STAR a REPUBLICAN BANNER, Tuesday, July 24, 1838. From Porter's home. We extract the following from the proceedings of • publia meeting held at Williamsburg in Huntingdon county:— "It is our duty to tell the unbought sons of this State, that we cannot support him, (Porter) because ire know his MORAL, rota- Twat, and virrsu.cirrear, character-111S is tar from spotless, and no palliative or purVer of the stains CAN or DARR be offered by his deluded advocates —His potrricat, is written in the history of an official demagogue, grown Jae upon the favors of the people-Rig INTELLECTUAL, has never been dfveloped—five years in the halls of the Legislature, his deeds are a blank among the Lawgivers of of our Commonwealth. No act of his life gives him a claim to MEDIOCRITY.—sack we know him", gqqgqigg'zi'g Overwhelming Evidence of, the dishonesty of David R. Porter! Base Treafinent of a Poor Man! crit is with no ordinary feelings of regret that we, in the discharge of our duty as the conductor of a public journal, feel compelled to lay before our readers the subjoined testimony of the DP-1- Iit.NESTY of a man who has been elevated to high places in the Commonwealth. But we can not shrink from that duty. Wo should feel no respect for a man, however high, or however weal thy, who would be guilty of acts so disgusting and insulting to the moral sense of community. It rill be recollected, that in the "Evidence" which we have laid before our readers, DAVID R. PORTER, a candidate for the highest post in the State within the gift of the Pcoplc,stands charg ed with having DEFRAUDED A POOR MAN out of About $7OO several years since; that Porter had since grown RICH and still refuses to pay him any part of said debt. In the taco of the pub lished transcripts from the records of the Court, David R Porter and his minions come before the public and endeavor, after defrauding the poor men oat of his just dues, to rob him of his good name also! On the authority no doubt of Porter himself, his friends hare published to the world that the suit between Sturgeon and Porter had been tefer red to arbitrators, who awarded that there was nothing due from Defendant (Powran,) to Plaint g,," (S-ruaacest.) Meeting with this as sertion and the announcement that Porter bad grown very rich, Mr. Sturgeon went to Hunting don in the latter part of June, and called on Mr. Porter and demanded a part, at least, of what was honestly due to him. Now, reader, peruse Mr. Sturgeon's account of the interviews with "Gen. David Rittenhouse Porter," testified to under oath:— 'HUNTINGDON COUNTY SS. Personally appeared before me, one of tits-Justices of the peace in and for the said county, SextrEL STURGEON, who being du ly sworn according to law, duth depose and say, that on Monday the 25th day of June A • D. 1938, he called upon DAVID 11-POR TER, and requested bine to settle a claim that the said Sturgeon held against the late firm of Patton and Porter. That said Da vid R. Porter said he did not owe said de ponent any-Thing, BECAUSE THE ARBITRA TORS. IN THE CASE HAD MADE AN AWARD AGAINSt SAID DEPONENT, whereupon, said deponent asked to see the said award. That said Porter, said, ho would show it at a suit able time. That the said deponent then went and called upon Maxwell Kinkead, and John Sionebrea kero he surviving arbitrators, on Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 26th and 27th June, A. H. 1838, and obtained of the said arbitrators, a certificate that ?do AWARD 1 lIAD EVER BEEN MADE. That said deponent then returned and again called upon the said David R. Porter, and asked him if he, the maid David, lad made up his mind to do any any thing fur the stid deponent: and he told him in conversation that he, Me said depo nent, had settled the claims of the poor la. boring hands who had assisted him to per. form the labor, the sum of three hundred and sixty dollars, or thereabouts, and that he, the said Porter, should do something fur him. That the said David R. Porter ad mitted it was a hard case, and said that we had better compromise. That the said Por ter desired the said deponent to name the conditions ofa compromise. That the said deponent said he would leave it to the said David. Whereupon, the said David offer ed the deponent the sum of one hundred dollars, if the said deponent would part with him good friends, and said that he would leave the said deponent !o think of the mat ter. That the said deponent did think of the matter, and in about half an hour met the said David R. Porter against his house, accordingly-to Mr. Porter's invitation, and then told Mr. Porter that he could not take the one hundred dollars: Mr. Porter then offored to give the deponent one hundred and eighty dollars, being the one half of the amount withont interest, for which the said deponent had settled with the laborers, and the said David R. Porter then sat down and irrofe a re( eipt in full of all demands, and 4 3 rficase of all claims against Patton and Porter, which he presented to deponent to sign, and the said David R. Putter then wrote a certificate, which be read to said deponent, and handed him to sign, the sub stance of which, ae nearly as deponent re collects was that "I ao certify that 1 h are 'mown David R. Porter for upwards of totally years, and that 1 know him to be on honest man, and just and sip eight is all his dealings," Etc. &c. When he read it to deponent, said deponent told him a* rorLn ?Mr nom' Ir. NOR WOU LD NOT SIGN IT w LIE, TH CASA( I'OR- TER, WOULD GIVE HIM ALL HUNTINGDON FOR DOING SO; there upon he the said David R. Porter, refused to pay deponent any money. unless he would logn the certi . ficate—lo which the deponent replied, that although n poor man, he was not to be bought by him nor any body else; and further Snith not.

I do hereby certify, that I was one of the Arbitrators wherein Samuel Sturgeon was plaintiff, and Patton and Porter defendants. Tho great length of time that has elaosed since that time, the particulars of which has escaped my recollection. So far I can re collect; that we met at different times and places. but NEVER MADE OUT AN A WARD. This is to the best of my belief, at this time. MAXWELL KINKEAD This is to certify, that I was on an arbi• ration between David R. Porter and Patton, defendants, and Samuel Sturgeon Plaintiff; We met and adjourned four different times. The last was in Huntingdon at the houso of Win. Simpson: we adjourned to meet again, and 7'HE BUSINESS WAS NEVER SETTLED—Porter taking or applying for the benefit of the Insolvent Law, before any award was fixed either way. This is to the best of my knowledge. JOHN STONEBRAKER Personally appeared before me one of the Justices in and for the county of Huntingdon, Samuel Sturgeon, who being duly sworn, deposoth and says. that the above are, cor rect and true copies of the certificates of Maxwell. Kinkead, and Jno. Stonebrakor, the surviving arbitrators in the suit, Slur• goon vs. Patton and Porter; and he further say that he was present at each meeting of the arbitrators, and that to the best of his knowledge and belief, no award was ever made. Befere me this S A ML. STURGEON. 29, June, 18:18. 71108. READ. And yet, in defiance of such an overwhelming exposure of dishonesty, the freemen—the honest freemen of the State are asked to support this some David R. Porter for the office of Chief Magistrate! It would be an insult to the honest yeomanry of the State to suppose for a moment that they would ever consent to elevate such a man to that post, whilst they have another choice—and that choke, an HONEST GERMAN FARMER, and a tried and worthy Governor. No, they will all rally to the Polls and vote for the Honest Farmer Governor.

PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS. Are undoubtedly entitled to distinction, hum much as many medianl practitioners, who have witnessed their efficacy, freely admit their corn. live powers and pre.eminout virtues; and that they should do no in opposition to their personal inter oat must be attributed to their candor or their un willingness to condemn them in the face of all oh serration and the testimony of thousands. The proprietor does not pretend that his Pills will cure all diseases, but he does say, and has Datil& ed the incredulous that in all diseases where a cathartic or un aperient Medicine is needed, if , used according to the directions for a fair period of time, they will effect a speedy and certain cure, and this much is placed beyond doubt by the tes timony and referencesot individuals already given to the public. PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS Are now regarded by those who have had an op portunity to decide upon their merits, as au ines. timabb PUBLIC BLESSING. More than two millions of boxes of those eel°. braced Pills have been sold in the United States since January, 1835. Dr. Peters has received upwards of FIFTEEN HUNDRED CERTIFICATES, all given in con sequence of the good done by his medicines; and it will at once be seen by this evidence that no remedy for the prevailing disuses of the Southern and Western stales has over been presented to the notice of the afflicted with stronger claims for their attention. Founded upon the surest and soundest of all principles, via. actual experiment, these Pills have been wonderfully successful in restoring the sick to health, and in spite of doubts and prejudices, the use of them In those parts of the country, which the proprietor has been able to supply, has beers rapidly extending. It is high ly encouraging to him that,among the listultholie who have been either personally benefitted by thorn, or have , witnessed their effects on others,are the names ofpany of the most respectable and Intelligent men in the South; who have cheerfully given their written testimony to that effect. Without .an exception in any age or country, no Medicine has spread with such rapidity arid given such universal satisfaction. Prepared by Jos. Priestly Peters, M. D.

ITT is considered of great importance for the public to know the hollowing facts : About four yours ago, Solomon Hays, the per eon to whom tho celebrated Dr. Gridley had, on his death bed, imparted the secret of making a liniment to cure the Piles, authorized it to ho put up and sold under tho name of Hays' Lini ment, and enjoined that all who would use one bottle for the Piles, and return the empty bottle, should have the price refunded. Since that trine, upwards of fitly thousand bot! ties have been sold, out of which, not ten have been returned, and those only because the pore sons did not use it properly such wonderful success, probably, never attended any other arti cle. It is now determined by the proprietor, that the public shall be made more fully acquainted with its virtues, so that those suffering with that dreadful complaint may avail themselves of its use. There are many thousand certificates of the most respectable and authentic character,many of which may be examined whore the article is sold. It is used as an external application, and for many other complaints enumerated in the wrap. per, is considered remarkably effective ; but for the Plum it has no equal, and the agents are now bound to refund In all cases whore itdoes not cure. It is being used in Hospitals in our principal cities with great effect. No Plinioiv.—This extraordinary chemical composition, the re, tilt of icience and the inven tion ail Moto ated medical man, the introduction of which to the public was invested with the so. tonality of a deuth.bod bequest, has since gained a reputation unparalleled, fully sustaining the correctness of the lamented Dr Gridley's last confoNsion, that "he dared not die without:giving to posterity the benefit of his knos lodge Oil this subject," and be therein:li bequeathed to his friend and attendant S.
