Pennsylvania viii cast her electoral
vote for Gca Harrison. Such IS The opin-
ION OF the yclI-informeJ wings of that
state, and in that opinion they arc sustain
ed, If not by tie words, by the acts of the
Van Burenites. PENNSYLVANIA has Justly
been regarded as lhe keystone State, and
when she gives way the arch goes with it.
Heretofore her electors of President and
Vice President have been chosen in Octo.
Der, and thus she has taken the lead in
declaring her preference. That prefer
ence has always had a controlling influ-
ence and IN many instances has determin-
ed tie vote OF other states. Wherever
there is the prospect ola close run between
tie opposing candidates, Pennsylvania is
regarded with peculiar interest-her senti-
meuts are likely 10 become the sentiments
OF the doubtful states, and hence that par
ty, which fears that her voice will be
against them, may well desire 10 have her
vote come last. The Van Burenites con-
troll the Legislature of Pennsylvania, and
have already used their power to prevent
the influence of her vote upon her sister
states. They have recently passed an
act, changing the time for choosing cleo
tors to the first Wednesday in Decem-
Der, so that the Keystone State will be
the last to vote upon the Presidential cues
ton. This is significant movement and
indicates most clearly that the Van Buren,
party have no faith in their hold upon
Pennsylvania. The State will 90 for
Harrison, and they know it-they fear its
influence upon the choice of electors else
where, and hence they have postponed her
election. There was no need for altering
the time-there was no plausible reason
offered for the change, nor is there any
except the one to which we have alluded.
The Van Burenites feared for the result
and they dared not let..Pennsylvania speak
first. Had they felt strong, they would
have been anxious for her to declare her
sentiments, that it might be an example
for others to follow. The postponement
by the Loco FocoS is an admission oftheir
weakness, and a sure indication that the
state is lost TO Van Buren,.

gentleman " DO returned from tie scene of ac-
ton last evening. with a pocket full Of the
''spos," that Coney Island has been alive for
couple Of days past with people digging up
and collecting the treasure buried there by the
pirates Gibbs ard Wansley-part ofthe @51,-
900 plnnder obtained by the murderous crew
of the Vineyard, in November, 1880; the hor-
rors OF which transaction must be still fresh III
the recollection Of many Of our readers.
Alter getting possession of the vessel, and
ascert aiming the value Of her cargo, tie specie
was divided, and the share Of each was about
$4,000; and the course Of the vessel (Which
was bound for Philadalphil) was changed fer

Southampton light, they got tho boats out, and
put hall the money IN each-they then sCutiled

three more took the long boats; The others
took the Jolly beat, which was foundercd, and
nearly all the moEe7 lost with II.
Gibbs and his comrades buried the principal
part OF the money brought IN the long boat on

WORTHY OF IMITATIoN.-Ag gentleman from
Georgia, who was plaintiff in an execution
against one of our citizens, for about $4,000,
purchased his negroes at sheriff sale at our
Court House door on Monday last, and al
though, his own debt was barely satisfied, he
having to pay a large amount on older execu-
tons 10 enable him to get a clear title to the
negroes, seeing that the defendant was entire
ly sold out, with an interesting family of four
boys yet in their iniancy-made bona tide
transfer of five of the negroes to the sons Of
the defendant. Such dlsinterested generosity
in times like the present, stands like a green
spot In the extensive desert of selEinterest.

facts became known, or poor as we are, we
would have contributed to the purchase Of a

GENERAL HARRISON

a mail scarcely reaches US without contain
ing cheering intelligence of the prospects of
the "People'S candidate" for the next Presi-
dency. The enerlies Of Gen'l Harrison stir-
matise him with poverty, as though nothing
good could be found except in ranks of the
monied aristocracy of the country. If the
candidate fer this distinguished Office IS to be
judged by this criterion, Van Buren, certainly
has the advantage. We have strong faith and
an abiding confidence in the virtue and intolli-
gence of the people, and with them we have
nothing to fear; for the sterling integrity and
moral honesty that has characterized Genl.
Harison's public and private life for nearly
forty years, will bear the test when brought in
competition with the monied urrisiocracg oftbe
country, and the corruptions Of venal office-hol-
ders. H.any State in the Union should appre-
cate the acts Of General Harrison, it is Mis-
sissippi. Through his exertons alone and
then with the strongest opposition he succeed
ed while IN Congress in procuring, the passage
ot the law authorizing The sale Of the public
lands IN less quantities than go acres. And
under the effects Of this law, our State has be-
come poPulous and thriving and the poor
squatter has been enabled to secure to himself
hls little home, by savings from his hard earn
ngs, from the public domain. And he who
now asks their SURFACES, is one who fora long
term Of years when employed in the public
service Of his country was the inmate of log
cabin and has thoroughly felt its priyations.-
Let the yeomanry of the country then unite
their exertions to elect him who can fully ap-
preciate their situation and wants; one who
while he has proved himself their friend and
true patriot, bears not the smallest imputation
AGAINST his hnnnsfu of n11rnorn

Military Services Of Gen. Van Buren,.
Our readers are not perhaps, aware that
while Gen. Harrison was barring his bosom to
a British foe, Gen. Van Buren, was busily en-
gagged in the attempt to execute a military
movement, which, thanks to the patriotism OF
the country, sIgnally failed. His services du-
ring the war were Numerically opposite to
those ofthe glorious old veteran whom we sup
port. For, Gen. Van Buren,, while Harrison
was sharing the severe privations ofhis army
on the frontier, was busily engagedi in endeav-
oring to effect hall and retrogade move
ment, among those who had engaged in the
country's service. His whole aim was to by
intriguing acith The FederagistS to defeal Mr.
Madison, to sew dissentions among the ranks
of the soldiery by declaring it unconstitutional
to march the militia out Of their respective
States, and by all his crafty and cunning meas
ures to roHse the people against the war. All
of Gen. Van Buren's military services were
confined to bringing about an ignominous and
disgraceful retreat, from our high stand against
British assumption. Matches Courier.

Bat finally. my respected audience, al
low me to say that it is by imbibing the
spirit of the gospel we prepare ourselves
Tor maintaining the principles oftrnth. and
Tor doing justice to mankind. In state
of sin, we are ourselves slaves to our worst
passions, and we need the blood of Jesus
Christ TO set our own souls at liberty from
that hardest of all bondage in which Sa-
tan holds as with an iron grasp. Theirs
is an awful bondage. who are held lin
everlasting chains under darkness unto
the judgment of the great day" Willis
then We seek the liberty of man from &

servants of corruption but rather stant
fast in the liberty wherewilh Christ woule
make US free.
This is freedom such as angels use,
And kindred to the liberty Of God.'
