Saddle the right horse, sir! • 0 -The VAN BUREN SHIN PLASTER PARTY have involved the coun try in ROTTEN BANK PAPER, and now wish to shift the blame upon their opponents. WHO HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF A SOUND CURRENCY! It is now generally admitted, that if Banks were allowed to issue no notes under the denomination of $lO or $2O, the currency would be sound. Mr. STEVENS attempted to restrict them to that kind of notes in•tho session of 11334-4. He introduced the following section, and afterwards increased it from TEN to TWENTY DOLLARS—TO•but the VAN BUREN PARTY HAD A LARGE MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE, AND DEFEATED IT!!! la the Journals of the House of Representatives of 1834-5, vol. I, page 792-3, 14 the tollowinr-. ".A motion was made by Mr. STEVENS to amend the bill by inser ting the following new section: "Section 2. That all the provisions of an act entitled An act concern ing small notes for the payment of monay,passed the 12th day of April, 102 s, shalt be extended to this and all other banks chartered by this Commonwealth, and to the bank notes of all other States, so as to pro hibit all bank notes of a less denom:nation than TEN DOLLARS, af ter the 4tb of March, 1836 " . On the question, Will the House agree to the new section! the yeas and nays were required, and were— YEAS--Mr. Banks,Bidlark. ,Stfmenig, and 29 others. NAYS—ltinAnderson,and FIFTY-TWO °pars, nearly all Van Burenites! Rad that measure passed, the rich and poor would not now be SUFFERING FROM ROTTEN RAG MONEY. Gross and Villanous False hoods of the Compiler ! 01 .The Editor and. Proprietors of the Compiler are so given to asserting and publiahirtg FALEfEHOODS, that we seldom think it worth while to notice them. But the. DRIVELLING LIAR who writea for that paper, has oven exceeded hinteidf in the last number, and assumed impudence enough to falsify the Records of trio Havre if Bepreientatives In ens ankle headed,by the picture of a work-house, and labelled, " Poles of T. Stevens, Esq., is favor of Banks," the Compiler has deliberately FORGED RECORDS and FALSIFIED THE VOTES .OF MR. STEVENS, as will appear by turning to the Journals !! wi now eased, that ALL the votes given by M'r. Stevens were AGAINST any NEW Banks, but in favor of continuing the old ones only. , Let us take up a few of the votes quoted by the Compiler, and see into the truth of Aberitatentents: Ttitt Compiler says. "On the 3rd of April, a bill to incorporate the Rank of Lew- NUM% weed without a call of the Vasa and Naye—page 743. 4 Tltiiie it BASE FRAUD, and so the Compiler, who had the Journals before Mi. knew, lie knew that Mr, Stevens OPPOSED THIS DANK and VOTED NOAINer /iT„ until *decided nutioilty was found to be in its favor.

But the VAx Buntx MEN were determined to carry this Bank, and they were a majority, • Page 742—Mr. Brooks, of York, and Mr. McElwee, of Bedford, (both Vim Buren) moved to reconsider the Bill No. 212, (the Lew istown Bank,)—The Yeas and Nays were called, and were, YEAS—Anderson and others, 49. NAYS—Stevens and others. 32, , So it was carried in the affirmative, AGAINST Mr. Stevens's vote ! ! ! The Compiler states that Mr. Stevens voted to charter the Perks County Bank. THIS IS NOT TRUE, if it is intended to be un derstood as voting a NEW Bank. Tho eßerks County Bank" was simply converting the Bcrks County Savings Institution into a Bank, sc nti to secure the Depositors the better. All the other cases referred to, are either FORGERIES OF THE RE'C ORD, or merely continuing OLD BANKS which had been created yeors before, like the Bank of Gettysburg, Bank of the United States, of Chambershurg and others, And is there any man mad enough to say, that they should have been annulled, so long as they paid specie? Does even the Loco Form of the Compiler sup. pose that the People of Adams County are fools enough to desttoy . ALL Banks while they were good,and thus ruin the poor laborer, and reduce the rich man's, the farmer's property more than threo-fourths? Esie Meg Bal.() ohm that Mr. titeveno OPPOSED the creation of NEW BANKS during the session referred i to,we give u few TRUE extracts from the Journals, which had the Compiler been honest, it would have given: Firs! Vol. Journal of 1834-5, page 841-4 , The bill No. 213, entitled An net to incorporate the "Farmers fund Drovers Bank of Waynesburg," was read a second time, and the question, Will the House agree to the first section! the yeas and nays worn called, and were— YEAS—Anderson and others, 40.

And yet thin vile print—thin SHAMELESS FORGER--tho Compiler and its writer, whoever he in, would attempt to deceive the People by arraying a STRING OF FALSEHOODS pretended to be found an Mc Journat!t! Can the puoplo suffer such conduct to pass unrehuked! Will they not arouse in their honest indignation against alt such liars,and give Sfeveits, Pessrotte,,sind their calumniated Colleagues, AN OrERIVIIELMINO MAJORITY? THEY WILL! Letter of Governor Ratner, In reply to one from citizens of Eric, Pa., welcoming him to their GENTLEMEN—Your friendly letter of welcome to Erie, is the more acceptable, inasmuch as it announces that the strong measure for the salvation of the credit and resources of the Commonwealth, which was forced upon me at the close of the last session of the Legislature, has met the same degree of approbation in the North Weet, as in the other quarters of the State. It is also most gratifying to learn that the loss of the improvement bill, in which the people of Erie felt, so deep an interest, is attributed to the right cause. In return, it gives-me great pleasure to btate. from a knowledge of the feelings of the other counties, that there now exists a general desire to perfect the original design and to redeem the plighted faith of the commonwealth, by completing, as speedily as practicable, one main lineefeom munieatton, from Philadelphia to the Harborer Erie. This project has had my ardent support ever since it was recom mended by the intermd improvenient convention -of - 191S"; and nothing but a firm 'belief that the Improvement fill of the last session, would, among its other evils, haveletarded its fidfilmant, caused me to oppose that measure. Let us inquire, tor a moment, gentlemen, what would have been the condition of the pubic resources, enclitic prospects of the Erie extension at .4he opening of the ap• preaching session of the Legislature, if that bill had become a law. All the funds of the commonwealth, both her own, and those deposited, would have been expended; not a single dollar would have been in the Treasury, even to pay the interest of her debt—works, both by the State and by com panies, would have been commenced in every quarter— those would have made small progress indeed in proportion to the outlay, because the demand for labor would have been out of all proportion greater than the' supply. Nor would the laborer have benefited in any degree by the rise of the nominal price of his labor; inasmuch as the prices of prom ions rend clothing would have kept equal pace with his means of procuring them. In this condition of things, all those works would have I come before the Legislature with demands for aid, quite as loud as those of the Erie extension of the main line, and the other works which possess a prior claim on the State. And what would have been the result? There is little doubt that not a dollar would have been- appropriated to any work of improvement whatever.- All would have shrunk from a State tax. No moderate loan could have been authorised, because such a measure would have been defeated, by its own intrinsic unpopularity, or have been so swelled by that course of legislation termed log-rolling, that it would not have become a law, and the session of the Legislature would again have closed without any provision for carrying on the public works. And the ensuing season, should it prove to be like the present, would have beheld Pennsylvania, per- haps unable to pay oven the interest of her debt. Nor would this have been the worst. Another long and doubtful sus- pension of operations would have fallen on this, as well as on the other portions of the system. That this would have been the case, experience has proved. We have all seen how difficult it is to obtain means to prosecute an improve. went after it has been once abandoned, and the public have learned to think that its claims can be postponed for the present. Whenever this idea fastens itself upon the com munity, the task-of resumption is a matter of extreme diff culty. But what is the state of things now ? No suspension has taken place. Operations on the main works have progress• ed during the whole mason, and on that portion of the main line of the Pennsylvania canal, in which you feel most in terested. the difficulty has not been in the procurement of funds, but in obtaining hands to expend the money provided by the prudent foresight of a former legislature. The State Treasury is full. The minds of the people have been brought to reflect on the whole subject of internal improve ment; and if I am not very much mistaken, the next Legis- lature will come together, instructed by the voice of public opinion, to prosecute vigorously and complete the works al ready begun, without, for the present, diverting any portion of the public means to new works. Should this course be adopted, and should the appropriation to complete the canal to the Harbor of Erie be so made that it shall, during the ensuing season, be applied to the most difficult portions of the work on the whole line yet to be placed under contract, leaving the lighter parts for the second year, the whole may readily be completed in two seasons, from the ordinary re• sources oldie Commonwealth, without increasing the public debt. Thus the final completion will not have been retard. ed but hastened by the events of last winter. You have alluded to the exertions mado to place Pennsyl vania in her , proper attitude with regard to the Federal Government. 11l have any claim to merit in this respect, it is to be found in the defeat of the bill just mentioned.— In my opinion the failure of the improvement bill of last session has freed this State from the most imminent danger of becoming either bankrupt or the mere ibrall of the Gen- ERIE, Sep. 2, 1R27. en*Government. ifcaUght with an empty . treasury and, a chaotic mass of half finished and Clamordits improvements, at the fall eleCtioils, a change of ;kitties would either have been dictated to her ,under the empty promise of a share of the public spoils to prosecute her works, ot she would have been ground into hopeless bankruptcy.

FELL° w-C rri zEss,—The opproaching election is of great importance to you both as Anti-Masons and citizens; a crisis has arrived as it respects you in both capacities. As Anti-Masons, kis believed and asserted that you have abandoned your princi ples, and that you will. quietly permit the Lodge to triumph over you; if it succeeds in electing its candidates at the approaching election, then have all your former t and former exertions been in vain, and worse than in vain, for you have done nothing but aggravate the institution without de. stroying its power to do you injury. It would have been much better for you and for the country, that the impious and wicked institution had never been assailed; it will entertain a higher opinion of its own power when it learns that its craft and perseverance have triumphed over the popular will and popular opposition; itwill commence with re. rowed and renovated vigor its race for power and Dike, and we shall again find the oath hound crea tures of the Lodge tilling all places of honor and emolument; the rights of the people will again be trampled upon by the Priests and Knights and Kings of the Orden liberty and life will again be endangered by the supremacy of an institution that claims the right to judge and punish without the sanction and in defiance of the laws. You have assailed the institution and condemn ed its principles and its practices; you have laid bare its secrets and its impieties, and directed pop ular indignation against them, By this you have excited the hostility of its members and they will not forget it when they again come to occupy the seats of power, Vengeance is a principle feature in its monstrous code, and it will make you that have opposed it, and laid bare its iniquities, its victims. It will persecute you with a tenfold greater persecution than if you bad never opposed it, for if it succeeds in putting down the people it will believe the assertion of its orators, "that a world in arms could not overthrow the Institution," and confident in its strength and regardless of the laws, it will wage against you a warfare destruc tive to your happiness and prosperity. Your du ty then as wise men, awake to their own inter ests, is plain--operscvere" until not one stone of the institution shall remain upon another. But you are citizens as well as Anti Masons. and,consequeraty have other duties to p.s.form..-- It is true that Masonry is the root of most of the evils that Millet the country—even of those that '• the careless observer believes to be in no mqpner connected with it; as mobs and riots, which grow oat of the disregard of law, inculcated by the Ma sonic and kindred institutions. Perhaps, ton, it Would be wrong to say that Masonry was not the cause which has produced the present embarrass ment and distress that pervades the country, for I these have grown, in a great measure, out of the violations of the laws by the Banks which have refused to redeem their notes with specie; and it would be hard to say that the disregard and viola tion of the laws by the Banks is not attributable to Masonic example. And every one knows that the embarrassment and distress which the country is now suffering, have been produced through a vio lation of the laws by our Masonic rulers, who re moved the public funds from the place of legal de posite, to Banks whose officers anti stockholders had no claim to such a favor, save such as Mason ry gave them upon their brother Masons who were at the head of the Government; so that medi ately or immediately, Masonry seems to be the cause of all, or, most of all our calamities and mis fortunes. The triumph of Anti-Masonry is then the remedy by which the country in to be restored to her prosperity and happiness. I shall pursue this subject to a conclusion in another communi cation. AN ANTI-MASON. The Past and the Present. . Our country may .be compared to a wealthy Man, of a robust and vigorous constitution, at the. expiration of the glorious administration of the Younger Adams. But unfortunately Another and' severer destiny awaited it; for the people willed at this prosperous ern, that its guardianship should be committed to the hands of afiet of desperadoes, at the head of which stood that Old Roman, the redoubtable DOCTOR JACKSON ! No sooner was be entrusted with the Government of this hap py country,,than ho institutes a series of wild and • disastrous experiments, for the relief of diseases that had no existence but in his owri morbid im agination. All that was requisite for him to do, and which a judicious physician, entrusted with the health of an individual, would have done, was to keep a vigilant eye to. the condition of the country, maintain that healthy circulation, and provide that wholesome nourishment to which it had been accustomed, and which were so admira bly adapted to its prosperity. Its circulation was healthy and vigorous, but no sooner did this modern Bangrado set his machine. ry in operation—no sooner did he take the Con stitution into his unholy keeping, than it began to sicken—from which, however, it might have been relieved by the - timely use of the remedies from time to time suggested by its friends. But the Old Doctor reasoned thus: , 6I have a good fat re spectable patient, from whom I can obtain both riches and "glory"—(of the latter of which it is well known I am immoderately found!) if, how ever, I relieve him immediately. I can have no reasonable pretext for a heavy fee; but if I tamper with him, so that ho linger on until the expiration of my term, I will at least have a plausible pretext to bring in a bill for services rendered in propor tion to the length of time in attendance; and should he chance to survive my term of service, I will still be able to leave a good fat patient to my dear asuceessor," Doctor Martin:" And so it has come to pass ! DOCTOiI MAIRTIN, to become still better vented in the art of imposi tion, was sent by. Doctor Jackson to the Royal College of Physicians in Great Britain, from whence he returned, with what improvements up on his master's theory, every attentive observer. must jie well aware. The patient still survives, but his constitution has been so reduced under the mel-treatment of Doctors Van Buren, Benton and Wright, that it Is doubtful whether he will be able to out-live the last remedy devised, unless some other more con 3de-idiots* and skillful phyßichin step in and snatch him from their mismanagement. The last nostrum which this trio of medical quacks have thought it'expedient to resort to, is to cover their sinking patient with a nauseous batch of irritating plasters, (vulgarly called "Ain-play,- tcrx,") which his weak and irritable constitinion will no longer be able to bear! Foul and loath some ulcers %yin be the necessary COlNequenre of such treatment—the ultimate tendency of which, it is greatly to ho feared, will be a dissolution of their patient. But should the patient die, Doctor Jackson ham attended him tltithfully to the end of his term. and retired to the Hermitage, full of "glory !" Doctors Van Buren, Benton and Wri.;lo, will have each obtained what they so much desire, a good fee ! But ore the PEOPLE Natl6lloll to look calmly on to the consummation of this work of destruction ! No. By proper management they may yet per haps avert the worst; their country may yet be snatched from the fate that is impending over it with such portentous aspect. The remedy is gam: pie, to which every lover of his country, however high or law his station, can equally contribute,— (0 - ..

ROUSE TO ACTION, AND ELECT YOUR WHOLE TICKET IW A TRIUMPHANT MAJORITY ! To A nti-Nlasons. Mu. EDlTOn,—When it became known in Lan caster, last year, that the Anti-Masonic ticket in this county had been defeated, the Masonic Editor of that place, came out in a paragraph, headed, "hell and the devil beat;" and his congratulations to his Masonic friends, betrayed that he was al most delirious with joy, which found vent in such profane declarations as the one we have quoted. The rejoicings of the Lodge on that occasion were unbounded. The trhppinga and childish gew-gawa which had been laid aside, were again brought forth and displayed in the triumphal Faiti of;setons hold in honor or the victory which the Masons had obtained over the people. Believing that it had acquired a complete and final triumph, the Lodges were once more opened, and their un hallowed ceremonies re-commenceti; again sedu ced by the power and advantage which a connexion with the Lodge was promised to bring, candidates for Masonic promotion appeared and were initia ted; the fires were re-kindled upon the altars of the Institution, and its blasphemies and impieties were once more to ho made instrumental to place its members beyond the power of the laws. This was in the cities; the country Lodges were not re opened; hut let thorn achieve another victory, and their unhallowed le de Inis will ring from one end of the State to tho other—their members will come forth with new confidence to claim the immuni ties and privileges which Masonry promises them. The laws will cease to be respected ; courts and juries will again be corrupted, and the lives and liberties of the people rendered insecure. Fellow-Citizens! This is not idle declamation. Before the power of Masonry had waned, an American citizen, for exposing its iniquities, was put to death, and his murderers shielded by the Institution—by the contempt which it had taught for the majesty of the laws, witnesses stood mute; jurors refused to find a verdict against brothers of the order, rt.id thus criminals, guilty of the highest offences known to the laws, ran, nunwhipt of justice." Shall Masonry triumph? ix the question which you arc to answer your country at tho polio. Rag Money Party • The Masonic party have lately won them selves a new title—they are now by common consent called the "Shin plaster" party ! This title they richly 'merit. The whole country gives it to them as their just due. Before they came into power we had a good sound currency of gold and silver I This you all know. They have been in power a little hotter than eight years and they have stranded the ship of State—they. have run her upon breakers and she is now high and dry—bankrupt and ashore !

It is howe% , er, now up with them. They can no longer disoan it.

This is Van Buremsm. Will the people suffer themselves to be governed by such rag money projectors ? At Washington city the officers are paid their sidaries in gold—they say the people 'must be paid in shin plasters. Late deveb opernents prove beyond doubt that arange meats had been entered into by the federal executive and his minions around him, and the Deprisite Banks to suspend specie pay. meats that the countiy might be flooded ad with _shin plasters and then charge it to the Whig party; but they most signally fail ed in every attempt. They made a gallows for Mordecai, but they mina hang on it themselves. Thus is iniquity always re. warded.—Hurrisburg Chron. Gov. Ritner's veto of the Improverrient Bill was the most popular act ever perform. ed by any Chief Magistrate. It wag re ceived with a burst of admiration and ap. plunge from one end (tithe State to the other. Ail classes and all !untieo united in giving praise to their Chief Magistrate for the stern integrity winch prompted him to stand out boldly in opposition to a majority of both Branches of tho Legislature. And will those who approved of that act desert Gov. Ritner now? Will they elect to the Legis future men who will vote for the improve ment bill, and thus defeat the very objects which Gov.

And if the people of Pennsylvania should so twill at the next election, and SERGEANT and .VTEVENS should, in consequence, take the ,place of the prevent Senators in Congress from that State, we don't think the public interests of the old Keystone would suffer by .the change.

We hope the meeting will be well attended. cri-Tlie Masonic party, through the Compiler and otherwise, are attempting to create tho im pression that if Mr. Stevens is elected to the Le gislature, he avill have to vacate his sent as a mem ber of the Convention, and thus cause a special election. This they know to be untrue. The Convention will have adjourned before the Legis lature meets. It sits in the Hull of the House of Representatives, and of course cannot sit while the Legislature is in session. It will have finish ed before December. Several of the members aro candidates for office. Besides, the President,Mr. St'MEANT, is a member of Congress, as well as Mr. FuEv; and Congress meets a week earlier than our Legislature. This objection, therefore, against Mr. Stevens' election is, like all others, grotindless. To what petty shifts is the Lodge put to deceive the People! TIM REVEREND LIBELLER. a:7.We learn with more regret than surprise, that the Reverend Libeller who usu ally, as the election approaches, converts the house of God into a school for scandal, has renewed his pulpit slung against our ticket, or at !east some of the members of it ! We had hoped that time and age, if not prayer, would have assuaged the ma- ' lignity which rankled in his bosom against ono of our candidates, because he would not obey his commands and go against what he called the "German Foreigners," meaning our honest Ger man population ! But we were mistaken. The Spirit of Darkness, when it once takes possession of a heart wearing the mask of Religion, is tenfold more devilish than in common sinners. But can it longer be endured, that the Sacred Desk is to be converted into a forum for low ma lignant political electioneering, and foul calumny? Will a decent and mural congregation longer tot crate his rude obscene rovilings I Will they sit by and see the worst spirit of Demons acted out in the name of the Most, High ? Something is due to their own characters, and the feeling, and the moral culture of their families. Surely, none of them will pretend that the church, with such a ribald lecturer, is a fit place for modest females. If the Reverend Slanderer desires to act oven the part of a manly traducer, let him attend the political meetings to which all are invited, and utter his bombastic calumny where lie can be an swered, and where, we promise him, ho will find his merits depicted in their true colors. Let him no longer, DASTABD LIKE, shield himself un der a counterfeit commission from Heaven. We regret, on account of his very respectable Congregation, that duty compels us to make these remarks. But we can no longer hold our peace without betraying our trust, We need baldly name ,the Clergyman to whom we allude, as there' is but ono in the county of Adana who evuld be guilty of such conduct—and he is well known by the shove description To the Democratic Anti-Masons of Adams County. 13:1-The question is now fairly presented to you, which will that the sincerity of your professions-- the question whether you will support for office Me members. and Buppurters of an oath-bound Secret Association ?

WASHINGTON, Sep. 23. When, slier the appearance of the Presi. dent's Proclamation convening Congress, the question was asked of us, as it frequent ly was, "what will Congress do when they meet r we always answered, to the disap pointment of nearly all inquirers, "Nothing for the relief of the country, whatever tern porary expedients may be found necessary to carry on the Government." We foresaw' that the riding powers would not have suf &red encregh;Abat they would not be stuff!, ciendy, convinced of their own errors, by ; the time of the assembling of Congress, either to renounce or repair them. The language of the President's Message to Couvress justified our apprehensions. Bat, if that bad been less explicit, a little °beer yahoo of the movements in Congress leaves no doubt that the time has not yet come for our inakre doing any thing but what is abso lutely neresaary, for their own sake, to keep the Machine of Government from falling to pieces. We have arrived at the close of the thitd week oldie Extra-Session, and, except the sanction given by one House to a tempora ry issue of paper money by the Treasury, nothing has been done, of the grave and weighty matters, for the consideration of which, we were informed, by the President's Messa,ge, this Extra-Session was necessary ! And even this Treasury note bill lies fast asleep in the House of Representatives.— A serious but ineffectual dna was made, indeed, by the chairman of the Committee el Ways and 3leans,yesterday aeernoon, to rouse that body to action: for, he informed the House, that it something was not done within a week; the treasury must stop !-- Tire House adjourned, notwithstanding this urgent. appeal,--/nrci. - -LIBERTI etismiesailrner of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Mr. John Quincy Adams alone handed in one hundred. Mr. Naylor and Mr. Sargeart, and sev. regal other gentlemen of your delegation, handed in remonstrances of the same char. aster. Several National - Bank petitions were also presented, and referred to/the Committee of Ways and Means. / The Committee on Elections made a re. port on the subject of the Mississippi Elec tion. accompanied by a resolution, declare tory that Mew.

Mr. Maury, of Tennessee, of the in;nority, stated that a counter report would not be made; tent, that when the report was taken up, he should move an amendment to the resolution. At this pain' t it was found necessary to orders call of the House, as there were not fitly members present, all having gone into the Senate to listen to Mr. Clay. Mr. Canitairia w from the Committee o Ways and Means, to whom had been refe • red sundry petitions on the subject of a Na tional Bank, reported a resolution, that it is root aura necessary to charter a National Bank.

The signs of business retutning are favor: able,-more nod more so evel•y day. British Government bills now are ofFered at 18 per cent. premium, a fall of 3 or 4 per cent.— The Canadians do this business for us.— Bank of England notes are also flowing in hero, and are used as remittances.
