harmony it) their wigwam—that they have
but little hopes of saving their union this
fall, and are ready to concede the election
of the talented Ligon, the Democratic can
didate, to the gubernatorial chnir<)f Mary

AnopoUji! i9';tho k uict lilftpe -of
wa.-were' ever itjj atjcl onSufiday almost
every person seemed to bo at one or the
pther of the numerous churches.
As a place of business it 6ccms to bo of
po consequence at all. Two or three prel
jiy oxtpqljiyp lumber yards,pro tq bo seen
on the Water sjdo of the town —but the
usual ware-houses, crowded docks and
whaWscfa sea-port ore wanting, and were
it not for the stately masts that point heav
enward here apd (here in the offing, one
would suppose it to bo far removed from
ocean communication. Notwithstanding
this is said to be a bettor port than Balti
more, never having less than 18 feet of wa
ter on tho bar,
But business of all kinds seems to boon
a perfect standstill bare. As for improve
ments, there are nono to be scon in any
direction—-scarcely a single now building,
great or small, outside of the Navy yard,
have wo found. Anapolis is' connected
with Washington and Baltimore by a very
good rail road, twonty miles in length.—
This road passes through some of the poor
lost land we over looked at. Thorn ure oc
casional fields of corn and tobacco in good
condition—whilst there are’ many others
too poor to produco even a respectable
crop of weeds—the pure white sand ren
dering the labor ofcorn-hoeing quite a light
task.
■ [fere wo have an axamplo of that much
prcachediabout:system of Afriean slavery,
and which is such a terrible bugaboo to
many in tho north. Tliero are n groat
many negroes in and about this place,and
a large portion of them free. Tho differ
ence in their manners nnd appearance is
most marked in favor of theslavcs. They
look cleaner and smarter, behavo much
bcltur, and don’t smell half as bad as their
-c—a nnd independent” brethren. Let any
of ouV‘rgnting' uuuUw~nteta,mako a tour
through a section of our country wneiu
this system is practised, and where the free
negro is also pormittod to live, and ifcall
ed upon to point out tho sluves, nine times
in ton he will pitch upon tho haggard rag
ged, dirty free negro os the object of his
solicitude; whilst the clean, laughing, mer
ry-making, well clothed, round cheeked,
[bright eyod happy slave will be taken for
the free mahi Butblafnc them hot. Preju
dice is a terrible tyrant, and backod by ig
norance, there is no such'thing as teach
ing it either common sense or reason.—
All this old fagyism is fast passing away,
and a short lime will mako ail thesocrook
ed places straight. There is'a Wnv, and
a right way, nnd the right way will in duo
time bo manifested, despite tho efforts of
fanatics to frustrate it.
Nankin. —A writerin Blackwoods Mac
azine, in (ho course of on article on the in
surrection in China,.gives this sketchor
Nankin.;
‘•This oily now contains more than a
half million of inhabitants, but amidst its
deserted streets are found large spaces turn
ad up by tho plough, and the grass grows
upon tho quays, to which a triple lino ofj
shipping was formerly moored. It is sit
uated in an immense plain, furrowed by
canals. Its fertile district is a net-work of
rivulets and navigable water courses, fring
ed with willows and bamboos. In tho prov- j
ince of Nankin, grows the yellowish cotton
from which is made the cl oth oxported
thence in great quantities. There also is
reaped a groat partof all the rice consumed
in tho empire. Tho Kiang-Nun or prov
ince of Nankin, is the richest gem in the
diadem of the Son of fteaven. Nothing in
old Ejuropo can give an idea of its fruitful
ness—neither the plains qf Qeoqco, nor
those of Lombardy, nor even opulent plan
tiers;’!

icy in the,long run is a rigid adherence to
regular nominations. VVe grant that there
are tiroes of;disappointment when men
with excited feelings and prejudiced'minds
break qIT from their party and give “aid
and copifurt” to the enemy; hut with pol
iticians, in nino cases out of tpp, apd pot
unfrequently with others, such conduct is
sure to prove a sourco of regret. Especial
ly should‘young men who haveidentified
themselves with parly , organization, bo,
mindful of how (hoy permit thoir private
feelings fogbvern their conduct; And old
ipep,
with a party, should exercise equal caution
In regard to circUmsMhCes that may threat;
erf to vyeakejl their political affinities. YVo
merely drop these brief hints for Ihe pur
peso of suggesting Vefldciion. Tho best
policy, in the lorig run;*is to discard per

TDK STATE DEBT.
Tlio Whig party of this Stato havo a
never.failing hobby to resort to in thonb*
senco of all other expedients. It is the
Stale debt, an incubus which tho people pf
Pennsylvania feel too sensibly'not to njan
ifesl o deep anxiety to avail themselves of
any genuine and practical measure of re
lief that may bo presented. Wo arc deep
ly in debt, and whether tho Democratic
party alone is to be held responsible for that
fuel, the records of our Stale must tell, If
wo uro not greatly mistaken, it will bo
found on examination that the Whigs have
ever been more ready and eager to orgia,-
ate and advocate measures of cxtravftr
ganae than our own party, and havo con
tributed much to,the support of that policy
which has resulted in tho incurronco of
sucti t*v«hvy liabilities. If there was crim
inality in the creation ot tho present debt,
they certainly must bear a full share ofH.
Tho recent Whig State Convention passed
resolutions in fuvoc of the sula of tho-pub
lic works, (a tnoasuro which we see is ad
vocated, in some quarters of tho Stato by
members of our own party,) and thoy al
so adopted tho follow resolution '■
Resolved, That wo condemn the policy
pursued by Governor Bigler arid his Ad
ministration, in adding thousands and
thousands to our already enormous debt.
This resolution is ri sort of a koy-note
to tho Whig editors and orators in this
campaign. They will aim to envolop tho
real facts nS deeply in obscurity U 9 possi
ble, but at the same timo to create a gen
eral impression that tho State Debt has
bccngreutlv increased. It is difficult to
conceive of a more nonsensical Species of
political ounckery than the course pdrsued
by the Vvhigs upon this question. Gov.
ernor Johnson boasted enough of tho op
erations of tho “Sinking Fund,’’ to induce
people to believe that half of our debt was I
swept away, yet yhnt did its transactions j
really amount toT 'During his officinl
term, 8059,122 98, of fivo per cent Stato
bondSwere paid ; but during that time, a
new six per cent loan of 8400,000 was
created, and on the very day that Gover
nor Johnson retired from office, 41' become
absolutely necessary to borrow 8300,000
more at six per cent., to pay the interest
then due, and there was over 8650,000 of
unpaid appropriations ! This wa9 the stylo
in which Governor Johnson conducted
his splendid scheme for tho annihilation of
the mighty burden of debt under which
the people of Pennsylvania groaned.
Now as tp Governor Bigler. Instead
of borrowing nftoriey at six percent, to re
pay loans af five pop cent., obtained 8134,-
000 in premiums, to pay ofTall tho sjx per
cent, loans thcndtte, hnd in this way ho
has sepurpd ini annual say ing (6 Inc Slpte qf
820,00 Q, apd during the eighteen motiihs
pfjiis Administration 8,405,750 of State
stocks have beep redeemed, apd 8405,480
of relief notes destroyed, thus makiog a
total of 8590,329, which is within 870,-
OOP of the sum paid by, Johnston during
j tho Wholo of his Administration, embrac
ing a poriod twice a?,, long as the official
term of Governor Bigler up to this time.
If js truo that the Governor has been
obliged to make a temporary loap of 850,-
000, and it is upon this fact, \ye presume
[that the charge of on increase of tho pub
lic dobt is founded,—but far i#hqt purpose
was that loan effected ? To complete ncio;
work's commenced under Johnston's Ad
ministration ! and no alternative was left
but tp continue them. Is, it not manifest
ly unfair for thq Whigs to attack Govern
or Bigler for incurring ail expense ren
dered nocessary by the unfinished pond i
tion of work? commenced by themselves T
works, too, ymiefi are useful and calculate
I ed to contribute matorialjy fa the prosperity
of bur Commonwealth; arid Odd tothoro
sburces'of our Treasury ? AH fo'f tho
future, Gov; Bigler is pledged, in his last
mdssage, against,any'nrid'all new schemes
qf expenditure, and we think the destines
of the Bta‘te-are quite'as safe in the keep
