- A Week or two since the "Compiler"
contained a biography or the loco Coco can•
diddles, which though it furnished us with
their avocations, omitted' their qualifica
tions. The people being mote Interested
in the latter than the former. we shall ere
deavur to ascertain them. This we are
aware may be difficult, in es much as it is
hard "to extract blood from a turnip," or
"sunbeams out of cucumber." - As Mr.
Taughinbaugh seems to be the main
man we shall begin with him; and we hope
we shall "not intrude," if' we ask what
evidence he has ever furnished of such
qualifications as would'fit him to represent
the people of Adams county either profitably
or creditably?
He bas been Sheriff' it is true; but where•
in has he, ever shown that he possessed a
knowledge of the affairs of the Common
wealth and its multifarious and diversified
interests. Ask him, to-day, as to its re
sources and the best means of developing
them, and you will find that he knows less
about them than many a school boy of
twelve years old. Is this the kind of men
to legislate for the farmers and tax payers of
Adams county? Is this the kind of man to
represent an intelligent constituency? It'
alfolds us no pleasure to prove that Mr.
Taughinbaugh is not qualified for the station
which he seeks; but it is a duty which we
owe to the people to show that he is want
ing in all that kind of knowledge which
would make him usefutd to them. If Mr.
Taughinbaugh were elected he would not I
be able to frame the simplest law which his
constituents might need. It does not, it is
true, require a lawyer to frame every ne
cessary- law. There aro hundreds of far
mers and mechanics in Adams county who
can do it just ati'well. But they are such
as have stored their minds "with knowledge,
and qualified themselves by reading, for the
performance of duties of this kind. Has
Mr. Taughinbaugh done this? No man
who has ever conversed with him for five
minutes would be hardy enough to say so; it
would be really unkind to Mr. Taughin
baugh himself, to place him in a - situation
where he would be exposed to mortification
on account of his want of information. At
this crisis, when the State is burthened with
a debt of $35,000,000, and the party In
power has resorted to direct taxation, in
stead of demanding from tho General Gov
ernment a distribution of the sales of the
public lands, it behoves the people, it they
value their own interests, to elect represen
tatives in favor of this measure, and who.
possess ability to advocate it. Mr. Taugh
inbaugh, like the rest of his party, is oppo
sed to it, and would vote against instructing
our Senators in Congress to support a law
for that purpose. He is also in favor of the
Sub-Treasury, though we very much doubt
whether he could tell his reasons for being
so. Can the farmers, mechanics and label
ring Men of •the county support an advocate
of the Sub-Treasury policy? Mr. Taughin
baugh is in favor of an exclusive metallic
currency, or, he is in favor of a gold and
silver currency for the Government, and a
paper currencyfar the people. If he is in
favor of the Sub-Treasury and an exclusive
metallic currency,.then he is in favor of re
ducing the price of property, and desires
that the former should toil all the year, and
sell hie wheat for twenty five or thirty cents
a bushel; his corn and rye for twelve or
fifteen cents and his oats for six or eight
cents. He is also in favor of reducing the
wages of the laborer to twelve or fifteen
cents per day. Will he deny this? If he
is in favor of the Sub-Treasury and an ex
clusive metallic currency, we will prove
that he is in fever of reducing the price of
grain, the wages of the laborer, and all kinds
of property. Two thirds of the whole
amount of money is the country, is paper
money. This is based upon tho specie,
and property which is convertible into mo
ney, in the markets of other countries. Mr.
Taughinbaugh is for abolishing all paper
money. Suppose he succeeds; what is the
consequence? Why, that there will be only
one third of the money which now exists,
to pertormrthe business of the country; and
of course all kinds of property, produce and
wages must fall to one third of their present
price, because there is but one third as
much money to pay for the property, pro
educe and wages as there was before all the
paper money was abolished. This is easily
understood; for every body knows that to
reduce the quantity of money in the coun
try to one third of its present amount, would
have the effect of making money scarce;
and that when money is scarce, property,
produce and wages must fall. 'l'he opposite
of this is also true, namely, when money is
plenty, property, produce and labor com
mand a good price. Mr. Taughir.baugh,
being for the Sub. Treasury, is for making
money scarce, by striking all paper money
from existence; for thirsis the object, and will
be the effect of the Sub-Treasury scheme.
But suppose! (although it is folly to sup
pose the Sub-Treasury law will not
drive all "
,paper money from circulation;
does Mr. reughinbaugh, as its advocate,
stand any better before the people, or in he
rendered worthier of their support? If he
is in favor of the existence of paper money,
for whom does he desire that it should con.
time to exist? Not for the Government;
for after the thirtieth of June 1843. by the
pis:Wilkes of the Sub-Treasury law, the
government wilt receive nothing but gold
and silver filr any purpose whatever. If
~ be-is in favor of the existence Of paper me
riey, it must be for the use of the people, for
~, e re have shown that the government will
not take a cent of it. If this be an, Mr.
Taughinbaugh is rather kinder to the gov
ernment than ho is to the people; for he
would give it specie, and the people rage.
And if the government has the specie, asst ;
will have, the paper will be but little better
then. rags; for the specie foundation which
makes the paper good, will ba abstracted
and locked up in the coffers of the office
holders. Now those who are in favor of
such a state of things, namely, specie , for
the office holders and rags for the pe4le,
should support Mr. Taugbinbaugh. His
party has already brought abqut such. a etate
of things by their tinkering' with' the cur
rency. The country was in the possession
o f a good one, when his party came into
power; now it is afflicted with one which is
utterly worthless.
But if Mr. Taughinbaugh lacks knowl
edge to qualify him for a legislator; he
possesses faculties which render him valu
able as a partizan; and we venture to say
that there is not a Jannissary in the ranks
of his party, that has more thoroughly ful.
[tiled the doctrines of Amos Kendall, com
municated through the Extra Globe, to
charge upon Gen. Harrison the offences
which he and hie coadjutors in defamation,
had invented ar.d put in circulation. There
is no charge which this malevolent libeller
has originated _against that generous and
brave old man, who, in the language of
James Madison, "has done more for his
country and received less for services than
any man living," which Mr. Taughinbaugh
has not industriously propagated and enfor
ced. The charges of "white slavery," and
"abolition," inconsistent as they are with
one another: the charges of "cowardice"
and "imbecility," although contradicted by
every page of history; the charge of being
shut up in a "cage," under the serveilance
of a committee of conscience keepers; the
charge that he was presented with a "petti
coat" by the ladies of Chillicothe, and all
the other slanders which have been invented
against him, have found in William Taugh
iribaugh, an industrious and persevering
propagator. For the advancement of his
party, he has slandered and traduced Gen.
Harrison, who was fighting the battles of
his country while he Mr. Taughinbaugh,
was yet a child in years, as he is yet in
knowledge. And yet, this man, who has
abused and vilified the bravo old soldier
whose life was so often exposed in defence
of his country, has the hardihood to expect
and say that he will receive a considerable
number of Harrison votes! Mr. Taughin
baugh, you are known. When you were
elected Sheriff, you and your friends decla
red,that you did not thank the friends ofGen.
Harrison for your election; and forthwith
you put yourself under the direction of the
leaders of "your party" in Gettysburg, and
exhibited your devotion to them, even in
the administration of your office. Think
you then, that the friends of Gen. Harrison
will vote for you now, even if you were fit
to represent them? No, sir; they will not
endorse the slanders which you have circu
lated against their candidate, by voting for
you. They will rebuke you, as you ought
to bo rebuked, for lending yourself to de
' acne a man who has done so much-for his
country, as Gen. Harrison.
Of- Mr. Reify, we have only to say, that
he is possessed of but little better qualifica
tions than Mr. Taughinbaugh. He is a.
vain and empty man; full of conceit, and
puffed up with an exalted notion of himself;
otherwise, we believe, that as a private
citizen, he is esteemed a clever man. But
he is a violent partizan, who denounces his
opponents in the most unmeasured terms,
he is one of the loudest and most reckless
traducers of Gen. Harrison. He is inlayer
of the Sub• Treasury and low wages; and
opposed to a distribution of the proceeds of
the public lands amongst the States. The
people, therefore, in justice to their own in
terests will vote against him.
The competitors of Messrs. Taughin
baugh and Kelly, are Daniel M. Smyser
and George L. Fauss. These gentlemen
are well qualified to represent the people of
Adams county in the Legislature. They
are both thoroughly acquainted with the
interests of the commonwealth, and possess
ed of ability to defend them if they should
I e assailed. Mr. Smyser represented this
county, ably and faithfully, in the last Le
gislature, and his speech on the apportion
ment bill, proved with what ability he could
defend the constitution and the rights of his
constituents. Mr. Smyser and his colleague
Mr. Fauss, are both in favor of a protective
Tariff, the great measure by which a sure
market and good prices are to be secured
for the products of our farmers and "good
wages for labor. This measure will also
produce a revenue which will defray the
expenses of the government, without resort
ing to direct taxation. They are also in
favor of distributing the proceeds of the sales
of public lands amongst the States, by which
Pennsylvania would receive for her share,
more than $100,060.000, which would en
able us to pay off our enormous Slate debt,
repeal the direct tax law passed by the last
Legislature, nod free the people of the corn
. monwenith from the burthen of taxes for all
time to come. They are also opposed to
the Sub-Treasury and a Standing Army,
and will vote in the Legislature, to instruct
our senators and representatives in Con-
gress, to repeal the Sub Treasury, and vote
against raising a Standing Army 0f200,000
men, as proposed by the Secretary of War,
and recommended by Mr. Van Buren.—
But the 'Compiler" says, that although
they are opposed to these odious measures,
the one is a lawyer and the other a doctor!
Horrible Crime! And so, according to the
Compiler's reasoning, it would. be better to
vote for Mr. Taughinhaeigh, ex• Sheriff, and
now gentleman of leisure, and Mr. Reily,
who are in favor of these measures, than to
vote for Messrs. Smyser and Faun, who
are opposed to them! This is about as wise
as to say that it would be better for the
sick man to take poison from a doctor than
medicine which would cure him from a
farmer. But we shalt not insult the people
by supposing that they care what is the
calling of their representatives, so that they
ate honest, faithful and capable. Messrs.
Sniper and Fauss, are supporters of Gen.
Harrison, and in favor of the great measures
of policy which will restore prosperity to
the country, and bring relief to the people,
who have so long suffered from the wretch
ed experiments of the General and State
'administrations. Go to the polls and vote
for them, and thus rebuke the slanderqrs of
Gen. Harrioon, and those who have so long
deceived the people by promises of • , better
currency," which have resulted in the most
worthless rag currency that ever afflicted
any. ; people. OXFORD.

Tax Ticket'
In the Standing Army and Tax organ
of the 22nd ult., some impertinent quill dri'
ver, who has more impudence than brains,
has made an effort to palm off upon the in.
telligent freemen of Adams, the loco foco
ticket, as that most entitled to their support.
This hypocritical, canting knave, like all
the Jacobins cf that foul and corrupt party,
presumes that by raising the cry of "The
Farmer Ticket," he can gull the honest
and intelligent yeomanry into the support
of those principkis that have brought our
prosperous country to the threshhold. of
bankruptcy and ruin. Vain presumption
to "lay the flattering unction to his soul,"
that he can induce them to abandon their
long cherished principles, and support the
most corrupt, profligate and abandoned
party, that ever disgraced any government.
Where was their pretended love for the
farmer, when they villifled and opposed our
late worthy farmer Governor, and rallied
en mane under the banner of Lawyer
Porter?
But the Hon. Judge, life office holding
Doctor Sheffer, is said to be a firmer. An
excellent farmer all will be ready to admit;
he has farmed the public to some service.
But was it the service the patriot renders
his country? No. It was' to himself ho
rendered the service. He sat urn the
bench some twenty years, for which he an
nually pocketed a round sum of the people's
money, for doing just nothing at all. Next
by some accident he was sent to Congress,
a station fur which no one seriously preten
ded he was qualified; then, when the honest
farmers of Franklin and Adams, no longer
required his services, they gave him leave
of absence: honest lawyer David the farm
er, took compassion upon him and said,
is hard for you, who, from your youth up,
have lived upon the public money, now in
your old age to be cast aside.' He then
appointed him an appraiser of damages upon
the public works. And this same farmer
doctor and judge, is now again before you
as a candidate for Congress, soliciting your
votes! Doctor Sheffer is a man in affluent
circumstances, and if he farm at all, it is
either for amusement, or, becasue he is too
penurious to employ a laborer. I venture
to assert, without fear of contradiction, that
Doctor Sheffer has received more public
money, and rendered less actual public ser
vice, than any public man in Adams county.
Next in order comes Wm. Taiighin
baugh, Esq. as a candidate for legislative
honors and emoluments, late high sheriff of
Adams county, and contractor on the rail
road to avoid the inclined plane at Colum
bia. He is a federal loco foco, , who is any
thin and every thing to secure an election,
as was so strikingly exemplified by 'his con
duct when a candidate for sheriff. He was
an abolitionist and an anti-abolitionist, a
party man and a no party man, just as tiest
served his own purposes; but, no sooner had
he attained the object of his ambition, thiiri
he manifested the most rancorous and un
compromising hostility to the party to which
he was indebted for his elevation; his elec
tion was claimed as a party triumph, he
spurned the idea of owing his election to
the party to which an appeal is now again
made for support; a near relative, when
both Whigs and Locos were assembled to
congiatulate him or. his success,' remarked
that he had no occasion to thank the higs
and Antimasons for his election, and now
the same party to which he belongs, has
the unblushing impudenee to call upon us
for aid.
Like firmer Sheffer, the doctor, he has
fed bounteously at the public crib, to the tune
of thousands.
But if, this is the same Taughinbaugh,
who, in the doubtful contest for Governor in
'32, between Wolf and Ritner, when the
tide of victory eventually turned in favor of
tho former, upon learning the remit, made
a bet of a lot of leather with one of the most
worthy men in the county of Adams, who
was not informed of the result; I would ask
any) man whether he is an honorable man?
If he be the same, for I do not profess posi
tively to know, (Berwick township can an•
ewer) can he have the unblushing effrontery
to ask the suffrages of honorable and - h;gh
minded men, who have been thus treated
by him, for an office, for which such an act
alone would render him unfit? He has vii.
hfied the party whose support he now asks,
perhaps. more than any other man in the
county. Will the friends of Gen. Harrison
support him? No.
Next comes that modest young man, just
cleverly out of his teens, Henry Roily,
whose sole merit appeare to consist in being
a farmer. He is not much known, but is
of course a rabid loco foco, who would, like
sheriff Taughinbaugh, like to have the votes
of the democrats just so as to elect him, and
then turn round and say, "I do oot thank you
for your votes." Now farmer Reily is here
represented with sheriff Taughinbaugh as
a man who would not waste the time of
the House in useless discussion for political
effect. If report be true, Mr. Reilly pre•
somas largely upon his oratorical powers.
and is just the man who would consume the
time of the House to no purpose, and make
himself ridiculous by his •elf-supposed great
ness. He is, I believe, the same modest
young gentleman, who some time since
made a speech in the Court house, the
words of which were of such "learned
length and thundering sound," that the
Court house could not contain them, and
got into such a snarl that it is doubtful
whether some will ever be unravelled.
Such are the men end such the prin i ci•
pies, into the support of which, the henest
and intelligent farmers of Adam , are ir.
vain attempted to be gulled by the last ef
fort of an expiring faction, characterized by
a degree of corruption, profligacy and ex
travagance, unparalleled in the history of
any goverment.
The indignant freemen will rise in their
majesty, on the second Tuesday of October
next, and speak in a voice of thunder that
will make the speillmen tremble, and 'so

A FAUBISIt OF MENALLEN TO%VIVSTIIP.
TOR rug lITAR AND REPUBLICAN BANNER
To Dr. Daniel Sheffer.
Stn:—You sometime since wrote a letter
01 one of the undersirappers of Amos Ken
dall at Fayetteville, Franklin County, con
taining sundry enquiries, which I will an
swer; I will then propose in turn a few,
which I hope you will answer. •
You wished to know,-in the first place,
what effect the Wayneeborough meeting
would produce in this county. I will state
for your information, though I fear not for
your comfort, that it has blasted the pros
pects of your party in Franklin; and that
the darling measures of Mr. Van Buren's
administration, the Sub Treasury and Stan
ding Army schemes, of which you are so
warm an advocate, are odious to the free
men of this county. You alio desired,
though not in so many words, to be inform
ed as to the probable amount of your ma
jority in this county, if you should be the
Sub Treasury &Standing Army candidate.
I know you have a moat patriotic desire to
be in the receipt of the congressional per
diem; and am therefore sorry to inform
you, that Franklin county will give your
opponent, James Cooper, at least 300 of a
majority. I would not have you bet that
it will not be more. The fact that you are
in favor of the Sub-Treasury and Standing
Army is turning every body against you.
Yod likewise desired to know in what
manner your opponent distributed his
speeches anddocuments;—whother amongst
his political friends or opponents? On this
point,' I am also happy that I can furnish
you with the information required. In
the distribution of documents die. he was
not governed by party views, but sent
them, indiscriminately, to men of both po.
litice.l parties. I have been informed, how.
ever, that in many places, the documents
and speeches, transmitted to your political
friends, were suppressed by this Post Mas•
tau-8,1 presume, in pursuance to instructions
from your friend Amos Kendall. This was
not the case here.
I have now answered the enquires con
tained in your letter; and will be obliged
to you for information on the following
subjects:
You have told several of your neighbors,
if t have been rightly informed, that Gen.
Harrison voted (or a law to sell white men
and women, as slaves for debt. W ill you
be good enough to let me know whether
you really believed what you said when you
made this allegation? if you really believ
ed tho charge which you mado,.you may
escape the imputation of being a knave;
but you will hardly be able to make an in•
telligent people believe, that you are fit to
represent them in Congress, afler the be
trayal of Such inexcusable ignoranee. The
,alternative for you, is, to admit that you
are a knave or an ass. You can make y.ur
own choice.
You have also declared to sundry persona
that Gen. Harrison was a coward and never
in a battle in his life. lam sorry you did
not learn law enough in the twenty years
you were a judge, to know that the testimo
ny of an interested witness would not be
received to discredit the evidence of impel..
tial men, standing indifferent between the
parties. It is generally conceded that your
intellect is somewhat obtuse; but I am
sorry to find that in searching after truth,
it always leads you to conclude in favor of
falsehood. This is very unfortunate, and
may cause people who do not know you to
suppose that you are naturally averse to the
truth. Be good enough to furnish me with
the evidence you have of Gen. Harrison's
cowardice.
You have, on several occasions asserted
that Gen. Harrison was shut up in a cage,
under the guardianship of a committee, and
that he refused to make the people acquain
ted with his sentiments on the great ques
tions of public concernment. I will not
ask you, on what questions of public im
portance you are ignorant of Gen. Harri
son's sentiments and opinions, for your
ignorance seems to be general on all subjects
connected with him. I will, however, ven
ture to ask you, on what great subject, the
American people are ignorant of his senti
mental Name it, and I will forthwith ex
hibit hissentiments upon it, in such broad
and bold relief, that even you cannot fail to
understand them.
I have understood that you found fault
with your neighbors for marching in pro
cession and raising a liberty pole in your
village, and that you denounced their con
duct as "ridiculous and disgraceful." Did
you or did you not, pronounce the conduct
of your neighbors, on the occasion referred
to "r-id:ctdous and disgrace full" To this
question, I hope you will return me a speedy
answer. lam but slightly acquainted with
the citizens of Petersburg, and know noth
ing of the proceedings, which you 'charac
terized as "ridiculous and disgraceful;" but
I have been informed by those who know
them well, that they are as high minded
and intelligent as live in the State of Penn
sylvania, I shall therefore wait anxiously,
until I hear from you. what conduct on
their part.justified you in pronouncing their
proceedings "ridiculous and disgraceful."
I have learned from other quarters, that
they are an order-loving, law-abiding peo
ple,or I would entertain some fears lest they
might annoy you by making noises which
might "disturb your children" as Amos
Kendall's were disturbed by the celebration
of Harrison victories. I wouldn't be surpri
sed if ,these "ridiculous and disgraceful"
fellows were to vote for your competitor in
the first place, and celebrate his election by
raising bonfires. or, some other "ridiculous
and disgraceful" proceeding in the second.
Let me hear from you at your earliest
leisure.

FELLOW-CITIZENS:
This is probably the last time we shall have en
opportunity of addressing you until after the elec
tion of the 13th. We therefore say to yolk be
vigilant. Let politics be your businese'from now
until the election. The eyes of the wheel cents
try are turned on Pennsylvania in anxious expec
tation. Do nut disappoint the hopes of our friends
in other States. In Pennsylvania Hardison was
first named for the Presidency. The influence of
Pennsylvania gave him the nomination in the ,
great National convention in December last.—
Will she not also give him her vote We will
not . permit ourselves to doubt it.
• But in order to give the vote of Pennsylvania
to Gen. Harrison, exertion is requisite in every
county, in every township, now and on the day
of election. Fellow-citizens will you fail to make
that exertion? If you feel a disposition to leave
exertion to others, look for a moment at the con
dition of the country—at industry prostrated,
prosperity blighted, • the currency destroyed, all
by the mad and wicked experiments of our rulers,
and you will be stimulated to a proper effort to
secure the election of the Harrison ticket. If you
4o not find in this condition•of things motive for
exertion, cast your oyes on the prospect before
you; a prospect full of gloom, and extending in
its consequences beyond your own time and reach
ing your children, and you will surely feel the
obligation to be active and vigilant. Fail not to
be so. Fail not as you value the prosperity of
your country, now and for the future. Veil not
as you value the permanency of constitutional
freedom, so often violated by the party in power.
Fail not if you desire the happiness and security
of your children. Fail not if you regard the pro
valence of virtue; forall are threatened by the arbi
trary and unprincipled schemes of the National
Administration. Through the instrumentality of
the Sub Treasury it has seized upon the money of
the people; and in addition to this, the President
asks for the establishment of a Standing Army of
200,000 men. What do these measures portend?
Can the patriot contemplate them, and not trem
ble for the liberties of the country? What has
the existence of such power as the President poa•
senses and asks for, always produced! Despotism
in every country upon the face of the earth,
wherever it has existed. But we will stop. The
very time that is consumed in reading this article
should be spent in exertion. Go forth now. See
your neighbor. Tell him to see his; urge him to
go to the election. Tell him its importance. Lot
no man stay at home. if your neighbor has not
a way to go, provide a way for him. Let no
man have an excuse for staying at home. Much
too, may be done at the polls; let not your exer
tions cease until they pro of no further avail, and
then, if after all, your exertions shall have proved
fruitless, you will have the proud completion of
knowing that you did your whole dtity. Allow
u■ once more, to say to ano and all, go to the polls
and vote the whole ticket.
BEWARE OF VILLAINY!
There is a plan on foot, by which the lan nG
0 i hope to defeat part of nur ticket. But to be
°forewarned is to ho forearmed," and thus Loco
foto knavery will be defeated.
The plan is this. A Locofoco goes to a Harri
son man, and says to him, "if you will vote Shef
fer for Congress, I will vote Smyser or Faust!, .1-
both for . . Assembly;" or, "if you will vote for
Taughinbaugh for Assembly, I will vote Cooper
far Congress." To others, these knaves hive
made other propositions; for instance they say,
if you will vote for Taughinbangh, we will vote
for Smyser;" or.where they think it will suit bet
ter, for Fauss. But in all these propositions they
are dishonest; and even if they suceeded in get
ting Harrison men to vote for their candidate,.,
according to their preposition, they would n.
vote as they had proposed, hut would cheat our
friends and vote the whole of their own ticket.-.
That their intention is to cheat, is proved, by the
fact that one of these knaves is known to have
made the same proposition, to, at least ten indi
viduals, after he had made en agreement of this
kind with one of nor friends.
But if there were no reason to apprehend kna
very on the part of our opponent', such a system
of oswlpping," is not only highly injudicious and
mischievous, but wrong in principle. Our candi
dates are the representatives of great principles—
of principles which are the foundation of public
liberty and national prosperity; and to Garter
these principles, in the manner proposed, would
be to endanger the institutions which arc founded
upon them, and from which have flowed both our
security and prosperity.
This plan will be attempted in Petersburg, and
in Straban and Reading townships; but we aro
sure this knavish scheme will find no countenance
from the intelligent and patriotic citizens of these
sections of the county. They will spurn the
knaves who propose it; stick by their owe ticket
and vote it whole.
TUESDAY TEE 13TH.
Every freeman has duty to perform on next
Tuesday, which to leave unperformed would be to
trifle with his own privileges. The right of suf
frage is not only a privilege, but a duty which
every freeman ought to exercise; and never before
in the annals of this country has this duty been
more incumbent on every intelligent citizen.
But the mere performance of this duty by go
ing to the polls and voting yourself is not suffi
cient. It is incumbent on you that you stimulate
your neighbor to do his duty likewise. Between
this and the election, make it your business to see
your neighbor and impress on him the importance
of tho approaching contest—that the Presidential
election which is to take place on the 30th instant
will be affected, if not determined by it. Let no
man be lukewarm in the performance of his duty.
Lot every Harrison man in the county consider
himself a committee of vigilance, and act with as
much energy as if he believed the result of the
election depended on his individual exertions.—
We have a good ticket, composed of capable, faith
ful and fearless men, who will take care of our
interests. Labor not only to elect them, but to
give them such a majority as will speak loud for
the Old Soldier on the 30th of October. ' '
ATEETINGS.
We hope our .friends will not forget to atteno'
the meetings, of which notices will be foundin to
day's paper, at Millerstown and Liberty on Satur
day, and at Heagy's in Cumberland township, on
Thursday night next. Let all who scan, attend._
'rho crisis is important, and well deserves the de
votion of a few hours to our country's interests.
Our.friends in the Borough, will also observe,
that the ..Tippecanoe Club" will meet on Satur
day evening next at the usual place. We trust
there will be a full attendance.
ARE YOU ALL READY ?
Are you ready for the election! Have you
seen your neighbors, and stimulated them to the
performance of their duty! If you have not, do.
it yet. Vigilance is essential to success.•
Have you any neighbor who is unable to walk
to the election? If you have, furnish him-with a
horse. If ho cannot ride on horseback, haul him.
in your wagon. Don't permit his vote to be lost. .
Our enemy is active, and must be met with cones
pondi ctivity. If this is done, victory, a groat
and 1 1:11 victory is ours. We say, therefore,
A ' 017 ALL READY?
•
ONE VOTE..
' •voto is important. One vote would have.
saved old Massachusetts, the cradle of American.
liberty, the disgrace of heing governed by such a.
man as Morton, the present Locofoco Governor..
Let no man neglect to vote. One vole may gain
or loose a member of Congress, or the Legislature..
Remember that, and EVERY MAN VOTE..
AROUSE FREEMEN:
Next Tuesday is the day of trial. Put on your,
armor instantly, nor take it of until the victory
shall have been won. The stake for which we
are about to do battle is no less than that of coil-.
stitutional freedom and the prosperity of the coon-.
try. What patriot will spare exertion when he.
recollects all that ia-at stoke in this contest? If ave.
are victorious, the Constitution so often violated,,
will be renovated, and the prosperity of the coun-.
try .restored. If we should be defeated, any fur-,
they struggle to save the country and the constitu-.
tion will be unavailing.. Other. States may soon.
be compelled to submit t a, fate similar to that of:
New Jersey— to be deprived of the elective Iran-,
chiso, and represented by. tools of the National Ad-_
ministration, chosen. by a. servile Congress. To
the Polls then fellow-cilizens,
one and all to the Polls, and
rescue the country while it is
yet in your power. Oreglect

zed to say, that the above assertirm of the Compi

lives in that oistrict, end was present it the meet

tradiction.
Extra -Pay.-11r. Smyser.
This morning's “Compiler" contains another
attack on this gentleman on the subject of the
Extra pay, which seems to be the only part of his
conduct as our Representative, 'with which the
Lacofocos profess to find fault: and we really, can
not see what quarrel they have with him on thi.
scare, unless it be that ho did not vote for taking
it, and when the resoultion to receive it was car
tied, that he refused to soil bie fingers by keeping
it, but bestowed it on two literary institutions in
our county.
The Compiler infers that because Mr. Smyser.
on the 10th ofJune, voted against dispensing with
the rules for the purpose of proceeding to the'se
tond reading and consideration of Mr. M'Kinney's
'joint resolution, "That the daily pay of the mem
•'bers shall nut be allowed during the temporary
ondjournment," that ho was opposed to the resole.
tion, and in favor of taking the Extra Pay, and
would have voted in favor of it on the final reso
lution (Mr. Crables) had he not been detained out
of the House, by business of his constituents else
where. Now this is a very extraordinary and
untenable conclusion. By the rules of the House
of Representatives, no joint resolution, or Dill can
be read twice on the same day, without:a vote of
two-thirds. The only way to get over this, is by
a motion to suspend the rules, as was done in this
case, which also requires two-thirds. The effect
of suspending the rules in favor of any particular
motion or bill, is to cut off for the day, the action
of the House on all other business, until that pro
portion has been disposed of, and for the day, to
derange the regular order of business. Every
man of any experience in legislation will agree,
that if there is any value in rules, they should be
observed, and only departed from in extraordinary
cases. A contrary practice would lead to endless
confusion. Now, in this wholesome principle of
conforming to the rules adopted by the body of
which he was a member, for their government,
and an unwillingness, probably, to have other
business equally important thrown back and cut
out of its place, we see quite as rational an expia
tion of Mr. Smyser's vote on this occasion, as that
furnished by the Compiler.
The proposition, it was well known, was one
that would excite debate and consume time—a
mendments would bo offi.reil, and all the machin
ery of parliamentary tactics be brought into play.
Such was the case finally, and such had been the
case when on 18th May, but a few days after the
commencement of the extra session, a similar mo
tion was made by Mr. M'Kinney; nhich after a
whole day had been consumed by the members in
disputing about their paltry per diem, whilst the
improvement and Revenue bills and all the other
linsiness which formed the pretext of the Govern
or for calling that session, were at a stand still,
was finally referred to the Committee on Accounts.
On that occasion,, as wildly seen by a reference to
page 1072 of the first volume of the Journal of
the House, an ineffectual effort was made by Mr.
Snigger, to cut short the premature agitation . Of
this question to the neglect of the-other and more
important business of the House, by a motion for
-indefinite postponement. Failing in this, we then'
find him, see page 1073 of the Journal, voting in
favor of the following amendment offered by Mr.
Nill of Franklin, viz:
To amend,the same, by striking there
from all that follows the word "Resolution,"
and inserting in lieu thereof these words:
4.8 y the Senate and House of Representa
tives, that the members of the Legislature
shall not receive per diem allowance frcim
the adjournment on the 17th day of April
last, until the 12th day of May. 1840; nor
shall they receive mileage for going to
Harrisburg and returing to their several
places of abode."
And on the question—Will the House
agree so to amend?
The yeas and nays were required by
Mr. Zeilin and Mr. George, and ere as
follows, viz: ,
YEAS.—Messrs. Albright, • ' .n,
Baily, Barstow, Benner, Bonsai
head, Bruner, Cassel, Church, Col •
Cox, Crabb, Field, Filbert, Fish , n
nary, Flenniken, Flick, Fogel, Ford,
George, Graham, Gratz, Griffin, Griffiths,
Hartshorn, Hegins of Northumberland,
Higgins, of Huntingdon, Henderson, Herr,
Hill, Hinchman, Hoge of Mercer, Holmes,
Hottenstein, Hummel, Johnston, Jones,
Kauttman, Keim, Kinzel, Kutz, Law, Lee,
Leidy, Loy, Lyrins, M'Clure, M•Kinstry,
Morgan, Nill, Park, Penniman of Alleghe.
ny, Penrose, Ritter, Roberts, Schooner,
Smith, Smyser, Snodgrass, Snowden, Sny
der, Stickel, Strohecker, Wilson, Zeldin,
and Zimmerman-69.
N AYS.— Messrs. Andrews, Butler, Car
others, Conlbaugh, Darsie, Goodwin, Ham•
lin; Helffenstein, Henry, Hoge, of Greene,
Hutchins, Lova, M'Dowell. Morrison, Mor
ton, Penniman of Philadelphia, Sprott, Wil
cox, and Hopkins, Speaker-19.
So the question was determined in the
affirmative.
But, the Compiler asks, "why lift the Extra
pay at all, if he did not consider' himself entitled
to it'!" Simply, we presume, because if he bed
refused to do so, and had left it in the State Tree
cury, it would not thereby have become the prop
erty of the State, but would have remained there
iubjcct at any time, to his draft, es an undrawn
appropriation. Thus it would have been useless
to the State, to his immediate constituents and to
himself. In taking it, after a majority of the
House composed two•thirds of Von Buren men,
had voted to give it, he can not be suspected of
any sordid motive, even if he were not otherwise
above such an imputation. His prompt declara
tion of his determination not to keep it. but to ap
ply it to some purpose of utility within the county,
made a few days after his return home to Messrs.
banner, Harper, RUssell and others, and his sub
sequent fulfilment of that intention as expresied,
fully and honorably acquits him of such a purpose:
“But," says the_ Compiler, "political capital
might be made of it by bestowing it to some insti
tution, and then it would gut into the papers and
he "noised uhniit," and then the member might
make a bobby of the contribution in cue he was
elpin a candidate;'
In reply to this, WO aru authorized by Mr. HAI.
!Mt to say, that the publication in the papers, of
Mr. Smyser's munificent donation, was not made
at his instance or request: but was selecteJ by Mr.
Harper (of the Sentinel) who is the Treasurer of
one of the Institutions to which the money was
applied, of his own accord, as a suitable and con.
venient mode of acknowledgement, for which, we
presume, ho is not responsible to the editors of the
Compiler, or any ono else.
False Charges Refuted.
Mr. Enzroin—rSlanderous reports fiaving ob
tained circulation by some ill-designing persons
of the Van Duren party, relative to a letter which
was received by me, from .my brother residing in
Ohio, purporting to convey an impression that the
letter contained a request for me to write respect
ing any' changes in the party, and if any were
known, to exaggerate them as much as possible;
that is, if there was one change, to state 10, and if
there were 10 to state 100: and such reports hav
ing been brought into notice by Doctor Sheffer of
Petersburg, and his political agent, Henry -Bittin
ger, (the latter having acknowledged to me that
he had been Instrumental in circulating such
charges,) I herewith present to the public, a ver
batitn extract of said letter, now in my posses.
sion, which can be perused at any time by any
person wishing to see it:
"By all means write, if you find one sin•
ale man changed from Van to Harrison,
there is 10, write, or 100, so as to inform
me of the changes."
