Federal Reforms.
It is usual with the Federal prints, near
the time of an election, to talk loudly
about reform, and to promise the correction
of all real orimaginary abuses. But prom
ises, whenever success attends their olforts,
are forgotten, and they signalize their term
of authority by broken pledges, abuse of
power arid contempt of popular rights.
"Either and Reform" was their ral
lying cry in 1835. Through accident
they elected their candidate and a majority
in the assembly; by purchase they obtain
ed the senate, and thus had the unrestrain
ed possession cf the government of the
state. All, familiar with the transactions
cf that day, remember how the power thu3
rained was abused; that injuries were in
flicted upon the commonwealth under that

houses of representatives; and that these
are but a part of the enormities perpetrated
by the federal party during their brief ex

oeated in power, their
i
first grand measure, was tac passage
through congress, of a national bank f
ffty millions capital, which was arrested
in consequence of the death of General
Harrison. Had he lived through his
term, the nation would have experienced
all the evils of federal policy a United
States bank, paper expansion, high pro
tective tariff, government money in banks,
distrib'ition of the proceeds of public lands,
a widely extended system cf internal im
provements by the general government, a
period of feverish hot-bed prosperity and
the wound up by a crash, more ruinous
and destructive, than that of 1837.
"Power and reform" formed the next
federal shout. They said great extrava
gance and corruption were practiced in the
management of the public works, and
reform was loudly demanded. Accident
again aided their efforts and Mr. Power
was elected. Thus was another honest
federalist placed in the board of canal com-!
missioners, whose supporters promised

federal "Power and reform!" Let not !
the federalists say in excuse, that he was j
but a minority of the board. 1 he lederal
organ, the Telegraph, said he acted in
harmony with Mr. liurns, thus proving
that Mr. Utirns joined him in his rejorms; .
and there is no doubt, had Col. Painter !
been as pliant as Mr. Burns, the same ra-
tio ot "Power and reform" would have
raised the expenditures upon the improve-j
raents this year to a million and a heilf!
But Col. Painter refused to harmonise in
federal reforms and he was denounced by
the Telegraph and the whole federal press,
and thus the people are deprived of the
benefits of the third year of "Power and
reform."
"Johnston and reform" next echoed
from the war-bugles of federalism, and the
lucky connection with Buena Vista, made
it end in another accidental victory. Fed
eralism is again on the throne, and its show
of wisdom iu the work of reform, under
its present shy head, is becoming conspic
uous. The great achievment of the first
year has been the payment of 81 13,000
of five per cent, state bonds, and the bor
rowing of $ 100,000 at an interest of six
per cent. The less achievement is the
renewal of the unconstitutional relief is
sues, and the diversion of the amount
heretofore applied to their cancellation, to
the formation of a sinking fund. The
democratic tip, in the late house of reprc-
sentatives, so effectually tied the hands of
Gov. Johnston that he dared not bring for
ward the favorite reform measure he in
troduced into the senate in 1848, to create
manu factoring corporations with authority
to issue shin-plasters. Should the feder
alists obtain a majority in the next legisla
ture, this wise measure will be put in
operation, and we -shall have another
reign of federal reform equal to the glori
ous one under Joseph Ritner!
The result of Taylor and reform''''
remains yet to be seen. No message has
been delivered no congress has been in
session no system of policy, or great ad
ministrative measures have been put forth.
Taylorism, as yet, has only been .remark
able for disregarding- pledges; universal
proscription; the

Affairs of Ireland.
In the Dublin Irishman of the 17th
inst., Mr. Gavin Duffy comes on a sec
ond article, entiled "The New Nation," in
which he suggests the formation of Na
tional Associations, which will set to and
make some practical attempt to solve with
out delay the following questions:
I. 'Whether we cannot raise capitol to
found an Irish plantation, with Irish money
and for Irishmen.
II
ow far is it possible to form oi'i"
cultural colonies in Ireland, on estates pur-
chased under the new act, or to form par-
isties mio sucn colonic.
III. What handicrafts and manufactor-1
be induced to return and purchase
mall
piu-mus unci-;
VII. Whether Irishmen could not catch
Irish fish; instead of the very coasts o!
Dublin, within a stone's throw of the
shore, being fished by Manx and English
boat?
VIII. How far the vast multitude
of
children in the workhouse, nearly ldU,UUU ;
could be taught by indenture of schools,
new trades and pursuits,
embracinsf
the
manufacture of foreign articles imported to
Ireland?
IX How an awakened public spirit in
the country can be systematically put forih ;
to help ourselves. That power has not
onty won Dames diu ieiieu lurcsis anu
drained swamps, and planted towns and
founded cities; and did these things, while
contending hand to hand witli tyranny:
believe we have never taken possession ot
lour country, and that this feat remains to
be achieved.
X. Whether the generous, sensitive
Celtic organization is not fit for some finer
task, than sweating under the negro work
of Europe and America, toiling in the gray
jacket of the -navy,' or marching in the
red jacket of the mercenary soldier.
Such are the proposals now made for
the commencement de ,tevo of agitation,
to restore Ireland to the Irish, and her Na
tional Parliament to College Green.
With regard to Mr. Duffy's scheme, he
says: If there be any shorter road to in
dependence open for a people broken and
routed as ours, I do not know it, and I
dare not pretend that I do. But I am
firmly persuaded a sure path lies through
the road 1 have indicated, if we travel it
bravely, but it must be marked as by
milestones, with work done.
Cholera continues its ravages in Dublin
and Belfast, and with alarming fatality.
Thf harvest is progressing favorably, and 4
the potato is reported to be free in all lo
calities of disease.
Strange Resuscitations.
One would suppose that the flagrant
abuses perpetrated by the federal party
under the administration of Joseph Ritner,
would have consigned to inglorious retire
ment the prominent leaders who then fig
ured before the public. But it seems that
no species of treason or corruption, which
men can practice, is bad enough to forfeit
the confidence of federalism, or bring up
on -them the condemnation of that party.
Accordingly, we find that most of the
master-spirits during an administration,
which forms the darkest page in the histo
ry of Pennsylvania, are placed in office,
or put forward to positions, showing that
they are still honored and trusted by the
federalists. Stevens is elected to Congress,
Penrose is appointed by Gen Taylor as
sistant secretary of the treasury, Burden
is a federal candidate for the legislature in
the city, William B. Reed is Gov. John
ston's deputy attorney general, T. S.
Cunningham was appointed judge by Gov.
Johnston. John Dickey was the organ of
the federal committee who received 'My
self and General Taylor at Beaver, ftlid
dleswartb is the defeated federal candidate
for canal commissioner, and thus we might
go on to the end of the chapter, and show
that all the authors of the bank bill, the
extravagant appropriations and the buck
shot war, arc itill high in the favor of
leoerausm. lut the eralaxv ol stars we
present is sufficient the group cannot be
equalled so many sicca men were never
before contemporaries. We hope the old
and middle aged will recur to memory,
and that the young will look into their
history. With a party who honor and
trust such men, public virtue and private
purity are at a discount. Keystone.
