FOll TUB STAB AND 11EPUBLICAN DANNEU The Compiler of the 20th inst. in an article under the head of ..informetion wanted," sneering • ly asks Fauss if he attempts to speak. tell the people that ho voted for the infamous revenue bill, which was vetoed by Governor Por ter?" • Dr. Fauss' does not, I-believe make any pro tensions to public speaking, neither, according to report, are Messrs. Marshall and Diehl distinguish ed as public orators, yet they are notwithstanding not considered the less competent to discharge the duttea of the office for which they have been nominated, if elated, by the party that has placed thorn in nomination. Dr, Pause, will not, I pre sum . :, if . ealletl upon, deny that he voted for the revenue bill which Gov. Porter vetoed, and which the Compiler in its wisdom -chooses to denomi nate "infamous." BUt I would ask whether Go vornnr Porter.vetoed the bill with as much hones ty of purpose as the representatives from Adams voted for it. I would rsk with all dee defer'uce to his exalted station, wheth,r the Governor did not pledge, himself to his friends, to sign the bill, provided ten ,of his party in the !louse would vote fur it. I would further inquire, when the bill was vetoed, whether, the Governor did not exert his influence to persuade a sufficient number of his party to vote for the bill, so as to pass it by o constitutional moje;ity. Perhaps the Compiler will feet a delicacy at this time in answering the above interrogations. I believe, firmly believe, that the Governor did pledge himself to sign the bill, provided ton members of the political party to which lie belongs, would vote fur it; and I fur.; ther fully believe, that the Goyernor did 1.160 every nicam: he was rkiasessed of, to procure the pas'. sage of the bill, after ho had refused to sign it.— Yes, the Governor of Pennsylvania lacked the moral courage and honesty to sign a hill that the wants of a.auffering community imperiously de manded, merely, because he friared that by so do ing, ho inieht incur the displrasuro of penile of the exclusive hard money men, whose votes he deemed so essential at the approaching election. For the truth of the assertion that -the influeir.:e of the Governor procured the passage of the bill, after having vi•toed it, I refer to a declaration made, immediately after its lioal passage 'my two thirds, by a prominent member of the Porter par ty. "The Governor has passed that bill," upon which he insisted, being so thoroughly persuaded that the influence-of the .I:at cutive had been brought to operate upon the action of a portion of the members of the legislature. After various ineffectual efthrts on the part of • the who; members of the House to pass the bill after abed been returned by the governor with his objections, and when they were almost ready to abandon in despair nil hope of accomplishing any thing calculated to afford relief to a RUfferillg c.,atatunity, and Tosco ing from irretrievable bankruptcy and rein, thousands of honest men w h o ' I nJ been rvlyimg upon the plighted faith of the Commoirivealth for the pei form:ince of her engsgettlems. two loco focils in the House moved recorra:der".i ion of flue hill, who with eleven of faith voted for it, together with the thus averted sane of impending ,tr,,;t x ,., Nu.; rui;; to which the annals of nur be • to'ed tt•ono.,:) , ov‘ a i II are a Wronger, such is, a tOirt It "tory “f wo..ifto .1 the bill through the to the Senate the was 1,4. , t hy kv.t , it.irtis of the members rtsoit;t, a 4:lCikir%t uu,'.-e: of the loco facer halt ing. the mignanimity, gloriously to dodge the question, amongst the number thus characterized fur o°4 firmness and attention to business, Wall the redoubtable thin. Miller, sr loco fueu Senator from this di,triet. What, I would inquire, had been the condition of the Commonwealth had not this measure 'of relief, so much deprecated by our opponents, been finally adopted? Her foreign and domes tic credit would have been prostrated, her faith at home, and kbroad would have heed impaired and violated, and Pennsylvania, proud Pennsyl• vania, would have been dishonored and degraded and become a by-word and a reproach every where. And why? surely not because of the want of means and resources to meet her en gagementi, but because of the obstinacy and surf vilify of the chief magistrate, whose duty ais to watch-and protect hei interests to tho extent of his abilities. The revenue bill is not precisely what Its friends desired, but under every circumstance the only moans of relief that could be wrung from the iron grasp of those into whose hands, in an evil hour, theteeping of the State was committed. It has afforded relief to the crying necessities of .thou sends, and provides millions for the future, replen ishing of the treasury. It is false, as is frequent ly asserted by the loco locos, that the bill fastens for an indefinite period of time, an irredeemable paper currency. It is for the next legislature to provide ways and means fur the redemption of the paper issue authorized by the revenue bill, if uch redemption be practicable under the present deranged and embarrassed financial condition of the country; if such provision be impracticable, then the wisdom and sound policy that dictated the action of.the.ldst legislature in the passage of the bill must at once be - apparent to all. It must be known to every one, conversant with the history of the legislation of the last ses sion, that the representatives from Adams, resist ed every attempt at appropriation fur works of internal improvement, which must eventually result in taxation without affording a correspon dent benefit to the State; not so however with the Governor. as upon reference to his annual toes sage transmitted to both Houses at the opening of the session,will appear. Ho there recommends the speedy completion of the Erie extension and North Branch canals, and an appropriation to the Bald E igte and Spring creek Navigation compa ny, the latter of which has been a continual drain' upon the treasury, and the former two according to the opinions of all acquainted with these works and their state of forwardness, will require many millions for their completion,and when completed, will never yield one dollar of revenue to the State. Thera is yet another portion of the Governor's message deserving of a passing notice; in refer ence Li any increase of the banking capital of the hate, he observes, I cannot, however, conclude this part of my subject, without recommending that no increase of our banking capital be made under any circumstances," mark Lie words 'qi dee any circumstances." In these views of the executive, the members from the county of Adams entirely acquisced.and acted aecordingly;but not so with the governor. When the bill chartering a bank in the city of Lancaster bad passed both branches of the legislature .and was presented t o him for his approbation, did ho sign it? No.— Did he veto No. But ho chose that most cowardly of all alternatives to suffer the bill to become a law without his ..signature. Perhaps it may be urged that it was from a repugnance to the repruted exorcise of the, veto power, that he aeopted the course be pursued in regard to this oill. A reference to the journals .of the last ses sion will convince the most sceptical that ho was not governed by such a motive. 'lt now remains for the people of Adams to judge, whether the course pursued by Governor Porter, which is of course endorsed by his advo cates, or that of their representatives in the last legislature is most entitled to their confidence and support. From the well known intelligence and" honesty of purpose of a large iwijoitty of the free men of Adams, I have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion, that the conduct of.their repro rentatives, under the trying circumstances of the late difficult and laborious cession, will meet their approval, n hilst on the other hand, that of Goverhor Porter, will, us it m e rits, meet their de cided disapprobation and condemnation. From the Pennsylvania Telegraph The State Debt ! An article on this subject, prepared for this paper with the twist SCIUPUIOUS Cara, and fortified by extracts from the lirports of the State Officers, has produced an amu sing scene of consternation in the loco loco camp!

A few simple facts will prove the truth Of our article—arid facts are stubborn things, for even the inventive genius of loco fucoism to prevent I Look at the last Ite • port of the State Treasurer for 1840, the political Itiend of Gov.

Rimer are responath'e for ti? because the public improvements were originated before became into power; and IN ONLY ONE LEGISLATURE since they were commenced, did the party of Gov.

This fact shows how utterly groundless is the assertion, that the policy of Mr. Ritnor's friends left the vast dedt for Mr. Porter's edam nistrat ion to pay ! The 10. collie° Legislatures of 18:30-7 and 1837-8, were the cause extravagant increase of debt. Gov. Rutter wished to apply the surplus revenue as a sinking fund to liquidate the state debt- -lie was opposed in this by a locofoco logi=lature I He ve toed, as we have Vlore stated, the mam moth Improvement Bill, and yet the same Legislature immediately passed another, al oust as obnoxious, and attached to it, the ways and means of re‘enoo for the current expenses of the Government; Gov. Ruttier was thus reduced to the alternative of allowing the bill to become a law, by withholding his dissent for ten days, or suffer the whole complicated machinery of the State government to be arrested for want of appropriations! He preft'rred the former alternative, and the bill became a law, without the sanction of his signature. 'Those same persons who would charge on Mr. Ritner's administration, all the ex travagance of Gov. Porter's, and make it appear that the Erie. North Branch and Sinnemahouing Extensions, the Gettysburg Railroad and Wisconisco Canal were all originated under Gov. Miner, know• that some of them were projected if not com menced, when George Wolf was Governor! To refute the assertion that the State debt was increased under Gov. Ritner, loolt at the last page °f the Auditor General's year ly account, and you will find that BUT 815,000 WAS BORROWED, FROM 1838 to 18:35 ! A lute Address of the Porter Central Committee, says that "Ho (Gas Ritner) contracted n State debt a motintim! to upwards el - $(7,000,000 by commen cing the following works: Erie extension, estiniatud to cost $3 444.835 22 North Blanch extension do 3053,600 86 West Branch even:lion do. 7 200,000 00 Gettysburg Rail Road do. 2,550.000 00 Wisconisco Canal do. 416,316 51 Allegheny Feeder do. 362,606 00 This statement to erroneous as all must know who are conversant with the history of our state improvements.

And by referring to the Act of Feb. is, 1830, when Gov.

Thi s , f e llow citizens, was the cause of Governor Ritner's_pruderit administration —the departure from it under Gov. Porter has wa s ted millions of the People's mo ney! The authority, improvidentlV giv• en in some instances but in most usurped by the Canal entrnissioners, of CONTIN UING WORK WHEN THE REGU LA R ,APPROPRIATIONS WERE EX.

Look now ut Ofe reveree'or the picture. Near Fifteen Billio n . have been borrowed by Gov. Potter in two and n half years; not a mile of Cuaul or Railroad has been completed; the repairs have eaten up the income, and involved the State in debt and the ratio of increased appropriation, called for to support the extravagance or repair the imbecile action of his govern• merit, is absolutely , appalling to the contem plation cf the patriot! ' pon-Tliche are facts—they are of record —it cannot be charged on Gov.

HORRID MURDER IN NEW YORK.—The New York Courier and Enquirer of yester day gives the details of the discovery of a horrid murder perpetrated in that city.— It appears that Samuel Adams, a printer, who resided at the corner of Ann and Gold streets, had been missing since the 17th instant. On the night of his disappearance, Mr. W heeler, a teacher of writing, occu• pying a room in the Granite building at Broadway and ChP.mber streets, had his attention attracted to a noise in a room adjoining his own, and occupied by J. C. Cult,—a noise like two men scuffling, suc ceeded by a heavy fall. He knocked at the door but got no answer, and on looking through the key-hole, he saw two hats, and Colt apparently rubbing on tho floor. H is curiosity being excited, lie watched the room all night, in company with a young man who lived with him, and heard Colt apparently at work, and in the morning was seen to bring out an ordinary packing box about four feet square,-and place it in the passage—it was directed to a firm in Louieville, and marked via New Orleans. Colt then went out 'and returned with a Carman who took the box away. Mr, Wheeler thought 'no more of the circumstances until the disappearance of Mr. Adams was made public, when learn ing accidentally that Colt was indebted to Adams. and had been seen with him, he gave information that led to the arrest of Colt and an examination of his room, the walls and floor of which were found to have been spotted with blood, but after wards washed and ink thrown over the places. A large hatchet was found the handle of which had been scraped. On Colt's arrest and examination he denied being in his room on the night of the 17th, or having put the box in the passage. $17,828,355 59 Search was next made for the carman who had carried it away, and, through great exertions, he was at last found by M r. G rodfrey ,the Seperintendent of Hacks, and examined on Saturday night. He at once stated that be recollected the circum stance perfectly, and that he had carried the box on board the ship Kalamazoo, ly ing at the foot of Maiden Lane, and bound to New. rleans; that Colt had accompanied him and took a receipt there in person for the box. $1,891,017 ester sl v morning the magistrates and police officers proceeded to the Kalamazoo to obtain the box. It was found in the lower hold, and the stench which proceeded from it, at once indicated that its contents were in a state ofputrjdity. Being brought on deck and opened, there was to all ap • pearance, the body of Adams wrapped in canvass, apparently an old owning. The body was in a state of decomposi tion, a rope was round the neck, and oaten• ded to the knees, by which the knees were drawn up to the breast, the whole base of the forehead was crushed, and he bad several tither wounds aboift his neck and head. The body was fully identified as that of Adams. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of "wilful and deliberate murder," against John C. Colt, and he was fully commit ted. Cora THE Mvuuuaeu.—The New York Grand Jury have found a true bill against John C Colt, tor the murder of Samuel Adams. His trial is not expected to come on during the present term . . The Tribune charges Colt with several minor ofPnces heretofore committed, and says that -his fa• Cher has been Controller of the State of Con. necticut for many years. One of his sisters committed suicide some time ago. The Tribune adds: "In a freak of passion at an early age he fled from his father's house to one of the Southern States, where he remained for some four years, procuring a support by various means, sometimes by honorable labor, and at others by dishonest trick Some years since a warrant was issued for his arrest, but never served, for swindling operations to Philadelphia; and in 1939 he was brought befiae the Police of this City for !wing burglariously enterril (Ake of Judge Inglis, at that tinie In Wall!sireet, and stolen sundry papers therefrom. Ho then gave his name as Brown, mid his ease was nt.ver brought to trial. Ile is said to have libed for some time past with a wo man who formerly moved in high society in Connecticut, whose husband has lweii gone for some time to the West Indies.— In this City, among C)lt's acquaintenees she has passed as his wife." THE CAPTURE OF ROGAN FUriher Particulars.•—The eastern papers of yes terday confirm the account of the capture of James Grogan, while in the U. S. Ter ritory, and by Brutish troops. He was sleeping at the time, at the house of his brother-in-law William Brown, who is said to be a respectable farmer. At about 2 o'clock on Monday morning, says a Franklin county correspondent of ilie New York Express, Brown's house was sur• rounded by a detachment of British soldiers his house forced, and himself and family forbid to make an alarm under penalty of death. They proceeded to the bed room where Grogan slept; who, awakened by the noise, defend, d hithself till severely wounded in the legs and thighs by bayonets; his face was literally flayed and his shirt was entirely torn off—when he was over powered; wrapped in a buffalo robe, thrown into the bottom of a wagon, and carried across the line. some 2i or 3 miles distant, Had from thence to Clurrensville. On Monday he was carried east to Missiquio Bay, heavily ironed, and sent to Montreal. A letter to the Boston Atlas confirms the above, says that the troops came by night and by stealth, that Grogan Mught furiously, and was with dificulty overpow ored. He adds: "Col. Grogan formerly--that is before the rebellion--resided in Canada. During the rebellion his property was wantingly destroyed, and he driven from his home into the United States. It .was rumored that he retaliated and burned buildinos across the line. To punish him, as they pretend, they have been guilty of the most illegal and hostile transaction which could possibly disgrace any men or set of men." A Whitehall correspondent of the New York Courier, states that Grogan had made himself very obnoxious to the Queen's sub jects by his prominent conduct in the dif ferent emeutca on the line, and it is reported that the royalists have seized aid mean to keep him as a pledge for the security of McLeod. The following confirmatory of his arrest, is from the Montreal Herald: We are happy to learn that a man,Gro gan, notorious during the border disturban ces in Canada has been arrested and lod ged in jail. But from a series of papers drawn up in consequence of the trial of West, (which we will publish as soon as possible.) we fear that this man also will by the großsest perjury, be able to evade justice." The Courier and Enquirer expresses an opinion that the Canada government will immediately release Grogan, and punish. his captors. The excitement on tho Ver mont frontier was very great. The Springfield (Illinois) Journal of a late date says: "The Secretary of War has written to Governor Carlin, informing him that the United States Government were about to forward, to some point on Rock river, arms and ammunition, to be subject to order of the Governor in rase hostilities should commerce between this country and the British and Indians." A DEATH SCENE IN lOWA.—The Cleve land Herald states that •on a recent occa sion, a man named Henry Hultzbocker, sheriff of ClaN ton county, lowa, and a Mr. McClelland of the same county, got into a family quarrel. A challenge passed be tween them, but the sheriff swore be would not fight, but would shoot MY.3lelland at all eventd. He drove the latter into his own house with pistol in hand, but before he could fire, McClelland seized his rifle and shot him dead. McClelland was examined and acquitted. WHOLESALE LYNCHING IN TEXAS. A Dreadful Tragedy.—A werlt or two ago, says the Nachitoches Herald, we gave an account of the trial of one Jackson, in Har rison county, Texas, for murder; of the manner in which he was ' tried; how he was acquitted, and how he and some of h:s friends then seized the comity judge Mc• Henry, and brought him to Natchitoches, where he is now in jail, awaiting his trial, under an indictment for carrying off negroes from that parish. It now appears that when Jackson returned to Texas, he was atticked and killed by four or five friends of McHenry; and they, in their turn, have been captured and hung, without any care• mony, by the friends of Jackson. Where is this bloody tragedy to end? FROM FLORIDA. — The U. S. steamer Beaufort, Capt. Peck, arrived yesterday. A correspondent writes—"We have no Indian news." Lieut. Thayer, 2d Dra. goons a very promising young of'ficer, committed suicide at Pilatka on the after. noon of the Iflth inst. by blowing his brains out with a carbine. There is something, says our correspondent, in the nature ol this war calculated to produce dispondency among the young officers. «it hit) my re• membrance, says ho, four have committed self murder, viz: Capt Lane, Liout9nunts Wheelock, Huglis and Thayer.

Porter's Canal Commissioners last year, expended $268,- 003 to repairs upon the public works, over and above the sum of $600,000 appropriated fur that purpose by the Legislature of 1840. 2. Let it be remembered that on the Erie Ex tension, that worse than useless work, "begun in folly and prosecuted in madness," the same Canal Commissioners, run the State in debt $311,397- 88, beyond the awn appropriated by late fur that work, in the year 1810. S. Lei it be remembered that on the North Brunch Extension, a work still more useless and unproductive than the last, they expended, be yond the sum legally appropriated and which they had no right to go beyond, the enormous amount of $51.3,714 92. 4. Let it Ge remembered that the appropriation act of 1840 contained limited appropriations to all those objects, but that the Canal (otions shiners, instead of stopping, when the sums appropriated were exhausted, went on in defiance of law, and run the State in debt the above a mount of nearly $1,300,000, for no good or use ful purpose whatever, which debt the last Legis lature were obliged to raise the means of paying, or suffer the faith of the State, unlawfully pledg ed by its agents, to be violated, thereby adding to the debt, and increasing the burthens of taxation. 6. Lel it be remembered that this disregard of law by the Governor and Canal Commissioners was done to enable them to keep a force upon the public works, to control the 'election lust fall—a purpose, however, in which they were signally disappointed. 6. Let it be remembered that such conduct on the part of the Executive agents is nut only a die regard of law, but defeats all the purposes of specific appropriations, and in effect leaves the amount of money to be drawn and expended out of the Treasury, at their diseretton, instead of be ing regulated by law as the 22d Section of the lit article of the Constitution requires. 7. Lel if be remembered that the Canal Com missioners defrauded the State out of $24,7413 88 on the Columbia Rail Road, in the contracts for the proviso.), of Locomotive Engines &c., and by letting out to their favorites, 1116 111 mites of the North track of said rood et double the price at whieh it was bid for by responsible . bid dere. 8. Ld it be remembered that, by a like system of management in repairing locks, re•building aqueducts, letting of the construction of tyre East. ern Reservoir near Hollidaysburg, on the Juniata Division of the State Canal, the State has been swindled aid cheated out of $20,836 12. 9. Let it be remembered that on the Western Division of the Canal, in the allOtment of the Western Reservoir to Moorhead rind PAcxsn, the bretAer of William F. Packer one of the Canal Commiesionere at $31,274 more than it was hid fur by others, and in various other ways, the State has been wronged out of the neat littln sum of $43,102. 10. Let it be remembered that on the Conne mkt line of the Erie Extension, the State in like manner has been defrauded of $78,499 31, given to political favorites, friends and relatiens of the Canal Commissioners, beyond the price bid fur the amino work by others, 11. Let all these facts, which appear by the Jourr ale and the record, upon sworn testimony produced before the Committee of Itiveittigation of the last House of Representatives, he remembered —and then, in connection with them, let not the people forget that David R. porter, who now asks to be reelected in violation of the one term prig• eiple, has pocketed, end refuses to sigkso that it may become a law, a Dill passed by 4 the Legislo lure last session, giving the Election of Caaal Ounintissirmers to the PEOPLE!! Citizens of Adams County! Dzatocnsrs!! we cull upon you to weigh these things well. Can you vote for David R. Porter, who thus sanctions the profligacy and corruption of his officers, and sets himself in opposition to so truly Democratic a measure as giving the PEOPLE the choice of Canal Commissioners? Is he a Democrat? A DF:MOCUJr, and unwilling or afraid to trust the people with the choice of their own officers? No; you will buy by your votes on next Tuesday, that you do not consider him one, but will go for and elect "honest JOHN HANKS," the friend and advocate of a Tariff and the protection of Home industry, the enemy of Taxation, and the friend of the poople;—and whose sterling honesty has extorted tributes of praise from his opponents— enemies he has none/ The Veto. 'rho frequent and flagrant abuses of the Veto power of late, both by the President and Gov. PunTsii, has made many ,persons seriously ques tion the propriety of any longer retaining it in our Constitution. However, be that as it may, all are agreed that it was designed and should be used, fur conservative purposes only, and not be abused so as to render the Executive the absorbent of all Representativi. and Legislative functions and powers. It may be used—it ought not to be abu sed. We began this article for the purpose of re minding the prop'', that this despotic attribute of power, has been exercised by Gov. Pita Tan, no fewer than TWENTY ONE times, during the two last sessions of the Legislature—let limes at the session of 1840 and eleven times at the 1111,1 session; besides pocketing the Bill providing fir t h e election of Canal Cominiedoners by the pro. pie. the Bill authorizing suit to bu brought fur the recovery of the $2OOO illegally drawn out of the Treasury without auth.rity of law and paid to his brother and his Attorney General, and various other Dille besides. We call upon you, Democrats of Adams coun ty! to ask yourselves calmly and eeriously,whoth er this is a proper use, or a wanton abuse of a Constitutknal power! If convinced that it is an abuse, will you sanction it by your votest No, you exclaim indignantly. Good; remain of this mind, and express it at the ballot box next Tues day. Vote for "honest Jona BANIEN " ho will never play the despot in this style; under his administration the will of the •"Sovereign people" expressed through their representatives, will weigh for something; it will be heard, regarded, arid ODE! XII ! The Senatorial Ticket. We trust the honest among our opponents, and Choy are many, will remember how they have been tricked and trafficked out of their undoubt ed right to a nomination of one of the candidates for Senate. Wm. Tauehinbaugh was notninoled by the County Convention; hie competitor was appointed a Conferee, and the consequence is, ho has been dropped, arid Mr. Gorges from Cum berland county which had no claim to the nomi nation, nominated. It is well known, to every one who has paid any attention to sectional and local interests, that there is in many respects, a rivalry of interest/ between this and the other side of the mountain. Neither ought to be wholly neglected; both are entitled to be heard and represented in the Legis lature. Franklin and Cumberland counties are one in sectional interest; Snit of Adams, is, in many respects adverse to theirs. On this an count, we have always thought, that so long as the three counties are united as a Senatorial Dis trict, Adams ought always to have one of thn •Senators, no matter which party should elect them. But the ticket presented to out opponents, and for which they are asked to vote, represents the other side of the mountain exclusively: Ad ams county, has been excluded from it by the conferees. On our ticket,hoth sides of the moun tain are represented; and we expect to see many of our opponents manifest their preference for their own county interests, over mere party elle giance,especially when the bond of that allegiance has been broken by a disregard of their instruc tions, by voting fur Col. CtantsoN, their friend and neighbour, residing amongst them, acquaint. ed with their wants and interests, and of course better able to represent them truly than Mr. Gor gas who lives over in Cumberland county, and can know nothing about them, and who probably cares as little. Hon. James Cooper. We invite the attention of the friendeof this gentleman to the following communication. We exceedingly regret that the condition of Mr. Coop- Elea family is such as to prevent his fictive sup. port: To the Citizens of the 12th Congressional District 1 During the late session of Congress, I received a large number of loiters (ruin constituents and others, which I was unable to answer while I re• mained in Washington, in consequence of the protracted .illness which I suffered, and which I have been prevented from answering since, by continued illness in my family. I have thought it proper, therefore,. to make known through = the medium 14 the public {tapers, the reason of the seeming neglect with which I have treated the favors of my constituents and other friends. Since my return home I have received several invitations to address meetings of my fellow citt• zoos in various parts of the District, and it would afford. me much gratification to do so. It would also furnish the ropportunity I have desired, to ex press to my friends my sense of the obligation I sin under to them, for the active and generous support which they gave inc when I was a Can dislute fur their suffrages, and to interchange opinions with them in relation to the new aspect which political affairs have put on. But coutin ued and dangerous illness in my family forbids me to do so. This, lam Sure, will he received as a Sufficient apology by my constituents. fur what niight.irtherwise have appeared catelessness in regard their wishes and a neglect of my own duties., JAMES COOPER. `September 30, 1841. FOR THC STAR AND REPUBLICAN BANNER A few days since, my attention was drawn to a communication in the "mud machine," yciept the • •Republican Compiler,' signed Corm WAG 0, and I should not now have noticed it, only for the pur pose °ldeating the skirts of honest Cunowago from such a miserable. compound of ignorance and stupidity, and of undcciving the people, in regard to &falai, statement against the Commissioners of the couttty. The people of Adams County well know, that when Old Conowago enters the field of battle, her warriors (let them be Antimasons or Lot:Mows) deal much weighter blows than this poor 'creature, who, under the noble lion's skin, hopes to hide the inglorious earls of that worthy animal, the Asa; but the braying of the animal un der that signature has exposed the natural deform ity ot that stupid animal. In order to prove more clearly (hit the writeriof that article intended to usurp an honest name for the purpose of deceiv- ing the people of this county, I shall state a few factS wh;ch cannot be controverted. The writer starts out, with a sweeping denunciation against the Commissioners for taking the Assessment lust year, contrery to law; and says that "when the grand jury 11. November called on them for an explanation, they attempted through their clerk to impose upon that grand jury by a unsure- We subterfuge." Now, I happened to be In the Commissioners' Office at the Limo when the grand jury came in to receive their pay, and this same writer, who signs himself Conowago (but who should have signed himself Latin:ore) in a whining tone,: asked the Commisioners' opinion in regard to gm assessment which had been taken. The Commissioners with much politeness gave a clear and satisfactory explanation of the law,-- indeed the explanation was so clear, that it satin find the minds of every one of the grand jury. except the one from Latimore,' who declared he would not pay the tax assessed under that assess. meat, which declaration caused a laugh of con. tempt froin the whole jury, and a sarcastic reply from the County clerk, that sent the juror from Latimer° raging from the room; however he went home, and like a good boy reflected cooly about the matter, anci when the Collector called on him, for his tax he paid it without a murmur, thereby admitting that the Commissioners were correct in their construction of the law, and that he was wrung and incompetent of judging about the mat ter. In regard to Ina other charges against the com inisaiunors fur ignorance; incompetency and cx , llravagauce, they emenate from such a weak head and foul heart that they may go for what they are w uth, The people of Adams County are en iutollignnt people, (at least the majority,) and they have decided by overwhelming votes that they have the utmost confidence in the honesty and intelligence of the Commissioners, and that the 'Mira of the county have been managed with go much economy that it is now entirely free from debt, and that it has less county tax to pay, than any other county in Pennsylvania, that the increase of taxes is caused by the extravagance of the Porter Administration, which has levied a herivy and burdensome State tax of $6OOO on the people of this county, and which State tax will still be increased if the people do not rise in their might and overturn that corrupt and thieving !party. In conclusion, I will merely advise thiafalse Col4olAloollrr, that hereafter he had better con fine himself to his own little element; the past Should hate taught him a lesson, never to be for. gotten, that it should have claroly shown him, that he was never destined to figure larger than an indifferent pedagogue, and that when once his egotism induced him to soar higher, he soon discovered thei instead of being the Eagle, he was only that ordinary bird, called the Crow. A TRUE COD,IOWAGOIAN. At a largo meeting of Democratic citi zens of Addms county at Hampton, on Sat urday October 2d, DAVID P. HINERD was appointed President, SAMUEL MCFAR• LANK, Vice President, and Moses M. Nee ly Secretary,--when the following resolu tions were offered by 14. C. BHA, seconded by John Brough, Esq., and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in view of the present juncture in national politics, and the course pursued by the Administration which has come in aS successor to that of the gallant and lamented Harrison, we conceive it to be proper that the eyes of the people should he directed to one upon whom all the true friends of the county can cordially unite, as worthy to fill the place of the Hero of the Thames. Resolved, That in Gen. WINFIELD SCO I', the great Paeificator, the Hero of Chippewa and Bridge -water, we recognize the Same high qualities, eminent services, undaunted bravery, and pure and lofty pat• ;intim, which en much endeared the brave Harrison to his admiring and now mourn ing countrymen; his victories and prowess emblazon some of the brightest pages of our military annals, and merit the highest re ward his coun , ry can bestow. Resolved, That we will therefore support General Winfield Scott, as the next Presi dent of the United States, .assured that in him, the patriot will have nothing to fear, either from weak vacillation of purpose, or that deliberate treachery which violates pledges and forgets the sacrifice and rxer lions of friends, to bestow Om rewards of victory upon enemies and political oppo nitrite—subject to n National Nomination.

Part of the Governor's answer is given by the Keystone in these words: "Being aware that a NEGATIVE can• ' not be proved, he (the '.;overnor) expressed his disavowal and denial of slanderous falsehood, in the BROADEST and most COMPREHENSIVE .7 ERNS, asking no favors from his accusers, and only de. mending what is right." Why cannot a negative be proved? His own nephew C.

The Keystone says that upon the strength of the Governor's denial, they pronounce the charge from beginning to end, and in all its various shapes, or in any shape it may a ,, sume, a vile fabrication, as false and groundless as it is malicious and slanderous.
