STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER, OEIVINIIMIRGH. PENN• TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1838. GOV. BHULZE. An Interesting and Important Letter. TEE OCTOBER ELECTION. [PROM TUE FIIILADELPIIIk INQUIRER.] We invite attention to the following interest. ing and important letter from the pen of that sturdy patriot and unwavering democrat, Joan ANDREW SUIILZE• It is in reply to a communi cation addressed him by a number of our most respectable citizens, and alludes, as will be per. calved, to the political struggle about to take place in Pennsylvania. It cannot but produce a pow erful sensation, especially among the old demo,. crate of this Commonwealth, who twice contribut ed to the election of its author to tho highest honour of the Key-Stone State. and who know that a citizen retired from public life and anxious only for the welfare of his country, could have no other motive than patriotism,—no other object than the "greatest good of the greatest number," in thus deliberately expressing his sentiments upon tho eve of an important political struggle. The testimony of John Andrew Shulze, at such a cri. Dia, is indeed entitled to the consideraticin of every true-hearted Pennsylvanian. Ile has no personal feelings to gratify,—no mortified vanity to in dulge,—no patron at Washington to fawn before and kneel to. His views aro those of a fearless freeman,—a patriot who loves Pennsylvania, and is anxious for her honour, independence and pros perity. We commend the letter to general Litton. tier): It is frank, fearless and to the purpose. Montoursrille, Lycoming County, August 29, 1838. Fellow Citizens—Before the receipt o your letter I had heard that it had been rep resented that I was opposed to the re-elec tion of Governor Ritner, and I had been re quested to make known my opinion. An un willingness to obtrude myself upon public at. tention, and a fear that I might be thought presumptuous, prevented me from publishing my opinions in any other way than by mak ing them known to such of my neighbours or friends as , called on me for that purpose. They all know that I have never hesitated to express a preference for Joseph Ritner over David R. Porter. I have no unkind feelings or personal unfriendliness towards Mr. Porter. lam wholly influenced in my opposition to him, by public principles. He is nominated and advocated b} those who declare they have entire confidence in the principlep, patriotism and talents of Mr. President Van Buren, while I have no con fidence in the qualities thus attributed to Mr. Van Buren. I have never seen any evidence that Mr. Van Buren has any fixed principles, any patriotism or talents. I well remember in the war of 7812, that Mr. Van Buren was opposed to the election of the wise, the gifted, and the patriotic James Madison, and was strongly in favor of De Witt Clinton, who was "The Peace Party" candidate. I know nothing of Mr. Van ' Buren calculated to inspire confidence. He has trod too exactly in the "steps of his pre decessor," and seems disposed, by his sub treasury scheme, to dip a little deeper into the pockets of the people. If, by any possi ble contrivance or misrepresentation, Penn aylvanin should elect Mr. Porter Governor, then would it be blazoned abroad that the people of this State were in favor of the re election of Mr. Van Buren, and a cloud deep and dark would overshadow the now bright prospects of the democrats throughout the United States. For these and many other reasons, it shall be my pleasure, as I believe it to be my duty, to do all in my power to insure the re-election of Governor Ritner. I feel assured that the desire to sustain our good old Constitution will bring thousands snore to the polls than ever yet voted at any election, and I have entire confidence that the work of the good men of the Revolution will not be laid aside, to take up and adopt the piece of patchwork which was put to gether by the fate generally condemned Convention. The Germans of Pennsylva• nia will hold fast what they know to be good. They know the honesty and straight for ward policy of Joseph Ritzier, and they will support him. They know he is a good Pennsylvanian, and that with economy and care, he watches over the interests of the State and the people. They will not cast away what they hate tested, what they KNOW to be good, to try experiments with constitutions or with men, which may turn out to be good for nothing. My correspon• dente has been extensive, and my other op portunities good, AND I DO ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN THE RE•ELECTION OF GOVERNOR RITNER. 1 have said more than I intended, but perhaps not more than is necessary to give you a clear idea of the principles which in fluence my conduct, and give me such con fident hope. The triumph will assuredly be followed by one still more important, the election of a genuine democratic President in 1840. Your letter of the 18th iustant only reached me yesterday. I have com plied with your wishes, and communicated my views on the question now agitating the State, with candour, and my entire con viction. With much respect, 1 remain, Your obedient servant, J. A.NDREW SHULZE. To John L: Wolf, J. Washington Tyson. Joel Cook, Geo. R. Smith, Esqrs. From the Harrisburg Intelligencer. Porter's Fraudulent Insol. veneg. Among all her wise and humane laws, Pennsylvania boasts none more just than that which protects the honest but unfortunate man from life imprisonment for debt. That law enables him on giving up, honestly, his property to his creditors, and disclosing his hall situation did the cause of his loss, to ap ply his subsequent time and industry to the support of his family, instead of pining in a goal. It protects him in the enjoyment of his liberty,and permits him to retain for the benefit of himaell,his wife and children,such articles of furniture as are requisite to their o)lttkort and imbsistence. The intention of this wise anti merciful kw, is to enable the debtor. 1. To support himself and family, and 9. To pay off debt.. Incurred before hie insolvency, by tbc unre strained exertions of hts Industry afterwards. Taking the benefit ofthe acts of insolvency is, therefore, no disgrace to the unfortunate insolvent. On the contrary, it would be difficult to imagine any thing more noble than the spectacle every *year presented by hundreds of citizens,who having become in solvent through misfortune, take refuge un der the humane laws, of the State made for their protection, and afterwards discharge those debts, and payment of which could not be compelled by process of law. These men are honors to the State; and, if such an incident could be found in the his tory of a candidate for Governor, it would surely form a strong claim in his favor; the honesty of such an insolvent being above all suspicion. DA V 1 D R. PORTER is a candidate for the office of Governor; an office in this state, requiring the most unsullied honesty, the most perfect good faith end the most unwa vering determination in support of right,and in opposition to wrong. D. R. PORTER has taken the benefit of the insolvent laws; but he has not come out of this trial of honesty with those clean hands which may proudly be mired before his fel low citizens in all the consciousness of pro bity and truth. That D. R. PORTER is not the man to whose keeping the rights,the honor,the wel fare and interests of this great state may be, •vith safety, entrusted, will appear from the following short statement of facts: 1. He tor'k the oath of an insolvent,call ing on God to witness that he had made a full disclosure, for the good of his creditors, all his property, claims and demands of eve ry kind whatsoever. 2. A short time before he took this fear ful oath, he concealed bonds, accounts hooks and other property to the amount of about $5,000. 3. After he was discharged as an insol vent on his oath, he recovered money due BEFORE his insolvency on the said bonds, accounts, dm., and applied it to his own use. thus defrauding his honest and unsuspecting creditors. 4. Since he was discharged he has re fused to pay just debts contracted before his insolvency, though he is amply able to do so, and though suits have been brought for their recovery. 5. Among his creditors was one, a poor man,who had labored himself and employed others to labor for D. R. Porter and his partner, to the amount of 8700. The loss of this sum compelled this man to seek pro tection in the insolvent laws of his country. But unlike D. R. Porter, he has since paid his debts. And, lately, when the grinding avarice of D. R. Porter compelled him to consent to take 8180 dollars in full for his claim of 8700, payment was even then re fused, because this poor mar, would not give his oppressor a CERTIFICATE OF HON ESTY, as well as a receipt In full. 6. D. R. Porter was not only dishonest enough thus to defraud his creditors, but mean enough to sneak into a garret to con sult his concealed horde and draw olFac counts for collection, the proceeds of which, he, and not his creditors, received. 7. While D. R. Porter was prothonotary of Huntingdon county, and after he took the benefit, the schedule of his property, which was the only list or description of it on re cord, DISAPPEARED FROM THE OF FICE OF- W HICH HE HAD CHARGE, thus leaving his creditors without clue to discover the amount or situation of it, and depriving the adverse party in a suit in which he is concerned, of a paper most material to the merits of the case. Kr WE CAN PROVE THE FOREGOING TRUE IN A COURT OF JUSTICE. From the Lancaster Examiner. CONFESSIONS OF THE ENEMY. The American Sentinel—a leading Porter paper of Philadelphia—is becoming alarmed at the ruin ous and disorganizing doctrines advocated by ma ny of the leaders of the Loco Foco Porter party.— The following brief paragraphs arc cupid from that paper of Saturday last:— Can it be that there exists in our good city men professing to be democrats and friends of their country, who seek,under the cloak of ultra Fanny Vrights principles, to destroy the party which has afforded them the portion of respectability they possess? 1 am afraid so. "I am truly afraid that there is a system of the DEEPEST, VILEST TREACH ERY TOWARDS THE GOOD ORDER AND WELFARE OF OUR INSTITU .. . TIONS about to be attempted by some of our leading men." Freemen of Pennsylvania! read the above para graphs, copied from one of the leading and most respectable of the Porter papers of the State. can yon—will you any longer support men who are, according to their own confessions, guilty of the 'deepest, vilest treachery towards the good order and welfare of our best instiluficmar liCrSEvea of the delegates who were appointed to represent Huntingdon county in the Porter Convention held at Harrisburg on the 4th ofJuly last, have abandoned Por ter and will support Gov. Ritner• The rea sons they assign for this change in their political couris3 are, "the dark stains on the moral character of David It. Porter," and the belief they entertain that his election would contribute much to the support of the Sub• Treasury scheme. They further say they will not support a man "who will not pay his honest debts."l . /Vorrutown Freep. The American Sentinel, in the course of an article adverse to the new Constitution says,—"lnstead of making a few prudent and judicious alterations which seemed to be desired by a portion of the citizens,the Con vention changed nearly every feature of the Constitution, rendering uncertain and inse cure almost every provision that was deem ed valuable in the old Constitution, under which we have lived prosperously for near ly half a century. So disgusted were the people at the Convention and its doings.that had the election been held immediately af ter it closed, the amendments, as they are styled, could not have received a respecable vote;, and even now- the greatest -reliance of the friends of the alteration is on the apathy , of the great macs of the voters." 444'444444 From the Somerset Herald. David It. Porter's Moral and Political Character Illustrated. Ms. Enerort.—Through the kindness of a friend, I have been furnished with the above admirable delineations of David R. Porter's moral and political character. The tortuous and crooked courses of his vicious, profligate and abominable life, are here strikingly developed; and all that remains for me to do, is to explain as briefly as pos sible the meaning of these crooks and turns. No. 1 in the above cut, represents his start ing point in business, when he was left, by his lather, with a handsome fortune and fair prospects m lite. From No. 1, to No. 2, he has pursued a tolerably straight course, but at the latter named point; he has deviat ed from the path of moral rectitude. The offsett at No. 2, aptly illustrates his depar ture from the walks of decency, by the ke duction and ruin of Rebecca Beaty, with whom he afterwards lived and eventually abandoned, after advising her to marry a NEGRO. After having left the path of vir tue and honesty at this point, he does not again return to it, but keeps on in the path of vice, gradually growing worse and worse, until he reaches the point of No. 3; at this place David R. Porter reaches the "climax of moral depravity ; it is here that ho fails, and takes the benefit of the act, with his property secreted--thus defrauding his creditors of their honest and just dues, and thus committing the awful crime of perjury. At this point in his course of life, ho is made to take a retrograde movement, for the pur pose of illustrating the manner in which he attempted to deceive the honest and unsus pecting citizens of Huntingdon county. After having transferred his property into the hands of his brother George, and Mr. John Stonebraker ; and after having had the books of the firm of Patton and Porter,' to prevent the poor laborers, who had toiled and sweated to enrich him, from receiving the money which they had so richly earn ed, he is made to retrograde for the pur. pose of showing his pretended poverty. At the point No. 4, he has again received into his hands, that property'which should have gone to pay his honest debts; and here, having grown rich, by fraud, rascali ty and perjury, he determined to turn poli tician. Now his course changes and his attention is turned to politics ; but before he proceeds far in his political course he en tertains some doubt as to which will be the strong party, accordingly he commences the operation of carrying water on both shoulders, by pretending to belong to both parties. At, No. 5, we fi nd him completely "the ass between two bundles of hay," so much so that he was actually chairman of both Adams and Jackson county commit tees. After that time, the Jackson interest predominates, and he deserts the friends of J. Q. Adams, and goes with the whole body of the Jackson party, for a national batik. No. 8, is •ntended to represent the period of time, when Gen. Jackson vetoed the U. S. Bank bill for which David R. Porter had gone, up to this time : but after the veto,' he suddenly wheels about, and travels to wards the point No. 7, in favor of a (amency exclusively metallic. In the mean time Gen. Jackson had retired from office, and Martin Van Buren had become his sums. sor ; and he, after "treading" for a short time 'in the footsteps of his illustrious pre- 1 decessor," turns about and issues Treasury Shinplasters. This idea is Shadowed forth by No. 7, when David R. Porter again wheeled to the right about, and goes with Van Buren for Shinplasters, Sub-Treasury and all, holding the doctrine that "Gold should be given to the officers and rags to , the people." No. P, is intended to repre sent the most brilliant period of this now rims individual's eventful career—no less a circumstance than his induction into office as Maj. Generalof the Pa. militia. Short ly after this, he ;vas elected to the Senate of Pennsylvania; when we find him at No. 9, supporting the mammoth improvement bill —a bill that would have increased the state debt many millions, had it not been for the prudence and foresight of Farmer Joe; and and the very next year, we find this same vacillating weather-cock, opposing at No. 10, a judicious improvement bill containing but two thirds of the appropriation contain ed in said bill and which was called for by the voice of the people. At No. 11, we find him before the people of Pennsylvania, as the candidate of the Locofoco party, for Governor of this great State; but we find him in a situation that no honest man will envy—we find him before the people with all the villany of his black course exposed— we find him hold up as an object of scorn and detestation to upright men, end we will find him after the second Tuesday of Octo ber, beaten by thirty thousand votes. The above cut and explanations are a faithful delineation of David R. Porter's siminsities through life; it is true many of his minor wanderings were omitted, but from the fore going the freemen of this State can see if it be safe to elect him Governor. The infuntu of D. R. Portee signed by himself! A self-convicted Perjurer; 0-When David R. Porter applied for the ben efit of the Insolvent Laws, ha took the following oath: "I, DAVID R. PORTER. do swear, that I will de. liver up and transfer to my trustee or trustees, for the use of my creditors, all my property that Have or claim any title to or interest in at this time,and all debts, rights, and claims which I have at this time, or that l am in aoy 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 properly, rights, or claims to any person where. by to defraud my creditors or any of them, or to secure, receive or expect any profit, benefit or ad vantage thereby." "SO HELP ME GOD!" (1.1 . t has been proved by the oath of the Stone breakers, the statement of Allison and others, that David R. Porter, after taking the above Oath, CONCEALED LAND,•BONDS AND OTH ER EVIDENCES OF PROPERTY TO THE AMOUNT OF 0:1. SEVERAL THOUSAND .DOLLARS. The testimony of these men is sus tained by the following receipt in the hand wri ting of David IL Porter himself, a PAC SIMILE of which, taken from the original, is given below: cicyThis receipt was given by David R. Porter for money received on a bond given to him by Kid do and Russel, dated the 4th of December 1818, for $333 33, as part payment for a tract of land; which bond was assigned to John Stonebrakor by Porter when ho took the benefit, and by Stone broker, under Porter's direction to John Davis,who collected the money and paid it over to Porter, who thus concealed it from his honest and suffering creditors, many of which were poor men that de pended upon their own labor for the support of their families. No man can dispute the above evi dence of Porter's infamy and perjury, SEALED BY HIS OWN HAND. From the Harrisburg Chronicle. TO THE PUBLIC. The undersigned, on the 18th inst., pub- licly corrected certain misstatemmts rela tive to the "State Debt" of Pennsylvania, r contained in a political address, but attempt. ed to be accredited by the signature of the State Treasurer. In reviewing the perver sions and misrepresentations of that docu ment, they supposed, because such is the usual practice, that the chairman of the coin. mittee from which it emanated was its au thor. That this was the case with regard to that portion of it examined by them, ap peared to be the more probable, inasmuch, as it related almost exclusively to the opera. tions of the State Treasury of which the chairman of the committee has charge. Him, therefore, they held responsible. To him, as a public officer, they as public offi• cells applied their remarks. From him they expected an official reply, if one could be given and sustained. The undersigned have since seen a most singular paper purporting to be a reply, but which to their surprise, does not come from the State Treasurer, but from his commit/re. His name it is true, is appended to it, but, as he himself expressly and separately, over his own signature raises a distinction be tween Daniel Sturgeon, acting as chairman of a political committee, and as State 'Treas urer, and declines to meet the undersigned in the latter capacity, they, of course, can not consent to continue the controversy. He has avowed his double character, and claimed the license of a more political elec tioneerer. They allow it to him in its broad eat sense. They are satisfied they have stripped him of the cloak of official sanctity in which the unfounded assertions, and un warranted conclusions of the committee were attempted to be palmed off. These now appear in their true diameter. The public are also aware that an opportunity has been afforded officially to substantiate the statements of the "address," and that it has been declined. This is enoue.h. The public will draw their own conclusions. To that test the assertions of the committee are left. THO. H. BURROWES. Sec'y of the Commonwealth. NATA. P. HOBA RT. Aud. Genii.

But having observed the policy pursued by Governor Ritner in the admin istration of the State government for the last two years and an half—that under his administration a Bankrupt Treasury was replenished; an onerous State Tax repealed; an expensive System of Pub lic Improvements rendered productive; the unau thorized interference of the General Government, in State affairs resisted; a steady opposition to its ruinous °experiments" upon the currency of the Country maintained—for these reasons, together, with the opposition of Gov. Ritner to the Sub- Treasury Scheme; the firmness ho has exhibited in standing up for the interests of the people, against acts of the Legislature calculated to impose heavy public burthens, by the exercise of the Veto power, we are constrained to say, that in our esti mation he deserves the suppoit of every Pennsyl vania Freeman, and shall have ours at the election in October next. kt M.

These gentlemen are all highly respectable—many of them, in point of talents, political influence and moral standing, ranking second to none in the County; and it was owing to their influence, in a great measure, that the majority of Gov. Ritner was reduced so low at the election in 1835. Some of these gentlemen were original suppor ters of Gen. Jackson, hut abandoned him when the measures of his administration began to strike at the root of the prosperity of the Country and the stability of our Free Institutions. Others, namely, Messrs. Cooper, Smith, Kurtz, etc., were the steady opponents of the administration of Gen. Jackson and his successor, Martin Van Buren,and all their ruinous oetperiments," but who suppor ted Mr. Muhlenberg in 1835 and cast their votes in his favor. These gentlemen arc now the firm, active and efficient supporters of our present Chief Magistrate. The list of names which we this day publish does not contain a tithe of those who supported Wolf and Muhlenberg in 1835 and who are now active and zealous in promoting the election of Joseph Ritner. It is in the townships in the County districts where the changes have been the most numerous. azi- Would it not be well for our friends in Me several townships to forward us a list of this kind for publication? The Van Bu ren and Portir party will then see that it is aban doned by all that it ever possessed of intelligence, worth or patriotism. Freemen, be on your guard against Lying Knaves! gzi-As usual, before every election, we find it necessary to caution honest men against the false hoods of the Masonic Porter party. They habitu ally produce false letters, certificates and affidavits just before the election, containing Me most WIL FUL and UNDLUSIIINO LIES Mat hardened and experienced depravity can invent! Such was the "Forged Letter" and John Hill's (the horse-thief's) affidavit in the fall of 1835.-- Such are the attempts now making to defeat the "Old Farmer." Witness the certificates of the lazy and worthless bosses on the public works who hare been discharged because they would not at tend to their business, but kept the industrious la borers from work. Such arc the lying certificates in the Harrisburg Reporter about the State bosses at Clark's Ferry dam and locks discharging Porter democrats and employing negroes! co-The truth is, the Slate has not a single boss or foreman on either of those works; nor does the State Agents employ a single laborer on them!., Such is the shameless impudence of their lies!!! Bat we must expect a shower of the same impo sitions until after the election. .We have only to (=lion the people against believing a word of all I they say; for ten chances to one, there will not be a word of truth In all of it. . . Porter's -Trial. jOn our first page will be found several arti cles in reference to the suits Porter had put off at the Huntingdon County August Court. The snit between Porter and Campbell, Por ter should have had tried by all means. If be felt himself innocent of the charges brought against him, then was the time to disprove them, as that was the only opportunity ho had of doing so until after the election. He excuses himself on ac. count of not being able to procure the original copy of the letter or article published ! This was a poor excuse. It was published in a paper right under his nose, and the author never denied that he wrote it. If he had, the Publisher of the paper in which it appeared was at hand and liable for prosecution. Dui yet HE PAID THE COSTS AND HAD THE TRIAL PUT OFF UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION !! ! A poor proof of innocence, truly ! So with the suit of McMtravnis and with STURGEON. If he knew he did not owe those gentlemen, why wee he afraid to let a jury of his county decide between them I Let honest men answer. PERJURY ! (}This crime—the highest of all crimes—has been repeatedly charged upon DAVID R. Portrait, and every inducement held out to him and his friends to bring the matter to issue before twelve honest men. Even $5OO and now $lOOO (see first page) have been offered to oribe Porter to bring a suit to clear himself of the charge. And yet he refuses We put the question to any man in Adams county that has any respect for his character— Weriltre 7 42—gharge you with having perjured yourself, would you not make us prove the charge in a Court of Justice F And if we were unable to do so, would you not expect such damages as we were able to pay fur injuring your char acter Now, a responsible individual in Harrisburg charges David R. Porter, a candidate for your suf frages, with the crime of Perjury, and offers to forfeit $l,OOO, besides what might be recovered of him if the charge were false, if Porter will put the matter before a jury and he fails to sustain the charge—AND YET PORTER DARE NOT DO, IT ! Fellow Citizens! Decide, from hie conduct, whether you believe Porter to be free from the charge. If not, can you, as honest men, support him 1 Curiousl 0-Our Reverend and esteemed friend of the Winchester "Virginian" is out hard for Porter! Knowing how much that gentleman esteems mor al honesty in politics as well as in religion, we are at a loss to account for his partiality for Por. ter—such Porter, too !—unless it is, os his neigh bor of the "Republican" hints, that he loves the "spoils of party" more than ho does the "welfare of Rome !" That man must be truly blinded by party, that would desire to see polsted upon an honest people an individual who hos, by his own acts and hand, proven himself a DISHONEST and a PERJUDED MAN! Severe Rebuke. The Winchester (Virginia) Republican gives the Loco Foco papers hero and elsewhere a severe Rebuke about their pretended opposition to Abolition. It will be found on our first page. Read it. More Evidence. cc7On our fourth page will be found the depo sition of old Mr. STONEBB•ICER. We ask for it that attention which it justly merits. It fully establishes the crime of Pznatrar upon David It. Porter !

Bailey and the Compiler Certifiers. co-We have received from Gen. riAtz.zt a cor rect statement, giving his reasons for discharging those persons whose doleful lamentations so prom inently occupied a place an the last Compiler— from which it appears, that it was for laziness and inattention to business, as well as an intention of exciting others to a general rebellion, that those worthy men were discharged, and not on account of their political preferences ! We have not room this week for the statement, but give the following letter from Mr. SrevErs to Mr. BAI. LET, from which it will be seen that ono of the certifiers at least did not tell the truth,' GETTYSBURG, September 10, 1838. General Joel Bailey, Sin—You ask me to state whether I "passed along the line of the rail road, and was on Section 15 on Monday," the 27th of August, as stated by John Sturgeon in his certificate. I feel some re pugnance to answering you, as I make it a rule to notice none of the falsehoods of slanders of my political opponents. . But as you desire, for your own sake, that the truth may be known, I answer, that I was not along the line either upon or past Section 15 until Thursday, the day after Slur. goon had left the work. Nor did lon that, or any other day, visit or pass by the bridge on Sec tion 15, where Sturgeon appears to have been at work. On the Monday morning to which he refers, I left Caledonia Iron Works, 15 miles above Get tysburg, and travelled the turnpike the whole way to Gettysburg, stopping but a moment at the bridge by the way side between Section 17 and 18. I attended a County Meeting in the Court-house at 1 o'clock and did not leave the town again until Thursday. The whole statement in the Compiler, so far as my knowledge extends, is without foun dation in truth. Very respectfully yours, &c. THADDEUS STEVENS.
