From thf Democratic Union.
V H A X (3 I S 11. SHUNK.
Tito pontlritinn whoso vnmo heads thin arti
cle, ia now the candidate of the Democratic
party of this State for Governor. The people,
with unanimity unpnrallclled in Ihe history of
our political annals, have substituted him in the
place of the late, much lamented UCNUV
A. MUHLENBERG.
To the prent body of the people of this Com
monwealth, it is hardly necessary to introduce
FRANCIS 11. SHUNK. He hns long li-en
familiarly known to them, and knowing him,
they are prepared to elevate I. im to the distin
puishud office of Chief Magistrate. A brief
fkelch, however, of bin life, at this deeply in-teret-tinp;
period of our ol it ict affairs, may not
he uninteresting1.
FRANCIS R. SHUNK is a native ot the
county of Montgomery, in this State. 1 1 is
forefathers were Germans, who emigrated, np
wnrdsof one hundred yeuis ago, from the I'a
lutitinta, on the Rhine, and settled in the neigh
borhood oftheTrappe. Histather was, also,
a native of then Philadelphia, jinir) Miintgn
mery county, and at the age of 10, entered the
service of hiscountry, and continued in her ser
vice for a period nt upwards of six years during
the war ofthe Revolution.
It was the ftite of Francis U. Shnnli to be de
nied the advantages of a liberal education. At
the age of 12 years he ubp, from the force of
circumstances, taken from the country schoo!,
and compelled, for several year?, to work for
hire with the miglihoring farmers. Eut his
active, enquiring nnd cnergetis mind could not
ho subdued or depressed by circumstances.
The deficiencies ot education at schoo', were
in a great measure supplied by reading and
study during his leisure moments, and by tench
iny; a country n hoo!, w hich, at the age of IT,
he commenced nt the instance of the farmers
residing in the vicinity of his birth-place. As
he grew up he emerged from his obscure jvvi
tion,nnd quickly established a reputation for
talents and integrity, for singleness of heart,
and honesty of purpose, w hich justly entitle him
to the distinguished rank and exulted station
to w hich his fellow-citizens are about to ele
vate hint.
While Clerk o( the House of Representntives
he was as much noted for the faithful perform
ance of the proper duties ofthe office, as for his
eminent usefulness to the Speaker and mem
bers, in consequence of his accurate know ledge
of parliamentary la w and practice. Ho was in
fact, otie ofthe mo-t efficient and active mem
bers in preparing and arranging the business of
hgislation, and that, too, without rendering
himself liable to the charge of obtrusion. I lis
value in this department is known and appre
ciated by nitiny gentlemen in the several conn
ties, who have been representatives ofthe peo
ple His knowledge of the lawp, and of the
history of legislation, made him skilful in draft
ing bills and reports, and qualified him for that
degree of practical usefulness which expedited
business, and nto-t materially letsencd the ex
penses of government.
As Secretary to the Hoard of Canal Com
missioners the members of the Hoard with
w hom he served, their record, and all the r.
gents upon the public works with whom he was
associated, hear testimony to his admirable skill,
arrangement and fidelity. In his capacity of
Secretary to the Hoard, he had on oppnr'uuity
of becoming intimately acquainted with the va- j
rious local as well us general interests of the
people of this Commonwealth, which required
at that tune the fostering care ofthe legislature,
and which at this time may stand in need of j
legislative aid. There is scarcely a county in j
the State that has nt been visited by Mr. I
Shunk, nnd the resources of which he is nut fa- I
miliar with. It is riot saying more than strict
truth warrants, w hen we remark that no man
in Pennsylvania has a better knowledge of the
slntistics of the Suite than FRANCIS R.
SHUNK. He may have his equal in this re
spect, it is true, but he certainly has not his su
perior. The writer ot this article has a person
al knowledge of the lint, that Mr. Shook de
voted much time in preparing for publication,
a atatistical tabular statement of the amount
and value ofthe Agricultural productions ; and
also, the amount and value of the various ar
ticles manufactured in each county of the Slate,
as returned by the township Assessors, under
the authority of'an uct of Assembly huing spe
cial relation to that subject. W'o deem the
possession of this knowledge a matter of no lit
tle moment, at this particular and peculiar cri
cis in the affairs of State.
As Secretary ofthe Commonwealth and Su
perintendent of Common Schools, big reports
to the Legislature, and his correspondence in
relation to the general business of the office,
and with the school directors throughout the
Commonwealth, upon the 6tibject of common
school education, and the administration ofthe
common school laws, furnish proofs of his com
prehensive knowledge of every subject con
nected with the department, and of his inde

Perfection in the science of government is
like everything else it must bo acquired by
close application nnd laborious study. To be
well governed, the people must, and generally
do, select a Chief Magistrate, and Representa
tives, who linvo made the Constitution their
study, nnd have a general knowledge of the
laws which regulate society, and guarantee se
curity to life, liberty nnd property. A know
ledge of thcs3 prc-requisiles to official stations
is not acquired by intuition. It is the result of
close reading, intense reflection, and practical
experience. A Statesman is not the child of
a n hour's or a day's creation. Years ol study
nnd official service have made the whole civil
ized world acquainted with the names of Jeller
son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson ami Van Hu
ren ; and to the untiring devotion of these men
to the political condition ofthe Union, we nre
indebted for preserving us from the grasp of
munitions demagogues, whose only aim has been
since the institution of our government, to build
up an aristocracy not less dangerous to the li
berties of the people, and perhaps more intolo-
rable, than the iron sway of monarchy. It can I
form no objection, then, to the election ofthe
candidate ot the Democratic party, that he has
been in office, but rather exhibits, in bold re
lief, the necessity, at this period of financial
perplexity, of elevating him to the Chair of ;
State. His unsurpassed anil intimate acquaint-
nine Willi the resources ot 'he State, acquired
,.jr iim t-A iei leoei-, w I i l e'lia e ic llllll lO ret'OIIl-
niend to the Legislature such Hienstins as will
tend to lighten the burdens of the people, by e
qunlizing and reducing 'be pecuniary exnctioiis
necessary to the preservation of the pledged
public faith.
In private lite Mr. Shunk has been proverbial f)f hj, S(;0 Ti0 nw'lX (f ,;,;.
for his household economy. As a public officer i8ia,ur0i ,, ,!,,,, wi)h w,oln ,, VM l(Ti.
no man has dared (vindictive and malicious ns , ciaMy ns(,ciated. ill unite in testifying that
party spirit makes the human heart.) to impugn N , all times, exhibited a livelv interest in
his reputation for strict economy, and nn honest ; ...nesting and devising wnvs and means to a
discharge ofthe duties devolving upon him. In j voi, th(. humiliating, hut unavoidable, necessi

he has been employed, he has been distinguish- ! ,",., j(8 I)(.cmiinrv PI1,tn, .., As Clief
ed for the same probity, intelligence, and uni- ! .M,,,rii;,r:lt0 f Pettnsvlvanin, he will carry into
form urbanity. For the trull, of nil we have ,.rrc t ii-n 1 execution the strictest economy,
stated, we may confidently appeal to every citi- ' Kwn to he proverbially honest and honorable
zen whohas had intercourse with him ns a pub- j j private life, he will not disappoint the ex
I c officer: and there are few men in the Cm- j pectations and hopes of a generous nnd confid
monwenllh who drive dnd intercourse with more ; ; p,.p!e, when he shall he clothed w'th pow
ofi.'s citizens. His general knowledge and nc- or nd nuthority, by changing his nature and
quaintance with the details of the affairs ofthe 1 eonverfing his administration into a medium of
State, always enabled him to anticipate what
was wanting, and to furnish required informa
tion on all subjects in the most satisfactory torn).
His talents nnd his skill added dignity to every
other station ho occupied, and have placed
h i in in a prominent and enviable position ns a
general favorite before the people of this Com
monwealth. The remark may be nnde with
great truth, that the trusts reposed in him were
such as requited ski, 1 unci industry, and that
he has been literally a working man in ottice
3 ud t ew tiiPii have performed so much labor for
a compensation so small.
1
His political principles have been uniformly
nnd decidedly Democratic. In early life ho
adopted for his guide, nnd has ever since strict-
ly adhered to, the political landmarks w hich
were established by Jefterson, the great Ajms-
tie of Freedom. With entire confidence in (.ho
capacity of the people to govern themselves, he
has been uniformly oppo-ed to the creation ot
powers in the government independent of their
control, and has been associated w ith the great
Democratic party in maintaining the integri'y
of the Constitution, and the unquestioned and Idrr (King's county') cm rerpuiidetit ofthe Tip
unquestionable right of those who are to he perury Vindicator, w rites as follows :--"A rich

stitutions. During this memorable struggle a- 1
gainst usurpation and treason, he occupied a
prominent position, and friends and liie acknow
ledged the firmness, decision and impartial
judgment w hich marked his conduct.
We have thus elucidated, by a reference to
the able manner in which Mr. Shunk has dis
charged his duties as a public officer, his entire
fitness to take charge ofthe helm of State, and
guide her in snfety to the harbor of prosperity.
We will now briefly allude ! another incident
of his life which rxiiihit him as a patriot will
ing to sacrifice his existence to preserve the
soil of his native laud from the foul and savage
desecration ot our ancient enemy.
It) HI I, when the Hrifish invaded our shores
for the purpose of encoring the iniquitous right
of searching American vessels, nnd impressing
American Seamen, a requisition was made by
the general government on Gov. Snyder for
troops to defend our cities and towns bordering
on the Chesapeake hay, against the savage and
merciless onsets of the enemy. To this call
Mr. Shunk responded, by immediately volun
teering his services, nnd under the command of
RICHARD M. CRAIN, the present Secretaiy
ofthe Land Office, marched to the defence of
Baltimore, and served in the division of Gen
Watsi n, composed of militia nnd volunteers
from the count ies of Dauphin, Li bauou. Vol k,
Lane.ister, RerksLiid Sehu 'kill. In this ex-
pedilion he united with thousands of his fellow
citizens in the defence of the Fatherland, ami
with them prowd that ns the people tire enpa-

ex'ravngancos and oppression. His well known
indiist rious business habits will, if possible, be
wanned into more active existence when he
nsstiti.es the reigns of government, and pre
clude the hope with those in w in in he may
confide, that any department ofthe government
w ill escape his personal in- poet ion Mid sti) r

machinery of our government, that no public

Simi lar Thiat. ano Execution of tiir
Mt'nni itKHS. A few days e'mce, wp copied a
paragraph from the Van Duron (Ark ) Whig,
noticing the banging of four men in Texas, for
the murder of Indian. Col. W. S. Reeves, of
Arkansas, has furnished the Van Duren Intel
ligencer with the following particulars of tho
affair, ns embraced in the confession of L. Ray,
one ot the miscreants :
"Andy Jones, White nnd Read, enme to my
house, and proposed to go nnd kill a party of In
dians who were encamped Hbout two miles anil
a htilf .ilmve my liou-e, on South Sulphur. At
first I objected, but they insisted we w ent, and
I prevailed on tliem to return. Upon our return,
we heard of Mitchell ; and Jones observed, that
if it was the same Mili hell that he knew, he
was i f the 'right sort.' Jones went to Meatch's
to get seme corn; on his route back lie met w iih
Mitchell, and they came to my douse and com
menced talking nlxuit killing the Indians. Again
1 endeavored to persuade them not to kill them,
but to no effect. They s'nrted nnd I went with
them. When we arrived nt the camp, which
consisted of three men and two boys, of tho De
laware tr be, Jones shot one of the men, Read
shot another, floth were killed instantly.
"Mitchell snapped at one, nnd bent his gun by
a blow upon the Indian's head, who ran ofl ;
they told me to pursue h'.m, which I did, and ran
about eight yards, and then shot nt him. When
Mitchell came up, he nsked me which way he
went. I told him to wait until I loaded my gun
nnd I would show him we pursued b in some
distance. On our return wo came by where a
little Indian hoy lay dead; I nsked Mitchell who
killed him ; he said he caught him and Read
stabbed him with his knife. One Indian man
(wounded) made his escape, also a boy, unin
jured. The properly takrn from the Indians
was twelve horses, four puns, three brass ket
tles, some saddles, nnd iibout forty deer skins,
nil of w hich were equally divided between ns,
five in number. At this time, Jones, White,
Rend and Mitchell have in their possession a ne
gro man', whom they say they took up in the
prairies. The last conversation I beard them
have they were talking of running the negro off
and selling him.
"Jones nnd White had conditionally eo'd their
pari to Mitchell and Read. Read observed that
he had done almost every thing that a man
could do, but ns to running neproes, he said he
did not know whether lie was a secure hand or
not. Mitchell observed that he had 'dealt in
the article seme, nnd the only way wss to sell
L i m, a inl n.-k dim to meet jim in some remove
p'.HO.nnd make clean woik ol'him, meaning to
kill him. Head told me that Jones and White
had killed a man in the State of Arkansas by
the name of Mess ; he said some men by the
name ot Piercy hired them to kill him, whogae
tin in n rnet: tnnre, n ritb1 gun, and promised
some money. W'li te iind Jones waylaid the
c rntii Id until Mi.; came to work. Jones fired
first, according to ngreeuu nt, and killed him.
Tluv got the r.iro uiareund carried her to Mis.
sonri, nd placed her in the hands ot John
Whitesi'les, who, w illi Kiias Rice, ran her off.
Col. R.snys that the triil was conducted in
the following manner :
"The company on the ground consisted of a
bout two hundred u ml fifty persons, who selec
ted four ofthe oldest settlers in the country to
choose a jury of twelve, whieh was selected
I'roin dill-rent parts; and of the most respecta
ble, men in the country. The prisxmcis were
nsked if they had any objection to bo tried be
fore this tribunal, to which they had none. The
jury was absent a short tune anil returned a
verdict against Jones, bite and Mitchell, ond
sentenced tlieni lobe hung, hut was divided in
opinion respecting Ray, who made the confes
sion. The verdict was submitted to the compa
ny, who loruied themselves in a hollow squaie,
when a voto was taken. The vote was unani
mous lo hang Jones, White and Mitchell. In
the case of Kuy, a lew wero for sparing him,
I because he confessed, but a large majority vo

Lord lohlron'a l-'ulflliur nt of a Promlne.
In the year 17511, when Mr. Scott, aftcrwnrdg
Lord Lldron, first been mo a candidate for
the borough of Woebly, l.e was received
and lodged in the house of Mr. Bridge, the vi
car, who, havings a daughter tden a young
child, took a jocular jromise from dim, that, if
lie should become a chancellor, nnd Ihe girl's
husband should be a clergyman, the chanci llor
would give that clergyman a living. Now
comes the S( quel partly rt dated by Lord Euiroti
himself to his niece (Mrs. F 'S'er.)
"Years rolled on I came info t flice ; when
one morning 1 was told a young ludy wished
to speak tome; and I said that young Jadies
mu;tbe attended to, so they must bhow her tip.
And up came a very ptet'y young lady, nud
she curtsied and simpered, and said she thought
I could not recollect her. i answered I cer
tainly did net ; but perhaps she could recall her
self to my memory ; so she aked me if I re
membered the clergyman at Woebly, and his
little girl to whom I had made a promise.
'Oh yes !' I said, "I do, and I sjppose you
are the little girl !"
She curtsied and said, "Yes."
"And I suppose you are married to a clergy
man V
"No," she said, and she blushed, "I am only
going to be married to one, if you iny lord will
give him a living."
Well, I told dor to come back in a few days;
and I made inquiries to ascertain from the bish
op of the diocese that the gentleman she was
going to be married to was a respectable cler
gyman of the Church of England; and Ihen I
looked nt my list, nnd found I actually had a
living vacant that I could give him. So when
the young lady came back I told her she might
return home and get married ns fast as she li
ked, for her intended husband should bo presen
ted to a living, and I would send the papers as
soon ns they could be made out.
"O no!" she exclaimed, nnd ngain she sim
pered, and blushed, and curtsied ; "pray, my
lord, let me take them hick myself."
"1 was a good deal amused ; so I nctually dad
tde papers made out, and I signed idem, anil
ahu look them back herself the follow ing tiny."
