GOveynOv R;tuer. ef Pa.-This distinguished Whig has been clalmed as a convert, first by Che Loco FOcOs, and afterwards by the Liberty party Both claims were false.

 The last Carlisle Herald contains letter address, ed to the Hon. John Reed by Governor Ritter, in refutaton of assertion made by the Loco Foco press that he had abandoned the Whfg cause, and would support Mir. Polk. Gov. R. declares himself op- posed to the Utopian Free Trade doctrines, man. ufactured by English writers and orators, for the purpose of deluding Americans, and subserving British interests , in favor of the Tariff of 42, in favor of ditributing the proceeds of the Public Lands opposed to the annexation of Texas, and in favor of preserving the integrity and independence of the Union at all hazards After giving his views, which we have briefly described above, he says :- ss The above are my views in regard to the great questions involved in the Presidential election and as James K. Polk is supported by party who have declared in their public proceedings that they in favor of annexation of Texas, and pledged their candidate to the support of the same measure, and as he has, by his own acts while member of Con- gress, uniformly opposed those measures which deem essential to the prosperity of the nation, cannot support his election. On the other hand, MT. Clay comes nearer to my views, much nearer, than Mir. Polk; therefore do not oppose his elec- ton It must be admitted, that in this contest, our State election is of the utmost importance; its fate decides whether Clay or Polk is to get the vote of of this State. The election of Gen. Markle will secure the State for Clay. Let us then direct all our energies on elect Gen. Markle. He is man for whom every good citizen can vote he is true to his country, and to his God he will not basely bow the knee to an idol. five carry the outworks in October, the citadel must yield in November.

 I am, most respectfully,

 Your friend and fellow-citizen,

 JOSEPH RITNER.
