FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

Extract of a letter from a gentleg,n Of the
first responsibility in Pennsylvania, To n
friend in Baltimore, dated Chambcrsburg,
llth April, 1897.
81 have the pleasure TO inform you that
the meeting of the friends of the Admins
tratlon, held in this place yesterday, was
the largest and most respectable assem-
blare ever witnessed in this county, on any
u lblic occasion whatever. So formidable
and imposing was this meeting, exhibiting
such strong attachment to the AdmlnlStra
ton, that the opposition party have been
compelled TO admit, that IN this (Frankln)
and several other counties, decided and
powerful majority will support Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Clay.
"The proceedings, preamble and resolu-
tions adopted, will appear IN our papers
next week. lcannot but believe, that with
proper attention TO impart correct lniorma-
ton to the people, on the subject OF the
Presidential question, Pennsylvania will,
at the ensuing election, support the present
administration. The only danger to be ap.
pretended arises from the efforts making
/ by the oppostionsts, to leave the people

whilst by iutrigues they are to he SO tram.

and before it had done either good or evil,

by the new Intendant, that of the govern

passed some paper which he had held for
q considerable time. A capitulation tax Of
three dollars was laid and collected by the
different Alcades throughout the Istmus,
without any difficulty. Nearly all the Pub

From the y. Y. Daily Advertiser.

The freedom Of election is assuming q
now character III this country. lt was
once understood TO mean the right for rot
ipr for whom Tee pleased, without being
responsible 10 any person or persons for
tho manner in which that right was exer.
cised. All that was considered necessary
for the legitimate performance of the duty
was, that It should be within the scope OF
legal and constitutional provision. Every
thing else was between the individual and
his conscience. To that alone was he an
swcrable; aud if catechSed by any other
authority, it was justly considered as an
impairment and wholly unauthorized inter
ference.
But times are altered. Neither legal
nor constitutional exercise of the privi-
lcre is now viewed, by a portion of the
country ST least, as satisfactory, or even
iustIhuble--There is higher, sCli.con-
sti,uted,a bold and imprudent powerwhich
assumes prerogative more lofty than ca.
ther law, constitution, or conscience, and
undertakes 10 call men 10 account for thciI
conduct in voting contrary TO their will. oI

presidential election was case of thi:
description, aud is entitled 10 much con

RETOLUTYO.N IN PERU.

Lima accounts to the 2ctb January, re-
ceived via Colombia, announce, that the
Bolivian Constitution Of Peru had been o.
yerthrown, and the officers left by Bolivar
in command displaced, the chief part OF
whom were to be sent after their master.
Gen. Santa Cruz appeared to be at the
head of the counter revolution, and had
convoked by proclamation Constitutional
Congress for the first Of May, to form a
Constitution adapted to the wants of the
country, and to elect q President and Nico
President. The revolution was bloodless,
and said to have been effected with the aid
of the Colombian officers resident in Peru,
who had elected General Bustamente for
their commander in chief The above news
caused great reIoicings at Bogota, where
the people continued attached TO the Con-
stitution and the Vice President.
Letters had before been received from
American gentlemen in Peru, in which
they speak Of the tyrannicaI acts and mean
tricks Of the military satellites OF Bolivar to
obtain the nominal acceptance OF the Boil
Wan Charter; and of the persecution eNpe-
rienced by the Peruvian and other patriots
who would not tamely submit TO the usur-
patton Of the military chief, and his armed
associates.
The Lima accounts add. "That Pando
the tool of Bolivar, aud Here's. Minister of
Foreign Affairs, had been displaced and
vidaurre, tried republican, put IN the
place of the latter: that the first movement
arose from the meeting of citizens III Lii
ma, in which il was represented that the
Constitution proposed by Bolivar, like ma.
nv proposed in France BY Buonaparte, had
been adopted under constraint :--and that
in the writing desk of General Lara, very
interesting correspondence had been dis
coyered of which were letters from Gen.
Salon. which affirm, that General Bolivar
leaves there (Cundinamarcal to find Gen.
Santander, and that he speaks with the ut
most contempt of the Congress, the laws,
and the liberal minded men oi',he country"

From tho National Journal.

Wo are sometimes constrained TO smilo
at the undlsguised Chrontry OF the hire
editors ofthc combination, the palpnblelH
suits which they daily offer to the vrtu'
and Intelligence Of tha community. They
ore equally reluctant TO advance an argu
ment thcmselves IN vindcatlon oftho course
they are pursuing, or to reply 10 one which
has been urged against them. Some un-
meaning eaten words form their entire vo
cabulary, and paltry subteriuges their only
armour II called on TO state their obiec-
tions 10 the President, they Significantly
shrug their shoulders nud reply, he is the
. son OF HIS father. When asked do you
not admire his talents, anl respect his IN
tegrity their only response is--we do
not like the alien and scdition laws. When
anv plan Of foreign policy, or Of in
to.nal Improvement is suggeste.l, it is argu
eI down, because the President was uu-
forluns,elv born in Massachusetts. Is Mr..
Cav anl n, character for talents md fear
less Independence exlolled, we can obtain
no deniql, but he unprnciplcd coalition is
rung N our cars. We advance an argu-
ment, no other reply is given, but that it
proceeds from Boston fedoralist, or de-
pendant on the Administration. We ask
their reasons for supporting General Jack
son, and our ears are stunned with tho Sth
of January. Is he an accomplished civil
ian we are told, remember New.Orlcans.
Is he consistent in his principles The Slh
of January IL he pure in his moral cha
ractor ? nuzaa Tor Ncw-Orlcans Is he
friend of Internal Improvement Why,
do YOU forget the Sth of January Is he
for encouraging the domestic industry o.
the nation What an unrratetn country,
TO forget the victor Of Nov Orleans. Does
he regard the feelings and rights of 9th
era, and the barriers which the ConStltu.
has ntcrposed against the oncronchments
ofviolcucc and ambition? The 9Th ofJan.
uary Is still the answer.
Now this course cannot and will not sue
coed inan intelligent and enlightened com
munity. IL may answer for while, to
throw dust in the eyes of those who are al
ready half blind, but the people Of tho u.
nitcd States will not thus be lured astray

! election, we have never seen the least reason to
doubt. There are individuals, indeed, who
pretend 10 foresee different result, and who
hold out that Gen. Jackson will inevitably OBJ
tain the vote Of the State; founding the asser-
| ton GU the fact that Col. Benton was reelected
1t is very well known to all who are acquainted
with the state of public opinion in Missouri,
| that the reelection Of Col. Benton was in OBJ
| position to the wishes Of the people; and it is
openly asserted, that the success Of COL Ben
| ton was brought about by inlrigues and cor<
| ruptions, (ef which the Colonel affects to have
an instructive s. unconquerable horror,) which
seduced majority Of the Legislature from the
allegiance which they owed TO their constituents.
On the subject OF the election Of Col Benton,
and the electoral vote of the State, we make
the following extract from the Missouri Res
publican of the Esd ul,:-
eff the Representatives from this county had voted
as the Senator's did, and the people wished, Col Ben
ton knows well he would not now have any cause of
exultation.
"We are also among those who believe, that the
vote OF this State will not be given to Gen. Jackson
This confident would be the result if the cleo
ton were held to-day, and we know, certainly, that
the Administration is daily gaining friends in every
part Of the State, while we know Oft but one man who
has changed in favor of General Jackson and the Com
bnation, aud his change was produced, We under
stand, by promise of support the Jackson candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, at the election in 1928
In word, we confidently anticipate triumphant ma
ory of the of the people of this State, in favor
of John Quincy Adams, and we speak adSisedly on
this subject.
"Que1e--.Wi Col. Benton, or any body for him, bet
the amount which he received from the Treasury of the
United States under the Of comp ensson for at
tendance and mileage as a member of the Senate, at
the session of 1824-5, against chat his services acere
really co that General Jackson gets the vote OF this
State"
In order 10 render the closing "quere". intel
ligible to our readers, it may be necessary Ito
state, that the sum drawn by Col. Behton, from
the public Treasury, for mis- attendance in the
United States Senate, and mileage at the ses-
sion commencing on The 9th day OF December,
1924, and ending on the Sd OF March, 1925
and for attendance at an extra session from
the 4,h 10 the 9th of March, 1926, was S.
SOP 40; while me sum drawn by Mr.. Barton,
the other Senator from Missouri, for the same
attendance. was only 81 ,6ss 90; making diff
ference of S 1919 20, in favor Of Mr. Benton
If the public received, in the service OF Col
Benton, an adequate consideration for this extra
charge, why then there is nothing to be said
against it. If not, what are we to think OF the
sincerity with which Col Benton mourns over
the prodigal expenditure of the public money,
and mathematics those who draw from the
public Treasury the legal remuneration for
their services.
