YOWlfi r Men of the United States, YOUR DEMOCRATIC HARRISON BRETH REN OF BALTIMORE SEND YOU THIS ADDRESS—GREETING : We have been appointed a Committee from six !ilmar of our fellow citizens, to invite you to send Delegates to the Conven tion to assemble in this place on the FOURTH DAY OF MAY NRXT,—and we do, therefore, most cordially bidding you welcome, stren uously urge this duty on your attentidn, and claim your best efforts to secure the election of HARRISON - AND TYLER. Addressing ourselves to mon who have felt as well as argued, and whose minds aro informed of the daily political history of our country by an untiring and most zealous press,—we deem it needless on the present occasion to enter into a long or de tailed examination of the measures of our opponents, but letting It suffice to judge of our RULERS by tho results of their schemes, wo ask them what they have to hope from the inspection, and you—why you should commence cr continue your po litical career by extending thorn your favor or your votes. We ask the Youtto MecuaNte to re member tho scenes around his boyhood's hearth in better times, and under other au spices, when the toil of his industrious pa rent was repaid, and promptly too, by hon est employers ;—we ask him to remember his well spread board; and the hopes with which his young mind looked forward to the life of an artizan as ono of industry, intelligence, comfort and wealth,—and, then, to contrast these scenes and expecta tions with his deserted workshop, his un blotted order book, his idle journeymen, his undulled tools, his government reducing the wages of laborers, his empty purse, his ill-fed family, the difficulty with which he secures oven the most transient employ ment, and the yet greater difficulty with which he procures payment even from the wealthy. We ask the YOUNG EMIGRANT from GERMANY Or IRELAND, to remember the period when embarking from Europe, his strength and his children his only capital, he road over the glowing descriptions of our country—its mineral resources, its kindly soil,'its lenient and equal laws, its liberty, and the certainty that sober industry had over promise of employment on the rail roads and canals, those arteries through which was to flow our nation's wealth, the 'product of the soil :—We ask him to re member his hope of becoming respectable and rich in the FAR WEST, whither he pro posed retiring with his earnings on the public works of Maryland, Virginia, Penn sylvania and NOW York;-and, then, to contrast these pictures and promises with schemes of internal improvement abandon ed, his countrymen and fellow emigrants unemployed, his children unprovided for, himself a hopeless idler, often supported, when pride permits or starvation forces, by the charity of strangers ! • We ask the Youive FAnarert to remem ber the returns which every " Harvest Home" brought to his father's coffers, the wealth of their humble but contented cot tages, the expectations which cheered him to labor by his father's side at the plough or in the woodland, hoping like him one day to become a tiller of the soil, and, like him, to be at ease with his family around him, under a free and prosperous govern rnent ; and, then, to contrast these antici pations with his now idle or profitless acres, the uncertainty of sales and income, the defalcations of agent * temptations of idleness leading him' is dull and tiii! provided home, where there is no hope in labor, no prospect of accumulation for corn fort and repose in age. We ask the YOUNG MERCHANT AND MANUFACTURER to remember the tide of prosperity that flowed so nourishingly a round him but a' few years ago, contribu ting to his education and his pleasures ; to remember his father's successful com merce whitening with its canvass the waves of every sea, enabling him to give constant employment to the weather-beaten sailor, to raise up poor but worthy young men in the skill at sea-crab, to make the ship wright busy in his interests, to purchase the labor of the mechanic, tote the patron of litera ture and the arts, to acquire at the highest prices tho staple products of the soil, and to pay ror them when due;—we ask him to remember thetacility with which he made his remittances from Maine to Louisiana in perfect security and at trifling cost, the lei sure that was afforded him to enjoy society and the blessings which Gnd showered over the land,—and, turning from the past to the present, let him contrast these with the realized scenes of his maturer years, under the blight and mildew of VAN BIIECENIBitt. Contemplating the condition of his country more at a glance than any other of his fel low•citiaens, because in him centre, more than in them, the results of the farmers' - - and meehanics' labor, let him behold sailors without employ,—mechanics sent from him without work,—day laborers idle,—silent ship yards, untenanted warehouses and dwellings, stagnant trade, deranged exchan ges ! We ask him where aro the returns of last year's sales, or of the year before? what discounts he has paid on foreign paper in which ho has received his remittances? what costs? what fees he has expended in his attempts to collect outstanding debts? We ask him to remember the mode in which he is now forced to raise funds to maet his engagements at Bank, the usuri- ous means by which he sustains his mercan tile reputation, in the hope to weather the commercial - storm which is desolating the land!, Wu ask him where are his pleasures now; his peace—his leisure—his hopel— Trade decaying around him; days of phy sical effort and mental anxiety spent in pro viding for responsibilities, nights of care passed' in thinking of the engagements of to=morrow,--day by day, his domestic lux uries or comforts passing from his home to the pawn-broker or the auctioneer,!--no time for fire-side intercourse, for rending, for en joyment, for love of wife or children, for sleep, for food, for prayer! A whole exis tence concentrated in the endeavor not to starve—scarcely without a hope or a wish to live! Those are no over-drawn pictures,Yourto Itlen Or AtannicA! Every rank attests their correctness, and in asking you to lay these domestic truths to your hearts, we bog you to recollect that this state of things has but recently occurred,that it has grown up, as it ICC*C, "in a night," under the Ischemes of the present Administration; THAT IT IS THE RESULT OF VAN HURENISM. Are we wrong in so charging? Has not the athniaistration had entire and uncontrol. table sway? Were we not prosperous and happy before its existence? Has it not in terfered with Commerce, Finance, Internal Improvements? Has it not said, "Nunn CREDIT—PERISH COMMERCE?" Has it not declared that the "Sun TREASURY SCHEME WAS AND SHOULD BE IN FORCE IN THE LAND?" Have not its measures been SER VILELY enforced? Has not a rebelling Senate or a refractory Congress been dra gooned into acquiesence, the one by "IN ernuorions," the other by VETOES? Has it not appealed, cringing, and falsely to the people, proclaiming its . quack nostrums the life elixir of DEMOCRACY, and, admin istering a drug instead of a cordial, assumed actual and despotic control of the Purse and tho Sword, whilst the people slept under its morbid influence? Has it not squander ed millions on a successloss war for election eering purposes, and is not that war contin. ued for the same ends? Is not the Treasury empty and the credit of the Government at a discount? Have they not tried to excite the poor man against the rich, as if the rich man's luxury was not the poor man's wealth? Are not State Securities in Eu rope sacrificed to pay existing debts, with- . out the hope of continuing the works they were created to complete 7 FRIENDS OF LAW AND ORDER, we ask no revenge for these manifold iniquities.-- Notwithstanding the whole actual power of Government has been concentrated in the cabinet at Washington, and Congress made, in fact, the mere ministerial agent of its decrees, we ask no violence to unmask these despots disguised in the garments of democ racy I Seekers of true domestic pence and liberty, without which public liberty is valueless, we implore your patient energy ; we ask your voices an d your efforts uncea singly with yea' fathers, your friends, your neighbours! Let the revolution be firm, but peaceful I In you, young men, of America, rest the germs of future national strength and great ness.—Many aro, as yet unpledged to a political course, and it becomes you to be wary in your selection—Choose falsely, and hereafter you will have pride of opinion and mistaken consistency to preserve, whilst half your lives will be heartlessly spent in " defining your position." From your ranks are to come the future rulers of the land, , making you the guardians in the west ern world, of true Democratic Liberty. In your candidate, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, you have everything that could be desired ; true constitutional prin ciples, firmness, honor, learning, wisdom, experience. HE HAS SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH HIS AXE—THE SWORD—THE PEN. He is brother of the woodsman,—shoulder to shoulder he has stood with the Buckeye Rifleman and the Kentucky Ranger,—and side by side he has eat in council with your most approved and most eloquent States men. Thus practically educated and made eminent by the people's favor, he has ris en from obscurity to greatness, on the wings of his own genius, not on the borrowed plumes of a dying pheenix. He comes to you, A NEW MAN AT THE SEAT OF GOVERN MENT, AS YOU ARE NEW IN LIFE, and we have the earnest, In his skill, his judgment,, his experience, his honor, his bravery, his virtue, of the restoration of our country to prosperity and greatness. Aptly joined with him in this work of redemption, we find JOHN TYLER, the favoured son of Virginia,—great among her great men—with a judgment ripened by years of study and political experience, and with dignity to preside in a Senate, which, under your auspices, we hope again to see hailed as the "most able body of Statesmen in the world." Thus blows the wind fair from every quarter! Como to us with your tens, your hundreds, aye, your thousands'—ample room have wo for you in our hearts and homes—the warmest welcome, public and privato, of Baltimoreans, awaits you at the CONVENTION, to swell the voice of public , opinion in fhvor of Henarsort and TYLER.

A NEW FEATURE IN TIM BANKING STe TEM—Tho Van Buren Legislatures no having fully developed all the features o which the system is susceptible, in the in troduction of the wild cat banks of Michi gen or the irredeemable institutions of Mississippi, have still more improved upon it in Alabama. They have conferred bank ihg privileges upon the Penitentiary about to bo erected in that State. We suppose the next thing we shall hour is, that it is a Whig measure.—North American. FlaunEs WON'T LIE.—A farmer in the country owed last year 8200, which he could have discharged with 178 bushels of wheat—this year it takes .500, difference 822 bushels. Last year he could have paid, the same debt with 400 bushels of oats— this year it tukos 1400—difference 1000- 267 bushels of corn would have paid this debt last year, this it will take 909; differ ence 642. There is no humbuggery in this, though the locos tell the people there is.—Ohio Times. RESUMPTION 'BILL.

It appears by the following letter, published in the Austin Gazette, that Colonel Crockett did not perish at the storming of that fortress, but still survives, and is now a captive, laboring in a Mexican mine:— CODIAIIOO, TA)CAtiIaPAS, Feb. Gth, 1840 To the Editor of tho Austin City Gazette: Sir: I was, formerly, a citizen of the United Slates, and have been living in Mexico for seventeen years. My business in this country is such, and hinibeen, as to require me to travel much from place to place. I was, not long since, at n mining district in Mexico, in the neighborhood of Guadelejera; and while there, a Mexican came to me, and said that there was a man frOm Texas, working in Salinas' mine, who had requested him to ask the first Ameri. can he saw, to come and see him, as he wished to send some word to a family he had left in the State of Tennessee. To en. ter a mine in Mexico you have to obtain permission from the worker or owner, and he sends with you the overseer, who is or. dared to keep strict watch that you take out of the mines no ores or valuables. I went to the owner, and obtaining per. mission, went with the overseer, and was taken to that possum) of the mine where the convicts are placed to work. There were some 20 or 25 at work, and amongst them I recognized the manly form of one of my countrymen, Who, the owner had told me, was one of the prisoners brought on by a part of Filisola's division, when ho retreated from Texas. The American upon seeing me, stepped forward and grasping me by the hand, said, "Well, stranger, you are the first American I have seen in this damned country; and 1 don't think I would have seen you, if 1 had not made a friend of one of these devils that oversee the mine." "My unfoitunate friend," 1 replied, "I have been made aware of the circumstances that placed you here, and they are such as to debar me from rendering you any assis tance more than bearing for you any mes sage you may wish." "I know that," he returned, "so let us go about it: my name is David Crockett—l am from Tennessee, and have a family there--they think that am dead, and so does every ono else; but they are mistaken. I should have written to them, as the overseer told me I might write,if I could get any body to take a letter for me; that was the reason I persuaded the overseer to look out for an American for me; and thanks be to God, I have got one at last." He related to me the particulars of his having been taken at Fort Alamo, in Bea• ar, and sent, together with two other men, to Loredu; from which place they had been removed, with a part of the army that mo• ved to Monterrey—and when the troops marched from Monterry to Mexico, they were sent to Guadelejara, and placed in the mine by the Alcalde, at which place they had been ever since. He wrote, by me, a letter, to be sent to his wife and children in Tennessee, which 1 sent from Matamoros, with directions to mail it in New Orleans, retaining in my possession a copy thereof, for fear, by some mischance, it should miscarry. To Lieut. Col. D. L. Wood, with whom I met in Lo redo, I gave another copy, which he prom ised to publish; but I have since hard he did not get in safe, which is the reason I write you this by a Mexican, going from here to Bastrop and Austin. I have direc• ted him to give it to any American he saw n either place, who would know where to send it. In great haste, I am, Your humble servant, WM. C. WHITE. MARTIN VAN BUREN voted in the New York State Convention for altering the Constitution, to give NEGROES the right to vote at elections if they owned property! He also voted against giving WHITE MEN the right to vote unless they owned a certain amount of taxable property.—(See Journal of Proceedings page 209.) Poor men what think ye of this? Ye hvers of the sable eons ofAfrica, how like ye it? Is there nothing in raising up the blacks—the NEGROES—to a level with yourselves, at which ye revolt? Is there nothing in the idea of contending with a black at tho polls, which arbuses your in dignation? And, poor man, how like you to be cgst down below the rich nogrol— 'What ‘eirty you to disfranchising yourself find giving the Negro the right to choose your ruleri-1 And aro ye so joined to 'the party' that you can overlook these things -can you sustain a man who would have carried them into effect?

Wad dy Thompson, of South Carolina, in, the House Representatives, when the motion for referring the Suh-Treasury Bill, was under discussion last week. "When the troops called out to do Outy in the Cherokee country were to bo paid oft this hard money Government of ours, which would receive nothing but gold end silver, or the notes of the Government, of. bored to these men. not Treasury notes, not specie, not even bills of respectable non specie-paying banks of Georgia, but bills of the Ockmulgee Bank of Georgia, which were then from three to four per cent. be low the par of non-specie-paying bank notes of Georgia. Thu men refused to take them. They staid a day or two, but, being mix 10U8 to get home, and having been long employed in a painful duty, they could not stand out, and they at last consented to take Ockmulgee bank notes. Two or three days after they had been thus paid, there was en accumulation of bacon and corn stowed away by the Government—more than was wanted. This had to be sold. Now,roark. The soldiers were paid in this paper; and when these very soldiers c:ime to buy these, provisions, the Government could touch nothing but gold and silver or Treasury notes. No; they would not then contami nate their hands by touching non-specie paying bank trash; yet there was no harm in polluting their hands by paying it out to soldiers who had served in the field. What was tho consequence? The corn that had been purchased for a dollar sold for twenty cents; the bacon which had been bought. for twenty to twenty•five cents. It wee bought up by speculators, and then sold again at an enormous profit to those men who had served their country. These things, I repeat, have never been contra dieted. I have printed them—they have been dissemminated throughout the State of Georgia. ?.state them upon the author.' ity of Mr. Word, formerly a member of Congress—n gentleman well remembered and highly respected in this House—whose brother was an officer in that campaign. One would think this was revolting enough; but only half the tale has been told. With in a month afterwards, a surplus of provis ion and corn had been sold in Tennessee, whore it had been placed on deposite, and for that they did receive Tennessee bank paper, which was below the par of Georgia bank paper: The Tennessee troops, as the chairman of the Military Committee (Mr. Cave Johnson) informed him this morning, were paid in Treasury notes—troops, too, employed in the very same service. Let gentlemen go on and pass their Sab-tien sury bill; but in the name of truth, of fair. ness, of decency, lot them speak of n mea sure of this kind as one that is calculated to diminish the patronage and power of this Government. A FALSEHOOD NAILED TO THE COUNTER It will be perceived by' the following letter from the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER to the editors of the Harrisburg Telegraph and Intclligoncor, that he possitively denies over having spoken disres pectfully and unjustly of Gen. W. H. Harm N but on the contrary, speaks in the most commen dable terms of his services as a Statesman and a Soldier : WASIIINGTON. March 28, 1840. To the Editors of the Telegraph 4- Intelligeneer. Sins.- 7 I have thin evening received your letter, calling my attention to a statement, which has been circulated in the newnpa pers,upon no authority whatever,that in 1835, on being proposed to me to be on the same ticket with Gen. Harrison, I refused, obser ving that he was the "pity of his friends, and the scorn and derision of his foes." Although it' would be in vain that a man in public life should set about contradicting, by his own direct authority, every nnony• mous statement, or declaration, to be found in party presses, yet this paragraph was circulated so widely, that I was induced to take notice of it, and to authorize a direct and positive contradiction of it, in the Na• tional Intelligoncer. For the benefit of such as may not have seen that denial, I hear repeat it, as I have done in one or two other lettere, which I presume, are or will be made public, in those parts of the country where the gentlemen reside to whom they were respectively written. The whole story is utterly false. Friendly re lations have existed between Gon. Harrison arid myself, for many years. Nothing has ever occurred to interrupt these relations. On my return from Europe, late in Decem ber, I heard of his nomination, by the Har risburg Convention, and I took the earliest opportunity to declare publicly that I ap proved tho nomination, and should join heartily with my fellow citizens in giving it support.—Gen. Harrison has long been before the country, in war and in peace. The history of his life shows him to be a brave soldier, a patriotic citizen, and an honest man. It is too late, quite too late, for detraction to do its office upon his rep utation, either military or civil. He has now been selected by the general voice of those whose political principles agree with his own, to go to the' head of the column, and to bear upend advance the flag, under which it is hoped those principles may be maintained and defended. I not only wish his nomination success, but intend also to do all that may become a good citizen to insure it. It may fail ; but if it should, I verily believe that failure will be ominous of a long train of political evils to the country. If sustained, on the part of those who have made it, by a devoted spirit of political duty and love of country, it may succeed, and if it. should succeed, I should regard that success, us the welcome harbinger of better times.

WAX WITH ENGLAND —Nothing would please the Federalists who have possession of the Government, so much as the talk of a probable war with England; and whyl— Why for two very good reasons, 1. they would have a plausible pretext for demand ing more money to squander. 2. The prospect of a war would train off public at tention from domestic grievances and the claims of Gen. Harrison. There is no doubt that with n view to these objects, the Government and its friends are trying to get up groat talk of war, and the Govern. ment Editors, and scribblers are endeavor ing all they can to promote that talk. But it is all humbug, we can most confidently assure the Country. There can be no war for any such object. They who will atten tively examine the last notes of Mr. Pox and Mr. Forsyth, will see in the proposition to submit the question again to arbitration, and in the almost necessary acceptance of that Proposition by England. a guarantee of peace for years to come. But, if there be war, will the nation choose tho cringing and unmanly occupant of the Presidential Chair, to conduct it? Let his followers make it the issue it they will. If there really was the prospect of a war with England, no party among the People of the United States would have the slightest confidence in the ability of Martin Van Buren to conduct it. There would be a unanimous call for a man. of sterner stuff and more Spartan soul. Ritchie, Blair, Roane & Co., may buz about war with England ns much as they please, to blow wind in the sails of the follower in the footsteps; but if there is a likelihood of war, the verdict will be well nigh unani mous, that Martin Van Buren is not the character to conduct it.—Richmond Whig. Two hundred bushels of Wheat were sold at Constable sale, in Washington county, two weeks since, for nine dollars.—Steu benville Herald. We have no doubt of the correctness of the above, from what has occurred in our own neighborhood. We are informed that at a forced - cash sale on Brady's 11111, soma ton days since, a lot of Oats was sold at four cents per bushel, and Hay at fifty cents per ton. Potatoes sold for six cents. indeed, in such eases pinintifis nro geliorally the only bidders, as cash purchasers cannot be found at any price. At such a time, all sl.ould forbear where it is possible. Bearer (Pa.) Argus, In England, every man is subjected to a fine,who is found walking on a rail road track. In this country to judge from the "rail road disasters" which are chronicled every day the penalty is death. It is estimated that upwards of seventy factories have cenaed operations in New England: and at least one fourth of the pap. ulation of the United States are gut of em. ployment. The Tippecanoe Clubs at Buffalo aro busily nt work with upwards of tory (crane, erecting a large " log cabin" in front of the Eagle Theatre in that city. AND REPITELICAN 13419.1\TNER. GETTYSBURG.

We have concluded ~ n ot to take the trouble" of giving his last production an insertion, inasmuch as he "re joices in the extreme felicity of informing us" that ho has perused his former opiece," with the "lines" accompanying it. The contrast between the former and present production would bo too great to be passed over by the Literary public unnoticed; we shall, therefore, protect his charac ter, as an author of the nineteenth century, by plucing tinder our table his last effort. We re commend S. Y. R. to some of our cotemporaries, during the political campaign; —they may have more time to spare than ourselves in correcting communications that they may appear in print. If ~ i i Subscriber" will furnish us with his name, his request shall be attended to. The subject on which ho writes is a good one, and deserves attention. The Hon. THADDEUS BETTS, Senator in Con gress from Connecticut, died in Washington on the morning of the 7th instant. CuAnLas Hsantortn, the veteran editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, died on the Sd inst. Wo published in our last an account of the scene which lately occurred upon the floor of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, be tween Mr. M'Elwee of Bedford, and Mr. Hegins of Northumberland. A select committee of which Mr. Penniman of Philadelphia, was chairman, was appointed to investigate the matter who re ported the facts as they occurred, that M'Elwee wont to tho seat of Mr. Hegins and spit in his face." They recommended no course for the House, but severely censured the conduct of M'Elwee. A motion was made by Mr. Fisher of the city, at the request of Mr. Penniman, chair man of the committee, that IWElweo 40 expelled.

From thn above it will ho perceived that the House has sustained its dignity and resented the insult offered to ono of its members, by expelling the cowardly offender. Tho punishment was richly merited and fearlessly inflicted: party feel ing having been disregarded to vindicate the sanctity of the House. It should be a matter of congratulation to the members that this mass of liquorized flesh—swollen and bloated—who has thus long disgraced the House with his vulgarisms and sottishness, has been removed in such a man ner, as to a man of feeling, would be disgraceful. He could not be disgraced—his constituents have been. It was indulgence in the House that has permitted them thus long to allow themselves to send such a Representative. It remains for the people of Bedford county to wipe away the stain which has attached itself to thorn, and vindicate their character by sending a roan to represent them—a sober man—one who can secure for him self and them respect and courtesy. We doubt not but that our friends will embrace the present, and redouble their exertions to send sped men and true to the next Legislature. Great Meeting in Franklin County. We had the pleasure of being present at the meeting of the Young Men of Franklin county, on Wednesday last in Chambersburg, and can say for them that they have really roused themselves from the lukewarm fueling which hoe pervaded our ranks in that county for some time past, (t 6 the benefit of the opposite party) and aro exhibi7 ting such evidences of their real strength as indi cate n large majority for the Hero of North Bond in October nest. Wednesday was a glorious day for Franklin! The yeomanry of tho county—the laborer, the mechanic were all there to express their grievances—as inscribed on their banners, ""our sufferings are intolerable." Hut an ordinary call was issued—the willing answer was more than ordinary, ea the scores of delegates amply testified. The' whole proceeediug was creditably gotten up', and passed off to the great gratification of our friends and the great benefit of the cause of Harrison and Tyler. NVo can give but a faint idoa of the reality by sketching their doings; but that our revilers may bo aware of the enthusiasm and zeal with which our friends havo entered the canvass elsewhere, We may say a word or two of our neighbors in Franklin. Their procession was led by a Loo CAnisr, neatly and compactly built, raised on wheels and drawn by eight gray horses, from whose . collars waived "Harrison and Tyler" flags. Tho cabin was hung about with trophies of the backwoods huntsman, hard cider was within, a full length portrait of Gen. William Henry Har rison was placed on the roof in front, and milita ry colors in the roar. Next to the cabin were two Bands of music, belonging to some of tho townships, which performed while the procession was moving and at times during the meeting;— the multitude 'followed to tho number of near as varr now iintn in ranks, and with nearly as ma ny more who were not in the procession—a num ber of mnrshals,mounted and appropriately equip ped, superintended their movements, The meet ing assembled in the centre square, was organized by appointing ri largo number of officers, and was addressed by Messrs. Donny and Washington, Esqn. who were frequently interrupted with loud cheers. Every motto which the times could dic tate, was stamped upon their numerous banners— Harrison poles vioing with the church spires and bearing tho glorious stars and stripes upon their tops wore erected—banners mot the eye of a pas ser-by, unfurled from many a window, door, or roof, and told that within all was right. This is but a partial outline of some of the transactions of that meeting, but it may suffice to show the feeling which must exist in Franklin. We would that many had been with us, to catch their ardor In the cause. The scene was most enlivening and gratifying to tho patriot. It omens well, and is indicative of the will and ability to give to our candidates' a large majority at the election. Such is the situation of things abroad; let our friends show that it is ours, by attending a similar county meeting on the 27th inst. All should be there who believe that the country cannot be in a more prosperous condition than it now is, without a change of rulers—all who desire not to be depri ved of their daily wages and put off with but six pence for their labor—who have marked the say ings and doings of the Van Buren party—who appreciate the worth of our candidates—their eminent services to the nation—who despise the party movements which have disregarded the con stitution and disfranchised freemen, and who would condemn by public sentiment the perpe linters of the foul deed—all who are opposed to Van Duren or Porter or any of their political sen timents, and who desire success to crown our efforts in the endeavor to rid the country of its opppressors—all such should—must leave the farm and the workshops—leave their orilinaiy occupation and come to the country's rescue— (BAnnoun. "A day! an hour of virtuous liberty, Ie worth a whole eternity of bondage." Gon. Harrison has been called the "Log Cab in candidate," the "Hard cider candidate," the "old dotard" "too poor," and divers other undies, to persuade men to oppose him; the effects of which have been to bring in hundreds to his sup port, who believe that honesty is the necessary qualification for office. Another epithet has lately been put forth, of a character similar to the former —THE GRAIN THRASHING HERO!! What say our industrious laboring men of the party who would attempt to stigmatize a candidate for office in a government where neither dukes, ba rons, knights, or lords aro to govern, but where all are free and equal—tho honest laborer having the some claims and perhaps greater on account of his private worth, as the veriest, soft-handed, smooth-faced nabob in the land. Let the verdict of each poor man be a vote for the GRAIN THRASHING HERO! The changes that wo hear of every where from the adherents of Van Buren end Porter to the support of Gen. Harrison, are proof as strong as holy writ, that there is something wrong in their Administrations—that if once they wore rulers of tho people, they are now rulers of a party—and that the sovereign people will not permit too groat an advance to bo made upon freemen's rights. When the constitution is so boldly set at naught est was done in the case of the rejection of the elected members from Jersey--when the confes sion is made and triumphantly boasted of in the Senate of the United States, by Buchanan him- self, that the object of the Van Buren party is to reduce the wages of the very bone and sinew of the community—our laborers and mochanica--to a more pittance, they who will study facts and apply their bearing, cannot but desert these boas ters, and support the poor man', friend. In Cumberland, Franklin, York and elsewhere the revolution of feeling is working mightily. THIS RESUMPTION BILL. The deed is done! The Governor has signed tho Resumption Bill and it is now a law of the commonwealth. The monster indeed has tri umphed, when David R. Porter, in the faco of his annual message—the head of tho anti bank and "mint-drop" partk—signed its pardon for past offences. Ho and big friends, (a majority in the Legislature) the originators and advocates of bills repealing the charters and terminating the exis tence of all the banks, have xsostman the sus pension of specie payments, and extended grace to the banks until the 15th of January, 1841, as wo informed our readers in our last. Here is the end of all the ranting talk of our wise Loco foco legislators during the session now closing—the answer to the prayers of the democracy for imme diate resumption! Can the people longer be led astray by .the empty professions of Loco focoisml Can they continuo to support a party who have hypocritically advocated the doctrines "down with the banks" and "strew salt upon their ruins," a ..hard money currency," "though ruin and dis tress should spread itself from the centre to the circumference of the commonwealth," and when compelled to act out their destructive notions, basely and publicly acknowledge that they have gulled the people, and not only will refuse 'le destroy the banks, but will sustain them in a vio- lation of tho law, in suspending specie payments —will justify them in closing their vaults—and will permit them to suspend yet another year, tbat they may prepare themselves to act legally and for the people's good. If a spirit of accommodation, concession, or compromise had been exhibited by the Browns,• WElweett, and their associates, at the commence ment of their legislation upon the.question, the sacrifice of this great hobby could not be so great to the party. If no bill bad been introduced to root out the banks—make their officers and stock holders fit for a place with felons and convicts in the penitentiaries of the commonwealth for the smallest act they might bo engaged in—for every issue they might make, or every note they would refuse to redeem in !mid money, in the midst of the distress and ruin wliich they have brought upon tho country hod not these things been done, or attempted iii earliest, our surprise could not be so great. such Ins been the fact, and we ask every man in the land, by the respect he has for the permanency of his property, the anxiety he fools for the support and protection of his family, and the hope he entertains of laying up for them a competency for tlio,future, to look far himself, and determine whether the party in whose hands the national and state governments are now held, are not holding out false and delusive colors to their adherents—whether here has not been additional undoubted proof of the grand experimenting sys tem upon which they have been practising for years past--whether the ohposition of David 11. Porter and the Loco foco party to the banks, has not turned out to be a humbug of the party of the true Bentonian order, which after being bandied about for the advancement of their designs, they have been compelled to abandon before the eyes of the whole people. Let the honest—the wavering —the almost-convinced members of the Van Ba ron party look seriously at the issue of the "war against the banks," and mark how that cry, like a Will o' the Wisp, has been leading them on in the full belief that they would act out their pro fessions, until in the height of the pursuit, when the "monsters" woro almost within their grasp, the delusion vanished, and they find themselves duped and deceived—involved in inconsistency so glaring that the most blinded cannot fail to see. If this be not sufficient to effect a radical change in their views, they would scarce be con vinced, "though one rose from the dead." The days of Loco focoism must surely be numbered. FROM HARRISBURG. The bill to lay a tax on personal property, came up for discussion in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, on Wednesday. The vote being taken on the first section It was negatived, yeas 39 ; nays 40. So the bill was lost. The Improvement Bill was then taken up, and the items—for completing the inclined plane at Columbia, $60,000 ; and for new locomotives on the Columbia and Portage Ithilroade, $30,000-- were agreed to. The bill supplementary to the common school law of 1836, which, among other provisions, re. quires the directors of each school district to ex amine teachers, and certify as to their qualifica tions for teaching certain branches, previous to their being employed, passed final reading in the House. A motion was made in the House of Rpresen tatives on Thursday, to reconsider the vote of expulsion on Tuesday, in the case of Mr. McEl wee. Several members denied the power of the House to reconsider the veto, and held that, as the member could not be reinstated, except by his late constituents, the motion' to that effect could not be entertained. The Speaker not hav ing nerve" to decide the question of order, re ferred it to the House ; which decided that it had a right to entertain such onotiou. The subject was then, however, postponed till Monday. POSTSCRIPT! IMPROVEMENT BILL LOST Since the above was in type, we' have under. stood that the Improvement Bill . came up on Saturday last, and the question being on transcri. bing for thire - reading, the yeas and nays wore called and resulted as follows :—Yeas 05.-- Nays 50. Consequently the Bill has been de feated. FIRE AT WARIIINGTON.-A fire broke out at two o'clock on Saturday morning last, in Wash. ington city, which consumed the printing came of the Madisonian with all the materials—the extensive stationery establishment of Langtree & O'Sullivan, contractors for furnishing station ery to Congress. The fire then extended to the Medical College—the two upper stories of which were completely destroyed. CONNECTICIIT.._It will be perceived, by the returns in another column, that ELLSWORTH, the Whig candidate for Governor, has been elected by a majority- of upwards of FOUR THOUS AND !11 Nineteen out of twenty-one Senators elected are Whig! More than two-thirds of the Representatives are Whig! Connecticut has heretofore been considered , t doubtful" by the Loco focos.—The recent election has very effec tually removed that doubt. STORM.--Wo understand that a very destruc- tive storm occurred in the vicinity of Petersburg, (Y. t 3.) on Sunday last. The hail fell to the depth of from 3 to 5 inches; and houses, church es, barns, stables, &c. wore more or loss injured. The Hagerstown Torch Light relates the fol- lowing amusing incident, which occurred at-the office holder's meeting held in that place on the 4th inst : One of the Marshalls of the day, at the close of the procession, as we have been informed, addressed the commitee of ar rangement thus : Gentlemen of the com• mittee, I thank you for the marked attention you have paid me. You presented me with a sash—l put it on. You gave me a badge of office--I took it. You offered me a splendid gray horse for the day—l mount. ed him. I have marched with you. I have assisted you through the day. I have voted and I have acted and fought with you for twelve years. I can go with you no longer. I wish to quit your party in peace. I return your sash, your badge, your horse; and again thank you for the distinction you have conferred upon me. But, gentlemen, I'll be d—d if I dont vote for Harrison. I am just on my way to join the Tippecanoe Club. And he did join it. There's no mistake. AN IMEORTANT MOVEMENT There has been a large meeting in Lew ietown, of the original friends of Porter and Van Buren who declare they can support their destructive measures no longer. The meeting was organized by appointing J. L. PORTER President, DAVID BLOOM Vice President, and LAWRENCE MTLVANE Sec retary. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to report a pream ble and resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, viz :—D. L. Hoover, David Howell, John Kennedy, James M'Curdy, and S. S. Jones. We have not room for the entire report, but will give the follow. ing extract from it to chew the temper of the times. 1, Y our Committee have endeavored to discharge the duty imposed upon them in a manner and in a spirit becoming Arnsr ican Citizens. Each and every member of the Committee is now and always has been a member of the Old Democratic party-,-of Jefferson and Jackson—they therefore feel themselves at liberty to address' the voters of Mifflin County ae friends and brethren. Every member of the Committee voted for David R. Porter, and assisted to raise him to the Chief Magistracy of Pennsylvania,un• der the belief that in so doing they were supporting and sustaining the ancient prin. ciples and usages of the Democratic party ; but your Committee are now unanimously convinced that they have been in common with their Democratic brethren, deceived and misled by the empty professions of men in whom they once reposed confidence, and by whom that confidence has been abused and betrayed. Governor Porter when he entered upon the duties of his office, prom ised the people of Pennsylvania to use his groat power for the purpose of correcting the abuses that had crept into the admin istration of the government; and above all for suppressing the evils of the banking eye. tem ; and of meliorating and regulating the currency of the commonwealth, in accor dance with the known and expressed will of a great majority of the people. He promis ed to take care of and guard the rights and interests of the poor and laboring portions of the citizens and as far as in him lay to produce and maintain a social equality o condition amongst us. Your Committee are clearly of opinion that Gov. Porter has failed to fulfil these his promises, but that this administration of the government has been directed by evil and pernicious counsellors, whose prin ciples are as injurious to the feelings as they are hi stile to the interests of the peo ple." They resolve to support CALVIN BLYTHE as candidate for the next Governor, and that they have no hope in change of things for the better, but in a change of men and a change of measures. Though they do not positively announce their determination to support General Harrison for the Presi dency, there is no doubt, from the tenor of their resolution, that they will do so. They have clearly thrown off their ehackels and are determined to wear the collar no longer. They warmly, call upon their Conserva tive brethren throughout the State to aid them in correcting the abuses of the State and General Governments.—Harrisburg Chron. GRAND RESULT IN CONNECTICUT. A WHIG GAIN OF 30001, The Eastern mail of this morning brings us returns from Connecticut, showing that the Whig majority will be about 4600, a gain since last spring of over 30001 From the second edition of the Journal of Commerce of yesterday, we copy the following summary comprising all the towns in the State except three, which will not materially vary the result. 1840. 1839.
