I gave no authority for such use of my name,

by publishing this request that my name
may be stricken from that committee; as I

Ho doet go that figure no how the Porter

There will not be as much porter left in this

1 1 Now the State stands big'ier in her credit
than at any former period. She has even
but partially felt the withering tempest
brought upon the country by Jackson and
Van Buren, which has dealt out with a ter
rible hand,its blighting influences over other
sections of the country. Her state debt is
not incrensed,but her revenue is. Her Banks
are solvent; and with spirits unbroken and
unsubdued by the disasters of the times.
The people are satisfied with Joseph Ra
iler. They would not exchange him fbr
Porter and 10 millions of Van Buren Trea
sury Shin•plaster.4, to boot. They will re•
elect him by a majority so.great as to show
the futility of successful opposition. Mark
the prediction, ye Van Buren Loco•foco
Agrarian leaders, and prepare to "govern
yourselves accordingly."
(We cut the following paragraph from the
Perry Forester. The Democrat is the Porter organ.
The editor of the Democrat, in his last
paper, says that in making a, tour through
the county last week; he "made it a point to
inquire on all occasions - how many men that
voted either for Wolf or Muhlonberg had
'changed and would vote for Rimer, and
could not discovera single one." 'A friend
who saw hiM in Millerstown informs us that'
while the editor was there, he was, very
particular to inquire who kept the best li
quor,and still more particular to get into the
merits of a sufficient quantity to muddle his
',tains, (if he has anv,)and 'instead? his ner
ves. Our friend beltvee that had the sapient
editor seen Rimer and Porter together he•
fore him, be could not have distinguished
one from the other.

the opinion of some, he could not make a

Now he is regarded by friend and foe as a

even the bitterness of party,and often enable
him to triumph against fearful odds.
Then his enemies treated him as imbecile;
as calculated to be used by others, against
his own judgment.

change their tone, and seek other weapons
of witriaro. He is respected by friend, and
feared by foe, for his stern undintlexilde ad.

Now David R. Porter belongs to the same
school of politicians with the predecessor of

Mono POLITICAL RATTY O.—Tht, hist
Harrisburg Reporter contains a note from
Mr. R ntLEY,t he Van Buren member of Con
gress from the Dauphin and Lebanon dis
trict, in which it is stated that his "health
and other circumstances" induce M r. R. to
decline a re•nomination. Dr- REILEY was
elected in the fall of 1826. At the subse
quent general election in 1837. the district
which he represents gave a whig majority
of more than 500! The Doctor, who is a
highly respectable physician, and not want•
ing in shrewdness,knows very well that 500
Whig majority last year, is symptomatic of
the course of events at the next election for
members of Congress,w hich takes place this
fall. Hence neither "health" nor other cir
cumstances leave the worthy Doctor any
taste for a re nomination. It is -wonderful
what a disrelish for office—that is, for the
office which is the award of popular suf.
frage—is prevalent about these days among
the ranks of the faithful! It is one of the
signs of the limes.—Baltimore Patriot.
CT - LOOK HERE! POOR. MATTY!
We perceive, through a paragraph in the
Richmond Enquirer, that a Van Buren cor
respondent of that nutter has suggested the
possible necessity of starting some other par
ty candidate for the Presidency, in lieu of
Mr. Van Buren himself. Such a course will
present a curious problem for the party me•
taphysicians, the solution of which will de.
termine whether the party abandons Mr.
VAN Binty.lv because he is not strongenough
to sustain his principles, or because his prin
ciples are not strinig enough' to sustain him.
The suggestion of such au alternative, how
ever, is.a significant one, and reminds us of
a shrewd saying of our late esteemed and
sincerely lamented friend DAVID CROCKETT.

Our city is in a glee again. The revel
of the Specie Cirrular,arid the letter of Mr.
illooLE to Mr. A DAMS, have given joy to tl.e
business circles. That part of the article in
the National Gazette which accedes to the
proposition of our Board of Trade to catch
lish a Branch of the Pennsylvania Bank here
is particularly important, for our capitalists
had pretty much given over that idea, not
liking to undertake the experiment. Our
merchants hope that the Pennsylvania insti
tution, with a big branch here,may do some
thing to alleviate the horrible rates of the
exchanges, though, of course, they do not
exFect from a State institution what only a
United States institution can give. There
is, however, great joy in the streets. All
hearts are cheered again. The future looks
better. All stocks have felt the impulse,and
danced with joy all the morning. U. S.
Bank ran up to 123, and other stocks in pro
portion. Now Congress can do the Com
mercial Emporium much good by one
push . uplii the back track, why not go on,
and keep moving?
From BuENos AYRES to . April 7, we learn

plying between-Kingston and FiAckett.',t Lin

this is mere rumor only.
POSTSCRIPT.--There is really a jubilee in
the city. The Board of Trade have had on

vole on the repeal of the specitu circular.—

is off, their heads are up again! The logic

what is lint, and they never will exhibit the
extraordinary spectacle of ruining them
selves for the pleasure cif it.
The news from the Frontier of the destroy
ing of a British steamboat is all confirmed, •
you will see, by official papers in the Albany
Argus. There is the greatest reason to fear
that retaliation will take place forthwith.—
The President ought to sound United States

NEW YORK, June 6
The prime hero is becoming alarming a
gain. The movements in the House ()film
sub-Treasury bill, and the new Treasury
Circular, are working groat mischief. All
moneyed operations are again in suspense.
Many incipient contracts are stopped till
the end is known. The stock market con
tinues to fall. Doubt and fear have seized
the capitalists again. It does really seem
that the Federal Government uses its test
powers but to toy with the interests of the
People. Is there any hope of currying the
sub -Treasury? If not, why agitate it? why
alarming capitalists--the only men who can
infuse life now into the body politic, or stim
ulate the springs of action, and roll on the
cur of Enterprise? The laboring interest
of the country now are the sufferers. The
capitaliSt has got on land,- but where is the

A NEcnoTn.—ln the course of the late ses
sion of the legislature, application was made
for an act of incorporation for a theo'ogical
seminary, to bear the name of St. Charles
Barromeo, n divine who distinguished him
self in Italy by the beneficial exercise of
great talents. While the bill was before the
legislature, the name seemed to be a stum
bling block to many of the worthy members.
As Dr.B. of the Senate had shown himself a ;
friend of the bill, a member who had some
scruples, applied to that active legislator for I
information.
“Who is this Bar•romeo, for whom this
seminary is to be namcdV' asked he of the
Senator.
Now Dr. B. was well rend in civil and
political history, and could have perhaps
answered almost any question relatir•: to the

had never come within the line of his profes•

perceiving hat hesitation might lose a vote,
he said:
"Why—you know very well—Bar, you
recollect, means non—you read it in the Bi

"Oh yes," said the querist "it is so—we
have Bar Jonas for the son of Jonas."
"Well," said the Doctor, "this Bar-ro
meo was nn tllegilimato son of Romeo and
Juliet, whom you read about in Shakspeare
—they were not quite so clever as many
people think for."
"Oh that is it, is it?" exclaimed the quo•
riot with an air of protbund satisfaction.—
"There is no harm, t lien, in voting for the
bill." He did veto for it, and the bill was
carried.—U. S. Gazette.

of the Philadelphia Inquirer thus closes ono of his
letters from Reading:—
Having attended all the proceedings of
the Young Men's Convention from alpha to
omega, I take pleasure m saving that har
mony or nelson, firmness of purpose, elo
quence oflanguage,rind an enthusiastic spirit
distinguished them throughout. With sound,'
judgment and good taste, the question of the
Presidency was not touched upon. Hardly
n difference of opinion even prevailed—nt
least none of any importance; and the Mem
bers separated, mutually satisfied with each
other, and gratified and justly proud of the
results of their proceedings. Theso facts
arc worth recording, and worth remernh"r-
ing, too; for it is seldom indeed,that so large
a body of men can assemble, collected from
all quarters of a vast region of country—
and yet display ao laudable a spirit of union
and brotherly love.
Gratn Prospects.
•-•Tlie Reading Correspondent of i the Phila

count of the prospects of the Grain throughout
the State: •
One other little (lief I most mention,for it
is honorable to the manly and religious feel
ing of Pennsylvania. I allude to the gene.
rill report of the crops, as the members have
described them to appear in every section of
the Commonwealth. The earth is carpeted
with the richest verdure, the forests clothed
with magnificent foliage, the fruit trees pro
mise an unusual abundance,and the crops of
wheat, with every other kind of grain, never
looked more healthy and auspicious, early
in the month of June, than they do at the
present moment. These blessings are spo
ken of with words of thankfulness to the Giv
er of all Good; and 1 have heard gratitude
to our all-wise and beneficent Creator, ex
pressed by so many members of the 'oung
Men's Convention, for the blessings that are
now raining fatness upon the land. and dif
fusing joy amongst the people—that I feel
bound in justice and correct feeling to re
mark, that while some of our dearest politi
cal interests were teprebented, the santi•
meats of a warm and heartfelt religion have
by no means been forgotten.
The late extraordinary decisions McKin
ley in the U. S. Circuit Court fit' Mobile,
have induced debtors in Louisiana to avail
themselves of them in avoiding pavtnent of
their debts. The New Orleans Merchants'
l'ranscript save that in the case of a suit
brought by the (J S. Bank to recover the
amotintof a Bill of Exchange,exceptions have
been filed against the ability of the Bank to
plead, on the following grounds:
let. That the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania
has no legal corporate existence out of the
State of Pennfylvania•
2d. That it has forfeited its charter by
suspending specie payments,deal,ing in mer
chandise, and by issueing notes of a less de
nomination than ten dollars.
3d. That no State corporation has the
right, even through an agent, of making
contracts in a foreign State.
The defence thus sot up, it appears, had
excited no little astonishment and specula
tion at New Orleans—as well it might.

I,rin the 25th ult. after a short, but painful ill

ANDREW HEINTZELMA.N, Sen., of Franklin town

Mr. SMITH, for nearly half a century, professed the
religion of the Cross, and for a length of time served,
with great acceptance, as a Ruling Rider in the Pres
byterian Church in this place. By his death the
Church has been deprived of valuable counsel and sup
port; and society has been bereft of one of its greatest
ornaments. As a father, a t iced, a citizen,and a gen
tleman, he had but few equals; and ae a Christian,he
stood second to none in the place in which his lot was
cast. His mind was naturally strong and discrimina
ting; his biblical knowledge profound; and his piety
ardent, yet unostentatious. The subjvct of religion,
espec , ally for the last few years of his life, lay near.
est his heart. His delight appeared to be to dwell
upon the grace of God in Christ, by, which ruined ifian
was reinstated in the Divine favor. When contem
plating the great atoning sacrifice, his venerated coun
tenance invariably beamed with joy; and if ever a
cloud of grief overspread his brow, it was at the re
flection, that so few of our sinful race were interested
in that glorious provision. Our beloved friend was no
strangeofto afflictions, both relative and personal.—
Death had bereft him of one beloved child after an
other; his unerring hand had torn from his bosom the
partnere' his sorrows and hisjoys; protracted disease
had wasted away his own frame: and yet he rejoiced
in God—yet he toyed in the God of his salvation
And when the stern messenger came to take him
hetuco, he was patiently "waiting for the kingdom of
God;" and at thin summons of his Heavenly Father,he
submissively closed his eyes iu sleep,in which he will
not be disturbed until the trump of God shakes earth
and heaven, on the morning of the resurrection.
"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright —for
the end of that man is peace." [Sc NT.
