lair - As certain Republican papers are so
snitch distressed on account of e fear (or hope)
that the South will re-open the slave irade,
we would_ suggest to them that there is litqe
- to be feared porn the noisy ravings of a few
ultra pro-slareu-ccen at the South, compared
to the acts of many anti-slavery rogues at
the :North. 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.

fore.
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

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. . T.-

The Most Daring Feat on Record.
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

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

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. Richardson L. Wright, _ the Demo
cratie candidate for Auditor General, arrived
in our village on Monday last ,!and left on
Tuesday for Chambered:mfg. 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."
