed, when we shall eat in cars as we now do in steamboats, you will soon outstrip the ima gination of that far-seeing luau, Oliver Evans. But no imagination can yet foresee all the advantages, commercial, social,-and politi cal, which these improvements are destined to produce. I say emphatically political, for it should never be forgotten, and cannot be too often repeated, that the greatest ben efits they confer is, that they render the Union of these States not only more easily preserved, but more worthy of preservation. The completion of this very work will bring into immediate contact in a few hours, no less than five States of the Union. Alrea• dy are the three commonwealths of Penn sylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, more closely linked by it. We of Pennsylvania —if one of the humblest of her sons may presuine to speak for her, in the . regretted absence of her honest, manly, true-hearted Chief Magistrate, whom wo hoped to see at .our head this day—we of Pennsylvania have cpme to welcome your approach, and to witness the ties that bind us more closely around. Why should they not be? Why should they not be, gentlemen of Delaware? Why should they not be, gentlemen of Maryland? Our arms were mingled in the best battle•fields of the war of the revolu tion, and in the last war our common blood dyed the waves of our proudest triumphs on the ocean. Let us then cherish, and rever ence this old and honorable connection, and as we become nearer neighbors, be, if pos sible, better friends. These political bles sings do.not end here, they extend over the Union. The irrepressible energy, the restless ac tivity of our citizens, carry them to the ut most limits of our country. There they might become, insulated. Education could not penetrate their retreats. The law might not be able to reach them. They would gradually' be alienated from their home., and might regard with indifference,perhaps with hostility, their distant brethren, with whom all communion had ceased. Not min! now. These marvellous inventions have levelled the Alleghenies. They have taught us to measure distances not by space but by time. They pursue the piencer to the fren tier—carrying to him alike the means of , instruction and of useful inteicourw. They make him feel that if he has left his home he has not abandoned If.a country, while her laws protect him, while her arms defend him, even in his remote solitude; and - this enables the most distant settkr to re visit his native fireside and renew his old attach ments. These seem small thinffs, sir, bin they are the minute fibres which make up the living mass of the best domestir sympa thies and the purest patriotism. Th.,se im provements thus counteract the hazards of our expanding population. They salve the great problem of free mititutions—how to reate a central power at once not too strew , for freedom, yet strong enough to radiate vigorously to the extremities. They have in fact revealed at last that deep political secret—that we may widen without weak ening our empire. This meeting recalls a singular illustration of that truth. When the present union of the States was adapted, its from was confidently predicted from the want of cohesion in its extended parts, which would render the habitual as semblages of Congress utterly impractica ble. "What," said one of the most distinffuisli ed writers of England in 1783, "What but some extraordinary emergency-like tie in vasion of Xerxes or of Louis the 14th,could make A merican deputies cross a great ocean or a greet continent," and why " should deputies from Georgia leave their families and sail through a great ocean to N. York, in order to lay taxes on their own State,and carry on the affairs of twelve other States in which they have no immediate interest?" At tho expiration of fifty years these depu ties from Georgia and New York take their families to Washington in less time than the members of the British Parliament of that day spent in assembling in London, and these apparently hostile interests have undergone a fusion which makes them iden tical and inseparable. Let us remember, then, that it is not merely the exchanges of commerce which these improvements facilitate, but the far better interchange of knowledge and kind ly offices between distant sections of our country—that men thus meet, who by no possibility could otherwise be brought to gether, overcoming all the pretence of per sonal prejudice, of imaginary local rivalries, and insane party passions; thus harmonious ly blending thou various and peculiar inter ests into that one common interest of us all the spirit•of political union and personal ndness. It is in such a spirit that I yen. are to propose a toast. It is this:— The Rail Roads of the Mated States.—A firm metallic basis of circulation—the best metaltic con ductors in political storms.

The Masonics are surprised at the POP ULARITY OF GOV. RITNER. They cannot appreciate his worth, and wonder that the people should embrace honesty and talents. His Administration is daily gain ing ground in the estimatian of the People, who know that it has been directed by Wis dom and Patriotism. The ABLE STATE PAPERS which have emanated from Gov. Ritner are of themselves sufficient to elevate him to the highest of public confidence. His Inaugural Address, Veto of the Girard Bank, Annual Mee. Letter on the Ma sonry of Washington,and the Proclamation of &lay last, will be handed down to the latest posterity, as evidences of his sound political views, and clear, correct judgment. The Masonice are in a sad quandary con cerning Governor Ritner. They know not whether to be moderate or violent in their abuse of him.

PENNSYLVANIA.—The Van Buren party in the Keystone State are bringing forward the names of all their strong men, in vari ous parts of the State, with a purpose of rubbing them up and selecting thence the strongest and brightest, as an opponent to old farmer RATNER, at the next election for Governor. To the long list of those heretofore published we must now add a couple more. A writer in the Harrisburg Reporter nominates Geu. Jacob Spangler; and a correspondent of the Keystone nomi nates Henry Welsh, Esq. (late editor of the Reporter) both of York county, as suitably qualified to fill the high office of Chief Ma gistrate of that Commonwealth. Judging from the signs of the times, (which indicate a slight attachment to and hankering after power and place, among the genuine "de mocracy,") this long list of "suitable per sons," from which to select the democratic candidate for Governor, Will 'yet receive considerable additions, before the election. While .on the other side, .ffie name of JOSEPH Rirriza appears likely to be the only one mentioned. Whoever may finally he selected. as his antagonist—whether Fayette; Northumberland, Lancaster, or York, shall furnish the "btrong man" for the contest—the way the old Washington county humor will lead him over the course will be "nothing to nobody." The election for Governor takes place in the fall of 1833, and the Van Buren candidate will be demi noted by Convention oi; the fourth . or March next—Balt. Pat. From the Harrisburg Telegraph..

Our interests are sufficiently varied to re quire great concessions, in order that they may harmonize at all. Besides this, if we had occasion for nn extension of territory, is not the character of Texas such that a virtuous people should shrink from enilirac ing her?

We know something about this Texas; and and we can assure the people of the not/- slave/lading States that they are best off while they have least to do with her. It is no wonder THE SOUTH wish to hua her into Uncle Sam's family.

If they can accomplish this. they wilt have secured a preponderance in the U. S. Sen ate that will give them perpetual sway over us so long as the Union may last, which we pray heaven may be forever.

UNIVERSITY Arm SCHOOL LANDS. KA LA M AZOO, (Mich.) July 15. • Tuesday and Wednesday of this week being-the days on which the above lands, situated in ICalamazoo county, were to be sold, our village was thronged with stran gers from various parts of the country. The University Lands, which had been selected from the choicest in the county, were put op a t 820 per acre. The School Lands, which embrace every sixteenth sec. tion in in tae State, were put up at 88 per nccre, and sold from $9 to $445 pet ncrel One school section about half a mile from this village nvernged about $5O per acre, having sold fin upwards of 8:30,0001 The gentlemen in New York who have been selling Michigan lands at one dollar per acre, during the last winter and spring, will be a little mortified when they hear tell of this. It must be considered that the Uni. veretty and School Lands are in their wild state, withoJt any improvements on them; (with but few exceptions, and those may be squatters) Some of the lands owned by the eastern speculators are immediately adjoining those lands, and many of them are not aware of their value, but are disposing of them at n small price, when in fact had they agents in Michigan to sell them, they would fetch, we might say without wow. prating, ten times as much as they would New York. 'We.haVe just received from the auctioneer, Mr. Phillips, of Detroit, a statement of the !acids sold in this village on the above days, _ from which we make the fallowing extracts: Number of acres of school lands sold, 4,450; average. prtpe per acre of farming lands, $15.75; highest price for one acre, (on itchOnlseetion in Kalamazoo,) 8445.

He trusts, however, to the kindness of his friends to avoid the latter alternative. He has many patrons who have been, not only punctual, but very liberal and kind to him at all times—to whom he tenders his warmest thanlrs,and shall always bear them in grateful remembrance. Be has others who deem it unkind to be asked for the small amount due him fromeach respective ly—which he very much regrets: to each, individually, the sum may seem small—hut to him, collectively, they are of great im portance, and fully warants him in asking their payment in cases of emergency. There is a third class (and would that it was n small one!) of "Patrons" who have been patronizing us from 3 to 7 years and upwards, but have not paid one cent towards the liquidation of their accounts! To such he would say, if you have not 'sinned away' your Honesty, do pay him—he will take a ny thing that is passable: boots,shoes, oats, corn, rye, wheat, flour, notes of "the mon• ster," or the "shin.plasters" of our Van Hu ron friends—any thing that will bahnce your accounts.

Mr. Ren shaw obtained his seed from Europe—that of Mr. Noel's is American. The grains of each are plump and large; and we invite our Farmers to call and examine the same. Old sidams. oz? Last Fall, "Old Adams" forgot her integri ty and lost her honor; this Fall, she will wipe out the stain, by giving the Anti-Masonic candidates a larger majority than they ever before received. The Anti-Masons of Adams have much to stim ulate them to exertion. They have a good cause, and they will have good candidates. Their oppo nents have a bad cause—heavy enough an evil to creak down Old Atlas, if it wore put upon his shoulders; and, of course, their candidates will be suited to their cause. None but those of the real sginizx FLAB-ran" stamp need expect to be put in nomination - by them; and if they aro, it will be inconsistent in "the party" to support them—and "the party," every body knows, is consistent in selecting men who will go for its measures, "right or wrosig." The Shin Plaster System. :7•The enemies of the "Shin Plaster System" have a high duty to perform this Fall. The Van Buren parry, THE AUTHORS OF THIS SYS TEM OF MISCHIEF AND FRAUD, have not repented or learned wisdom! They are de termined to persevere in it until the WUOLE coun try has been ruined! They aro not satisfied with the misery and distress that they have brought upon so many thousands of citizens! All, it seems, must drink of the cup of Adversity! Mr. Thomas, a Van B urea member of Congress, and a confilent of the Administration, in tho course Of the late electioneering campaign in Marylhnd;•said he "thanked God that Mr. Van Buren was a "Lion in the path," and that he would sanction no measure of relief inconsistent with the principles already adopted and acted upon!" God save the country from the misrule of an Administration that declares itself hardened in sin, and deaf to measures of relief! Maryland Elect On. There will be four Whigs and four Van Buren Representatives in the next Congress from Maryland. There is a large popular majority in favor of the Whigs, notwithstanding the delegation is equally divided. In two of the districts, the Van Buren men made no opposition; whereas, in the districts in which the Van Buron ticket suc ceeded, the majority was meagre in the extreme. To corrupt Judges, who received illegal votes, the "SHIN PLASTER" party is indebted for salvation from an entire route in every district. York County. Cr We are afraid that our friends in York county have made a mistake in their call to the "Old Guard" to rally, and save their country from the further misrule of the "Shin Plaster party."— They should have rallied the "Anti-Masonic Guard," It is the only body that can be depen ded upon in a charge against the "trained bands" of the "Shin Plaster" Generals. The Anti-Ma sons aro not afraid of spoiling their , ruffles in a hand to hand light—they think more of their country than their clothe's. o,The York Republican is surprised to wit ness the joy of Sir Adam at the result of the Maryland election! • All rogues rejoice at the breaking of the hailer!

A normotki or OATHS IN ENGLAND —By a recent act of the British Parliament, the fallowing declaration is to be substituted in stead of the oaths heretofore required to be taken in accordance with the idolatrous met tom of kissing the book—" 1 do solemnly and sincerely declare that (here the fact is declared) and 1 make this declaration con- scientiously believing the same to be true." All persons taking a false declaration, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and all parsons authorized heretofore to administer oaths, may administer and sign declarations as above specified. prim:lox or criotcz.—Alluding to the dicta torial tone of a Charleston paper on the suhjec of a candidate for the Presidency, the pungen editor of tho Now York Gazette remarks: We . must fix on some individiall on whom to rally as an opposition candidate to Mr. Van Buren; and still, when the great favor ite of the north is merely spoken of es an object of preference, South Carolina tells us he must not be thought of; wo will accept him as an auxiliary in electing the man of our choice, but let no' man mention Ma name ns a candidate! This is pretty much such freedom of selection as took place on choos ing Napoleon Emperor of France. Tho most perfect liberty of choice is allowed, but if you vote for any body but the First Consul, you see these bayonets! A CAPITAL Snoir.--4 person boosted once, in the presence of Lord Norbury, that he had shot a dozen hares at one dis- charge. "Then," replied his lordship, "I suppose you must have shot at a wig." AMALOAMATION.—The Hon. Levi Gil. manton, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Missouri, has lately married, an In. than princess, who was brought tip in the family of Theodore Davis, Esq. of Gibson's Creek, Missouri. The lady is the daughter of a late Fox chief, named Ke.olt ker.ahn, The Black Bear. Mr. Davis received her into his family in 1823, when she was but seven years of age—the old chief request. ing that he would take her to the white set tlements and teach her the art of talking on paper. Her father soon after died, and she became such a favourite in Mr. Davis' fami ly, that they could not consent to have her return among the savages.. Mr. Davis was at the time, a rich Indian trader, and leav ing no daughter of his nvmplfe sent Nydia (as she was called) to Ne*Tersey, among his friends, where she received a superior education. She is said to be a witty,agreea.l ble, and accomplished lady, and very beau. tiful. She speaks the French fluently, has a good musical votco, and is withal, its mt. like an Indian girl, as though she had bean imported from among the far-famed Anda lusian beauties.—Philud. Chr.micle.

EIItDROPHOBIA.-A young girl who was bitten by a mad dog in Philadelphia about three weeks since, died on Thursday after noon in dreadful convulsions. No remedies were of any avail. The managers of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company have. through the pub lic papers, pledged their private property far the redemption of the small notes issued .by them. They feel confident of the profit which the scrip issued by them will produce to the stockholders; and they state that they have so transacted the business of making the road, as to render the company liable for no engagement which it will not be able to redeem.—Harrisburg Chronicle The following communication was written at the time of its date, but was not handed in for publication until this weak:— For the Star & Banner Ma. Enrroa:—The measure which has been resorted to in other places, and which is about to be resorted to hero, to relieve the community from the difficulties brought up. on it by the mistaken policy of the admin. istration of the General Government, can not receive the sanction of the friends of "the Supremacy of the Laws;" for the mea sure itself, is a violation of the laws, and cannot fail, in the end, to be productive of inconvenience and mischief. We are not without experience upon this subject; on a former occasion, when the Banks had suspended specie payments, the country was 'Hooded with the notes of indi viduals and of unauthorized corporatiohs; and the consequence was, los's and inconve nience, less or more to all who received them. To remedy this, and to give the country a sound currency, the Legislature, at the session of 1820-27, passed an act to pro- hibit the Banks of the Commonwealth from issuing notes of a lower denomination than five dollars; and, at a subsequent session, an act was passed, making it unlawful "for any, person or persons, or body corporate, with the intention to create, orput in circu lation, or continue in circulation, a paper circulating &odium, to issue, circulate or directly or indirectly, or cause to he issued or circulated, any note, bili,check ip ticket or paper, purporting or evidencing, or intend• ed to purport Old evidence, that any elm) less than five dollars will be paid," &c. This law► CANNn'P: i iii: EVADED; Its terms embrace every species of promist to pay, intender' as a 'paper circulating medium." Any issue therefiffe of notes e checks, tickets, or certificates, is unlawful and can only be justified by the most absolute necessity.— Yet, Mr. Editor, the community will never view in a favorable light, those who have threatened to prosecute in order "to obtain the half of the penalty."

At a meeting of voters of Mountjoy and the neigh boring townships. opposed to the use of an unlawful currency, held at the Two Taverns, on Saturday the 99th day of July, 18.37— HEZEKIAH HOUGHTE UN, Sen. of Mountpleasant, was called to the Chair, and JOHN ADAIR yof Mountjoy, appointed Secretary. On motion, the chair appointed Adam Wert, Slim ed Durboraw,Eqq. Wm. Cownover,Jacob Fetterhoff and Jacob Onidortta committee to draft and report ro solutums for the action of this meeting—who reported the following, which. after discussion, were adopted by the meeting without a dissenting voice: RESOLUTIONS. 1. So long as the circulation of Shin Plasters,or notes under the denomination of five dollars, shall be prohi bited by any law of our country, we will neither re ceive nor pass any such notes, under any circumstan ces; because it is better for the citizens of a republic to subject themselves to pecuniary disadvantage. and temporary inconvenience, than to relinquish the habit of strict obedience to the laws. . . 2. *We will not support any man for any office who shall be engaged in the violation of law by making, Wain& or passing, Shin-Plasters. 3. We will not support any man for any office who shall encourage the violation of law by receiving Shin Plasters in payment. 4. We will not support any bank-director for any office, so long as the bank of which he is a director shall receive Shin-Plasters in payment. 5. We will not support any bank-director for any office, so long as the bank of which he is a director shall refuse to pay its notes in specie. 6. At the next general election, we will not support any man for the office of county Commissioner, unless we shall have been well assured that, if elected, lie will use hie vote and influence to prevent the recep tion of Shin-Plasters at the county treasury. 7. So far as it may be required by a strict adherence to these resolutions, we will disregard all party names, all party calls, and all party considerations; because the dissolution of all political parties is pref erable to the general violation of any public law. 6. We invite all the working-men of Pennsylvania to co-operate with us in the adoption of these or sim ilar measures United action un the part the sons of industry is all that is requisite to terminate speedily the gloomy reign of Shin-Plasters, and to restore the violated law to its usual and rightful supremacy. On motion, it was Resolved. That the Chair appoint a committee of five, whose duty it shall be to correspond with simi lar committees throughout the county, with a view to obtain the appointment of a time and place to hold a county meeting in opposition to the Bark aristqpracv. The Chair appointed Isaac Paxton, Robert Young, Josiah Benner, George Bercaw and Henry Limier, to be the said committee. On motion, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published by all the public journals of the county.
