ADDRESS OF THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. To,the People of Pennsylvania Fellow Citizens— The Central Committee appointed by the Democratic Convention, which assembled at Reading, on the 4th of June last, have resolved to address you on some of the questions which are to be decided at the next general election. We approach the perfor/nance'of this duty with we trust, a proper sense of the responsibility it im poses upon us, and with a fulldetermination, ne’ithci s to exaggerate the importance of the issues now pending before you, nor to use any argument* which are in the least unfair. The effect which our election in this State m y have on the Union of the States, and on the grea interests of the whole country, will claim our at tention, first—because this is a consideration which transcends' all others in magnitude. We solemnh believe that the re election of Governor JOHNSTON would be fraught with danger to the peace of the country, arid wiih consequent ruin to our commerce, foreign and domestic; while we are equally wel assured that the election of Col. BIGLER would be everywhere hailed, by all true patriots, as a prool that our good old Slate, ever loyal to the Constitu tion, is still as true as steel to the great principles* lor which our fathers shed heir blood. The ConstiJMtion of'the United States is a most ingenious piece of workmanship. The wisdom displayed in the organic structure ol our whoh system, is only equalled by the patriotism which induced all the States, severally, to give up whar was necessary lor the general good. One great principle pervades the whole instrument; and that is, that each State, within her owxi;sphere| is abso lutely sovereign, and free to do precisely as she pleases in regard to her own internal concerns Any interference ol the people of one State with the domestic affairs of another, is not only uncon stitutional and uulawiul, but it is sure to be bitterly resented as indecent. Pennsylvania shares 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 abso* lutely necessary that the States should abstain from all impertinent interference with one another; or else the harmony which is necessary'to the perpe tuity of the Union, will be broken up and destroyed. When kindess of leeling, and confidence in one an other have once disappeared, the a Union will not last very long—for it cannot possibly be held together by force or fear. The Czar ol Russia may tarn** his Puianders with the knout—the Emperor ot Austria may reduce Hungary to submission by murdering men anil scourging women—and the British Government may keep Ireland in subjection by starvation and the bayonet—but if the States O; this Union cannot remain untied, without such ap pliances, they will inevitably separate. We are u ruled by moral ties—not held in reluctant con nection by means ot physical power. Our-feelings of fraternal kindness—our reciprocal justice and regard for one another's rights—our veneration for the name of our common lather, the great Wash ington—our recollection of the revolutionary blood that was mingled together in the same fields by the men of all sections—our love of liberty—our pride of empire—the boundless commercial prosperity which tne Unioirwill give us. and the shuddering consciousness that an unspeakable ruin awaits us ii that Union is 'broken up—these are the bonds ol our common.brotherhood, and when These are once severed, the Union will cease to exist, as surely as the. planetary system would tall into confusion it the law of attraction were annihilated. To pre serve them in all their force is the most sacred duty we owe to ourselves, to our countrymen, and to our children. Negro slavery does not exi«t in the northern States, while in the southern States the people Have not determined to abousli it. This difference in our domestic institutions has to dicus sions which, at different times, have threatened us with serious danger. The people of Pennsylvania have ne\er lent a favorable ear to the abolition ag itators. We are thankful that we have nothing to do with slavery, and that Providence has thrown ihe whole responsibility of dealing with that difficult and dangerous subject upon the States where it exists. We cannot intermeddle in it without yio latingMhe Constitution, and, it e could, we would not. The north has the numerical force which en : «les her, at all .times, to control every branch of e United States Government, Executive and Le gislative. We ought, therelore, to Oehave with the magnanimity which becomes the stronger party.— It nothing else would prevent us Irom taking an ’unworthy advantage of our strengih, a proper sense oi sell-respect and dignity should restrain us. The south is powerless for any purpose of aggression upon us, and has no protection hut the Constitution, . unless she resorts to a revolu'ionary remedy. Nevertheless, there have been men among us, who not regarding their constitutional duty, but taking counsel of their evil passions have lent all their energies to the kindling of excitement against the south. Coarse vituperation against all southern men, and abusive epithets, harshly dealt upon all northern men, who ventured to put in a plea for their constitutional rights, was the fashion of these politicians. The southern people, in consequence of these incessant and bitter assaults, were in a •state of high excitement at the termination ol the war with Mexico. A vast territory had been con quered, at the expense of southern, as well as. northern, blood and treasure. The contest which then came on in Congress, was long, angry and . doubtful. The boldest men feared, and the wisest could not foresee what might happen. But promise was at length effected. This compromise consisted of five distinct measures; all of'which. except one, gave the advantage to the opponents of slavery and the south. Let us enumerate Them 1. California was admitted into the Union with a Constitution prohibiting slavery, notwithstanding all complaints of irregularity and unjustifiable ex tension of her boundaries. 2. Utah and New Mexico were organized into •territories, without any change in the existing law, which forbade slavery. 3. Congress agreed to purchase from Texas a "f*large part of her territory, for the consideration ol ten millions of dollars, and thus removed the ter ritory, so purchased, Irom the jurisdiction of a slave State. 4. A law was passed abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia. . 5-. The fugitive slave law was passed. None of these laws, except the last one, was of any advantage to thfe South, or calculated to do the •i. South any service. The lugitive slave law they ask ed for in return, and it was granted to them, solely ' because they were entitled to it by the express words o/ the Constitution. To prevent any mistake, we will transcribe from that sacied instrument the section which relates to tbiS subject. 1 . 11 No person held to labor or service in one State under the laws thereof escaping into another , shall in conse guente of any law or ' regulation therein be discharged , ; ' from such service or labor , but shall be delivered. £ up on claim of the party to whom such service or laboi f mayMdue.'* Surely no part of the Constitution is more ..plainly written than this, nor no duty more clearly defined or more easily understood, than that which it im * poses. When it is'.recollected that a law for the - execution ot this provision was all we gave the South, it seems like an insult to the people todoubi that they will standi by the bargain in all honesty ‘ and good faith. In order to understand fully the importance of this issue, it must'be remembered that in roost oi the southern States the old party lines have been nearly altogether obliterated, and the people huv. divided into the Union and secession parties. The Union* men assert their confidence in,the justice am' honor of the north, arid thriir ‘ belief 'that we wil -land by the Compromise'and permit the Constitu* ion to be executed. The.secessionists. on the othe> land, base their opposition to the Union on the siip ■used, treachery of the north, and declare then ipinion, that the fugitive slave law will be sr. opposed, aad its repeal or modification so loudly lemanced, that they cannot hope for quiet, or peace, r justice, according to the measure of the Consti 'ution. The union party is now in the majority it* 11 the States except South Carolina; but their en mies and the enemies of the Union,* will overwhelm hem with defeat, if we demonstrate to them, tha l tur loyalty to the Constitution, arid our submission to the terms of the compromise, cannot be relied >n. No wonder that all friends of the Union, whether Whigs or Democrats, are waiting for our lection with beating - hearts and breath suspended 1 •hall we give the triumph to our enemies—to those who charged us with treachery—to those who as •ert that we carried the compromise, by lalse pre ♦'rices, and that we are not to be trusted to execute he Constitution? Or shall we so decide as to su?*- *din our friends who have defended our character md staked their success upon our fidelity to the compromise? , The Democracy of Pennsylvania, loyal and true o.the Constitution, have taken their ground in the ollowing resolutions: Resolved, That the time has arrived, when not •nly the prosperity of our people, but the preser vation of our blessed Union, require that the Dem icratic party, in all its measures, snail strictly and aithtully adhere to the fundamental principle?- •siablished by its-wise, patriotic and glorious foun ers; and among ihe most important of these prin ciple's, we may enumerate a,strict construction ot he Constitution of the United States—a total ab stinence on the part of Congress, from the exefeise •f all doubtful powers—a sacred regard for the ights reserved by the sovereign States ,of which .he confederacy is composed—an, absolute non interference by the people of the several States, vith the domestic institutions peculiar to each— aid a rigid economy in the expenditure of the taxes raised'from the people—confining the appropria tions of public money by Congress-to national Objects, plainly authorized by the Constitution. Resolved, That had these vital principles of Democracy been faithfully obse p ved in the admin stration of the National Government since the idvent of the Whigs to power on the 4th March. 1549, we should not now witness the spirit of dis cord and alienation which at*present prtvails be tween the North and South,on the question of domes, tic slavery—threatening as it does eventually to dis solve the Union. Nor should we have to deplore the enormous appropriations of public money, ap proaching in a time of peace to the war standard •>f expenditure arid endangering an entail upon our posterity of the frital incubus of a permanent na- tional debt. 1 Resolved, That the Democratic party of Penn sylvania are true to the Union, the Constitution and he laws, and will faithfully observe and execute, ■.o far as in them lies, all the measures of compro mise adopted by the late Congress, for the purpose of settling the question arising out of domestic slavery, and this not onfy from a sense of duty as good citizens of the republic, but also from the kind anil fraternal feelings which they cherish towards heir brethren of the slaveholding States. Resolved, That the sixth section of the act of ihe Legislature of Pennsylvania, passed on the 3d ot March, 1847, denying under severe penalty, the use of our State jails for the detention of fugitive da\‘es, while awaiting their trial, ought to be-ex punged Horn our statute books, both because it in erposes obstacles by means of Stale legislation, to me execution of the provision ol the Constitution >f- the United States, and because it is a virtual lisregard of the principles of the compromise, and is calculated seriously to endanger the existence of the Union. Resolved, That in Col. William Bigler, our candidate for Governor, we recognize 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 he mow Holds in the affection and respecj of his fellow citizens We hail him as the worthv repreaenta- ive and chosen standard-bearer ol our great and glorious principles, and pledge ourselves to do.battle for the cause of Democracy under his banner, until we shall achieve a signal victory and redeem the Keystone State from the misrule of its present Wliig Governor. Resolved, That we will cordially support the election of Seth. Clover, as Canal Commissioner, believing him to be an able, hone-t and incorrupt ible Democrat, and well qualified to discharge the duties of that responsible office. Resolved That in the matter of levying duties on foreign imports by the General Government, we are in lavor ol the reciprocal interchange of our products with the other nations ol the earth, in consonance with the enlightened spirit of the age, tecosjnizmg clearly the practice of the Government io maintain and preserve in full vigor and safety, all the great and industrial pursuits of the country These resolutions form the two solid columns on which the Democracy of the State and nation rest so lar as this question is concerned. .Let them be prostrated, and the Unionj itself will crumble to pieces. Col. Bigler has given sanction to the sentiments they embody in the most unequivocal tnd emphatic j On the other hand thtjWhig Convention, which met at Lancaster, refused to pledge them their par ty to an unconditional support of the fugitive slave law. A resolution was offered to that effect, but it. was voted down by a large majority. They nominated a candidate for Governor who was, and is, openly to it. Gov. Johnston,' In his message ot January! 1851, took strong ground against it. In his speecji before the Lancaster Convention he declared that ij be had been a mem ber of Congress he would have voted against it.— He went still further, and expressed the opinion that it ought to be so changed.as to make it “more consonant to the wishes of thfe people, more accept able to them, and more conformable to truth, justice and the requirements of the Constitution.” These are the strong words-in which he has chosen to assert that the law is false , unjust and unconstitu tional—for that is the substance of his denunciation of it. We do not pretend tojknow what he means by the allegation that it is not “ conformable to truth .” That Washington approved a law in 1793 identical with this in principle is some authority in favor of itsy'Msfice, and.the solemn decision ot every judicial tribunal where the question has been raised, ought to settle its constitutionality. But Mr. John ston is opposed to it, and, lorjhis opposition, he bas thought proper to give absurd reasons rather than none. •{ . When-we speak of Gov. Johnstony opposition to this law, we are not to be understood as saying that he has ever avowed his determination to-op pose it by force, or resist its [execution with buck shot and ball as one of his predecessors opposed and resisted th£ election law, but we do assert that he is opposed to the law a 6 it stands, and in favor of agitating for i s repeal, and thus def ating the great purpose for which it as welljas the other compro mise measures were enacted, namely, a final and peaceful settlement of the perplexing and dangerous subjects to which they relate. But this is not the only evidence Gov. Johnston has given of his disloyalry to the Constitution. A law was passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania m the year 1- 47, one section oi which forbids, un der the seven 3t penalties, the use of the jails for the confinerm nt 'of a runaway sfhve: At the time of the passagi of this act there was no law in ex igence authorizing agents or commissioners of the. United State* to commit fugitives irom labor to prison. It was therefore, al.most a dead letter on the statute/book. Bur.' wh|en the “fugitive slave law’’ of September, 1850, was passed, it was found •dmost impossible to execute its provisions unless fhis’part/of the Pennsylvania statute should be re pealed /Accordingly, the Iriends of the Union,con. istmg pf YVhigs and Democrats, proposed* its re peal in the last session of the Legislature.— I he ufmost influenee of'Governor Johnston’s spe cial adherents was exerted to prevent the passage -l this repealing bill, and they succeeded in staving it off until very nearly the close ol the session.— Then, however, it was passed, and presented to him ior ; his approval. He refused, to sign it on the pre set that he had not sufficient time for refection! He nas not sighed it yet,, nor has be given his friends /»y reason to hope that jhe will sign it but /• n the contrary, the abolitionists confidently ex >ect him to veto it, ancThe as confidently expects their votes in consideration! thereof. “THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHE P B LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST BEWABD.”—Buchanan. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 19, 1851. • In such ways as these has Governor -Johnston '•ommitted himself irrevocably to the- purposes of hose heartless agitators who have already driven us to the verge of destruction, and who, if they are now backed by a majority in Pennsylvania, will >lunge us into utter ruin and anarchy. The Governor has attempted to justify the ex periments he proposes to make on the temper ol *he people, by declaring the Union is in no kind ol tanger.- He ridicules, scouts, and 6neers at the idea that the Union can possibly be dissolved by my cause whatever.' He thinks it strong enough o stand anything. In this- confidence be is very singular. The greatest, best, and wisest men in ♦he country, of all parties, have thought and do now hink, that unto justice and moderation prevail in our councils, we,£re in danger. It can scarcely be relieved that Washington would have warned his countrymen against dissolution if dissolution had been an impossible thing. Jackson was not apt to be frightened by shadows, and it is well known hat anxiety for the Union lay heavy on his heart for many years of his lile. Still Mr. Johnston is, without doubt, very sincere. It would be unchari table to believe that he would advocate the doc trines he.does advocate, for the mere sake of a few iboliiion votes, if he could,see the effect df them as others see it. * We are no alarmists. We, too, believe tbjit the Union will not he a’-solved. But we base that opinion on our firm conation that Gov Johnston will be defeated by a large .majority But, if we could believe that Gov. Johnston, with such opin ions as be has expressed, and such measures as he is pledged to, could possibly be elected,'Our confi dence in the salety of the Union would be very much diminished. We have already said that pub lie opinion in the south is divided between adher ence to the Union and secession from it. The Union men are our.friends, the friends of the north, the friends of the whole country. They vindicate u< when our fame is assailed by our foes, and boldly risk all their political hopes on our good faith Never has any set of men made a braver or more successful struggle, than the friends of the Union and the compromise have made in all the southern States except South Carolina. But these friends of ours adhere to the cause on one express condition, and that is that the fugitive slave law shall remain on our statute book as it is, and be faithfully execu-* ted in the north. We venture to affirm that there has never been a State Convention, county meet ing, or any other assemblage of the Union party ot the south, in which their adherence to the compro mise and their continuance in the Union have not been coupled with this condition Let Pennsylva nia throw' all her vast moral and political influence into the scale of the secessionists, by re-electing a Governor who is opposed to the fugitive slave law', and refuses to allow the repeal of a State law which obstructs its execution, and what will be the effect ? It will flush our enemies with a triumph which nothing else could give them, and it will bring bitter disappointment, humiliation, grief, and over throw to the friends w r ho have long and gallantly tough' for us and for the Union. Would to God the Union were not in danger! But, if Gov. John storis re-election would not put it in very great danger, then are the mos* solemn declarations of all parties in the south but as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal, and the recorded opinions of the wisest statesmen in all sections and of all political creeds mere idle fancies. Remenflber, fellow citizens, that Col. Bigler’s election will hold up the hands and strengthen the arms Union men. Remember also that Gov. Johnston's success will verify the charges which the secessionists make against us, and probably give them the ascendency in every State where the issue has been made. Supposing the latter event to occur, and a dosen States *o join Snu’h Carolina, how is the Union to be preser/ed ? We leave your imaginations to fill out the picture. But surely no man w*bo has sense enough to know his right hand from his left, can fail to see that in that case there would begin such trouble as never seen yet. Whether it would end in civil wMr or in peaceful dissolution, we pretend not to conjecture. The best hopes of every patriot would be crushed, and the prosperity of this great country would be gone in either case. We have thus feebly attempted to do our duty by faithfully warning you of the evils which the re election of the present Governor may bring upon you. The pleasant task remains, however, to be performed of assuring you that the accounts we have received from all quarters, leave us in no doubt that Col. Bigler and the whole Democratic Mate Ticket will be triumphant by an immense majority. This address having been already extended to a greater length than we had designed, we; are com pelled to leave the other important questions invol ved in this campaign for future communications.

Our passengers and cars must, from their position in the train, be compara tively free from danger. The subscribers are aware of the monstrous monopoly against which they have to contend, but they are determined to encounter it, and relying upon the encouragement of all' who are opposed to monopolies and in favor of low rates of fare, they will run this line at the following rates, viz: ' THREE CENTS PER MILE, no more nor no less under any circumstances These are the lowest rates at which passengers can be carried over the road under the present rates of toll charged by the State, which are two cents per mile on each passenger, and $4,92 on each car.
