1t is fact which cannot be questioned
that very large proportion of those whom
we believe to be real Christians, are mere
babes in knowledge. They have lust
enough instruction to know that they are
sinners, and that salvation is all of grace
through Christ Jesus. But ask them to
state, prove, and defend in a scriptaraI
manner any one of the leading doctrines
of the gospel, and you would Immediate.
ly discover, how contracted are their views.
and how feeble is their PERCEPTION of di-
vine truth. Instead of walking amidst
the splendid light and varied scenery of
revelation with the confidence and ioy of
men whose vision is clear and strong,
they are cropping along with the fear and
hesitation OF those who are partially
blind. This in most cases, is their fault
and not their misfortune merely We
are commanded to grow in knowledge;
and the Apostle in the following very
severe language, reproved the believing
Hebrews for their ignorance. when
for the time We ought to be teachers We
have need that one teach you again, which
be the first principles of the oracles Of
Cod After this he exhorts them to
leave the first principles Of the doctrine
Of Christ, and go to perfection. How

IN 1909 he was appointed Surveyor Gen
etal by Gov. Snyder, and in 1918, he had
the. appointment of Brigadier General in the
United States army, and Secretary of war,
offered him by President Madison, both of
which he declined on account of his ad
vanced age and declined health. He died
shortly after at the mature age of 20 years,
universally lamented, and was buried with
military honors in the Presbyterian burial
ground ofthe borough of Harrisburg.
Such is the character of this "Royol
Treasury Sucker, aOho 9OaS attCays fed on
Treasury Pap !" Who can read this low
scurrilous and brutal denunciation of one
of the heroes of therevolutionary war, with
out mingled feeling of shame and abhor-
renee! 1t is disgrace to the. state of Penn
sylvania that its governor should employ,
and be supported by such detestable human
Hyenas, who not only dig into the graves
of the dead, but into the graves of the dead,
but into the graves of those companions and
supporters of Washington, whose memories
are held sacred by every true American, and
whose labors achieved for us the freedom
we now enjoy!-
THESE men are Int associates IN thelr
Joint attack upon the democratic party, Of
those abolition calumniators who denounced
Gen. Washington as hypocrite, man
thief and a villain.
If a character and services like those oI
Andrew Porter cannot rescue his memory
| from the. harpy attacks of Gov. Ritner's sup
porters, how can we expect that his son Da
vid r. Porter, should escape. TO draw up
on him the whole artillery Of their libels, i
is enough that father was brave soldier O
the revolution, and himself candidate of the
democratic party. Had Gov. Ritner him
self or any of his ancestors ever drawn /;
trigger in defence of the stars and stripes o
his country, it would have sadly disquali
fed him for being the candidate of the com
pound of Hartford conventionism; British
toriism and abolitionsm, by which he il

The assemblage of the Democracy
OF Luzerne county was SO great, enthusias-
tic, and tremenduous, that two setts of Off
GERS were appointed. and proceedings adopt
ed as IL emenatlng from two meetings, when
IN TACT there was but one great, enthusiastic,
and tremendous meeting "alike in senti.
ment and doctrine.''
The above is from the DanyilIe Intelli.
gencer, and is in true character with the
whole course of that paper. When the
editor penned it he knew there were two
disIlnct and separate meetings-the one,
whose proceedings we published last week,
was composed Of the bone and sinew of the
democratic party of that county-and the
other, OF few disorganizers, who have,
LOT the last year or two opposed the regular
nomination Of the party, and who seeded
from the regular meeting because the great
mass of the democracy would no longer be
controlled by them. He knew, too, that
the resolutions that he published the week
previous, expressed nothing more than the
determination of the meeting to support
whoever should be presented to them as the
decided choice of the democratic party of
this county. He knew that the little band,
who composed the meeting over which j.
Drumheller presided were of his own kid
ney' standing ready like him, to support DR..
Petrkln under any circumstances, even if
the destruction of the democratic party
were the certain consequence. Yet, know
ing all this, he has the elfrontery to saw
that the assemblage of the Democracy of
Luzerne county was so great, enthusiastic
and tremendous, that two sett of officers
were appointed, &C." What faith can be
placed in the statement of an individual,
alter SO gross a perversion of facts. None
whatever.
