office of the Clerk of the Court of this County, and
are now ready for distribution.
ft la another column will be found a cornrnu
bication over the signature of Dr. Alei. Shaw, in
relation to the present militia law. It does not
become us, as the publisher of a democratic jour
nal, to show any preference for any of the various
' democratic candidates for the nomination for coun
; ty offices and therefore we feel ourselves bound to
give both sides an equal chance. After the norni
" nations by the convention are made, we conceive
1 it to be our duty to support the nominees.
"' ' THE PHILADELPHIA RIOTS.
An account of the late Philadelphia riots will
, be found in to-day 's paper, commencing on the first
page. ,. .
fjch Borne good whigs of our county have been
making a great noise about some votes which they
. allege were given by James K. Polk, against Revo-
' lutionary soldiers. What think they of the follow
' ing? Are they not afraid that they have been
, caught in their own trapf Try again, gentlemen
perhaps you will be able to clear your whig candi
' date for governor; perhaps not. We guess this
,' thing of hunting up old journals is a bad business
: for the whig.
,,WHO. IS THE FRIEND OF THE REVO-
' LUTIONARY SOLDIER? THE SLAN-
PERERS CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN NET
- READ, PEOPLE OF OHIO, AND DE
CIDE FOR YOURSELVES.
The Journal of last evening, with its usual reck
lecklessness and ignorance of the character of its
own friends, in speaking of Mr. Polk, asks: .
'.'Whether he did not on five several occasions
vote against bills for the relief of the surviving
officers ana waters qf me revolution!
By a reference to the journals of the House of
Congress we are enabled to answer this question,
which will put the editor of the Journal to shame
and confusion. Where does it put MORDECAI
- BARTLEY and his clique of bargain and sale
. friends in the House of Congress? Where? Yes,
. where are they? Can the Journal answer? Look
at it! Read it! - - J:..
Friends of the revolutionary soldier in Ohio,
can you vote for this Clay coon clique of bargain
end sale memory? No! No!! No!!! will resound
from every quarter of the State. Here are the
votes; let those who stand blasted by them before
public indignation, thank the editor of the Journal
for dragging them to the glare of the mid day sun.

DUELLING.
The following letter of Mr. Frelinghuyscn
against duelling comes in very good play about this
time. It deserves a place with the standing mat
ter of the whig Journals. The lettet was written
after the duel between Graves and Cilley, in which
Henry Clay bore such a conspicuous part How
do you like it friend Whig9?
. Tbenton, N. J. Mabch 5, 1838.
Gentlemen: On my way to the cars for this
place this morning, I received your note of invita
tion to attend a meeting of our fellow citizens at
Newark to-morrow evening, on the subject of the
late duel at Washington. I siucerely regret that
my professional duties here will detain me from
die meeting fot if ever on occasion called for an
expression of public feeling, the late scenes of
SHOCKING VIOLENCE most solemnly demand
it. Truly "the blood of war has been shed in
peace;" and this in high places and among the
law-makers of our country. ,.
THE LAW OF THE DUELIST IS AN OUT
RAGE UPON EVERY PRINCIPLE OF OR
DER AND HUMANITY. IT SETS THE
LAWS OF GOD AND THE INSTITUTIONS
OF A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AT DEFIANCE
and if MiafMURDEROUS SPIRIT he not met
and firmly and fearlessly REBUKED by the
frowns of public sentiment, on ourselves will abide
much of the guilt i"MURDER. . Itcan be check'.
ed and effectually repressed, whenever the people
true to then high duties shall rise in the majesty of
public opinion, and frown upon these ATTRO-
CIOUS DEEDS OF VIOLENCE; and the blood
of the MURDERED, the tears of the bereaved,
aod the commands of a righteous God, coil upon
them aow to speak, and bear their stern and indig
nant testimony against this HEAVEN DARING
sin. . .: ..
I hope, gentlemen, that your meeting and pro
ceedings may exert a powerful influence, and with
kindred demonstrations all over the land, prevail
to crush this alarming evil. , ,,, ..
Very respectfully, , .

;l THE MILITIA LAW.
Mr. Editor: I have noticed an effort on the part
of some to do Mr. E. Archbold injustice by con.
necting him with the odious militia law, which
passed the last session of the Ohio legislature.
A Mr. John Hampton Lewis has been prompted
by bis seal for the cause of truth, to send by mail
for a copy of the Journal of the House of Repre
sentatives, that he might learn the truth as to Mr.
Archbold's Course on the passage of the militia law.
Having been favored with the Journals by Mr.
Lewis, I find, on' page 524, the vote on the final
passage of the bill, and Mr, Archbold's name b
recorded among those who voted against it ' Mr.
A. bas uniformly denied having voted for the bill,
and averted that he argued against it on the floor
of the House of Representatives that it was sub
ject to constitutional objections; that it was unnec
essary and inexpedient, slid, uncalled for by the
people; that i tf operation was unjust and unequal,
ami that our taxe are already enormous and exor
bitant. , Why it is, that an effort has been made to
connect Mr. Archbold with this justly odious bill,
am at a loss to know, unless it bas been done for
the purpose of connecting his popularity with the
unpopularity of this bill, sod thereby renderiosr
nim as odious as the bill.
I regard the circulation of such ridiculous
falsehoods on a par with much of the political
slang used against alt faithful servants of the peo
ple. .. It is much to be deplored that political aspi
rants attempt to ride into office by. calumniating
Uieir opponents. Effort are making: to foster this
false charge upon Mr. Archbold by exhibiting gar
bled portions of the journals; but 1st no man be
deceived when hi wishes to see Mr. Archbold's
vote on the final passsge of the bill; lefbinf look
on page (24, snd there be will se his , name-re
corded against it. -I hold myself responsible for
the, truth pf Uis above statement as to Mr. Area-!
hold's vote. I htve no particular interest for Mr,
Archbold more than for any olhef honorable man,
All I wish to see is fair play snd no misrepresents
tion. tf be has in trudiy been guilty of any thing
that should render him repugnant to bis constitu
ents, let him stand or faH on bis o wn merits. "Let
justice be dons though the Heavens fall."

and Oth of August 1843) Conventions.
The manner of settling the claims of
our candidates for Congress will difl'er

such instructions as may be the will
of each individual township. The time
