TOWNSHIP MEETINGS.

MARCH 21, 1840

The questjon has been asked by tffe oppoaitioa—"what his your Democratic Legislature done for the people!” We answer they have done more for tba relief of the people than can bo pointed out in tbe whole vocabulary of;Fed* era) Whig management since the existence of a legislative body in the State; and that tooj With only a Democratic House' of Representatives, the opposition' having a majority of two lq the Senate.

Tae Federal Whig Leg is! a I are, last year, taxed the people thirty cents on the hundred dollars. A Democratic House of Representatives, this year, reduced .the taxes to-fifteen cents.— Let the people bear this in mind. The Federal Whig Legislature, list year, kept in office a board,of Internal Improvement, and a host of rod men and axemen, whose contingent expenses, including salaries, exceeded $61,000, A Democratic House,of Representatives, this year, re-organized the board, disbanded this horde of officers, and reduced-the contingent expenses to $2,300, saving tbe State about $59,000—enough to pay tbe interest on one million ftco hundred thoutanddollar* of State Bonds. Mark this also. - \ . r The Democratic House of Representatives, this year, passed a bill abolishing imprisonment fur debt—and the Senate, with a majority of two federal whigs, defeated (be bill. 'Let the people recollect.this in August neXt. * In short, the object of the Democratic Home of Representatives, wav, to pass laws for the henefitof tbe people. The object of the Federal Whig Senate was to defeat all their measures. '

Attack upon the Liberty of. the Press*

A most cowardly attack'was recently made upon one of the editors of the Madisoh Courier by Miltoh Stapp, the condemned Fund Commissioner of this Stile. It appears that the editors of the Courier had copied from the Indiana Democrat a synopsis of the few last days proceedings of the Legislature, in which there were some .pretty severe strictures upon the. qualifications and conduct of Gen. Stapp, at Fund Commissioner. This was the bead and front of their offending. . Gen. Stapp entered the Courier office, flourishing a large hickory dob, and in a very abrupt and ungehtlemaaly manner demanded of one of the editors whether he believed the statemeets contained in the article from the Democrat. The editor, not considering it a fair question; declined answering it. Whereupon the ; brave Knight of Federalism (notwithstanding! a man superior id stature to the editor) made a blow at his head with the hickory bludgeon, at the eame time swearing that be would give him i d—d caning. 4ln ibis the General was. sadly'disappointed. - Our, little friend of the Courier, with no other weapon than the naked Jut which be came into- the world with, closed in upop bis antagonist and gave him a pretty sound drubbing, which he richly deserved. The Genera), as a matter of course, was “sorry be shot,” and retreated in double quick-time. We doubt whether ho will slop short of Texas. And has U come to pass, that the Liberty op the Press —that great Palladium of the People’s rights—should- be wantonly attacked and trampled upon by. blood-hound demagogues and ruthless office holder? of the Federal party! Oh,' shame, shame, shame!! This affair reminds us of the disgraceful scenes which were enacted by some of the Federal office during tbs sitting of the Legislature.

Ifew Jersey contested Election settled*

It wilt be gratifying to our readers to leira that this much vexed question, after having been, ■taved off so iling through the cunning and intrigue of the Federal party in-Go tigress, baa* finally been settled in favor of the' Administration claimants. Some timesince a majority' of the committle on elections reported that the democratic claimants from the State of N. Jersey had, at the polls, received a majority of the lawful volts, as members of the twenty-sixth Congress, the resolution concurring in this and directing the Speaker, to swear them into office, passed the House on the 10th intt., by a vote of 111 to 60. Many of thf opposition members refused to vote either for or against resolution, among whom was tha great ditorganiser , and sierabling-block to the affair throughout, John Q. Adams. Perhaps they thought it safest, on the final disposition of the matter, not to vote against the popular wilt and voice of the poeple. Be that as it may, howdver, if there had been any possible chance of staving it off longer, they would have dono so in defiance of the wit) of the majority.

The Pittsburgh Mercury says, ‘the Rev. Joan N. Mapfit, the distinguished and eloquent He* thodiit Preacher, died recently a Maysville, Ky. of apoplexy.*’ The New York Sunday Mercury says, "the Rev. J. N. Maffit is holding forth in Maysville, OAto, to Marge and fashionable* audiences.” Try it again, gentlemen.
