There is nothing that, falls more sorely - on
the heartthen coldingratitude from one whom
we . have befriended: 'Dlr. WOodivard has felt
'this iti all its force heritofore, - but We think
thisAvill strike him as ° the - iink tilde st cut of

himself a friend to. Judge Jessup; even a self:
sacrificing friend. But now, When, Judge Sea
sup, Would seek votes at the hands of the Irish
citizens of this county, even his friend can be
sacrificed and falsified to gain that'objeCt
. . .
Now. fo r the truth of the charges against
judge Woodward.. It is alleged that he said
in It speech in the Convention to remodel the
Constitution, that foreigners' hmild not be at.
towed to'vote tilt they had resided here, twee
ty-Ona'fears. That Mr. Woodwenl eier made
theupeech which- he was -reported to' have
made, isrus Elise as the heart of sin. He has
ever disclaimed any such sentiments; and ov
er rove that time _for_ fifteen years, bas, in
public and private, everEwhere and on nil oe.
casisthi, - disavoWed any connection or syMpa
thy with Natireispie
Native Americana' :themselves;.-know full
well that he is not theirfriend. In 1843 Judge
Proodward was a candidate for United Slates _
Seniftor. In'. e Legislature were seven or
eight Native 7American members. Did they
vote for 'edge Woodward ? No."notone man
of them. They all' joined- tercels
,with the
Whigs,and defeated h t iin.' . This fact the record
Shows. Now, if he. ws &Native American in
prineiple-would not 'they have voted for and
elected him, thus securing a strong man in the
Senate? Certainly ii.o. Bat theihneti, Hon.
Geo . W.
.Woodward. They- Itnew that he
held no principle in common- with them,
Thg knew enough of thiimin to fear him ;--
hence, they threw themselves into the arms of
their common -.sympathiaers, the Whigs, and
defeated hini. • . - ' =
It is singular indeed that a man, whom the
.1 •
Native Americans - have elite persecuted as re 4
fentleis as 'death, Should Bel peilSecuted on the
i`iitheiside Us being a Native American. And
'are think it will look singular to t the people. of
Susqriehlftga County, that Wm. Jessup, who
has been boted on the Bench for throwinglin
pedinients in the way of persons who applied
for citizenship, shOuld - drag -Mr. Woodward
m retiracy„ into the present turmoil for the
purpose of building uphis sinking fortunes..;
We appeal to the generons-heark4"lrish
citizens of this county, who - have left their
home aniltheir country,—the hoMe and coun

As to the workings and principles of .the
Order We know nothing from personal knowl
edge. We do. wet. piesume though; that its
object is at all mercenary, and judging fiotie its
Constitution, we think, it may accomplish much
good. Mechanics, and altworkingmen, cannot
guard their rights too - ,zealously , and any'vt.s
sedation calculated to blend-closely their in
tyrests and sympathies should be encouragid.
The history dealt nations sends an impress
jVC lesson to the hearts of the toiling masses.
Oppression, they have felt' as 'no other class
can. Though ;by, far the, most numerous of
any, tfTir right's have been. . less regarded, less
cared for, andineore frequently absolutely in
fringed..--When a crisis approaches is einn
;nercial affairs of country; they feel it most
heavily, are the least able to bear it, and quite
powerless to defend themselves.
In this country they hayo far more power in
their hands than in others; hence can mere ef
fectually guard their rights But hero the
progress .of the_ age. in wealth and monopoly
is constantly tending to place them in a less
independent position. If the Order above seeks
to ally their interests, protect their rights, and
unite itS meMbers more closely by a bond of
comman, hietherhood, we bid it God-speed as
having in view noble objeots. •

success of the Inititution when, as in
this case, they are blended together; must give

candidate for Canal Commissiorer when a

triotic citizens of Pennsylvania, they soundly
swear that the present" is not a contest for or
against the-Mexican war," but "a contest
Ce
tween John Strohm and,Seth Clover!" But
mark the consistency of the fellows. :In the
very next breath, perhaps, they lug the name
of general Scott into the .canvass--point 'to
the laurels he gained in this same Mexican
war--:and tell'the members of their party that
if tlfey vote against John Strohm they virtual

that in all those districts where they havo,the

a highly prudent,and properstep, is the
most suitable way to 'select the . Judges and
