Governor of the said Commonwealth
A Proclamation.
The period has arrived when the series of misfortunes produced by the injurious inter.
&ranee of the National Government with the Currency of the. Country is about to ter
minate. Congress having risen without sanctioning the Rite mist to give to the Federal
Executive the entire control of the Natissnal wealth , and of the whole amount of specie
in the country, and the consequent power to ritli'ct and wield to its own purposes all the
capital and credit of the Union; and having also imposed certain salutary restrictions On
so much of this power as had been already al regaled, it is incumbent on the Comnion
wonitli of Pennsylvania to put forth her strength, to quicken her dormant energies nod
to lake that stand in the Crude and estrum ree of the Union, which her unbounded re
sources, her vast natural and artificial liitelitiss for the it developereent, arid the solid arid
energetin character of her citizens demand: In thepi I'm her of which stned, all the mea
sures of the National Government have recently tended.
For the production of this most desirable result, the measure first requisite is,that nn
end be put to certain open infractions of the spirit of the laws, which have been forced
upon us by the overbearing micesseies of the times, end to restore credit and the cur
reucy to the firm basis on which they stood before their late derangement was un
necessarily brought uts the people.
1, therefore, by virtue of that enjoinment of the Constitution which requires the Gov
ernor of the State to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and for the purposes
aforesaid, do hereby require all Banks in this Commonwealth, on or before the thirteenth
day of August next ensuing the date hereof, to resume and continue the redemption of
their respective notes ; bills and other obligations, in 00En and SILVER COIN according
to the true intent Amd meaning of their charters. A nd,for the purpose of siding those insti
tutions in the accomplishment of this !foldable object, I deem it proper to state,from the in
formation I have obtained,thst their solvency and general condition is such as to entitle
them to the confidence of all who hold their notes, their amount of specie on hand being
largely increased, and of notes in circulation leech diminished, since the suspension of
specie payments in May, I P 37.
While it is thus cheerfully annotmeed that the moans of the Melts are :mph', arid that
their conduct has been, throughout the Into trying crisis, generally such es to sustain our
already high diameter for punctuality, honesty sell solvency. mairimin and even increase
oar trade, keep up the value of property, and prevent the Sate from becoming the thea
tre of panic or distress, yet I shall feel bound, in duty to the pnblic, to take all the mersnB
in my power to compel a return to thut agency mid responsibility to their creditors for
which they were created. lf, however, a return be promptly and faithfully made to that
line of duty to the laws and to the public front which they have beer, compelled to depart,
the occurrences of the past year will only be recorded in our history its another instance
of the perfect adaptation of republican institutions to the demands of every crisis, and will
show that common rind overruling necessity being bowed to by general consent, becomes
for the time rho law of the land. But to justify such rule of necessity, and to prevent he
tore evil from its unnecessary recurrence or unjust continuence, it is indispensably re
quisite that the infanta the pressure of Circumstances which produced it ceases, the em•
pire attics express and ordinary law of the land should be restored. Accordingly, if on
the other hand a return to general and real redemption in specie, and fl withdrawal of all
illegal paper money from circulation, do not now take place, when all admit that it may,
with safety and public benefit, I shall hold it my duty, forthwith to take all the measures
to compel it, which the constitution and laws have placed in my power; and at the open
ing of the next session of the Legislature, to recommend the passage of such laws as
may more ( - Penally guard the future from the evils of the past.
And further, for the purposes and by virtue of the enjoinment aforesaid, I do also here•
by require all persons or bodies corporate, who may have violated the laws of this State,
by the emission and circulation of notes of any denomination under that of five dollars,
commonly called "Shin Plasters," to take instant measures for the full and honest re
clemption of the same, in gold and silver coin, or such other ample equivalent as shall be
satisfactory to the holders thereof, under pain of the penalties provided in such cases,
which penalties, if this notice be not complied with in a reasonable time, it will bo the
duty of all good citizens to enforce.
Should this requirement be fully and promptly complied with, the Commonwealth
Will be restored to that sound currency which she pos.ie9sed bef.)rc the suspension, viz:
One composed of gold and silver for all sums under, arid of notes instantly convertible
into specie for all sums of and over, five dollars. The re9olt of the attempt to improve
the currency will then obviously be, that the only paper issues in circulation AND NOT
CONVERTIBLE INTO SPECIE AT THE PLACE WHENCE ISSUED, WILL BE THOSE OF
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
In communicating! thus Publicly with my fellow citizens on this most important and
interesting matter, I would respectfully and earnestly say to all, be firm and cool in the
emergency. Trust in the laws, have confidence in the institutions, and sustain the high
credit and charm ter nr . your glorious Commonwealth. You have borne yourselves
through the crisis nobly and honorably: You have come almost uninjured out of the
trial. Make one more calm and steady effort aid all will be well. The forbearance
and determination heretofore exhibited have been such as to reflect credit upon the State,
while it has strengthened the hands and cheered the hearts of your public agents in the
performance of duties of no ordinary difficulty. Conti tf.lting, as is naturally done, the
feelings and hopes connected with this attempt to aid the resumption, with those which
animated me when I addressed my fellow citizens on tho subject of the suspension of
specie payment, I cannot hut niece at the difference. We were then entering upon a
new and untried course of action whose happy termination was only matter of hope.—
We are now at the conclusion of our doubts tool fears, mid, with the blessing of Novi
dence.on the exertion of our own moderation and industry, about to return to our usual
confidence and prosperity.

the Woodbury Constitution:—
SPECIE PAYMENTS. —Governor RITNE.II,
of Pennsylvania,has issued his proclamation
requiring all the hanks of that state to re•
some and continuo specie payments on the
13th of August nex', and requiring also,that
all persons, or bpdy corporate, who have
issued hills less than five dollars, immediate
ly do redeem the same. A failure to com
ply with these requirements will subject
them to all the penalties of the low. This
movement of the Governor has completely
thrown the administration party on its back,
little dreaming that he resumption of 4pecie
payments wan so near, and they now char.
acterise the measure as an electioneering
scheme.—Woodbury, N. J. Constitution.
The Philadelphia Inquirer thus refers to tho
Proclamation attain:—
The Loco For°a continue to groan in re
lation to the resumption of specie payments.
Such a result brought ule , ut by Gov. Ritner,
seems to have overwhelmed them with des
pair,end destroyed the little philosuphy dint
was left. The best of the joke is, that they
have for months oast been endeavouring to
make their roads; s believe that one ut the
chief objects of loco focoism was an early
and general resumption of specie payments.
Imagin the difficulty they experience. now
that the resumption is about to be effected
through the aid of Governor ititner,in their
efibrts to make the impression that the whole
affair is a humbug. Sisypho4 had an easy
task compared with theirs. The truth ea,
the Locos were never in favour of resump
tion, and rather than accord credit to Gov.
ernor Ritner for so desirable a result, they
would have submitted to a suspension of spe
cie payments for two or three years longer.
The people, however,the farmors,nr•chanics
and working men of the country, rejoice at
the approach of the 13th of Augnat, and
every effort of the Loco Focos to prove that
a resumption on that day will not be attend•
ed with good results,only plunges them deep
er into the quagmire of political contusion
and inconsistency .[Philaledphia Enquirer.
Hutt what the Baltimore Patriot again says:—
GOVEtitIVOR RITNeR.—The Farmer Gov•
error of Pennsylvania, is winning golden o
pinions from all sorts of men (except the
political Locofocos) for his excellent and
well timed Proclamation in favor of a Re
sumption of Specie pay inents,and flgiilll9t the
continued circulation of shin plasters,in that
Commonwealth. Some of the papers are a
little sore at the way in which the Governor
alludes to the Powers lit Vitshington; but it
is known on all sides that Pennsylvania in
the aggregate, and Rutter and his policies
in particular,have suffeied much wrung and
injury from those Powers; there is therefore
a disposition to pardon this natural out•brenk
of truth, in regard to the national rulers.—
As to the German population,they have been
pleased with Parlll,:r RITNER from the first.
But they now like him better than ever,since
he has taken a positive and decided stand in
favor of early resumption against shinplas

The Rev Nathan Stem,pastor of the Episcopal Church

It vessel my in:ant:co that Gov. Ritnor first took

so doing I believe was a desire to aid the congre

ago, perhaps a year, when ho learned that tho
debt was nearly paid, ho wished le givo up his
pew, but et my earnest request continued to hold
it Tho reason sot forth in the certificate of Messrs.
Peacock and Parke was the ono assigned by mu,
by his direction, fir giving up the pow at the time
ho did; but I also understand that another reason
influence hien, which was that his aid seemed to
ho no longer necessary, the church bning out of
debt. This however, I did not state to the vestry,
because I know that tho Govornor did not wish to
have any thing sold about his geneitons conttibu

Commonwealth ‘S'e invite the attention
of the people to the facts we are about to
tresent.
The Hunt•ngdor. county records show
that David It. Porter was diseliar.red from
confinement under the insolvent lowa, on the
10th day of February, HI U. Mark the
date. To obtain that discharge, he was e•
bilged to take the following oath:
"I, A. 8., do swear, that I will deliver up and
transfer to my braistee or trustees, for the a-o of
my creditors, all any property that I have or claim
any title to or interest in at thin, time,und all debts,
rights, and claims which I have at this time, or
that I am in any respect entitled to, in possession,

property, rights, or claims to auy rerson whore.
by to defraud my creditors or any of them, or to
secure, receive or expect fug profit, benefit or ad.
vantage thereby."
In defiance of this oath, the records ofl
Beaver county show, that instead of deliver.
log up to his trustees, for the use of his cred
itors, all his property, debts and claims, Da
vid R. Porter collected, in his own name,
and for his own use, between eight and nine
hundred dollars, from two citizens of this
county. to whom he had previously sold land
in North Beaver Township! On the sth of
December, 1918, a very short time before
ho filed his petition, Porter sold a tract of
Donation land, No. 1778, .n this county, to
Messrs. James Kidd° and Alexander Run
sell, for the sum of tiro thousand dollars.
The deed acknowledges the receipt of rho
whole purchase money,Vhile it would seem
that but about ono half paid down, and
notes or bonds given for the balance. These
obligations were held by Porter when he
"swore out," and afterwards proceeded upon
and collected as they became due. The

by Sheriff, M. 22, sth April, 1620, James Kiddo,
one of the Defendants, appear in person, and con.
fess judgment to pluintitr fur five hundred thirty
dollars eight cents debt.
Defendant, James Kiddo, filed three reeoipts,
to wit: one bearing date 10th April, 1820, for
820,00; ono 23d Sept. 1820, for 8465,00, and one
dated 13th Feb. 1823, for $31,00, which payment
satisfies this judgment, ch.bt, and interest, leaving
a balance of $22,26, which is applied to n judg
inent against same defendants, see No 51, April,
1820.
The second appears in same volnme, p. 220, and
is entered as a c‘i pi se case, debt 6666,66; is sued
10th of April, 1820. On tho 26th March follow
ing, Kidd° appears and confesses judgment for
6176,65 debt. On the 16th of December, 1824,
judgment hatiified.
The third oblieution ontered April term, 1822,
Sarno volume, p. 467—issued April Ist. Sum liqui
dated by Prothonotary at $182.74. In Novoint.er,
1825, Kiddo paid $172,82i; and oil 13th of July,
1829, the debt, intorest and cost settled in lull.
It appears, then, that on the fith day of
December, 1918, Porter made his deed to
Kiddo and Russell, taking their obligatioos
for a portion of the purchase money. At
the January term, 1919, one month alter
wards, he applied for the benefit of the in
solvent laws; arid on tho 10th of February,
at a special court, was discharged from con
finement. In July following he entored suit
against Kiddo and Russell, for the collection
of the first bond due; and in 1820 and 1822,
the other bonds were entered, and finally
all settled. Is it' not plain, then, to every
'mind, that Porter did not deliver up thr the
use of his creditors, all his property, debts
and claims, as required by the law, and the
insolvent's oath? Judge ye who are called
upon to sustain his election to the highest
office in the Commonwealth.
We have more eyOsnce at hand. It would
seem that David R. Porter was cut in this
county in December, 1814, just before he
took the benefit for the purpose of putting
property out of his hands At that time.
beside the land sold to Kiddo and Russell,
he owned five hundretacres on Big Beaver;
in this county, which was under a mortgage
to the Huntingdon Bunk, for about two thirds
its value. To keep the balance from his
creditors, we find upon the reaorde a deed
executed by him to his broiher,George 13.
Porter, dated the 11th, and recorded the
14th, of December, 1918-901M3 two or
three weeks before his application to the
court for relief!' The consideration is stated
of t11:3000, , subject to.the mortgage:. but any
other sum sufficiently largo would have an.
steered !hearties purposes. Gee; B. Porter
I most probably wan not then here, and per
-1 1 Imps knew nothing of the circumstances.-
The Bank, however, pushed upon the mort
gage, and its President bought in the land
to cover the claim. In I F_.•:i 1 , Poi tor got it
I assigned back to him, upon the payment if
about the principal and the interests of Ins
debt to the bank; and in I i''32 sold it for 83,-
100. In making the last conveyance, the
deed to George 1.1. Porte: is n": ruc!ted.
Let the reader vain look at the insolvent
debtor's oath above, and in view of filets
here stated, decide for himself whether n,:.
yid R. Porter appears to have acted fairly
and honestly by his creditors. We have sot
forth the facts as they appear on the recordT
—let the people decide upon them.

Mu. RIDDLE- !I' A s- owers:gned have
heretofore opp, s..d the e!eeti,n of Joseph
Ritner and us flew Intend, On the second
Tuesday in Oetutni, to lond 111111 a cordial
and hearty support, they have deemed it due
not only to themselves, but t ,, that portion
of their fellow citizens, whose good opinion
they value, to give through the medium of
your columns the following expositions of
of their reasons.
It is well known, thnt nt tho hint esidon-
tial election, great distraction and discord
prevailed in tho ranks of the opposition, to
which circumstance alone can be imputed
the success of Mr. Van Buren. Nearly the
whole of the party in this State, to which
most of us belong, had fixed their atii , clions
and hopes upon Mr. Clay or Mr. Webster,
and when the n.nnination of Gen. Harrison
was finally offl,cted, many of us were dis
satisfied, and our energies paralyzed tinder a
mistaken opinion that his election was ha rd•
Iv lobe desired, inure especially as it was ex
pected from Mr. Van Buren's reputation
for cunning and tact, that he would see the
necessity—from selfish it not from patriotic
motives--of changing the whole policyof
the National Administration. In that opin
ion we have been most greviously mistaken.
We have become convinced by door bought
oxpertence that it is the delenrannlion et the
party in power, to disregard Vie blighting
mildew with which, as with a pull, they cov
ered this who lo land, and to pcisisi reckless
ly in their erid career, until they shall hove
accomplished ihei selfish purp,) Res , and b w i t
up their own interests upon the rums of la -
honous industry and comtnereml enterprise.
We uro determined, theretbre, tar the
future, to unite our energies with those
of the friends of the country, in relieving
it from the incubus which is resting on its
bosom and threatening to extinguish its vi•
tal powers. If we shall fail in this good
work, through a want of proper harmony,
the responsibility shall not rest on us. We
have resolved—and we earnestly invoke
those who think with us—to make all other.
questions and interests bend to the great
object of driving from power a party who
were the first to promulgate the monstrous
doctrine of a separation of• interests between
the People and their Governmm•nt; making
the former subservient to the latter.
Sine the issue has been distinctly joined,
and war openly declared, the people have
been in every conflict, gloriously trium•
phant. The next battle field will he Penn•
sylvan's; the whole energies of the Admin
istration of the general goverment will he
brought to bear upon that cnn•est. and if they
are beaten, the fear veal he ended. They
have in the field a member of their party,
identified—bv his vole in the Senate•-with
their most odious nice ur , •! If they suc
ceed in electing him to the Gubernatorial
Chair, it will be claimed ns a test vote upon
thu Sub Treasury scheme.
We huye then not only to contend for, a
candidate, the conservative character of
whose administration has vita:Weil to him the •
euiditlence of all good citizens, who are not
blinded by party zeal, but for the honor of
good old Pennsylvania. We owe en obit.
gation to the Whigs of other States, which
we must redeem. It will not do for us to strip
the "ball," which has been rolling so glori
ously onward, and by defeat here to infuse
new life into a prostrate enemy. Whilst
we have a common enemy abroad, we must
look heyotel state politics, using them to
strike the last blow at expiring tyranny.

Great •illeeting of the People
of Mulberry Ward, Philadelphia, in
favor of the Patriot Governor/
ay-A large and highly respectable meeting of the
"hard-working advocates of the interests of Pennsyl
vania; friends 01 a SOUND CURRENCY, and the
re-election of the People's Candidate, FARMER
RITNER," was held in Philadelphia last week, at
which the following resolutions were adopted:—
The Democratic Whig citizens of North
Mulberry Ward, recognizing in the recent
Proclamation of GOV. RITN ER, that faith
ful watchfulness of the interests of the peo
ple ofthe Commonwealth,whicb haseignaliz
ed the whole of his administration of our of
and finding in it new and gratifying
evidence of his devotion to the institutions
and business of Pennsylvania, and of his de
sire to protect them as well from the assaults
of party violence, as from evils of a domes•
tic origin: seize upon this present effort to
secure to us a uniform medium of currency
by the restoration of specie payments, as a
fit opportunity to express our confidence in
his patriotism, wisdom and eirtue,as a maw
istrate.and our determination by united and
fearless exertions to reelect him to the office
he now fills with such distinguished honour
to the Stute and to himself; and for these
purposes do resolve as follows:
That the recent Proclamation of Gov. RIT
NER, founded in a wise and impartial esti•
mate of the causes which carried the coun
try through one disastrous experiment after
another,urdil the whole money,business,and
property of the people were prostrate nt the
feet of the National Administrntion,contains
the true exposition of Van Buren politics;
nod having exposed, as with the spear of
I thuriel. the nakedness and deformity of the
spoils party, causes its pensioned press and
subsidized retainers to rave like madmenon
the expectation of that signal defeat which
they now know with certainty awaits them
at the October election.
Iteeeived.Thet our Farmer Gorernor has
wisely and well discharged his official du
ties, by placing the honking institutions of
the State on their good behaviour , durin , e
the days of peril and hostility to them from
the Perish Credit, Perish Commerce" par
,v. and leaviev to the people in those times
ut It ail and adversity, the right to collect
spec !...en the banks n+ ,ten they found it
ruined by stop laws or State
loterf•renee; and we rejoice that we now
luiAl biun tlot first Governor in the Venni to
recqf_onze the victory of the people's repro
sentatives over Executive usurpation and
corruption,by calling the hunks beck to their
proper sphere, and restoring to us a sound
and uniform cur rency,constantly convertible
at will into gold and silver.
Resolved, That our political opponents
have good ground to fear that the exhibition
of their Tim Million of NATIONAL SHIN•
PLASTERS, payable nowlierriond only valua
ble to those who may be so unfortunate as
to owe money to the General Government,
will cut a sorry figure alongside of GOYER•
Non RerNett's Ilsan MONCY on the Second
"fuesdny in October; and that we recom•
mend to those among: them who are still
honestly attached to a sprcio currency, to
unite with us and swell our mijorities,rat h ‘ , r
than adhere to that sidewhich has proclai m•
ed its own defent-hy declaring that all who ‘
ti ado on borrowed ea Intel ought to breek\,
Resolved, That as faithful and patriotic
sons of Pennsylvania,we will use every hon•
arable efFirt to re elect JOSEPH RITNER
as Governor of the Commonwculth,and that
to severe the election of sound , Whigs to
the Legislature, we will sacrifice all level
and personal considerations to the the gond
of the State, and give a long pull, a:strong
pull, and a pull altogether for the Demoorit•

Do honest Pennsylvanians wish any thing else
to induce them to abandon this man—this tool of
detnagegues worse than Porter himself! We trust
not, and rejoice that the • , good men and true•" are
flocking, in all directions, to the butudurd of the
PHA NBILVANIA FlaMRn.
lMe'ld Qom• Porter's Insulveury
Ca , We publoth to-day, (says the Pat,burg Gi
sette,) stronger and more damning evidence, from
an unoxpectod quarter, in relation to the conduct
of this individual.
It will be eeen, by this article, that on the 6th of
December, 1818, Porter was in Beaver cuunty,and
then sold ono tract of land there, and a few days
afterwards, conveyed another to his brother,George
B. Porter. Sometime during that same montli,or
prior to the 26th of Jantiary following, ho became
an applicant for the benefit of the Insolvent Laws.
The precise day we cannot ascertain.
The day of hearing of hint and his creditors was
the 10th of February, and ho had to give at least
fifteen days previous notice to his . reditors which
would carry the application ',rack at least its far as
the 2fith of Jnny. 1819—and it may have been
much earlier. For the unpaid portion of the pur
chase money of the first tract of land,notcs or bonds
were given, and after his discharge, and after he
had sworn to deliver arid transfer all his property
to assignees, he proceeded in his own name to col
lost the balance due him. As to the other tract
which was mortgaged to the Bank nt Huntingdon,
he, in December, 1818, conveyed it to his brother,
and subsequently, when he redeemtd it from the
brink, no reference is made to the conveyance of
his brother.
One thing is manifest that all theso transactions
in Beaver County in December, must have been
preparatory to his application for a discharge un
der the Insolvent laws.
jFinding that they had been out-numbered
by the friends of Ritner and a Sound Currency at
Harrisburg on the 4th inst. it was apparently man
ifested that orders wore issued to every man and

The Whigs of Loutrinn•t have achieved a

Loco-focos. They have routed the federal

not a flag flying or a corner for their escape.
The victory is complete and overwhelm

all the members of Cloogrosa, and a largo
majority of the Legislature. The enemy
have not a foot hold left. Three cheers for
Louisiana. Its Democracy has arisen in its
might, and overthrown the allied powers of
