Bet, if gentlemen are really anxious to aseertein the state of public opinion and be governed by it, let them open their eyes and leek ahrosid mon the country, and they will see such "manilestiitions of it, as even thrice a, &len stupidity cannot mistake.— Look at the myriads, from'tewn, and coun try, and city, and hainlet,who crowd around every rostrum where the acts of this Ad ministration are denounced. Did gentle men over witness such gatherings of the people, and at such a season? Has it Lpien common fur our farmers to leave their grow. ing crops and ripening harvests, to assemble in thousands and tens of thousands to ex press their disapprobation of the measures of Government? Has it been common for the mechanic and the humble tenant of the log cabin to leave their homes and travel hundreds of miles, on font, with their knap ,mcks on their backs, to be present at these meetings? And, sir, these thousands are not composed of the ben and arriere bun of office holders, convoked by conscription.— No, sir, no; they are generous volunteers —the farmers, and mechanics, and their sons —the same class of men, animated by the same spirit, who left their workshops,' and their ploughs in the half finished fur-' rows, and caught up their arms and hasten ed. without concert and without a leader, to Concord and Lexington to do battle for their country against the trained and hired myr. midons of tyranny. - Mr. Chairman, acting under the heartless influence of party spirit, you may divest yourself of all sympathy for the thousands who are to be involved in distress, and ruin. ed by the operation of this measure; you may view with stoical indifference the pros •perity of the country crushed and blighted :by it. But if not as a humane man, as a va:ty man, take counsel. Beware of the indignation which will ho visited upon you and your party, when the efflicts of this measure shall have been traced home to your But I know you will not be warned. Th:s bill must be passed. It has lieen so decreed. The judgment of this Boum as made up, and it will-soon 'be pro -Bounced.. But from that judgment we will appeal to the great tribunal of the American people, and there it will be reversed. There are many Wier topics connected with this measure which it was my intention lo mace, but , my failing strength admonish es me to hasten to a close. But before I take my seat, I beg leave to propose a remedy for existing evils, without a resort to this measure. {The Chair nodded assent.]— Very well, sit; the remedy 1 propose is the restoration o confidence. All the evils which efflict the country have had their or igiri in the destruction of confidence, pro. duced by your wretched experiments. Let the people understand that there is to be no more quackery and empiricism, and busi• ness will awaken Tram its trance, - commerce will again spread its sails, and prosperity will be restored to the country. -Does any one doubt the magical effects ofa restoration of confidence to a desponding end-euffering peoplt..? Let him turn to the history of our late war with England ; looket its inauspi- Ciotti commencement—at the defeats and disgrace which everywhere attended our armies. We all recollect 'the sad train of disasters which clouded the beginning of that contest. Hull surrendered at Detroit; Van Renseltter was defeated at Queens. town; Winchester's army was cut to pieces on the river Raisin; Sinyth's expedition had Failed; and at length, not only the weak and timid but those of stout hearts and keen foresight began to apprehend a disastrous terniination to the war. But, amidst the deep gloom of the period, General Harrison was 'called to the head of the army; the tide •of defeat and disaster was rolled back; con fidence was restored, and victory once More perched on our dishonored standards. Our troop., dispirited by successive defeats, were taught again to face and conquer the British Merano. The stars and stripes, which had been trampled in the dust, were raised again to float in triumph over the heads of our countrymen. Such was the result of a reStorattou of confidence then; such will be the result now: and when trade, and commerce, and manufactures, the me chanic sits, end labor well rewarded, shall spring into now life; and when all, as here tofore, shall be crowned with prosperity un der the beneficent policy of a wise admin. istration, the penile will exclaim " God bless General Harrison," as they did when the news of his victories came upon the winds from the marshes of the North west, to rouse the drooping spirits of his country men; and, as was the case then, songs of gladness will be sung, and bonfires and illu minations will light up the hind in joy for its deliverance.

Ldo CWnut, Nowrit Pump, July 24 ., 7h the Editors qj Me 'New York Erpress: Respected Friends:—The weather ism. sidernble hut now, but not half so but as tome folks ‘l, ill find it afore November next; for, if IL am nut mistaken, as things are go. ing, we shall have pretty warm work before that day comes. 1 han't had my coat on now going on threo weeks. Letters and folks pouring in, end the Gineral says, "Ma• jor, you must spring to, and lend me a help• ing hand in the Cabin, or the (arm will go neglected, and that I can't allow no how." The Gineral is a master hand for looking out about the farming work, and I do rely believe if any mnn can show him how an acre of ground con be made to Fro:lnce more corn or hay than it did afore, he will stand a bigger chnoce of getting an office thac any ' man who shows he can control more votes than any other mnn. When the folks all go offend the Gillen', and I sit down together and talk over mat. tors, and he vvi item down the proceedings of the day, I find he culls out especially all he has heard about what this and that ono said about farming. "But." says 1, "Ginerul, why don't you say something about what they said regarding the political votes of their dis' ricts?" snys he, "Major, some things are eternal and sortie things are changeable. Now, if I can only get the farming working going right, it matters very little how other mailers go, for, in the end, that will bring all things right." The Gineral says that the ablest and best politician in the country is the man who can make one acre of ground produce more than it ever did before; and he says if he can only put his eye and finger on that man, he will ask him, as a particular favor, to fill the highest office he can name, provided lie is willing and able to take office, for the Gineral goes on that principle. Ile says that offce is to be given only to such es are able to serve the country best. He says that agriculture stands first; nextcomes the mamfactunng and mechanic arts, and then comes the merchant and lawyer—all neces sary to one another. But the politician who has no other trade ho thinks is a poor critter, and he 'hopes the present Adminis• tratton will do all they can for him, for he don't like to see any body suffer, but he can do nothing but tell him to go to work at some useful calling. The first question the Gineral puts to a man who calls upon him, is to know what his trade or calling is, and if by chance ho lets on that he has none, the Gineral takes him right out in his potato patch and gives him a lesson in digging. I tell'ed the Gineral one day, says I, "Gineral, this wilt never do in creation." Says 1, "Why, Mr. Van Buren will beat you all holloW on this tack, for the first ,thing he finds out is to know how many votes a 'man can command, and, according to his power, he sets too and greases him, for he knows that it is by votes and not by potatoes that a President is to be elected." But the Gineral don't believe this, and he says "he would rather be a plain farmer, and surroun• ded by a set of men who can dig potatoes, than t 3 be President, and surrounded only by a set of vote diggers." I don't know how it is, but according to political calculations one would say the Gineral is to be beaten, but, according to what onesees all about creation, I think the Gineral's corn and potatoo crops will beat Mr. Van Buren's vote crops three to one. There is one thing that I think will throw Mr. Van Buren flat on his back. He thinks that his party will go for him through thick and thin, because he says he is at the head of the "great democratic family " Now that family is very large. All on 'em aim office holders. Some en 'em are farmers; some mechanics; some manufacturers; some merchants; and as his policy is only inten ded to profit the office holding portim of that family, and dead against all the other mem bers, they tell him that Mr. Benti.n, Mr. Blair, Mr. Kindall, and a very few more, are not all the democratic family. But he don't believe it—and this is the rub; and every time he tries to "reward friends and punish enemies," he finds he makes matters, worse; and he will find, that instead of being a good sound Democrat, be is only a selfish politician, seeking to retain office at the ex pense of a large mass of people who say that a democratic Government was intended for the good Of the greatest number, not for the exclusive benefit of a few office holders,who put noses together and plan schemes to keep themselves in office. 1 don't know what folks think along the seaboard, but out here the cry is, "the Gov. eminent must be administered by honest men, and every man in office must be such as any honest citizen would select to be his executor and guardian of his estate and chil dren when he conies to die, and no other will suit; that they must be men who look to the good of the whole People, and not to a party; men who, taking office, will know its duties and obligations and, if found using the influence of said office to retain the sta tion, should at once be treated just as a good farmer would treat an overseer who attempt ed to instruct the dogs on the farm to bark at the owner. This would be turning the wrong end foremost; and this is about the Ginerars. notion, and that of your friend and fellow citizen, J. DOWNING, Mitjor, &c. N. B. The Gtneral is curious to know how the "sub-Treasury" gets on in your parts. Do tho folks lug about the coin ac• cording to law, or do "certified checks" en "the rascally banks" taka the place on'tl— If you don't care to answer this, you need not; all that the Gineral cares to know is, if the law is carried out all.alike —not goose here and gander there. that's all. "Il I had a drop of democratic blood in my veins 1 would let it out."---JAmEs Bu. CITANAN. Well, why don't you do it? With all your prating about being a democrat at pre rent your refusal to "let it out" is a tacit tic knowledgment that you fib! Why don't you go ahead?—Luncaster Guard. From the Suequehance Register: ••BOYS! DO YOU HEAR TRATI". The opponents of Harriccin and _Reform in this country are continually crying out, "There are no changes here—Our majority will be increased!" To such as hear these statements - we Would recommend a perusal of the fidlowing declaration from Twenty- Five citizens of Great Bend, in this county, headed by the name of one of the most re spactable leading V. B. men (hitherto,) in that section of country. The reasons as signed for this change are cogent nud unan swerable, and as such. we recommend them to the attention of the public. The paper was drawn imp and sent us for publication en tirely voluntarily, and we are informed in addition that there were other voters whose minds had undergone a similar change, but who had not chosen to make a public man ifestation of it as also that there were many former Van Buren men now 'on the fence,' and others who would not vote. We hear of changes similar to these in many parts of the country. A clear increase of 25 in a small town in the "Hard Pan County," is a significant indication of the popularity of the gallant Hero and patriot Siatesinan,who, like Andrew Jackson, will hear down all op position before hum. In the words of Ex- President Adams, "Harrison will come in like a whirlwind!" We the undersigned citizens of Great Bend, Susquehanna county, Pa., supporters of Martin Van Buren in 1836, taking into consideration the measures of the present administration, we view them as antidemo cratic, and in opporsition to the principles of the old Jeffersonian School of Politics. Our reasons far not supporting the present incumbent any longer, aro short, concise and republican. I. We are opposed to a large standing army in times of peace. 2. We object to the Sub• Treasury system, as placing the control of the monied power in the hands of the Executive, thereby pin cing the Army and Navy at his unrestricted service. 3 We shalt oppose Martin Van Buren, because he is not willing to have the power of the President restricted by law, which we assume is necessary to the maintenance ofour Republican institutions. 4. We despise the idea ofa reduction of wages, of arraying the rich against the poor, making the poor man work hard for a small pittance, while the rich are revellicg in luxury. Finally, we cannot conscientious ly support a man who is grasping at arbi trary power; destroying the old land marks of democracy, and paralyzing the aroma of the country to sustain itself under its present embarrassments. Therefore we shall without hesitation sup. port the genuine Democratic nomination of Harrison and Tyler for our next President and Vico President, believing Gen. Har rison to be an honest old Farmer, en upright and enlightened statesman and patriot, who fought the battles of his country while Van Buren was taking his ease at Kindee heok. We call upon the old republicans of bus• quehanna to the rescue, to unite heart Ind hand ►n elevating an old and worthy vetocan who has always enjo)ed the confidence of the people, to the Presidential chair, and sustain the honor and character of wt. coun try.

The Sec retary of State, in his letter to the Federal Loco-fcco Convention recently held at Mil ledgeville, the metropolis of his own State, gives, en passant,a slap in the chops to KEN DALL, BLAIR and the rest of the miserable scribblers, who without posessing an} char acter themselvds, are busily engaged in tra ducing General HARRISON. Mr. Fousrrn alludes to his "long acquaintance with Ge neral Harrison," and their "kind personal intercourse for many years;" and intimates that it would be an "offence" to that rite quaintonce and intercourse, if he were to "call in question his (General Harrison's) ABILITY, or his DISPOSITION TO PROMeTE THE HONOR AND PROSPERITY OF HIS COIIII• TRY, according to the principles and opin ions that have governed his political life." It was undoubtedly owing to the fact that the Secretary of State refused to belie the history of the country, and to falsify the result of his own personal knowledge and observation in regard to General HARRISON, that the Globe, while noticing, with plaudits, the course of the Georgia Federal Loco flmo Senators and Representatives, and oth ers, who are active in pushing the cause of the Administration in that State, omitted any reference to Mr. Forsyth. "Heard of the big flood nt the South late ly," asked a Harrison man of a Locofoco. "No. Where was it?" "In Louisiana; the whole South is swept." "Alf indeed. A great deal of property and many lives lost, no doubt." "I believe not. It was a Harrison flood; destroyed nothing but the hopes of the Spoilsnien, and drowned cofocoisin steno deadl—That'S all." As a matter of reference and, to 'show our readers who aro the principle loco foco Sub- Treasury 'thieves, and the amount: they have stolen from the people within the last year or-two, we publish the following table. It give' the names, places of residence, and amounts stolen by these government robbers. There are still hundreds and thousands who are not in the list. Hero are only a little over two millions of dollars while they have stolen near twenty minions. The greatest robber of the whole crew is Van Buren whose name is not down, but should head the list with fifteen millions of, dollars per year swindled from the people's pockets.— The great beggar should follow next with one or two millions.

It was shown sat isfactorily to the Court and jury, that Messrs. Neil, Moore & Co., were very ex tensively concerned as stage coach proprie tors, and generally gave entire satisfaction to the public.

Clay was enthusiastically received by the people of W heeling, on his way home from Wash• legion. He made one of his brief, happy speeches to the people who assembled to greet him, in which ho bore the following strong testimony to the worth of the vener able Harrison: '!General ilsrrison, though a military man, and one of the first military men in the country, was never an advocate of military rule to the exclusion of the civil authorily, and has proved himself, in and out of Con groat, one of the first among statesmen and scholars." At the close of his brief remedy', Mr. Clay used this language, as reporte&by the Wheeling Times: "I am satisfied now, gentlemen,that there can be no doubt of the result of the election in November, and every day more fully con firms• mo in the opinion, that Gen. Ilarri• son will receive the votes of at least twenty States of the Union,unless some mine should bo apt wig upon us, some deceit practised, of which we have now no knowledge, or the Whigs should fail in their duty to them selves and the country. To make sure of this desirable result, we must work for it, we must labor by day and by night, in sea• eon end out of season; we must leave nosh ing undone that me can do with honor to ourselves. We must fight the battle earn• estly, faithfully, and we shall do it success fully." $2,06-1209 66 DEntocrtAirs.—There has been a deal of squabbling in the papers, about the Democ- racy of the two candidates for the Presiden cy. The Harrison papers say that Harri son is a Democrat, and the Van Buren pa pers say that Van Buren is a Demo( rat— the truth of the matter is, both sides are right—both candidates are Democrats—but of different kinds. Harrison is one of the old fashioned kind of Democrats, arid Van Buren is one of the new fashioned kind. A patent was got out a few years ago, for a new and improved kind of Democrats, and Mr. Van Buren vias made a Democrat by virtue of this patent. Unfortunately, the Patent Office was accidentally burned—be ing too near the Post Office, and the record of this patent destroyed, but the People may rest satisfied that Mr. Van Buren is in truth a patent Democrat.—Standard.

With the determined spirit of '76 flashing tram his eyes, the old hero fearlessly entered, against such fearful odds, the desperate engagement, and we guess she wont come the tyrant over him any how she tries it. -.... • ••••••• COL.

Col. R. M.

The proof of what I say can, it required, be produced." An Erie, (Pa.) paper states that a few evenings since, a dry goods merchant ofihat place was swindled oat of $l9 in good me. ney and one dollar in goods, by a stranger, who passed upon him what purported to be a $2O bill on the Farmer's Bank of Orwell, Vermont, and on the same .evening, a $2O bill of the same description was imposed upon a Druggist, no doubt the same person. The Druggist gave $l7 in good money in. exchange. Tnn BULLET FoyNn.—The London Jlor ning Chronicle of the 15th of Juno says— "At about half past five two poor boys, one of whom is named Jas. Jennings, found one of the bullets fired at her Majesty. It was buried in the ground directly under tho wall,. which was marked by it. On finding it, the boy put it into his pocket, and was about to walk away with it, when ho was stopped. by Mr. Manning, of 15 Great Portland. street, Caveudish•square, who was standing near at tho time, and brought to the Palace. The bullet is flattened on one of its aides,. and is marked with red streaks, as though it had struck against a brick. It is in pos. session of the inspector, at the Palace, who also took charge of the boys."

PHE PEOPLE." The question is often put to Pennsylvanians by citizens of other Slates, "What ore the chances in fiv.'r of Mr. Van Duren's securing the vote of the Keystone State." We have eirected our attention to this question with a view to ascertain what the most rational and probable answer is, and have concluded upon the following data, that there is no more probability of Pennsylvania's going for Martin Van Buren, than that the Missisbippi will turn its waves and roll them up stream. In the "Democratic" State Convention which met at Harrisburg, on the sth of March, 1832, to nominate candidates for President, Vice President and Governor, every county was represented.— Gen. Jackson was unanimously nominated for President, and Gco. Wolf for Governor; but out of the whole number of delegates, (132) Martin Van Buren got but one single vote for Vice Presi dent ! Murk it ! Old George Kremer was the only delegate among one hundred and thirty-two of Martin Von Buren's politicarfriends, who vet. ed for his nomination as Vice President. This was a fair test of his popularity ! And the mare effectually to prevent his nomination in any event, "Resolred, That if the nomination for the Vice Presidency made by this Convention should fail, by death or otherre:se, so that the candidate nominated should cease to be a candidate, that then the electors nomina ted by this Convention be and they are hereby instructed to give their electoral vote for the Vice Presidency to George 211. Dallas, he being the next highest in vote in this Convention." Cunning Martin attempted by stratagem, to procure the Electors' influence; but being detect ed, an expose of the plot was published by one of the electors, (Gen. Samuel M'Keari) and contempt was poured upon him by "the democracy." The conduct of Gen. M'Kean was sanctioned by •the democracy" by electing him a member of the Uni ted States Senate, during the following winter. At the last Presidential election in 1636, Mar tin Van Buren received 91 475 votes, Gen. Har rison 87,111; giving' 4.364 of a majority to Mr. Von Buren. At the election in 1838, there were polled in Pennsylvania 250,146 votes; leaving 158,671 voters who have never cast a vote for Martin Van Buren. If under these circumstances any man can claim with candor, the vote of this State, he must close his eyes against all that has transpired in the past, and hope fur the best. The magic mantel of the Hero of New Orleans has been cast upon the Hero of North Bend. Some of his sternest sup porters are foremost in the support of Harrison. In every county in thu State there will be an in creased vote for Harrison. There exists no par tiality for the Magician of Kinderhook in Penn sylvania, (witness the convention vote in 1832.) He is not the choice of the party who nominate him. With all these distractions, in the face of the hundreds of changes to Harrison, and the thousands of changes against Van Buren—with the Harrison Nest firm, united, and determined to conquer, who can doubt that we will join Con necticut, Virginia, Rhode Island, and Louisiana) Wo will do it! k'Now, we propose to either of the nppo sition papers of this place, to publish in our paper, a 3 much of the speech of any mem ber of Congress in opposition to it, which they may select as will occupy as much space as the bill, &either one of them will publish the Independent Treasury bill: or we will publish the speech of any member against it, occupying double the space it does, if the editors of the two papers will publish the bill, in their respective journals Will they do it—or are they also afraid In let the law itself be seen by their readers?

But, apart from that feeling. the resort which has been made to this sFeeies of defamation, exhibits a degree of des. pondency which is told ten fold more loudly in such language then could be done by on open avowal of their fears as to the result. The fllow ing sentence is taken from the Ohio Statesman of June 30th, 1840, edited by Samuel Aledar y, State Printer of Ohio, Printer to the Poet Office De partment, Publisher of the United States Laws "by authority:" "UEN. HARRISON.—AB thia decent gen• ileman has thought proper to allude to the Ohto Statesman in one of his confidential letters to North Carolina, in a CON'T'EMP TUOUS manner, we shall carry the war into Africa. We shall show who is the most deserving of respect. WE SHALL SHOW THIS STRAW STUFFED, IN F.BRIATED OLD DERAUCIIEE UP TO THE WORLD IN A LIGHT THAT WILL MAKE EVEN HIS CONSCIENCE KEEPING COMMIT TEE FEEL AS THOUGH THEY HAD A NASTY BUSINESS ON HAND." The editor of the Detroit Free Press, who also publishes falsehoods "by authority," and is paid vzith the people's money for vitiating the people's morels, holds the following language: [l.linnoun "Log cabins 1 What are they? Rendez vous for the depraved and dissolute—nor. series for drunkenness, idleness, and die honesty. Yes, sir, the very AVENUES AND VESTIBULES OF HELL." He who deliberately would put upon paper such on expres.iim (it is not worthy of being. called a sentiment) concerning the hum:lle residences of our best citizens— who would thus attack the plain, honest end patriotic men who live in thu humble cabins of the West—and more than all, the hireling creature who would impiously send• forth from his venal press, such a sentence in reference to him, who enjoyed the unbounded con fidence of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon roe, the elder and younger Adams, of whole ar mies who pronounced him, "prudent, raise and brave," and of his fellow-citizens who have re peatedly constituted him their Representative in our councils—is well worthy of being placed be tween heaven and earth, as a target at which British foes might direct their musketry, and when his body should have been riddled with their balls, the carcase should ho exposed to birds of prey, that such base ingratitude might even he held up as having been visited with that reward which it merited. To the Editor of Me "Star." DEAR Sin—You will confer a favor upon me by publishing the following letter. ROBERT G. HARPER. GETTYSBURG, August 4th, 1840. To R. G. Harper Esq. Treasurer of the Gettys burg Female Academy. Wen Si ii,—Enclosed you will find my check on the Bank of Gettysburgh for thirty-six dollars, being the ono half of the sum received by myself as a member of the late Legislature, for daily pay during the recess. The other half I have destined to aid in rebuilding the M'Shcrrystown Female Academy destroyed by fire last spring. This mo ney should have been placed at your disposal sooner, but I have until recently been undecided what direction to give it. It never was my inten• lion to apply one dollar of it to my own use. As my name does not occur among the yeas and nays on the adoption of the Extra pay, it may be proper that I should avail myself of this occasion to explain to you as ono of my late constituents, thnt this was occasioned by my being then enga ged in attending to the passage of a Bill in the Senate, which I had previously had passed in the House, in which a portion of my constituents felt a deep interest, and which it was expected would come up on second reading in the Senate on that forenoon, although it was not taken up until after n arils. I refer to the Bill repealing the 88th sec tion of the Election District law of last winter, which changed the place of Election in Menallen Township, and for the passage of which nearly every voter in the Township had petitioned. As the people of the district interested had manifested 94 universal an anxiety on the subject, and as our Senator Gen. Miller felt it to be his duty to differ from me on the question, I thought myself justifi able in temporarily leaving my seat to watch over their interests in the Senate. The consequences I the less regret, as my single vote on the Extra pay, would not have changed the result. Please acknowledge the receipt of the above. Respectfully your friend, DANIEL M. SMYSER. Gen. , M 9 Kean's Opinion of Van The following is an extract from a letter writ ten by Gen. SAMUEL MlCsAir, (late United States Senator of Pennsylvania,) dated Harrisburg, Sep tember 15, 1832, showing up to the democracy, through the columns of the Montrose (Pa.) Re gister, tho then-would-be candidate for the Vice Presidency, and now candidate for the Presidency —Martin Vnn Buren. If the blinded adherents of Locofocoism will not give ear to any thing that comes from the friends of Gen. Harrison, we ask them to hear their own friends, upon the charac ter of their candidate. ..Out of their own mouths shall they stand condemned:"— "1 had already noticed, with no other emotions than those of contempt and dis• gust, the movements and declarations to which you allude. designed to create a belief that the Presidential electors nominated on the sth of March last would, if elected, vote for Martin Van Buren as Vice President. I will not believe that any honest and intel ligent friend of Gen. Jackson can be guilty ofauch gross temerity. Should even a well grounded suspicion prevail that such a course wou'd be ultimately pursued by any portion of the electors on our ticket, thou sands of Gen. Jackson's sincere friends would be deterred from supporting It; and if the corrupt attempt to induce this course be persisted in to the last, it may render doubtful even the entire electoral vote for Gen. Jackson himself. "My personal respect for the President, and the connexion (unfortunate I must call it, both fur the country and Gen. Jackson) which recently existed between him and Mr. Van Buren, have hitherto deterred me,, in some measure, from speaking of the latter as 1 think be_ deserves. The unsparing Buren. , . Ibitterness of hia firmer opposition to Gtne ral Jackson, c ntinued until eriry hope of success was blasted by the firmness of Penn. sylvanip, argues but little in favor of the sincerity and patriotism of his late FAWN ING PROFESSIONS, to say nothing of their grossness and servility. Stowed as I am, when at home, on the confines of the State of New York, and having been per. sonally intimate with many of Mr. Van Bu• ren's partisans, few individu ifs have. had better opportunities than myself of marking his political manoeuvres for the last twenty years, during which time he has exhibited all the powers and qualities, with regard to politics, of the chamelion, assuming every hue or color which his ambitious purposes, in view of the exigencies of the moment, seemed to require. To speak plainly, I know him to be DEVOID OF POLITI CAL INTEGRITY, and must of those high qualities of the mind which wherever they may be found, I humbly trust no minor difference in matters of human opinion will ever prevent me from duly acknowledging or yielding a just respect for. Cunning, and certain species of popular talent ha in deed possesses; but these only render him the more dangerous in times of public ex• citement and illusion. When ho first en tered Gen. Jicksoo'a cabinet I exprfesed my serious misgivings of the result to Judge 111*Lean (then Postmaster General) and others, and the mischiefs which I then ap• prehended have been more than verified.— His whole course has been that of a political disorganizer, whenever it c , uld promote his selfish schemes. Party arranjements, and even the sacred ties of personal friendship have both by turns been coldly sacrificed upon the alter of his insatiate ambition." A Dom— We learn from the Hagerstow n Torch Light of Thursday, August, 6th that a duel was fought on the preceding day, "within two miles of Hancock, near the road leading from that plaCe to Bath, in Morgan Co., Vn. between Wm. Price, Esq. of Hagerstown, and the Hon. Franeis Thomas, of Frederick. One fire was exchanged without effect. The challenge was then suspend ed and an explanation, satisfactory to both parties took place. Mr; Thomas was the challenger.— The language which occasioned the challenge was used by Mr. Price, in a public address, in Cumberland, Allegany county, about three months since. Pan Buren Forgeries. Of all the charges that have been preferred against Gen. Harrison, NOT ONE has been sub stantiated; all are refuted, and like the misty cloud, chased by the rising sun, and dispersed into noth ingness, they have vanished before the truth.— Not knowing wither to flee for weapons with which to carry on the war against the people's candidate—finding him sustained by his country, and by his acts—with a deveration well b. fitting their abject situation, the basest forgeries have been palm tl . upon the public to acci.mplish par tizan ends. Each of which, as they come to light, aro detected, and the shameless actors exposed. We insert, without further comment, three forge ries that have been detected : No. 1, is the letter purporting to be ad; dressed to the Minilton Counts• Committee by James Henderson, of South Bend, In diana. It was pronounced a forgery on its first appearance by tho committee, but the Loco!*mos still publish it. We have now the following conclusive testimony, taken from the Albany Evening Journal : "We have received the following letter from Mr. IV. S. Garri3on, who resides at South Bend; - Indiana, where the Henderson letter bears date, relative to the forgery in question. Comment is unneresFary. Sown' REND, (la.) June 24,1Q40. Dear Sir:—The letter purporting . to be from the pen of James Henderson of this place to John C. Wright, David Gwynne arid 0. M. Spencer, and published in the Albany Argus of June 6th, is A manufac tured base political lie. No such man lives or ever did live in this town or county to my certain knowledge, and l have been a resident of this county for the last seven years." This forgery first appeared in the Albany Argus. No. 2, is the infamous "Circular" our. porting to be signed by Alfred Kelley, Chairman of the Whig State Committee of Ohio, and published far and wide in the Lo co F'oco papers with a full knowledge on their part, that it is a base forgery, perpe trated by :he reporter of the Van Buren State paper—acknowledged by him to be a forgery, and further corroborated by the testimony of the leading Van Buren men of Columbus. Immediately upon its first appearance in Ohio, the following genuine circular was published in the Columbus Journal, by the committee : A CARD. The Harrison and Reform State Central Committee have learned that a printed cir cular, purporting to have been issued by said committee, headed "CIRCULAR:—(PBIVATE AND corin DENTIAL.") Sighed and dated as follows: "By order of the Central Committee, "ALFRED KELLEY,Chairman. "Columbus, May 19, 1840." Has been forwarded by mail, to persona in various parts of the State, through the post office in this city. This pretended cu• cular was never seen nor heard of by any member of the committee until a copy was forwarded to us from Dayton; and we, the members of the committee now in Colum bus, DECLARE IT TO BE A BARE FORGERY.

Mr. Cal. houn charged the forgery home on these villains, and three of them, Messrs. Jame. son, Steenrod and Tirrney, finding" they could not escape detection, acknowledged the forgery publicly in the Globe. Yet the Locefoco press is using this forgery ie a genuine article to eledtioneer Yet these forged documents are published by some of the Federal i ; ece Foes papers, knowing' them to be forged. ,How' abandoned are not our opponents!

MOTZE CIIANGES—Perry County.—A few weeks ago several Loco Pecos of Perry coun ty in ibis State, robbed the hen rimsts of Mr. Remit'', a leading friend of Mr. Van Buren, and in attempting to cook the chickens, set fire to his barn. The depredators were ar rested, convicted, and sentenced to several years' imprisonment, when they were par doned by Governor Porter.
