DEBATE
In the House of Representatives on
the report of the Committee in the
case of Mr. Stevens.
Mr. T..S. Smith rose, and said that the
question was so important, that although
every gentleman had 'probable made up his
mind ; and from the expression of opinion
which we have had, there cannot be
.much
doubt as to what the vote will be ; yet he
thought the occasion ought not to pass with
out an expression of opinion of those oppo
tied to the proceedings about to be adopted,
to show their decided dissent from it, and if
Possible to recall the majority of the House
from this party error, to a true sense of
their obligations under the Constitution—
to recall from error those who wore deter
mined to prevent a regularly elected and
duly canstitutod member of the house from
taking his seat. Sir, said Mr. S., I think
it a question of much more importance than
merely whether one particular individual,
whether Mr. Stevens or any body else
should occupy a seat on this floor. It is
more a question of disfranchisement-of the
people of Adams county, than of Mr.
Stevens, and that in regarding this question,
I cannot but advert to the kind of report
which has been made on this occasion, be
cause, although it states but one ground for
rejecting Mr. Stevens, yet it is careful to
go into every argument and statement cal.
culatad to raise against him strong preju.
dices, and excite party feelings. In a former
debate this matter was partially discussed
—I speak of the tone of the paper, and as
far as that tone is concerned, I shall say
nothing now ; but as to its influences in pro•
ducing efli!cts on the minds of gentlemen,
and leading them to conclusious, I think it
important to say f•omethin t .,e.
The conetitutionul right of a member
to take his seat, was admitted by all to have
been peilect in the representative from
Adams.—There was no doubt of hie elec.
tion—and if he had proposed to take his
seat at im earlier period in the sessien there
could have been no question about his ad
mission. It is in consequence of eubse
qoent events, and from his subsequent con•
duct, that it is proposed to deprive him from
taking his seat in this House, and the sub.
ject Cis been referred to in terms not alto
gether comporting with the dignity of legis
lative proceedings ; imputing to him lan
gunge in referrence to this House, that was
of a derogatory character, and designed to
impress upon us the idea, that he was unfit
to take his seat here. Now I hold that for
any thing that has happened, alter a mem
ber is entitled to take his seat here, there is
no mode under our Constitution and laws,but
expulsion or depriving him of his rights as
a member. -If there be any other mode, I
should like to see some gentleman who is
en advocate of this proceeding, attempt to
show it. Sir, there is none ; and you must
proceed against him after admission, by
preferring charges, admitting hini to make
defence, and show by the grounds of your
proceedings, that his conduct has been of
such a character as to induce two thirds of
the body as to expel him from his seat.
But this report puts the rejection of Mr.
Stevenson a single ground. It puts it on
the ground that ho has resigned his seat to
his constituents, and is therefor not entitled
to it. Sir, this is a novel idea I Resign to
his constiiuents I Where is that resigna-
Om"! What evidence have the Committee
of that resignation ?—Why is not the
evidence stated to this House?—ln what
form does it come to tho committee 1 They
have not condescended to tell us ; and if
they . have evidence of it, it is newspaper
evidence whichis no evidence at all.
(Mr. BEGINS here stated that the com
tmittee had evidpnce that M r. Stevens was
.the author of the letter, which they conside
red. fetter of resignatson. - The evidence
Speckman- was then produced, to
Vs that Mr. S. was the author of the
4r.)
Mr, BMITH resumed. That I have . t.ot
rent, tied so - far as it goes it ie conclusive elf
to his being the author of the fetter but
it it had been otheilsise, - n n a I r.upposed it
I was, it wee but a atop in the course of ar
gument ; for I hold that his consiituenta
wore not the persons to whom he was to
resign. I hold that the body to which
he was elected, was the only body to which
ho could resign. There are difficulties in
the way if it is to be supposed that a man
could resign to his constituents. How is
this House to have notice of his resigna
tion 1 How is the Speaker to bo informed
so that ho may issue a new writ of election?
Who aro the persons who are bound to give
the information, and in what manner shall
the fact be made known to the House that he
has resigned 7 One of the arguments used
in this report was, that the Speaker could
not issue a warrant for the election of a per
son in the place of Mr. Stevens, because a
newspaper intimation was not sufficient no
tice of his resignation. It that be not suffi
cient evidence of his resignation to the
House, neither ought it to be evidence of
resignation to his constituents.
But what is the amount of this resigna
tion which is believed to be of so much
importance 7 Mr. Stevens in that paper
declares that lie withdraws from the Legis
lature, and it is on this term. 'withdraw,'
that the whole argument of the report is
founded, and if a withdrawal is not a resig
nation then the whole argument of the re
port falls to the ground.—Withdrawal
Why, Sir, did not some forty-three or forty
four of us withdraw for a considerable time.
and decline to have the oath administered
to us, and to take part in the business of
this House. Then if a withdrawal was a
resignation, we had all resigned, and ceas
ed to be members of the House. Does not
every member withdraw, it he refuses to
participate in the proceedings of the House
but for a single hour? Certainly Sir, a
withdrawal from the Legislature cannot be
considered a resignation ; for it has hap
pened over and over again that the minority
of the British House of Commons have
withdrawn for a long period of time, and no
one dreamed that it was a resignation' of
their seata A withdrawal irFuo resignation,
unless words have ceased to have their for
mer import, or the word withdraw has
been substituted for the word resign ; and I
should' like the gentlemen who compose the
majority on this con:tinkle°, to stand up on '
this fl or and show us that the word with
draw signifies to resign. Mr. Stevens with.
drew from the Legislature. end so did for
ty-four members of the House withdraw.
We retired and did not participate in the '
proceedings of the House for a whole
month, but will any gentleman pretend to
say that that was a resignation ? Yet upon
this withdrawal and nothing else, upon this
declaration to his constituents and nothing
else, has the whole ground work of the
report of the , committee been founded.
But there is, accompanying this declara
tion of Mr. Stevens, another, that he sub
mits his course to his constituents with a
view of taking their advice and direction on
the subject. Suppose, when he made that
declaration to them, his constituents had im
mediately told him that ho must resume his
seat, as they would not allow him to with
draw ; 'would gentlemen have' refused it to
him? From the form in which this com
munication was worded ho thought there
must be a doubt even in the minds of a ma
jority.of the House,
__whether it was intended
as a resignation. Hie constituents did not
accept of it, and it went for nothing. It
was no resignation, but a mere withdrawal
from attendance on the body. I admit
with the report, that it is not necessary that
a resignation should be in any set form of
words; but while it need not be in any set
form of words, it should have all the requis
ites of a resignation, in order that the body
might be prepared to receive it. The
whole current of the practice on this Dub
ject has been to send in resignations to the
Speaker of the House, because information
is thereby given to the body to which the
member was elected, and to the Speaker,
whose duty it is to issue a writ for a new
election. The subsequent conduct of Mr.
Stevens which. has been referred to, shows
that it was not intended as a resignation,
but that he merely withdrew and waited un
til his constituents should determine on the
matter. He did withdraw and continued
to be• absent from the House, until his con
stituents met, as they state, , in one of the
largest meetingeever held in Adams county,
and directed him to return to the House. It
was therefore evidently nothing more than
a withdrawal, and when his constituents re
quested him to return to the House he obey.
ed their instructions.
I think I see in the whole course of his
proceeding more of a fear of the member
from Adams taking his seat, than of any
disposition to do justice. I think I see in
this flimsy fabric, built up in order to form a
pretext to an objection—a mere effort to
escape meeting him on this floor. The
whole ground work of these pretexts is a
system of persecution against the gentleman
from Adams, and to avoid the danger of his
coming into this House, and doing what he
most certainly will do if he comes in, - give
us some experience in that kind of castiga
tion, in reference to the manner of proceed.
ing in the House, which he is so well able
to do; and it is from this that gentlemen
shrink, and in consequence of this they
evince so much fear of encountering him.
The whole of the course of certain gen.
tlomen was to create a prejudice against
Mr- Stevens and induce the majority of the
House to refuse him a seat on this floor.
There is another remark in this report,
which I desire to refer to. It is this, that
the people of Adams county should have
petitioned to fill a vacancy. WhO ever
heard of such a thing. Whoa a resignation
takes place, it :a and always has been made
to the body of which the person is a mem•
ber. When a resignation is made it is made
to the body which is to act on that resigns
tion ; and the constitution never contempla•
ted that the people of this State or any por
tion of the people,should petition this, House
to give them representatives on this floor.
It is owing to the strange arguments used
in the report that this monstrous conclusion
is arrived at, that the. people must petition
the Legislature to have representatives on
this fluor. This very extraordinary posi
lion that the people must come hero with
petitions in order, that they may be repro
Dented, flows from the fallacy of the argu
ment which alleges that resignation of mem
bers can be made to their constituents, and
that those constituents must give notice of
it to the Speaker. But - how did this resig
nation take place? IC. took place in the
newspapers. To whom was it made? To
the people. Not to one or two men, but to
some hundreds. Who then, of this number
was to give notice to the Speaker? Sir,
the only way to avoid all this difficulty, is
the usual and proper way—namely. for all
resignations of Legislative bodies, to be
made to the Speaker of that body.
Now it has been contended that this has
been a resignation to the people of Adams
county, and if it was a, resignation to them,
it is their voice we have to look to for our
instructions. It is their interest that is con
corned, and the (peahen is, whether they
shall be represented on this floor, and not
whether Mr. Stevens shall take his seat in•
dividually. The question' is, whether the
people of Adams county consented to this
proceeding. They are the persons interest
ed, and if this withdrawal be not approved
by them, then it is good for nothing, and if
they do not accept of his resignation, then
wo are bound to admit him. This with
drawal was never considered by Mr. Ste
vens' constituents as a resignation. So far
from it, they have instructed him to come
back hero and take his seat ; and. having
come here for that purpose, 1 hold that we
are bound by the Constitution and the Laws
to toimit him. I have thus finally given
my views with regard to this report, end
when I hear the arguments which shall be
made in support at it, I shall express my
opinions more at length.
Riot its France.
The agitation consequent upon the pro
tracted ministerial crisis, finally ripened to
a serious riot un Sunday, the 12th of May,
of which Galignion's Nessenger gives the
following account.
Yesterday afternoon, the central quarters
of Paris were thrown into alarm by the
boating to arms of the drums of the Na
tional Guards, and the rapid assembling of
that carps, as well as the marching of troops
of the line toward the Rues St. Denis, St.
Martin, dm. and the place de Greve. It
soon became known that some serious dis
turbance had occured in the heart of the
capital, which these preparations were in
, tended to surpreas.
We learned that about 3 o'clock, from
2( 1 0 to 400 persons, principally dressed in
blouses and caps, assembled in front of the
house of Messrs. Lepage, the gunmakers,
No. 22 Rue Bourgl' Abbe, opposite the
Passage Sancede, some of them armed with
hatchets, broke through the door, and gain
ed possession of about 130 guns, principally
fowling piecas—They then left the house
for the street, moving towards the quays,
on reaching which they divided into several
parties, and proceeded to make simultaneous
attacks on the posts of the National Guards,
at the Hotel de Ville, and the posts of
troops of the line at the Palais de Justice,
opposite the flower market, all of which,
haviug no warning or expectation of
any popular commotion, were easily dis
armed.
The men who assailed the two last then
advanced to the PFefecture of Police, but
found the gates closed and strongly guarded
by the Municipal Guards, warping them of
their approach having been received.
They then returned to their confederates on
the Place do Greve, in front, of the Hotel
de Ville, who were endeavoring to raise
barricades at the approaches, and particu
larly that from the Quai Pelletier, by over
turning two omnibuses and laying them
across the entrance. These proceedings
had taken up some time, and meanwhile it
bad been found possible to issue orders from
the Prefecture of Police ; several detach
ments of horse and foot Muncipal Guards
were called out, and by 4 o'clock advanced
by different points to the Place de Greve.
As soon as their approach became known
to the insurgents, those who were ar
med went out to meet them and defend the
central point of the Hotel de Ville.
A detachment of the mounted Municipal
Guards was the first to sustain their fire, as
it debauched from the Rue des Arois.
The head of this party had reached the
top of the Rue de la Vannerie, a short dis
Lance from the Quay, when a discharge of
fire arms laid two of the leading mon low.
At this moment other detachments of the
Municipal Guards made their appearance
at different pointF, and some shots were ex
changed, but without any fatal consequences
on either side. The rioters gradually
abandoned the Quay and the place de
Greve, and withdrew in the direction of the
Rue St. Avoye.
Great agitation, wo learn, reigned at this
time in the quarters St. Martin, St. Dennis,
and Montmartre, where, however, nothing
had oocurred, except the plundering of
Messrs. Lepage's shop, and the agitators
amounting to between 3150 and 400
werb marching in a long struggling file,
without order, towards the Boulewards by
the narrow streets to the right of the Rue
St. Martin.
Towards 6 o'clock the centre of the riots
was confined to the lower parte of the quar
ters of St. Martin, St. Dennis and Mont
more, between the quays and the line formed
by the passages du Saumon, du Commerce,
du Grand Cerf, Bourg ('Abbe, and saucede,
and the rues Montmartre and St. Avoye.
Barricades were formed in thelltue St. Den
nis near the church de St. Leu, with a
fiacre and omnibus both at the corner of
the Rues Montorgueil and Tiquetonne ;
others were raised at different points of the
Rues St Martin. At half past six the bar
ricade in the Rue Tiquetonne was attacked
and carried by the first batallion of the
Grenadiers of the 3d Legion of National
Guards, followed by a detachments of the
15th Regiment of the hue. Mr. Leduex,
a National Guard, was killed, and several
persons were arrested at this point.
At about 8 o'clock the National Guards
and troops of the line were under arms in
great numbers along the Boulevards, the.
quays, Place Carrausetztind in varions parts
of the capitol netir the scene of the diSor
dors. We observed that the poets at all
the guard houses were doubled, and income
cases tripled, the men being Jrawn up un
der arms in front, and advanced sentinels
posted, to avoid any possibility of surprise.
The Rue St. Denis was at this time very
full of people, and down toward the Halle,
*the troops of the line would not allow of
any approaching the spot. Here occasional
shots were heard discharged, to which the
troops replied by rounds of ten or fifteen
musket at a time.
We understand that several people were
wounded at this time. All the cafes and
shops were shut, the gas was no lighted
in he eastern end of the Rue St. Honore.
and a barricade had been attempted to be
formed in that street, close by the entrnnce
of the Rue de Coq, 'where two omnibuses
were overturnee.
By ]O o'clock troops were in possession
of the Marche des Innocens, and many of
the surrounding streets. -
At half past ten a barricade was nttemp
led to be formed at the Pointe St. Dist ache,
at the northern entrance to the Halle,
where several small streets coming to a
point, aflord peculiar facilities for such a
defence, and a few shots wore exchanged
between the rimers and the troops. A
hackney coach driving in that direction
was attempted to be seized on to serve for
the harricade, but the driver gave his horses
the whip, and escaped with his vehicle. At
this time a strong force was posted on the
Place Victories.
11 o'clock.—We hear of no more barn
cedes or attempt at resistance ; the remain
ing rioters seem to have dis; r Ned. No
vehicles are allowed to approach the scene
of the disturbances, and all passengers in
the street are desired, on approaching any
troops, to pass on without delay.
On the next day. Monday the 11th, the
ministry was formed, and announced in the
Moniteur.

FllO3l THE
GOVERNOR.
READ IN SENATE, JUNE tz, 1839.
To the Senate of Pennsylva hia :
In reply to your resolution of the Gth
instant, I have to inform the Senate, that
in compliance with the "resolution to sus
pend the work on the Gettysburg rail road,'
prompt measures were taken to ascertain
"the whole amount of claims on the line,
on estimates, or for retained per centage ;
also for ' , Merles of officers and agents, for
labor or for any other purpose ;" and that
during the present week the reports of the
officers charged with that duty have been
received.
These are all the material facts, touch
ing the subject of your inquiry, which it
is within the power of the Executive to
communicate to the Senate. They fully
answer the call made on me by the resolu
non, unless, in inquiring me to state "why
the delay in procuring the money and pay
ing the contractors has taken place," the
' Senate intended to require me to communi
cate the reason or motives by which I have
been governed in relation to this business.
If such was the design of the Senate, I
must decline to comply with its requisition.
Being an independent and co ordinate
branch of the government. I do not re
cognize its right to make such demand,
and also because the time and manner of
advertising for and procuring Inane are
duties belonging exclusively to the Execu
live, in which the two Houses of the Legis
lature have neither resonsibility nor share.
Claiming to understand and respecting the
rights of the Senate, I shall studiously
avoid any infringmont upon them ; and
claiming also to understand the rights and
duties of the Executive, under the Consti
tution, I shall take especial care that they
shall not be invaded, and will maintain them
to the utmost of my abilities. Indepen
dence and harmony of action only can be
preserved by strictly observing the rights
of all departments of the government.
This course I shall pursue at all times,
without deviation.
The resolution for suspen , ling the said
work authorizes the Governor to negotiate
a temporary loan for the sum of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, to be repaid
within six months, fur the purpose of pay
ing the cot tractors and others. This loan,
if nemotiated before the month of July,
will fall due before the next meeting of the
legislature, and up to the present time no
provision has been made fur its redemption.
1 have waited with much solicitude for some
legislative action on the subject ofproviding
for the repayment of this money at the
end of six months from the time the loan
may be negotiated , for it certainly could
not be the intention of any one that the
Executive should be required to promise to
pay that amount of money, and to pledge
the faiih of the Commonwealth therefor,
when he knew that no legislative provision
was made for its repayment. Whenever
this provision shall be made the matter shall
be taken into consideration.

EICTBTIVE CHAMBER,
June 8, 1889.
ONE WHO FULFILLED THE COMMAND
MENT.—Mrs. Prnncinnh Peters, who recent
ly died in Pickaway county, (Ohio,) in the
eightieth year of her age, has left two hun
dred and thirty four children, grand children
and great grand-children ; of whom one

"PANTALOONERV " IA 0 nevi WOIIII jut
coined by one of the Boston
Charles B. Penrose.
The Philadelphia Evening Star pays the
speaker of the Senate the following richly
merited compliment.
CHARLES B. PENROSE.—Nothing
would delight us more than to see this dis.
ciuguished statesman and eloquent champion
of constitutional liberty, the Representative
of his native State upon the floor of the
United States Senate. He has richly earn
ed this high distinction by the devotion with
which he has stood by the interests of the
people in the Senate of "Pennsylvania. His
eloquence has secured fur hint u fame truly'
enviable, and one, too, which is far from
being confined to his own State, but which
has reached to the widest limits of the
Union. The name of Charles B. Penrose
is familiar to the pntrint every where.
His virtues and and amiebla deportment in
private life, are only eclipsed by the bril
lancy of his talents, and the power of his
forensic eloquence. Several of his speeches
! in the Senate have called forth the admira
tion of the whole country ; and the fearless
! nese and manly independence with which
he has assailed the monstrous errors of the
Federal Government, have alarmed the
fears of there tyrants, whilst they have ex•
cited their bitterst hate and persecution.
When it is known that he is to address the
Senate, hundreds flock to hear hint—the
lobbies ere crnmned with spectators anxious
to listen to his inimitable philipics and thril
ling eloquence. Some men in the Senate,
whom we could name, have reason to feel
Cult his satire can sting.at the same lime that
the musical tones of his voice can charm
his hearers. No man, Mr. Stevens perhaps
excepted, has suffered more abuse than Mr.
Penrose, from the ruffein prints in pay of
the Federal Government. A bright mink
ter their tnalevelnnt shafts, they have been
unwearied in their effirts to detract from
hie well rr erited reputation. It is in vain,
however, as the people of his native State
almost idolize him for his noble °Woos in
defence of the Constitution, and the incom
parable zeal with which he has
. ever main•
tamed their dearest rights. The time will
come when he - will have his rewaid, and
we trust it is not far hence. As it is, he has
the proud consciousness of having acquitted
himself with distinguished honor—of hav
ing faithfully discharged his duty, and to
the virtuous mao there can be no higher
reward.
UNEXPECTED El NDN ESS
The Reading (Pa.) Eagle state ;that in
cutting timber on the land of Mr. John
K.effer, of Cumru township, Berks county,
three young sqdirrels were found,with eyes
not yet opened. They were taken home
and placed in charge of a cat, which had
recently lost its olt,pring„ they received
the samn attention and maternal care as is
usually given by that animal, readily offer
ing them nourishment. Two weeks have
already elapsed, and the little intruders
are growing finely, playfully frisking about
their (osier mother, unconscious attic dan•
ger which,uncler othereircninetances, would
appear to environ them.
The following beautiful peroration closed
the late half centural address of the Hon.
J. Q. Adams at New York :
"The children of Israel, after forty •or
fifty years of toil and suffering came to the
verge of the promised land. Then and
there Moses as commanded by God, told
diem that when they had passed over Jor
dan they should - build the altar of the Lord
their God with whole stones, and charged
the people, slying—"Chese shall stand upon
Mount Gerizim to bless the people, and
these shall stand upon Mount Ebal to curse.
Joshua led them over Jordon, he wrote on
the stones a copy of the law ; and all Israel
and their elders, and officers and Judges,
stood on this side of the Ark and on that
side ; half of them over against Mount
Ebel ; and in that scene of sublimity, the
most awful and tremendous of any that had
heppened on earth, he lead all the words of
the law, and then cursing the blessings ac
cording to all that is written in the book of
the law.
"Fellow countrymen, the ark of your
covenant is the Declaration of' Indepen•
dence ; the article of confederation, whence
came curses, is our Mount Ebnl ; and 3 our
Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the
United States.—(Cheers.) Preserve it in
your inmost souls as a sign and blessing ;
bind tt as a frontlet between your eyes ;
treasure it in your heart of hearts ; think of
it when sitting down, when rising up, and
walking forth to breathe the blessed air of
heaven. Write it on the lintels of your
doors and.gate posts ; cling to it as you do
to your earthly life ; adhere to it as the
cords of your eternal salvation. So shall
your children and your children's children
celebrate this day fifty years hence, with
all and more than all, the blessings which
we enjoy—and with all, the blessings that
were promised and bestowed upon the
children of Israel, for their obedience to
the law of God."
THE n-Err GovEnnon.—We hear it in.
timated, says the Harrisburg Chronicle,
that some of the loco tacos are privately
urging Thomas B. McElwee, of Bedford,
as the next candidate of that party for Gav•
ernor of• this State. The reasons assigned
for his choice is, that his moral and private
character entitle him to it, he being the
next best in the State in these particulars,
to the present incumbent. The contest
will be a spirited one....the Rum•one ardor
will be aroused, and he will be the most gin
uine Governor, vot ever sot in the chair.
Public meetings have been called in every
township in Adams co., prior to the election
on the 14th inst. The people of that coun•
ty seem•to be awake to the deep insult of
ferd them through their representative Mr.
Stevens. Let them speak out as becomes
freemen. They have the best wishes of
every friend of his country with them
throughout the Uniun.—Columbia Cou.

qi o te r nm ese t
Both Hennes of the Leg;slature have
agreed to adjourn on the 25th instant.
03 -We refer our readsis to the Message of the
acting Governor of this Commonwealth, in an.
saver to a resolution of the Senate, inquiring into
the cause of the great and injurious delay of the
executive, in neglecting to take speedy measures
to settle and adjust the claims of the injured con
tractors on the Gettysburg Rail Road, which he
was required to do by a resolution which passed
both houses of the Legislature early In the pres
ent session: It will ha found in anothcr.rolumn;
•the amount of the Mes . sage us our friend of the
"Chronicle" truly observes is flint it was none of
the Senate's business! "Mr. Pearson ntr red
n resolution to the Senate on the receipt of this
insolent Message, reflecting in proper terms upon
this outrage. The resolution declares that the
language is insulting and disrespectful ; it will
pass that holy All join in condemning it Its an
unheard of outrage."
C, The June No. of the LAlllefl Dorm has
just come to hand, and fully supports the high
literary character it has so deservedly attained, it
is but justice to the publigher to observe that it is
ono of the foremost of the periodicals published in
this country and not inferior to any in the world.
y We have received two Nos. of the NonTrt
AMERICAN, a new paper published in Philadel
phia, of a superior size and containing the greet
est variety of useful, intecgsting, end excellent
matter. It is ably conducted, end nn ardent sup
porter of the Whig cause. We %Nish it every pos
sible success.
(0-The Election is over, and the people have
•Obtaincil a noble, constitutional triumph, over the
•violators of the Constitution. Never did the vo
`Aeries of mob law and force ninko such an effort
ai they did on Friday last; but it availed them
nothing; the freemen of Adams county were up
in their might; and gloriously have they triumph
- od—because their triumph was a constitutional
ono.
From the first moment it was known, that a
battle wee to be fought, between the friends of the
Supremacy of the Constitution and the Laws,
and their violatora; we were thankful—we were
proud, that Adams coiinty was placed in the
"fore front of the battle ;" for well we knew, that
her eons would do their duty fearlessly and well
—and so they have, and the country—aye, the
whole country, owes them a debt of gratitude for
•the great constitutional victory which they have
achieved. Their pbughs were left in half un
•finished furrows, and the farmer and his sons, be.
took themselves to the polls, as their tethers, did
in the revolution, to the field of battle. Honor
and prosperity to the people of Adams. Amen.
ai'We invite the earnest attention of our roe.

of Philadelphia city, on the Resolution
before the House, to declare tho seat of Mr.

.readers, in our next paper.

MR. EDITOR :
We've licked the Locos—used them

The mob men made a desperate struggle;
they rode this township, Menallen and

'&c.—all the while telling our people, that
there would be no effort made— ; that they
would not attend the election, and all that

ever awake, determined to make one more
effort at the ballot-box, to vindicate our

FELLOW CITIZENS:
Yesterday, you crowned your
self with distinguished honor. You have
nobly sustained, not your own cause only,
but the cause of LIBERTY. lon have
vindicated the Constitution and the laws,
and signally rebuked the Tyrants who
were trampling them in the dust. The in
clemency of the weather caul) not deter
you from doing your duty. The nation
owes you its gratitude ; for the attack upon
constitutional freedom which yea have:
just repelled, was but an experiment of :
deliberate treason, to be extended over the
Union if it had' been successful here.
Perhaps I shall find no more fit oectsmn
than this, to announce to you my determi
nation not to be a candidate for the Legis
lature at the next election.
I cannot sever my official connexion
with you without feelings of regret. The
important legislative measures in which it
has been my lot to participate, have natur
ally created considerable diversity of
opinion, even among the mast intelligent
men. The rapid and complete transition
of this State from utter destitution of tree
schools, and Collegiate and Academic en
dowments to the most liberal provision for
each, could not fail to startle many ; as
the blind suddenly restored to eight, are
chocked by the influx of light.
The retention ifi Pennsylvania of the
Capital of the Bank of the United States,
grated harshly upon the honest prejudices
of some, although it furnished us the means
of paying the interest of the State debt;
and continuing our public Improvements;
rind established Philadelphia as the financia!
Emporium of the nation.
These and other important meas
ures, in which I was supposed to bare
tuken an active part, have brought
against me herce political hostility, which
has been sustained by unscrupulous
calumny, and has sometimes degenerated
into personal hatred. Amidst ail the as
saults which unprincipled party leaders have
deemed necessary for my overthrow, you
have given me your sustaining confidence
and most generous support. While I feel
conscious that I have endeavored faithfully
to Promote your true and permanent inter
est, without much regard to my own. I am
sensible that my power to do good has not
been equal to my wishes. My only regret
is that I have not'been able to render my
self more worthy of such constituents, and
more useful to the State. I speak not
TYRONE
any h)cal benefits which I have sought to
procure for Adams County. It is lordly
worth while to bestow much care upon them,
while it is yet doubtful whether we have
a country so governed as to make it a fit
inheritance for posterity.
With lively feelings of gratitude, I relin
quish official, to resume my professional em
ployments.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Thaddeus Stevens-

I shall never cease to be grateful for the
kindness and friendship which are conspic

I request you to assure my fellow citizens,
for whom you act, of the deep emotions
which I feel at this expression of their per
sonal esteem. But I ber , leave respectfully
to segoest that this is not a fit time to in.
dulge in any parade, which may be constru
ed into a treimp'hal procession. Although
we have repelled the assaults of tyrants here,
i, et we ran have on assurance that the Corn
meal:m."lth is safe, until the same thing
shall be done throughout the State. Let
us therefore view this partial redemption
with melacchely joy, rather than with live

in civil wars, should be treated with solemn
thanlisgivicgs, rather than with :songs of
mirth.

that I have been afflicted with Dyspepsia
for the last four or five years, which has
been increasing on mo ever since to such a
degree, that for the last three or four weeks
previous to my using your valuable Garle
gant'a 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 incurable, as I 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 year 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 eat any thing
I have an inclination for, and can sleep well
at night. It was surprising to see the quart.
tity of morbid matter I discharged from my
stomach, which 1 am inclined to believe
was coated thick with it. which no doubt
rendered nil diet indigestible. Given und
er_ my, hand this Ist day of December,
