True Federial Doe,rine
The United States Gazette, which was edited lty
rovicknowletiged Federalist. of the hlue-litilit school.
just before its demise, in speaking of the relative
qualifications of the respective enntlidates for the
office of,f;tivernor..LlSes the followitez insolent lan
geage of Gov. Slittnk, 160 does not happen t.i be
rich, like Mr. Irvin. tint Federal Infinitive :
" IVe sfry nothing. about Mr. Shill& in connection
with trecilth, for we tin tint knsnr that he is rich—are

Whal will the honest but poor farmers anti me
chanics of our Commonwealth think of suds doe
trint ? Are they Nv i ißing that dollars.und
•be the test of -thOir qualifications or elktibillty to
office ? Shall it be said because a roan is poor that
he is not to be trusted, anti should not he elected to
office? We admit that Gov. Spunk is poor, and
the fact that he is poor is conclusive evidence that
he has never deli:Aided the Cuntmonwealtli, or
propriatert to his use the first cent which was not
his own. Gov. Chunk is known to be temperate,
prudent and economical in all his haßits and expen
ditutes, and the Fact that he has so long served the
people and reniaid&poor. is conclusive proof of his
honesty. Yet we have die deliberate assertion cf
the godfather of Federali4m, that "Poverty is espe
cially dting . emus in hilt place s:" A leading Federal
paper in this enlightehed age proclaims to the world
that an honest, upright and conscientious man .
should m i lt be elected to office because he is POOR.
We have been taught that hianesty. integritf and
ability, constitute the principles upon which to judge
of a man's fitness for publirservice. "is be ho
nest, is he capable ?" was thet criterion established
by t 134 immortal Jefferson, on his accession to the
Pretidential chair; and this bas-eyer ho•en the de
mocratic creed. But the Federal doctrine teaches
that poverty and dishonesty go .hand in hand—thai
a poor man, if he haprkns to want money and has
none of his own, will Use the people's. if he can get
it.
Such has been the doctrine proclaimed and prne ,
tised by. Federal leaders, from the organization of
their party it) the present time. Our reader&, will
recoiled that the same insulting arg.nment was Of
fered to the electors of this county last fall, pending
the election of Mr. Wilmot, as a reason why he
should not - be returned to Congress-- and we imag
ine it will be Sometime before'theywho advanced
the doctrine here, will forget the manner is winch
it was received by the people, and' its recoil upon
the heads of its- authors.
We like, however, to '• keep it before the peo
ple,- and in order to refresh their recollections . , we
again present in connection with the foregoing from
the United States Gazette, the Federal doctrine of
Bradford county, as published in the Argun,• of the
'ad of October last. That pager', in speaking of Mr.
White, the Federal eandidati fir Congress, used
the _"following truly FedeMs*aiment :
" Mr. WhileVostran interest ba.ved,opon mnsidern
tions of property. which Isis opponent has not."
• In this raped his position contrasts facorably with
that of his oppont-nt."
This was the doctrine of Federalism in Bradford
.county last fall. The people were called upon by
the leaders of Federal party to note for Mr .
White beaptse le wits rich, and to 'reject Mr. Wilmot
because he w"is poori An • indignity that the honest
yeomanry of Bradford . could not brook, and their
response to the appeal was seen in a larger vote for
Mr. Wilmot than for any other candidate in the'tield.
We have been waiting. for several weeks, to ace
if the Federal gaper of this county would respond
to the sentiments proclaimed by the United States
Gazette, as one of the leading prikcipler in opposi
tion. to Gov. Shunk, but we coneltide the rebuff they
met last year from the electors of Bradford county,
has taught them better manners, at least ; and that
they will and it good policy never again to reiter
ate such sentiments to the honest voters of Brad
ford, some of whom may, perchance, be poor them
selves, and nevertheless be honest and capitle. •
Yet such is the doctrine put forth by the leaders
of the Federal party. The people are called upon
to oppose Francis R. Shuuk. BECAUSE IIE IS
POORI Whether the 'people -- will sustain a party,
maintaining such Monstrous doctrines. the election
in October will determine. We believe they will
reptaliate the doctrine and itspromulgators, by again
p4eirkg poor, but " anir.s - efs. a Skil:N:7C, in the
Executive chair.

and more sublime in the estimate they place in

the vannting,bra,gsdacia style of the Whig press,
in speaking of the certainty of Gen. Ervin's success
at the coming election. The Whig, party are elas
tic in their feelings, and are always sure of success
ahead ; but really now, for them to talk of defeat

and ridiculous. The Republican party in this
Commonwealth were never more thoroughly uni

DYelancholy accurreince
We had a flying report; last week. tutu, a man
in the western part of thit,' county had killed his wife .
-by. accident but were unatile to collect the facts,
-so as to give them to the public.
The following, from thre Tic ga Herald, is perhaps
as nearly correct as any thing we could give :
, A sad accident happened near Troy i , Bradford
couity. on Thursday night,of last week. A Mr.
Pierce shot his wife, as is reported. under the.4ol
lowing circumstances. Mr. P. is an IN d man, who
had laid up some money, and labored under a mor
bid fear oirohbeN, keeping. for his protection, a
loaded rifle near his bed. On the night above
mentioned, he was awakened by a noise at, the
window, as_ of some one raising the sash. He cal
led, but received no answer. Something approach
ed his bed, and he ordered it to stand. It made
no reply, and continued to approach. Ile tired—
and a scream-informed him that he had shot his
wife. Iletimmediately alarmed the neighbors, 'and
when they arrived she wa# dead. She had been
at the window. emptying a vessel. the handle of
which she still held in her hand. No other person
slept in the house that Hight. and thr circumstances
have no witness but Alr. Pierre himself"; buthis
;:tateinetit, as we learn, is , J.enerallyd credited.

the expected attack, and the shipping was removed
from between the cite and castle. Gen. Pierce
came in. and mustering a reinforcement of 700
men. again marched out to meet the enemy. The

It has long been hinted ineiL ie n tii nsii .quarters, that
there ii a disposition on the part of e inhabitapte
of Cuba, to have" thatfeland to the United

spring? wi th rich planters at St. Jeri who declared:
to us, that the reports of this - feelieg on the part of
his countrymen were well founded ; that in the
Vicinity of his home, a majority of the planters fa
vored such a disposition of the island, as should
.efieedily bring it within the coutrol, and under the
protecion of our republics/a institutions. We are
hence, not surprisedi to see in the New York Sun
of Friday, the following article. fromthe pen of Mr.
Beicit who passed last winter in the West ludies,
1 and - who, as he says, speaks advisedly :
,
I_l7OA t•Naust Tut rI.AG or rua UaaTED STATES
-,-When in Havena last winter, we hada consulta
tion with a meeting of the most influential and
wealthy men of that city upon the union of Cuba
to the United States, and promised, to lay the mat
ter before the people of this country as rani as, , the
Mexican question had been disposed of. Mexico,
to all intents and purposes, is now in our posses
sion. All parties a{ the United Suites, and even
foreign nations look upon, that question as, settled so
far as conquest and occupation are cincerred, and
we now hasten tcefulfil our promise, and that pro
mise must beimr;apelogy for this'artiele. Cuba by
geographical Oosration. neceashy, and right belongs
to the United States, it may and meet 'be ours.—
The Moment has arrived to place it its our hands
and under our flag. Cuba is in the market for sale,
and we are authorized by parties, eminently able
to fulfil what they
.propose, to say that if the United
States will offer the Spanish government ohun
dred millions of dollars Cuba is odes, and: th i t with
r 3
one week's notice. the whole amount will rais
ed and paid over by the inhabitants of

o f
One week is all they , if our Gore inn nt will
only make the offer for them to act upon, an which
Spain is ready to accept. This is no nisi . but a
fixed fact, of which we haft seen, and now hold
the most undoubted proofs. The poss. ion of
Cuba will complete our chain of territory, id give
ei ,
us the North American Continent. It is th garden
of the tvorld, the key to the Gulf, and the richest
spot of its size on the face of the earth. Fr m Flo
rida point to its north eastern coast is o y fifty
miles, bringing the Island almost within cannon
snot and sight of the United Gates. „Cul . yields
to Spain an annual revenue of seven mi ions of
dollars, besides supporting 25,000 soldiensfexpen
deig at least a million a .year upon fortifications,
and paying another million in salaries to evil and
military officers—in fact her total revenue , o Spain,
is over ten millions, which will double , themoment
:it comes under the United States. Cuba roduces
the best sugar, co ff ee . , tobacco, arid tropic - fruits in
the world. It has gold and silver, and th richest
, su rfin
copper mines known. Its harbOrs a of the
country and climate are unrivalled , and in ess than
five years its revenue would more than pay the en-,
tire purchase money asked by Spain. C u ba must
-be owns! Stretching from i'lqiiida to Yeaten, it
commands the Gulf and coast of Mexico.lt is lar

key to the Gulf of Mexico. .Give us Cu and our '
possessions are complete. Spain is re yto sell,
the Cubans are waiting for us to make the urefuuw,
and to come at once into the Union. Le the thine
be done; we pledge ourselves that th hundred
millions wilt be forthcoming', to meet thefifier. and
that Cuba will prove the richest conquest ter made
by the United States.
Federal Achlereineuti
. .
We have already sn,vested to of Federal
friends that as a party they Katie nume s claims
upon the gratitude of the American peo e, which
from sheer modesty they are not in t habit of
urging upon the public attention. -In at article
we intended to confine ourselves to the ovements
of patriotism and wisdom which they b -e erected
as a national party, and the honors th ey ave won
in the course of their connection with opposi
tion to thg.general Government. No wonder they
are modal. We fancy tbailio party err • existed
which in the short space of fifty years, has crone so
much to make its friends blush.
Bet their performances in Pennsylvania onght not
to be forgotten, inasmuch as they- are at this time
asking to be trusted with its government. For the
'sake of the militia General from Centre county,
who wants to be Governor, we are willing- to let
the public remember how bravely, hew admirably,
and with what consummate ability discretion,
judgment and honesty, the affairs of the Common
wealth were mewed under the rule of Ms party
when it was in power before,
1. They chartered the United States Bank, which
\ pen
de udeol the people, including widows and or
phan out of at least fi fty minim:m;(lf dollars, by the
most at dour swindle that ever was practised on
the face 01 . r 1.3„ i earth.
2. They - mandered the State in a manner
that was tnten to prevent a Fair representation

3. They started an artiallv finished the Pet6-s.

4. They expended about thirteen ailiimr, of the

It may perhaps be objected to, this - view of the
case, that General lavis ought not to be held re
sponsible for t h e misconduct of RrrNza and
STIVEn. But wy not! The principles of the
party have undergone no change' that we have
heard of. What Federalism cool& Make Itrrsea
do, it could make lavm do with more ease ; for we
speak advisedly when we say that lavis is a wea
ker man than RITNER was. Besides, Mr. Tarp/
approved all those absurd and wicked measures at
the titne they were enacted ansince. Instead of
turning away from Them with didisgust and loathing
as a just and wise man should, he loved the Rmsai
administration with an affection which increased
with ja wickedness and grew with its folly. He
was Mitt and is now, the most devoted admirer of
the meh who composedcomposed

the same ticket with Rrrasn, anti thought it " glory
enough to serve under such chief." Who pre
