R. LI. DAVIS,
REPLY OF MR. BANKS
NETILVO H Came, w.lll. .u.a.auttoros,
and R. H. Dam, Esqes:
Gentlemen—l received your letter on
Saturday evening, in which, resolutions of
the Democratic citizens of Allegheny Coun
ty were enclosed. fly those resolutions
my opinions, and views in relation to the
One Term principle are required, and to
this demand I now give a hasty, and brief
reply.
/rhat our State Executive should be litn.
ited to One Term, is an opinion which I
have long entertained. In otrerving the
operations of our system of Government;
the necessity of this principle was-suggest.
ed to my mind, and has become more ap
parent by the practice of every day. So
fully was I convinced of its practical utility
that I urged its introduction, and adoption,
to more than one member of the late Con
velum to amend the Constitution of our
State. Although this amendment was not
then made, the public demonstrations m its
favor are now so strong, that there retrains
no doubt of its adoption, as part of our Con
stitution, as speedily as the r.ecessary forms
will permit. • .
As regards the PresidenCy of theArnited
Metal look upon the One'Term principle
as having been firmly settled by the election
•ot Geneial Harrison, and, that in the opin
ion of the Democracy of the country, it is
on* as sacred, and unchangeable, as it it
formed part of the written Constitution it
self.
Whether we regard the welfare, and
happiness of the State. or . the purity of our
elections, the propriety of the One Term
Tule is equally urgent.
Shen ati individual has been placed in
the higheet Executive office of the State,
this salutary limit should he placed to his
Umbilical. Then there will be nothing belt
for. him do,•but the discharge ot the du•
Item of his high station for the public good.
His own fish fame, the lasting esteem of his
fellow-citizens, and the happiness and pros
etp-ity of the country will then receive, his
uMivided attention. His deliberations wilt
b e
no longer disturbed, or his honest_ pur•
poses and judgment distracted or suppress
ed by anxious reflections whether a Mea
sure will increase.or diminish - his vote at
the next election. These considerations
are alway s - exceedingly annoying to the
individual', and prejudicial to the public in
terests. •
This one term , principle will do much to
iel.Lave the . Executive from all undue party
obligations and the power ofevery improper
'sectional influence. It will put a termina
.
nation to the too frequent, and often violent
eiettests between the officio- holders and the '
peoPle. by which states,, and even whole
epuntries are sometimes most deeply con
vulsed. It accords also with the principle
et :rotation in office, which gives to our well
digested system of dernneracy the must val
uable advantages over every other form of
government.
This one term direction has my most, de
cided eipprohation. Rave laid it down elk
4 fit rule ftir the government of others, and
'under MI circumstances will be willing to
conform to it nivaelf. • •

REMAINS OF THE LATE PRESIDENT.
The mortal remain* of the late venera•
'Did President HARRISON were removed from
the Government burial ground in Washing
ton, on Saturday last, at the hour and under
the ceremonies prescribed by the order of
CONGRESS, to- be conveyed to their final
resting place 03 the banks of the Ohio at
North Bend. The National Intelligencer
says, the body was attended by the son of
the deceased, JOUR Scorr HARRISON, Esq.
and by the committee of gentlemen from
Cincinnati to whom was assigned the pious
- duty of accompanying the remains to Ninth
Bend. The PRESIDENT of the United
States, with the Heads of Departments, the
committees of the two Houses of Congress,
and a large number of , citizens, attended at
the place of departure from the city, to of
ler the last testimony of respect to the
earthly reiso..os of the lamented Chief
whose memory will ever be cherished by
every true hearted American. & detach
ment of Marines by order of the President,
attended :the body as an eiteort to North
Bend. We understand that when the order
was addressed to Col. Her:nesse:l, (coin.
mender of the Marine Corps,) to furnish the
detachment, and to designate an officer to
command it, he replied that being himself
the senior ofPcer, he conceived it to be most
proper and reispectful that he should act on
the occasion, and accordingly assumed to
!HANOI the melancholy duty of beading the
escort.
The care from Washington. with the
body of the late President, reached Balti
more on Saturday at about 3 o'clock, p. m.
accompanied by John Scott Harrison, the
only surviving son of the General, the Com

No indication having been given of so
early an arrival of the cars, our military
were not prepared to receive the body as it
was their wish and inteution to do, but they
were reconciled to this defeat r,l their wish
es by, learning from the Committed that it
was desired to avoid, as far as possible, ev
ery public ceremonial. The body was la•
ken to the City /Ltd', escorted by the Ma
rine Corps, and followed by the • son of the
deceased, the Committee from' Cincinnati,
and a small number of our citizens, where
it remained till this morning, under charge
of a military guard, furnished by order of
Col. Hickman. As the guard, the Inde

the Independent Grays East night.
The route to Cincinnati, fixed on by the
Committee, was by way of the Susquehan

rectors of the Susquehanna Railroad ten.
dered to the Committee the use of a spe•
mai car to Columbia, and thence free .
passage-to Pittsburg, and also. invited the
military Companies to escort the body to
Columbia. The invitation was also extend

citizens. •
The following order was issued by Geo.
Howard on the subject:—

DIVISION ORDER.
ROBBERY, or TUB FREDERICK Cowry
Baca.--Recovery ofa Portion of the, Mo
Trey.—The money that was stolen from this
Bank has been recovered, -with the excete
tion of about twenty eight thous a nd d o ll ar s.
We understand that the circumstances
which led to this result wee° as follows:
Some time ago, the directors of the bank
received a communication from a person in
New York named Wiley, who represented
himself as a lawyer, and stated that he had
professionally become acquainted with such
facts as would enable him to secure the re
stitution of the stolen properly upon certain
terms. Dr. Wm. Bradley Tyler, one of
the directors of the Frederick County
Bank, and Mot. M. Beall, esq. the cashier
of the Farmer's and Mechanic's Bank of
Frederick county, repaired to New York,
and,afler a good deal of negotiation,succeed•
ed in recoveripg the whole amount, with
the exception of the sum above stated.—
We understand that the gold and the notes
of banks other than the issues of the robbed
institution write retained, and that the law
yer who was the agent in compounding
the felony, charged a commission of some
ten thousand dollars for his services. No
information was given that could.- lead to
the detection of the robbery, although Mr.
Wiley,upon beingqeestionedupon that point
by Dr. Tyler, said that he (the Doctor) had
seen the principal of them several times
during his visit to New York.
The arrangement, we think, to utterly
indefensible. If Wiley be, as he repre
rented himself, tilawyeeilea. should be, at
once; denounced by bis'atiociates sod
tnissed the bar. Theie ir &ping in the
professional obligatiOns "oiler which he
pretended to act, which can justify the cor
rupt part which he played in this
We trust that the bank will put the public
in possession of all the facts in an authentic
shape. Whilst we rejoice that the money
has been recovered, we hope that we shall
not find 'any thing in the measures taken
by the bank, to interfere with the course of
public justice..--.pait. Pat.
(Since the above wee in type wo have received
the following:—Ed. Star.]
From the Frederick Examiner of June 30.
By an Advertisement published in an
other column of this day's paper, it will be
seen that the Bank has at length succeed.
ed in recovering a large portion of the
funds stolen from its vaults, and that it
has resumed operations. The funds re
covered are the issues of the. Bank, togeth
er with all the State Bonds and Certificates
and private checks, stolen at the same
time.
As much curiosity has been excited in
our community in relation to the mode in
which the funds above mentioned have been
recovered, we have sought from the Board
of Directors of the Bank, information upon
the subject, and have been cheerfully fur
nished by them with the facts within their
knowledge, in reference to the matter,
which we communicate here for the bene
fit of the public generally.
It appears that many anonymous com
munications in relation to the robbery have
been received by the Bank from various
quariers, some indicating a course to be
pursued, and others professing to-give in.
formation. They were generallypostmark•
ed "Philadelphia," and one "Washington
City." To all these due consideration was
given, but nothing definite or satisfactory
resulted, until the 19th of June, when the
following letter was received, postmarked
'New York City."
NEw Ironic, June 16 1 1841.
H. DOYLL
Dear Sin—My aid and assistance have
been asked, in reference to the loss of the
Frederick County Bank on the 22d May
last.
If you, or the President, or some person
acting for the Bank could have a personal
intervieW'with me, I have no donk I could
arrange matters in a manner that would
prove satibfactory.
It would afford me great pleasure, to be
the'means uf etiecting a restitution of the
heavy, loss which the Bank sustained on
that occasion.
Respectruily yours,
WILLIAM• WILEY.
P. S. I can be seen personally, or a let
ter addressed to 47 Howard St. will reach
Upon the receipt of the above letter, the
Board of Direeors appointed Dr. Witham
.Bradley 7'yler and Wm. M Beall, of this
placn, both stnckholders in the Baok,to pro
Geed to New York, wtih a view of confer
ring with Mr. Wiley, on the subject of his
letter, and gave to these two gentlemen a
power of attorney to receive the lost lands,
and pay the reward according to the amount
delivered, if they should prove successful.
Dr. Tyler & Beall on the same day started
for the City of Now York, and arrived
there on the ensuing night, about 11
o'clock.
Early on • Monday morning Mr. Wiley
was seen by the agents of the Bank, who
found him engaged in the discharge of the
duties of the office, being that of an Associ
ate Justice °f - one of the inferior Courts of
the City of New York—He was recently,
if not now,a practising lawyer in the Courts
of that city. The agents were received by
Mr. W., with assurances that no difficulty
should be thrown in the way of a speedy
recovery of the plundered funds paha Bank.
Mr. W. requested a delay of a few days, es
the individual professing to know something
about. the - funds was absent at the South.—
Nothing was heard till Wednesday evening,
when Mr. W. called on the agents, who
agreed to pay 8 per cent tor the restoration
of the lost issues of the Bank. Mr. W.
took with him this proposition, and in the
morning notified the agents thet he would
accept it. It was still not: iik:his power to
say on what day. itie funds could Come into
his possession, but •pledged - bitneell to de
liver them at the earliest possible moment,
after thoy came into his possessten, Noth•
Mg mole was heard before Saturday morn
ing, when about,ten o'clock Mr. Wiley
called on Meseta. Tyler and Beall,' saying
that he was prepared to deliver the propeity
of the Bank. -
Mr. Wiley then went to the New York
Bank and in the presence of Mr..Beall re
quested the Cashier to go with them and
assist in counting the money. He also pro.
cured the aid of Mr. Hearn, a respectable
merchant in Broadway as they passed along.
The.place of appointment was a front room
in the Hotel, standing on the corner of
Broadway and Howard street, where they
all assembled, viz: Dr. Tyler,' Mr. Beall,
Mr. Wiley, a Mr. Seal who is Clerk to
Wiley's Court, Mr. Halsey the Cashier of
the New Bonk and Mr. Hearn, the Broad ,
way merchant. Mr. Wiley then left, the
roomier a few minutes and returned bear
ing in his hand a leather valise which was
found to contain the recovered funds, all
sealed up in a single envelope. The Pack-
age was opened and the money counted by
the above named gentlemen. This took
place on Saturday morning. After the
counting was finished the funds were deliv
ered to Messrs. Tyler and Beall, who paid
Mr. Wiley the per centage on the issues, as
agreed on, and by the evening cars they re
turned home with their lost treasure. - By
this means the Frederick County Bank is
again upon its legs and in a sound condition.
Before the robbery the stock of the Bank
to our certain knowledge sold for six per
cent. above par, and we feel assured that its
late misfortune, from which it may now be
said to have recovered entirely so far as the
community is concerned, will not cause it to'
lose any portion of the public confidence it
formerly enjoyed. he notes are now per
fectly good and none in the State are better.
We have thus given all the material facts
connected with the restoration of the stolen
funds. It seems that this is net the first
time that Mr. Wiley has acted as mediator
in like cases. Some few years ago he was,
we understand, in the same way instru
mental in the restoration of the funds stolen
from the Providence Bank to the amount
of 8183,000. He would in the present in
stance give no other information on the sub
ject of the Frederick County Bank robbery
than that he was informed that "the Vaults
were opened by false keys and that six per
eons were concerned." The leader is doubt.
less a practiced burglar and ahides in or
about New York. Let the police be on
the lookout for him.
The robbers have yet in possession of the
stolen funds of Frederick Codnty Bank the
following, viz:
In Gold —eagles, halt eagles and
• sovereigns $10,040
In notes and bills of other banks, 7,052
In Frederick County Bank notes, 1,542
Aggregate,
Together withabout $2,500 of scrip of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal which waa
on special deposits in the bank at the time
of the robbery and belongs to individuals.
The bank has not in the slightest degree re.
taxed its vigorous exertions for the appre
hension of the robbers and the restoration
of the residue of the stolen funds as above
mentioned. By reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen that a reward ofe s ,
000 is offered for the robbers and 20' per
cent. for the residue of the stolen funds.
The Frederick County Bank having re•
covered the whole of its own issues, stolen
from its vaults on the 22d of May last,with
the exception of 81542, with all the State
Bonds, Certificates and Private Checks ta
ken at the same time; HAS THIS DAY REIM'
MED RANKING OPERATIONS. Its own notes
will hereafter be received for all debts due
the bank, and will be paid out at the coun
ter as usual.
All orders heretofore passed in relation
to calling in the notes of the Bank, arc re
scinded.

THE Mena.—There is increasing cause
for complaint on account of the irregularity
of the mails. Seldom do we get a full
complement. When the New York and
Philadelphia papers arrive in time, there
are missing those due from Baltimore and
Washington; and vice versa. Yesterday
we had nothing from New York, when we
had a right to expect important news from
Europe.
The fact is we do not expect,--there nev
er will be--perfect regularity in the trans.
mission of tho mails, until the reform of
Post masters is more thorough.
Let all those political rogues be reformed
who seek to bring the DePlirtment into
disrepute by confusing the mails; and, if it
prove a difficult matter to point out the-par
ticular offenders, we know of no Letter plan
than to turn all out who were ever suspect
ed of beiing inimical to the present Adminis•
trationl—Cincinnati'ilepublican.
We entirely agree with the Republican
that there never will be "perfect regularity"
nor any regularity in the mails until every
mother's son of the loco focos is "evoked"
from office, as President Tyler calls the
process amnion!. The people of Harris
burg have nothing to complain of to the
manner their office is couducted, nor they
never had. But this is an exception to a
generai rule and only proves its correctness.
It is the policy of the loco foco Post-masters,
and they never forget to observe the policy
to make as much confusion and irregularity
in the mails as possible. They very well
understand that the responsibility must rest
on the administration—their opponents.—
The more irregularity there is in the mails
the more odium there will be attached to
the administration, and the better it-will be
for them. Yet the Post-master General
has not the "nerve" to displaCe these men
who are laboring night lied day to sink him
and the party who have to sustain him!

UNITED STATES SENATE,
MONDAY, June g8,•1184I.
A menage .ras received from the House
of Representatives, expressive of regitt on
account of the death of Major General MA•
COMB.
On motion of Mr. Clay, a Committee
was appointed on the part of the Senate to
unite with the Committee on the part of the
House, to make suitable arrangements to
attend the funeral.
Oa motion of Mr. Bates, the Senate ad
'owned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House met at 10 o'clock
Mr. Cooper announced that Mr. Black,
a representative in the place of Mr. Ogle,
deceased, was in the House, when he was
qualified and took hie seat.
Mr. Daivson then nnnounced, as Chair
man of the Military Committee, the death
of Major General Alexander Macomb, and
offered a resolution that a committee, to
act in conjunction with one from the Sen
ate, be appointed to make arrangements for
this House to attend his funeral today. '
Messrs. John Miller, of Missouri, Wm.
0. Butler, of S. C., and Aaron Ward, of
N. Y. were appointed the Committee.
A message was received from the Sen
ate at 25 minutes past 10 o'clock, announc
ing that that body had concurred in the rem)
lution of the House. and had appointed ne
committee on their pirt, Messrs. More
head, nfKentucky, and'Pierce, of Rhode
Island.
The House then adjourned.
Weerrese,t3r, June 30.
Mr. Tallmadge said he was requested
by a most respectable and intelligent com
mittee of the board of trade of the city of
New York to present a petition of from 61-
teen to twenty thousand citizens of that city,
for the establishment of a National Bank.
Mr. T. said he was authorised ap say that,
althoug:i the great portion of the petition
ers were friends of the present adn►inistra.
tion, there were still many names of those
belonging to the other party; and that the
number of petitioners, by taking a little
more time, could have been increased to
thirty thousand. It is believed that there
is not the name of a single individual to
that petition who is not a legal voter. They
are of the business and working portion of
the community. And Mr. T. had no doubt
that a decided majority of the people of
New York were in favor ors National Bank.
He did not, at this time, intend to occupy
the time of the Senate on this subject. If
be should deem it necessary to say any
thing further, ho would take ac opportunity
when the bank bill was under consideration.

[This memorial was placed in a roll ex
hibiting the appearance of a small keg, and
marked, city of New York, and measured
somewhere about 250 feet in length.]
Mr. Clay said he had conversed with
some of the members of the committee that
had brought on the document, and had
learned that such had been the feeling of
the people in relation to the subject, that
even the aged had come forward to sign it,
and instanced an old gentleman upwards of
eighty years of age, who had actually
walked a considerable distance to do so.—
Mr. C. also mentioned an instance of
five Loco focos Om came to the places
where the memorial was being signed, with
a view to create a distuttance, but some of
its friends had calmly reasoned with them,
and the result was, that four out of the five
had come forward and signed it, and the
other had been nearly made a convert.—
Mr. C. seemed to regret that some such
influence could not be brought to bear upon
the Senate.
Mr. Buchanan replied, in so many words,
that if an orator like Mr. Clay could not
bring influence to bear to make converts in
the Senate, it would be useless for others to
attempt; that where he (Mr. C.) had failed
it was not to be supposed that public opinion
was to be affected by petitions unfolded
by the yard.
The Fiscal Bank Bill comes up daily as
the special order, in the Senate. The re
solution of Mr. Buchanan relating to remo

clude from the purchase ofstock nil persons
other than citizens of the United States Of

On Thursday the Senate resumed the
consideration of the bill to incorporate the
subscribers to the Fiscal Bank of the United
States. •
Mr. Rives submitted a motion' to amend
the bill by striking out the 10th fundamen
tel article, and inserting a new article pro•
siding that offices of discount and deposit
may be established in the several States,
with, the assent of the Legislatures, or,
,in

party should be permitted to enter, but that
they should confine themselves to the ground
which was indisputable. Gen. Harrison
had, in 1822, given his opinion against the
exercise of this power without the assent of
the States, and this opinion was is no de

Williams. He then looked at ,the election
of Mr. Tyler as a proof that the moo!,

Mr Khios made some reply, in which he
asserted that he was nut viewing the ques

by the Senator from Kentucky.
The Chair, (Mr. White of Indiana) did
not regard the . Senator from Virginia as
having transgressed the rules of order, as
he had made no assertion in reference to

Mr. Rives. resumed, disclaiming any de
sire to speak of the present opinions of the
President. He then spoke of the efforts
which had been made to show that Mr.
Jefferson, and Mr. Madison considered the
powore settled.
Mr. Clay expressed regret that his friend
from Virginia thought it his duty to offer
this proposition. Although he acquitted
his friend of such intention, he saw that
nothing hut mi.chiel could result from it.
Mr. Rives—lt is not my scheme. The

Mr. Clay. The gentleman may have

the people of Virginia were themselves

that ho would go with the Whig party on

He believed the President would set

should a difference arise, it would not be
for the first time. But he asked, was this
bank struggle to be eternal.. He appealed
to the Senate to pass the bill and you will

Mr. Rive's said he was one of the last to

Below we give an article, from the Lancaster
action in Islet-ion.,'the policy of removals from
office." It endorees the policy advocated by us
—that without * change of men the government
cannot be thoroughly refohned that removals in
the higher departments, are.not Oilitient , to se •
cure even partial reform—:thal the Ouse, which
t eem warred against end which were made a tlis•
sleet question of canvass before the people era to
les found existing among the most subordinate
!dicers—that the policy whiCh has amirintly
engrafted itself upon President ryler's isdftioie
trstimt ie dangerous in the illtepts—spd that if
"to make friends," is the object of. that policy it
is a most mistaken one. More Cumuli will be
made by a clean sweep than by moderation, for
hearance and indulgence. While those removed
would cry proscription—they would acknowledge
the justice of the act, and give credit to that con•
sistency'in' political faith 'which caused it:-
4 ` R EMOVAILS FROM OFFICE.-A New
President and anew Cabinet preside over
our National affairs; but here candor com
pels us to say the work of reform, willed by
the people, seems except in a few solitary ,
instances, to have stopped--so far, their I
just expectations have been realized. The
Inuh officers, at Wnshington, actuated Pro•
bably by the vain expectation of extorting
praise from their political opponents, still re
tain, with very few exceptions, all the Loco
foco subordinates. If they believe this false
magnanimity,this sickly delicacy,will either
help them to retain possession of, or smooth
their way at some future time to the White
House, we can assure them they are_ very
much mistaken. The People 1104 willed
a change, thorough and entire, and those
who use the power committed to their hands
to thwart this intention, will find, at the
proper time, their actions rightly apprecia
ted by those whom they have deceived.
What motives can be adduced to justify
a course like that of which we complain,
we are at a loss to imatine. Is it just, is
it patriotic, to rupport your enemies at the
expense of our friends? Shall the revilers
of the patriotic Harrison and thoeneniies of
true republican principles be retained in of
fice to the axclusion of the tried friends of
both? Honor and justice alike forbid such
a suicidal course. But so it is. The forlorn
hope who led the attack upon the strong
fortress of Execdtive patronage are, it would
seem, below the notice of our very magnan
imous rulers. The infantry of the lino who
born the heat and burden of the day; who
lost their time and spent money in giving
life and animation to the charge upon the
corrupt adherents of the late administration

The address of Gen. Ca . ss.
We have perused the address delivered by Geis.
Cass, our Minister to France at a meeting of
American citizens held at Paris, May' 10th, in
consequence of intelligence of the death of.the
late President Gen. Harrison. It will be recd•
lected that at ammo period of our late contest, a
rumor was rife, that our Minister had avd'wed
himself in favor of the election of Gen. Harrison;
and that upon the avowal by the government
press that no change had taken place in Gen.
Casa' political preferences—speculation ceased.
To one who knew not the extent to which „the
character of Gen. Harrison was attacked by the
party which conferred upon Gen. Cass his office
—his address might appear manly in its tone and
worthy of being styled ssa noble production."—
To us whoknoy/ithe facts, instead of being cow
mendable,'il -Tomes, under circumstances which
look much as though he had said to himself, "bet.
tai late than never." Had the General during
the late Presidential canvass "freely 'disclosed"
his knowledge, "by frankly avowing the truth,"
which he now avows—"to redeem the character
or a departed soldier from charges brought
against him in the heat of a political con
test—charges as ungenerous in their form, as eh
soluteli N ortzurr and annonzons in their sub.
stance"--had he communicated his i.regrets to
the- Ameri4n people that any portion of the par
ty to which ins belongs had rendered it necessary"
that he should give the lie to all the Blenders
which they hod fabricated against his .icommort
friend"—had ho then, when his knowledge could
have availed much from his character, private and
official—stamped his political friends with tbs
character of traducers, as he now does, the mcs• .
tive would have been appreciated, and ho wonlf,
have rendered a service which, ought to hats
been acceptable to himself, would have defended
this injured, and would have been any thing but
"unworthy" of him. Had Gen. Cass written to
any common friend of himself and Gen. Harmon
the same facts which ho now writes—would it not
have been '
at least as kind an act as it now isl—
He acknowledges that this position gives weight' ,
to his testimony"--yet it was withheld. This ,
address, while it detracts somewhat from that rep
utation for disinterested nobleness of character,
which is attributed to• our minister; gives addi-'
nonel proof that—when is good man dies, even
his revilers will rise to atone for their crime, and
pay the noblest tributes to his character. GOll.
Cass avows that ho says of Gen. Harrison "in the
tomb whet he would not say of him in life."—
Self interest is indeed still the guide post -to hu
man action. Neither rank, or station is exempt
from its influence: the warmest friendship yields
to its dictate--or, it may be, there is no friendship
in the breast of him who is governed by,it. Had
Gen. Cass (if his "relative situatioo" forbid him
from defending his general) resigned his minis* .
rial office—cut the tie which then libeled his mouth
—declared himself as the Companion in arms of

MILITARY. ENCAMPMENT'
The volunteers of York intend to hold
an encampment at this place, commencing
on Tueedav, the 24th August, 1841, and to
continue three days; will make suitable sr
rangemente tar the reception of such or,
their fellow soldiers from abroad as may
favor them with a visit,• The 'Volunteer
companies of this and the adjoining court
ties in Penneylvania--and those of tho ci-
ties of Pliiiadelphia, and Baltiinore,,',are
invited to participate with the Volunteers
of York iu the ditties of the encampments
They may rest assured eta Soldier's cordial,
welcome.' • • .
It le hoped that the ravorable seam
secreted for the occasion;' the facilities for
reaching York - from almost every point„ of
the compass, and the obvious advantage to
all volunteer companies to enter occasional
ly the rough school of the soldier, will in.
duce many of our military brethren"to ac.
cept the invitation hereby heartily extended.
Tho companies of York, sensible of the
repronch which hag fallen upon many simi
lar efforts to improve American Volunteers
in camp duty, in consequence, of the indis
cretion-of a few, have:determined not to
permit wine or ardent spirits of any descrip
tion to be sold or.used Within the limits of
the encampment or the lines of the guard,
