Present subserifiers who wish to avail' themselves
of this offer, can do so by settling up arrearages,
and commencing Chew..
Our object is not so much to make money, as to
render service to ;the. cause of Democracy during
the coming centrals.. The Federalists are putti n g
,forth extraordinary efforts to defeat the Democratic
nominees for Governor and Canal Conimissitmer.
It will be the aim of the;•ltePorte , - , m meet them
and give them battle at evert• ".pass on the nitre
they are marching—to refute their calumnies am!
.inconsisteneies; and to . place them in. their true
position before the people, in their dishon►rahle
sod factious Opposition to their country in time of
trouble.

Ask a Federalist for a satisfactory reason why the
nominee of his party for Canal • Commissioner
should succeed, and he will be puzzled to find a
Plausible answer. In tiuth„ no good reason can be
Oven... The Federaliias °nee had control of the
public works for three yearst, and we would' ask
;the people if any good resi4ted, to the Common
wealth from their administration? Did their go
vernment of the public works, for the three years
they had theor in charge, establish any character
for honesty of purpose and integrity of action ? Nay,
was not their administration of the affairs of our
canals and rail roads for that period sivialized by
a more open and reckless of public opin
ion—a more complete and utter prostitution of the
commonwealth's-resources for purposes of private
gain and the perpetuation of their 'frittlitical power,
than:was ever witnessed in any country ! Who
has forgotten the boast of the master spirit of that
iniquitous administration, that he 'would purchase
'so a many men for the defeat of tht; candidate for.
Congress in the Centre, Mifflin and Huntingdon
• Diftrict I The scends of fraudulent voting in Mot
. ris?township, bywhicit this threat was to be eec
exiled in that district, are still fresh in th‘reCollec
five of the people.. And who furnished the corrup
tion fund to accomplish these frauds ? Who passed .
along our public improvements prior to the election,
proclaiming unblushingly that he aiould effect this
and that object with the means of 'the Common
Wealth ? An anti-masonic canal commissioner.—
The most prominent member of that party whose
accidental elevation to power has been productive
-of more evil to the morals of the community than
all the other fruitful causes of vice combined. And
yet thka party, that was hurled indignantly from the
place it had occupied, to the disgrace, dishonor and
fatal injury of the character of our State and its in
terests;—want the people to " try them again."—
Pennsylvanians ! will you call back, upon your
public works the marauders of '36—J7tand - B.?
Will you consign your public works to the keep
ing of men who have blackened the annals of
your history by the fraudulent incorporation of the
United States Bank in order to procure, on the
ccellit of the State, the means upon which pecula
. Lion was to riot, and upon which it did riot ? We
say et We feel certain that yeti will rejeel the
nomin of that party to whom you owe no debt
but a debt of vengeance for the outrages they have
already perpetrated; and we feel just as certain
that you will elect Meatus Loamsracvii, whose
private life 41Id official character give a sure guar
anty that your interests—the interests of the whole
common.wealth, will be carefully guarded and pro
- tooted.

The following extract, of a letter, is from the pen
of Wria.t.tat C. TOBY, better known among the
news,mper fraternity and letter writers, as - John
of York "--a racy and spirited writer, who is new
in Mexico in the service of our common ctinntiy.
The rebuke is most just, and we trust it will have a
salutary effect upon these enemies of their own
country.
The writer has been a regular correspondent' to
the North American, ever since he lett for Mexico,
and of course it is from that paper he learns the part.
the Federalists take with the Mexicans.
The wonder is that the editors of that Imolai ever
permitted it to appear in their columns. It certain-,
ly could not have been read by them previous to
its pnbliestion, or the public would never have seen
them crireite , tinder such a lashing.
4 ANfI.WAR Fours !—There are now in 'Mexico
many thousands of your fellow citizens, who, at the
call of their and your government, left homes, kin
dred, all that was comfortable and productive of
happiness on earth, to sustain the decrees of that
government and the honor of the-nation. Whether
the war is wrong en right, this is pot the time to
dismiss it. 'lf wrong, it must be brought to an hon
orable-termination, and to do this all should lie uni
ted. The people- we win-- against gout not your en
coo ragement to boy in senitforyour brothers, mid inter
der them with the lasso and mackette. They need not
your pious chrses upon mue heads to incite them to hatred
of privy thing American. should hare your aid
and -support ; we need your eneciaragement to _sustain
us in the trials and hardships we encounter in this un
friendly climate. Our lore of country and our pawlrn
otie impulses made us fly to the rescue of our flag
at the first call. and -we can bear all the burdens war
imposes without riturmuting: but we cannot brook
your cold sneers nt our sufferinns, and your hypocritical
prayer's fit our defeat. Taman& new here will
never see home nor kindred. - The hail-storm of
battle and the unhealthy climate will thin our ranks
mote thdrt even you may desire, though your reins
swell firll of tory blood. gym should it be clearthat
the President was wrong in the course his has pur.
sued towanisffilexico is it
uir, is it putriotie in you
as Americans. to embtirrase hint and aid our twiny to
destroy us Vre, hero. know no party :no pohtimil
considerations influence us, and why should they,
influence von at such a time ? We care nothing
*lf Mr. Polk as a man, and if he does wrong we
shall not be behind any in avowing it when the
proper time comes. But we can see other work to do
just now. and it is a pity you are not better employed,—
If you will take part with the enemy, come here and do it
like men ; show that you have as moot mirage as treach
ery in your hearer, and that you arena tired to do (hat
you wish done 'by our hrs. If pis leant to flog Mr.
Polk. go aheud, but do not cut our throats in the doing
(fit. for there are a pretty snug plutyof us here who
-may . have a quarrel to settle with Thin and his ad
ministration-when this war is ended. That will be
whi6n IlitexiCo is thoroughly whipped. and us it will
-not take us long to do that, her friends in the Uni
ted States will find the few that are left of us ready
and willing to do them the same favor on our re
turn home,' Desiring you to understand that the
American Volunteers have generally minds to ap
preciate your efforts, and excellent memories, I
shall not waste paper by saying anything further, to
you while in Mexico.

The reader of the news from Mexico cannot
Gil to be struck with the extraordinary similarity
between the angry ilentuiciations of the Mexicans,
and the arguments of their allies •in this country,
the Federal /eadersiuninewspapers. There is the
same absence of all allusion to the causes which
led to the difficulties between the two' countries—
the same studied attempt to place the blame upon
the Government of the United. States—the same
pictures of the excesses of our soldiery—the diva
sitton to magnify the spirit and resources of . Meta.
co. The newspapers and politicians of Meiieo, in
these parficubus, enjoy a common sympathy with
the Federlisbi here. The address of clergy of
San Luis Potosi is singularly like •the speech of
Cessna.
To this hour, what is the burden of the Federal,
press on the subject of the War 1 Allem of the ex
ecutive exaggeration of oarlosses and expenditures
—false statement of the excesses of our soldiers—
and daily .misrepres, entationsin regard to the origin
of the contest. There is never, to be seen a sine
allnsion to the wrongs Mexico basheaped upon us.
We hear nothing, of the murders she committed, or
the property She sequestered, in her intercourse with
this country for twenty years. We hear nothing. of ,
her violations of treaties with the United States—
nothing of her treatment of the, umber/ding Texans
of the scenes of the Alamo--aothing of
the horri cruelties in fl icted upon all who fell into'
her hands during the difficulties with Texas : on
these subject& there is a studied and unbroken
silence, that contrasts singularly with the silence
of the Mexicans themselves on the same sub.
jects. Even the English press, flit° this ma
meet, has said less against out country on account
ofthe war with Mexico than the Federalists, and if
it should fall into the main of the opposition, it
would only bebecause it would believe the Whigs
before it would - credit the Democrats.
The men who sympathised with England in the
revolution and the late war—who sympathised , with
the Indians dtiying, the Seminole and Florida wars,
cannot' denrade themselves now' ' by, sympathising
with the Mexican' . Bat it is tu be hoped that their
pestilential praises of General Taylor will not save
them from the doom which there opposition to
their country has so richly entitled them to.—

The North American is indignant at theAetermina
lion of the Democratic press to give tict the opposi
tion the name they deserve-r-tlie name of Federal
ists: a title which our cotempomry choose'. , ito think
insulting, because, as is alleod, there is no reason
for applying it. This is a mistake. The name is'
applied with the best intentions, in the kindest
epmt, and from the very strimgest Teutons. Let us
re fe r to a very few of tfiese maims : As the Fed
„feral p art y e ffese d,theute war, it opposes the pre
rent ; as it oppcsued the purchase of Louisiana, it
opposed, and still detionnees ; the annexation of
Texas;--the Federal party; during the late war,
favored- a great bank, 430 does the present Federal
party; the one tho ye had territory enough,
and was alarmed at to idea of getting any mom,

For some months past the Federalists have been
ringing the changes on the ,Santa Anna Pass.—
Who gave-Santa Anna a Pass to return to Mexi
co," has been the answer to every thing said - by
the Democratic papers' in regard to the war. And
they have even gone so far as.to reduce the pas
to writing in regular form, as though Polk had sent
the woollen lured hero a written card of admis
sion to visit the country of his. nativity. The fol
lovritu, is the form which. Ferfendism has given to
this eelebra:ed pass. .
The commander of our naval Seees in the ellf
of Mexico is hereby notified, not to obstruct lbe
passage of General Antonio` Lopez de Santa Anna
and suite to Mexico, should he. desire to- return
thither. - ' JAS. K. POLL.
Slay IS, 174‘.
Now we hereve it i; ><rell '4:theater:nod' that
President Polk never gave Santa Anna this or any
other pass, but even if he had done so, it would on
ly have beenadmining air into kis own amso
try, and there certainly was no treason in such an
act.
Treason consists' in citizens conspiring against
their own country to bring - injury upon her, in in
troducing foreign spies into' her bosom and giving
aid and comfort to traitors ; and in this the ,Fede
ralists have always acted a conspicuous part. Who
