The managers ofthe Herald ofthc Times,
labored rery hard last week, to confound
the effect with the cause Of the late Difficult

vent, to do with the origin, or cnu.e of the
difficulties Mr.. Monteins, we believe
gave full and true account of the fraudu-
lent plans and proceedings of the Federal
leaders, to usurp the rights Of the pco ple
and to continue themselves in power; and
the Herald would have us present the YER
sion given by these very leaders, of the
troubles and difficulties resulting from their
own base acts. We have the authority of
The Sheriff of the county in which the trou-
blcs occurred. and the testimony of others,
Falsifying Gov. Ritner's statements in his
proclamation, and we consider them as bet
ter worthy of belief than one Of the princi-
pal movers and actors in the attempted trea-
son against the liberties of Penn,y.vania.
That the outrageous conduc, Of Ritner,
Stevens, & Co., should have excited deep
and just indignation in the bre,ss Of all true
DEMOCRATS, can excite no surprise nor can
we wonder if it was exhibited in a sufficient
degree to frighten the guilty authors and u
be,tors of the attempted fraud. Guilt is
proverbi1lly cowardly, and a Sigh, nanifes.
tation of firmness and a determination to
resist aggression, is sufficient to make it

and said that the committee had come TO
the conclusion that, should Congress au-
thorize the usual amount Of new appropra-

essary to provide five or six millions for the
