REPUBLICAN BANNER FOR THE SITAR AND ➢!PUBLICAN BANNICR. We moat cordially congratulate our fellow citizens on the opening, and increasing prospects of a most glorious and brilliant victory; we can not restrain our exultation nor avoid thus felicita ting our Whig brethren, upon the cheering and exhilarating tidings of the progress, and success of the friends of the Old Hero of Tippecanoe. The accumulation of testimony in favor of our cause has crowded upon us from every quarter. The friends of order and reform have eronfronted the thoughtless, interested and infatuated adhe rents of Martin Van Buren—the genuine light of truth has been diffused abroad, and in defiance of the formidable phalanx, that has been so exten sively and zealously paraded against us, our cause is onward; victory after victory, in rapid succession, loudly proclaims that the day of deliv. erance is speedily approaching. The records history give light and knowledge, and present strong and glowing colours admonitory lessons the danger and evil of bestowing on mart to ,much power. The people are acknowledged to be eovereig yet their representatives are illegally and unrigh oously debarred seats in the Legislature and Co gress, and their places wickedly and unblus ingly seized by a monoplizing party; and th same ruthless party with the most untiring effur endeavouring to establish an undue authorit and power in the hands of Martin Van BUre for their own individual emolument, and all under the spurious garb of Democracy. Heretofore our political institutions did concen l trete to a focus the admiring, gazing eyes of sur rounding nations: ■nd America the native soil of liberty; the asylum of the , oppressed; the dread of tyrants, and the hope of the world, had dis played in her official element, all that - is great and noble in human nature. But ales, the plea. sing and rapturing gaze of the patriot has been obscured, by permitting a proud aristocratic dan dy to preside in the honored and sacred chair of a Wf.4,ington and a Jefferson, and by thus intro ducing corruption into the fountain, it has poured a desolating and poisonous influence through eve ry department of the present administration: as the prophet says, "The whole head is sick, the whole heart is faint": from the President down to the most menial office holder. We have an irreconcilable dislike to every thing that serves to feed the pride of man, or to any thing that would be calculated to continuo Martin Van Buren's belief that be is a peculiarly conse quential being—a rare bird upon earth; and con sequently we fully intend to send him home to Kinderhook, in the year 1841. The honored, brave, and patriotic William Henry Harrison is destined to buret the shackles of despotism; un mask the sycophantic pretenders of Democracy; and restore our hitherto happy country to its pris tine prosperity and glory. From the unanimity and harmony of the genuine friends of Democ racy, we feel no hesitancy in asserting that their triumph will be complete. Under those propitious circumstances: with such extensive unanimity of sentiment, end effort, permit me again to congrat ulate the friends of Reform, and the whole Whig fraternity. 'We should stand firm; shoulder to shoulder, and sustain with fidelity, dignity, and undeviating perseverance, the invaluable blessings and privileges, bestowed on us by the wisdom and blood of our venerable fathers. Let no individual in the pursuit of the ignia faluus of personal emolument or tante, commit the glorious cause to censure and degradation, but let the general weal, rise paramount to all minor considerations. We aro fully sensible, that notwithstanding the aston ishing triumphs of our cause, we are not to relax in honorable effort, for we have still to conflict with a host of mercenary, monopolizing, and de termined opponents. But notwithstanding this formidable opposition, and array of battle, there is not any thing more certain in the usual routine of human events, than that the victorious march of the Hero of the Thames has produced, and will still continue to produce, a strong and uncontrola ble reaction on public opinion, and will secure in the issue a general and perfect triumph. We again reiterate the sentiment, that Whig princi ples require of every Whig what Lord Nelson required in the motto drawn on his pendant, at the Battle of Trafalgar, "England expects , every man to do his duty." Let us'endeavor to resist aspirants for exclusive privileges; and oppose with manly firmness those aristocratical associa tions that tend even remotely to jeopardize the equal rights and privileges , of our free and inde pendent community, until the shackles of the oppressor be shaken from every limb, and no ves tige of tyranny remain unscathed by the prowess of freedom's brawny arm. To you, Columbia looks to rescue her from despotism! To you, she appeals to adopt measures to infuse new energy through all the ranks of her friends, and to urge effective measures to give permanency to her in stitutions, and increase the progress of the cause, beyond the control of the evil devices, malignant machinations, and persecuting zeal of our merce nary opponents. Did you not hear a few days since the savage yell,of slander on our honored and talented candidste for Congress? Do you not perceive that this filthy disease, slander, is epi demic, and prevails to an alarming degree among our opponents! Mark! hosi signally their elan dere were refuted by the ballots of his indignant constituents. It has recoiled • upon their own heads and resulted in the triumphant election of our talented fellow-citizsn. So will it be with the imbecile slang which has been circulated against Wm. H. Harrison, the Cincinatua of the ,Western Hemisphere, and the President of the United States of America in the year 1841. The eyes of the community are opening to behold GETTTSBIIII.O. October 27, 1840. more intensely this great luminary—repeated demonstrations of this fact are being prochimel from every State in the Union. The American people are convinced that his moral, civil and po litical worth aro not delusive, that his services are no phantom, nor his claim upon their confidence a shadow, but, that his all commanding moral ex cellence, end patriotic services are appreciated by hia fellow-citizens, which is evidently marked by numerous accessions to the list of his advoeates, and the still increasing, unsh■ken confidence in his being the man alone prepared and qualified to preside over the high destinies of our great republic. MORDECAI. Molts VIOLENCE.—Extract of a letter, dated CmcnmATr, Oct. 1, 1840. A tremendous excitement prevails in the city in regard to a disturbance which took place about an hour ago, [ten o'clock at night.] The Whigs seemingly of all crea tion held a meeting here to day. All places of business were closed, and an immense procession, which commenced in the mor ning at eight o'clock, was held. Old T.p, Governors Metcalf, Poindexter, %Vicki:ire, Moorehead, &c., were the speakers. This evening, an immense crowd of ladies and tentlemen assembled in front of the Huron ouse, where I stop. While Mr. Graves of Kentucky, was speaking from the Por tico, the meeting was broken up by a num ber of Loco-focos, and ended in a general fight. Brickbats, clubs, sword canes, Bow ie knives, pistols, &c. were used. Several have been badly hurt, some of whom have just been brought in the house, and there are all sorts of reports flying. I saw sev eral pistols fired from my room window ;in the third story. Old Tip takes the stage for Pennsylva nia to•morrow morning. So it is likely he will bo with you before the electioa. "What dd you think of the news from Maine?" enquired a Whig of a Loco Foco. 0 0h1 it's just as I expected! We did'nt hope to carry Maine" "In deed!—What State do you expect to carry?" "To be can did with you, it is my opinion that we are sure of no State, but the Slate of retiracy. —Detroit Advertiser One of the best replies to the brawlers about Gen Harrison's vote to dispose tem porarily the services of convicts, is the following from the N. Y. Courier and En gull er. "SELLING WHITE MEN INTO SLAVEHT." —The most amusing humbug which the administration is circulating against Harri son is that of "Selling white men into sla very." The class of voters that this is in , tended to operate among must be convicts. It may affect the feelings of the friends of the Evening Post, in the city prison. The selling into slavery was permission to work out fines for criminal offences in labor on the highwa3 : just ns men are here "sold in to slavery" to hammer stone at the State Prison. Instead ofeducating them to trades in the State Prison, and thus making a State monopoly in important branches of industry, to the great detiiment of home mechanic; the law referred to 'kept them at work on the roads. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GUILT. —At a recent Whig meeting in Southampton, Va., Mr. Botts, tho able and faithful representa tive from the Richmond District, addressed the meeting in a speech of great vigor and efilct. Among other things,Mr. Botts as serted and appealed to Mr. Ligh, who was present, for the truth of his assertion, "that John W, Jones of Virginia—the file leader of the Tory party in Congress, acknowledg ed in his presence and hearing, that at the time be voted, that the five Administration claimants were entitled to their seats, Kr/11: HAD NEVER READ OR F:XAMINED THE TESTIMONY FURNISHED TO THE COM MITTEE ON ELECTIONS ON TUE NEW JER. BEY CASE!"44) THREE IN A BED.—One of the resolu. tions adopted at a Whig meeting in Concord a few evenings since, read thus:— "Resolved, That we congratulate the Whigs of our sister States Vermont and Maine, upon their late signal triumph over the office holders and office seekers, and that New Hampshire will yet prove herself a sister worthy to lay in the Middle. The Tories have set her a "snoozing" along side of Miss Souri and Mrs. Sippi, but the moment cold weather comes on she'll jump out of bed "in the twinklin of a bed-post," and get into a seperate coach 'long 'with Louisa Anna.—Claremont Ea gle. -..** 0 0.1..- Too GOOD TO BE LOST.—In 1824 when the contest between Iscasort and ADAMS was at its height VAN &MEN facetiously remarked, that Mr. ADAMS belonged to a family that could not repeat—that they were good four mile nage for a single heat but always destined to be distanced on the second trial! Wonder if he is'nt inclined to think there is another nag ofa somewhat similar character now entered for the se cond heat, who from appearances, will not only be distanced, but, 'break down' in the first quarter and leave his competitor to walk over the courser CASS OF R. C. GWATIEINS.-Irt will be recollected that during the summer of 1839, a man by the name of Pitman was killed at the white Sulpher Springs, by a man named Gwatkins'who was arrested on the spot, and committed for trial at the spring term of the Superior Court of Greenbrier. At this term he applied to have the venue changed -MILTON. to the county of Rockbridg,e, and the appli• cation was granted. At the fall term of the Rockbridge Court, he was tried, and conv:cted of murder in the second degree. Some legal questions arose on the trial, which were carried to the Supreme Cour t, , by which tribunal the verdict was set aside, and a new trial awarded. This new trial was had, at the lasi term of the Roekbridge Court, and the result was that Gwatkins was convicted of murder in the first degree. A Virginia paper states that his counsel have made an effort to have the judgment arrested and the verdict set aside; but the result of the effort is not yet known.—Balt. Patriot. LOOK HERE-READ! GEORGE WASHINGTON was a FARMER John Adams was a Lawyer. Thomas Jefferson was a Lawyer. James Madison was a Lawyer. James Monroe was a Lawyer. John Q. Adams is a Lawyer. Andrew Jackson is a Lawyer. Martin Van Buren is a Lawyer. WM:HENRY HARRISON is aFARMER Every President but one has been selec. ted from the lawyers. While we say noth ing against honest lawyers, we think farm ers will incline, all other things equal, to try a farmer once in fifty years. In Har rison we have an able, experienced, true hearted, honest farmer—capable, faithful, honest—let the people try him one term. Again The Whigs of the Revolution were jealous of hereditary power. They intended to abut every avenue to its being engrafted upon our system. The same jet• oust' carried out bas prevented the re-elec. lion of a President who had a son to tempt him to abuse his power. Washington,Jeferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, neither of them had a son, and were re-elected. John Adams had a son; John Q. Adams and Martin Van Buren have sons—the two Adams were loft out at the end of the first term, and so will .111 r. Van Bvrenl I%6o:rm.—The Richmond Whig says that during the recent Convention in that city, an estimate of the Virginia vote in November was prepared by the Whig Elect toral candidates present, aided by the local delegates. "The Whig mnjortty is estima ted at 4,400—a calculation (says the editor) which we and all, feel very confidence will be more than fulfilled." A Tonere - so hymnErrr.—The Balti more American states that on Tuesday evening. as a lad of about 12 years of age, was reaching from the wharf at the foot o Fell street on the Point, he lost his balance and was precipitated into the water.. He was seen by his mother, a German woman, who, unable to speak English, ran about in a frantic state for assistance; in the mean time a blacksmith, named Charles Herges heimer,who bad observed the accident from the shop in which he was at work, had thrown down his hammer, and hurrying to the spot, plunged into the water, brought up the boy and in other minute resto red him to the overjoyed mother, nothing the worse for his accidental bath than a drench ed suit of clothes. The gratitude of the mother for the prompt and manly act which had rescued her son from an untimely death, though it could be but imperfectly expressed in words, must have been highly gratifying to him who had been the instru ment of her son's preservation. Emma:yrs.—The British ship William left Baltimore for Trinidad a few days since, with nearly 250 persons of colour, who will prabably become residents of that place.— The Baltimore Clipper states that among the passengers, were some of the most re spectabie and useful portions of the colored population of that city—"that every corn• fort has been extended to them for their passage; and the most liberal supply of stores was provided by the excellent agent who bad the arrangement. .This ship will return, and sail again as soon as practica ble for the same concern —and her passen gers for that voyage are making up rapid. ly. At the same time vessels are now preparing, and are advertised to go to Ja maica and the British West India Islands for the same purpose." REVOLT AMONG THE SLAVES.—.The Howard, Maryland, Free Press of Satur day says: A most desperate affray took place on Mr. Green's plantation, in Anne Arundel county, on Friday, but which fortunately terminated without any serious injury to the parties concerned. Three or four of the negroes employed by Mr. G. refused to obey the orders of the overseer, and threat. ened to murder his family, and he attempt ed to chastise them; but they reskted his attempts. He found it necessary to sum mon a 'posse comitates,' and an officer was immediately sent for, who arrived in good season, but not before the negroes had arm ed themselves with scythes and clubs, ready to resist all attempts to arrest theni. . The officer together with theaverseer attacked them, but after a desperate effort, they were compelled to give up the conflict. The negro who was armed with the scythe made a pass at the head of the offi cer, who barely escaped having his head severed from his body, the weapon passing ' immediately over it; the officer at this issue discharged a pistol at the man and lodged the contents immediately under the left I shoulder, but with no serious effect. The Inegro, who was a strong and muscular man, made another pass at the overseer and ............- 191 3 3r1/,,iL*4 1 4 4 C0 , 4 Z 14511 0 struck him on the arm, the weapon, howev. er , glancing downwards and only severing the flesh from the bone. The officer and overseer then found it necessary to retreat and recruit their force; they were, however, pursued by the negroes, and only made their meal% by the fleetness of their horses. The negroes, with ono exception, have since been arrested and committed to jail. It is stated that the Amistand and her cargo are to be sold at New London on the 15th inst. by order of the U. S. Circuit Court. The cargo consists of dry goods, hardware, crockery, vermicelli, &c. selec ted for a Spanish market. Also, a mill for grinding sugar-cane. The negroes of the Amistad are still living at [Westville,' New Haven, in charge of Mr. Wilcox, the Uni ted States Marshal, and are very comforta bly situated. Their case is now in the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States, who meet at Washington in Janne. ry next. If this court confirms the decision of the Court below, the Africans will be im mediately set at liberty. LOVE AND Pourics.—The ladies of Maine are almost without exception all Whigs. In the town of Bristol, a young girl who was engaged to a young fisherman in the Island of Monhegan, which is attach ed to that town, end who Was suspected of locofocoism; told him that she would banish him from her favor unless he voted the Whig ticket. The young man, who by the way was just 21, and• had consequently never voted before, dimurred, but his lady love was inexorable, and very justly insisted that notto bo a whig in these times, argued either a lack of intelligence and discernment, or a want of' principle and true patriotism.-- Neither deficiency was to be overlooked by her, and he need never come and see her again, therefore, if he did not vote the Her. rison ticket. Love and prejudice had ri hard contest, but the former triumphed. The young man voted the entire whig ticket,anit Thorpes, the whig candidate, was chosen by one majority. The damsel is surely deserving the thanks, not only of the young man who she thus saved from the sin of locofocoism,but of every true republican of the state.—Providence Journal Tna MAIDENS Or MAINE.-- _•The follow ing incident is related to have taken place in one of the unorganized plantations near the head of the Kennebec river. The vo ters in the township being about equally divided, and as they had to travel about twenty miles to vote in the nearest town, an agreement was made between the whigs and Locos that they should pair off and all stay at home. On the Sunday before elec tion, the Locos concluded to steal a march upon the W.higs, and give in their own votes, without letting the Whigs, know that they were gone to the meeting. They intended to start early in the miming, be fore daylight, and before any of the Whigs were stirring. But it so happened that this well-laid plan was defeated by the activity of a resolute Whig girl. She had a sweet heart who was a Locofoco, and who came to pay her a visit on Sunday evening, accor ding to the good old fashion of New Eng. land; and, as he was about taking his leave earlier than usual, the girl insisted upon knowing the reason. which he unwittingly disclosed. No sooner was he gone, than this true-hearted Whig girl went to her neighbors, told the Whigs what was going on, and before sunrise had them all on the way to town meeting, where they arrived a short time after the Locos, who were much chagrined at being caught in this dirty trick, and wholly nt a loss to understand how their secret had been discovered.— This girl is certainly entitled to the office of Postmistress, when this plantation is or ganized. "1 will go with my party if it goes to the Devil!"-- Gov. Fairfield, of Mazne. Well, Governor, good bye. MELANCHOLY CASUALTII..—W. R. I'. CHAPLAIN, a gentleman who had been stay ing at BARNUM'S Hotel, in Baltimore. on Wednesday, departed for Philadelphia on Thursday morning. On Thursday evening, as will be eeen by our hymenial head, he was married to a Miss MURDOCK, in this city, and they arrived in tho steamboat line. and, took apartments in the City Hotel, at Baltimore. Dinner was ordered, but Mr. CHAPLAIN declined eating any, and called for some water to wash himself. At that time he appeared to be weak and sire gger ing. However, when the table was set, he eat of the fare moderately, and after drink ing a glass of wine, said he felt much bet ter. He then retired to the chamber where he fell down in a fit, and in .a short time ex pired. The Sun states that medical aid was celled in, but it was of no avail. He had been for some time previous in ill health, but on the morning of his leaving Philadel phia ho appeared to be completely renova ted. The unfortunate gentleman who has thus been snatched from anticipated earthly happiness, and left a young widow to mourn her bereavement, was a native of Cam bridge, Md., and a resident of Mississippi. The threshold of happiness is too often the entrance to the charnel house. The Treasurer of the Bunker Hill Mdnu ment Association acknowledges the receipt of $lO,OOO as a donation from Alllo3 Lew• RUNCE. This gentleman is a brother in blood and spirit of the late distinguished representative from Boston—as pure and virtuous a man as ever served the country in her legislative councils•
