THE GAZETTE.
The Whig Press,
Wc copy the following excellent re
marks from the Philadelphia Duihj News,
on the duty ot the \Yhisrs ol the country
to support their party presses. The ad
vice is good, and wc hope that several
postmasters who are quite active as agents
lor some ol the city weeklies, hut cannot
afford to take the Gazette ; and some
hundreds of whigs who seem to care more
for reading old and stale matters at $2 per
annum in something headed Philadelphia
or New York, than to learn the latest
news, both at home "and abroad, for $1 in
die Gazette, will profit by it. ihe News
exhibits a liberality for which it deserves
to be rewarded.
Y\ e have a few words to say 011 a sub
ject, in which, as the publishers of a news
paper, we may be supposed to be some
what interested, and yet we think our re
marks will he ot such obvious truth, that
their propriety will at once he admitted.
We refer to the duty of Whigs in town
and country to support their party press.
And by support we do not mean a reluct
ant hall-way support, but such as is decid
ed and effective—such as tells upon the ;
paper, and through it upon the community. 1
i o commence from home, many of our
W big country papers do not receive half
the support from tiie people in the eotm- !
ties where they are published which they j
need and deserve. We can advocate their
claims without any feeling of rivalry, as
our observation lias taught us that the more j
people read the more they wish to. Could '
we at once double the subscription to all
die Whig country papers in the State, we ;
doubt not that our our own country cireu- '
lotion would be doubled.
The party in every county must, or '
ought to have a local paper, and its sup
port must be from the neighborhood. It
may not be able to give as great an amount
of reading matter as the city weeklies, but j
the paper need not on that account be less 1
interesting. If it proves so, it is the fault ,
of the editor. There are plenty of local I
items, which have a peculiar local interest, !
to make any country paper read, if the j
editor attend to his business and takes j
pains to make his paper useful, l'ut he
needs the encouragement, the support and j
sympathy of those who think and act
with him. If he cannot have this from
those who think as he does, who feel in- i
terested in the advancement of the same
principles, and the success of men advo
cating those principles, he can hardly ask
or expect the aid of those who hold the
opposite views. Yet there are men in
every county in the State who pretend to
feel a great interest in their party, and who j
even sometimes ask party favors, who do j
not take their county paner. This is nut j
the way to build vp any party or to pro
mote correct political doctrines.
From the Danville Democrat.
Which of the two great Political Parties I
most friendly to the Poor .Han f
The above question demands the seri
ous, candid thoughts, and concentrated
reflection of every poor man i the <-ouri
try. The boasting "democracy" (?) of
our Union are loud and vehement in their
professions of friendly regard for the
" poor man." The " poor man" stands
conspicuous in all their political speeches,
harangues, and partizan paragraphs. But
how do their measures accord with their
professions ? They have adopted and
sanctioned a low rate of ad valorem du
ties—thus admitting foreign manufactures,
manufactured by half paid labor, and con
sequently sold cheap, compete with
American industry. By this anti-Ameri
can measure, tens of thousands of our
laboring poor are thrown out of employ
ment, are obliged to seek work in occupa
tions to Which-they are unaccustomed, and
at greatly reduced pay. And this it is as
i scried, is benefitting the poor man, because
he can buy foreign manufactures cheaper
than he can our own, especially under
protective specific duties. How is the
poor man benefitted by the cheapness of
foreign manufactures, when he is thrown
out of employment in his regular business,
and earning nothing, or working in some
other occupation at a price that barely
supplies him with the humblest necessa
ries of life ? Does the poor man want
railroad or merchant iron ? Is it any ad
vantage to him that such manufactures are
cheap ? No—lie may want a good suit ol
clothes, and English cloths may be very
cheap, but for want of proper employment,
and good wages, lie cannot buy even the
cheap British goods.
The rich and comparatively rich, are
alone benefitted by the cheapness o( for
'it?n manufactures. The policy ol the
elf-tyled democratic party, is to make
die rich richer, and the poor poorer. —
I heir motto in words is—" We are the
friends of the poor man." Their motto
in practice is—" Provide cheap articles
for those that arc able to buy, and let the
poor look out for themselves." It is the
rich who are benefitted by cheap railroad
and other iron. It is the rich and com
paratively rich, those in comfortable cir
stances —who'are benefitted by tin
'"heapness °f foreign manufactures ; 'hey
alone enjoy the lhe tar,n
' v hs. The man who has a w<!! scctin < ,
l*rrnanent income, even of but four .iun
'bctl dollars per year, is benefitted hy
'■'itaji poods. Jle does not depend upon
fluctuating wages of labor, and may
" "Uiftijlered comparatively rich. Such
ami those ill better circumstances,
'I") tin benefits of a low standard ol ad
•'in duties. Tne poor man suffers
The poor—those who labor in the
• v, form tin' most numerous portion
- 1 iii/'-u-,. Tfn v are throw u oit of
ilit in I, aid If occupation. Of
o dtged to work at greatly reduced wages.
, Such arc the effects upon the poor, grow
ing out ol the measures of a party which
claims a monopoly of all sympathy for
the poor man. '

Interesting Correspondence*
1 he subjoined correspondence, which is a
pnrt ot ?!iat recently transmitted to the House
. of Representatives, was published in tiie Na
tional Intelligencer of Saturday, with a view to
show the result of the negotiations between
this Government and Great Britain, in regard
| to the future establishment ol Protectorates by
the latter over American States. The points
to which public attention lias been directed in
tins country for the last three years as those in
which it is supposed Great Britain intended to
establish Protectorates, were VucatanandCosta
Rica hy Mr. Ghatfield, the British Charge
d A flairs in Guatemala, was, it now appears,
disavowed by that Government, When Presi
| dent Taylor received intelligence of the exist
ence of that traaty, lie caused the inquiries,
referred to in the correspondence, to be made
jby the Secretary ot State. The Intelligencer
• says: '1 lie result will be viewed with interest
by all who properly prize the value of amicable
relatione between the two countries. It will bo
remarked that this correspondence dates af'er
tiie recent treaty ; and the British disclaimer
j contained in it, applying, as it does, not only to
the Central American, but to all other States,
must quiet all those unfounded apprehensions
which have been so often expressed as to the
intentions of Great Britain in Yucatan and
other places. It is highly creditable to the
administration of Prosideut Taylor. Is not
j etch a result of negotiations far flatter for us as
a nation than the idle assertion, for popular
effect,of what is commonly called nnd supposed
| to be the Monroe doctrine, followed up, as that •
assertion has in some instances been, by the 1
| practical acquiescence in every aggression upon
American liberty which European Powers
chose to make !
BRITISH I.EQATIO.V, April 29, 1800.
SIR : I have the honor to inform yu that her
Majesty's Government have entirely approved
of the language which I held to you with re- ,
ference to your inquiry as to whether it was
true that Mr. Chatfieid "had made a treaty witli j
Costa Rica, taking that Republic under British
protection, and of the assurance 1 then gave
1 you that I did not believe, from the opinions !
which I had heard her Majesty's Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs express, that he could
■ have ailthorizfd Mr. Chatfieid to make any
treaty placing the Republic of Costa Rica under
the protection of Her Majesty. I have been j
j furthermore instructed to state to you that the !
British Government has not mude, and has no
intention of making, any treaty or arrange- J
merit with Costa Rica for taking that State
under British protection. lam also desired to
add, that it weuld be contrary to the fixed and
settled policy of Great Britain to entangle her
self by any engagement to protect distant
States over whose policy and conduct it would
be impossible for the British Government to
exercise any effective control. Such a protec
torate would confer no possible advantage on I
Great Britain, and might become the source of
many embarrassments to her. J avail myself
of this opportunity to renew to you the assur- 1
snceof mv highest consideration.

0-~y~ A Chinaman in San Francisco, by the
name of As-Sing, keeper of n Restaurant, left
open a cess pool on his premises, into which one
of the citizens chanced to fall, end the result
was ari action for damages. In the note ad
dressed by the eutFerers lawyer to John China
man, the following reply (in good Chinese) wa
returned without delay:—" By the laws of the
Celestial Empire, which-have bean in force
from the time of Confucius to the reign of the
present illcstrious Taukwang, it is provided
that when a man trespasses upon another's
grounds, and thereby falleth into n sink, he
shall get nothing but dirty clothep, unless he
shall happen to be an outside barbarian, in
which case he shall also get laughed at. As-
Sing believes those laws still in force in all
parts of the world, and also in California. But,
if Mr. E. thinks otherwise, he can trot that
ollicer along with the writ." The proceedings
were dropped.
RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. —A very im
portant opinion has recently been delivered by-
Judge King, in the Court of Common I'lcas of
Philadelphia, in reference to the rights of bus- j
bands over the property of their wives under
the act of 11th April, lcsso, of which opinion
the Daily News gives the following abstract: i
Ctorge .V. Gamble's Estate.—ln this ease, the
point decided was, that since the act of 11th
April, 1850, the husband of a wife, the owner ol
real estate, in her own right, has no interest in
tiicli estate—that he cannot either sell, lease,
charge or encumber ID any way, without her
consent—that the only interest !."t fcii in such
estate, if it can bo called an interest, is bis ex
pectant right therein, for life, in the event of the
wife dyii'K intestate, seized thereof—that this
expectancy depends on such intestacy, because
kbc can by will dispose of it absolutely, without
regard to the husband lie, therefore, lias no j
olrier interest in her estate ihuu any other of her i
representatives under the intestate law the ,

LYN< IR Law IN VlßGlNlA.—Culpepper Court
House, Ya., has been the scene of a great out
ra£e against the laws, and an act of fiendish
j inhumanity, which is thus noticed in the
| Fredericksburg Recorder:
In Culpepper,oa Wednesday last, a lawless
mob assembled at the Court House, and though
I resisted by the Sheriff at the jail door, entered
1 the jail and took therefrom by force, William
I Grayson, a free negro, charged with the mur
der of David YV. Miller, and hung him by the
, neck until he was dead. The Superior Court
! ot Culpepper had twice convicted Grayson, and
the General Court had twice granted him a new
trial. In the last opinion the General Court
said: '• Upon the whole case we are of opin
ion, that the testimony is not only not sufficient
to prove the guilt of the accused, but that it is
hardly sufficient to raise a suspicion against
him. Tiie judgement must therefore be re
versed and u new trial iwarded." This infuri
ated mob, consisting a3 we regret to learn, in
part ol justices of the peace, and of members
of christian churches, have thus by violence
1 reversed the decision of the highest criminal
tribunal in the State, and been guilty of a foul,
; cowardly and fiendish murder , and that too of
a helpless free negro, with none to defend him,
j nor avenge his wrongs. Grayson, wo learn,
avowed his innocence on the gallows. One
minute was given him in which he was told
ho was to confess his guilt; this he refused to
do, and told them to execute him at once,
which thoy did.
Au ful Fatality*
VYc copy the following from the Rising Sun
; (la.) 1 rue Whig u! the 20th instant:—A man
, trom Pennsylvania, (name unknown,) with a
wife and six children, left Cincinnati one day
last week, in a skiff', intending to go to Madison,
and when arriving at North Bend his wife was
; taken with I he cholera and died in a few hours,
! her husband nailing a rough box together and
embedding it in the sand, where he left her.
On arriving at Millersburg, a few miles below
tbis place, all of tiie children died but one, and
were buried in a like manner. The next day
the father died, and was buried on a sand bar
by a fisherman. This completed the whole
family, with the exception of a girl three or
four years old, who is now living with the fish
erman who buried her father. This is cer
tainly one ot the most remarkable cases of
fatality 011 record. The surviving girl is not
sufficiently advanced 111 years to give an ac
curate uccount of their origin or destination,
the above being the history furnished our in- i
iorrnant by the old man previous to his death
00" Some thirty years ago a clothier in this
State, remarked to a friend, " Look at that
young man just passing—the best workman 111
my shop—bo is going tomakoa fool of himself,
by leaving a good trade to study law." That
young man is now President of the United j
States. • Wise judges are we of each other!" '

LEWISTOWN MILLS.
THE subscriber Ins aeain gothis Mill started, and wishes
A to buy a LARGE QUANTITY OF ALL KINDS OF
| GRAIN, for which he will pay the CASH, as high as the
: market will afford, according to quality. Any person
having good Wheat will do well to call and show a sam
j plo before they sell, as he thinks he can afford to give
MORE than any person in the place. Those not wishing
| to sell and wanting to store, he will receipt after harvest
to be kept to the 1-t of December, and after that time he
will give a receipt to he kept to the Ist of August, us he
j will wish ' > close all his accounts twice a year, and will
nm keep any over unless he makes a written contract to
that effect If the person holding the receipt does not
! sell before the alcove days, it will bo carried out to their
credit at market price at the above named time. In gir
, ing a receipt, if the wheat is not good, he will mention
! the reduction jmr bushel in the receipt, so that when the
owner conns to sell there will be no difficulty.
Ail wheat left in store he will reserve the privilege of
: buying, when the owner wishes to sell, at 13 cents less
J than Philadelphi a price when the canal is open, and 10
rents less when it is closed, ami if he should not buy at
these prices, he will only charge one cent per bushel for
storage. No interest will be allowrd on money left with
him fir grain, as he will he prepared at all times to pay
the rash.
He will keep all kinds of FLOUR and FEED for sale,
| but the orders must be left in the office in the mill, and the
cash paid, before the Flour or Feed will be delivered.
This arrangement is made to prevent any disappointment,
as there is 110 person that has any privilege of selling but
llie Book-keeper, who enters it on the hook and puts the
order on a wire for the porter lo deliver. This will pre
vent any mistake from being rnnde in the filling of orders
