L. Habfeb, gcc'y. We have barely room to call the atteii lion of bur Democratic friends aud readers to the able and eloquent Aildress of the Democratic ' State Central Committee, which we publish in this day’s paper. Let every friend of Pennsyl vania and of the Uuiou give this Address a care ful perusal. Another Glorious Meeting In favor of the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad* The. Rooms of the Board of Trade were crowd ed last night by our citizens to hear the report of the committee appointed at a previous meet ing to visit Philadelphia. George Darsie, Esq., and Capt Charles Naylor, two of that commit tee, give the result of their visit, and spoke of the kindness and courtesy shown them in Phila. adelphia, and the good feeling which prevails in that city concerning the Pittsburgh, Steuben ville.and Columbus R&llroad. Mr. Peter Liv ingston, of Florence, made a very sensible speech in favor of this great route to the West. Wc give a short;report of his remarks in anoth er part of this morning’s paper. The meeting last night was uncommonly en . thuaiastic, and showed that the people of Pittsburgh are wide awake on the subject of making a Railroad to Steubenville, there to'unite with the road to Columbus and Cin cinnati. .There is now but one feeling pre vailing in this community on this subject, and that is, to build tin Steubenville Railroad unthout delay. . Every Pittsburgher is now considered ns enlisted in the good work. All doubt is at an end—the Road will certainly be made within 18 months or two years at the farthest. The election for Judicial officers in the State of Missouri, on Monday week, terminated, so far as heard from, as follows : Messrs. Gam ble,^lNapton and Ryland are elected by the State at large as Judges of the Supreme Court. In the city and county of St. Louis, Judge Hamil ton, the. present incumbent, is'elected Circuit Judge; Judge Treat to the Court of Common Pleas, and Judge Colt as Judge of the Criminal Court. All of the three latter named persons are National Democrats, and were opposed by regular nominees of the Bentonites or Free Soilers. Where is Gov. Johsston?— The Whig Gover nor of Pennsylvania, instead of remaining at Harrisburg, to discharge his official duties, as required by law, is now perambulating the State, making political speeches, and abusing the De mocratic party.. Let the honest voters of the Commonwealth remember that they aro taxedio pay the’Govcmoris traveling expenses! “Traveling Cabinet. 7 ' —The New York Her ald estimates that Mr. Fillmore and Ms secreta ries hove traveled, this spring and summer, in round numbers, 20,000 miles, in little trips of a few days, here and there. “In this estimate we include the neoessary return travel to Washing ton of several absentees of the cabinet, and an estimate of the trip to the Virginia White Sul phas Springs, proposed to be undertaken nexV Tuesday: The Tariff of 7 4G keeps, the wheels of government well greased —no creaking-—nothing to do. After December next, the president and cabinet will probably be detained at Washing ton until March, 1853, when it is likely they will all set out on.their travels together.'' The Austrian Loax.— The report that -the- Austrian loan of 60,000,000. florins has teen ta ken by Baron James Bothschild, proves to be erroneous. A letter from Vienna of July 201 U says:—“How things will eventually be arranged no one can pretend :to say, but those most ...ac quainted trith the intentions of the Paris finan cier, assert, that he might not perhaps be disin clined to take 10,000,000 or 15,000.000 florins on his own account and the rest of the loan on com mission. Nothing whatever is known of the, the conditions demanded and offered,’ Counterfeits.— The Carlisle (Pa*)- Democrat says that there is at present ,an immmense deal of counterfeit money, principally “two's” on the “Lancaster Bank,” and the “Farmers' Bank of Lancaster,” now circulating in that county. It is suspected that there is a direct agency at work in that county toassist in getting these notes in to circulation.

We present below ml extract of'uletter to the Editor, written by.a friend at Dresden,; Muskin gum county, Ohio, which trill show to onr read ers the feeling which exists in Central Ohio, in favor of the Pittsburgh and Steubenville ;Rail ood. The people in the range of the counties between Steubenville and Colnmbus,-ore wide awake to the importance of connecting them 'lvos by a direct Railroad with our city: Dresden, 0., Avgust 7, 1851. Me. llaepee :— -Knowing the interest you 1 take in ' Railroad mutters, which point towards your j city, I take theliberty of advising you what is doing in this region. J The Railroad fever? has fairly taken hold of our people. Some enthusiastic meetings have been held here within the last week ; and,' as we intend to show, will- terminate in the -right kind of action. The energy with whioh the di rectors of the S teubenville and Indiana Railroad, are pushing oii their enterprise, and the noble manner in which your people have at last taken hold of the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail road, show us that wo must not remain inactive. Feeling- now assured that the direct link-from Steubenville to your city will 'not remain open, all eyes in this region are now turned to the S and I. R. R., and thence direct to your city and Philadelphia. A. BURKE, Chairman Several propositions have been offered here to giro ns an Eastern railroad connection; but now that a-direct route is offered, no one here thinks of any other. Indeed the idea of starting off towards Lake Erie to get on to another road to be taken to your city, which has been proposed in some quarters, is looked upon as too absurd to be thought of. What we want, is the shortest and most direct route to the East. The Steub enville and Pittsburgh. Railroad offering that route, we have taken hold of it, Mid will do our duty. This township is one of the wealthiest,—and with the exception of the township in which I Zanesville is situated, the most wealthy in Mus- I kin gum county. Our broad Muskingum and j Tomaka bottoms are unsurpassed in fertility; i and our town furnishes a convenient centre for I the concentration of the produce of the country, I before its shipment on the Ohio Canal, or Mus kingum Slackwater, of which improvement this place is the ; head. I regret that I have not time to give you statistics of this town and township; I may find it convenient'''.to do so hereafter.. But of this you may rest assured, that when the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroads are built, you will hear from us in the way of business and large shipments of produce. The same feeling which exists here in regard to this great work, and most direct and central railroad, extends through , the country on to Newark. Our people ..will not be caught by such chalf as Hempfield or northern routes, so long as a shorter and better is offered in the work now under contemplation. Yours, &c., F. L. A. DISTRICT COURT. It is with great pleasure that we insert the l following communication on the "subject of the] nomination of judges for the District Court- It I comes from a democrat of standing and influ-1 euce, who is well able to judge of the qualities I of the gentlemen named; and we may add, who j does not know that they are. most eminently qualified and worthy ? I Mr. Editor :—There can be ho more import- j ant question before the next Democratic County Convention, that this—Who are to be the judges of the District Court ? for there is no court in the State so important to our citizens. Its busi ness has become immense, and it cannot be per formed without men of great legal learning and prompt and laborious business habits. Hitherto we have, had such men in an eminent degree. Grier, Dallas, Shaler, Hepburn, Lowrie, in what other part of the State are .their equals to be found? Why should we hesitate as to our choice. Judge Lowrie has been placed in nomi nation for the Supreme Bench, and his election will do credit to our county. Judge Hepburn has won the most enduring esteem of the whole country by the manner in which he has perform ed the office of President Judge, and all con cede that he should be nominated for the place. Judge Shaler was one of the best judges the court ever had; let him be nominated as Asso ciate Judge. ‘ FRANKLIN. Ohio.— r-The Democrats and Whigs, of Ohio, have both completed their State tickets.

The Awful Condition of Whiqqeby. —The Louisville Democrat, in speaking of the total rout of Whiggery in Kentucky, .says : | “Wo may, however, set down the result as a general, rout of the whig party. An iminense amount of decency is rubbed out and suppress ed—and a multitude of the lights of whiggery will hereafter bum dimly. We may look upon whiggery hereafter aa extinct. There is not a State now that can he counted for the national 'whig party. There are several States not dem ocratic, but they are only abolition, whilßt they claim to be whig. ; Aems fob South Carolina. —The Woonsocket (R. 1.) Patriot says: “The cannon for the would-be Southern Re public are being made by Messrs. Ameß, of Ca botvillc, Massachusetts. The order was first sent to a Virginia company, but it failed, and the se cessionists were compelled to get the order filled north of Mason and Dixon’s line, which they had avowed they would not do. The statement which we originally made, to wit, that the small arms for South Carolina were being made at Milbury, we are again assured, is oorrect, not withstanding the disavowal of the Charleston Mercury." The Columbus, Piqaa and Indiana Rail road is moving forward with a steady and rapid pace. The workmen will Boon be busily en gaged all along the line, and the contracts are to be completed by the first of September next year. So in eighteen months the cars will be running on this important thoroughfare.

The Late Liquor Seizure nt Portland. — The seizure of liquor upon the, Atlantic wharf in Portland,'on Friday last, has caused more ex citement than any previous act of the kind, as it involves an important question, viz: whether liquors tn fnrarite, to places: within'and without the State, can be taken; condemned, and des troyed. A large portion of that which was seized Was addressed to different parties: in New Hampshire. The Argus states that the “city authorities do not stop the New Hampshire li quor if it is going bona fide to New Hampshire, but insists that the brand “New Hampshire” is but a cover which has been practised lutherto, when the liquor is really intended for some town in that State.” *- * [ ' -• » i- ' / X * I * ' ADDB-ES S OF THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. To the People oj'pemisylvanw , Fellow Citizens— Tho Central Committee, ap pointed by tbe Democratic : Convention, which assembled at Reading on the 1 4th of June last, have resolved to. address you on some of the questions which ore to bo decided at the next general eleotion. : We approach the performance of this duty with, we trust, a proper sense of the responsibility it imposes upon us, and with a , full determination neither to exaggerate the im | portanceof the issues. now pending before you, I nor to use any arguments which are in the least unfair. The effect which our election in this State may have on the Unibn of the States, and on the great interest of the whole country, will claini our attention first —because this is a considera- tion, which transcends all others in magnitude. We solemnly believe that the re-election of Gov. JOHNSTON would be fraught with danger to the peace of the country, imd with consequent ruin to our. commerce, foreign. and domestic; while we are equally well assured that the election of Cdfc BIGLER would be everywhere hailed, by all true patriot, as a proof that our good old | State, ever loyal to the Constitution,' is still as I true as steel to the great principles for which | our fathers shed: their blood. ‘ The Constitution of the United States is a most ingenious piece of workmanship. The wisdom displayed in. the organic structure of our whole system, is only equalled by the patriotism which induced all the States, severally, to give up what was neceßßary for the general good. One great principle pervades the whole instru ment; and that is, that each State, within her own - sphere, is absolutely sovereign, and free to do precisely as she pleases in regard to her own internal concerns. Any interference of the peo ple of one State with the domestic affairs of an other, is not only unconstitutional and unlawful,- but it is sure to be bitterly resented as indecent. Pennsylvania shares as largely in. this spirit as i her sisters; and would rebuke intermeddlers in [ her busipess as sternly as any of them. This condition of things inake9 it absolutely necessary that the States should abstain from all imperti- nent interference with one another ; or else the harmony which’is necessary to the .perpetuity of the Union, will be broken up and destroyed. When kindness of feeling,; and confidence in One another, have onco disappeared, the Union will not last very long—for it cannot possibly be held together by force or fear. The Czar of Russia may tamo his Polanders with the knout—the Emperor of Austria may reduce Hungary to submission by murdering men and scourging women—and the British Government may keep Ireland in. subjection by starvation and the bayonet—but if the Stated of this Union cannot remain united, without such appliances, they will inevitably separate. We are united by ; moral ties —not held in reluctant connection by means of physical poxcer. Our feelings of frater nal kindness—our reciprocal justice and regard for one another’s rights—our veneration for .the name of our common father, the great Washing ton—our recollection of the revolutionary blood that was mingled together in the 9ame by the men of all sections—our love of liberty our pride of empire—-the boundless commercial prosperity which the Union will give us, and tbe shuddering consciousness that an unspeak able ruin awaits us if that Union is broken up— these are the bonds of our common brotherhood I and whenjthese are once severed, the Union will | cease. to exist, as surely as the planetary sys- I tom would fall into confusion if the law of at- traction were annihilated. To preserve them in all their force is the most sacred duty we owe to ourselves, to our couufrymen, and to ourchil- Negro slavery does not exist in the northern States, while in the Southern States the people have not determined to abolish it. This differ ence in our domestic institutions has given rise to discussions which, at different times, have threatened us with serious danger. The people of Pennsylvania have never lent a favorable ear to the abolition agitators. We . are thankful that we have nothing to do with slavery, and that Providence has thrown the whole responßi bility of dealing with that difficult and danger ous subject upon the States where it exists. We cannot intermeddle in it without violating the Constitution, and, if we could, we would not. The north has the numerical force which enables her, at all times, to control every branch of the United States Government, Executive and Legis lative. We ought, therefore, to behave with the magnanimity which becomes the stronger party. If nothing else would prevent us from taking an unworthy advantage of our strength, a proper sense of self-respect and dignity should restrain us. The south is powerless for any purpose of aggression upon us, and has no protection but the Constitution, unless she resorts to a revo lutionary 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 tho kindling of excite ment against the south. Coarse vituperation against all southern men, and abusive epithets, harshly dealt upon all northern.men, who ven tured to put in a plea for their constitutional rights, was tho fashion of these politicians. The southern people, in consequence of these inces sant and bitter assaults, were in a state of high excitement at the termination of the war with Mexico. A vast territory had been conquered, at the expense of southern, as well ns northern, blood and treasure. The contest which then came on in Congress, was long, angry and doubt ful. The boldest men feared, and the wisest could not forsce what might happen. But a compromise wnß at length effected. This com promise consisted of five distinct measures, all of which, except one, gave tho 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, notwithstand ing all complaints of irregularity and unjustifiable extension 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 large part of her territory, for the consideration of .ten millions pf dollars, and thus removed tho territory, bo purchased, from the jurisdiction of a slave State. 4. A law was passed abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia. o. The fugitive slave law was passed. None of these laws, except the last one, was any advantage to the South, or calculated to do the South any service. The fugitive slave law they asked for in. return, and it was granted to them, solely because they mere entitled to it by the express words of the Constitution. . To prevent any mistake, we will transcribe from that sacred in strument the section which relates to- this sub ject. .“No person held to labor or service in one State under the laws thereof escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from' such service or labor , but shall BE DELIVERED UP 071 claim of the party to mhqln such service or labor may be due." Surely no part of the Constitution is more plainly written than this, nor no duty more clearly defined, or more easily understood, than that whioh it imposes. When it is recollected that a law for the execution of this provision was all we gave the South, it seems like an insult to the people to doubt that they will stand 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 most of the southern States the old party lines have been nearly altogether obliterated, and the people have divided into tho Union and seces sion parties. The Union men assert their con fidence in the justice and honor of the north, and their belief that we will stand by the Com promise, and permit the Constitution to be exe cuted. The secessionists, on the other hand, base their opposition to the Union on the sup posed treaohery of the north, and declare their opinion, that the fugitive slave law will be so opposed,- and its repeal Or modification so loudly demanded, that they cannot hope for quiet,,or peace or justice, according to the measure of the Constitution. The Union- party is now in the majority in all the States except South Car olina ; but their enemies and the enemies of the Union, will overwhelm them With defeat, rif wo demonstrate to them, that our loyalty to the Constitution, and our submission to the terms of the compromise, cannot, be relied on. No wonder that all friends of the Union, whether Whigs or Democrats, are waiting for pureleotion with beating hearts and breath suspended 1— Snail we give the triumph to our enemies—to those who charged us with treachery to those who assert that we carried the compromise by false pretences, and that we are not to be trust ed to execute the Constitution ? .Or shall we so decide as to sustain our friends, who have defen ded our character, and'staked their success up on our fidelity to the compromise ? The Democracy of Pennsylvania, loyal and true to the Constitution, have taken their ground in the following resolutions-. Resolved, That the time has arrived, when not only the prosperity of our people, but the pre servation of our blessed Union, require that the Democratic party, in all its measures, shall strictly and faithfully adhere to the fundamental principles established by its wise, patriotic and glorious founders; and among the most impor *"J'_ 1 »* 1 * " '**■— ** V - J"_ *__ timt of these principles, we may enumerate a striot of fee''Constitution of the United States—a total abstinence on the part Of Congress, from the exercise of all doubtful powers—a sacred regard for the rights reserved by the sovereign States Qf which the confeder acy is composed—an ohsolute non-interfercnce .by the people ofthe .several' States, with the domestic-institutions peculiar to each—and a rigid economy in the expenditure of the taxes raised from the people—confining the appro priations of public money by Congress to na tional objects, plainly authorized by the Consti tution. ' Resolved, That had these vital principles of Democracy been faithfully observed iu the.adr ministration of the National Government since the advent of the Whigs to power, on the,'4th of March, 1849, we should not how witness'the spirit of discord and alienation which at present prevails between-the North and South, on the question of domestic slavery—threatening as it does eventually, to dissolve the Union, Nor should ere have to deplore the enormous appro priations of public money, approaching in a time of peace to the war standard of expendi ture, and endangering an entail upon our pos terity of the fatal incubus of a permanent na tional debt. b' Resolved, That thojDemocratio party of Penn sylvania are true to the Union,-the Constitution and the laws, and will faithfully observe and execute, so for as in them lies, all the measures of compromise adopted by the late Congress, for the purpose of settling the question arising out of domestic slavery, and this not only from a sense of duty as good citizens of. the republic, but also from the kind and fraternal feelings which they cherish towards their brethem of the slaveholding States. • Resolved, That the, sixth section of the act of theLegislatnre of passed on the 8d of March, 1849, denying, under severe penality,: the use of our State jails for tho de tention of fugitive slaves, while awaiting their trial, ought to bo expunged from our statue books, both because it interposes obstacles,; by meaus -of State- legislation, to the execution of the provisions of tho Constitution of the United States, and because it ia a virtual disregard of the principles of the compromise, and is calcu lated seriously to endanger the existence of the Union. Resolved, That in Col. William Bigler, bur candidate for Governor, we recognize a long tried, able andfoithful Demoorat.inwhom there is no guile, and n man, who - by ‘his own pre eminent merit, has risen to the exalted position which he now holds in the aflectlon and respect of-his fellow citizens. We hail him as the worthy representative .and chosen standard bearer of our great and glorious principles; and pledge ourselves to do battle for the cause of Democracy under bis banner, until we shall aohievc a signal victory and redeem the Key stone State from the; misrule of its present Whig Governor. Resolved, That we will cordially support the election of Seth Clover, as Canal Commissioner, believing him to be an able, honest and incor ruptible Democrat, and well qualified to dis charge the duties of that important and highly responsible office. Resolved, That in the matter of levying duties on foreign imports by the General- -Government, we are in favor of the reciprocal interchange of onr products with the other nations of the earth, in consonance with the enlightened spirit of the age, recognizing clearly the practice of the Go vernment to maintain and preserve in fnll vigor and safety, all the great industrial pursuits of the country. These resolutions from the two solid columns on which the Democracy ofthe State and nation rest so far as this question is concerned. Let them be prostrated, ' and the Union itself will crumble to pieces. Col. Bigler has given sanc tion to the sentiments they embody in the most uuequivoenl and emphatic language. On the other hand, the Whig Contention, which met at Lancaster, refused to pledge! their', party to an unconditional support Ofthe fu gitive slave law. A resolution was offered to that effect, but it was voted down by a large majority. They nominated acandidate for Governor who was, and is, openly opposed to it. Gov.' John ston, in his message of January, 4851; took strong ground against it., .In bib speech’ before the Lancaster Convention lie deolared that if he tad been a member of Congress be would have voted against it. He went still further, and ex pressed tho opinion that it ought to be so chang ed as tomakc it “ more consonant to the wishes of the people, more acceptable to them, and more comformable to truth, justice and the re quirements of tho Constitution.” These arc the strong words in which he has chosen to assert that the law is fake, wjust and unconstitutional —for that is the substance of his denunciation of it. Wo do not pretend. to know what he means by the allegation that it is not “confor \ viable to truth.” That Washington approved a law in 1793 identical with this in principle, is some authority in favor of its justice, and the solemn decision of every judioial tribunal where the question has been raised, ought to settle its constitutionality. But Mr. Johnston is oppos ed to it, and, for his opposition, he has thought proper to give absurd reasons rather than none. H . . When wo spcakof Gov, Johnston’s opposition to this law, we arc hot to bo understood as say ing that he has ever avowed his determination to oppose it by force, orresist its execution with buckshot and ball as one of his predecessors op posed and resisted the election law, but we do assert that he is opposed to the law as it stands, and in favor of agitating for its repeal, and thus defeating the great purpose for which it as well os the other, compromise measures were en acted, namely, a final and peaceful settlement, of the perplexing and dangerous subject to which they relate. But this is not the only evidence Gov. Johns ton has given of his disloyalty to the Constitu tion. A law was passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania in the year 1847, One section of which forbids, under the severest penalties, the use of the jails for the confinement of a runaway slave. At the time of tho passage of tlfib act there was no law in existence authorizing agents or . commissioners of the United States to commit fugitives from labor to prison. It was, therefore, almost a dead letter on the statute book. But, when the “ fugitive slave law" of September, 1850, was passed, it wits found almost impossible to execute its provisions unless this part of the Pennsylvania statute should bo repealed. Ac cordingly, the friends of the Union, consisting of Whigs and Democrats,, proposed.lts repeal early in the Inst session of the Legislature. The utmost influence of Governor Johnston’s special udherents was exerted to prevent the passage of this repealing bill, and they succeeded in staving it off until very nearly the close of the session. Then, however, it was passed, and presented to him for his approval. He refused to sign it on the pretext that he had not sufficient lime for reflection! He has not signed it yet, nor has he given his friends any reason to hope that he will sign it— but, oh the contrary, the abolitionists confident ly expect him to veto it, and he as confidently expects their votes in consideration, thereof. Iu suoh ways as these has Governor Johnston committed himself irrevocably to the purposes of those heartless agitators who have already, driven us to the verge of destruction, and who, if they are now backed by a majority in Penn sylvania, will plunge us into utter ruin, and an archy. . . The Governor has attempted to justify the ex periments he proposes to make on the temper of the people, by declaring that the Union is in no kind of danger. He ridicules, scouts and sneers at the idea that the Union oan possibly be dis solved by any cause whatever. He thinks” it strong enough to stand anything. In this confi dence he is very singular. The greatest, best, and wisest men in the country, of all parties, have thought and do now think, that unless jus tice' and moderation prevail in our councils, wo are in danger. It can scarcely bo believed 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 that anxiety for the Union lay heavy on his heart for many years of his life.,: Still Mr. Johnston is, without doubt, very sincere. . It would be un charitable to believe that he would advocate the doctrines he does advocate, for the mere sake of' a few abolition if he could see the effect of them as others see it. : We are no alarmists. 'We, too, believe that the Union will not be dissolved. -But we base that opinion on our firm conviction' that Gov. Johnston will be defeated by a large majority;— But, if we could believe that Governor Johnston,, with such opinions SS he has expressed, and such measures as he is pledged to, could p6ssibly_.be elected,' our confidence in:the safety of the ; umon would he very much diminished. We have al ready said that public opinion in the south is di vided between adherence to, the Union and seces sion from it The Union men are our friends, the friends of the north, the friends of the.whole country. They vindicate usi when our fame is assailed by onr foes,' and boldly risk aU them po litical hopes on our good faith. Never has any set of men made a braver or more successful struggle, than the friends of Union and the com promise have made infiß.the.Southern States except South Carolina. But these friends of ours adhere to the cause on one express;condi tion* and that is r that the fugitive slave-law shall., remain on onr statute hook as it is, and be faith- V * t ‘ **■* r .5. >r..Vr —.*-■.
