And when ho contemplates an attack of a fortress, will examine it carefully, to ascer tain the ino4 coisailalie points, and discover the force and character of the garrison. He will also know the character of his own hoops, and the nature of his means and ma abinery for its reduction. Having dono this, he will make his rittack,:tiot on the en tire line of fortification, if it be unequally protected, but on the most awailable point ,which will be that one which is less :strongly fortified and protected by ate least efficient troops. Such was the prudent course of those first en -agedin rho Temperance reforma tion. In our country, probably nine tenths of the intemperance was in the use of ar dent spirite. Here then was the first ob ject of attnck. This too was the moat as satiable point, for the ev&l effects of its use could be most evidently set forth; and cer tainly this part of the fortress was garrison ed by tne least efficient troops, for here was stationed the great host of drunkards, who .had neither strength nor discipline. And besides thie, such a plan caused, in some measure, dissension in the enemy's ranks; for the moderate, and even somewhat im moderate wino drinker was unwilling to be el mad with the intemperate whiskey drink er and would relinquish even his occasional glass of brandy and water for the sake of being in better company. Had the temperance reformation com menced in England; where the drinks of drunkards are chiefly gin and ale, these should have been the articles named in the pledge. Had it commenced in France or Germany, wine would have been the pro per article.—So that the duty of abstain ing from these articles respectively, being binding in these respective countries, ab. stinenco from them, in such places would have been a duty.—And it it has, or may hereafter appear, that the great end cannot be obtained while the use of wine is per. mined in our country, then it too should be in every temperance pledge. And the same may be said of any other intoxicating Muer. Every man ought to feel the obligation testing on him, not only to bo temperate himself, but to do that which will beat pro mote the cause, whether he is bound by a pledge or not—and decline every drink, the use of which by him would, in his own judgment and conscience, retard the tem perance cause. It will then, I think, be the duty of temperance societies to adopt that pledge which, in their best and calm est judgment, will contribute most to the banishment of intemperance from our coun try. The conduct of Temperance Societies and their members should be carefully reg. ulated. It is all important that they pre serve an unsullied character. This cannot be done while they acknowledge any one as a member who is known to violate his pledge, or (if the pledge, be limited to ar dent spirits) one wh3 is known to use any intoxicating drink intemperately. Much less, should such an one be permitted to ap pear prominent in their proceedings, or ad dress their meetings. A great debidoratum is, to render your meetings interesting. Much, if not all, the ordinary business should be done by com mittees, for is it almost impossible to retain an auditory while a long roll is read, or a Constitution handed round for signature. Animated discussion of subjects connected with temperanco do much Jo interest—as weH as the accomplishment of some secon dary object. Temperance societies, as such, should be particularly cautious not to engage in poli tics, nor should they suffer diverse relig ious creeds to interrupt their harmony. I think, however, that every man ought to throw his political influence in laver of, not only a temperate, but a temperance man, in preference to one who is neither ; for the cause cannot finally succeed, until proper legislative aid is givin to it. This aid how. ever, cannot go far in advance of public opinion, but I think it ought to lead the way. And I also believe it would be right for you (not ns a society, but as individuals,) to lot it be known that you will vote for no man, whatever his politics or party, who is .himself intemperate, or who buys votes with liquor. Such a determination, carried out by all temperate men, would banish in temperance from the elective offices of gov ernment, and our logislative halls—by which our State and country are so much ,disgraced. You should also persevere in respectfully but firmly pressing our Legislture to res trict the sale of ardent spirits, until it is ac complished. Legislation is very far behind public opinion .on this subject. But in or der to have it done, we must send sober men there, and men who are not afraid to .do they duty. You should, however, ba carefull not to conduct yourselves towards any who may oppose you, in such a man ner as to subject your society to the charge of persecution or intolerance. It may be expected I would give my views on the traffic in ardent spirits. They will readily be inferred from what I have said roldivo to their use. 3 hope the time is .not lb distant when the sale of spirits will to ,found in our crtminal code. The manner in which intemperate men should be treated by the members of Tem perance sccieties, is an in:leo:taut cotisidera tion. It must.aver be membered. that de. based as they may homey are still our fel low beings, awl certainly merit our commi seration, as well as our exertion to reclaim them if possible. The time was when symmetry at Corm end bodily powesa were the "sine quanon" to honor and preferment ! But this was in the dark ages, •Jwhen might was right" and the sword was the arbiter in every,quarrel ; and the time has long since come, when intellectuality is the key which unlocks the door of the temple of Fume and admits the pltessor to all its privileges. Yet the time is coming, if it has not already com menced when another part of our three fold troure will recieve its cooed of praise.— When tim more/ will stand far above either aminals or intellectual greatness. It is raid then, that men of temperance, who ge,lcrally associates with it the other vir tees, should consider themselves as holding a rank in society far above the intern. perato, and thou ought to arsnme it. If a man who has held the same rank with thorn, or boon even as high as the highest, be comes intemperate, he ahonld be cast out from among them. Ido not mean he shoud be despised and troddon under foot—far from it ; but I mean, that ho should be made tope', and the world, given to Icioto, that he has lost his resPetability, and is no longer deemed worthy the companionship of the better part of the community. We uniformly treat drunkards with too much respect; they feel as if they had still some claims to decency. We associate too much with them—we are to often seen in the bar. room—that .hould be given up to them and their orgies. A word to those who though not intem perate, are not members of temperance societies, and to such as are temperate drinkers You stand, my friends, on what you call neutral ground ; you are friendly to tem perance, at least you wish it success; for to suppose you to be opposed to it, would be to consider you fond of drink yourselves ; or for the sake of supposed gain, to be pleas. ed to see others drink; or, that you oppose it merely for opposition's sake ; and I will not charge you with either of these things. But while you may be on neutral, are you not on dangerows ground ? There was a time when a man might drink moderately, or when hey-day of yoith, occasionally car ry it to excess; and yet live and die a respectable and sober man. There have been very many such cases, and in some sections of our country it may still be true ; but generally, that time has gone by. There is much more danger of a moder ate drinkner nJw than there was then. Then he could have drunk with moderate drinkers, who never revelled in their cups or drank excess—he can seldom do so now—for there are few such. Then he could have drunk moderately, and retained the confidence of tho wise, the good, and the respectable—but he cannot do it now. Then he could have pursued his course without fear, and free froarihe goadings of conscience, because he did not know his danger ; but now if he would ?lot behold it, he must shut hie eyes against it, and with reckless determination rush onwards to his fate. Then be would have drunken with out knowledge :noff ho drinkslin spite of it. Then he would have drunk openly : now, he drinks in darkness and in secret, and "stolen waters are sweet." But it can not be long concealed : even now his friends suspect him, and ore long ho will be I:,n -IP/aced that all is lost, fold his hands in de spair, and sink into the vile inebriate. Then, had the warning voice of friendship, or the sweet and persuasive pleadings of af fection been heard, many would have re turned from their cups and abandoned them forever ; but now, if a man drinks, he must reject the one and diaregaad the other ; leave friendship to mourn, and affectionate hearts to weep in all the bitterness of disap• plowed hope. If a man drinks in opposi• tion to. all those inducements, and in de fiance of all these restraints; it proves such a powerful propensity to indulgence, and such an utter disregard of all those in fluences which usually regulate human con duct, that there can be but little hope con corning him. Some of you perhap drink at regular h ours and by this means expect to secure your selves against intemperance. But let me tell you, for 1 know it, that such is the con stitution of the human system, that a habit will ho acquired much sooner by indulgence at regular, than at irregular periods. And there is not only a periodical tendency in many of the states of the system—but there is also a law by which those periods become shorter and shorter generally, but half the former, at every change—so that you in crease, rather than lessen your danger by such a course. Do some of you hold back from the tem perance cause, because you are unwilling to alienate the liberty you have in drinking when you please ? I have already shown that the moral obligation of doing good rests alike on all. But we ask of you no new or extraordinary relinquishment ; it is the principle on which governments are formed, and it enters into every contract for the performance of any service. If it is however, a sacrifice for you to relinquish the occasional or regular use of intoxicating drinks; the sooner you make the sacrifice the better, for the habit is already fastening itself upon you. If it is not a sacrifice, then why "will you halt between two opinions ?" I would entreat you, if you wish to stand on the safest ground yourselves, if you de sire to secure the sobriety of your children and your friends, unite with us. I would entreat you as those who love their country, and would preserve its free institutions from the lawless hand of violence, that you would come and assist us to banish from the land, that curse which is destroying our wealth, our lives, our intellect and our mor als; and giving all up to sensuality, to passion, and to brutal violence. I would entreat you as those who bear the name of christians, to respect its clarns to stand forth and assert its rights, to redeem our country from that wide spread sin, which hour by hour calls to heaven for vengeance, and we may hope that altho' the sword be already lifted up, the blow maybe withold, or fall but lightly on our country. will yet only repeat toi'yoa the text we heard in this house the last Sabbath: "If Baal be God follow him—but if the Loan be God follow Him." 'What, sir, have my client did 2 Nothing sir—nothing. But there stand the man what have did the mischief.

ROBERT SMITH, D. M. SMYSER, GEO L. FAIJSS, County JOHN WOLFORD, JOHN HORNER, I Commit' JOS. BA UGHER, JAMES BELL, Jr. ) For the Star f# Banner Ma. PAXTON A certain stupid writer in the Compiler of week before last, (under the editorial head) has attempted to deceive the public by, a long piece, of its perfect io• Heretics and lying stupidity as ever emina ted from his addled brain ; he however has proved one thing, namely : that he still is as great a ziwn, as every public act of his life has hitherto proved him to be. After indulging in some dull and puerile remarks about Mr. John Paxton and the clerkship at Columbia, displaying his mato and ignorance in every line, he winds up with the most notorious lie of all ; by say ing, "No Dean was allowed to retain office during the late reign of terror," and that "The proscription of the lenders of the Ritner party was even carried so far, that the teachers of the Common Schools wore dismissed, to make room for men who had nothing to recommend them but their impudence, and an unprincipled devotion to party." It is well known that this assertion is false, tor every person in this Borough is acquainted with the reason of the discharge of the teacher alluded to; it was not on ac- count of his political sentiments that he was discharged, but on account of his incompe tency, being entirely ignorant of an ordina ry education, and on account of his indo knee, having been found sleeping at his school desk while his pupils made the most of their time. This LYING writer, has not informed the public, that the whole of the citizens of Gettysburg who had children going to school were rejoiced at the removal of this man, who was cheating their LITTLE CEIILDREN out of that, which to them was better than gold—neither has he told the public, that this same discharged teacher —was considered by all who knew him, to be a QUACK in teaching, as the writer of ' that piece is a QUACK 10 pleading law. A FRIEND TO EDUCATION. From the Harrisburg Chronicle D. R. Porter and Temperance. Mr. Editor—Having heard several per sons express their surprizo that the Gover nor did not either attend the "Temperance Celebration" on the 4th inst. to_which-lie was invited by the committee of arrange. meat on that occasion, or send them a com munication declining the "honor," accom ['allied by a sentiment, as is usual in such cases, 1 have been induced to make inquiry into the matter, with a view to give the Governor a fair chance for his life. Un derstanding that yours is the meta respect able sheet on that side of the question, and believing that this vindication which I novo ing to make will have more-weight with the people when it appears in an opposition print, than if I were to publish it in one of hie own papers, I am induced , to request that you will give it publicity. The prevailing opinion seems to be that he viewed the whole matter as a scheme to keep him sober on the 4th, and therefore treated it with the silent contempt which it merited. This was certainly right ; for if the Governor has not a right to get drunk, when .he pleases, 1 would like to know who has I Thebe Temperance fellows are an incorrigible set of Federalci If they had their way-they wodld'at leave a single man to glorify the day by substituting the "spir it" of '39, for that of '76. This is the only proper manner of celebrating the day. 1 &in% know how to suppress the indignation I ,feel towards that Temperance party! They thought they had the Gove roar in "snug" for one day ut !oast, and were fouls enough to think that lie ,would condescend to notice their letter by replying to it, and sending thorn a sentiment, in case ho did not attend himself; but it was "no go." The Governor saw through it. Ho was not slow in discovering, that if he came out in favor of temperance it wonld'nt do : •'lf a house bo divided against itself, that house cannot stand." The Governor know this and very wisely stuck to his own side of the question. True, they wore going to cele brate without- respect to party, and he might have been assured that no toasts or any thing of that kind would be given to wound his political feelings, but this only made the thing the worse, as they left him no chance of escaping honorably. It seem ed that he must either attend the colebrat:on or send them asontiment, remotely, at least, reflecting on the conduct of those who get drunk. But the firmness and wisdom of the Executive was never more manifest than on this trying occasion. His giant in tellect, and fearless character wore found all sufficient to the task. The whole day was occupied in toasting and being toasted on the real •'Monongahela," and in the evening, accompanied by a few tried friends, he, went to the Exchange. (I haven't got this part of the story from hie own mouth, but doubt riot its correctness, as his native diffi dence would not allow him to speak of all his merits, even to me.) But it is said he went to the Exchange, and upon the "light fantastic too" spent the night in the brilliant ball room, waltzing with the fair cherubs of our town, in the real German style. When they had gone clear through the walts•book, and had "encored" nigh upon two-thirds of them, His Excellency resumed home at an early hour (next morning) in his usual happy condition, on such occasions —and rather moro so. But the fatigues of the day were too much for him, when the relaxations of the night were superadded ; and the only thing to be regretted is, that in his zeal to do all that a Govornor could do to promote the cause of intemperance, he did not sufficiently stu dy his own constitution. Ho has been con fined to his. room over since, but I am hap py to inform you that he is getting better.— His friends will not forget the sacrifices he has made in the good cause. Huzza for the Governor and plenty of good liquor !! 1 suppose you hav'nt seen tho following toast said to have been drunk by the Gov ernor and the party near the close of the Exchange ceremonies, in the following ap propriate manner. The half pint glasses wore filled up to the brim with real "Mon ongshele—glass in the right hand, and left tiluflit) upon the point of the nose, the palm and fuvls knowingly extended : 13y Tile GOVERNOR. The Temperance Celebration—They could'ut come it ovor us, no how. Three cheers, and every tame a full bumper: Song—" We'll not go borne till morning," Z. Y. X. From tho York Republican The September Convention. The anti• Van Buren party throughout the state thoroughly impressed with the import ance of union, appear to be moving in al. most solid masses in the work of appointing delegates to the September Convention. The Beaver Argus, a discreet and judicious whig paper, which almost always gives good counsel, speaking of what has been done, says that our friends in that county "generally disapprove of the course of the ultra anti-masons and their ultra opponents, who managed and controlled the late anti masonic and whig conventions; and they look upon the proposed union Convention at Harrisburg as the only means of remedying past errors, and preventing further discord and disunion." This is plain language, but wo have no doubt that it expresses the sen timents of nine tenths of the anti-Van Bu ren voters of the state ; and Beaver county is able to back the whigs to the tune of 700 majority. The Fayette county Democrat says that our friends in that county would take no part in either of the late Harrisburg, or Chambersburg Conventions, as they dis approved of their proposed objects, but that they will be present by delegates in Septem ber. This feeling is almost universal, and meetings have already been called in many counties in accordance with it. In Adams county we notice such a call, and regret that the Adams Sentinel seems disposed to op pose the measure. We hope that prefer ence for a man will not lead the editor of that paper to oppose the union of the party. It is highly probable that if the real wishes of the party be responded to by the Sep. tember Convention, the unfortunate moas. ure of settling an electoral ticket will be reconsidered, the more especially as it has been so generally disapproved of, and then if the Chambersburg people yield a little too, the bond of union between the two sec. tions of the anti-Van. Buren party in the state will be rendered irrefragable, and they will be enabled to march on, gathering strength in every campaign, to ultimate and not remote triumph This appears to us to be the most propitious season that can occur for the bringing about of such a desirable event, and nothing but a little patriotic feel lug and mutual concession is required to I produce it. We hope that the Sentinel will be found co-operating in the good work. AN UNHAPPY WEDDING. The Crawfordsville (Ind.) Examiner, gives a singular account of the marriage of Joseph Bush to Jane Rush, of that vici• nity. They had been married about three weeks, and he attempted to choke her the first night—said that he had killed two wives previously, and one man for his mon. ey ; he took an axe into the room and swore that he would kill her before morn log. In order to prevent her escape, he lay in front of the door, fell asleep, when his wife took the axe, and in order to save her own life gave him a fatal blow. She gave herself up, was tried and discharged. A gentleman, en a rainy day mot a far mer who said--:-'Finnwaather, this, sir—i will make every thing spring out of th, earth ' 'Gad, 1 hope not,' said the gentle mum 'for 1 buried my wife yesterday.'

THOMPBOW, only eon of James A. Thompson, Esq., of this borough, being oil a visit to Pittsburg, went out on a pleasure excur sion, on the river, in a boat, and was drowned. The circumstances were these. Several young men had gone out for the purpose above stated, and while out dotermined to bathe in the river. rhey accordingly stripped off their clothe., and went into the water.

Wo have rarely soon, oven amongst tho most 'violent productions of partisan pens, a document co utterly void of every thing liko candor, truth and common decency, as the report of the Corn lnittee, appointed to examiee the Gettysburg Rail Road, made by Thomas B: Mcßiwa° to the House of Ropresontativee • on tho 1 Ith day of June last, To expose all the falsehoods of this report, would require ■ commentary on - almost every Sine ; wo shaft therefore content onrsolvo■ with noticing the most flagrant and material, there being enough, and more than enough of those, to occupy all the room we can afford to an expo sition of the forgerioe and faliehoode contained in the report of the drunken majority of the Com mittee. This report, tots out by stating, that the Get tysburg gall 116 ad owes commenced by haud and intrigue and will end In disgrace and loss to the Commonwealth. ° That this road, "was corn- --Inencal by fraud and intrigue," is one Of those etistgea,which grew out of the re;chartering of thesUitited Sidles Bank, by the Legislature. a tharga which was disproved, by a Committee of the Legislating°, of its next Session, composed of s majority of that party, which had in t h e first inetance, propagated the slander. This is a mere resuscitation of o stale chargo, long silica prov ed Mao and abandoned by the more 'accent por tion, of the self-ityled democratic party. The remaining pnrt of the charge.namely : that •pit will end in disgrace and loss to the Commonwealth," 11, crosses more truth ;—for it certainly is ..a dia graeo" tJ the Commonwealth, that it should vio-. '-"ME" • late its pledged faith, by abandoning this work, on the representation of n drunkard, actuated in his statements, in reference to it, by personal malice and private hatred. That the "ending" (the stopping) of this work, will bo "a loss" to the Commonwealth, we think is equally plain. Passing over several false assertions, in refer ence to the length, &c. of the said toad, when compared with the Lancaster and Harrisburg, the Cumberland Valley and Franklin Rail Roads, we atop to notice the statement of the Committee, respecting the prospective advantages of the Get tysburg Rail Road. The Committee say, that besides other disadvantages "the route of tho Gettysburg line is located for a conssderable dis tance over u mountainous, barren and almost un inhabited country, which offers neither now or prospectively, ran transportation from its products, either agricultural, mineral or manufacturing to sustain its ordinary repairs." Tho foregoing is en extract, verbatim, from the report of the Commit tee, end will servo as a specimen of the chasteness of loco foco style, as well as of the love of truth and spirit of candor, manifested by tho Commit too, in treating this subject. This statement of tho Committee, is predicated of the Road, from Gettysburg westward, to the contemplated place of junction with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. it is true, that some part of this road passes over a mountainous country, but it is neither "barren" nor "uninhabited," and if it were, wo presume that it would afford no substantial argu ment against the road, if it opens up, as in truth it dons--a way into a fertile and productive re gion. This objection has been urged against the road ; but it is weak as well as disingenuous. The main object of Improvements of this kind, is not to secure the transportation of such pro ducts, only, as are produced along the lino of the work. The design, is, to furnish a channel, through which tho surplus productions of one region, may be carried to another, in which they are necessary. The principal Improvement of the kind in the State, the Pennsylvania Canal, pas se. entirely across the several Ridges of the Alle gheny Mountains. Will the sapient Committee inform us, what "transportation from its products," in these mountains, it "offers, now or prospective ly," to justify its constructiop 1 Yet the distanes it passes over "a mountainous, barren and almost uninhabited country," is eight times greater than the distance which the Gettysburg Bail Road pas ses over • similar country. But whoever thought of this objection against tho Pennsylvania Canal 1 It was left for McElwee and his gin-bibbing com patriots to discover that such a reason might be urged against that valuable Improvement. In our estimation, it is a great thing, that the ob stacles presented by "barren mountains," may be surmounted by modern Improvements. When their barrancas can be changed into fertility and made to yield products for transportion, on tho roads and Canals, which human ingenuity and labor have constructed over them, we may rejoice in a still greater advancement in the pro gress of Improvement. The Committee can con ceive of no benefits that would result from opening up en easy' and cheap communication between a region which stands in need of the surplus com modities which another produces ; in their estima tion, at least according to their argument, there is no other use in a work of this kind than the picking up of the product', "along its route." Sapient and for seeing statesmen ! The Committee, next go on to etato, that "a proper idea of the travel upon . this lino muy be inferred from the fact, that a tri-weekly two horse stage Coach which is but poorly sustained, ac cummodates the public travel from Hagerstown through Gettysburg to York, and is very fre quently without a passenger." Wo believe, that with good intentions; the Committee would have been very, liable to err in their conclusions from sheer stupidity ! But when to their stupidity, is added the premeditated malice and hostility which they entertained ugainet the road; and when both these consider ations aro reinforced by the fact that a majority of them were drunk, during the entire investiga tion of the matters connected with the road and the road itself, it will not bo a matter of any sur prise that the inferences and conclusions drawn by the Committee, should be at once, disinge nu rus, unjust and absurd That the small amount of travel, on the road between Hagerstown and Gettysburg, forms a criterion by which the business to be done on the rail road, may bo estimated, is perfectly ridiculous. It is the badness of the road, from Hagerstown to Gettysburg which is tho reason that there is SO little travelling done upon it—because there aro an excellent road and greater traveling facili ties from Hagerstown, in the direction of Frede rick and Baltimore to Philadelphia, than by the way of Gettysburg ; although the distance to Philadelphia, by the way of Frederick end Balti more is so much greater. But lot the Gettysburg Rail Road be completed and the mercantile tra veler will seek upon It the nearest and best road to Philadelphia, and leave in our own great com mercial Emporium the money, a portion of which at least, he now leaves in Baltimore. We shall now pass Over other falsehood, end absurdities is the report, and come to that part, in which the Committee charge the Agents of the State, employed upon the Gettysbarg Rail Road With irregularities end fraud. They say that “the Committee are of opinion, that gross irregularities, if not open frauds have been prac tised by the agents of the State in the manage ment of the work" After the spirit which the Committee have manifested; in relation to this work. and the spe cimen vvhich we have already exhibited of the candor and fairneis of their statements, the people will not be disposed to take much on trust at their hands; and they will require something more than the oopinibn," of the Committee, be fore they will that then, against whom no dishonest practicoi Caere weer alledged, in the course of their lives, haie bean guilty of .4fraud." Such a charge, to induae billet in the minds of heb'est men, must be sidisiantiated by something mac than the mere nopinion" of Thomas B. M': Eldree, Thomas J. Hester' and Win. Field. Let the proof be furnished, that justifies ihe imputation of fraud. "Wo Want the facts, not the preconceived "opinion" of men, who (hiring the whole time spent in the investigation, woro it such a condition, as to.be able' to form no rational "opinioii" upon any subject, except perhape the . flavour of gin. The foregoing ilium° of fraud was in reference to the rolettiug of some of the contracts, • The Committee then proceed to adduce what they call "documentary testimony" to show the existence of fraud in the estimates, made by the Engineers, of the work done. They are however careful not to give us copies of the 4•documents," which they alledge show the, existence of baud, but only the ""conclusions,' drawn from the docu ments by the Committee. It might have war. red to so learned a committee, that a witness is not permitted to state, the "conclusion:" to which he has arrived, but the facts. Let us hive the "documents' 7 end wo will judge for ourselves, whether there has been fraud or not. We do not choose to rely upon the "conclusions," which the Committee have volunteered. We doubt their impartiallity, these same men having voted before their appointment, that the Road ought be aban doned. It is possible, though they wore even honest—which would be bard to presuine—thitt they might draw such "conclusions" as would justify their vote. We repeat then, lot us have the - Documents, not only the Documents hut the Testimony of the Engineers which explained the Documents. Do not attempt to deceive tho com munity by your "conclusions," nor with forgeries, purporting to be evidence, taken during . the in. vestigation. We know there arc such ; we know the members of the Committee caused to ho put down as evidence that which never was 'Worn. This we can prove. We shall pursue this sub ject next week. Presidential Dignity. It cannot be otherwise than mortifying to the feelings of every American citizen to tvhatover name or party ho may adhere, to dbserve tho policy pursued by Mr. Van Buren "oh his pretended visit to hie native State. For it is obvious to all that tho whole origin of the prosidenta tour through the country is for tho purposo of ad vancing his own political interest and soliciting aid from the faithful! in support of his infamous Subtreasury scheme. Now wo have no objection to Mr. Van Buren, as a political partisan, meeting to harranguo his Loco Foco followers at Tammany hall, castle Garden or elsewhere, but when ho, who oceLpies the seat once filled by the immortal Washington, Jefferson and Monroe, so far forgets that ho is t he executive of a Republican people ; as to by aside the robes of official dignity and condescond o address a clan of brawling poliiicians, whose t only rnerrit is there possession of those peculiar dogmas in unison with his own, we say it is high time that on intelligent people should wrest from such a president that exalted station ho has so sig nally disgraced. It will be perceived by the °emit revolution, that the freemen of the City of Hudson, N. York have promptly rebuked the conduct of the President—and in the proper spirit, Hudson is Mr. Van Boren's adopted home whcro they "know him." Resolved, By the Mayor and Common- ality of the city of Hudson, in Common Council assembled, that we do not feel bound by any considorations a justice pru dence or hospitality, to expend the peoples money, or descend from the dignity of our official stations, for the purpose of aiding political partisans in their endeavors to carry out their favorite schemes.

Now as this gentleman has set himself up as n Censor over the Whig party, it may not be amiss to enquire into his political character, and see whether his steady devotion to Whig ' principles entitle him to the confitience of the Whig party and the high prerogative which ho assumed.—From the fall of 1832 (at which time Mr. H. renounced masonry, and declared that "a careful examination of the proceedings in New York has compel. led us to believe that a human being was' sacrificed and his life's blood was on the hands of Masons. A murder was commit ted net merely by men belonging to the ma sonic fraternity, but by masons, acting ab ma ens, governed by what they pretend to believe masonic justice, and in furtherance of the cause of masonry.—We are further mere compelled to believe, that many of the lodges in that State aided and assisted the conspirators, after they knew, or had reason to fear that a murder had been com mitted,") up to the fall of 1836, Mr. H. was an anti-mason ; for it would ho insulting to his sense of moral duty to suppose, that en tertaining the foregoing opinions of the in stitution of masonry, he could view it with other than the most repugnant feelings, and bitter hostility. Up to the fall of 1836, and until the daft on which the Whig and anti-masonic ticket was formed, and upon which his anti-masonic brethern did not choose to plane him as a candidate for the reform convention, Mr. H was an anti ma son—an evening or two after we found him in a loco foco meeting an acting member, and subsequently a delegate in a loco foco convention to form ther ticket, upon which he was placed a candidate for the conven tion to amend the constitution of the State ; a candidate of the pally avowing and sup porting the monstrous doctrines of Dallas and Ingersoll ; doctrines which he ofcourse would have felt bound to support had he succeeded in obtaining a seat in that body, end to which he did give the weight and sanction of his character by becoming the candidate of the party avowing thorn.— From this time Mr. H. has been a loco rem and we have no evidence that ho has since changed his views, but seine that he has not, unless it be very recently. It is 1 believe admitted by Mr. H., that at the last election ho voted for Mr Bell, for the Sell ' ate, when his election might have decided the party character of that body and given to the loco locos the only remaining branch or the government where Wbig principles prevail. Bet this was not enough fir this boi dm:ill:it Whig ; in December, when the eg,iblature of the State, was in the bands f au unprinpled mob, when the Whig -1-tubers were driven with violence from the legislative halls, end some of them threatened with assassination, and when all the energy, firmness and patriotism of the party wore barely sufficient to preserve oven a show of government, in a letter to Judge Myers, a loco Coco member front Delaware, ho took occasion to congratulate that gentleman on the stand ho and his par ty had taken, and condemning in the most decided terms the course pursued by the Whigs ; a course approved by every Whig member of the legislature, and the only one sanctioned and supported by precedent and law. Such is Townsend Ilainos,this touch-stone of purity ; and this is the man who has the modest presumption to dictate to the Whig party the things which they may do, and the things which they may not do; to elbow from the ranks men whose steady support of Whig principles and men, entitle them to the confidence and esteem of every true Whig of the union ; and to declare none orthodox who do not attend his meet ings and do his bidding. Can any candid observer fail to discover this object ? Can they not see the workings of disappointed ambition ?
