Sir—On my arrival here last evening, your paper of the 31st July was prcesa ted to me, containing a letter from Gon. J. Hamilton, of the 283th ult, in which my claim against the late republic of Texas is mentioned, and to which I therefore ask leayo to make a brief reply. Ihave never made but one investment in tho funds of Texas, and that at a very early date—be- ing one of the holders of her funded debt, issaed under the act of Congress, of the 7th June, 1837— and of course my debt, according to her late scaling operation, would have been reduced only to seventy cents in the dollar, while many others wero scale! as Jow down as twenty. It was dono in tho city of Houston, while Congress was in session, under tho most positive assurances of many of her most distin- guished citizens, that I would certainly be paid. All the rater I bad and could borrow—the proceeds of my life’e labor--was. thus appropriated, aud I have been rotiog hard ever since to earn my bread and un port my family, not having bought or sold ons dollar of Texan securities of any desoription. At the very first session of the Congress of tho United States, after the annexation of Texas was consummated, I petitioned for payment, and have been constantly urging my demand, becauso I knew it to be just, and have filed conclusive proofs from the highest official authority in Texas to that effect. If disputed by Texas or the United States, I am ready to go before the Supreme Court of the United States, or any other fair tribunal, and settle the question. Ihave never doubted that both Texas and the United States were bound for my dobt. The first, by her bonds in my possession, issued according to law, in my favor ; the latter, by having taken pos- session of the revenues of Texas, specially pledged to me by contract, without my consent or acquies- cence. And they cannot both repudiate an honest debt. One or the other must pay mo. Correspondence. Concorn, N. H., August 9, 1952, Refutation of the Charges of W.E. Robinson against Franklin Pierce and his Ancestors—Ex- posure of Twelve Falschoods—Money Changing Hands—The New Hampshire Records Garbled and Misquoted by Robinson—The ‘ Whereabouts” of Emmet, ‘my Friend, Silas Herring,” and espectally Simeon Draper, earnestly sought after. In the Henan of August 7, I find reported a apecch made by a Mr. W. H. Robinson, at a Scott meeting in the Sixth ward of your city, on the pre-. vious evening. This individual makes certain statements, relative to the position of old¥Genoral Benjamin Pierce, and his son Genoral Frank! in Pierce, on the clauges of the Now Hampshire con- stitution excluding from certain offices those who are not “ of the Protestant religion,” and backs up his aseertions in tho following words: “Thave made several assertions, aud I will deposit one huadred dollars, and leave the decision to Robert Emnvt, to say whether I have misrepresented way thi: to night. * * * TI have not much reputation, but think I hear my friend Silas Herring say. he will risk one hundred dollars on what I say, Fam not rich, but I re- peat, I will risk ono hundred dollars on every leading as- sertion I have made. I want to make short work of this ; and if they can prove I have made amy misrepre- sentation, they can have my money,” &e. Now, with the Hrnap's permission, I propose to examine some of the statements of this Mr. Robin- son, and show their fulsity. He says that he has been to this town (Concord) and examined tho old journals and records, on which he bases his fulse as- sertions. Roferring to the religious test, he is re- ported to have eaid :— This constitution was made in 1792, just sixt) ago, and old Pierce voted to have that ob wines obnoxious clause putintoit. Lhave looked over the old document, not printed, for they print nothing in New Hampshire, And again, in the report of his remarks, written out for the Zribune, Robinson makes the same as- sertion more distinctly, as follows :— On the second day (1791) of the session, » motion was made to strike cut the sixth orticle (as it now stands) in the Bill of Rights, providing for * the support and main- tenance of the Protestant teachers.” ‘The yeas wore 14, (Greeley, Stark, Whipple, Hutchins, &&¢., among the yeas). ‘The nays were 88, and Benjamin Pierce, Frank- lin’s father, and Charles O’Conor's respected and con- fided-in codent.”? voted against religious liberty. Ibave ‘*the document” now before me, as well asa copy of the constitution of 1783, which was in force previous te the adoption of the present ono in 1792. The following is the extract from the jour- nal of the 1791-2 conventions, to which Robinson re- fers, but. which he has garbled and misrepresented, by ,Suppressing ® materiaY portion, marked in italics :— The sixth article wos read and largely debated, and rome alterations proposed. but no yote obtained in favor of the alterations, A motion was made to erase the sixth article, in order to substitute another in its stead. On which motion the yeas and nays were called. and are as fol- lows :—{Here the yeas and mays were recorded, Pierce Voting in the negative—yens 14, nays 88.) Robingon says that this sixth article provided ** for the support and maintenance of the Protestant ee left the chair and followod the late Judge Woo! , seven years, in 1813, under the same; and again, a bury in an able aod forcible wee fourth, in 1820, under Governor Bell. ana U ing both the religions and property quslifieation So much for this additional misrepresentation of A meeting, theobject of whic’ is stated in the tests, which . he stigmatized as Misgrachfal to the | Robinson—tie No 12, in all, I betievo, which hive | ception, was held at She grove in Seoond | State: “Ho was attentively listened to by mom n exposed. “Op anotber occasion,” portaps “I | 8bove Verango, Philadel on Bundsy, the than four hundred persons.

Buteuoegh +t They put forth as their motto that the ideal ain, in tho same way, at the adjourned session (0 algo took the floor at the ond of the five divs” town cea this place, last Maroh, and earnest!: called upon these tosta. Ever since he entered public life, bas he uniformly and consistently danounced and voted against these tosts—even before Richelieu Robinson knew of their existence, Ho has never failed to advocate their abolition, whonever the question of calling & convention has been before t! 19 people, which has occurred four or fivo times since he came into public lifo In 1844, tho last time before 1850 when the question of holding a convention came up, to my personal knowledgo he advised that the de- mocratic tickots, for the whole State, be printed in favor of calling a convention. 2.—Robingon aseorts in the Tribune-—** Ho (Gen. BP) had nothing to do with * bringing forward’ tho subject. Tho resolution abolishiog the test was drawn up by Mr. Parker, of Nashua, a whig, and wes ‘brought forward’ by Mr. Parkor, Nov. 13, when it was discussed in convention.” Se far from this statement being true, tho following appears to have been the fact from the reported proceedings of Nov. 12, 1850 :— Mr. Weeks (democrat) of Ci tee on Property Qualifications ported the following resolution : Kesolved—That it ia expedient, in revising the con. stitution to omit. or strike out, all the provisions tht ro- quire a religious test. It does not appear, by the record, that Mr. Parker had anything to do with either * bringing for- ward” or favoring tho resolution, But it does a) ear, from the record, that Mr. Parker, at the ad- eee session, April 16, 1851, both apoke and voted against submitting to the people the amend- ments al ele ® the religious test and property qualifications. With him voted the following lead- ing whig members:—Saw yor, of Dover, whig can- didate for Governor in 1350-61; Chamberlain, of Keene, tho previous whig candidate for Governor; Kelly, of Exeter, thon and now United States pen- sion agent; Marston, of Exeter; Sawyor, Spalding, and Abbot, of Nashua; Stevens, of Charlestown, formerly whig candidate for Governor and Con- rors; Walker, of Claremont, late delegate to the ational ie Convention, and member of the Whig State Committee; Britton, of Orford; Kim- ball, of Lebanon; Sawyor, of Piermont, and nu- morous other prominent whig politicians. So far as General Pierce is concerned, the record shows, ‘hat Judge Woodbury having, as early as November I1, moved to strike out the word ‘* Protestant’ from the 6th section of the Bill of Rights, and tempo- rarily withdrawn the motion, some other business intervening— Mr. Pierce, of Concord. proposed to Judge Woodbury to renew his motion to strike out the word “ Protesiant,’’ in the 6th article, which he did, and the word was stricken out. This was the first action upon the subject of the lous test, either in the convention, or in the committee of the whole. 3. Robingon’s representation that General Pierce did not advocate ‘Catholic emancipation” nntil a. from the Commit- Religious Tests, re- teachers.” ‘So it did; for there were no others within the limits of the State at that time—(1792) —neither Catholic nor Jew Hero is an article When Mr. Pcarce’s jain bill became a law, I promptly complied with its provisions, by filing the evidences of my debt, and a full release of the United States, so as to receive payment out of the reserved five millions, but under the decision of the Secretary of the Treasury, have received nothing. Under this state of the case, Texas has attem to enforce a Hmitation act, violative of her contract with me and other credi- tors, barring our claims entirely, because we would not surrender our original obligations, and take her certificate for such partial payment, as hor auditor and treasurer might recommend, at some uncertain future day—a condition with which it was impossible for me to comply, as my last petition to Congress demonstrates, I have no idea of entering upon a ‘war’ with parbooy on this subject, least of al] with my follow sufferers. God help them and me, we have enough trouble now on hand, and I trust that our appli- cation for payment will be speedily and favorably responded to by Congress, as every honest man who will investigate the subject, will say it ought to be I take leave herewith to send an argument, which I would be gratified to have inserted in your columns. Respectfully, yourmost obedient servant, Lxsite Comns. Need of Emigrants in this Country, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. I notice with sorrow, in your paper of to-day, that the hospitable asylum for distressed foreigners, in Canal street, is to be closed at night against their admission—I hope not in the day, as it is a great con- venience to persons wanting servants I have em- ployed many green hands from it, of both sexes, and shall be oy when J shall be deprived of the privi lege. But the main object in my addressing you at allat this time is, that while the public press is teeming, daily, with the burden the city bears with the heavy arrival of foreigners, why do not some of the press advocate their going to the fines: cli- mate in this country, namely, Virginia? There, owing to the meddling influence of the abolitionists, and such papers as your Tribune and Times, the ne- groes are being sent further South by the hundreds, to a worse home than they now enjoy; and the con- sequence is, labor is very scarce all around Richmond its vicinity. ood laboring man can get his twelve dollarsa month,and board,all the year round, winter and summer, and not be kicked out of em- ploy, in the month of October, as he is here, with ‘well, I believe I don’t want you auy more.” Twen- ty thousand can find work about Richmond and one hundred miles of its vicinity. Advocate it—for their good, for ours. A friend writes me : ‘‘ We pay for negro men horrible ees Only think, one hundred and twenty-five dollars a year, their board, cloth- ing, doctor’s bill, life insurance, their sick time, and stealing. You arenow a New Yorker. Why do not your emigration societies send men, and women too, down here? There is plenty of work in our mills, tobacco factories, driving carts, digging foundations; and lastly, our farmers—they want 50,000 to fill the laces of those sent away South. We are se near Maryland, where the abolitionists have so many emissaries, that our negroes are tampered with, and we sell them right off, to keep their value, as we can- not keep their bodies. Can you not send mo by Roanoke, say twelve good men, at about $150 per ear and their board, for the whole year? Send by anoke, Saturday, and write me. Oh, happy day for Old Virginia, when the negroes are driven out, to emancipate the whites !’” Now, Mr. Editor, you are doing good all the while. Please call attention to this, and emancipate the white people of the Old Dominion. Hold it up to the Commissioners of Emigration. Go to Vir ginia. Yours, A Frrenp To Foreienenrs. New York, August 6, 1852. Tne Funerar or Mr. Rantout.—The obsequies of the Hon. Robert Rantoul, Jr., were performed at Beverly, his former residence, on Tuesday after- noon. The funeral cortege moved from the late re- sidence of the eloquent deceased at about three o'clock. It was long and imposing. It seemed as if the Joss was one which went to the heart of over, man inthe community where Mr. Rantoul was al- mest idolized. There was more than the “inky cloak,” the mere ‘trappings and suits of woc”— there was real feeling—real mourning. The whole male population of iti with delegations from many ois jaces, joined to swell the mournful procession.. The hearse was followed by a proces sion, in which were the Freemasons, the Odd Fel- lows, the Sons of Temperance, and various other societios. In this part of the procession was the city government of Salem, headed by Mayor Up- ham; also, a portion of the city government of Lynn. Then Kitlowea twenty-five carriages, con- taining the Congressional Committee, Mr. Rantoul’s family, and immediate friends. The procession moved to the First Unitarian Church, where ser- vices were condneted by Rev. ©. T. Thayer, of Beverly; and an eloquent address was prononneed py the Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Salem, an intimate friend of Mr. Rantoul. The reverend gentleman aid a most eloquent tribute to the memory of the Timented statesman, The pulpit was draped ia mourning. Tho shipping in port displayed their flags at balf mast, and many buildings were appro- riately dreseed. The coffin was covered with Bowers by the ladies of Beverly. The whole en- semble of the ceremonies was solemn and mournful in the extreme. Among the distinguished men present we noticed Franklin Haven, Franklin Dex- ter, and Isaac H. Wright, of Boston. The bod, of Mr. Rantoul was deposited in the family tomb at Beverly. aniline Spmitvat Rarrinos Iysanrry.—We are informed that Mr Orville Hatch, of Franklin, Conn., has be- from the sixth section, still in force. It authorixes towns, parishes, &c., ‘to make adequate prevision, at their own expense, for the support and mainte- nance of public Protestant teachers of piety, roli- gion, and morality”— Provided, notwithstanding, That the several towns, parishes, bodies corporate or religious socleties, shall, at all times, have the exclusive right of electing their own pullic teachers, and of contracting with them for their support and maintenance; and no person of any one par- ticular religious sect or denomination shall ever be com- jed to pay towards the eupport of the teacher or teach- of another persuasion, sect, or denomination.

Such are the words of the sixth section of the old constitution, which are retained in that now existing. 1 have copied from a volume entitled ‘The Perpetual Laws of the State o: New Ham; shire,” meaiatieg by John Melcher, at Portemontihy 1789, and authorized by the State authorities. The abovo extract contains all that 1s said in the sixth section about the ‘Protestant religion.” It will be seen, from the record of the convention of 1792, above given, that a proposition was made to strike out the whole of this sixth section, ‘‘ in order to sub- ativute another in its stead.” Old General Pierce voted against it—tbus voting in favor of to! and extending the protection of the laws to denomination of Christians demeani quietly,” &c. Had he voted to strike the section out, Richelieu Robinson might as justly, as he now does falsely, have charged him with voting “against religious liberty.” As the record pane has not Ropinson grossly falsified the truth, and libelled the glorious old Bunker Hill veteran, than whom a more tolerent and liberal-minded man never lived. No man was ever more free from the charges of reli- gious bigotry than old Gen. Pierce. What says Mr. Emmet? What: does ‘‘my friend Silas Herring” think about it? Is not Robinson’s assertion a gross mierepresentation? Will they not hand over $100 to yourcorrespondent? If they doubt the correct- ness of my quotations, letthem come to this town and examine the official records, now before me, which Robingon has garbled and perverted; or I will deposit at the Henan office the certificate of the Secretary of State, under his broad seal, attesting the correctness of my quotations, if they will appear with their money Again, Robinzon says in his speech, (as it appears inthe Tyibune), of old Gen. Pierce’s course in the convention of 1792:— September 10, the fourth day of the convention, a motion was made to strike out from section 14, under form of government (as it now stands) prescribing qualt- fications for members of the House of Representatives, the words * shall be of the Protestant religion.” Upon thie the yeas and nays were taken :—Yeas, for religious liberty, 33. and among them Jeremiah Smith, Aaron Greeley, William Plumer. Caleb Stack. &e. Nuys, for the penal laws snd anti-popery..51. and among them, Benjamin Pierce, Franklin's father, and Chartes O’Conor's favorite antecedent. The reeord shows that such a vote was taken on the day named; and the vote is recorded to have re- sultéd, ‘yeas 33, nays 51.” A record of the yeas only are entered upon the journal; and, instead of 31 ‘names, 36 are entered, all in the affirmative. Four names are erased with a knife, seven are written over a second time, and two are erased, and- interlineations made. No names are given in the negative, and Pierce’s name does not appear go en- entered. Robinson’s statement that ‘‘for the Penal Laws and Anti-Popery [there were] 51 [votes], and among them Benjamin Pierce, Franklin’s father, and Charles O’Conor’s favorite antecedent,” is de- liberately false, and a gross and utter perversion of both the record and the fact. Old General Pierce never gave such a vote as charged, and I can and will bring the Secretary of State, or the record it- self, or one hundred witnesses to attest the truth of what I now say. Will Mr. Emmet “pony up” his $1007 Will “my friend Silas Herring’ send along his $100? Let there be no backing out, gentle- men.

That sofar from all his [Fravklin Pierce's) ante- eedents being right, his er, Benjamin Pierce, voted to put the anti-Catholic clause into the constitution. and voted for the Alien and Sedition laws of old John Adams. Here are three distinct falehoods, stated. under one bead, to wit:—1. ‘That there was no anti- popery clause in the original constitution.” 2. That “Old Ben. Pierce put it in.” 3. That ho ‘voted for the Alien and Sedition laws of old John Adana.” 1. I have both the old and new constitutions now before me. In each the “religious test” is applied, in the same words, to the qualifications gor senators. In tho old one, the eame verbiage is |, in stating the qualifications for ‘* President ’—(thore was no such office as Governor, previous to 1792.) Both the old and new constitutions require that ‘ the walifications for councillors shall bo the same as those for senators.” Both contaip the same | guage. Robinson, himself, admits that tho ‘test was in the old constitution, for he twice falsely ac cuses (as above shown) old Gen. Piorce of votin, against striking it out. Mow could the old Genora! have voted to strike out what was not in? 2. Robinson says—‘‘Old Ben. Piorce put it in” — “he voted to put it in,” &c.

The debates were principally had in com- mittee of the whole; and the votes were subse- quently taken in convention on a resolution, report- ed by the committee on religious tests, as given below. Perbaps Robinson means to quibble, by saying that advocating ‘Catholic emancipation” in ‘‘com- mittee of the whole,” was not literally bringing the subject there ‘ before the convention.” 4. Robinson repregents, that some of the old “‘whig (federal) towns,” (Exeter, for instance.) voted unanimously againat the constitution of 1792, on account of the retention of the Protestant test, while democratic towns voted for it on that account. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is notorious that the federal towns opposed the present constitution on account of its being too tolerant, too liberal.

Newronr —But a day or two since we had to chroniele a serious disturbance at Newport in cons sequence of persons complaining of the principal hotels for selling liquora in defiance of the law ‘tho informors were pelted with rotten eggs, and othor- wise assaulted. We have now to record a more serious affair, resulting from a nuisance in manage- ment, which prevails to a Large cxtent in fashion- able hotels. The facts in the case are that, at tho Ocean House, a waiter attempted to take a dish froma Southerner, who was serving himself and friends from it, at the dinner table on Sunday. The gontle- man refusing to give it up, and the waiter poraisting in taking, the former struck him in the face—witn a case knife, it is said—cutting him severoly. The waiter was dismissed by the landlord, but re- iowsted on the threat of a portion of the waiters to leave. There wes no further difficulty until the next morping, when a band of waiters approached the Southerner’s' chair, evidently for a disturbance, upon which he deew pistols. and, threateniog to shoot who- ever came near him, kept the waiters—all [rivbh—at bay, until joined by several friends, when a regular aa down comménced, and the waiters were ex- piled. Great excitement, of course, prevailed among tho ladies at the table. After the waiters were ex- pelled, the gentleman—so says tho report—was ur- gently requested toleaye with his fumily, as there was every chance for another attack, which must have ended in great bloodshed. Ho left on Mon- day accompanied by somo fifty friends, and hundreds of Southerners (report says) who could not leave with him, determined to leave on Tuezday. We bave but little comment to make on these facts. Almost every frequenter of fashionable hotels is aware of a nuisance, to which this fracas is chargeable. It ia the habit of waiters, though stationed at particular points of the table, to serve particular parties, rushing pell-mell for whatever dish may look aerials inviting on any part of the table. With a choice dish before him, a gontleman very Dei aly wishes to serve himself and the friends around him, especially if they be ladies; yet it is common, unlees decide reaistance is offored for wa.ters to pass the entire length of the table and seize upon particular dishes, whoever may be serv- ing from them. Whether it should be charged to meagreness of dishes of the kind, or the system of feeing waiters by which a class of travellers and boarders manage to crib the “cream” of tho feast, we leave our readers to judge. The fact of the nuisance, of whioh the Newport case was a speci- men, is well known, and ought to be corrected. As to the hotels of Newport, they are not unlike others of their class, though we never before heard special complaint of them, nor of any disturbance caine to their tablearrangements. Insolent waiters should not be kept in # hotel ; neither shoulda gentleman, under any circumstances, bandy words or quarrel with a waiter. The true and only remedy, if peareoe is complaint to the authorities of a hotel. One thing is now evident, that Newport, un- less the Liquor Law of Rhode Island is evaded or repealed, and a reform in portions of the hotel man- agement introduced, will soon be abandoned as a pleasure resort—save that it may become dotted with private residences whore, under his own vine and fig-tree, ever? man can sit, and eat and drink what he pleases.— Mirror, of yesterday. have the property qualification for senators and councillors fixed as high as £500, instead of £200. They were in favor of compelling the poople of the State (instead of allowing towns and parishes to do £0) to support a particular religious denomination— the Orthodox Congregationalists. This denomina- tion was largely in tho ascendant up to 1519, and was virtually made a prescribed religion, by most of the towns annually voting to support its clergy. in 1519, the Toleration act was passed. It was tre.uously supported by old Gen Pierce and the demceratic party, and ag universally opposed by the federalists. or present whig party. The Toleration act allowed all religions denominations equal privi- legee, snd did away with the practice of towns voting to support the ‘orthodox’ ministers, so called. Since that time, other religious denomi- nations bove rapidly increased in New Hampshire. ‘y the Herap report :— a Wed. that as it requires a two third ove to alter the constitution. therefore the democratic porty and Pierce are not respon:ible for not altering it, at. necording to the constitution every seventh year le must vote whether they will have it altered or not end for tbat a bare majority is sufficient. Kvery seventh year, therefore. since 1792, the Pierces had the power to change it, for they had the locofoco party in the hollow of their hand. They bad the power to admit Catholics and Jews, but this two penny State of New Hampehire, controled by Pierce and ‘the democrats, would not do it. One would infer from the above, that, according to the New Hampshire constitution, the people may vote, by ‘‘a bare majority,” to amend it once in seven years. Such is not thefact. It cannot be amended, at any time, without a two- third vote. The people can, by im sanerl iy. wols, order, every seventh year, a convention to be held for the Nsom pose of submitting amendments to them. But theso amendments must subsequently receive @ two-third vote of the people to be in force. In representin, otherwise, Robinson has unintentionally furnishe the proof that be misrepresents, when he quotes sec- tions 99 and 100 of the present New Hampshire bune, August 7. Section 99 provides that, once in seven years, “when, in the opinion of the majority of the qualified voters in the State, there is a neces- sity for a revision of the constitution, it shall be the duty of the General Court to call a convention for that purpose.” Here is the concluding sentenog :— The delegates to be chosen in the same manner, and proportioned ae the representatives to the General Court: rovided, that no alterations shall be made in this con- stitution before the same shall be laid before the towns and unines ated places. and approved by two-thirds of the qualified voters preent and voting on the subject. The above fully shows the falsity of the repre- sentation, that ‘‘a bare majority is sufficient ” to alter the constitution once in seven years. It also shows the falsity of Robinson’s assertion, that ‘every seventh year since 1792 the Pierces had the power to change it, for they had the loco-foco y in their hand.” This is a repetition of one ofHorace Grecley’s favorite lies respecting this subject, which bas already been several times publicly refuted. The first State administration under the present consti- tution was in the bands of the federalists—now whigs. Josiah Bartlett, of Kingston, was elected Governor that year by the fedoral party. The ultra- fedeval’ (whig) administration of John Taylor Gil- man, of Exeter, commenced in 1794, and continued Juring the next ten years, until 1805. In that year the demoorate succeeded in electing their Governor for the first time, under the ‘revised contitution”— John Langdon, of Portsmouth, the apostle of demo- cratie republicanism in New Hampshire, as Thomas Jederson was in the Union at large. In 1869, the foderal parent of modern whiggery again tri- umphed, electing Jeremiah Smith of Exeter. John Langdon was'again chosen, in 1810. William Ptu- wer, of Epping, succeeded him in 1812. Ho was originally chosen by the democrats. In 1813 John slor Gilman again succeeded. In 1816. Wik Yiom Plumer. In 1819, Samuel Belt, of Chester. In 1823, Levi Woodbury, of Portsmouth. In I David L. Morrell, of Gofftown, supported by tho do- mocrats, (afterwards joining the Smith and Gilman federalists, as did also the Bells and Plumers ) In 1829 the democrats secured a permanent asconden- ey for several years, continuing until tho famous al- Hance between the whigs and abolitionists, who elected J. P. Hale United States Senator, and An- thony Colby (whig) Governor, in 184: In 1829 Benjamin Pierce, of Hillsboro’, was elected. In 1820 Mathew Harvey, of Hopkinton, who was ap- pointed prasent United States Judgo by General Jackson, and resigned tho office of Governor Febru- ary, 183%. In 1831 the democrats lected Samuel Dinemoor, the eer, of Keene. In 1834 William Badgez, of Gilmanton. In 1836 Isaac Hill, of Con- cord. In 188% John Page, of Haverhill. In 1812 Henry Hubbard, of Charlestown. In 1844 John I. Steele, of Peter! In 1846 Anthony Colby, of New London. In 1847 Jared W. Williams, of Lan- cosver. la1849 Samuel Dinsmoor, the younger, of iseenc. dn 1851 Noah Martin, of Dover. From 1812 to 1819 was called the “ era of good feelings,” when party lines were not strictly drawn, but the federalists virtually ruled. Tt will be seca that the federal or whig party was in power when the present constitution was formed, that it eon- tinued so for tho ten years succeeding. That party hag subsequently had the ascendency, et dif- ferent periods, some ory or ten years. So far from Robingon’s assertion, that “overy seventh yaar sinoe 1792 the Pieres’s had the powor to chang it,” {ihe constitution.) being true, the reverse ia tho fact. For the last sinty years, the democratio party has never, at any period, commanded & “two-thirds” majority. It was not the dominess party in 1792, when the constitution wasadopted.

Three officers were despatched to a house situated between Danville and Washingtonville, where, on the plea of wishing to purchase some counterfeit money, they gained admittance, and found three persons engaged in the manufacture of counterfeit bank notes, ‘Ihe party soon suspected the intentions of the officers, aud fled to the woods. The officers followed in pursuit, but were only able to tuke one of the gang, by the name of Geltner, by wounding him with a pistol. They then returned to the house, and on examining it, in the second story afull set of engravers’ instruments, a printing- press, the chemical and other preparations used in making covpterfeit- money, were found, besides $600 in$2 counterfeit Harrisburg Bank notes, which were wet—having just been printed. This description of money was being worked off when the officers went to the house. A large amount of counterfeit Is., 2s and 5s., purporting to be of the Lancaster Bank issue, were also found secreted in different see ofthe house, together with 5s. on the York jank, 5s. on the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Bank of Pittsburg, 208 on the Cape May Bank, al- tered from the notes of the exploded Millington Bank, end 10s. on the Bank of Northumberland, The plate from which the Harrisburg counterfeits were worked, was carried away by one of the parties who escaped, but the officers succeeded in getting the plates of the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Bank at Pittsburg and the Cape May Bank, at a house about thirteen miles distant, on the road lead- ing to Turbotville. Dr. Geltner was conveyed to Danville as quickly as possible, in consequence of his wound, and lodged in the jail, where he was at- tended by Dr. James D. Strawbridge, of that place, who pronounced his wound severe, but not serious. In the evening of that day, Justice William Kitchon heard the case, and committed the defendant to pri- son, in default of $3,000 bail.
