Fourth of July.
' The birth day of Freedom,was celebrated
in this city by the Democratic Antimasone
in numbers and with a degree of zeal which
completely refutes the old story lately re
vived by the lodge, that Anttmasonry was
dying away. Though ihe day was one of
the finest of the season for the labors of
harvest, which had been much impeded by
the rains, vet the real bone and sinew of
the country wore there in their strength.
At an early hour the streets were thronged
with people whom no consideration could
deter from joining with their frtendl4, in
expressing the deep detestation with which
they regarded those who attempted to de
prive them of their rights by bringing nn
armed mob of ruffians into the halls of leg
islation, to drive by force, duly returned
members from their seats.
At one o'clock the cotnptny assembled
at the Hotel of Major Dern, and partook of
a splendid dinner. The spirit stirring,
strains of Yankee Doodle and Hail Colum
bia, played by an excellent band, breaght
to the minds of all a vivid perception of
the perils which the heroes of the revolu
tion encountered, when they pledged their
all to support the great principles of human
liberty.
After the removal of the cloth, the spa
cious rooms being found entirely too small
to contain the largo [lumber use in bled, the
company adjourned to the Court house,
where the Declaration of Independance
was forcibly and eloquently read by N
ELLMAKEM, Esq.
Upon reading the toast complimentary
to Mr. STEVENS, Mr. S. arose and ad•
lressed the assembled multitude fur near
ly nn hour, inn strain of eloquence, which
we hazard but 'ail° in salving, has never
been surpassed. Ile portray° lin glowing
colors the destructive tendency of the mad
schema advocated by the party in power.
I-le contrasted the wise and economical
course pai•suod by Joseph Ritner, with
lie million a month ndm n mullion of Davit
R. l'ortor. With the hand of a master, he
placed in it 9 true fight, and held up to pub•
lic scorn, tho treasonable attempt of the
Lodge to overturn the Constitution and
Laws in December Inst. The traitors,
Nlnntelius, Butler and Sturdevant were not
sidnred to escape but why attempt to des•
crihe what is indescribable. During the
whole time he was speaking, a falling pin
might have been heard. So unbroken was
the stillness, so deeply engaged the atten
tion of . all present, that it required but a
slight effort of the imagination to believe
that an inspired seer was lifting up the cur:
lain which hides futurity from the view,
and revealing to the assembled people, the
dark nbyes of anarchy into which all
the republics of the old world have fallen,
and to which our beloved country, driven
by the destructive energies of Locof;icoism,
is hastening with rapid strides.
After the rending of the regular toasts
the company again proceeded to the house
of Mr. Dern, wilt - re the volunteer toasts
were given. Tne Meeting was addressed
by Gro..Fono, Esq. in his usual happy
and eloquent style, after which the compa
ny seperated. The best feeling . prevailed,
and nothing occurred to mar the festivities
of the day.
•-•Out of the many excellent toasts drank on
the occasion we select the following; whilst we re
gret that want of room prevents us from laying
all of them before our renters.—[Er.

7th. Our Guest, Thaddeus Stevens,
&q.—Nature made him a man, from whom
the ethereal sparks of Genius have been
struck by collisions with the hardened front
of the Handmaid" of the. Prince of Dark
ness.
When this toast was , road, Nir. Stevens
arose, and, titidAssed the company in his
peculiarly " eloquent and powerkil manner
for nearly an hour. He was often inter
rupted by bursts of applause.
In conclusion he gave the following sen
timent :
The Supremacy of the Laws—The firm,
base upon. which rests the main pillar of
our liberties. To perpetuate the practical
operation of this principle, the last hope of
the patriot, is Democratic Antimasenry.

23d. The Committee of Safety—They

WHO WOULD NOT BE A FAR NIER
In this season, when the earth is nll a
round bur sting into life and beauty, and
nature is keeping holiday—when wham
is over and vegetation is within(' again
from its death Itke sleep—when the birds
sing their malin song from every Lush, and
rwin himself wakes to new life 'mind the
activity inround him, who would not he a
farmer ? For him alone, bloom the fair
flowers in natures field•—for him the
feathered songster pours her sheet note,
and for him the trice of creation wears
a constant smile.—Not so with the inhabi•
tants of cities, or with the professional
nine or the man of business, any where.
.These are shut out from the blessed Milo
ence of nature. Their business is with
men—restless, ambitious, and dishonest
men—they themselves are all engaged in en
eager scramble for wealth and destincnon,
some nines caring nit whom they thrust
down with unliitllowed tread, so they mount
upon the wreck, and they lose the salutary
lesson of benevolence which may be learned
from the ways of Providence in the out•
ward world.—They must maintain n con
stant strugglo with temptation, or yield to
its power. Accustomed to so flinch of
evil, they are sometimes almost tempted to
deny the existence of good. But the far
mer pursues "the even tenor of his way,"
undisturbed by the passions of men.—His
dealings are with nature, and he may, if
he will :shut his heart against it, learn
true wt -frotn its teachings. In the
springin sso he opening flower, and the
ripemn est—in sunshine and in show•
er—he y see n token of God's love and
goodness, find in the quiet of his own home,
he may almost forget the existence of evil.
Thus widely (harem are the condition of
the two classes spokou of. Yet we some
times find farmers discontented with their
lot, and eager to join with their fellows in
the feverish excitement and speculation.
And very often we see young men impatient
to leave their paternal acres, and , to seek
SS they vainly think some more honourable
or genteel mode of earning n living—they
mould rather' show a lily white hand to a
lady, as they measure off a yard of tape,
than exhibit a manly, muscular frame, with
a hand which does not shrink from contact
with implements of husbandry. It has,
indeed, become one of the great errors of
time, that young men are deserting the
true nobility of the country, for the sake of
wearing n more delicate complexion, or
living as they vainly hope, more at their
ease. Hence it is that all trades and pro.
fesssions are overstocked, that we have
more lawyers than clients, more doctors
than patients and more parsons than par
ishes
'We hoar mon complain of hard times,
mechanics cannot find situations, yet the
country is actually sufforing, and very se
verely too ; for a want of proper attention
to farming and why is it 7 Because many
a man who should have followed the plough,
has become too proud for that, and in his
aspirations to be a gentleman has • under

present scarcity of provisions. The pro
ductions has been allowed to fall below the
consumption, and this great producing
country with its spare population, has 'pre
sented the strange anomaly of importing
breadstuflii from the thick settled conntries
of Europe. It is all wrong. Young men
should be taught to regard the employment
of their fathers as ono of the most honor

Daniel Webster.
This gentleman, who is now in Europe, line
addressed a letter to the people of Mnstinchusetts,
declining to be a candidate for the Premideney at
the next election. It will be recollected, that
the Legislature of Massachusetts, had nominated
this distinguished Statesman for the Offi^e of Presi
dent of the United States.
The withdrawal or Daniel Webster as a candi
date for the Presidency leaves but two to select
from—Gen. Harrison and Henry Clay.• Let the
latter pursue the patriotic course of Daniel Web
ster, and the Country will be redeemed from the
misrule of Van Durenism.
Tho withdrawal of Daniel Webster, will in
crease the chances of Gen. Harrison's nomination
by tho Whig National Convention. Gen. Har
rison will now be supported almost unanimously
by the friends of Mr. Webster, who remain s a
candidato for tho Vico Presidency on the ticket
with the former.

Is a strange fact, that every Clay paper, in this

The Late Legislature.
Judiciary ! ! - This poor weak man, in his report
on the subject of Slavery, places himself and the
Committee in a most ridiculous attitude, end ex.
hibita a most 'mortifying ignorance. Ho says
that "if the Committee felt themselves at liberty
to act from the dictates of natural justice, of
humanity and relegion, and of the best
feelings of human nature," they would re
juice in the opportunity as well as privilege
of recommending the immediate omancipa.
tion of every man, woman and child held in
!lends-Igo &c. ; but being compelled to "view the
question in a constitutional and legal manner
I
to discuss and consider it, in reference to the pro
visions of the Constitution and Laws, of the
other States, as they really and actually are, end
not es we may think they ought to be," &c.
Ridiculous, truckling slaves I "If you felt al
liberty to act from the dictates of natural justice,
religion and the best feelings of human nature"!!!
What power on earth ought to hinder you from
acting according to the principles, dictated by
%justice, religion and the best feeling of human
nature ?" Do you say it is the Constitution
and Laws of the other States ! From whence
do the Constitution and Laws of tho other States
derive their authority, to compel you to smother the
feelings prorated by justice,iviigion and the best
feelings of human nature . 2 if they claimed
such authority, you should rise up to rebellion ;
Such a claim, if they even had color of authority
to make it, would justify revolution ; and the
blood which would ho shed, in vindicating the
cause of njusliee, religion and the hest feelings of
human nature" would be sanctified ! I
Why Slaves, John C. Calhoun never claimed
such servility from you, as you proffer unbidden.
In his insonest moods, he never thought of linking
you to discuss end consider Slavery in
. such a
manner us to violate the principles of " t justice,
religion, and the best feelings of human nature."
When, we ask you, mirrors of Constitutional
exposition, did the Slave holding States acquire,
the more than sovereign right, to compel you to
act in opposition to the dictates, of "justice re
ligion and the best feelings of human nature?"
You aro traitors to all these principles, by the
very admission, that any human power has the
right to compel you as freeborn, reasonable, end
accountable men, to violate " justice, religion,
and the boat feelings of human nature.
It is mournful to see the rengtha to which
stolid ignorance and blind servility will hurry
men.
Philadelphia City-
There arc some mon, who aro constantly en
gaged in doing that, which tends to produce a
spirit of jealousy and generate bad feelings be
tycoon the citizens of Philadelphia City and the
several counties of the State. This course is both
foolish and censurable. The interests of the city
and country aro not diverse, but reciprocal ; why
then weaken the bonds of amity by a foolish and
injudicious course.
We are led to these remarks, from having ob
served the course, pursued by one or two of the
papers in the city, and those few selfish exclu
elves, who have set themselves about exciting
a spirit of political hostility, between the city
and the country. :No one, not premeditatedly
blind, can have, failed to observe, that the late
political movement of getting up the Chambers
burg Convention, for the purpose of abusing the
anti Masons, and vilifying their principles, was
originated in the city of Philudelpnia. Why
was.. .thial—Antialasonic...ptinciplcs had never
injured tho interests of Philadelphia. On the
crntrary, tht interests of Philadelphia, have uni
formly found their ablest Champions in the Anti-
Masons of the Country.
Why then denominate the Anti-Masonic party,
tho ndisreputable party 1" Why abuse and vilify
that party, which comprises in its ranks, five
sixths of tho opponents of. Martin Van Duren,
in this State, out of the . City of Philadelphia ?
Is there any thing to be gained by a -policy such
as this ? Let the citizens of Philadelphia declare
war against the Antt-Masons, and commit the
important interests of their beautiful and enter
prising City to the tender mercies of the Loco
Pecos, and they will find cause to lament, when
perhaps it is too late. Wo hope this war upon
Anti-Masons will cease.
We will remark. that we aro very far from be
lieving that a majority of the Citizens of Phila
delphia encourage such a feeling as was manifes
ted by certain Philadelphians, at the Chambers
burg Convention, and in the remarks of certain
Editorial drones, who tbink . aright about nothing;
and whose discrimination is clever on no sub
ject, except that of a dish of "turtle soup," or
the flavor of -.goosborries."
A majority of the Editors of the city, and we
aro assured of the citizens also, entertain the
kindest and moat respectful feelings towards their
fellow citizens of the Country ; and it is a pity
that a few impracticable men should ever bo per
mitted to sow the seeds of disention between
them. We are sorry, also, to sce a servile brood
in the Country, who think it an honor to follow
the load set by such men: The loaders and the
led are oliks clog upon society ; the leaders being
knaves and the led fools'.
a.The Philadelphia Masons, who got up the
Chambersburg Convention have been most sig
nally rebuked, by the late overwhelming meeting
hold in that city. The policy of the Chambers
burg Ccinventiott wee denounced as stickle!, and
Delegates were appointed to the Septembet Cow
volition, to undo, what the reptelientatives of the
Pennsylvania Lodge did at Chamborsburg.
Chandler and Ingersoll will be left alone in their
glory, and they will be obliged to join Van flu
run towards whom they are drawn by a kin
dred feeling.
ccl-The °Pennsylvania - Telegraph and Intern ,
goncer," have been consolidated into one, and is
a paper inferior to none in the State, in point of
excellence of Character, sterling worth, and devo
ted attachment to the best interests of the country
has been, and will hereafter bd issued by R. N.

Look Here !
Something strange !—Capt. John Myers,

1918 he took a very heavy crop of clover
oil: Owing to the drought In.it year, the
clover was .destroyed—nod, without any
further cultivation, this veer, he will reap a
half crop of wheat otl so much for

The Franklin Harmony Society.
It is ever with feelings of pleasure that
I hear of Associations famed for accom
plishing the designs of this Society, and I
am pleased to see, although in the humblest
being, a laudable exertion made to acquire
intormation and intelligence. On the mor
ning of the 4th of July instant, a committee
of this Society favored mo with an invitation
to amend its "First Anniversary Celebra
tion," to be held that ovening..and I 'vas
very much gratified in being present.
Highly approving as I do, of such Socie
ties, I was induced to make some inquiries
in relation to it; and it may not be amiss,
perhaps, to state a few things in relation to
this Association. It has been in existence
for several years and now numbers upwards
of twenty members, principally apprentices
and sons of mechanics. members aro
all of respectable standing, and though they
are not yet able to display the eloquence of
a Cicero or a Deinosthenees, yet if I am not
mistaken, this Society comprioes personj
who will in afler life prove en honor to the
community. The members of this Society
now have free; access to a large library,
which has been kindly furnished them by
the members of the Gettysburg Library
Association,. This alone is a strong in
ducement, to those who wish to improve
themselves by reading to join this Associa
tion ; and such persons should earnestly
embrace the opportunity afforded them.
'rho duties obligatory upon the members
arc such as any person is capable of per
forming, and uo person should be deterred
from joining this, or a similar Association,
by the fear that he will be unable to per
form the required duties.
But to return to the Celebration on the
fourth instant. At the time appointed I re•
paired to the place designated in the invita
tion given to me. The exercises of the
evening consisted of—let. The reading of
the Declaration of Independence. 2d.
An address on the life and character of Ben
jamin Franklin. 3d. Discussion of a ques•
tion. 4tth. A selected Dialogue, spoken in
an excellent'manner,by two of the members.
6th. An Address on the Utility of Deba
ting Societies. All passed oft' very well,
and, on the whole, the young gentlemen
who were tho principal participators in the
exercises, acquitted themselves of the res•
pective duties assigned to them, with horior
to themselves arid the Ausocitition.
Long may the Society flourish, and may
I be permitted to witness other of its An.
nivorsary Celebrations. This is one of tho
few Associations which has out-lived the
brief period usually allotted to such institu
tions in this borough. The enterprising
spirit of us members is worthy of com
mendation—nnd the ability displayed on
the occasion alluded to, gives ample asst.'.
rance.that the Association will continue to
prosper, and that a connection with, and a
participation in the exercises of it, would
prove eminently beneficial to all who may
cnjoy them. ' C.
The following is an extrac t from a fourth of
July oration, &livered by Lowe, the locu foto
leader, in the Ohio Legislature. It is right to
preserve n fitness in things ; it would be a prosti_
tution of good style to use it as the voSiele of
loco foco doctines: •
"Though this your hard earned govern
ment is less liable, perhaps, to Ain, than
any other in the world, yet her great and
glorious name mny be soiled with the blood
of revolution and carnage. Rome once
bad the centipir al power pf the whole world
within her walls; yet has hor power crum
bled into ashes. And her seven hills are
pruned and worn hare. Julius Caesar once
over the Nervii, but wham in Caesar's
country? Why, it is scourged by the im•
perceptible hemlock of luxury. Poor
Athens, the birth place of Sculpture and
Geomotry. With you the canopy of war
has ever darkened your hoping hopes. The
blood of Leonidas once stained your Octa ran
streights, but left you unfettered. Oh I
Grecian, raise once more your almighty
Beige worn arm, and, with fell purpose, re
visit the wound of Ibrahim Pacha, and still
look in hope for inequality and glory, for
they may yet light upon your tried brow.
Fifty years, my old patriots, have passed
down the current and tide of time ; the
first jubilee has approached us, not as mer
cenaries, but as a free people. We see nor
hear of no assailing hand. to molest the do

It was really gratifying to witnosa the
attention shown to this gentleman during

Continual throng, going into and returning

During his speech in the Court-house, we

impression made upon the minds if those who
'saw him end heard him speak, was highly
favourable; and but few, if any, cad now
have any confidence in the falsehoods and

will enable that institution to issue five dol

Loan.
We perceive by. the "authority" papers
that the Governor has, at last, advertised
for proposals to loan the Commonwealth
funds to pay the contractors on this road.
The circumstances are these: In Februa
ry last a law was passed,and sighed by Gov.
Potter, directing the work on the Gettys
burg railroad to be stopped on the first of
March, and authorising a temporary loan
of $150,000 to settle with the contractors.
Although Gov. Porter signed the law, he
refused or neglected t 3 comply with its be
hests; and when the Senate passed a reso
llution inquiring of him what st e p s h e
had taken, lie replied that .'it was none of
the Senate's business;" for which insolence
be was however, reprimanded by the Senate
bellite its adjournment. Since the Depar
ture of the Legislature the law has been
complied with and the advertisement issued.
It is believed that the delay of Gov. Per.
ter in this matter was intended to oblige
the contractors on the . railroad to sell their
claims at a discount ,- in order that some bun
gry.Loce Foco might speculate on their
necessities; but we are happy to say that
the iniquitous scheme has been foiled, as the
contractors, one end all, have refuses to sell.

Diseases of the Lungs !
THE melancholy - efr.cts of which our
obituaries painfully exhibit, have for
some years been increasing to an alarming
extent. The dreadlul ravers of these
complsints have in a vast number of cases
been arrested, by the use of Dr. Relfe's
Asthmatic or Consumptive Pills,which have
proved one of the most useful medicines
ever yet discovered, for complaints of the
Lungs generally. This medicine has re
stored a large number of persons, from the
very borders of the grave, to health and
society, who had been given over by
their friends, and in many instances even by
their Physicians, as past ralief ! Arming a
large number of cases of cure by the use
of this invaluable medicine, the following
are presented to the public.
Copy of a Letter.
Dear Sir,—Having bed a severe cough en
tirely removed by the use of you. Dr. Rel.
Ws Asthmatic Pills, (and occasional use of
the Antibiltous Pills!) Lied it a duty in
cumbent on me to inform you more min
utely for the benefit of others who may in
like manner be affected.
To be more paticular, I would say that
for about ten years past with but little in
' termission,l have been affected with a hard,
dry, backing cough, attended with great
pain and sinking of the stomach and with
very little raising of phlegm—that I have
tried from time to time many prescriptions,
with no or at most, with a temporary relief
and had become constrained to believe
that I should recieve no lasting relief when
I was recommended to make trial of the
above named Pills, which I did with little
confidence ofa beneficial result, but contra
ry to my expectation, in a few days my
cmgh was wholly broken up, and subse
quently removed.
I feel thankful for the benefit I have re.
ceived, and am fully persunded that many,
if not all, who are affected in the manher
that I. have been, would find a complete cure
by doing as I have done. You are at lib
erty to make use of this communication in
any manner that you may deem most cape-
Went or productive of good.
Respectfully yours, &c.

Mr. Kidder,
Dear Sir :—Having been affected for
several years past with weak lunge and a
troublesome cough, which had become very
alarming, I was induced to try the efficacy
of your Relfe's Asthmatic Pills, from which
have derived so much benefit that I have
recommended them to a number of my
friends as a curd for coughs, colds, Arc. and
have heard of no instance in which the pa

Remarkable Case.
A gentleman states an extraordinary
case, that of his wife, who was reduced so
low by a pulmonary complaint, that symp
toms of approaching dissolution began to
exhibit themselves, so that her Physician
intimated that nothing further could be
done for her—that her case was past hu
man skill, and the Doctor observed shortly
idler, while at a neighbors, that Mrs. W.
was about to leave us. The same evening
a relation recommended a trial of these
(Relic's Asthmatic) Pills, they were accord
ingly administered, producing such relief,
and effecting so favorable a change during
the night, that in the morning strong hopes
were Ohl ded ofat least a partial restoration
of her health, which was effected, and made
comparitivoly comfortable by a continued
use of these Pills.
Timely Relief.
A person recently from neglectiug - a
slight colds became so seriously affected
with a severe cough, which notwithstanding
every attempt to remove, became so bad
as to oblige him to suspend attending to
business, and finally to exhibit such alarm
ing symptoms as to excite serious fears for
the result--in these circumstances ho was
advised to Make use of these Pills, which
he did, and with such complete success, as
to be able to resume his business in a few
days, entirely cured
Much more testimony might be produced
to prove this ono of the best medicines ever
discotrend tot all stages of Consumption,
Coughs, - Colds, Asthma, Hoarseness,
Wheesing, Difficulty of breathing, Tight
ness of the Chest, Pain in the Side, Spitting
