    Fncfn for Ihc People.
The Sunbury Gaxette I trying to make tome f
;ts readers believe that Charles W. Hegins, is well
a ourselves, were opposed to Gov. Porter. Now
we appeal to Mr. Ynungman himself, and ask him
as en honest man, to say whether Charles VV. He
gins and ourselves have not always been among
tho veiy warmest of Gov, Porter's friends. We
ask Mr. Youngm.in,bccBuso he has strong and go d
rcnon to know xvhi thcr we were so or not. We
ask him whether we have not been even a toarmcr
supporter of all his mcasuri a than ho himself. Mr.
Youngman knows nil this, and has proof upon
proof, and as an honest ninn we dare him to deny
it if he can. Dont he himself say, in his last paper,
that ". B. Manser brought us an article for pub
lication, he mid, at the request of Mr. 1 logins,
which was far from being a 'mitk and water' coif
cern t there was no mistaking, it was a real fire
brand it toek hntd of the PcnnsyhaniqJ&eper
ter, Spirit of the Times, and others, and gave them
a sound lashing," &.C. This is the language of
Mr. Youngman himself, And now for what was
it thnt we gave them a sound Lulling 1 Was it not
because they abused Gov. Porter on account of his
special message t and did not you refuse to publish
the piece, because you said you did not approve of
the Governor's course ? Wus not the piece a
strongly written article in fnvor of the Governor 1
We rtill believe, notwithstanding your violent op
position, that you have sonic regard for your cha
racter. If so, then wo dare you lo deny the truth
of the above statement. If you do, we will cull up
on almost (he whole town to prove it.
A Clincher.
A highly respectable gentleman of Augusta
township, authcriz" us to say that Mr. Young
man, tho eJitor of (lie Sunbury Gazette, declared to
him a tew months since, that Guv. Porter w as a
thaitoh to hi party, and that he never could be
re-elected Governor of Pennsylvania.
To show Mr. Yntingman how much lenity we
exercised toward him, and with how much truth
we charged him, as having hern oppos d to Gov.
Porter, we now state upon what grounds we made
the charge. We would not even now have made
public the above fact, if Mr. Youngm.in had not
stated, that we were no democrats, and opposed to
the party. The people can now judge who are the
demounts, and who are the true friends of the
party.
The oniee-Imntt r.
A man who travels daily through parts of the
distiict in which he is a candidate for ofTici', and im
pudently nks every person whom ne meets, whe
ther he is personally acquainted or not, to vote for
him, may come under tho denomination of an
offici -hunter. Puch is tho course of J.sse C. Hor
ton. But when, in addition to this, a candidate, who
has no merits of his own to plead, sneers at the nets
of his opponent, and without daring to make th
charge, which he knows would be false, insinuates,
for instance, that he, himself, would not vote for
four dollars a day, he exhibits a mind so grovelling,
ond so infinitely below even the contempt of repu
table men, that his nee is indrsciibuble, withou
a name ; and no one who hears him, can refraii.
from thinking, thnt hi daily services, in the assem
bly or at home, would not be worth one-third of the
money.
Maine Election.
The lat adviees rhow, that the contest in this
slate for Governor will bo close So far as heard
flora Kent was several hundred ahead, and four or
five districts to be hejrd from. The whig papeis
sy that Kent tvill bo ehcted by a tma'l major'ty.
It may be sj. This election, it is said, will not
however form a proper criterion to judge of the
Presidential contest. Local pn judiccs and feelings
were strongly ei l'.s'cd by b. th p iti 's.

The foreign news I y the Tlriltania anil Dr'msh
Queen, will be f und on our outer page. Th
Queens speech is said to hi.vo been more bar en
than u unl. Nothing was aid in relation to the
nfY.iirs of France. The threatened war lelwoen
that coun'ry and England, in consequence of th
diilicu ties in the Ka-I, seems to have been blown
over. The French stock-job' ers aro supposed to
have been at the bottom of the mutter, and it is
said M. Thiers, ihe French minister, was connected
with them in umc degree) and ha acquired a hand
some foituue of several millions of francs by iho
operation. Tho Harvest in Eitglund seems to have
been highly favorable, and grain had in consequence
somewhat declined.

V are averse lo interfering in tho local polities
of any iicighlHiu'ing county, for we think such a
course uncalled for, and paiticuluily where our
party have the asceuduney. Uul we have rattans
in svery section of tho Union, and our kindly feel
ings are generally awakened whin we observe a
disposition to injure them either mora'ly or politi
cally. Snch are our f.t hngs ' lUB ca" t

treachery of those who have received the aid of his
official influence. We have known him fo? years,

fession, and as the able representative of an intelli
gent and democratic constituency j and wherever
we found him we met the gentleman, tho lawyer,
and tho zealous advocate of pure democratic principles.
From riorltlu.
We find the following most amusing letter from
an officer engaged in the cruel service in Florida,
in the Army and Navy Chronicle. The picture he
draws, though full of touches of humor, is suffi
ciently distressing. The ludicrous and the pathetic
are blendtd in absurd harmony t
Fi.nn.inA, July , 1840.
It has rained ever since, and, including the 30th
June, excepting one day ; and in Florida most tru
ly is the saying good, "it never rains but it pours."
It is tny opinion that must all the Indians sre
drowned out of the everglades, and are now roam
ing about middle Florida. The war never can bo
ended until the savages aro cut olT from supplies;
they Will bo joined by whites, and I only wonder
that more do not join the mnrauders. There ne
ver was a better theatre for land piracy than poor
Florida is now. If I had any influence, I would
advise that ati appropriation bo made fir hemp, to
hang a squad of pnlc-fatns, who infest the country,
much moie to its detriment than a troop of red-skins.
It would have a good effect to ,1mltristrri:e a few
of them.
I verily believe thnt this wn cannot be ended
without ot least 100,000 men in the field at oncct
and not then, without the most vigilant gua'd on
the coast with armed steamers; for oven were the
Indians all gone, white men, especially Spaniards
from the Islands, would continually plunge into the
woods, paint and dress as Indians, and plunder and
kill. Should the war ever be ended, Florida wil I
beasccne of nrsin, pillage and murder, for lOyrais
after, unless it be put under martail law, and no
whic or Mack be allowed to g into tho interior,
without a passport from some competent authority.
You don't know how provoking it is to sit down
on a log in the rain, while the men are hauling
yoar wagon and mutes out of a swamp, and think
of tho proceedings of Congress, which you have
read prola' ly the day before: how Mr. So-and-so
spent lulf a day in sta'ing that he had been misre
presented in son.o newspnticr. At such times I
think to myself; "there is a man who gets light dol
lars a day for talking ; and here is a poor soldier
who gets seven dollars a day for working like a
heaver." They give us but little credit at the
North foi our sufferings and privations here ; no
one out of Florida knows whut they are.
Well, bo it so. What are swamps to a memler
of Congress with a good comfortable tiro to warm
his feet by, before he jump-i into bed! What arc
hammocks to a rotund alderman who employs four
horses to haul him homeward ! What ere long,
dreary marches, through torrents of ruin, to an edi
tor who wears cork soles to avoid the dew ! Let
eviry city sportsman who is caught out in a show
er, hunting, think of us in the wet ! Let every
g ntleman, sn! ject to Ian, when he forgets Irs um
bro la, think of us in the pine woods under a Flori
da sqn! Iot every visiter ot Saratoga, wht) !
quails his Congress water, think of as, drinking
our 8"!ut on of rotton limestone! and I reckon hev
will thank their stars tiny never listed A week
or a mouth is small potatoes, but when it coma? to
i.ot only a yeai, but the ploral, u is too much of a
good thing. If Congr. ss weie coinp. lie 1 l , hol.i
their at s-ioni in the cvorg'ades, and C"iiiinue there
un it too war was emtej, I will bet my old h.ots
that they would pass a bill at one reading to raise

THE TOMATO.
We are receiving new evidences of the utd ty of
tliisgr.it. ful garden v.getiblc in preventing and cu
ring indication, and diseases f the liver an I
lungs. A writer in the Farmer's Kegister, rays it
has been tried by several persona, lo his kn i ledge,
with decided success. They w.ri ulllicted, says
he, with chronic cough, the primary ciu-e of
which, in i nc case, supposed to be diseased livei
in another, diseased lung". It mitigites and some
imcs effectually checks a fit of coughing. It was
us ii in a dried slate, with a little sugar mixed with
it, to render it moie agreeable to the tasie. The
writer expres-es a conviction, that if freely used in
July, Aug. 1st and September, it would prove a com
plete anlido e lo hi'ious fever.
The Tomato, ti have it in eaily use, should be
started with us in a hol-b,d ; though, if it be i iUd
in ubund anee, it may be diied, whieh is our pra
lice, and at command through ihe y nr. The mode
of drying is s follows; "Full ripe torn. ton are
scal.ied in h t waier, to faeil tale tlx- opera ion of
taki' g nlf the skin ! whin skinned they are will
boiled with a little sug i' an.! salt, but no water, mid

yeas and nays on the pas-a;e of the bill. We dn
this for the purpose of shewing how little rthunee
can be placed ill the assertion of the M'llun Ledger
and Sui.lmry Gazette. So fur from opposing a
reform uf the present hankiiiij system, Mr. llegins
voted for ju-t such restrictions on the banks as the

These improvements whicli arc hut a commenre

in progress, recent as llt-y are, have already given
a new l.fe and iinpetm to this section of our c uu-
r-
With thee views and under these consider t-
tions, we, in common w ith many of our most r
teemed fellow citizens, conceived that a well con
ducted journal, if properly encouraged, roulJ bo
rendered highly serviceable to the coinmnni'y. Tho
progress of improvement and the rapid increase of
population, indeed require (hat the press should net
only koep puce with the spirit of ciitnip-iz-i nnd in
dustry, but as a pioneer lead the way and stimulate
tj exertion the en'erprizing and wealthy capitalist.
Tho establishment of anew presi in this jd ico
has frequently been spoken of, and wis long sinro
in contemplation whenever a favorable opportunity
shuuld occur. We believe that period has now nr.
rived. Our dodgn is lo maito tho American a po
tiiarient nnd useful journal, conveying useful ar l
interesting information to all clashes of readers
Conducted with the utmost decorum, its lone nn I
sen ti un nts shall at all times be such, that the most
scrupulous parent may place it in the h-Midsof at y
member of his family with perfect impunity. Lo.v
seurrili-y and violent personal abtiso shall he care
fully excluded from ils columns. And whilo wo
rh .11 always be ready and prompt in the exprefsio i
of uur opinions upon martirs of public policy, v. )
shall always endenvor to prrserve that'decuru i
und extend that courtesy towards our cotemporarie
and others, that one gontletncn has a rg!it to ixpe. t
from another.
To ihc interests of the farmers and cultivator of
(he soil, the bone nnd sinew of our country, who,
in an agricultural point of view, form llie bi-if of
all trade, cninrnerco and manufactures, wc thill .1 -vole
a portion of our columns, and spread befor.i
them such matter as shall bjjiolh useful and in.
t rtaitting.
To the mechanic and nil other--, we tiut -f
shall ho able to make the American un iulercMina;
and instructive journal.
In pulilles xve shall, as Wo have already nrt
iiotiuced, support the geni tal and stale n.liniiitsir .
lions. In advocating there-election nf.M.iirrif
Vn Hi nrn and Riciiarii M, Johnson to tho
high stations which they now occupy, and xxh.eii
they have filled wilh such distinguished abilities,
wo shall c inline ourselves lo mea-ures and tl.a
principles upon which ihey are gtou'idcd. Rcnim
inntiou and low personal ubttso which Ihe rancor
nf political wa.lno never fiils to produce, r.nd
which we regret to say is indulged in to nn iilm. t
unlimited extent, by lite partiiau prisais uf i ither
side, we shall carelully avoid, dtemiug it not onl
demoralizing to the community and derogatory t
the high character of the press, hut unwise, iuw
politic and unjust.
To our fearless and patriotic Governor D ivi l IT.
Porter, who has thus far identified himself with
the true interests uf the state, an I whos-? wise nod
nlu'aty measures have receivid the appro' alion of
every honest a. d lilieral mind, xve shall extend our
