Mr. I. B. QUICLY was called and sworn, Question by Mr. BARCLAY—I wish you to state what conversation you heard be tween Gen. Twon4s C. MILLEu, GEo. It. Esry and HENRY PETRIERN, in rela tion to the difficulties, which took place at the organization of the Legislature. Answer : About three weeks since. I was silting in a room in Buehlera Hotel, Mr. Petriken and Dlr. 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. After some conversation, to which I did not pay much attention, Gen. Miller, remarked, that they bad held a meeting previous to the evening of the fourth. In the meeting some of the members of it objected to offer ing any personal violence nr injury to any person,but they were voted down by a large majority. He said they were a determ. fined set of men, and would not listen to such a proposition. After some conversation that I do net remember, Mr. Miller remarked, that the door of the Senate Chnmber, on the evening of the 4.h, 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,how the Speak. er of the Senate, escaped being seized by two men at the Senate window. He said it was well he did escape for had they caught him, the "lamp post" would have been his fate. THEY WOULD HAVE HUNG HIM UP OR STRUNG HIM UP. .1. B. QUIGLY.

ALEXANDER HAY, was called and sworn. Question by Mr. Barclay.—l wish you to state whether you were here in the first week in December last, whether you had any commotion with Murray Peartnan or any other person from the Co. of Phi. ledelphta, as to what brought them here, who paid them, and how much they were to get, and any thing else you know in relation to the disturbances. Answer.—l was here—l was speaking to Mr. Pearman, towards the latter end of the week the Legislature met. I asked, I i n what they were all doing here:he answer ed that they were selected to come here he did not know what for, but supposed it was in case of a row ; they would be ready. That he had the right sort of men with him- He said they had already. kept him over his time; that the/ were to get each for three days, sevedteen dollars and a half, and that a great many of them had spent their money already; If there was nut more money coming by the next day, Copey Grier and some of the best of them would go home. Pearman told me they were Butchers of Philadelohia. Some other men from the Co. of Phila dolphin mentioned to me,that it it had not been for a d—d crowd of Anti•Mlasons oomititout of the street where the Shahs pests H ouse is towards 'the Capitol, they would have 'laid STEVENS the d rime low. They had follow. d him from the 11W, sod wore waiting for an opportu• city to shoot him. The man who was with him had a pistol loaded and cocked waiting I I a opportunity to shoot as MIT E NS would get to the lights.of a lamp. Just about the time he (qr. Stevens) got shim the crowd came out of the street I MT, alloclikt In,—lle said if there had been more of them, to screen each other, they would have done it any how.' Question by Mr. Myers—Where do you reside ? Aosbver. At York. I came here ex• peetiog to see some fun or disturbance.-1 became acquainted with Mr. Yearn - lan in Hagerstown last fall. The convereations above alluded to, occurred at the Masonic Hall. He had an exhibition there. He pointed out to me, a large man passing a door. lie said, there goes the great Copey Grier the great fighting man. He pointed out ono man besides Copey Grier as a butcher, and that was the same man who told me about having followed Stevens I had the conversation with the man who told me about Stevens, at the Masonic Hall. I think it was on Wednesday or Thursday. It was before I had the conversation with Pearman. I was sitting in a room at the Masonic Hall with Col. Clarkson, ELI'. Russell of Gettysburg, and several other men to me unknown. We were conversing about the state of affairs here. I think I was saying I though' Stevens had got him self inn tight place, or something to that amount, when the other gentlemen left me, I mean Clarkson and Russell.-1 took a paper and commenced reading, when this man drew a chair up to where I was setting and commenced damning the Yankees &c. mentioning Stevens' name. He said he was from the county of Philadelphia.—l have never taken any side in politics. 1 did not vote fur Governor at all last fall. I have never supported any tickets upon par ty grounds. I have voted parts of both ' tickets. There were a number of others here from York at the same lime, 1 came over with Mr. Glossbrenner I think. 1 did not see tiny actual violence committed on the 4th of December. I did not see any arms in tne hands of those men. 1 did not hear the imam of the man with whom I had the conversation about following Stevens, though I think I would know him; ill were to see•him Answer to Question by Mr. Barclay. • I think that Mr. Pearrnan told me "the picked or selected men" to whom he had reference were Butchers. 1 cannot re inember.whether he told me the number was 18 or 28. It strikes me that it was one ' of these two numbers. lam not positive as to either of these numbers. He did not say whether they were armed or not. Ans to question by Judge Myers. They did not say by whom they were employed. Ans. to question by Mr. Barclay. I had heard of there being a fuss in the co. of Philadelphia, and that there would be some difficulty here. I had a horse and wagon and not much to do. I think that Mr7Glossbreneer and ms self came together, Mr. Glossbrenner is a Van Buren man. Ans. to question of Judge Myers. I - had no conversation with any person that I remember of lately in relation to these affairs—until I saw Mr. Bartley this morning in the Senate chamber. I may have mentioned it before—l may have mentioned to Mr. Smyser and others that I was subpcened hero to testify before the Committee. Ans. to question by Nit.. Barclay. The polities of moat of those who came from York were Van Buren. Among them were Sheriff Klinefelter,Daniel Sinall,Peter Ahl, D. Alex. Small, Charles Eply, Jacob Diety, George Minnick and Augustus Bar. nitz. 1 mean that they were here during the week of the disturbances. They aro all respectable men—as good as we have in our town. Of the gentlemen who came hem, Daniel Small has been appointed to a Clerkship in the Land office and Augustus Barnitz has been appointed to a County office. (Signed.) ALEXANDER HAY. MONDAY, May 20, 1838. Committee met pursuant to adjournment, present Messrs. Barclay, Fraley and Myers. Israel Gutelius, appeared before the corn• mince, upon subpoena issued, and being daly sworn according to law, depored as follows : Question by Mr. Barclay—Had you any conversation with John Montelius, when he went home, as to the cause of his changing his opinions '1 Ifso state what tho conversation was. Ans.—l bad some conversation with John Montelius, when ho went home after the Legislature had adjourned during the holydays. 'rho conversation occurred at Mr. Montelius's house, Mifilinburg, Union county. I called on John Montelius, at his residence, to enquire of him what was the cause of his change of opinion 1 The reason lie gave w i ts, that it was the only course he could take to get an OFFICE for MYSELF end his son MARCUS MON TELI US. I was Supervisor at the time, and his son was with me as foreman. Ile said we could in that way retain our situa twos. He told me he was asked to go into the Hopkins House; and that he said ho could not go in, as his best .friend (alluding to myself) and his son held office on the Canal; and if he went in they would be turned out ; that some gentlemen (I don't recollect their names) told him that that matter could be arranged, and promised him their aid and influence to carry it into effect. He refused to go into the House until he could see Governor Porter. (At this stage Of the examination Judge Myers objected to the testimony as irrevel ant to the inquiry proposed by the resold• tion under which the committee was con• stituted, but not pressing his objection, the examination was resumed, Witness continued. Mr. Montelius said he did go and see the Governor, and told him that he, his sun and myself were all opposed to him in politics. Governor Porter said that made no differ ence, and told him his boon should be grant. ed in relation to myself and his son. By Mr Barcl.iy—Did Mr. Montelius tell you that this matter of getting you and Ins son oflicis"was heavy on his mind for eight days" and that this was what he referred to in his.letter to' his son 1 Ans. Ho told me, that this matter, about getting office for myself and his son, weighed heavy upon his mind for eight days, and that this was the matter to which he referred in his letter to his son. A letter was here produced to the wit- ness, dated 17th December 1938, end the question asked. By Mr. Barclay-1s this the bend writing of John Montebus, and is this the letter to his son referred to by you in your testimony ? Ans. I have seen John Montehus write, and believe ti is to be his hand-writing.— I know this to be the same letter referred to above, because I took the letter out of the Post Office, gave it to his son, and by his nermissien opened and read it. The letter is marked "A." with the initals "J. G By Mr. Kingsbury—At what time was the conversation held between you and John Montelius, as detailed by you in your tes• timony in chief ? Ans. It was when they had adjourned and come home, the week before Porter was inaugurated, 1 think, I cannot recollect the precise date. By Mr. Kingsbury—Was any person pres. ent at the conversation, if so, who 7 Ans. No, there was no person present. It was at his own house in his parlor, nt one time, at another time before I loft town, lie repented it before his door. By Mr. Kingsbury—Were you and the son of Mr. Montelius removed from office, if so when ? Ans. We were at tbs expiration of Rit• ners administration. By Mr. Kingsbury—When did Mr. Mon tolius say the conversation between Gov. Porter and himself took place. Ans. He said he went into a room where Governor Porter was, and. then the conver sation; such as I have stated took place. By the same.—Where did you get the let ter of Mr. Montclins to his son, which you produced here. Ans. Dr. Wagonieller produced the letter becire the Committee. By. Nr. Barclay—l wish you to 'Ante whether you and young Mr. Montelius had any conversation in relation to this administration tocontinue you,and him in office, and what you had intended to do, if it was made to you. Ans. We talked the mutter over Ire• quently, 1 and Marcus Montelius, we al• ways had concluded that' we would not hold office under governor Porter, because we were opposed to him ; we talked the matter over sometimes as though we would accept the office, just to show that we could get it, and then resign, but I cannot say on my oath that I ever did really intend to accept it, for a day, nor I don't believe he would if it were to come to the test. There was never any other offer mode but at that time to me by Montelius, it was reported in the neighborhood that Marcus Montelius was going to Harrisburg to getan office. I asked him if it was so, lie.said yes, he conk; get an office, but ho liad'ut gone yet, and would'nt go. This conversation took place yesterday morning before I left home. SATURDAY, May 26, 1839. Dr. Jucob Wagoneeller, of Union county, appeared before the committee and being duly sworn according to law deposed es follows : • By Mr. Barclay—Please to state where you got the letter produced before the committee, purporting to have been writ ten by John Montelius of Union county, member of the Elouse of Representa.ives, to his son Marcus Montelius, dated 17th December, 1838, and state what said Marcus Montelius told you in relation to his lathers chango of opinion and what office John Montelius had procured to be offered to him, or any other by the ad• ministration of Gov. Porter, on condition tint he would go into the Hopkin's House Mr. Kingsbury, objects to witness ens. wering so mach of the question relating to what Marcus Montelius said in convey. gallon with him in relation to what his father John Montelius said. Objection overruled, Yeas 3 Nays 1 Ans. I got the letter from Marcus Montelius in my own house on Saturday last. There was nothing said at that time on the subject of the change of opinion. Previously he told me that he expected to got a clerkship in the Land office. He said that he was going to Harrisburg, and that 1 should get some other person in his place ; alter that again he informed me that he was nut going, that he could not du all what they wanted him to do. I asked him whether he would have to swear allegiance to the party? He replied that he would not change his principles for them. By Mr. Kingsbury—At what time did mar cur Montelius tell you that he was to have ' an office. Ans. Some time during the month of April last. By the same—Did you hold an office on the public works 7 Ans. I was engaged on the public works, not recently however. It was in the first and part of the second year of Rit ners administration. I was supervisor of Susq. Division Pennsylvania Canal. By same—How came Marcus Montelius' letter at your house ? Ans. Do lives with me. By Mr. Barclay—Did he tell you under what administration he was to get that clerkship in the-Land office? Ans. Under Governor Porters. By the same—Did he tell who had procured this clerkship for him ? Ans. His father, or the "Old man" he frequently calls him the "old man," one or the other was his reply. _ _ J. WAGONSELLER. There is said to be a man in Tennessee who walks so fast that his shadow cannot keep up with him. Samuel Hitchcock, Esq., has been elect ed Mayor, of New.Hnven. It is stated that the Hon. D.

The recent election in -Virginia, so fur, at /east, as Congress is concerned, has re• suited in a manner truly gratifying. The Whigs have unquestionably maintained their old strength, whilst we indulge a strong hope that the official returns will show a M AJORMY OF WHIGS and Conser vatives, and thus exhibit a decided gain. This result is of the deepest importance, and may be considered as settling the poli tical character of the next Congress. To demonstrate this still more fully, we subjoin the following table from the Boston Atlas. made up, it would seem before the editor had the better news from Virginia, and un• der the impression that the %V hilts would only elect nine members of Congress in that State.

Ayo, if every thing should turn out as well in the Old Dominion as we have now reason to believe, the Loco Focos must gain at least twenty members in order to prevent the Whigs from having a majority in the populnr branch of the national La gislature. This is indeed highly gratify mg and calculated to thrill with feelings of true satisfaction, every patriotic bosom in the land. But let us not act rashly. Let us not be too sanguine. And above all, let us in culcate and encourage o spirit of union, har• mony, and conciliation with regard to the Presidential Question—a spirit which shall lead us to the concentration of the entire opposition upon a single candidate, and thus to certain victory. The game is in our own hands. The people are, by an overwhelming majority, against the existing administration, rind not only willint," but anxious to terminate the political career of Martin Van Buren. Still there are symptoms of discontent and dissatisfaction in the Opposition ranks, which, unless softened, subdued, and over come, may prove the source of much un• easiness, and possibly peril the great stake at issue. A little yielding on tho part of the leaders, a little concession and liberality, and all will be well. The feeling at this moment is for harmony and concert. Lot it be encouraged and strengthened. Even the enemy admit our success with a united effint But for such an efFirt, we should never have obtained a majority in Congress.

From the Pennsylvania Intelligeneer Extracts from the investiga tion into the Conduct of the Canal Commissioners. The Senate committee proceeded on Tuesday afternoon with this duly. A num• her of witnesses were examined. The Ca nal Commissioners refused to appear. Mr. M. Stevenson, a contractor on the West Branch, testified that Packer the commissioner had declared in the streets of Williamsport that the contractors on the North Branch should "see hard times" and that certain contracts should be vaca ted, if ho "should be turned out of office for it." Poor week villian! he need have no fears of that under Gov. Porter! Mr. Byron Kingsbury, a contractor on the North Branch, and a Porter man, tes- tified that he had heard Piolett the super intendent, (in company with whom Gov. Porter recently visited Carlisle, when they both got pretty well "how come you so!) declare he would oppress one coat rec tor, Mr. Bancroft, to the utmost of his power; and that "a few men on the line shodld have to pay for their DAMNED R ASf.:!A LITY," which means, for voting against David R., Porter. , Mr. Daniel Sponenburg, a contractor on the West Branch, told him that the con tractors " had better come round," (and support Porter,) and then they "should not walk off the line!" Also,, that the Engi neers refused to estimate his work proper. ly, and that he has worked with a strong (ince of hands at 81,12 i per day, sines, January, and has received nothing for it. Mr. lohn Pettis, who to not a contract or, testified that Plolett had in conversa tion with him, named several individuals, (among the rest, Bancroft, Clarke and Semple,) who should feel his displeasure fur spsaking disrespectfully of him. Mr. Miller Horton, a contractor on the North Branch, tentitted that ho had been estimated by the present engineers at leant $3,000 too low, and that every disposition woe shown to oppress him. Alsa, that while Piolett was applying for the office of superintendent, he had declared to him, (Horton) that "every Ritner man should leave the line," and an being asked how he would effect it, answered that "if he could get them off in no other way, by he would estimate them off." Mr. 11. also tee titled that so fur frtim favoritism having benn shown him by the former engineer, (Mr. Harris,) lie always estimated rather low. Silas Noble, Esq. a member of the bar in •t'owunda, Bradford connty, testified that lie had some conversation just atter Porter's in• auguretion, with Mr. Wilmot, Pinion's clerk, relative to the 17 sections on the North Branch that had been ro•let under the old Board—that Wilmot said "Gov. Porter HAD TOLD 111 M he would appoint his canal commissioners with particular ref erence to the ABANDONING of those sections I" and that he had heard Piolett say "the IVHIGS should be got. off the line." Mr. Jesse R. Drake testified that ho had heard Piolett declare that "the [tinier con• tractors should see DA NINE!) HARD TIMES before they would get along with their contracts." Mr. James Smith, who owns a saw mill in Bradford county, testified that Piolett had told him not to furnish scantling to Moses J. Clarke, a contractor, as he would not get his money for it ; but requested him not to mention the conversation to any body. The above is the substance of the testi• mony given on Tuesday. ft proves the deliberate purpose in the minds of all, from Porter down, to rob of their rights all the contractors who refuse to "bow the knee to Beal," WITHOUT ANY FORM OF LAW OR JUSTICE. Mr. S. A. Bowman, a contractor, testi. fled that his estimate under the present en gineers is TWENTY-ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, less than the money ho has ACTUALLY Exrmsincn, and $3,000 less than the amount due by a fair measurement of his work. Joshua T. M'Cracken, testified as fol. lows, viz: "1 am a contractor on the Sinne mahoning extension, West Branch, Section 13. I got the contract last July. My last estimation under Mr. Aycricg, made in February last, was I think $3OB. In the month of February and March I did be tween 6 and 700 day's work. The esti mate was made by Mr. Morris, the present engineer, including the former (Mr. Ay• crigg's) was $260. This included Mr. Ayc:igg's estimate of $3OB and the 700 clays work done afterwards. Mr. Morris' estimate was made 1 think on the 11th of April, hut measured before. 1 and my partner, Mr Miles, then sold out to Dr. Massy. From the estimate of the 11th of April up to the next estimate made to Dr. Massy, there was betweep . 4o and 50 day's work done. Dr. Massy's estimate was either $245 or 295, for the forty and fifty day's work. I WAS 4 RITNER pTAN— Dr. MASSY WAS you Ponrun. My work was chiefly excavation. .1 lost money on my contract- I did not see Dr. Massy's esti mate—lie informed me of it hintstilf." We ask the reader to peruse the forego• iog with care. It shows the misf 'dune of a contractor daring to differ in political son. timents with the powers that be, and the advantage (as in Dr. Massy's case) of being one of their supporters ! Let the people ponder on facts like these. The examination was continued yester day. The testimony taken corroborates the above with a few additional particulars. An effort was made by Mr. Fraitey (sch,) who is a member of the committe, to sus pend the examination of the contractors, but he was very properly over•rulod by the committee.

An "Improvement Bill" has at length made 119 appearance in the Senate. 111 r. Strohm from the Proper Committee report ed it this morning. Its provisions are not ample enough for the interests of this grow. ing and internal improving Comntonwealth. The aggregate is but a little over 2,000,000 of dollars. This, however, is perhaps too !ouch, as the•disposition which is made of the money appropriated, by the Canal Com missioners is such as to render a more lib. eral provisbn, but an increasing of the wea pons of destruction in the hands of these unprincipled and party serving tyrants. Harrisburg, May 30. No business of importance was done in the Legislature to-day. The Bill provid;ng for the election of Prothonotarios, Clerks, Registers, and Re corders of Deeds, and also of. Notary Pub. lic, passed through second and final reading. The act authorizing a permanent loan, passed Harrisburg, June 1. In the House, the Bill was passed which authorizes the Governor to subscribe'for fifty thousand dollars worth of stock in the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal Company. ELECTION ANECDOTE.—Though our: e• lections sometimes produce ebulitions of an. ~,r y feeling, they also originate some excel lent jokes. One of them we shall give as related to us. The question was put to a simple foreigner by our informant, 'Have you ever been naturalized 1' Answer. 'I dont remember.' .Rues. 'Can't you recol lect whether you ever applied to the Court for that purpose?' Ans. 'No, but they had me up at Court once, and 1 was put in jail for a few days. Perhaps that was to naturalize me ; but I'm not able to say for certain.'—Nor. Bcacon.

They breathe the ri4ht spirit, and afford earnest that, (LI (Ter, 1117Nrrsonny and i.ArzMons will do their duty. on the important day of trial on the 14th ima. Let others do like wise. Resolved, That we do most solemnly de. nounce and condemn the Fnid act of the House, as an injury and wrong done to our. selves, to the rights of the whole people,nrd deserving of the most decisive condemna tion, Resolved, That the conduct above refer. red to, is further deserving of reprobation,as subjecting the people of this County to a heavy burden and expense, arising from ilia Special Election ordered to fill the pretended vacancy, without the shadow of right or cause, Resolved, That the report of the major. ity of the House committee, appointed to in quire whether Mr. STRUMS had forfeited his seat, and. reporting that. in his address to his constituents ho had last winter resign ed the same, is a palpable evasion and sub. terfuge ; that his address referred to does not contain any such resignat:on, was not so understood by us, nor by the Speaker and majoi ity of the House themselves, as manifestly appears from their suffering five months to elapse between the pretended re signation and the issuing of (lie writ to sup. ply the same; and it is a manifest after tivught to extricate themselves from a dire: greeablo and embarrassing dilemma. Resolved, That not being yet ready to lie politically disfranchised. or be deprived of the right of being represented b) the man of our choice, we will attend the Election on the 14th inst. and return THADDEUS STEVENS to the sent from which he has been unlawfully excluded—thus teaching a salutary, and we trust a lasting lesson to ty rants and usurpers of the people's rights. Resolved, That we will nut content our selves with simply going to the polls and vo ting for T. STEVENS ourselves, but will use our influence with others to induce them to do the same, and to diffuse every where n true and just understanding of the `real point ut issue—an issue not relating to the rights or interests of any one individual or even party, but vitally afflicting all.

(To fill the seat, declared vacant by the Loco Foco Friday next is a day, which will mark an era, in the political history of Pennsylvania ; it is a day from which, will more than probably be dated, the renovation or the utter ruin of the privil eges, which we have hitherto, enjoyed. If a proper spirit should actuate the people; if they show a proper respect for themselves ; a decent regard for their own rights ; if they manifest their in dignation of the wrong which has been done thorn, by giving a largo majority, then we may reasonably hope, that, hereafter, the violators of the Constitution, will pause before they are guilty of the commission of such another outrage. If -on the other hand, the people should tamely submit to the foul outrage committed against them ; if they should manifest apathy, by remain ing at home on Friday next, then we fear, that the tyrannical demagogoguca, who whilst they ,flatter tho people in words, oppress them in deed, will take this apathy and negligence, on the part of the people, as an approval of their unconstitu tional and wicked course, and practice still greater outrages and wrongs. We trust however, that the people of all parties, will be awake to their common security,—their common interest—that they will not forget how groat is the stake which they have in the issue of this election. For ti cal or woo, its influence will be great. Whether it be the one or the other, depends on the people themselves. If they manifest indignation, at the invasion of their rights, oppression will cease. If they manifest apathy and carelessness, those who have violated their rights, will violate them again —will go still further onward in wrong, until nothing will be left worth contending for by the people. Wo fear not,- however, but that the people, will justly appreciate the importance of the coming election ; and that in one unbroken phalanx, they will be found arrayed against the acts of their oppressors and tyrants. Voto for IiTEVENS ; in doing so, you will vote for your .solves. Freeineli !—Voters !—Bc on One who aspires to be a leader of the rebels, was lately heard to say at Harrisburg, in reference to the election on the 14th, that altho' they op. reared on the surface, to be making no exertions to defeat Mr. Stevenat-election, they were yet se cretly busy, and that on the 14th "a mine will be sprung which would blow Stevens and his party to the D—l This, beyond all doubt, is the plan to beguile and lull the friends of the Constitution into a false and fatal security, by sedulously keeping up among them the impression, that little or nr op position will be made; and in the mean time to have every thing secretly in readiness, to bring out their entire force; or, in the elegant language of the individual above referred to, to "spring their mine and blow us to the 1:1-1." Let not the honest freemen of Adams be so lightly deceived. Every voter in the county, in favor of mob-rule and law, depend upon it, will be at the polls ; let not those who yet reverence the Constitution and Laws, and desire to see them govern, be backward ! Where and how this secret mine is to be sprung, •we know not; but that some scheme of villany, fraud and deception is maturing, we have no doubt. Heaven and Earth will be •moved to ac complish Mr. Stevens' .defeat.; and lest these should be insufficient, the .powers of darkness will lihowiso•be invoked. Wo therdfore -say again, 'Freemen of Adams, be vigilantl Bo active'! .13e on your guard against facie who,.to theforocity of.the Wolf adds , the craft and eubtility of the Fox. Let every voter go to the .polls, and deposite his vote for Thaddeus Stevens and me snob! Let him do -this ! and lot him rememberthat4.Pennall/vania rapeda every man to do his duly.! q'Fellow citizens; we -shall not again have an opportunity of -communicating with you, be ) fore the election; we, -therefore implore you now, not to forget the duties which you owe to your ' selves, your country and your posterity. Be not deceived, by the apparent finiteness of our oppo. nents. The light is unfriendly to 'their cause, they therefore do their work in darkness—but they do it—they are active. Be so too, give a day to your country; as you value its welfare ; and though you should not, your children will reap the benefit of your exertions. We beseech you, forget not to vote on friday next. On Friday next, the great question-1s Adams county to be deprived of her right of Representation or cot—is to be decided. The eyes of thousands of our fellow freeman ure turned upon us, deeply inter ested in the result of the coming election, fully conscious of the fearful truth, that if public opinion in this county fails to condemn the unlawful, unprecedented,and outrageous abuse of power that divested our Represen tative of his seat in the Legislature, and well knowing that if the people of Adams county, on this occasion fail in a unanimous expression of the most decided, unqualified opposition to the base tyranny of their op. pressers, a precedent will be established throughout the State, which will strike a •death blow to the constitutional rights of the people. From every quarter of the State, and from men of every party, we .daily and hourly hoar, the most indignant , expressions of feeling towards the tyrants wbodared to deprive us of our rights, and the most - spirited appeals to the people of Adami county to rally as one man in de fence of their rights, and to, re-elect their persecuted repres en t a tive by such a majority as shall teach their tyrannical oppressors, that the mighty-nniTent of public opinion, in gathering strength, in impetuous torrents flows on in favour of the choice of the people—one of the noblest, the bravest, and the most persecuted of all who bear the name of Pennsylvanians. 4 -- • House of Representatives.) Friday next. your Guard 1 The Election. The Petersburg Meeting. The true Issue! The proceedings of our friends at - Petersburg, bteathe the right spirit. They show that the intelligent people of that quarter of the County, rightly discriminate between men and principles —between patriotism and party—between feeling and duty. The question to be settled on the 14th is not whether Thaddeus Stevens or James M'Divitt shall be chosen to represent Adams County ; this is a matter of small comparative moment. But it is whether the wicked attempt made, not by party, (for we believe that the mass of our oppo nents condemn it,) but by the base, selfish and corrupt leaders of party, the Prays and WEl woes, to disfranchise the people of Adams Coun ty by way of punishing them for their devoted adherence to principle, shall bo suffered to prevail or not. This is the question; and remember, fellow citizens, that you will he called upon on the 14th inst. to give a direct vote of ratification or cesnure upon it. If you vote for M'Divitt, you ratify and confirm all that has been dune to make you worse than slaves. If you vote for Stevens, you disavow and annul it, and reacquire the in valuable rights with the proud name of Free- Whatever, then, may be your personal likes or dislikes for one or the other, it is your duty to forgot them, for the moment, and vote in support of principles immeasurably more important than the election of any man to office. When this is done—when Adams County shall have nobly re conquered her rights, and shall again stand up_ right and erect on the broad pedestal of common rights, then let men, if they choose, again re vert to party associations; but honor, manliness, decency, all forbid that you should, on the pres ent occasion, cast a vote which would be in effect saying, that you are willing to hold the birth right of freemen, the elective franchise, at the will and pleasures of PRAY, MCELWEE, MILLER and their kindred bullies and cut-throats ! a•VITe again invite public attention to the De position of Mr. Quictir republished by us this day from last week, as also, to that of ALF.xAa. nen HAY. These depositims, we aro informed, are only specimens of the revelations and disclo sures of the designs and purposes of the rebel■ last December, now in a process of development before the Senate Committee. The veil is being lifted ; the mask assumed by traitors and assassins is torn off; and they and their infernal purposes now stand exposed in naked deformity, to the gaze of an indignant world. The recent outrage upon the most precious and sacred right enjoyed by freemen, that of represen tation in the Legislative body, is a result of the same spirit of diabolical and wicked ambition, which in December last, prostrated the honor and dignity of Pennsylvania at the feet of a mob of vile assassins. We know the fact, and it re dounds much to their credit, that both these mea sures, have been and are silently disapproved of, by every many of the honest and upright of the opposite party. They see in ,them, as we do, an infringement of interests and rights, in compari son with which, those of an individual or a party, are nothing—the rights and intetests of the whole people, of' every party and every name. They see in'them, a principle and a precedent, which, if sanctioned and sustained by the people, will in all fiiture time, serve as an ample cover under which any and every right belonging to any and every party or person, may be in like manner vio lated with impunity. Why, then, should not such persons for once, break through party tram mels, and do as judgment and conscience dictate, remembering that they owe an allegiance to coun try prior to that of party—a duty to themselves paramount to the will and orders of party leaders? Let them, on this occasion do so.! Let them vote for 'AUDI/MN SZETENB and against J•3l ES M'Divrrr, not on account of the ono individual or the other, but because the cause of law, the best rights of the freeman, are identified on this occasion with the success of the former, and their utter overthrow, with that of the latter. Loco Foco Economy. The state is now paying an interest of 10 per cent on money loaned since the present Administration came into power, which is now lying dead, and unapplied to the pur pose for which it was appropriated ; through incompetency or wilful neglect of the Loco Foco members o 1 the Legislature. The state is paying 5 per cent to the Gi rard Bank, which took the loan, and 5 per cent to the Banks to which the money is due—or of which it was first loaned !! The Antimasons and Whigs while in power bor rowed money at lour per cent, but the loco focos are paying ten, and at the same time keeping the money from honest creditors!! Poor old Montelius. This contemptible old driveller is scarcely worth a paragraph. If our readers will look at the deposi tions of Messrs. Wagonseller and Israel Gutelius. in another part of to-day's paper, they will see the price for which this modern Judas, betrayed his constituents, and sold himself. Truly, en ample recompense for public scorn and infamy S Why, Dopey Grier and his fellow prize fighters made a better bargain of it at seventeen dollars and half per head for three days! TNe whole of the secret history of the month of December last, is beipg developed. The world will soon see it, and history as she records the foul and polluting re cord of reckless villainy and mercenary treason, will brand its actors with indelible shame. Amen . 0 So mote it be I • Ada MS county. The unprecedented outrage committed against the people of this county by the Loco Foco majority of the Legislature, in declaring the seat of their representative vacant, has amused the just-indignation of eve!) , honest man, of every party throughout the State. All eyes are turned upon Adams county, anxious to ascertain the course she will pursue in relation to this high han ded' measure, thousands of our fellow citizens throughout the state are deeply interested in the result of the election on Friday next; then people of Adams county, rises in your might, simultan eously with one accord, and with one united voice, in tones of thunder, proclaim to the world. the noble stand you have taken in defence of the constitution and laws of the Commonwealth. The Dyott case terminated on Friday last. Dr. Dyott was found guilty of the charge of fraud committed on his eredi- Carrying out the System 01 Swindling. By the stopping of the Gettysburg Rail Road, all work on it was to be discontinued on the first day of March last, unless any of the culverts wanted completing to preserve them from decay ; then the work was to be carried on upon them until the first day of June; but no work was to be done on any part of the Road after the first day of Juno now permed, and all the pay of all the officers and agents was to stop on the 15th day of June. The Canal Commissioners determined that work was necessary to bo done to preserve the Tom's Creek culvert ; Instead however of allowing it to be done by the Contractor Mr. Clay, , the Superintendent directed him to stop work, and then put on men by the day under the man . agement of his brother, the Prince of Memphis I That work instead of being stopped on the Ist of June according to law, we understand is still in progess against law, because George Ziegler can thereby draw his pay, and keep his own check roll, and get the money from the treasury. Look at the way things are managed here as a fair sample for the State, and ask yourselves how long it will be, before you are ruined by the extrava gance of this administration. Jacob Ziegler is appointed Superintendent at three dollars a day, although he has nothing to do, never having re ceived a cent of money to pay out.—David Zieg ler is appointed his clerk at two dollars a day, although there is not a word to record ; and George Ziegler is appointed Boss to do work for bidden by law ; and to disburse the public mon ies.

We trust that ' every man of you, no matter of what party, who loves his country ; who would sooner die free than live a Slave, will go to the polls on Friday next, -Ind vote for the Constitution and Laws, in the person of Ma. Sxsv ENS. Surely no good, but much harm will come from giving a single vote to Mr. McDivitt. We trust he will yet decline being a candicate. His continuing to run makes him an abettor of the outrageous conduct of the House of Representatives. WARNING. We, yesterday evening, received advice from a friend in Harrisburg, 'that Thomas B. McElwee, Butcher Pray and their associate ruffians, aro pre paring to send some 300 or 400 men, into this county, to vote at the election, on Friday next. No outrage would be too great for these despera does to commit. We therefore warn our friends, at the different polls, to be on their guard. If these birthing cutthroats should appear, 'receive and treat them as they deserve. The Crisis. In the annals of the Commonwealth, there has occurred no such crisis as the present. Party spirit, has often, betrayed party men, into acts of an exceptionable, and sometimes of a violent char. acter t but never before have they venturrd, even in their madest moment—to commit such an out rage, as to deprive a legally elected representative of the people, of his seat, when that seat was not contested by any other claimant. The republic is on the road to ruin ; and men possessing any respect for the common principles of Justice and humanity, grow sick at the recitals of wrong and oppression, committed, by those at present in power in this Commonwealth. Every principle of right is disregarded ; every thing is made to yield to tho claims of the greedy partizan. Neither law nor justice, secure for a moment, against fraud and oppression. The faith of the State, pledged to individuals is violated, to the ruin of those who have trusted it. Contractors upon the Public Works, who have labored for months, since they have received a cent from the Commonwealth, are brought in debt to it. Others, who have expended. in the construction of the contracts, allotted to them, $20,000 or $30,000, are to be paid by $lO,OOO or $12,000, according to the estimates made by engineers, hired and paid to cheat—and the very same work, they say, was let, at too high rates. by the former Canal Commissioners! Yet men, who have really expended, on their contracts $20,000 or $90,000, are estimated at $lO,OOO or $12,000. This is consistency with a vengeance! Work let too high, which costs three times as much to construct, as the contractor is paid for it, when it is done !! But this is not all. When the agents of the State have cheated the contrac tors out of the half and in some instances two thirds, of what is duo to them, they refuse to pay the balance that is admitted to be due! All jus tice is thus outraged. Thus it will bo perceived that our tyrants, have not been guilty of a solitary act of injustice and aggression alone. The whole of their acts, evince the same disregard of the laws. All who think differently from them, must be punished; the delegate of the people, invested with the sacred character of Representative, as well as the man, who works for hire, to support his family, on the Public Works. The former, by driving him from the Feat, which the people had sent him to fill; the latter, by driving him front the employ ment, by which he subsists his fw.nily. It is time, therefore, for all, who respect justice and their own rights, to rise against such, unheard of tyranny. If the people suffer such wrong to be practised upon their fellow citizens, they will invite wrong to be done to themselves, and soon all men of all parties, will be involved in the calamity; which a despotism must bring upon ell alike. Let them defend • their rights -while they pt have the power, The reign or Tyranny. We are now living under the most cruel des potism that ever disgraced any nation. The agents of the Commonwealth show the most utter disregard of the Constitution ; of all laws and the principles of common justice. Contract en tered into between the State and Individuals are sot at naught; and those individuals oppressed and ground into the dust in the most cruel and remorseleis manner. Contractors on our Rail Road, whose prices were so low as to render it difficult for them to save themselevs at fair estima tes, have had the estimates made by Mr. Haupt, cut down in a ruinous degree—some of them have been robbed of 2000, some of 3000 and some as high as 7000 dollars ! And even the little bal ance which they admit to be duo them they refuse to pay 1 The Governor was required by low to borrow the money in February lost, to pay them on the first of March. The loan was a temporary one, for only six months; and could have been procured in two days, hut yet the Governor has never applied for it up to this moment ; and many of the Contractors have been greatly distressed for the want of it.

GARLEGANT'6 IBAILSADI OF HEALTEL Prepared only by the sole Proprietor JOHN S MILLER, Frederick City, Md. JUST received, a further supply of this value btu medicine by the subscriber, which has already acquired a celebrity which few others over has in so short. a time received. This Balsam of Health, ib a medicinal and vegetable compound, warranted a safe and effectual remedy not only for the Dyspepsia, but for the whole train of dis eases resulting from and connected with a disor dered condition of the stomach and liver, or do rangement of the digestive functions, such ns general debility or weakness, flatulency, loss of appetite, sour eructations and acidities of the stom ach, costiveness, head ache, jaundice, flatulous and bilious clrolic, &c. As a Family Medicine, it stands unrivalled and should be possessed by all heads of families particularly by those that. aro subject to a constipation of the bowels, it operates as a gentle aperient gives tone and action to the stomach and bowels, and enlivens and invigor ates the whole system. This medicine does not contain a particle of mercury, but is composed altogether of vegetable matter, which renders it perfectly harmless, and can be taken at all times, and is no hinderance to business, nor any proper customary habits. Now testimony of cases aro frequently received, a few are subjoined, certificates from highly res pectable persons and many more could bo produ ced, but it is deemed unnecessary, as if these will not be believed neither will a host of certificates be credited. Therefore the proprietor earnestly requests the afflicted to give his Balsam of Health a fair trial and he is confident that they will not be disappointed. The public aro respectfully requested to read his directions in which they will find many Cures performed and apply for his medicine, which can be obtained of his Agent in this town by whole sale and retail. Mr. John S. Miller—This is to certify that I bought of your agent at Gettysburg several bottles of your valuable Balsam of Health, which completely cured me of the Dyspepsia. I had taken much of other patent Medicines, but found no relief, until I made MO of your Balsam of Health, which effected a radical cure, and I do re• commend it to all those who are troubled with that obstinate disorder Dyspepsia. NICHOLAS WEAVER. Gettysburg, Pa. Nov. 2,1838. 1 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 Air the last three or four weeks previous to my using your valuable Garbs 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 any kind of comfort during the time, because of a severe pain in the stomach.. In fact, I had given up myself as in - curable, as 1 had recourse to so many different 'remedies without any benefit. At length I heard of your Balsam of Health being 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 the stomach to retain in some degree what I eat, and the pain in a great measure subsiding. After using only one and a half bottles I found myself entirely well ; and can now oat any thing I have an inclination for, and can sleep well at night. It was surprising to se6 the quan. tity of morbid matter I discharged from my stomach, which 1 am inclined to believe was coated thick with it, which' no doubt rendered all diet Indigestible.
