And at another meeting held pursuant to adjournment, at
Amelia Court-House, August 23d, 1832, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted, viz :
I bis meeting believing that the present depression of
military spirit, is attributable solely to the inefficient Militia
Laws ul tin; State; and also believing that a well-organized
and properly disciplined militia, is the only safe guard of
our political institutions, that an army without discipline is
a mere mob in uniform, more dangerous to itself than an
enemy, and that standing armies in times of peace have,
at all times proved destructive ol liberty: We will use
our best endeavours in conjunction with the officers of the
several Regiment*, composing the -Ith Brigade, to induce
tlu; next Legislature (by memorial) or otherwise, so to
amend the said laws, as to make it honorable to hold a com
mission in, and to be enrolled among the militia of this Com
monwealth.
Resotveit, therefore, Tllat.wo highly approve of the
contemplated meeting ol delegates from the several Reel
me.Usol the HI. Biigade, at Amelia Court-House, on the
- Uh day November next, in order to memorialize the Le
gislature on tho subject ol'an amendment of the Militia
Laws, and also to draft such a plan to accompany the said
| memorial, as may seem best calculated to efiect the same.

committees as have been, or may hereafter be appointed by

which iinmmediatcty concerns ourselves.

_ I»«LSTICAL.
MEETING AT HARRISBURG.
No doubt is notv left of the re-election of Gov. Wolf
by a majority of about THREE THOUSAND. We
congratulate the Democracy of Pennsylvania, and of the
Union, on this auspicious event. It leaves the coalesced
Opposition without a hope of defeating the re-election of
, our honest and fearless Chief Magistrate.
I he BRII1SII BANK has put forth all its power in
this conflict, and has been defeated. Its base ingratitude in
attempting ti destroy Governor Wolf, the members of
Congress who voted for its re-charter, and the members of
flfi: legislature who recommended it, merely because they
are Democrats, will justly rouse against it the whole
power of that party. In the tone of the democratic pa
pers, and in movements of the people, upon various points,
the Bank may see the gathering storm which will soon
demolish the remnant of its power. The Wolf men and
Ritncr men, all who claim the name of Democrat, are
now mustering and uniting under the banner of Jackson
! and our country. We give below, a letter Irom Harris
burg, with the proceedings of the meeting adverted to, co
pied Irom the Pennsylvania Reporter, to show the begin
j ningof the rally which will soon be heard from the Dela
j ware to the Ohio.
Harrissuro, Oct. 16, 1882. i
I)k\r Sir: Already arc the democracy of the State
preparing lor the coming fight. On Saturday evening a
| meeting ol the friends of Jackson was assembled on a no
I tice ol a few hours. It was the largest political meeting
; e'e| field in this town, friends ol YYolt and supporters
! of Ritncr met without regard to the feeling engendered
>y tin! election that had just passed, determined for union
I on the Presidential election. The cry is now, Jackson
and democracy against the Bank and aristocracy, ami
i * _ ^ riin !>o no iloiiht of .liickion’s siicccm in Pennwylvp
nia by forty thousand. You may rely with tho utmost
confidence in this assertion. The Presidential and Gu
I bernatorlal questions will be decided on entirely distinct
principles.— Globe.
[From tho Harrisburg(Ps.) Reporter.]
Jackson and YVii.kins Mkktino.
On Saturday evening last, at very short notice, an un
i usually large meeting of (be fiieiids of Jackson and YY'il
kin«, assembled at the public house of Mrs. Fridley, in'
this borough. 1 he proceedings will he found in this pa
per. All present evinced a determination to go on in the
I good cause, and no doubt can he entertained, but that the
, people of Pennsylvania will do their duty, and faithfully
; support Jackson and YY’ilkins, the regularly nominated ran
j 'lidales of the democratic party. One of the resolutions
j recommended township meetings for the appointment of
i Committees ol Vigilance, which we hope will be attended
, to by our (riends in the country.
Agreeably to public notice, a very large number of tho
l citizens of the borough of Harrisburg and its vicinity
friendly to the election of Gen. ANDKEYV JACKSON
; and Y\ II.LIAM YY’ILKINS, for President and Vice Pre
i aident ol the United States, met at the public hou«e of Mrs.
Fridley, on Saturday evening, the 13th of October inst. lor
the pm pose of promoting flic above elections.—The meet
I fi'K " as organized by appointing SAMUEL POOL, K«n,
President; Major Mrnry Runyan of Millershurg, ami
John Knepdry of Harrisburg, Vice Presidents;'Col.
Joel llniley and Geo. //. Hitrher, Secretaries. The mcet
i ing being thus organized, it was
Itetohed, That a committee of five persons be appoint
ed to draft resolutions expressive of their feelings on the
j approaching election for President and Vice President of
| the United Slates.
" hereupon, the following persons were appointed :
Henry Buelilcr, llenry Crangle, J. C M’Alister, A. B.
Hamilton, John M. Forster.
The committee withdrew a short time, and reported
■ tl'« following resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the
extraordinary result ol the recent elections within the im
i '"ediate sphere of the Hank of the United States, plainly
i denote the workings of an influence which, if not stran
gled in its birth, bids lair to prove dangerous to the liber
ties ol the country.
Resolve,I, That the opposition of President Jackson to
large monopolies, gives him a new claim to the support
ol the democracy ol Pennsylvania, which, as far as we are
concerned, we pledge ourselves to give him.
Resolved, That we have entire confidence in the ta
tents and republican principles of William Wilkins, and
J 1,1 ''l- devo'ion to the best interests of Pennsylvania.
| Resolved, That it be recommended to the friends ot
Gen. Jackson in Dauphin county, to meet at their usual
; |> aces ol meeting in their respective townships on Satur
day the 20th of October inst. and appoint Committees of
I \ igilatice to further his election.
I he following preamble and resolutions were then of
lerrtl j»nd im.tmmonsly adopted:
I lie democratic party of Pennsylvania by its represen
I Stives in the Convention, of the 5th of March last, no
minated Andrew Jackson for President, William Wilkins
lor \ ice President of the United States, and George
"oil. for Governor ol this Stale; these nominations have
been approved by the people. The late election of Gover
nor Wolf, lias confounded the opponents ol Gen. Jackson.
Ihe Presidential question was prematurely forced upon
the people, and it has been decided by the people. The
election of electors of President and Vice President, on
the second day of November, will require another effort
ol the democractic party to sustain and perpetuate correct
principles and sound maxims of Government. The friends
ol Jackson and \\ ilkins, are urged to activity and vigi
ance, by Die untiring exertions of their opponents, aided
; by a powerful monied aristocracy, the Bank of the United
! Mates, whose means there is good reason to believe, are
employed lor tlie unholy purpose ol introducing into our
; elections bribery and corruptions. Witness,
j 1.1 lie funds furnished by the officers and agents of the
Bank at the late election in Philadelphia.
2. The Loans of the Bank to Editors of Public Journals
and (be course of their journals.
•L 1 lie drill of the I’iesident of the Hank, sent lately to
an editorofan anti-Jackson paper in Pittsburg.
This is n state of things revolting to Freemen. Presi- |
dent Jackson has sustained his integrity. His predictions 1
are verified and his objections proved by the conduct of
the Bank. Appeals are made, as if the freemen of this
Union were about to elect a President of the Bank, in
stead of a President of the United States; ts if (lie Con
stitution contemplated nothing more, by the Chief Magis
trate, it designates, than an agent of the people to sign the
Charter ol a Bank. I he Bank is loudly proclaimed by its
agents, as the stay ol the government, the hope of die pat
riot and die bond of the Union of the States. Paramount
to every thing else, the only test of the fitness of a can
didate lor any office, is his opinion of (lie Bank of the Unit
ed States. \\ hen the agents and oliicers of a monied aris
tocracy have the effrontery for such reasons and by such
, means, to invade the sanctuary of our rights, it is time for
' Ircemen to act. Therefore,
Jitsulvctl, 1 li.it iii the opinion of this meeting, the oh
, lections of President Jackson to the Bank of (lie United
States, as an institution dangerous to our rights, arc fully
sustained by the facts which have lately transpired.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, a Bank
of the United States, can he created with facilities ade
i|uate to the object of the institution, without granting to
U powers, and creating an influence, which in the hands
Oi had men, may prove dangerous to our free institutions.
ilcsolvcd, 1 hut the public services, the tried integrity,
the clear head and the sound heart of Andrew Jackson
eminently recommend him for re-clcciion to (ho ollice ol
President ol the United States.
Resolved, That the nomination of William Wilkins, dis
tinguished for his liberal and enlightened talents, as a Ju
rists and as a Senator, meets our hearty approbation, and
that we will yield him our entire support for the ofl'ice ol
Vice President of the U. States.
Resolved, That we will use all honorable means to en
I s"ro tbc election ol Jackson and Wilkins, the candidates
for the democratic party of Pennsylvania, for President
and Vice President of the U. States.
Resolved, That the Proceedings of this meeting be
published in all (he Jackson papers of this borough.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he
signed by the Piesideut, Vice President and Secretaries.

STATE CONVENTION OF DEMOCRATIC RKPUHLICAN
YOUNG MEN.
At a Convention ot Delegates, representing the Rcpub
bean Voiing Mon, of the stale of New York, assembled
: pursuant to public notice, at the village of Herkimer, on
j tlie till day ol October, 1832:
A. J. Vales, Esq., of Oswego, read to the Convention, a
letter which he had received from the American Board of
C ommissioners lor Foreign Missions, shewing that the let
ter which has been published in the “ Oswego Free
/ less, and in various country newspapers, purporting to
have been written by the President of the United States
to said Board ol Commissioners, on the subject of the im
prisoned Missionaries, in Georgia, is a wilful for
gery.
On motion of If. C. Murphy, Esq., the forged letter, at
tributed to the President, and the letter from the Board ol
Missions, were ordered to be inserted in the proceedings
of this convention—they are as follows: &
“.Missionary Rooms, Boston, Sent. 21, 1832.
“Mr. A. J. Yates, Oswego, N. Y.—
“Dear Sir:—Yours of llth inst. to Mr. Anderson is re
ceived. In reply, I would state that a memorial respect
ing the Cherokee difficulties, including the case of the im
prisoned Missionaries, was forwarded to the President of
the United States by our Board last November; to which
i a reply was received through the Secretary at War. The 1
! reply simply takes the ground, that the President has no I
I te interfere. lioth this and tlie incinoiial were pub- i
j fished in the Boston papers about the first of January Iasi, '
; and subsequently in oilier papers extensively in different
parts of the country. The letter in the Free Press was
! never received by us. * » * »
“Very respectfully, yours, D. GREEN.”
THE FORGED LETTER.
I fni'ii me “Oswego rue Press. ]
“Gentlemen,—1 have tlie honor (o acknowledge the re
ceipt ot your Mcmorial, stating that certain Missionaries in
the State ol Georgia have been imprisoned, for alleged of
fences against that State, and requesting my inlefurencc in
furthering their release.
“In reply, 1 have to inform you that the power vested
in mo has been placed in my bands for the purpose el seeing
the lawsof the United States justly and impartially admin
istered, and not for the purpose of abusing them, as I most
assuredly should do, were I to interpose my authority in
the case brought before me in the Memorial. The State
ol Georgia i* governed by its own laws, and it any injus
tice has been, or is committed, there are competent tribu
nals at which redress can be obtained, without an appeal to
me. I do not wish to comment upon the causes of the itn
piisonment »f the Missionaries alluded loin your Memori
al; hut I cannot n-lrain from observing that here, as in most
other countries, they are, by their injudicious zeal, (to
give it no harsher name,) too apt to make themselves ob
noxious to those among whom they are located.
_ANDREW JACKSON.”
ALL MAIL OHIO!!
I he Hank Parly are completely routed in this great and
patriotic State. The Republican Party for the last six
years have annually maintained a spirited contest; hut
although a majority of the people have been in favor of
the administration, they have not been aide to obtain the
ascendancy in the .State Government. In 1828, they
<le,ff"e<l '» «h*ir election ol Governor, and again in
lH.t.l, and never have they had a decided majority in the
Legislature. Now the picture is reversed.
Din. Lucas, who presided at the Baltimore Convention
which nominated Mr. Van Ihiren, is elected by a majority
j varying very little from SEVEN THOUSAND. His
major'ty in the counties from which we have heard, is 7,
n rnltrf Vulr in the remaining counties is less
than this majority. They may give Lyman 7<m majori

Duncan McArthur, the late Clay candidate for Govern
or, who so patriotically declined in pursuance of his bar
gain with the Anti-masons, has been reworded by the peo
ple with a disgraceful defeat in a run lor Congress, al
though there were two Jackson men running against him!
The renegade Stanbcry is defeated, although the Clay
party in the Legislature made a District for his especial
benefit. r
I lie apostate Itussell is defeated by a very largo major!*
7cn of fbe eleven Jack-on men elected, are thorough
