STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER, GETTYSIEIRGEr. PENN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 90, 1838 (KTFLOUR in Baltimore, $7 50 $7 62 TO ILD'VERTISERS. .Persons having Real or Personal Estates to dispose of, Merchants, Mechanics,and the business community generally, will find the ooarsn Asti, thistraucaa BAlNsft" a valuable medium for advertising. Having much the largest circulation of any paper published in the county, and being for the most part patronized by such as aro good purchasers. it affords advantages for advertising which but few country pa?ers possess. Those who aro not already aware of this, have only to make a trial to he perfectly satisfied. Newspaper Editors. One of the most common subjects of in vective and gossip among a certain class of 1311 constituted censors of the piiblic morale, is the depravity and disregard for truth, as these quack moralists aro pleased to call it, of Newspaper Editors. These mon who make the loudest outcry against Editore,are, in nine cases out of ten, the very persons that, by their own acts, show the'most utter disregard for what they affect so much to condemn in them. They seem to think that falsehoods and misrepresentations are perfectly consistent with morality and tho character of good citizens, so long as, they are confined to the private circle. But if by any chance they find their way into a newspaper, the Editor has outraged public, feeling and all the rules of decency and shocked their delicate sense of propriety, by giving publicity to facts which they may have been the first to put in circulation! Newspaper Editors are like other human beings. There are many, no doubt, whose regard for truth does not reach so high a standard as is desirable. But the proper tion ie not larger than among other profes sions. There is nothing in the profession of an Editor that is so corrupting as to trans form a man who has hitherto sustained a fair reputation, into a being who wholly disregards every moral principle. The truth of the matter is, the persons who bear the strongest dislike to Editors, are such as know that they are as a class more inter. eeted in ferretting out vice and disseminat ing intelligence,and as a consequence virtue, for in proportion as they prevail Newspa pers will flourish ; and most probably they have, in the discharge of their various du ties, run against some one prevailing passion or another, and in a common and very natu ral spirit of retaliation, they seek revenge by attributing to editors the authorship of every mistatement that appears in their columns, whereas it may be only an -- 3 •-•ur nowever, a very pretty theme of declamation for the ignorant and the idle, who perhaps seldom or never read * newspaper. • They hard been taught, par rot like, to repeat certain denunciatory phrases against the craft, or they have some supposed injury to avenge; or perhaps their capacities cannot grasp any other subject that is so popular, and on which they can declaim so grandiloquently.[Co/umbia Cou. The Recent Election Frando. }The New York American, alludes to the election frauds that have recently been perpetra ted iti various sections of the country,and observes: "We cannot but repeat i as connected with this matter, our apprehension, that all this violence and fraud are preconcerted at Wash ington, and that there is a plan systematic. ally acted upon, under orders from Head Quarters, of forcing results,where the delib• erste voice of the constituency cannot be counted upon. Heretofore, in our most ex• cited political contests, the ballot box has been—measurably, at any rate—•respected; but now it would seem, if voters enough of the right sort cannot be found, the sanctity of the box itself is violated,obnoxious ballots are withdrawn, and those made to order sub• stituted for them." Bernd fmns an oration ay the Rev. Dr. P. 6560, deist:era in of Me fourth of July: "That oulue, both in those who com mand and those who obey, is absolutely es• sential to the existence of republics, is a maxim, and a most important one, in politi cal science.

The .lVew York and Penn sylvania Canals. NEw Youx CANAl.s.—Since the opening of the Now York State Canals this season, up to October the let: Tho receipts for tolls have been $1,083,309 38 Up to the same period in 1837, the receipts were 833,404 61 PENNSYLVANIA CANALSe-SiNCE the open ing of the canals this season, the receipts for Tolls have been as followg: Schuylkill Canal to Oct. 13th, Union Cana! to Oct. 13th, Lehigh Canal to Oct. 13th, State Canal. and Rail-roads to Oct. 1, $1,507,551 73 Dodact motive power, 217,877 96 Total, $1,289,673 77 In reference to the foregoing the Com. morcial List of this city remarks. " , It will be seen by the above statement that although there has boon a rapid increase in the receipts on the soven Now York Canals, over any former year, yet the receipts aro less than those on the Pennsylvania improvements. It must be borne in mind that a portion of the Pennsylvania Canal was entirely destroyed b , y a groat freshet in June last,and has not up to this (into boon nay,. gable. Owing to this unfortunate occurrence, a large amount of property that would have boon forwarded by this route, has boon convoyed by the Now York canals, by way of Baltimore, and down the Ohio and Mississippi to Now Orleans. Tho loss sustained may be safely sot down at .150,000—probably 8200,000 would bo nearer the mark." The above picture is flattering in no ordi nary degree, and is not a little creditable to the authorities of Pennsylvania. Politics aside,it is but fair to admit,thnt the Internal Improvement system of Pennsylvania has been sustained with great ability by the pre sent State administration. Despite the ter rible disaster at Hollidaysburg and its vicin ity, the aggregate tolls on our State works for the present fiscal year,will not vary much from a million of dollars. This cannot but be considered a liberal sum, when we re member the dreadful pressure in business with which the country was so recently visit ed, the little intercourse with the West that followed as one of the most serious conse quences, and the other important disadvan tage—the breach before adverted to A bet ter commentary on the faithful management of our public works could not be afforded. If in a season of difficulty and distress, and with a disaster calculated to prove seriously injurious to the who'e trade for months, the tolls are found to reach a million of dollars, what may not be expected in a season of life, activity and prosperity, provided the same admirable system of vigilance and persever ance shall be maintained. Pennsylvania has every reason to be proud of the many vain able public works which she has established within her borders. To none of these should she cling with more tenacity, the utility of none should sho guard with more watchful ness, than the great line of communication between Philadelphia and Pittsburg -a chain that has cost her an immense sum of money, but which, if properly guarded and attended to, will rei otir len-fold. Her position was clever more lofty and independent .11100 this momect—thant,...—....., wise legisiation, thepatriotte views,and the unwavering fidel ity to her interests, of Governor Ritnor.— The services of this enlightened and liberal chief magistrate cannot but be remembered with gratitude by all who are capable of np preciating sterling integrity, manly indepen dence, and statesmanlike policy. LAND AT FIFTY CENTS PER ACRE.-It may not be uninteresting to some of our readers to be apprised that the reduction of a portc.O . s'i of the refuse Chickasaw lands, to fifty cents per acre, took place tinder the graduation principle, on the let of Sepitem• ber last. Heretofore the minium price at which they were subject to entry, was one dollar per acre. The lands, though not the best in the country, have nevertheless a• mong them many fine spots suitable for cul• tivation, and would make very comfortable farms for small families.f Tuscum. N. Aluba. AN AOED BRIDE.—A woman recently died in Italy, aged 142 years. She had eight husbands, the lact of whom survived her. The widower is in his 62nd year. He married her when he was twenty and the bride just completed her century; it is said that he looked more to her fortune and to the probability of her decease, than to her personal charms. She punished his mercenary spirit by living forty years af terwards. FLORIDA.—The latest intelligence from Florida states that the campaign had not yet opened fur offensive operations and no encounters between the troops and the In- dians had taken place in the vicinity of Tampa. The troops at that place were en joying good health. The number of hostile Indians and negroes in Florida are said to be several thousands, and the present war is not likely to be soon ended unless a great improvement is made both in tho quantity and quality of the troops employed. The fourth regiment of infantry has been re• cruited with four hundred men, enlisted but six weeks previously to their being hurried to the heat of war. The ill.success of the American army in bush and swamp fighting is becoming proverbial from the almost en tire employment of fresh recruits. GREAT gnowrn.--The Wayne County Herald of the 16th inst, says: J. Neal, Cashiet of the Honesdale Bank, has raised in his garden this season, six Pumpkins weighing FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY I HREE pounds,averaging eigh ; ty two pounds each. We are requested to say that Farmers and others can be supplied with seed, gratis, on application to Mr. Neal, at any time after the first of January next. It has been ascertained by expe rience that the seed improves in quality, by remaining some time in the pumpkin after it has been taken from the vine. M. Sorel, a distinguished French chem ist, has invented a method of coating iron with zinc, the effect of which is to protect the former from oxydetion even under the action of acids or salt water. From the Cherokee Country. The removal of the Indians, by land, which was undertaken in September, but given over in consequence - of the drought, has now re-commenced, and will be prose cuted with great energy and despatch until completed. Gov. Cannon has just received through a letter from Mnj. Gen. Scott, in telligence of the marching of the tour de• tachmente for the West, three of which and four o: hers yet to start, will pass through Nashville. The interest which will of course be created, particularly on and near tho line of march, by the passage of so large a body of Indians through the coun• try, induces us to lose no time in laying the General's letter before the public. From the Noshvillo Whig. HEAD QOARTERS.EASTERN DIVISION , / Cherokee Agency, Oct. 8,183 Q, Sin—The long drought which was not terminated, in this quarter, until within a week, prevented tho emigration of the Cherokees from being renewed at the be ginning of the last month,as I had intended. The movement was re-commenced since the fall of rain, and will now be continued without interruption. One detachment is four days in march, from Fort Payne, De Ruth county, Alabama, which will cross the Mississippi at the Iron Bankr, ono has pro bably passed the Cumberland mountain ; another, on the same road, Walden's Ridge, and a fourth is following. The three lat. ter, and about four more detachments, will proceed via Nashville, Colcondo, Cape Gi• rude, and the ridge road of Missouri. No military guard will accompany either of the detachments, as it is not doubted that the emigrants will so conduct themselves as to win the esteem of our citizens on the routes; and it gives me great pleasure to be able to say that, in all their chiefs and head men, I have not cause to suspect a single case of bad faith. I shall, however, to some extent, cause the deportment of the parties to be watched, in order if found necessary, to apply any corrective that may be in my power. I have the honor to remain, with high res• pcct, your Excellency's most ob't servant. W I N FI ELD SCOTT. His Exmllency N.

May the grass grow preen GOOD.—The dealerit in dry goods at Lowell have entered into a compact (fifty dollars penalty for each infringement, to be given to one charitable institution,) to close their stores on every Wednesday evening from October 8,1838, to March 20,4839. Their object is the mental and moral . ' im• provement derived from attendance on the Lyceum Lectutes delivered on those oven• ings. The celebrated Indian warrior, Black Hawk, died at his camp on the river Des Moines on the 3d instant. Among the recent deaths in Sing Sing prison is that of Walter F. Osgood, late a lawyer of the city of New York,of the most respectable connexions, who was sentenced for 14 years,for forging pension certificates, and who died in prison of a diarrhoea, on the 17th inst. In the Garden of Olives at Jerusalem; eight olive trees are now standing, which are proved by historical documents to have been there anterior to the taking of the city by the Turks, and must consequently be at least eight hundred years old. MICHIGAN WHEAT AND FLOUR.—The Cleveland Herald of the 18th says:—"Mich igan is sending east her bread stuffs in good earnest. Twelve thousand bushels of wheat were cleared from Toledo early in the week. the produce of Michigan. The Blade says, daily shipments of Flour by steamboats are made by the forwarders of Toledo. It is estimated that 10,000 barrels of Michigan Flour, and 50,000 bushels of wheat will be shipped from Toledo this Fall." • The New York Whig mentions that Mr. Joseph Lancaster, known as a teacher on the system that bears his name,was on Mon day last knocked down in the streets of that city, by a horse running away. Mr. L. was eo much injured that his life is despaired of. YANKEE Inf.—The brig William, Capt. Underwood, sailed from this port some months ago with the machinery complete for a Cotton Factory, with men, women, boys and girls, to run it, bound to San Blas, at the mouth of the river Santiago,on the West Coast of Mexico. News has just been re ceived of her safe arrival. The Yankee owner of the_ cargo intends to put his "no tions" in operation by the way, we suppose, of extending the "American system."

A Mrs. Shaw,wife of Mr. James Shaw,reeiding there shot her huthand through the heart on the night of the third instant. This is the second murder of n husband by his wife in that county during tho present year. Presidential Xosnination: Since the election, we have conversed with a goodly number of intelligent whige, and have received communications from seve•al at a distance, whoa!! agree with the sentiments wo expressed last week, on the subject of nominating a Presidential candi. date for the whig party. The expediency of an early nomination, is made apparent by the result of the late election ; and the ne cessity of submitting (ho nomination to the A. M. Convention, is evident from the fact that no other party, or division of party can be assembled in National Convention as early as it is desirable to have a candidate before the people. The time appointed for the Wing Convention is more then a year distant. Before that time arrives, State elections must again take place throughout the Unian, and it we attempt another cam paign without a leader, our party will be so scattered that it will be impossible to unite it under any name, however popular. If the whigs were to attempt now to alter the time of their meeting, they could hard- Iv fix it upon an earlier day and give the States time to agree to the alteintion and appoint delegates. The A. M. Convention has been appointed for more than a year, delegates are appointed, and the time of their assembling is at hand. They will meet and nominate Presidential candidates. Then we can begin to collect our scattered forces. It is a source of much gratification to us, that we have in this plan the moans of concentrating the whole of the whig strength. It is objected by some that the name of antimasonry will prejudice the nomination. We can assure such they may dismiss their fears. They form too low an opinion of the patriotism of masons, many of whom, we know, will unite cordially in the nomina tion. A very few narrow souled biggots among them, whose inveterate and unprin cipled opposition has exposed them to the censures of the press and the contempt of their neighbors, may still be "nursing their wrath to keep it warm," but they are too few in number and their influence too little to be dreaded.—[Xeniu Ohion Free Press. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.—The Madisonian, the organ of the Conservatives, at Washington city, adopts some remarks of a St. Louis paper in favor of General Harri son. This is a very favorable indication, and shows that the popularity of the Farmer of North Bend is forcing itself upon the con victions of all the opponents of the present misrule at Washington city. From all quarters of our Union,there is a loud and increasing cry in favor of the Hero and Statesman of Ohio; and the National Anti• Masonic Convention ofNovember next, in nominating him, will only follow in the wake of public opinion.—Pittsburg Gaz.

In the various departments of his che quered nod eventful life, as Commander in Chief of North Western Army, as Gover her of Indiana, Minister at Columbia, and United States Senator, he evinced through all, the same patriotic devotion, zealous ar dor, unshrinking firmness, and that lofty spirit and noble disinterestedness, which foregoes all private aggrandizement to ad. vance the public weal. Such were the dis tinguishing characteristics of his course throughout the long and bloody conflicts in which he commanded our army on the fron tiers. Well may the American indulge a glow of pride in contemplating the career of this groat and good man, and in the con sciousness that it was his country which gave him birth, and that he yet survives to re ceive the award of her grateful and admir ing sons. There are upwards of fifty millions of yards of various fabrics manufactured at Lowell annually. OAKLAND.—The "Home Place" of this noble estate, belonging to Thos.

HARRISBURG, Oct: 24, 183 g. On Sunday evening last a fire occurred in this borough, which consumed a large a mount of property. A carpenter shop, a school room, two dwelling houses, a store house and the large and elegant Lutheran Church, were all destroyed. We have not been able to ascertain how the fire originat ed, but it is said it first broke out in the car penter shop. The buildings destroyed were situated on the corner of Fourth and Market Streets, between the Court House and the Canal, and directly opposite where the fire occurred in July last.—Chronicle.

It afterwards appeared that the letter of credit was a for gery,and the object of the paragraph in the Journal was to put the public on us guard against any similar attomps on the part of the Journal's lute customer. This notice, it appears from an article in the Frederick Examiner of this morning,has had the effect intended. That paper states, that a call was made (in behalf of the same operator) on the Branch Bank at Frederick, on Mon day last, by an individual, who wished to ascertain if the bank would cash the draft of a Mr. Philips, on Mr. M. Noah, of New York,—the applicant representing that said Philips was sick at the hotel. The nogotia. tion was declined by the Cashier. And an other gentlemen being accidentally ?resent, who had seen the Journal's paragraph, he informed the applicant. of the charge thus brought against his principal. The former expressed great surpriv.; and the latter was taken before a magistrate,whence after pro. mising to refund the $5O fraudulently ob tained from the editor of the Journal,he was allowed to go his way. In reference to the detection thus brought about, the Examiner remarks, with a good show of reason, that "rogues may well dread the newspapers." INTERESTING FROM CANADA.—The Now York Post of Monday says:—"We hear from a source we deem respectable, that there is likely to be further trouble on the frontier. A gentleman writes, "Things are coming to a head on the frontier: 1 think by the let proximo, we shall have a renewal of the Lana& war, and m' I urn not deceived, under an organization and with a reciprocity on the part of the inhabitants generally,very different from what characterized last win• ter's and spring's operations.' The Georgia Legislature elect will be the first .in that State having a majority opposed to the Administration,since the rise of Jack. sonism. It comprises the most enlightened citizens of the State, and the most happy results are enticipated from the wisdom of these patriotic legislators.

A quantity of powder was oppor: tunelv discovered under ono of the tombs of the Cathedral." RECIPROCITY OF SENTIMENT.—The Globe is of the opinion following:—"ln Philadel phia the most stupendous frauds were prac• tised to accomplish the defeat of the Coon- AGEOUS and ELOQUENT INGERSOL, who had been previously cheated out of his seat." It is s matter of fact, says the National Gazette, that Mr. Ingersoll, under his own hand, denounced the editor of the Globe as a LIBELLER! YELLOW FEVER IN ARKANSAS.—The Al takapas Gazette contradicts the report of the yellow fever prevailing in Attakapas.— On the contrary, the editor says, that the health of Attakapas is equal to that of the most favored season, and nothing like yellow fever exists or has existed there. During the whole summer only ono death occurred among the inhabitants of the village of St. Martinsville.

It would not be settled for seve ral weeks, as directors were absent. Ship ments would consequently be delayed. LIBERIA.-A plan is now on foot in New York, to purchase a vessel and present her to a company of colored men, who are to navigate her and use her as a packet be tween western Africa and the .

The scheme is re commended warmly in many papers, and is sustained by good names. AN INFERNAL MACHINE.—We this day heard from Colonel Haskell,at the coroner's office, a most remarkable circumstance, which occurred in the lower part of Bleeker street last night. It appeared from his state ment that as engineer, engaged on the Cro ton Water Works . , living in Bleeker street, had been in the habit, during the summer, of sleeping with his window open. This seemed to give an opportunity to some evil disposed persons to attempt a robbery. The engineer saw on several occasions some per sons lurking nenr his premises, and suspect ing their designs determined to set a trap for them. He accordingly constructed an "infernal machine," formed of a board, on which were placed two into knives. This board was made to fit into the window, and drawn back by a spring, the conductors be ing two threads placed across the window, which, if , touched, would immediately cause the machine to strike against the intruded. He then told the person in the house that he was going out of town, and fastened his doors. Last night,a man,dceming the coast clear, attempted to enter; tho spring being touched, the board flew home, and one of the knives entered the man's body, while the board striking him with great violence, forced him some feet from the window. He was picked up bleeding and insensible. He is said to be a notorious,thief.V. Y. Whig. A young preceptor in Vermont lately chastised a female pupil nearly as old as himself, to whom he was under engagement of marriage.

Look Here! etzr-We want Mexcir, good friends; and hereby tender our card to ALL indebted from $1 to $2O, or upwards, with the words, in large letters, "AT HOME TO ALL WHO WANT TO MAKE PAYMENT," engiaven thereon! If you are "NoT AT HOME." don't be surprised if but there's no danger; we know that all our friends, who intend to pay at all, will cull "forthwith,",without further summons, and "PAY TILE PRINTER." Those who are Our friends, WIV.

Star Office, October 30. 1839. Postage. 0:741 our friends knew the amount we have to pay quarterly for postage, wo would receive no un paid letters. Almost every day we receive a let ter from some friend on which the postage is on. paid, either apologising for non payment of sub. acription, or else asking us to attend to some busi. nest; of no interest or advantage to us. We trust, hereafter, that our friends will think of the ,matter. The slmendments. ayThe Amendments, it seems, have been adop ted by a small majority. This result wo most sin cerely regret. There are, no doubt, some amend ments that will be found valuable—such as the election of Prothonotary, Register, &c. by the people; but the provision that the Legislature .shall have power to propose amendments is, at the ;present crisis, in our estimation, particularly ob jectionable. The spirit of change and innovation which per. -wades the land—the rage of.4experiments." is such, that wo dread to see the Charter of our Liberties Open to Invasion, by each rude hand that may be put forth to profane or destroy it. In such times as these, we should have had a guardian, such as the "Old Constitution" was, which would shield us alike from thoughtless ex. veriments and designing demagogues. but as it is the will of the people, that our old safeguard 'should give place to the experiment, we shall sub mit without further murmuring; and if David It. Porter, unfit, in every respect as we believe him to be, Lad been elevated to the situation of Govern or by an honest majority of the people's votes, we should say Amen—but to say so -under existing circumstances, would be to countenance fraud and encourage villany. We say, therefore, we will only submit when the Legislature shall have said that David R. Porter is our lawful Governor. Governor's Election Our friend of the Baltimore Patriot, of Sat.. urday last, says-4.TAkore is no son of probability that the late election for Governor of Pennsylva nia will be contested:"• Our friend has been misinformed upon the sub ject. it has been determined, and preparations are in progress, to contest the Governor's election fairly and fully; and from every information from those who know, we see no prospect that such determination will be at all abandoned until a thorough investigation has been had. Justice de. manda it, the People demand, and the friends of Law, Justice and the rights of the people would prove recreant to their trusts,. ware they to hesitate - in the performance of their solemn duty. Obey or Reiign. 0:3 -In one of the Congressional districts in Ohio, a Sub. Treasury candidate tbr Congress was elected over Mr. Kilgore, at prevent a Member and opposed to the Sub-Treasury scheme. Immediate ly upon the , result being announced, Mr. Kilgore resigned his seat. Now, we take this as a pretty plain hint to Jud g e SUEFPOR to "follow in his footsteps." The Judge is a Sub-Treasury man, and a, largo major ity of the people of this district have elected an Anti-Sub-Treasury man, to represent the District in the next Congress now represented by that gen tleman. Will the Judge now oppose the sub- Treasury, or will ho resign and Ist the people o. lect ono who will conform to their wishes We awitit his answer,. The right course. co.--A short time before the election, Alexander Lowry, a rorter man, said that SAMUEL &run. sixes, the poor old man whom David H. Porter defrauded oult of his hard-earnings, "would perjure himself for &little money." • Coming to the ear of. Mr. Sturgeon, and both living In the mune county, (Armstrong,) he im. mediately brought suit against Lowry for slander. The case was referred to Arbitrators, who report. ed for theTlaintiff (Sturgeon,) Four Hundred Dollars damages and coals of suit „ .an Interesting Section. - The following section of the New Constitution, is bald to possess more than ordinary interest for cousin individuals.

Good News for Pennsylvania• A Whig Majority in the Legis- latiire on Joint Ballot. We have (says the Philadelphia Inquirer) high ly gratifying intelligence to communicate to our readers this morning. It is no less than the fact, that the Whigs of Pennsylvania will have a major ity on joint ballot in the next Legislature, and will thus be able to elect a United States Senator, and several other highly important officers. This ma jority does not depend upon the result in the coun ty of Philadelphia; for even without the members fr..m the county, it is conceded by the enemy (the American Sentinel) that the Whigs will have a majority of at least one on joint ballot. With the Whig county members, and they will no doubt take their seats, our majority will be twenty-one votes. This is, indeed, highly important, and a subject of no ordinary congratulation. The Sen ate is Whig-by a sufficient majority to render it certain that the Widest will haven majority in that brand' of the Legislature, for at least three years to come. We annex the official results from the National Gazette: THE LEGISLATUhE Tho following table exhibits the official results of the recent election in this Stain for mombers of thu Sonata and House of Roprosenlativos—it will bo aeon that the Whigs can afford some de. monstiation of joy unon the highly satisfactory state of parties in the now legislature. This secures a WlllO SCHAEHR to both Houses—and a WIIIO UNITED STATES SENATOR from Pennsylvania State Senate.

On joint ballot, ccrllefbrring to comments on the abovo by the Pohnsylvanian, tho National Gazette says- 7 . , The Pennsylvanian dots not like our view of the po- Mica! complexion of the next Legislature. The table wo published showed a Whig majority of twenty-ono on joint ballot, which is by no means to the taste nor in accordance with the calculation of the radical organ. It is not now satisfied with tho glorious victory,, on the occasion of which it blew such a tremendous blast. It now discovers, perchance, that tho Clovernor elect of the Van Bu. ron faith, having the solemn and salutary check of o constitutional supremacy m the Legislature, may find it to his honor to make a virtue of ne. I *The Whig_members oldie Senatearid House of Representatives have received their certificates of election, but no doubt their seats will be con tested--let the result be what it may the Whigs will hare a majority on joint ballot. fTho certificate of election has bean given to Mr.' Bell tho opponent, of the Whig Candidate, Mr. Brooke; but the mistake has been so gross end palpable, that it is supposed Mr. 8011, (fro the charatter we hear of this gentleman) will not offer to take his seat under the circumstances. iThe same farce has been enacted by Van Bu. ron judges in this Senatorial district, as was done in the county of Philadelphia, viz: the return jud. gas making themselves the judges of the legalit of the returns of the whole of Huntingdon county, which gave a large majority for the Whig Candi. date, and throwing them out as /illegal—this of CiAltro will be treated as it should be by the Semite. cessity,and conduct his A tlministation according to good old republican canons. As the amendments also to the Constitution take so large a portion of patronage out of executive hands, it is not a mat. ter ofsurprise that the disinterested democracy are groaning in spirit upon the substantial disappoint ment of their hopes. Their Porter business has proved rather unprofitable;—a prodigious pop and a lamentable spilling of froth. Democratic anti-Glilasonic Xational Convention. I The following resolutions were adopted by the Democratic Anti-Masonic National Convention, which assembled in the City of Washington on the 11th of September 1837.
