"THE GREEN TREE."

The following is given as a sample of the wisdom, candour and moderation we are to expect in the Executive Communications in Pennsylvania. It is an answer of Judge M'Kean, the Governor elect of that State, to an address presented him on his elevation, by a Committee of the Loganites, Israelites, and Wild Irish of Philadelphia :—

"GENTLEMEN,

"An address from the republican citizens of the city and county of Philadelphia, on my election to the chief magistracy of the state of Pennsylvania, afford me very sincere pleasure I thank you most cordially for your favorable opinion and kind expressions of me, and trust you entertain a well founded hope, that under my administration, our present happy system of Government, raised on the authority of the people only, will by the favor of God, be continued inviolate ;—and that neither foreign nor domestic enemies, neither intrigue, menace nor seduction Shall prevail against it. The open arts and secret practices of its enemies have been completely excited and exhausted in the late election. Traitors, Refugees, Tories, French aristocrats, British agents, and British subjects, and their corrupt dependants, together with not a few apostate whigs, all combined against your candidate ; the most abominable lies were propagated and nothing omitted that could arrest a vote ; and what is strange, but true, all the officers and expectants of office under the President of the United States, not only in Pennsylvania, but in the neighbouring states, joined in the coalition, with very few exceptions.

THO'S M'KEAN."
After this, can Judge M'Kean, Governor M' Kean, or Mrs. M'Kean's husband, expect to be treated with politeness, respect, or even common civility ?

M'Kean thinks it strange, that all the Federal Officers in Pennsylvania, should vote against him :the world would have thought it more strange if they had sacrificed a vote for such a candidate

Commentary on M' KEAN's Answer.

[From Philadelphia, Nov. 7.]

A few evenings since, as Charles Heatley, Esq. and Mr. Nicholas Holydays, were returning from town to their residences on Masters' estate, they were way laid and assaulted by a gang of United Irishmen and other partisans of M'Kean. The former gentleman was cruelly beaten, and the latter narrowly escaped with his life. One of the villains concerned in the commission of this outrage has been apprehended.

Two democratic ruffians lately seized on and assaulted an English gentleman who resides near the Falls of Schuylkill. They have both been prosecuted and bound over.

A gang of United Irishmen to the number of forty, principally labourers in the neighboring quarries lately attacked with clubs and bludgeons, body of militia, assembled at a regimental parade in Delaware county. and beat and maimed a number of the soldiers. It is a laughable circumstance, that the persons who suffered most severely in this affray, from the violence of the assailants happened to be men of the same kidney.
