G. W, Featherstonaugh, an Fnglish xlveniurer, says the Reading Jefferson De¬ mocrat, who, after spending thirty years of his life among us, and repaid our hospita¬ lity in the coin of vulgar abuse, expresses ihe warmest sympathy for Henry Clay, in his recent book on the United States. Mr, Ffa'herslonatigh denounces our "Republi¬ can form of Government, as a beacon to %varn all future generations;" he traces our 'Ulegeneracif to the "fatal principle of universal suffrage'^' and he styles Tho- J1A8 Jefferson the "evil spirit," to whom we owe the abolishing of entails and of an established Church. Mr. Featherstonaugh thinks that we owe, too, to Thomas JefTer- eon the destruction of o-ooc/ society, which, before the revolution, was "upon an excel¬ lent fooling, the upper classes being distin¬ guished from the others, as much as in any other country." Pennsylvania, of course, shares latgely in Mr. Feaiherstonaugh's obloquy. Our honest German population are the special objects of his sneers. He Bays:—"The dishonorable conduct of Penn¬ sylvania, in relation to the nonpayment of it? debts, is fairly attributable to the Ger
MANS."
By the side of this vituperation of Ame¬ rican instl lotions is found the highest praise of Henry Clay. Mr. Feailierstonaugh,tells us that "the whole civilized woild is con¬ cerned in Henry Clay's success," and he hopes that "the people turning a deaf ear to selfish demagogues, will consent to re¬ ceive Clay's services, if even it be but for one Presidential term.*"' After this mani¬ festation of the British Aristocracy, '.he "mannerless Democrats" of Amtiica, (for so Featherstonaugh styles us,) will feel bound 10 obey instructions. Clay is now sure of Pennsylvania; the GER'^!ANg will receive Feaiherstonaugh's rebuke with be¬ coming meekness, and vvill endeavor in fu¬ ture to deserve his good opinion.

The other individual to whom we refer, is James Burns, Esq., a man qualified in every sense of the word to repiesent our county in the state legislature. In the rep¬ resentation of our county in the legislature, we are more immediately concerned, and it becomes us, in cho.sing a candidate to fill this ofTice, to deliberate with caution and to act with decision, to select a man who, in¬ stead of eneiting a deleterious influence over the eleetion of the remainder of the democratic ticket, would bear with him the general   democracy   of   our county.    And
cal existence shall we not commence a new ira of good feeling in Pennsylvania ? ShaHwe not bury in oblivion those unhap¬ py dsaensions which have heretofore exist¬ ed, nd march to victory as a band of bro- thes? For myself, it is sufficient for me to .now that a democrat wdl support Polk, D/las, and Muhlenberg, and I sliall then eaend the right hand of political friend- sip. The present is not a moment for rembers of the pariy to obtrude their pri- ate giiels, if they have any, upon tiie pub¬ ic, or to indulge in crimination or re-crim-
where in all the democratic parly could we Inalion agaitist each other.

Genls.— While oilitrs are preferi£ their favorites as candidates, we ask a /ace in your columns to present to the dcjocracy of old Miillin a candidate, in ever;respect worthy of their suiFrages. Aliough a young man, Mr. WH.LIAM D. JcVEY has few superiors in point of inl^ect and sound judgment. Mr. McVey so well known, that a more exlended noye of him would be superfluous, and we wo^'iU only add, that we hope the County (invention fi'xW selec\ him as the candidat#)f the de¬ mocratic party to represent oui/county in tiie next Legislature.

For the Republican. Messrs. Eisenbise & Walters:—I ob¬ serve that I have been proposed among se. vcral others as the democratic candidate to represent this dislric.l in the next Congress. That there may be no embarras.-ment in the selection of one, arising from this cause, I take the earliest opportunity to withdraw mv name from a contest in   whicli,   under any circumstances, I cannot engnge.

Information for the Shoemakers.
Theodore Frelinghuysen, late of New Jersey, says jihe New York Plebian, once rendered Ids name memorable amonj the shoemakers of Newark ; and for his kind¬ ness to them and their faindiea ihey owe him an especial regard. It appears ihat the shoemakers of Newark, who were ground down by their losses to less ihan living pri¬ ces for their work, made a strike and turn¬ ed out in procession. Tiicodore Freling¬ huysen, then counsellor of Law, volunteer¬ ed against them and tried hard to convict them criminally of being rioters and con¬ spirators. This kindly act of his is so well remembered that even the most vio¬ lent 'wliigs.' who are shoemakers, will not support him at the coming election. If the Newark Morning Post will please to en¬ quire a little into this afl'air, we shall be able to give more details in relation to this ini¬ quitous conduct against the poor mechanics of Newark. What cares he, or any oiher silk-stocking arislociat, for the comfort or well being of mechanics ? It is the inter¬ est of yovir lordly "manulacturer" only that he will consent to look after. The op- erativc, the working mechanic, he con¬ demns altogether. With Theodore Fre- lingluiyif-en, there isjji vast diflference be¬ tween the manufacturer and the mechanic. 'J"he races, in his psiimation, are widely difl^erent. He will fall on his knees and worship the lord of the loom, while he will turn up his nose at the humble mechanic or workingman. 'I'liis is tiie man, however, who is to sanctify the acts of Henry Clay; it IS he who i» to act the part of ihe lump of fuller's earth. to take the grease spoi.n out of him; it ie he who is to be the chlo¬ ride of lime to ntuiralize the ancient and fish-like smell that hangs about his charac¬ ter. Faugh! the odor of this precious pair of Federalists is intolerable.

Jackson and Polk.
We have from time to time, published complimentary remarks upon the high cha¬ racter and qualifications of our disiinguioh- ed candidate for the Presidency, but the following comes with mighty efTect from the Hermitage, who seems to have an intu¬ itive knowledge of character, and "knows all qualities with a learned spirit of human dealing." It is the conclusion of a long leUer to Mr. Jones, of Udca, New Yoik :
"Mr. Hoik was raised near me. He has performed his duty in every public station that he has tilled, and he has filled many, requiring great talents and consummate tact of judgment. On all the great questions, from the Panama mission to the piesent day, he h«s been consistent, orthodox, and true to tlie standard of old fashioned Jef- fersonian Democracy. In his private life no man has been more fortunate in ihe practice of every virtue. Without a speck on his moral character, he can defy the slanderer, aud rest secure in the good es¬ teem of all who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance, whether friends or foes in politics,"
Col. R. M. Johnson and   Polk.
This veteran democrat has recently writ¬ ten a letter to the editor of the Keniucy Yeoman, in reply to one addressed to him on private business. The following brief extract from the letter cf Col. Johnson, shows that he still feels the same devotion to the cause of popular rights, which has been so prominent a characteristic of his whole life, and that he is deeply anxious for the success of the Democratic nominees for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. He says:
"I cannot be separated from my friends in the political contest going on, and no one will more cheerfully and more cordially vote for and sustain and support the nominees of the Democratic Convention held at Baltimore 27th May. 1 have known Col. Polk and Mr. Dallas as prominent members of the Democratic party while they were members of Congress, and ever since ; and it will give me pleasure to do all 1 can to promote them to the oiTices of President and Vice President, for which they have been nominated by the democra¬ tic party, and I hope every friend I have will do tlie same."

The inn where Richard III. abode ring his brief abode at Leicesler, even the very bed on which he there reposed, are not exempt from the tales of horror which are associated wiih the memory of this priiice. On his departure for Bosworth it appears from the result that he must have left nsany articles of \alue, either too cum¬ bersome to be removed, or in themselves ill soiled for a temporary encampment, ai th* house of entertjinmeni where he had been abiding, and which as beiui^ the chief hosllery in Leicester, was distinguished by the appellation of Hiehard's badge, "the Silvery P»oar;" but on his defeat and desih and the dispersion of his followers, the vic¬ torious armv, with the inl'uriaied rage which in all ages accompmies any popvi'ar ex citemen!, compelled the owner of the inn to pull down tlie eintdcm of ihe deceased king, and substitute the blue f<:r the white boar. The apartments which the king had occupied were pillaged and ransacked, and the hangings of the richely carved bed on which he had slept during his stay in the town were torn ofl", and either carried away with other portable artiolts, or were de¬ stroyed on llie spot, 'I'he bedstead, how¬ ever, being large and heav)', and appi'reiilly of no grent value, was sull'ered to remain undisturbed with the people of the house; thenireforih continuing a standing piece of furniture, and passing fron tenant tt) te¬ nant wiih the inn; for King Richard and his Secretary being boih slain, anil all his confidential friends execuied, imprisoned or exiled, it could not be known ihat llu' weight of ihe bulky wooden Irame-worK left in his sleeping apartment atcse from its being in reality the miliiary chest of the deceased monarch. It was at once his cof¬ fer and his couch. Many years, however, rolled on before this singular fact became known, aud then it was only accidentally discovered, owing to the ciniumstance o( a piece of gold dropping on ihe floor when vhe wife of the jiropiieior was making a btd Hhich had bt;en placed upon it. On closer exumination a double bottom was j discovered, the inlennediale space between whicli was filled with gold coin to a const-] durable aiuounl.
The treasure thus mnrveliously obtained, ahhougb c;irtlnlly, coiK-ealed helped in lime to elevate the lomjble publican, "a man of low condition." to the proud sta¬ tion of cliitf magisuate of his native town. But at his d<'atli, ihe vast riches that acciu- ed to his widuw excited the cupidity of a menial Ctuinecied wiili lier esiablishment; and llie wiUul nuirdtr of their mistress, in 1613 led lo the execution of iier fetnale ser¬ vant, and o( st:ven men concerned with her in the rudiles* deed, thus adding another tragedy to the many of higher impcrt which are inseparably connected with llie recol¬ lection of this unhippy prince.
'I'he inn ititelf. rendered so remarkable as the laki abiding place of the last monarch of the middle ages, "a large, handsome, half limber hourie, wiih one »tory projec.- ing over the other," remained for upwards of three ceniuries unchiinged, an imeres - ing relic alike of the archiieciure of its pe¬ riod as of the remarkable epoch whicii ii perpetuated. But in the year 18;f0, allho' undocayed, utiiiijurt)d, and defying the ra¬ vage? of time, till* venerable fabric was ra- Zi"d to the sjround, to the regret of all who hold sacied such historical memorials, aud hallow the relics wliicii link by-gone ages wiih ihefpresent time. Its site, with the appellation of an adjoining thoroughfare to whicli it formed an angle, and which sltil retains the name uf *'Biue Boar Lane," to geiher with the description and delineation of its picturesque appearance, are now all ihal connects King Richard with this inter¬ esting memorial of his last days at Leices¬ ler, Not BO, however, the bedstead. That appendage to the inn, although three hun¬ dred and fifty years have elapsed since it was used by tlie sovereign, is still in exis¬ tence, and in the most perfect slate of pre- servatiim. Richly and curiously carved in oak, with fleur-de lys profusely scattered over it, its panels overlaid wiih black, brown and while woods, the styles consis¬ ting of Saracenic figures in high relief, it proves from the singularity of its consirnc- tion, the true purpose for which it was d«- signed, every portion of it but th'e body being fabricated to take to pieces and pul up at will; so that for travelling it speedily became transformed into a huge chest, al¬ though ingenuously framed for the twofold purpose which led to its preservation. This relic, insignificant in itself, is the only known memorial connected with the per¬ sonal history of Richard HI.

On the anniversary day of the battle of Tippecanoe, the whigs of Indiana had ad¬ vertised an immense mass convention to be held on the batUe-ground. Great prepara- tioos were made, and scarcely anything else was talked of among them for four weeks beforehand. Inconsequence, a number of democrats having been led to believe that an enormous convention would be held, the like of which never was before, out of cu¬ riosity attended it.     But when the conven-
he delivered a powerful speech in Congress Bgainst it, and liierallv demolished this new tangled scheme to plunge tlie National (Tovern-nent into a vortex of buiikrupicy. The concluding paragraphs of his speecii are bo eminenily applicable to State poli¬ cy, that we cannot refrain from lueir repub¬ lication. They, also, breathe the true Pennsylvania spirit on the taritf question : Mr. .VITjiiLi'.NnERO continued (having ex¬ amined its several details): "It would ap¬ pear, then, that the bi'l under considera tion is unnecessary. Not only this; but ii appears to me at this iime, extremely inex¬ pedient. Our first oSjecl shouhl be to pay olT the Naiio;.al Debt—then to reduce. I will not say entirely take of}", the duties on all articles which we can neither manufac¬ ture nor grow, or which no longer require proiection, that the burthens of our people may be lightened, if not entirely taken away. Burih; ned ih.^y must be, in some instances, when our annual exports amouni lo little more than fifty rndrnm of dollars, and the dtities on return cargoes to 24 mil¬ lions. The district 1 have the honor to re¬ present pays an enormous l;ixon the single article of sail—a tax, amounting to not much le.-^s that j^.10,000 per annum. Can the agiicidtural interest—the interest which should be most cherished in our country— flourish under such circums'.ances ? If we enter into the measure under discussion 1 now—if we continue to appropriate such enormous sums as we have heretofore done —both the one and the other—I mean the ( payment of the public debt, and the reduc¬ tion of unnecessary duties—will be mate¬ rially retarded, perhaps never accomplished. This road will cost, not as is estimated in the bill, two aiid-a-half—it will cost fifteen millions before we are done with it.
"And are the people of this country, for¬ ever to he taxed heavily for their tea, their coffee, their sugar, their s;dl, their spices, and other articles which have become ne¬ cessaries uf life, that the sums thus taken from ihe sweat of ilu ir brow may be squan¬ dered upon the useless, and worse than useless, projects of wild theirists I b.opf not. Let us be just before we are generous. Let us, first of all, pay our debts- Lei us reduce our duties. EXCEPV WHERE THEY \RE NECESSARY TO AID AND PltOTI<:CVr OU X DOMES. TIC INDUSIRY.

Wool growers ! bear Miis in mind; all the professions federalism can make cannot weigh against t.'ii^ record. Here wero 27 whigs voting down a proposition to add 15 per cent, to the duty on wool coNiitig T rents and under, and fifteen deiuocrats vo¬ ting for it. and none against it.

Ou the same day the Tiriif bill beiii;; under consideration. Sir. Brn'on Ucm)cral. moved to strike out 'seven' and insti:tinj 'five,' in the following item:
••On coarse wool, unmanufactured, tha value whereof, al the last pofl or plucn whence exported lo liie United States, shall be seven cents or under per pound, there shall be levied a duly of five per cent, ad- valorem."
Mr. Benton supported his anendmcni at length, the efl'ecl uf which would pracu- cally be the imposuig of a duty of '.iO per cent, and 3 cenis a pound on all wool co'»t- ing over 5 cents, instead of 7 cents, as it now stands. It was a proposition high'jr important to tlie wool grower, and was va- ted down by the ff'higs—the party whicU now professes such a tender regard for tiut interest, is follows :
