A jinnee at the proceedings of the No

published in today’s paper, will fully
Ataolose to our readers the secret of the
■OOcess of the Native party.
It will be seen tjfpxr'fym, Dugan, that

the citizens or that region. And last,
though npt jeast of the champjona who ap

appears by the proceedings, delivered a
addressand so far ns Bradford
township js copcerped, judging frorp the
yeport of thoso ip attendance at ihp late
. meeting, Nativism is destiped to flourish
1 beyond a paralel in the bistory of apy
■jiahy.
. And how is this to be accounted for, un«
IfM attributed to these distinguished ora
tors from town, who have laid down the
plane anf) the sewing awl, and gone forth
toenlighten (hair Ipllow men ; to convince
them that the foe is now before them; and I
to send forth their heart stiffing appeals
ty o heretofore careless and qpgjigent,
to ifid qpe them if possible, to rise jp tfjpir
Eight, and pssert and defend their right?
fore if is forever too late.
We have heretofore felt disposed to cep

jhjppd and misled by desjgningderangogues,
dtid have felt soipewjiat aggravated that
■tmen of good sense—apd jve believe, a few

pdge and praptical of pot less

jneasure, to pardon (hose who have
t 0 oalwt under tha
American Banner, and endeavor to devise
some means to keep these orators at home.
Cannot sornooftho knowing ones of our
town adopt some stratagem by which they
may be prevented from traversing tho
county ? /s not the impending danger to
tho Democratic party apparent to ail?
But how is 1 ffils ? JVhilo penning this or
tice, o citizen 1/omJßradford township, one
whoso veracity cannot bo disputed, makes
his appearance in our office, and informs
us that the success of the delegation from
Clearfield who have been endeavoring to
Native-Americanize the county, J)ua not
been so grodt ns , they .would by the
proceedings of! their meetings endeavor to
moke tho public bolioyo.
Our informant states that Caleb Wrig.
ley—properly ,Vy, K. Wrigley—and Hen

bers of the committee on resolutions, both
objected Jo having their names m a do use
of on that occasion—neither did they have
anything to do with drawing up or adapt

This is an important piec.e of ipforma.
lion, which we are happy to bo able to lay
before tho publio. It discloses on tho part
those mighty men of djo r.aiipn, a disposi

order to accomplish their object. It |s_for

NATIVE MEETING.
Bradford tp., January 7, 1854.
Pursuant to previous notice a largo and
respectable number of the citizens of Brad
ford township, met at the Sliirey School

HQRATIO HALL, Pres’f.

We are authorised to stale that the

neither did they take any part in'the

Washington, Jan. 21,1854.
The past week has developed incidents
of stirring interest to the nation ; and first
in magnitude is that of the treaty just con*
eluded between the JJ. Stutesand Mexico,
by which Uncle Sam not o,nly get? a yerv
I large farm added to Jhis present rather ex
pensive dominion, but also gets of /sev
eral very, troublesome questions, such as
responsibility for.lqdjan depredations upon
Mexican territory, which he (Uncle Sam)
guaranteed to prevent, but could not; the
dispulo about Mesilla Valley, and various
fillibustering expeditions, which might oth
erwise have brought trouble to some of his
household. It is true, Uncle Sam pays a
right smnrt sum of money for tKis'farm—
twenty millions of dollars. But then, that
is easily done, for ho has plenty jof it, and
no other legitimate way of spending jt.—
Besides, about one-fourth of it he was
Obliged to puy at any rale, so t/iaf the ac
tual expense of this farm may be stated at
fifteen millions, besides the expense of fix*
ing up the writings, making title, &c. But
then again ft is said that a large part of
thjs farm belonged to Uncle Sam by right
pf the Jast previous treaty mhdo with Mex
ico, and that be is thus buying and paying
a sound price for his own property. If
this bo true, it is bad enough, but jt can’t
bo helped now. Jt must be charged tp the
gpmethipg worse of his
agents, and by thus paying pretty sharply
to get out of one scrape, it may servo to
tench him the best means of keeping out of
others, 'J’he bargain, however is qo doubt
a good one on jJnelo Sarp’s side 1 ; for, be
sides this large farm coptaipipg 39,000,.
000 acres, and settling many dangerous
questions of dispute, he gets his boundary
lines in a better shape and secures thei
very best ground upon which to build his
great rnilroad to the Pacific on thoshortest
route and in a climate where tho frosts of
winter will pevoripterrupt the business.
Next in importance to our country, is
the development of tho almost certain
fact that it is the inteptioo of the Spanish
government to adopt tho African appren*
lice system in the jslapd of Cuba, and re
enact in that Island the scenes that once
dyed in blood tho fair fields of Jamaica
nnd St. Domingo. ■lt will bo remembered
that tho Washington Union gave timely
notice of its suspicions of this scheme last
summer, and that its alarms were mocked
and treated wiih derision by th 6 National
Intelligencer of this city, npd other kin
dred spirits in the U. 3., and the British
press and British statesmen copiously quo
ted from to prove that the Union's appre
hensions vyere groundless. The first
movement of the new Captain General of
Cuba, Pejjucln, tho language of tho govern
ment press of Cuba, tho letters from Cu
ban planters, nnd the landing of thousands
of African apprentices, however, givo un
mistakable evidence that tho Union was
correct. Some, without proper reflection,
may say, this is no business of ours, and
that wo havo no business to interfere.
But this is wrong. It is our husiness, and
the whole energies of our government, if
necessary, must be called in requision to
prevent it. If it was a liberation of the
slaves of Cuba, it would not he our busi.
ness. But it is the importation of a vast
number of wild Africans, as apprentices,
against the will of the people and planters
of Cuba, in order to convert rhat fair part
of the carih into on African colony, and
' thus prevent its annexation to the United
States. Our government is therefore just
as much bound to prevent such a calamity
to Cuba nnd Cubans, nanny citizen would]
have to prevent his neighbor from apply,
ing the torch to his own house, involving,
the destruction of the property of both—i
and our government will prevent it, and 1
in doing so there will be none to oppose it
except the British-hearted abolitionists.
In connexion with this subject, the con
duct of uur minister at the court ofMadrid,
Mr. Soule, and his son, gives increased in
terest to Spanish affuirs. Tho manner in
which they taught the Spanish aristocracy
what it cost to insult our plain republican
ism, is the subject of general comment and
universal approbation—which, however,
quieily changed to deep sorrow by thfl ru.
mor, per last steamer, of the death of the
elder boule in a second renconter wiih
tho French Ambassador. But this rumor
needs confirmation.
Tho proceedings of Congress for tho
last week does not possess much general
interest. Resolutions of thanks, nnd pro
viding for suitably rewarding tho comman
ders of the vessels that assisted in saving
the passengers of the ill-fated San Fran
cisco were passed. The discussion of the
President’s message and New York politics,
is kept up in tho House with spirit, and
some excellent speeches made; but it is to
bp very much doubted whether, after all,
tho country will bo able to tell the differ
ence between a |Wor a ?ofl, unless the
term is applied to boiled eggs. Mr. Wade,
of Ohio, made a very unkind attack on
Pennsylvania the other day in the Senate,
alluding to the rajlroad disturbances
ot Erie. Mr. Cooper replied, i/ut pot in
the spirit which tho offence merited The
time was when such attacks upon the hon
or of the old Keystone would not go unre
pellea in that body. Her dignity was bet
ter defended in the House, where Mr.
Grow, of tho Bradford district, gave them
to understand this was a question with two
sides to it, arid that Pennsylvania was
able and determined to manage her own
affairs.
The proclamation of the President,
tnroatinmg tho rigid enforcement of the
neutrality laws of the U. S. against the
participators in the filUbustering expedi.
lions into tho territories of other govern
ments, is. universally approved, and from
which wo may conclude that the informa
tion of the Walker expedition into Lower
California ns published in the papers, is
mainly correct,

The wenlner has been very severe, and
a deep snow fell, which caused a stoppage
of the mails throughout Great Britain,
Franco and Belgium. It is feared that
destructive floods will ensue on the molt
ing of tho spow. It was the heaviest
snow storm that has occurred (or many
years. u,
f Turkish nffuijrs ore becoming more and
complicated, and a general Europe
an war is considered almost inevitable.
\England.—The weather has become
ydry severe in England and in the north
of Europe. The railroads were blocked
by snow for two days. In Belgium it was
several feet thick on the railways. There
was also thick ico at Madrid, and the Bui
tic, at the lost uccounts, was packed with
floating ice.
During tho detention of the mails by
the snow, the Liverpool merchants on
change, for lack of business, had recourse
to a snow ■'ball fight—iho cotton brokers
versus the stock brokers—which ended in
the unwarrentoblo interference of tho po
lice, and quite a row ensued.
There is much indignation against Prince
Albert, particularly in the independent pa
pers, and the public voice protests that he
is a tool of Russia, and that Lord Aber
deen is under his influence. The Prince,
it is stated, betrays all the Cabinet secrets
to Russia, Austria and Germany. The
matter it was expected would como before
Parliament.
The financial statement for the quarter
ending Jan. 6th, shows a large increase
in the revenue.

i The Eastjcbn Question.—Tho Paris
Monileur contains a circular from the Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, dated December
30th, addressed to all tho French Legn
tipns, on tho Eastern question. The doc
ument is moderate, but very firm. It nar
rates the phases of the question—declares
that France, England, Austria and Prus
sia have solemnly recognized the territo
{ rial integrity of tho Ottoman Empire, and
further states that the affuir at Sincope
took place against all the treaty provisions,
Russia having declared that she only de
sired a material guarantee. Therefore, to
provent the Ottoman territory and flag
from now attacks from the navy of Rus
sia, the Frenoh aud English fleets are or.
dored to enter the Black sea. The circu-
Inr terminates by expressing a hope that
Russia will not expose Europe to new
convulsions.
Th ° F ' onch papers state authentically
that the French Government is dissatisfied
with the evasive conduct of Austria, and
has addressed a strong remonstrance, in
timaling that a further cecession from the
proceedings of the other powers will be
takon as meditated hostilities on the part
of Austria, the result of which she must
be prepared to abide; and that Franco
will extend aid to Hungary, Italy, &c.
The Paris papers report that tho Czar
has given orders for the immediate prepa
ration for crossing tho Danube, which for
bids the hope of his acceptance of the last
note agreed to by the western powers.
The latest advices from Constantinople
express but little hope that the negotiations
will lead to any satisfactory result.
