His Excellency, President BUCHANAN, ac companied by Miss LANF, Mrs. Secretary THOMPSON, and Mr. THOMPSON, arrived at Bedford Springs, oil Tuesday evening last.— J The President looks well, and is in good health and spirits. The "best abused" man of the age, j "dull care" has failed to sethis mark upon his countenance. He is above the reach of the poisoned shafts of envy and malice, and having no other object at heart but the good of his uho/e country, he cannot be assailed, though enpmies be unscrupulous and pretended friends unfaithful.' An escort from Bedford met him at; the "Half-Way House," where be was received by a large crowd of the sturdy citizens of Cumberland Valley. The President's rooms are the same as those occupied last year by himself and suite. •CT*FR. JORDAN, in his last organ, attempts j to reply to our article of week before last, in i which we proved that the JY. Y. Tribune spoke ! ol the poorer classes of our citizens as "Poor i White Trash," and in the course of his argu-i uient (?) quotes a passage from the Tribune 1 s j article, which in jtself enG.~ ' ' i "1 what we have said upon the subject. The i passage quoted by MR. JORDAN is as follows A considerable part of the white population ; were petit blancs , so called, little whites, the •POOR WHITE TRASH' of our southern States, without education or property." This language Mr. Jordan acknowledges was used by the Tribune and therefore ac knowledges that the Tribune spoke of American j citizens as "Poor White Trash." But with characteristic dishonesty, he breaks off this j passage at a comma , instead of giving the whole paragraph, as he found it in the Tribune.— "Judgesand lawyers" might call this "forgery,' as it is certainly a fraudulent alteration of the Tribune's article and intended to operate to our injury. MR. JORDAN blames us for dropping the quotation marks in copying from the Tri bune ; but how much more is not he to be blamed when he deliberately blots out one half of the Tribune's sentence ? Jlpropos of the "quotation marks," if they really did occur in the Tribune''s article ( of which we have some doubt) they were dropped unintentionally, but they shall henceforward be used, thus: "Poor White Trash." However, we opine it makes but little difference whether we use them, or not, as the Tribune adopted the language and is responsible for it. The paragraph from the Tribune's article, when taken as a whole, reads as follows : "A considerable part of fhe white population were petit blancs, so called, little whites, the same with the 'Poor White Trash' of our Southern States without education or propeity, but exceedingly tenacious, like our l Poor White Trash' JVorih and South, of a distinction which enabled them to take rank of the mo3t accomplished and wealthy men of color. " Will Mr. Jordan dare to deny that this is correctly quoted ? If so, ice dare him to pub lish the entire ailicle of the Tribune in which it OCCUIB. Nothing short of this, will satisfy the public that his case is not a bad one. following is the inscription of a let ter lately received at the Post Office u this place "Go tike a bird which always sines, To Bediord. near the 'Bedford Springs', And if Jobs FEiGtiT should chance to be In Bedford, or vicinity, Let MR. Mown? quickly say, Th's letter oarre fo hin tc dav " "HONESTY THE BEST POLICY." About one month ago there appeared on the | | outside of our paper, a little "<"qtiib" ot twO ( j lines, which read as follows "Honesty is thej i best policy, but it keeps a man poor." This; | sententious little paragraph was selected by fone of our compositors, who in our temporary i absence, was at a loss for "copy'* to "fill out'' a column which he was making up. Ac-' cordingly the sentence above quoted was placed at the foot of the column, not by our direction. f but without our knovuedge. To this every hand iu our office is ready to make affidavit.— Our attention was first called to it, by a friend who informed us that it had been made the sub ject ot a jiscouise from the pulpit. As might be expected, we were rallied a good deal con cerning the matter, our friends and acquain tance considering it "a good joke on us." So far, so good. But unfortunately, (or rather fortunately) for ourselves, in our issue of week before last, we published the proot which estab lishes the truth of our charge that the JV. ¥. Tribune spoke ofthe lower classes of American citizens as "POOR WHTTE TRASH." Our ' signal success in this particular so completely ; durub-lounded Pa. JORDAN and his retinue ot | organ-grinders, that they were compelled to fall j back and attack us at a new point. So after vain ! ly searching out editorial columns, and finding nothing of our own authorship that was assaila ble, they w ere at last forced to go to the first page of our paper, which (as is usual with country newspapers) is generally made up alto gether of articles copied from exchanges.— Our readers can imagine how eagerly they clutched at the little sentence, at the bottom of the column. "Honesty is the w best policy,"but it keeps a man poor." Like drowning men, they caught at this unsubstantial straw. And "there by hangs a tale"—an incident which will serve to show (he discerning reader that these godly j men believed it not altogether impossible that ! they themselves might have published the para graph. One of them (a little red pimple on the body editorial) was in church at the time I the discourse concerning the aforesaid para graph was delivered, and the thought that the offensive sentence might have been in his pa per, excited him so a much that in defiance ot common decency, he talked about it to those near him, whilst the sermon was progressing, < and even whilst the Congregation were upon j their knees in prayer! For lull particulars concerning the pious conduct of this model religionist, on the occasion just alluded to, we refer our readers to JOHN H. FILLER, ESQ. — Notwithstanding this acknowledgment that they themselves might have published the para-; graph in question—notwithstanding the fact I that they knew that we. were not the author of the expression —notwithstanding the fact that they were well aware ot the manner in which it had crept into our columns—these shame less tricksters do not hesitate to denounce and abuse us for publishing it. We have never heard "judges or lawyers" give their opinions concerning a matter like..-iiAiw 1 n'earora 'say that this last attempt of Jordan and his coadju ; tors to make capital against the Gazette, was a piece oi mean and cowardly rascality. \ In conclusion, we make a few extracts from j Jordan's organ which we beg leave to put in a3 "set-off." Observe the encouragement they | give to the poor. Observe the inducements j • they hold out to the sons of poverty to be hon est for the sake of being respectable.

Fellow-Citizens : —ln a speech recently de livered in Jayne's Hall, in the city of Philadel phia, and on other occasions, in different parts of the State, I promised to publish, with the proof of its genuineness, a certain list of subsidi zed papers which was furnished by Governor FORD, of Ohio, to a correspondent of the New York Herald. I now redeem that pledge, and present herewith, to the people of Pennsylva nia, Gov. FORD'S list of expenditures, with the affidavit of Dr. W. W.

Fry and Gibbons, in Philadel phia, were the leading managers, and lost the battle by their blunders. Gov.

[From "The Constitution," of July It.] THE NATURALIZATION QUESTION. So much misapprehension prevails in refer ence to the views of tfie Administration on this question, that we embrace the opportunity j furnished by a practical case, which has e- ! cently arisen in the kingdom of Hanover, to | refer to it again. The case is that of a naturalized citizen of the United States, who is a native of Hanover, j and who, when he left his native country, was neither in actual service in the Hanover ian armv nor had he been drafted to serve in it, j but who has yet, upon his return to Hanover, been deprived of his liberty and compelled to do j military duty. The intervention of our Government having j thus become necessary, the whole subject of the j rights of our naturalized citizens lias received 1 the renewed and careful consideration of the j President, and his views, as well as those ol ' his entire Cabinet, upon this important subject, will be found in the following extract which i we are permitted to make from a despatch j transmitted a few days ago from the Depart- ! merit of Slate to our Minister at Berlin in rela- j lion to the case referred to. It is impossible to add anything to the i strength and clearness of this statement; ami we are persuaded that it will meet the full concurrence of every reflecting man in the' country : Extract of a Despatch f rom the Department oj State, to the oj the United States at Berlin, dated July 8, 1859. The right of expatriation cannot at this day be doubted or denied in the United States.— ! The idea has been repudiated ever since the origin of our Government, that a man is bound to remain forevpr in the country o? his birth, ! and that he has no right to exercise his free will, and consult his own happiness by selecting J a new home. The most eminent writers on j public law recognize the right of expat This can only be contested by those who in the , nineteenth century are stifl devoted to the ancient feudal law with all its oppression.— The doctrine of perpetual allegiance is a relic of barbarism which has been gradually disap pearing from — J " The Constitution of the United States recog nizes the natural right of expatriation, by con ferring upon Congress the power "to establish j a uniform rule of natuiahzation. ' Indeed, it was one of the grievances alleged against the British King in the Declaration of Indepen dence, that he had "endeavored to prevent (be population of these States—for that purpoar obstructing the laws of naturalization of foi-' eigners, refusing to pass others to encourag* their migration hither," Stc., &c. The Con stitution thus clearly recognizes the principb j of expatriation in the strongest manner, i j would have been inconsistent in itself and un worthy of the character of the authors ol I Ira instrument, to hold out inducements tc foe eigners to abandon their native laud, to re i nounce their allegiance to their native govern, ment and to become citizens ol the Uriitel States, it they had not been convinced of the , absolute and unconditional right of expatriation. Congress has uniformly acted upon tiis principle ever since the commencement of tie Federal Government. They established '% uniform rule of naturalization," nearly seven ty years ago. There has since been no perioi in our history when laws for this purpose did not exist, though their provisions have under gone successive changes. The alien, in ordei to become a citizen, must declare on oath oi affirmation that he will support the Constituii tion of the United States; and, at the same time, he i? required to absolutely and entirely iel nounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity tq every foreign prince, potentate, State or sove reignty whatever, and particularly, by name, the prince, potentate, State or sovereignty! whereof he was before a citizen. The exercise of the right of naturalization, and the consequent recognition of the principle! of expatriation, are not confined to the Govern-! ment of the United States. There is not "a country in Europe, I believe, at the present moment, where the law does not authorize the naturalization ol foreigners in one form or other. Indeed, in some of these countries this law is more liberal than our own towards foreigners. The question then arises, what rights do our laws confer upon a foreigner by granting him naturalization ? I answer, all the rights, privi leges and immunities which belong to a na tive-born citizen, in their full extent, with the single qualification that, under the Constitu tion, "no person except a native-born citizen is eligible to the office of Prtsiden'." With this exception, the naturalized citizen from and after the date of his naturalization, both at j borne and abroad, is placed upon the very same footing with the native citizen. He is neither jn a better nor a worse condition. If a native citizen chooses to take up his residence in a foreign country for the purpose of advancing, his fortune or promoting his happiness, he is, whilst there bound to obey its municipal lavs equally with those who have lived in it all their lives. He goes abroad with his eves opes; and if these laws be arbitrary and unjust, bt has chosen to abide by the consequences— If they are administered in an equal Ffinf towards himself and towards native subjefs, this Government has no right to inlerlereiu thoritatively in his behalf. To do this woo! be to violate the right of an independent Natia to legislate within its own Territories. Ifhia Government were to undertake such a task,! We might soon be involved in trouble with nearly the whole world. To protect our ciii zens against the application of this principle of | universal law, in its full exient, we have trea- : , lies with several Nations securing exemption to American citizens when residing abroad, from ; I some of the onerous duties required from their j own subjects. Where no such treaty exists l !■ anJ an American citizen has committed a [ crfme or incurred a penalty for violating any j rti'unicipal law whatever of the country of his! temporary residence, fie is just as liable to be Uried and punished lor his offence, as though he had resided in it from the day of his birth. If , this has not been done before his departure, and , he should voluntarily return under the same jurisdiction, he may be tried and punished lor j the offence upon principles of universal law.— ! Under such circumstances, no person would j think of contending that an intermediate resi- i dence in his own coun'ry for years would de- i prive the Government whose laws he had viola- j ted of the power to enforce their execution.— | The very same principle, and no other, is ap- : plicable to the case of a naturaliz-d citizen, i should he choose to return to his native coun try. In that case, if he had committed an ol- \ fence against the Jaw before his departure, he | is responsible for it in the same manner as the , native-American citizen to whom i have refer- j red. In the language of the late Mr. Marcy, in his letter of the 10th January, 185f, to Mr. Jackson, then our charge d'affaires to Vienna, ■ when speaking of Tousig's case, "every nation, : whenever its laws are violated by any one I owing obedience to them, whether he be a j citizen or a stranger, has a right to inflict the ; penalties ncurred upon the transgressors, if j found within its jurisdiction." This principle is too well established to admit of serious con- ; troversy. If one of our native or naturalized citizens were to expose himself to punishment by the commission of an offence against any of our laws, state or national, and afterwards I become a naturalized subject of a foreign coun j try, he would not have ttie hardihood to con i tend, upon voluntarily returning within our | jurisdiction, that his naturalization relieved | him from the punishment due to his crime: i | much less could he appeal to the government ol his adopted country to protect him against his ; responsibility to the United Stales or any of the ; ; States. This Government would not for a ma j ment listen to such an appeal. Whilst these principles cannot be contested, ; ! great care should be taken in their application, 1 | especially to our Ttie j moment a foreigner becomes iW#ralizua via Dresden.

Thrilling Incident— Buried in a Coal Shaft. Mr. Samuel Allen lurnished us yesterdar with the particulars of an accident at Wesley City, I'hursday, by which a man was buried alive in a coal shaft eighty-lour feet in depth. The shaft had been sunk on the land of James W Intaker, foi the purpose of finding coal. I The workmen, after going through ten feet of clay, penetrated through seventy-four feet of quick sand, that required a strong curbing m order to work it. Not finding coal at the deqth, the job was given up, but an attempt was made to remove and save the curbing. Scarcely !ud j the man who was engaged in doing it, taken away the first plank, before the entire curbing for fifty feet above him broke loose, and buried i him beneath it. The alarm was immediately given, and an excited crowd rushed to the >pt. Ou listening, blows on the timbers could be heard from below, showing (he buried man to bp alive, and the work of digging him out was :at once cotnme.iced. The shalt was three and a half fert in diameter, and was entirely blocked up with sand timbers for fifteen feet, and lor the balance of the way the curbing was i:. ; shattered and dangerous condition. Our informant arrived on the ground at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and found Iho knocking from below had ceased, and tears were entertained that the man was dead.— I After a lapse of two or three hours the knock ing was resumed, and the work of digging him iout was recommenced. Mr. Wm. Smith, a waiting for the repair of the curbing courageously descended to the top of the ru b_' h ,hat Rocked up the shaft, and Jyin- down succeeded ,n communicating with him i ' answers to inquiries, the buried man .'aid' thai his- f.l\ pinioning his shoulders, that if at TT al , l,ber, r- ad ">hohad ,l„ Moi' asa; " " mn Smith "in 1 d "7 h ° nS ' 3Rtl a!,owin g none but eon fit beseems to have had perfect Vi ;'i' C ' !
