The J0hnstCWn News.

The Printers of the News still whine be-
cause DR.. Smit h did not GO 20 Mexico with
the volunteers from this county. They have
suddenly became very patriotic, and we have
doubt before the campaign is over will
claim for themselves and the whig party in
general all the credit for the successful prose.
cution and termination of the Mexican war.
The Hon orable John Fenlon must notwith-
stanoing be hero and not 10 be compared to a
democrat like DR.. Smith. 1t was honorable in
the estimation of the News" for Mr.. Fenfon
who had never been attached to the Cambri a
Guards previous to the breaking out of the war
to then u0luR teer his services expressly for the
occasion, and who '.Guaked out" when the or.
ders for marching arrived but il was all wrong
that DR.. Smith did not 60 to Mexico because
he had been officer of the company, but at
that time was not in any manner connected
with it. The Guards were perfectly well
acquainted wi ith all the circumstances attend
ing the filing of the ranks of the compan v
previons TO leaving the county, and with the
exertions of Dr.. Smith and many other gentle
men who had all been old members of the com
pany, nd who had sufficient patriotism to aid
in their departure after their services were ac
cepted by the Government. they were salts
fed with the course pursued by these gentle
men, and ali the efforts o f the News to single
out DR.. Smith for attack with the hope of ma
king a little political capital out of it will avail
them but little.
The article repuhlished by them from the
Democratic Courier Of January lS47 and writ
ten by Maj Mcguire, is commented upon, with
ihe hope of reviving old quarrels, and aiding
thereby the desperate fortunes of Whiggery ii
this county at the ensuing election This is
done too notwithstanding they knew that Ma.
jor Mcguire through the "Transcript" had ac
knowledged ''he had acted hastily in publish
ing that artice-tnat he did DR.. Smith injus-
tice." But assure the pri nters of the
| News that their desire to stir up difficulties r
the ranks of the democracy cannot be gratified
and that at the ensuing election they may ex
pect tho whole whig ticket to receive a rea
Mexican defeat; however much they may nov
vapour and buster about patriotism, or how
much ink they may spill in the contest.

that the gathering together of crowds of

The Republican concludes: Here the ''se-

Gen. TAYLOR In Baltimore.

Gsa. Taylor's reception in Baltimore on
Thursday last appears to have been very cool
ono There were only about $50 persons as
sembled at the Railroad depot to receive HIM
His name seems to have lost its charm and its
influence, and is now incapable of producing
any enthusiasm in the crest fallen ranks OF
whiggery. The Baltimore Republican says in
speaking of his reception:-''In the course of
ffteen or twenty minutes, about $50 persons
assembled in front of the Hotel. and His Ex-
oelency having in the meantime refresh ed
himself, came down under the escort OF u.
Collins Lee, Esq, and addressed the meagre
gathering from the portico. After taking OF

Plank Roads.

The construction of Plank Roads is excitn q
considerable attention in many portions of our
State, and during The last session of the Legis.
lature several companies were incorporated for
their const ruction, particularly in our northern
counties. These roads exceedingly popu.
lar in the State of Now York, and in many of
the Western States, where they have been
tried, and found to be not only profitable, but
adding m uch to The business facilities of the
country in which they are located. We wish
to call the attention of our citizens to this sub
iec., and feel satisfied that in this county where
lumber is so abundant aud could bs furnished
of these roads would not be SO very great
whilst they would add much to tho improve
ment and settlement of the county. The
FARMER, MECHANIC, MERcHANr. and indeed all
classes are interested in their construction, as
nothing much contribut es 10 their prosper
ity, or to promote trade as good roads. If we
had good roads to this place by which the
FARMER and LUMBERMAN could at all periods OF
the year haul his produce for sale, how much
they would not only be benefited but add to
the prosperity OF the MERCHANTS and MEcHAN.

W ouid still be rendered more prosperous, and

The construction of good Plank Road from
this place to the Cherry Tree, would we think
not only pay well, but add much to the bust
ness of our Borough. An immense amount Of
lumber is annually haule ID to this place from

PROCL AVIATION.

There is reason to believe that an Arm
ed Expedition is about TO be fitted out in
the United States with an intention to in
wade the Island of Cuba, or some of the
provinces of Mexico.
The best information which the Exec
utive has been able to obtain point to the
Island of Cuba as the object of the expe-
ditlon.
1t is the duty of the Government to OBJ
serve the faith of treaties, and to prevent
any aggression by our citizens upon the
territories of friendly nations, and | have
therefore thought it necessary and proper
to issue this proclamation to warn all citi
zens of the United States who shall con-
meet themselves with an enter prise so
grossly in violation of our laws and our
treaty obligations, that they will thereby
subject themselves to the heavy penalties
denounced against them by our Acts Of
Congress, and will forfeit their claim 10
the protection of our Government. No
such persons must expect the interference
of the Government in any form In their
behalf-no matter to what extent they
may be reduced in consequence of their
conduct.
| An enterprize to invade the territory of
friendly nation, set on foot and prosecu-
ted within the limits of the United States,
is in the highest degree criminal, as tend
ing to endanger the peace and compromise
the honor of this nation, and therefore
expect all good citizens, as they reg ard
our national reputation, as they respect
their own laws and the laws of nations,
as they value the blessings of peace and
the welfare of their country, to discourage
and prevent by all lawful means any such
enterprise, and | call upon every officer OF
this Government, civil or military, to use
all efforts in their power to arrest for trial
and punishment every such offender
against the laws providing for the erfor-
mances of our sacred obligations to friend.

J. NJ. CLAYTON, Secretary of State,

The Republic says, the above procla-
nation was received yesterday at the De-
partment of State, in a communication
from the President at Harrisburg
Information has been for some time in
possession of the Government to the effect
that bodies of men were in the course of
being levied and drilled in New Orleans,
New York, and other cities of the Union,
and that money to considerable amount
has been contributed, that arms have been
provided, and arrangements made on a
large scale, with view to some military
expedition.
Their movements have been conducted
with great secrecy, and the object of the
Enterprise has been concealed even from
the individuals who have embarked in it;
sufficient evidence, however, has been OBJ
tanned to satisfy the President that the de-
sign of the expedition is an invasion of
Cuba, and that the Intervention of the Ex-
Iecutive was necessary to preserve our neu-
tral obligations, and to keep unsullied the
honor of the American people.
