The federal papers, for want of other ar
guments, are abusing DAVID r. PORTER,
for once having been a POOR MAN,
This is just like the old federal argument.
They called mechanics and labourers the
"DLRIY SHIRI'' party, and now they
say that no man who has been POOR shall
be Governor! Let the honest mechanics
and working men resent this foul insult in
a proper spirit next October.--EaSton Ar-

ANOTHER OUTRAoE.-Some two weeks
since as the American steamboat Telegraph
was approaching the wharf at Brockville,
u G. for the purpose of taking on board
passengers, she was fired into by the Brit
ish. sentry stationed there. Fortunately no
one was injured, although several narrowly
escaped. This transaction has increased the
excitement on the lines to the highest pitch,
and fears are entertained that it will eventu-
ate in the destruction of great deal OF
property, if not of lives. Both govern
ments are taking measures to prevent any
further outrages being committed, and ac-
tive means are resorted to, to bring to pun
ishment the offenders; several of whom
have already been arrested, and large re-
wards offered for others.

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

UNDER this head the fedora papers are
publishing with glaring capitals and big
seals, certificates signed BY Robert Camp
bell, Prothonotary of Huntingdon county,
in relation to David r. Porter having taken
the benefit of the insolvent act, with view
of creating an impression that he fraudu-
lently cheated his creditors. This attempt
to defame the character of Mr.. Porter, is
i'll keeping with the whole course of the
wings in their opposition to his election.
In another column we have placed an arti-
Gle from the American Sentinel, giving a
true history of this transaction, which ex-
honerates Gen. Porter from every dishonest
or unworthy motive or action.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR:
GEN. DAVID II. PORTER.
(oF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.

The wings appear highly elated at what
they denominate great whig victory in the
passage Of the resolution repeating the spe-
Gle circular. A measure, that all who were
in anywse acquainted with the monetary
affairs of the nation at the present time,
and of the regulations for the receipt of Gus
toms fixed by law that would remain, were
not only willing, but desirous should be
brought about. Indeed, such was the feel
ing upon the subject, that but little opposi-
ton was made to its repeal by the demo-
cratic members, as will be perceived by the
yeas and nays published in our last. So
far then, from its being whig triumph, we
are only surprised that a single voice should
have been raised in the house against it,
Under the circumstances, it is mere
foolery on the part of the wings, to " make
so much ado about nothing y for if there
is any credit to be attached any where for
its repeal, the democratic members of the
house certainly have right to claim, at
least, an equal share. There are but few
men who do not now acknowledge that at
the time Of the promulgation of the specie
circular, the necessity of the times required
it; but thatnecessity having now ceased to
exist, it had become a useless bone of
contention" and we rejoice in its repeal.

They are now in full, and we trust, success

precursor Of what Bloomsbury will be when
her valuable mineral resources shall be
brought into competition with those of our

of her coal mines, and invite capitalists to
invest their funds in their "black diamond

beds are of more value, and will be a

rich and inexhaustble ore beds, and the
abundance of wood, and the facility Of
transportation, to say nothing of our prox
unity to the coal mines of Wyoming
are inducements for capitalists to enter into

exceed 1000 members, though the wings

MrRosAsrs' ExcHASoE-This new building is
advancing rapidly in its growth Already two of the
most important apartments nearly completed
The Ro,unda and the Reading Room. The Reading
Room will be opened towards the close Of ,hepresent
month. tits an elegant apartment, 81 feet long, rs
fee, wide The roof groined and supported by dark
granite columns; between these placed the desks
for the various files of papers. The room is admira
bly, cenrived for general convenience; il is well pro-
por,oned, and the style of architecture somewhat
novel, for these days, and pleasing.
The Rot1nda is splendid apartment. Ii is 90 feet
in diameter, and 26o in circumference. The roof as
in the Reading Room, is greined and supported by
inner and outer circle Of granite colsmns the inner
circle comprising ten the outward eight, which latter
are exceedingly massive and imposing The roof OF
this apartment is only Ia feet high, and this deuacts
in great measure from its beauty, being no pro-
portion to the circumference. This, however, could
not, in giving room to other convenences be rene
