So .-that. down to the last-mentioned pe
riod, -the- strongest• monk of inferiority
and degredation 'was'fastened upon the
African -race •in that State.
It would be,i•nipossibl© to enumerate
and compress in the space usually'allot
ted to,an opinion of a court the various
laws, marking the condition of this race,
which were paased from time to time af
ter. the revolution, arid before and since
the adoption of the constitution of the
United States. In addition to those al
ready. referred to, it is sufficient to say,
that ChanCellor Kent, whose accuracy
and research no one will question, states
in the sixth.editon of his Commentacies,
(published in 1848, 2 vol., 158, note 150
that in no part of the country except
Maine did the African race, in point of
fact, participate equally with the whites
in the, , exercise of civil and political
rights.
The legislation of the States therefore
shows, in a manner not to be mistaken,
the :inferior-and subject condition of
- that:race at the time the constitution
was: - adopted, and long afterwards,
throughout the thirteen States by which
that instrument was framed; and it is
hardly consistent with the respect due to
these . States to suppose that they regard
ad at that time, as fellow-citizens and
members of the sovereignty, a class of
beings whom they had thtts stigmatized;
whom, es we are bound, out of respect
to the State. severeignties, to assume
they'had deemed it just and necessary'
thus to - stigmatize, and upon whom th !y
had impressed such deep and endueing
marks of inferiority and degradation; or
that ,evhen- they met in convention- to
form-the constitution, they - looked upon
them as a-portion of their constituents,
or designed_ to include them in the pro.
visionascecarefully inserted for-the secu

rights of their citizens. It cannot be
supposed that they intended to secure
to them rights, and privileges, and rank
in, the new political body throughout
the;Union which every one of them de

Of Erie County.
Col. J. Boyd Balzer.
It is too much the custom of the office
holders of a successful party to neglect
the minority counties, in the distribu
tion 43f their favors. -very - unfair
- and impolitic; for the democracy of such
counties, with rare exceptions, is mare
disinterested and purer than any other.
They have no local offices to stimulate
their endeavors, and if no share be given
at other points, where the whole
.State
may be considered, they,had better mo're
to Indiana and Illinois, if !rope of office
forms any part of their -political creed.
Mr. Charles. Brown, ithe former col.
lector of Philadelphia, for the `first time,
recognised the claims of Lebation coun
ty in this respect, by. the appointment of
Br. Nathaniel Ranch, as an Inspector of
the Custom House,and has entitled hire.
self to the gratitude of the democrats of
this county for that act. Dr.. Rancic,
having filled the post no doubt with
honor to himself, and satisfaction to the
government, retires at the end of his
four years, and gives place to Mr. John
H. - Shenk, of this Borough. As the tes.
simony of the democracy of the. county,.
was nearly unanimous, in favor of this
young, active and talented democrat, we
bespeak for him a favorable reception,
among the "fierce democracy" of the
city. So far as a strict attention to his
duties will permit, they will find him an
active and useful co-adjutor in support
ing "the good old cause." His charac
ter is above reproach, and we have no
doubt he will do the county credit, and
the country good service.
We did not intend at this season to
say anything about Col. Baker himself,
having intended to reserve our remarkti
upon the subject of the Presidential ttp
poi Omen ta to what a ppe *re ri tows wou ld
he' a more convenient season, hitt as we
have nothing but yea l and amen I to
say on his.. appointment, we will say
whal we have to say now. -
The only objection we have ever heard
made to him, is, that at the time of his
appointment, he was Superintendent of
the Columbia Railroad. We have al
ways in this sheet advocated the one
term principle, and rotation in office,
except where an office required peculiar
qualifications, and they were found in a
high_degree in an incumbent. But we
have•never objected to ::promotion.. On
the contrary, if - a man displays, as Col.
Baker did, - beyond all question, every
qualification, which should inark 'an
able, faithful and energetic public ser,
vans, we would press him forward in his
brilliant and useful' career, until he
reached the very top-ladder of
if capable of achieving it.'
We are opposed to keeping even a
good officer, always, in the same place,
except as we have above stated, but we
have no objection to see him occupy of
fice during his whole life, if in doing so,
he shows that, the public, not he, are the
obliged party. Almost all of our great
men have done so, and Col. Baker up to
this period of his career ihas emulated
their example. Occupying an official
position, for many years, where he was
surrounded by keen and sagacious eyes,
ready to construe the slightest indication
of mis-management, into gross delin
quency, the least unusual expenditure
into gross extravagance, and the work
of the elements into carelessness and
negligence, he passed through the try
ing ordeal ',with triumphant success.—
Few of his predecessors fulfilled their
duties with more sagacity, nor with
more energy or fidelity.
There were private reasons, honora
ble alike to Mr. Buchalfan'and Col. B
aker, which had some influence in the
selection of the latter. We do not
mean the family connection, which ex
ists between them. No man who.kpows
Mr. Buchanan, will ever suspect him of
nepotism. But, it is due alike to one
and the other to say, that the appoint
ment is fully justified by the merits of
Col. Baker, as a man and as a democrat.
The Hain Line Sold.
The Main Line of the Public Works
of this state, consisting of.the railroads
and canals between -Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, including all-the appurtenan
ces thereunto belonging, was sold at the
Merchants' Exchange, in Philadelphia,
on Thursday last, to the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Company; for $7;500,000.
The Supreme Co u rt refused - the in
rt •
junction asked for; akainstlhe sale ; but

in consideration of the payment of el,-
500,000 in addition to the sum at which
the works may be sold, invalid in that
respect, and that the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company must buy as any other
purchaser would.
Thus has this.great wrong upon the
people been at last accomplished.—
That portion of the opposition who fan•
cied `that 'the life and strength of the
democratic party is centred in 'the pat
ronage afforded by the public works,
will now soon have their fancy- dispel!.
.ed by the hard knocks' of facts , . The
idea that the Democratic party ' de
rives its strength from the distribution
of the petty of f ices in its gift, is nonsen—
sical in the extreme. Its source of
power comes from a mightier tribunal
—from the people themselves. If it
were not so, they would never be de
feated. This fall, however, will unmis- .
takably test the correctness of the long.
harped idea of the opposition. We then
shall see if the hendted .oglice-tiolders
on the Columbia Railroad and Pennsyl
vania Canal, have for yeara carried the
political destiny of the people of Penn
sylvania in their breeches pockets, or
whether the people have been in the
habit of deciding elections themselves.
We shall see whether outrage upon
outrage during the few years , of Know
Nothing and Black Republican :rule
have so blunted the feelings of self
,preservation and self-interest in our
good eititens, that they will n•ot de

Mysterious Movements of an Atmospher
ic Body—Loss of Life and Property.
On Saturday afternoon very many of
our citizens noted the appearance of a
very remarkable formation of nebulous
or cloudy substance extended from the
heavens nearly to the earth, where it
seemed to diminish almost - to a point,
but expanding gradually as it ascended
until the peculiar form was lost in the
cloudy sky. This' remarkable and tun.
nel.like column of cloudy mist passed
over the city at about four o'clock, and
was remarked not only by its peculiar
appearance, but by a rushing, buzzing
noise, as it swept oil' in the direction of
Deerfield.
It was watched for some moments,
and people generally believed it to be
a waterspout, as its conical' form corre
sponded with all ideas cif such natural
phenomenon. It soon passed from
sight, and was made the subject of :mor
tise conversation for the hour, without
the least just conception of what the
body consisted, or its destructive pow.
er. Its effects, however, have been
most wonderful, and may justly attract
the attention and scrutiny of the scien
tific world.
The conical mass first settled to the
earth a few Minutes past four, in Deer
field, and in an instant scattered a barn
to pieces, and tore up several trees on
the opposite sitle_of the road, &c.
Mr; John Warren informs'us that he
was engaged in his garden about four
o'clpck and saw the approach of the
clo"udj ohject, se it threw up-the trees.
-Ai its course' pninted `in• the direction
of his own hduse, he rap to the dwelling,
caught two of his oldest children and
called to his wife to save the other
three and herself by following him to
the cellar. The husband had descend.
ed two or three steps with his charge,
and lie wifo, with an infant and two
ol
derchildren had reached the cellar door,
when the house was struck. The whole
frame work was lifted from the stone
foundation ; the entire wood work above
the first floor was carried some twenty
feet and then dropped kin grand perfec
tion of ruin, whileAtre .first- floor with
the , sleepers attached, Which caught in
the foundation, was finally turned roof
like over the entire mass.
Mr. Warren, with two of the children,
remained in the cellar enclosure, with
out injury; Mrs. Warren was found on
the ground about ten feet from the cel
lar door, almost entirely stripped of her
clothing, and so severely injured about
her neck and body that she died within an
hour after the calamity, although entirely
conscious; her infant was found near by
arid almost entirely free from injury,
yet utterly destitute of clothing; a little
boy who was following his mother to
the cellar is new lying unconscious
-from the wounds be received in the
'come - ion wreck. , His recovery is very
doubtful ; an older girl escaped without
an injury. The dwelling was two sto
ries and substantially. built. In the
rear of it was a barn, distant about five
rods, which was literally shivered into
splinters. • •
Next in the due southeasterly line of '
its course -it uprooted several large
trees, scattered the fences, crossed the
road and • demolished a Urge barn be
longing to Mr. John M. Budlong.— 1
This building was of_ recent and very
substantial build, and 35 by -50 .feet up
on its base; yet the destructive element
tore it'to pieces, scattering large tim
bers about the field -at a distance of
.rem five to fifteen rods, distributing
portions of the loaf in various direc•
lions, and actually taking up an iron
cylinder threshing 'machine, weighing
perhaps four hundred pounds, and de
positing it at least eighty feet from the
barn. A cow belonging to Mr. 8.,
'standing near the barn, was killed with
out any apparent outward wound.
Beyond the premises of Mr. 8., for a•
bout a mile prostrate trees and fences
evidence the track of the. destructive
messenger. It, however, seemed to
have released its hold upon the earth
soon after leaving the lariat Of. Mr. 8.,
for it was distinctly.- seen to rise from
the surfade and dissolve -its conical
shape into a general cloudy form. The
phenomenon wes followed by violent
rain and wind. Two men at work in a
field saw the apparition approach, and
took to their heels, barely escaping its
track as it passed . - on. It seemed to
rise from the earth in four or five min
utes from the tune it was first seen, and
the evidence before us of destruction
lie in a district not over four or five
miles , in extent, in a due-southeasterly
direction from where its first touch was
feit,rand in a track about fifteen rods in
width. Whatever of material substance
presented itself iii this track was swept
away, and the ruin presented is certain•
;y fearful to behold.
Of what the destructive" -power was
composed we are riot prepared to affirm,
but of its force we can truthfully attest.
Hoge trees were torn from their deep
rooted resting places ae readily as a gar.
dener would pull a-radish from the sandy
.earth, fences and even lencia,posts were
scattered in all direction - 5, as if they
were chips, -and buildings offered no
more resistance than a clapboard to a
forty.borse power engine. The moving
mass of ruin is represented by all who
saw it to -have been a vapory substance;
it was not accompanied by any tvind or
'stem, but seemed an independent agen
cy, traveling on its own account, at a
speed of perhaps'a mile a minute... ~Itt
its motion. there-was a - constant revolu
tion, and when it Was rising this whirl.
int peculiarity became more'terrific
and violent. The peculiar . buzzing
sound which was noticed in its passage
by our citizens, was also remarked by
the people along its course in Deerfield
and Scbuvler,
The lady who, was killed was 31 years
of age; the child so badly injured is a•
bout five years of age.
In Marion county, Ohio, a., few days
ago, a man sued another far the rent of
a house. On the trial, .evidence was
adduced that the house was haunted,
and the jury decided that thedefendant
be paid $l5 damages, instead of paying
rent.
The Affidavit of the World.
It:was a.saying of the first Napoleon that there
was no such word as impossible in the vocabulary
of a great man. Difficulties which appal a medi
ocre intellect, only stimulate the energies of a
powerful mind. Newton conceived the idea of
mapping the skies, and measuring the distance
from planet to planet, from system to. system, and
he executed it. The god-like 'Washington -de

resist the mightiest and the wealthiest govern-

Happily, we live in an age which does not dele
gate to posterity the duty of appreciating and re
warding its master minds: They carry with them
the applause and gratitude of millions. So it has
been with this extraordinary man. Ile has heard,
with his own ears, the voice of approval, which is
to . vibrate: threugh the future. .He has been the
architect of his own fame, as well as future, and
has sectb . with his own eyes, the fabric which is to
ho his monument:
No remedies, for the various disorders which af
flict mankind; have been so .extensively used, so
universally popular, as Holloway's Pills and Oint
ment. It may, perhaps, be said that the newspa
per press of theday tilferds vast facilities for giv
ing publicity to new inventions and discoveries.
We admit it, but it must be also remembered that
the same medium which affords the opportunities
to' the discoverer and inventor is open to all who
may challenge the correctness or his theory or im
pugn the value of its practical results. HOLLO
WAY'S REMEDIES for external and internal diseases
stand before the world unease:ilea. The conclu
sion is, , TILET AKE UNASSAILABLE. But this is not
all. Their efficacy is not merely undenied, it is
conceded by men of science, by incorporated in
stitutions jealous of alt innovations upon old rules
and precedents, by. governments. watchful of the

The Farms con ist of the best limestone soil of the
mca:t superior quality the farming, in a rapidly improv
ing place, into which an extensive emigration is now
pouring. The property is located in Elk county, Penn
sylvania. in the midst of a thriving population of some
10,000. The climate is perfectly Inmithy, and the terri
ble plague , of the west fever is unknown. it also has an
abundance of the best quality of Coal and Iron. The
price to buy it out is tromp to $ 2O per acre, payable by
instalments, to be located at the time of purchasing. or
a share of 2,5 acres entitling to /mite the same for VIA
payable $6 per month or I 21,4 acres pay able Sper month.
Discount tOr every suns of $lOO and under, paid in ad
vance, a discount of tire per cent. will be allowed, and
for over $lOO a discount of 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to this lo
cality, the following are presented:
First—The mil is a rich limestone, taPatio of raising
the heaviest crops, owing to which this settlement has
attained its present great prosperity.
Second-4 tis the centre of-the great North West Coal
Basin, and 11.9 destined Soon to become one of thegreatest
business places in the State. it will supply the great
Lake niers - et, (according to population and travel the
greatest in the Union.") it has five workable Trine, of
the best Bituminous Coal, amounting in the aggregate
to over - 22 feet, which makes 22,000 tons of coat under
each acre. This will - Stake the land ofinestiumble yams.
The eminent state vologist, Dr. Charles T. Jackson,
of Boston. has made a 2 er,eole4leal survey of the land, and
analysed the oval, the iron ore, tend - the JiIIICALOIIO. This
report, together with maps, milt be furnished to inqui
rers.
Fourth—Three railroads are laid out through this
property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad gives us a
market for our coal to the lakes—it runs from Erie to
Philadelphia. A large part of this road has been finish
ed, and is now in running order. A heavy force is now
working from Erie towards our land in the western di
ruction, themeans for the corripletion of which has been
raised—it will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley,
Railroad connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the West.
There are already good Turnpike Roads running
through this property, various other roads have been
opened to accommodate the emigration and settlement
which has already taken place.
There is.no opportunity equal to it now offered to the
mnn who wants to provide himself a home in an easy
way, and make aiettlement whore he can live in pros.
parity and independence in a climate PERFECTLY
ItEALTLIY.
No case of the fever ever haring been known to occur
in this settlement. It is not like going to thabackwoods
of the West, among perhaps intolerant people, where
there is no society, churches, or schools, where the price
of land is high. and where the emigrant, after being us
ed to the healthiest climate in the world, has to endure
sickness, and pain, and perhaps ruins his health anti
that of his fatally. hut here is a thriving settlement,
having throe towns. containing churches, schools, ho
tels, stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything desir
ed. There is a cash market at baud. The lumber trade
last your amounted to over two hundred million feet of
lumber. In a short time, owing to the coal, it will be
come still more valuable, as a number of iron works and
manufactories will soon be started; they are at present
starting them extensively at Warren. wren for those
who do not wish to go there, the payments are such that
they can easily boy a feria to save their rising families
from want iu theTuture, or to gain a competence by the
rise which will take place in the value of lands. Ity an
outlay scarcely missed, a substantial provision can
be mule.
Persons should make early application; apply or write
to li. Jeffries, Secretary, No. 135 Walnut street, below
Fifth, Philadelphia. Letters carefully answered giving
full Information.
Shares or tracts of land can be bought or secured by
letter enclosing the first instalment of freedollara, when
the subscriber will be furnished with boake, maps,
