Col. Bigler tn Pittsburgh.
By a despatch from Harrisburg, dated on
yesterday, we are informed that Col. Biqler
will address the citizens of Pittsburgh on Fri
day, the 12lA of September.
Eg?* An article in reply to the Gazette's tory
sentiments respecting the late Cuban outrage,
will appear to-morrow.
Hon. Johh M. Bead, a distinguished
lawyer of Philadelphia, is now in this city. Ho
was Attorney General of this State during the
administration of Mr. Van Boren.
Old Allegheny Bridge. —Notwithstanding
the efforts of oertain gentlemen to. destroy the
old Allegheny Bridge, sales of the stock were
made yesterday at $34 per share, bring $9
ah ore the par value. Our “law and order”
loping neighbor of the Gazette will please notice
the above fact
eov. JOHNSTON'S ABOLITIONISM.
Gov. Johnston agrees with the Abolitionists
is demanding that the right of trial by jury
shall be incorporated in the fugitive slave law,
and this is the amendment which he claims in
the name of the Whig party, and which he is now
advocating stamp, aided by the position
in which the Whig party hoe placed him.
Now, it is very easy in speaking on such a sub
ject to make a parade of justice to the. free
colored man, and reverence for the right of trial
by jniy; but these are the mere pretences of po
litical and personal Toguery, by which the inno
cent are sometimes entrapped, and with which
the meanest hypocrisy clothes itself in order to
conceal its odious deformity.
One of our covenants, in uniting together as
states, is that fugitive slaves shall he delivered
op, and all truly honest oitizons are determined
that, so far as they have power, this covenan t
shall be faithfully fulfilled. But the open abo
litionist, with bold dishonesty, repudiates the
covenant, and declares that he will throw all
the obstacles that he can in the way of its ful
filment. For this reason, he wishes to make
the legal procedure so tedious and expensive
that the Bervioea of the slave will not repay the
oost of his recovery, and thus effectually to dis
courage the pursuit of such fugitive.
And to increase the ■ expense nnd trouble of
the pursuit, and the improbability of its suc
cess, he wishes a trial by jury. Why? For
the very obvious reason that a verdict is the
unanimous finding of twelve men, and he hopes
that, in many or even in most cases, there may
be at least one man on the jury who will be so
regardless of the laws of the land and his. own
political covenant and his own solemn oath, as
to refuse to find against a slave, even on the
clearest evidence.
We say that the open Abolitionist, with bold
dishonesty, avows these as ids motives for de
manding the amendment, and we can readily
see that there may be in his mind eame charity
for the slave, by which he excuses his political
dishonesty. Not so, however, with Gov. John
ston. With him there is no excuse that he is
guided by charity for the slave,- or apprehension!!
for the colored free man. He seeks a violation
of the constitutional rights of the master out of
no love for any man hut himself. Under the
cloak of generosity to the colored mon, he tries
to conceal the lowest and most hyprocritieal sel
fishness. He seeks nothing but the votes of
abolitionists, and those who. are infeoted with
abolition sympathies.
By the course whioh he hoe adopted, he re-
pudlates the principles of the Union Whigs and
sots up for himself. Will the Whigs of Pennsyl
vania still support him ? ' Ho denies their faith,
Will they Still acknowledge him as their - leader?
Will they allow one, whom they have raised
out of a very low pit, to change their creed,- or
to draw them into advocating suoh principles ?
Will they sustain one who is pnblishing, in their
name, suoh political .heresies? Honesty de
mands that they should pnblioly disown him.
iffl- By the late treaty with the Sioux, the
United States obtain the title to twenty-ant mil
lion aera of land lying east of a tine drawn from
the head waters of the* Bed river to the north, to
interseot the north-western comer of the State
of lowa* The purchase- includes part of the
magnificent Blue Earth river country, and that
around the head waters of the Des Moines and
St. Peters rivers. The Indians axe allowed to
-wnntn on the land two years. They receive for
this immense trapt $276,000, and the me, for
■ 60 years, o!about a million and a-quarter. Itis
proposed' to call the new territory Daootah,
Which vre decidedly approve. Bet as many me

jj»Sy The Charleston Mercury of the 18th
iiut mentions the arrival at that port, within a
ftw days past, of two ships from Liverpool, la-
with highly valuable cargoes,; and that a
barqure was hourly expected from Bio Janeiro,
jaden with 4000 bags of coffee and 700 hides.
$BO,OOO F**.—Tom Corwin, the Whig Secre
i tary of the Treasury, made $BO,OOO out of the
5l Gardner claim in one week. It would require a
laboring man or mechanic to livt and work too
hundred and tuty-tuytert, at one dollar per day,
to make this pun.
Within the lost week there seems not to have
been so much alarm in the Eastern cities, about
money matters, os had been manifest for two or
three weeks previous; but money still commands
from 12 to -15 per cent.. Indeed, it is not won
derful that a degreo of alarm should have been
felt: for the rapid and very extensive 1 contrac
tion by two or three of the leading-New York
Banks, deeply affected a large number of the
commercial men of that city, and such acir
oumstanoe affects not New York alone, but every
Atlnntio city. Capitalists, however, would now
seem to be relaxing a little, and this, while in
creasing their profits, will, for a time at least,
help those who are now embaraesed, and perhaps
save many of them from ultimate ruin. Wo are
inclined to think, however, that a crisis is ap
proaching, for which it would be well to be pre
pared. The banks of the whole country have
swelled their issues to a wonderful extent with
.in the last eighteen months; and 'unless. they
shall give a long time to those now indebted, to
them, and shall manage their own affairs judici
ously, we look upon a crash as inevitable within
a year at most. In this we may he mistaken,
and we conld hope that we shall bo; -but there
are no creditors so heartless as Bank corpora
tions ; and, therefore, we look upon it os an in
evitable consequence of the immense expansion
that has taken place, that we shall have a cor
responding revulsion. The eastern merchants
have large sums due to them; and unless these
amounts can be realized, many of them itiust fail;
and a few failures of suoh as have been regarded
as heavy houses, would soon sot the ball in mo
tion that would crush hundreds of others. Bat
there is a way by which the severity of the blow
that may be expeoted will be lessened; and that
may oanso it to he scarcely felt: that is,—let all
those indebted to the merchants pay what they
owe, or at least as much os they can, at tho ear
liest practicable moment; and they will find that
even their own business will bo improved by it
For there never was a monetary crisis that did
not occasion panio, and in the midst of a panic
even those most able to buy aro often deterred
from doing so, under the apprehension that mat
ters may yet get worse.
[AUGUST 29, 1861,
Wo do not Bee, amid the temporary panic that
has beon created, that any of the more substan
tial stocks of the country have suffered; odd,
indeed, bat a slight effect has been produced up
on those known as Fancies; but the former of
these must suffer in case of a serious pressure,
and the latter of course become of very ques
tionable value. Effects produced in the money
market are, however, generally sudden in their
manifestation; and all those interested in stocks
of every description would do well to know, if
possible, the real state of tho Companies in
which they are interested. All make a fair show
until a time of embarassment and panic; and
then, too often, those which had seemed to be
most fairly conducted, prove to be among themost
unsound and corrupt.
Every day we are receiving additional evi
dence that the Democracy of Pennsylvania are
for James Buchanan as thoncXt Democratic can
didate for tho Presidency.
Tho following resolution was adopted by the!
Democrats of Northampton county, at their
meeting at Easton, on the 18th insti
Resolved, That as for half a century the great ;
Stite of Pennsylvania has never been permitted
to fill the Presidential chair from among its
own people, and has thus as it were silently
admitted her own inferiority, it is time to
abandon the position, and to vindicate our own
dignity, by presenting ths name of James Bu
chanan, whose commanding talents, sound de
mocracy—and matured experience os a states
man and a Diplomatist so signally fit him for
the station.
The Democratic Convention of Lebanon coun
ty met on Thursday last, and appointed Messrs.
David B. Marshall and William Murray, dele
gates to the State Convention, and unanimously
instructed them to support the nominstion of
Hon. James Buchanan for the Presidency. The
following is the resolution of instructions;
Resolved, That the name and fame of James
Buchanan are dear to every trne Pennsylvanian
and his long faithful and able services to the
democratic party and to the country entitle him
to the highest honors in their gift, and we there
fore instruct our delegates to the next State
Convention to use every honorable means to se
cure his nomination for the office of President
of the United States by that body, and in suoh
case not to vote for any man as delegate to the
Democratic National Convention, who is not
openly and avowedly in favor of his nomination
for that office.
The Lebanon Advertiser, the organ of the
.Democracy in that County, has placed the name
ot Mr Buchanan at its mast head accompanied
by a powerful article in favor of his nomina
tion.
Lehigh county is also for Mr. Buchanan, as
will be seen by the following extractof Col. For
ney, Editor of the Pennsylvania, dated Allentown,
Aug. 23d: •
J. W. Forney, Pemuylvanian Office. —Our De
mocratic County Meeting was held in the coun
ty to-day, and was the largest ever held in this
county. A resolution was passed claiming for
Pennsylvania the next candidate for the Presi
dency, and pledging to that candidate our undi
vided support, Bhould he be our illustrious James
Buchanan, or any other of our distinguished cit
izens.

zes their mining operations. Anil the Lacka

that much benefit may bo expected to result to

We would add, that tho coal business in our
own vicinity is very active; and there never
was a time when coal lands commanded a high

New York and elsowhero, are freely investing
their money in those valuable securities.
Mr. Dallas’ Opinion of Judge Campbell,
The Hon. George M. Dallas is well known to
be one of the most distinguished lawyers in the
United States, He is a near neighbor of Judge
Campbell, has practiced in his Coart, and is
therefore well qualified to speak of the legal
abilities of that gentleman. We take tho sub
joined extroot from tho published report of Mr.
D's. remarks at the great Democratic meeting,
in Philadelphia, on Thursday evening last:
“I have said wo should be harmonious, and
why should we not bo ? Is tbero any mau on
another tioketthat shouldstart us from our par
ty loyalty ? Tho Harrisburgh Convention haß
nominated five citizens for Judges of the Supremo
Court. I will not stop to oanvass thoir merits—
but this I will say, and say it after deliberation,
that as a whole, tho Democratic State Judicial
Tioket contains AS MUCH LEARNING,
AS MUCH ABILITY, AS MUCH LEGAL
ERUDITION, AND AS MUCH CHARACTER
AS COULD BE FOUND IN ANY FIVE CITI
ZENS OF THE COMMONWEALTH.”

Stcamflliip City of PittsTjurgli ;
We findthefollowing description oflheabove
magnificent steamship in the Philadelphia hedg
er, -which will be read with interest by most of
our citizens: :
: The Steamship City of Pittsburgh.—Timneaset,
now fitting out at New York as the third for the
tine, of Philadelphia and Liverpool steamships,
will bo readyfor trial in about a montb,niidvrill
probably sail from this port on her first voyage
to Liverpool about the first of October, under
the command of Capt. Wm. C. Stotesbury, one
of our most experienced commanders. The
Pittsburgh is 260 feet long on deck, 40 feet
beam, and 82 feet depth of hold, and measures
2800 tons burthen. She was built by Messrs.
Perrine, Patterson & Stock, of Wiltiamsburgh,
and is considered by judges to be as fine a speci
men of marine architeohire’ as New York can
turn out. Her engines were built at the West
Point foundry, and are now nearly completed.—
The engines are on the trunk principle, of which
a specimen built by Messrs. J. T. Sutton & Co.,
was pot on board the Venezuelan steamship Li
bertador, fitted out at this port this winter.—
The cylinders of the Pittsburgh are 86 J inches,
stroke, working direct action. Her propeller! is
of iron; with three blades, and is 16feet 4
inches in diameter and its weight is nine tons.
The rigging is nearly complete.; She has three
masts, haring square sails, and the mizzen, fore
and aft sails. She has three decks, with a spa
cious dining saloon on the upper deck. Though
not quite so long as the City of Manchester, now
in port, she has more beam, giving her an in
creased tonnage and greater carrying qualities.
Her bow is likewise sharper, , with more of the
dipper about her whole appearance,; and it is
thought she will make better time than the Eng
lish propeller. ,
Hews from Hantoazaa.
By the arrival of the brig Henry Marshall,
Captain West, at Bristol, R. 1., we have received
nine days’ later news from Matanzas.
Captain West says that the rebels had broken
out afresh on the eastern part of the island; that
the government had been successful in putting
them down, and had mode a great many captures;
but on the western part of the island the rebels,
had been rather successful. The government is
trying its best to keep everything os quiet as
posable. They are expecting large forces from
the United States to invade the island.
j, Captain W. also says he heard from a private
and very reliable source, that great uneasiness
and dissatisfaction prevailed among the govern
ment troops. . '
Fine Cambric HsndkerbhUfr.
A most woudorfal piece of linen has been wo
ven for the World’B Exhibition in the North of
Ireland, near Worringstown, by a weaver named
George Haddock. It is a web of fine cambric
handkerchiefs. Small print can be read through
it, and yet the web is so dose and compact that
a single thread could not be distinguished with
out the aid of a microscope, or rather web glass;
the cambric, when held up to the tight, looks
tike a fine airy fabric. In the production of this
beautiful gossamer looking cambric, Mr, Had
dock almost realised with classic fiction ascribed
to the performance of Arachine, who, as mythol
ogists inform us, was converted into a spider on.

Suicide.— On Wednesday of last week, Mr.
Matthew Barr, of Ross township, in this county,
left home for the purpose of going to a neigh
bor’s house. Not returning within a reasonable
time, and the family finding that he had not been
at the place he said be was going, search was
instituted—the alarming apprehensi. a forcing
itself upon the minds of his friends that he had
been murdered. The following day the melan
choly fact was revealed that he had rode into
the river, above Wellsrille, deliberately jumped
off his horse into the water, and was drowned.
The body was recovered, and committed to its
last resting place at Wellsrille. Mr. Barr was
a higly respectable citizen, about 50 years of
age, and in good circumstances. It is supposed
that ho was laboring nnder temporary insanity:
! though the cause that produced this state of
mind is not even surmised. —Steubenville Messen

of character, and during her long residence in
Harrisburg, acquired the esteem and affection
of all who knew her, Until withinoi ycaror two
