Oj*TJio Post office Clerk at Washington, who has
recently been detected in robbing the mails, is a Fed
eral Whig, appointed by a Democratic Post Mastor,
to the ; exclusion of competent nnd honest members
ofour own party. This is rather a singular way of
“backing one's friends,” it musl.be confessed.
What renders this appointment tlio. morc cxccp.
lionable, is the fact of his having conic into posses
sion of a handsome fortune,by way of a rich legacy.
Hundreds of poor Democrats would have gladly re
ceived the Appointment thus bestowed upon-an un
worthy Federal opponent, by a Democratic Post
Master. When. will thosc in power.and place, learn

for his friends, docs not deserve to' have friends I
Considcring.how much ibis country has suffered
from misrule for the lost fiAy.ycars, under the vari

Texan Potatoes.— Texas bids fair to bo a fine
polatoo country. Both lire soil and climate seem to
bo well adapted to the cultivation of this valuable
root. Tho Galveston Nows says that a small piucc
oflandon Yosltr Creek, has yielded for several years
un average of about 51)0 bushel of Irish potatoes to
the aero. This is probably-'mure than an. average
crop in Texas. The price at which they tiro now

A correspondent of tho North American, writing
from Easton, has hoaxed tli’o six Editors oftliatTOßr
establishment to belierothqt one “Dr. Jamks Brady,
wlip occupied a.consplcuous.placc in tho Democratic
ranks of Northampton, has. gone over to tho support
of James /rein,” tlio father of the Bankrupt Law 1—
and all the Federal papers of the Stale have copied
tho paragraph containing this statement with a groat*
degree of exultation. Tho result’ of this jgrcattfw
cowry has caused one general inquiry—" Who is Dr.
James Brady?" to wlufch tho Easton Argus’.replies
as follows:
u We have made enquiry among our. people, and
,wc have asked the editor of the Whig, but the Doc
tor still remains wrapped in a veil of.rnystcry* No
such person is to be found—no such person is known*
Had’nt the Whigs heller appoint.* committee ofin
vcsligation .todiscovor, his iiom.c—his birth, paren
tage and history 7 ’Tis a pity tho world shbnld lose
his valuable services, his experience in the art of
physic,and tho extensive knowledge ho must possess
of (he “corruptions of locofocoism.” Do try and
find him— the Doctor certainly must bo a genius;
the celebrated Doctor Green would bo entirely thrown
into the shade by his appearance.
Wcwondcr who can tell how many such access*
ions to the Whig from tho Democratic ranks, in
conjunction with the almost irresistible influence
created by conlrihutionslo “ Meeting Houses,” filly
barrels of flour for' famishing. Ireland, and the story
about the Chinese youth, it will require to. place Gen.
Irvin’s election oh the list of certainties.
GOVERNOR DIUNK.
The “ Pollstown Ledger,” an ably conducted
neutral paper,published in Montgomery county,Urns
notices the slander of the Pittsburg American in re.
hitiun the Gov. Shank “visiting nothing but tho
doggeries” of that city,
“It is a weak, moan nnd miserable concocted
slander against Governor Shunk. IL qccusob him.of
visiting nothing hut tho groggcr.ica in that city, while
on. his western • lour. This is intended'to operate,
against him among temperance, inen, ahd'is in our
estimation one of the most contemptible efforts to
injure his. character, of any that have been* circula
ted by'his enemies. In this neighborhood whore
Air. Shunk was born, reared and been since a fre
quent visitor—heiro where lip is known, Dio people
have good reason to view with disgust such false
aspersions, they should liavc’no other effect thnn lo
win for him many more friends among tho tempe
rate, the.virtuous and the good.”
Iturm AT BEDFORD.
The Bedford Spring*, ns wo learn from the Bedford
(Pa) Gazelle, arc thronged with visiters. The bouses
are piled from the garrets to tho cellars—and every
man seems to have his pockets filled with Benton

at the Springs, (ban it has over been at any former
period. Wo asked an old Federal, gentleman- from
Philadelphia,'bow be accounted for lids?—to which
bo replied, that tho grcnt.abundancc of money in tho

It is a popular error, says the Lancaster InteKi.
gcnccr, to suppose that the. Federalists, when they
make promises, have any. idea of fulfilling them.
It is a popular error (o suppose that they will ever
legislate, if in power, to promote the interests of tho
poor man % when their legislators and chief men ore
always chosen from among that class \yhoso Interest
it is to benefit themselves—that is, the lordly Manu
facturer and Iron-master.
It is a popular error to suppose that Gen. Irvin
even thought of the laborer and poor workingman,
for whom the federalists toy ho Ims such groat love,
when ho voted for the famous BANKRUPT XiAW I
It is a popular error to suppose that Utter to bo a
forgery, because a. certain editor with a most clastic
conscience, said it was not genuine.
It Is a popular error to suppose that tho federalists
remain silent about our worthy candidate, fur Cover
nor, honett Frank Shurik, from a spirit of forbearance.
It is because his character is so piiro that tho shahs

Bui greater than these, limn all, i s the error to

From our Western Texas papers wo Jcani that o
largo body of ibis formidable tribe ore contemplating
a descent. upon some of tho northern settlements of
New Mexico. The Austin Democrat soys that they
held u great war dance nt the San Baba Springs,
about the 7lh ull. It is reported that,several bun*
dad warriors have.assembled,there to engage hi a
foray upon the Mexican settlements of the Rio Gran
de. The Houston Telegraph, alluding to this design
oflljo Catnanchcs, sayst
We regret to learn that no effect has been made,
or will bo made by the officers on iho frontier, to
prevent iho formidable band of Camanebes that has
congregated on the San Saba, from carrying on the
expedition against the Mexican settlements, It ap
pears from a)) the accounts that have been received
from that quarter, that this expedition will bo the
most formidable that this tribe Ims filled out for many
years; and there is reason to behove that the Ca.,
m cinches ore acting in concert with Iho Apaches
Mcscfllorcs, on the Rio Puerco, snd intend to make
a combined attack either upon tho settlements 0fJ..1
Puso, or. thoio below tho Preside, on llio route to
Parroe. Our own frontier settlors and the rangers
are indifferent upon this subject, provided Che storm
of wor is averted front out borders; but, as we novo
before remarked, the general government is bound
by every, principle of Immunity, honor and justice* to
protect those imopfo that it Ims rendered defenceless.
Its agents hero, if it has any, should spare no effort
to prevent this formidable bund of savages from den.
