Every true patriot will regret the approach of inleatino difficulties, bnl yet the come quenoes will real with thoao South Carolina traitors who have dared to put the authority of our govern menl at defiance. Should this slop of South Carolina make civil war necessary, it will require belli alaleamanahip and heroic determination on tho part of tho President of the United Staten to bring tho difficulty to a speedy and successful termination, Whether Mr. Fillmore will bo equal to the crisis, remains to bo seen. Wo fear, howevqr, he is not tho man -for the occasion. It would be most fortunate for our country - if a Jackson occupied the Presidential chair at this time. He would soontoaoh these South Carolina fools and traitors that they could not, with impunity, put tho authority oftbo government at defiance. Ho would soon take the starch out of their collars.

DlGifißt Sentiments, such as are expressed by the Sun- 1 bury Gazelle in the following article, pervade eve ry part of the Stale. The unanimity of the Demo cratic parly in its choice of for Gov ernor, presents him to the people without a division. With the Democracy of Pennsylvania united as they now are, what chance have the opposition 1 Cor.. Dmt.tß._We never knew a candidate for a public office sc popular with the mass of the Democratic parly as this’gentleman. There is hardly a dissenting voice against him—ho appears to have absorbed the affections of the entire party, and left but a secondary position in the popular favor of his competitors, for the station in which his friends appear determined to place tilin'. Wo do not open a Democratic exchange without seeing ey tdent signs of a decided preference for Bigler— His name stands at the head of their editorial bol omns, and in those columns, are sentitoents ex pressive of warm attachment to him, who is deci dedly the people’s candidate. We.also hear of h™nn e,n v ß i Bta i Hsho - lh,ou B h ctrt the length and breadlli of . the State, for the purpose of securing luS election—cf meetings assemWed.'enthusiaslic to his favor, and among the rank and-file of the parly, we can perceive a settled determination to place at the head of our good old Commonwealth, this sound Democrat, who is equally-distinguished l for his talents as for his integrity. W 4 have'oon-1 versed with many sterling Demooraliof our neigh borhood, and without a single exception, we find that Col. Bigler is. the man of their choice, and with him as their leader and candidate, they feel confident of a glorious triumph in October next— No other man inspires universal confidence in the Democratic ranks. True it is, there are many other men in oar parly who could be successful at the next election for the gubernatorial chair. De mocratic principles must.lriuraph under the leader ship of any good.man—but Bigler pre-eminently can satisfy the entire Democratic parly, and secure the overwhelming majority of former days. “PIUNCIPZ.es, sot mbs.m Tho Washington Union is certainly, ono of the ablest Democratic journals in line country.

The country is agitated from Maine to the Rio Grande. Geographical divisions are forming, which, if not frowned down, will impair, ifnot destroy, the con stitutional and just influence of the’federal govern ment. Fanaticism in one section provokes the threat of secession and disunion in another: and various other influences of sad portent to the har mony and prosperity of the country are at work, which nothing can so certainly restrain as a return to tho principles on which Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson, administered the government. Those great statesmen rallied tho people by their love of the constitution and by a policy which treated alike all the equal members of the confederacy I hey abstained from tho exercise of.all doubtful federal powers, and used those only which were clearly granted in the manner calculated to avoid secliona l injustice and to remove local complaint. dear it to“ upt“'° ‘" d A PEAUri/Ii riOTURB*' We find the following in the presentment of the ;raml jury of Philadelphia county. It is a fearful piolure of the evils inflicted by 'intemperance, though but a repetition of what we have before heard from other juries and the judgej of the court. The appeal to the legislature is, wo fear, of little uses all these things were placed before them at their late session, and their aid and .Interference invoked to slay the tide of crime and wretchedness that was sweeping over the city, in petitions sign ed by thousands of tho citizens, but invoked in vain.

The most important feature of the foreign news bj the Niagara is,that which relates to Franco,— M. Leon Fauoher, one of the President's now Ministers, has In terms declared to the. Assembly that Louis has an intention to serve his country a little longer than his constitutional term of office allows Mm. fho Chamber, it is said, received this announce ment with, an ironical lough. M. St. Deaiive at ■once mounted the tribune, and said that the re-ap pearanoa of throe leading members of the Ministry who had previously been condemned by the As sembly, was the most glaring defiance that was to be, found in tho.parliamenlary history of France or of any olhey country, and at once moved a direct vole of want of confidence in an order of , the day. M. Paucher made a firm, but wary reply, begging for lime to wait for the acts of the Ministry, “be fore the majority condemned the principles of the ministry;” and the order of the day being called for, was carried, after a ballot, by 327 against 275, Ving a majority of only 42 in a house 0f'602 members. About 30 Legitimists dame to the res. cue of the new Ministers! 60 members stayed away, amongst Whom tvera M. Thiers, Changar mer, Dufaute, Kemusat, Benyer, and Lamartine. Count Mole, do Broglie, and Odillon Barrot gave then votes to the new Administration. M. Leon Faocher, ills thought, will adhere to the electoral law of May, whilst there is every reason to believe that he will propose a revision Oflho Constitution In some shape, so as, to prolong the powors-of the President. That, in ail probability, will ba the signal for a conflict of some kind, for which all parlies at present seem to bo industriously prepar ingfor. “The partisans of the President {wo are told) I ara at work in the provinces, gelling up petitions moving tbs Assembly lo revise the Constitution,!

A Man Dropt rnour the Ct.oima._Tho Euro, pean papers give *n account of a man now in Prussia, who protends t 0 be a native of Laxaria situated in a part of the world hitherto unknown to us, called Sakria, This now division is sepa. from the rest of 11.0 globe by great oceans. The story, as current in Berlin, and given in the bnglish papers, is that ho was first seen in a vil lage, near Frankfort-on-tba-Oder. In appearance he is like a common European, and has common! caled With the people in very bad German, but the manner in winch ho learned what ho knows of tlto language is not explained. Upon being question ed ho managed to tell, tbo name of his country, as stated above, and also his name, which is Jophar vorin. Ho speaks and writes two new languages; one the Laxarian, which, ho says, is the vulgar longue of his country , and the Abramian, which is the language of the priesthood. His countrymen aro civilized, professing the Ipsatlan religion which is a branch of Christianity,—or, rattier Christianity itself, »m form and doctrine;” and in their geographical system, they recognize five di visions of the globe, under the names of Ailar, Aalar, Ausiar, Euplar, and Sakria. According to his story, he left Laxaria in quest of a long-lost brother! but had the misfortune to be shipwrecked somewhere—-vt here bo' docs not know, after which he made his way—how he does not know—to Eu rope, to Germany, and then to ibo.Jillle village near Frankfort, where ho was picked up, or first 1 attracted notice. He has been shown maps and 1 asked to point out where his country lies, but he 1 is unable to give any satisfaction on this point. One Would think that such a transparent impos tor would immediately fall to tbo ground, hut if we may believe common report, the Stranger was treated with groat respect by the learned in Frank fort-on-the-Odef, and has since been sent to Ber lin, where ltd lias caused much talk among literary and scientific men Slave Case at San Fbanchco —Wo mentioned, a day or two ago, says tho Public Ltdgtr, that a fugitive slave case was uhder oxamioslion.
