MR. EDITOR :
I attended the Whig meeting,
held in the Court House on the 28th of
M 4, and I think it but right that its doing
should be made public. Public meetings
have grown so common that• no body thinks
of noticing their proceedings; but this
meeting was of a novel charaoter and novely
conducted. It is worth, therefore, a pas-
sing glance.
When this Whig meeting assembled,
the active man and moving spirit, turned
out to be a loco foco, but who asserts that
he is for Clay—mind you, say, asserts.
After nominating variouspersons, who had
gone to the meeting, to be spectators of its
novelty, and .who declined to serve, the
meeting, was finally organized, and partly
out of this latter material —spectators—
strangers to its views. There was a Preei
dent, two Vice Presidents and two Secreta
ries. The President was a Clay Whig,
and a good man. The Vice Presidents,
one was an uncompromising Anti Mason,
in favour of Harrison, and the electoral
Ticket, already settled; the other was also,
a Harrison man, and as fir as State politics
are concerned, an Anti • Mason, and both
good men and true--honorable and patriotic,
who condemned the procedure of the meet•
ing. The Secretaries,=l believe are both
Harrisonmen—who have acted with the
Auk Masonic party, up to the time of this
meeting—both having been frequently offi-,
cars in Anti Masonic meetings and
both respectable and excellent men, who
through politeness and good manners, lent
their services, as did the Vice Presidents,
to aid •in the organization of the meeting.
The meeting having been thus organized,
proceeded to business.—A Committee was
appointed to draft resolutions, on which
William M'Clellan, a veteran Loco Foco,
though not chairman, acted conspicuously.
He, it to understood is the author of the re
solutions—yet he declares that he will nog
abide by the decission of the National
Convention, unless it shall nominate Henry
Clay.
After the committee had withdrawn,
Robert M'Conaughy, Esq., was called on
to address the meeting, which he did with
great good tense, and in a most concilatory
manner—showing the necessity of concert
and harmony—that this meeting was cal
culated to do mischiefimd breed dissension
in the Whig ranks, by electing Delegates,
when Delegates had already been elected,
at a former Whig meeting, to which all the
Whigs in the Countp.--not the exclusive
friends of this man or that man—had been
invited. The only thing which I thought
objectionable, in his speech, was that he
did not seem to giveifie Anti Masons credit
for the patriotism which they have deserved,
by their constant and active hostility to the
General. Administration, and to political
. tyranny and corruption, whether practised,
is or out of the Lodge. Upon the whole
however, his speech was an excellent one—
exhibiting a devotion to the best interests
of the country, which some others would
do well to imitate.
Mr. til'Conaughy followed by a man,
whose romper and l c , seemed to be in
strikins unison-,.both remarkably bad.
He qt eft, by denying that the Whig
weetiombeld . ct Kurtz's, on the 11th of
May last , bad any power to appoint dele
gates to the Cbambereburg Convention.
Tho reason he alledged, was, that although
the eall•inis addressed to the Whigs, it was
in an Anti Masonic newspaper, and that
tbersibre, those who assembled in pursuan
ce of ouch a.call,oould not be Whigs—par.
ticularly s ca tbei names of Harrison and
Webster, the nominees of another party,
stand at the head of-the paper, in which
the call was made! Very close reasoning
followed by a very logical conclusion !
Look out ; hereafter, every man who at
tends a sale, advertised in an Anti Masi:mid
newspaper, will be, straightway held to be
an Anti Mason, "dyed in the wool ;" and
every man who shall be shaved by an Anti-
Masonic barber, will have an Anti Masonic
beard !
What this geotleman lacked in logic,was
eked out, by the facts supplied by Mr. Har
per, who promted him from the "Sentinel,"
or some other newspaper which he held
in his band. He abused Anti Masonry, and
anti Masons, thinking thereby to acquire
the favour of the Lodge and the Locofocos.
When he had concluded, he was followed
by Mr. A. R. Stevenson, in vindication of
the former' meeting, and the Whigs, who
had participated in at. During his speech,
be was several times interrupted by a gen
tleman, whose good breeding ought to have
taught him the impropriety of such con
duct. But Mr. Stevenson - was not ember.
reseed by these interruptions ; and it is ad
mitted on all, hands—even on the part of
the exclusive Clay men, that his speech was
manly, dignified and sensible—the reverse
in every repect of him who propceeded
him.
After be had concluded, he was replied
to, by_the person whom he had followed,
and whom he had misused by treating as a
gentleman. This person rose in a rage,
and between a stutter and a storm, called
the gentleman who preceeded him, a tool,
a knave, end both the gentlemen, liars.
We must however, do most of the gentle
men who participated. in the meeting, the
justice, to say, that they disaproved,of the
open violation of decency and good man
ners, of which the individual referred to,
was "guilty." This man played the bran.
docio—said that he "held himself respon
sible for what he said, drc. He, however
took a good care to avoid responsibility,
by placing himself beyond the pale of de
cency. After the discussion was over, in
which the Harrison Whigs, manifestly had
the advantage, a motion was made, to adopt
the nomination of delegates, made at the
fins meeting, namely, Messrs. Picking and
M'Conaughy. The vote was put and car
ried, as is believed by almost every spec.
tater, and as, I have been informed, will. be
certified, by both the Vice Presidents of the
meeting. The President doubted, and de
cided it was not, and no division vas asked
for ; it being perfectly apparent, that the
Claymen had determined to elect other De
legates, whether they had a majority or not.
This they did.
Pains had been taken to keep the Harri
son Whigs from the meeting—as it was,
however they had a majority, which were
collected hastily in town. The meeting
was small-r -counting both sections, there .
were not twenty five, who took part in the
proceedings of the meeting. I have a list
of the names of those who attended.
A SPECTATOR.
POLITICAL.
Loco Ibco Tyranny.
It will be seen, by referring to the !Avis.
lative proceeding of the past week, that the
Locofocos have excluded Mr. Stevens from
the seat to which he was elected by a large
majority of the people of Adams counts,
and that Mr. Kettlewell has, in accordance
with the instructions of his constituents;
withdrawn from the Hopkins House of Re
presentatives.
The reason assigned for this tyrannical
act is, that Mr. Stevens virtually resigned
his seat in an address which, he wrote to
his constituents , in Decembek last. Now
it is certain the. the law does not recognize
virtual resignations. A member can resign
in no other way than by informing the
Speaker of the body to which he was elec
ted, that such is his intention. It is not as
serted that Mr. Stevens ever did this.
The true reason of this lawless proceedings
is, that they are afraid of his talents, and
dread the exposures he would undoubtedly
make of their hypocricy and corruption.
But it is not only the citizens of Adams
county that are insulted by this unwarrantable
assumption of power. H Mr. Stevens can
be turned out of his seat contrary to law,
so may the Representative of any other
county, whenever it pleases the majority to
do so.
By this act the freedom of election jade•
stroyed ; the laws are insolently trampled
on, and the people are made slaves to those
-who are nothing more than their official
servants.
The principle that the minority must
submit is just and right, so long as the ma•
jority act according to the rules laid down
for all. When the majority oversteps those
bounds, and show a fixed detarmination to
govern without any regard to the fundamen
tal law, the minority is released from all
obligation, and are justifiable in asserting
their rights by force.
Was the private , character of Mr., Ste
vent as depraved as it is virtuous ; had his
public acts been productive of as much in
jury to the Commonwealth as they have
been of undoubted benefit, it would give no
power to the Legislature to exclude him
from his seat in the House of -Representa
tives. It is an exercise of power founded
soleljr on physical force, and which to be
effectually resisted, must be met in the
same way. Should such a crisis arrive ' let
the responsibility rest with those' who dis
regard the rights of the people.---Ln.eas.

.71" Stevens.
The New York Evening. Post, than
which there is not a more rank Loco Foca
journal in the whole country, in speaking of
the conduct of the rebel House in excluding
Hr. Stevens from a seat in that body. pro.
nounces the proceedings "informal, injudi
cious and singularly inconsistent with dem
ocrat:6.d principles, and then argues accor•
dingly :
"The power of excluding a member, if
it existed at all is one that should be spar
ingly used. The highest sanction of its
exercise is, at the best, mere parlimentary
usage, whilst the solemn deliberate choice
of the people is the very essence of freedom,
the source of their security, and one of
the most cherished privileges. It is a right
not to be lightly invaded. Already our
representative bodies have acquired too
much power, and the stronger and the more
numerous the fetters imposed to their ac
lions, the better it will be for the country."
The Investigation•
The investigation of the conduct of the
present Board of Canal Commissioners is
going on with spirit. The evidence of
their official misconduct and iniquity is
overwhelming. They are trembling like
condemned criminals before a halter, and
using every means in their power to shrink
from the investigation, but all in vain—
On Tuesday they had the impudence to
send to the Senate a PROTEST, DENY
ING THEIR RIGHT TO INQUIRE
INTO THEIR OFFICIAL ACTS—thns
avowing - themselves ABOVE the reach of
the Legislature, the Constitution or the
People. But they castigation they received
in that body from Messrs. Ewing, Wil
liams, Barcley, Pearson, Bell, Strohm and
others, will bo remembered by those who
heard it while they live; their supporters,
Messrs. Brown and Parson, the former of
whom took to his old retreat the "postern I
Kate," while the latter was content to sit
"wound up." The protest of the Com•
missionera was 'ejected •by a vote of 26 to
6.
Our-readers can scarcely Imagine the
amount and depth of iniquity proved against
the Commissioners ; and when it is laid
before the public, these officials of David
R. will find it difficult to shun the torrent of
just indignation thnt will assail them on
every side. Penn. Tel.

Mr. Pan Tenth Ascension.
We have been favored by Mr. Patimax
with the following interesting account- of
his tenth Serial excursion, in which he trav
elled from Reading to Camden, by an ir•
regular route of almost eighty miles, in two
hours and ten minutes. '
To Me Editor of Me United Stales Gazette.-
Sir.—My tenth ascension having been
marked by some peculiarities, I beg leave
to offer you the subjoined narrative.
After continuing four hours in the infla
tion of my balloon, which was effected in
the usual manner, I ascended from Reading
on the 20th instant exactly at a quarter ho
fore 4 P. M., amidst a respectable amid
blage. Nothing occurred to disturb She
preliminary arrangements, end near !tie,
earth even the wind was still, so that the
balloon rose vertically to the distance of
nearly two miles, before it passed from over
the town.
While earnestly engaged in surveying
the delightful country, with its rivers and
green fields,' was startled by a sudden in
clination of the balloon to the south east
ward, caused by a current of strong wind
from the north west• I was then carried
off rapidly to a distance of about ten miles
from Reading, when the air became, to my
surprise, oppressively warm, and a fit of ir
resistable drowsiness assailed me. I made
every effort to keep awake, for 1 was aware
of the danger of sleep in such a situation.
I might be carried up to the frozen regions
above, and thero.perish with cold, or might
fall into woods or water while asleep, and
incur unusual hazzard both for my person
and balloon; but thastupor increased, 14. d
a few minutes after 4 o'clock, I fell Into a
sound sleep, from which, after the lapse of
an hour and ten minutes, I was aroused by
a singular ringing in my ears, and a severe
pain in my head.
By this time, I had fallen much nearer
to the earth, and after noticing the time,felt
surprised to find myself west of the Schuyl
kill, about ten or fifteen miles from Norris
town. I could then see Philadelphia,Ches
ter, and a host of towns and villages, and I
heard that strange mixture of sounds,
which one discerns on approaching a great
city, on the night of some festival. What
it was, I could not tell ; but as 1 subse
quently heard it very loudly on nearing the
city, I really think it was the day-noise of
the great Pennsylvania emporium.
At this time, the balloon was going rapid
ly to the south and east, which rourse it
kept until 1 was due west from the Lazaret
ta, at the distance of from 15 to 20 miles.
By a gradual decent, I then fell into a south
western current of air, by which I was
driven to the north east, carried across the
Schuylkill, below Gray's Ferry; transport
ed over Southwark and the Delaware; and
I finally, at five monies before 6 P. M. lan
ded safely and quietly in New Jersey, about
a mile beyond Camden.
Before closing my letter, I cannot with
propriety omit the expression of my sense
of obligation to the good friends at Read.
ing, who assisted me in my enterprise; nor
can I forget the kind offices of the gentle
men in New Jersey who received me in my
decent, and aided me in souring my bal.
loon and conveying it to Camden.
On the whole, this was, in all respects,
the most agreeable of my mronautic trips;
and exceded all others in the rapidity of the
rnoyement. Taking into view the irregu
larity of my course, 1 could not have trayo
oiled at a lass rate than that of forty miles
per hour.
I am, very respectfully,
Yours, Etc.

TIM GREAT Bets, OP 5109 COW.—Much
has been said and written in relation to
tbis wonderful mechanical production; and
as .there are many opinions afloat about
the actual size of it, we subjoin a correct
estimate of its weight and cost. Its actual
Russian weight is 12,387 poods, 443,772
lbs. English gross weight. it was cast in
the reign of the Empress. Anne, and cost
a sum equal to e 327,500. The sound of
it rather amazed and deafened, than de
lighted the inhabitants of Moscow. Its
real value is probably double its original
cost, fOr every one ambitious to contribute
towards it threw gold or silver into the
furnaces containing the metal, which wore
four in number. The geometrical dimen
sions are as follows: The piece by which
the bell was hung to the beam, from the
top of the bell to the beam, 3 feet 1 inch ;
length of the bell, from the beam to the
bottom, 21 feet 4 1-2 inches; diameter of
the top, 7 feet 4 3 4 inches; diameter at
the bottom, 22 feet 4 3 4 inches.
THE LAST FesHroar.—We saw yesterday
in Chesnut street, a lady richly attired in
a led colored silk dress—and what, in ad.
dit ion to her beauty, rendered her the obser
ved of all observers, she had an -apron o
the same beautifully frilled and ruffled, and
that fastened on behind.—Spirit of the
Times.
The Franklin Repository says:—Several
Farmers from different parts of the country
have assured us that the Rye looks bad,
end that not more thnn a half a crop can be
calculated upon. From Washington and
Frederick counties, Maryland, we have aim•
ilar accounts.
MORUS M ULTICA ULUS.
We opine the time is not far distant when
our farmers will take their grain to mill
in silk bags. What think ye 7—Bncks

Certainly, prospects are bright that way
—a farmer dresses in silk, with silk gloves,
and a mulberry leaf hat, may take his corn
to market in a silk bag,. if he grows any.
But we fear, before long, corn will be among
the things that have been, and Indian meal
will be sold by the ounce, as mulberry seed
is now. We would rather on a speculation
give six cents an ear for corn, than two
cents a bud for morns what-de-ye-call it ?

It will be seen, by reference to another column
that meetings will be held, in various parts of the
I county. We hope that these meetings will be
I generally attetSded, by all men of all parties.
The questions tia,ba discussed, ate not party quas-
Lions ; they are questions which affect the moat
important rights of the whole people.
The act, to be sure, which drove our Represen-
I tetive from his seat, was the act of a party, nut
I it will not, we hope, be sanctioned by the people.
I The reign of parties is of brief duration ; and
if the people sustain an act of tyranny and injus
tice, in the ruling party ; when its day shall have
ended, and another party shall bear rule, and
exercise the same injustice and practise the same
99 SI
128 46i
tyranny; the approval of the people in regard to
this act, will but encourage, another invasion of
their rights, by another party when it shall have
the power. Lot the people now, of all parties,
I speak in a voice, loud enough to bo hoard bytheir
oppressors, inthe halls which such acts desecrate,
if they do not wish to see it repeated. The blow
which the Constitution received, was aimed
through it, at them. Let them acquicco in the
wrong which has been done them, and it will be
wrested, and acts, if possible of greater outrage
will be added. This then, we repeat it, is a con
-1 teat between the people and tyranny—between
the Constitution, the safeguard of all our rights,
and its violators.
Let the people take heed, that they resist op.
pression upon the threshold ; let it not enter their
doors, to work its outrages upon their hearths, as
it has done in other countries, and as it will do
here, if not resisted.

The Election.
The ; Election is on ME ,14th DAY OF
JUNE. The Inspectors, Judges, atc.. of the lest
General Election. are to hold the approaching
election. Where vacancies have occurred, by
death or removal, they must be filled on the
morning of the election.
INCrLet no man say, in reference to the
approaching election, that it is not of im•
portance, because the Legislature must
soon ADJOURN. if there was but a day,
but an hour—or a minute, it is of over•
whelmiou importance ; not for the sake of
having a Representative at Harrisburg ;
but because the question is directly prop°
-aed to the people, whether they sanction
this outrage upon their representative and
- themselves, or not. Let them answer this
question as loud as their indignation should
be deep, and their oppressors will tremble
An their rents.
O:7 - Thaddeus Stevens.
The seat of Mr. illtzvexii, having been &els-
Ted vacant, by the House of Representatives, he
lbas presented himself to his fellow citizens, of all
panics, as a candidate for their suffrages at the
epeeist Election, to be held on the 14th day of
June next. He desires no party nomination ;
he expects the votes of the virtuous ; the perrio
tic, and the good of all parties. If the people
value their liberty, in this instance, they should
lay aside party, and rally as one man, in a com
mon cause—their own cause .1
It is time that party should be forgotten, and
to appeal made to virtue and patriotism. If such
nn„appeal be made,.and disregarded, then we may
boil our necks, to those, who, in the name of
Democracy and Liberty, are wresting from us
our most sacred rights, and erecting on their ruins,
the most dangerous of all kinds of despotism—a
;despotism without any of .those checks, which
are the safeguards if the subjects, of the so styled,
legitimate despots of the old World.
azyMe hope our friends will beer in mind,
OW the Till)!IBLEI AND EXPENSE of this
Thaddeus Stevens.
No man has hem ever more abused and perse
cuted than THADDEUS STEVENS; and no
man living or dead has done more for the State
than he has.
Not only is he persecuted and reviled on ac
count of his public acts, but his enemies, with a
bitterness bf malignity, never :71xceeded, have
conspired to take away his private reputation—
slanders and calumnies, both of a public and pri
vate character, are sown abroad with an industry.
which would be highly ereditAle if exercised in
a better cause. He is a candidate for re-election
on the 14th inst. Let the pack of blood-hounds,
who have been let loose upon him. see that the
people, whom he has served so ably and so faith
fully, still retain their confidence in his integrity
and uprightness. Gn one and all to the election—
gyre a day, to your old and well tried Represen
tative—give a day to your own rights, so grossly
'violated in his person—give a day, to the cause
of liberty trampled upon—not merely in voting.
but 'ln '
procuring your neighbors to vote—in
seeing that none of them leg behind, when a
blow is to be struck, for that first right of freemen
—the right of representation.
The : Public Meetings.
The late Whig Meeting.
This meeting geted precisely on the principles
we supposed it would--exclusive Clay(not Whig)
principles.
Great eirats hod been made by the Clay sec
tion of the Whig party to have all their friends at
the meeting. Claymen, were anxiously solici
ted to attend ; but Whigs, who were known to be
in favor of Harrison, were given to understand,
although the terms of the call were general,—
that their attendance was not desired. This me
thud of filling the meeticifwae pursued in private•
by the authors of the movement, and publicly b)
the Editor of the -.Sentinel," who next to Willi
am M'Clellan, is the sheet anchor of Clayiem
Ind Masonry in the county. In the remarks of
the Editor of the "Sentinel," which accompany
the notice, for this second Whig meeting, and on
which he expressess his views, and his opposition
to the meeting held on the 11th inst., we find the
following characteristic invitation. We trust that
ail who think as we do, will
'tot forget to attend the meeting, on Me 28th
inal, at the Court House.
Of course, the Harrison Whip, in the county,
felt insulted at the cull, and did not think fit to at
tend the meeting, of those "who think' ,
just as the Editor of the Sentinel thinks.
However, the daY ,OZuner, and the meeting,—if
that can be called a meeting, "where two or three
are gathered together"-:-assembled. After con
siderable drumming and mustering, some ten or
twelve Clay Whigs, all told, were collected in the
Court Haute; and some four or fire Harrisonmen.
A portion of Harrison Whigs of the Borough,
after looking on for some time, thought that it
would be prudent to go into the meeting, so that
the some gentlemen, who were elected by the
Whig meeting on rife lIW May, as delegates to
the Chamberalwrg Convention might be again
elected. This was done, in order to avoid the
embarrassment of two sets of Delegates, claiming
seats in the Convention—not that this second
meeting was di:limed a legitimate one, or that it
had power to rescind the acts of the former.
A motion was accordingly made, "that Messrs.
M'Conaughy and Picking should be two of the
Delegates to represent Adams County in the said
Convention." A majority voted in favour of this
motion ; but the chairman declared, that ho
•thought the noes had it." The motion was
no further pressed ; the Harrison Whigs seeing
that the Clayman were determined to appoint
delegates, whether they had a ma j ority or not.
That Messrs. M'Conaughy and Picking, who
were elected delegates by the first meeting, were
re-elected at the second meeting there can be no
doubt. The two Vice Presidents, as intelligent,
high minded and honorable men as are in the
county, are both willing to certify, that there were
a majority in . their favour; and so will all the I
spectators who where presents ; if we except the
loco limos, who seemed to he active in aiding the
Clayman—William M'Clellan, who has been (or
years successively the loco loco candidate for
Burgess,tin this Borough, being one of the most
active, in drumming up the force and organizing
the meeting. So inveterate, is the Loco focoiam
of ‘lt. M'Clellan, considered to be, that he goes
by the name of the "STEREOTYPED CAN
DIDATE" of that party.
It is our opinion, that this meeting was purely
a loco loco movement, and that the easy editor of
the "Sentinel" was drawn into it, by the artful
and cunning leader to whom We have just before
alluded; and that throng:l the Editor who was thus
"come over,"—to use a homely phrsse, others
were led to sanction it, believing it to be a Whig
.We do not wish to charge the 'editor of the
"Sentinel" with conniving with the authors of this
movement, to betray the Whigs into the loco foco
ranks ; we only mean to say List he woe beguiled
into it ; end innocently led others into it. who be
lieved him to be its author.. We ere inclined to
believe this meeting to have originated with the
loco focos, because of their chuckling, at what
they call the ' , pluck" 'of the Claymen ; that is,
that a minority: of them elected Delegates to
ChambersbUrg ;- 'and alio from the fact that the
aforesaid leader has boasted that he was its au
thor.
We do not desire to detract from the respec
tability, of a number of the Clayman attending
the meeting. The President Abraham King, Esq.
and Mr. Hulic ore both intelligent mon, and so
were others who were in attendance. We only
reprrobate the cohrae pursued, in going into this
meeting, got up for the purpoed of distracting
the Whig p irty, and insulting the gentlemen,
nominated as Delegates, at a former meeting, by
substituting others in their place.
The late Outrage.
We presume, that if any citizen of this Corn.
monwealth, had been told six months ago, that
the tame was near, when representatives of the
people, elected by a decided msjonties, would be
refused seats in the Legislature, such citizen
would have believed that the person, making such
en assertion was attempting to docrive him. But
this thinghas come to pass, and in the person of a
representative of Adams County.
For most evils there is a remedy—for most
wrongs, a means of redress has been provided.
But in this instance, although a grevious wrong
has been done to the people, they are without any
tribunal which can repair the injury. The Con.
etitution was framed by them for their security and
protection, but the men now in power, disregard
its fundamental and plainest provisions. It se
cures to the people, the right of representing them
selves in tho Legislative body—the law-making
branch,of the Government, by such men as they
themselves shall choose. But this right has been
nullified, in the cue oldie representative of Ad
ams County. 'fbirt representative had all the
constitutional quir: thms—he was of age—was
a citizen, residen it sufficient length of time
in the County— elected by a majority of more .
than 1400 votes—was regularly returned elected,
and his election not disputed. By the Constitu.
Linn he was entitled to a seat without question.
But the Constitution is no more the prament
law of the State—the will of a few wicked and
reckless demagogues, is stronger than the consti
tution. The only peaceable nrans of redress, is
through the ballot-box—this has failed us. in the
case of our own representative, and may fail us
again; but we owe it to society—to good order,
to use every possible Means of redress, once and
again, before the last terrible remedy of violence,
so talon appealed by our adversaries, is resort
ed to.
The time may come, and the signs which pre
cede it are already thickening, when it would be
a crime—treason to liberty, and the principles of
the Revolution, to suffer longer the infliction of
wrong at the hands of our oppressors. Rut for
awhile, let us endure the wrongs which are heap.
ed upon our heads—let us in this instance, appeal
to the ballot-box, and in tones, loud as our wrongs
are deep, tell the traitors to the constitution that
we are awake to their treason.

FELLOW CITIZENS :
I received the proceedings
of a meeting, held in Gettysburg, which 1
am informed was the largest ever held in
the county, on the subject of .the course
pursued by a majority of the Legislature, in
refusing to admit my colleague T. Stevens,
to a seat in that body. In the proceedings
referred to, I was requested to present
them to the House, and ask for the reading
of them, and should the Legislature still
refuse to admit him to his constitutional
and legal claim, it was made tn) duty to
withdraw from the House. I now have the
satisfaction to inform you that I have per.
formed the duties required of me, as well
that of presenting the proceedings of your
meeting, regardless of every thing .but
ycur wishes, as that of withdrawing from
the Legislature, to await your further
instructions on the subject,--beheving with
you that it is the duty of members of the
- Legislature to be subject to the instructions
of their cOnstituents from time to time, and
that Mr. Stevens, in obeying those instruc
tions from you, neither forfeited nor resign,
ed his seat. The committee, however, ap
pointed to inquire whether he had not for
feited it, transcending all power-greeted to
them by the Legislature, reported he had
resigned it,—again the House assumed the
authority to act upon that report, and re
jected him, and by so doing established a
precedent which strikes a death blow to the
constitutional rights of the people, and if
acted upon, throughout the State, will de
atroy one 9f our dearest rights,—the righ
of suffrve.

FELLOW! CITIZMNS:
hi accordance with your wishes, I
presente myself to the body now exercising
the dutie)t orate House of Reprensentatives
of this Commonwealth, and desired to have
administered to me the oaths prescrided 'by
low. A majority of that body, using the
same unconstitutional and unlawful means
which inve ted them with official authority,
refused to allow me to . nccupy that seat to
which Ihad been called by the free choice
of . my' ~ f elhtsv citizens. Under the moat
shallow, hypocritical, and .false pretences
they tiave,declared my, seat vacant, and
imposed upon you the expense of a new
te4e-i•eld on the 14th day of June
next —Va•cloing so they have committedin
unprik.thltitit oiirtettge on the rights of the
people:-=;;.Llf'subniitterl to by that people,
LIBERTY has become but a mere name.
Ahead: Os - the' Constitution suspended, and
the most ' snared contracts between the
State arnd individuals are violated with the
most dating and *reckless audacity. The
tyrants, who have usurped power, have de
tertnined to oppress and plunder the people.
It is for you to say whether you' will be
their willing slaves. If they are permitted
finally to triumph, you hold yout: liberty,your
ives, your reputation, and your property, at
their will alone.
I had hoped that no circumstances would
occur, which would render it necessary for
me to be again a candidate for your .suffra
gee. Both my inclination and my interest
require me to retire from public life. But I
will notexecute that settled intention, when
it wilt be construed into cowardice or de
spondency. To refuse to be a candidate
now, would be seized upon by my enemies
as an evidence that I distrust the people,
end am afraid to intrust to them the redress
of their own wrongs. I feel no such fear—
no such distrust Without intending any
invidious comparison, I have always said,
what I still believe. that the people of Adams
county have more intelligence, and not less
honesty, than the people of any other
county in the State. Co such a people I
can have no fear in appealing against lawless
agresssion. To them Ido appeal to restore
to toe that which was their live gift, and
therefore my right—and of which I bays I
been robbed by those who "feel power and
forget right."
I present myself to you as a candidate to
fill that vacancy, which was created to wound
my and your feelings.' I do not wait to re•
ceive a party nomination from my friends,
The question now to be decided is above
all party considerations, and would be dis
graced by sinking it to the level of a party
contest.—Every freeman most be impelled
to resist this public outrage as a personal
wrong to
. himsell. Every thing Jeer to
him in hip country ; his liberty, the liberty
of his•children, and the title to his pro
perty, admon eh him to rise above every
paltry personal and party consideration, and
rebuke tyranny at that great tribunal of
freemen—the ballot box.
While, however, you are determined, re
solute and energetic, let me implore you
not to imitate the example of our oppres•
sore ; but do every thing calmly and tem
perately. This admonition is hardly ne-
cessary to the orderly eitizens of Adams
county ; but when oppression is so intoler.
able, as at present, it is difficult fur the most
peaceable and quiet men to control their in
dignation.
With respect and gratitude,
I am your obedient servant,

The contest, is between THADDEUS STE

Startling DiscloNure
THE HARRISBURG MOB PROV
EN BY GEN. MILLER'S
OWN CONFESSIONS !
It will be recollected and is within the knowled
ge of every one of our readers, that the Loco Focus
throughout the state, with characteristic audacity
and shamelessness, have and do deny that there
was any mob at Harrisburg, in December last, at
the assembling of the Legislature, and that they
either practised or intended any violence.
We have procured some of the testimony given
before the committee of the Senate on this subject,
a part of which we this week publish. We ask
our readers and every honest man to read the con
clusive and decisive evidence furnished by the
testimony of Mr. QUIGLY, of the treasonable,
bloody and murderous designs of the Loco Feco
mob on that occasion, headed by such men as
Gen. THOMAS C. MILLER, who pow disgra
ces a seat in the Senate of Pennsylvania, when he
would better become a convict's cell in the
Penitentiary. Gen. Miller, it will be recollected
was a member of the Committee of Safety, and
one of the most bloody minded-and ferocious of
the gang of cutthroats, who trampled- the consti
tution under foot. Here are his own acknow
ledgements and declarations, made to Messrs.
Espy and Petriken, leading men of the Loco
Foco party. Can any ono longer doubt ? and
is there an honest or decent man now breath
ing, who can look upon Gen. MILLER and his
easociate assassins, with any other feeltag than
those of unmh,gled abhorrence 1 For tittiselves,
we consider this man as much exclud4_‘form the
pale of decent societhav an outlawed and convicted
felon. Again we say to our readers, read, read,

Question by Mr. BARCLAY-. 4 wish you to
state what conversation you heard be
tween Gen. TuomAs C. MILLER, Gro.
R. Esrr and HENRY PETRIKEN, in rela
tion to the difficulties, Which" took place
at the organization of the Legislature.
Answer :
About three weeks since, I was sitting in
a, room in Buehlers Hotel, Mr. Petriken
and Mr. Espy, were in the room. Gen.
Thomas C. Miller came in soon after,
the conversation turned on the subject of
the disturbances of the fourth of December.
Mier some conversation, to which I did not
pay much attention, Gen. Miller, remarked,
that - they had held a meeting previous to
the evening el the fourth, fin-the-meeting
some of the members of it objected to offbr
ing any personal violence or injury to any
person,but they were voted,down by a large
majority. He said they were a determ.
toed set of men, and would not listen to such
a proposition. After some conversation that
I do not remember, Mr. Miller remarked,
that the door of the. Senate Chamber, on
the evening of the 4th, was crowded and
that there was no possibility of escaping in
that direction; soon after he remarked that
it had been a matter of astonishment to
himself as well as to others,bow the Speak.
er of the Sedate escaped being seized by
two men at the genate window. He said it
was well he did escape for had they caught
him, the "lamp post" would have been hie
fate. THEY WOULD HAVE HUNG
HIM UP OR STRUNG HIM UP.

Gettysburg, Pa. Nov. 2,1830.
Mr. John S. Miller—Sir :—I do certify,
that I have been afflicted with Dyspepsia
for the last four or five years, which has
been increasing on me ever since to such a
degree, that for the last three or four weeks
previous to my using your valuable Garbo
gant's Balsam of Health, I am certain I had
not eaten one ounce a day of any kind of;
food, neither was I able to sleep with acp
kind of comfort during the time, because,
of a severe pain in the stomach, Ili fbeti,
I had given up myself as incurable, as hate
recourse to so many different remedies ,
withoutany benefit. 'At length, I heard or
your Balsam of Health beirlii advertised,.
and was induced to. try it. I accordingly
bought one bottle from your agent, (Wm.
Miller, Winchester.) After taking the first
three doses, I found tile stomach to retain
in some degree what, I eat, and the pain it:
a great measure ',subsiding: Alter using
only one and a ;Hilt bottles I found myself
entirely well ; end can now eat' any thing
I have an incAnation for, and can sleep well
et night. it was surprising to see the qua°.
tity of Imrolid matter I discharged from my
stomack, which I am inclined to believe
was erJated thick with, it, which no doubt
rem:fired all diet indigestible. Given und
er my hand this ht day of December,
1836.
