I' ;~ STAR & REPUBLICAN- BANNF.R. ISUBSTITU'rE FOR. TIIF. SUN. The newly invented light of Mr. Gaudin, ,on which experiments was recer,:ly made At , Paris, is an improved modification of the known invention of Lieut. Drummond. W kilo Drummond pours ['stream of oxygen gas through spirits of wino upon .unslacked lime, Gaudin makes use of a more etherial kind of oxygen, which he conducts through essences of turpentine. The Drummond light is fifteen times stronger than that of burning gas; the Gaudin light is we are assured, by the inventor, as strong as the eun, or thirty Thousand times stronger than gas, and of coarse ten times more than Di ummonds. The method by which M. Guudin proposes to turn the new invention to use in singularly striking. He proposes to erect in the Island of Point Neuf, in the middle of the Seine arid centre of Paris, a light house five hundred feet high, in winch is to be placed a light from a hundred thous end to a million of gas pipes strong, the power to be varied as the nights are light or dark, Paris will thus enjoy a sort of per- petual day, and as soon as the sun of Heav en is set, the sun of Point Neuf will rise.— Mechanic's Magazine.

SINGULAR LOSS OF MUSCULAR POWER. —A man has been walking the streets of Boston, lately, from the Eastward, who had suffered such a perfect loss of contractile pow• er in the posterior muscles of the neck, that he is wholly unable to hold up his head. Such is the sensation of weight, and so in convenient is it to have it dangling, as it were, on the breast, wholly mtervesing with the.use of the eyes Dr mouth, that a some. what complicated machine has been invent. en expressly to remed3 the case.

Governor, by the Wince and consent ut t he 4iitite, Down Etta Cunning is very aptly Ring trated in the following account of a steam boat Speculation told by the Pawtucket Ga zette It must be premised, that the steam boat Lexington was prepared last winter to run against the John %V. Richmond, es soon as the latter should commence her trips this spring on the route between this city and Providence. The Story runs thus : "The Transportation Company, who have almost moved heaven and earth to procure a boat that would heat the Rich• mend, went to Capt. Vanderbilt the owner of the Lexington, and proposed to him that if he would put his boat in order and beat the Richmond every trip for one month, they would then purchase the Lexington of him, and pay for her a far greater sum than she was really worth. To this Capt. Van derbilt acceded. After he had got his boat ready, he, fearing she would be unable to surpass the Richmond in speed, went to Captain Townsend, of the Richmond, and proposed to him thut if he would allow him (Vanderbilt) to beat the Richmond every trip for one month, he would pay to Capt. Townsend $l5OO. To this proposition Capt. Townsend agreed. Well, the boats commenced running, and the Lexington led the Richmond at almost any distance she pleased. She beat her every trip, and the Company were in eestacies to think that they had at length found that long sought and fervently prayed for object—a boat ca• pable of beating the Richmond ; and even the friends of the Richmond believed that the speed of their favorite boat was ech; sed. But behold ! as soon as the month expired, and Capt. Vanderbilt had sold his b at at an exorbitant price, and Capt. Town.:end had received his 81500, for keeping the Richmond back, the dunce got ii.to the Lexington, and all the tar, pitch, and tur pentine, that grow in the pine wood,coulde't Make her keep within hailing distance, or even within sight, of the Richmond ! The Company were all down in the mouth again: they hed been "tuk in"—most essentially "come over;" and this last and probably most expensive contrivance to ruin the Richmond, resulted, as all their previous ones, have done, in injury, shame and con- fusion to themselves, and nobody else."

W 11E12 EAS A Whig Convention has been culled to meet, in Chambershurg, on the 11th day of June next, for the purpose of organizing the W hig party of Penn.yr vania, and to appoint delegates to a Nation al Whig Convention, to be held at Hurris• burg in December 1839, to nominate can• dictates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States; and Where• as, the main object of the organization of the Whig party, is to secure the triumph of correct principles, which can only be el . - fl:cted, by procuring concert and unanimity of action amongst the opponents of the Na Ilona) Administration ; Then:fore, Resolved, That in furtherance of the several objects above set forth, it is necessa ry that the Whig party of Pennsylvania should be fully represented in the Cham hersburg Convention, in order, that practi cal or sectional prcle.i duces way not control its deliberations and actions. Resolved, That we believe if concert and unanimity of action can be procured amongst those friendly to Whig princtples in the State of Permst•lvania, its electoral vote will be given to ..the Whig candidate for the Presidency. Resolved, That this A2nrinimity can only be secured, by cansultin . , the preferences of the Whigs, generally. throughout the Com monwealth, and not the preterences of the Whigs of particular districts. Resolved, That, in order, that the said Convention may be the exponent of the wishes and opinions of the %1 big party, it is necessary, that all the comities of the C.anmonwealth--if possible—should be represents 1 in the Convention. Resolved, That we twlieve, the prosperi ty of the country depends upon the success of the principles held by the Wing party; and that it is therefore of the utmost import ance, that prudence should rule in the coun cils of the said party, in making choice of candidates (or the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States.

Resolved, That we recognize in the con servatives of the Union, the same devotion to the Constitution and Laws, and the bes' interests of the country, that have always characterized the Whig party, and that we look upon them ns co workers in the labor of regenerating the country. Resolved, That we remain as we have ever been, the firm, unwavering, decided opponets of Martin Van Buren, and all his political kindred ; persuaded that the dynasty of which he is chief is corrupt W : the very core —that principle has long sinele been abandoned, and men have become their idols—that the course pursued by them, has for its ultimate tendency, the entire disrup• Lion of the Bonds by which these states have been so harmoniously joined together, and that unless a thorough and entire cleansing of these worse than augean stables is speed ily effected their corruptions and filth will soon have destroyed all chat was once noble and dignified in our republican institutions. On motion, Resolved, That R. F. M'Conaughy and George Arnold, be ap pointed a committee to notify Charles B.

Acts like these can only spring from kindred motives, the mea nest or the must depraved. Faithful to the principles we have always maintained, true fo our devotion to the Con stitution, let others trample on it as the may, looking qi the dear price at which our liberties have been purchased, and regard ing the sacred obligation resting upon us, to transmit them unimpaired to our children, and firmly determined that no net or seern ng on our part, shall give. sanction to their overthrow ; we do now before the last blow shall be struck at the already tottering fabric by vile rind true torous hands, in the face of Heaven and of the count ry,most solemnly protest against the exclusion el our Representative from his lawful seat in the Lrgislature of this Cum mon weak h. As an invasion of the rights most solemnly guaranteed and secured to us li;s constituents, by the Constitution and Law , of the State, as well as by those eternal and immutable principles independent of because anterior to all legislation: As a blow struck at the liberty of the Country, if possible more deadly than the thrusts it received in December last, when a vile mob of cut throats and as.assins tri unmhed over the Executive and Legistalive powers of the State, investing thvir usurp ing organ the Provisional Government with the administration of the State.

As a most gross and wanton insult upon tho people of Adams County, deservina I hrir utmost resentment, and which it becomes them as freemen, whose necks are nut yet hound to the iron yoke of tyranny• to chas tise in the most signal and exemplery manner. • As establishing a precedent which may at any alter period he quoted in Justification of fUrther acts of usurpation upon the . ights of the people ; and 114 calculated to endan ger the peace, welfare arid security of the .:I;ite, by its tendency to d rive an nu' raged, oppre , sed and insulted people to the last remedy which God and Nature has placed in their hands, when oppression becomes in tolerable and further acquiescence would be treason to liberty. And we do most solemnly-invoke and ad. jure the people of Pennsylvania in other parts of the State, wbo are not yet ready mid %siding to stand by and witness the ut ter prostration of Liberty, to arouse them selves to the magnitude of the danger ; to see that the blow now struck, is aimed, through us, at them, and to unite with us, with fineness, determination and persever e:nee, iu preventing the ennsummation of this wanton insult to us, and outrage upon them and their rights. We tohnotosh theta to be aware of the fact that History, as we:l us the experimice of our own day, bondantly establishes that no tyranny is so galling and so dangerous as that which is exercised in the name of Liberty, when the 51(114 and vital energy of the Constitc iim is gone and nought hut its empty Coln remains: and we point them to the Datum's, %l orals and Robesmerresol France to show what dilibolical scenes rimy be enacted by iho Hid of such things as Revolutionary Tribunals, Provisional G ,serum, ins, and Committees of Sanity.

Resolved, That the vile and infamous slander heaped upon the head of Mr Ste• yens by his detractors and calumniators,are despised by us by whom their falsehood is known, and are urnply refuted by the whose tenor of Isis life and conduct as well us by the history of the age of which he Coitus a prominent part. Resolved That TitAmmus STEVENS in - exposing himself to the vials of Loco Feces wrath, in complying with our ra quest, to claim his seat, has deserved our thanks ; our mpatlates we do not tei.der him, be cause we know his lofty soul lbws superior to the puny assaults of Isis ditnioutive assailants. Resolved, That this meeting deem it in expedient to memorialize the House on the subject, because it is evident that theinajor ity have already prejudged the ease, aildre. solved to attain their [impose of the man they fear, at all hazards, but be lieving that whilst deaf to every t they ap peal, tt y are still aceessabte timing!' the medium ot their guilty fears Ate call upon 'he law 'loving, patriotic citizens of Penn sylvania, in all parts and of all patties, to unite us in condemning and denoun cing their conduct, and to give such un ex pression of public indignation, as will make the guilty usurpers trenib'e 1.1 thr ir seats and pause in their onward career t I treason and guilt.

FOR VICE•FRESIDENT, Daniel Webster. l•oPlatu" is under consideration, although full of argument, and well written, and for aught wo know to the contrary, perfectly con ect in point of doctrine, there are ohne objections to it, appear ing at this time. Wo found it impossible to give it n place this week, for want of room, we will probably lay it before our readers at an early day. • ,f,• -•We are indebted to Mr. Kettlewell, our Representative, for inipoxtuut Documents, from the scat of GoverumeaL 1 3:-Gov. Porter has vetoed the local appropria. tion bill, and why, becauso some of the Whigs and Conservatives of both houses have items in it, In which theircongtituents Cod deeply interested 1! I Is this not an outrageous abuso of power and 1 trust. cr . l.The "Sentinel" of week before last, declares, that in Ohio, "the Western Reserve, with her majority of 7 or 8000, presents an undivided front for Mr. Clay." Wo should like to know our neighbor's authority for this assertion ! The Western Reserve is the strongest abolition District in the United States ; is it probable therefore, that its inhabitants, should be so unanimous fur the Re viler of their principles. and we must add, of the common principles of humanity ? Hundreds of Whig voters, in this District, at the last guberna torial election voted for Shannon the Van Buren candidate, because it was supposed he was less hostile to abolition than Gov. Vance. How is it we ask again, that this District should be so unan imous, as the 'Sentinel,' tells us it is, in favour of ' Henry Clay, the great stay and hope of the per• petual slavery men of the South ! The fact is, our neighbor of the "Sentinel" has slept in politics since IS2U ; and having just waked up, he Li yet rubbing his eyes, and speaks at random. Since writing the above, we have seen the '.Xenia Ohio Free Press," which says that if Clay is the Candidate, the Western Reserve majority will ho reduced to nothing. This is one of the best Presses in the State. The .7iceting of Friday. • The meeting held on Friday last, was ono of the largest ever hell in this County.. The old grey headed fathers of the party wore there—they forgot their years and infirmities, and calm; for : , ward to testify their indignation, against the in. fringemont of their rights and the violation of the Constitution. When you see the old awl grey headed aroused—those who have hut a brief year or two of interest, in the afflirs of the world, as far as it concerns themselves ; you may infer, and your inference will always be that some. thing extraordinary and dangerous hiss ocenired. Many of those who were here on Friday, care but little for themselves, but they are deeply interevt cd for the welfare of their children, and their children's children ; and therefore they come, some of them it is more than likely, for the last time, o express their conviction of the danger of the crisis—their indignation at the violation of the Constitution, which these old patriarclureknoW and feel, to be the ark of our political safety. Alaytheir sons emulate their noble spirit. 0 The "compiler," a week or two since, pub hu extract from the records of the Court, of certain proceedings against Tit A aIIEUS FE TENS.. These proct edings are a part ot• tho ma. chmory of a conspiracy, entered into to destroy that gentleman. But the inUni,..,lit doings of the against his reputation, will be brought to light, and the peop'e of the County will be astonished at the unholy means used for his destruction. Thu conspirators are known, and in good tine the co:aunts of the "poisoned chalice," which they were preparing for 11lr. Stevens, '+ill be returned to their own lips. Their weapon-, bribery and perjury, and the rest of the unholy instrument., employed by them, will nut conceal their baseness and wickedness. IlEsTom, of the 'louse, hasio_ tire!) recoveird Limn his recent indisposi. ti !MM Clay Policy. It was not our wish, nor is it our intention, to become a party to any quarrel amongst the Whigs ; but it has become our duty to expose a course of policy, pursued by a fraction of that par ty, which is calculated to keep the opponents of the General and State Administrations, in a hope lea. and oeternal oiinority," in Pennsylvania. In doing this, if wo shall find that the late tn ',Fo ment in this county, the calling a Clay meeting for the 2,3 th, will subserve the purpose we have in hand, we Phan make use of it. We, however repeat, that it is not for the pur pose of taking part, in any quarrel amongst the Wltigs, nor for the mero purpose of lending as sistance, to the Harrison brunch of the Whig party, thit we have taken this matter in hand. It is to expose n system of mancruvers, for the ben efit of Mr. City, which will serve to leave this Commonwealth, a perpetual prey tA the rapacious spoilers. who have brought upon it, the double calatnnity of ruin and disgrace. I'lll , influence of Pennsylvania, on every sub ject, touching the political condition of the coun try—and which an unhappy experience has prov ed to be immediat. ly connected with its prosper ity—lces heretofore been admitted. But her pre ferences, having been discovered to he adverse to Mr. Clay, as a candidate for the Presidency, his ftictels in other States, haie determined to ovoid that influence. by calculating her into the ranks of those States,honelessly in favor of Vanßu ren,s.: they have ea/en/Wed other States,out of the Van Buren ranks into those of Mr. Clay, which are neverthless, beyond all peradventure, Van I Buren States. Yet murderous a 4 this policy, of the friends of Mr. Clay, is to Pennsylvania, her hotter nod her interests, we : ,are sorry to say, there are those in our own State, who have pur sued it, and who continue to pursue it. Against this murderous policy—this false admission of weakness when we are strong—this discouraging falsehood, that we must be conquered, when urn able to conquer, we protest. We adjure the friends of Henry Clay not to b,tray us ; if they will not help us to rescue the :quo from the grasp of the Jacobin Mob which rules it ; let them at least desist from a course, calculated to make its ruin and disgrace perpetual. But from what data have the frier Is of Mr. Clay, come to the conclusion, that the vote of Pennsylvania will be east for Van Buren! There is something sinister, in the very admission of these otherwise—nnd in respect to other places— over-sanguine gentleman, who are so candid as to give Pennsylvania to the enemy. These same men, are the. foremost to predict success every where else. There aro none like them, to cal culate their candidates into Office, before an elec tion 1 We say therefore, their admitting a State, to be certain for Vnn Buren, which there are so many reasonable grounds for believing will go against him, argues some sinister motive, in these nicking such admission. Let us look for a moment at the prospect; no State in the Union, has exhibited such an aston ishing and steady change, in favour of correct principles ns Pennsylvania. In 1828,Geri. Jack son's majority was about 51,000. In 1832 it was shout 27,000. In 1836, under the auspices of Gcn. Harrison, Van Berens majority was reduced to about 3300 ; and the circumstances under which Gen. Harrison then run, were most dis couraging and adverse. Thus it will be seen, that there has been a steady change against the party, of which Martin Van Buren is the head. Now we would ask the Claymen, who are so ready to yield Pennsylvania to Van Buren, what has checked the current of change since 1836 1 Have the acts of tho General Government, been less exceptionable since that time T No; why then set down Pennsylvania as lost l For no other reason, than that her preference, in regard to a candidate for the Presidency, may not be trouble some to Mr. Clay. Alto has thirty electoral vales. But what signifies that? say the C laymen ; Von Buren will get them ; we must count on other States to make the President. This is the policy pursued, in order, to secure the nomination of Henry Clay, who will bring ignominious de. teat upon his party, as sure as the sun will rise to-morrow His friends say they car. spare Penn sylvania. In addition to this, they must spare Ohio, New Jersey, New York, and the New Eng land States—and more titan probably Maryland and Delaws.re. But it seems, that he nnd hie friends have set their fortunes on the cast, and are determined to °stand the hozzard of the die." They will listen to no arguments ; but push on, to stock the National Convention with his blind adherents ; and in doing thiS, they have no regard for the preference of a majority of the Whig Party. They consult none but the Clay portion ; they deny to all others the right of participating in their meetings, to select delegates to the Con vention,-which is to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States. They fear the general voice ; they know their favorite is not the choice of the people. It is for this reason, that bodies constituted fur purposes entirely different, are called upon to ap point delegates to the National Convention. Look at the acts of the Legislatures of Maryland and Mississippi in appointing Delegates to this Convention. What propriety was there in such appointment by them ? There was no more con nection, between the duties of the members of these Legislatures, and the appointment of Del egates to a Convention, to nominate a Candidate for the Presidency, titan between the duties of a Statesman and a Stage Driver. It was a usurpa tion on the part of those who practised it, and a violation of all usage. Yet this convention con stituted in this manner, will be said to ha the ex ponent of the wishes & opinions of the Whig party! What respect, should the nominations, of a body, thus constituted receive from the people? None ere to be admitted Into their primary meetings(!) none arc to he admitted into their State Conventions, but Claymont, and yet a National Convention, is.to be hold to ascertain, who is the choice of the people for the Presidency !! Turn your eyes to our county, and inquire, if it is not the determination of the Claymen, to exclude all, but the (Maids of Clay, from a par. ticipation, in any proceedings, which have a refer ence to the nomination of a Candidate for the PreAdency I There are, out of about 150 Whigs in the County, about lei Claymen ; yet these 15 will rule the Whig party or will try to ruin and .11stract it. A whig county meeting was called for the 1 Ith inst. fur the purpose, of appointing Delegates to the Chumbersburg C.onvention. Notice of this meeting was given through a newspaper, and the el jest of the meeting distinct ly set forth in the cull, namely, to elect Delega.es to the Whig Convention to be held in Chambers burg, on the 11th of Juno next. In pursuance to this call, a number of Whigs met at Kurtz's (the Amtrican Hotel) the place designated in the call. After the meeting was organized, the only Clap ,iie.amt, seeing that it was likely, that per !ESE sons friendly to the election of Gon. Harrison would ho appointed, attempted to defeat the object of the meeting, by procuring • an adjourz ment. This attempt, which is now known ; .14.1 cu preconeerted, by the three or four Cleymen, in town, was defeated and delegates appointed. But the matter did not stop here ; the Gentle men who were appointed. though unwavering Whigs, were Harrisonmon, as Jive out of every , A!..r cf . the 1/11:;s: in the county are. The little Clay junto, in town, being displeased, that the will of the Whig party should have been thus expressed, determined to defeat it, by calling another meeting, at a future day, though for the very same purpose, as the one held on Saturday the I Ith inst. This has been done ; and the projectors of this meeting &clam, that the Del • egates appointed on the 11th inst. shall not have seats in the Convention ! All the Whigs in the County were invited to that meeting ; hut it is deemed a valid objection to any of its acts,that the majority of those composing it,wine not Claymen! Such is the policy of the Clay party every where. No man, who is not a Clayman is permitted to advise or participate in any matter, having refer ence to the nomination of a candidate fur the Presidency. And it is probable, that by pursuii,g the same course, throughout the State which they have done here—that is,—the dozen or two of Clnymen in every county,appointing delegates, to the exclusion and in defiance of the great body of the Whig party, they will ho able to elect Delegates to the Nationnl Convention, favorable to Henry Clay,nlthough it is well known,to every intelligent nun in the Commonwealth, that, out of the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, there are not 7000 Claymen in the State. And mark the prediction which we now make ; that if the 12,000 or 13,000 Clayrnen to the whole State, succeed in - electing Delegates to the National Convention, favorable to the nomination of Henry Clay, we shall hear no more of the admissions, that Pennsylvania is "certain for Van Buren," although his idiances to receive her vote, will be increased seventy and seven fold—nay, ho will be as alsolutely certain of receiving it, us he is of receiving, the vote of the must continued Loco Foco State in the Union. Such is the policy of the Clay party and such the means by which his nomination is to be effec ted. States which aro believed to be unfriendly to his pretension, are to be treated as confirmed Van Buren States, until the kw Claymen in them, by finesse, have succeeded in procuring the appointment of Delegates to the N-itional Con vention, by legislative cacusses, or other str at agems. whereby a consultation of the public ill may be avoided ; and then their influence, in the ['residential contest; an influence growing out of the certainty, that they will vote fur Henry Clay, will be argued as a reason, why ho should be made choice of by othor States ! ! When shall we be able to redeem our country horn the tobbers who are plundering tt of its treasures; at the same time that they are corrupting the morals of its citizens, by bribing the venal and tempting the virtuous Not until designing politicians shall yield to the public will, not attempt to control txia Fre 11l ElarrisOurg I Below We give all the proceedings of im• portance, entered into by the Legislature, since the commencement of the present :Session, with the exception of that part relating to Mr. Stevens, hi:h ire gave in our last, the publication of the county meeting, has prevented us from gi• them more at length, Mr. Stevens has refused to appear before the committee appointed to examine into the gonkficuilons, for a seat in the House, the correspoudenec on the subject we will give next weak : The bill to provide for the appointment and election of officers not provided for in the constilution, has been taken up in the House, and an amendment offered providing for the election of the Canal Commissioners by the people. Bu fi,re the question was ta ken the House adjourned. The Senate has refused to confirm nomination of A. H. Reed as President Judge of the 18111 Judicial District. The vote stood on the confirmation, yeas 15, nays 15 The bill relative to the election ofcertain public officers again came up. The ques tion was upon the amendment offiired by Mr. Morton to have the Canal Commission• ere elected by the people. This question occupied the remainder of the session in debate. It was ably supported by Mr. Pnr viance Mr. Hopkins opposed the amend. went, but expressed himself in favor of re• tarring the question to the people, to decide whether they will elect, or leave it to the Governor as is now the case. Mr. Smith of Franklin, opposed it, and spoke of it as an attempt to weaken the party in power. He said such efforts were never made by a party in power. The House adjourned before taking the question. The bill to provide for the payment of the volunteers was then considered. The debate to.day was for the first time,confined to the provisions of the bill. An amendment was offered by Mr. Fraley, city, to pay the troops for three months service. He spoke at length in favor of the amendment, point ing out the inconvenience suffered by these men—their exposure, and the justice of their claims. He said many of them could ill aflord the expense they had been at by the call of the State, and °Den much less ser• vice was much higher paid for than that proposed by the amendment. Mr. Pearson opposed the amendment, and the question was not taken. On the 14th inst, by the Rev. James Watson, Mr. Jew.: McDowia.t. of Mcrcersburg, Franklin Co. to Miss NANCY G.
