Since the result of the election in the great States of
New York and Pennsylvania, the whig papers are fill
ed with the most furious deun Citations of the truehear
led. unpurchasable body OF the adopted citizens Of our
country No language is 10 bitter and no slander too
vile, for the whig press to circulate 81, r-a
Among the most reckless in the despicable game is
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, which, on the 9th
inst, gives vent to the following slander:
"TRUE TO THEIR INSTINCTS. -Berks county at the
late election in Pennsylvania, gave loco majority Of
1869. The rest of the State gave small whig ma
iority Berks has alone given the vote Of Pennsyva
MIA to Polk, and perhaps insured his election Why
should il not be so? Berks is settled principally by the
defendants ofhose Hessians who were bought by Geo.
ILL., ofthe Prince Of Hesse like cattle, at Gia head to
crush American independence during the revolutionary
war; What is more natural than that the descendants
OF those men should vote to make James X. Polk the
grandson Of a British tory, President Of tie United
Staiesp a..
What shall people thing of The character Of the whis
press when we state that the Germans of Berks coun
yare American born, and are as much entit tied to the
name ofnative as any native ofNew York Philadel-
phia Brooklyn? Berks is one of the Oldest settled
counties in Pennsylvania. The German Luiherans
went there before the revolution. Gordon, in his his
tory ofPenpsylv0niG, thus speaks of the Dutch and
Germans, who settled in the then "back counties" Of
Berks and Northampton:
THE Dutch ard German Calvanists and Irish Pres
byterians who settsd in the back counties Of ofPennsy
vana were distinguished by courage perseverance
in maintoniDgther religious tenets and In defending
cher possessions against the Indians" and he finally and
most emphatically adds that ''THBYwERE ARDENT wHros
OF THE REVOLUTION" It is the descendants of such
patriots whom the Buffalo Commercial sigmatizes as
Hessians. If the editor had read history right he
would have learnediha the Hessians who were con-
quered at Trenten and Monmouth settled in New Jer-
perhaps he may have forgotten that Stale has
iustcasl her vote for Clay and Frelinghuysen:
