will extend the invitation not only TO the work
ifgman. strictly SO called, but to the farmer, the
statesmsns yea, al, whoare presumed 10 be work
ingmon. and say to them all, look we, Working-
men, each one to his Oicn interest, and TO the in
terest Of your country and, doing this, all will be
WELL
Though Workingman, feel bold to think and
TO speak--and I trust rightly-and feel and know
sit q privilege which we have in this our land OF
liberty and equal rights. Let us, then. Working
men, look forward mot desParingly) TO the day,
when the evil already spoken Of by "Frankln" in
his communication, shall no longer exist--when
our rights will be no longer invaded-when the
foreigner shall not have it in his pocer to modest
us-and, sitting under our o,cn wine and fg-tree,
we shall have none to make us afraid-when
our beloved country, as in former times, when a
!, w ashington, Jefferson, Franklin, and host
OF other worthless, who have no speaking tongues
this side Of the tomb, but who have left behind
them those things which speak for them-shall
again be reinstated in her first glory, by the good
government and direction Of her own exclusive
People. But, il may be, 'Uhen these things come
to pass" the Workingman will have no cause to
appeal to his fellow-man, to fOrewarn him OF his
coming danger; and, perchance, Franklin (ike
his forerunner), together with myself will have
long since surrendered up the pen of warning for
another and than that of either
patriotism or country; but, in the meantime, it is
part Of the duty OF the good citizen while here, to
do all the good he can for his own people, and
therefore il is that unite my voice to that oi
'Frankln." and cry aloud to protect the Nation
from foreign innovations, foreign paupers, crimes

MAcKENzIE's GAzETTE.-A friend has called
our attention to an attack OH our paper in the last
number of the Gazette, from which we make the
following extract:
sCANaDA The last Sunday Morning Neics but one,
contains labored leading article. which any one Who
has perused the past numbers OF that Paper
not 10 have b the work nf tile editors We ieei assnr'
ed that il written by Charles Buer-t enters INTO
details which no American could have gwen, ana exh'
bits that spirit of hatred and contempt for human
which has characterized the base mercenary hnehngs
who conduct the federal city press in then past obssrva
tons on the Canada contest The forbes rance Oh me
mother country is Landed, and told that but for rs
rebels Canada would in "a ew years have been regarded
with love and veneration."
We have only to make one typog graphical cor
recton, and substitute " the mother country
where "Cnnada" is last used, and the version
above is fairly given. As for Charles Butler, the
accomplished secretary of Lord Durham, we can
assure the Gazette that he had no more TO do with
it than Mr.. Mackenzie himself; the article was
written by ourselves, and no one beyond ourselves
had art or part in the matter. We received not
one cent for the insertion, nor do we ever claim
any thing for our political articles beyond the
consciousness of a faithful discharge of du:y, and
an uncompromising assertion Of the freedom and
Independence of our columns. For that, there
fore, which is complimentary, although not in
tended, we return our Acknowledgements to the
Gazette, and that which is intended as sneer,
we treat with the disregard which it deserves. II
is, however, rather too bad, that rebel, W tn a
price set upon his head, should undertake 10 IN
suit the American press and the American people.
From editorial courtesy, we have abstained from
any attack on Mr.. Mackenzie, butwhen he co mes
out and begins the warfare, let him look out Our
laws mild and tolerant, but we cannot and will
not be insulted with impunty, by man who
stands in such position with his own Cove n
ment. that he is ono of the few placed beyond the
pale of mercy; and yet this man is to be permit.
ted to come here, to establish newspaper devoted
to treason and rebellion against country with
whom we are in the closest alance-to lay con-
spiracies against neighhor dwelling peacefully Y
beside US, and resting in full security on ma
tiona honor, to preserve astrictneutrality-to in
stigate our citizens to forget their duty to their
country, their honor, and their interest, for set
of discontinued Canadians, who have been treated
only with too much forbearance. Let him, how
ever, be satisfied that he overrates his ability to
do evil and that the eye of government is fastened
upon him.-Sunday Morn Neys.

The New York Correspondent of the National

The New York Correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, says:-
mackenzie, in his Gazette of to-day, bitterly
denounces you all in Washington-Government
Globe, and Intelligencer. He rather seems to
think Mr.. Van Buren, does not appreciate his
services in the Sixth Ward. By the way, the
Hartford Times and the New Hampshire Patriot
let off good deal of steam for the Canadians prior
to the reception of the Proclamation, which CON
tains good many items it will be difficult for
them now to swallow. The active interference
of Ming and Riell, with other custom-house Off
GERS in New York, led to the beliefthat 'the par
ty" was going for the Patriots" .,.....
Trouble is brewing in Quebec. The two
French Judges there have declared the act sus-
pending the habeas corpus writ illegal, and have
ordered two prisoners accused of high treason to
be discharged. A colonel of the Codstream
Guards, in whose custody they were, anticipating
the decision, removed the prisoners, and the She
riffs return was non est inuentus. warrant
was then issued to the commandant where they
were to liberate them, and afterwards to arrest
him for refusing" NJ. j..
