STAR * REPUBLICAN BANNER, OMITTYRINTROH. PAWN. TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1838. Money Wanted! liCr The Editor of the Star would feel under great obligations to his friends if they would call and pay a part of their subscriptions, as he is greatly in need of money at this time. He hopes the call will not be neglected. The Bank Triumphant over the Government. 0:yIt is a melancholy, but true fact (says the York Republican) that the Bank of the United States has obtained a triumph over the administra tion at Washington. Roduoed to the utmost ex tremity for want errands, the President applied to Congress and obtained leave to sell the bonds held by the Government against the Bank, but not yet due, for the stock owned by the nation in the late National Bank. Biddle himself came forward and purchased ono of his own bonds for two millions of dollars; at par, and has made arrangements for It- gradating the other one for a similar sum in a man ner equally acceptable to the high contracting par ties. In consequence of this transaction, this "bankrupt Institution," as the loco locos have de lighted to call it, is now acting as tho fiscal agent of the national government. The Treasury De partment is .issuing drafts on - the United States Bank of Pennsylvania, and Nicholas Diddle and Levi Woodbury are communing and inter-com muning on pecuniary matters! The Day of Resumption. From the Philadelphia Inquirer of Aug. 14. The Philadelphia Celebration on the Banks of the Wiasahicon. The Philadelphia Festival of yesterday must have satisfied the expectations of the most sanguine. It was, indeed, a brilliant, spirit4itirring and joy-inspiring affair, and will long be remembered by the friends of Pennsylvania. The rain ofSaturday refresh ened the earth, as well as the verdure and surrounding scenery; while the limpid wat:' era of the beautiful stream seemed to flow more freely and joyously than ever. Indeed, the spot, its associations, the object of the assembly, the vast concourse, numbering al most every age, sex and condition of life, formed together a spectacle calculated to gladden the heart of every republican, and elicit the exclamation—"this is, indeed, 'a favoured and a happy land!" We never re member to have witnessed more perfect unity of feeling, a more general demonstra tion of kindly sentiment, or a happier blend. ing of temperate conviviality, with a warm hearted love of country. All seemed gay, decorous and satisfied. All rejoiced in the proud position of the Key Stone State—all deprecated any further, emission of the odi ous and unpopular description of currency which-has so long been denounced and de rided throughout the countrr---all spoke in Warm and decided terms of the manly and straight forward course of Governor Ritner —all rejoiced in the happy consummation then and there celebrated—A GENERAL AND SATISFACTORY RESUMP. TION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS. was truly and emphatically a POPULAR FESTIVAL--a mingling of hands..and of hearts—a HARVEST HOME,such as had not been witnessed in this vicinity for years. The toasts were in excellent taste, and whenever the name of GOVERNOR RIT NER was mentioned, it elicited the liveliest bursts of approbation. A truly Pennsylvania spirit pervaded the whole proceedings; and it we: gratifying in no ordinary degree,to witness the cordiality with which hundreds of the farmers of the neighbouring country seemed to participate in the scene. There is no mistake in popu lar sentiment in this quarter. The people are with us in thousands and tens of thous ands, and will, on the second Tuesday of October, declare in terms too unequivocal to be misunderstood, that they are for RIP NER, RESUMPTION AND PENN SYLVANIA. From the U. 8. Gazette, tame date. Yesterday was a memorable day in this city, and, perhaps we may say, throghout the Union. The resumption of specie pay ments by the banks was without commotion, without injury to themselves and without in convenience to the mercantile part oU the community. Much anxiety bad been felt as to the effect which the resumption was to have upon the specie funds of the banks,and we accordingly took some pains to ascertain the state of business shortly before the time of closing the banks for the day; and we are happy to state that there was uot,in any of the banks where we inquired, the least reason for believing that any unkindness of feeling was indulged by the community.— The demands for specie were few and light, confined,as it was evident,to the wants which the community felt for change. The Bank of the United States, it was thought, would feel the presure upon the specie the moat severely, but even there, nothing was seen to lead any one to believe theta run was at tempted. The whole amount of specie paid out was abort of seventeen thousand dollars, of which between eight and nine thousand were for corporation notes,principally of the denomination of one dollar. The largest sum demanded was three hundred dollars, and nearly the whole amount paid out was in small sums of from one to Ten dollars. We heard in the course of the morning, that certain persons having a few dollars in U. S. Bank notes, demanded and received specie ther#or,which they took to the brok ers in the expectatits of gaining th ree per cent., and were mortified and astonished to learn that the very circumstance which en abled them to receive silver for their paper, rendered that paper a valuable as silver.— This probably checked a small run. It was reported yesterday morning, that large demands from New York were to be made upon the Philadelphia banks for spa. ctie. 'The domande came, and the United States Bank, in settlement of balances, gave the New Yorkers a check _upon Now York Air the whole antomit, say about half a• nnl- Bott , ---not a 'dollar of specie changed place. NV* emtatulato the community upon this elate ofthings. • Great Meetings of the People in favor of Ritner. aj.-We have before us the proceedings of a great many large and respectable meeting', recently held by the People in different Counties, in favor of the Fanner Governor. It is impossible to crowd them into our little sheet. We will, however, endeavor to notice some of them. BERKS COUNTY. This day two weeks ago was a proud-day for old Berks!• The Reading Journal states that the largest and most enthusiastic meeting ever hold in that county, was held, on the day specified. in Reading by the friends of the Farmer Governor. The People of old Berke KNOW that Rimer will be re-elected,and they are determined to have some share in nib glorious victory! The Journal says every township had Its representatives, all anima ted with the best confidence of success—and that the many changes that have taken place in favor of I Ritner warrants the assertion that at no distant day forks county will be redeemed and disenthralled from the shallow artificgsofdesigning demagogues! If Porter gets any majority in Berke, it will bo a mighty small one! DAUPHIN COUNTY. Our friends in this County have settled their ticket—a ticket worthy of the support of the hon est yeomanry of that county. Tho resolutions adopted by the meeting evince the right spirit, and on evidence that vsc•rotir will crown their efforts! So confident are our friends in Dauphin of success, that they are bet ting largely on giving the ticket upwards of 700 of a majority. Dauphin is not a "doubtful" coun ty, is tip Porter State Committee have designat ed her. She will do her duty, and give Ritner from 700 to 1200 of a majority! LEBANON COUNTY. Our friends in Lebanon aro also in the field,with an excellent ticket, settled by a full Convention, which adopted resolutions plainly indicative of what she will do on the Second Tuesday of Oc tober next. They say they have found in "Jo ' RrrsrEn, the Farmer Governor, a champion of Clue' rights, a friend to the Poor Man, an ar dent supporter of tho Constitution and of the "so-' premacy of the laws," and a firm, unflinching Pat riot, whose only aim has been the promotion of the interests of this great Commonwealth;" and ,that they cannot aid in the election of David R. Porter, the Sub-Treasury candidate—but deem It an imperative duty to our State, ourselves, and our posterity, to use all honorable means in opposing him, because wo sincerely believe him to be utter ly void of those traits of character which mark the 'Statesman; and dishonest in his private relations." The Courier speaks confidently of giving the old Farmer A LARGE MAJORITY in Lebanon. YORK COUNTY. On the 7th inst. the "LARGEST ASSEM BLAGE EVER COLLECTED IN YORK," was held by the friends of the Farmer Governor! THE PEOPLE (says the Republican) were there -,-they flocked in from every quarter of the Coun ty in numbers unequalled! York County will tell a far different tale, in October next, from what the Loco Focoa pretend to expect. Tho Porterites are already chop-fallen, and only endeavor to cheer their drooping spirits by bragging and boasting!-- The GERMAN FARMERS of York are not go ing to vote against their GERMAN BROTHER of Washington county. They know that Zer 131e1)1) Ritner ifi ber Mann, Z)er unfern etaat regieren Vann. and they will testify their respect for their honest German friend by casting their votes for him.— York will do her duty—and do it in such a man ner as will confound and astonish the Loco Foco Portorites! LANCASTER COUNTY. This County—the "Old Anti-Masonic Guard" also alive and actively engaged in the good work! After several spirited meetings in differ ent parts of the County, a general County meet ing was called, and on the 11th inst. the Loco Fo co Portorites of the Lodge were surprised and as tonished at the multitudes of the friends of Ritner, from all quarters of the County, with their coats off and sleeves rolled up. flocking into their good City! Little Boaz of the Intelligencer—that “clo quent" young man!—evaporated in a blaze of Poe try! and his -older brother, Ma-ha-bone, of the Journal, throw up his hands in despair at the ap pearance of such a concourse of Anti-Masons, and was really afraid of being Morganized! Orator Haldeman hid behind a post to avoid the aQua kers!" Ho couldn't "keep his eye on them!"— Still the crowd thickened,and by tho hour of meet ing, the Court-house was not large enough to con tain the friends of the Farmer Governor. They adjourned to an orchard close by, and adopted spirited and enthusiastic resolutions, expressive of their love for Ritner, honesty and tho Supremacy of the Laws; and their'opposition to Porter, dis honesty and Aristocracy.- Between TWO and THREE THOUSAND persons were in attend ance! The Old Guard" will give the Farmer Governor upwards of 9,000 of a majority! She never does things by halves! FRANKLIN COUNTY. Our friends in this county also held a large and respectable meeting on Tuesday evening last, and adopted some most excellent resolutions— calling on all the friends of a sound currency and specie payments, to the activity of trade and com merce and business, and the restoration of credit and confidence, the prosperity of the country and the independence of the state government, to lay aside small matters of difference of opinion and unite heart and hand in promoting the election of JOSEPH RITNIR, and the defeat of the Van Buren candidate, David R. Porter. The Whig says, "In answer to the cry of the Porterites that there are "no changes" m favor of Ritner, we will just call their attention to the fact,' in 1833. the combined vote of Wolf and Muhlen burg gave 552 majority against Ritner, in Frank lin county. Will Porter get that majority this yearl—No one of his friends pretends to say that he will ;—so far, indeed, from this, the boldest of them will not bet that Ritzier will not have 200 majority in this county, while the general opinion is that his majority will range .from 3to 500. Is there then no change hero I" CUMBERLAND COUNTY. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends of Ritner and a hard currency was hold in Carlisle on Monday last, THE GLORIOUS THIRTEENTH ! About SIX HUNDRED persons were in attend.: ance, many of whom had not attended a political meeting for years ! After a spirited and eloquent address by ,Mr. Penrose, and the adoption of a mass of excellent resolutions, the meeting adjourn ed with three times three cheers for JOSEPH RITNER and a SPECIE CURRENCY ! ,The Herald says, "Lot our friends but do their duty, and Cumberland is safe for Joseph Ritzier by A TRIUMPHANT MAJORITY!" 0:7-The prospects from Perry, Bedford, Wash ington, Beaver, Union, Bradford, Northampton and other Counties are quite as cheering every. where the right spirit is prevailing. Throughout the State our friends are active and confident of success by a large majority. The Editor of the United States Gazette thus speaks of the prospects of Either in Counties visited recently by ktm: Prospects—ahead. We have sojourned for a few days in the principal towns of Berke and of Schuylkill counties, and in that time have associated much with gentlemen of both political par. tics, in these counties and from the counties in the vicinity—and wo-found,that the cause of Van Buren-ism was daily loosing adher. ents,who made known their change of spin. ions, hy avowing their determination to vote for Joseph Ritner for Governor, and for the Anti-Van Buren county and district tickets. The extent of these conversions far exceed our most sanguine expectations, and served to give us hopes of results in Becks and Schuylkill, that we had not before indulged. Lot us not bo mistaken—we do not mean that our readers shall infer that we have im bibed an opinion that a majority of votes of these two counties, or either of them is to be given to Mr. Ritner, much as we should desire; we are not prepared to expect such a consummation—at least in Berks. But the majorities calculated upon in these two counties by the Sub-Treasury men, must melt down before the warmth of truth to such an insignificant number, as to be a matter of lamentation rather than of rejoicing to our opponents. In Schuylkill county an impor tant portion of the Anti Van Buren ticket will succeed without doubt; we have already stated that our ()Pinions are founded on re ports and personal knowledge of actual changes—and we ought to.add, upon obser vations of tho zeal and perseverance of those who have undertaken to conduct the canvass, and take a lead in the important work—to this zeal and this perseverance do we look for a realization of our anticpations—and never have we seen good principlosand cheer ing hopes more effective,than in the case of our co-partizans of forks and Schuylkill_ ono half the exertions in the other counties of the state,would give Mr. Ritner a major ity of Twenty Thousand on the second Tues day of October.—United States Gazette. Undeniable Proof—Stone. breaker's .61Ilidavit. (UWhen David 11. Porter applied for the ben efit of the Insolvent Laws, ho. took the following oath: "I, DAVID R. PORTF3I. do swear, that I will de. liver up and transfer to my trustee or trustees, for the use of my creditors, ali my property that I have or claim any title to or interest in at this time,ond all debts. rights, and claims which I have at this time, or that 1 am in any respect entitled to, in pos. session, reversion, or remainder; and that I have not directly or indirectly at any time, given, sold, conveyed, or disposed of, or intrusted any part of my property, rights, or claims to any person where. by to defraud my creditors or any of them, or to secure, receive or expect any prnfit, benefit or ad. vantage thereby." "SO HELP ME GOD!" Now road tiro following affidavit of Mr. Stone. broker: Huntingdon County, as. Personally appeared before me, the sub scriber, a Justice of the Peace, in and for said county, John H. Stonsbreaket, and•on his solemn oath doth depose and say, that before David R. Porter took the benefit of the insolvent laws, Thomas M. Owens, and his father John Stonebreaker, were bail for Porter sixteen hundred dollars. That short ly before he filed his petition for the benefit. of the insolvent laws, Porter having securedl Owens for his half of the bail money, out of the bonds • given for a tract of land in the western part of the State, which he (Porter) sold' for two or three thousand dollars; brought the balance of the bonds, and anoth er bond of about five hundred dollars to John Stonebreaker, as well as the title of a tract of land in B eaver county, (I think,) and delivered the whole to my father, who was to secure himself, and keep the rest safe for Porter. Some time after Porter was discharged under the insolvent laws, he came to John Stonebreaker, and got from him the balance of the bonds,(after deduct ing the $BOO bail money) an the title for the tract of land, which land I afterwards heard him tell said John Stonebreaker, that he seld for about 84,500. The bonds and lands thus secreted and returned after hie discharge, amounted to more than five thousand dollars, none of which went into the hands of his trustees, but into his own. Some time after the above mentioned prop erty had been left with my father, Porter •brought the books of account of Patton and Porter, to Mr. Caldwell's tailor shop near our house, and got said John Stonebreaker to take theßin a bag and hide them in a barrel in the garret, where they were se creted for several years, Porter occasionally calling to examine them and draw off ac counts. Porter finally took them away in a bag some years afterwards. I resided with my father during all the time of the above transactions, and knew them well, having often seen the bonds and deeds. My broth er Samuel also, I think, must know the same facts, as he and I have often talked about Porter's secreting his property-when he took the benefit of the insolvent laws. J. H. STONEBREAKER.

Or Tell the Whole Truth The Porter editors (says the Pittsburg Gazette) have been glorying not a little over a certificate of Thomas M. Owen; in which ho informs the pub. lic that David R. Porter placed the title papers of the land sold to Kiddo and Russell in the hands of Stonebraker and Owens as security, on account of their hiving become his bail for 1600 dollars, and that they had authorized him to make sale of the land, and collect the money for their use. As Mr. Owens resides in Birmingham, Huntingdon county, we thought it somewhat strange that he should not have noticed, just while his band MB in, the oft repeated assertion of the Huntingdon Journal, that Porter had placed in their hands deeds and other important papers to the amount of several Manama., of dollars, many or all of which the editor of the Journal said ho knew had been returned to Porter after ho had taken the benefit of the insolvent lows. The Journal receiv. ell this morning thus reminds Mr. Owens of his omission. THE WHOLE TRUTH. "Would it not be as well for Mr. Thom as Owens "an elder in the Presbyterian church," to keep his name out of tho papers in the way of certifying. Thomas Owens knows that himself and John Stonebrakor (one or both) received from the hands of David R. Porter some thousands of dollars on the pretention that it was as security for the sum that they went bail for, and which was given BACK into PORTER'S HANDS. If Thomas Owens did not hold the Bonds, he know they wore hold; and if Thomas Owens will deny this, we will prove by the oath of a good man that such was the fact—even if Owens did not know it. Tell the whole truth, Mr. Owens." The Old Farmer in the Field. ci:j•Tho following taken from the Miltonian, shows that Gov. RITSER has not forgotten how to handle a cradle, scythe or rake, although ho has, like Cincinnatus, been called from the plough to govern the State. HARVESTINO.—A Hoax upon our Dutch Governor---During the present harvest, Gov. Ritner visited many fields whero the Indus. trims hiboror was employed. In one, there wore several Porter mon ; thoy rather insulted his Excollonoy, offered him their cradles, ac., calling him a farmer, and wished to know whether ho could take his hand in cutting down the grain. Old Joo pulled off his coat and jacket, and than sot in for a through. Tho loader led, as usual five well manned cradlos following : when the party come up to tho bottle the leader halted. The Governor cries out—•'No, boys, wo go anoth• or through before wo drink." Tho others carried on the joke. Boforo the next through was half done the loader gavo out, and Old Joo, (our Dutch Farmer Governor) led the party round to the bot. tlo whore all regaled thomsolves and expressed groat satisfaction at having the honor to handle a cradle along side of the Governor of Ponnoylva. nia, although stigmatized by some as a Black Dutch Hog. MORE IrsVLTs!—Tho loco focos persis in their scoffs at Gov. Ritner's German,par outage, person and accent. Not content with assailing his house at midnight, and calling him a "Dutch Flog" and "Old Sour Crout, they have published a book in which they attempt to ridicule his appearance and lan. gunge. This they have sent emissaries through the state to sell and circulate. It is filled with plates caricaturing the Governor's person—contains a parcel of false letters in broken English represented to have been written by the Governor, and abounds in ridicule of his German origin. A more dis graceful piece of conduct and a more unjus tifiable method of electioneering we have never witnessed; but it will do the loco feces no good. The German farmers will resent all such insults to thorn and their native State by depositing their votes for JOSEPH RIT NER—the man through whom such outrages have been offered to them.[ Y. Republican. Porter Decency! The Milton Advocate mentions tho arrival in that place of Governor Ritner, and the general res pect extended towards him by the citizens gener ally. But it gives a different account of affairs in Delfonto. It says:— "Insult and abuse was heaped upon him when he arrived in Belfonte. Here he put up at the public house of a Mr. Williams, a supporter of David R. Porter, and retired to rest. About 12 o'clock at night a number of Portermen collected in front of the hotel, and commenced their shameful operations by GROANING and BELLOWING like a herd of mad horned cattle. They continu ed their noise until the landlord, unable to suffer it any longer, arose, went out and re monstrated with the mob, but all to no pur pose. They persisted in their outrages,and after some time erected a long pole in front of the house, with a flag on which was in scribed "Porter and Democracy." Thus they continued their brutal outrages until their malignity was satiated, when they re tired and permitted the Governor and others in the house to enjoy an hour's sleep! It is due to Mr. Williams to say that although unsuccessful,he did all in his power to quiet the mob, and in order that the governor should not be made fully acquainted with the outrages 9f his opponents by seeing the pole erect in the morning, he had it cut down be fore daylight. The 'Royal Family' of Trea sury suckers. David - R. Porter is a member of the "Royal Family" of Porters who have re. ceived more money from the state at differ ent times, than any other family. His father, Andrew Porter, was survey or General about five years, at $l6OO per annum, and thus received of the public mo• neys $B,OOO. His brother, George B. Porter, was three years clerk in the land office, at $l,OOO per annum; he was also three years clerk of the House of Representatives, at $1,200 per an num; also fourteen years Brigade Inspector, at $5OO per annum; also three years adju tant General of Pennsylvania at 8300 per annum; also one year member of the House of Representatives (while he held the two last offices) at $4OO, also five years'Deputy Attorney for the United States at $2,000 per annum; abe three years Prothonotary of Lancaster county at $5,000 per annum; al so three years Governor of the Territory of Michigan, at $5,000 per annum, and other perquistes appertaining to the office of Gov ernor, amounting to about $2,000 per an• num. Making his receipts of the public moneys at different times, $55,000. His brother, Robert Porter, was twenty two years ajudge in the district of Berke, Northamption and Lehigh counties, at $l,- 600 per annum, and received of the public monies $35,200; to which add mileage &c. and his sum from the public funds will be found to be about $40,000, His brother James M. Porter, was six years Deputy Attorney General of North- ampton county at $4OO per annum; he was also a member of the reform Convention,and in that capacity drew_ about 700; making his receipts from the public funds $3,100. The "Royal family" it will be seen from the above has always been fond of and fed on—TREASURY PAI'!! But that of David R.? Look at the figures: TWELVE YEARS Prothonotary,Register, Recorder,and Clerk of the several courts of Huntingdon county, at 86,000 per annum; Four years an automaton member of the Legislature at $4OO per annum; Making the receipts of David R. Porter, from the public purse,seventy three thousand six hundred dollars. But we must not forgot that delicate blos som, David R. Porter's nephew, Andrew Porter Wilson, who was six years Deputy Attorney General for Huntingdon county at 8400 per annum; making his share $2,400. To sum up the whole, it will be found, that the different members of the "Royal Family" have received for the offices they have held, the enormous sum of $1P8,000!! We are indebted to our spirited friend of the Lancaster Union for some of the above items. They are all authentic, and if any. thing too low, Let the people bear in mind that the Porter "Royal Family" have lived on office all their lives, and that without merit too.—Pennsylvania Intelligencer.

Admitted gains-- Adams Allegheny Beaver Bradford Columbia Crawford Cumberland Delaware Erie Franklin Northumberland Philadelphia city and co In 1835 the united vote of Wolf and MuWen. berg was 106,390, and Gov.

Then add the above 5,130 to Mr. Ritner's vote in '3s—as it is a gain; it counts so many offend then so many on—'and his vote would be 99,153.

A more popular ticket could not have been selected, and it will receive a much greater support than any ticket ever settled in the county—at least since we have been in it. slrichols , Circus.

Public .

Wo hope the latter will not neglect tho invita 4ion which has been so politely extended to them •by the Committee. If their candidate will bear comparison with ours, let them come forward and discuss hispretensions--show that he is honest and competent,and worthy the support of Pennsylvania 'freemen. Their Orators will receive an attentive hearing; but our word for it, the character of their candidate will not bear the touch-atone of ineea ligation ! His friends will go away discomfited, and those who vote on conscientious principles, will vote for the EUDIZA Govszcou, JOSEPH RITNER. If the friends of David R. Porter and Martin Van Buren aro not afraid to have the character and prin. ciples held by their candidates investigated, they will not neglect this invitation; they will be hap py to accept and improve it. If they neglect it, the people will know that their cause is rotten and indefensible, and the honest and upright will desert their party. And lot them not aay,that they would meet at a disadvantage at a meeting called by their opponents: wirer !MALL RAVE FAIR PLAY COURTEOUS TREATMENT; and, as we have heard that they aro shortly to hold a County meeting, let them extend the same civility to us. Out EMENDS WILL ACCEPT IT WITII PLEASURE, :cah oot attempting to make any terms as to their treatment. They aro anxious to explain their principles, NOT TO THEIR PARTY FRIENDS ALONE, BUT TO THE WHOLE PEOPLE; and they would hail such an opportunity as a special fever. We hope the friends of Porter and Van Buren will not shrink from an exhibition of their principles when thus politely invited and pressed to do so. Such a course would look like the fear that they hare the wrong side! The Prospect. PC:PThe Committee of Correspondence of this County, sometime ago, addressed letters to the several counties of the' Commonwealth, for information respecting the prospects of the rival candidates for Governor. To these letters, an swers have been received from some thirty or thirty-fire counties; and if the information con .„,e--..:tained 4114'h: ran be at all relied on, the pros.. e Ao - oto of JO.iett Ityrxxa are most cheering, and the rnajorily - Torhim promises to be the largest ever received - by any Governor of this Common ' vtealth. 'The bragging and betting system adopted by a despairing party, will have no influence on the honest yeomanry of the State. They are rallying en masse in favor of the Farmer Governor. The meetings called throughout the State in favor of our honest Chief Magistrate, furnish the most decisive evidence of his popularity with the industrious classes of the community. At these meetings, the hard-banded, honest-hearted Farmer and Mechanic and their sons, are to be found par. ticipating, and manifesting an interest that speaks louder than language in favor of Joseph Ritner. These meetings are attended in crowds, by hun dreds and thousands, while the Porter meetings are for the most part miserable failures, composed' of a few hungry office-seekers and cri?pled and broken.down politicians "who have been weighed" by the People in the political "balance, and found wanting!" The feeling, riverywhere, is decidedly in favor of him who is emphatically THE PEO. j'LE'S GOVERNOR ! AtianyinLY, Alas, Poor Yorick: (cyDavid R. Potter, the Rorar.

One of the above objections might be over looked, but combined, they are too bad to leave the shadow of an excuse for any honest man to support him: therefore, he is being abandoned by the people in crowds!

IT HAS BEEN AGAIDI CONTINUED, AT THE INSTANCE OF PORTER, who will not coma into court to MEET HIS CREDIT ORS. We give below a letter from Huntingdon, from which we have karnnl4 tt above, and learn also, that the suit isaiffit, Campbell, for writing (as was alleged,) ik t liiiicck m- to Union county, exposing the dishonesty of 'David R. Porter, was also PUT OFF by the court, AT THE PRAY ER OF PORTER'S COUNSEL, who plead the shallow pretext that «he mold not get the Idler .?" This last suit had been instituted by Porter for political elect, and WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE TRIED, or the letter would have been kept by his counsel, and «Porter the dodger" would not have “DODGED" the law !—a law which he has ...dodged - on more Than one occa sion !! We ask attention to the letter : HUNTINGDON, August 14, 1838. "DEAR Sias—ln the case of the complaint of David R. Porter against Robert Campbell, for a libel, an appheation was made this morning by Mr. Potter on behalf of the eoniplainant„ to the Court of Quarter Scotian; to have the case CON TINUED to the next session of the court. The reason assigned by the counsel employed to con. duct the prosecution, was. they had not tie letter containing the Melons offence, nor even a copy of it, upon which to frame an indictment; and that they had endeavored to procure it without success. The counsel of Mr. Campbell (Mr. Miles) on the other hand, orrosma the putting of it oil; on the grounds that he (the defenthint) had bean at eon siderablo trouble and expense in preparing for the trial, and that proper diligence had not been used on the part of the prosecutor for procuring the letter. But the court, considering that the erose. cutor's counsel had shown sufficient cause. bound over the defendant by recognizance, to the next court, to answer, he. "Shortly after, the'caso to the Common - Pleas, of DAVID M'MURTRIE vs. DAVID R. POR TER, surviving partner of E. 11. Patton, being called up, in order for trial, Mr. Bell, the defend ant's counsel, moved the court for a continuance of the case, for the reason that the dofondant was not prepared for his trial. Tho plaintiff's coun sel opposed the motion for continuance, tied per curiam, the cause was continued at the coat of the defendant. Very respectfully, yours &c, From the Bradford Argus. The Friend of Education. The following communication has been furnish ed us by that eminent friend and advocate of uni versal education, Tyrannous Brovons, President of tho Board of Canal Commissioners. To the efforts and tho eloquence of Mr. Stevens in the Legislature, the people of Pennsylvania. aro in debted for the system of Common Schools, which is fast becoming the greatest pride, as it will bo hereafter the greatest glory of the State. If, as Canal Com Missioner, ho can succeed in establish ing Schools among the children of the laborers on the Canal, ho will have done another lasting bene fit to his fellow mon. Such a proposition could minute only from the purest philanthropy, and those to whom it appeals, we trust will feel some. thing of the spirit of the author, and in that spirit, attempt the accomplishment of so benevolent an object. In traversing the Public works, the Canal Commissioners have seen with regret, the great want of literary and moral instruction, among the children of the hamar& They are numerous and much exposed to unhappy influences. If left without mental and mor al culture, they are destined to bring evil upon community, misery upon themselves, and shame upon their parents. fr'rightlky educated, they may become ornaments of society, and the comfort and stay -of their friends. Many of them are distant from public schools, and their parents are unable to provide them with suitable instruction. To the contractors w ho s are dealing in large sums of money, a monthly or quarterly con tribution, sufficient to employ competent fe male teachers to instruct them all, would be but.an unregarded trifle. It is therefore respectfully suggested to the contractors on all the Public works, when the children of the laborers are not within convenient dis tance of free schools, to establish tempora; ry schools for their instruction. When the work is so scattered or light as not to afford other schools, Sunday schools at least might be provided. No doubt, if the .suggestion were made to them, the workmen would be willing to allow the contractors to retain a small monthly sum to defray the expenseof occasional religious instruction ; towards which it is not doubted the contractors would be willing to contribute liberally. If clergymen were thus induced to visit the lines, much good might be done, especially if no reguard were paid to sects, except to procure those whose views and feelings were in conformity with the religious edu cation of the laborers. The board are aware That they possess no legal authority to make or enforce the arrangements above specified ; but they have deemed it their duty to submit the recommendation to the I judgment and liberalitywiffthe contractors , THADDEUS STEVENS.
