Wo have exported, fur instance, since the 1st of May hist, in a siaU article alone, over thirty millions; of which, a million and a half has been exported dining tha present week. It is true that thu uiticlu alluded to is one, w hich old-fashioned pooptu like !o keep at home. The export of gold used lo be considered, we believe, no veiy desirable result. But our modem financiers, especially treasury clerks anJ tariff' fabricalois, appear to ihink tho contrary; for we are now reap ing the fruits of iheir pel measures, in ibis exoessivi exportation of gold. Meantime we hear nothing of iho export of wheal, which according to Secretary Walker, waslo go forward in such iunnenso quantities. The .Kiijlir.li, it it seems, ara too old-fashioned in shcir uolious to lake com when they can get fc-ul l; what VI' heal they want they buy in tha lV.il tie, payinj for it perhaps, with the tery dollars Ihey estrac.i from us.

The 4th section of the Act of 15th of April 1S51, requires the electors to vole for Judges of the Supreme Court, on a sep arate piece of paper; for the other Judges required to be learned in the law, on a sep arate piece of paper, and the Associate Judges also on a separate piece of paper. This regulation applies to J"urtftumber land County, notwithstanding Ihe law au thorising our citizens to vote for all offi cers on the same piece of paper. 'THE LEWISIIl R(i DEMOCRAT." Some clever waj lias doubtless been practising upon the credulity of the editor of the Democrat, and, if we inay judge from the amusing account he gives of the state of political affairs in this county, has succeeded much better in entrapping hiin than we supposed any one could have done. The question of friendship for, or oppo sition to Gen. Cameron was nut, that we ever heard of, referred to, previous fo our County Convention, in connection with the nominations then to be made; and the edilor will see how much truth there is in the intelligence he has received, when We inform him that there is scarcely a man upon our-county ticket w ho is not a per. sonal friend of General C's. He will also heller understand the extent of the decep tion when we tell him that there was no ejection whatever, of delegates to our late County Convention, field by the democrats of this Borough. Thu delegates were agrired upon, in accordance with the usual custom, by ihe candidates for the different oOicea residing ia the borough, and conse quently, no videjie was furnished of any person's popularity, or want of popularity. The Democrat would uot intentionally misrepresent, and will, of courae, correct the error il hns committed, SUNBUltY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL THE CHRISTIANA TRAGEDY. Patriotic and loyal to the Constitution and laws of their country, as (he great mass of the sons of Pennsylvania uniformly are, it has for some time, been but too painfully evident that we have within our borders, a few discontented and reckless spirits who, having themselves neither character, repu tation or properly to lose, and consequently no interests at stake, are constantly striving to agitate the questions of slavery and abo- itionism, in the vain hope of inflaming the minds of the people of the North against Ihe South, and of adding a few more mis erable converfs to the inlamons doctrines of the ''higher law" parly. One of the tuvonle themes of these agitators is a de termined and unqualified opposition to the 1'ugitive Slave law, and there are some persons lo be found In our lower counties we rejoice that we have none of them here who strenuously advocate an open and forcible resistance to its execution, with an earnestness and zeal that shew their determination to persevere, regardless of consequences, and with a rashness that argues the existence of an intellect both wicked and depraved, or a heart most fear fully bent on mischief. If they alone were to be responsible for Ihe consequences of their acts, and ''sow ing the wind," could be compelled to "reap the whirlwind," without dragging the in nocent and unsuspecting victims of their deception down with them, hut little un easiness would he felt, and they would ex cite no other feelings than those of con tempt. But in this, unfortunately, as in loo many cases of infractions of the law, the deluded "catspaw" is made tosuflerthe penalty, while the more crafty and far more guilty projector of the plot escapes unwhipped of justice. The murderous affair at Christiana, Lan caster county, which took place on Thurs day the 1 1th insl., seems, from the best in formation we can gather, to be a!mo.st en tirely attributable to Ihe unjustifiable inter ference of these self styled philanthiopistt, who would involve this nation in a civil war, trample upon the Constitution, and dissolve this Union, rather than yield a pitiful theory which Iheir morbid fancy has set up as the law, higher than that which is written. It is most sincerely to be hoped that no effort will be spared, no means left untried, to ferret out the guilty advisers and abet tors of this most deplorable affair, and that whenever they are found, no sickly sym pathy will be excited to prevent them from being brought lo that punishment which they so richly merit. The holiest feelings of patriotism and the most sacred claims of justice alike demand it. We glean the following fads from our Philadelphia exchanges: Mr Gorsneh, the owner of two fugitive slaves Irom lialtimore county, accompanied by his two sons, iho Deputy" United Slates Marshall, from Rallimore, two officers from Philadelphia. proceeded on Wednesday evening, lo Christiana, about 21 miles below Lancaster, for iho purpose of arresting l tie fusitives. Alter n consultation between iho officers, il was deemed inexpedient lo make Iho ar rest until Thursday morning. From the best reports, wn learn, that Ihe colored pop ulation in the vicinity, having been informed of ihe nature of the visit of iho officers lo Christiana, held a meeting, and asked the opinion "f several leading Abolitionists as to what course Ihey should pursue. The answfer was, as one of the most cur rent reports stalet; 1 hat Ihey should stand their ground. Accordingly, about eighty negroes assembled, unci with aims, &c , se creted themselves in iho neighboring woods and corn fields. The signal of attack on ihe officers was the blowing of a horn. When Iho officers came upon iho parly, they were surrounded on all sides, nnd a deadly fiie poured upon them by luu na nnies Al lh) first lire, the owner of the fugitive slaves, an eldeily gentleman, was inslaiilly killed, and one of his sons moilally wounded. Another nf the parly, said to he a United Stales deputy ollieer fiom Hulli more, was also much hurt. A Philadelphia officer was fired at five times and mied. Ho was in the midst of the Unlit at Ihe time. The information lo the fugitive slaves that their master and thu ollicers were after them, is believed lo have been given by Iwo uegioes from Philadelphia, who dogged the puisuing party to Christiana. In addition to what is already known of this allair, which occurred on Thuisday, wo learn that Ihe scene of the murderous riot was in tho vicinity of Christiana, in Lancas ter county, near thu borders of Chester. Tho persons killed were Mr. Edward Gor sneh, an old gentleman who resided about nineteen miles fiom Rallimore, Md., and his sou, Dickinson, a young man. The father was shot dead by one of ihe fugitive slaves, of whom he was tho owner. The son wag moilally wounded in the bhmdy affray, and survived but a shoit lime. Tho slate who shot his master was himself wounded in Ihe lelt aim. lie is described in a despatch lo Police Marshal Kcyser, as a tall slim mulal !o lellow, with full round faeo, and good looking. Tho assailing parly was headed by r.n old negro pieaeher. When he saw the fallen bodies of Mr. Gnrsueh unci son he rushed forward with his arms esleiufed, saying 'Foi bear, men, forbear. You'll all bo hung ! 'i hey are dead !" There is no great excitement in the vicin ity of ihe scene of tho murder. No ouo has taken any interest in tlm horrid occurrence. Wo must add that Mr. Gorsuch ihe elder was not only Initially murdered, but robbed by Ihn blacks afler be was dead, of StOO in money. When our reporter left Ihe scene of the outrage, )outig Goisueh was yet alive, us was also the nephew of the elder Gorsuch, hut there, was little hope of Ihe recovery of iho former. r7 Gov. Johnston has issued a procla mation, wherein he offers a reward of One TiiorsANn Dollars, for the arrest and con viction of the person or persons guilty of the murder and violation of tho peace in the late tragedy in Christiana, Lancaster county. rXT" Judge Campbell visited this place on Thursday last. GENERAL CASS. Since our last number, the Conferees of Blair, Huntingdon and Cambria counties, have met and unanimously instructed their Senatorial delegate to the fourth of March Convention, in the most emphatic mannerf "to use all honorable means to procure an expression from that Convention in favor of the distinguished statesman, Gen. Lewis Cass, and to vole for no man as a delegate lo the National Convention, who is not his steadfast friend." The Representative dele gate had been previously elected with simi lar instructions. Franklin county, the birth place and old home of Mr. Buchanan, has also elect ed her Senatorial and two Representative delegates in favor of General Cass. HON. RICHARD HROADIIEAD, Our U. S. Senator elect, has always been a warm friend of Gen. Cass. But as Mr. Broadhead, has taken a decided Stand against Mr. Buchanan, the Pennsylvanian, Mr. Buchanan's shrewd organ, Is down upon him, and now denounces him as much as it eulogised him a few months since. We copy the following extract from the Harrisburg Keystone, on this subject : We challenge the Pennsylvanian to point to the principle, mensiire or usaae of the party that Mr; Brodhomt has violated, or failed lo sustain since his election lo the U. S, Senate 1 We remember well, that nt the time of his election, Iho Pennsylvaninn was most cxiravagant in its encomiums upon him aye, many an honest reader was fairly sickened wilh its iiausenns flattery ils con stant parasitism at the feet of ihe newly elected Senator !

Every man w ho dares lo advocate tho selection of this noble old palriol is de nounced and will continue to bo defamed by this most impartial democratic sheet, while the most unfaithful politician nol only ob tains forgiveness, but receives a beautiful wiitten puff, if he favors the vulnerable candidate of Ihn Pennsylvanian. This is the only standard of democracy wilh that paper. All men and papers are measured by it, and denounced or lauded as Ihey meet its despo tic demands. Those who support the favoi ile. no matter how bad may have been their past political conduct, "nro received into close fellowship, and all who oppose him aro de nounced as abolitionist in league with or be longing to Simon Cameron ! Subiriisison lo such arbitrary ladies will not be found Ihe characterislio of iho high-spirited, patriotic democracy of Pennsylvania. Tho Petinsylvanian characterizes nn arti clo in Ihe Keystone of June 24th, under Ihe caption of liMr. Buchanan nnd the South." as infamous." Quite piobably it did con tain some infamous matter, inasmuch as it was principally made up of extracts from productions of Mr. It., deliberately spread befoie ihe public, us his solemn opinions and fixed principles. Dut that it is infamous to re-publish, wilh respectful comment nnd announced opinions and principles of any man, we do not believe the public is pre pared lo admit. Will Iho Pennsylvanian in form ils readers what part of l ho article re ferred to it thinks infamous, Ihe quotations or Ihe comments of the Keystone 1 If Ihe hitler, then whether it endorses Ihe senti ments of tho former 1 A little explanation may enable us lo come to a belter under standing and induce the Pennsylvanian lo use softer phrases. 05" We learn that Maj. Dewatt receiv ed a letter this morning, informing him that the Delegates to (he Sunbury and Erie Rail Road Convention, which meets in Philadelphia on the 25lh inst., will be pas sed over the Reading Rail Road, free of charge, on application to Mr. M.

I .evi Woodbury, Associate Judge of tho Supreme Court of ihn United Stales, died nt Poilsmoulh, New Hampshire, on thu 4111 insl. For some thirty yeais past Judge W. has been a veiy conspicuous pub lic man, in Congress, in tho Cabinet, nnd on the Bench. Like Jackson, Polk, Calhoun, nnd others who have been identified with Ihe political history of the United Stales for some years pat, Woodbury, loo, has now departed this life. The Washington Union notices iho character of Judge Woodbury thus : "All who knew him, nnd who did not foi ho has been nn active, prominent, nnd Useful public man for Ihe last thirty years will deplore his hiss. We knew him inti mately as a member of General Jackson's cabinet, nud had n personal kuowl idgo of his wonderful capacity for business, his de voted attachment to ihe interest of his eonn trj'i nud his inflexible adherence lo those re publican doctrines which were illustrated by Ihe lives nnd services of such statesmen as Jefferson and Madison. Possessin" sin ex traordinary memory, he put Ihis happy foe-! Ully lo its noblest uses in treasuring up ihe ; wisdom of others, and in thus obtaining a guide in action which enabled him to avoid error and guard against prejudice. Uniting besides, lo a vigorous and ptlweifnl pereep tion, habits of grent temperance and patient industry, then; was no station in all Ihe te- Ulions of life which he did not adorn. Hence, whether in private life, in the sen ate, in the cabinet, or on iht; bench of our Supreme Couil the must elevated judicial position in iho world he has left u diame ter which will to ab.vays remembered with pride and satisfaction bv his coun try."
