From the Columbia Courant. HON. CHARLES NAYLOR AND HIS DEFAMERS. The enemies of this gentleman, discover ing that their infamous falsehoods are only recoiling upon their own worthless heads, have shifted their mode of attack, and are now as we learn from an address of Mr. Naylor to his constituents, published in the Philadelpia papers of Monday, attempting to bully him into silence. As an excuse for their new mode of carfare, Charles In gersoll, the son and counsel of Charles J. Ingersoll, seized hold of the following ex pression in Mr. Naylor's contradiction of .ome of their new made falsehoods, which appeared a few days since, and tortured it into a personal insult—" The whole of the testimony bearing upon the case at all, has been natassr—such testimony as would be scouted with scorn from a court of jus• lice, or any tribunal of honest men, and suck as no man of sense would' attempt to introduce anywhere." He therefore sent by his "friend" Col. A. J. Pneesoriron, the President of the Mount Joy Rail Road, the Hero of Col. M'Elwee's gunpowder explo sion, are. dic. a peremptory and insulting demand for an apology. This of course was refused, and shortly a challenge was sent by the same valiant Colonel. We will give Mr. Naylor's account of the affair which is stainped with frankness and truth in every line. After withdrawing to a pri vate room, in accordance with Mr. Pleason ton's request, and after positively refusing to return a verbal answer to a written re quest, which was required by Pleasonton with more importunity than civility or com mon sense, Mr. Naylor proceeds,— "He then asked me how soon I would answer it. I replied as soon as I could see my friends. He asked me when I would see them. I told him instantly, if I could find them, but certainly io the course of the evening. He stood a while without saying anything, (for he had continued standing, with his hat ea, during the whole inter. view.; At last he said that be did not feel satisfied—that he was lammed at my course. I had left no mode of settling it. I then grew warm, and said, "Sir, you must not undertake to dictate to me. Your conduct in doing so is indelicate. You present me a hostile message in writing, and with the message in my band you seem to expect that I should point out the means of avoid ing a fight. / have given you my answer 'on this subject. Mr. Ingersoll shall receive a written one from me. 1 have nothing more to say on this subject, and here the interview must end. He again, and very peremptorily, said that he was not satisfied; I told him he was insolent, and must leave the house—he said he would not go; t opened the door leading 'to my office, where Mr. Brock was, and said to Col. Pleasonton, pointing to the *44 (for he was in the back end of the room,) 'Sir, I request you to leave my house.' He again replied that I had not , given him a satisfactory answer. I then said that be had all.the answer he would re ueive verbally; that he had brought me a hostile message m writing, and that 1 was determined that I would not give any an swer. but a written one. 'Now, sir,' said I, ''you will please leave my house.' To this be replied that he would not leave my, or any gentleman's house, until he was ready. I paused a moment, scarcely able to control myself, recollecting that he was 'estranger is sny house, coming in the character of a, gentleman. 1 said to Mr. Brock, 'will you be kind enough to call in a ()Ace o ffi cer to carry this fellow ofr."Sir, said he in a loud voice, '1 will not leave this house until 1 am ready, for you.orill the officers in tho land.' As soon as he uttered these words,/ seized him by the collar and dragged him to the door; he had an umbrella in his hand end lifted it to strike me. I caught his um brella and wrested it from his hand, threw it on the floor and broke loose from his grasp—for shilst /ewes taking his umbrella from him, hated seized Ice by the throat. The moment I was loose,l struck him and he fell upon a chair. I then caught him by the collar, dragged him from the back room -of my house to the front door, and thrust him into the street—and that is the last I have seen of Col. Pleasonton." Mr. Naylor states that he immediately returned Mr. Ingersolra challenge, and in formed him if he had any more communica tions to make to him, they must be made by one who knew how to behave like a gen tleman. Ingersoll fearing that none such would be likely to interfere in so disreputa ble a proceeding, re-delivered the challenge personally. Before he did so, however,and before the correspondence had closed, he had taken the precan'tion to have it, togeth er with the whole correspondence between himself and Mr. Naylor, published in the Pennsylvanian, which he plainly foresaw, and which he intended, as Mr. Naylor inti• mates,would induce thb interference of the ' civil authorities. Ile was not'mistaken, as will be seen by Mr. Naylor's 'closing re marks. We give them below, and also his mote to Ingeleoll-- "Ae might have been 'foreseen. this publi• cation was immediately in the hands of ev ery body, and withm an hour or two after I received Mr. ingerboll's letter of Saturday, the Mayor of the Northers Liberties had isimed warrants, reciting as his ground for issuing them, Mr. Ingersoll'si publication in the Pennsylvanian, for the arrest of all the parties, which were executed in the course of the morning, first upon Mr. Ingersoll and subsequently upon myself. 1 have also learned that process was likewise issued by the Mayor of the city immediately on pe rusing Mr. Ingersoll's publication. On Sat urday afternoon, afhalf past 4 o'clock, I ad dressed Mr. Ingersoll the following note, which finally closed our correspondence. Saturday afternoon, March 91, 1840. Half pain 4 o'clock. Sir-....At precisely twenty five minutes put 10 o'clock, I received from yOur own hands your nate of this morning. Since that time my attention has been directed to (what I had not before seen or beard of) rut communication, over your own name, tw the Pennsylvanian of this morning, by *kb 'MI Woo l is the midst of our cor respondence on this subject published a to the world; compelled, the interference of dm civil authorities, procured your own nod my arrest, and thrown'yourself on the pro tection of the police. After such a course of conduct, you cer tainly cannot expect me or any other hon orable man to take any further notice of you or your notes. Your obedient servant, CHARLES NAYLOR. C. Ingersoll, Esq." . Here the matter ended, and how signally these boasting calumniators failed in their designs to intimidate Mr. Naylor, every one can judge who can read. II Mr. Ingersoll has not proved himself, or rather been pro. ved a poltroon by Mr. Naylor, and if Col. Pleasanton has not lost his claim to the ti tle of a gentleman, then we confess ourself at a loss to understand the meaning of the terms. No one hug. a cowward would have told the public, in a community where he knew the laws forbid it, and that they would interpose to prevent it, that he had challen ged a gentleman to' mortal combat,' and no one but a man wholly deficient in all the qualities of a gentleman would have con ducted himself as Col. Pleluintann did in another gentleman's house. We trust that the mortification and dis grace which the infamous gang of despera does who have pursued Mr. Naylor with such fiendish malignity, have received in this matter, •vill be a lesson to them for the remainder of the examination. THE STATE DEBT. Messrs. Baily, Hill, M'Kinstry, Crispin and Evans, of the House of Representatives, have made .a report froin the minority of the committee on internal improvement, from which the following extracts are made. They speak for themselves; but the reader will please not to forget that not a dollar was added to the permanent debt of the State, during Ritner's administration. If the plan proposed by the majority of the committee be carried out, the State of Pennsylvania, before three years more, will be involved in the enormous debt of near fifty million,. The following statement, based upon the plan proposed, will show by what means the State debt will have reached in so short a time that enormous amount: 1. The whole amount of State debt on the let of January, 1840, according to the message of the Governor, wee $34,141,663 80 k • Balance of the loan oflat February,lB4o,to be ad _ _ ded to State debt, interest -oa above loanort the end of the year 1840, 32,500 00 Sum proposed to be tor- rowed in 1840, per im- provenseat bill, Interest on the above sum, at the cad of the year 1840, Eatimated deficit to the Treasury, for the year ending 1940, THE STATE DEBT AT THE END OF 1810,WILL AMOUNT TO The increase of the debt at the expiration of 1840, will be $5,454,700 30, to which must added a sum necessary to complete public works and to provide for the repairs, amounting to $4,038,793, to be borrowed at the'commencement of 1641. The case will stand thus, at the expiration of 1841: 1. State debt at the begin ning of 1840, $84,141,663 80 2. Debt contracted in 1840. 5,454,700 90 Do. do. at the commencement ofIE4I, 4,938;793 00 Intered on $10,393,493 90, to be paid at the ex piration of 1841, At the commencement of 1840, under the circum stances as they then ex isted,the State Treasurer estimated the annual de ficit at At - the expiration of 1841, the State debt will be $46,054,831 75 HAYING INCREASED IN TWO YEARS, $11,918,167 95. By the end of the year 1842, our finan ces will stand as follows—the Three years having expired at that time: 1. At the commencement of 1842,the State debt will be $46,054,831 75 2. Interest on $11,913,167 95, at bye per cent., to be paid at the end of 1842, 3. Deficit in the treastrry,as explained at item 6, above, According to the above cal- culation, the debt at the beginning of the year 1843, tviUhe $47,650,489 14 It is believed that if any error exists in the above statement, it is in favor of the Commonwealth. The undersigned, believe that if the scheme is persevered in, the pub. lie debt will not only have reached this amount, but will have greatly exceeded it. No allowance having been made for re pairs, after the year 1840, in the above ee• timate, that item, it is reasonable to behave, will swell the amount another million. As there are scarcely any of our improve. ments the cost of which has not greatly ex ceeded the estimate, it is fair to infer, that that the estimated cost of those now in pro gress will fall below the real, perhaps to the amount of another million: Thus ma king the State debt, at the expiration 'of 1842, amount to the enormous, sum of FORTY—NINE MILLIONS SIX HUN— DRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY—NINE DOL LARS AND FOURTEEN CENTS; having increased in the short space of seven yeare, about twenty seven millions. This certainly presents our condition in an nate -vorable aspect; but it is believed to be strictly true. To, ale extinguieionent the interest accruing annually on this large sum, to the amount of about two million five hundred thousand dollars, othervources will have to be sought after, it is fair to presume, than the revenue derived from the public works. So far as our system of In ternal improvement has yet progressed, the tolls have scarcely exceeded the amount necessary for repairs. From the Baltimore Patriot. PIIOSPECIII OF GEN. HARBISON IN THE WEST.—An anecdote illustrating the mag- nanimity of his character. A letter on professional mattera,contain ing incidentally some remarks on the signs of the times in the West, has lately been received—l cannot refrain from giving you the latter portion of it for publication. The writer is very well known to me. He is a gentleman of great intelligence and purity of character: and any thing he will state on his own knowledge, is entitled to the most implicit credit. The anecdote places the character of Gen. Harrison in a most enviable position before the country—and it forcibly brought to my mind the saying of the wise man, " He that ruleth bis apir. it, is better than he that taketh a city." .4. man of dark, revengeful and ungoverned passions is not qualified for a ruler. Hut he is one of nature's noblemen who, even under such circumstances, could say, as Gen. H. did, that in obtaining a victory, he had no wish to mortify a rival. X— . CINCINNATI, March 17th, 1840. MY DEAR AIR : You may lay loose rein on the neck of your faith in the Western triumphs of Harrisonisst. The whole country flames with enthusiasm—and with confidence of victory. The Locos are dis heartened and in amaze; while their oppo nents are full of animation and hope. Ev ery man among the Whigs feels that it is hie individual duty and privilege to add one to the tremendous majority with which all are confident that the cause will triumph. I do not exaggerate in the least. If you could have witnessed our Convention on the 22d, when 20,000 men—one•tenth of the entire population of the State—stood for bouts under a pelting rain and mud ancle deep, to testily their solemn determination that the prsent Administration shall be put down and the country shall be saved, you would , feel that it is impossible to ex aggerate. see the old General very frequently. He is well, vigorous and actite, and in the best possible Spirits. Here we all know him, and all honor him, for his magtutnuni ty, integrity and generosity. If I could find time 1 could relate many anecdotes—and short as my time is, I cannot forbear to re late one. 450,000 40 When, at the close of last election, we all supposed that Harrison was actually elected, I encountered the General one day in the Court House. He was talking with a political -opponent and I joined them. '• Well General," said the individual an question, then and now a very prominent man in bis.party, .4f Well General, Labould not be surprised -if you should carry Now York. That would be a triumph worth ;something. It would gratify you ...much ' more than your success in Pennsylvania." " Yes, sir," said the General, "as New York gives forty-two votes while Pennsyl vania gives but thirty, I should prefer her vote•" " But," replied the Van Burenite " that was not what I meant. If the votes of the two States were equal, it would grat ify you most to obtain that of New York, to beat Van Buren at home." "No sir," said General Harrison, " you mistake me. If the votes of the two States were equal, and I could 'have but one, let me have that -of Pennsylvania. I desire to be elected President of the United States. Ido not desire to mortify Mr. Van Buren." This simple magnanimity—this consideration for the feelings even of an adversary, is a striking trait in Iris character., and to mea very noble one. Yours, truly, tic. 3 ( 577,1126 00 178,1487 30 1,015,887 00 $39,5g6,364 10 Z10;474 65 TES RELATIONS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERlCA.—Remarks m the English newspapers received by the British Queen, intimate a strong feeling of distrust io a long continuance of the amicable relations existing between England and the United States. The North Eastern 'boundary question furnishes a fruitful theme, while the proposed blockade of the Chinese ports is brought in collaterally. Among the paragraphs not particularly pacific to their character, we fend the following, from a Liverpool " We see enough in this dispute, to be lieve that circumstances may arise to place this question of peace or war beyond the power of any individual to control; and, therefore, the sooner effectual steps are taken to 'settle it, the better. The com missioner appointed by the British govern ment to survey the disputed territory. re turned from his mission two months ego, and as the question is one which admits of no delay, it is time, we think, that parlia ment and the country should know some thing of the result." The London Shipping Gazette, toi the subject of the China difficulties, remarks: " If the course we pursue in the dispute with China, be found to be injurious to American commerce, there are elements already at work of a character sufficiently 'uneatable to render them not over fastid ious or punctilious at finding out some real or imaginary line of distinction to be drawo between our proceedings and the French blockades in South America. We question therefore, if we are over and above secure against being involved in a quarrel with the United States, if we proceed to the blockade of the ports of the Celestial Empire without declaring war. At all e vents, It will be wise in ministers to act with circumspection, and weigh well the probable consequences, before they are so far committed that they cannot 'retreat without a sacrifice of principle." On this side of the water, the provincial ists do not seem altogether so "wolfish." A Halifax paper of the inst., speaking of the boundary question, says: 1;00`0,000 'OO 595,658 Iv 1,000,000 00 " The boundary question, that prolific source. of discord -for the ss ti thirty years, has aow become a subject of such engross ing consequenceit that unless measures be adopted for settling the question, more co. crave measures must be resorted to. The editor of the Quebec Gazette states it as his beliefohat England would rather re , linquish a portion of her rights than to pro ceed to hostilities, and from all we can learn of the value of the disputed territory, apart from other considerations, we think this would be the more judicious course, as a war with the United States, let it term. nate as it would, could not but be attended with the most disastrous consequences. A report has gone forth, that Great Britain has determined upon maintaining her rights and refusing to yield up any portion of the bone in contention; this, however, we be lieve to be unfounded." From the Philadelphia Evening Star THE LOCAL ELECTIONS The result of the Ward and Township electrons in the city and County of Phila delphia, on Friday last. evinced a most wholesome state of public feeling on the subject of the Presidency. The great in crease of the Harrison Democratic vote in the Districts of Southwark, Moyamensing, Northern Liberties, Spring Garden, Ken sington and Germantown. prove conclusive ly that the old hero has effectually revolu tionised the county. Charles Naylor has been triumphantly sustained and the Tory Ingersoll as emphatically rebuked. Col. John Thompson, who leads the Van Buren electorial ticket of the State, received but twelve votes for Alderman of the third Ward, Southwark, after a laborious can vass of about six weeks. We wish our friends of the interior to note this tact and communicate it to the People. What ren ders it mare important es an evidence of the rapidly declining fortunes of Van Bu. renism 111 Philapelphia county. is, that the Ward in which he was a candidate gave MOM than 250 majority last October for the Locofoco ticket I Now the same ward has elected two Harrison Inspectors We assure our Harrison friends through. out the Union, that the Presidential elec tion on the 30th of October next, will ex hibit a gain in Philadelphia which will surprise all parties. We cannot be mista ken in what we see daily around and about us. These things are not uttered for ef fect, and are said in sincerity. NEw Youi.—Some weeks ago a meet ing of the Whig members of the Legisla ture of New York was had, Fat the purpose of responding to the nominations of HAR RISON and TYLER, at which several spirited addresses were delivered. From the speech of Mr. Stater a member of the House from Monroe county, we make the following extract for the purpose of show ing up the way id which the party do things in New York:— Mr. Chatrunan—lt was a remark of the father of his country, that there was an "in dissoluble anion between a magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public proe perity and felicity." But sir, we have low plotting selfishness when we ought to have magnanimity, and the humiliating spectacle before our eyes of a President of the United States, courting the leveller, and actually buying support where it was not to be had for fawning and flattery. When Martin Van Buren was a candi date for Governor_orthis State there was a printing establishment in the county where I reside {Monroe,} which, it was found, could be subsidized for twelve hundred dol lars. A few of the faithful made a note for the amount; Martin Van Buren ENDOR SED IT, AND CAUSED IT TO BE DISCOUNTED AT A MONIED COR PORATION IN THIS CITY FOR FIF TEEN MONTHS, when no others could get paper discounted by the same corPora non which bad half that period to run I The orthodoxy of trading on borrowed capital had not been denied.—The money was paid to the old Federalist who owned the establishment, and the paper went over, body and soul, to the support of Van Bu ren. He has since appointed one of the signers of this note, Collector of the port of Genessee, and another of them Postmen. tar of the city of Rochester. Having succeeded in obtaining his elec tion, by this "fair business transaction," he came out in his message a few days af ter, (like the culprit who breaks out of his cell and cries • stop thief,' to conceal his identity,) and expressed a hope that some measures might be adopted to prevent the distribution of money previous to the elec. lions, as he thought it had a tendency to corrupt the people in their " primary as semblies." It is necessary, Mr. Chairman, to state these facts in relation to our " fa vorite son," to prevent him from passing himself off upon distant States, like a coun terfeit bill, for more than he is worth. In the year 1814 the Editor of th Rich. mond Enquirer spoke of General HARRISON in the following language, and it is by no means the strongest testimony that he has borne to the character of the gallant veteran. This however, will do very well as fur as it U lane Secretary of war holds, not only the most tmportant,but theanost difficult sta tion in the Government. It requires a rare combination of talent,. He must be an expe rienced man; indefatigable. brilliant, and prompt in his convictions, decisive in the execution of his orders. The one whom 1 have named (Gen. Ihitarsorr) comes as near to this character as any I can think of." TUX OPINIONS OF run FARMING INTBs• ser.—At a very large meeting of the friends of Harrison and Tyler, held in Jefferson County, Ohio, on the Bth inst., the following is published in a series of resolutions adopted• It refers of course to the effect ofepecie cur• rency, sub.treasury bill, and its authors and actors. Resolved. That any senator of the UM ted States, congressman, or other man, who would attempt to bring down the wages of labor to 12 cents a day, and a btishel of w heat to 16 cents ought to be elevated as high as Hama And in tie same tam?. GEN. HARRISON IN VIRGINIA.—FIom Virginia, the accounts are' highly gratify ing. The Wheeling Times says, "There is not a tree or stone which-does not own to the Harrison cause. We have Harrison men in thousands. The womeh mime their children Harrison, Tippecanoe, North Bend, any thing that smacks of Gen. Har rison. We know a drayman who names one of his horses "Tip," and another "Ty ler," and he says, as he snaps his whip, go it " Tip," come it " Tyler." Harrison and Tyler are every where.—They are seen in the beams of the western sun, their names are borne on every breeze. " Huzza for Harrison," cry the boys as their sleds glide down the streets. " Huzza for Harrison," cry the boys as they go home from school. There are meetings of the Harrison mon in every town.—Look around. First Wheel ing had a meeting—the largest we have ever aeon here. Next Sistoraville, next Triadelphia, nest St. Clairsville, next Alex andria, then West Liberty. Next Satur day one at Claysville, and next week one in Brooke. The whole people, in this region, seem to be struggling to hold themselves back. They wish to vote now. The ma jorities given to Gen. Harrison in the West, in 1938, were tremendous—never before equalled ; but they will be greater in 1840 by at least one half." "LOOK AT THIS LIKENESS, THEN AT THIS, AND THIS"-CORREOT DELIN- EATIONS. Likeness of &Am, the editor of the Globe, as drawn by the Hon. F. W. Pick ens. "A galvanised corpse." •' That hideous visage, whereon envy and maligni ty are blended in cadavorous union." Likeness of the present Administration, by the same artist. " The Rooks, together with OBSCENE BIRDS have perched themselves in the high places of the land, and we sit here beneath, surrounded daily with their filth and cor ruption." " The gentleman," (alluding to Cambre ling) said Mr. Pickens, "has said this na tion had been converted into a great gam bling house. lie asked who had brought it to that condition ? The party now in power —a viler, a more degraded, a more corrupt set of wietches never lived." Likeness of John C. Calhoun, as drawn by Francis P. Blair, Globe editor. c• There was however, ONZ REPROBATE SPIRIT that could not bear to look upon the bright and auwicious day, (tho day of Van Buren's inauguration.) and it was a pleasure to all that the face Of CATALINA' Was not seen on the occasion !" These are rather COARSE likenesses, but they 'are nevertheless true and striking ones. When the members of the Admin istration party paint the political portraits of each other, they execute the work to the very life? CHANGES.---A gentleman travelling through the interior of Pennsylvania, stop. peel at a tavern, where says the Richmond Whig, a Van Buren Man and a Whig were engaged in a political disputation. in the course of conversation the Whig re marked to the Vanite that he well knew that fifteen or twenty of his neighbors had abandoned the administration and now ral lied under the Harrison flag. Yes, respon ded the Vanite, there is no doubt of that and 1 have a strong mind to go along with them. A friend from Ohio says "Old Tip is going it here with a perfect rush. The People are going over to him from the Kin derhook Magician, not by ones, or by twos, or dozens, but by Townships." A leading Von Buren member of the Illinois Senate, says the Louisville Journal, was in this city on Saturday and openly asserted that "Illinois will most unquestionably go for Gen. Harrison." We learn also from the same paper that an old gentleman near Pittsburg, who had belonged to the Jackson and Van Buren part), from 1820 down to the present time; and who still belongs to it, writes that Pennsylvania is most certain ly lost to the Administration. The excite ment says he, is tremendous throughout the Keystone State--he never before saw the like of it, even upon the eve of an elec tion. The Journal also says: "It is a remarkable fact, that fifteen of the Delegates from a single county, who attended the Columbus Convention of 20,- 000 were leading members of the Van Bu ren Convention that met at Columbus on the Bth of January last! I I When before did the wheels of Revolution ever roll with such an impetus?" Soum Castor.trvs.—lt is curious and in structive to observe, how South Carolina, but a few years ago, the mast admired State in the Union, has faded in the public estimation. Nobody thinks of her, talks of her, knows any thing of her I Her preten. lions to lofty principles are set down as Sounding brass and a tinkling Cymbal," and her emetic "Chivalry" as humbug and gasconade. Never did national character suffer such total and sudden eclipse, as her's has done under the new coalition of Van Buren, Benton, Calhoun and Co., and from her apparent ratification of it. Nobody mks now, what S. Carolina is doing ? How is the Sparta, the game cock, of the Con. federacy going to vote? All take it for granted that she will vote according to compact, and all interest about her, is abso lutely lost and forgotten. There never was a more humiliating chapter in human records, than that which relates the coali tion of Benton, Blair, Van Buren, Calhoun do Co.--Rich. Whig. Ti has been a standing theme of merriment with the Loco•focoa, that the party opposed to the men in power is multifarious in its 'names. A great many poor jokes have been cracked on the subject. Our party sorno• times, say they, are called W hig, sometimes Democratic Whig, and sometimes some• thing else. The Providence Journal pro poses even another. The J{►urnal says that a project is maturing for giving the Whig party_ a new name on the 4th of March suit. It is then to be called the Adminie r 'WM% part!--/Yre York Varette. /11111 Lee CAEI CANDIDATE. -The Fed mallets are gelling siek of their" Log cab- I n " arid "Hard Cider" flings at Gen. Har rison.

The office holders thought they broke the old soldier down by letting the People know that he was Clerk of a County Court and lived in a "Log Cabin," but they mistook the temper and feelings of the American People. 11 Gon. Harrison had been like Van Buren, he might have been as rich as Van Buren— dining from gold and silver plate, drinking exquisite old wines instead of "hard cider," riding as Van Buren does in a superb Coach with liveried out riders.

We trust, therefore, that the Administration prints will promptly admit that one great object of the Sub-Treasury, is to cut down the wages of the labouring and mechanical classes.

BORE BLESSINGS OP LOCONOCOISINI The lower House of our Legislature have just passed a law to borrow ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS to pay the interest of the State debt and the repairs of the public works! This is the third or fourth loan bill passed this session. When will the State debt atop! Never, never! under the administration of the Loco Focos. And hear it, oh! ye monster-hating democrats! the money is to be taken from the BANK OF THE UNI— TED STATES!!! Who is bought now How many of your party are there who are not hypo crites"' Shame upon such false demagogues!— Nothing will save us but the conqueror of Proc tor—Old Tippecanoe. Our debt will be one hun dred soillitms of dollar, in ten year., if the Van Boren party rule. Why do sot our hard-money Governor and Le gislature produce gold and silvert They have promised it as soon u they had a majority.— They now have the Governor, Renate and House of Representative■. Why do they not put down the Ilanka destroy the ..Monster," and create gold and silver! Will the people inquire into it? PENNSTLVAN/A BANKRIIPT. Mr. M'Elwee stated on the door of the Moose of Representatives, during the discussion on the bill providing for a loan of a million of dollars, that TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OF WARRANTS WERE LYING AT THE TREASURY WHICH THE STATE WAS UNABLE TO MEET! What a deplorable state of affair's! Will the people of Pennsylvania lon ger suffer the credit of their State to be thus tar nished and abused by the misrule of such misers blep ofitical demagogues? We trust not—but will hurl from power the present corrupt and profligate spoilers and rulers, who are intent upon bringing ..ruin and disaster" upon the common wealth; and place in their stead meu: who have the interests of the State and the prosperity end welfare of 'the whole people at heart. While the "rule and ruin" party hold the reins of govern ment in this State, the people may expect to feel the effects and endure the burden of their oppres sive acts, with all the concomitant evils of profliga cy and mismanagement that characterize the reck less partizans who administer its affairs. Taxa tion is now inevitable—heavy, burdensome taxa tion—which will grind and reduce the poor man to the moat abject poverty—which will compel him to pay aims even on the necessary articles of his household, es well as on other articles equally indispensable. The people, of Penney'. vania. if we mistake not, never have been so pro verbial for their love of taxation as to submit qui etly to such an oppressive mode of collecting fonds for the payment of a horde of office holders, who are continually battening on the public treasure.

SIR: The Loco Focoa of Huntington township succeed in carrying their whole ticket, except one assistant assessor, by • majority of twenty votes; owing in part to the negligence of Harrison'. friends, and to others of them who attended the election suffering themselves to be persuaded to vote a mixed ticket, add to this the Whigs nomi nated ne candidate for Constables, but many of them voted for the one that is elected. This cir cumstance was taken advantage of to defeat their Ticket The Loco Foco candidate taking an ac tive part in it, will no doubt find his generosity resraneal for it. lam sorry that the Harrison re solutions adopted in the Petersburg Academy were not es well understood at Wititestown in Hun tington township, as they were in Hampton, Reading township, and many other places. But, thank God, the day is not far distant, when the friends of Harrison in Huntington, stimulated by the lessen they have learned, will march in one sabot column to the polls under his broad banner, and retrieve the character which they have lost by the unprecedented vigilance of their opponents.

Haaarsauna, March 23d, 1840 A DININTRREBIIID LZGOILATOR.-At a recent Whig meeting at the Lafayette la. ICourt House, several fine speeches were made. One of them the Lafayette Free Press says : Mr. John McCormic arose and related in a few words, an incident in the career of William Henry Harrison while a Delegate from the North Western Territory to Con gress. He said the election of Harrison as a Delegate had been opposed by mat,y per sons who had settled upon the lands of his father-in-law, John C. Symmes but were un able to pay for them, and wished the as sistance of Congress, in which they were opposed by Symmes, who at that time own ed a large tract of land extending from the Great to the Little Miami. Contrary to the expectations of these men, however, Harrison generously sacrificed his own in tarests connected as they were with his father-in-law's) and advocated and procured for these very men the indulgence they re quired ; and he likewise, by indefatigable exertion, procured the passage of a law for selling the public lands in tracts of 160 acres instead of 4,000 acres as it had been before, although in direct opposition to his own pecuniary interests ; and thus he acted in all the public trusts confided to him ; al ways preferring the "greatest good of greatest number," to his own aggrandise ment. From the United States Gazette RIDING INTO POWER. It is truly laughable to see the Van Bu ren party trying to escape from Van Bu ren; anxious to elect their man, but most anxious to avoid any acknowledgment of him, or hie principles; seeking to smuggle Mr. Van Buren into office under General Jackson's popularity, or the merits of the last war; just as Mr. Post Master General Kendall tried to send the mail under the Jock and key of a long black trunk.. Smug gling is all the go. The Van Buren party at Harrisburg are making themselves a laughing stock, by inviting poor old Gene. sal Jackson to come to Harrisburg as the "State Guest," as if Harrisburg was any particular point of attraction, when the Le gislature is not in session, or indeed when it is. General Jackson is to be dragged in. to the capitol of this State, and through the Commonwealth, to make up a little false capital for Mr. Van Buren. It is necessary to refresh the memory of the people with the Hero of New Orleans, so as to awaken ' , the impression of the Hero of Tippecanoe and the Thames, the conquer of Proctor, etc , and all to regain the patrimony of votes which Mr. Van Buren inherited from General Jackson, but which Is lost by the incapacity of the heir. The Globe, despairing of an attempt to rally the people upon Mr. Van Buren, has fallen back upon the last oar, more than twenty-five years ago, and is erecting bat teries, and defending its party with the merit and patriotism of those who carried on that contest. This is very well—very well indeed. Mr. Madison, Mr. Monroe, and Mr. John Quincy Adame,did what they could to deserve the commendations be stowed so largely by the Globe. But Mr. Van Buren--what has he to do with all that? what right has he to the harvest , of, their toil? As well might Arnold claim to be a member of the Cincinnati Society, or his children ask for a pension from the American Government. Mr. Van Buren was the strong adversary, the active man, opposed to Mr. Madison's re-election; and aided and abetted the Hartford Convention people in their opposition to Mr. Madison. Would it nut be well for the Globe to tell all this—or does it wish to deceive the pub lic? A New York paper gives the following as a resolution offered by Mr. Van Buren, in Hudson, Coluar.bia, during thl last war: Resolved, That the war is IMPOLITIC AND DISASTROUS, and to employ the militia in au offensive war is unconstitutional. The President's Message boiled down and translated into plain English.—Fel• low Citizens: You are all crazy. The cred it system has made you mad. In Europe, laborers get but six-pence a day. You get 81,50 for a day's toil. That is entirely too much. You are becoming too extravagant. It will not do. The Sub-Treasury bill must be passed. In twenty two out of the twen ty-seven of the enlightened free and happy Despotisms of Europe, such as Prussia, Austria, Spain and Turkey, where kings wear crowns and their people rags—the Sub-Treasury system is all the rage. lam determined to follow their "illustrious" ex ample. I'll pass the Sub-Treasury Bill, and thereby bring your wages down to twenty.five cents a day, so that you may fairly compete with the serfs of Russia and the slaves of John C. Calhoun, my late most bitter enemy, but now my dearly be loved friend and cousin." --M.s.» A HOl7Bl AND Six CHILDREN BEIRNT..•••• The New York Gazette says : Oa Satyr. day about one o'clock, the house of Mr. John Astin, in the town of Yonkers, in Westchester county, about one mile from the village of that name, was burned down, and six of his children perished in it by the flames. Mr. Astin, with his wife with an infant and some of the older children, three daughters and a son, who lodged on the lower floor, escaped—the children lodged on the upper floor. It was an 'old wooden house, one and a half stories high. The fire appears to have originated by accident, after the family had all retired. Five of those that perished were between the ages of five and twelve years, and one was a young man grown, who, it would seem, lost his life in attempting to rescue the children in the chamber. The four that escaped, besides the parents with the infant, were also children,—the family consisting of fourteen, children . in all, three of whom were not residing at home. We have these particulars from a gentleman residing in this city, who during yesterday, received hie information direet from Yonkers. It is one of the mdst painful occurrences which far a long tune bar fallen to our lot to record.
