EXTRAORDINARY NEGOTIATION.
TOE STATE LOAN TAX EN.—The State
loan of two millions and some hundreds of
thousands ofdollars—we can't tell the pre
cise sum, innsmnch as we have not as yet
received the Stale laws—has at length been
taken by the United States Bank, at five per
cer.t. and, if we are correctly informed, at
par.
Yes, render, this loan, so much desired
by David It. Porter and his sycophantic
canirers, (who are constantly talking about
h is a d m i n i s tration being anti-bank and aryl
credit,) has at List heen effected by them
with the "monster," the "real ginnowine
monster," which has for years been the
prolific theme of - many hitter denunciations
from the lips of patriotic orators, and the
sehjact of many rounded paragraphs in loco
f ico sheets, squeezed out at infinite labor
from the muddled pato of many a self-con
ceited partisan editor, whose profound ig
norance of the principles of political econo
my is only equalled by his total destitution
of principle and the exalted opinion of his
own intelbct.
But we think •we hear some ono asking
the question: How was this negociauon
eilecteo, and through whose instrumentality
was it perfected! Was it the voluntary act
attic hank! Did she step forth unsolicited,
and, at a time when her funds might have
been more profitably invested, moved only
by compassion for a suffering common
wealth, and bid for, or rather thko the loan?
Patience, good reader, we shall answer you
in good time, and as we thiok, satisfactorily.
After days, weeks, and months were spent
its %Ain endeavors to etPct the loan with
some other institution and difihrent monied
individuals, a committee of the Governor's
Cabinet offioers, consisting of Mr. Secreta
ry Shuolt and Daniel Surgeon, the State
Treasurer, supported by a letter from Al r.
Attorney General Ovid F. Johnson, repair
ed to the city of Philpdelphia, and entering
the unhallowed abode of ' THE MONSTER, "
absolutely begged for the money al five per
cent! At the same time that this scene
was enacting, there, was and contained
in the iihnrter of the same institution, a pro.
vision requiring her to loan to the common
wealth, permanently, any sum of money not
exceeding six millions of dollars at the rate
of four _per cent. per annum
We have thus exhibited to our view, in
some small degree, and in a tangible shape,
the able statesmanhip of D. R. Porter and
his keepers I If this is the way in wnich
the Loco Foco authorities of the state ex
hibit their abhorrence of "the monster," by
paying to her fire per cent., when a simple
resolution of the legislature would have pi o
cured it fur the use of the commonwealth at
four, why all that we have to remark is,
that the tax payers will not long tolerate
such profligate management as this.
• But "tell it not in Gath, publish it not in
the streets of Askelon," that David R. Por
ter, the Loco-Foco anti-bank Governor of
Pennsylvania, has at last taken the United
States Bank into his keeping! Nay—even
the Grand Priest of ultra anti mons
terism; James Buchanan himself, has also
laid down his arms of offence, and coming
down from his "high position," has, in obe.
dience to the fiat of David, become the ad
vocate of the measure—whilst, to preserve
the character of the leaders of the party for
consistency, he urges the necessity of the
ease, as an excuse for the inconsistency
which they have thus exhibited to the
world!—Examiner 4 Herald.
AisIGTHER OF WASHINGTON ' S LIFE GUARD
GONE l- - Captain JOHN IGNATIUS EFFINGER,
a veteran of the Revolution, notices in the
Globe a few days ago, is, one of the few
survivors of the distinguished corps of dra
goons immediately about the poison of the
illustrious WASHINGTON, is no more ! He
expired at his residence in Woodstock, Vir
ginia, on the Nth inst. at the advanced age
of eighty three, "full of years and full o
honor."
Capt. ErFusoun was a native of Ger
many, and crossed the Atlantic in the corps
of Hesse Cassel. He has often assured the
writer of this tribute to his memory, tl,at
nothing delighted him so much as being
drafted to perform duties revolting to his
disposition. He had heard of the fur away
land of America, struggling for free torn,
and willingly became a serf for the moment,
to earn the inestimable title of an American
citizen. He always declared that he never
owed fealty to the tyrant of which he was
the vassal; and he had scarcely landed upon
our shores before he found his way, with
horse, saddle, bridle, and accoutrements, to
the American camp, and before the tent of
Washington. He told his tale, and was di
rectly enrolled in that choice corps imme
diately about the person of the immortal
chief. He followed him bravely in all his
battles, faithfully in all his reconnoiterings,
received an honorable discharge and a pair
of pistols from his beloved commander,
which for the last half century have been
impended over his bed. and which he pri
zed more than a monarch would a diadem—
a glorious heir loom to a numerous poste' ity.
Copt. Effinger was an active and enter
prising citizen, filled many (Aces to the
eatisfactien of his fellow-citizens, and was a
sterling, consistent and undeviating Repub
lican. Aninvg his peculiarities was a pen.
chant for a file of newspapers printed during
the Revolution. They were his delight in
the by.gone times of the tented field, and
they were the constant contemplation of his
latter days. Nevertheless, he would rend
the papers of the present times as regularly
as an editor, but invariably would recur to
his old continental sheets as n desert from
the politics growing out of the American
I:twain! ion.

"Hush my dear lie still and slumber," as
David R. mini to his old deht,when he plead
the "statute of repose."
"Look out for Indians," as G. W. Brrton
when he came here to plaster up Pot..
W I S 043.ractur.-11untinsdon Journal.
The "opening" of the portion of this road,
just completed between this place and Green
Castle, took place on Tuesday last, accord.
ing to arrangement. Although the weath•
er for several days had, up to Monday after
noon, been rainy and uncomfortably warm,
a more balmy, exhileratmg air and bright
and glorious sun never ushered in a Septem
ber morning than that whicn gladdened the
hearts of all on Tuesday—to use the em
phatic language of a friend, it was "a heav
enly day," and its influence was manifested
upon the countenances of all.
We cannot midertake to particularize the
numerous military companies that were pre
sent, adding greatly to the animation and
interest of the scene.—There were, we be
lieve, twenty companies, numbering in all
between 7 and 8 hundred men, whose fine
military anpearance, good discipline and
generally correct depot tment or we except
a little perhaps excusable eflervesence of
feeling manifested by some at night) distin
guish them as citizen soldiers, equally rea
dy to join in giving eclat to an event highly
indicative efa state of pence and prosperity,
or to defend their country against threaten•
ed danger from any quarter.
At the time appointed in the morning n
magnificent train,capable of conveying near
a thousand passengers, moved ofl in line
style, passing to and from Green Castle sev
eral times during the day, gratifying some
thousands with a "ride" and exciting the
liveliest interest nt every point by the nov.
elty and grandeur of the spectacle. Noth
ing could well exceed the beauty and splen
dor of the last return in the evening. The
sun, as though wearied of a day's continued
smiling upon happy thousands, withdrew
amidst a golden haluoicd twilight, the avant
cue-ier of the slurs, begun to envelop in her
misty Iblds the expectant groups that throng•
ed the pathway of the fire-king. There was
delay in its arrival, and the anxioas specta
tors began to experience the effects of "hope
deferred,"—but at length the solemn shade
Mat enveloped the green woods in the dis.
tance began to relieve the suspense by ex
hibiting a mellow glow—then distinct sparks,
quickly followed by a broad glare, and the
now distinct breathing:s of the ''thing of
life" which forms such a wonderful sample
of the creative power of man. This train
brought back the military, whose exclusive
possession of the cars added no little to the ef . -
feet oft he scene.
On Wednesday the services of the cars
were devot•ld to the Lathes, and the weath
er continuing very fine, they doubtless had
"a very pleasant time of it." May they all
hereafter have reason to remember the oc•
casion with pleasure, and many of them re
fer to it as tne date of their mil upon that
other rail road whose "opening . ' is succeed
cds a "honey moon," then ago ahead up
on a long journey with baggage of "better
or worse," carefully guarding against run
ning off the track, and always aiming to
ach the final depot, by the steady draught
of the locomotive LOVE.
But we must not forget the road.—lt
as well as we can judge, a perfect sample of
the best that can be made of the flat rail,and
reflects great credit upon the skill and at
tention dale engineer, Maj. WArrs.
The shortest period in which any of the
trips was accomplished, we believe was 25
minutes, being at the rate of upwards of 21)
miles an hour—a speed quite as great as a
due regard to safety will justify. We re
gret to add that two accidents occurred,tho'
in no way chargeable to the road or man
agement of the operations upon it. A boy
had has legs broken by foolishly jumping
from a car, and a little negro was killed in
some way not known, except that it was
done by a loose car which a number of boys
had put in motion.— Chasubersburg Whig.

The candidates for the various offices, it is ex
pected will attend there meetings. It is right that
- the people should sce face to face, and converse
with those who are candidates for their support.
It is the true repnblican system, and we hope be
-fore long to see it unicersolly adopted throughout
the State. It is decried and a'used by those whs
are afrsid to discuss their principles before the
people; but ti.c people have a right to know the
sentiments of the candidates whom they are called
upon to vote for; & none but aristocrats will,deny
their right to be made acquainted with the senti
ments and principles of those who are candidates
for their suffrages, and who are to become the
r•presentativcs of their interests. The Loco Fo
cos of this County are opposed to this System,
because their principles wilt not bear investigation.
,They are, however, incited to attend the -lib ove
meetings, where they will be respgctftAlf heard
io defence of the doctrines of ticir party. Every
atisenpf evety party,Tis respectfully invited to at
tend these meetings.

COUNTY COMMITTEE
2E:O
The Election•
The election is near at hand, and It behooves
our friends to begin to prepare for the rotitest in
good earnest. rho enemy is in Co field', and is
exceedingly active; but we think that the ticket
presented to the freemen of Adams 'county by I
the loco feces is not such a ono as will meet their
approbation or receive their support.
Tho people of Adams county, although as dia.
interested as any people in the world, still have
some regard for their own pecuniary interests,
and regarding them, can never consent to cast
their votes fur the loco foCo candidates for Assem.
bly. These men, in private life, are well enough,
though hardly fit for legislators in an enlightened
commonwealth, even if there were no objections 1
to their views of policy and the course they have
hitherto pursued.
It is known to the people of this county that
the State is burdened with an enormous debt,
amounting, at the commencement of the admin.
istration2o)avid R. Porter, to the sum of
so,9oo;o . oAnd which has been increased by
bins, in 'fiiiii. itinte;e of less than eight months,
to upwards tif4 1 30,000,000. The loco loco can
didates [or thoAegislattt:o aro the warm and
ardent supporters of David R. Porter and the
destructiya'and prodigal measures of his admin
isriatioa; besides, they are tho same men who,
during the session of the Legislature of 1836-7,
Vsded for the -slobrated mammoth improvement
bill, which was vetoed by Gov. !tither. This bill,
it will be recollected, appropriated money to va
rious works not yet commenced, many of which
would never have yielded a cent of profit to the
State, amounting to the enormous sum of nearly
$4,000,000 for a single year!! The year follow_
ink their own party threw them off the ticket,
Waal ig that while their extravagant legislation
was fresh in the minds of the people, they would
receive out a slim support; but they have now
been taken up again, otter having laid by two
years, the party believing that their extravagant
and wasteful course has, been forgotten by the
people. This they will find ie not the case.
Nor will the people regard the promises made by
the loco fucos that their candidates will be econo.
!Meal this year; they said so before, but still they
supported the odious extravagance of the never
to-be-forgotten prodigals who composed the Leg
islature during the session - of 1836-7. The
people know tho sentiments of Messrs. Smyser
and Albright on these questions. They have not
been assumed since they become candidates, to
win popularity; they are such as they have ever
hold and ever advocated, before they thought of
being candidates. These gentlemen king op
posed to the ruinous extravagance of the present
administration, will receive the support of all the
friends of economy—and we have no doubt that
many honest Van Buren men will prefer voting
for them to Messrs. McCurdy and Picking, who
are known to be extravagant .14...10t0rs and
sup
porters of the present prodigal waste of the public
money by the present administration.
We repeat that it is time that our friends
should buckle on their armor, talk to their neigh.
,Lars, and arouse them for the contest. Thou is
much, very ninth al stake.
41 Word to ellitti-arasons.
It is hardly necessary to admonish the Anti-
Masons of Adams•coutity to stand fast by those
principles which called upon them at first to de
clare war against thelJodge. The wickedness of
theldsionia institution, arid its power to do mis
chief;
.Were nevor before -so fully illustrated as
they have been within the list year. The com
binations 'Which were formed fur the overthrow
of the Government last winter were all concocted
in the Lodge, and carried into execution through
the machinery of signs, grips, or tokens, ' , handed,
sent, or thrown" by the members of the frater
nity. It is an undeniable fact that the,',Com
mitteo of Safety," which took upon itself the
power to call out troops to drive the Legislature
from the Capitol, was almost entirely composed
of Masons. And it is well known that every
prominent leader of the Harrisburg mob was
either a Mason or an Odd Fellow. How did
this happen? Was it by accident or design? It
happened just because David R. Porter was a
Mason, and because Masonry, by its secret ma.
chinory, furnished the means whereby the breth
ren of the Order might bo assunabled for the
above-named wicked and treasonable purpose.
The fact that the leaders of the mob, and the
members of the infamous ' , Committee of Safety,"
were chiefly Masons, opened the eyes of many
good men, who had formerly been opposed to
Anti-Masonry; and many Masons, who valued the
cause of good government and constitutional
freedom at a higher price than they did the insti.
tution of Free-Masonry, have come out and de.
dared that an institution whirls could be prosti.
tuted to such bad purposes should be put down.
Such men as these last deserve the respect and
confidence of their fellow citizens; but what will
Anli.Masons say of those men nho, after these
exhibitions of the wickedness of Free-Masonry,
and the purposes which it may he made to sub
serve, still adhere to it?
Anti-Masons cannot with consistency vote for
any adhering Mason, much less fur one who is
an officer under that administration which has
made use of Masonry for such wicked and tree.
sonablo purposes. Thoso aho have aeon the
influence of Masonry exerted in overawing the
Government of an independent Statoz--in corrupt
ing the fountains of justice by tho appointment of
Masonic judges to acquit Masonic criminals—
will not do such foul wrong to their fellow citi
zens as to assist to amt to an important alike
an adhering Mason—an aider and abettor, too, in
those outrages which soAleeply disgraced Penn
sylvania and destroyed her credit at home and
abroad.
To the Anti-Masons of Adams enmity we say,
Stand fast by your principles—vote for no adher
ing Mason, for by doing so you bring reproach
upon your party, and what is far worse, you do
tnjury to your fellow citizens by placing their
interests at the disposal of a man whose obliga
tions to a wicked institution, he has shown, that
he esteems paramount to those which ho owes to
society.
Freemen, to . the Resew!
Rouso up, freemen of Adams county, to the
vital importance of tho approaching contest. Your
enemies aro untiring nod ceaseless in their efforts
to defeat you; they will move heaven and earth,
if possible, to accomplish your overthrow. If
you are listless, and found sleeping on your posts,
'or fail to rouse up to your sense of duty, and to
rouse up your neighbors and acquaintances, you
will most assuredly see the offices of your county
and the seats of your representatives in the Le
gislature tilled from the ranks of your mob-ad
hering enemies; or at most, elect y .ur ticket by a
meagre majority, whilst you have it in your
power to obtain a GLORIOUS TRlumPii.
The 'Young Guard.'
The proud title of the Yaung Guard has been
justly conferred upon the noble and patriotic
county of Adams. Will her sons, then„ suffer
suffer
themselves to be shamefully defeated in the ap
proaching conflict by a handful of their enemies'?
Will they, whilst they possess the power to con
quer, tamely submit to humiliation and defeat?
Have they forgotten the late indignities and in.
silts heaped upon them by the malice and tyran
ny of their enemies in power, by depriving them
of their right of representation! Fellow freemen,
this disgrace is ran yet wiped out—it still tsrnish.
es the fair fame of the home of your adoption,and
yet the'very men who aided, and supported, and r ,
encouraged the minions of power to bring dis
grace upon their 'own birth-place, now ask fur
vour suffrages!! for your support. A wake, awake,
fellow citizens, to the import ince of the question
ueforo you—rouse up your friends to the res:•ue—

The Prospect.
Even our enemies must and do admit that in
all probability they will be beaten in the coming
conflict; and that they will be beaten horse, foot,
and dragoons, if our friends, AS ONE MAN,
come up to the charge, admit hot of a doubt.
But on the contrary, if dissensions.and a mint of
unity, carelessness, or inattention e rn prevalent
in imr ranks, all is lost. " Let no iino cleat this;
one striking example we have already, hod of the
effects of such a course of conduct. 'When free.

The Ticket—the whole Ticket.
There is not an individual composing the ticket
nominated by the Anti-Masonic County Conven
tion. who is net fully qualified to dischargb well
the duties of the office fur which he is a candi
date. This is on incontroveitila fact. Then,
under these circumstances, is there a single man
within the limits of the county who will hesitate
for one single moment to lay aside every individ
ual preference, and throw the wioo.o weight of his
ii.flmmce in favor of the whdu numinatieul

Law Professorshhip•
The Board .4 Trustees of Pennsylvania Col..
lcge, at their late meeting, established a Law
Department in the said institution, arid have ap
pointed the ifoa:' Daniel Durkee, President Judge
of this judicial district, the PrOfessor. We are
glad that the Board of Trustees have taken this
step; this department will give auditional credit
to the institution, which is already de>ydly
flourishing. Judge Durkee will adorn tne chair
which be has been elected to till, and we hope
most eturerely that ho will accept Lisa appoint_
rent. To his high capacity, his urbanity of
manners, and benevolence of disposition, all will
testify who know him. Under his direction, the
department just established will speedily become
popular.
The Commencement.
In another column will be found an extended
notice of the commencement .ast Thursday, oge
ther with other interesting information, which %NO
cowmen.: to the attention of our readers. As a
generel matter, the productions evinced much
research, and knowledge of the subjects treated of,
and gave evidence of future eminence and useful
ness. We shall not do any of the gentlemen the
injustice to discriminate between the productions;
each did honor to its author, and gave in idence of
unusual industry hod application.
The faults in delivery, if indeed there were any,
were the result of test diffidence natural to those . 4
unaccustomed to public speaking, and on thut ac
count excusable. It requires considerable nerve,
in beginners, to fuco an audience, and want of
confidence has deterred litany a talented ;,..eung
man from the attempt.
We were agreeably surprised to see the iTic-
TEIIPEAN I3ANu" re%ived, which made its “first
appearance this season" on this occasion. The
selection of music was in good taste, in.d well ex
ecuted. We hope to hem froin them again.
The Monthly Religions and
Literary aftegaziese.
The above is the name of a montlilyneriod ?cal
which it is proposed to publish in this place.—
The object of this publication, as set lath in the
prospectus, is to "promote sound and liberal views
in theology, criticism and practical piety, and to
diffuse the useful and ornamental literature of the
day." Such a paper under the direction of the
highly intelligent gentleman who is to conduct it,
w:II be an acquisition to the periodical literature
of the day. The editor, the Rev. Wm. N. Ray-
Notns, is a ripe and good scholar, possessed of
the intelligence, requisite to make the "Maga
zine" both useful and instructive. A wide field
of discussion will be opened, embracing not only
religion, but literature, science, the arts, &c. We
have no doubt that the "Magazine" will be wor
thy of the patronage of the public, and hope it
will receive it. Below, we give the terms of pub.
Ilcation.
I. The Monthly Religious and Literary
Magazine will be published monthly, at
Gettysburg, Pa. upon fino paper, and with
good type, and each number will contain

The exercises were continued for about
altir 'wank: and.notwithstanding their unu
sually protracted kngth, on account of the
number of Addiesses delivered, there was
not the least evidence of weariness amongst
the largo and attentive audience. The ad
diodes delivered were of a highly interest
ing character, and were indeed creditable
to the young men who 1111V6 .t niched their
collegiate course, and to the litstitution.—
W here all acquitted themselves well ) it
would be invidious to particularize. Wo
would venture the assertion, that few, &any,
of our older institutions of learning have
graduated a stkerior class, as a whole, than
the one just sent forth from "Pennsylvania
College." A close and protracted examin
ation in the ditiiirent branches of study in
the Institution, which was previously had,
evinced their faithfulness in study, and their
high respectability of attainment and their
public di-play has detracted nothing from
'the expectations lOrmed respecting them.
The Bacculameute Address of President
Kamrrn was impressive. 11is solemn ad
vice to the graduates, always to '•keep u
conscience void of offence towards Gud and
towards man," will, we have every reason
to believe, not be without its influence.
The Degree of Bachelor of Ai is was con•
ferted on the above named young gentle
men, and on Mr. Bachman, of Baltimore,
who was a member of the graduating class,
but was excused from participating in the
public exercises.
Thu degree of A. M. was conferred upon
the following gentlemen, Alumni of the In•
stitution :—Rev. D. F. Bittle, Rev. Ezra
Keller, Rev. Theophilus Storke, Rev. Chas.
F. Siotlver, M. G. Dale, lie 9. and A. R.
Stevenson; and also upon the Rev. Prof.
Kerr, of Uniontown, Po., and Herman
Haupt, Esq. of Gettysburg.
The Honorary degree of Doctor of Di
vinity was conferred upon the Rev. Win.
Ernst, of Lebanon, Pa., and the Rev. John
G. Morris, of Baltimore, Md.
The Board of Trustees at its semi-annual
meeting transacted a large amount of busi
ness. Arrangements were made for the
most ample instruction in the Preparatory
department, by the appointment of an ad
ditional Tutor. They also established a
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, to be located in

secure their support. What his Loco
Foci) friends will say to this Janus-laced
conduct. we do not know nor do we care.
We know that this shallow-faced artifice
will be seen through, and that instead of
gaining him friends will only, secure him
contempt. As to the capacity of Mr. Mc-
Ginty when compared with that of his
Masonic Loco Foco competitor, we do not
think it will suffer by the comparison.
Ma. Patcrox i—There is a LEETLE of
fice-h aiding "clindidale for Prothonotary
running through our county, trying to de
ceive the %%' hits, and Anti• Masons, into his
support, by stating that he is nut a Locu
Foco, but a W big, and opposed to Martin
Van Buren. Wby Joel you area pretty sam
ple cal Wlogism I must confess ! ho sup.
polled D It. Porter, (the limitation Gover
nor)l Vho sustained, and yet :sustains all
the disgraceful Loco Foe° scenes, that oc
curred al. Hari isbarg in December last?—
The answer is plain—thou art the man; But
Joel, this device is too shallow, the Antt
Masons, and Whigs, of Old Adams County
are too mielligent to be gulled by such a
small piece of impudence from the STATE
OF MARYLAND, and this they will show to
you on the second Tuesday cal October next
by casting their sullinges fur that old and
well tried citizen cal 'heir county A 3105 Mc
GINLEY, by giving the regular majority f
at least live hundred. nark the prediction.

low it strikes a stranger.-l Under the
head of 'Tennsylvania" the Cincinnati Ga
zette has the following remarks:
"The Key Stone State appears to be in
rather a discreditable position. Among
these discredits, we notice the judicial pro
ceedings against the rioters of last winter,
ut the organization of the Legislature.—
J udge Porter, a brother of Governor Porter,
and iecently appointed to office, is accused
of taking very high handed cum ses to shield
the rioters from being brought to trial. We
do not sit in judgment upon the accusation;
but we must say this much,there is a strong
color against the illegality and integrity o f
his proceedings."
The N. 0. Picayune says that all that wo.
men live fur, is to be looked at at.d to be
admired. It Might have added, with egoal
truth, that all that men live f►r is to look at
a nd admire them.—Bost. Post.

CERTIFICATE.,
rims is to certify that I wasseverely of
flicted wit!► the disease technically
iermed Bronchitis, the Tonsils considerably
swollen and much inflamed,the urula or pal
ate permanently elongated, the Frachea or
Windpipe exceedingly painful, my disease
was so extensive and aggravated, as to dis
qualify me from my proles tonal avocations.
and 1 was induced to make application to
the celebrated Professor Doctor Smith of
Baltimore, who cut off a part of the palate,
which gave some little relief, but still did
not cure the disease under which 1 was la.
boring.
As a dernier resort I appli ed to Dr. P.
J. Smith a Botanic Physician of Hanover,,
now of Gettysburg, by whose care, skill
and judicious treatment,l have been perfect
!), and radically cured; and I thus make it
public as,an act of true common justice to
the Doctor, and a full and strong sense of
gratitude to him, and at the same time as
au inducement to others similarly affected
, o aunty theinselves of the like benefits, as
witness my hand this ieth day of Septet:rt.
