Honorable Secretary has proved correct.
Wo have exported, fur instance, since the 1st

thirty millions; of which, a million and a
half has been exported dining tha present

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

'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.

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.

manly nerve, of powerful mind of undaun
ted patriotism who, defying all factious and
personal consequences, stummed the tor
rent of di''ort and violence which so fear
fully threatened the very existence of this
Union ! 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

only standard of democracy wilh that paper.

DEATH OF JIDGE WOODRI'RY.
The Hon. I .evi Woodbury, Associate

nnd others who have been identified with

Fei.i.ow Citizens : Encouraged by the
ndvien of several nf mi- ,,e, I r,; 1. 1
nm induced lo offer myself lo your suffrages
HI Ihn next election for tho olliee of Associ
ate Ji-ijub of Northnnibeiland couuly. I
canno boast of being a democrat, nor w ill 1
exult nt being n w hig being of opinion thai
if a man have no other merit than Unit of
belonging to one or the other nf those re
spectable parties, however desiinblo their
countenance and support might be, such n
man, I say, is not tho besl candidate for pub
lic support. I tun of opinion, wilh the illus
trious Jefferson, that iho time lias now nrri
ved, w hen Hie only question, Hint should bo
asked in relation lo n candidate (for n Judi
cial office a, least,) is simply Uii: "Is he
honest, is ho capable, is he fti These ques
tions il is yniir unquestionable province lo
decide. Under ihis persuasion of the qnali
ficiitious for Iho olliee, il only remains for me
lo ay, lliat should I be elected, f w ill rn
deavor so to perforin the duties of Ihe office,
as never lo inquire, or desire to know, the
politic1?, or religion, o any suitor in Court.
One respectable gentleman nheady named
for ihe office, has ib't lined for the present ;
but intimates, thai in future, he may be obli
ged to you for your voles. My case is not
similar ns I am now in my sixty third year,
there is nol in nny human probability, nnv
"future" or mo in reference lo ihis matter.
