There are three things that recommend Mr. RITNER to the approbation and suffrages of the People of Pennsylvania. Ist He is a Farmer and rose by his own industry and economy. 2d, He is a German, and the German interest is large in this state. None but a German can properly understand, tip preciate,and promote it. 3d, Being a prac• tical man, who has made himself what he is by his industry, talents and prudence, he is opposed to speculators and speculating schemes, and in favor of sound practi r . a l citeslk characterize his administration. He is of necessity, and by the force of circumstances and education a Democrat—that is, his feel ings and his int:irests ate with the mass of the people. He has drove his team and his plough—he has grubbed, dug, harrowed, sowed and reaped—the horse stable. the cow stable, and barnyard are among his earli est recollections—so that he must, of neces sity, be not only a democrat, but a real gen uine, dirty-shirt democrat; one who has no pride but to do his duty to the people and and promote the great agricultural, menu facturing, and laboring, interest of the state- Now, how stands the case with Mr. Por ter? Has he either industry or economy to recommend him? On the contrary such was his early profligacy, that before he was thirty years ofage, he was involved by debts amounting, it is said, to over ten thousand dollars, and although he is now reputed to be rich, yet never a cent of it was the result of toil on his part. Ho never earned his bread by the sweat of his own brow—but every dollar that lie owns he got from the pubic treasury, or made by some slight of hand, (horse-racing for instance) that lie would not like to discover to the public. His friends say he owns fine horses and encour ages the breed—upon this foundation they build him up a Farmer. Save the mark! We would give the price of a mint julep to see Farmer Porter following the plough barefooted or with good tough stogies on: every pebble would make him wince—every stubborn stubble or stiff blade of grass would pierce his skin like lancets—and in less than an hour Farmer Porter would be laid up to dry, his feet blistered and torn from toe to heel, and his beautiful white countenance tanned as brown as an orange. What has plated harness,gilt stirrups,white gloves and kid slippers to do with farming,or what have they to do with democracy, or what have they to do with gond sense and economy? Nothing. So that David R. Porter can not be supported for Governor either as a Far mer, a Democrat, or a man of sense and eco nomical habits; while his competitor,Ritner, can be supported for each and all of these reasons combined. By the Court. Can the issue be doubtful, under such cir cumstances, in Pennsylvania, famed as she is for her industry and saurkraut, her abhor rence of dandy pride and her love of substan tial, honest, rough handed, big-fisted demo cracy? Can, we ask, the issue be doubtful? Certainly not. The Dutch Farmer, mount ed on his clumsy go•to-meeting horse, will come in, at the October heats three lengths ahead of the Horse-Jockey candidate, with all the blood and bottom and silk gloves and light riders, and hard whippers, amd sharp spurs he can find to back him. $360 00 or 390 00 17 00 2 00 15 00 1 25 "" 4 50 PORTER AND PRODIGALITY .—The votes of David R. Pot ter as Senator, chew him al wais in favor of extravagande and, useless waste of the public money.

He is an old rake, accustomed to high life—to do as he pleases, to tyranize over the poor wood-chopper and laborer—to speculate on their hard earn ings and not allow them more than half we ges for their work; and therefore he cannot appreciate the real value of money or any thing else, but thinks to make himself pop ular by advocating waste and extravagance. He was one of Gov. Wolf's old office holders, and detected Governor would un• doubiedly increase the State debt twenty millionsi°people iomy wish ofltf the heec o A nd_fruizality practised under Gov.

We ask our readers to give it a careful and candid exa ruination —and then ask them selves the question—"can such a man be worthy of our suffrages for the high and re sponsible office of Governor of this common. wealth?" When it is remembered that Por ter is reputed to be worth 40,000 dollars, which is the boast of his friends, the answer of the honest and intelligent Farmers and buisiness men of all classes may readily be conceived.' They will at once say that it is an insult to an intelligent community to offer them such a candidate! 'Phis whole transaction, from beginning to end, is disreMitable in the highest degree to Mr. Porter. but by far the most mysteri. ous end inexplicable part of it is the DIS• APPEARANCE FROM THE RE CORDS OF THE OFFICE, of "the sche dule ofhis property and list of his creditors." This schedule was once ihereovith the other records—now it is missing! David R• Por ter was himself Prothonotary some time of ter his insolvency. What is the inference naturally to be drawn from these facts?— We leave the question to bs answered by our readers.—Harrisburg intelligencer. A DEFAULTER.—The people of Pennsyl vania refused to elect William Findlay Gov ernor, because he was a public defaulter; that is, he had used the funds of the Com• monwealth. The question then arises, will the people of Penns) Ivania elect David R. Porter Governor when he is a private de faulter to a large amount! has taken the ben efit of the act; and although he is now worth $40,000 as his friends all boast, yet refuses to pay debts he contracted before his dis charge as an insolvent debtor.—Pa.

From Me Philadelphia Inquirer We invite attention to the important .res. olution adopted by the Canal Commission ers of Pennsylvania, inserted at the head of our columns of this morning. It will be seen that the Board have instructed the au perintendant of motive powers on the Colum bia 'and Philadelphia rail road, to cause two engines to be fitted to ihe use of anthracite coal, as soon as practicable, and to use an thracite coal for fuel therein, until otherwise directed. This is an important measure, and will if successful, as we doubt not it will be, constitute an important feature in the history of Pennsylvania policy. It will meet with universal approbation, and do more to wards the introduction and consumption of anthracite boa', one of the great mineral re- The Evidence. sources of Pennsylvania, than any measure that has been attempted for years. , We learn, that in order to afford the engineers ample time to prepare their plans and ape. cifications, the Canal Board have agreed to extend the time of letting as follows: The letting at Meadville will take place on Monday, 2d July. At Erie on the 13th July. On the west branch at Farrendsville July 23d. At Tunkhannock on the 31st of July. Ofthe •Wiconisco - Feeder at Halifax, on the Bth of August. Of the AllPghany feeder at Kittnning, on the Bth of August. Of the Gettysburg Extension at Waynes burg, on the 3d of September. The State tolls are already morn than half a million. The tolls received ibri the Pennsylvania Canals and Rail Roads, for a part of the present fiscal year, ending the 29th of May, amounted to $524,729 23; or upwards of half a million of Dollars, not• withstanding the canals have scarcely yet been 3 months in operation.

WASHINGTON, June 7,1838 A NEW TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT.— The [louse of Representatives has been for the two last days, in accordance with a pre vious special order, pretty industriously en gaged in the despatch of business concerning the Territories of the United States. A mong the bilk which have passed the House is one, which will doubtless become a law, (having previckisly passed the Senate,) for dividing the NV isconsin Territory,and el ect• ing out of it a new Territorial Government, to be called the Terri ory of lowA. The name, at least,is in good taste.[lntelligencer.

The writer is Superintendent of tne Alachua Mis sion on the Tallahassee District: "Dear Brother Capers—l am ruined!— While engaged in my labors in the Alachua mission, I received a letter bearing awful tidings. It informed me that the Indians had murdered my family! I set out for home, hoping that it might not prove as bad as the letter stated; but 0 my God, it is, iF not even worse! My precious children,Lorick,Pterce and Elizabeth, were killed and burned up In the house. My dear wife was shot, stabbed, and stamped, seemingly to death, in the house. But after the vretches went to pack up their plunder, she revived and crawled oft from the scene of death, to suffer a thousand deaths during the dreadful night which she spent alone by the side of a pond, bleeding at [bur bullet holes and more than Win dozen stabs three deep gashes to the boix on her head and three stabs through the ribs, be sides a number of smaller cuts and bruises She is yet living—and 0 help me to pray that she may still live My negroes lay dead . all about the yard and woods, and my every thing else burned to ashes.

T. D. PEURIFOY." From the Cherokee Country We learn, through the medium ofauthen tic publications in the Georgta Recorder of the bth instant, that Major General Scorr proceeded to carry into effect his orders to oblige the Cherokees, after the 23d ultimo, to evacuate the territory heretofore held by them within the limits of the State of Georgia. His measures met with no resis tance. On the 29th, he had under his con trol three thousand Indians; and, before this time, it is supposed that not a wandering Indian remains within the territory of Georgia. The manner in which this duty has been discharged by that distinguished General is praised for its kindness,humnnity, and freedom from violence. This informa tion is gratifying; for surely there is enough to appear to the public sympathy in the des• tiny of these original lords of the soil, with out adding to it unnecessary violence. We rejoice, for the sake of our fellow•citi• zens of Georgia as well as for that of the Indians, that, so far, all goes on as it does, with as little difficulty as could possibly have been hoped. The Georgians themselves appear to be sincerely gratified that it has so turned out; and the friends of the Indians, who cannot enter into all the feelings of the Georgians' and other Southerners on the, subject, will yet not less rejoice than they,' that th 9 policy of the Government does not end in blood.—Natiorial Intelligencer.

THE INDIANS OF THE UPPED MISSISSIPPI. —An agent (tithe Temperance Society in a journal rife late tour of the region ofthe Up per NI issapaippi, presents a picture of the pre sent condition of the Indian tribes in that quarter, which must deeply rouse the cotii . miseratiori of every benevolent man. From our own personal observation one /i yearriince, we would corroborate the, ass "rticin, , , that: were the world ransacked for :atkittreyn which should be concentrated a :percent& ed injustice, oppression, dro filth, arid degradation, one w point to the straggling Indian on the nks of the Up• per Mississippi, for the apte,ii extitiriplifica lion. There were some IWO or three hun dred of these st ragglers—Wionebagoes,chief ly, about Prairiedu men, women, and children, MHO/ of whom had scarcely the fragments ofa filthy blanket to hide their nakedness or screen them from the cold— strolling and straggering about in squads of from two to a half dozen each, begging for whiskey,or cold potatoes, or crusts of bread. One old female, doubtless turned of three. score and ten, half naked, was gathering up from the dirt and ashes about the boiler of the steamboat, a few pieces of dried applea that .had been dropped nnd trodden under foot, which, with her toothless guess, she attempted to masticate with all the eager. ness of a starving swine. Little children, from one to four years old, were crawling about in a state or nudity and almost starva tion, while their own mothers and fathers were staggering,and fighting, and swearing. It is a fact, that while these poor creatures cannot articulate a word of any thing else in English, the most awfully profane expres. sions will drop from their own lips in Eng lish, as fluently as if it had been their verna cular tongue. When the whites first settled in that neighborhood,the Indians raised coin and other provisions enough, not only for their own use, but also - for the tur•traders and settlers. Now they are altogether dependent for even the scanty subsistence, by which they are dragging out the remnant of a miserable life, upon the whites. And what has been the cause of so great a change in so few years in the circumstances and habits of a whole people? The answer is plain to every one at all acquainted with Indian history. It is the perfidy and avarice of the whites, and WHISKEY, WHISKEY, has been the all potent. agent by which it has been effected. By selling and giving them whiskey till they• become drunk, they are soon filched of the little annuities received from government, and then treated the rest of the yelr like so many dogs. As an illus. trillion of the feeling towards them, a 'nor chant at Prairiedu Chien expressed the very humane wish, that there might soon be an other Indian war, to kill them all oft. Side Scenes. jTho Washington correspondent of the Ne w York Courier and Enquirer gives the following re port of side scene* in the Muse of Representatives: "On Tuesday last Mr. Petriken and Mr. Cushing (better known as Mr. Previous Question) had some squabbling. They aro brethren of the same principle, and ought to live in love and unity. Petriken has the most eccentricity and Independence; Cush ing the most good humor, and I suspect the most dry Yankee wit. Petriken wears a long queiie. After the brush between the parties was over, Cushing enquired—"does not t he previous question cut op very thing?' Being answered in the affirmative, he very drily remarked—" Well, the first opportunity 1 have, I'll move the previous question oa Petrilein's cue, and cut that of." To-day Mr. Boon, of Indiana, opened the debate to behalf of the synaiters, and com menced by a brief allusion to his own en trance into life. Among other things, he remarked that at an early period he had moved with his wife and children into the western wilds,and that his nearest neighbor was an Indian. M r . E wi ng,oflndiana, followed. He re• marked that it was not his intention to give the House a history of bib life, but when ho did uniturtake it, he would give the whole, and not suppress a part. As to the fact of his colleague (Boon) having for his nearest neighbor un Indian, he did not think that ought to excite the sympathy of the House in favor of the squatters, until it was nscer. tained which had the worst of the association, the Indian or his colleague! [qr. IVQOl)l3l.lltlC.—The New• Hampshire Courier, It: uotiving the various tumors eat Gov.

Senate on l'uestlay by Mr. W F:IIST ER : A BILL, making. further provisions fur the col kctiors of the public revenues. Be it enacted, &c. That the operation of so much of the act of June 23d, 1936, en titled "An act to regulate the deposites el' °film public money," prohibits the receipts of the notes of bills of specie paying banks, which have issued since the 9th of March 1836, notes or hills of a less denomination than five dollars, be, and the same is hereby, suspended until further order of Congress. Sec. E Am/ he ie further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the Secretary of the Treasury to select and employ as deposito. ries of the public money, according to the provisio us of said act, any banking institu• tufts which may he established under the provisions of a law of the State in which it exists. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That it shalt he lawful for the Secretary of the Treasury hereafter to select and employ as depositories of the public money, according to the provisions, attend act, any bank which shall redeem its notes and bills on demand in specie, notwithstanding it may have stop. ped specie payments since the date of said act. See. 4. And be it further enacted, That the op..ration of the second section of the ,:ii‘CLof April 14, 1836, entitled "An act ma • kirti.oppropriations for the payment of Revo lutionary.And other pensioners of the United Sitlites for o year 1836," be, and the same is heroby,r . , uspendod until further order of• Congress. Mr. Clay'it opt "ion of adjourning Congress is expressed with ehjiraeteristie frankness in the fol lowing remarks,rOade in the Senate on Thursday— Congress dogs not, in my opinion, now truly represent the feelings or wishes of the country. 1 think we had better go home. wish you would, NI r. President,adjourn us. I will go with you as nigh to the Great Cros sings ns Ashland is. We are doing no good here. If we will all go home, and go to work, the products of our labor would con tribute more to the relief ofour country than any legislation emanating from us, situated as we are, is likely to do. I beg pardon.— One good thing has been done. I congratu• late you and the country upon thy( repeal,at last, of the odious Treasury Circular. It is the first backward movement, and I hope will be followed by others, towards a return to that high state of prosperity which we enjoyed at the commencement of a suc cession of disastrous experiments. But I expect no other good measure to be adopted at this session. Our misfortune is that we here stay months together, separated and isolated froni the People. We get into an atmosphere that is not common to the coun try—an official, Executive patronage, Sub- Treasury atmosphere. Let us, Mr. Presi dont, go home, and among the Peeple once more breathe some fresh and pure air. Our continuance here creates apprehensions in the country. The termination of the session would now be the greatest relief which we can give to the country Wl.y does the Senator from Alabama suffer his resolution. fixing the day of adjournment, to lie upon the table? 1 hope he will call it up. Let us pass it and go home.

Wo have never sneered at the name of Rittenhouse, but at the ba.o use to which it is endeavored to be applied by these who have no claim, in honesty, to it. Because,as is asserted by the Loco Focos, Porter's great-grand mother was named Rittenhouse, Its friends arc swearing that he is therefore a German, although of the pure Irish stock! -It won't do, thou "little wee spot"—you can't make a "good enough" Dutchman out of your Intim Lawyer, "no way you can fix it!" You might as well undertake to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! Porter .11eetiorg. (0 The Porierites had a small gathering a few evenings since at Loco Foco Head quarters in this place. Taking into consideration the exer tions and means used to obtain the attendance of persons, it was a complete failure! Out of the thirty or forty present, it is said about two-thirds were "beardless boys" who went to "see the fuh," and hear a •wee bit" of a Lawyer make a speech! And such "a speech," 0, ye Mile gods and big fishes!" It is said the great speaker took aim at a picture which he called “General David Rittenhouse Por ter,"—what a name!—and, being completely wad ded with o Toblition" and ..Rimer," peppered it severely—indeed, by the time he was done with it, it presented a mangled, ruined mass!

SmraosoN, a very poor man, with a large family, swears that he (himself) was compelled to take the benefit of the act through the loss of a large sum of money (POO) due him by this same David Rittenhouse Porter, WHO NOW BOASTS THAT HE IS WORTH FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!! Although Mr. Sturgeon has been reduced to beg gary, he is only one of the lung list of alike suf ferers—sufferers whose names would be given to the public, were it not that this honest candidate for the poor man's vote has, without doubt, wilful ly and unlawfully taken them out of the public calico over which he was unfortunately placed! If he is really so rich as he himself and friends boast, it would, in all honesty, be as little as be could do to go to poor Sturgeon and say, here is Your $700: take them and provide for your suf fering family. 'But no—it is not Porter's char acter to act the part of an honest man! And he should be spurned by every honest Pennsylvanian who Tins the pride of his State at heart. Such a tnan would, if elected, be a disgrace to the People and the State! Freemen ) Look at this! cci•We learn, from good authority, that the U nited States Government is importing into Penn sylvania large sums of money to operate on the Governor's election! Already,we understand that the U. S. office , holders are at their posts. The State is to be divided into districts, and each dis trict to be under the supervision of on office-holder or his pliant tool. Those persona are to leave their ordinary business, and attend the taverns, stores, public sales and other places, to 'electioneer fer Porter. as well as to offer largo bets on his election! By this rascally system they think to operate up on the free eons of Pennsylvania! How is it in our Borough and County. TwlcE, at least; lies the great Mogul—the Major-Domino of the Loco Foco Porter Sub-Treasury party, been on to Washington City; and since his return, we learn that the High Captain of his bottle-holders is to be seen, at all corners, ready to bet on Porter —not his own money, because he needs it all— but the money furnished at Washington! We would, then, earnestly caution the friend. not of Ritner in particular— but of Pennsylvan rights and Pennsylvania interests, to spurn such men—spurn such ungrateful and slavish creatures, as unfit to influence the highminded and honest yeomanry of the State. Desperate, indeed, must be the case ofthat party that would resort to such buss ends to obtain success.

Abolition. 3:The Loco Focos are endeavoring to create the belief that the Abolitionists are opposed to Van BLIFCCI. The Now York "Emancipator" is the leading organ of the Abolitionists. It is undoubt edly one of the ablest papers in the Union. Hear what it says:— "If he [HENRY CLAY] will but go to Sibe ria, that paradise of the whole earth, he may there exercise his office (as President) in rill its minutias—but if he stay here, MAR•riN VAN BURF.N BEFORE HENRY CLAY. " We quote the paragraph, not for the purpose of censuring the Abolitionists, but for the purpose of showing woo, in a certain event, wnuld be the Abolition candidate. Our Prospects. 0 ... Fr0m every pinion of the State we have the most cheering accounts. Every where we hear of many who voted against Mr. RITNER at the last election, declaring their determination to give the TRIED FARMER a hecirty support. All classes of men—all who dearly value the prosper ity of their great and growing State, see and feel it their interest to re-elect the present worthy and patriotic incumbent. Since the days of Sligo"; SN Y DER, Pennsylvania has at no time had such a firm, independent, persevering and discreet Gover nor. Under ..10..EP11 RiTrisu, Pennsylvania, like a well-managed Farm, has prospered and yielded ten-fold Her Public Works and other Improve ments are a benefit to the State and all concerned. The Revenue is increased a hundred per cent, or more. Indeed, every thing connected with the Administration of the State has been productive beyond anticipation. So well has Governor Rit ner—that man whom the Loco Foco Portcrites have denominated an "ignorant and illiterate Dutchman!"—conducted himself and managed the affairs of the Government, that many who heretofore opposed him, are flocking to the old Farmer's standard. They see that he has sense enough to know the right, and whilst knowing, approving and pursuing it at all hazards. He cares not for popularity; it is the interests of the State, and the welfare of his fellow-citizens, that ho has at heart. Such conduct is worthy of the German Farmer, and he will find that the Farmers, Me chanics, Merchants and all dependent upon their own exertions for wealth and prosperity, will not only appreciate it, but rally, at the proper time, to his support. To put the whole in a nut-shell, we shall not be surprised if JOREPII RITNF.II is nt- ELECTED GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA BY UPWARDS OF 20.000 VOTES! "General' , .oorter. rryWe have lately obscrvinl that the Loco Focos have been calling their candidate for the office of Governor, "General David R. Porter!" As we were not aware that he had any claims upon his fellow-citizens for services rendered them in a' military capacity, we should like to know when and where he served his country as a Soldier? His friends, no doubt, can tell; and we shall be glad to know thut he did so, in order that we find sonic hook to hang a good opinion of him upon—for, from his conduct in civil affairs, (though ssoc: ING A BLACK WOMAN, and DEFIIAUDISO HIS CIIgT ITORS, by •taking the benefit," are rather uncivil affairs!) we have been unable to discover a single ground for a good opinion to stand upon. It may be that some may look upon the fact of CHEAT] NO HIS crimirrons as indicative of talents that would qualify him to govern the Commonwealth; but we are sure that honest and intelligent men will think, that he who could not manage his own affairs, WILL STILL 116 LESS AULE TO MANAGE THE AF FAIRS OF THE STATE; and that he who would not stop to cheat his friends and neighbors, WILL NOT HESITATE TO SWINDLE THE COMMONWEALTH! Let the People ponder upon these things, and judge between the HONEST FARMER, JOSEPII RITNLII, and THE INSOLVENT LA WY4R AND IRON MASTER, DAVID R. POILTEII, lately dubbed "General." cO-Sir Adam of the York Gazette is informed that we can never begin to learn to "lie" like him, nor can «p consent to "let Porter alone," no way he can fix it, until after the second Tuesday of October next. It would then be unkind to follow him to his tomb. Bicknell's (Philadelphia) Reporter of Tues day says: "we give it as our deliberate opin ion—an opinion founded upon conv-ersatiobs held last week with the officers of several of the Philadelphia banks—that should Mr. Woodbery's recent circular continue in force —should the sub-Treasury bill become a law, or should Congress rise without adopting a measure of relief, no general resumption will take place earlier than January.
