Sept. 16, '52. To our Corrospodents. 'THE PROPER AIM OF THE SCHOLAR,' by G. is accepted. "DAVY CROCKET, JR, is entirely too small to fill the old man's harness. He wont pass muster. .f.r What has become of our esteemed corespondents "T. 'W," "A Teacher," 'B,' and "It. A. M."l Have you laid by the quill, gentlemen, or merely 'cut our ac quaintance ?' We hope neither. We do not feel disposed to part company, we as sure you ; but hope you will continue your favors. Our Milnwood friend will please hear our apology for the delay of his 'criticism.' The manuscript was mislaid and could not be found in time for last week's Journal. We give it in to-day's paper, hoping the distinguished author of 'American Poetry,' will avail himself of the opportunity it af fords him for vindicating his ' , literary repu tation," and correcting the misapprehension which appears to prevail with regard to the character, and even the locality of the 'Lit erary Review' for which his celebrated ar ticle purports to have been originally writ ten. We aro not a poet; nor do we profess to be familiar with the history of Ameri can Poetry, or a judge of its merits, and therefore do not presume to decide on the merits of Mr. Swoope's production. But we do think that his reviewer is wrong in doubting the sincerity of the ' , Globe's, commendatory notices of Mr. S. and his writings; because we have good reason for believing that those commendations aro en tirely sincere, that the author of them re ally considers Mr. S. fully entitled to all the praises he bestows. New Advertisements. We would call the attention of the pub lic to the real estate, consisting of several valuable farms, some choice timber lands, and small improved lots, for sale in differ ent parts of the county. See also the Executors Notices of the Messrs. Maddens and Mr. Apgar; and the: Administrators Notice of Mr. Green. The Hunt. Mutual Insurance Company want Agents. Mr. Bricker wants Feathers in exchange for goods. Sheriff Zeigler proclaims the General Election, Mr. David Good, offers one hundred dollars reward for the recovery of a stolen horse. Why don't the California Gold come to the country/ England is overflowing with money, the bank of France is loaded down with bul lion and every steamer that leaves our shores for the old world takes, frequently more, but generally, near a million of dol lars. Still the drain of specie is not so great as it was some time ago, owing to the fact, that the commercial balances due by us to the merchants of Europe are invest ed in American stocks to a considerable extelk We are ,importing largely their manufactured articles and paying for them in specie, while our manufactories are prin cipally dead and the balance in a languish ing condition, which is fast making us sub servient to European manufacturers and store-keepers. We are not making and selling enough to pay for what we get from them, which accounts for our money taking that direction. But California is pouring in her gold upon us at the rate of twelve tons per month, which generally finds itself deposited in the large commercial cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Bal timore, and the papers from those places inform us that the money markets there are easy. Indeed, we are told, and it is an undeniable fact, that money, in those places is very abundant. Australia is yielding nearly equal to, and eventually it is supposed, will outyield California, in gold. In four years the latter has thrown upon the world one hundred and seventy four millions of dollars. The four next will far exceed this, and the produce of the former added to it, will make such a stu pendous addition to the gold circulation of the world, as to materially affect the value of all kinds of property, by greatly enhan cing: it it price. But this latter forms no part of our present subject, more than to indicate the vastness of the golden yield.— The questions which we wish to lay before our readers in this article, are—Who are getting it ? and who are likely to get it, as long as the present order of things con tinues? It is going to Europe by every steamer and none coining back. A large amount owned by Europeans is left here invested and to be invested in our stocks. For eigners own the principal part of the debt of the United States, the State of Pennsyl vania and so of other States, as also a great portion of our best railroad stocks. Money is so plenty in England, that her great bank makes loans at one and two per cent. In the present state of things she is getting more than she really wants, and hence its cheapness. That which remains at home stays in a great measure in our commercial cities, which keeps them in a good moneta ry condition. There, also, foreigners trans act their great stock operations, which give to those places the benefit of a large amount of capital, not their own. They take two or three turns out of the California gold as it comes in, while at the same time, in con junction with their British mercantile and manufacturing friends, they are tearing the vitals out of the country. What is the reason that the country is not exulting over the abundance of money, as the people in the cities are? Why do not the golden currents from California flow through the country instead of collect ing in vast metropolitan reservoirs? Is it possible that the old channels have been filled up with dirt and rubbish, and the ancient floodgates shut down? It is even so. Good farmers have frequently to borrow money to pay their taxes, while holding produce, which they dislike to sacrifice in ruinous markets, and money shavers are fat tening on the necessities of their neighbors. To borrow two thousand dollars, an individ ual must give paper well secured for twen ty-five hundred. The principal means of enticing money into this part of the coun try, is agricultural produce. The farmer is getting about usual prices for corn, oats. and rye. Stock of all kinds has improved in price, but it is by no means an exten sive business with our farmers, and there fore brings in the aggregate but little mon ey. The product which they principally rely on, is wheat. If all other products of the farm will pay the expenses of farm ing, they consider themselves doing well. They look to the wheat for their bread seed and profit, and if it commands a low price, they feel their year's work was to very little purpose. It and stock are the only articles which bring money from the east, of all that the farmer here produces. The price at which wheat has been selling for the last year, has kept thousands of bushels from market. There are three steam tanneries in this county, two of which l i have been built within the three or four last years, one of them quite recently which are valuable additions to the gener al wealth of the county. This is understood to be a good business. Besides these there is a large number of small establishments, each of which probably throws a limited amount of its manufacture upon the east ern market. There are also three or four woollen factories in the county, but we are not informed as to the extent of their con nection with the eastern cities. The lum ber trade to the east is so small that it is probably not worth mentioning. Two or three years ago there were thirteen iron furnaces in blast in this county—now there are but six, and one of them, we under ' stand, will blow out this fall. These are the main products which draw money from the golden emporiums to Huntingdon coun ty, and the principal article, wheat, is at a low figure. The seven furnaces which remain idle, is a yearly loss to the county, of at least two hundred thousand dollars. It would probably cost every cent of that to carry them on. This is the condition of things here which is probably the same throughout the state, where the circum stances aro the same. What has closed seven furnaces, depre ciated the price of wheat, and stagnated mechanical trades connected with them?— What has stopped in other parts of the country, cotton and woollen mills and thrown a sickly pallor over industrial pur suits? We answer, the tariff of 1846. England is monopolizing the manufactures of the world, and we are her principal cus tomers. We buy her goods for cash, and she will not buy our wheat for either trade or money. She knows her • own interests in the United States acid airivocititil3:7llllM fearlessly and openly. All her influential and prominet papers are out in favor of . Pierce for President, because the .pblicy of the party which he represents, Is more favorable to British trade than the Whig policy. The cotton lords, who rule democ racy, are intimately allied with British tradesmen and manufacturers, and the rank.and file are sold to the tories with out knowing it. But how shall we bring money into the country from the overgorged cities and from overgorged Europe? Establish a properly adjusted protective tariff, which will start our seven idle furnaces, and thereby bring kilo this county nearly, if not altogether two hundred thousand dol lars yearly more than we now receive. In other parts of the country other kinds of business will start up into joyous life. All the products of the farm will then be in active request. Money cannot be brought into the country without some valuable thing in return. Build up an active coun try busines, and don't let city merchants and British tradesmen suck your blood and steal your substance. Then California gold will flow into every valley and glitter on every hill-side. While the present laws of trade continue, foreigners and our own commercial cities will bo in possession of all the money, while money shaveis will hover like vultures around your decaying business. Sugar Candy Politics. We observe that John Scott, Esq., has announced himself as the Locofoco candi date for the legislature. He comes out as sweet and mild as syrup molasses, in a lit tle short letter of four sentences. He is almost afraid to say, that he knew his name was in the paper the week before.— He concludes with the following: "Since the announcement has been made, members of both political parties have urged me to permit my name to be used as a candidate. I have so far yield ed to their wishes as to say, that I will not solicit support, but if elected, will concent to serve." He intimates that Whigs are in his sup port, and fancies that he is riding the wave of popular favor. No true Whig, who loves the great plmciples which be profess es, could have urged to come out as a candidate, a man, who has so frequently and in such unmeasured terms denounced him And them. Any Whig; who may have urged him to be a candidate, is some one, who is not entitled to the confidence of the party, and is probably one, who, by the favor of the Whig party, is able to live through the balance of his unrighteous ex istence, without work. The candidate does not say that he is a Locofoco, bound, if elected, to denounce every improvement of the age, calculated to benefit the country. He does not say that he is an uncompro mising enemy of the great, living princi ples, which a Whig cherishes as the “ap ple of his eye," He does not say that he is connected with a band of trading politi cians along the Pennsylvania canal, who are devouring the substance of the people of the commonwealth. He does not say that he is a believer in the snapping-turtle platform established at Baltimore, by• his fellow locofocos, and by which the party is butting its brains out, against all the life giving principles of the time. He does not say that he is a bitter enemy of his namesake, Gen. Scott, who waded through British blood at Lundy's Lane, and led a conquering and victorious army through the torrid heats, mountain gorges and table lands of Mexico, to her gaudy and sump tuous capitol. The Whig party elect men to carry out Whig measures—and they generally call upon Whigs to perform the service. We hope the Whig party will be awake, and not permit the gentleman (against whom as a private man, we have nothing to say) to sneak into an important office under the false guise of ano party man. He is a violent party man and would never snuff at anything bordering on a Whig principle. For the Journal MR. EDITOR :- While casually glancing over the editorial of a late number (Aug. 18th) of the "Globe," my attention was di rected to an article from the "Literary Re view" by your "talented young townsman," H. Bucher Swoope. In view of the inor dinate and, I think, unmerited praise be stowed on it by the editor of the "Globe" which is calculated to pervert and vitiate the style of young writers, we would ask the use of your columns in our attempt to set forth the true merit and real worth of the production styled "American Poetry." The editor of the "Globe" is undoubted ly, intentionally or otherwise, hoodwinking and misleading Mr. Swoope, by predicting for him "an elevated position among Amer ican authors, and a wide, spread literar y } reputation," upon the strength of an arti cle whosege‘ly merit seems to be in loosing sight of the text. Mr. Swoope heads his article "American Poetry" and then starts 'out with a glance at the literature of Greece and Rome, followed up by that. never ending theme of our school-boys and demagogues, the history, scenery, and I was going to say politics of our country, but - I find lie has accidently left that out.' Now the author of this celebrated literary effort which has been so ostentatiously set forth as taken from the "Literary Review," has never once touched his subject, "Amer ican Poetry." He tells us nothing of its origin and progress—he has not presented us with a single American poet, male or female, in connection with their poetry— l he has not condescended in his famed dis sertation, to inform us in what species of poetical composition America excels— whether in pattoral, lyric, didactic, descrip tive, epic or dramatic. No, nor does he go so far as even to attempt (what certain ly we might have expected) to establish and fortify American genius in that proud position from which English authors have dared attempt to drag her. In short, he has not even casually alluded either to American poets or poetry. Will the edi tor of the "Globe" be pleased to point out that "beautiful and withering refutation of the inuendoes and insinuations so frequent ly thrown out by foreign Reviews, 'alluded to by the "Literary Review") for we must confess that after a very careful perusal we are unable to find it in Mr. Swoope's "American Poetry." His subject would bear a more legitimate title by omiting the word poetry, and leaving it simply Amer ica. But were we so disposed or thought it worth the labor, we might criticise it un der any title. In the very outset Mr. Swoope and Dr. Blair seem to differ in re gard to the nationality of Greek literature: nor indeed can we see how he I Mr. Swoope) can show that IT is truly a national litera ture any more than that of any other na tion, unless by denying the Mosaic record that all nations of the earth were originally of one language and speech, which would involve a denial of the doctrine of the or iginal unity of the race of man which un derlies and pervades the whole system of revealed truth. But as our aim was mere ly to show that the essay was not on "American Poetry," but something else, perhaps the "elements of poetical excite ment in America," we will only add a sug gestion for Mr. Swoope, and that is, that he listen no longer to the flattery of the "Globe," but turn his attention to the stu dy of good authors, especially "Dryden's essay on dramatic poetry," and ponder well the teachings of the great Roman crit ic, , curain verbormn, verum volo•esse so licitudinem." Fiat justitia et plus uihil, Milnwood. HIGHLY INTERESTING—the Exhibition at the Court House last evening. Every body should attend to-night. Right Rev. Bishop Potter will preach in St. John's E. Church on the 2lst inst. it Our friend JOHN K. M'CAHAN, authorizes us to withdraw his name as a candidate for the legislature. lie is an uncompromising Whig and will not lend himself to further the election of a Loco foco, to the Legislature. He has too keen a perception of the monstrous and destruc trive doctrines of locofocoism, and its or ganized attempt to break down the indus try of the country, to be found in such company. 1:r- A correspondent from West Barree informs us, that it is a mistake that the firm of Huyett & Neff is in favor of letting geese run at large—they are not so green, if elected to the legislature.
