Great Democratic .Inti•J7a
sonic County &Meeting.
In pursuance of the call of the County Commit
tee, the Democratic Anti-Maions of Adams county
assembled in County Meeting, in the Court House,
in Gettysburg. on Monday the 23d of April inst.,
""to take into consideration measures to secure the
triumphant reelection of the Fanner Governor over
his Masonic aristocratic competitor, D. R. Porter."
On motion of Col. M, C. Clarkson, the follow
ing officers were appointed :
AMOS McGINLEY, Esq.

GEORGE HARTZELL, jr.
Capt. WILLIAM JONES,
JOHN MILEY, Esq.
ROBERT McCREARY.
JOHN G. MORNINGSTAR,
SAMUEL DURBORROW,
JOHN A. McKESSON,
* SAMUEL SADLER.
On motion of D. M. Smyser, Esq., a committee
of fourteen was appointed to draft resolutions ex
pressive of the sense of the meeting;—Daniel M.
Smyser, Req., Joseph Hunter, Capt. James Bell,
John Donaldson, Dr. George L. Fauss, Eli Co
ver, James Renshaw,.Esq., Jesse D. Newman, J.
Cunningham, Esq., James McElwee, Esq., John
L. Gubernator, Esq., James McSherry, Esq.,
Peter Diehl, and John 'trough, Esq. composed

On motion of James Dobbin, Esq. a committee
of three was appointed to invite C. B. Pasnoss,
Esq. to address the meeting—the committee were
James Dobbin, Esq., Joseph Baugher, Esq., and
H. J. Schreiner.
Mr. Pisrrnose appeared and addressed the mee
ting for. some time ably and eloquently. JACOB
CABBATT, Esq. followed Mr. P. in a few able and
appropriate remarks; after which,
Mr. Smyser, from the committee appointed to
draft resolutions, submitted the , following—which
were unanimously adopted:-
-. WIIHREAS, the period when a chief ma
gistrate of Pennsylvania is again to be cho
sen by the people, under circumstances in•
vesting the occasion with peculiar interest
to*the people of this State, is at hand: And,
WHEREAS, it is in entire consonance with
the principles of a free government, and the
usages of Democracy for the people,in their
primary assemblies, to express opinions and
devise modes of action, in reference to pub
lic men and maims; and believing that
the exercise of this right is especially called
for at our hands at the present crisis, we
tiave accordingly met this day, to give ex
pression to the sentiments, views and feel
rags of the people of Adams County in rela
tion thereto; Therefore
' Resolved, Tbat the firm and consistent
zeal and devotedness, with which Governor
RITN ER has on all occasions sustained and
promoted the honor, interests and rights of
the State against the assaults of internal as
well as external foes—dictation on the part
of the General Government and rival jeal
ousy, entitles him to the gratitude of Penn
sylvanians, and the admiration of the whole
world.
Resolved, That it is owing to his wisdom,
firmness and integrity that we owe the grati
fying fact that Pennsylvania, has suffered
less than any other State in the Union in
the general overthrow of the credit, indus
try and prosperity of the country; a pros.
parity, until assailed by the rude hands of
the demagogues of Van Burenism and Ma
sonry, without example.
Resolved, That the introduction of order
and economy into the management of the
public wOrks of the State—the creation of
now sodiees of revenue not only without ad
ding to, but attended by an actual reduction
of the public burthens, as witness the repeal
of the State tax OA personal property, under
Lis administration, a tax only rendered no.
cessary by the corruption and profligacy of
preceding administrations—his steady ad
herence to the principle of completing the
main lines on the publfc works as speedily
as possible, so as to render them profitable
to the State, without embarking in any new
works or lateral extensions, and without ad
ding to the State debt, but at the same time
making sure provision for its ultimate re•
doniption—his refusal to sanction the MlTl
moth Improvement MR of 1837, passed by
a Van Buren Legislature, which, if not pre
vented from becoming a law by him, would
have ultimately , added 40,000,000 of dollars
to our State debt—fully 'realize the expec
tationeand redeem the pledges under which
he was elected.
- Resolved, That the pleasing fact that the
tolls on our public works have gone on stead
ily increasing during the last fiscal year,
whilst those of New York and every other
State were more or less impaired by the
good of ruin poured upon the lai.d, by the
reseal administration of the United States
tke liberal aid which Pennsylvania has,
through 'his successful efforts to reform
berfitioncsir, been' enabled to extend to her
Scheid System and the - cause of Education,
without diverting one dollar from other ne
cessary appropriations, or adding one cent,
to the people's taxes—and the pecuniary re.
sonnies he boob a manner created to enable
Pismsylvenia to maintain her faith at home
and her',.honor and credit abroad; are the
natural , resuits of his honest and straight.
Antird policy, and firma a pleasing contrast
to the edicts of the crooked and profligate
Policy of former admmistratious.
; Reasised, That we will sustain his rev
PRESIDENT,
NECIISTAZIIIII,
election in opposition to the candidate of the
Lodge, David R. Porter, for the foregoing
reasons—and also because, unlike his 'hull
fling,equivocating and time serving compet'
ttor,his views and opinions on all public ques
tions have ever been frankly expressed and
fearlessly maintained—whilst of Mr. Porter
we know little more than that he voted a.
gainst instructing our Senators in Congress
to vote for a postponement of the Sub• Tre
asury Bill, and is, as far as he is committed
on any subject,committed to support the ru•
inous policy of the National Administration,
which has already wrought so much misery
and ruin.
Resolved, That the nomination of David
It. Porter, an adhering Mason and Deputy
Grand Master of the Lodge, can only be
viewed by us as a reckless and barefaced
contempt of the well known sentiments of a
majority of the people of this State, and the
result ofa desperate determination to restore
the supremacy of Free Masonry in the con
corns of this Commonwealth at all hazards.
Resolved, That his nomination by those
who arrogate to themselves the much abused
name of Democracy, in defiance of public
sentiment, must necessarily be the result of '
a conspiracy between them and the Lodge
to restore it to power and crush the necks
of our free born citizens again beneath its
blasphemous and unholy yoke. Having
nominated him under such circumstances,
they of course do so, and must sustain him
on Masonic grounds, and thus have fully
tendered to the people the issue between
Freedom and Slavery—between insolent,
high reaching Tyranny and the supremacy
of the Laws—in a word between Free Ma
senry and Anti Masonry.
Resolved, That we freely accept the issue.
rind will meet our antagonists on that ground,
and let the result determine between us and
the minions of the Lodge. We rejoice that
the mask is thrown off, and the monger un
veiled.
Resolved, That we prefer the practical,
straight forward good sense of our FA R.
MER GOVERNOR, to all the crooked
tricks and dandy airs of Lnwyer Porter,who
never worked on a farm in his life,but who.
if his neighbors in Huntingdon Courity,who
have known him all his life,tell truth,knows
infinitely more about raising and running
race horses and cock•fightrng, than of prac-
tical farming.
Resolved, That as Mr. Porter has always
farmed by deputy, it ie probable that if elec.
ted, he would also govern by Deputy. We
prefer a man who can do his work himself.
Resolved, That in our opinion, Gen. Per
er having been an Incumbent of office dur
ng the last 15 or 20 years, and during all
hat time in the receipt of its emoluments,
whereby as the Harrisburg Reporter boasts
he has cleared an estate of $40,000, has like
the other members of the "Royal family"
been sufficiently provided for at the public
expense, and at any rate is a queer candidate
to be presented as fresh from the ranks of
the people—however true it may be that he
is fresh from the Lodge.
Resolved, That Adams County will do
her duty next October, by giving a majority
in favor of the WASHINGTON FARM-
ER, that— will make the Loco Focos stare,
and teach them not again to insult the people
by presenting the sworn conspirators of
Masonry for their suffrages.
Resolved, That we approve of holding a
State Convention of the Young Men of Penn•
sylvania at Reading in Juno next; and be.
hewing that it, is important that said Conven•
Lion should be as full as possible,recommend
it to the - young men of this County to add 15
or more additional members to their delega
tion.
Resolved, That we recommend it to our
friends in the several townships,to have Corn-.
mittees of Vigilance appointed and organized
as soon as possible. This is the last despe
rate rally of the Lodge; they will make tre
mendous exertions and stop at nothing to
secure success,and it behoves all those there
fore who love the welfare of their native
State,and are opposed to the usurped dornin
ion of that blood stained institution, to be
early in the field, organized for action, and
ready to meet their active and subtle enemy
at every point.
Resolved, That the cordial thanks of the
citizens of this County are due to Messrs.
STEvnivs and KETTLEwEr.r, our represents.
tives, and to Messrs. PENROSE and CAssApr,
Senators from thisDistrict,lor their untiring
and successful exertions in promoting the
interests of the County and the State goner.

On motion, Resolved, That the proceed•
ings of this meeting be signed by the offi
cers and published in all the papers of the
county.

ARRIVAL OF A STEAMER FROM
EUROPE! SEVEN DAYS LA
TER FROM LONDON-SIX
DAYS LATER FROM
LIVERPOOL.
Last night our news schooner Eclipse
boarded the steamer Slaws, Lieutenant
RICHARD ROBERTS, R. N. Commander,
from Cork,whence she sailed on the 4th inst.
She has performed the voyage without any
accident, save a slight one which befel her
on coming in the Hook,where Phe grounded,
but will no doubt get off at high water.—
Since her departure from Cork,she has used
only fresh water in her boilers, having on
board Mr. Hall's condensing apparatus.
We have to thank her commander for
London journals to the 30th March, Liver

The differences between France and Hayti

The differences between Holland and Bel

Tranquillity was fully restored at Lisbon
Stilt Later from Europe
BY THE STEAM SHIP GREAT WESTERN.
By last night's Rail Road line we receiv.
ed the New York Courier and Gazette of
yesterday morning. They announce the
arrival of the steam ship Great Western, in
the short passage of fifteen days from Brie.
tol, bringing London and Liverpool papers
to the 6th, Bristol to the 7th, and Lloyd's
Lists to the 6th instant.
The "Great Western" registers 1604
tons; her length is 234 feet; her breadth from
out to out of the paddle boxes, 58 feet; her
engines are 450 horses power. She started
from Bristol with 870 tons of coal.

STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.
The great experiment of crossing the At
lantic by steam has been fairly tested, and
may be declared completely successful. We
announced yesterday morning the arrival of
the Sirius in eighteen days from Cork, and
we have now the pleasuie of recording the
arrival of the Great Western, under the
command of Lieut. HosKEN, of the Royal
Navy, in fifteen days from Bristol. The
excitement produced in our community by
these novel events, was general and intense.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon
when the Great Western passed the Bat
tery, in a style that displayed her to great
advantage, followed by the cheers of the
multitude which had collected to witness and
greet her approach.
What may be the ultimate fate of this
experiment—whether or not the expenses of
equipment and fuel will admit of the employ
ment of these vessels in the ordinary packet
service—we cannot pretend to form an opin
ion. But of the entire feasibility of the pas
sage of the Atlantic by steam—as far as re
gards safety, convenience, comfort, and de-
spatch—even in the roughest and most boat
terous wmither—the most sceptical must
now cease to doubt.
The coronation of the Queen is to take
place on the 25th of June next. A royal
proclamation has been issued to that effect.
The British revenue for the financial year
just closed has materially decreased. The
statements published show a diminution on
the year of £2,332,884, and of E4D2,420
on the last quarter. The same causes which
have operated on the revenue of the Federal
Government here, have had their effect on
England also, though not to as great an ex
tent.
An official despatch from Viscount Pal
merston to the British Minister at Wash-
ington, dated the 10th Nov. last, on the sub-
ject oft he North Eastern ligundary,hqs been
printed for the use of Pediment, and is now
published.- It is as conciliatory in its tone
as can be desired, and probably led to the
late proposition of the President to the State
of Maine, that a conventional line of division
should be adopted.
In Paris, the conversion of the five • per
cent. stocks to a stock bearing a Instror_rate
of interest, is the great subject of d;scussion.
There is nothing further in ntga
change of ministers.
We do not perceive any extras dinitry
feature in the London market. It is*ident,
however, that the public mind is in-a very
sensitive state on all subjects hating any
bearing on it.

The Queen of Portugal has given t hetloy

The New York Courier of Monday says:
—"The imports of Specie during the last
twodays,are R,200,000 by the George Wash
ington,from Liverpool; $5°,000 by the Pas
tore, from Vera Cruz; and $30.000 by the
Eliza, from St. Croix, with some other tri
fling importations. In addition to £200,.
000 in specie before noticed as being on
board the packet ship Mediator, from Lon.
don for N. York,in urance on £50,000 more
had been effected on the 20th ult. at London,
to be shipped by the same vessel."
Aelip from the St. Louis Bulletin, under
date of 19th instant, mentions that the late
disturbance the Osage section of the In.
dian territory has been easily and entirely
quelled.
A peculiarly distressing occurrence,attend.
ed with a fatal issue, is stated in the Louis.
villa Journal to have occured a few days ago
at the house of Thomas I. • Picket Esq. of
Mason county, Ky. Mr. P's mother-in-law,
Mrs. Campbell,was sitting alone in her room,
when her dress caught fire, and she was im
mediately enveloped in flames. Her daugh•
' ter, Miss Campbell, flew to her aid, but, in
her efforts to save her mother, the flames
were communicated to her own dress. Mr.
Pickett and young Mr. Campbell heard their
screams and hastened to the scene, bat the
sufferers were so shockingly burned that
they survived only a few hours. They were
preparing to go to Wisconsin, and had just
bidden adieu to their friends, when they
wore thus suddenly summoned to bid adieu
to the world.
OUT AM LABT.-At a recent etecti,:m.-
ing meeting in Maine, Mr. Justice Preble, a
Loco Foco orator, on the occasion, actually
"declared that if the affair of Mr. Cilley
were adroitly used, the party would derive
fur more advantage from his DEATH than
he had ever been able to gain for it IN MS
LIFE." Such is the vile and atrocious spirit
of Loco Focoism.
CARROLL COUNTY.—The aggregate of
valuation in this county is $4,747,000 Rate
of Tax per $lOO is 27 cents, and amount of
Levy $12,822. Expenditures 810,902 74.
NEW BONNET.—The New York Mirror
says-4.Th° Victoria bonnet is becoming the
leading fashion for the Spring. It ircom.
posed of trraw.colored and green silk, trim
med with rose-colored riband; the passion.
flower on the left side, and a simple wreath
of white roses on the crown."
It will be recollected that some years ago
the legislature appropriated the sum 0f520,•
000 to aid in constructing a turnpike road
from Gettysburg to Hagerstown—a work
rendered unnecessary by the railroad now
being made between the same points. A.
resolution was, therefore, at the session just
terminated, introduced into the Legislature,
and passed through the House of Represen
tatives,transferriong this appropriation from
the turnpike, with the consent of the per
sons interested in that work, to the Wrights
ville. York and Gettysburg Rail road Coin•
pang, coupled with a specific provision that
the money should be applied to the payment
of damages sustained by the farmers of the
valley, in consequence of the location of the
railroad through their lands.—York Rep.
Triz THAMES TUNNEL.—This important
undertaking has again been cleared of water,
and on a recent occasion Mr. Brunel enter
ed the shield, and found every thing perfect;
the late irruption of the Thames not having
done any damage, the work will be soon
resumed.
The counterfeit two dollar bills of the Wash
ington County Saving's Institution are said
to be good imitations of the genuine ones.
The safest plan for those who are not cer
tain that they can distinguish the genuine
bills is, to refuse all of that denomination.
CAT SKusrmas.—ln London a new pro.
fession has sprung up—that of cat-skinners,
who seize by stealth, generally early in the
morning,every cat they can find in the streets
and skin it immediately, with great dexter.
ity, and generally without the trouble of first
killing the animals.
DisruEssiNo.—The house of Mr. McGra
dy,West Milford, Passaic county,N. J. was
destroyed by 'fire on the 6th inst. and three
of his children perished in the flames. The
oldest was about six years ofage; the young
est an infant in the cradle.
SMALL Pox AMONG! TOE INDIANEI.—The
Green Bay Democrat says, that "the small
pox is raging to a considerable extent a.
inong the Menomonee Indians. Between
40 and 50 huve died within the last four
weeks. Their Condition is said to be mis
erable in the extreme:"
.I?lr.' Stevens.
a:7411 the House of Representatives on Monday
16th, the bill to prohibit Hawkers and Pedlars
from following their business in this state, being
under consideration; •
Mr. -STEVENS addressed the House
with great earnestness in opposition to the
hill. He denounced it as oppressive ant'
tyrannical, calculated to make odious dis
tinctions between difFerent classes of our
citizens. It was to operate in favor of the
local merchant against the pourer man,who
was unable to furnish a large store, but was
compelled by poverty to start in a humble
way, and carry his goods upon his back or
haul them in a wagon. The gentleman
from Bedford (Mr. M l Ezwice,) and the gen
tleman from Union,(Mr. Ymitaicit,) alledg
ed that pedlars were generally loreigrwrs,
either Irish or German—that they were
guilty of all manner of crimes—that they
pass counterfeit money and plunder the peo
ple. This, said Mr. Stevens,is a war upon
foreigners, and of the same character with
the attack made upon them by a distinguish
ed •e'ember of the same party,(the Van Bu
ran Porter Party) in the Convention to a
mend the Constitution, where he proposed
to prohibit naturalized foreigners from vat
ing; and thus put them upon the same level
with negroes. There may be, said Mr.
S., bad men among pedlars, but they are no
worse for being adopted instead of native
citiiiins. He knew and had heard of many
men who started in life as pedlars, who came
to be moat respectable merchants, elevated
patriots, and intelligent statesmen. It would
be time enough to make war upon foriegners
when they came to be enemies of the coun
try, as a body of men. But he would never
consent to impose tyrannical laws upon ped
lars, because they happen not to he born in
Pennsylvania. Let this be a land of freedom
—open alike to all freemen!
The bill was defitated.
The bill granting aid to Dickinson Col
lege being under consideration,
Mr. HOPKINS moved to amend, by ad.
ding a section making an appropriation of
85,000 to bridges over certain streams in
Washington county.
M r. STEVENS opposed the amendment,
on the ground that it was calculated to defea
the bill.
-
Mr. M'ELWEE said he would go for Mr.
Hopkins' amendment, and then go against
the whole bill. Ho was OPPOSED to grant
ine aid to Dickinson college. It was sec
tarian, and had received large sums already.
Mr. STEVENS said, he was in favor of
the appropriation to the College, as it was
merely giving to that institution an equivalent
for what they would be entitled to under the
general college laws: and which would be of
great service to them, as they had contracted
debts to that amount in erecting buildings.—
This institution was not,ae had been alleged,
sectarian. It was to be sure, under the pat
ronage ofa particular religious denomination
of Christians,- as every literary institution
must be,or it would not flourish. It was pa.
tronized by the. Methodist stocioty.a.olectwho
had done more for the cause of religion and
morality than most others. He would not
inquire into the orthodoxy of creeds, but
Methodists, by their fervid and familiar
preaching, bring home at least the morality
of religion, to those who are never approach.
ed by others; they were, if he might be al.
lowed the expression, the Democracy of
Christians. He hoped the amendment of
the gentleman from Washington, (Mr. Hop.
limo might not succeed, as that would
compel him, and many others, to vote
against the whole, and thus the bill would
fail. Such, perhaps, was the design.
n noticing the adjournment of the Legis•
attire of Pennsylvania, without the_ passage
of any 'Anti-Bank' law,the Richmond Whig
says: ."01,1 Conestag,a' has too much sense
to war upon her vital interests."
The Loco Foco Reporter, published at
the seat of Government in Pennsylvania, is
not willing to wait until a re-adjustment of
business shall bring about a proper time for
resumption, nor to abide by the decision of
the lute Bank Convention, but recommends
to the people to hold meetings throughout
that State, and by resolutions, agitation,the
"force of pablic opinion," &c., tocomnel the
Banks in Pennsylvania to resume in May.
We should think the Anti-Bank hobby in
some danger of being ridden to death by the
pat, iotic demagogues and Loco Focus of the
country—though in Pennsylvania it must be
thought able to limp through another heat,
or the Reporter would be the last to mount
it. That print, like its venerable co-adjutor
at Richmond, has an instinctive abhorrence
of minorities, and it would be difficult to
imagine a hobby that in would not ride, to
get out oft heir way.—Baltimore Patriot.
Co:snort Sem°Ls.—lt appears from the
able and interesting report,recently publish.
ed, of Mr. BURROWS, Secretary of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania,and superintend
ent of the public schools of that State, that
in the districts which have adopted theschool
law, the number of scholars has increased
from 80,000 to 182,355. The whole num
her ofchildren and youths,from 5 to 15,with- •
in these districts, is estimated at about 200.-
000: So that by the healthful operation of
the existing common school system,nine out
of ten, of the persona of suitable age within
the districts adopting it, are already reaping
the benefits of that system. The most libe
ral appropriations have been made, one way
and another, by the State authorities,in sup
port of this great system of public tnstruc•
tion; and we may say that there is no longer
any relation between cause and effect, if the
returns for this investment of capital, in the
character of the State and in the intelligence
of her population, shall not also be on the
most liberal scale. The system when fully
carried out in every school district of the
State, looks to, and provides for an expendi
ture, for the purposes of edecation, greater
than now exists in any State of the Union.
And the expenditure is so operative in the
work of instruction that the cost of tuition,
for each scholar, does not exceed 374 cents
a month. Thus deporting herself in the
great cause of education s and having already
invested not less than twenty four millions
of dollars in her works of internal improve.
ment,it cannot he denied 11 at Pennsylvania,
in regard to her efforts both on inalleA
mind, sets a noble example to her sister
States.—Baltimore Patriot.
PROMISSORY NOTES.—A correspondent
who uses the signature of "T," says that an
attestation ofa promissory note does not ex
cept it from the statute of limitations, and
presumes that our mistake arose from recol
lection of cases in which a note had been
sealed; a sealed note being a mere single
bill, and like any other specially or sealed
instrument for payment of money, presumed
to be paid after a laps nl2O sears. T. is
right in his legal position, for in l'ennsylva.;
nin, an attestation of a note does not except
it from the statue. Our mistake arose from
recollection of the uniform practice under
the statute of Massachusetts, of 178fi, chap
ter 52, the statute of limitations us adopted
in that State, by which an attestation does
except a promissory note.—Phil. Ledger.
NEW YORK INTERNAL lIIIPROVEMENTO.
—Among the appropriations for Internal
lmprovementsonade by the New York legis

It was the prevailing opinion at Toronto,
on Wednesday last, that there would be no
farther executions except perhaps of General
Theller, and opiniotis were about equally
divided, as to the fate of that individual, be 7 _
tween death and banishment.
Mr. John G. Parker had pleaded guilty,
and thrown himself Upon the court for reeky;
it is feared by his friends, that he will be
among those who will be banished to New

from the 'passenger lines.—Spy.
DESTRUCTIVE STORM.—The Storm of
Saturday afternoon last, so far as we have
heard, has been very destructive in its ef
fects, especially to the east and norlh•coet
of the Borough. A very large amount of
fencing in the country has been prostrated;
and a number of barns and other buildings
unroofed. The most general destruction,
however, we have heard of, was on the farm
of COI. CAMPMILL, near town. Every bull.
ding, except his dwelling, was prostrated,
such as barn, corn crib, carriage house, dic.
&c. destroying a carriage, wagon, sleigh,
and, indeed, every thing,sbout the prmises
except a windmill. A number of large apple.
trees were torn up by the root. His horses
and cattle were fortunately not an the barn
at the time. The wind, from the accounts
given us, blew indeed a per&et hurricane.

The Great Meeting.
al -In giving place to the proceedings, we again
refer to the meeting of the Democratic Anti-Ma
sons of old Adams on the 23d ult. It was every
thing that the friends of their country and the prin
ciples of Anti-Masonry could wish. Seldom, in
deed, has a public meeting, assembled for political
purposes, been equally numerous, respectable and
imposing. There was nb vain pqrade—no bom
bastic vapouring—no empty and frothy manifesta
tions of • pseudo patriotism, the offspring of fac
tious feeling and party zeal. But the whole char
acter of the proceedings—even the air and counte
nances of those present, were stamped with a sol
emn and awful sense of the serious responsibilities
under which they were acting, and the dread reali
ty_ of the crisis to meet which they had been sum
'monad together. The Merchant, tottering on the
brink of the gulf in which, by a ruinous and mad
policy, the credit system of the country is sought
to be plunged—the Manufacturer, trembling on the
verge of the same common ruin—the hard-handed
and industrious Mechanic, whose sources of em
ployment our anti-National Administration seeks
to dry up—and the Farmer, partaking deeply in
the same common interest—all were there; and
with that grave air and serious countenance which
a deep sense of present and threatening evil is
calculated to impress. All seemed fully alive to
the' fact, that in Pennsylvania the last scene of
that vindictive warfare so long waged by the Loco
Foco party against the libeities and the interests
of the country, is to bo enacted—the last battle to
be fought—the last and crowning vlctary. 4 tO be
achieved; and that, as a last and desperate resource
to avert their overthrow, the reckless partizans of
misrule and disorganization have evoked the slum
*tering fiend of Masonry from his lair, to aid and
support their falling and sinking causal Every
one seemed to feel and to know that the forth-com
ing contest in this State in October next, if the
last,would also be the most desperate and determin
ed on the part of our vengeful foes; and that they
were therefore called upon to enter the field in
alike spirit of determination.
Pennsylvania is the chosen battle-field where
this long warfare is to bo brought to, we trust, a
final close. Out-work after out-work of the enemy
has fallen. New York is ours; Connecticut has
fallen; Ohio is lost, and now the enemy has made
their last, desperate,hopeless rally in the Key-Stone
State. Here, with the bloody flag of Masonry un
furled and waving over their heads like the black
ensign of piracy over the out-lowed of the earth,
they have taken their stand, and under it they
seem resolved to conquer or perish! The issue of
such a contest cannot, for a moment, be doubtful;
nor To Emmet IT, the Champions of Freedom
must gird up their loins and task their energies
unshrinkingly.
That such was thu feeling impressed on the meet
ing, the character of the proceedings bears witness.
The resolutions bear the very spirit of energy and
determination; and the masterly and eloquent ad
dresses of Messrs. PENIIMIS and CABSATT were
listened to by the crowded throng with breathless
interest. Old Adams is thoroughly aroused; and
our friends abroad may rest assured that she will
do her duty, and gyve a majority of at least
1,000 rotes
to the FAnarsn GOVIIIIOII over his Masonic com
petitor, LAWYER Porter—or, as the Loco Foco I
organ in this place has it, David RITTEN
HOUSE Porter! Again we say,
Old Adams :rill do her duty!
Early Action.
azrWe deem the subject of one of the resolu
tions adopted by the meeting on the 23d ult. of so
much importance that we cannot forbear directing
the attention of our friends particularly to it. WI
refer to the one which recommends an immeliate
organization of Me several townships by. Me ap
pointment of Committees of Vigilance, tte.
We cannot be too early in the Geld. Our op-
ponents are there already; not °pima., Indeed—
but busily at work in their usual mode; secretly
and underhandedly: a very convenient method,
which possesses two advantages—lat. Their mis.
representations and falsehoods are not thereby
brought to the ordeal of investigation and exposure;
and, secondly, they elude responsibility where st,-
.posure does take place: for it is a maxim as old is
the world itself, that a detected he is whet jurists
call a isnullius jilius"—the eon of nobody! Albe
it,- we would by no means be,underatood as recom
mending an imitation of this honorable policy; but
merely that they should bo on the alert to detect
and expose it-aud, more especially, prepared to
diffuse correct intelligence and Information among
the people. Thia ,is all the people•want to act as
correctly as they always act honestly.
Again we say to our friends, organize early—at
once. Appoint your Committees of Vigilance,and
• call meetings in every Town and District; and let
the advocates of Masonry and Loco Focoism there
appear, if they have the hardihood, and defend
their pernicious doctrines. Let them do so openly
and publicly" and (0-ortivzz and runziczy
THEY WILL BE ME lI.CD We throw down
the gauntlet; will they take it up? We shall see.

VICTORY!!
Baltimore Redeemed!—lln
precedented Triumph!
A WHIG MAJORITY Or 862
la'An election.was held on Wednesday
lust for a Member of Congress in the place
of Mr. M'Kiin,deceased. It was warmly con
tested, resulted in the election of Joel( P.
KENNEDY by a majority of 802 votes over
the Loco Foco candidate! The Ba ltimore
Chronicle says— •
4.lliltimore.takes the proudest place amon g
the %V hig cities of the Union. She has torn
down the black and piratical flag of Loco
focuism, and planted upon her ramparts die
pure ensign of Freedom, every filament of
whose ample folds is bright and radiant with
the electric glow of Liberty."
"The result of this election' not only de.
termines the sense of the people of this Dis.
trict in regard to the Sub-Treasury Rill, but
must be taken as furnishing incontestible
evidence of their approval of the Registry
law, the expediencY and propriety of which,
they persisted in making 'an element ( f the
contest. We have routed them upon this
and all other points at issue and we are now
prepared logo forward,in the full confidence
of our strength, to other contests and other
victories."
The Chronicle further states—
After the announcement of the result of
the election on Wednesday night the Whigs
who had assembled in front of the Chronicle
office, to the number, perhaps, of five thou
sand, formed in procession under the orders
of Gen. S. C. Leakin, as Chief Marshall,
for the purpose of proceeding to the resi
dence of John P. Kennedy, Esq., the mem
ber elect. They passed up Fayette street
to Monument Square, whore they halted in
front of the dwelling of Reverdy Johnson,
Esq., who in return for the cheers of the
crowd,made them an excellent and eloquent
speech. They then proceeded to Mr. Ken
nedy's where they were addressed by that
gentleman and by Mr. John Barney,Col. E.
L. Finley, Mr. John Kettlewell, and Mr.
eitts. After leaygig Mr. Kennedy's, they
marched to the Eutaw House,where a num
ber of distinguished gentlemen addressed
them,
amongst - whom we recollect Messrs.
Lee, Pitts, Hoffinan and Wallis.
Nothing could exceed the hilarity, good
feeling and universal rejoicing which pre
vailed ev erywhere , throughout the city The
Willis; whilst indulging their own feelings,
carefully refrained from any act calculated
to wound the feelings of their opponents.
Among the passengers in the packet ship
Buektindy, which sailed from New York
