• 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. Look at the
iMPIIOIIIg ittitA 1"11* 716 t
I=l
uTho Bill No, .212, entitled,l4An Act tO incorpo"iite the Bank of
Lewistown," was read a secbnd'time, and on the question, Will the
House agree to the first section as sinentledl (test vote) the Yeas
and Nays were required and were as follOvist'
YEAS—Andersonand otherk 37.
NAYS—SteViens and others, 43.
So the question was determined in the negative. 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:

thin vile print—thin SHAMELESS FORGER--tho Compiler
and its writer, whoever he in, would attempt to deceive the People

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-

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,—

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."

MOUE Loco Focinstv.The 'Journal of
Commerce of Tuesday states that at a re
cent meeting of Loco Focos, it was resolved,
that the whole system of Custom Houses
add duties on trade ought to be abolished,
and the expenses of Government defrayed
by direct taxation.
The Democratic Anti-Masons throughout
the State appear to be well aware of the
portance of the approaching election, and
are making zealous and vigorous exertions ,
to carry their candidates. This is right.—
Thd prosperity, welfare and honor of the
State require that a majority of her repre
sentatives should be opposed to the-Masonic
Van Buren party. The conduct of that par
ty at the last session is still fresh-in the re
collection of the people. They know that
but for the integrity and firmness of Gov.
Rimer, every dollar of the public treasure
would have been squandered, and the faith
of the State pledged to the completion of,

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

When, slier the appearance of the Presi.

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

The signs of business retutning are favor:
