have heretofore acted with the Locofoto party,
and several of the hardest kind, who haN l eopenly
espoused the cause of Henry Clay. 'lnstead of
listening to an_ exposition olthe Principles' Of the

4th OF JULY.
This sacred day, which will be dear to every A
merican citizen, so long as the glorious cause of
Liberty 'and the rights 'of man, triumph over ty
ranny. and oppression, was celebrated in this Bor.
ough in a proper spirit, on Thursday last. The
different Military Companies paraded at an early
hocir, and presented quite a Martial appearance.
That old and beautiful company, the NI.TIONAL
.Lienr INF.vsTny, which has recently been re-or
ganized by the election 'of EIIWAIID E. ,BLAisri,
as Captain, and D. J. Ridgway as first, James
H. Campbell as Sessind, and 3Villiam Pollock,
as Third Lieutenants, turned out strong, and look
ed exceedingly well. 'They marched to Tumbling
Ruh, for Target Firing, the result of which we
have not heard. -Maj. Brawn makes an excellent
commanding officer, and the officers and men look
ed well.
The WASIIINGTON kIITILLERISTS, command
ed by Capt. Nagle, paraded for the fiCSt time with
their new and'beautiful Brass Cannon, a six Poun
der, and the way 1.4 y made it to/k, Would bo a
Caution to any foe that would dare assail our in
stitutions. The Company presented amartial sp.
Tearance, i -. ' it new uniforms, and the cominand
ing WYK:CC b orn a captain.
1
The Tudop, commanded ,by Capt. - C.C. Wyn 7,
Itoop,Turned out stronger than • usual, which we:
feel gratified in stating. It is one of the beat com
panies in the United States—we are proud of it—
and hope that, although' expensive to the mem
bers, every exertion will be made to keep it in a
flourishing.condition. , t , •
The German Yagers, also turned out strong--
they look formidable with their full equipments,
and: appeared more like soldiers who had been in
active service, than any of the, other CoMpanies-
Capt.Doerflinger and the other officers; deserve
great credit for their commendable military spirit.'
The' Welch Temperance Society elsO paraded'
the Streets; with 'their beautiful Banner, whose
motto bespoke the character of those engaged in
the glorious; and benevolent cause, of Tem'perance ,
aiithe Oak." Where were the other Tern
peranCe processions Echo answers where. .
The Sunday School Children and Teachers be
longing to the Methodist Church, also paraded the
Strects,, and' celebrated the day in a rational and
becoming manner.
The' most imposing celebration of the Day was
by.the Sunday School. connected with the Presby
terian Church, the proceedings of which we are
•
sorry our limits will not permit us to notice in
full. The basement of the church was Beautiful
ly - decorated with Evergreens and Flowers, and
three immense tables were loaded with all the del
icacies that could be obtained, displayed in the
most gorgeous manner, with the American Flag
arrayed at their head. The ' Church also;wita ap
propriately decorated. Immediately over pul
pit floated the Star Spangled Banner, which
, "Waves o'er the land of the free •
' And the borne of the brave—"
On one side was the Dectararion of Independence,.
and on the other an appropriate Banner, "Feed
my Lambs." The Declaration' of Independence
was read by Master Nicholas Wynkoop, and a ve
ry able and appropriate address delivered byE.
0. Pai-ry, Esq., whose subject was 4. Civil Liber
ty,—its influence on our Institutions." He traced
the influence-of the Bible On-Civil Liberty, horn-Its
first translation in the 14th century; by Wickliie,
up to the present time, and drew a powerful con
trast:between Bible countries and thnie in which
it is prohibited froin the masses. All who heard
the address speak of it as one of the most power
ful productions they ever heard. The number'
who joined in the celebration,childreil and their f)a.
rents, "&c., was upwards of six hundred, and.du:
ring the services a:number of National odes were.
sung by the company, and Mr. Dyer, the Blind,
Music -Master,. whose performance contiibuied
greatly to . gratify and please this large a=sembly.
lage number of the friends of Clay, Freling
huysen 'and Markle, partook' of a sumptuous din
ner serVed up by Mr. Daniel Hill, of tliePOttsville
House; who knows how to tickle the appetites of
Epicures. The Company was large and. enthusi
astic, the particulars of which we will give in our
next.

Democratic party denounce the present Tariff as

The Native AmirieeProceasion on the 4th or

as being one of the largest and , most magnificent
affairs ever gotten up in that city.
The.rimor that the President w uld call en ex
tra session of Cengresd, is now generally. discred

' NATI:MALI ZATIO Er lairs.—ratorts are making
by Jesiguing persons to create the impression that
an extension of the Na.turalization laws, requiring
21 years' residence, woild'affect the rights of those
citizens already naturalized. Such is not the fact.
A man, as soon as he is , haturalized, is entitled to
all the rights of an American citizen, and no law,
can be passed depriving him of those rights. As
an Alien he is also entitled to all the rights of an
American citizen, except the privilege of voting'
and a limitation to thelielding of not more than
5,000 acres of land, eno O gh in all conscience for
any' one' men to own. T Naturalization laws
expressly declare,
lat. That Aliens may reside in our territory.
. .
2d. That they may transact any commercial
business' in our cities or elsewhere, on equal terms
with natural born citizen's.
3d. They may rent houses for theii residences,
and stores for their merchandise.
9th. They are entitled' to the same protection of
life, liberty and property,; by the laws of our coun
try, as natives.
sth. They shall enjoy a perfect right of eon
sci nice.
These are all privileges of Aliens, and a mere
extension of the term of residence from five to
twenty-01e years in the country, would not de
bar any emigrants now in the country, and those
who may arrive hereaftei, from any of the above
mentioned rights—the same protection would be
continued to be extended to them—and those who
, :are already naturalized,:nothing but the convic
tion of certain crimes, can ever prevent them from
the exercise of all the tights and priveleges of na
tive born citizens, with !the exception of holding
the offices of President and Vice President of the
United States. No naturalized citizen •is _eligible
to these offices. NO;;woubl the contemplated
change interfere with the rights of coriscience—it
is a mere political change—conscience has nothing
to do with it, in a religious point of view—Jew or
Gentilecan erect churches. and worship their Cre.
ator according to the dicthtes of his own conscience.
pilovided he keeps within the pale of good morals
and decency.
Our Object in penning this article is to disabuse
the public mind - with regard to false reports, which
are now • industriously circulated. by some design
ing persons to .accomplish political objects.
Loco toco IVlsiTrivo.—The Locofocos of
Schuylkill county, after; four. week's hard work
and drilling, mustered a meeting on Saturday last,
numbering about-600 pqrsons, (according. to a rep-'
resentatton we received from one of their own par
ty,)' one fourth of whom were whips attracted
to, the spot,, and nearly a similar number not vo
ters. it is said the pockets of some of the would
be office-holders suffered considerably in getting
up this meeting, which is no doubt thefactas

there kieing very little Cheering, except .fiom tt
squid from Minersville,:vvho cheered by command
of their, aptain. We Were absent from the Bor.j i
Ong and therefore cannot reply to the remark
of the speakers, which , with one-or two excepi i
tions, we are informed, was miserable staff adi
dressed to the lowest and vilest passions of the
people, unconnected With any exposition of prinl i
ciples or measures: To -day they will see such an
out-pouring of the people that will strike LoeO
focoism dumb in this region—they never can rally
again. • .
Gen. Faddy Thompson, of South Carolina
and late Ministerto Meiico, lately addressed a po- r
litical meeting at Albany. In the course of hi s
remarks he alluded to Henry Clay as follows:
have lc - nOw hire, •long and will. He ha
been associated . w th him in public. life and had
seen a great deal o im the social circle and in
the seeluSion .of hem But well and intimately
as he'had known him, lie had never heard Mr.
CLAY speak of party or of self. When discus
sing, whether in public or private, questions of
national policy, or ineasures for legislative consid
eration and action, Mr. Clay's whole thought
seemed to be what will best advance the honor,
welfare and prosperity of the Country."

most able and effective speeches he had listened to
for a long time. Our German friends appeared to
1)e delighted with it, if the freqUent.bursts!of ap
plause with which . the speaker; was greeted, was
any criterion to judge from.: He was folloWed by
dotry Biases, Esq., of Orwigsburg, who made
a strong appeal to the people{ urging therri to lay

of the State and Country, without regard.to the
dictation of party leaders. He was followed by

While iri McKeansburg, we took occasion to in

of parties in that section of the County. We were
assured by all, that they did not know of IF single
change agairist the Whigs 'since 1840, while on

changed from the Locofocbi party, several of
whom were at the meeting. Such is our infor

TEM:MILE FLOOD IN ;DM 3iII3:4ISSIPPI—The
St. Louis Republican of June; 22d, giveS an ac.
count of one of the wort destrlpctive freshets that
ever occurred in the ItlissisiPPi. The water at
St. Louis, was near thirlyilitc, feet above !Sow wa
ter mark, flooding a large portion of the city. In
Second street, the water extended from liazle to
the junction of Second and Fifth streets, being in
some places, front four to five!feet de'ep. The low
n 1 in flout, and all the lo4ilands between Sec
ond. and Third, end Third and fifth streets, were
several feet under_ water. ; Afany farnilieizi have
been compelled to move out. and we believe, from
what We saw and heard, thaOhere must be a good
deal of individual suffering.
In front street the water Was three feet four
inches above the curb stone, ,4nd in ecnne places'
the river is from .ten to fifteen miles Wide', The
St. Louis Reveille thus notice's the state of things :
"No Be-r , rosr !—A chap Who wasn't afraid of,
water, rolled up his pantaleons above hiS, boots,'
and went wading all:ce:the submerged side-walk
on Front street, yesterday, .amid a great deal of
laughter and jeering from the 'people on the boats.
"0, you be d—d," (ducked is What; we al
ways mean'in making use .of this blank,) said the
man, "I know where Fin going!"
Going" had barely eshaped his lips, when he
was gone, clear out of sight," into a cool cellar,
the door of which had been removed to 'receive
an anchor that moored a steamboat.
As he' scrambled out, the laughing of Course,.
was more furious - than ever, and the wet individ
'ual sung out, " 0. I've coinelo anchor, but you
can't say I'm aground."
The WaConda Prairie in tile Missouri is entire
ly covered with water froth bluff to bluff,' a dis
tance of 14 miles. At Wyandotte city, not a
house has been leftstandingH- at Liberty Landing
the ware-houses were all under water—Dewitt,
Brunswig and Franklin were completely ihunda
tett—the town. of Nashville Was also completely
inundated, and every person had left the town,
All the crops on that bottom will be destroyed. The
loss of. property of every description, from the
Weston to thg t mouth, will he immense. ! Hun_
dreds of families have been left with nothitig sate
the clothing they had on. 4, fact the scenes of
misery and distress, all the way down; are such as
'to almost defy description. At Camben Bend.
two men were taken off frcitna tree top nearly ex.-
haustedAaving been therm twenty-four hours.
The river is filled with drirt,iind a large number
of houses were seen floating down the river,
gcther with cattle, hogs, furniture and produce.
According to the latest accounts the water was •
still rising. .
Tan FLOOD.—We have dates frond St. Eouis
up to the 23d. Eighteen inehes more have been
added to the mighty mass of', water ! The • Rev

to4en feet deep. The river , had fallen seven inch
es, however, previous to the - departure of the Linn.
The, towns of Old Franklin and Nashville,* is

the water was up to the SeConii, stories of the
dwellings arid warehouses; all the inhbitant.s r had
removed to the bluffs for safe 4. I i
The water was four feet deep on Second street,
in the city of Alton, yesterday morning, and rais

TEXAS OR DISUNION.
1
A.:. STARTLING DE if ewe. ENT.
ylir, have recently. copied into Our Columns,. a
Dandier of paragraphs from various Southern Jour
nalS, indicative of a spirit of disaffectiori to the U
nion. We fear that iiith certain ambitious men,
the Texas' question has been seized upian, for the
purpose of prodocing Miltind feelings I:itureen the
North and South, and of leading ultinfately to a
dismemberment of the Republic. Senator Mc.
Duffle has, more than once, - thrown but ambi
.
goons ,huits upon this subjectomil in observe
that one or two writers, have more recently spo,
ken of "the Empire of the South," inicontradis
tinetion to the entire Union.. The N. Y. Coil.:
rier of Saturday last, contains an able article upon
the subject, in which; some of these xpressions
are alluded to with suitable comments. A e co
pyl a portion of the article, as conden ed by the
Newark Advertiser: and invite to it, th i e.attention
of every truly patriotid mind.
That the nomination of Mr. Polk was effecte'd
by the influence of the Texas questionn, is; we be l e
lieve.iconceded on off hands. Mr. Van Buren's
lettPr On the subject, it is confessed, lo't him, the
nomination, and the protracted strife at the Balti
morel,
Convention, was finally settled b promises
from South Carolina and other southern districts,
that the nomination of Mr. Polk and the adoption
of the Texas project Would secure the whole or the
greater part of the South and South West. The
sinister suggestion prevailed, and the party, in the
distraction of the hoUr, was formilly committed
to the nefarious p10t..1 The delegates from- South Carolina, who had therefore stood aloof' spectators
of the strife between Messrs. Van Duren and
watching for the moment in whi h to make
this overture, were fo4hwith taken int full com
munion, and were first and foremost in raising the
cry for "Polk and Texas!" which" 7' s at once
taken up and sounded through all their organs at
the South.
•
These are undeniable facts, known t the whole
country. And since the adjourinnent Jr Congress
the recognized organ of this section of the_.Polk
and Texas party at Washington . City (The' Spec
tator) has had the indiscretion to boast of its tri
umph. That there May be no room for misun
derstanding or caval,,we quote its language :
" The hale CongrBss which has just) arisen, we
believe, will be.considereo one attic ost event
ful, which has sat since the Revoluti n. Three
great' questions have !been before it—: bolition•a
gitatian on the floor Of Congress, the anti, and
Texa's annexation. They have all been. decided
against the South, and against the . tr e interests
'
of the Union • but if She arouses her e ergies, end
Moves as she did in the late Baltimo e Conven
tionall with her will yet be well. Never was
there a snore remarkable proof o her power
when unitat, than in cOntrolling the nomination
of that Convention.l The man, in whose favor
she had declared—in !whose favor the whole North
and West had declared—eame out a ainst a poli
cyn.l. 'essetial to her peace, and safety. She made
one brace sally andrsuniat 'all opp .sition before

apprOaching Presideritial election. "exas defeat

Benton. The South united, is suf /clew. at all
times, for her own destinies ; and sl e alone will
ever be to blame, When her intere is and honor
are trifled with or overthrown." '
This boast of-southern power was.ll
ed by Hon. Silas Wright on Wedn • •
spee'eh at Castle Garden; who-in sp
Convention, distinctly said—
" A new Convention, 'Mr.. Writ

Now let it be reMembered in thi
that the pledge -,J Mr. Polk to go fe
annexation,' had betn secured long
the nomination. in 1 a letter.to aCi
mitte, dated April 21:1,'1844, he said

boaSts, that these Texas schemes

to -their. treasonable plans. What
are;, fully appears by the publish
and declarations; mid they embrace
than 'Free Trade and Tesaa,' or a •
the Union.'
No longer ago than the last Saturday of the
session, Mr. Benton charged upon 'dr. McDuflie
in open Senate, and ;the Washiogton Globe of the
same day publishes! certain proceedings in -the
South which unblushingly avoW -it. Public
meetings in Union county, in Edgefield, in Barn
well, in Sumpter county, &c., &c. have all put
forth this as the issuk 'Polk and Texts or Dis
uniOn is the cry ollSouthern locofocoisni. The
Barnwell. county Meeting 'designs ted the very
heart-stone of den.'lackson and J tines K. Polk
as the scene •of these' schemes of disunion the
following was among- the resolutirms adopted at
that meeting :

But the South. Carolinian, the' organ of these
malcontents, published at Columbia, submits' a
more regularly dige-Sted plan !of proceedings in
case the Treaty is , rejected--thhs
1. -To call uporinur deletti ns in Congress,

should be noted, that although Congress has ad

4. That the President of th.i United. States . be

GEN. MARICLE.—HIS PROSPECTS. AND
' ' • QUALIEICATIONS.
. .
, It affords us much pleasure o learn from recent
unmistakeable demonstrations. that the prospects
of the Whig Candidate for GoVernor, are of the
most cheering cnaractCr in every part of the StMe,
and that his election by . a handsome majority is no
longer a matter of deiuht. We. say this .in no
spirit of bravado,! hut !in perfsct confluence 'and
from an honest conviction that the predic.ion will
be fully verified: ' We' are flit y aware, that the
friends.of Mr. Muhlcnberg are making every exer;
lion to ensure his success. . We know, too, that
the principal efforts of the Lecofocos'are directed
to the Gubernatorial contest. They know that td
elect Polk is out of the question—that to give Iffin
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania even; is an im
possibility--and they presume, from the fact of
their having at every previous Gubernatorial con
test succeeded when United, that they can by a'
vigorous effort do so nuain. So far-as Mr. Muli
lenberg is concerned, therefore, they still hope--
and that hope as we before intimsted, is a sufficient
inducement for them to strain every !nerve to main
tain the ascendency in the Suite, if they cannot in
the Nation. • I . '
But despite all their, efforts' they will fail—their
'&leat is destined, to prove a llVaterloo affair. Mr.
Muhtenberg valiantly- as he fought for the ?Loral
-notion—successfully its he las managed to pro
cure it. can never each h 5 Executive Chair.
The time when a' Locofoco n ruination was equiv

some queer notions off their wn 'about measures

their zeal for the'eause-Of democracy overdone the
matter, and as might have been expected, the story
soon recoiled upon then4elves. The people began
to enquire amen" ' ther*lves why Gen. Markle
was thus assailed. Upon what grounds did indi
viduals, who knew nothing whatever of the Whig
nominee, presume to circulate such reports . ? The
answer was plain. GeniMarkle was &farmer, and
according to Locofoco Logic, it was because he teas
a farmer that he - was
.pronouneed unfit. Had
Gen. M. been a recreant Prirson, or'-a miserable
pettifogger, or a Gentlen4n 'of Leisure, or an-Ex-
Minister, or an Ex-Member of Congress. no one
would have presimied to ciuestion his ability. But
a Farmer was ignite another sort of personage; in
the eyes of these " democratic " locofocoa. The
public saw through it at d, glance, and numbers of
them have already resented it. The Locos would
now gladly repent in sackl cloth and ashes fur the
foolish deception they attempted to practice upon
the people, if the evil could be averted.
General MARKLE in a Farmer. His friends-do
not deny it. They are priaud of it. It may even
, be that his hand writing is cramped and 'stiff and
. not so good as it might be. If the Locofoces can
make out their case that: he is therefore unfit to ! be.
elected Governor, they arewelcome to'do it. But
every man' of common till4ervationxnust know to.
the contrary. We verily believe that every one of
our readers can pick out er point out among the
circle of his agricultural acquaintance—in a single
• county—it may be in .a single towiishiP--a dozen
or more of farmers like Gdn. Markle, who- would
do honor to the, station of Chief Magistrate of.the
Commonwealth. We protest that 'the offices of
our Government shall be Monopolized by gentle
men of the learned profdpions. -The great ma
jority of the people of Pennsylvania dre Farmers,
