The trade being now carried on 'pally hi-Massachusetts abolitionists, it is not to be wondered at that there are a few at the South, who desire to be enabled 'to enter the field wit -a Chance for , fair competition, and thefore ask a repeal of 'tbe law, so that they may do as honest open handed business, compared with the_ tbeiiing tricks of their abolition rivals. /Mr - Reports from the southern elections come in Slowly, but the general results are pretty well known. - In Tennessee, -Harris, Democrat,is elicted Governor, by perhaps 9000 majority.

Air Two weeks ago we publishecia few of the "axioms" which are the texts of the whole, or a portion, at least, of the Northern party. The MontrOse Republican attempt's to explain away or refute &fel! of them... The first, ".Negroesare better than whites;" the editor says is ridiculous, and dodges by stating t bat the Republicans of Kansas db not advocate it. Cannot our neighbor write a paragrapli without dragging in Kansas? This kind of proof is like - trying to clear a crimin al of a charge by getting some man a thou sand miles distant to swear that be did not see him commit the Bct. If proof of the truth of_ our statement — be,needed, we refer those not posted, to the State . of Massachusetts, where the "Republican" partihave declared by a legislative enactment, that "Negroes are, better than elates:7—an enactment which webelieve meets the approval Of the Montrose Republican. • - -"Stealing from Southerners is tight;" the Republican tries to avoid by running off into a pathetic recital of the woes of slavery ; parently, forgetting the existence of the "un derground railroad," which has many con ductors among those of whom it is often its pleasure to speak in the highest terms of praise, and whose acts and docirines it hear tily approves. _ "A Christiancannbt execute or obey 'the laws of the United States ;" is admitted by the:Republican, in the cause of the Fugitive Slave Law. The editor might have gone much further and-admitted that.the entire radical portion of his party now pretend to curse this act assn unholy one, notwitstan& ing the fact that when common sense ruled the Opposition, they heartily endrirsed it; that hirnSelf and the leading men of his par ty in this region once sung hosannas to its praise—for some evidence of which we refer him to the "Scott and the Fugitive Slave Law," campaign of 1852, together with the speech of one of their noted worthies at Bal timore, in which a Our brethren niche South" were asstired that "tee of the Nor , th will stand by you on this great -question I" In re gard to the dodge about the African slave trade, we assure the - Republican that if he will restain Ids Northern abolition brethren from engaging-in the businesi for the doubt: purpose of making money and capital against the Administration, there will be little need of anxiety on,the subject, as it is Well known that a largemajotity of those engaged in the traffic are from the North, and especially from New England, where its warmest and most, active friends have always been found. "Part 'of the Constitution is unconkitu tional." In regard to this, the Republican says that no man of its party has been - found so great a fool as to propound such a proper. sition. If not fool: enough, plenty'are knaves enough, and -the Republican well knows it. The provision for the return of fugitives from I labor, is a part of the constitution , and he who decries the constitutionality of the law, repu diates the supreme law of the ha: The Republican attempts to deny that "Negro suffrage is commendable," according to its -patty's creed, by referring to Kansas, again. Why resort to a distant negative when the positive is so near home! Has not Republican Massachusetts given blacks tb. advantage of whites in this matter I and are not the Republicans of New York now striv- ing to engraft universal Negro suffrage upon the constitution of the State both of which acts, especially the first named, meets the hearty approval of the Montrose Republican. "Clergymen ought to preach - politics This well ' settled Reptiblican axiom, brings the editor upon both sides of the fence. He "does," and then be " don't ;" and finally says " that they ought net to go out of their way" to do it. We will briefly - dispose of this point by citing our neighbor to the oc casion in 1836, when Rev. Geo. Landon was brought some seven miles " out of his way,"— leasing his religions appointment unattended to—to preach politics at a party gathering in Montrose, wben be gave'vent to some of the foulest utterances which ever disgraced any decent sisemblage; Yet the editor of the Montrose Republican; instead of duisp proving of the act,' as.te now pretends to, went into ecstasies at the "beautiful image ry" of the,Reverend gentleman. = ! We trust that our neighbor will "refer to! others of these 'axioms,' another day;" when, judging by thoke be has already refer red to, he will only attempt to evade them, and we shall take pleasure in driving each of them home to his party. Siff" The Democrats of Berke county held a meeting on the 2d Mat, and among other acts passed- resolutions endorsing President Buchanan, the State ticket, etc. We copy the Buchanan resolution: Resolved, we have unabated coati -deuce in the , wisdomjntegrity and patnotism of the Administration of James Buchanan, and that in the bold, able, and successful manner in which the complex affairs of Gov ernment,in its foreign End domestic relations, have been sOriiinistered, we have a full real isation of the promises which were made to I the people ott behalf of oar first Pennsylvanikl President, asprocf of tie ripe statesmanship of Itried add faithful pliblic servant, who is worthy a plaie in the brilliant line of Demo cratic Presidents, whit.* boasts a Jefferson, a Madison, a Jackson, and a Polk.

Supt. -For the Montrose Democrat. Staff and Satebel Papers. N11:11BER roun I stepped' on board the cars at Hopbo:tom, 'on the morning of August Ist, bound for Weit Chester, Chester county, Pa., with a view ofl attending the-Pennsylvania State Teacheri' •Association. The first thing I desired to, know` was whether .anyone was to bear me company. I soon discovered Prof. Stoddard en route,- and found in his company my old and valued friend, Scott Harris, formerly Of Jackson, this county, but for several years pasta ono doctor- on the N.Y. do E. R. It. Absorbed in . a biny and animated conversation, we soon were Odium, to all the deep, low thun der of the rushing train, and the wild -sub limity of those grand old bills 'that stand on either Side of that narrow gorge through. which w s , passed after leaving HopbOttom. We soon crossed the Tunkbannook et Nich olson, crept- carefully along for two miles on the shoulders of' those rugged Tunkbannock bills, plunged ibto 'the Cimmerian darkness of their medieval depths, and aped away-into the valley of the Lackawanna. When .we left Scranton, our number had increased to upwards-of twenty, and we paled the bonds of Luzern.) county with twenty-five on board, all glowing with the happy thought of an annual pilgrimage to the educational Mecca. We threaded all the dreary waste of south ern Wayne and notate& Monroe, and final ly, at 1 o'clock, p. m., bong upon the dizzy summit of the Tobyb anna7 mountains. At this point Nature spreads out one of the moat magnificent views in Northern Pennsylvania. You find, yourself counting along the upper edge of the northern rim of a moat wonder ful basin. It is more than thirty miles across, and upwards of three thousand feet in depth. Circumscribed on the south by the bills along the northern bank of the Lehigh, on the west by the Blue Ridge, on the north by the To byhanne Mountains, and on the east by the lofty range of bills along the. Delaware, it present. one of the grandest landscapes in American scenery. And what,,gives an ad ditional charm to its loveliness is the dreamy, azure veil that rests, like a delicate drapery, over the Whole scene. Away twenty miles to the south, the Del aware, like an escaping prisoner, has divided this mountainous circumference and is rush ing wildly over a rocky bed to lose itself in theses. This divisiim is the far-famed Del aware Witer-Gap: it is a narrow gorge, but a few hundred feet in width, with Is sides rising three thousand feet above the bed of the river!, On either side the edges of huge stratas of aqueous rock follow the surface of the rising i4puntains as-high as the eve can reach,.(front the car windows,) and bear, at a little distance, the appearance of innumers 'ble battalions scaling the towering heights. Anyone that admires the grand in nature should look upon this wild, inspi!ing scene. I should imagine the climax of sublimity to be the witnessing of a sweeping, crashing thunder storm, from a projecting crag a thousand feet above the river. We have u yet ser o v but limited. Signs of cultivation since passing Scranton. An oc casional " wild cat," Rail Road station, that seems to have been dropped down in the middle of an almost interminable waste, is the only thing of interest that lends variety to the priuleval panorama. It is one hundred miles frogs the Montrisse Depot to the Delavkare Water-Gap, and the railroad for nearly two-thirds of this distance passes through an almost uninhabited country. At the Water-Gap we pass into New Jer sey, aid soon reach Bridgeville, where all passengers for Philadelphia leave the ears of the Lackawanna Railroad to ride in crowded backs for three miles to Belvidere, where they again take cars for Trenton: Six coaches were soon loaded to their utmost capacity, and an extra team that happened to be pass ing at the lime, was called into requisition to accommodate the surplus teachers and Profs. Away we whirled, through a clbud of dust and under a hot inn, over a pleasant, but un even and stony country. The harvest was prog•essing, bat the crops appeared to be generally light, and the corn was even inferior to that of Northern Penn sylvania. I saw several fields of potatoes with dying tops, but whether occasioned by maturity or the "rot" I was unable at . a dis tance to determine. The !Railroad follows the river very close ly to Trenton, the Capital of the State, a 6oe city, pleasantly located on the banks - of the Delaware, and probably a little larger than Reading in our State—ivy from twenty to twenty-five thousand inhabitants. The State House which is seen at the right hand in the north end of the city, is an ele gant wooden building, said to be one of the finest in the State, At the southern end of the city may be seen the building in which the State Normal School is held, and our is one in which the City Graded School is taught. ' As we parsed Phillipsburg, we saw Easton on the opposite side of the river, and recog nized on the heights north of the town, La Fayette College. The building is somewhat in years. and has little architectural beauty. We crossed into Pennsylvania again below Trenton, and run down to Tacony, twelve miles above Philadelphia, where we stepped on board the steamer "John Newton," at a little past sundown. I had for a long time been weary of the cars, and was anxious to get on board the steamer.. It was now verg ing upon a dusky twilight, and as the vessel moved ont into the current, all that was al most overwhelmingly grebe in Nature united with the triumphs of Art to enliven a scale of no common interest. The Delaware is hem more than a mile in width— Its surface was dotted in every di rection with steamers and lighter crafts of • almost every description, all brilliantly light ed, and shedding a fitful glare into the gloomy shadows that hung over the sombre waters. The whole western sky was blackened by an inky thtittder cloud that muttered forth at intervals its "sullen wrath," while across its ebon front vivid streaks of lightning darted at nearly every angle of the sky. A brisk breeze swept the hurricane deck, and now and then large drops of rain fell upon the canvas overhead. We neared the city at a little before nine, stepped upon the wharf at the foot Of . Walnut street, crowded our way through rt fierce,army of back drivers, and made our 'raj to the Union Hotel, in Arch street. We 'amid have reached West Chester the same night; but preferred to take an early, morning train, by which we arrived there at nine, a. m., on Tuesday morning. . We met the local committee and were dis posed of eccordbig.to the arrangements pre ?inlay made by them: It was our good fortune to be the guests of Aunt Ilerinak Davis, who has =soy relatives and friends in this county. Of the; Assochttian, West Chester, the -gerund ore which the Battle Of Brandywine was fought, (which I visited,) and other top of iaterest“ must speak of in another Piper. -I can only, say in this that it was asserted by the Philadelphia papers, and admitted on er r, head hy . frieeda front other States, that our Amomettou wens the hugest edeeatienal meeting err held in America. .

Than:gal° papers givens full particulars of N.Blondm'e performance on Thursday, which - almost exceeds belie& and yet n is nothing more than he bu performed hundreds of times in the arena. The daring of the present per foimaces consists in the fact that they take place at an elevation,of 200 feet above the surface of the swiftest current in the world, whose unknown depths no plummet haw L yet measured. From - 15,000 io 30,000 people lined tbe; precipitous and rocky batiks of the river dd 'lbis occasion, as it was generally understood that this was to be his last and most daring per•=- romance. At about 4 o'clock be made his appearance on the Canada side in order to see if that end of the cable was secure; after sat. iafyiog himself of which, be rode, by way of the bridge, to the 'other side, and about 4.30 he started on the perilous journey that' many appeared to think. would - eventuate in his death. Yet we doubt if M. Biondi° thought anything more about death at that particular moment than he does when sitting down to dinner. He really ran along the rope, occa sionally stopping as if tq recover his breath, end made the passage from the American to the Canada ride in '4 minutes andl2 seconde a distance of 601 rods. The excitement on the part of those who, witnessed the daring feat ; was intense; but they were destined to be still more thrilled by the incomparable 'Blondin,- who twenty minutes after hi. fiat landing, started on his return. He proceeded about one.third of the distance when be.stiddenly—dropped astride the rope, simultaneous with which 'sharp lit tle screams issued from the throats of sympa thetic females, - .who were reassured of Mr. Bloodin's power to sustain himself as he laid down on the cable, at his full length. for a moment, and then, after • few feats of agilty, such ass monkey would display on the branch of a tree, stood with his shoulder on the rope: Prostrating himself again, he took hold of his balance pole as it lay on the cable, and with bands three feet apart, again erected bis feet; but whether Iris head rested on the rope or the balancing pole, we cannot ear. ' At the middle of the cable, Where there are no guys attached to it, and directly over the rapid current, he swung himself below the rope, and then Flirted his body lack and forth - between his arms; then suspended him self by one arm; then by one leg; then with his body below the rope, but to which 'he clung with his hands and feet, he went rapid. ly some distance and back, hand over hand, foot over foot; and then recovering the pole, which be made fast to one of the guy*, he went along a further and repeated the feat of walking on his head. He made sev eral somersaults upon the rope, corning-down invariably astride of it. At one time he a muse] thetspectators by acting like a drunk en man, or as Aim was trying to fall off the rope, oscillating ae much as it would admit. of. 'When standing on his head he would move his feet in the most ludricous, apparent ly careless ,manner. Balancing- himself on his chest on the cable, be made, viry the movements necewary in swimming, which feat drew loud cheers and laughter from . the tp•ctators. Indeed. at the conclusion of each feat be was loudly Cheered - by the assembled multitude on either bank. Expressions of as tonishmeut were universal. We doubt if M. Bloodin bas an equal-in successful testa of da ring. Ile appeared to be perfectly self-por missed, and fully equal to the accomplishment of any daring feat io the power of man ; and we s don't believe be will allow any one to ex cel him. • A .tuar Costrmists-r.—The Democratic candidate for tiditor General, recently called at McConnellsburg, on bts return from a bri. f visit to Bedford Springs; and his presence at the runner place is thus justly noticed by the Fulton Democrat : 'Hen.

Whilst bete be mingled freely with the people and made 'a very favorable impression upon all who 'be came ac9oainted with him. He is a plain, unassuming gentleman, exceedingly affable. and pleasant in his mamma, and without doubt an honest and a good man. For the last seven years he has been either a member of the house of Representatives or of the_Sen ate of this Commonwealth, and during his term of service his conduct has been charac terized by a straightforward, manly and hon est course. 'Een in the tainted atmosphere of Harrisburg, his character for .honesty and integii.y stsnds opimpeached and unicopeaCh able. He has ever been a fearless and con sistent Democrat, and whilst he has stood up for the principles of our party he has nut done so at the expense of justice and right. The record of his votes during en unusually long .term of publicrservice will abundantly prove . his henesty as a man - and his devotion to Democratic principles. His nomination is a credit to the patty, and should be be elected (as we have no doubt he will be,) we are well convinced from our long Pcquaintanee with him, that be will make not only an able and industrious officer, bat an bonest one; .and that be will administer the duties of the im portant office for which' he is a candidate, with fidelity-to the interests of tbeCornmon wealth and its citizens."
