HR. BUCHANAN'S TRIUMPH IN ENGLAND.
The Washington Union of Tuesday,
gives the following extract of a letterfrom
fi distinguished American patriot in Lon
don to his friend in Washington. It will
• be read with interest by all who are inter
ested in tho successful spread of sound re-
views :
Long's Hotei., New Bond Street,
February 24, 185 d.
The simplicity of our institutiqos and
customs at home has bad a proud triumph
• Within the laSt week, at tho pompous court
of this aristocratic metropolis. It will be
recollected that, ut the opening of Parlia
ment, the American Minister was invited
to bo present at the ceremonies of tho oc
casion, but in plain robe. The invitation
was declined, under the duties imposed
upon our representatives by the eminently
judicious instructions issued by Mr. Mnrcy
in June Inst. This subject imrnedintely
engaged the attention of the public mind,
and tho press, nnd on tho 10th inst., Mr.
Roebuck, one of the ablest members of
either branch of Parliament, called tho at
tention of Lord John Russell tp,it in tho
session of the Commons of ilitiCdny, andj
Remanded pn explanation ns to tho cause *
pf the absence of the Minister at the time
referred to, or rather, whether it proceed-*
cd from the character of the information
transmitted to him. The reply of Lord
John was by no means satisfactory. Tho
matter now assumes a high degree of im
portance, becoming a topic of as general
conversation ns the Eastern question.—
With the exception of n tew stipendiaries
of the crown—courtiers who value their
according to tho quantity of gold
embroidery it enables them to put on —
everybody applauded the resolute ptirposo
of Mr. Buchunjn to carry the wishes of
his government into execution. Thousands
of the best-bred men of tho realm, who
hud never been presented to her Majesty
because they would not sink themselves so
jow in their own esteem as to put on the
livery of her servants, rejoiced in the re
form which the United States, in perform
ing their natural character, was calculated i
to effect. The ministry soon became aware j
of tile sentiments of indignntion which had.
arisen and were arising at its absurd pre-j
tension of attempting to prescribe the dress
pf the representative of one of the first
Sowers of the earth ; and, accordingly,
Ir. Buchanan was invited to dine with the
Queen on the 20th, and to attend her levee
on the 22d, with tho omission of tho re
quisition as to tho costume in which he
should appear. On "both these occasions
he was in attendance, apparelled precisely
op he should have been at a President’s
dinner and reception—in a plain suit of
black, the garb of n gentleman, when in
society, in all civilized countries. You]
may be assured that he is a head and shoul
ders taller in general estimation in En
gland thanony foroign representative who
resided near this government. ' He
basset nn example which is eventuully to
cast into perpetual shade the ostentatious
displays attendant upon legal pretension.
Mr. Miguel, of the Academic Francaise,
a few yeurs ago published a work entitled
“ Fte de Franklin a l'mage de tout le. pion
de, which is, ns from its title it was intend
ed to be, in the hands of every French
man w ho reads. As it may have escaped
your eye, now that our country has been
brought back to the times which made its
reputation so enviable abroad, I will quote
from it two or three passages for your pe
rusal :
“When Count do Vergcnnes presented
Dr. Franklin to Louis XVI. in tho palace
of Versailles, he was there the object of a
real ovation, even among the courtiers.—
Ho appeared in that royal audience in nn
extreme simplicity oI dress. His age, his
glory, his services, tho alliance so much 1
desired which he had just concluded, had
attracted an immensecrowd to the splendid
palace erected by Louis XIV. People wore
seized with such a sentiment of respect
and admiration nt tho sight of this vener
able illustrious savant this for
tunate patriot —that they clapped their
hands as he passed by. Tho King wel
comed him with cordial distinction. * * *
Upon his return from [he audience, the
crowd hailed Franklin wjth the same mani
festations, and for a long distance follow
ed in his retinue. The enthusiasm which
bis presence had excited nt Versailles was
soon renewed at Paris.”
What a spectacle! The sovereign of
intellect and the faithful representative of
jtt republican system of government, com
manding tho bo wB and "admiration of the
thousands, whilo the sovereign of power
trended his way through the masses un
heeded. Glorious was that scene for
l- How deplorable that it should
not haverhgen ever vivid in the minds of
those Ho wnomTjnr affairs abroad were in
trusted. But the very reverse of the il
iustrioiisexumple liasbeenobserved. Many
of ouriegations have been notoriously the
more receptacles for the apes of royalty,
and of aristocratic flunkeys , and the nur
sery of anti-American principles. Repub
licanism has been cost off with ns much
facility as the rich gold embroidery of the
/neniaU of potentates was put on. Thero
was nothing of Americanism in them hut
in name. The unnatural attitude they as
sumed in repudiating their country’s salu
tary customs created for them universal
derision. “To all well-born hearts the
love of country is dear;” and tho official
abroad who forgets this axionj mav he met
with a smile by those, but ho may he as
sured that he is never held in esteem,

OUR PRESIDENT,
Among tlio many evidences of (rue pnt.
Holism, which have characterized- (he ad
ministration of Franklin Fierce, there is no
act of his induction into office, which more
fully portrays tho putriot and statesman,
than does his bold and prompt action in
reference to the Caban outrage committed
upon an American vessel —the “Black
Warrior.”
The government of her Majesty, the
Queen of Spain, has heretofore listened
with evident indifference, to the complaints
made concerning tho uggressions of the
Cuban authorities, “upon our commerce,
and violations of the rights of Americnn
citizens, and insults to the National Flag,’
Now that the President, with commenda
ble promptness, has called the special at
tention of Congress to the last outrago, we
sincerely trust that that brunch of the gov-j
ernment will respond to the suggestions of,
the Presiden', in a manner commensurate
with their duty as the representatives of
American freemen, and ns tho exigency!
demands.
Let this be done, and our word for it
there will be no more Cuban infringe
ments of tho rights of American citizens,
at least so long as Franklin Pierce pre
sides over our destinies. Should Spain
, not make immediate reparation for tho
j wrougs sho done us—should she hesitate
to give full indemnity for her past nggres
isions, and satisfactory security, that sho
'will not again violate the luws of nations
or any of 'ho pacific relations existing be
tween liie two governments, then, we say,
let the “Queen of tho Antilles” be the for
feit for her nrrogance—her repealed in
sults, and the grievous wrongs sho has
done our people. But let Congress remain
inactive or adopt contrary policy—let that
body rofuso to second the manly course
indicated by tho President, and who can
tell what insults may not bo offered to our
Flag, hereafter, by Spain, or somo other
arrogant power.
| When Gen. Pierce nssumedjthe respon
sibilities of the Presidential office, he bold
jly announced to the world that ho would
keep constantly in view the honor of the
American flag, and vindicate tho rights of
American citizens. The people of tho
country confided in him, and he has thus
far nobly fulfilled his promises. lie has
j taught crowned heads the wny in which
Americans render the sentence —“Thus
jfar shall thou go, and no further.” Whilo
his high sense of honor will always prompt j
President Pierce to requiro strict obser
vance of all treaty stipulations on the parti
of our own citizens, the same impulse will i
prompt him to resept, at once, in a proper!
manner, tho least infraction of these inter
national leagues on the part of others.— |
Who, then, wensk, with confidence, i; not I
proud of tho manly bearing of our Presi
dent? There is not a patriotic heart in our
broud land that does not give an affirmative
response to his wholesome, chivalric, and j
republican policy.— liar. Patriot. I

THE WHIG CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
James Pollock, tho whig candidate for
Governor, was born in tho town of Milton,
Pa., where he still resides. Mis father was
a country merchant, and, as his biographer
writes, ‘acquired a handsome estate,’ which
tho fumily havo not only “retained,” but
have added thereto. James Ihe present
candidate of the whig party, studied law,
which he has practised ever since, with tho
exception of four years spent in Congress,
and a brief period on tho Bench by ap-j
pointment of Gov. Johnston. He is a gen-'
tleman of respectable talents, and of excel- j
lent moral character, and as such we de- j
sire to respect him.
! But as a politician, wo nre quite sure,
that, if there is any thing objectionable in
the principles of tho whig party —if one
whig cun more effectually apply ihoso prin
ciples in the administration of tho govern
ment than another, and if tho people of the
Stato desiro a repetition of tho disasters
that always havo accompanied whig rulo
in the Slate, then havo they selected tho
! proper man. Pollock isa whigof thostrong.
est faith, as ho most clearly demonstrated
1 in Congress when he voted for a disgrace
ful retreat of tho American army in Mexi
co. 'Phis disgraceful effort of the whig
I party in Congress to baffle tho then Dem
ocratic administration of President Polk
'should never be forgotten by the American
people—and it never will be—for it was a
bold declaration, made in tho most solemn
manner, that patriotism and national hon
or, had no abiding place in the breasts of,
the men who there voted, and Jas Pollock
the present whig candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania was one of them. _
But Mr. Pollock is, if possible, more
than icing, in another respect. He wasj
one of the most violent opponents of»lhoj
present tariff, and fought it inch by inch :
whilo in Congress. Nothing buta/>ro-1
tcctive tariff would answer the country.— j
The present revenue system would bring l
nothing but ruin to tho industrial interests 1
and disgrace and bankruptcy upon the j
country; and he even went so fur as to
pledge his word mid honor that if the torifT
of 18-10 yielded over “thirteen millions;
of revenue per year, he would cense to bo
n whig and join the Democratic party.”—
The law wasndopted, not however, for the
purpose of making a Democrat out of Mr.
Pollock—for whig pledges wero not worth
even as much then as they nre now—but
it was adopted becauso it equalized, in
some measure, tho tax upon foreign imports
making the poor man only pay in propor
tion to his rich neighbor, and instead ofj
proving a fuilure as n revenue measure, ns
Mr. Pollock predicted, its first year yield
ed somo forty millions of dollars, and it has \
gradually incrcuscd until it hus now reach
ed sixty millions. Vet Mr. Pollock hasj
forgotton his promise, and is still a whig.
MORE HELP.
We have been shown a copy of the pros
puctusCbf a new paper proposed to be pub
lished in this place, with tho title of “The
Clearfield Raftman," and if it did not say
in plain words, that it “will support the
principles and mensures of the whig party,"
wo would huve thought tlwt it wus to assist
us in the support of Gov. Bici.er for re
election, ns it assumes the name by which
I that distinguished gentleman was exten
sively known in tho last gubernatorial con
test. Tho whigs have always essayed to
win the favor ol the people by changing
their name and even assuming that of the
Democratic party. This can be endurSl,
us it is about the only means by which they
can keep up an nppearanco of vitality in
their party. But to steal tho names of our
candidates is going a little too far. Wo,
in this region, however, can even endure
that, und cheerfully forgivo the transgress
