We invite the attention of our readers to the following statement which emanated from the Loco Focos at flarrisbarg, and is now going the rounds of the Federal Porter papers. - From Me Lytoming Gazette. "FACTS FOR TtlE P t' LE RI TN ER'S REFORMS! Increase of the State Debt in SIX YEARS under Gov. WOLF'S Adimiustration: Daily, $8,329 Monthly, 249,t'70 Yearly, _ 2,9 ,45U Increase of the State Debt in THREE YEARS under Guy.

You who are against: A MONSTROUS STATE DEBT, Which must filially be paid by a SPATE TAX, ponder web on the above filets." Now fur a few FACTS in relation to the STATE DEBT. In 15:35, the Muhlenberg committee of Allegheny county published an address,from which we take the h)llowing Extract: "FELLOW Crr.zesslt is time for the people of Pennsylvania to awake. Oppres 'ion is stealing upon us with no unsteady pace. TAXES ARE MUL i'IPLYING in various forms, arid eating up the hard earnings of our industry. Within the las six years the debt of Pennsylvania has beet swelled from the comparatively small sun, o, eight millions, to TWENTY-FIVE MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS— Being a daily increase, during the ad ministration of GEO. WOLF, of $8,3291 A monthly increase of debt, of 229,970 A quarterly increase of 649,612. A yearly increase of 3,998,459! A total increase of 16,90,1323! The interest on which amounts to the enormous sum of one million two hundred and sixty two thousand eight hundred and 4ighty.one dollars, to be paid out of the 'pockets of the people." In addition to this, Gov. Wolf in his vale dictory message,stated t at it would require ONE MILLION to pay off the debts then due on the - public works. These debts were all paid and the tuxes REPEALED by Gov. Miner. And in his annual message in IR3fl, Gov. RITNER recommended the PAYING OFF OF SIX MILLIONS OF THE STATE DEBT, and showed HOW IT COULD BE DONE—but the Loco Foca House of Reprcsentivives REFUSED TO DO I'l'. Let whoever doubts THIS FACT read the message. Besides this, in his veto of the Mammoth improvement Bill, and in all his ,messages and communications to the Legislature, he has undinnily declared HIS DETERMI NATION TO PREVENT ANY IN. CREASE OF THE STATE DEBT.— These facts are sustained by official docu• mauls, which the most brazen faced Loco Few cannot deny. azi•Paragraphs from a late Mublenberg pa per, the Curlible Republican: The Porter papers affect to believe the election of their man beyond a doubt. They may possibly be sincere, but really we nev er bet Ore saw a set of fellows work so hard and STRETCH so LONG, to accomplish a re• stilt they considered so certain. Porter has raced a good deal in his time, we know—but the best trained nags are sometimes distanced and sometimes break down. Keeping these facts in view,we hope our Loco Foco friends will not exhibit too much chagrin when they find their blooded courser left behind by an untrained wagon horse, at the October heats. The Locofocos are trying to injure Gov. Ritner by calling him an Abolitionist. They bring,forward no facts to establish the point, however; while, on the other side of the question, unless the man be belied, there are several °Rowing° FACTS, in the neigh borhood of Lewistown, proving that Porter has no very serious objections to MIA Lgit starioN. Those, by the by, are mere mat tera of taste, and we refer to them only us thy idle rumors of the day. As David R. Porter has been a long time in public life; and four or five years, at least, in the Legislature, we will feel obliged to any of his leading friends who will furnish us with any paper of his production—speech report, bill, resolution, or any thing else— whereby we may be enabled to find some evidence of his intelligence. In the absence of such documentary proof, we must say, as our belief, that David R. Porter is inferi or, in all the necessary qualifications era good Governor, to his opponent, Joseph Ra tter. lie can sing a song, fiddle a little, tell a good story, crack a joke, take a drink, smoke a sugar, and swear an oath with as. much grace as any body else; but as for his intelligence, all that ho has got only fits him for an admirable puppet in the hands of leading demagogues. Should he, 'inform nately be i'lected, many who disbelieve up. now, will see to their sorrow that we speak the truth. The Washington Globe banters to bot on porter's election. Bet what countertei. r:Paßtry Shinplasters or the balance ofthe debt the veritable Blair owes the United S. Bank? What an insult to the people to hear the organ of a broken government, offering bets on the State elections. That we shall not support David R. Por tor,wo think extremely probable. But why shall we not? Because, in the fifat place, he having held office either from the peo. ple or by Executive appointment, for fifteen or twenty years; to support him would evince, on our part, a most shameless disregard of the democratic doctrine of Rotation in Office a doctrine founded in wisdom and safe poi cy,and timer sacrificed to mere questions of expediency, by the pure fathers and found. era of the Democratic school. In the second place, because we do lint deem him either mentally or morally quali fied. His talents (with all the opportunities he had) are below mediocrity; and his moral character is not so unquestionable that a free and enlightened people could make him the depository of their rights, moral, political, and religious. A man of loose moral prin• ciplea, as we believe David R. Porter to be, who is not gifted with a godlike intellect to counter-balance and sway his moral infirini ties, is not fit to be the ruler of a people. In the t iiird place,becausedike every other male member of his farnily,he is s a.trimming politician, in whose integrity no confidence can be placed; and further,because his whole family connexions have been fed and parr pered, for a poriod of forty years and up wards, upon the "spoils of office"—in other words, upon money wrung from the hard hands of laborious industry, in the shape of Taxation. His father and each of his bro titers were, in their day,the recipients of pub lic fitvor, and fed without stint upon their master's cribs. In the fourth place, because, if electedove are led to believe he will sustain the pernici rats measures of Martin Van Buren's itdinin istration, by which the energies of the coun try have been prostratcd,ite treasures srfuan• dared upon worthless parasites, or expended in babarous and disgraceful, wars upon un. offi•nding Indian tribes, who have been wronged, cheated, and persecuted by white speculators sent stnong them as Government In the Oh place,because he is the candi date, not of the people, but of the brokbn down ex office holders, who expect through him to come again into power, and eupport themselves in a course of profligacy and li centiousness at the public expense. Finally,we shall not support him,because we have no confidence in the man, or in the party by whom he is sustained; koowing,of our own experience,that all their professions ofdemocracy and love of the people are hypo critical, and all their designs low, sinister and selfish. It is vain for the Loco Focos to attempt to conceal or deny, what is too manifest to every candid mind, that Martin Van Buren and his administration have no interest in the result of the election in Pennsylvania next fall, for Governor. Upon Pennsylvania rest all their hopes. If they look to Maine, Ver mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con nectictit,New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, V irgina, North and South Caro lina,- Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, 0- hio, Indiana, they hear nothing but the rum, bling noise of disaffection and distrust with- _ - and condemnation of, Martin Van Buren and his administration. Pennsylvania no doubt is in bentiment with her sister states, yet an effort will be made, nay is now making, by the administration at Washington to influ• ence the publick in favour of David R. Por ter. For what other reason than this was the following published in a Washington pa per? "A gentleman in this city will bet TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, that David R. Porter will be elected Governor of Pennsyl• vania." This offer was made immediately after MI Van Buren and hie friends had succeeded ii carrying through Congress the bill atithoriz ing the is9ue of TEN M ILLIONS of Trea Bury notes. Devoted as Pennsylvania was to Andrew Jackson, and the readiness with which she adopted all hie measures and received all his recommendations, Martin Van Buren too plainly sees, that she is lost to him and his friends, and hence the necessity or hav• ing ct fund to operate upon and influence the election in this state. That David It. Porter is the candidate o the minions at Washington; that through their influence he was nominated in the sth of March Convention, and that he is friendly to all and every measure of the admintstra• tion cannot be denied. What say Pennsylvanians to this? Wi they tamely submit to threign dictation in selecting a man to rule over this great state? We trust we aver they will not; but will set their seal of disapprobation upon such offi cial insolence,by spuruing the proffered bribe. and re•electtng Joseph Ritner our present able and patriotick Governor.[Erie Gazette. From the Harrisburg Telegraph, Loco•Foco Forgery Commenced. The friends of Gov. Ritner very well know that he was defeated in 1832 by a buse • FOß. GERY, committed just before the election . l'he Loco Focos,in their despair, have cow menced the game again, but early enough to be met and refuted, if our friends think their slanders worth noticing. The editor of a German Loco Foco pa• per in Lehigh county has published a FOR GED CERTIFICATE with the name of Benjamin Anderson, as Captain, and others iitached to it, which states that Gov. Rit. .er deserted from the service in the last tour. ['his certificate is dated 'Pittsburg, Alay, 1.838;' although Capt. Anderson and th? others whose names are attached to it, re. aide in Washington county. A baser FOR UERY than this was never committed—but we shall give it but a brief notice In 1832, a similar certificate was publish. ed by the enemies of Gov. Ritner; but it was ,net and so completely refuted by the testi rtiony of men of the highest rtanding, that it .vas nevar even adverted to in 1835. IF Capt. Anderson signed the certificate iuhlit=lted in 1832, ho either signed himself perjured man or wile a wilful liar.; for by the returns in the Auditor General's office made by him, he certifies that JOSEPH RITNER. served during the WHOLE I ER 111, and was (whiled to THE IMENTIO.

Rit ner was taken out °lbis company and Oared in the Quarter Master's department„ soon after he joined the army, by command riltsat perior officers, where he served during the remainder of his tour of duty, and returned with his company to Washington county. So muc h f or the desertion atom. The Lc. co Focos had better start something efse. Porter abandoned by Ike Conservatives.. GREAT MEETINU Or TEE DEMOCRATS OF PINE WARD, PIIIL ADELPIIIA.—The Carr servative Democrats of Pine Ward held a meeting on the 25th instant, in the proceed ingii of which David R. Porter is handled without much mincing. They denounce him as the misserable tool, who is to yie/d. " slavish ob , dicnce to the mandates of the Loco Focos,"and is "strongly imbued rrrth the principles and prevailing PLOTS OF It A MCA LISNI." The proceedings have' caused great trouble in the Loco Foco camp here, in-as-much as they have stripped from Porter the lion skin under which he intend ed to palm himself nffas the king of the For est, with some, and exposed him in his rcz ked deformity. We copy the following., from the address; which was adopted at the meeting with acclamation. "Since the last meeting of the Democrat ic Citizens of Pine Ward, which was held on the sth of January last, several political events pregnant with considerations of great and stirring moment, have occurred, upon which the committee feel themselvescalled upon to warn their fellow citizens by an ad ditional formal communication. The predictams which were then made bv your Committee upon the character and measures of the cabal of political gamesters who became the self-chosen general ward delegates in fraud of the voice of the demne racy of that city, have been verified to the letter; it needed no spirit of prophecy to foretell that these minions of the executive would yield a slavish obedience to the man dates of their masters. To give a sharer& plausability to their frauds, they had ?reel nusly arranged to procure for their old lead er, the Rev. Henry A. 31uhlenberg, a di plomatic appointment. George Wolf, the first auditor of the Treasury department. who it was supposed would be an obstacle to their designs upon the people. was sopped off with the collectorship of the port of Philadelphia; and the former incumbent of that post, James N. Barker, rotated into Wolf's Office. The field thus cleared at the last hour, their next step was to procure foil the gubernatorial nomination "Some cure! strongly imbued with the pernicious crud! prevailing plots of radicalism," and in this' efiect they had recourse to one David R. Por ter, (who the Democrats of his own village say they will not vote for, "Because they know him,") a Loco Foco member of the State Senate, from ttuntingdon county - , whose inertness of enterprise has beet to a succession of individual failures, and whose political career has been distinguished by stupidity and ignorance, and a blind subser vience to the decrees ofthe Kitchen Cabiaet Phis man, who is an old Federalist,tuad who, by low cunning and pretty tricks, aided by accident, intqued himself into the State , Senate, and who from his total unfitness for an honorable and competent discharge oldie duties of chief magistrate of the Common wealth, was for these reasons selected by this gang of gamblers for spoils and power as the candidate for the first office in the Stare, and is profanely nominated and called the Democratic Candidate for Governor. The sickly and mawkish fraud of his se cret pledge and solemn vow to play the ser vile pander, and the obedient echo is rati fled by the disgusting pageantry of his nom ination, and these miserable and deiraded miscreants impudently call upon the pure and dignified Democracy of good old Perm- sylvania, to support by their suffrages this sworn spy and traitor upon her liberties and her honor. In the desire that, probably, some remote and distant hope might be encouraged, that lie was not thus voluntary slave and fetter ed wretch of fraud and corruption,4l letter I containing distinct, plain, and direct inqui ries upon his views and purposes, was ad dressed to him by a very large number of highly honorable and distinguished Demo crats of the city and county of Philadelphia, which he has treated in terms that no long er leaves in doubt his allegiance to the most abandoned and reckless conspiratorsthat ev- er scourged and degraded a nation. "The democracy of the gate will entertain no re spect for, o, confidence in, such a candidate, and he will be defeated,' PORTER IN FAYETTE COUNTY.—The Re porter lately published a letter from a Loco Foco in Fayette county, which says that "many of the warmest friends of Riffle/ In this county have abandoned him, and will warmly support Porter,"—which the editor of the Fayette Journal copies with the fid lowing remarks. "Stop, a•bit, Mr. Reporter—your friend from Fayette County is mistaken._ He has just transposed the correct version of the story. There is no falling off from Ritner in this county: but on the contrary,there is a great gain. Never has the prospect of his party been more bright than it is at present —and the opposition vice versa. The gond people of Fayette county, so far from being "proud" of David R. Porter, DO NOT KNOW HIM! and from what they can learn of him,do not want to know him. They arnsatisfied with the present incunibent,andl are determined to give him their suffrage at the next election. The poor loco foci put us in mind of the man of misery, trying to smile while in pain—one side,of the Ewe wearing a horse laugh, and the other side exhibiting all the symptoms of a regular ease of hydrophobia. We can assure ourfriends in the East, that Fayette county will give JOSEPH RITNER a larger vote than she ever has heretofore given any candidate."

The office. holders in this city would willingly transfer their - geed will and wishes from the present President, to some one who would be more likely to succeed,as they consider his ehance altogether hopeless; yet they dare not even think aloud on this subject.

SMITHSONIAN LEOACY.-A letter from a friend in London informs us that the Hun Richard Rush has obtained an absolute de. cree for the Smithsonian Request, and that the money has been paid to him. It amounts to upwards of a hundred thousand pounds sterling. Mr Rush was to have embarked on his return in the course of the present month, bringing with him the money thus bequeathed for the purpose of education in the United States. It was supposed that the matter would have been the cause of a tedious chancery suit, hut it appears from this intelligence that it has been terminated with very little delay.

It contains a notice of the arrival at that port of H. M.

She had lost 40 slaves on the passage. The other, the Opposicien, was captured the same day, but she has pre;vismay, isildsd her Ainvets on the' south side of Cuba: Another slaver, the brig Dampens, with SSO slaves on board,has also been captured by H.

When lie came into the Court to hear the verdict, he appeared dejected. His countenance was heavy, yet his eye was fearless. But when the verdict was announced, he appeared like one, who had been intensely awaiting the iestio of the moment, but was glad when the agony was over, even though the pangs should be resumed with tenfold more acute- ness. He is evidently a young man of extreme fortitude and nerve—one who, if that bhould be his doom, will ascend the g 'Bows with as much apathy us he would pass to his cham ber. 119 119 We will not attempt to depict the agony of his father, and mother, and sister,and the miserable victim of his licentiousness and de ceit.

WASHINGTON, June 16, 1838. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Ingham, chairman of the Naval AC. fairs committee, offered a resolution fixing a day for the consideration of the Naval appro. printion and other bilis of the like character. Mr. Cushman intimated a similar wish as to the bills from the committee on Commerce. Mr. Cembreleng, as usual, interposed en objection to fixing a day for special orders. Tun TexAs Quesrion.—Mr. Adams then took the floor, in reply to Mr. Howard, upon the question raised by the presentation of certain resolutions of the committee•on For eign Affairs, asking to be dkcharged from the consideration of the Texas annexation question. To this Mr. Cushing had offered a motion to recommit, with instructions to report some definite action on the subject. To this Mr. Thompson had offered a motion to amend by instructing the committee to report steps to annex Texas. And there was pending a still further amendment offered by Mr. Adams, declaring that Texas could not tie annexed to the Union under the treaty making power, vested io the Executive. This was a very animated speech,turning principally npon the obligation ofa commit. tee of the House to"take into consideration" all resolutions, memorials, &c. referred to them, "and to report thereon." On a for- • mar day he had asked of the committee of Foreign Affin re whether they had given five minutes "consideration" to the mass of me. rriorials, resolutiontrof sovereign state legia fature-s, &c. on the iiubject of annexatioc of Texas. Mr. Dromgoole had flown into a rage and denied the right ofa member to catechize the committee upon such a point; and Mr. Howard, that same day,backed Mr. Dromgoole in that opinion, to the full length. To.day Mr. Adams alluded to this novel principle,that a committee of the House het_ a right of immunity from an inquiry titi to its action upon matters referred to it,by the House. In the course of ks, he was interrupted by Mr. I, ted that he, for one, had into one of the memorials ore ms en this subject, referred to ee on Foieigu Affairs, of which I. mbar Mr. Adams then read the nth rule of the House which makes it "the dtity of the . conr mit iee on Foreign Affairs totake into con. sideration all matters which concern the re- • lotions of the United States with foreign na -101/8, and which shall be referred to therriby the House, and to report their opinion there. , n." Mr. Legere then said he had certainly taken the matters referred to the committee into consideration. Mr. Adams—" Then the gentleman has aken the memorials and the sovereign state resolutions into . - "consideration," •withnut looking intolime-of them." He went on then upontt ha l hity of thettntlee towcei va and consider the memorials orthe people and the-expressions of opinion by state legisla• tures, and that a committee , to which they may be referred are bound to consider and to report on them. This he laid down as a great and important principle, and argued upon it at length, and with emphasis. He considered the pretence ofreceiving and yet not considering the petitions of the people, which Mr. Legere carries into.the opera tion of a committee--and which the House had also set up, as its rule of action, as a good offset to any "wooden nutmeg" that 1 ankees ever peddled. He was going on its this illustration, and reflecting somewhat upon what the House had done in this way, when the Speaker suggested that this was a departure from the true question in debate. Upon which Mr. Adams quickly replied, with great bonhomrnie, that he war. very much obliged to the Speaker, for—not hav ing slopped him before. Much laughter followed this sally,and then Mr. Adams went on in his strictures upon the action of the committee in receiving but not considering, yet making up their minds upon, hordes or petitions and resolutions from sovereign states. The hour for the orders of the day came, before Mr. Adams had concluded his remarks. A wild Catastrophe. BURNING OF THE STEAMER WASH INGTON ON LAKE ERIE AND FIFTY LIVES LOST! Correspondence of the N. Y. Courier .* Enquirer-- BUFFALO, Saturday. June 16. Dreadful Accident!—Steamboat Wash ington burned!—Fifty Hera lost!—II is with the most painful feelings that I write you, that the new steamboat Washington, Capt. Brown, took fire from underneath the bars of the furnace; about 2 o'clock this morning, when about three miles above Sil ver Creek, or about thirty-six from this city, and was burned to the water's edge, with all the property on board; but what is most lamentable, upwards of forty persons, passengers and crew, are supposed to have perished. The Washington was bound down, with 'a large number of passengers. She might . have been beached, but the tiller ropes were very soon burnt off, thus rendering 'her ult. maneageable. The steamboat North A, merica, Capt. Edmond, was also coming down, and was within eight or ten miles of this city, when the blaze of the burning beat was discovered. Capt.

Whatever can be effected by the limited moans which the various de mands on nor small army leave at the dia. posalofthe Coimusnding General,will doubt less be done to crush the border banditti, whose Bole object is that of plunder and re venge. It is possible, too, that the inciters ofthis gang may hope to produce by the pre datory warfare a general hostile feeling on the frontier which may !raid to difficulties which the respective Governments may not be able to compose. To prevent such mis chief, no • one, we are confident, is better adapted than General MlAcoira.z—Globe. The Athens, Tenn., Courier. speaking of the efficient preparations which Gen. Scott had made and was making for the removal ofthe Cherokees, states that the circulation of reports among them that two years more were to be allowed them, had done some mischief. Previously,the Indians were com ing in, and employing the settlers to cenvey them to the points of embarkatiot., but since then the reports in. question had put a stop to those voluntary movements.

Thomas Cunningham, pointed him out as the person best qualified for the Chief Magistracy of the Commonwealth, when Western Pennsylvania should urge the claims of, any ()flier citizens for that distinguished station. That prediction was !literally verified. While in 1 1 the Legislature, Joseph Ritner, although never un necessarily consuming the time of the House,was not a "silent member" but one, who on all impor tant questions - gave his reasons for his support or opposition to such questions; and it is said by them who know hint best and heard him ofkenest,that his speeches were always clear and his arguments remarkably cogent, bearing directly and forcibly on the subject under consideration. But it is not to his Legislative career, that we are to look for the greatest proofs of his ability; it is in a more distinguished and responsible station that be has given the moat decisive evidences of great ability as a Statesman. When Joann' ROT. Nis was elected to the Chief-Magistracy, the Com monwealth was involvedin a debt of TWENi'Y FIVE MILLION OF DOLLARS, and nearly ♦ XILLIOIK OF DOLL•IIIII TIM DEM, which Gov. %Wolf had made no provision to pay.and the Tres ,sjiry was entirely empty. His predecessor and his ,admini,tration bad pushed Taxation to the utmost of endurance,and besides the ordinary taxes, ,the people were paying, annually, a Direct Tax of "'TB RE UNDRED THOUSAND DOL ;LARS, and I go Public Improvements constantly increased ,t4e Awl-Arms. Such was the situation of Affairs !hoe ilasqgh Winer was called to the Chief :Magiatracy .21 i tlve 4(::lioNeoliwealth.

He did so; nor was it, by the miserable shifts and expedients of loans and additional taxation, which had been so often resorted to by his predecessor. He look ed around him, with the eye of a Statesman to dis cover the meansby which to rehire the Common wealth from its embarrassments and its citizens from their henbane. He saw that the Charter of the United States Bank, which it had derived from Congress, was about to expire, and that in addition to other misfortunes, the State was about to suffer a great diminution of Capital. To guard against this, and at the same time to provide a remedy for other evils, namely, a Bankrupt Treasury, onerous taxation and an extensive and ramified System of Internal Improvements entirely unproductive, a Charter was offered by the Legislature to that In stitution, nnrvided, it would pay to the State, for the relief of the people, A mom Cal or $4,500,000 and pay into the Treasury annually, for twenty years, the sum of $lOO,OOO for School purposes. The Bank accepted the Charter on these con ditions, and thereby enabled the Governor to pay the debt then due, and which there were no other funds to pay, and the Legislature to repeal the Di rect Tax, which was accordingly done. But Jo- seph Rimer did not stop when he had performed what his opponents had deemed impossible; he went on to correct the abuses on die. Public Works, ' by removing those who had preyed upon the pub lic money, and appointing honest' nd competent officers in their place. Prior to his Administration them Works had been • gulph, into which thou sands and tens of thousands of the people's money had been annually thrown, but which like Pha roales “Lean kine," still remained in the same con dition,although they swallowed up all the resources of the Commonwealth. But under the wise man agementof our present ChiceMagiatrate, they soon became productive and now bid fair at no very dis tant day under • continuance of the same judicious care to pay the debt contracted in their construc tion. We have thus presented evidence of the talents and enlightened Statesmanship of Joseph Ritzier, that will be convincing to every one, not prede termined not to be convinced. It is true that he may not be as rich in Collegiate honors and de grees, as those born to higher fortunes but he posse,.•es what is a far better qualification for the responsible station which he occupies, a strong mind, stored with a knowledge of men and things. He was a poor man's son ■nd had not the means of acquiring a liberal or Collegiate education, but by industry and application, be has acquired an •mount of knowledge and practical wisdom, that Colleges and Seminaries rarely confer upon their Students. He also possesses firmness in an emi nent degree, without which, all his other qualifica tions would have been but little available, in the times and under the circumstances which he was called upon to act. This he exhibited in resisting the interference of the National Executive in State matters, in Vetoing the Girard Bank Bill and the Mammoth Improvement Bill, both passed by large majorities of the Legislature. He has alwaye been the friend of the Farmer and Mechanic,defending their inter ests against the Specclator and Capitalist,notwith standing the influence which these last are allow ed to possess. Such is the character of JOSEPH RITNER. In speaking or hie Competitor David R. Pori cr, the Van Duran Candidate for Governor, we shall treat him with candor and ethibit him only mare is. David R. Porter has been for some time in/pub lic lifer, for a number of years, twelve I*leirlit, he was an office holder.under former Administrations. Since that, be has been in the State Senate; and during the time he has been there, some of the most important questions ever agitated in this Common wealth, have been discussed in that body, but in none of these has Mr. Porter ever participated. It is therefore to he presumed that has no capacity as • Legislator or Statesman, or, on some of these occasions it would have been displayed. We say nothing against him as • man for the want of ca pacity; if nature has denied it to him, he is not to be blamed for not possessing it; we only object to a man who wants it, being elevated to an office, the duties of which, to be well performed,particu lady in such times as the present, require the highest qualifications. Before Mr. Porter was appointed to office, he was engaged in the manufacture of Iron, in which business he failed, about the year 1819, sriLl TOOK TUC lIIENKFIT OT TEN TNIBOLYZNT Laws, which his Creditors lost a very large sum of money.— Such misfortunes.howeverowe sometimes unavoid able particularly to men, like Mr. Porter,who pos sesses no business qualifications i t o who are there. flins•not always to be blamed for acts of this kind. Mr. Porter's fault lies in this—that by the offices which he has since held, he has made.* very large fortune. upwards (his friends say) of FORTY 'THOUSAND DOLLARS, yet he still refuses to pay his debts, pleading the Statute of Limitation to avoid the payment of debts which he acknow ledged to be justly due, in the Schedule which be filed, at the time ho applied for the Benefit of the Insolvent Laws. From this set of Mr. Porter, in TAKINO 'ma 1116N6VIT and his subsequent refusal to pay his debts, two inferences may be drawn; first, that Mr. Porter being unable to conduct his own affairs in , a proper manner, would be still less able to con duct the affairs of the Commonwealth; and second ly, that having acted dishonest in private mat ters and towards individuals, he would be still more likely to act dishonestly towards the Com monwealth. In relation to his moral character,we do not feel that wo are bound to advert to it. The fact of his being a seducer and profane swearer, are mitten' to which we shall barely refer as • part of his his tory, leaving 'him to settle them with a tribunal which will do justice to all without any taint of imperfection. In the Senate, Mr. Potter was always in favor of measures of extravagance; at the Session of 1836-37 he voted for the MAXXOTH IMPROVE /116NT Bits, although that bill would have envoi ved the State in a debt of FORTY-FIVE MIL LION OF DOLLARS. by the works which it projected; yet at the last Session of the Legislature, he toted against the I x BlLL,although not half the amount, of that of the year before, which Gqv. Ritner had vetoed. Besides, the bill of the last session was for two years, the bill of the session of 1836-37 having been vetoed and no other Appropriation Bill having been passed at that Session; Mr. Porter, no doubt having refused to vote for it because it was not large enough. But his friends find in excuse for him, in the fact, that he was the son of a rich man, who lived in splendor,and in whose family economy not practic ed. And this is true; Mr. Porter's family haring been long known by the name of the Royal Fam ily, from their pride and wealth. Such are the candidates for the office of Governor, let the peo ple judge between JOSEPH RITNER and DA VID R. PORTER. Ignorance. 'There is a kind of ignorance, which is tole pitied rather than condemned, but there is another kind of ignorance, that is highly culpable. Of this last, was the "Compiler" guilty, when it ailed ged that the appointment of THADDEUS STZT2 WS, as Canal Commissioner, was in violation of an Act of Assembly of this Commonwealth. Ignor• antly to assert that to be true, which is not true, is fa/se ; and he who makes such an assertion, is guilty of falsehood. It is true, th.pt there was an act of Assembly, disqualifying members of the Le gislature from holding the office "of Canal Com missioner or Superintendent on the line of Canal, during the time for which they were elected to of fice;" but that act has been repealecl,and the Editor of that paper is a Lawyer,and ought to have known this. „ Betting. yyThe Loco Foco leader, in this Unrisughovas lately on to the City of Washington for money to be spent in electioneering. Since his return sere ral bets have been offered by subordinate Loco Focus, vrtm it is known to all, never possessed, in their lives, at one time, half the amount which they now offer to bet on the Election of David U. Porter. The freemen of Pennsylvania, will thus see that they have a hard battle to fight; they have not only to contend against the Loco Foco party in the state, but also against the influence and mo nay of the General Government, used to sustain the desperate cause of the party candidate in this Commonwealth. We do not make these assertions at a hazzard, for before the trip of the Loco Foco oracle to Washington, although the leaders of that party frequently profferred large bets, on the election of Porter, yet as soon as they were accepted by our friends—its they universally were—they always excused themselves from pulling up the money ; before that, it is true, they persuaded their men to bet, but not a cent would they risk themselves.— But since his return, mouey,in large sums, is offer ed to be bet by those, who, as we above stated, neva; in their lives, at one time, possessed half the amount they now propose to bet. An agent, too, was sent hare from Harrisburg with the same kind of funds, to "bluff off," as he said, the Hither men. But these bets were promptly taken by our friends. But it was for the purpose of censuring this sys tem of belting, that we took up our pen. The fact that it is approved of, by the National Adminis tration at Washington, which through its organ the Globe, has offered to bet TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, un the result of the election in this State, ought not to lead to the conclusion that it is right or proper. That Administration is almost as deeply involved in moral as political corruption. Betting is a species of Gambling to which we have always been opposed. Many persons are persuaded by demagogues (as they have been late ly here) to bet SUMS which would be very hard and injurious to them to !owe, and therefore would be wrong for the person winning to take. We hope therefore that our friends will not fuel thetn selves bound, to take the bets which respectable men but who yet need all they have, have been persuaded to offer, nor those which are proffer,d by the General Government through its agents.— We shall bear the Lucu Foco candidate 20,000 votes and that is gain enough for the friends of the country without winning the money of the Gov ernment, or, of individual Loco Focos, Steam boat disaster!
