GIVE were slightly of opinion that this
question had been Jaa5ly settled until we open-
ed the Chambersburg Whg of the 24th uh.,
land we are even yet inclined TO believe il is)
when an article of upwards OF a column IN
rngth presented itself TO our vision, which, il
we had not been satisfied that we were 1ctde o.
rake at the time, might have induced Us 10 be-
lipyr that our opinion had been based upon a
dream instead o. a reatity. Our friend tior We
consider every man friend TO hlS country, at
least, who aids TO crush out Know Notbingisn, J
Co.. MCCLURE, in the article alluded 10, under
takes to reUiew the decision of the Supreme
Court on the subject above alluded to, although,
in his own Language, 'he had not seen tie oPia-
ion Of tie Court"-and, in doing 50, he seems to
make his strong point in the declaration that the
members ofthe Supreme Court are Pettitog5ers!
Now, We do hope that this dreadful anahema
mas not come to their ears, lest Ii might shock
their nerves so much as 10 prevent them from
attending to their Judiciat duties, which all will
admit would be great loss and disappointment
to those having business 10 the Court over which
they preside. No one, certainly, eau De so
reckless and hard hearted as to shew them this
'pronunciamenlo'' OF the gallant Colonel who
''craprd" bis door on the evening of tie eec-
ton in memory, or honor, of the death OF the old
Wing Party.
The gallant Colonel thinks that because We
were appointed 10 fill The Uacancy occasoned
BY the resignation OF Gen. KEENAN,, We could
only serve out the balance of his term. Can
the Colonel tell the difference between Goose
and Grow! II be can, we think be might de-
cipher the difference between ''Uacancy' and
"aaerpired term. After thus expressing his
gross ignorance in constituting the plainest word
IN the English Language, no Que would suspect
the COL OF having much Iegat knowledge, SO
that ii was not necessary for him 10 plead his
stupidity on this point
On one occasion, certain CHARLES B. Pen
ROSE advised and couBselIrd a CERTAIN JOSEPH
RiTNER to ''treat the election as though it had
not occurred" after having been beaten by the
gallant DAVID 4. PoGTER by ABOUT 1000 ma
Iorlty, and the said Joseph said yea, will
The result Of that onslaught upon popular opin-
Ion is familiar even 10 the children OF the Com
monweaIth. Penfose jumped out OF The Sen
ale Chamber and bid himself amodg The tomb
stones when the tug OF war came, aud Rltner
Was driDen from the Executive CHAR as base
usurper amidst the shouts aud execrailons OF an
lnsuiIed people. We had supposed that this
was the last time Pennsy lvauia would ever De
disgFaced with such an attempt to place the
laws OF the land at d+fance in 'shigA places. -
but 1t seems we were mistaken, for We now ind
another Solomon" coAnseltiag the Governor Of
Pennsylvania to treat the So-mn decision OF the
highest judicial tribunal OF thls great Common
wealth with scorn and contempt, and act IN de-
nance OF their solemn Judgment; and, If we had
another Rtner in the Executive Chair, he
would no doubt take the advice OF our friend
Mcclure.
Now, we would suggest to our neighbor Nc
CIure that there is Constitutional way Of do
ing things that might conflict quite strongly
"''h the interests OF his especial iirnd Toouas
d Power-and that is that the present or sue
eeedInS Legislature might take it into their
"eadS 10 make the Office of Adjuiant General
