Ann troy WISFIED with these "sober! second thoughts f the People, which are never wrong, and ahirysefficient the President be satisfied, or the members of the Cabinet, or your Official neighbor, be satisfied I 1 think not. But the , Whigs of Washington, and throughout the Union, will rejoice with a joy unspeakable.

Thz.• r.,5e-4 of the Globe has drawn a portrait of a party maw in it'll! . country. It evidences an in ti ate stevaictactoe with the art of painting, and a deep Inowilefte of the inil:ject he is portraying. Every I-Q.3y will recognise the features, and the antral in &treaty spared the trouble of writing netelta- a Loco Focoism." Here's the rlictum— "It wakes obloquy and calumny supply the gime of argument and fact. No longer able to carry its men and measures by means which have Doane show at least of fairness, It practises and avows a system of unblush ing fraud. Its conduct lately is calculated to wows the fears of every man who feels attached to cur free institutions. It no longer ccefinms itself to the ordinary means and weapons of political warfare. It attacks the very guarantees and bulwarks of free dom. It vitiates the contents of the ballot box; it alters the elections returns; it expun ges with a stroke of the pea, the almeSt en tire delegation of a State. If such things can be practised with impunity, the days of American liberty are numbered." "To vs there is nothing appalling in ill". So exclaims the Globe, in announcing, the [malts of the New York election. The offi cial editor is using the philosophy of Mr. Brown, as described by BuLwEn; in the uorel of "the Disowned." That worthy Coed himself, one stormy night, flat on his back in a gutter, with the long cherished orehrzlia of Lady Weddilove, turned inside oat by a melee% gust of wind—his hat blown alma waking sundiy pirmeuesin mid air , the - rain ficiiiimg, down in torrents on his oricovered "No7y," cried Mr, Brown, with that bitter irony expreesive of intense despair, "this is what 1 calls plecisant!"— The= area nothing appalling in' Put.

A frank -enures sham br my troth, and disclosing, in an un expecta quarter, the secret of our success! We thar.k thee. Globe, for a slip °Elbe pen by which thou has once spokeutrtity. Tke Gorernor of New York has appoint ed the 29th of the present month - as a day of poWie thankrgiving. The saine' day is to be.oPierved in Michigan and throughout ,Neer Elteand. The .V'ete Constitution and Under the different sections, articles and provisions of the amended Constitution,much speculation and conversation is abroad in the' World; , reepeetinglhe:- power and.conatitU tional authority of the now Governor, to supersede the pre.ient Prot honotaries,Cierks of the several Courts, Recorders of Deeds and the Registers of Wills--but upon Ma ture deliberation - and• examination, there must result but one opinion on that subject. And.its respects thii iiiipintment of other officers, such as the Inspectors of Provis ions, &c. the sine qua non is in the Legislu turo, to be determined by law, and not . in Executive pleasure. The amendments to the Constitution be. come operative on the first day of January, 1839 Schedule, section 2d. By the filth section of the Schedule, Gov ernor Ritner's executive term is extended to the third Tuesday of January, .1839, and until which time David R. Porter cannot he inaugurated—and not even then, it the con testing his election shall continue until the third Monday of that month—"in which case the Governor of the last year, [Governor Rimer,' or the Speaker of the Senate who may be in the executive authority, shall continue therein,. until the determination of such contested election, and until a Govern or shall ho duly qualified."—See sect. 'l4, Art.ll. It iStherefOre clear that the amended Constitution comes into operation under the Executive authority of Joseph Ritner, by whom all the offices ot,the class in our first section will tie, ineumbent, us ho cannot otherwise do, being his absolute .duty, And even should. David R. Porter be in augurated un the third Tuesday of January, as per the third section of the second article, ho can have no power unless "vacancies" occur by death or resignation—his power is portrayed in the third section of the sixth article, viz : " Vacancies" in any of the said officee—Prothonotaries and Clerks of the several other courts, Recorders of Deeds and Registers of Wills, shall be fil led by appointments to be made by the Gov ernor.". But it will not be competent to at• tempt to create a vacancy for the profligacy of filling it—he has uo swill constitutional power. The eighth section of the second article is to the same import. Ile shall have pow er to fill all "vacancies" that may happen in such judicial offices during the .recess, of the session of the Senate, by granting com• missions that shall expire at the end of their next session. And he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and Consent of the Senate, appoint all judicial officers of Courts of record, (tiliss otherwise provided for) in thi. Constitution. But the officers of Prothonotaries end Clerks of the several other Courts, Recer• ders of Deeds and Registers of Wills, are provided fIAY the third section of the'sixth article to the Constitution, who shall et the times and places of election of representa tives, be elected by the qualified electors,tind the Legislature shall provide by law the number of persons in each cdunty,who shall hold such offices and how many and which of the said offices shall be held by one per• son. These then being provided for by the Con stitution—the Judicial appointing power of the Executive only applies to filling vacan cies as ohms lid, viz: "VACANCIES in any of the said dices shall be filled by ap pointments to be made by the Governor to continue ,until the next General Election, and until successors shall be elected and qualified." But this is incompetent for the Governor to do, until the Legislature pass the laws as aforesaid. Therefore the officers ns aforesaid who are incumbents on the third Tuesday ofJanuary, 1839, and not making a vacancy by death or resignation, will only be superseded by those elected in October, 1839. STESVART Neither can the Governor,under the new Constitution, appoint such officers as Attor ney General and prosecuting uttornies, and canal commissioners; also, flour, whiskey, lard, butter, pork, beef, lumber, staves, to bacco inspectors, &c. &c.; until directed by law—because the eighth section of the sixth article is in these words—" All officers whose election or appointment is not provid ed for in this Constitution, shall be elected or appointed as shall be directed by law." It is therefore certain, that the Legialature can direct an election in the City and Coun ty of Philadelphia for all of those port offi cers, or confer - their, appointment on the Commissioners of the County of Philadel phia, for the time being—or even in the City Councils (if you please)-the power is a legit+• lative one—and there vested by the Consti tution. But the Convention by the eleventh section of the Schedule to ,the Constitution,has con firmed the provision for' the passage of the Kequisite laws,&c. in the following words,viz: "Section; XI. The appointing firmer shall remain aa heretofore, npd all officers in the appointment 'of the executive department shall continue In the exorcise of the duties of their respective offices until the legisla ture shall pass sadli laws as may be c required by the eighth section of the sixth article of the amended'constitution;arid until appoint- Merits shall be mada under such lawi;'unless their commissions, shall be euereeded by new appoieiments, or shall'adoner expire by their own limitations, or the said offices , shall become, vacant by lefith,c,or , resigns tion, ana such taws shall be enacted by the first legislature under the 'amended consti tution." ' In' this section the words "finless their cbmmissioni shall be superseded b,O neui s izp. 'paintnients"—apOlies 'only to the opporttini ty of Governor Ritner to "supersede,"—the poivet will 'not extend to the successor, and the reason is one and obvious. The; old Constitution passes away'under the Admin. istration'of Governorßitner and the amen 7 ded Constitetion becomes operative—any a: puintments to he• made or superseding done, -belongs wholly to Ritner, and don't extend to Porter—but had the inauguration of D. It. Porter been under the old Consti tution and before the amendments became operative—the result would have been oth Governor's Patronage. erwise, but MIA i)r , pa t ran age and shorn of poWer. However, ho will have lite appointment . of Secretary of the Commonwealth. Also all judicial officers of-courts of rec ord not otherwise provided for—hilt subjects laws that the Legialcurejnny pass - on the subject. He can fill vacancies as taresaid—but cannot create a vacancy for any purpose. 1. - I,e can nominate to the Senate, judges of theseyeral courts, as vacancies occur, as a• fore'said, and atso vacancies in the office of, Sheriff and Coroner— , nnd ho can appoint Aldermen and J ustices of the Peace, to con. tine° in office anti; 1840; and fifteen days after the commissions of the elected aro is sued. . „ It is therefore obvious that were Gover nor Porter to presume to fill even a vacancy in the elective offices during the session of the Senate, without its advice end consent, or to supersede any other of the officers, (except the Secretary of the Commonwealth) until the Legislature shall have passed the requisite laws under the constitution, that such executive act 'would be void L.--from its unconstitutionality, an outrage on society, and good cause of impeachment. But the better part and cool headed per: lion of M r. Porter's friends have no idea that impatience and partizan zeal will prompt hint to overt acts of indiscretion—his stand ing being but capricious at the best. And they also believe that he would not ou any account extend less courtesy to the incumbents of office under Mr. Rimer, than was extended by Mr. Ritnor to the incum bents under Mr. Wolf—and therethre in no event (had he the • power) supersede those in conimission before about the first of April next. And as from the first of April, until the election,is not over six and a half months, and therefore Mr. Porter would . not be in clined to derange the different offices by now appointments for that short space of time; and more particularly such offices, the dirties of which are not simply executive, but judi. cial and ministerial,where important caveats are in operation; cotnmissons, citations, pre cepts and Dedimus Potestatem, outsianding and returnable, by which much confusion, injury, and embarrassment must be the in. ovitable result to the public generally, be cause in such an office no new incumbent (however well qualified) could expect to be fully orannized for a proper administration before the next general election. And further,tf there be doubts on the con stitutionality of any such superseding ap pointment by Governor Porter, it will be ;requiSkte for such superseded officer, before he &flyer the books and papers to the ap pointed, for his own safety, to hold on and ask the decision of. a court on a mandamus, Otherwise by surrendering the office, the books and papers, he may forfeit his own bond to the commonwealth. The constitu tion, and the requisite laws passed under it, will be the law of the land, rind not the ipso dixet—and wishes' of an officer, whether he be a Governor and his partizans, or a more huinhle officer and his friends—the constitu tion has been adopted, and it, under the con struction of the Legislature, and the Judges of the Supreme Court in blink is the rule of action.

Capt. Bogard, who was ordered with his company to guard the frontier oritay county, was attacked and cut to pieces by immense numbers. They were overpowered by 300 or 400 Mormons, while they Nero guarding their own Iron tier. But 5 minutes ago, three reports of a cannon were heard in the direction of Rich mond. Firing has been heard in various directions, and there is no doubt but that these infatuated villains have attacked Rich mond.. The news of their burning and pillage has already reached you. They have indubit ably captured the cannon, and taken many, prisoners, probably killed many. Davies county is a 'scene of desolation. Ray is probably so era , this time; and their next movement will be at this place. It is already threatened. Be up' nd doing. Bring all the men you can, and let us check them in their course of destruction and devastation. They are moving on with giant strides to the climax of anarchy, civil war, and desolation. Wolf and Barker will explain all. I have just re ceived orders by expreas,from Brig. General Parks, to raise ltiO mounted men. Fifty have volunteered and the remainder I will obtain in,a day' or two. Stir the people "up in Howard and Churl. ton. Send all the braves you can with Wolf, and we can meet and cheek them in their mad career.. yours, in haste, Wu. CLAUDE JONES, To Congrave Jackson; and others. STILL LATER. The following is published in the St. Louis Bulletin, as the copy of a letter from Davies County, Missouri. • • - "Sir: I deem it my duty, made so 'not only from.the la N, • . as" an officer; but' also as an individual,to report and make known to your Excellency, the unheard of, unprecedented cooduet,and high handed proceedings of the Mormons of this and Caldwell counties, to• wards the PeOple of the county beim , my.: self one of the sufferert3. • On Monday;the 15th Inst. we learned that the Mormons'were collecting in Far West, for the purpose of driving what they termed the mob from Davies ; by, which we under stood the citizens who are not Mormons; and accordingly they have come, and our worst apprehensions have been already ful• filled. _ . . . .They have,plunderod, robbed, and burn. .ed every house in Gallatin,(our county seat, ) among the test our post office. 'They have driven almost cvery individual in the county, who are now flying before them with their families—many of whom have been forced call without their ordinal.; clothing;—their wives and little childreW — wading in many in stances through thesnoit,even without their shoei. When the' miserable families are thus forted from their homes, they plunder and burn their houses. This,they are mak• ing universal throughout the county. They have burned for me,.two houses. Think this 'not an - exaggeration—for all is not told, and for-the truth of till and every statement . here made, I pledge the honor of an officer and a gentleman. I neglected to state, that among the rest, our County Treasurer's office has been also burned. P. S.—The amount of property of va rious kinds, stolen or destroyed at this time, is not less than $20,000, and the work is still going on. FrOM Texas. Iti chnfirniation of the statements of the Red!ander, respecting a rise among the In dians and Mexicans against the Texians,we copy the following from the Opelousas Ga. zette, of the 20Th ultimo: "We learn from a gentleman just arrived from Jasper county, Texas, that the Indians had killed seveul Texiln soldiers, and taken possession.of Fort Houston, situated in the vicinity of Trinity river. The authorities of Jasper county had given order fir a droll, which was to have taken place on Saturday last." Prom Canada. •Our advicos from Montreal are up to Wednesday morning U o'clock,and from the frontier to 5 P. at. of that day. On Wednesday morning early the steam boat Burlington,Commodore Sherman,stop ned, as usual, at Champlain, where the en gineer was informed by the celebrated Dr. Cole that he bad come to the determination to stop the intercourse between the United States and Canada, and for that purpose the Burlington could not proceed farther— that be had under his control a force suffici ent to carry his purposes into effect. This information was immediately com• municated to the Commodore; who went on shore and had an interview with Cole; the result of which was,that the Burlington was permitted to proceed. We are informed that Cote declared that this should be the last boat permitted to pass,and that he would bring down a field piece and fire it into any boat.thnt should attempt to p[u3s,either way, after being warned of his intention. BATTLE AT ODLETOWN.—It being known at Odletown that an attack was to be made on that 'place on Tuesday night, the militia wore ordered under arms—and having re. ceived information that a party of the rebels were approaching, they went out under co ver of a dark night, and fell in with them a short distance from the town--a battle en sued, which resulted in the death of eight of the insurgents, and the capture of a piece of artillery, and two hundred stand of arms. It was not the - intention, we ate informed,of the militia, to.be troubled with prisoners at this juncture. A sloop laden with munitions of war— among which was a large number of mus kets—has been seized on Lake Champlain, by Mr. Crooks, ono of the officers of the customs. It was the prevailing opinion nt Montreal that tranquility would soon be restored. The administrator was making use of every means at his dispessl to check the spirit of insurrection that had manifested itself. The object of the rebels appeared to be to make hostagee,for which purpose they were making prisoners of women and children— preferring in all cases the ladies of respecta ble families.

Henry Harrison. gi-The Democratic Anti-Masonic National Convention having nominated the above gentle men for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, we have inscribed their names upon our Banner,where they shall proudly float until the People of the United States shall have cast in their votes and declared whether or not those distinguished bltates men shall succeed the present incumbents. That the voice of the people, and the result of the.elec- Lion in 1840, may be in favor of Gen. HAtitiiies and Mr. W LOST EH, we sincerely pray—confident ly believing that worthier men could not be called to full those high and important offices. Hereafter wo shall take pleasure in spewing and pressing their claims upon the people of this great Nation for their suffrages—merely now stating, that their nominution is received by the people of Adams in a most enthusiastic manner, which will ho fully shown cvhen tine time anives for attesting their sincerity and appreciation of the great services and talents of him who bared his bosom in defence of the Liberties of their country, and him who, when the Constitution of that beloved country was about being violated and trampled upon, boldly stopped to its termite! THADDEUS STEVENS, ESQ. t O-We arc highly pleased to find that the tal ents and public services of this gentleman are duly appreciated abroad as well as at home, and that his claims for a scat in the U. S. Senate are ad mitted and urged by others than ourself. Para graphs liko the following are pouring in upon us every day. We commend them to the attention of our Democratic Anti-Masonic and Whig friends of the Legislature, and trust that, : ,rit the proper time, they will carry out the wishes of the people, and send such a man as Mr. Stevens is admitted to be, to represent the Key-Steno State in the Sen ate of the United States. U. S. Seinnpn--Thaddens Stevens Our readers must-he generally aware that it will devolve upon the Legislature this winter to supply the place of General S. M'Kean, whose term will expire on the 4th of March next. In that Legislature there will be a democratic majority on joint ballot, if not in both Houses; and of course no Lo. cofoco can expect to reach that high station in the National CounCil. And if the digni ty of the station, the mighty interests at stake, and the fearful conflict between the dark legions of Locofocoism and the Spar. tun Band eflpatriots, which must take place ou. the odithis and tyrannical Sub• Treasury scheme, be fir a moment considered, the importance of selecting the ablest of Penn. sylvania's sons to stand proudly up fpr the liberties of the people, must strike every mind. We repeat it, the conflict will be one of more than ordinary fierceness; and will decide the question which for some time has been agitated, whether the people shall bufreerrien or bondmen; whether the Presi dbut, with both the sword and purse in his hand, or the people themselves, shall rule the destinies.of this mighty Republic. For if the dark Legions .of Locofocoism shall triumph; if the President, with Tumble Humbug, and the other conspirators against the liberties of the people shall succeed in establishing this - device of Tyranny—in seizing upon the Treasure of the people,and distributing it-among hisermy of sixty thou sand Sub• Treasuries, your Republic is gone —it may linger for a short time in form and name, "but its vital spirit will have fled for ever." Though the Loco Feces for a time were disposed to carry on this conspiracy in the dark, and were ever ready vehement ly to disavow it, when it was charged upon them; now,' that through fraud and violence, they claim one or two petty triumphs, they throw ()tithe mask,and boldly proclaim that the people shall bow their necks to this yoke of slavery. For this 'conflict, no 'sunshine Patriot, no mushroom hero,na timid,shrink log spirit, is adequate: The bold, fearless, towering genius, who becomes, More bold and fearless as dangers and difficulties thick. en,around him; who would spenrge back the conspirators to their dark cavern s , as with seorpions; this is the inan, the station and crisis require. And need it be asked where have we such a man? Yoa have anticipated us—you reply, TER DBEUS STEVENS is lie. Him above all others, we cosisider the most eminently qualified for that station, and upon him, as the most suitable person, public opinion appears to, be settling down. State pride, we would think, should alone lead us to this conclusion. Among the giants ofthe Senate,the NVebeters and Clays,whom could we send that Pennsylvania could more justly be proud of? For Harrison. 20 21 • • .12" UNITED STATES SENATOII.—The next Legislature of this State will elect a United Slates Senator in the place of Samuel M'Rean.

From the Hollidaysburg Register Hu m buggery o[l.llre hear it rumored about town that there was a "great celebration" at the homes of "mine host" of the Golden Sheaf on Friday evening last. The oljecl, but few can well understand. Sonic say it was for one thing, and others for another. The general impression, however, is, that it was got up for the purpose of giving a newly created JUDGE an opportunity of taking an affectionate leave of his "Democratic" brethren, as well as of bequeathing them to the especial care and atten tion of a very little neighbor of his! It is saidthe I bull was opened with a great flourish of the little follow's drumsticks, by which the "U. S. Bank" and Thaddeus Stevens suffered considerably, as every thing does which passes through his hands! After the young one got through, the old one arose, and such "a weeping and a wailing" our friend of the Sheaf never did see ! Twelve years had ho labored in the cause of Democracy— twelve years hod he, almost singly and alone, buf fetted the waves rolled against him by the Feder alists of Adams county, yet he manfully withstood them all ! Muny a tithe land presented' itself to his view, sometimes he had his foot ready to step forth, hut, alas ! his rascally enemies always pul led him back! So he struggled—so he Waited, until on or about the second Tuesday of October last, when the people spoke against his efforts in a manner not to he misunderstood Seventeen hun dred and seventy-five of a majority against his "Democracy," was a poor reward.for all hie twelve years labor ! He could'nt stand it any longer ! He applied to Martin the First, and he had him exiled to Wisconsin,far from his dear 'Democratic' brethren of old Adams! He, however, felt great relief in knowing that ho left them in such hands as his little friend, who would so like care of them that by October next there would scarcely bo a grease spot of them left! Ho concluded by wip ing his mouth, calling for the price of the supper, and then the ball broke !

(^ j The National Gazette of Thursday lost, in speaking of the National Anti-Masonic Con vention says--" The proceedings of this body,rep resenting es it did,a numerous and respectable con stituency, firmly attached to Whig principles and Whig men, and spread over several of the most intelligent and important States in the linion,ean not but exercise an influence on the Presidential question, for which it was congregated. It is pre sumed that General Harrison and Mr. Webster will accept of the nominations of President and Vice President tendered to them respectively by the Convention." The 66 Uncut? querable.?! 03 -Senator Msnoust once said in the United Suttee Senate, that he "loved Massachusetts, be cause she had novcr been conquered, never suh dued." 3ho is still true to her integrity. Des pite the "striped-pig" and the division in the Whig ranks, sho has sustained her Whig principles. The election took place last Monday; and by the following extract from the Now York cones pondenco of the National Intelligencer,it will be seen that Loco Focoism does not prospitr on the. hallowed soil of "Old Massachusetts:" ' MAssAcuuscrrs is old Massachusetts yet. The whole story is told in that. Massachu• setts sends ortEcTma.to the Administration her writ of capias ad satisfi!ciendum, to wil : Ten or twelte thousand majority for Governor EvEnErr.

Thus Massachusettsi comes out with ten members of Congress all safe, and with a groat probability, on. another trial, of gaining a member in Mr. Parmen. ter's district. The Senate is all Whig as far as heard from, but in several districts there is no choice. The House will. have, it id thought, 100 Whig majority. Thus the re•election o DANIEL WEBSTER to tho United States yen• ate is certain. The Locofocos did their utmost.in „Mas sachusetts.

The returns of the election, as tarns received, are decidedly favorable; and the hope is indulged, that that 'State also has gone for the Whigs. Wayne County bus given a majority of one for the W hig can didate. Last August it gave 994 for the Van Buren candidate. Washtenaw has given over 300 Whig majority. This is a gain of 150. St. Clair and Monroe have also given Whig majorities. in short, the returns, as fur as received, are of the most gratifying character.
