Had you the eyes of the fabled Argus, he would blind them all. It really appears as :f he intended not only to bedizen the vision of his democratic friends, but to rival, by the effulgent beams of his palace, the "glorious king of day" himself. Brilliant and prince ly, however, as the East Room had been fitted up by the late President? it was desti• ned to have its colors brightened, and its powers of attraction increased, by the exqui site table of its present occupant—for, in an official report made in December last, the following important and gratifying informa tion is communicated to Congress: "The East Room in the• President's man sion has been greatly improved, by being newly painted and papered with a rich, chaste, beautiful paper." The former part was a ‘;fine lemon color," "with a rich cloth border," but Mr. Van Buren had doubtless been apprised, either by one of his sons, who at the time was on most familiar intercourse with, if not a resi dent at, the Court of St. James, or, perhaps, by a more formal communication through the Lord High Chamberlain of her Majes ty's Household, that wall paper of the "lem on color" had, during the progress of the last year, become unfashionable, and had not for several months been generally ad. milted as suitable for tho parlors of the first grade of noblemen, much less for the royal banqueting saloons. Hence, Mr. Van Bu ren, as every person of rank and fashion, and more especially as every gentleman born was, by the rigid laws of fashionable lire, bound to do, issued his royal mandate on the first day of July,' 'in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine, that the "paper of the lemon -color, with a rich cloth border," should be forthwith taken off the broad walls of the Eastern room, and that 4 'rich, chaste, and beautiful paper" should be substituted in its -stead. That the first clause of this royal 'ordinance was faithfully execated, will dis 'tinctly appear from the following voucher: "President's House, to Henry Snowden, Dr..• •"To taking off the paper of the East ißoom as per agreement with C. F. Wood, sixteen dollars, $l6 00 July 1, 1839. .Received payment of Wm. Noland, Esq. HENRY. SNOWDEN, his x mark. •"Witness J. B. Rooker. "Certified by Charles F. Wood." Endorsed. "Completing bpecial repairs of.the President's House, dic. $lO. Henry Snowden's receipt for work on the East Room.. of tho- P i rontdont'a firozen. July 1. 1839. No. 1." An official voucher now in my hands will also show that sixty pieces of paper, at $5 .each, making $3OO, were purchased from S. P. Franklin on the 20th August, 1839, for 'the East Room, and that the further imam of 030 was paid to that gentleman for hanging 'the same. And thus, sir, it is made manifest that not less than three bun- , dred and forty.six dollars of the money of your constituents and of my constituents have been expended daring last summer lot the gratigcation of a womanish but cost ly whim, in subatitutiv,"a rich, chaste, and beautiful" silver paper, with golden borders, for the unfashionable "lemon color, with a rich cloth border." But as a suitable re compense for this profligate waste of the public funds, the "hard handed democra. cy" of the country have been advised that "the East Room in the President's mansion has been greatly improved." They must therefore, :oe content. Mr. Cairman, there is a notable histo• rival incident associated with this East Room, to which I may with propriety re• cur whilst we are within the room itself, and before we pass through the massive jappan tied doors into the magnificent Eliptical Sa loon, where 1 next purpose to conduct you. That historical event refers to the cele - bra. •ted "East Room Letter," addressed to the cditor of the "Richmond Enquirer," and dated at Washington, January 1, 1827. Here is the fetter: "This being the day on which the Presi dent's House is thrown open to all visitors, I went, among others, to pay my respects to him, or rather, I should fairly confess, I. went fusee the EAST Room, for the furnish ing of which AVE had voted twenty•five thousand dollars at the last session of Con gress. I was anxious to see how that, amount of furniture could be stowed away in a single room, and my curiosity was fully satisfied. It was truly a gorgeous sight to behold, but had too much the look of regal magnificence to be perfectly agreeable to my old republican feelings." To establish the falsity of this celebrated letter, I will refer you to extracts from two distinguished public journals, one of them the "official organ" of General Jackson's Administration, and the other at that peri od in full communion with "the party." "It is well known that, through 31r. Ad urns' aristocratic pride, this elegant room (i. e. the East Room) in the President's House, was left isFonmsnEn."—U. S. Tel .egraph, Aug. 1, 1829. "The New York Courier and Enquirer of November, 1829, states as follows: "The coalition papers tell us that, the East Room is going to be furnished. This, at the best, is bad authority; but, if it be true, we are happy to hear it. The man• tier in which Mr. Clay's President kept the East Room was disrespectful to the office of President of the United States. Instead of its , looking neat and clean, and tidy, and being decently furnished as the mansiria of the Pi esident of a great republic ought to be, it was full of cobwebs, a few old chairs; lumbering benches, broken glass, and look ed exactly like one of the apartments of Windsor Castle, flolyrood Palace, or the Tower of London, those appendages to kings and monarchs. The head of a republic ought to give an example of the thriftiness , and virtuous habits of the people who put him there. EVERY PLAIN Reeenctoins, when visiting Washington, will now find a chair to sit down upon in the 'East Room.' They wont be kept standing upon their legs, as they do before kings an d emperors, and iiiractised by Mr. Clay's President, till they are so tired as scarcely to know wheth er they have any legs to stand upon. Un less General Jackson put GOOD, SOUND, SUBSTANTIAL FURNITURE into the 'East Room,' the 'REFORM is not complete in that quarter, and the People wont forgive him for neglecting it." What a strange commentary do the gor geous and dazzlin g garnishments of the "East Room" affor d in regard to tho re. marks ofthe "Courier and Enquirer," which have just been read by the Clerk. "Evxin PLAIN REPUBLICAN," forsooth, "when visi ting Washington, will now find A CHAIR to sit down upon in the 'East Room.' " Ay, sir, EVERY PLAIN REPUBLICAN will now find a set of chairs in that splendid and royal sa loon, which took the round sum of six HUN DRED DOLLARS of the PEOPLE'S CASH to pay for. Is not that "sitting down" with a vengeance? "Mr. CLAY'S President, (Mr. ADAMS) through aristocratic pride," kept the East Room "full of cobwebs, a few old chairs, lumbering benches, and broken glass." On the other hand, Martin Van Buren —has it now garnished with gold framed mirrors "as big as a barn-door." to behold his plain republican self in. What need ho care if those mirrors have taken TWENTY-FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS of the PEOPLE'S CASH to pay for them? Is not such democracy a burlesque on common sense and common decency? But, Mr. Chairman, I am not done with the "cele brated East Room letter." That letter was not only false, but was, immediately after its publication, known throughout the whole country to have been a sheer fabrication, "from beginning to end." For the sake of the author's reputation, it therefore became necessary that his name should be withheld from the People. The editor of the Rich mond Enquirer, instead of exposing the base coiner of falsehood, maintained the deep si lence of the grave in regard to the writer of theletter during a period of almost four months; and it was not until after repeated goadings that he became restive and sore, and began to manifest a proper disposition to clear his own skirts of the forgery. He accordingly announced in the Richmond Enquirer of the 27th of April, 1827, in reply to an article in some other newspaper on the subject of the letter, that "the account to which the writer refers respecting the EAST Room was forwarded to us, as it purports, by one of the most intelligent and distin guished members of Congress." This "most intelligent and distinguished member of Con gress," turned out to be THOMAS HART BEN. l'oN, who subsequently became still more • -Gr.a.a Humbug." I:said that his "East Room let ter" was false throughout, and that it was made sip of the whole piece of cloth: for it appears, at the very time (Ist January, 1827) that letter was written, describing the furniture, of the East Room as gorge ous to a degree of "regal magnificence," the room had no furniture, excepting a few old chairs, lumbering benches, broken glass," and divers fraternities of cobwebs. Sir, go for these old reminiscences, and I hold that, when "one of the most intelligent and distinguished members of Congress' will deliberately sit down in his chair and fabricate fur publication a wilful tie, for tho purpose of deceiving the People, he ought ever to be kept in fresh remembrance.— His title should be branded deeply on his forehead as ever was the letter R on felon's cheek. Sir, Thomas 11. Benton begot that falsehood—it was proved upon him; and though other matters on account of youth. ful indiscretion may be forgiven and forgot ten, this bass coinage ho brought to his own door, and is and will pe remembered by the People of the United States. Having paid .our respects to the "East Room," let us, Mr. Chairman, take a view of what is, at the present day, called the "BLUE ELLIPTICAL Sezoorr," though in for mer times it was known as the "Green Cir cular Parlor." This apartment is nearly oval in form, and is forty feet long by thirty wide. In its beautiful shape, rich French furniture, showy drapery, costly gilded or naments, and general arrangements, the "Blue Elliptical Saloon" has frequently been pronounced, in the judgment of the best con noisseurs, the choicest room of the palace. It is believed to have been prepared and fur nished very much after the style of the most brilliant drawing-rooms at the 2'uilleries, Fontainb/eau, Neuilly, and St. Cloud. To give you, sir, a proper idea of the 'regal magnficence" of this saloon at this day, I will, first enumerate• some of the articles with which it had been furnished before Mr- Van Buren became its occupant, and shall then show that he expended in"improving" the furniture of that room, during the first ton months of his presidency, the sum of $1,805 55 of the PEOPLE'S CASH. Sir, NOT OF HIS OWN. The "Blue Elliptica'. Saloon," among other furniture had the following: 1 superb FRENCH GILT mantel time-piece, representing Minerva leaning on her buck ler,on the face of which the clock is placed; the whole standing on . a square bronze pe destal, adorned on three sides with military trophies in bas-relief. The entire work is bronzed, elegantly carved, and richly gilded. 2 large GILT FRAMED MIRRORS. ' rplendid GILT EAGLE CORNICES. 1 large glass end GILT chandelier of 30 lights, ornamented with female figures and a bust of Diana. The branches being em bellished with the head of Minerva. 1 pair elegant bronze and heavy gilt man tel branches, garnished with ivy leaves and female figures carrying trumpets. 4 BRONZE and GILT OANDELABEAS, sup ported by a figure standing on a round pe &mai and bearing a palm-tree, with five lights. 1 pair of bronze and gilt andirons, with eagles in antique colors. 1 set of splendid PORCELAIN VASES, deco rated with the iich landscape of Passey, embracing the mansion of Dr. Franklin, when ho resided in France. 1 bust of Washington. 1 GILT CONSUL TARIM, with marble top. $ sots of Dooms. SILK window curtains. • 24 elegant GILT and SATIN CHAIRS. 4 do do RIV/TRES, for recesses. 1 large elliptical French carpet. Thiq carpet vt as very elegant, and cost l 9,059 francs. It was of the most brilliant' and dazzling colors; had a splendidly em broidered work in the centre, representing a Bald Eagle, ''large as life," with n scroll in his peak, inscribed with "E piuribus unum," and with the usual accompaniment of arrows in his taloons; while the flag of America, emblazoned by the stars and stripes, waved over its head. I said, air, I would show that Mr. Van Buren had expended $1,805 55. within ten months alter he had gone into possession, in making improvements in tho "Blue El liptical Saloon." I prove this expenditure by an original voucher, which I hold in my hand, dated December 12, 1537, containing the bill and receipt of Messrs. Patton & Co., New York, for materials, &c., furnish ed to improve the President's house. The entire bill as receipted, is $4,310 19; of that amount 81,505 55 was for articles, &c. for this room, viz: "3 wiedows," (curtains) SATIN lIEDALLION, Silk cord, Plain Satin, Galloon, SILK TASSELS, Gimp,. Repairing and covering 14 chairs, do do 2 sofas, 24 00 do do TABOURS - FS, 8 00 do do 2 screens, 4 09 do do 5 FOOTSTOOLS, 625 do do 4 sets pillows, 16 00 do do Music stool, 1 50 Mr. Chairman, how do you relish the notion of voting away the HARD CASH of your constituents, of your farmers, mecha nica, and poor laborers, for SILK TASSELS, GALLON, GIMP, and SATIN MEDALLION, to beautify and adorn the "BLUE ELLIPTICAL SALOON?" Suppose, sir, after you shall have returned to the charming prairies of Illinois, some plain, honest, republican "Sucker" should inquire what use a real genuine, hard handed, loco foco demos rat like Mr Van Buren can have for silk co vered pillows, footstools, and TABOURETS in the "Blue Elliptical Saloons:" how would you reply to the honest Sucker's interroga tory? Would'nt you acknowledge yourself fairly stumped? But suppose he would ask what sort of animals these Tenounurs or TABBY CATS, art.? I will endeavor to tell him, for 1 have lately given some little at tention to ibis curious department of natural h;.l^-9. "V"- - -• - • .. ''"" IN an article of furniture, which, in Europa and Asia, is only to be met with in the richest saloons of monarchs. It is a convex seat, without arms or back, and in form bearing a close resemblance to a Turkish standard, or the moon in her first quarter; is composed of GILT WOOD, cushioned and stuffed with very fine black horse-hair, covered with crimson damask, figured satin, and garnished with silk lace, GOLD FRINGE, TASSALS, TUFTS, and STARS. It is supported by an X. Even before the days of the Crusades, THE no lions OF THE TABOURET were held in the highest esteem. This honor consisted in the distinguished privilege of ammo ueoN A. TABOURET IN THE ROYAL PRESENCE. By long and well established court ceremonial law in many monarchies, no individual in the kingdom is entitled to enjoy this high distinction, on grand gala days, save a DUCHESS OF THE BLOOD ROYAL. In confir mation of what 1 have stated in regard to the importance ascribed to tho "honors of the tabouret," I will read a sentence or two from a recent and very interesting work by Governor Cass, our distinguished minister at tho Court of St. Cloud. The book is en titled "France, its King, Court, and Gov ernment." I read from page 84, London edition: "Under the ancient regime, the right to have both fuldtng•doors thrown open, or to sit upon a tabouret, which is a cushioned stool, was one of the greatest honors a sub ject could aspire to, and excited more sen sation than many a political event affecting the prosperity of the kingdOrn. On partic ular days the King dined in public, when, the principal personages of the court and the kingdom were seen standing at his chair, holding plates and towels under their arms and in their hands," dm. Mr. Chairman, I hesitate not to say that, if you inquire minutely into the history and uses of the tabouret, you cannot fail to dis cover that it has ever been regarded as among the indispensable regalia of a mo narch, and is by many considered almost as essential to kingly paraphernalia as the roy al jewels. the sceptre, the diadem, or even the crown itself. The four tabourets in the "Blue Elliptical Saloon" of the President's palace were procured from France, and cost 939 francs 8 centimes. Here, sir, is the bill transmitted to this country with the ta bourets: "Detail d'un Tabouret en I." Lo bole dore 125 00 3 Etoffee a dossin at 35 00 17 50 2 Bordure trois pouces at 60012 00 2 do . 18 lignes at 300 000 3 Pieces surfeit at 250 1 65 1 Toile d'Embourrure at 75 75 7 lbs.

Wont they think "them antutais rather dangerous critters" to be kept snugly seated within the "Blue Elliptical Saloon?" Wont they object against Mr. Van Buren paying away TIIBIR CASH for the purpose of dressing up these tabby.cats in new damask silk frocks? But . I would also very much desire to learn the views of these plain, republican "Suckers" in regard to three new window curtains, bought by our democratic President for the "Blue Elliptical Saloon." You will see, by "the bill," that $1,307 50 of the No- PLR's CASH was paid for these three cur tains—making just 8435 83 apiece. lam disposed to believe that the plain republican Suckers" will think 8433 83 is a little too much money to be laid out for 'Acing" one window curtain. Why, sir, that sum would build three or four "Log Cabins," and finish them off completely, with puncheon floors, clap-board roofs, cobs, ribs, eave-bearers, butting poles, weight-poles and ridge-poles, and including cat and clay chinneys into the bargain, and would also leave a few dollars besides to treat the folks who came to the do sofas & pillows do Ere screens. "raisin" with as much lIARD CIDER as they can stow away under the belts of their linsey woolsey hunting shirts. But, sir, what will those plain, republican "Suckers"say when I suggest that Mr Van Buren, doubtless, in the opinion of the "im porters of French silks," made money, or, to speak with more propriety, saved cash to the People by the purchase of these three window curtains at $1,307 50?--for the cur tains which now hang at the seven windows of the "East Room" required exactly $3,875 35 of the Pr•.orr.a's MONEY, or the moderate sum of $553 62 for each curtain. Do I startle your "old republican feelings?" Mr. Chairman, it rejoices my heart to behold that honest frown of disapprobation resting on your brow nt the recital of this prodigal and lavish waste of the money of your con stituents. As I like always to be armed with the proofofevery important fact which I desire to bring before the country, 1 will present you, sir, the bill of items for the curtains in the East Room. They were purchased from the firm of L. Veron & Co. in Philadelphia. Here is the bill: Suits of Curtains tor East Room. 81,307 50 176 37 137 27 96 65 $1,805 55 216 yards long silk fringe, 8410 40 44 " heavy cord silk fringe, 121 00 44 " " cotton, 16 72 210 " embroided eagle muslin, 352 80 120 " satin border, 492 00 198 " yellow silk, 607 60 132 " blue silk, 377 53 167 " white silk, 517 74 Mr. Nolen's bill for GILT RAYS, 70 00 A.

Whereas the curtains which were there at the retirement of Gen. Jackson were mere ly crimscn damask double silks, that had been bought from Mr. Perdreauville for the trifling sum of four hundred and fifty dollars, and were not deemed by fashionable gen tlemen and ladies sufficiently splendid to suit the other drapery of the saloon.— Whether this defence will be considered as good for 81,307 60 of the People's cash, I leave the People themselves to determine. [TO BE CONTINUED.] .ATE AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. The new steamer President, Captain Fayrer, arrived, as was yesterday announ ced in our postscript, at New York on Mon rimy evening, having left England on the first instant. The Acadia steamer, which left Liverpool on the fourth of August, arrived at Boston, under the command of Lieut. Edward C. Miller, on the forenoon of Mon. day, having been only twelve and a half days from England, touching at Halifax. One of the most important rumors that we notice, is that of a war among the Euro pean powers. The London morning papers of the third, in coin" with those of the whole of the preceding week, are filled with comments on the menacing tone and attitude of France, who is terribly indignant that England, Russia, and Prussia, should attempt to co erce Mehemet Ali, and prevent him carry ing into effect his designs against the Sultan. The Momteur of Saturday launches its official announcement that the reserve of the conscription of 1830 is called into acti vity, as also the entire conscription of 1839. This, with the recall of the soldiers en conge; will make an increase of about one hundred thousand men. Thanks to Algiers, the conscription of 1637 and 1839 has been swallowed up there. In addition, it offici ally corroborates the previous announce ment of the Debates, that power had been given or assumed by a royal ordonnance, signed on the 29th, to raise funds for adding ten thousand seamen to the French navy, with five sail of the line, thirteen frigates, and nine steamboats. There can be no doubt, says the Morning Chronicle of yesterday, that this force, in addition, to that already possessed by the French in the Mediterranean, and in con• junction with the Turkish and Egyptian vessels, forma a very menacing fleet. The support of Egypt by France has been all along given with this view, of rivalling and competing with our :talk! force. This ,is the secret of French choler and French menaces. If England makei no menaces, and publishes no ordinances in return—il the time should come for an appeal to force, 234 77 it will be found that she is not unprepared to defend her naval supremacy. The first effect of these ordinances, says the Times ofd esterday, upon the funds, was unfavorable. A reaction subsequently took place, it will be seen, and stocks recovered. If our private correspondent be well inform ed, further improvement may be expected, for he asserts, that, although much hurt by the proceedings of Lnrd Palmerston, (who has all the credit of the now treaty) King Louis Phillippe was still determined on cul tivating the friendship of this country, and on maintaining general peace. Still it would appear that the most sanguine, in their hopes that war will be averted, were compelled to admit that change might de feat the intentions of his majesty, and in volve the world in hostility. The ministerials journals before us are less violent than those of Friday. The De bates abstains altogether from comment. While we give these remarks upon ru• mors, we deem it pertinent to say that there is nothing in the situation of the European powers which renders it probable that they will seek to disturb the peace of the conti nent yet. REVOLUTION IN MEXICO. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 11, 1840 By the schr. Emblem, arrived yesterday frorn‘slatnmoras, the following very Impor tant intelligence from Mexico came to hand: Urrea, the late federalist leader, had escaped from prison; on the 15th July he roused the people, attacked and captured the city of Mexico, and made Bustamente a prisoner. At the time of the departure of the extraordinary express which brought the intelligence, there was some fighting going on in the centre of the capitol, and a general battle will probably decide which party is to remain masters of the city. The following day, the 16th, President Bustamente was set at liberty, and the Cen tralists were collecting their forces to make a desperate resistance. Accounts from Matamoras to to the let inst. mention the arrival of nn express from Tampico, bringing acconnts from the Capi tol to the 23d at which time Urrea had still porsession of the palace. The preceding news is of the greatest im. portance, and anxiously await further in telligence from that qua' ter. THE TWO NORTH CAROLINA SENATORS. —Messrs. Brown and Strange, U. S. Sena tors, have the credit of resigning their seats previous to the North Carolina election, i when the fact is not so: The New York Express says, a gentleman informs us, who had it from the lips of the Governor of the State, that the letter of these two Senators, resigning their seats, was sent to him, when the law and the constitution of the State, in. all cases requires tho resignation to be made to the Legislature. The Governor, there fore, returned the letter of resignation to them; with his reasons for not receiving it, —and it therefore now remains with these two gentlemen to resign or not. As the State has probably gone Whig, it is infer red they will retain their seats in the Senate of the United States. Certain it is. they did retain them all last Session in defiance of the Resolutions solemnly adopted by both Houses of the Legislature, disapproving of their conduct. TRE GLORIOUS PROSPECT.—We invite attention to the following estimate. It was made by an esteemed friend in December last; and, as will be seen, elects General Harrison without Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois or Ala. bamo. The probability now is, that the Old Hero will carry at least a majority of those States, in addition to the States coun• ted for him. The prospect is, indeed, glo rious. DOUBTFUL.

"The steamboat Cleopatra, as we learn from Captain Dustan, on her passage from New York to this city, on Wednesday night last, encountered a most severe storm, accompanied with powerful rain, vivid lighting and most ten ific peals of thunder, which fairly shook the boat to its centre, alarming most of the passengers, and among the rest, ono of the ladies, wh o prematurely made an addition to the number of passengers. The boy and mother are both doing well. The boy was immediate. ly christened Boanerges,(son of T hunde r .) If not a romantic name, it must be appropri. ate." - MonzaArr.—The Detroit Daily Advertiser of the 10th instant Intimates that the State of 31'01110ex will give two thousand votes of 11 majority for the Harrison ticket at the November election. A SION FROM OLD V IROINIA.—The last Winchester Republican contains an address to the people of Virginia, signed by upwards of one hundred citizens of Frederick county, heretofore friends of the Administration, but who now come out in favour of Harri son and Reform. An hundred good men and true renouncing Van Burenism, and rallying under the banner of the people's candidate, in a single county, is a tolerably fair sign, and evidence of "change,'' in the Old Dominion. Still, the organs of the Loco Foco petty try to persuade themselves and to delude others into the belief that there are "no-changes." From nit the signs accessible to the pod laical soothsayer, we believe Virginia is as certain to cast her vote for _Harrison and Tyler, as that President Van iliFen needy recommended" the Standing 'Army "plan" to the cosideration of Congress, and "could see nothing to object to," in the pro ceedings of a court martial, winch admitted negro testimony against nn officer o f th e U. S. Navy.—Bait. Patriot. REAL A LAMS LEAKING OUT.— An East. ern Inco foco, just returning from the South and West, met our friend Mr. —, a ve teran Whig, and supposing him to be Mr. Lynch of our city, greeted him kindly.— "You have the advantage of me," said Mr. "My name is Mr. —, of Ches ter County, and I am just returned from tho West, on my way home." "Well, what is the news there." "Bad," said the other, "Ohio, Indiana and Illinois may be consid ered as gone-1 have no hopes of either of those States. I have been through them all, and from diligent enquiry have no ex pectation that we can carry either." "Was you in Kentucky." "Yes—O, that Sinter goes for Harrison of course." "What news have you fi om Tennessee." "I was through part of Tennessee. The Whigs count on 6 or 6,000 of n majority; our friends do not admit this, but express much apprehension that the whigs will carry their electoral ticket. But still Van Buren is safe. He will get Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and Maryland, and all the South, and we can of to give them the West." "I am not so sure of Pennsylva nia, nor indeed of any of those large States you mention." "Indeed! do you think so, Mr. Lynch." "My name is not Lynch, though something like it. It is —." "0, 1 know you well by reputa tion, sir, 1 have then been talking all the time to a staunch Harrison man." "You have, sir." "Well, it can't he helped now —let's tak3 a drink." "1 look at you, sir, but I never drink." We vouch for the truth of the above, which occurred at the Exchange last week, and can give names if necessary.—Pittsburg Visitor. HARRISON.

Having helped himself to half a dozen oranges several jumbles and other knick knacks, and showing no dispo sition to pay the damages, the young lady who stood behind the counter called for as• sistance. His unusual capacity of jaw, however, enabled him to dispose of the sto len articles securely before assistance ar rived.

From the liopkiosville Gazette TACTICS OF TIIS PARTY.-- Villainous schemes of• the Federalists.—Sin—On yes terday, I received a letter from an intelligent gentleman 'of the City of Washington, sta ting about the 20th May last, Amos Kendall had requested a meeting of the most influen tial men who belonged to the party, and re quested them to meet at Georgetown, where ho would unfold to them a plan, that would entirely defeat all of General Harrison's pretensions to the Presidency. A large number met about the 25th ult , Kendall then informed them, if they would agree to follow his directions, and would give him one hundred thousand dollars, he would engage. that by the fall election, Ge neral Harrison should not have forty elec• torn! votes. His plan is to have the Admin• istration furnished three men for each State; such men too, as shall be qualified for the business—and to furnish them with mo ney, to be handed out on proper occasions. They are to travel continually, to mix with all companies and to lose no opportunity of forwarding the cause they are on. Ken dall is to furnish them with all papers which may be useful in the cause. They are to distribute them through all the States, and also money in certain places. They are to inform Kendall of all the events that may occur. Their expenses are to be borne, and they are to receive each $5O per month, but if they shall have proved so faith ful as to get Van Buren elected, they are to receive 8100 each. Two of them are to be in and about Cincinnati for the purposo of watching the motions of Gen. Harrison, and are to inform Kendall of any discovery they may make. It appears that they have all agreed to Kendall's plan, and without doubt, their emissaries are now parading through all the States, fine looking gentle men, smooth tongues and plenty of money. Every man may shortly expect to have his hands filled with Kendall's papers. %Vaa la plan ever laid, that is more likely to en slave the States than this'?-41tripe every friend of liberty may be warned to be on his guard, without delay. Be cautious of Kendall's papers; he gets $lOO,OOO for en slaving the Union. A FRIEND TO FREEDOM. -..... • .....

Was there ever a more revolting doctrine put forth by the "official organ" itself, than the above! "MEN AND NOT MEASURES." Kecpit before the people. It is the man, Martin Van Buren—the man of Kinderhook! that you are called upon to support; however odious his opinions.—however tyranni cal his acts,—or however directly they may tend to destroy your liberties, and wrest from you your rights. We have been charged with having a candidate who refuses to avow his principles; we have long since refuted the charge, and spread his opinions before the people. What in the name of all that is honest, is to be thought of these same men when they declare that they will not and do not support a man on account of his "men eures"l Let it be heralded to the Gulf of Mexi co, and let it reverberate until it reaches the Green Mountain boys.

As far as heard from the Whigs have elected 52 members of the H .use, and the Locofocos 25. Missouri. In this State the Whigs have gained 17 mem bers of the Legislature. The Locufacos claim a small majority in the Legiskture. The election in this State hai !citified in favor of the Come, let us Reason together. A word to those of our opponents, who in all honesty and under a conviction that they are sus taining their "good old democratic party," are sup porting Martin Van Buren. We have charged it upon Mr. Van Duren and his party, that in the establishment of his Sub- Treasury Bill, by which the treasury 4lf the nation is placed at the entire disposal of the President— and of his Standing Army project, by which the military force (and the raising of that force) of the nation is placed under his immediate com mend; the object aimed at is no less than the en tire subjection of tho people---the establishing of a controlling power by which • perpetual succes sion would be secured fur the Presidential chair, heredifctr'y in its nature—the overthrow of that moat essential feature of our government, the right of choosing our own rulers—and a speedy ex change of Republicanism for Royalty. We re peat the charge, and give you timely warning.— Do you doubt it? Read the Sub-Treasury Bill in our last. Give to it your calm and considerate attention—apply our remarks upon it, and say whether there is a shadow of democracy in it.— Does democracy consist in the concentrating of all power in the hands of one? Or does it not give it to the mass of the people? Is there not a great amount of power taken from the people. and giv en to the President by this measure? Is it more democratic to place the keeping of the people's money in the hands•of their President, than to keep it where the fathers of the Republic kept it, under the control of the people themselves,through their Representatives? These are questions which demand an answer from every freeman; and if in answering them ho should discover that he is tac itly bartering away his rights by sustaining Mr. Van Buren, who is the boasted originator of this measure, party reins should be cut—and a now President sought for. Read the Standing Army Scheme, and if you do not pronounce it the most direct violation of all democratic principles, de mocracy is not what it used to be. But if you need any further evidence of the truth of our warning, that you are not supporting democratic principles, read in the organ of your own party, the anouncement that "MEN" and not their "MEASURES" is what "the democra cy" support! All this cry of "support the democ racy by voting for Mr. Van Buren," is a humbug. got up to delude the old democrats—while the democracy which you are now asked to sustain is patent, and means nothing less than the man Van Buren. [llAntioun Out upon such miscreants. Let no true Amer• can protect them from the full measure of public odium which they deserve, for thus attempting to delude the more honest of their party. Claiming to be the apostles of democracy in your own coun ty, they have said that you care not for the inter eats of the country but will support the man, Martin Van Buren at all hazards: that you are not to vote according to ycur judgment of his measures—of his odious and anti American opin ions—of his acts in the Senate of New York—of his opposition to the late war—of his attempt to crush the laborer and working man, by reducing his wages to six pence per day—of his attempt to organize an army of 200,000 servants, who he can compel to carry into effect 1110 WILL, with sword and bayonet—of his discouraging Ameri can Mechanics, by importing from France, and other foreign countries, the articles of furniture, which decorate his royal palace—of his conniving at the trampling upon the constitution of a free State, and her total disfranchisement—of his sanc tioning the infliction of ONZ HUNDRED AIM TIV Eli • Tr lashes upon ono of our own citizen-seamen, by each one of which THE FLESH WAS CUT FROM THE BONE, and scattered on the deck —or of his countless other condemning acts. We ask you to support Gen. Harrison, not be cause of any thing in himself, although his private character is highly commendable. Ho is the Re presentative of our opinions on all the great ques tions which now agitate the country. We ask you to vote to sustain the measures of policy which he will advocate. We support measures --our opponents support MEN. Choose ye be tween us. Will you vote for Martin Van Buren, the man, or will you vote for the great reforming measures which will be introduced by Gen.

We have furnished you with a copy of our pa per “containing the Independent Treasury Bill, as approved by President Van Buren," together with a few comments on it—and consequently, we de- mand of you the proffered "dive gallons of hard cider." Fork up, gentlemen—there is no backing out in this case. We know thee you and your clan of Locofoco brethren are strongly opposed to the "credit system," therefore, we will expect you to comply with your promise forthwith. The following dialogue took place between. Mr. Coors', of Pa. and Mr. Joss, of Virginia, in the House of Representatives of the United States, on the last day of the session, during the discussion on the Fortification Bill, when an amendment had been offered by Mr. Jones, Chairman of the com mittee of Ways and Means: Mr. COOPER, of Pennsylvania, comment ed with great severity on the language of the amendment, and especially resenting the insinuation that the United States flank of Pennsylvania would not comply with its engagement to the government. He de. flounced such conduct a• morally culpable —it cast an unmeritted imputation on a patriotic institution which had never failed to meet Its engag ements to the government, and had, though persecuted and maligned, stepped forward to support the credit of that government in its need, and was ready to do so again. He adverted to the course pur sued by the bank in coming forward to res- cue Pennsylvania from ruin, and her credit from destruction; and yet gentlemen here could be found to lend themseives to the attempt to injure and discredit such an in stitution. lie reproached the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means with acting unworthily of - his high station in the House in becoming the instrument' of such a design. He suggested to Mr. J. to modify the amendment by striking out the insinua tion it contained against the bank. Good. Mr. forms said the amendment was the result of the deliberation, of the committee, and not his own individual proposition. In reply to Mr. Cooper he observed that there were members on that committee who would at least compare with that gentleman in intelligence, honor s truth, dignity, and every quality that adorns the character of man. As to the remarks personal to him self, which that gentleman had, rudely, thought fit to make, he held them in con tempt and disdained further to notice them. Mr. J. then spoke in reply to the remarks or, Mr. Wise. Mr. GrarrNELL, of New York, obtained the floor, but yielded it to Mr. COOPER, of Pennsylvania, who repli ed briefly to Mr. Jones. He baid, if the language in which he had characterized the conduct of the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, had been wanting in courtesy, the reply of that gentle had cer tainly not been less so. Ho said ho was accustomed to call guilt guilt, and to desig nate knavery by its proper name, nor to lacker them over with the tinsel oflanguage until they might be mistaken for virtue and honesty. But the gentleman talks of con tempt! His contempt ! (said Mr. C.) who is he? The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and the unscrupulous in strument made use of by the Administration in communicating its propositions, even the most disgraceful of them, to this House.— His contempt Tho contempt of the chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means of this bankrupt Administration—of a man who has earned the station he occupies, not by the possession of high statesman-like qualities, but for the reason it was believed he would prove a handy tool to do the work imposed upon him by his unscrupulous mas ters I Humble ii.deed, not only humble, but degraded must be the man who could feel the contempt of such as he is. His con tempt ! 1 Mr. C. despised it. He would not say he despised the gentleman, because it would not be parliamentary; but he would say that he despised baseness. Mr. C. said he was an humble man, one of the humblest of the representatives of the people; yet he hoped he would not be deemed guilty of self-praise if he claimed to be that gentle man's equal in every thing but unhesitating subserviency to the will of his exacting masters, and to vie with him in the slavish servility which had characterized his course he had no ambition. Mr. C. said, the gentleman had endeavor. ed to produce the impression on the house, that the amendment with which he had found fault, was the unanimous result of the deliberations of the committee, and that his remarks were an attack upon its members. Mr. C. said, the amendment was offered bi) the gentlemen; he had treated it as his.— What he had said referred to the chairman alone, and not to the committee. For sev eral of the gentlemen on that committee he entertained the highest respect. His own distinguished friend and colleague (Mr. Bid. dle,) and the gentleman from Maine, (Mr. Evans,) were statesmen who deserved the name, and possessed all those qualities which win respect and admiration. Their acknowledged ability and talents had saved the committee of which the gentleman was the head, though on account of very differ ent qualities, from the utter contempt into which it would have long since fallen in the eyes of the House and the country. Nor did he believe that they had ever counten anced the gentleman in his attempt to con ceal the profligacy and extravagance of the Administration by insinuating a slander a gainst the Bank. He said he had now done with the gentleman for the present. LANCASTER, August 18. "RIVERS OF BLOOD." On Friday evening, our city was again disgraced by another outbreak of the spirit of Locofocoism. A meeting had been cal- led of the citizens, to take into considera tion what the bullying Superintendent of the Columbia rail road and his dependent ban ditti were pleased to term the extraordinary proceedings of the Grand Jury who ignored the bill presented against R. W. Middleton, for shooting James Cameron in his own defence. This meeting was principally composed of the hands employed upon the rail road. A car load was brought down from Colum bia, and some from Parkcsburg wore also present. A man from Philadelphia was appointed one of the officers. One of the most incendiary speeches ever uttered was made by John W. Forney, John K. Find lay, the prosecuting attorney of the Mayor's Court took part in the proceedings. What kind of resolutions wore passed, we have not heard, but there is no doubt, the meet ing was got up for no other purpose, than to create a mob and to excite it to deeds of violence. After the meeting adjourned, scenes were enacted which defy description. A gang of rowdies took possession of the square around the Court House, and commenced an attack on every opponent of Van Buren who came to their way. Dr. Ralph Jack son, a very respectable citizen, about sixty years old, and who for the last two years has been in ill health, was knocked down and severely beaten. Thomas E. Frank- lin, Esq., was pursued by a gang of ruffians, with Cameron at their head, to the house of Col. Mayer, which ha reached, after being twice knocked down with a cane, and severe ly injured. He was pursued into the house, where one of the blackguards finished the outrage, by valiantly assailing Mrs. Mayer, as she was endeavoring to close the door and prevent the entrance of the mob. We have thus given a plain unvarnished statement of this disgraceful transaction.— We shall not offer any comment, for the simple reason, that no language we could employ, would• adequately describe the enormity of this offence against the laws of our country. The orators of the party have declared that they will maintain their ascendancy iu this city, if necessary, at the point of the bayonet, and the occurrences of Friday night, prove that this declaration was not a mere idle threat. We. would not willingly add fuel to the fires of violence now raging among us, but we do say, that Immediate measures should be taken to pre. servo the peace of the community, and pro. tect the - persons of our citizens from out rage. Let a meeting of all who desire the continuance of Law and order be called, and let that meeting put the seal of public condemnation on all concerned in the late atrocious proceedings. 11, after the step has been taken, it shall bo found that neither the force of public sentiment nor the power of the Law is sufficient to check the spirit of lawless violence, nothing will remain to be done, but that each individual should avail himself 6t - his constitutional light, and protect himself from personal injury by whatever means lie may have in his power to employ.—Union. ANOTHER ANTHRACITE FURNACE.- Mr. John Pott, of the West Branch Valley, has converted his charcoal furnace into an An thracite Furnace. She was blown into ex clusively with Anthracite about two weeks ago under his own superintendence, and con tinues to make excellent iron, yielding from 10 to 12 tons per week. The furnace is of the smallest class, and. the yield, with the use of Anthracite, is greater by two or three tons per week than with the use of char coal. This makes the seventh Anthracite Furnace in blast in this country.—llliners Journal. SHOCKING A CCIDENT.-A coroner's in quest was held on Saturday evening last, upon the body ofJourt WILLIAMS, a colored lad of 12 or 14 years of age, who was found dead about one mile from the borough,on the Chambersburg turnpike. He had been gun ning, and it is supposed, from the circum stances, was sitting on the fence loading his gun, when it was discharged, and the ram rod entered near the eye, and passed through the head, protruding from the back of the head about an inch and n half, producing, no doubt, int:twit death. In this situation he was fond. It was impossible to extricate the ramrod, and it was cut off upon each side. The jury found their verdict in ac cordance with the above circumstances.— Sentinel, August 24. From the Log Cabin Rine.

We therefore, do declare, and certify, that we whose names are hereunto signed, officers and members of said club, have beer. in the habit of constantly attending the meeting of said club, since it organiza tion; and that the whole of said charge as set forth in the article referred to, is ut terly and totally false and without shadow of foundation No transaction of the kind alluded to, nor indeed any other to which the most fastidi• ous could take exception, has ever occurred at such meetings, or within our knowledge. So far from the place of meeting resounding with the shout of "drunken revelry," we have never seen liquor introduced on those occasions into the meeting.

' A lady' up stairs in the front room hear. ing the prodigious clatter of wheels and hoofs belew, thought that the old boy or an earthquake hail come, and was so exceed ingly alarmed that she thrust one leg out of the second story window, intending to jump into the street, but was helkastride the win• dow sill for soma time to prevent her brea• king hor neck, and finally by force drawn back into th 3 room, and preserved. Mean time the noble horse, who had occasioned so much consternation and alarm, was backed out of the store, cab and all, and after a brief refit of the vehicle, went up the broad street at a killing pace, under the charge of his yankee driver, apparently proud of the feat of heroism ho had so sin. , , gularly achieved. .
