THE NATIONAL FOENOBY
Great excitement prevails, at present, in va
rious portions of the country on the so bp ct of
the location oi the proposed .National Foundry.
Our neighbors of Cumberland, Mil., have rais
ed a perfect furor in their little city, concern
ing the matter, and '.ve notice that a number of
the inland tou ns of this State are making loud
and noisy demonstrations to draw the attention
of "the jKjwers tl;3l be" to the "great advanta
ges"' presented by their respective localities as
sites for the institution. The iide of agitation
on this subject, strange to say, has not vet
reached our own region, and we doubt wheth
er there are six men i:i the whole county that
have given any thought to the fact Hint within
twenty miles of this borouqh there i\ a section
of country combining ait the requisites for an
establishment like the one in question. The
town of Hopewell, and the country lying adja
cent to it.in IheNorth Eastern part oi thiscounty,
we sincerely believe, are more eligible as a site
for a National Foundry than any ol the places
we have yet seen recommended. Iron ore ol
the very best quality is found there i:i abun
dance. The hiiis are scan:. with strata ol
coal, being the well known Broad Top forma
tion, and the valleys are v< ined with streams
capable of furnishing almost am extent of wa
ter-power. The iron ore, we are informed, tias
been tested in the making of ordnance, and bas
inet) found to be excellently adapted for that
purpose. As out readers well know, this region
is accessible by Railroad, and therefore, it car.-
notbesaid to be objectionable on the score of iso
lati >n. As lor health, which is a great desidera
tum in the - Ifcti a of a I reality for such an
institution as a Nate na! Foundry, there i-. per
haps, not another .; ;t in ai! North America
where the climate is mire salubrious, the at
mosphere purer, 'he water fresher than in the
mountain regions of Bedford county.
Why, then, should not II ipewell be the
site ? L- f the agents of Uncle Sam who have
this matter in hand but pay us a visit—let them
examine the place for themselves—let them Lot
study its geology and learn of its wealth in
minerals—and, then, let them make their re
port, without "tear, favor, or affection," ami vv:
are free to say that they will recommend Hope
well as the plate best suited in every respect
for the establishment of a National Foundry.
DEMAGOG IES SEEi'-i MEALED.
It is customary when new .States are aimit
into the Union, for Congress to make fin in
giants of lands, which was done but recently in
the case ol Minnesota. In accordance with
this custom, the English Compromise Act pro
poses to give the State of Kansas, if she will ac
cept Hum, certain lands, salt springs, .Nr., .X.C.
This the Abolitionists denounce us a "bribe"
to the people of Kansas to induce them to ac
cept the Lecompton Constitution. Now, if
this be a "bribe, then every Abolitionist in
Congress voted tor just such a bribe, for the Crit
tenden Bill and the Montgomery Amendment,
t-heir pet measures, both contained Ete same of
fers if land to the people of Kansas tf fare made
by the English Compromise Act. Tile howi
ilig of the Abolitionists concerning this alleged
"bribe"* is another instance of demagogues im
paling themselves. Just like the Abolition or
gan's denunciations of the new Usurv Law. pas
sed bv Abolition votes, tiie curses of the kunsas
shiiekers concerning this matter,- recoil upon
their own heads.
\ Diflfr retire of Opinion.
Bsr""The Abolitionists in Congress, it wilt tie
remembered, voted in a body for Mr. Mokt

letter claim* to h his own bill with, but slight
and unimportant alterations.

Suicide Of "Frank Forester-"'
IIE-VKV WILLIAM HERBERT, the "Frank For
t iter" of our sporting literature, committed sui
cide in Aew York, on Monday, the 17lh inst.,
by shooting himself through (he breast with a
pistol. The rash act, it is inferred from a letter
ot the deceased written shortly before his death,
was committed whilst Mr. H. was laboring un
der a lit of melancholy occasioned by adillicuity
with his wife to whom he bad been married but
a few months. MR. HERBERT was an English
man by but!: and v\ as closely related to Some
ol the lea ling families of tin* British nobility,

18d'.), he never Let arm- a r ..totalized citizen,
lie was the ai.it. r of numerous uoiks on hun
ting, fishing, ii i.-eruausliip, &.c., affPl excelled
as a writer of hisiorrcal tales and novels.—
i his is the second English author thai has c
milted suicide in this country within the last
three years. The other case was that of WILLIAM
MOUTH, a man of brilliant but erratic genius,
aEo of British nativity, who destroyed his lib
bv taking poison, in 1555.
Ihalh cii'Gt a. PtrtsifYr F. Snsil!J.
it is with profound regret that we chronicle
the decease of this brave and distinguished offi
cer. His death took place a lew davs ago at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he had stop
ped when on his way to assume th-' command
ol the 1 tah Army. Gen. Smith was a patriot
oi thr tine stamp and won great honors by bis
military services, especially in the war with
the Florida Indians and in that with Mexico.—
I he whole country mourns his loss.
A PiiOmGlOrS LIE.
The Abo 1 itiop organ of last work says the

for that sheet must imagine the people to be as
great a.-ses as themselves if they expect them
to swallow such a monstrous falsehood as that.
Those who Liie working-nien know to their
hearts' content that they cannot gel them for

Pcsiliuu of Isaac Hazlehursl.
We learn from a neighboring print that this
genti.man, who was last year the candidate of
the stiaight-Americans for Governor, "stands ex
actly where he did last fall."—That is, if words
have any meaning, that he is r, alv again to be
a candidate in opposition to the Union ticket,
and lake the stump in order to defeat it.
To as, and we doubt not the great mass of
'he Republicans, it is a matter of little moment
where he stands. His position only derives im
portance from the fact of his having been the
candidate ot the Straight-Americans last fall,
having polled 23,000 votes in a poll of some
303,000. But if he and his then coadjutors
choose to play the same game again, let them
do so, and see what they will make out of it.—

From the above it will be seen that the Ila
zlidiurst men are held in utter contempt by the
Abolitionisms. This, however, is not at ail
strange, as the men who cut Fillmore's throat
in '36 and who voted for Ida ITISTI- FREE-TEA PF.

FIKIXC INTO AMERICAN VESSELS.— Some of
tne Biiti.-h coiumaudeis in the vicinity of the
Spanish islands in the Gulf-are amusing them
selves with firing into and at American vessels,
on the pretext oi suspecting their, of being sla

kind, the suspicions ot these < iliceis must be ex
cited by every vessel bearing the American (lag.

rence v i*h ur coxa, re** in, warrantable, and
some meatuses ought to v tak. n to put a stop
to it. hit were Spanish vessels of war which
had been guilty oi' the outrage of firing into
American vessels, the whole country would
have been excited by it, and it is quite likely
that before this the Spaniards would have got a
few balls l ack again. The outrage is the same,
whether committed by Spanish or English ves
sels. It is not suiiicier.t that the British gov
ernment disavow such acts. They should teach
their commanders better manners, so that the
wrong will not be repeated. There are rights
which American Seamen are not disposed to
yield, and will not see impaired so long as they
have a government to look to for redress.—

"PKOTECTiOiV OF AMERICAN I.\~
DISTIIV.
Among al! the conn nit-tit political catch
words reli-d upon by the hybrid factions oppo
sed to the Democratic party, to dupe an I de
ceive the honest and unsuspecting to their own
injury, that ol I'rofeeling . Jmeticun L < or is
the most specious as well as the most hollow
land hypocritical. Those who use this can',
phrase so glibly and so frequently, care only
for the laboring classes as (lit* farmer d-.es for
his beasts of burden, as they may happen to he
profitable to tliem as drudges and wealth-pro
ducers. What they- me:in by protection, is pro
tecting a handful of wealthy manufacturing
monopolists, protecting capital at the expense
ol labor; this no sensible person will deny.—
The leaders of that party have not a single
principle in common with the true interests of
American industry, no sympathy whatever
with the Wealth-Clouting, or producing classes,
i his is a fact too notorious to be disputed by
any one.
\* e prophage to test the sincerity of these gen
t ien.en in their professions of h iernlship for the
working classes. L■! us have a rati svsfem of
protection, it we are to have any at all,"and not
a hypocritical sham, a hollow pietence, a mere
rnahe-ij lieve. Ja the first place, let the tariff
be so modified as that ail duties shall be taken
off ol every article of necessity now used bv
the laboring classes, and the duties greatly in
creased upon such articles of luxury as are ex
clusively used by the idle and wealthy classes,
who only labor to collect that which the toilers
have earned. Tlrn h t a direct tax be levied
upon the whole property of the country, (not
upon labor, for labor must be "protected" a
gaiiist a.l the burdens of taxation as well as
by a tariff.) in order to raise an immense fund,
out of which the laborer shall receive his quo
ta every Saturday night —say four or five dol
lars each week for each individual. This would
be tangible "protection," and would amount to
sometbing*besidey boiiovv cant ami unmeaning
professions. Are these advocates of a high tar
iff ready lor n "protective system" of this sort?
Why not ?
Then, if they wish to "protect" the lordly
monopolist, the manufacturing, weallhv aristo
crat, let toem levy a sufficient tax upon the
property of the whole country to pay a direct
bonus to a handful of sugar planters in Louisi
ana, tne iron-masters ol Pennsylvania, and the
manufacturing nabobs of New England. L-t
property be taxed directly (and not labor, as it
is at present,) and you may "protect" the priv
ileged or unprivileged classes to any pn.-sible
extent the wealthy lax-payers are willing to
go. How do the sham pretenders to friendship
for American industry hue our system of "pro
tection? ' Are they piepared to show their
sincerity by putting such a : lan iut j i mediate
practice ? If not— why.'
American industry need.no protection; it
can and it does protect its -if. It is driving the
products of Great Britain out of mirm-i as mar
kets where that arrogant nation has hitherto
had an exclusive monopoly. It is an insult to
An.eiican skill and American enterprise, to sav
that America n industry needs protection, it
only needs to be let alone—it is 'perfectly able
to lake care of itself. At any rate it needs no
"protection" from those who only '■• talk of the

The name of the Governor was Ba.slif6rd,
who was elected by the Black Republicans in
IS.">.> over Bar.st >w who was denounced as ve
ry corrupt, hut who certainly w.n lioiiest and
pure in comparison with Lis successor. He
was paid in l onds. Every member at the As
sembly, Gave four, who voted for the bill , is sta
led in tbe rep at to have received a c ttsiJera
t. in. Such wholesale bribery and corruption
was never disclosed Lcfote in American poli

I petition in the Second District Court against

fleeting-a partition of the property located in
Louisiana. It is ht-ld by the petitioners that
ihe city of Cincinnati, as a foreign corporation,
is incapicitated to take projierty situated in Lou
isiana for any purpose whatever, and that the
bequest is contrary to the laws of the latter. It
appears, moreover, that Cincinnati cannot take
the property situated in Ohio, (which consti
tutes the biilk of the bequest,) for want of con
iteinul a parity. A cause of prolonged liti
