GOV. PORTER AND THE STATE DEBT-•LOCOFOCO E CON MOM Y- OR, PRACTICE VS. PROFESSION; When Gov. Wets came int ) power, our permanent debt of the State was, 817,175,- 1381 88. When Gov. RITIVER came into power the permanent debt of the state was *24,329,003 23. So that the State debt was increased under Gov. WOLF, 86,163,- .341 35. When Gov. RrrNart went out of power and Gov. PORTER came in, the State debt was 824,224,003 23:—Showing that instead of increasing, the public debt had decreased under the Wise and economical administration of Joseph Ritner, to the a mount of ONE HUNDRED TIIOUSA ND DOL LA RS. Gov. Porter's party cried out ag, , a mat Jo seph Ritner, falsely asserting that he had increased the State debt, and the people were told to elect Porter i& he would check the increase. How have the promities been Atept? The administration of Mr. Porter has al ready increased the permanent Siete debt as follows: Loan por act of 26th January 1839, "an act authorizing a loan," Loan por act of 9th February "an act making appropria• tions," &c. Loan per act "authorizing the Governor to subscribe to the stock of 'the Franklin Rail- road company," passed 16th March 1839, and a "regain- lion authorizing a loan," pos ited 27th March 1839, Making in all, Out of this sum an instalment was paid on the State debt, .amountingio Leaving a POSITIVE IN— CREASE OF THE STATE DEBT, of $2,A30,000 The, foregoing TWO MILLIONSEIGHT HUNDRED & THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS have been actually loaned up to this date. To-day closes the time-for receiving proposals for the loan of ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND FIF TY THOUSAND DOLLARS, under the act ot June 27th 1830, "an act authorizing .a permanent loan," &o. If the loan be ta ken it will swell the amount to $3,980,0.00. To which we may add the permanent loan of $2,054,000 authorized in the improvement bill, (bids for which are to be received un til the 24th inst.,) and the amount will be swelled to $6,034,000. To this sum of $6,034,000, it will belair to add a temporary loan of $650,000, cow •tracted during last winter, as a permanent loan to , that amount will be necessary to re• pay it. We cannot add the Gettysburg 'railroad loan of $150,000, as no Inds had been received for it up to the 18th of July, the time fixed for opening the same. With. -out it, however, the PERMANENT IN— 'CREASE of the State debt, since Govern .cir Porter came into power, amounts to SIX MILLIONS, SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY.F()UR' THOUSAND • DOL— LARS!!! Is it not time for the TAX-PAYERS to begin to feel in their pockets? And let 4hent remember, too, that the State debt . -was decreased under Joseph Ritner.— it was formerly Ritnor and economy—tit is VOW Porter and extravagance. Nor should it be forgotten that six mil. Eons of the above sum are borrowed at one per cent. interest more than need have been paid—which piece of prejudice and extray. agance will cost the State SIXTY THOU— SAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. These are facts which challenge contra diction. Let them be remembered at the follal—Telegraph letelligen.cer. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. That the friends of Gen. Harrison, (we mean by this expression those individuals mho think Gen. Harrison the most likely to concentrate the opposition,) are not up to political marcuver, begins to appear pret• ty evident. Whilst public sentiment is be ing manufactured in the city of New York —whilst letter writers in that famous city are proclaiming to other states that another individual is certain of the support in con vention, not only of New York, but of all New England, the aitvocates for the nomi nation of Gen. Harrison—honest people —are resting upon their oars, totally uncon acious how much can be effected by politi cal address. We intimated a few days since, that the political correspondence between the city of New york and certain states, (having for its object the advancement ofMr. Clay's prospects,) might be from the same writer. Since then circumstances render it cer tain, that at least the New York correspon dent of Nashville Banner, and New Or jeans Bee, are one and the same individual. In the late letters of 'examiner,' for the Bee, and Reporter' for the Banner, whole sentences occur in which the language is wad for word the same. Of this, however there can be no complaint, as it is all per fectly fair. But in the merntime, should not the friends of Gen. ' Harrison bestir themselves ? Cannot the Philadelphia Evening Star procure some intel:igeot, cute writer, in that city, friendly to the General, to write lettere to all the different states, giv ing glowing descriptions of his political prospects? These letters produce their: cif ect I Our Harrison friends must look around them! All, however, for the cause! For it in the cause for which we profess to do bat tle.—Cincinnati Whig ocr We must decline the proposition of our friend the W big: not on the score of capacity, but principle We have abundant fancy but more conscience. We 'hate al lurements of spurious correspondence, on tho ground that honesty is the best policy. Dealers in counterfeit notes, and letters, will meet with detection: and canot escape ob. liquy injury. Let the galled jades wince. A Tennessee paper tells of a fellow in Kentucky who is so ugly, that the folks wont kit him go to Camp Meeting, for fear of Wookiug it up. The Norfolk Herald, of some days since, presents its readers with a remark of the "honorable" Jesse Bynutn. whose course in the House of Representatives of the U. S. has been of that bnllying character which marks the wide difference between the blus tering member and the dignified legislator. Bynum, to convince the Administration that his political zeal and man-worship were not to be questioned, said, in a mixed company, that Gen. Jackson was the greatest wan that ever lived, except Jesus Christ. While the rudeness and vulgarity °ranch expressions are revolting to n well balanced and sensat Iva mind, the shamefull irrev'erenee of contrast ing the Redeemer of Mankind with a mili tary •chiefigin, whose actions were by no means proverbial for peace and good will to wards his fellow-creatures.; makes the very blood run cold. If this had been the re mark of only an insignificant and hu.nbled like Bynum, wo should not have noticed it; but it is part and parcel of the disorganizing spirit which pervade "the party." In eve ry portion of the country where Loco loco. ism is strong, we see that heideous monster infidelity rearing his head, and seeking to overthrow all the long cherished institutions by which society has been upliel f. Theen cred obligation of marrage has been reviled by the Wright? and the Owens,' the form eritsf whom dishonored her sex by mixing with brawling disorganizers, and lecturing in favour of Van Buren and his policy, while the latter is the cherished candidate of the Globe for election to the United, States Congress. We know not kow far the unbridled licence of this party reckless ness may lead if not checked by wholesome restraint. We will venture the prophecy, however, that sinless entirely put down• by ousting the party now sn power, that infidel ity, agrarianism, and their attendant evils will triumph over religion and good order, and make the country a perfect Pundemo• ium, instead of leaving it the abode of the peaceful and happy as it was wont to be.

VAN BUREN was guilty of very disengeni. ous and harsh treatment towards DE WITT CLINTON derives great strength from the subjoined anecdote which we find in a letter from the Saratoga correspopdent ofihe New York Times. After narrating the particu• lars of Mr. VAN BUREN'S reception, it pro. ceeds. The President having been fully install. ed, he began:to play the courtier. After giv. mg audience to some expectants, he saw at .a short distance in the large public saloon -the widow ofthe late Gov. Clinton. In stantly leaving his company he rushed through the crowd with impressment to offer his hand. The lady drew herself up to one of her firmest and loftiest attitudes and bent upon him a countenance of disdain and contempt, rejected the proffered hand and turned with indignation, as if from pol lution itself, tram the man who had .reviled and persecuted her husband during his life —This indignant rebuke "and cut direct" did not change the smile on his impurtura ble cciuntenanca.

The murderer and his victim both resided in this neighbor hood, which is called Slab Bridge. The -witness represent that there is scarcely a decent person living in the -place; but that almost the whole population is composed of bad men & worse women--ignorant drunk en, lewd, and vicious—entirely without the xestraints of religion, mortality, or common decency. One of the witnesses described it as "a God fasakenspot."—.Boston paper. lithe facts set tortilla the Red River pa pers in relation to the murder of Mr. Moore, be true, the heaviest penalty of the law should fall upon the assassin. What must be the state of society where men could coldly look on and see a murderer deliber ately effect his hellish purpose, without any effort on their part to prevent it save by in tercession? Murder of Moore.—We have before us the Red River Whig, detailing the circum stances attending this most atrocious mur• der. It appears that Moore never refused to fight Holstein. Seventeen days after Moore had refused to fight him, and offered to meet his second, Holstein, the murder took place. It is stated in the Whig that Holstein was urged to execute the bloody deed by persons high in authority and so ciety. If so, there can be no measure of punishment too great for such men. But to the death of poor Moore. On the morning of the 2d of July, Moore was returning from the country to town as was his custom, when he stopped in front of the ferry house on the river bank, opposite' Alexandria. While there, Holstein, who had been concealed in the house since ear; ly in the morning, rushed out and called up on Moore to beg for his life or he would kill him. Moore drew himself up at full length, folded his arms across his breast, anOold Holstein that he would not beg for his life, but that Holstein might shoot him, as he had him (Moore) in his power. Thereup- on he snapped the doubled barrelled gun at Moore. Some one interceding, Holstein threw down the gun and drew a duelling pistol that had been loaned him for the oc• easier', and again bade Moore beg for his life. Mr. Moore, maintaining his position, said, will not beg for my life. I have never refused to give you the satisfaction that honor requires; but I am in your pow er—stwot I" The murderer shot, and Moore fell; the ball piercing the abdomen, &ascending the spine. Holstein forthwith fled. Moore died the same evening in the most excruci iting Pain, but having his sen ses to the last. When told that he could not live, he said, "l do not fear death, boys; I have lived a whig, and the a whig!" At the head of his journal stood the epigraph —"Liberty of the press is the air we breathe, —without it we die." Could poor Moore have chosen a motto that had better prefig ured his own fate? The parish of Rapides is in a great state of excitement at this out• regeous act. No man's life will be safe an• less the 'murderer be arrested. Interesting Extract. “And this is the Dead Sea, and below these dark waters are tha sites perhaps the ruins of Sodom and Gomorroh, such as when the smoke of the country went up, as the moke of a furnace. There is a tale that nothing living, not even a bird can over cross the sea. But there is no need of im• rginary stories, to heighten the desolation of the scene, and we, as well as other trav ellers can testify to its own accuracy, by our own observations. We believe that its waters are unfavorable to animal life; though a shall or two may be picked up occasionally 'von the shore, yet these have been probaly brought down by the Jordon. The water is excessively bitter and nauso• ous; and if additional evidence were want ing, we also could testify to its great gray ity, it adds to buoyancy of the human body, when immersed in it. It is only by much exertion; and for a very short time, that any one can get and remain below the sur face. We went from hero to the Jordon, and and struck the river, whore tradition says the children of Israel passed over, when they first entered the Land of premise.— On the west side is a low bottom, and on the east a high sandy bluff, and the shores of the river are covered with aquatic bushes— The water was thick and turbid, and rapid and too deop to be sounded for Jordon over flows all his banks aft• the time of harvest. And hero did cross the Jewish nation over this turbulent stream, 'on dry ground, untill all the people were passed clean over Jordan.' And we followed their rout to Jericho, the frontier city of the Cannanites 'where the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so Thai the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and thoytook the city.' There is no city now to take, nor are there any walls now to fall—there are a few mis erable hovels, made of rude stones and mud and ruined walls of a building of the middle• ages, where the wretched Atabs burrow, rather than live. Jerico has disappeared as completely as her rival cities, which shrunk beneath the wrath of the Almighty. And it requires an effort to be satisfied that here the great miracle, which opened the entrance of the Jews into Canaan, was performed though the truth of !he den , inrintion is before eyes ()kite traveller; '('urt.t In Ihe Ii ! ; , ; , defore the Lord, that that raiseth ,up and buildeth this city Jerico.'

Mmtnitot.- I .4arriage is ton woman at wince the happiest and saddest event of her life ; it is the promise of future bliss raised on the death of all present enjoyment. She quits her home her parents, her companions her occupations, her amusements, every thtng on which she has hitherto depended for .comfort, for affection, for kindness for pleasure. The parents by whose advice .sho has been guided, the sister to whom -she has dared to impart every embryo thought and feeling, the brother who hai played with her, by turns the counsellor and the counselled ; and the younger chit. dren, to whom she has hitherto been the mother and the playmate, all are to be for silken at one lull stroke ; every former tie . is loosened, the spring of every hope and action is to be changed ; and yet tile flies with joy into the untrodden path before her. Buoyed up by the confidence of requited love she bidb a fond and grateful adieu to , - the life that is pet, and turns with excited hopes and joyous anticipations of the hap piness to come. Then woo to the man who can blight such fair hopes—who can treacherously lure such a heart from its peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful pro tection at home—who can, coward like, break the illusions that have won her, and destroy the confidence which love had in. spired. „ IS HE RICH?” Many a sigh ►s heaved,—many a heart is broken, many a life is rendered misera ble by the terrible infatuation which parents often evince in choosing a life companion for their daughters.

IMPORTANT FROM .THE INDIAN COUNTRY -The St. Louis Republican published en extract of a letter received in that city,from a gentleman residing at Fort Snelling,dated July 10, by which we learn that a most un• happy state of aflitirs is now existing be tween the Sioux and Chippoway tribes of Indians, and great slaughter has been made of the latter. Mercy seems to have formed no part of the savage character. One indis criminate massacre of men, women and children appears to be the rule of warfare. It may elucidate the extract to state that a large number of the Chippeway tribe hat assembled at Fort Snelling to receive their annuities, and the events which followed —related below, occurred a few days prior to the date of the letter. The extract says: "The Sioux rind Chippeways have had ;. brush at two different points on the St Croix, and again about thirty miles above the falls of St. Anthony. The Chippeways, just before leaving the Pillagers 1 believe, had killed, at Lake Calhoutim Sioux Brave, one much liked, and esteemed by his tribe. and took his scalp; an hour or two after sun rise, the news having spread like wild fire, the Sioux, about two hundred stron.r. left the Falls (St. Anthony.) Hale-in-Me day, a Chippeway Chief, had pushed on with his party and was not overtaken. The Sioux who left the Falls came across a par ty of the Rum River Band, attacked them about sun rise the next morning, and killed one hundred and thirty-three men, women -Ind children. This was above the Falls.— Big Thunder, a Sioux Chief, crossed the country in pursuit of the Strong Ground Banat of Chippeways, and overtook and rought them at St. Croix. Big Thunder told the Sioux not to fire where the whites were, (Messrs. Atkins and McLoud's par ty) and as the Chippewnys huddled round the whiles many of them thus escaped.— Notwithstanding the Sioux killed thirty-six men of the Chiopeway party, and some wo men and children. "The country is in groat excitemeirt,and will continue so for some time. There will., no doubt, be a general engagement between the Sioux and Chippeways beinre many months more.

The worms which produced these cocoons were fed under very disadvantageous cir cultist:llMM Under the superintendance of the a hove named gentleman and his brother L.

Never was there a time thou the best interests of the country more imperi ously demanded union and concert of ac tion among her friends; and we hope such a course will be pursued as will attain a re sult so desirable and important. The pro ject of the proposed State Convention to be held on the 4th of September, for the pur pose of uniting ALL the opponents of mis rule and plundet, we most heartily approve, as being the only mode of harmonizing con flicting personal prefbrences; and in order that the will of the people may be fully and fairly expressed, we hope the Convention will bo fully attended. The otiarrisburg Chronicle" in speaking of the lownees of the credit of tho state in regard to the Loan, for which not one solitary bid was made— No other proof need be cited to substan• ate this than the fact that during the admin istration of Joseph Rimer, the State could get on loans just as much money as she wanted ; and that too at one per cent less interest thqn is offered by the present ad. ministration. Every candid man admits that the credit of the State never was in a worse condition than when Joseph Ritner went into office. It was then as it is now, the State could not borrow on any reasonable condi tions; but as soon as Mr. Ritner took hold of the helm of the State, a change took place in the credit and general financial con dition of the State. So great was this change that before, money could not be got for sex per cent while shortly after he came into office, it could be had and was obtained in abundance at four per cent. And it is equally well known and admitted by the impartial of all parties that the finan. cial reputation of the State, was never in higher or better standing than shortly pre vious to the fraudulent election ofthe p •esent incumbent of the executive office of this State. Now we ask what other conclusion can be drawn from these facts other than that the present disgraceful bankruptcy of this State is owing to the hands in which it at present is placed. We can conceive no other, The arguments that the scarcity of mo ney,and the consequent pressure in the large and Atlantic cities , in this country, as well as in Europe from which moneys for State purposes are all obtained, does not meet the .point. For all who recullect the reign of Shin-plasters, will bear in mind, that at that tiine, money _was infinitely more scarce in these sources, than at present, - and they will also remember, that even then our State authorities, headed by Joseph Ritner never experienced any difficulty in obtaining all the money which was needod for State purposes. The conclusion is therefore ir resistible that it is because D. It. Porter, is at present acting as Governor of this State that the Commonwealth is as bankrupt in credit as she 19 in character ; and so it will remain 'until more worthy and respectable rulers are chosen.

This is to Certify that I was afflicted with great difficulty of breathing, pain in the breast, Cough, hoarseness, and considerable swelling in the abdomen, for which I applied to Ds.
