Yankee dork Abroad.
We find tho following letter in the Roches
ter Democrat:
It is well known throughout tho Union that
Connecticut ia the Clock State. We are re
presented in every town by the tick wc give.
For tho last three years we hove been gradu
ally pushing our notes of time, into foreign
countries ; mid such has ben our success that
within a few hours' ride of this city one thou
sand clonks arc finished daily; and it if a fair
PHtimale to put down five hnndrcd thousand
chx ks as being manufactured in this State last
vrar. This year the number will still be in-
rrasod, as John Bull is fd flow in his move
ments that there is nohof e of reform until he
has plenty of Yankee monitors Those we an;
ow sending him by every ship that clears
rem our seaport.
In 111 a few clocks were) exported there
an experiment. They were seized at the
Custom House in Liverpool on the ground that
they were undervalued. The invoice price is
1 50, and the duties 00 per cent. They, how
ever, were soon released, the owner having
accompanied them and satisfied the authorities
that they could be made r.t a profit, even thus
low. Mr. Sperry, of the firm of Sperry &
Rhaw, was the gentleman w ho took out the
article. lie lost no time, after getting posses
sion of his clocks, in finding an auction house.
They were made of brass works cut by machi
nery out of brass plate, and a neat mahogany
case enclosed tho time piece. Tiie first invoice
old for XI to jfti, or about S20 caeh. Since
that time every packet carries out an invoice
of the article, and 40,000 clocks have been sold
by this one firm, Sperry &. Shaw. O'.her? are
now in the business, and the North of Europe
has become our customers. India, too, is loo
ked to as a mart for these wares, several lots
having been forwarded to the pir'.s of China.
A driving business is now daing in this line,
and clocks to the amount of about a million of
dollars a year are now manufactured in the
State, which, 1 assure you, gives employment
to many hundred persons, who are fed mostly
on Western Wheat, Pork, Butter, Cheese and
Reef, and clothed in part by Western Wool. In
thoi t, from this one branch of business, at least
100,000 will go to your section of country
this year for the necessaries of life to sustain
the workmen. Our folks have got a notion
that it is better to draw from 3 to 00.000 a
year for these clocks out of foreign nations in
canh, and thereby enrich the country, than to
import the pay for them in English goods,
which impoverishes the nation. hat do you

The Personal Manner of Washington.
"What a personal presence was that of the
Father of his Country ! All accounts agree
in this. We heard an old gentleman pay, not
long ago, that when a clerk in Philadelphia, he
used to walk two or three squares every morn
ing, to meet Washington as he came down
Market street to bin quarters. 'The dignity,'
Fa id he, 'of his movements, the grace of his salu
tation, and the culm sweetness of his smile,
were beyond description or comparison.' Sit
ting the other day on a log, scarcely a stone's
throw from where Andre was captured, and
not far from the little Sleepy-Hollow Church,
we conversed an hour with a Revolutionary
patriot, tremulous with the palsy of age, who
pointed out ti U3 the npot, over the Toppan Sea
which lay before us, where Andre was hung,
and where, on that day the troops 'spread out
thick and black a long way from the gallows.'
lie lived at Verplanck's Point, close by, when
Arnold came down in his barge and went on
board the Vulture, all which he himself saw.'
They fired two cannons at the barge,' said he,
from this side having got news of the treason
by express but the gun burst at the second
dibcharge, and tookofTthe legs, to the thighs,
of a poor fellow, who was brought to our house,
but he died in two hours.' 'The army then lay
at Bedford,' continued the old veteran ; 'and I
tiw General Washington almost every day.
He was a liable looking man; his countenance
wes terribly pleasant. He did not talk much,
but even the little children fairly loved him ;
and they used to gather about the door of his
marquee every morning to see him ; and he
used to pat their heads and smile on them, it
waa beautiful to see' How uniform ond uni
versal is this 'testimony of the eye' in the re
collections of Washington."

"You Can't Come it."
Peter Ysndling and a couple more nf the Nor.
ihumbfrland gentry, took tho trouble of travelling
through the tipper end of Augusta, one dny last
weik, to tell the people that if K. Y, Bright, the
democratic candidate, was elected, ho would have
law passed to compel Auguata township to make an
embankmci.t above the bridge, to keep the water
out of Sunbury duting floods in the river ! ! ! This
story is too ridiculous to he believed for moment.
No such law could be pas.ed, nor was it ever
thought of until it entered the heads of some wise,
acres in Northumberland, who thought, although
it wns a very silly story, that it might do to deceive
and gull the prople of Augusta. But we are not
quite such ignoramuses on this aide of the tivrr aa
they take us to be. It ia true, ilia', u few ye.iri
since, they boasted thai they "had all the intelli
gence on their aide, of the river, and therefore ought
io have all the offices;" but they ought not to
suppose that we are complete funis.
Peter, and the fellow a w i h him, knew ih it they
were uttering what was entirely untrue, without a
thadow of foundation. Try it agjin, Peter. Per.
hips the crew about Forty the'e comer can invent
something bearing the semblance of truih, and the
only difficulty in ynur t ailing it about, i, that the
man who is enuglit in one fibehiiod is not likely
to be again believed, even if he should jr..k tho
truth !
Our Side.
At a county convention, two years since, one of
the Northumberland d'sorgHniseia said, "we have
all the intelligence on our side of the river, and
ought to have the offices, fur there aro very few on
yrur sido of the river that are fit to fill an office !"
One of our demociats was very near breaking his
jaws at the time, for his impudence. Such an as
srition is so silly, thut we did not suppose that any
number of Democrats in the Forks entertained
such an opinion, and yet they seem to act aa if
they did, for they want all ihe offices. But the Dc
nvcrary on tliis aide of the river will how lb
disorganising Democrat of the. Fuik" that we have
a fiw democrats fit to fill a county office, and that
we know enough to defiat thiir attempt to destroy
the Democratic pnr'y.
The Dlsorganiscrs' Candidate-.
William Forytl e was a Candida's for Shoriff,
against the D mncratic tickrt in 1824, and gtt but
3t5 votes in (he county!! Of this number, he
receivid but 113 votes in tho tlx town. hips on this
side of the river ! ! W hat a mighty popular man !
His popularity has not increased much in the last
twenty years. He run in opposition to the Demo
cratic ticket for the Senate, last fall, ond was beaten
upwards of 1000 votes! and not yet satisfied with
his former defeats, he is out again, in opposition In
the ticket for the Assembly. Tliu , it ia een, thai
Forsythe has been trying to destroy the Democratic
par y cf this county, for the last twenty years, and
yet pretends to be a Democrat. But the Dcmocra
ey will give him, and hi diso'ganising crew about
Northumberland and Milton, such an overwhelm
ing defeat til s full, that they will not try again, very
soon, to divide and break up the party.
ITow is it?
We have two third of the population of ihe
county on this aide of the river ; we give two thiidn
of the Democratic niiijoiilic annuully polled; our
mi'jori'y is annually incrfaxing, while ihe majority
in the Forks it diminishing to almo-t nothing ;
el ihe Democrats in the Foiks want to have all
ihe offices. They have the Senator, the Pro
thnnotary, the Commissioner, and another jut
nominuitd i n the ticket, an auditor, and forsooth,
they muet have the member of Assembly too.
Any thing more gentlemen!
The Ticket.
A number of our whig friends express ihem
elvci very warmly oppose d to the formation of a
ticket in ll.i county. They pntend to be in favor
of the "volunteer syklcm,'' and endeavor to per
uade even dc mocr .t that the ticket eyr.em it en
tirely wrong. This conduct, lossy the least of it,
if very inconfistent. Do they not annuully form
a ticket for the support of their party, in every
cotir.lv in which thiy have a muj uily 1 Have
the whig no-tiiket" in Union county f have they
none in Dauphin county ? To be sure they have.
Now they would bed. fated in both thee counties
if tin y adopted the "volunteer sy stem," but the
whig there cry out, "stick to the licki't," and you
bisr noll.irg from ibem bb-iut the beauties and f.ir
nch of the volunteer system. No, no, they are en.
tiiely too wt. e for that. Lit our whig frit ml then
te honor about the matter. Let them candidly
acknowledge that tf.ey favor the volunteer system
in this county, for the purpose of dividing and de
stroying the Democratic party,
Every Democrat see that this is the ease. We
say then to the Demociacy of Old Nor'hurubcrland,
stand by the timo honored unuagea uf your paity,
and you will, a you always have, triumph over all

"Turn Out, Turn Out, for William Forsythr."
I notice I the above in the Milton Ledger of

in Turbut township (quite a fuilure.) A you
have not heard ihe particulars of the meeting, I
will tend ihem to you for puhlrraiion in your valu

David B. Montgomery, and five olhera belonging
to their party. After a hard triigg!e ihey micceeJed
in appointing a chuirmin, after which they ap
pointed a cotnmiitee to diaft resolutions, which
took but a short time, as Steve bad them in his

Sieve would make all the inoes and David B,
would secoud them ( fine way of gelling at mg.)
From the above you can learn that the people in
Turbut will not be gulled by a parcel of disappoint
ed office hunter ; but that they will stick to the
ticket. In their repott they stated that Fotsythe
would have -100 majority. Their meeting did not
look so, although theie was notice given 10 or 12
