The 18th Resolution, as originally re-
ported, contained threats of an unrelentiRg
warfare against the Governor, unless he
explicitly obeyed the recommendation of the
resolutions, and spoke Of commanding the

the North" TO enter the list IN their cru.

as if they were menas and subservient
tools, and could be made 10 adopt the trans
atlantic opinions and feelings Of the ncscly
concerted antibank chairman of the COM
mittee. without even thinking for themselves.
Had there been separate vote taken up
on it, the resolution would have received lit

profted by the old adage, of word 10 the

Died, at the Dauphin county poor house
on Saturday last, FRANK, formerly slave
Of Mr.. John Harris, founder of Harrisburg.
He was born about the year l745 where
Harrisburg now stands, and consequently
was nearly # not more than ninety years
Of age. He was manumued by the late
Mr. Adam Orth, of Lebanon Uhen Dauph-
I'M county. Frank was undoubtedly the
oldest. inhabitsnt of this county, well re
membered when the Indian smoked his
pipe, and when the forest covered what is
now Harrisburg and its smiling viciniy.-
He used to.say he had 9 turned many a Gur-
row between the canal and the bridge across
,he river" He possessed in an eminent
degree the virtues and vices of lis race
beng hard worker, a hard draker, loun.
ger, and exhibiting an uncomfortable lem
per.
Frank used to assert that he had often
played and wrested with Logan, the Min.
60 chief. then young man; now so cele-
braled by the speech he is said to have de-
lIveFed, contained in Jeiierson's Notes.
Whether Logan ever resided on the banks
Of the Sasquehanna, we have no means o
ascertainIug. but Frank, when the matte
was expaiaed.to him, insisted that he had
sud that he left il before the expedition o
the Paxton boys" to Lancaster. If so
he must have pitched his wgwam on tb
waters Of the Great Kauawha, abou l76t
III years before he he made the speecl
alluded to. making Logan's age at that tim
about 30 years, which agrees with the trad
zion upon the subject.
