Gen. Miller's
0:1M. Hamm seams to suppose it necessary to clear himself of the charge of having taken
tbe Masonic Obligations as charged against him in the Star—thereby admitting, that if he had taken
them, be could not expect his fellow:citizens to support him for office. It would give us great plea
• Sure Übe could prove that he ie not guilty of the abominable oaths of that bloody institution. But
In this we fear he will fail. He cannot and does not deny that he is a Royal Arch• Matton-‘ has
akin *eoliths of Etttered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, Master Mason and Royal Arch Mason. But
be makes tbe . following denial as to what ho did not swoon--
-'•T never did swear, or come under . any obligation, as is charged in the Star, that I
would promote a companion Royal Arch Mason's political preferment in preference to
another of equal qualifications—nor did I over swear or promise, that a companion
Royal Arch Mason's secrete, given to me as such, and knowing them to be such, shall
remain as secure and inviolable in my breast as in hie own, murder and treason not ex-
cepted—nor hive I ever, as a Mason or a man, come under any obligations which could
'have the Slightest tendency to Make me shrink or swerve from my country's cause, or
my duties to my fellow citizens."
Now, although we would believe Gen. Miller's word in every thing but Masonry, yet we must be
permitted to doubt it upon that Subject when it conflicts with the OATIIs of several thousand as res.
pectable men as are in the Union. Every Mason assorts, (and it is his boast,) That Masonry is
the same - every where—in Europe and America, and in every country of each. Consequently,
when we prove what the Royal Arch Oath is in other places, and how other Masons took it. We
prove what Gen. Miller swore.
" In the Legislative Investigation, in the session of 1835-6, ovary witness examined (about a dozen)
SWORE that the Royal Arch' Oath contained the following clauses:—
"I furthermore promise and swear, that I will assist a Companion Royal Arch Ma.
son when I see him engaged in any difficulty, and espouse his cause so far as to extri
cate bim from the same, wnwrnaiz HE. an RIGHT OR Immo."
"I furthermore promise and swear, that I will keep ALL THE SECRETS of a
Companion Royal Arch Mason, (when communicated to me as such, or I knowing them
to be such,) WITHOUT EXCEPTION."
"I furthermore promise and swear, that I will EMPLOY a Companion Royal Arch
Mason IN PREFERENCE TO ANY OTHER PERSON OF EQUAL QUALIFICATIONS,"— lhal "1
will !rupport the POLITICAL PREFERMENT OF A ROYAL ARCH MASON
IN PREFERENCE 'TO ANY OTHER PERSON OF EQUAL QUALIFI—
CATIONS." [See 2nd Vol. Journal House of Representatives of 1833-6, page
- 839, 9,4. c.
After these oaths were proved by numerous witnesses to be taken by ALL Royal Arch Masons,
Den. MILLER was called by the Committee, and requested to be sworn, to say whether these things
Were TnUa on NOT. BUT NZ IMPOSED TO BE MOEN, AND STOOD MUTE!
Will auy wan now believe Ws vague assertions, when he then had an opportunity TO aTATE THE
gEIITH ;mica cisau I if these things had been fake ns WOULD HAVE swears Ir ! But, although
ite denies when not under oath, he was not propored to swear it.. He was like another witness in
that investigation, Mr. Anntir•WAßD, of Philadelphia The book was tendered to him and he was
naked to be sworn to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth:' He ilectinea, but
stated "that the institution of Free-Masonry was Charity, and that he had never seen any harm
grow out of it, nor had ho ever seen any thing political about it"—The Chairman remarked, "per
haps you had better SWEAR to that"—"BUT THE WITNESS STILL REFUSED TO BE
SWORN TO WHAT HE HAD . JUST STATED !I" (Second Vol. House of ltepresenta•
Ayes of 188.-6, page 857-8.
No reliance, therefore, can be placed on these general denial. of Masons not under oath. Indeed,
ihey have taken a seenrr oath thus to deny J The General would do well never again to deny
She "Disclosures," until he is ready to testify to it under oath.
General Miller and the Bank !
ci.Gen..liiltr,zert says, he was once in favor of the U. S. Bank, but is now opposed to it. What
!has happened to make him opposed to it who was once its friend t While it was a National Bank;
sunny opposed it on Constitutional grounds; but now it is a Pennsylvania institution, it would be
.supposed that its former friends et least would not object to it—especially in these times of distress,
when many think the only remedy is a National Bank. 'l l be truth is, the General wants votes—
.and guts he W. take ouch side as may suit the times !
"Extravagant Expenditure of the
People's Money ! !
(11.1 t is evident that the object of the Iran Buren party throughout the State, is to pass the
most wasteful end extravagant appropriation bill—to squander the Public Money, so as to bring the
.Goventor into difficulty and hurt his next election! No matter what their professions are while
candidates!, when elected the whole party go together, and do any act which they think will ember
twee the Executive. Last year, the Van Buren candidates of this County profemedto be the friends

William Kin_,
Tun _GOLDEN AGE—not for the People,
but their Servants.—lt has been an edify
ing thing during the present session of Con
gress—(when the sight of a piece of coin
amongst the People is a positive cure for
sore eyes)—to see the piles of gold brought
from the Treasury by the officers of the
two Houses, to pay the Members of Con
gress their wages and mileage. Happy
people, to live under so paternal a Govern
ment! under a Government which . takes
such good care (as Mr. WEBSTER said on
Thursday) of number one and number tiro—
meaning, we suppose, the Executive and
Congress—Nat. Intel.
By the above (says the Philadelphia inquirer)
it will be seen, that the very gold and silver which
is extorted from the poor man in payment of the
postage of a letter from a wife or friend, is paid
back in gold to the members of Congress! The
ship carpenters, blacksmiths and other mechanics
in the employ of the government, are, however.
compelled to take rags or shinplasters. How long
—we again exclaim—will the People—the De
mocracy of this country, tolerate an administration
that thus invidiously distinguishes between the
rich and the poor 1
We ask the attention ofour readers to the
following extract from a report on the state
of the Treasury, made by Mr. CsaIDRE•
LEN° to the House of Representatives, from
statements prepared by himself, and taken
from the books of the Department.
"Of the rtvz MILLIONS due from banks,only . 0750,-
000 aro dtse from the banks east and north of Virginia,
and but $250,000 from other banks, which can be
considered available—leaving WHOLLY UNA
VAILABLE is aabsors Berms, FOUR MIL
LIONS!'"
What a commentary upon the wisdom of
one of the measures of General Jackson, the
removal of the deposites—for which he has
been lauded to the skies by his servile adul
ators, is to be found to the above statement.
Until the ruthless hand of power had wrest.
ed the public treasure from the custody of
the institution in which it had been placed
by the laws of the country, every dollar of
it was SAFE and AVAILABLE. But this
institution had virtuously resisted all attempts
of the government to pollute its•chastity—
had indignantly repeled every advance mad?
every seductive art used to induce it to be
come a vile political tool in the hands of the
party in power—and Andrew Jackson willed
its destruction. As a national institution,and
as a keeper of the nation's wealth, it was
destroyed, and MARK THE RESULT—
Of the fiat millions of public money due from
the pet banks—banks selected with an eye
to the devotion of the officers and directors
to the measures and doctrines of the "fever
ed chief," rather than the credit and solven
cy of the institutions—FOUß MILLIONS
ARE WHOLLY UNAVAILABLEM—
Freemen, can you calmly look upon this pic
ture? Can you see the public treasure thus
wasted? Can you see corruption stalking
through the lanctotiid with an iron band des
troying our best institutions, leaving us of
liberty nothing but the name? Can yen see
trade and commerce destroyed—oar manu
factories closed—thousands of htirriari beings
out of emplopnent,fernaTes as well as males,

GOLD Coix*og.—lt appears from Mr.
Benton's Report that upwards of EMIT
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS Of
gold has been coined at our mint sinceJami
ary last. This shows how attentive the Gov
ernment has been in preparing the Mint
Drops—gold for Members of Congress and
o'Fce-holders,while the mechanics and Rev
olutionary soldiers are pa id_ in rags! It ap
pears that ten millions and upwards ofspecto
has been imported in the seine time. We
should like to know what has become ofthee
balance. The Globe says that Gen. Jack
son imported it// the specie—if so , it must
have gone into the Treasury, but it does not
appear from Secretary Woodbury's Report
that any of it has been left. Where is it?
TREASURY SHIN PLASTERS.—The Van
Buren party in the Senate of the U. States
have passed a bill to authorize the Secreta.
ry of the Treasury to issue TEN MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS of Shin plasters
in the shape of Treasury notes. This is
the metallic currency—the gold and silver
—the real hard money—promised us by
that party previous to the last election. Ten
millions of dollars of Treasury Shin Plas-
ters! And this is the end of their talk about
a metallic currency! Was ever any people
so miserably humbugged?--Lancaster Her.
What has become of the promised Hard
Money Currency ? Where is the Gold and
Silver that were to "shine through the inter
stices of every man's purse ?" How long
will the people remain blind to the bare-fa
ced roguery of the Washington Cabmet ?
Don't they see the administration asking
Congress for a National Treasury Bank !
Hay nt they reported a bill to authorise the
issue of Treasury shinplasters? Are they
not robbing the people to pay gold and sil
ver to the office-holders? Let such demo
cracy nod such democrats perish.—Carlisle
Republican.
"The amount of Bank Capital, incorporated in
Pennsylvania, when Governor Ritner was elected,
was $18,000,000."
The above paragraph is weekly paraded
in the columns of the York Gazette with a
view to prejudice that portion of the Van Bu-;
ren party which had independence enough
to vote for Joseph Ritner at the last guber
natorial election.' It is false in every par
ticular. The most ignorant man in York
county knows that when Governor Ritner
was elected, the United States Rank, with
a capital of thirty five millions, was mew-
TED at Philadelphia; then the Bank held a
charter from Congress—now it holds one
from the State, with the same capital, and
located in the same place. Is it not then
preposterous to say that the . Bunking Capi
tal in this State has been increased 'under the
auspices of Governor Ritner to the' extent
named by the Gazette. •
The Governor—who is emphatically one
of the people—a tiller of the soil—and who
knows too well the dangers of paper money
to advocate its emission--exercisedthe-Ve.
to power in the only instance where a large
amount was added to that already existing,
viz : the addition of three and a halt millions
to the capital of the Girard Bank. When
the veto came before the Rause of Repre.
sentatives, the Van Buren members, with
only four exceutions, voted against sustain:
ing it, and in favor of adding to the capitals_
of the Bank I--Hanover Herald.

about a reform in public affairs, would do well to call
off such Bull Dogs, or the consequence may be a
feat as signal as that experienced last election. Tbe47;::

We 'should have treated thin 'adi.tarial as '-
we have done others of a similar dbaracter-
from that press, without , comment;:had it -
not been to correct au error o f the Masonic
organ of this city, by which the article has •.
been indorsed.
The Journal has classed the Repository
among the Anti-Masonic prints,and rejoices
that it condemns the application of the title
Masonic to the party of the - Journal:
For the information of those untiectliaint
ed with the doctrines of the Repository, we
would merely remark that it is. a Masonic
print of the most rancorous and malignant
disposition, and one that has no political re
lation to the Union, either by affinity or
con
sanguinity..
We do not intend ever to apply any pro
cess of reasoning to correct the blind infat
uation of Masonic , bigotry; it would•be like
throwing water on 'a Duck's back.
Fortunately for the liberties
.of the coun
try, all Masons are not alike. The Anti-
Masonic party aboimds with seceding Ma
sons; virtuons,honorable, patriotic and pious
men, whose good sense alone have admon
ished them to abandon the idolsond fooleries
of the Lodge. The first Anti-Masonic con
vention that convened in the country, were
exclusively of the order of Free- M asonaitaie
those of the highest degree, whose experi
ence enabled them to lay before the world,
what the murder or Morgan had kept from
the light of day. . •
But such Masons as adhere to their obli
gations, and believe they are bound to assist
each other "right or wrong, murder and
treason not excepted," and that the govern.
ment of the country may with safety tolerate
the government of Masonry;-and who startle
at the word Masonry, in print, when applied
to their pretended political opponents, as
though it were the ghost of Morgan; to them
we shall not look for assistance iu bringing
about a "reform in public affairs," nor shall
we feel offended at being coupled by such,
with our friend of the "!Star end Zenner,'

ted that originally Anti• Masonry was without dis
tinction of party, and says a notice for an Anti-
Masonic meeting, which he publishes, was in Mr.
Bravura' htuni•writing; that by such means some
wre.i.got into the fole who ought not to have
tiean there, he thinks.
It te trite, that AntiuMasonry in this county and
every where else, was, at the start, and still is,
' , without distinction of former parties ;" and the
on ly parties yet are, the Masonic, composed of Ma
sons and their adherents, and the Democratic Anti.
Masonic, composed of the stern, untrammelled Re.
publicans of the country. The Anti• Mason ic pan
ty is composed of a majority of the Democrats of
the State. The Hist ticket for this county was,
for Assembly, B. GILBERT and B. FAnaarroce,
one Democrat and one Federalist:
The meeting to which the Compiler refers, was
got up under the advice and arrangement of the
present Member of Congress from this County,
and many other leading Democrats, in concert,
with' Mr. Stevens and others. The leading Dear

Dear Sir —The Compiler states, that Mr. Ste

laspgridiculed Mr. Kennedy for being a poor man."

Mr. Herbert's Reply.
GETTYSBURG, Oct. 3d, 1837..
Dear Sin—Your note of this day duly came to
hand. You state that you understood that I wan
present at the time that THADDEUS STEVENS, Esq.
delivered a political speech at Millerstown and in
which he is said [by the Compiler] to have objec
ted to Mr. Kennedy on the ground of his being a
poor man.
I have no hesitation in saying, THAT Mn.
STEVENS, IN THAT SPEECH, MADE NO RE—
FERENCE TO MR. KENNEDY'S PECU
NIARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Yours retspectfully,
Z. HERBERT,
"Stevens and Banks.""
0i -tinder the above head; the Compiler swears
to the lass and VOROZILIZS again reiterated about
the votes of Mr. Stevens respecting Banks! All
the protestations of that print can neither clear the
writer from our charge - I against him,nor convince
the people that his statements ought to be believed.
Those Van Buron men who called and examined
the Journals, and compared them with the Feri
a alma of the Compiler, would readily, no doubt,
give us certificates like Mr. Herbert's—but their
votes will tell better ON TUESDAY NEXT;
gilt the Decency!
0 t The smut machine, up street, talks about
"abuse," "personality," "private characters," &c.
It would seem that it is the only decent sheet "in
all creation," and- one in which "private iudi
viduala" were never alluded to! For instance, it
ia quite decent for its conductor, to drag the names
of honorable men, candidates for no office, before
the public as Danny, Jimmy, Bobby, &c. This,
in the Star, would be SIONSTROITS PERSONALITY

azyThe Van Buren Legislature last session ad
journed from the 23d December to the 3d of Jan

time, which amounted to nearly

They voted to investigate the manner In which
the charter of the U. States Bank was obtained,
which foolishness cost the People
500 Dollars!
Besides lost time and other unnecessary matters.
to a considerable amount !I
They raised a Committee to investigate the con
duct of the Canal Commissioners, which ended in
raising the Commissioners in the estimation of
every honest Pennsylvanian, and threw away
near
2,000 Dollars ! !
Besides all this, the last session of the Legisla
uro cost the people nearly
200,000 Dollars,
whilst the preceding session only cost abou
$137,000

$B,OOO for doing more work !
Fellow Cititens The above are but a few
items of the extravagance and wasteful expendi

Legistature,_at the session of 1836-7 ! Are you
willing that this wasteful system should be carried
on ? If so, elect the Masonic candidate; Robin•

If it is, would'nt he make a pretty Senator!
IComatimieated.
General Thomas C. Miller.
This veteran soldier appeared before the public
in the last Compiler, in a communication a full
half column in length I He complains bitterly of
the hard fate of every man who enters upon the
race for political preferment, in being jostled from
side to side in the crowd, and sometimes (as we
fear will be his case) crushed and trampled on, by
more successful rivals ! The concluding para
graph of this deeply interesting document, how
ever, attracted my particular attention, and will
serve for the subject of my succeeding remarks.
The General, in the Mad modest manner in the
world, speaks of the blameless life which, during
almost ha!f a century, he has led among us; and
professes his willingness to repair any act of in
justice which he may ever by mistake have corn
milted ! If any one wishes to take him at his
word, we advise him to call before the election !
His attachment to this his native county, too, is
honorably mentioned ! Now, the fact is, that his
endless variety of occupations here and elsewhere, i
make, (to quote the language of ono lately turned
politician,) "his own house only an occasional
stopping place;' and I believe no man in the
county is so frequently absent! So much for his
assertion, that he has never been absent only du
ring the late war, when, he says, he figured "on
the tented field" in defence of his country !
As Gen. Jackson used to say, '"with the frank
ness of a toldier," he offers his "whole life, public
and private, civil and military," to the scrutiny of
the world ! And in consequence of his very su
perior claims to the gratitude of his country, this
wAn-wortav SOLDIER, and his baud of followers
and supporters, confidently expects that he will
be permitted to recruit his health in the State
House at Harrrisburg next winter : for his consti-
tution has been seriously impaired by exposure on
"the tented field," and the numerous wounds ho
received in his campaign to Baltimore in 1814 ! !!
If ho should be disappointed in his expectations,
Adams County would justly be chargeable with.
the blackest ingratitude ! !
To enumerate the various ways in which he has,
as he says, "for nearly halfa century," labored for
the public good, (and was it not sometimes for his
own ?) would be a task far beyond my humble
ability ! But in order that the public may know
the character of the man who is intended for our
next Assemblyman, I will briefly recite a few pas
sages in,his history, both public and private, civil
and, above all, military
To show his enterprising spirit, I will mention
a few of his former and present occupations: For
instance, BR EIPECI II
LATES LAGELY IN LAND ; and
x i
sometime ago, he was engaged in the weaving bu-'
siness ; he is an extensive stage-owner, and ayear
or two since I heard he had commenced butcher::
ing ! He is an owner to coat mines and furnaces;
he is a farmer, brick-maker, Merchant . , and. Is or'
has been engaged in almost every occupation by
which he thought ho could relieve his fellow-eiet
, sena from the toils and cares of business I In
fact, he is the best LABOR-SAVING MA
CHINE in our county ! I lately heard that he
and another person, who possesses an equally en
viable reputation for being "Jack of all trades,"
have formed and are now ruminating over the
magnanimous project of carrying on ALL rat
TILADES which are the employment of the inhab
itants of Gettysburg and thus give them an op
portunity of emigrating to that "land flowing with
milk and honey," the far west !!
He was once (USher(hr of the County, and I
imagine realized AS MUCH as any other fairly
could out of that qfficel4:ll
But the General's GREATEST ACHIEVE
MENT Is yet to be told—l mean that worrnsa-
PIM PRODUCTION, that MOST VALUABLE DOCU•
MENT, his
, Plats for a iv. States Bank,
which, strange to tell, Ilko many other brilliant
works of genius, has never yet attracted the atten
tion of Government 1 Some may have even for•
gotten all about it; but by hunting up an old
Compiler of the summer of 1836, they can be
gratified with a perusal of it. Like many other
unfortunate achievements of the human intellect,
It will moat probably be smouldering and forgot-
ten, until in a more enlightened age, some lucky
antiquarian shall discover it, half decayed and
nearly illegible with ""the mildews of time," shake
from it the dust of ages, and, publishing it to the
astonished world, will excite the greatest wonder
how so excellent a scheme could have escaped the
notice of our legislators ! ! !
It is wonderful with what Bq-complacency the
General animadverts on his military life! The
truth of the matter is, fellow-citizens, that during
the late war he went to Baltimore with the volun
teers from Gettysburg, because it would not have
been considered decent to stay at home! and he
never was in an action in his life if But now he can
doubtless tell,
"Of morlug accidents by flood and field j
"Of hair breadth 'napes P the imminent deadly
breach
"Of being taken by the insolent foe j" Ste. &c.
So much for the 141LITAIRY LITZ or this valiant
General, and his exploits ' , in the tented field !"
Such is Me man, who is to run In opposition to
our oxn and WELL-TRIED rnissn, THADDEUS
STEVENS, tho Orator and Statesman, the Cham
pion of. Education and author of the present Free.
School System, and who has brought to Adams
County the benefits of Internal Improvement,—
Can it be, that any one would hesitate to prefer
Mr. Stevens as a representative, to such a man as
General Miller—a r man not in the least &sin•
guished for intellectual or moral qualifications 1
but whose INIIATIABLE ArANICE attrattil the at•
tention of all who know him ! whose ruling pas
sion, TEE LOVE OF GOLD, instead of bacon/.
ing weaker with age, flourishes amidst grey hairs,
and gathers strength with impotency and
ties
Whatever Others may think, I have not so low
an opinion of the inhabitants of this district, as to
suppose that General Miller will have more votes
at this election than her had when ha run Cu the
same office two years ago.

From the Pittsburg Gazette,
Tremendous Defeat of the
Shin Plaster Party.
The manner in which we laid out the
Humbuggera yesterday is a caution, and
will be a caution to such folks, for one gen.
eration at least.
In the city of Pittsburg, including the
nth Ward, formerly Northern Liberties,
we have not left even a grease spot of Hum
buggery. Expunge is the word, and we
have effectually drawn blai•k lines around
the boys and across them too. Our only
fear is, that we may be accused of cruelty
in our treatment of our opponents.
In the East Ward we have carried our
whole:ticket by an average majority rather
above thirty. In the South Ward we laid
hem out as straight as a lathe, by a major
ity of seventy. In these two wards the
Humbuggers calculated upon a majority.
In the North Ward, Miller is elected by
a majority of eighty over Turbett. Last
year Turbot beat Miller. ,•
In the West Ward our tic -it 'elected
without opposition. Lost year thellumbug
gen carried the election in this ward.
In the Ffth Ward, formerly the North
ern Liberties, we have elected our whole
ticket, by an average majority of about
thirty five. This exceeds the expectation
of the most sanguine of our friends, as we
have never before succeeded in that distriot.
In Allegheny theta was no opposition to
Morrison, an Anti• Masonic Whig, as In
specter, and the Anti-Masonic candidates
for Assessor and Assietant Assessors were
all elected.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer: ,
as good beginning in the
County.
THE LOCO FOOO4 IN A MINORITY:
We annex all the returns of the election
for Inspectors of the county of Philadelphia,
with the exception of two small townships.,
Byberry and Moreland, which cannot poa.
sibly affect the result, and which, in all prolv
abilityf have balanced each other, _Jlt will
be seen that according to the aggregate
'vote, the Loco Focos are in a minority of
twentrone vele:, and this too t in townships
where last year their majority was about
three hundred! The gaiu for our friends
it decided indeed; and should a ;tinnier
change be made manifest throughout the
whole county; oa the trAcolid Tneadny in
Optober; our ikket will be elected by a iti;
tiTylient majority. -
Iti Lower Dublin, although a few votes
were polled, there was no contest; the In-
Spector having agreed to divide the Judges
and Clerks betweeh the two parties. In
North Penn, our friends did not think it
worth while to bring forward a candidate,
and so in uncorporated Northern Liberties.
But in order that there may be no quibbling,
we have given the whole of the votes polled
in . those townships to our opponents, and yet
it will be seen, we have the aggregate ma.
jority. Last year our majority in German
town was but two votes. This year it is
1441 Last year, the Loco Focos carried
every thing before them in Passyiink. This
year they have been signally defeated 1 In
short, the prospect is full of encouragement.
The Democrats of the County of Philadel
phia are not yet' prepared to become mere
hewers of wood and drawers of water, for
the Loco Focos, as will be rendered fully
apparent on the second Tuesday of October.
