This, we believe, is equally true of the ma
tiOnal administration, as by authentic stats
ties itappears that out of four thousand three
hundred and three office holders in the employ
of tae general government IN the various de-
partments at Washington, and acting as mi
nlsters plenip0tentiary and consuls. and in the
custom houses, Sc, in the several states there
are but four hundred and one offoreign birth,
being but nine and three-tenths per cent, of
the whole number The white population of
the United States, by the census of 1850,
which we take for illustration, was twenty-oue
millions seven hundred and ninety three thou
sand six hundred and three OF this number
two millions two hundred and forty thousand
five hundred and thirty-fve were foreign born,
being ten and two-tenths per cent the who
le white population.
Out of one hundred and fifty-two appoint
ments in the custom houses of PENNSYLVANIA
but eighteen are of foreign birth, being but
seven per cent of all the appointments.
The whole white population ofPennsylyan-
ia amounted, by the same census, to two mil
lions two hundred and fifty-eight thousand
one hundred and sixty. Ofthis number, three
hundred and three thousand one hundred and
five were of foreign birth, being thirteen and
twO-tenths per cent.
So that according to 4 mathematical calcul-
alton it is shown that our adopted citizens
have not received that proportion of the offic-
es either in state or nation, to which they
are entitled by their numerical strength.
In conclusion, fellow-citizens, We must ask
you to guard against the devices Of an artful
and unscrupulous enemy. Do not be mised
This horror of foreigners, and this sectarian
clamor are to get votes. 1t is one of the
means. as the most available for the time be-
ing, which the leaders adopt to deceive the
honest masses.
Let Gov. Bigler and his administration
stand on their own merits Look at these,
and having done this, you cannot fail to rally
to his support and to that of the whole ticket
presented for your consideration and apprval

Talking out Boldly.

The Lion hearted Democracy of Clarion
county are preparing with zeal and earnestness
for the coming contest. They are detornin-
ed TO administer 10 the fag ends Of all factions
now opposing US, such a rebuke as will long
be remembered The Editor of the Clarion
Democrat, who is thoroughly acquainted with
the tone and tendency of public sentiment in
that country, who makes his calculations with
great care and circumspection, and is rarely
deceived as to the popular vote, says:
we are sincere in what we say and we
predict thai Gov. Bigler win have the major
ity given to Judge Knox, which was l4Zt.
We give this as our count, provided the vote
is as large as It was last fall, and we havo
good reason to believe that it will be much
increased, and in proportion to 'he increase,
we add TO the Democratic majority"
4 large portion of the population of Clarion
county consists of men whose fathers, too
thoroughly imbued with the principles of re-
pubicanism to live beneath the sway Of the
tyrannical governments of Europe, crossed
the wide and stormy Atlantic TO make their
homes here, where the hand of welcome was
extcnded-where equal rights were guaran-
teed to every man who became citizen in

The doctrines of Nothingism, to
which the Wing party now look for success a
gainst the Democratic party, would prescribe
all such men, both the elnigrants and their
descendants, would declare them unfit to fill
any position ofpublic responsibility and would
mark them out as objects of distrust and sus-
picion 10 their fellow citizens. For this rea-
sons the Whig party, at the coming election,
will receive terrible seourging in Clarion
county, and we are confident that the majority
for Bigler there will not be less than 1900.
