JXiimicnu BY JOHN B BRATTON . VOL. 38. 3J}oltttCaL Address of (he STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, jTo 'the Pcnphfif Pennsylvania:: Fellow-Oitizens—Tlio' Coptral .Committee, nppointedby_the*Democralic Convention, which assembled at'Reading on thodlh of June last, have tosolvcd to.address you on some of the questions \vhich ore to be decided at- the next general elec tion. We approach the performance of this duty \vilh, wo trust, a proper sense of the responsibility It imposes upon us, and with a full determination neither to exaggerate the importance of the issues now ponding before you, nbr to use any arguments which are in the least unfair. The effect Which our election in this Slate may have on the Union of the States, and bn the great interests of the wholo rcouhtry, will I .claim bur at tention first—because this is a consideration which transcends all others in magnitude.. Wo solemn ly believe that the re-election of Gov. JOHNSTON Would bo fraught with danger to. the peace of the country, and with consequent ruin to our .com merce, foreign and domestic; while we arc equally well dsfeured that the election.of .Col. BIGLER .would.bo everywhere hailed, by all true* patriots, -as a proof that our good old State, ever loyal to •tho 7 Oonslituiion, Is'etill Vs true ns steel .to the great principles for which our fathers shed their blood.' f ' . The Constitution of the-Uniled States is a most ingenious piece of, workmanship. The wisdom, displayed in the organic structure of our whole system, *l9 only equalled by the patriotism .which induced all 'the States, severally, to give up wliat was necessary for the general good. One great principle pervades the whole, instrument; and that is, that each Slate, witbip her own sphere, is ab solutely epverelgn/tmd-free.to do precisely as she pleases in regard to her own internal concerns.— Any inlstference of the people of one Slate with the domestic affairs of another,is not only uncon stitutional and unlawful, but it is sure to bo bitter ly resented as indecent. Pennsylvania shams as largely in this spirit as her sisters;-and would re buke intermeddlers in her business as sternly as any of them. This condition of things makes it absolutely necessary that the States should abstain from all impertinent Interference with one another; or else the harmony which is neqpssary to the per potuily.of the Union, will "be'broken up ami de* ► etroyed. When kindness of feeling, and confidence in one another, have once disappeared, the Uniffh will not last very long—for if cannot be held together by force or fear. Tlie Czar of Russia may fame his Polanders with the knout—the Empe ror of Austria may reduce Hungary to submission by murdering men and scourging womcn--rnf»d the British Government may-keep. Ireland in subjec tion by slarvatioiuand ihe bayonet—but' if the, States of this Union cajinol remain united, without such appliances, they will inevitably separate.— We are united by moral ZiVs—not held-ln reluctant connection by means of physical power. - Our feel ings of fraternal kindness—our reciprocal justice and regard for one another's rights—ourvoneralion foe! the name of oiir' cojpmpn father,., the grpaJ Washfngton—our rccjnectlon or the revolutionary blood rhingfeU logeltfeVln the’samo fields by the men of all sections—our love of liberty— our pride of empire—the boundless commercial prosperity which the Union will give ns, and the shuddering consciousness that an unspeakable ruin awaits us if that Union is broken up—these are the bonds of our common brotherhood, and when these are once severed, the Union will cease to ex ist, as surely as the planetary system would fall into confusion if the law of attraction were anni hilated. To preserve them in all their force is the most sacred duty we owe to ourselves, to our coun trymen, and to our children. . Negro slavery does not exist in tho northern States, while In lhe southern Stales the people have not determined Id abolish it. This difference In bur domestic Institutions htfa given rlsoto dls oussions whicb, at different times, have threatened us with serious danger. The people of Pennsyl vania have never lent a favorable ear to the aboil lion agitators. - Wo aro thankful that wo have nothing to do with slavery, and that Providence has thrown the whole responsibility, of dealing with that difficult ami dangerous subject upon the Slates where it exists. Wo cannot intermeddle in It without Constitution, and, if wo could, we would north has the numeri cal force which enables her, at all limes, to com Irol every branch of the United States Government, Executive and. Legislative. We Ought, therefore, to behave with the magnanimity which becomes fho stronger party. If nothing else would prevent ns from taking an unworthy advantage of our strength, a proper sense of self-respect and digni ty should restrain us. The south is powerless for any, purpose of aggression upon us, and has no protection but the Constitution, unless she resorts to a revolutionary remedy. t Nevertheless, (here have been men among lie, who, not regarding their constitutional duty, hut taking counsel of their evil passions, have lent all their energies tp the kindling of excitomentngainst tho south. Coarse Vituperation against all south ern men, and abusive epithets, harshly dealt upon nil northern men,who ventured to put In n plea for their constitutional rights, was the fashion of these politicians. The southern people, inconsequence* of these Incessant end bitter assaults, wore in a! elate of high excitement at the termination of the war \vith Mexico. A vast territory had been con quered, at the expense of southern,, as well as northern, blood and treasured • Tho contest which then camo on In Congress, \yae long, angry and doubtful. Tho boldest men feared, and the wiset could not foresee what might happen. • Cut acorn promise was nl length effected. This compromise consisted of five distinct measures; all of .which, except one, gave the advantage to the opponents of slavery and illo south. Bet us enumerate them; I. California was admitted into the Union, with n Constitution prohibiting slavery, nolwllhstand lug all complaints of irregularity and unjustifiable extension of her boundaries. • . . . : a. Utah and Now Mexico were organized into territories, without any change In the existing laW, which forbade slavery. . , 3. Congress agreed to purchase from lexas a largo pan of her territory, for the consideration of ten millions of dollars, and thus, removed the ter ritory, so purchased* from the jurisdiction of a slave ' 4. A law was passed abolishing the playo trade in the District of Columbia. fi. Tho fugitive, slave law was passed, None of those laws, except the last one, .was any advantage to tho or oolculaled to dp tho South any service. -The fugitive slave law they asked for in return* ond it was granted to them; solely because they were entitled ,io it hyi Inc erpress wards 0/the Constitution, To prevent any mistake, wo will transcribe from that sacred in strument the section which relates.to this sub ject. “No person hold Ip labor or service ip one Stale under the laws thereof escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein bo discharged from suoh service or labor* but shall me delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be Surely no part of the 0 ly written than this, nor no «• fined, or more easily understood, than that which it imposes. When it is recollected that a . lawyer the execution of this provision was v o//'wQ gave the South, it seems like an insult to the people to doubt that thoy wilj stand by ihe.b&rgain in all honesty and good faith. In order tu understand fully (he importance of this issue, itmust bo remembered that in most'of the southern States the old party lines,havo ( been nearly altogether obliterated, and lUb people have divided into the Union and secession parties.- The Union men assert their confidence in the justice and honor of the north, and-their belief that wo will .stand, by the Compromise, arid permit the Constitution to.bo executed. The secessionists* on the other hand, base their opposition to the Un ion on the .supposed treachery of the north, rind declare their opinion, that the fugitive slave law will bo so opposed, and its repeal or modification so loudly demanded, that-they cannot hope for quiet or peace, or justice, accordinglo ihe.measme of the Constitution. Union party is now In the majority in all the States except South Caro lina; but their enemies and the enemjcsof the Un ion, will overwhelm them with defeat, if wb de monstrate ip them,-that our loyalty to the Consti tution, and our submission to the 1 terms of the com promise, cannot be relied bn. "No wonder that all friends of the Union, whether Whigs or Democrats, are wailing for our election with, beating hearts and breath suspended! Shall wo give,the triumph to our enomies—tp those Who charged us with treachery—lb* (boss who assert that wo carried the Compromise by false pretences, and that we are not to be,trusted to execute the Constitution! Or shall we.so decidp as to sustain 1 ouj* friends who have defpmie’d : our character, and.staked iheir suc cess Upon our fidelity to the compromise! . ■ The Democracy of P’cnnsylvartia, loyal and true to the Constitution, have taken their ground in the following resolutions: Resolved, That the lime has arrived, when not only the prosperity*©? our peoplo, but tho-nreßer vation of our blessed Union, require that the De mocratic parly, in all its.measures, shall strictly and faithfully adhere to the fundamental principles established by its wise, patriotic and glorious founders; and among the most important of these principles, we may enumerate a strict donslrUclion of the Consiiluiipn of the United States—a total abstinence on theqiart of Congress, from the exer cise of alt doubtful powers—a sacred regard for the rights reserved by the sovereign Slates.of which (ho confederacy is composed—an absolute non-in terference by the people of the several States, with the domestic Institutions peculiar to each—and a rigid-economy in.the expenditure ofthe taxes rais. ediroin the people—confining the appropriations of public money by Congress to national objects, plainlyiiulhoriaod by.thn Constitution* : llesblved, That had these yita! of De mocracy been faithfully observed in tho adminis tration of tho National Government since the ad vent of tho Whigs to power on the' dlh of March, 1849; wo should not now' witness the spirit of dis cord and alienation which at present prevails be tween the North and SjJouth, on tho question of do mestic slavery—threatening ns it does eventually to dissolve the Union,. Nor should wo have to deplore the enormous appropriations of public mo ney, BppTonchWg In,o’ lime ff pence. laWlio< WH'r expehdllurc;‘and fcndungerlng atienlail upori ouV posterity dfriho fatal incubus of* perma nent national-debt... , Resolved, That tho Democratic parly of Pennsyl vania are true to the Union,.the Constitution, unrf tho laws, and will faithfully observe and execute, so fur as In thorn lies, all** tho measures of compromise , adopted by the Into Congress, for tho purpose of set tling the question arising, out of domestic slavery, and this not only -from i sense of duly as good citi zens of tho republic, but also from the kind and fraternal feelings which they cherish towards their brethren of,lho slavcholtling Stales. ifraoUm, That tho sixth suction of tho act nf tho of Pennsylvania, passed on the 3d of Mardfi, 1847, denying, under severe penally, the use of otir Stale jails for the detention of fugitive slaves, while awaiting their trial,- ought to bo expunged from our statute books, both . because it iplerpoios obstacles, by 'means of Slate Legislation,-to tho execution nf (lie provisions of tho Constitution of the United Stales, and because it is a virtual disre gard of’lho principles of the compromise, pml is calculated Seriously to endanger tho existence of (ho Union. Resolved, That in Col. William Bigler, our candi date for Governor, wo recognise a long tried, able, and faithful Democrat, in whom there is no guile, and a man, who by his own pre-eminent merit, has risen to the exalted position which ho now holds in the affection and respect of his follow.citizens. Wo hail him as the'worthy representative and ohoson standard bearer of our great and glorious principles, and pledge ourselves, to do'battle for the cause of Democracy under his banner, until wo shall achieve a'signal victory and, redeem the" Keystone Slate from (ho misrule of its present Whig Governor. Resolved , That, wo will‘cordially support the election of Sktm Clover, ns Canal Commissioner, believing him to bo an able, honest, ond.moorrupli bio Democrat, and well qualified to discharge the duties of that important and highly responsible office. Resolved, That In llio mailer of levying duties on foreign imports by the General Government, we are in favor of llio reciprocal tntciuhango of our products with the other notions of the oarlh, in con* sunnneo with the enlightened 'spirit of the ago, recognizing clearly the practice of.the Government to maintain and preserve in full vigor and safety, all the grout industrial pursuits of the country* Those resolutions form the ivyo solid columns on which the Democracy of (|io State and' nation rest, so far as this question is concerned. Lot them bo prostrated, and tbo Union itself will crumble to piocas. Col. Bigi.eh has given. sanction to the son* limonts they embody in the most unequivocal and emphatic language. . ; On the other hand, the Whig Convention, which mot at Lancaster, refused to pledge their party to an Unconditional supiptiH of the fugitive slave law. A resolution was offered to that effect, but it was voted down by a largo majoilly. ..-They norninalqi) a candidate for Governor who i was, and ,Is, openly oj>poscd‘lo It. .Gov* Johnston. In his meiiiugo Of January, 1851, took strong ground against it.' In his speech before the Lancaster Con. vontion ho declared thal lf ho had been a member of Congress ho would have voted against it. lie wont still further,' and expressed the opinion that It ought to bo ao changed aa to make U“ more oonao* nant to the, wishes of the people, moro acceptable to them, and moro conformable to truth, jUatio? and the requirements of (ho Constitution.* 1 These are the strong words in which he has chosen la assert (hat the law is /ah?, unjust, and unconstitutional--, for that is the substance of his denunciation of it. Wo do not pretend to know what ho means by the allegation that it. is not "confomalls to truth," That Washington approved a law In 1793 Identical with this In principle, Is some authority In favor of Us justice , and Ihs solemn decision of everyjudicial tribunal whore tbo question has been railed, ought to settle its constitutionality* put Mr. Johnston is opbosed to It, end, for his opposition, ho has thought proper to give obsurd reasons rulhdr than none, When wo speak of Gov. Johnston** opposition to this law, wo aro not to bo understood as saying that ho has over avowed his determination to onposo it liy foroo, ar roßiut in execution with buck.hoi and ball n. ono of hi. ptodeco.aorß oppo.od orul real,led llio election law, but wo do •««*, lll »‘ 1,0 " J!' 110 to Iho law a. It .land#, and in favor of agitating Ibr It. ropcal, and Ibuo defeating tbo groat pnrpo.ofor which It a. woll aa Iho olbot oompromi.o m«a.ar«« <mua enacted, namely, a final and peaceful »o lie ■ and dangerous subject to * ‘OURCOUN' ' • GAUMS ' Bui thitrds .not tho only evidence Gov. Johnston, has given oT;Ms disloyally to the Constitution.. A Idw was passed, by tho Legislature of in the ycar'lB47|onb'section of which forbids, under tho severest penalties tho use of the jnils for the cotu fincmonl of o-,runaway slave. At tho .lime of tl.io. passage of this.act there was no law in existence authorising ogchtfl-or commissioners of the United Slater to commit fugitives from labor to prison. It Was,"therefore, almost a dead letter on tho statute book. But, when the M fngitivb slave law ” of Sep* lembor, 1850, was passed, it was found almost im possible to execute its provisions unless this part nf the Pennsylvania statute shahid bo’repealed. Ac cordingly, the friends of tho Union, consisting of Whigd und Democrats, proposed 'its repeal early in tho lost session of tho Legislature.' The utmost in fluence of Gov. Johnston’s special.adherents was exerted to prevent the phsiage of this repealing bill, and they succeeded in stayihg.it oft* unljl^wynoar- 1 ly the close of (ho it was ■'passed; and presented lo lus approval. He ref used.to sign il ph the prejf£t''that he had not suf ficient time for reflection i IloJias nol'sigDcil'ltyol, nor has ho givon his friends any reason to liopo thal- He will e|gn il—bul on. the contrary, the abolitionist? confidently expect him to veto it, and ho as.confi dently expects their vole in consideration thereof. ;' In such waytrns these jias Governor Johnston com milled ‘himself irrevocably to tho'phrposoyof those, heartless agitators who have already driven us Ift | the verge of destruction, and who, if they aro now! backed by a majority in Pennsylvania! will plunge us into utter ruin and anarchy. ' The Governor, has attempted l to j.dirtlfy the ex; poriments ha proposes to make on the temper of the people, by’dcclaring that tho UhlQ’tiifrui Uo klnd of danger.’ Ho ridicules; scouts and sncoVs at (he idea' that the Union can possibly bo dissolved by any causo whatever. He thinks it slroijg enough to stniy) anything. In this confidence ho is very sin s gular. The'greatest) best, and wisest men in . the .country, of all parties,.have thought, and do now think, that unless justice-phd moderation prevail |n' our councils," wo are in danger.. It odo scarcely bo believed itini Wnahirigtori would have warned his countrymen against dissolution if diesolulion bad been an irapossiblo lhing. . Jackson was not apt to bcfrighloncd by «\nd il ls wcH.knpw.n. that anxiety for Iho Upion lay heavy, oh hid hcart'fpf many years of his life. Still Mr. Johpsloh is Willi*', out doubt, vcry slncorb. ,H’ : wolild v bbruhcharTtable to believe llialho would, ailvocalo. tho doctrines lie does advocate, for (ho mere sake of a few abolltioti votes, if ho could sco the effect of them as olhes see Wd are no alarmsisis.’ We, too', believe lliat' Ibis. Union will not bo dissolved; But wo base*!!)*! opinion on our (inn conviction that Gov. Johnston will bo defeated by. a largo majority. But, if'wo could boliovo that Gov; Johnston, with such dpiaidps;, as ho has expressed, and such • measures as ho;is pledged.to, could possibly bo elected, our confidence : in the safety of tbo Union would bo very much di minished. ; We have already said that public opinion in the South is dividod lie,tween adherence, to the Union' and secession from it: Tho Union men dr ft our friends, iho .frismfa'of the North, tho'fricndi of the whole country. .They. vindicate us when ouf; fume is assailed by our Ides, and boldly risk all Ihoic political hopes on oqr good faith,. Never lus any set of men rtlndo'o' braver or more successful »lrug£ glc, than the ftiiutls of Union and the cainpromhr, over mtido In alt Iho'Houthcrh SUtcsVx£eptSouUi Car* plina;- ‘ .of-Jir.b ndhero.in Uic*nnure J on;ono express* l nmrJU«l»i» that the fugi live slave law shall rcoiain on our elululo book as it is, oiid bo faithfully' executed in thp North, .’Wo venture to affirm that (hero bus never been a Stale Convention, county meeting, or any other ossein* blago of tho Union parly of Iho South, in which their adherence to tbo compromise nnd thoir contin uance in Hip Union have not been coupled with this condition. Let Pennsylvania throw, all her vast moral and political influence into the" scale of the secessionists, by* re-electing n Governor who’is op* .posed to the fngilivo slave law, and who rofuacs'tu allow the repeal of n Slate law t which obstructs its execution,and what will llid,clTecl7 It will flush hur enemies with a Irlonipir-kyhlcli nothing else could give thorn, and it will ment, humiliation, grlof, nndt>V»irthrow id Iho friends who have jong and gaPanll/ fBogl»t«for. us nnd -for thdtlnion. ? Would to God Iho Union'wore not in danger I But if. Gov, Johnston's rc-oloclion would not pol it ic very great danger, then aro the.most solemn declarations of'nll parties in Iho South but as-sounding bruts and a tinkling cymbal, nnd (he recorded opinions of tho Wisest statesmen in all sections arid of all political creeds more idle fun* cics. . Remember, fellow that . Col.' Bioler’s election will hold up tho hands 'and strengthen (ho arms “of tho Union men. Remember also that Gov. Johnston’s success will verily tho charges which tho secessionists make against us, and probably give them tho ascendancy in-evory Slate where the issue has been made. . Supposing tho latter event to occur, nnd a dozen Stales join South Carolina, how is tho Union to bo preserved 7 Wo leave your imagina tions to till out the picture. Rut surely np one who has sense enough to. know his right hand frpm.his loft, can fait to see that in that case there would, be gin such trouble os we have never scch* ycl.— Whether it would end in civil war or in peaceful dissolution, wo pretend not to conjecture. The best hopes of ovary pntrjot. would bo crushed, and Iho prosperity of this groat country would bo gone, in either case. ■' Wo have, thus feebly attempted to do our duly by faithfully warning, you of tho evils which tho re election of tho present Governor may bring,upon you. Tho pleasant task remains, however,, to' iho performed, of assuring you that tho nccQonls ; wo have received from all quarters, loaVo us In no doubt that Col.

TIIK! BIOTHIEHIS ROCK. Flumboltll, in lila celebrated .travels, tells us that alter ho had'loft llio abodes of civilization . fur bo* hltid, in tiio wilds of South America, ho found near , the confluence of.tho Atabapa and tho Rio Terni rims, a.high rook, called tho Molher's.Rock. Tho circumstances. which gavo this remarkable name to (ho rock were these: In 1709, a Roman Catholic Missionary led his half civilized Indians out on. ono, of thoso hdslile excursions, which they often, made to kidnap slaves fur tho Christians. They found n Gulilba .woman in a solitary hut, with throe,children—^two/of.whom wero infants. Tho father, with’.lho older children, had gono out to tho mother in vain tried tu fly.with .her babes., She was seized by llicso man hunters, hurried into a boat, and: carried away, to a missionary Ration atSan Fernando. 1 She was now far froriv.her,Ticino; bnlsho had left her children llioro, who hod gone with’ their father.- She repeatedly look her three babes and tried to escape, ,but was as often' seized, brought back, and most unmercifully beaten with whips. . - At length tho missionary. determined to separate this mother-,from her throe chitdrbn;and for this purpose sent her in a hpat up the Atabopo river, to tho mission of the Rio Negro, at a station called Javltn. ; j . Sealed In the bow'of hp boat, Ihomothar .knew not where she was going or what awaited her. ■ She was bound, solitary iind along, in. tbo bow of the long bout; bill she Judged from tho direction of tho sun, that she, was going ■way from her.children. Dy a sudden effort she broke,her bands,-plunged Into the'fiver, swam to lho loft bank of.tlio Alabgpo and landed upon a roqkV She' was' pursued .and at evening retaken, and brought back tplho'rock, call ing for her children ; and tho rack' has over since been called the Mother's Rock v Her hands wore then tied upon her back', still bleeding from the lash es of the.manatee thongs of Iculhtr. She was then dragged to tho mission at, Javila and thrown into a kind; of stable.’ Tho night was profoundly dark, and it was in (ho midst .of tho rainy soasan. was now fbll aovonly-five miles from hoi 1 three chll (Iron in s straight.line.
