We notice, with deep regret, that a few of our ... ,uwru rnoiisf 10 gei up aiiotnei sectional excite ment by bitterly denouncing Col. Frazer, and pursu ing a course calculated to drive bitn forever from the Democratic party! Now, we are no aaoibgist of Col. Frazer'.—he has certainly acted badly in years gone by, and how many thousand are there amongst us who have not done likewise ? If every Democrat in Pennsylvania (especially prominent Democrats) who bave worked into the hands of the common ene my at some time in their lives, were driven from our ranks, there would beaterrible.ver/c; >/<s/, and 110 mis take ! Frazer has had bis faults, and, notwithstand ing lie has not been a very warm friend of ours for several years, we must say he possesses a noble, gen erous, manly heart. He is a bitter enemy, but a warm Ineud—and, taking all thing, together, proba bly he has been as much sinned against has he ha* Mlined. We are tola that he laitbfully supported the Democratic Party last tail. It so, let him betieated as a Democrat should he. He is no candidate lor of fice, and we presume will not he, until be has satis fied the Democracy that he has fully and emphatical ly returned Io the laith he once so dear.} cherished and -o eloquently defended. Some of his thrilling speeches even yet seem to ring 111 our ears. In connection w iih Colonel Frazer, the Philadel phia. Argus is also artayed tor execution, because he did not join the Know-Nothings last year in ibeirabuse of Gen. CAMERON. Nov.', in this particular, the Bed lord (lazriit stood precisely u|x>n the same platform with the Argus— and, until the Kirkpatrick letter made its appearance, had we been a member of the legislature, we should have voted for Cameron a gainst any man the Know Nothings presented, had we been constrained to make choice between them. We would only have done so, however, alter discovering that that party had the power to By the Kirkpatrick Letter, Gen. Cameron deliber ately read himself out of the Democratic Party, and thus tne matter ended, and is so understood by every true Democrat in the Common wealth. The Argus has been an able champion in the cause of Democra cy, and if such Journals are to be lead out of the De- j mocratic Party because they happen to disagree with j others about some mere individual, a sorry state of 1 things will follow in the train. We hope better \ councils will prevail, and r.o internal warfare be permitted to fasten itself upon our Commonwealth I on the eve of the Presidential election. THE ttEPIBLIIIX MOVEAIEW. would direct the esjwcial attention ! of the C/tambcrsburg Whig to the following sentences which we extract from a long article in the Philadelphia News (K. N.) of last Satur day on tire sutject of the " Republican alias, abolition movement, which a large portion of the opposition, headed by Col. McClure, (we presume with the approval of Gov. POLLOCK, ior he, (McClure) is one of tJie confidants,) have started in Pennsylvania. They are strong and to the point. The Editor, whilst he brands the Republicans as wicked and reckless in their movement, declares that, if their " object be accomplished, the I nion would practically be dissolved ? The "Republicans" we have in BEDFORD, might r< ad these sentences, too, with profit, coming as they do, from the pen of one whom they have always delighted to honor lor his uncompromising enmity 1o the par ty. We said, in the last Gazette, that the man who would urge this movement, could be con sidered in no other light than a traitor to his country, and now we have the declaration fuliy endorsed by a paper recognized as the leading organ of the Party supporting the Administra tion of Gov. Pollock, and that portion of the j Whig party acting with the Know Nothings. — j Freemen, awake, or the BLOODSHED and j DESPOTISM now pervading a Foreign land, j will soon be your doom! Read the following j | from the paper above alluded to. "Tile Republican movement has proved a i miserable failure. Nowhere has it even risen j to the dignity of a respectable organization, | except in the State of' Ohio, and its overwhei ' tning and ignominious defeat in Massachusetts I must be regarded its death-blow. Hervalter ! it will be a mere faction." "We can have no feeling in common with a party organized for such objects and purpo ses, nor has it the remotest chance ever to gain the ascendancy in this State. Much as ! The people of this State are opposed to Sla very. they will vet never thus unite to make a sectional party. They regard such a move ment, as we do, as wicked and reckless . for they know and feel that if the object aimed at were accomplished, the Lnion would be practically dissolved. It was just such sec j tional division, embodying sectional prejudices, I and rousing sectional animosities, that the great | Washington saw as the chief danger to the fo ! tore of this country, and with prophetic ear nestness and solemnity he warned his coun trymen against it.' Whig. | H7"Our friend, Col. MCCCPKE, of The Chambers- I burg Whig, in flatly hading out of the position he i assumed on the Adjutant General Question, says that J two weeks ago the Bedford Gazette " maliciously ! praised him This is quite as gross an error, Colo ■ nel, as you committed in contending that Gov. POL • LOCK was superior to the laws and the Constitution ol Pennsylvania, by culling upon him to disregard and | treat with contempt the decision of the highest Court i in the Commonwealth. Now, the Gazette never praised you, Colonel, for we are not aware that you possess any personal charms calling for "praise" Irom any (juarler. Jr. the No. of the Gazette alluded to, (in which we re-published from the Whig of Oct. 1", a rich rarricatmc. of Know Nothingism, Iroai the pen of the said Colonel, wherein he treated the K. N. party to ail the rulictde they merited,) we praised "THE COURSE" taken by hirn on this particular subject, and said we were willing to forgive him lor all the billingsgate he had ever uttered against us personally —an opinion we most cheerfully re-alfirrii at this present writing. Arid, in conclusion, we wished the (now) Afritan-lovi ng Colonel, "health, a long lite> and a I'.the pleasures and comforts this world can af ford, and great prosperity in all things, token engaged in as goori and as pure a cause as aiding to crush out an oatb-bound secret political organization." How you could construe this language into praise of yourself, Colonel, we are at a loss to conceive.— We were led to believe, Irom the tenor ot the articles in your paper for a period of six months, or more, that you had become an honest politician, lor which we praised your "course," and we would do the very same thing with any other man in the land who would exhibit the same signs of repentance that you did. Gur motto is to give every man his due, no matter what his politics. We will not condemn that mai WHICH ts wrong lor tne nest Irteni! we bave in the world. Col. .McClure stigmatized Know-Xoth ingism for every thing that was vile, throughout the enttie compaign, and, as his opinions accorded entire ly with our own, and those of the Democratic Party at large, we applauded them and gave them a place in the columns of the Gazette, and have no hesitation in saying that the articles he wrote and published done as much to awaken the people to a sense of the danger to be apprehended from the acts ol these mid night conspirators ns those of any other paper in the State, and certainly had moie effect with Whigs than any Democratic paper could have had. If the " Volley Spirit'* can see any thing like a "plaster" m approving the "COURSE"' of a Whig Newspaper in steadily directing its lire, throughout an exciting campaign, against the enemies of the De mocratic Party, the Editor must wear spectacles that magnify strangely. It the " lici " was intended as a pun, it was decidedly a flat one lor a man of COOPER'S talents to perpetrate, and so considered by Critics in this quarter who read his paper. The Colonel says we called him a "lunatic," he know ing the statement to be a deliberate misrepre sentation. In alluding to bis vulgar criticism of a Decision of the Supreme Court, without even having seen the argument, according to his own admission, we remarked, that in "some countries " the mart who would attempt to criticise a paper without haviri" reader seen it, would be considered a lunatic-—and we now say that any man who will do so cannot full short of the staodard of a malicious slanderer. The Colonel admits that we are now Adjutant j Gerieial. having given the "requisite Bond," and yet, j in the very face of this fact he demanded that the I Governor should make a removal! He says further ! that the Governor has the power to remove, when i ever, in his opinion, the officer has ban faithless | True—but the Governor, unfortunately for himself, Col. McClure, and the interests of ins friend, Mr. i Power, failed to show any thing that presented the semblance ol faithlessness, and consequently the law j of the land reversed the Executive proceedings! ! i The Co!, has riot told us what he thinks of making { the Adjutant General elective by the People.

WE It TREATY ANNULLED. WASHINGTON, NOV. 9. i We have stirring intelligence Irom Europe, .Mexi co and Central America. The Government have re ceived the full correspondence between our Minister in London and Lord Clarendon, on the conflicting in terpositions of the Clayton and Bulwer Treaty. The general result is, that the celebrated arrangement is no more. It is by mutual agreement, or rather dis agreement, explained away. It has disappeared in a cloud of construction, and is repudiated by common consent. In the negotiation upon this question, both Mr. Marcy and Mr. Buchanan have put forth their highest ability, and have shown themselves perfect masters of the art of diplomacy—more than a match in fact for Clarendon and Palmerston combined, the latter being, perhaps, the most acute ami adroit in Europe, not excepting the German veteians, Metter nich and Ness*!rode. Mr. Buchanan writes that the British Government, being pressed by him, under instructions, to give a ! distinct answer to these demands of the American ! Government, has replied that she rejects them, with* ■ out qualification. • Arrest f Judge kaue. 1 Abolitionists have given another evidence of their 1 want ol confiiieni-p in the ju-tice of their actions, by ! their recent arrest of Judge KANE. while on a visit to ius wards in Delaware county. The Judge, we be lieve, is the administrator of the e.-tate of the late SAMI KL. LEIVKU, of Delaware county, and guardian of his children. A day or two since, he paid a v isit -to the lamily in that county, in reference to matters connected with the estate. Whilst sitting at the breaklast table, lie was arrested by a Deputy Sheriff of Delaware county, at the suit of P.iss.noaE VVn.- iLi AM SON. He had piobahly been tracked from l'hila i delphia by some of the Underground Railroad Com mittee, whose business hitherto has been to steal ne i groe- in a clandestine manner, and after working trtem ! nearly to death on their own, or their friends farms, j cha-ing them awav penniless, when they asked for j money, with trie cry that "their masters were in the : neighborhood looking after them." The Judge must J have been under a complete state of surveillance by "! the Abolitionists, as his visits to Delaware county i art not very frequent. But why arre-t him in that | County, and not in Philadelphia ? In the latter, a ' ! majority of the State Judges entertain free soil prin . 1 cipies, and us his suit tor damages could be tried ■ • either in the Common Pleas, District or Nisi Prius I Courts, he had a tair chance to have an Abolitionist ' to preside, selecting that Court, and that term, which j would best suit bis purpose. Each Judge has his ! period to preside, and no one knows this tact better i | than PASSMORH WILLIAMSON and his friends. Why, . | then, select Delaware county as the place to try the I merit of his case I Is he convinced of his own ; wrong-doing, and afraid to trust his friends and neigh i hois ! Or is it because he expects to have an Abo. | Ittionist Judge and jury in the lower county, to try , ! his cause ' Has lie had such assurance from the Sher i itf or County Commissioners, who draw the jurors, or from the Judge who must try the cause, i; tried at 1 I all in that county .'

But where it appears, | as it does in his arrest in Delaware county, while on 'I a visit connected With fiduciary business that a ; scheme has been planned to obtain a verdict against ! j the Constitution, through him, to be herpafter quo t j ted'as a precedent, would Judge KANE be doing jus j tice to the South and to the friends of constitutional ! right everywhere, to permit the cause to be tried in ! j Delaware County, if the fanaticism of WILLIAMSON • | and his friends should push its trial ? We think not, , | and feel that we speak the sentiment of the great i mass of the community. It appears to us that Judge 1 ; KAMI IS bound, even as a defendant, to see that no I undue advantage b taken of the law and constitu- I tioriiil privileges, by prowlmg Abolitionists, who so . much dread a verdict of the people at home, that they track their victim to a distant place wi secret in order to secure bun, as they are in the habit of bur j rowing in darkness when about to steal other people's i property. There are various modes of having his j liability to WILLIAMSON tested, and we strongly in cline to the opinion, that it is Judge KAMI'S duty to { have it tried in that Court, and in such a manner, as a- will nearest approach a constitutional decision. i The rahif.s of the Abolitionists must be either killed | or cured.

A Third Bridge Gone on the Pacific Bail road. | FEUTIIF.R PARTJCCRAKS OF Tilt: GREAT DISASTER. | [From the St. Louis Democrat, Nov. 5.J Fatality seems to attend this road. The ter | t ible loss ot life and the large number of wound i ed by the falling ol the Gasconade Bridge had ! scan elv been reported to the city, btdore a train j was despatched to the relief of the sufferers. j j By the earnest, energetic efforts of a few brave ; | men who remained at the scene of disaster, the ; ; sufferers where relieved, and the dead were j taken out from the wreck of cars. Scarcely, , however, had the mournful procession, bearing j the mutilated bodies, proceeded hall way in its j return, when, ori reaching the bridge at Bceufi' Creek, amidst the darkness ol night and the horrors attending such a progress, that also was swept away by tbe flood, just as the uninjured had passed over, and while the cars containing the wounded were in the act of going upon the iiail structure. A wonderful Providence seemed to have pro tected the sufferers. Tbe tide carried every thing before it—amid the storm and the rushing of the torrent the communication between the two banks was cut oli—arid thus the dissevered train stood without the possibility of proceed ing. Those passengers who had crossed, how ever, came to the next depot, and reached this citv on Friday night. The dead and wounded were ferried over !o Washington and then placed on the cars again, and finally reached St. Lotus on Saturday evening about (> o'clock. To-day we have to record another calamity alid another disaster to this unfortunate rail road. By our reporter, who has just returned iu the steamer Keystone, we learn that the bridge at the JMoreau, four miles this side of Jefferson, gave way on Friday evening, and that structure also is now a mass of' broken fragments. This is said to have been the only !! completed bridge oil tbe whole line, and the I result that has happened only confirms what i i had been already said of those which had pre- < viously fallen. Not one has stood the test of aj I flood tide—not one hut has eodanged to a "teat j < extent, human life—while a single sjjau*\jfa'l careless arch has hurried twenty-eight of our U citizens into eternity. We are not prepared now to visit censure or . li indulge in recrimination upon those who have - e caused all these disasters. We have no wish to h lacerate feelings already deeply wounded, or to j t make charges against those engaged in the con- s ..t ruction* of these pasteboard traps for human 1 | life. An investigation of the whole matter | r i will, we are satisfied, he had in due time, and ! t | until then we shall suspend continent. j r MISCELLANEOUS J The bodies of Dr. Billiard, Mr. Chappel! and c Mr. J. A. Ross, who were killed on the rail- i road were taken from the depot on their arrival s in the city on Saturday night, placed in metallic t coffins, and conveyed to the Frst Presbyterian ; Church, of which Dr. Bullard was pastor, and j they will he buried from that place to-day.— i The church had been previously draped in i mourning, and presented a sombre and solemn < appearance, indicative of the sad event which j had deprived the public and the members of that j i church of the services of a man who was res-: i pected and beloved lor his amiability and truly i Christian character. From the plate upon his i coffin we learned that he was born on June 12, j I ISO 3, and died Nov. 1, 1855. He was 52 s years of age. ; Among the wounded on the fatal train were , 'Judge Wells arid son. The noble heroism of ' Mrs. Wells was the subject of enthusiastic ad -1 miration at Hermann,on Friday. Judge Wells,] ! we are happy to say, was but slightly injured. ■ It was at first apprehended that his son would |be affected with congestion o! the brain. We| I are glad to add that this young gentleman has , ] escaped without serious harm. The miraculous escape of Wm. Tucker, the : I engineer, is especially noticeable. He was j standing beside Mr. O. Sullivan when he vi as killed. It appears that, in falling, he was caught under the locomotive, with his legs be tween that and the timbers, He remained in ] that condition for five hours, when he was ex ] tricated without material injury. I At the time of the accident, conductor Eng lish, who was unharmed, went on foot to ller i mann amidst the terrific tempest, and returned with the train of cars, which brought some three hundred persons to the city. They reach- j ed Hermann about six o'clock in the evening. A number of scoundrels, who gathered in at j the scene, were discovered soon afterwards at- j I tempting to rob the bodies of the dead. In some instances they took off even the boots from the mutilated bodies. 1 The presence of mind of the brakeman pre vented at least three cars from going over the \ . precipice. By shutting down the brakes they ! were thrown upon the side of the embarik • ; ment. : The whole y-essel work of the bridge over ' the Gasconade was carried away. Only one ; , car was left on the track, and two wheels ot s this were thrown off. r ; Mr. Melvin was found with a bowie-knife, j ' which he had on, thrust up to the hilt in his : body. He was terribly mangled. Mr. Henrv Politz was cut out of the wreck - aft> r having been buried for two hours. Mr. j ' ! Shutze was four hours in the wreck. ~ ' Tiie locomotive at the time of the accident t contained six persons. Of these three were s | killed and three saved. Henry Chouteau, Esq., was so disfigured that ' he was identified only by his invitation ticket. ! . —Philadelphia Jlrgus. From the Pennsylvania!). Tito Political Reaction of 1855. ' The results of the State elections in ISS+I - character ever witnessed in our politics. Nev -1 er before were such violent and tremendous 1 • changes in public opinion. In the first named i ! year, by a combination ofall the fanatical isms , i j and disturbing elements of society, bv appeals - to popular passion and prejudice, the Derno j cratic party of the country was buried under the weight of such teriible adverse majorities , that it seemed literally "crushed out." From , Maine to Georgia all its strongholds had been stormed and Taken, and out of some one linn-1 | en d and forty members of Congress elect, but twenty or thirty odd adhered to its apparently ; > desperate fortune. In the South, although no elections had been held, the indications were about as un promising anil threatening lo our political . friends. f)ar,k and gloomy as was the political ■ horrizon in 18+0, it was blacker and more ' 1 threatening in 1855 to every lover of well-reg- I ulated constitutional liberty. Many of the friends of the Union and of civil and religious 1 liberty looked aizast at tfie prospect before them, i Those fell political diseeses, abolitionism and I know-nothingism, had taken such deep root in the public mind that it seemed impossible to j eradicate them in time to preserve the democ- j racy, or even the integrity of this Union.— ] Sanguine and hopeful as we are in temperament, and almost unbounded as our confidence in the judgment and capacity of the people, we must confess that we shared to some extent these ap- ! | prehensions. The tactions which were rioting in triumph j over us we knew to lie the most evil and per- I nicious political organizations that ever reared | their heads in this land, and their leaders were j the most unscrupulous and infamous. Fortu ! nate it is for the country that the presidential ; election did not come iri the autumn of 185+ : i j tf it had fanaticism would have triumphed, the | constitution been subverted, and the land pro-j | bably drenched in the blood of a civil war. The two years which intervened before that event have been the salvation of the country. 1 The public mind has had time to revive from ! i its political distemper. The paroxism of pas- j sion and prejudice which caused it to cut such i absurd political tandrums has passed away, j ' leaving the patient in a more reasonable and ! ; reflecting condition. The future historian will ; always set down the result of (he election in j j 185+ to a species of political lunacy which was ; t prevalent in the land, and which for a time j f threatened the direst consequences lo the peace ! l ot the country. | a The first important ray of light which shot i athwart the political sky was the democratic j a triumph in Virginia in May, 1855. That was] t the Hag-ship of the democratic, fleet, which had i never yet struck her colors, and the capture of I which would give the hosts of tanaticism ami c error a complete ant! final victory. With the loud vaunt of anticipated success, they rolled down upon her, and prepared to scale her here tofore invincible bulwarks. Clear and shrill | was the note of defiance given by her demo-; cratic crew and their gallant leader, Henry A.a Wise. When the smoke of the contest had C cleared away, the banner of democracy and of li civil and religious libeity was still floating from j I the mast-head of the old dominion amid thun- tl dering cheers, while the hosts of bigotry were] it falling back, routed and discomfittcd, toward ! the North. After this glorious and brilliant result tin? po litical sky began rapidly to clear off, the black elements of fanaticism to disappear from the heavens. The tide commepced running against | the enemies of democracy's resistless as it had t set in their favor in 1854. Everywhere their j legions encountered defeat—their majorities , melted away. North Carolina, staunch and j true, responded to the voice of Virginia, and , rolled up eight thousand democratic majority, j Johnson, democrat, after a desperate stiuggie, < carried Tennessee by two thousand majority.— Alabama came thundering with eleven thou- | sand for the cause of civil and religious liber ty ; and th>* fiieiids of Democracy carried Tex- • as bv seven or eight thousand. Illinois had j previously been redeemed, in June, by a major ity amounting to many thousands. Kentucky, the "dark and bloody ground," was only carried by our opponents after the perpetration of attrocities at Louisville that made humanity shudder, and which strongly contributed to roll with a mightier impetus the democratic ball that was sweeping the country. Maine gave fanatcism a Waterloo | blow in what was considered its impregnable ! stronghold by electing a democratic Governor ' and legislature by a sweeping majority. Geor gia, the Empire State ot the South, lias come to the rescue with a democratic Governor by ten thousand majority, six democratic members ol Congress and a democratic legislature. Indi ana—staunch and Union-loving Indiana-—has lowered the black flag of isms and iun up Un democratic standaid, with the shoots and the approbation oi the vast majority <>! her popula tion. Pennsylvania the ''keystone ol the arch," has bent brought back to her position, and the democratic fabric now rests on a solid luuu dation. The democratic success in Pennsylvania is the most important demonstration yet, and des troys every hope the allied army ot intoller ! a rice and bigotry may I rave had of carrying the ! presidential election in !85ti. \\ itliout the ' mighty voice of old "Perm," the election of an abolition Governor in Ohio will be but a barren j I sceptre in there grasp. Let us now post the ' book of the elections in 1855. The follow ing are the democratic States : ! 1 Electoral votes Virginia, 15 10,000 North Carolina, 10 8,000 Illinois, 11 20,000 Tennessee, 12 9,000 Alabama, 9 11,000 !
