most intering subject; it will' command at
tention by the clearness and power with
which that subject is diecuesed—a subject,
let n add, which has assumed a most serious,
if not momentus, aspect:
ASIIINGTON, Aug. 26, 1817.
Gs; memex.--4 have beenlionored by , the
receipt of your kind invitation to unite
the Democracy of Old Berke in their Harvest
Home celebration; - to be held at Reading' on
Saturday, 28th inst. • I sholld "esteem it both
a pleasure and a privilege to be present' on
that interesting occasion; it is, therefore, with
regret I have to inform you, that my pUbile
durie,s during the present %leek will render
this impossible.
I rejoice to observe that the Ilierious, de
mocracy of "Old Berke are buckling on their
armor, and preparing for the approaching
contest. It is long since any state election
has involved such important consequences
fur the deinusracy of the Union, as the ap
proachibg election for Governor of Pentis,yl
- Oa its result may probably depend
the aecondency of the democracy of thelUn
ion for years to come. Hence our democrat
ie brethren of other:states are witnessing the
contest with intense anxiety. The field is a
fair , one; our candidate well tried, able; and
honest; and he has been regularly nominated
by the party. Should he be defeated, the at
tern?t svilrbe vain te explain the decision oV
the ballot-boxes, in any other manner time, by
admitting that the whip h ave the' majority.
Our caudidate for Canal COmmiseioner
also, above all reproach, both per - sonallY and
politically, and is eminently qualified fur the
duties of that important office.. It, undersucli
circumstances, the democratic KeeStone
should give way, there is great danger; that
the rirch may tumble into pieces. In this
contest, emphatically, he that is not fir lisle
against us. Ido not apprehend defeat,' un
our wily foe should first lull us into secu
rity by making no extraordinary public ef
forts; end then at the eleventh - hour, trii - etly
steal a march on us, as they , have dime in
some other states. Our vigilance ought to be ,
constantly on - the alert, until the moment of
victory.
The, -st' - f slaukr..
he qeestion of slautbry, in im., of its an- I
cient aspects, line been recently revived and ,
threatens to convulse the country. _ ,The
D,Anocratic party of the Union ,aught to , pre
pare themselves iri time for the approaching '
storm. Their best security, in the hoUr of
danger, is to cling t o their time-honored principlei. A sac regard for the Federal
constitution, and foie the reserved rights \ill
the States, is the inunovable basis on which
the parq can alone safely rest. This has
sated us from the inroads or abolition.—
Nokhern D.Mtocrats are not expected to ap
prove-slavery in-the abstract: hitt they owe
it to theinselres, as they value' the Union,
and all the political blessings which bounti
fully flow frwn i't to abide by the compro
mises of the constitution, and leave the gees
lion, 'where that instrument has left it to the
State, wherein slavery exists our fathers have
made this agreement w . hit their I , hrethren• of
the South; a t nd it is not fur the descendants
of either parfy, , in the present generation, to
cancel this solemn compact. The abelition
ists, by their efforts to annul it, have arrested
the natural progress of emancipation, I and
done great injury, to the' laves themselves.
After Louisiana was acquired from France
by Mr. Jefferson, and when the,state of Mis
souri, whiCh constituted,a part of it, was
about to be admitted,intanhe Union, the Mis
sburi question arose, and in its progress
,threatened the, dissolution of the Unioe.
Thia was settled by the men of the last gen
eration, as other important and dange ous
qeestiOns have been settled, in a spirit of-
u
,11
tual concession. Under the Missouri corn
*romise, slavery _was "forever prohibited"
north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 min.; slid
south of this parallel the question uas left to
be`decided by the people. Congress, in, the
adinission of Texas, following in the foot
steps f their predecessors, adopted the some
rule; and, in my opinion, the harmony of 'the
stateS, and even the security of the enion it
self, require that theLline of the Missouri
compromise should be,extended to any new
territnry which we may acquire from Mexico.
1 should entertain the •same opinion, even
if it Were certuin that this wo.ald beconle a
serious practical question; hot that it never
can be thus considered. must be evident tri all
who have attentively examined the subject.
Neither the soil, the climate, nor the pro=
auctions of, that port ion of the Californias
1 south'or36 deg. 30 min., nor indeed of 6ny
1 portion of it, North ortittuth, is adapted to
slave labor; and, beside,svery facility would
-be there afforded to the slave to escape from
tiis master. Such property would be utterly
{morally
in any part of California. It is
i piorally impossible, therefore, that a majority
of the c migrants to that portion of the territo
ry south of _:35 deg. 30 rain., , which will
itiielly,eom - posed of our fellow-citizens from
f ri e Eastern, Middle, and Western States, will
, ever re-establish slavery within its limits.—
I In regard tO. New Mexico, east of the Rio
',Grande, the question lias been a lready_settled
h . y; the admission of Texas into the Union.,
'Should we ticquire territory beyond the
-00 Grande, an: East of the Reeky Moon
-tam c. , s, i i
it sti ll
more improoab,e - that a major
ity of the people of that_ region would con-
Alm to re-establish slavery. They are, them
saves, in a large proportion, a• colored popu
lation•, and among them, the negro does not
socially belong tp a degraded race.
The question Is, therefore, not one orprac
tlcal importance. Its agitation, however hon
estly intended, can produce, no effect but to
alienate the people of different portions of the
Union from each other; to excite sectionaddi-
visions and jealousies and to distract and pos- 1
sibly de,fioy the democratic payry, on the as-
c@itiency of whose prineittsf•atid measures)
depends, as I firmly believe, , the success of
our grand experiment of selF-government.
"Such have been my individual opinions, ,
openly and freely expressed, ever since the
commencement of the present unfortunate
agitation; and Ar all the places in the world,
I prefer to put them on record before the in
corruptible democracy of Old Berks. I there-.
fore beg leave to offer you the following sen
timent: •

riotic letter of the Hon. James Buchanan, to

vision in the Constitution "prohibiting the
Legislature from 'authorizing extra compen

judicious provi- ion, but which will be su re to

against the "impracticability" of the new
Constitution.
rine rrosA Teas
We were in luck this week—especially in
the Tea,lirie. Two samples of Tea from the
Canton Tea Company were laid upon our ta
ble fditorial, and' frrim there speedily trans
ferred to our tea-table. There appears to be
two establishments in town claiming the agen
cy for these teas, T. \V. Moore, No. li-Perry
Block, and Willituris & Wright, earner of
State street and the Public Square. B?th of
them have the teas on hanlan I bOth, we poubt

A Good Law.
The Democratic legislature of New liafnp
shire has passed a law to preyent the owners
of factories from exacting more than ten hopp
labor each day from persons in their employ.
We think this is perfectly right.
Tho Way it is 1 ono
The following from the Sauduskey Mirror,
shows the malts opernndi adopted by the
Ohio Bankers, "under their General Banking
law, to manufacture a specie basis for their
•paner. The Mirror well says .it beats Wild,
Cat banking, and allows them six:
"The corruption and underhanded manage
ment of the board of control and some leading
bankers in Ohio, from nil we cart learn by
what leaks out, were never beftire equalled,
not even in the palmiest days of Wild Cat
Thinking. We predict a magnificent explo
sion onv of these days when the People will
be sitindled to the tune of millions. As a spe
cimen of the real capital empinyed in creating
these new banks, we learn that the sianie spe
cie was used for the organization of three dif
ferent bunks, in as munv dTerent places with-.
in the past two weeks." '
Farmer's and mechanics of Pennsylvania—
honest men of all professions and callings.:—
the approaching contest will &dile whether
a system like that shadowed forth in the
above, shall be fatencd upon the common
lwealth, or .not. The friends of Gen. Irvin
openly proclaim their determination to enact
a General Banking law, should they be so for
tunate as to elect him, and obtain q. majority
in both branches of the Legislature. The'
Democracy on the contrary are pledged both
by their past opposition and the well known
and oft repeated views of their candidate, to
war against every system of banking which
does not make the stockholder individually
liable, in all his properly, for the notes'and
other liabilities of the batik. Choose ye, then
between them!
-An Indian Humbug
The science of (=thuggery we thought
entirely confined to the white race, but it ap
pears -we were mistaken. The Cherokee Ad
vacate says, a young girl of the Creek mart
recently fell into a tronce, and lies since been
prupheoying to the tribe. She says that - while
in this inanimate state she held communion
with invi.ible spirits, who learned her a song
which asings with great beauty and bffect.
She'llas predicted one or two deaths which
have come to I pass, and told from her own
feelings of a murder, at the vary time it was
committed nt a distance of several miles from
her home. She Was also purchased bor burial
clothes, foretold at what time her death would
take place, and certain signs which would
'then be seen, and from which the world could
judge of the sincerity of her protestations and
the truth of her revelations.
A Crumb cf Comfort.
The Cbionicle has found a crumb of com
fort in the return of Paredes to Mexico, and
the "declaration loy the British g4erinnent
that it would continuo to recognize l the pres
ent Mexican authorities or government if, af
ter withdrawing from the city of Mexico, they
should 'wander forty years in the wilderness."
/int] yet, this Is an old and accredited organ
of that party. which claims that it is not op
pesed to the war, but to the "villainous'and
bungling authors of it," meaning the admin
istration. Ott,. humbuggery, thy name is le
