that gentlemaro because of his wealth, nor will the

be humbled to the dust because he is poor. Mr. White
ha taken his (MUM in the world, be has been employed
by the .ariatoaacy—Mr. Wilmot by the masses. The
sympathies of Mr. White have been with the few, Mr.
Wilmot; with therany. Mr. White is the attorney for
the European landholders who are immensely rich and

. Ise national point of inew, and indeed in a political
point of elite, it may be regretted , that , Pennsylvania
should have parted with so much of her domain to the
English aristocracy; men who have no sympathy in
common with our people. Aliens to our. in4itutions, in
fact and in feefing., Ours is a a great agricultural coon
try,-it is congenial therefore, .with sound political econo
my that the public. domain be converted into farina, by
the men whose toil . and sweat must elevate it from
rugged wilderness to fruitful &kis—whom - it intelligence,
industry and patriotism is to cornier it a thirstier wor
thy the endearing mime of home..
Look into northern Pennaylvania. Look into the bor.
der of our own immediate neighborhood; and see whose
toil, Whose intelligence and economy it is . that has crea
ted one of the finest farming 'countries in the world.-
There rise no difficulty in answering this question. It is
the senterr, the ever worthy pioneers of our country; men
who are in possession of from one to four hundred acres
of laud. Their toil, their , bone and muscle have given a
high character to the country i and are these men, for
moth, because they have not been able to pay:the origi
nal purchase money for their lands; to be converted into
lenanla at will; and treated li k e English vaulter We
re.notert the sentiment of regret that the government of
Pennslyvanis should have'parted with so large a part of
her domain. eicept' to actual sdlleri ; far it does not
comport with the spirit of our free institutions that such
immense portion of our soil sohoki be owned by a few
aliens . Indeed, it is more congenial that our soil be par
titioned into fermi and owned by those whose honorable
employment it is to cultivate the earth.• We do not
wish to be misunderstood in this matter; in the general
view we would inculcate, we believe' the grounds we
have taken are tenable wawa! meet the sanction of every
intelligent mind.
The doctrine of property quahfiealions in America. is
most odious; it is an insiduoris attempt to effect indirect
ly here, the same state of things that has so long been
the scourge of Europeans. To create classes of . men
founded upon .considerations of property"—to aver that
one man is entitled to our respect and suffrage. because
lie has wealth, and that , another should receive, our op
position because it is his Intone to be poor. • Such "anti•
manta are unwonhy,the rinse and character of our go
„vernment, and cannot fail ,M receive , a, stern and over.
wiehning couistOnation and rebuke at the lands of a
community of freemen.- ,„ . • . • -
We must be permitted to express our sitoubdunent
that the friends of Mr.-White have- seen proper to take
grounds so grossly reprehensible; so utterly repugnant to
Americus feeling% and so insulting to every meal's the
community who cannot boast of Wealth: •If 'so& doe

we have already Marred the liberties of our country.—
We were prepared for almost anything' else. We did
not dream ihitthe enemies of Mr. Wilmot; in the face
of in intelligent COMMUIIiI would dare raise the odious
question of property qualification& But the Argus, the
organ of Mr. White in this county, has openly and in
gloriously . taken this ground., ' , •
In the loading article orate lad number of that paper
it is said, that” Mr. While has an inhered. based upon
considerations of property,' which his opponent' lwa

"The Bradford Settler."
We informed our readers last week, that Gen.
Patton had sent his printers to, Montrose-to- get out
a piratical paper to be called "The Bradford Settler,"
and cautioned our democratic friends against its
false pretensions. The Bradford Settler has made
its appearance.- We haie one before us. It Is, as
we predicted; filled with "sound and fury" against
the Democratic candidatefor Congress, andall sorts
of falsehoods'and misrepresentations' to deceiie the
people and induce them to vote with the Whip for
the opposition candidate.
The Bradford Settler purports to be published , in.
this Borough, which in itself, is a falsehood and
fraud upon the people. No such paper has been
published here. It was got out in CohLtlsk's office
at Montrose, for the special purpose of giving vent
to Gen. Patton's venom; and the matter requisite
to fill up the sheet is the same that appeared in Col.
Lusk's paper last week.
The bantling is the illegitimate offspring of de
generate parents, without a - local habitation, and
with no redeeming qualities but a name filchedfrom
an honest family to serve as a covering to its de
formities.

Genuine !Whig Principles.
• •• Gen. Patton is on the regular Whig track. He
says in , his Pirate...-. We- hold to regular nomina

is opposed, to their interests, then the nomination

ticeeditigly mildest. Tke'peopk hod not lime to
iimertigaie Mr,Walituser course. In other words, the
peoP4 are ignorint, they don't read nor understand
What their representatives are doing. It takes the
General to enlighten them i and as he did not mote
until alter the election of delegates.—but actually
.voted for delegates for Mr. Wilmot himselt—the
people were doomed to remain In ignorance, btlkd
folded—tied hand and foot, until the General, &nip.
sowlike, burst the badlis • asunder and proclalraed
liberty to the 'captives.
What a comment upon the wahine, and pre
sumption ofa man, a prey to selfish and ungoverna
ble passiim.
Since Mr. Wilmot returned from Congress, Gen.
P. his own free wilt and accord, said to
should vote for his re-election; but this was before
the delegate eleCtion—and We presume the General
had not had time to investigate his coarse. At the
delegate election the General voted for delegates
known as the open and .avowed friends of Mr. Wit
mot:. but we presume he had not then had time to
investigate Mr. Wilmot's coarse.
But the General'has awakened from his Rip Van
Winkle slumber. and the work of the ignorant dele
gates who did not understand Mr. Wilmot's course,
but voted unanimously for his re -nomination, is to
he knocked into a cocked hat by his superior inteM-

"Mr. White, them has an interest In common with the mass

Bach is the language held by the organ of the

men should vote for Mr. White inpreference to Mr.
Wilmot. Has it come to this I Is the reign of ter

We confess ourselves utterly surprised, that men
can be &land in our midst, at this day, who boldly
and unblushingly advocate such a monstrous doc
trine; and we cannot believe, even now, that the
mass of the Whig party will:give it their sanction.
But we will see.- '
It is sent forth by their acknowledged mouth
piece as the doctrine of the party. If they approve
it they will of course, as a party, vote for Mr. White.
If they repudiate it , they will at least hesitate before
giving it their sanction. We would much prefer to
believe they will both condemn the sentiment and
-discountenance the bileiless, brainless lawyer from
which it emanated.
