The Bright Compromise.
A proposition has been introduced into the Sen
ate of the United States, to extend the Missouri
Compromiseline to the Pacific coast. We append
the remarks of the editor of the Montrose Demo•
crat, as expressing our views exactly :—" Anothei
new movement for the purpose of aiding the pro.
pagandists in their darling schemes of extending
the " peculiar institution " over the whole of the
territory this Govettimetit bas recently acquired
from Mexico, and of swindling the free States of
their principles and their just rights, has been made
in the Senate, by Mr. Bright, of Indiana. ,It is a
pmpositiorr to extend the line of the Missouri corn
promise,(which Mr. Calhoun anirothers have pm-
nounced 'unconstitutional) through to the Pacific
coast as the demarkation between slavery and free
r dour--or in other words, and stripped of alt ver
biage, a proposition of a sorry misnomer, to corn
promise the whole of California and New Mexico
wit the propagandists, for the privilege of securing
Ore on sacred to freedom. Tell it not in Gath !
Pub ish it not in Askelon ! And what is still a more
seo !ling shame, the abominable proposition eine•
nateil from a professed citizen ril a fret. Stair, who
has been made all he i' by the very principles of
slavery restriction which he has just wantonly be
trayed ! It may succeed in the Senate= Calhoun
and his confederates may eschew their constitu
tional objections, aid accept it, upon the ground
that it corers the maximum of theis4lesires—it may
also pass the House (this, however, we do not be
lieve) but there is one ordeal we are certain that it
will not pass unscathed, and that is-the Propk.—
TheY will be parties to such schemes of wicked
ness no longer. Let it pass, and . Bambumerism
' will r within the next six months, achieve the en
premaey in this Nation. The masses of the pea
ide have firmly, and We believe unalterably, fixed
their faces against Carrying into virgin territory the
cast-01l crimes and evils of other nations—they will
meet the proposition with unadukciated execration
and animosity. Besides do Democrats consider the
proposition in which such a policy would place the
party and its selected leaders at this crisis? Re
-fleet upon it for a moment. IVlkat is the position
of die party upon this question, as marked cut by
the National Convention ? Clearly it has, by the
selection of Geo. Cass as its standard-bearer, en
dorsed and adopted his notions in /elation to it, and
upon theta, sworn to conquer or fall., And what
are they I Read his letter and see for.yourselvesA
He denies the power of Congress, under the Con
stitution, to ligielale upon the subject of *royal all.
-.--and declares that the question of freedom or sla
very in the territories should be left to the people of
the territories to prohibi t or sanction as they may
see propel. Who does not see, then, that this pro
position is an outright abandonment, a base betray
al, of the pail, and its candidates for the Chief Ma
gistracy I Is: it not astonishing, then, that those
who profess to -be fast friends of Gen.'Cass, should
lints deliberately and wilfully stab him ? We pro
test against it. It will, of all things that have trans
pired, be most liable , to work the overthrow of the
party if persisted in."
MR.VAN SriLIM'S AccurrAscr..--The following is
the announcement by the,,Albany Atlas of Mr. Van
Buren's so called acceptance of the Utica nomina•
• -.4
Lion.—
The l'tira Convention nominated Mr. Van Bu
ren as a'candidate for the President, contrary to bis
known wishes, upon the principle that the people
whom they represented had a right to make this
use of his name ; and did not direct the Irinal notice
their proceedin,ns to be given tohim. No communi
catißn is, therefore;to.. be expected from him. But
we are. most happy to be able to say, upon the best
authority, that however unexpected and undesirble
to.himself, the position assigned him lby the action
of his friends, Mr. Vaw Buren will not under the cir
cumstances in which they have been, placed, con
test this principle with them, nor interpose any fur
titer obstacles to the course they have adopted."

MIL EDITOR :—As political subjects again engross
the attention of ill, I shall take the liberty through
the columns of your paper to give my opinion upon
lanbjetet , whiekt it deeply itetesedin to every lavos
of his country. I would not wish to make the Edi
tor or party responsible
,for what 1 'assert, or the
opinions which I may advance, being responsible
for them alone. I merely speak as one of the mass ;
a plain practical farmer and consistent Democrat;
and entertaining the Views that ( do shall never see
those principles sacrificed without raising my voice
in their defence. True, it may be urged by dema
gogue politicians and a certain class who would be
willing to see their country sacrificed, that their
own paltry intitguite
, may be gratified, that we
are bound to follow the dictation of our leaders ; no
matter how absurd the creed, no matter how it
grapples with our conscience, we are required,
like mere Automatons, to whine out the political
tune keyed for us by the dextrous performer. Too
'long already have we played' this disgraceful pad,
in humbly kneeling to those who arrogantly claim
to be our superiors, until at last the North so long
trodden under the iron heel of oppression, is cooly
asked to lend her sanction to a measure which; if
matured, would place the whole North directly un
der the dominion of the tyrants of the South. -
The history of the convention of the two great po
litical parties of the day is truly startling. The De
mocratic party claimed a northern man as her can
didate. Why 1 Because the South with but about
ono-third the votes of the North have had the ex
ecutive chair filled by southern men three-fourths
of the time since we became a nation ; again and
again has the claims of the North been rejected,
and when at last the South found it impossible any
longer to resist the claims of the North, she arns.
gently lays down a platform of the nominee and
commands us to stand upon it under pain of losing
her support. No Conciliation or cotnpromise with
the south was asked ; the nominee of the conven
tion was requited to oppose the Proviso or sink at
once into a political grave. True Democrats they !
Ready to yelp their Anathemas upon a disaffected •
mirthern State, while they before hand had. pledged
themselves to desert the Democratic ranks in a bo
dy, if the nominee would not pledge himself virtu
ally to assist in carrying - Slavery into territories I
hitherto as free as our own .Pennsylvania. lime
diatelywe- see par Statesmen in commotion, Con
science lowers her flag at half mast, Justice drops
her. scales, Religion. retreats to her native Heaven,
and hydra headed ambition creeps from her lair
and in imagination seats herself in the executive
chair. Buchanan 4 betrays, Dallas falters, Cass be
comes a willing ally, and liberty lies trampled in
the dust. Thus, sir, it has always been with the
political leaders of the North, always having an eye
upon the White house, are ever willing to sacrifice
principle for power, and shift their political sails to
catch every advantage breeze which will chance
to drive them onward towards the haven of their
desires ; but we of the mass have no such aspira
tions for power ; born to be free r with no ambition
to gratify, no political stakes to gamble 'for, we
watch with Argus eyes the corruption of the great,
and when they imagine that their truckling and
hollow-hearted games will be upheld by the mass,
let them beware of the " hand writing on the wall ;"
a retribution as potent as Belshazzar's will convince
them .of i is great truth', that our principles shall ne
vers be be rayed. We are fully aware
. that there
are leads gettable enough to suppose that opposi
tion ter-the °" Wilmot Proviso" can be choaked
down thilnass, but every attempt wtll operate like
powerful shock to awaken to a more determined
oppo.sition the energieS, and the syren voices Which.
would fain lull us into Morpheus' arms, will oper
ate like a clarion of war and call from their lethargy
millions of freemen to defend their rights. A prin
ciple has • been engrafted for tenteriei upon the .
masses of Europe of the' " Divine right of kings,"
• #
togovem and op?reas them, and he who dared to
oppose it was branded as a traitor to his country
and a recreant to Heaven; In the relied States if
the divine right of National Conventions is not as
firmly fixed, it would almos' at least appear so, by
the fulminations of the great'- 1 Am.'' of the Wash
ington Union and other humble suppliants who
would fain eat a few crams that fall from the loaves
and fishes of the rich man's (Uncle Sam's) table.
But rights like these are fast taking their long fare
well and soon will sink in Lethea' silent stream.—
But we would be bound by, National Conventions
could we but have equal rights with others. When
almost
_every southern State throughout their con
ventions openly declared that they would not sup
port the nominee unless he was anti-Proviso, how
can they insult us by asking us to do what they
themselves . repudiated, not considering for a mo
ment that our principles are as dear to us as their's
are to them.

it is principles for which we contend and princi
ples alone; it is not personal friendship which
prompts us to support any man for the Presidency ;
we elevate him to that responsible station merely
as an agent to carry out principles which we con
ceive to be for the best interests of the country, and
when any candidate avows himself to be of con
trary opinion with ourselves, he certainly can nev
er receive our support. True, if Cass and Taylor
had been the nominees only, we must. have given
Cam our votes ; because "of two evils .ehoom.the

cracy a candidate for their suffrages, but by the
united voice of his Tellow-citizens who burn to

their duty calls them, determined to battle against
Southern injustice and opression.

Again. General Taylor's Southern friends, who go
for him because he is friendly to die exensiou of
slave territories, are doubtless desirous of, and
*vela be gridified by'' his 'election; but they are
unwilling to reciprocate favors. Th o would like
the northern wbigs to von, for T aylor , but they
themselves will not vote for the n fir Vice Pres

Further in corroboration of the Southern Patriot
Cal. HASIULL, of Tennessee, one of Taylor's south
ern champions, doctored in Congress, that General
Taylor is opposed to the Proviso against the exten
sion of slavery.
Mr. Bram Es of Georgia, another Taylor leader
in the South, ;lade a speech in the Senate last
week, denying the right of Congress to prohibit the
extension of slavery into free territory.
Mr. UNDERWOOD, of Kentucky, also a Taylorite,
introduces into the Senate a proposition recognizing
the right of sloveholders to carry their slaves into
free territory, and to be protected in holding them
as slaves.

bade farewell to as brave a body of men, who left
our borough for the seat of war,. as ever struck a
blow in detence of their country rights. %Veil do
we remember the morning of their departure, the
father, mother, husband. son, and lover, spoke the
words which was mayhaps forever to seperate them.
The eves of many a gallant soldier was moistened
by the tear of, affection, as he gazed upon the sor

again ; but his country called and he was ready to
resent the insult offered it by a haughty awl daring
foe. The hills and vallies of Pennsylvania sent

N. Y.—The deputy Sheriff of Renssetear county
went to East Sand take; on the 28th ult., for the
purpose of serving declarations on some two or
three individuals 'who had neglected to pay a pro
tested note in the bank. The anti tent a Indians,"
supposing that he was serving declarations for tent
in favor of the Patroon, soon sailled out, and to the
number of five, proceeded to the tavern of James
Ives, where thedeputy had stopped for refreshments_
They immediately proceeded to where he was
to see his papers, which he consented to show, but
the disguised person requested him to go to the
barn, and there let them 'examine the papers and
his person. This he absolutely refused to do • where
upon he seized him, a scu ffl e ensued, in which the
sheriff seized the mask of one of the " Indians,"
and so Etr tore it from his face as to be able to dis
cern him. The result was that Ira Greg..pu, and
Calvin Gre.os were arrested, and are now waitin
an examination. One has turned Stald's evidence
and an accomplice is.still at large. Officers are on
the alert for him. Thus are incarcerated in prison a
Either and two sons for molesting a civil officer in
the discharge of his duties.
HENRY CLAY AND GE.V. TATLOR.—The Baltimore
Sun has authentic advice from Gay five days after
he had heard of Gen. Taylor's nomination. At
that time he disapproved of it. and even hesitated
as to whether he would support him. He must
first know his principles. "He could never con
sent to grope is, the dirk in a matter of such vital im
portance."
The Sun also learns "that he expresses great cha
grin at the course of many of the delegates to the
National Convention, especially those from Ohio
and some of the Northern States, dimw,h whose ur
gent persusasion he had consented against his own
mclination and determination to allow his name to
go before the Convention." The same raper as•
sures its readers that these were the pilled rules of
Mr. Clay tire days after he had received intelligence
of Gen. Taylor's nomination. The Clay men in all
sections also " I esitate."
TpIF HIGHG4f AND BROADR.ST SOUTHERN GROUND
A writer in the Charleston (S. C.) News, in an ar
ticle urging the South to support General Taylor, on
strictly southern grounds, says:
€1 .Not only a political, but a vital, social andcivil
necessity' urges us (the South) to support Gen. Tay
lor, and we have ample satisfaction of his sound
ness as to slavery."
Again. " He bas it } mm iheliest private anthority
as coming fmm the lips of Gen. Taylor himself.
that Gen. Taylor, in speaking freely of slavery, took
the high e st and broadest Southern ground, and
raid he would never give up his slaves ; and we
know he never surrenders."
• The above is Taylorism in the South, where the
General lives and is known. Taylorism in the North
is pile a different thing. according to Mr. Haines'
speech published in the Record and the Register of
last week.
MELANCHOLY CAST. OF Sct►mt:.--Intellizence has
reached Boston from Nahaut, that Nathaniel P. }les

early hour in the morning; threw himself from the
rocks ilk, the open ocean and was drowned. lie
rase at I o'clock and went to the sex side, where
early in the morning his bat and cloak were found.
'Subsequently his body wits found floating near the
spot, and was recovered. From indications previ

he committed the act in a lit of insanity. Ile had
been for some weeks laboring under a great depres

Mr. Russell had been for some years retired from

public in various official stations and in the discharge
of important trusts, and his sudden death will be
deeply lamented.
A Soars orscir,-r.—A short time since. Silas H.
Beans, a son 'el Col. William Beans, of Bock ingham,
in this Suite, came verrnear meeting with a sudden
death while in his sleep. Apparently about mid
night, he left the bed in which he was sleeping.
and plunged out of a second story window into the
garden,
carrying sash and lights with him. After
he had recovered from the folk he walked leisurely
to the far end of the garden, and took a seat upon
the fence. In the same place was he sitting sound
asleep when his father took him to the house and
mused him up. The* whole at& was enacted
while he was in a profound sleep, and in the mor
ning the family had no little troubla to convince him
of the' truth of hir perilous encouwer.

Anrics or rue Tarawa E.—The editor of th New
York Tribune is still in a fog as to the recoil r state
of thins in the political worli, though it look now
as if he were likely Aoon to corns to a cone anion.
He talks in this wise: !
"We shall not probably act with them, and have
therefore little ri,„fit to advise them—but it now
a t
seems to us that those Whigs who are dete ined
to break with their party on the late nomin ori for
President at Philadelphia. may better vote Mr.
Van Buren than get up another candidate. When
we crime directly to the point, the chief groUnd of
positive objection to General Taylor is his presumed
opposition, active or passive to the principle of No
Extension of Slavery. General Taylor is oliposed
generally to the acquisition of territory—but he has
not said, and we presume will not say, that the ter
ritory being acquired, Slavery shall be kept? out of
it by act of Congress. We understand him to be
pledged to leave this question to the unbiassed action
of Congress-=while Gen. Cass stands pledged to
veto any bill embodying the principle of the Wit
mot Proviso. Since there is no longer a reasonable
hope that a second Whig candidate, openly and
thoroughly committed to Free Soil, can be chosen
President, why should not the Whig dissenters from
Gen. Taylor give their votes . at once to Mr. Van
Buren ?" *-
Muanea ur Scutivurtm. COrNTT.—We learn from
the, Pottsville Emporium that on Sunday last a mast
disgraceful fight occurred at the Plarnix mines,about
one and a half miles beyond Minersvillei which
rosnhed in the murder of one man, and the injury
of another to such an extent that his life is consider.
ed in danger. A quarrel occurred on Saturday even
ne, between Richard and Thomas Fitzpatrick, and
Michael Murphy, Thomas Butler and Mulrpy
in the Borough of Mineraville. On Sunday, the two
Fitzpatricks proceeded with a hostile design, to the
shantee where Murphy and the other two *ere,
attack ng or threatening to attack them ; a. fight en
sued in which knives and clubs were freely used,
dining which Richard Fitzpatrick was stabbed
through the heart and instantly killed, while his
brother Thos. was severely cut on the arm, and so
bruised with a club that his lite is considered in
danger. Thomas Butler and Mulroy were ar
rested, and after a heari ig before Justid, Taylor,
committed to take their trial at the September term
of our*Court. Michael Murphy, who is ritid by the
others to have give the fatal blow made 's escape.
BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB THE TAL'NTOt (NAM.)
BANB.—We leant from the Taunton Daily Gazette,
that two young men named John and Francis Leon-
Bau
ant, brothers were detected on Sunday in attempt
to break into the vault of the Tanton kr. They
had entered a coal shed adjoining the tk, dug
through the strong brick wall of the twilling about
three feet, and made same advancemen upon the
o
vault, which was built of granite about a fo ot thick,
and well secured with iron bolts. The e; were
detected by Mr. Charles J. H. Bassett, t cashier
of the bank. One of them was inamedi ely arres
ted. The other made his escape, but etas subse
quently captured. t'pon searching their; trunks at
their place of residence, goods were folind which
had been stolen from four different stores, that had
been broken into in Tatum' within about eight
months. John Leonard stated that they ; had been
at work onthe bank for three Sundays in Succession.
NOVELS AND Issmstrv.—The works of fiction
which the press has deluged the country with in the
last few years not only vitiate the taste and corrupt
the morals of the young, but an undue ndulgence
in their perusal is prodoctive of insanity, Dr Stokes,
of Mount Hope Institute for the Insane, says they
have had several cases of moral insanity+ for which
ix 3.5
no other cause could be assigned than e xcessive
novel reading. And nothing is more lik e) to induce
this disease than the education which era 'senti
ment instead of cherishing real feeling och as
result fmm the performance of active evoleuce,
sacred duty of ordinary life, and of religious Ohliga

nations without warming the heart ; and Ito borrow

of moral life."—Phslad. Ledger.
Gas. TA TLOR IN Omo.—Ashtabula county, which
gave Gen. Harrison two thousand eight hundred
majority, and is always good for two thousand,
refuses to support the nomination of Glen. Taylor.
The Sentinel, edited by the son of Joshua R. Gid
dings Esq., says the Whigs of that county will sup.
port no one who is not a wing, and who is not op
posed to the extension of slarery ; that they "will not
surrender their principles for a man who is in.favor
of extending the curse of slavery upon territory now
free, and electing new Slave markets on soil that
is now consecrated to the rights of man."
In addition to this, it is said that Mr. Giddings
himself will take the stump through the Western
Reserve, and perhaps thmughout the State, against
the nominations.—Bulido Ads:

REMARKABLIE ADVICWITrItE WITII A BEAR.--it was
one day during the present week that two boys,
sons of Seth bates, of Bradford township, in this
county, one perhaps fifteen and the , other not over
eight or ten years of age, discovered a very large
bear carrying a sheep through one of the fields.—
The oldest boy ran to the house, got a gun, gave.
chase, and on coming up to it, s hot,
and wounded
it in the nose. Re then commenced reloadmg his
gun, and whilst he was doing so, his brother ran
forward, or by some means (the particalars,we did
not learn) became engaged with the bear. The
older brother then ran to the relief of the little fel
low, and when he reached him received a stroke
from the bear on the arm, which knocked him
down, and the three then rolled together, gun and
all. Presently the older brother got loose, pulled
the gun from under the bear, and whilst it was
holding the child iu its arms, deliberately shot it
dead. •
The foregoing is the story precisely as it w a s
told to ns. That it may vary in some trilling par
ticular, or be but partially told, is . probable • but that
it is correct in the man there is no do ubt. The.
bear is represented to have been a very large one,
and to this fact, perhaps the lesser boy is indebted
for his life, and perhaps both of them, as his arms
were too long to crush so small an object, and the
wound in his nose and mouth prevented him from
tating.-L—Clernfteld Banner.

It has been proved that nearly every disease Co
the homey frame is subject, originates - from impurities
of the Blood or Derangements of the Digestive Organs;
and to secure Health, we must remove those obstructions
or restore the blood to its - natural state. This her is
universally known, but people have such an .evenisisH
to medicine, that, unless the cane is urgent, they prefer
the disease to the cure, until an impaired Constitutive
or • fit of sickness rebukes thenifor the folly of their am
duct. Still they 'Wad some excuse, for beedoffsre„ used
trine in almost all its forms, was nearly as disputing
as it was beneficial. Now, however, the evil is most of
fectually removed ; for Clickener's Vegetable Piergatire
Pills, being completely enveloped with • iorriait or
Mt". WHIT% sra•a,(which is distinct from the kernel)
have no taste of medicine, but are as easily swallowed
as bits of candy. Moreover they do not is/rulerte or
gripe in the slightest degree, which is =agleam( by the
fact that pre compounded on scientific principles, and
operate equally on all the diseased parts of the system,
instead of confining themselves to,.and racking asy.psr
ticular region, (which is the great and 'admitted evil of
every other purgative.) Hence ,they strike at the root
of Diseate, remove all impure hutnori from the blood,
open the pores externally and internally, proinote the
Insensible Perspiration, obviate flatulency; Headache,
&c.—separate all foreign and obnoxious particles from
chyle, eorhat the blood, of which it is the origin, mast
be thoroughly pure—secure a free and healthy action to
the Heart, Lungs and Liver, and thereby restore health
