THE GAZETTE. :TTlie watchman of the railroad bridge 3 t Petersburg, was killed on Tuesday last, bv the locomotive, and another man is said to have been killed on the samr day, at fhmcannon. Both these men were on the track, one of theui we believe asleep, and the other perhaps not sober. It is really astonishing that any one should he so fool hardy as to make a railroad, with trains passing up or down every few hours, a place for taking a nap. Lie Ihe last >t the series ol compromise measures, being the bill for tin- suppression of the slave trade in the District of Colum bia, passed the Senate finally on Monday by the decisive tote of ftft to lib When it was under consideration in the Senate on I hursduy last, Mr. Seward of Xew \ork, offered an amendment abolishing Slavery in the District, which .was reject ed by a vote of yeas 5 nays 45 ! The Senators who voted in the affirmative, were Messrs. Chase of Ohio, Dodge of Bis., Hale of X. 11. Seward of Xew York, and t pham of Vermont. . ADDRESS Of Ihe Whig Slate Central Committee, to the Freemen of Pennsylvania. FE.LI.O-W CtiizeN : The Flection is approach ing, and we ail have an important duty to per form. To discharge thai duty fully, faithfully, arid successfully, should he made u high object with every good citizen. The offices of Canal Commissioner, Auditor General, and Surveyor General, the last two recently made elective, are all dependent on the popular voice. The control of the public works, the regulation of tlie land office, and the supervision of the finan ces of the State, are matters of grave ooncern to the people. It becomes their interest as wet I as their duty to elect honest and intelligent men. The policy of dividing the canal board in its political char acter, so that the interests of all may lie fairly represented and honestly guarded, must be ob vious tocrery reflecting tax-pay ingcitizen. The propriety too of surrounding the head of the Slate Administration with able adviser* o*" the same political sentiment, must be equally appa rent. The Whig Convention which assembled at Philadelphia in June last, placed in nomina tion for these offices, gentlemen of the highest character for ability and integrity. We know them to be-eminently worthy men. We believe tiietr-election would be honorable to our party, ad of service to the State; therefore we sin cerely recommend them to your earnest support. The election of Members of the Legislature possesses unusual interest, from the fact that at their next session they are to apportion the State for toe Congressional representation, and to elect a United States Senator to serve for a period of six years, from the fourth of March next. The experience of last winter has taught us that in order to secure a fair and honest Apportionment Bill, it-is necessary to have a Whig majority in the lvegishiture. The importance of having an other voice in the Senate, to speak for the inter ests of-Pennsylvania, cannot he overrated It is irnpoftut also to uphold and sustain our State Executive, in the line of policy tie has adopted, policy which it largely increasing the revenues of the State, providing for the reduction of the public debt, and making productive our unfin ished 'improvements. A wise system of mea sures, wirtcto rapidly redeeming the Common wealth ifrom the low condition in which the cor ruption and misruk of former administrations had plunged her. The election of Members of Congress is also of the utmost -consequence. The iifieresfts of our State depend on the election of good men. The great body of the .people of Pennsylvania demand a change of the tariff. They are told that it is inexpedient. -For four years they have been struggling against legislation which closes '.heir coal mines and their workshops -which pre fers the -foreign capitalist in their own market, ■riving head to foreign labor which is required for the -support, of their own. The tires of our :100 Iron works hare gone out, the hands of xftj,- ijOO laborers are idle. Every branch of industry, Agricultural, Mining, Mechanical, and Manu facturing is suffering. A change is required, such a change as will better deveiope the resour ces of the State, and more profitably employ the labor of our people. We want men who are orthodox on this subject. Men, too, of firm ness of courage, and of high intelligence, on ■whose wisdom, moderation, and patriotism, we can rely in periods of danger and difficulty. Men regarding the interests of their constitu ents, and at the same time looking to the integ rity, harmony, and stability of the Union. Our opponents are already in the field. They hare published their manifesto, proclaiming their virtues, and our infirmities, in the true spirit of the pharisee. They talk of Galphins, of frauds and of speculations with which they are most i familiar, abusing with good set phrase and routided period every department, of the Nation al Administration. The highest standard of democratic merit is avowed to be an observance uf the vstges, an attendance upon the caucuses and a stern adherence to nominations by the majority. This constitutes the ceremonial of tiieir political worship, r.ever to be abandoned, no matter what pledges have been violated, or what public interests are to be sacrificed. We contend for the entire freedom of opinion and action. Opinion should be free as air, and as -intelligent a® education can make it. Men are iicg. Writ blind, or with collars on their necks. We want good order, just 4*w s and the honest administration of business. Our opponents talk of honest agents and low salaries, while their candidates srtrtetfwr •increas ed pay and higher emoluments. Who have had control of the public works for the darst 12 years ? Vtho have audited the public accounts, forget ting law and propriety ? Who have used the public works for personal and party purpose ? W4,.-*t Canal Cowrmssioners have gambled for votes wtifa'ise jreople's money, rewarding poli tical eswre-.acTCs, or in openly corrupting the bal lot bo*. The Williams port Convention made startling disclosures. We stand in the light of Democratic revelation. On their own oaths— themselves being judges—they are condnnntd. While wei.ave profound reason to mourn the loss of our distinguished chief, the President of the United States, summoned hence at an alarm ing crisis in 4ur national affairs, we are yet per muted to rejoice that hi# mantle of office has fallen on the shoulders of one so able and so worthy to wear it. Never in the his top yof the country have our foreign relations been more ably, more successfully, or more gloriously maintained than during th}* adrpjnjstratjon, and "evee it, the history of our State have the jnter cts Of the Con won lib been more carefully guarded or her honor more nobly defended. Let us then rally around and support them— Hus maintain the principles* we profess. To bus end, and with these objects before us, if we *ould succeed, we must go to work. We must or gajze thoroughly, efficiently, and immedtate in every district, county, ward, and town ' p Individual preferences must give w.iy to " general good personal differences, fieart ""unings, and diseonlen s he forgotten, arid our ! 'ten fit we have any) be who shall labor the 'd' and accomplish the most for the success •df party, and the good of the country, Let ' pci ially encourage eur lo< al prc-s—estab* Ilsh it wherever it can be. done, and sustain it j when established. It is the great tnoral lever which moves the world. The widest dissemi nation of correct principles, and the highest in- 1 culealion of sound political doctrine, should be encouraged 111 every possible way. The suc cess ot the. \V hig party is based on the intelli- i gence ol the people. The past is full of encouragement, and the 1 luture is full of hope. Let the same spirit which moved us in 1340 and 1343 move us now, and 1 we shall triumph. Let our faith be a firing i lailn, anil victory is certain. lIENR\ M, 1 L'LLKII, Chaiimin. bvn VCI:SK, N.
