From the Daily Telegraph Sr. Intelligcncer, NEW JERSEY. On Wednesday last, Gov. PErmirlorox, of New Jersey, sent a special message to the Legislature of that-State relative to the extraordinary and unconstitutional course pursued by the House of Representatives of the United States towards five of the Rep resentattves of a sovereign member of the confederacy. The Governor speaks in the tones of a patriot and statesman, and de ten is the right of tho Commonwealth ot which he is a Chief Magistrate, with most commendable firmness. The circumstances attending the contes ted election are enumerated in the message, and the plain duty of the Governor indica. ted in a manner that must convince any un prejudiced mind that a most gross insult and outrage has been put upon New Jer sey. We regret that we cannot give the in teresting documennt in full. We have on• ly room for the concluding paragraph: I have thus presented to you my views of this case. 1 find it in no palliating cir cumstances; nothing but a most unprovo ked violation of our rights as a state and impeachment of our character as a people. IVhat action you may think proper to take upon it must be left to your judgment and sound discretion. As the immediate repre sentatives of the people, you best know their feelings and their wishes. If there be not a deep and •settled feeling of injury in the minds ofthe people, I have not properly appreciated their character. It is not among the least alarming features of the case, that the question has always been carried against the rights of the people of New Jersey by a party vote. I trust, gentlemen, you will vindicate the abused , honor and violated rights of the State, in firm and manly tones. That you will enter your solemn protest be fore the country against the usurped pow er of Congress, and call upon them even now to reconsider and reverse an act which can only alienate the feelings of a State among the most devoted of the Union. 1 would now and forever deny the power of Congress to bind this State by her acts, while she denies us a Representation in that body. There will be but one feeling with year sister States. They cannot bu see in this act towards New Jersey, what may be their own fate whenever, for party purposes, the like action towards them shall seem expedient. They should be called on to declare their opinions on the power now for the first time asserted on the floor of Congress. While lam satisfied that, con suiting the wounded feelings of the• people, you cannot reprobate in too strong terms, tho whole of this proceeding, as unconvtitu ttonal, illegal, and void, I would still desire that you may be led into no violent or in. discreet action. The people of New Jer soy are friends to their country, and wil abide by her fortunes for weal or for woe 1 would see you take counsel from your pa triotism as well as from your feelings.— Knowing that it was always more noble to suffer wrong than to do wrong, and in the hope that the day will yet come when our public counsels will be guided by men who will regard the Congress, • the laws, the rights of the States, and the peace and liar. mony of their country. WM. PENNINGTON. LEGISLATIVE PROTEST. The following protest was on Thursday week reported to the Legislature of New Jersey : The Joint Committee, to whom was re ferred the Message of the Governor, with the accompanying documents, respectfully recommend the adoption of the following preamble and resolutions : WHEREAS, it appears from a report made by John B. Aycrigg, John P. B. Maxwell, Wm. Halstead, Charles C. Stratton, and Thomas Jones Yorke, five of the persons duly commissioned as Representatives of the People of New Jersey in the 26th Con. gross of the U. States, to the Governor of this State, and by him communicated to the Legislature, that at the time and place pre= scribed by law for the meeting of that Con gress, they appeared and produced their commissions as such Representatives, and claimed the right to unite with the Repre sentatives from the other States of the U nion, in forming and organizing a House of Representatives, but by the acts of a por tion of those Representatives, were prevent ed from exercising that right, and aro still excluded from any participation in their proceedings and deliberations, by which acts the People of New-Jersey are depri ved of their just voice in the Councils of the Nation, at a time when measures of great public importance,und deeply affecting their feelings and interests, are to be acted upon ; their State authorities and their seal are treated with indignity, and a precedent is sought to be established; which, if not promptly and successfully resisted, may hereafter be used to justify the rejection of electoral votes, or the exclusion of any num ber of duly commissioned representatives, that a designing and unprincipled faction may deem necessary to secure to itself the control of the National Legislature ; and whereas, in this unprecedented emergency it becomes the solemn duty of New Jersey firmly to oppose this attempt to subvert the fundamental principle of a free Representa tive Government, and to call upon her sis ter States to disavow and redress the wrong which has been perpetrated by a portion of thei r Representatives : Therefore, be el Resolved, By the Coun cil and General Assembly of Now Jersey, That the State of New Jersey became a par ty to the Union, upon the express condition embodied in the Constitution, that in com mon with her sister States, she should be, at all times, ciliated to a number of mem bers of the House of Representatives, pro portioned to her population, and that by the laws passed in pursuance' of that Constitu tion, she is how entitled to six Representa tiVes. And be it Resolved, by the authority a• foresaid, That until Congress shall by law make some regulation of the subject, the Legislature of each State has by the Con stitution full and exclusive power to pre scribe "the times, places, and -manner of holding elections for Representatives," which necessarily include the power to pre scribe the manner in which the result of, those elections shall be ascertained and cer-1 tified. And be it Resolved, by the authority a foresaid, That as the Legislature of Now Jersey has prescribed a commission, grant ed by the Governor under the great seal of the State as the only mode in which the e• lection of her Representatives shall be offi cially certified, such a commission, issued, in due form by law confers upon each per son to whom it is granted, a full and per. feet right to claim and exercise all the pow ers and duties of a Representative of the State, until a regularly constituted and or ganized House of Representatives, after duo examination, shall have solemnly adjudged that ho is not elected or qualified ; and that any other mode of certifying such election, is utterly invalid and unknown to the laws of New Jersey. And be it Resolved, by the authority a foresaid, That a House of Representatives cannot be constitutionally and lawfully or ganized, and invested with 'any authority, judicial or legislative, while a single Repre sentative from any State, duly returned and commissioned according to the laws of that State, is excluded from his seat or denied tho exercise of the rights and privileges of a Representative. And be it Resolved, by the authority a foresaid, That the late acts of a portion o the Representatives from the several States, by which five of the persons who were duly commissioned under tho great seal of tho State of New Jersey, as her Representatives in tho 26th Congress of the U. States, were prevented from exercising their rights and discharging their -duties as such Represen tatives, were a palpable violation of the Con- stitution and of the parliamentary law es• tablishod by reason and unvarying usage, a precedent of most alarming and dangerous character, and a gross outrage upon the rights and feelings of the People of New Jersey. Therefore, be at Resolved, by the author ity aforesaid, That in the name and behal of the People of the State of New Jersey, we do hereby solemnly protest againt the acts aforesaid, as unconstitutional, unwar ranted, and unjust ; and against any assump tion by the remaining Representatives from the several States, of the right of authority to exercise any of the powers conferred up on a constitutional House of Representa tives—and more especially, against the at tempt to enact any law for regulating the collection or disbursement of the public re venue, for disposing of the public lands or the proceeds thereof, for pledging the pub lic faith or credit, for imposing any tax or duty, or for the apportionment of Represen• tatives—until the People of New Jersey and their duly commissioned tßepresenta tives shall have been restored to the rights of which they have been wrongfully depri ved. And be it Resolved, by the authority a• foresaid, That a copy of the foregoing Pre• amble and Resolutions, certified under the great seal of the State, which, since 1776, has been, and still is the Constitutional and cherished emblem of the sovereignty of N. Jersey, be transmitted to the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, a Representative'from Virginia with a request that he will lay the same be fore the other Representatives from the se- veral States now assembled,at Washington. And be it Resolved, by the authority a• foresaid, That a copy thereof be transmit ted to the Governor of each of the several States of the Union, with a request that he will cause the same to be laid before the Legislature thereof, and also to each of the Senators, and of the six Representatives o his state. From the Philadelphia Evening Star. THE CASE OF WM. L. MACKENZIE. We ask all to read the letter of Mr. Keim, a member ofCongress from this State, and refrain if they can, from blushing for the degradation and disgrace of their country. AN AMERICAN PRISONER RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THIS UNION, TO APPLY TO AN OFFI€ER OF THE BRITISH GOVERN MENT FOR HIS CONSENT TO HIS RELEASE.- But we dare not permit ourselves to dwell on the disgusting picture! To Messrs. William Gilmore and Robert Christy Secretaries of Me Democratic Union Associa tion, Philadelphia. WASHINGTON, Dec'r 28th, 1839. Gentlemen:—On behalf of a Resolution of the Democratic Union Association,,for Messrs. Poynter, Ingersoll and myself to call upon the President of the United States and request his attention to a Memorial rel ative to the pardon of William Lyon Mac kenzie, it becomes my duty to say that we have fully discharged the desire therein ex pressed. The President who is at all times anxious to gratify the wishes of any portion of the people, regrets exceedingly, that in the pre sent juncture of pending negociations with Great Britain, it would be improper to in• terfere with the action of our courts of jus tice, and therefore at present could not de cisively move in compliance with your wishes. Every possible means have been exerted to make•the confinement of Mr. Mackenzie a nominal one, and to gratify his every wish save his release. My own private views are, that if the friends of Mr. Mackenzie, would appeal to the magnanimity of the resident representa tive of the British provinces in North Amer ica, by his request, ho would be released, and relieve the question from the embarrass ment in which it seems involved. I have the honor to be your friend and servant. GEORGE KELM. (Signed) REMARKS BY W. L. MACIEENZIR..-I will never petition or authorize others to petition an English Colonial Governor to enable an American President to release me from the balance of an unjust and partial sentence of an American Court of Justice. If the American People and government cannot put that to rights without permission of Mr. Poulott Thomson, I'll never degrade them by asking it. I was opposed to the union of republican and monarchial forces to chase William Johnston round the thou• sand islands, and 1 deny this joint jurisdic tion of Presidents and Governors in Monroe County. I think the hint is Mr. Van Bu ren's, because private information confirms and the newspapers admit the fact that he acknowledged when in this state that he had asked the liberty of certain Prescott men, gine° sent over from Fort Henry as a personal favor to himself, and on .the sug gestion of the Canadian authorities had in a manner agreed at the same time never to liberate me without the consent of the Brit ish Governor in Canada. I am really asha med to tell this. If the government it Washington are en deavoring to persuade members of Congress, in order that they may deceive their consti tuents into a belief that "every possible means have been exercised to make the confinement of Mr. Mackenzie A NOMI— NAL ONE, and to gratify his every wish, save his release," on them be the blame. I solemnly believe there is not ono syllable of truth in the assertion, by whomsoever haz arded. lam confined night and day iii the 3rd or upper story of the penitentiary; NEVER fora moment PERMITTED TO•1 GO INTO THE yard or OPEN AIR; never allowed to see or converse with the other prisoners nor to walk through the prison; _my acquaintances in general aro re fused admission to my strongly ironbarred apartment, nor am I informed when they call upon me, except a few whom the jailer knows,or who may have letters of introduc tion to him; at four each afternoon I am locked up and shut out from all communi cation with every human being for the rest of the day, except my family if any of them choose to come and see or stop with me; at certain hours I may walk in an unfinished and uninhabited part of the building at the top of the jail, and I have the privilege of eating at my own cost, and of struggling to maintain, a large and helpless family with out ono feeling of sympathy from the gov ernment which thus makes me the victim of its tortuous policy. If this Is nominal con finement 1 wish Mr. Van Buren and his cabinet had their full aharo of it to teach thorn humanity; they deserve it more than I do. lam allowed pen, ink and newspa pers, and even with all these, they would sigh for an outside sight of these massy walls, before eighteen months were out. Is it a nominal punishment, which when my aged mother lay a corpse a few yards die. tact forbade me to look upon her remains, and refused me permisoion on my parole to attend her funeral? Mr. Van Buren did not even condescend to cause his under clerk to answer my letter! Law in this country, taking all its foun• dations from the opinions of the friends of monarchy, has many narrowing principles. Mr. Van Buren began his legal career by taking a side in a case to be tried before a Kinderhook Justice. His Message, ex cellent as is the financial part, is as oneai• ded in practice. In the strongest terms that any ono who values truth or character can use I deny the correctness of its assertions "that in almost every complaint against our country the offence may be traced to emi grants who have sought refuge here" and that those emigrants were aided but seldom by citizens of the United states. The Pres cott expedition had its origin at the great meeting at Salina—the Navy Island enter prize was it not planned and executed by American Citizens? Sutherland has sworn that it was? When will we be permitted to tell the verity whether England like it or not? What confidence can we have.in mat ter at currency to those who strike at the fallen with concealed weapons in the case of Canada? Why should a national message be like a barrister's plea, telling the best sto• ry he can for his client, whether it be the truth or not? To the Irishmen of '9B-6 the country. men of Burns ; Bruce and Wallace. C•l2ead Mr. Van Buren's reply to the Pennsylvani ans, and say, "Shall we in America be for ced to crouch to the murderers of our fore. fathers, the assassins of Rathcormack, Pe terloo, Ballyuahincb, Culloden, Is the race of '9B extinct in America? Are the hardy race who cheered O'Connell on to a bloodless victory asleep? We talk of liberty, and does it mean to tax us to build bastiles in this Union for living graves to whoever a British Governor in Canada may point hie finger at? What will be our next step in this ladder of degradation? Poverty• is no crime, but for a people to become mean and slavish,it is a poor heritage to their children! If it be my turn to-day for the Bastile, who can say it will not be his to-morrow?" FURTHER FROM THE LEXING• TON. The Now-York papers of Saturday evening contain tho following letter from Capt. Com stock, of the Steamboat Statesman, which was despatched by tho Proprietors of the Lexington to the scene of the late disaster : Steamboat Lexington, Friday night, Jan. 17, 1840. We aro now returning to N. York, hav ing searched the shores of Long Island from Huntington to Fresh Pond landing, a dis tance, taking into consideration the depth of the bays and inli3ts, of nearly 90 miles ; every rod of which, I think, has been thor oughly examined by the persons on board the boat, with myself and others on shore, who came down by land. We have been able, however, to regain but five bodies— one is identified as being that of Mr. Stephen Waterbury, of the firm of Mead and Water bury, of N. York ; upon another was found a memorandum book with the name of Phi lo Upson, South Egremont, Mass. One a little boy, probably 4 or 5 years old. From the appearance of the others, they were probably deck dandy of the boat. We have 80 packages of baggage, and the life boat of the Lexington. These, with the bodies, we are now conveying to New• York. From Crane Neck Light to Old Man's Landing, 12 or 15 miles east, including the deep bays adjacent, the coast is covered with pieces of the wreck, among which I noticed her name upoU the siding nearly in full length—large pieces of her guards and portions of almost every part of the boat, most of which aro burnt to a coal. We found one of her quarter boatft, froth which those of the bodies now _in our pos session wore taken. She is very slightly damaged. The boat was thrown up at n place called Miller's Landing ; and hero we learned that a man had como ashore on a bale of cotton, alive, 15 miles to the east ward of this place, to which I immediately repaired. Here I could not effect a landing, owing to the large quantities of ice drilled in by the strong northerly wind. We, however, crowded the steamer in near e nough to the shore, to converse with per sons drawn to the beach by our signals, and from thorn learned the fact that Mr. David Crowly, second mate, had drilled ashore near there upon a bale of cotton, on Wednesday night, at 9 o'clock, having been forty-eight hours exposed to the severity of the weather, after which he made his way through large quantities of ice and snow before gaining the beach, and then walked three•quarters of a mile to the house where he now is. His hands aro little frozen, his legs considerably so. He is not able, how ver, to bo moved at present. This I have been told by ,persons who saw him to-day. It appears next to an impossibility consid ering the severity of the weather, but it is undoubtedly true. Since leaving New• York we have had severe cold weather, and the ice has corn pletely blocked up the shores. The nor therly winds keep driving the ice to lee ward, and every thing not floating very lightly, would naturally be buried beneath this constant accumulation of ice. In con- sequence of this I think we have been pre• vented from procuring many bodies that in more moderate weather could have been Captain William Terrell, master of the sloop Improvement, was, with his vessel, within four or five miles of the Lexington, at the time she commenced burning, and thinks if he had immediately repaired to her assistance, he could have saved a great number of lives. The reason ho gives for not doing so is, that he would have lost his tide over the bar at the port to which he was bound, and accordingly he pursued his inhuman course, leaving up wards of 100 persons to dio the worst of deaths. The circumstances of this unpre cedented cruelty will hereafter be more clearly exposed, and I trust he will receive its merited deserts. I left New-York in the steamer States man, at 8 o'clock on Thursday, A. M. since which time, up to the moment of our leav ing the scene of sorrow, which the shores we have visited presented, no time has been lost in doing all that lay in our power to search the greatest possible tract of beach, vainly hoping to save alive some one cling ing to any thing within reach, and also to regain all the bodies possible, foi the pur pose of rendering to surviving relations the only consolation left them in this painful separation from their departed friends. 1 feel myself under obligations to Capt. Peck, for his unceasing efforts to enter with his boat every bay or creek where the least hope was entertained of accomplishing the object of our undertaking. Your's, with respect, JOSEPH J. COMSTOCK. A heavy call.—lt is well understood that Michigan for the last three years has been under the control of the Loco Foco party—who have cursed her with a "Dem ocratic" general banking law, the fruitful mother of her "red dog," "sandbank," and "wild cat" banks—and have run tbo state debt something like five millions of dollars. The "long and short" of the matter is that this year, Michigan must raise by tax the interest on her state-debt, (she having no other way to raiso the money,) 6447,553. This will be a pretty severe tax upon a po pulation of 100,000 inhabitants ; and will effectually cure them of any remaining taint of Locofocoism.—Springfield (la) Journ. NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY. The Message of Gov. Fairfield to the Legislature of Maine, delivered on the 3rd inst. has not yet been received. We find, however,some extracts from this document in the New York papers, relative to the boundary question, by which it appears that one or more companies of British troops are stationed at Temiscouta Lake, within the disputed territory. The publish. ed correspondence betcvbett Gov. Fairfield and Sir John Have% "aonsieting of an enquiry on the part of . the former concern• ing the fact of such occupation, and of the reply of Gov. Harvey in return,shows that the movement of troops to the above named point was directed by the British authorities in Canada. This is regarded by the Executive of Maine as a clear viola- tion of the agreement entered into last Spring through the mediation of General Scott. The following letter has been ad. dressed by Gov. Fairfield to the President of the United States: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Augusta, Dec. 23, 1839. Its Excellency, M. VAN BUREN. President of the U. States: Sra:—lt having been reported to me that a large number of British troops had been stationed at Temiscouta Lake in the dispu ted territory, and seeing extracts from the Provincial papers confirmatory of these reports, I deemed it proper to apply directly to the Lieut. Governor of the Province of New Brunswick, which I did by letter of the 12th instant, to ascertain whether these reports were well founded or not. His answer, under date of December 19th, 1 received yesterday, while on my way to this place. My letter and the reply are both herewith enclosed. It will be perceiv ed that two companies of British troops have actually been stationed at Tomiscouta Lake, where it is known that extensive barracks have been previously erected.— This is clearly a violation of the spirit of the arrangement entered into between the Lieut. Governor of New Brunswick and myself, in March last, though the orders have been issued by the Governor of Lower Canada. I submit also, whether the contingency contemplated by the Act of Congress of March 3, 1839,has not occurred—whether the facts do not clearly show an invasion of the State of Maine, which the Executive Government of the United States, under tho directions of tho Act aforesaid, ns well as under the obligations of the Constitution, is bound to repel. I may add, that, I am wall informed that the British govornmrnt rs also erecting barracks upon both sides of the St. Johns, near the mouth of the Madawaska river and that troops aro concerting at Grand Falls. Under all these circumstances, I deem it to be my duty to call upon the Government of the United States for that protection of (his State from invasion,goar anteed to her by - the Constitution. With the highoat respect, I am, Sir,your most ob't servant, JOHN FAIRFIELD, Governo• of Maine. The Editor of the "Old Dominion," a lo co•foco of the straitest sect, has visited Washington. After congratulating his friends on the election of a Whig Speaker; ho then pours hot shot into some of the Bentoman associates,whose conduct accom• plished that joyful result. Mr. Francis Thomas, Cave Johnson and Gen. Drom goole, are the especial objects of his indig nant invective. Hoar him: "The malignante," as they are termed, the independent (1) squad, who, by their ob stinacy and unpardonable selfishness, have defeated•their own party in the election of Speaker, are politically dead; they are as effectually shelved as Wm. C. Rives him self. The astonishing course which they thought proper to pursue, meets with uni versal execration; I have not seen a single democrat, member or not, who attempts to palliate or explain this astounding derelic tion from the path of political duty. Mr. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, and Mr. Cave Johnson, of Tennossee,and, I am grie ved to add, Gen. Dromgoole, of Virginia, bear a load of blame which would make a giant reel. They drow after them Mr. Turney and Blackwell of Tennessee, Casey and Reynold, of Illinois, P. F. Thomas, of Maryland and, on one occasion, Mr. Conner, of North Carolina, and Mr. Banks, of Vir ginia. These gentlemen not being satisfied with declining to support Mr. Lewis, and leaving the House, remained in their seats and defeated the democratic party! Will that party ever again give thorn their coun tenance and support? "Would'st thou hays a serpent sting thee twice?" It is well understood that come of these gentlemen were expecting the nomination thembelvea—particularly Mr. Francis Thom as; and that their opposition arose from pri vate griefs at being disappointed in the vain hope; it is reported too, that Mr. Thomas was originally a federalist; at any rate, he is President of a hideous moneyed monopo• ly; he is, moreover, a lawyer, and is conse quently prepared to espouse the cause of any client %leo can promise him the highest fee. The people will learn wisdom in time. After they have been betrayed and deceiv ed a few thousand times more, they will • send farmers and mechanics to halls al and let the lawyers fill writs at home.

This is the slanderous language 'with which the loco loco federalists, true to their sympathies for the British and Indians, eve. ry where assail the gallant and patriotic he. ro of Tippecanoe and Fort Meigs. As it seems not to be generally under. stood, even among our own friends, how or whence this miserable slander originated, we will let Judge Burnett, who has well known Gen. Harrison for 40 years tell the story. After the insolent demand of Proctor up on General Harrison to surrender • Fort Meigs, and the heroic answer of the latter, and the enemy had retired, a number of In. dians who had left the enemy came into the fort and stated that, a contract had been en tered into between Proctor and Techumseh, that as soon as the fort was surrendered, which they considered inevitable, Harrison should be given up to the Indians, to be die. posed of as they might see proper. ' Harri son replied: "Then General Proctor can be neither a soldier nor a man: - But it it shall ever bo his fate to surrender to me, his life shall be protected, but / will dress him in a petticoat,and deliver him overly the squaws, as being unworthy to associate with men." "On this story, sir," says the venerable Judge Burnett, "was founded an infamous slander on General Harrison, and a base insult to the ladies of Chillicothe,fabricated by a person whose name 1 will not stoop to mention, and published by the administra tion press."—Madisonian.

The Op. position Senators have been denied the common courtesies which are always ex tended by them when they have the power of turning the scale, of allowing gentlemen to speak at seasonable hours.

INSCRIDID Waif TUB INSPIRING WORDS :-ONE PRESIDEN TIAD TERM—THE INTEGRITY OF THE PUBLIC SERVANTS—THE SAFETY OF I'HE PUBLIC MONEY—AND THE GEN ERAL GOOD OP THE PEOPLE:' To the Patrons of the Star and Banner. The establishment of the Star and Banner has now passed, by mile, into the hands of G. W. Bowser, by whom it will hereafter bo conducted. We would avail ourselves of this opportunity to recommend our successor to the cordial support of all who feel interested in the welfare of the es tablishment, feeling confident from his well known attachment to sound principles, and his determi ned opposition to the powers that be, he will prove every way worthy of their patronage. We cannot voluntarily leave the station we have occupied within the last year without feelingiof sincere re. gret, although mitigated by the assurance that so far "as in us laid" we have endeavored to discharp,e the duties Incumbent upon us with an eye single to the promotion of the good cause, for which we in common with many thousands of our fellow citizens have boon contending. And whilst upon this subject.we would say that now whilst the whole force of the great Anti-Van Buren party is concentrated upon the nominees of the National Convention-SIIPPOILT yoga Pareses—let no pecuniary embarrassments arising from • want of punctuality upon your part prevent those who have the charge of public journals, from exercising their time and talents to secure to the war-worn veteran his just duo—the rich reward of a life de voted to the service of his country—the highest office within the gift of a free people. The fact of our being unacquainted with the mechanical part of the business and the consequent extra ex pense attending the publication of the paper under these circumstances, has been the principal motive which induced us to dispose of the establishment at this time; but had we notbeen folly convinced of the ability of our successor to render general satisfaction to our patrons, and secure to himself the support of a liberal community, whilst he la bors in the cause of the people, we would not nutlet any circumstances have made the change alluded to. To our neighbor of the uSentinel," as a co-worker in the good cause, we tender a cordial adieu, and to our friends and patrons gen gerally, we wish success and prosperity, and until the time arrives wlten they shall have gone down to their graves In - tie:ace, may they never forget to 'PAY THE PRINTER." Respectfully your's, ROBERT S. PAXTON TO TILE PUBLIC. Having become the proprietor of the "Star and Banner," a few words only will be necessary to indicate my editorial course. The paper will con tinue to advocate the same principles which it has uniformly done from its origin. It was establlshed to vindicate the true doctrines of republicanism), against a secret and most powerful aristocracy; to foster the principles of equality of rights against* partial, oath-bound, dangerous combination, bound together by the most impious oaths, and the most awful penalties. This and kindred prints have done much to overthrow and prostrate that most wicked and dangerous conspiracy. But masonry is constantly on the watch to seize the moment ~when the people slumber to rear again her bloody banner, and pour forth her vials of wrath ! against an opposing people. We shall keep an eye on her movements, andlive warning of her reviving _struggles. Wo hope thus to be able to prevent .ber inflicting much injury upon the country. We shall give our cordial support to the “Hero of Tippecanoe," because we believe him to be a sound, unshackled statesman, as well a. a gallant warrior. Ho has defended our frontier from e cruel foe; and has carried comfort into the poorest '.leg cabin" of our borders. We shall oppose the present corrupt profligate, who disgraces the exec utive, chair of this State; who is increasing our State debt at the rate of $7,000,000 a year: and .1 2.7 neninmending a State tax to be levied on the people; to bo squandered in lawyer's fees on such tools as his brother James, and G. F. John son. Who has robbed the widoes of her farm, and pleaded the Statue of Limitations to defraud his own creditors— honest waggoners, and others, of their hard earnings. Who, after having suffered fraudulent bankiupicy himself, is fast bringing the commonwealth to 'his own degraded level, Who refhlM tn-PIII honest contractors, who have given their toil and invested their money in the public works of the State; and who are now suffering the extremity of distress for want of that which is duo them from the Commonwealth. We will oppose that faithless party which is striving to violate the plighted faith of the State; to disregard her moat solemn contracts; annul charters granted by herie!f; and raise the barbar ous war cry of the "poor against the rich; and the rich against tho poor." Such doctrines ere des tructive of all civilized government; and utter ru in to tho weaker portion of community. We shall, as a public journal, take no part in the slavery question. But we shall contend for the right of free discussion on all and every ques tion which freemen may choose to'agitate; and we shall mark with our severest reprobation, those who so far forget themselves and the law, as to attempt to disturb peaceable assemblies, for what ever purpose met. If the use of these lawful weapons should strike off the shackles of the oppressed, we shall shed no tears over their bro ken fragments. We have long enough been the slaves of the South to assort at least, our own independence. Mobs, rebellions, a corrupt judi ciary, and debauched executive, and their whole tribe of advocates and adherents shall find in us a determined foe. Beings practical printer, I shall give my perso nal superintendence to the mechanical part of the establishment; and shall he always ready to exe cute any orders in the line of my business. Born in the county of Adams; I hope to find such en couragement, as will enable me to make it my per manent abiding place, and preserve the "Star and Banner" from again soon changing hands. Respectfully your's, G. WASHINGTON BOWEN. Hereafter our paper will be issued regularly ev ery Tuesday morning,instead of eaturday as here tofore. By this arrangement our subscribers in every section of the county will bo enabled to ro ceive their papers on the day after publication. D. B. PORTER AND HIS PIMP—THE AUDITOR GENERAL. Daring the last summer the AUditor General, under the direction of the Governor, spent several months in Huntingdon county, along the line of the broach in the canal, to try to hunt out some scandal against the late canal commissioners and their agents. Rig proceedings were carried on without notice to the parties whom he intended to calumniate, although several of them resided in the same county. Old, worthless vagabond workmen, who had been turned off for bad con duct by their employers, were sought out and procured to swear to any thing that Porter and Co. desired, so as to found a slanderous report on to the Legislature, which we understand has been made accordingly, in the appropriate style of the infamous creature who was employed for that pur pose. That creature (the Auditor General) was lately Treasurer of Venango county, and charged with official perjury in making his return; there by putting money into his own pocket. For ouch qualifications he was made Porter's accounting officer! [BAnnora. One groat object in the above inquest after slander, was to destroy the character of John Stonebraker, a supervisor, who was an important witness as to Porter'e fraudulent insolvency; and whose character was so irreproachable that where both Porter and ha were known, Porter must be forever disgraced or Stonobreaker must be des troyed. Accordingly Porter and the Auditor General caused prosecutions to be instituted against Stonebraker, Fenton and Chapman, all supervisors on the "breach." At the first Court (August last) they sent up no bills, but put it off for another Grand Jury, as they said. At the January court just past they sent up the bills against Stonebraker, both" of which were ""igno red," and Porter's prosecuting attorney, and prin ter directed to pay the costa. He then deemed it I prudent not to sand the other bill up lest he should have more costs to pay; and the court discharged the defendants from further proceedings. Such is the end of this infamous attempt to slander the late administration and destroy honest men because they knew of Porter's villainy!— What infamy must fall on the heads of Porter and Espy for this lying report, made to the Legit'- , Wore, and this abortive attempt against the char acter of Stonebraker and other supervisors? The following are copies of the records of the Hunting. don county Court:— .

RECORDING DEEM-A few days since Judge aruoun derided "that if a person does not re cord their deed within six months, a judgment entered against the former holder of the estate would cut out the deed, and a sale under such judgment would be effectual." Judge &rutin") has since stated that his decision was wrong, and against the settled principles of law, and granted a new trial. The lose occasioned by the late destructive fiM at Wilmington, N. C., is estimated at about five hundred thousand dollars. SILNATOR Ducaiaatr hill recommended en in crease of twenty-five hundred dollars a year to the Treasurers of the mints at Philadelph lo and New Oilcans. Mr. WALKER- It might bo dishonest on the part of the Government, if they had Treasury notes out, and a small balance of them remained out, not to pay that balance in gold and silver. I am not willing, therefore, now to submit the proposition that we shall never use Government eredit. But now, when we are out of debt, there can bo no necessity for Gov ernment paper. Mr. W. hero entered into a long and elaborate ar gument to show the great superiority of a specie over ' a paper currency, in the course of which he emphat ically contrasted the commercial' condition of Cuba, where labor and capital are so low,sky weans of an exclusive specie currency, that sug ar can be produced, as he alleged, for one cent a pound . He contrasted this state of things with tho commercial condition of this country, and especially of his own State, whero labor and capital are io high, by means of a paper curren cy, that it requires some five or six times the amount, in comparison with Cuba, to command the Use of cap Hal, and thus raise for the market our staple produc tions. Thus, though labor and capital in this coun try are raised by paper to a very high value, our pro ducts come high into the market, at a disadvantage with those of Cuba, and our commerce is consequent ly embarrassed. Mr, W. expressed the ardent wish that we might attain the same happy condition of the Island of Cuba by means of a purely metallic currency. , His argu ment was listened to with much attention, and with strong and evident approbation, by a considerable number of Senators. We have extracted the above from the debate now going on in Congress on the Sub. Treasury Bill. Mr. WALKEn is ono of the leading friends of Mr. Van Buren, and a strong advocate of eao anti-hank, hsal money doctrines. Wo have all along warned our readers that the effect of this mad scheme would be to greatly lessen the value of all property and of all industry, and that none could be bonofitted by it but the wealthy usurer or southern nabob-planter ; that the most wretch ed victims of it would be the mechanic and labo-' rcr—the poor man, who earned hi3,living by the sweat of his brow. Its real effect is now boldly avowed on the floor of Congress by its able 4 and most consistent, because sincere advocates: They demonstrate, with unanswerable truth, that the suppression of tho banks, and introduction of a hard money currency, would have the same effect hero that it has in Cuba, (an Island adjacent to our coast,) and reduce the price of labor ao that sugar would cost but one cent to raise it instead of six—in short, that labor would, under tho no-bank system, be six times less than it is now. And this Van Buren Senator "expressed his ardent wish that we might attain that hap py condition !" What do the mechanic and la borer think of their professed friends now, when their principles come to be fairly stated 1 But the Sub-Treasury Bill will pass. Van Buren has ordered it. And the laborer will receive one shit- ling a day for his work instead of six ; and the middling classes will find their property reduced to one.sixth its present value ; and the shaver and the Southern nabobs will be lords of this land ! There is but ono escape—thrust forth Van Burou, Porter, and choir grinding, taxing, plundering tribe, from office ; and put in their place old tried, faithful friends of tho people, who know the wants and can sympathize with the inhabitants of the ""Log Cabins." TILE ELECTOR.SII. TICKET. We have learnt with regret that the Grand Lodge. at Philadelphia, is making efforts to regain its power and influence by remoddleing the Elec toral Ticket—so anxious are the Anti-masons to defeat the present oppressors of the nation, that the lodge imagines that they will sacrifice all their principles. and violate ell their professions of the Net ten years. We have been informed that in Phi ladelphia high and bitter functionaries of the lodge are selected for electors. If this be true, it will be fatal to its success in this State. Tho Anti-ma. sons hive sacrificed much for the sake of Union. They have not asked for the nomination of Anti. masons--they are satisfied if men, not adhering masons, are offered to their choice—bra we Mink we hazard nothing in suying that nothing will induce them to support an Electoral Ticket tom posed of adhering masons. If the lodge will force such men on to the ticket, defeat is inevitable.— This is no idle gasconade. There aro eighty thousand conscientious Anti masons in Pennsyl vania, who, while they forego the name of Anti. masonry for the good of the whole, will not violate their consciences by voting for a member of the blood-stained institution of masonry. Surely the Whigs could find enough good untrammeled men of their party, without entering the dark chambers of the lodge. Wo trust our friends ev ery where will give distinct warning upon this subject, Cult sure defeat may' not be fastened on us by the bigotry of a few, Extract of a Letter to Me Editor, dated Wasnryotow, Jan. 23, 1840, Dr..in Sin "The House of Representatives has been enga ged for upwards of a week, in the discussion of a resolution offered by Mr. IVaddy Thompson, of South Carolina, as an amendment to the standing rules of the House. This is intended to prohibit the reception of all petitions on the subject of ski tvery, whether in the States, District of Columbia or Teritories or elsotvhere. There was some ex- citemont manifested on the day on which the do : bato commenced, but since that time the question has been very temperately discussed, except in one or two instances,when the House was treated with foolish rhapsodies by some of the hot-Wooded chivalry of the South. The previous question has been twice called since the discussion com menced, but the Holm did not sustain the call— which shows, at least, a disposition to debate the subject, let the final. determination of the House be what it may. If the House ho gagged on this subject now, it is the la:I time." PENNHYLT•ITIA.-T1143 revenue of this State for the last fiscal year is short of the expenditures by the enormous sum of one million eighty-seven thousand dollars. A good specimen of the °con. omy of. the present administration: Gaonors..—The Loco Foco Legislature of this Stato closed its late session without making any provision for the payment of the $300,000, for which it is now under protest in Now York; and without having made any provision for the pay ment of its State bonds, in Europe.
