Pbnnsylvnnia and the Fugitive-Slave |
The Southern States have really no. cause I
to: complain of the conduct .of Pennsylvania
In reference to the onforeeuient Of that .provi
sion of tbo Constitution which relates to the
rendition of fugitives from justlce and labor.
The remaining section! of tbe act of 1847-
now so much discussed—were regarded in
1851-52 by all conservative men as harmless,
and the Tepeal of the sixth section of the act
ol 1847—which denied the use of our jails to
thfe officers of the Federal. Government under
-the amendatory act of Congress of 1850, a
part of the "Compromise measures—was ac
cepted aa satisfactory by the Southern people.
James Buchanan was the leader of the De
mocratic .party of Pennsylvania in 1861. He
had been living in retirement at Wheatland for
several years. . Having completed his term of
Secretary of State under the Administration
of, President Polk, on the 4th of March, 1849,
he was' looking forward to' the Democratic
nomination for President in 1852, in the hope
that the dream ol his life was on the eve of a
brilliant fulfilment; bat to effect this object the
Southern Democracy must be propitiated.
He was among the first to move in favor of
the repeal of the offensive sixth section of tbe
act of 1847. Col. Bigler having supported
that' act daring the'WUmot Proviso excite
ment as a State Senator in 1847, and being
In 1851 the Democratic candidate for Go
vernor, Jahis Buchanan (then his enemy,
now his friend) insisted, as a sine qua non,
that Col. Bigler should take ground in favor
of the repeal of the offensive Bection of that
law, to which Col. B. assented.
The writer of this article was, at the time,
tbe editor of the acknowledged organ of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania. Always
devotedly. attached to Southern institutions,
and to Southern interpretations of the Con
stitution of the United States, he repeated
Mr. Buchanan's views in the columns of his
journal. He -was a delegate, from Philadel
phia, at the Reading Democratic Convention
of June, 1861, which nominated Col. Bigler
for Governor, by a unanimous vote, and parti
cipated with some activity in the succeeding
campaign. After the election, Col. Bigler
acted in good faith to his pledge, and cor
dially repented of his vote In favor of the act
of 1847, by aiding in tbe repeal of the sixth
section, and by signing the bill which repealed
it. The Democratic Convention which placed
Governor Bigler in nomination, on the 4th
of Jane, 1851, adopted the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That the sixth section of the act of
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, passed on the
3d of March, 1847, dsnying under severe penalty
the nse of our State jails for tbe detention of fugi
tive 'sieves while awaiting their trial, ought to be
expunged from our itfttute-books, both beeause It
interposes obstaolei by means of State legislation
to the execution of the provisions of the Constitu
tion of the United States, and because it is a vir
tual disregard of tbe principles ofthe Compromise,
and is calculated seriously to endenger tho exist
ence of the Union:
It shows that the sixth section of the act of
1847 was the only one regarded as offensive
to the South at that time.' The then leading
organ of the Democracy, the Pennsylvanian, of
June 20th of the same year, referring to the
above resolution, said:
sc The resolution taking this ground in the
Democratic Convehtion was passed with bnt
oa«dissenting voice. It is tbe opinion of the
Democratic party of the State almost without
objection. It is the opinion of a vast ma
jority of the Whig party.”
The Democratic Convention which assem
bled at Harrisburg, on the 4th of March, 1852,
and nominated James Buchanan for the
Presidency, repeated the resolution of the
Reading Convehtion in the following terms:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsylvania
will , maintain with fidelity and energy tbe exe
cution of tbo fagitive-ilivo law; and that we
pledge onreeive! to'exert onr but efforts to seoure
tbe speedy repeal ofstfoh portions of tbe “Btate
obetrnotionlaw” as deny tbe nee of onr jails for the
detention of fugitives from labor, while awaiting
their trial, or in any otter manner interfering with
the eoneUtatlonal rights of oltieens of onr sister
States in reclaiming their property.
We mention these facts to show that those
whs complain ofthe present position of Penn
sylvania in regard to the fugitive-slave law
have no reason for their complaints. After
the death of Hr. Gobsuoh, at Christiana,
Lancaster county, who went there for the pur
pose of recovering his fugitive slave, the ex-
any demand made upon ns by the South would -
have been favorably responded to. The repeal
of the objectionable portion ofthe State law was
nndoxbtedly In accordance with Southern
.expectation. . It, does not lie, therefore, in the ;
mouths of any of those who applauded our'
Legislature, particularly on tie part of that
new friends of the old President, to hold up!
the act of 1847 as an evidence that the Keyi
stone State is opposed to the institutions o<
the Sonth.
Tax Douglas Democrats of Maryland are a
plucky and independent set. They have just
issued an address in which they assert tho fol
lowing unpleasant truths. In the five border
States 'of the South—Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri,'Delaware, and Mary land—the conser
vative Union vote cast for Douglas and Bell
together exceeds the Tote for BaiCKisuniaE
136,000, or more than two to one, and will be
still further increased by the full returns.
While Breckinridge hag carried bnt three
Southern States, by a majority of votes so
small as to deny the popularity of the princi
ple he represents, even at the extreme South;
on the other hand, Douglas has received in
many Southern cities and towns, where the
Democracy has not hitherto prevailed, large
majorities over the candidate of the Seceders.

Commodore Beset, of the steamship Co
lumbia, tunning between New York and
Charleston, has received the compliment of
a public dinner because he raised the colors
of South Carolina at the mast-head of his ship
In the port of New York. The Commodore
steamed out of Charleston on Saturday, the
19th inst., with the Palmetto flag at his mast
head, and when off Governor’s Island canned
the stars and stripes to be removed from the
stern color staff of his vessel, and substituted
a new piece of bunting showing fifteen while
stare upon a vermilion ground. Commodore
Bxxbt deserves the thanks of the enemies of
his country.
Robert Baxrwxll Bhitt, who disappeared
from the Senate of the United States because
the South submitted to the admission of Cali
fornia into tho Union, in 1850, came forth in
all his glory before the people ol Charleston,
ob the 12th of November, and relieved himself
of a characteristic harangue. We print, on
onr first page, the last column of the speech
of this great leader of the Disunionists of the
South.
' Among the most active agents in stimulating
the elements of revolution in the South are
those who are anxious to establish medical
colleges at New Orleans, Charleston, and
Bichmond. It is stated, on the other hand,
that notwithstanding the attempts to effect
non-Intercourse between the North and tho
South, everyday adds to the nnmber of scho
lars at the different female seminaries in the
free States. These two lacts are suggestive.
Wx print an important editorial, from Jons
Fobbyth’s Mobile Register, of a recent date.
Forsyth Is a Douglas, and was a Union man,
and we believe he will continue to he found
true to the last. It is disheartening to see an
editor, fearless as Forsyth Is, compelled to
yield to a local fanaticism. We had hoped
better things from Mobile.
The artioli in a Springfield (111.) journal,
of a late date; In which that paper (supposed
to be speaking for Hr. Lwooln) intimates
the determination of the President elect to
preserve the Union at all hazards—should an
overt act be committed—has created much
angry comment on the part of the extreme
Southern men.
Tm Breckinridge papers in the free States
are the echoes of the disunion sentiment in
the slave States. .They repeat ail the ex
cesses-of the Charleston Mercury, all the
thapsbdlei. of. Tooatßs, and all the threats of
Colonel Yasoxt—and. call these Southern

It is supremo folly for Administration
papers to attack Hannibal Hamlin, tho newly
elected Vice Prosidontof the United States.
Wo perceivo that even Mr. Yancey has de
scended to the point of saying that Mr, Ham
lin is a mulatto. Mr. Yanoey and the Ad
ministration papers should remember that Mr.
Hamlin never was called a mulatto ‘ until he
became a Republican. Onr own knowledge
and estimate of tho man is that he is an up
right, fearless, and conscientious statesman.
Ho conld never have won his way in the
Democratic party first, and in the Republican
party second, without being a person of very
considerable abilities. ....
We no NOT wonder at extreme's in polities
in this country. The Secessionists in the
South revile tbe Republicans In the North,
and crimination is answered by recrimina
tion. The people preaoh for tho
Union, and the South Carolina politicians
repudiate it. Tho Governor of Virginia de
mands moderate action, and the Governor
oi South Carolina insists npon immediate
action, Bnt beneath oil these tempestuous
waves of attack and retort, there is a calm
and irresistible ocean of lovo for the Union.
We are, therefore, not surprised that even
the Richmond Enquirer, of the 22d of No
vember, should say that ‘'disunion is unde,
sired, and against every wish of tho people
of Virginia.”
Me. Buchanan’s obqan, the Washington
Constitution, of Saturday, is not satisfied for
tho Northern States ,to consent to the repeal
of the personal-liberty acts. “To be practi
cally important,” says tho Constitution, “ this
repeal mnst be followed by immediate mea
sures of a protective character, which experi
ence has shown to be desirable In any circum
stances,” and they “ must he in the shape of
amendments to tho Constitution, giving to the
South additional guarantees,” &c. Can it be
that Mr. Buchanan permitß the British editor
of tho Constitution to foreshadow thoso as his
opinions?,'
The Colombia (Sonth Carolina) Guardian,
of the 21st fast.; says: “There have been
sundry paragraphs going tho rounds of tho
papers, about a meeting of lawyers, said to
have beonheld fa this city, at which tho mem
bers of the profession had agreed not to re
ceive notes from tho North against our oiti
zens for collection. • No such meeting has
been held; repudiation oi just debts, or tho
placing of any unnecessary obstacle in the
way of thoir collection, is not thought of by
either our banking institutions or any class of
our citizens.”
Tho utter selfishness of secession and tho
deliberate cruelty of the Disunion leaders
are proved by the language of the flre-oators
fa regard to the border slave States. Thoy
speak o t the latter with as much contempt and
bitterness as of tho Republicans. What sort
of a Southern Confederacy would that be
captained by South Carolina and counselled
by Alabama and Mississippi, with Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, and other conservative
Southern States compelled to follow, like so
many captives fa their chains ?
A correspondent in' tho Charleston News
suggests tho somewhat novel idea, that ifthe
Representatives and Senators from a single
State should absent themselves from the Con
gress of the United States, therefore tho acts
of that body would not he binding upon such
oilending Commonwealth. Do not these wise
acres recolloct the theory upon which they at
tempted to justify tho Lecompton Constitu
tion, viz : that all thoso who refused to vote
at an election were bound by thoso who had
voted ?
Tns Germantown Telegraph is ono of the

substantial interests of his State and country.

Tho following letter, signed James Redpath,

of Mr. Rodpath’s letter:
LETTER TO OOV. PACKER.
Boston, November 16,1800.
Sm: A nnmber of young men, nnoonneoted, at
this time, with any organization, bat earnestly
desironaof devoting themselves to tho work of era
dicating slavery In the United States, 7eBpeotfnlly
invite you to meet them in a pnbllo Convention, to
be bold at Tremont Temple in this otty on Monday,
tho 3d of December next, and there address them
in roply to the question so vital to tho Interests and
the honor of our country and the progressof free
dom in the world: “ How can American shivery
e abolished ?”
It sooms to them that tho anniversary of the
death of John Brown, who, on tho 3d ef December,
1859, was killed for attempting to dooide this pro
blem In the mode that ho believed to bo tho most
efficient, is an oooasion peculiarly appropriate for
tho dlsousslon of our duty to the raoo for whom ho
suffered, and more especially for the unfolding of
praotloal methods for achieving tho holy object he
desired to attain by his descent on Harper's Ferry,
Virginia.
Ah Invitation, therefore, will bo extended to tho
leaders and representatives of all the different
anti-slavery bodies, and to various men of emi
nence who have done honor to their own souls by
advocating tho oause of Impartial freedom.
Every one, thus invited, is expected, in his
speeohes or letters, to oonflno himself exclusively
te the great question of the day, for it would bo a
work of supererogation, now, to dofend John
Brown, and n useless waste of time to eulogize him.
Leaving both of these duties to tho coming ages,
let ns seek to continue his lifo by striving to accom
plish what ho loft ns to finish.
An Immediate or speedy answer will greatly
oblige, by enabling ns to make the nooosßary ar
rangements on a plan snlßoiently extensivo.

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1860.
The winter operatic season commences thie even*
ing, when tbe associated My of stagers will pot
form ‘‘La Traviata/’. ip.wM o ? l . loadingparto
will be taken by Madaihf Qolson, Signor Bbriglia, ;
and Signor Ferrl, with Sigsor Muzio aa Conductor.
The oast is good. Thia change of the opera
(whloh was to have bees “ Lee Vepres Sicili«i*jj”)
was compulsory, owing to tho sever© indisposition
of Brignoli, as certified by Dr. Goddard in the ad*
vertiaement, and the assooiated artists have shown
a good managerial beginning by notifying the pub
lic of the faot at onoe instead of keeping it to them
pelves until the doors, were opened, (as, been pre
viously the oustom,) when these whooame'tohear
a specific opera, were oompelled to return home
again or listen .to one they did not antici
pate or desire. The. association has also is
sued. a card, to whioh the attention of the pub
lic) is requested. . There has been no flourish
of trumpets preceding those performances,
lnduces ns to think that tho management
wishes to do rather than promise. Tillman and
Btrakosoh commenced with immense promise, and
their last coup d'itat , on the Prince’s night, was
to pooket the proceeds, break faith with the pub*
lie. and leave hundreds upon hundreds of dollars
unpaid here. ' If either of them should venture
here again, their reoeption will be memorable.
, At Aroh-stroet Theatre, this evening, Mr. Wheat
ley takes his benefit, which ought to be, and will
be, a tremendously crammed affair. The per
formances will be Morton’s comedy of u Town and
Countrymuslo and danolng, including tho
Chinese danac in “ Aladdin,” and tho immortal,
as well as eccentric oomody, “The Serious Faml-,
ly.” Considering the condition of tho Arch-street
Theatre when Mr. Wheatley entered upon its
management, and tho enterprising spirit and wise
tact whloh have enabled him to make it ono ofthe
best-conduoted and most sucoessful establishments
in the Union, it will be admitted that if any one
merits s substantial acknowledgment, in form of a
Benefit, it is this admirable actor and judicious
managor.
Mrs. John Drew, the best stock Rotress, not in
this olty alone, bnt in the whole oountry, also be
comes a benefioialre on Wednesday evening, play
ing Rosalind, in “As You Like It.” The melo
drama of “ Wall&oe, the Hero of Scotland,”.will
also he played.
At Walnut-street Theatre, the fair debutante'
Miss Isabelle Freeman, closed her engagement (of
tho theatre itself) by playing Lucrezia Borgia.
This lady, a mero novice, with pretty faoe and
youth, and such a large quantity of self-possession
that wo might givo it another'and less ploasant
name, is an illustration of How to make a Star.
She performed a fow nights at Boston, to whioh
oity she belongs, and came to Philadelphia with a
few nowspapor-notices as her testimonials. Of
course, no management would run tho risk Of en
gaging her, whereupon, as we are informed, she
leased the theatre and company for a week. Un
fortunately, with the exception of Silliest Cobber,
whose praise came all toe late, no newspaper
writer was ablo to pass a favorable opinion upon
her. The ocoasional paragraphs whioh did praise
her, were those wiitton in the hox-offioe of tho
theatre—paragraphs whioh tho good nature of
some of our ootemporaries publishes daily, but
whioh The Press has always refused, exoept the
word “Advertisement” be prefixed to, eaoh. The
free and easy utterance of these puffs,—suoh as
“Lot Mies Freeman have a bumper at parting
distinguishes them from tbo regular oritioisms of
the newspapers. Aooording to these puffs, ehe is a
“ gifted young tragedienne,” hut according to the
regular criticism in tho papers, she has failed.
Beginners, starting from Now York or Philadelphia,
.with favorable notices from the press, instantly go
.West and South, as “ stars,” and, it is to bo feared,
leave a very unfavorable impression of Eastern
oritloism. Let Miss Frecmaq devote a few years
to hard study and pr&otiee of her profession, in
some oountry theatre, and perhaps she may be
come a respeotable aotress. Editing and acting are
two things whloh many believe oan be successfully
performed at the first effort:—bat a few trials
show the difference.
Mr/Edwm Adams, of W&lnut-streetT heatre, haß
his boneflt this evening. He has exhibited suoh
decided proofs of endeavoring to beoome a first
rate aotor, that we have no doubt he will achieve
that result. He has got rid of a certain diffidence
of manner, whioh embarrassed him at first, and
has gained sufficient self-oonQdenoe. We regret
to notioe that he has not yet corrected tho faults of
pronunciation which wo notioed on his first per
formance?. He still prolongs the final sound of
words ending in as if there .were half a dozen of
these letters following the word, and ho retains a
cer.taiu lounging way of speaking whloh is not
natural nor .pleasant. For exsmple, be would
give the words “ the course of true love never yet
ran smooth,” in this manner—the “ a-conne of-a
it-rue love a-never a yet a-ran a-emootha.” Also,
he has the stagey mannor of dealing with the
word my, which he calls malt. Thus, instead of
saying “myhat,” ho always says “mahati” Mr.
Adams,who has so much improved here that his,
made the success of.“ The Dead Heart,” can cor
rect these faults, and we think that be will, for he
evidently is a careful, studious young man, deter
pained to rise in his profession. For his benefit,
this evening, whloh will bo well attended we are
sure, be will play in the comedy of “Dreams o'?
Delusion,” the farce of “Too Maoh fdt'Gbod jSfiK
tare,” (both played hr the first time ip this
and the melo-drama of “ The Dream of Sea.”
At, the Olympic Theatre (Raoo, below Third),
Mr. McDonough brings out “ Ro>B6y,” this even
ing, himself as the gallant Boot; and Miss Mitchell
SB Helen MacGregor. All the original mnsio, VO
oal and instruments], wl)l bo given. ,Tho faroe of
“ Simpson h Co.” will oonoludetbe performances,
Blondin continues for five days, this week, at tho
Continental Theatre. This evening’will, bo the
first of Whitby’s Groat Show. There will bo day
performances at this theatre on Thursday and Sa
turday.
A week ago, wo mentioned that Blioh & Sharp
ley’s Opera House, Jayne’s Commonwealth Build
ing, was about to open. It did n vmy good busi
ness throughout tho woek—suoh performers as
Blroh, Sharpley, and Brower being extremely at
tractive—and they oontlnue this week, with their
oompany increased to sixteen performers.
At Sanford’s Opera House the comic pantomime
of “ Pipo and his MoDkoy,” (Signor Oanito as tho
monkey,) and a variety of other performances will
bo ployod all this woek. Sanford’s is uniformly
well attended by tho pnblio.
WASHINGTON! CORRESPONDENCE,
Letter from Occasional.”
[Correspondence ot The Preae.l
Several weeks ego I predicted that President
Buchanan would take strong Union ground, either
in a speoial proclamation, or in his regular mes
ssge. On Thursday last it was generally under
stood that his annual message was completed, and,
up to Friday, little doubt was entertained that he
intended, substantially, to aßsame the position
taken by General Jackson in his celebrated procla
mation of December, 1832. There may bo altera
tions, and X look for them, beo&use the O. P. F. is
exceedingly unwilling that his relations with
Messrs. Thompson and Cobb, who aro the known
advooates of sooesslen and resistance,' should be
disturbed. He wishes to preserve his Cabinet
intact for the three monthß that remain of hiß
official existonoe. The point ppon which the
President will probably bo silent, will bo that
of cooroing & Booeding State back into tbe Union.
If his argument is strong and logloal against
the right of secession itself, it will then
dopend upon those who ohoose to go out whether
they will pat themaslyes in an attitude to interfere
with the collection of tho revenues, or open
ports. - The friends of Mr. Snohanan argne thatf
he can do nothing without power, andcontond that
the responsibility will boon Congress whether a
State will be permitted to revolt, and If revolting,
whether she oan bo foroed to submit to tho law she
has violated, and to tho Go&federaoy she has
sorted. Tbe intention of the Southern States is
undoubtedly to remain in Congress until praotioaf
secession takes place, when, of course, the [Repre
sentatives of suoh seceding States will at onoe
retire.
Mr. Crittendon, who reaohed hero on Saturday,;
speaks despondingly of onr politioal future, HU
St. Louis prediction that a finnnoi&l collapse would
follow Lincoln’s election, has been substantially
fulfilled, and be now asserts that nothing can pre
vent the secession of several of the Cotton States.
Meanwhile,' notwithstanding the apparent unanimij
ty of Alabama and Mississippi in favor of in.
dependent State action, and the probable elootion
of a considerable majority of Pißunionists to the,
forthcoming Conventions, there is a large party
in these States, intent npon co-operation—that is,
intent npon a programme whioh will bring to
gether all tho gtatps of the South, bo that they,
oan move on aoominon ba?is. Mr. Yancey, and’
Mr. Watts, (a leading Bell man in the late Fieti
dontial contest,) have beon nominated at ftontgo
mory, Alabama, by a meeting of all parties* and
will be ohesen dele gates to tho Disunion Conven
tion. The resolutions of tho meeting recommended,
realatanoe and secession. Mr. Yanooy himself, in
a letter dated on the 15th of November, argues not!
only in favor of the right of seoeEsloc, but that.
Alabama should not wait for others, bnt go out
alone. Information from other parts cf tbe State
assuros me that hundreds and thousands will op
pose this strong remedy for imaginary evils.
The late law partner and oosneotion of
Justioo Campbell, of the United States /Su
preme Court, Mr. Daniel phendior, at a meet
ing hold at Mobile, some twenty da;? ago, attempt
ed to stem the torrent raging in that quarter, but
was Overwhelmed. In the oonrse of his speech he
presented some praotloal considerations, showing
tho danger of separate action, and dwelt' with
power upon the enormous oest of jnaintaining' an
army neoessary to make suoh aotion effective. Ho
stated that to keep an army of five thousand men
in the field for a single year would oost over two
million of dollars—leaving his andlenoe to answer,
tho query that must have ocourred to them,
“ where is the money to come from?” It is not
doubted by those who know Mr. Chandler, that
what he said at the Mobile meeting was but $ faiy
reflection of the sentiments of Justice Clmpbolit

oppoied to the movements of the fire-eaters. Of
Jaetba Wayne I have rep&dtedlj spoken; and
now ;t may be safely asserted that his colleagues
sqljsantielly egree with him. Letters from dis
;ste}tshcd~gentlemen b&ni ;iB the South, bub now
3etfjeht in the North, have . Veen addressed to tha
Alabama, invoking them to pause before
takhg the final and fatal step. The ,Union men
of tie South cannot he too heartily sustained.
Evwy conservative demonstration on tha part of
thefree Stateshslps precisely as evary radioal do
mojatratlon hurts them. This truth ought to he
bone In mjnd.by the true friends of the RepubHo
in 4U parts of the oountry. . ,
Washington is. Inconceivably dull. I do . not
k&ftw of more than three or four members of Cen
giess in the city at the present time.
Various schemes are suggested for the purpose
of tranquilising the public mind; and a National
Convention, to be oomposed of delegates from all
the States, elected by popular vote, and not by tho
State Legislatures, is vigorously pressed by cer
tain interests. There are many arguments in
fever of and objections to' this suggestion. The
friends of the Union ought to deliberate well he*
foie they second it. „ Suppose, for. inatanoe, the
Soith in a body In such sconvention, under the
injaenoe of Messrs. Yanoey, Khett, & 00., Bhould
pnent a programme to whloh the North and
Npthweat coold not accede. What then? In
stad of contemplating the secession of only three
orfour Cotton States, as we now do, we might then
faaold the withdrawal of all the slave States. It
sl»uld be remembered that, while the Union-men
of 'he South are resolute and self-saerifiolng, they
mi{ht not be able to Btay the tide in favor of disso
lution with their own people, or in a National Con
vention. An inflammatory speech, on one or the
otler side, might end in a bre&oh that could never
betVs&lnd. Let our cool,ealm, and patriotic states
mat tako no step to be rogrotted. Let them weigh
evefy word thoy utter, and especially avoid &
ln any of the orude schemes so
rifdin these troublous times.
jyr. Buchanan Is exceedingly eulogistio of Garl
badi in these times. He refreshes himself with
Gfiibaldi. He particularly admires Garibaldi’s
retiiement to Capri, and looks forward, with his
single blue eye, to the sweet and soothing seolurion
that awaits him at Wheatland, precisely as if he
.weri another Garibaldi. But there is a difference
BWwo«n our retiring Executive and the medest
Garibaldi will go to his island home after
hadng united and' restored -peace and happiness to
eigit or nine millions of his oountrymon He goes
wlti their blessings npon his head and with the
vobe of tbe oivilised world preceding, surrounding,
ani following him like the very atmosphere of
hoarca. He goes surrendering titles and honors.
He j}oea breathing toleration and tranquility. He
goes{ with his red shirt and his rough hands and his
warm heart, to look out upon the grand work he
has| finished, and to see others revelling In the
glottis benefits he has showered upon them. Shall
I mike the contrast? I forbear, in the hope that
J&njes Buchanan will at least make one attempt to
briegiogether tbe country he has divided, so that
inhb quiet homo, at Wheatland, while reviewing
hlsdwn past deeds, he inay find one consolation—
viz; that his final act wss the boat he oould do for
theltepublio.
11 seems to be almost a poetlo confirmation and
apjioval of the late glorious fight of Stephen A.
Doqglas in f&vor of the Union, that the authority
upen which the friends of the Republlo relied
during all his struggle, and fire relying upon now,
I? tlat of tho groat ancestor of his beautiful and
giftid wife. The opinions of James Madison are,
I perceive, daily revived by the honest friends of
the Union, everywhere, to show that the right of
secession, and therefore of disunion, never was
oomemplatcd as belonging to the Btates who aided
to fiie formation, and afterwards ratified the Con*
stliition of the United States. Thus in oar day
au<l generation, Stephen A. Douglas stands doubly
by :he Union. First, because of his own platform,
andsecondly, beeause ho is now conneotod with the
lovely descendant of James Madison—ono of the
best and purost men and Presidents this nation

THE ELECTION.
The total vote in tho State, as far as heard from,
is 111,818, distributed as follows :

Douglas, ....... 35,900
Breckinridge, 31,216
Bell, ......... 8,026
This is the most l&vorablo sooonnt for Donglas,
other accounts placing him 1,000 behind Lincoln.
The balance of the returns will probably decrease
Lincoln’s plurality, but it is generally oonoeded
that the State has gone for him.
A despatoh from Yreka, near Oregon, dated the
13th, says the latest advioes from Oregon give
Linooln 250 majority, and Donglas is 6,000 behind
Breckinridge. Three small eountles are to be

SKETCHES OF CITY LIFE.
THE CONDEMNED MDBDBRBR IN PRISON.
VISIT TO THE CELL OF LAKES XILLEB.
By the kindness of the Sheriff of Philadelphia,
we have been permitted to visit the ooU of James
Miller, convioted of the murder of Gather, and
sentenoed to die. The time for the fulfilment of
the sentence is near at hand. The gallows has
been inspected by Jaok Ketch and son ; the rope
prepared; the spot selected for (hegibbet eight;,
tho condemned assured of the fallaoy of hope and
the oertainty of death. Prom the heartless cir
cumstances of the murder, little sympathy has
been expressed for the guilty man. The great
oity which received the tidings of hU conviction
with silent applause, looks without softening to the
coming expiation, and reading in his felon-cell of
curses attributed to him whiohhe never spoke, the
prisoner feels that his single guilt has shut him out
from the world’s regard and built about his prison
a wall of hate higher than its granite towers.
Since his incarceration, the prisoner’s conduct
has been of a satisfactory oharactor. In the in
terval of confinement between bis arrest and trial,
he grew somewhat unruly, and was punished by a
day’s sojourn in tho dark cell; but his subsequent
order and seeming ropentance have entitled him
to the good wlshos of every prison offioer. His cell
is situated in the middle corridor on the second
floor. It was the scene of the last daysofSku
pinski, Langfeldt, Arthur Spring, and Peter Mad
dux. Outwardly it does not differ from adjoining
cells, but is muoh stronger. Oh Thursday after
noon, at 4 o’clock, we entered Its iron door, ac
companied by the sheriff and a deputy. The pri
soner’s aunt had just left him, and he bad paued
much of the day with Rev. Mr. Perry, his spiritual
adviser. Ho was sitting in an old-fashioned rush
bottomed chair, bareheaded,’and deprived of coat
and vest. His left arm waa leaning on a small ta
ble, whero n pie and some delioaoies had been
placed—the gifts of friendly but bruised hearts.
The coverlet of his bed,-low-and narrow, was
smoothed by tho same kindly hands. -The light
fell soantily through a strip of stone window,
guarded by heavy shutter bunds, through whose
ahinks only white shreds of sky looked io, but
neither tree, nordwelling, norlmng thing. Three
plno stools, with long, lank legs, made by the pri
son carpenter, rested in the centre of the oell. The
bare, cheerless walls and naked floor were very
wan and comfortless. The prisoner seemed, as he
sat, not more than five feet five inohes In height.
His shoes were ooarse; his pantaloons, worn with
out suspenders, wore of a dark-brown materia!,
and bis shirt was rumpled usd untidy. Bisfsoo
was fall and smooth, his hair dry ana luetrekss.
He hBd an eye indicative of oonameraUe shrewd
ness, with straight, handsome brows,' and a fore
head of fair proportions.. Upon-his whole faoe
rested a look of utter hopelessness, whose despair
was well adapted to the cheerless cell. It waa a
stricken faoo, where fear bad frozen cut the
warmth and smile from every lineament. There'
was no aspiration, no courage, no about it.
It wasa brooding faoe, dull andderk, beside which
despair itself was mild.
We wer? introduced to the prisoner, who arose
and proffered his hand. Then we sat down on the
tall stool. For a moment-there was an awkward
pause.
“ Have you been wanting for anything sinoe my
last visit?” said the sheriff, calling him by name.
The man looked uneasily at the window behind
him, and the light of the sky fell through the
ohinks of the blind on hia sad faoe. His tone gave
the lie to his reply. “ I have had all that a man
oould want In my situation,” said he. He said
thfg reluctantly.
" I gave order*, Miller, v said the sheriff, “ that
all your legitim atq desires should be attended t*”’
“ I thank you, air,” said Miller; “ I have noth
ing to ask for.’ Ho looked again, half instinc
tively, to the ohinks of light, and settled down
upon his hands.
“Bave you a step-father?” said the sheriff
finally.
“ I had at ono time, sir; but don’t knfls whether
heisalivoordoad.” Ho had ;a\sed np quickly,
“ I was appealed to by a friend of hi 9 for a per
mit to your olusing scone.”
A sort of tremor ran through the man, though
eoaroely perceptible When he had rallied, ho
said firmly: “I" should hope, sir, it ia in your
power, that you would not grant the pass ’’
“ I certainly shall not do So if you objeot.”
“ I wish,” said Miller earnestly, “ to see no on*.
None of my friend*, that I oare for, want to oopje;
other persons than them I don’t to see.”
Then there ensued, tha same awkward pause.
Miller looked sleadily at the floor. SomotbfDg
wistful seemed lurking In eye: he had $llll,
perhaps, an ember of hope. Jf euoh he had, the
Sheriff dispelled it.
“Well, Miller,” he remarked solomnly, "I sup
pose that you havo become resigned to die.” Mil
ler’s bead sunk lower—be did .not speak. The
sheriff resumed: *« There is no earthly hope for
you Only a few days remain between you anfl
the grave. Make your peace while you oai\.”-
At every word a deeper shadow gathered on the ,
doomed man’s faoo. If H had b9su cold and sad
before, it was now ghastly and terrible.
“ I had i»f3 the sheriff, uneasily, “to
liavg passed my term of office without an affair of
this kind. Tho last year of my term Is reserved
for this unpleasant duty.”
The sheriff’s faoe exhibited vanity of at
tempting to reooncile hU repulsive duty wRh hit
convictions pf ijlgbt. !fhe conversation was con
ducted ior a time without the prlsoner’j'parHeina
tlon. He sat ds a nu in a dream or *trance,
gazing fixedly q>QA the flops. Reference was then
made te tfl® disgraoefri fabrication rela
ys to th© Popdemned man, It had been printed
*n o?e of tfee police gaieties. *
“How did it got there ?” he bail quickly, u a
glanea, of Indignation started upon diii.MMK
“ Who put it there V! . .
The sheriff atetod that tbe report wee a fabrics*

“l'hat isn't all them napora has .aid untruly of

He- sunk aeain T -ae if overborne. When interro
gated ae id h& health; he stated that be had never
been, siok in his life save onee, when in United
States service, off tbe coast of Florida. Xhli led
•to. an Inquiry as to-hid way of-life; when he re
lated an experience off the eoeet .af. Africa,
where a dreadful storm dismantled theveaaeir ' -
“ I neVsr’expeeted to-see shore', u ha aald, t'but
I did—and only to bo hung in the end.”
He spoke of hih grandmother with respeot. He
is eaid to be a natural son. The old lady is eight,-
hve years old. She jogs, up tbe stone steps every
d & 7,/l&den with some delieaey for the condemxed. -
Diokenß or Balwer never drew a scene so utter- -
iy sgonizing as we.witneawd in that cell.- The
certaioty that the brawny, healthy man was to” be
Strangied on the 7th of Deoember-thi! he was.
looking ever Ot the instant that gave horror in'the
faoe that it had beoome to him a dream, a sha- '
f “ ‘*>al«poe, darkening his eeU. making
night hideous, driving him mid-all this seemed
so impalpable and heinous that reason could
scarcely credit its reality. There were the limbs
that wore to quiver in tho death-agonlee—the eyes
that were to start from, their sockets—^the ims
that must be pinioned—the neok that was to he
broken. If we could eeo thus vividly the terror of
the scene, how fearful must have bMa his own as
tlcipations?- And yet, with all this, the man Was
sano. ~ . , ,
' A pie lay on the table—the thought suggested
itself of self-murder. Will the guilty so cheat tha 1
vindictiveness of the law? , ,
As we shook hands with him on going out. he
fi tood i.V^~ mBBCU l ar an d motive. We lied throng
xne Uttle door, and turned to look through the
grate, for the last time. He had sank into the.
chair, in tho old position, with that sadness still
i seated on bis ohcek. - •
o»f plough the stone door, under
hu ir K° ;“ 18 nailed to the corridor fi
ble, the sheriff remarked that many a «o». ‘
wretch had made hie final exit over that thnahold,
, The gollowj will not bo ereoted on the ancient
aoanoid site, at the southwest corner of the orison
enclosure. The elocution of Maddnx at thia point
was the occaalon of moat .dfagrauful eeeses. More
than 2,500 men and boys were admitted at that
time to witness the expiation, and th* prison wall
was orowded with rnffians whosoaledilfrom tha
outside with ladders. Aftor the miserable negro
had ceased to live, and the mongrel crowd had
mattered, about twenty gin bottle* were found in
the vicinity of tho gallows.
Tho site for the execution of Hiller has been se
lected with a view to obviate snob outrages upon
.the dying pcaoe of the unhappy man. • It lfea al
most at (ha centre of tho prison area, bounded by
the pnsonrstable and a stone outhouse and a high
