attempt to stigmatize the Democracy AI the party
enjoying the sympathies of some portions of the

which party in this conniry, the feelings of the Ar

party of pm:miss—which has been for years bat

opinion til some leading Journalists in Britain, by
whom the nomination of Gen. Pierce is regarded
with mach self gratulation, as evincing on. the part.
of the Democracy of Ametita, a desire that the
principles of Ewe Trade should be carried out in
their fullest extent. From this manifestation of
sympathy, the Editor jumps at once to the conclu
sion that the aristocracy of England coincide with
Gen. Pleacx for aiwell knawn interest that exists be.
tureen themselves and the Democratic nominee—
a Ai/titlark)/ of dispositions, which our friend of the
Argue would fain lead his readers to believe in
obvious, at least to the British editors.
But a brief review of the actual state of the case
will, I doubt not, manifest the fallacy your content.
orary is laboring to establish.
The doctrine of Free Trade was propounded as
al doctrine peculiarly Democratic, by the party
- styling themselves par rxrcticacc Liberal. It made
one of the, deepest inroads, and as events pros ad,
the most fatal, upon the exclusive privileges of the
• A:itueracy, that England had ever witnessed. It
was opposed in every stage, every loot of ground
coati:ended, every parliamentary manoeuvre resort
ed to, that experience could dictate or inexhausti
ble means placed at their disposal, until at last the
ground won from them, step by step, aye, inch by
inch, they were compelled to surrendered at dis
cretion.
The present ministry,: composed as it is, of men
eminently anti-liberal both in prepossession and
profession, have,found themselves compelled to
strangle the qnestion of a return to a protective
policy ; by the ovetwhelming influence of the alit.
Fan and manufacturing population. This body
though not equal in number to those linked in the
agricultural interest, are yet from the peculiar woik
ing of the qualification in voting, demanded by the
Lo,slish laws, virtually the more powerful.
'Choi then stands the care : the aristrocracy of
Great Ilvitain, the great landed proprietors, are ne
cessarily oppood to Gen. PI.:FICR, and as an equally
necessary conclusion, favorably disposed to Genet
al Scorr, for upon a recurrence toe protective ph
cy on the part of the United States, under a %Vhig
President, they anticipate the retaliatory measure
of a duty upon foreign grain, by which they can
not fail to be benefieed. The old leases are fast
coming to a conclusion, and Farmers cannot by
any possibility, continue to rent at the same ea
orlitant rates, so that artless liberal A met ica plays
into the hands of the Aristoeraey of England, l.y
electing, a Whig President, the Liberal party :here
will have achieved the object for which they have
sedulously labored there many years, the amelior
ation of the laboring classes, whether Artisan er
A,glicnPural.
From ibis brief statement, it will be readily per
ceived, that the sympathies of Liberal England are
as they should be, with Democratic America;
while on the contrary, the best wishes of the landed
Aristocroey, composing almost all th 3 old . nobility,
are, (and we cannot wonder at ii) yearning to one
allied with them in feeling on so vital a point in
the policy of both countries. *

resx:-T.L.T.sriv. THE BATTLE GROUND
We have heretofore noticed the great dissatitiac,
lion which per irtitles the Whig ranks in other States,
and remarked that Pennsylvania is the only Stale
in which Gen. Soon appears to be submitted to qui
rilyotie enthusiasm with which it ti l ia r eceiv e d at
first Itarnig evaporated already.
This is the correct stale of the case. We could
fill our columns with the names el Whigs in other
States, prominent %Vhies too, men of mark and in•
fleence in the party. ;hit declare their determina
tion to oppose the election of Scorr, and support
IW:er6 Kist, but we know of ma ouch eases i n
Pennsylvania.
ft were strange if it were so; sit-twee if the nom•
Matto!' ol Gen. Server were not welt' received in
Pennsylvania; it will be strange if it should fail to
excite that enthusiasm which south to say it has not
)et excited.
The Whigs of o:her States, will deem it strange
knoWing as they do, that the nomination was made
with h special view to the necessity of carrying the
Keystone State, and looking. as they do, to the cer
tainty of theh receiving that vote as the only sure
relief in their present distress.
Winton' the vote of Pennsylvania no man has
yet been elected President. The vote of the Old
Keystone has twice decided ihe contest in favor of
the Whig candidate, and hi both cases, it was a
Military Chief a n who reo lived the outTrages oilier
yeomanry.
It was trot without reason then, availability be
ing the great desideratum in the nomir ation of a
Whig candidate for the Presidency, that the wishes
of the Whigs of Pennsylvania were consulted ; ev
en to the sacrifice of the great men and the great
principles of the party, nod a soldier placed in
nomination in the hope of again securing the sec.
CEE of the %V hi; patty, its principles admeasures,
by an appeal to the patriotic gratitude of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania.
l'ennsytva .ia then, is. again to be the battle
ground, in the great contest, between the two g reat
parties, and is well for her Democracy, to be ap
prised of the fact, to be prepared for the encounter,
to be aware of the actual positon of parties, and not
to onderrate the foe they'have to contend wish.
Of the general result we have no doubt. All the
signs of the times point unerfinety to the triumph
of the Democracy, in the election of PI6RC6 and
KING, even without the vote of Pennsylvania; while
the calculation of the Whigs themselves show that
without the vote they have no reason to hope for
the election of Sorer. Their hopes thencenter on
Pennsylvania, and here will their exertions also
centre. We see the beginning already.
Quietly, but not the less steadily is the work of
organization going on : quietly, but not the less ef•
tit:lenity are the preparations made for their appeals
to popular feeling, and popular prejudice which
are most efficient in fanning the name o: popular
ex:citement. and already the State is thatched with
electioneering documents ; pictorial lives of Scorr,
and campaign papers furnished freely, without mo•
ney and without price. The Whig party, however
they may be divided in other States, are united in
Pennsylvania, they have got for a candidate the
only man whose name was before the convention,
with whom they dared hope to be able to carry the
Swe.
With IVEDSTGR or Ftwenac they could not have
made a show of resistance; PICEICE & KING would
have walked over the course as the glorious Old
Hickory did in 1832. There will be no lack of
'• material aid" L e m other States. The success
which has crowned the efforts of the (Lupins's and
GARGN En's to enrich themselves at the expense of
the public treasury, has at once furnished an in
ducement for luture aural and a lend for their
prosecution.
Whatever then may be the general result, we
have a battle to fight in Pennsylvania that will de
mand our best exertions, it we would prevent iter
vote being again cast for a Federal candidate, or the
prestige of her name from being broken by the el
ection of a President without her vole.
Neither of these results are desirable or pleasant
to contemplate. The vote of the Keystone Stale
should be cast for PIERCE and Kfiro, and despi , e
the favor of Military glory will be, if her Democra:
or are not lulled into false security, by the encour
aging aspect of affairs in other States, and induced
to withhold the exertions that are necessary to car.
ry their own. Let us then look the issue fairly in
ttui face, and perpare _ourselves for what we hare
to encounter, lei us organize speedily and thorough.
ly, and circulate the documents freely, let Demo.
erotic truth at least follow in the footsteps of Feder.
al error; is Warn the committees ;" Keep it before
the Democracy, that the result of all their past la
bars hang on the issue of the present contest: that
if we triumph now, the past is secure, the future
full of promise; but defeated now, the labor of the
past must be again begun ; that the vote of Penn
sylvania cast for Pience and KING, secures their el
ection beyond the possibility of donut, and fixes
tusk forever in her proud position of the Keystone
of the Democratic Arch.
Nothing short of this, will meet the just expec,
tatinns of the Democracy of other States. Nothing
shott el this wdl discharge our duty to them and
to ourselves.
An early and efficient organisation will secure
it. Let itA begin the work, and carry it on remem
bering that;' the price oh liberty is eternal vigi-
I4nce."—Krystatie.

zens," and a desire to substitute for all present re
quirements; a single year of set vice in the Army or
Navy in tittle of war.
The lest chenge, if it be a change, in lavor of tut.
naturalized eitizeita is the only one, and is made
under very suspicious circums:ancex, in view of a
probableswant of the votes of naturalized citizens,
to the total atiolitiun of which his mind had hither.
to inclined. A new evidence of this has come to
light, which shows that at as late a date as 1 .841, iq
December of that year, when the election of Mr.
Pore, had, in the estimation of Gen. Scrim, renew.
ed. the necessity which the elecuirei of Gen. Hir t .
insold had obviated in tB4O He had embodied his
views and principles on the subject of naturalization
in the shape of an Act of Congress, which appear.
ed with accompanying comments in the National
futelligencer, over the signature of Americus. , •
This communication, now re-published, attribut
ed to Gen. Sewer and not denied, contains the fol.
lowing propositions :
" 1. To redtice the term of naturalization from
five years to three years.
" 10 ezdade aliens forester from the right to vote in
guy public elections whatever except—
" 3, Such aliens as shalt hare served two years
in'the army or navy, who shall thereby be entitled
to the rights of citizenship, including the right of
suffrage
" 47 Aliens shall be exempted from involuntary
service in the militia, the army, or navy, (just as
free negroes and Indians are )
operation six mouths af
" 5 The law to go into op
ter its paasage.
Here, then, isGen. SCOTr's proposition, matured
after years of deliberation, to deprive all Foreigners
who they come into the country, six months after
the passage of the act (or say six mouths after his
accession to the Presidency) of the right to vote,
unless purehased by two years service in the Army
or Navy ; it being enough, as he says in the com
munication, it we allow the children of Foreigners
born in the country to vote, without requiring their
fathers to come here and help us in the selection of
our rulers.
The men who framed our Constitution never
looked forward to the disfranchisement of foreign
ers contemplated by this act of Gen. Scott, but
while they made provision for a uniform mode of
naturalization to be established by Congress, made
citizens thus naturalized eligible to certain offices.
General Scores law does not propose to repeal the
Constitution, and hence it romaine the strange ab.
surdity of debarring a man from the privilege ol vo
ting for another to till all office, which he is allow
ed to hold himself.
The naturalized citizens upon whose votes the
Whigs are so confidently counting,. will be espe
cially pleased with that feature in Gen. Scores plan
which places them on a footing wi h Indians arid
negroes, by exempting them from the involuntary
performance of military duty; this alone should se
cure to its author their "most sweet voices"
Here is another Plank for the Whig Platform, for
be it remembered that Gen. Scott has declared
that " his principles are conviction," which be
must not be recurred to renonnee, even at the price
of a !'residential eammation, and it is not to be sup.
posed that if elected to the Presidency, he will fail
to Improve the opportunity it will afford him to car
ry into effect the plans he has for so many years
been maturing, for depriving foreigners of the right
of suffrage, he dearest privilege of a citizen, the
greatest boor, that we have to offer to the political
exile or the fugitive from oppression.

• A BEAR Pintiv.—The Portland Argus relates an
almost incredible story of a bear fight, which is
said to have transpired in Andover, North Surplus,
Oxford county, Maine, on Thursday last. As Eras.
ms Bean, a young man of twenty years, was hay
ing in Irk field, accompanied by a boy of twelve,
named Dunn, he looked up and saw near him a
large black ear, of the white-faced breed, (the
most savage oh the black variety.) Having taken
his gun with him to shoot patridges, he caught it
up and fired at the brute, but with little effect, the
bear in the meantime gradually closing upon him.
While preparing to fire a second time, Bean fell to
the gro. n,l, and the bear sprang upon him, and bit
and scratched him, severely lacerating his flesh.—
Bean finally ran his hand and arm down the bear's
throat, and the boy coming to the rescue, look from
Bean's pocket a jack4kn.fe, with which he, with his
untrammelled hand, cut the bear's4hroat hum ear
to ear, killing him stone dead while he lay on his
body He then threw the beast off, notified his
friends, had his wounds dressed, and is now corn.
fortable. It was judged the bear weighed nearly
four hundred pounds 1 One of his paws, which the
informant of the Argus saw, weighed two pounds
eleven ounces. This beats all the genuine bear
fights we ever heard of.
Terunt.r RIOT IN Ilsvrisunts —The Baltimore
papers•contain accounts of a disgraceful riot in that
city on Saturday night, between two fire companies,
the New Market end the United. They met near
the intersection of Howard and Baltimore streets,
and fought for three hours. Muskets and pistols
were freely used and all sorts of missiles were hurl.
ed by the contending parties.
The fight was renewed between 4 and 5 A. M.,
on Sunday, and lasted till 7 o'clock. A number of
persons were wounded. Among them, Walter
Sparks received a pistol ball under his eye, and
'Richard Hinton one in his arm. Mr. F. B Dither,
a merchant, while looking on at the fight, was shot
in the face, and is lying in a Cancerous condition
The police seem to have been either wilfully neg
ligent or wholly inefficient Only one man was
-arrested.
Aricrrfica.Brar took place in Baltimore yester

Revived, That ncAv is the time for action by the
people, and it is just cause of felicitation that every
section 01 our common country is in twethan, we are
pleased in being able to assure our friends abroad ;
that in our own midst, we are fully alive to:the impnr•
Lance of the pending political field—prospectively
I the battle of the age." n Our flag is still
there." "Tis tt e star-spangled banner "
Resolved, That we extend a cordial, earnest invi
tation to our Democratic friends generally of " Nor
thern Pennsylvania," and "Southern New York,"
to unite with their fellow citizens of " Old Brad
ford" on the glorious 23d of September, the aniver
vary of the victory of Alonterey. Certainly, it is in
no vain glorious spirit-that we say much depends
in the momentous election before us v upon the ac-
lion of ibis great agricultural rural region of country.
The history of the past sully justifies theconclusion,
that when the Democracy ot " N'ortbern Ternoll
- and " Southern New York" present an nn
broken kont, the electoral vote of the " Keystone"
and " Empire" States have vaitformly been given
to the republican Presidential candidates. To the
Democracy of this Congressional district, we ad
dress ourselves, in the lull confidence of meeting a
hearty response to our wishes., Every accommoda
tion for the comfort ot our friends from abroad will
be anticipated by the commute of arranoment CoL
H W. Root Chairman.
On motion of Col. Seth Salisbury, it was Re
vived, That we hail the present hoer as eminently
aospicions to the cause of constiinticinal freedom ut
the United States. Although clouds portectious of
evil, were for a time flitting athWart the political
horizon, yet, in the providence of Hint who holds
the destiny of nations in his hands, phe spirit of sec
tionalism is being rebuked. patriotically merged in
the inspiring bentirnctit of frateinid brotherhood,
and the excited ennobling, woik olprogressive de
mocracy in America, is happily rOflecting a flood
ol light upon the despotism of the ot old world"—
in vindication of the paramount right aad ability ol
man for self-government.
Resolved, That in Gen. Pass tchts PIERCE of New
Hampshire, we recognise a gentleman of fine tal
ems, exalted purity of character, a xipe scholar, an
enlightened practical statearhan, with firmness and
decision of character of the Jackson stamp—the ac
credited and confidential friend of she lamented Le
vi Woodbury, who was one of those great and good
men that occasionally appear- on earth to enlighten,
instruct and bless mankind. We ! rejoice that the

THE Caors.—The wheat crop, in this region, is
pretty generally harvested. The yield is - nearly
one.third less than last year. The grass was also
about as much short of last year's crop. The oats
are now ripening, and promise a fair average
yield. flue late ruins have insured an abundant
crop of potatoes. Corn is growing larniiantly, and
will only need a little moisture when eating, to pro-
duce a heavy crop —ltending,Dcm.
