gilt bronze mantel time piece, representing Hannibal, the celebrated Carthagenian Ge neral at the b title of Canna.. There are n , ) other apartments on the first floor of the palace excepting the 4 'Court Levee, or Banqueting Room," and the family dining mom, with sundry store 1 Moms, and plate and China closets between I them. I shall call your attention, Mr. i Chairman, to the "Court Banqueting 1 i Room," but not until we shall first step to , the left of the great entrance hall, that we , may ascend the grand staircase covered with a rich Brussels carpet, in order to take a very cursory view of the interior arrange ments on the second story of the palace.— The apartment on this story which has been most admired is denominated the "Ladies' Circular Parlor," corresponding in form, lustre, and alegance, with the "Blue Ellip tie.al Saloon" on the first story. This beau tiful "parlor" was fitted up in handsome style by Mr. Adams, and was occupied by that President's family, during his term of office, as their company, ,receiving room.— Soon after Mr. Van Buren came into power. the "Ladies' Circular Parlor," as well as every other apartment in the palace, was ordained to accept a splendid outfit at the bands of the gilder, the painter, the carver, the uphokterer, and the importer of gold and silver paper, royal Wilton and imperial Saxon carpets, g ilt rays, stars, fringe, tas sels. Fanny Kemble green glass finger caps, fancy toilet sets and other lovely foreign ornaments. I discover by a voucher now in my hand, that .Mr. Van Buren, on the 12th day of December, 1837, paid $1,041 of the People cashloi the embellishment of the "Ladies' Circular Parlor." This sum of $1,041 is one of the charges in the (large bill $4,316 08) of Messrs. Patten & Co. New York, and to which 1 before referred. 1 will at this favorable time present some other charges, included in this bill of Messrs. Patten & Co. What do you think, Mr. Chairman, of the following specimens olio. co torn democnizy? For President's Chamber. Making curtains and ornaments, $57 50 Silk Tassels,l9 00 For President's Parlir?‘ . .

Silk Cord; 59 6S Tassels, 42 00 Rosettes, 5 00 I am disposed to believe, Mr. Chairman, that the present occupant of the palace is not n "real genuine" loco foco hard handed democrat. He can't have the "right stripe." You may depend upon it something must be out of gear. Why, sir, he loves tassels, rosettes, and girlish finery almost as much as a real "Bank Whig" loves"hard cider." By the act of the 3d of March, 1837, Con greets eppropnated twenty thousand dollarrl "for furniture of the President's Hou se ," I quote the language of the law, "for 'furni ture' of the President's House." Now, I find• the entire bill of Messrs. Patten & Co. included in the abstract of payments made by Thomas L. Smith, agent for purchasing furniture fur the President's House, from 15th April, 1837, to 16th May, 1838." 1 would, t herefore, respectfully inquire wheth er "silk tassels and rosettes" are considered, household furniture, in the legitimate de mocratic meaning of the word? I ask, sir, whether "silk tassels and rosettes" can be democratically inventoried as part and par cel of the household furniture of a hard handed loco foco? Are "silk tassels and rosettes" hereafter to be written down, deemed and taken in the same category with frying pans, oaken chests, chaff bags and crout tubs? As well might the honest citizen of Tulpebacken valley, who garnish es his 8 by 10 looking glass with a string of . blue jay, yellow hammer, vhittaker, and mocking bird eggs, call those speckled eggs household furniture, and formally bequeath them, when be is about to take leave of plantations and speckled eggs, by his will, written or nuncupative. Sir, this would be too bad for a Christian country. But, this is not all, for In the same "Abstract" ofpay. meats made by T. L. Smith, the following bill is also included: W.teutmaros. August 23, 1837. "The United States Government for Presi dent's House, To Auet. F. Cammayer, Dr. 453 Broadway, New York. «For gold leaf, gilding materials, labor, and expenses to the President's House, 82,000 00 "August 25, received payment in full of T. L. Smith, "AUGT. F. CAM3IBYER." Do you suppose, Mr. Chairman, that a plain, unsophisticated low foco can stand this? Will he agree that Martin Van Bu m acted fairly by retying out money which had been appropriated by law for "furniture for.. the President's House," in buying gold! leaf and gilding materials, and afterwards "whipping the Devil round the stump" by calling gold leaf and gilding materials household furniture? No, sir, he will not_ The genuine loco face is too honest for that. Some few of them may, perhaps, be persuaded to admit that "Silk Tassels and Rosettes" an part and parcel of an ortho dox. schedule of democratic household furni- Poe. but I aver that the application of red ~~~. hot pincers, racks, gibbets, bowstrings, chains, and molten lead, cannot induce one of them to acknowledge that gold leaf and gilding materials may bo legitimately timer• ted in the same schedule. But the "end is not yet." I have before me, Mr. Chairman, the original bill (duly receipted,) of C. l. &J. F. White, for "French Bedsteads," "Marble top wash stands," "Dining room Commode' with 'Statuary Marble top," 'Dressing Bureaus,' and other upholstery,bought Aug. 10, 1837, for the sum of $1,599 50 of the People's cash. These articles may be denominated "household furniture" in the proper and true understanding of the terms. But, air, I protest against expeaditer the money of my constituents for elegant French bedsteads. Must the American oak, and hickory, and cherry, and walnut, and maple, that admits of"amoothest stain," stand neglected in the forests, for the gilt rosewood, sandal, ebony, box, and mahogany of France, and the far off "Isles of the seal" Shall the People's money be shipped "across the ocean" by the People's chief servant to support foreign mechanics, whilst our own "cunning work men" almost perish for lack of bread?— Shall that "bread be withheld from the mouth of honest labor s ' at home, but lavish. ed upon the subjects of kings abroad? Why was Mr. Van Buren so anxious to possess an elegant French bedstead? Does he desire to have the trimmings of a "crown bed" also! Besides the "Ladies' Circular Parlor,"therts are twelve commodious apart ments on the second story of the palace— one of which is occupied by tise President as an "office." The term "office," howev er, has been proscribed by the "Court Cir cles" as a vulgar noun, and hence the ' of fice" room is designated at the palace by the higher sounding and tinkling name of "the President's audience chamber.".— Hard by the "President's Audience Cham ber," is the "Ante-ROom," into which all visitors are conducted by a richly attired I English palace servant to wait until the democratic President shall signify his plea sure that they may be introduced to "the presence." I have heard a gentleman complain that the "Ante• Room ' had not been provided with a large mirror, by the laid of which fashionable ladies might prop. erlv adjust their "bonnets and curls;" and before which, I prasume, spruce courtiers who visit the palace could "practise in ma• king up their face for the day." In relation to this subject I cannot forbear to call your attention, Mr. Chairman, to a short passage in the 57th number of the 28th book, Lon don edition, of the writings of the distin gaished Archbishop Erasmus. Ho is giv. ing "directions to a young man how to conduct himself at 'Court. "As you are going to live at Court," (says Erasmus,) "I advise you, in the first place, - never to repose the smallest confi dence in any man there who professes him• self your friend, though he may smile upon you, and embrace you, and promise you; ay, and confirm his promise with an oath. Believe DO man there a sincere friend to you; and do you take care to be a sincere friend to no man. Nevertheless, you must pretend to love all you see, and show the ut most suavity of manners and attentions to every mdividual. These attentions cost you not a farthing; therefi're, you may be as lavish of them as you please. Pay your salutations with the softest smiles on your countenance, shake hands with the appear ance of most ardent cordiality, bow and give way to all, stand cap in hand, address eve ry body by their titles of honor, praise without bounds, and promise moat liberally. "I would have you every morning, be. fore you go to the levee, practice, in ma king up your face for the day, at your look ing glass at home, that it may be ready to assume any part in the farce, and that no glimpse of your real thoughts and feelings may appear. You must study your gee. tures carefully at home, that in the acting of the day your countenance, person, and conversation may all correspond, and assist each other in keeping up your character at the Court masquerade. "These are the elements of the courtier's philosophy, in learning which, no man can be an apt scholar unless he first of all divests himself of all sense of shame, and, leaving his natural face at home, puts on a vizor, and weans it constantly too. In the next place, get scent of the various cabals and parties of the Court; but be not in a hurry to attach yourself to any of them till you have duly reconnoitered. When you have found out who is the King's favorite, you have your cue; mind to keep on the safe side of Ithe vessel. If the King's favorite be a downright fool, you must not scruple to flat ter him, so long as ho is favor with the god of your idolatry. "The god himself, to be sure, will re quire the main efforts of your skill. As of ten as you happen to be in the presence, you must exhibit a face of apparently honest de light, as if you were transported with the pritilege of being so near the royal person. When once you'have observed what he likes' and what he dislikes, your business is done."' Erasmus proceeds to counsel his Court pupil "to pay more court to enemies than friends, that he may turn their hearts, and bring them over to hie side." The Archbishop, sir, was deeply read in the book of Courts, of human nature, and the world, and drew his picture "from the life." And I appeal to the honorable gen tlemen who represent the "Palmetto State" on this floor, to say whether the present in ' cumbent of the palace is not the very char acter which Erasmus ironically counsels his studeut to become. Let those gentle. men reperuse the paragraphs which have just been read, and then let them burnish up their reminiscences of Gen. Jackson's administration, and they cannot fail to recall to mind the name of hie distinguished "Court favorite," whose will was omnipo• tent, even to the dissolution of a cabinet.— And they will also doubtless remember the smooth, nimble courtier, who, 'lnstead of mounting barbed steeds , To fright the souls of fearful adversaries," capered in the palace saloons; and, after he i Ind hie cue, roused the vengeance of "the 69 00 30 62 35 49 9 52 12 50 2 00 12 40 =27= god of his (pretended) idolatry" against the then Vice President of the United States, and then hied away "to carry party consid erations, to urge party merits, and to solicit party favors at the toot of the British throne;" and who has since that period, paid more court to eneniies than friends, and thus turn. ad their hearts and brought them over to his side." • I have also heard some persons affirm, in regard to the "ante room," that it . had not a sufficient number of chairs to accom modate the visitera there at times kept in waiting. lam satisfied, however, that the President cannot be aware of the fact, or ho would have ordered for this room a do zen or two silk damasks or bamboo canes from the other apartments of the palace, from whence their removal would hardly have been recognized. Democritie Presidents, Mr. Chairman, sometimes get tired of their furniture.— Some change, perhaps, has taken:place ir. the fashion, and then, forthwith, it becomes "old and decayed" furniture, and they send it off to auction and sell it for a whistle.— At least six different sales of "old," or un fashionable furniture have been held within the last seven years, viz: sth Dec. 1833, gross proceeds, $ 636 03 7th do do do 3,831 23 23d do do- do 53 55 Ist May, 1833, do 200 60 10th March, 1835, do 190 00 23d N0v.1837, do 1,078 71 $5,990 92 Commissions and other expenses, 310 52 Nett proceeds of sales, 85,680 40 After.all, sir, it may be better occasion ally to dispose of the surplus furniture of the palace, otherwise its rich saloons would soon resemble on auctioneer's room at Bish. °mate, to which noblemen, impoverished by their vices, order the furniture of their castles, for the purpose of "raising the wind." 1 shall not detain the committee, Mr. Chairman, by going over the same "eternal round" of elegant and costly furniture with which the apartments on the second story of the palace abound. I must not, howev er, omit to name the ostrich egg mantel or naments on silver stands, and the superb imperial and royal Wilton, Brussels and Saxon carpets; some of which, it is said, are deep enough for a good loco foco democrat to bury his foot in, as he walks over them. Let me refer you, sir, to three or tour of the carpet bills: "Nat!, YORK, July 3, 1837. "The President of the United States, by T. 1.

I have also before me, Mr. Chairman, other official vouchers, duly receipted, for the following carpeting, purchased for the Preeident i a palace since the Reformers came into power: From Lewis Vernon & Co.

Now let me refer you to the 2nd section of the act of Congress, passed the 224 of May, 1826. It is in these words: "That all furniture purchased for the use of the President's House shall be, as far as practicable, of American or domes tic manufacture." Was it not"practicable to obtain Ameri can or domestic carpeting "for the use of the President's House?" No gentleman dare affirm that. Then why did Mr. Van Buren violate the law, in purchasing foreign carpets? Are there no carpets made in the United States of texture firm enough, and of colors sufficiently gaudy, to please the eye of a democratic President? Are American weavers, and dyers, and manufacturers, too dull and too stupid to make a decent Repub. kola carpet? Is American wool too coarse or too fine—too long or too short, sir, that American mechanics cannot form a carpet out of it genteel enough for the feet of Mar tin Van Buren to soil? Why does he pre fer royal and imperial wiltons to the fabrics of his own countrymen? Has he no A mori• can patriotism to call to his aid, and to shield American mechani, a from this direct insult to their skill? Can he not appreciate the feelings of honest pride, that would swell with delight the heart of every true born son of America, at beholding the floors and the walls in the saloons of en American President furnished with plain, substantial, American manufactures? Is this the poli cy that Mr. Van Buren proposes by which wo are to protect domestic industry from foreign competition? Will he adopt the strange mode of conferring benefits on Ame rican artisans by transporting their money to reward the artisans of England, France, Belgium and Saxony? W hat will the Ame rican wool grower say to his plan? How will the American weaver relish that? To correct and to punish this outrage against American skill and American industry, I re ly with full confidence on the friends and potions of American manufacturers and mechanics. [TO BE CONTINUED] ADAMS COUNTY HARRISON MEETING. Agreeable to phobic notice the friends of Gen. WILLIAM H. HARRISON met at the Court-House in the Borough of Gettysburg, on Monday the 24th day of August. On motion of T. Stevens, Esq the follow. ing gentlemen were appointed officers of the meeting: PRESIDENT, JACOB KELLER. VICE PRE4ADENTS, FREDERICK Boxsze, ABRAHAM Tamura, JACOB COVER, ABRAHAM KING, JAMES CUNNINOHAM,DAVID BLYTHE, JACOB WILLS, Esq. PIIILLIP LONG, JAS. M'ELWEE, Esq.

Baird,Esq. the chair appointed a committee of twenty-six to drnft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The following named gentlemen were appoirited:—W. M. Baird, Esq. Geo. Ickes, Col. John Wolford, Thos. M'Lean, Col. John Waltor,George Clark, Esq. Capt. John Burkholder, James Morrison, Joseph Baughor, Capt. Robert M'Kinney, John llorner, Capt. Abraham Waybright, John Lilly, Col.

John Neely. On motion of T. Stevens, Esq; John Dickson, Esq. Col. M. C. Clarkson, and 0. 0. M'Lean be a committee to invite the Hon. John Reed, C. B. Penrose, Esq. and Mr. Hambly to address this meeting. The Hon. John Reed, on account of in disposition, asked leave to be excused,which was granted; the meeting was then addres. sed by C. B. Penrose, Esq. in an able and expressive manner; when the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Wuenzsa, We believe that governments are instituted for tho good of the governed, and the object of all should be "the greatest good to the greatest number:" And where as, whether the intentions of the present ad ministration were good, or otherwise, their experiments have entirely failed, and our country which three years since, in the lan gunge of President Jackson, was "prosper ous and happy," now presents a scene of confusion and distress unparalleled in its history: And whereas, every promise made by the present party in power, has been made only to be broken; instead of retrench ment and reform. our national expenditures have been more than doubled, and the num ber of idle office holders largely increased: instead of bringing back that republican simplicity which characterized our govern ment in its early days, our present execu tive has made himself ridiculous by aping the manners of foreign courts and kings: And whereas, Mr. Vau Buren has manifest ed a total indifference to the wishes or in terests of the people—has forced through Congress by means of party organization the Sub Treasury bi:l, a scheme which had thrice been condemned by the represents. tives of the people: and, whilst the nation has been suffering under his mal ndminis• tration, has insultingly said, "there is no pressure which honest men need regret," and his answer to the remonstrances of cit. izens has been "th! people expect too much from the government,"' let the people take care of themselves and the government can take care of itself:" And whereas, the inde pendent treasury law in fact creates an aristocracy in our country, separating the office holders from the people; giving one kind of currency gold and silver to the for. mar, and another kind, paper money, to the latter: And whereas, amongst other threat ened experiments one has been broached, denominated "a plan to reorganize the mi litia," in plain terms, an act to create a sten 267 44 233 75 24 00 28 00 43 29 $1,274 48 89,499 6R - ding army of .200,000 men, creating a mil ita.ry, government, breaking up the divisions of States, forming military 'districts, a law which would oblige the people of this coun try if the President commanded it to go to the most distant part of this State or of New Jersey, armed and equipped at their own expense, and if caring to utter a disrespect ful word of the President, to be punished with the utmost severity of the laws regu lating the conduct of the regular soldiers of the present day: And whereas, amongst other ridiculous doctrines of the party now in power is, that every measure proposed by the President is considered approved by the people in case of his re-election, and, as we disapprove of most of Mr. Van Buren's measures, and especially the standing army and sub-treasury projects : And whereas, in conclusion, in the words of Amos Kendall, in his late affecting address to the people, 'laws are violated with impun;ty, moral ob ligations are scoffed at and derided, knave ry walks the streets with the bold lace of honesty, plunderers of the public, and of public institutions obtain'sympathy and 14- giveness." 'lherefore be it Resolved, That we are opposed to the re election of President Van Buren—his whole administration having tended to the benefit of the office holders, not of the people— most of his measures calculated to effect the destruction of our republican form of gov ernment, and himself totally indifferent to the welfare of the nation. THOMAS STEPHENS, GEORGE FLEIGER, Resolved, That wo continue firm in our opposition to the Sub Treasury scheme; we believe ►t to have been forced through Congress by the unlawful conduct of the majority in admitting the administration members from New Jersey: and we trust that one of the first acts under the new ad ministration will be to repeal this unpopular measure. Resolved, That we are opposed to Mr. Van Buren's new military scheme; we nei ther like the idea of a large standing army. nor do we admire this plan in its details, and consider it a plan to give the President the sword (he has the purse) a union of this kind wo fear, judging from former exam ples, would be fatal to our liberties. Resolved, That we see another proof of mismanagement on the part of the adminis tration an the conduct of. the Florida war; commenced unjustly, c'irried on disgrace fully to our reputation, with an expenditure of at least thirty millions of dollars, and now no nearer a termination than it was five years ago. Resolved, That we sympathise with our sister State, New Jersey, disfranchised by a corrupt government in order to carry their corrupt measures. Resolved, That we deplore the extrava gance of Mr. Van Buren's administration, the expenditures increased from the thir teen millions per annum ofJohn Q. Adams, to the thirty-seven millions of Martin Van Buren and in place of a surplus revenue, a public debt created by the issue of treasury notes. . . Resolved. That the loss incurred by pub lic defaulters which during the three years of M r. Van Buren's administration, is great er than during any eight yenrs preceding, shows that our government has fallen into bad hands, and that in the case of Mr- Woodbury, the old adage of "set a rogue -to catch a rogue," is not verified, as he has been aware of men plundering the public treasure for a great length of time, and in the end let them escape,with full hands. Resolved, That we dislike the pride and extravagance of President Van Buren as well as his meanness; he has furnished the white house at the cost of an immense sum to the people for French bedsteads, artifi cial flowers &c.—whilst at the same time ho charges the United States with hemming his dish towels and milk strainers. Resolved, That these evils show us the necessity of a change of men and measures; it has always been found that a party long in power becomes corrupt ai.d extravagant, and we feel that this is emphatically the case with the present administration. Resolved, That in Wm. Henry Harri son, of Ohio, we have found a man who has the disposition as well as the ability to car ry out our plans of retrenchment and re form; his, conduct whilst governor of the territory of Indiana, manifests his talentsl and integrity; with an almost unlimited power, he gained and has preserved the' affections of the people of that country; he I acquired for the United States a large' amount of public land, and with the greatest opportunity of enriching himself, retired, from public life no more wealthy than when, he entered upon it. Resolved, That the conduct of Gen: Harrison during the late war merits the I gratitude of the people; when all was de-1 spondency and leer, when the armies 61 1 Great Britain were triumphing on our Noithern frontier, he turned the tide of for tune, and by the battles of Fort Meigs and the Thames restored peace to our frontiers and confidence to our armies. Resolved, That we heartily respond to the nomination of John Tyler, of Virginia, for the office of Vice President of the Uni ted States, and consider him as a statesman and patriot, a worthy associate of the gal lant and honsst Harrison. Resolved, That we prefer judging candi dates for office by their past actions rather than their present promises; we find that every action of Gen. Harrison as Governor of Indiana, as member of Congress, of the Ohio Legislature, and as minister to Co lombia, has been characterized no less by the desire of serving his country than by the beneficial effects; whilst the acts of Mr. Van Buren have all been injurious to the people of the United States, his promises have all been broken: we can trust him no longer. Resoled; That we are in favor of a pro tective tariff, an the only means by which our manufactures can compete with those of Europe, and would be obliged to Mr. Van Buren's committee to inform us what his opinions are on that subject. Resolved, That as Mr. Van Buren sines hiscoalition with the nullifier John C. Cal houn, seems inclined to laterite° every Northern interest to that of South Carolina; Pennsylvania will not assist in re-electing ibis allorthern man:with Southern piaci. pl s." Resolved, That as Mr. Van Buren has been' thrice condemned by the people of New York, and as it is well known that no President has been elected with his own State in oprosition to him. the little magi cian can scarcely expect to conjure himself into office a second time. Resolved, That the result of the recent elections South and West, are calculated to inspire us with fresh confidence in the re sult of the Presidential campaign, and that in them we see a refutation of the foul slan ders which have been heaped upon our can didate. Rewired, That we cannot subscribe to the doctrines of Messrs. Calhoun, Buchan an, Tappan and others, which propose by means of an exclusively metallic currency, to reduce the wages of the laborer to 124 cis. per day and the price of wheat to 18 cts. per bushel, whilst the salaries of the office ho!ders nominally the same aru in re ality increased three•lold. Resz.lred,That we do not approve of Mr. Van Buren's seeking examples in Europe for the best plan of governing this country —we do not believe that what is found ad vantageous in the rotten despotisms of the old world would be beneficial in 'the "land of the free, and the home of the brave." Resolved, That we think that justice en titles the Old States to a share of the pro ceeds of the Public Lands, acquired by their blood and treasure. R i c:aced, That the press should be alto imitiered untrammeled, that the circulation of newspapers should bens widely extended as possible, and that the conduct of the Postmaster General, in prohibiting the car riage of newspapers on the rail roads, ex cept in the mail, is an attempt to prevent the misdeeds of the Administration from coming before the people—"they fear the light because their deeds are evil." Resolved, That the doctrines of certain Van Buren men in the city of New York, and lately avowed by the leafing Van Bu ren journal in Boston, edited by a Van Bu ren office bolder, are startling to every man of morality: we do not consider this peopla prepared to have all religious forms abol ished and the right of descent of property taken away, and it behooves the President, if he has a spark of patriotism, to disavow the doctrines and remove the officer who uttered them. Resolved, That the course of our mem ber of Congress, Mr. Cooper, and that of our members of the Legislature, Messrs. Penrose, Smyser, and Albright, merit our warmest approbation. Resolved, That we approve of a Conven tion of the people to be held in Lancaster on the IStk_September, and that we will take care that Adams county is well repie seated. Resolved, That all the Democrats is Adams county be appointed delegates to the Lancaster Convention. Resolved, That a county committee or nine be appointed for the purpose of appoin ting Township committees to organize for the election. The committee are Thaddeus Stevens. James M'Sherry, John B. M'Pherson, Geo. Deardorff, Dr. D. Horner, R. Smith, Jas. Bell, Samuel Witherow, and David Mid dlecoff. Resolved, That a committe of five be ap pointed to conduct and superintend the ar rangements which may be deemed fleece. sari in relation to the Lancaster Convene lion. to be held on the 18th of September. The committee are M. C. Clarkson, A. R. Stevenson, James A. Thompson, Daniel M. Smyser, and A. B. Kurtz. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the officers and pub. lished in all the Democratic papers in the County. [Signed by the Officers.] .......osio..—. Post OrFice Ronnenit.—ln the Charles ton Courier, received by the last Southern mail, we find the following letter: WILMINGTON, ;N. C.) Aug. 21. Recent circumstances have made their appearance in so prominent a manner, that not the least doubt remains but there has a robbery of thn Southern mail, perhaps to some extent. The facts, as far as 1 have learned them, are from a person who saw the mail bags, and therefore may be relied on as being correct, as far as they go,— They are as follows: "On the,l9th hist. as some person or per sons were crossing the bridge over the Ro anoke, at Weldon, they perceived a bag, and supposed it to contain meal or something of the kind, and gave notice to that effect to others, one of whom procured a hook and line (the bridge being a considerable distance above the water) and soon fasten ed on to it, but found it so heavy that he could not raise it, until lie had procured the assistance of several negroes. They finally got the bag on the bridge, and found it to contain a quantity of largo stones, and also a smaller bag, and in this small bag were a number of letters and pa pers thoroughly saturated with water.— They were taken up to Weldon and exami ned. The letters had all been opened, and drafts, checks, money &c., extracted there from, as some of the letters clearly Indica ted they contained such. Among them was one directed to Col. R. M. JonNsort, from Alabama. There were also papers among them a Constitutionalist (Auguste) of August 11. "A messenger was forthwith sent on to Washington to make known the circum stance. and to have the matter sifted, which will be done in a few days,aud then you will have the particulars."

The meeting on Monday the 24th ult. was un usually large. Having been called at shorter no. tics than is ordinarily given. and without any in ducement, save the universal feeling, 'a change,' that has found its way into every nook and corner of the land; the people came "as the storm cloud comes in its wrath," laden with onthusiam, ■nd bearing good tidings to us from the whole county. We have rarely heard such cheering amongst us as was exhibited during the speech of the Hon. Charles B. Penrose. All was excite ment. Ant: while that gentleman, in his accus tomed happy and lively manner, adverted at some length to the wrongs we have suffered, and the promised reforms that wore held out to us, each countenance evinced that there were present men who fearlessly and determinately would stem the operations of the monied power-standing-army President. We fear nothing as to the result with us; we honor the old Hero, and will show our gratitude when the day of trial comes.

Mr. Ramsay, volunteer Counsel for Defendants, made a speech with his usual eloquence, perspicuity and discretion,which, notwithstanding the gentlemanly, and judicious speech of Col.

TOR THE STAR AND REPUBLICAN BANNER Mn. Eurrott: Some vrecks ego you published en article relative to the use of "composition" in filling up teeth; the following extract is from the pen uf Dr.Stringfellow, of Baltimore, on the same subject: occasionally meet with teeth which have been filled with en amalgam of lead tin or silver and mercury—disguised under the name of "pat ent paste" or "composition." And of all the methods or preparations for filling the teeth, this is, beyond doubt, the most dangerous and censura ble; for it is trifling with the teeth, the constitu tion and pocket. It enables, however, a certain class of practitioners, to operate at low prices, which is apparently all that some enquire after, who are regardless of the qualifications of the operator." C. A. Harris, M. D. Baltimore, one of the Edi tors of the American Journal of Dental Science, also states "that the rapid oxydation of the various "metallic cements" and "pastes" used for filling teeth, was attrilentable to the galvanic action be tween the metals of which these "amalgams" are composed—and that it should constitute an insu perable objection to their use." Extract of a letter dated livriTmouorr, (Pa.) Aug. 22, 1640. "I congratulate you on the glorious re• sults oft he Western elections. The Whigs here are in fino spirits and are sanguine of carrying the State for "Old Tip." This County (Huntingdon,) will give from 810 jo 1000 majority for Harrison and Tyler. McComiehay had his trial this week for the murder of six poi-roue. It occupied eight days. There were 38 Witnesses against him, and 15 for him. None of the lawyers would defend him . until the; Judges threatened to strike their names from the list. The Court appointed Mr. Bell and Mr. Calvin, but it was at/ uphill business— though they did their best. The jury were out about an hour and returned with a ver• diet of Murder in the first degree. The town was filled with people, and a great deal of excitement prevailed during the trial. ALABAMA lIAB DONE WELL.-ThO Mobile Advertiser of the 18th, has complete returns of the election in this State, which gives the following results compared with 1839: Senate, House of Representatives, Whigs.

North, now stationed at Jefferson Barracks, below that city, have received orders to repair immediately to prairie du Chien. The cause of this sud den movement, it is said, grows out of the conduct of the Winnebago Indians. A short time ago they were removed by Gen. At kinson, to the west side of the Mississippi. Since the troops left they have all returned to their former lands, and refuse to return back to the lands assigned them. It is quite probable that some difficulty may yet grow out of the unwillingness of some of the Chiefs to migrate. The Republican adds:—The Eighth was ordered tdJeffarson Barracks to recruit be. fore going to Florida. We understand that a large number of them are on the sick list. They have had but little time to recover from the fatigues they have lately under. gone in the North, removing these same Indians. Straban tp.

They were so much injured that Gov. Dudley returned them in order that fresh copies might be sent. This was instantly done by our Senators, and their resignations are now in the archives of the State, where they will remain until the Legislature meets. Our Senators notified the Governor that they had retained copies of their letters for publication. Accordingly, they appeared in the Van Buren organ of this city, almost simultaneously with their receipt at the Executive office. The object was evident ly to make a direct appeal to the people, and get up an excitement, under the effects of which, it was hoped the State might be car ried for Van Buren. But it was no go.— The bantling of our Senators fell still born; and oh! the ungratefulness of party, their former admirers are now charging Messrs.

A friend has communicated the following particulars in connexion with this wedding, which he assures us are correct; Mina Bond is a warm Harrison woman. Mr. Provini addressed her, but she would'nt consent to say yes, until he declared for Harrison. He hesitated. Assoon us the news of the Buck eye Blacksmith's arrival in this section was announced, the young lady prevailed on Mr. P. to go and hear him—a party of their friends were made up—they drove to Potts ville on Thursday last to hear _Mr. Bear, and the "Documents" which lie produced wrought so strong a convictiop on the mind of Mr. P. that he declared fOr Itanaxsori, and she declared for PROVINS on the spot. They were married the same evening—Mr. Bear drank their health—advised them to build a "Log Cabin" immediately—and a more happy couple have never been seen in our borough. So much for Mr. Bear and his "Documents." Long may they live in this Land of Liberty to support the good cause.—Miners Jour.
