The Ticket which stands at the head of this arti cle has been selected for your suffrages and support, in accordance with the usages of the Democratic Party f the State ami County, and is entitled to your most friendly consideration. It. is unnecessary for us to say that all the candidates are gentlemen of ca pacity, integrity, and sound Democracy, for this tact is well known to the People, and the unanimity with which their nominations have heen received is a clear indication that the Freemen of Bedford County in tend to elect thern. Democrats stand firm. Let no pur ate dijjicultie tsr thrown into this campaign, for they have nothing to do in tire matter. Remember that the great Demo cratic Party feel a deep interest in the success ol their principles, and these principles can only be car ried out by electing the agents selected lor I his pur pose. A better Ticket than the above was never presented to the people of Bedford County. THE SENATOR QUESTION. CT7" Bedford, Fulton, and Somerset, elect a Sena tor this fall, and the candidates now before the peo ple are Mr. JORDAX, of Bedford, and Mr. STEWART, ol Somerset, both Whigs. The Bedford and Fulton Conferees selected Mr. Jordan, and those from 'Som erset, Mr. Stewart. Explanations were made on both sides, at the respective County Meetings, which ended in agreeing to disagree. Somerset, it is plain to be seen, will stand firmly by Mr. STEWART, whilst it is equally plain that Mr. JORDAN cannot carry the party vote of even his own County. At the Whig Meeting on Tuesday evening of the Court, WILLIAM LYON, ESQ., one of the most prominent Whigs in Bedford County, publicly •denounced Mr. Jordan's nomination as "one not lit to be made," and declared that he would not only not vote for him, but that he would use all honorable means at his command to secure bis defeat. This declaration fell upon Mr. Jordan's piospects with chilling effect, and a few of h;s friends exhibited their distaste for Mr. Lyon's remarks by hissing, but gen tlemen who were present say that many of the mo.-t influential Whigs in the Meeting heartily responded to Mr. Lyon's remarks by repeated and hearty cheers ! —and we have been assured that he is enthusiasti cally backed in his oppo.-ition to Jordan by many of the best Whigs in the County. Mr. Lyon's jpeech l.s represented to have been the best delivered on the occasion. \0 HOPE OF ELECTING POLLOCK! 027" The Philadelphia News, of the 2d nist., pub lishes a very significant fact from one of the puid m gans of Judge CONRAD, Mayor of the consolidated City, by which it will be seen that our opponents have not only no hope of electing Mr. POLLOCK Gov ernor, but boldly make the declaration timt he cannot ie electal. The Banner has come to this conclusion I in consequence of the Whigs having two candidates in the field to divide their vote, and the Editor taunt ig!y remarks that Mr. BRADI ORD can '•neither be bought nor scared off!" The friends of Mr. Pollock are equally determined, and hence the Neu-s very good naturedly seems to endorse all that the Banner alleges. Notwithstanding here is a po-itive admission, from two of the leading Whig papers of the State, that Mr. Pollock cannot be elected, there are a few to be found in Bedford and elsewhere who are silly enough to claim his election by an overwhelming majority, just as they "used to do" when speaking of the e lection of Winfield Scott over the " fainting Gen eral!" and of that of Win, F. Johnston over the "Susquehanna Raftsman." We invite the attention of our Whig friends, es pecially, to the following article from the leading organ of their own party: From the Daily News, Sept. 2d. Hi'iulCurd will esS WiShdraiv. So says the American Banner, whose editor is one of the public printers elected by Common Council. Tie Banner lays it down thus : "We deny that Mr. Pollock can be elected, either a:- an American or as a Whig, while Benjamin Rush Bradford remains the standard bearer ol The Ameri can party; arid that he will abide the i-sue as the nominee of the "American Convent ion, ice know. He cannot be bought off'or scared off; and it is folly to build upon such expectations. Should Mr. Pollock j fully endorse American principles—at least so far as to claim the support of Americans—the only as surance he can give ol the sincerity of hi- conversion, will be an immediate resignation as the Whig candi date and a public avowal to support the legal repre sentative of those principles, Mr. Bradford. This would be the only honest test of his motives." Allegheny louuly. oC7™The Democrats of Allegheny County, at their late Convention, placed in nomination the following excellent and popular Ticket: For Congress—Hon. Clias. Shaler. Assembly—Gen. J. K. Moorhead, Capt. John S. i Hamilton, John M. Kirkpatru k, Thomas M. Car rol, Wilson Stewart. The election of this Ticket will do honor to the treemenoi Allegheny, and we hope to be able to record its triumphant success on the 2d Tuesday of October. Gen. MOORHEAD is a whole team himself, and Capt. HAMILTON represented the county last year with great credit to himself and advantage to his consti tuents. Ilou. J. (Hamy Jours. The Democracy o{ "Old Berks" have renominated tor Congress, by acclamation, the gentleman whose name beads this article, a compliment he justly mer ited—for, in addition to his sound and radical Democ racy, his pleasant and courteous address, and bis com manding appearance, he possesses intellect well cal culated to render him an ornament to his constitu ents and the country at large. His renomination has been hailed in term- of lively approval by the entire Democratic Press of the State. (XT" We have received anothrr communication from Hon PETER Be HELD, on the subject ot Temper ance, but too late for this week. 02?" A \oi NG MAN, of unexceptionable morals, and agreeable disposition, between the age of 17 and IS years, will be taken at this office, to learn the Print ing Business, on favorable term-. FOURTH ADDRESS. 02?" We publish to-day the fourth Address of the Democratic State Central Committee, and hope it will be read by every voter in the County, of both parties, as it embraces facts and arguments that should be in the po-session of all men. The Ad- j dress is written in a spirit of candor, and, although it is somewhat lengthy, yet it embraces so much of in terest, that rio seeker after truth will tire in reading it. Our opponent- have issued but a single Address, of little over half a column, which originally ap peared on the outside of the Daily Netrs, as though the Editor was ashamed of it. The Whigs having tacitly admitted that all'their opposition to the great measures of the Democratic Party was founded in error, they have now nothing to say, having handed over their stock in trade to a secret sworn combina tion whose reply to all interrogatories is—"/ don't Inoio." In view of these facts, and the unparalleled prosperity which characterizes every department of Agricultural and Mechanical Industry, no Democrat will falter in discharging In- whole duty tohisCuun- , try, by nobly and faithfully supporting the candidates selected by the Democratic Party according to its j establi.-hed usage. DEMOCRATS, forgive and forget all minor differ ences that have heretofore existed among you—dial- 1 ly to the Standard of your time-honored Banner once j more—and, the Flag of Democracy will wave in Tri umph on the second Tuesday of October, bearing ; aloft in its ample folds that glorious COXS'iliU-j 'i'lON which declares equal Rights to all men! K7"JOH\' S. RICIIEV, Esq., desires us to say : that he does not wish to be considered a candidate j for the oliice of Poor Director. He tenders his -in- ; cere thanks to the Democratic Convention for their partiality in selecting bim for this responsible trust, and, in declining to accept, he wishes it distinctly understood that he does so with bis best wishes lor the success of the Democratic Ticket. consequence of the declination of Mr. j RICHEY, for Poor Director, the County Committee j have selected Mr. Vf_\i STATES, of West Providence, j to ftli the vacancy, who was the gentleman next ; highest in vote before the Convention. He will make an able and efficient Director, and is one of the j best Democrats in the County. 'i he Convention having, by some oversight, neg lected to nominate a candidate tor Coroner, the Com- j mittee have selected Pun.ii' Moss, list)., of South ampton township, which makes the Ticket complete. Mr. Moss is an honest, competent, and reliable roan, 1 and his Democratic friends will rejoice to have an ' opportunity to vote for him. • OIE* Judge POLLOCK has at length taken the stump. ! but bis speeches are represented as a mere tirade of abuse against the Democrats, destitute of either point or argument. He dodges the know Nothing Ques-■ tion —neveropens his mouth on the subject of the TARIFF—is silent about the Independent Treasury —and seems to have his warmest off--, tions centered in the cause 01" abolitionism. ET" The Democracy ot Allegheny County, at their late Convention, parsed the following eloquent ami i patriotic resolutions, which we trauster to our col umns with great pleasure, satisfied that they will be j read with lively satisfaction by all into whose hands | they may fall. Allegheny is sound to the core : Resolved, That the faithful management of the . public finances ; tie preservation ot the public tran quility; the strict observance ot all the injunctions of Uie Constitution; the assertion ot the supremacy of. the laws; the protection of the American citizen, both at home and abroad: and the fearless vindication o! the honor of our national llag, wherever u-suiled, justly entitle tlie admiuistiatioii of Gen. Franklin Pierce to the confidence and coidial support ol every true Democrat and lover of his country Resolved, That the prosperous condition of our Common wealth, and the preservation of the public j credit, under the administration of William Biglei'4 ! show that gentleman io be a laithful public servant, arid well worthy of re-election to the oltice of Gov ernor. The democracy of Pennsylvania will proye true to their principles at the coming election, des pite the intrigues and combinations ol their enemies. Resolved, That the proceedings ol political parties, the nominations of candidates ior oliice, and the means to be employed during the conduct of every political campaign, should be open and above board; and, therefore,this Convention is opposed to all se cret political organizations. Resolved, That the Democracy of Allegheny coun ty, publicly tenders the right band ot fellow-ship to their adopted fellow citizens without reference to creed or country. Resolved, That the letter of Chief .Tu.-tice Black to the Temperance Committee is w hat might bo ex pected of an upright Republican Judge, ibe selec tion of such a man gives stability to our institutions, and a guarantee that the property and lives of the citizens is sale in his hands, and we lake pride in giving our votes to one that prefers doing his duty than cater to a taction for the sake of votes. Resolved, That the candidate for Canal Commis sioner, Col. Mott, is a Democrat without reproach; j for one that is so much beloved at home, should he a pas-port to the Democracy of the State. Resolved, That the Democratic party retains and adheres to its ancient hostility to all monopolies.— j Even necessary corporations should be restrained and limited, so that private rights and property shall be , safe against every sort of invasion. Resolved, That combination ot capital, to raise and keep up the price of man'- daily bread in seasons of scarcity and distress, should meet with signal and universal rebuke. Resolved, That this Convention, acting tor the Democracy, tender to Gov. Bigler ari invitation Io visit Pittsburgh, at what ever time will best suit his convenience. As we will take pride in doing honor I to the man That does honor to the State; for ins ad ministration i- marked with fidelity to the people, a faithful Democracy will sustain him by re-election. Resolved, Thai this Convention recommend to the j yeomanry of Alleghny County the ticket this day ; nominated, comprising, as it doe-, gentlemen of known qualifications, strict integrity and well es tablished principles. Resolved, That our Senator, Dr. Jonas R. Mc- Chntock, and our Representatives in Assembly, be ami are hereby instructed to vote lor Col. McCain'- less for United States Senator, and we call upon the i Democratic representatives from Western Pennsyl vania to give to the Allegheny Democracy, their aid and support in securing his election, conscious thui4 bis Talents, ami the claims ol the Democracy of Al legheny County, entitle them to the honor The Temperance Quesiiogi. What has become of Mr. JORDAN'S Temperance principles f Of lute he seems to have no lot or part in this matter ! A year or two ago, he denounced j every body, in public speeches, that would not en- j dorse his political Temperance movements—then he j declared himself ready tq go for Prohibition if he stood solitary and alone in pi shing forward the col umn—yes, he was an honest advocate of Temper i ance, and, in his estimation, every man was a rum i sucker who would not vote a political temperance ticket. Now, he is as quiet as a mouse—won't even j open his mouth on the subject of prohibition, and seems to hart out when other people argue the ques- I tion. Shame on duplicity like this. Let Mr. Jor dan now declare his sentiments as he use,l to do, and j tell the people that, ifelected to the Senate,he stands j pledged to exert all hi- powers to have a Prohibitory Liquor Law passed—let him also declare that he was one of the leaders in bringing this issue into politics—and let him re-pub!ish his Temperance re- j solutions of !*•',_! as an indication of his present#ievvs. People would give him credit for a manly course 1 like this. As thing- now stand, however, Temper ance men will spurn him, and the opponents of a I prohibitory law won't touch him !

We publish to-day the opinion lately delivered by I Chief Justice black in the great Krie Railroad case. It will be read with interest all over our Slate, and in other States interested in tiie Lake shore line of railroads. It will be seen by this opinion that the Erians were not so entirely without excuse for their I war upon the railroads last winter, as their catumnia i tors at the east and west believed. That portion of ! the Company's road which obstructed the streets of Erie was built without right or charter; and was a ' nuisance—a nuisance that must now be abated, un i less the Legislature interfere. The people of Erie ! will come out right yet. | Judge will be found, on perusal, : one of the most sound, clear and able documents ever S presented to the public. There is but one opinion throughout this commonwealth in regard to the ad | rnirable qualifications ofthe Chef Justice for the high position he occupies. His writings exh.bita clearness of style that the most unlearned can under stand; a force of style that produces conviction: and j an exactness in the use ot words that will leave no. room for doubt hereafter as to the law as he announ ! ees it. It would lie a great loss to the State to lose the ! services of so sound a jurist and upright a man. upon the Supreme bench; and we presume the people of this commonwealth will take the same view of the j matter. To protect individuals, and the masses of j ■ the people from the giu-ptng spirit, the wealth and | power of great corporations, is a duty that our pre sent Supreme Court keeps constantly in view, and I well discharges.— Pittsburg Post. The Religious i'ress and the Kncw- Notbings. it is a gratifying sign to notice that some of the ! leading religious Protestant journals are taking 1 strong ground against Know-Nothingism. Among otliei powerful articles which have appeared in their papers, we find a communication in the New York i Christian Inquirer, styled "a letter to the Know | Nothings," thorougiy exposing the tolly and injus tice of their doctrines, from which we make the fol lowing brief extracts: "The idea of ignoring a man's individuality, and of giving him a badge in society according to tne ae -1 eident ol his birth, was one ol the mam results, as it ! is one ol the chief props, of arrogance tn man and of i despotism in governments. A man is born a Chri-ttan, and he has aii the characteristics ol the Jew. A man is born a Jew, and he lias ail the impulses of' the Christian. ; A man is born a Roman Catholic, who detests Pope and Jesuitism. A man is born a Protestant, and his sensuous na ture leads him to tiie most sensuous ivhgion. A man is born in Europe with all the instincts ola ' republican. A man is born in America with proclivities to ex clusiveness and aristociacies. Don t you see your short-sightedness ? ion can | not judge men by what they proless to lie, or by what, from tiie inference of their birth, you supposed them ; to be. You must judge them by what they arc. It you wage war against all who are corrupt, whether Oom here or abroad, whether Catholics or Protes : tants, you will succeed, because there >s justice and ' common sense in your war. From the moment, however, you descend lrom that comprehensive plat form and single out one or the otiier accidents of birth, as your special enemy, you will not only fail m your endeavor to reform, but you will destroy the i republic which you wish to save, by destroying the principles ol religious liberty and political equality upon which it is founded." "You argue the adopted citizen is too narrow-mind- ! ed to comprehend our institutions. By crowding: him out from your political society, you rob him of ' only chance which fie has of elevating his mind. Y ou argue, further, they cannot bear allegiance to two powers—to the Pope of Rome and the Con ■ stitution ol the United states. "The animal principles of Gavazzi has materializ ! edgrour understanding. Your senses are fascinated by the ge-tioulatioris of the Italian, and your reason does not jay homage to the genius ofthe American. \our reason does not pay homage to the innumerable agencies of -enlightenments which the pulpit, the school-house, the press, the forum, the whole atrnos ' phere of American life, provide lor defeating the most tortuous machinations of the Jesuit, as well as the most God-defying ravings of the Infidel, l.ike aii that is divine, those influences are silent and you do not see how they work. But, like all that is ungodly, resent : meat and intolerance are boisterous and noisy, and thus have for champions all those whose mind s eyes are shut, who are blind, and who do not iiear unless j they hear a noise. "The talk about the oath of allegiance to the Pope is sheer nonsense. If the old man himself bud tne : slightest notion ofthe validity ot that oath, the lirst Hung he would have done when lie fled in ISI9 would have been to call to his assistance all his subjects, or, if they bad cared a straw about hint, they would have rushed en masse to Home to his rescue.

But there i- a God in Heaven, and as sure as He, in His goodness, never deviates Irora His divine principles, and sends eve ry day his Sun to illuminate this wicked world, lest darkness might make wickedness more wicked, just a- sure will those who have Christ in their heart and Washington in their mind never deviate from their divinely-inspired principles; and long hence, when you and yom efforts are forgotten, history will speak with emotion of the national men who, by waging War agairist all corrupting influences, and by shun ning invidious distinction created by accidents of birth, brought the country back to the practical Christianity of our Saviour, and to the digmiied and modest virtues of the republican Washington."

It appears lie had a great fear ofthe cholera, and it is -aid that since the appearance of the disease there, he would never go out of his house, except with a ; bottle of cholera mixture in his hand, and a parcel of ' chloride of lime in his pocket, and he regulated his | diet and the economy of his family in strict confor i miry to the rules laid down by the board of health, j hot unfortunately his children, three beautiful boys, ! could not be restricted when they got out of sight, j and they were seized with cbtdera from eating green i fruit. Soon after his wife was taken and died. * See | ing the approaching dissolution of his wife, poor Wil ! son became quite frantic. He rnshed out of the house, j leaving all his sick children behind him, and went to a lodging house up town, where he also died next ; day, from nothing else than downright fear.

SSiiiier. We publish below the principal points con tuined in Governor BIUI.KR'S speech before the Pe mocracy of Susquehanna county, a few days since, to which we invite the e-peciu! attention ol the Whigs, who have ay pro red so anxious to have kit opinion. on "Nebraska," "Temperance," Ne. The Governor, it will be seen, meets every question at issue in a bold, fearless, and candid manner: From the Montrose. Democrat. Governor Biglcr in Wonlrose. One of the largest assemblages ever convened in this county met at Montrose on Tuesday, the 29th ult. At three o'clock in the afternoon the multitude convened in front of the Academy, where a platform had previously been prepared lor the occasion. The meeting was called to order by Hon. G. A. Grow, whereupon Hon. i\l. C. Tyler was chosen President, Amherst Carpenter, Calvin Loots, Lewis Brush, Isaac Keckhow, Thomas Johnson, Torrey Whitney chosen Vice Presidents, and A. J. Davis cho sen Secretary The President then introduced Ins Excel lency, Wtn. Bigler, who spoke upon the topics of the day in his usual able and statesmanlike manner, b-ing frequently interrupted by cheers from tlie crowd. The substance of his remarks upon some of the topics touched upon by him were as follows: "He first gave a general review ot State af fairs—spoke of the prosperous condition of the Common wealth—of the condition Q1" her finan ces, showing most clearly that hut for projects of expenditure commenced before his induction into otlice, over two millions ofthe public debt might have been paid within the last three years. He declared himself unqualifiedly aguinst tiie construction of any additional improvements by the State—that individual enterprise alid capital were equal to the accomplishment of all feasible schemes of this kind, and the people should be no longer burthened with taxation for such pur poses. He next alluded to the monetary con dition of the countrv —to the, bank failures which were daily heralded through the news papers, and said that it should riot he forgotten when he came into office a project was on foot under the auspices of his predecessor, a Whig Governor, to introduce into our State the Free —or to use the classic language of the New York papers, the Wild Cat System of Banking. He showed that had this measure of Whig poli cy been adopted, Pennsylvania, and especially her commercial Metropolis, would now he the scene of these commercial disasters—that even had he yielded to the demands of the L -gisla ture for an extension of our present system we should now be in the condition of some of the surrounding States. He defined his views and tiie Democratic policy 011 the subject generally. He spoke of the loose system of granting corpor ate privileges fn practice when lie came into oliice—a system which gave undue rights and advantages to capital, in its relations to labor— that enabled the shrewd ami designing to im pose upon the honest and unwary. He spoke most feelingly and eloquently ot our Common School System. Said iie had not supposed that it would ever he necessary for him to define lus position on this subject, or rope! the accusation, that the Democracy desired to make inroads up on the system, but he had mistaken, lor there were those who had shown themselves bold arid reckless enough to make the charge. H- re pelled it with feeling and manifest indignation, and declared that he always had beers, was now, and ever should be the devoted friend of our Common School system —that it should be his pride and pleasure to labor to perfect and extend it, and lie looked forward to the day when the Commonwealth should be prepared for public education ofall grades. lie next alluded to the temperance cause—to the effort that had been made to turn it to po litical or partisan account. lie said his [Hisi tiori was defined in his letter to the State Tem perance Convention. He deplored the evils of intemperance, and was willing to sanction any reasonable measure to mitigate, and i! possible to exterminate the vice. But he could not pledge himself to sanction a law which he had never seen. He could not, under the obligation ot an oath, say that a statute was just and con stitutional, not one word ot which he had ever seen; and for this he had been abused by cer tain politicians and pretended temperance men. He said the question had been referred to the people, and their voice would decide so far as related to the policy of the measure. Should they demand the law, and the representatives of the people put it in a constitutional liirrn, neither lie nor iiis opponent would have the moral cour age to reject it. lie nest alluded to the strange political dog mas punulgated !>y the VVhi£, Native American and Know Nothing Mayor of Philadelphia— to tiie effect that no citizen, not bom in the coun try, should be permitted to hold office, no mat ter how pure his character, how strong his love of country, how valuable his services. The ac cident ol birth was to decide the civil rights of the citizen. VVe shall noi attempt to give an idea ol the biting sarcasm and burning eloquence of this part of bis speech, it was truly great. He exhibited the flagrant injustice of the idea, denounced it as immoral, as unjust, as a propo sition to disgrace our country, by breaking the faith of our fathers as plighted in the constitu tion. The secret order of "Know Nothings," who embrace the doctrine of Mayor Conrad, together with another that seeks to pro scibe citizens from civil rights, because of their religious belief, was next reviewed and rejected as a most insidious, dangerous and unjust mea sure. He inquired why a secret and oath bound association was necessary in this country, and argued that it there be political or moral evils amongst us which needs correction, that it should be a day-light business, that the end should be accomplished in a manner consistent with the American character, that they were outspoken, and gloried in the liberty of speech and the freedom of the press. He invoked all denominations and all classes of people to show bv the constitution, that they had a perfect guarantee against encroachment from any quar ter. He should stand by it, not for the benefit of one sect or class, but for the sake of all. The laws organizing the territories of Nebras ka and Kansas were next referred to by the Governor. He said he was well aware that this was the absorbing topic in the Northern part of the Slate. He said that officially he had no connection with the subject—it was not a part of tiie stewardship for which he must ac count, that he had not covenanted with the people to organize territories, nor to control the action of Congress on any question. He should not claim for himself any of the honor that might flow from Congressional action on this or any subject, and he did not intend to bear the re sponsibility, lor this was the work of members of Congress, and they must account for it to their constituents—that he should not ask - ject, he should most cheerfully say what he tho't about the question. He did not think his views of special importance, lor he made no pretensions to experience in national politics, that from ISIS to ISSO, however, he had given the slave ry question some consideration. That the na tional controversy growing out of the at npt to adjust the question ol slavery in the territor ies acquired horn Mexico, absorbed all other topics, and seemed lor a while to threaten the stability of our national Union. it was at that time that Gen. Cass, the patriot and statesman, proposed the doctrine ol non-inter vention—that Congress should forbear to act on the subject of slavery in the territories; and that the whole question should he referred to the people occupying the territories—that such ter ritories at the proper time should be admitted as States with or without slavery as the people might decide. He said that he thought this doctrine wise and safe. He became its advocate —that he had so said to the people in IS") I, when travelling the Stat" as a candidate. All, however, remember that he endorsed the Com promise of 1850. That he was still the advocate of the doctrine of non-intervention —that he was willing to trust the people with a question of morals or politics—tiiat he had iiu)re*Confidence in tln-ir judgment, patriotism and love of freedom than he had in that of Con gress. Indeed, if we were to believe half that is said of the impressible character of that hodv, we should be compelled to regard it as unsafe on any question. He thought the reference ot this vexed and dangerous question to the peo ple well calculated to allay the excitement, and give greater stability to our national conf 'deia- cy. And as to the extension of Slavery, he did not embrace the doctrine of non-intervention, believing that it would extend the institution— he believed just the reverse, that the tendency would be to restrict, to drive it south < f the .Missouri line. That such was his estimation of the value id the 1 nion, such his ideasufthe bles sings which it has bestowed on the American people—such the bl-ssed influence which our institutions were exercising in other parts of the world, that for one lie was willing to labor for its preservation, and ho sacrificed, if needs be, to secure its perpetuity, lis dissolution, in his opinion, would be the most horrible calamity that could belal both races—it would be a sad calam ity to the North and the South, to the master ami to the slave. He next went on to say that had it been his business to organize the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, lie should have done so in the terms ol the Compromise act ? of 1850, without disturb ing the act of 1 K'2o, fixing the .Missouri line. Whilst he-said this he was also bound in can dor to declare, that he did not believe that the policy of the territories would be different from what it will be under the present law—that he firmly believed that slavery could not extend there—that nine-tenths of the people would de cide against it—fhat the laws of Nature were not congenial t'i the institution—that some of the wisest opponents of the measure held this opinion. He said he never had and never should nsf io st remit hen the institution of slavery— that he regretted the existence of the institution as sincerely as any man, but lie had and he should maintain the clear constitutional righ's of Southern as well as those of Northern States. He should not acknowledge the overshadowing influence talked about so much whether that influence came from the South or the North. To the question by some one iri the crowd, whether slavery did not exist in the territories at til is time, he replied that it did not —that in dividual slaves might he there doing what white men directed them to do, but the institution xras not there in any lea a I form, and could not be without express local law, that it had no legal ex istence there—that the Constitution of the Uni- t-d States, in his opinion, did not curry it then —that Congress had not and could not establish it there—that it could only derive a legal e.\is tence liiiin the local law-inakin:atioii. 1.

Yesterday, when the cars arrived n£ Sttiem, in Columbiana county, from Pittsburg, a ciowd bad gathered at the depot, a despatch from Pitts burg having informed them that a slave gui was on board, under charge ol her master anil mistress. When the cars stopped-a big negro stepped into them, and accosting the girl, ask ed her if she was a slave. She made no reply, hut her mistress answered that she w as. There upon the black rultian seized her, and she, cling ing to her mistress' neck, begged most piteously riot to be torn away: but the black violently tore her awav; and in the effort bruised the la dy's neck severely, and carried the child out of the car in one arm, and flourished a revolver in the other hand, amid the plaudits of the exoited crowd. The master of the child was not just then in the car, and upon hearing of the rescue, olfereil to go before anv otiicer and execute live papers, if the girl wished to be free, leaving the matter to the girl. Hut the mob would listen to no such thing. The child's screams were heard above the tumult, begging to go back,so that she could again see her mother, who belongs to the same owner. The life of the owner was threatened,and he dare not remain over, but went on in the cars to carry grief to the mother ol the girl. This is an outrage, and the people of Cfour.! i ana owe it to themselves to wipe out the stain. That long haired, brainless, C. C. Burleigh, was on hand, and made an harrangue to the crowd.
