BREAKERS: A-HEAD.
, Before many years haye passed, the,vast ter
ritory in the. Southerly Qcenn, known as Aus
tralia, almost a continent in estent, will have
passed from under the rule of England. The
poet has said that . . -’ ■ ,
“ Coming events cast their shadows before
and truly the every-day events in Australia
pointtotmtone consummation—its separation
from the mother-counlry, and (as monarchical
institutions are ; dying out,’faded and effete)
its almost'certain 'establishment as a dlstjnct,
democratic, and independent Republic.
For some persons, history(tersely described
as Philosophy -.teaching by Experience) is of
no use as an instructor. The successive Gov
ernments of England;-'during the last thirty
years, have been worse than negligent of their
great Australian colony.- To neglect is one
thing, oftoh leading the neglected parties into
that striving self-exertion which achieves the
greatest and. most .permanent- success. To
misgovern, to insult, is another,thing, and the
Australians have been slighted and tyrannized
over. Gradually, they have felt their strength.-
They have obtained, by sheer pertinacity of
will, a far greater portion and power-of iself
government than the most fuvored of our ovr-n
immortal Thirteen States enjoyed when driven
Into the assertion of their rights, and the de
claratipn of thoir independence. They are
-sufficiently.wealthy to decline any pecuniary
favors from the mother-country. They havo
their own Legislature. They are able and
' anxibits to have their own soldiers also. As
it- isy they have volunteer corps, and almost
every man is trained to’ tho uSo of firearms.
Add to this ihaf they' have grievances, sub
stantial.and vexatious, and it will be seen that
all these .things In ebullition are not unliicely
to produce Revolt. If the Hindoos, cowed
and tamed down as they have .been, cou\d
unite'to throw off the-yoke of British domina
tjo’n) ' assuredly' the Australians (nine-tenths
'of, p.elf Ic
under the, command of, the-British cabinet
sixteen. thousand miles distant I. The' repent
rapid changes'of ministry fn Australia, each
change introducing more and more of - the
Democratic clement, indicate a great deal.
And if Australia should achieve her indepen
dence she may speedily -expand, into a great
nation. ,-i ,
.., The jmiDoral wealth of Australia is greatly
in favor of this. But there is much more.
The supply of. wool and tallow is sufficient to
make a great exporting trade of itself. Hemp
and flax are also most abundant, as well ns
gums,'grain, and the more valuable timber
used in the finest upholstery. The actual re
sources of Australia are not only undeveloped,
but are scarcely ascertained as yet. It may bo
emphatically called a great country. The'dis
covery of its and valuable mineral wealth
led to ,the Introduction, among & large increase
,of immigrants to that colony, of a great
many American citizens, thoroughly imbued
with Democratic principles. These persons
have succeeded, if not in actually inoculating
the Australians with desires for independence,
at least in strengthening 1 those which already
had nurtured. JFUo result has, been made!evi
dent in the. popular discontent which has lately
manifested itself in various aspects; and lone
of/England’s present problems, is, what shall
be done with Australia 7 * That such is the fact
was shown last year by the difficulty experi
enced in getting any. British statesman of
‘suitable standing and charactep to accept
a.reBponsibility as the jGfcivernsbip of Victo
ria, even though the salary is as much' as
£16,000, a year. Sir Hehry Barklay, ex-,
Governor of Jamaica, was bold enough to take
the office, some months ago, but he has not
shown himself equal to the occasjpn, the crisis,
and the time. j
No doubt there are influential men in Aus
tralia strongly disposed to substitute indepen
dence for the British connection—to reaortto a
republican instead of a monarchical form of
government. In the revolt of the United
States, mid the undoubted success which) fol
lowed our assertion of independence, Austra
lia has at once a pregnant example and a per.
petual lesson;' To preserve British domination
over a' great country, possessing limbless
wealth, and 16,000 miles distant from the beau
rocracy of England, is adifflcult, and, in) the
Song run, an Impossible task. But what shall
le said of the fatuity, which actually makes an*
occasion to annoy the already almost disaffect
ed. Australians 7
v Australia, we need scarcely say, rivals our
own California in the yield of,gold. Before
the discovery of this mineral wealth, there was
a well-grounded complaint in the colony of the
want of gold and silver coin as a circulating
medium. To remedy this, large quantities of
British coin were sent over, from time to time,
-When it was ascertained that Australia con
tained such an exhaustless quantity of gold, a
change of,circumstances took place, necessa
rily though slowly. Gold was sont over to
England in large quantities, in ingots, in nug
gets, in dust, in the crude ore; and, after this
aureate produce hod thus been imported, iu
abundance and with ceaseless regularity, the
Australians justly complained that, in order
to convert this wealth into a circulating medi
um,:the gold # had to undergo the round-about
apd clumsy process of being taken to London
and sent to tbo Bank of England, thence trans
ferred to the Mint to beponverted into coin of
the realm, and finally re-shipped, in its new
and current form, back to Australia.
Of courso, such an anomalous procedure as*
this could not long be continued after its ab
surdity was exposed. The, British Govern
ment was compelled to permit the estab
lishment of a Mint in Australia, at which
the native gold was coined into sovereigns of
the English standard, fineness, weight, and
value. On comparing the Australian with the
British sovereign,; a minute Inspection cannot
perceive,any;difference* though it is said that
tfie coined, gold of Australia has a trifle less
of alloy iri 'it than that of England. But a
short time ago eighty/thousand sovereigns
ooined at the Australian Mint for
warded to a commercial house in London.
Instead, of quietly receiving the Australian
'sovereigns and putting them into circujatibu in
.England; ? the.' sagacious consignees -raised ihe
;pMnt whether they were illegaltender iri Great
Britain and, Ireland. Though thby fire’ un

the principles of,the Constitution as understood by
W twhirigton, Jefferson, and Jackson, baldly main

Rikolvptl, That wo cordially approve of ; the 5
coarse of President BuOhnnaft and uovorcor Wal
ker in Kansas affairs. Their prompt and just
efforts to secure to the bona fide citizens of ,tnat
hitherto unfortunate Territory the right of self
government delegated to thorn by Congress' in the.
orga&io not, and to protect them in the full and
freo enjoyment and exercise of that right in decid
ing on a Constitution preparatory to admission aa a
State into the Union—though censured and de
nounced by Southern and Northern ultras—demand
and will receive the approbation of all fair-minded,
law-abiding, and Union-loving men in evory section
of our country. _
Resolved, That in Wm. P. Packer, of Lycom
ing, the Democracy have a gubernatorial candidate
of nigh character for integrity and intelligence, of
largo experience in Stato affairs, familiar with tho
workings of the. several departments of Govern
ment, and altogether deserving of their most cor
dial and enthusiastic support. Hjs election will,
to a groat extent, erase the stigma of Know-
Nothing Abolitionism from the escutohtion of Penn
sylvania; and prove a reliable guarantee against
dishonest and corrupt legislation, against unwar
rantable nolle prosequi* in prosecutions of bank
iniquities, and against other liko wrongs and out
rages upon tho rights and interests or the people,
wbioh have characterized the present weak State
administration.
Resolved, That in tho Hon. Kim. Strlokland,
the Democratic nominee tor the offioe ofoannl
commissioner, we recognise a roan possessing all
thoso,valuable attainments, high moral
and political Character, which richly and entirely
qualify him for the responsible office for which he
fids been nominated ; and whose life, both .public#
and private, stands before the people of the county
of Chester, and the whole State; aS a pledge that
hUfuturo actions will be as honest and worthy as
hispast have been upright and correct.
Resolved, That inWra. Strong, of Berks, and
James Thompson, of Erie, we have candidates for
the Supreme Bench, whose. talents, legal attain
ments, and acknowledged purity and integrity of
private and professional character, eminently fit
them for the highest judicial positions, and render
thorn in all respects worthy of tho confldonoo and
suffrages of their fellow-oitisens.
Resolved , That the sale of the main line having
been made, professedly at least, for the purpose of
reduoing the State debt, it is duo to the Common
wealth and her tax-paying citizens, that the pro
ceeds of the sale, as they shall bo realized, be
faithfully appropriated nud applied to that object.
Resolved , That the unconstitutional Proviso in
favor of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in
tho bill for tho salo of the main lino—wnloh pro
viso, if not declared void' by tho Supreme Court,
would have defrauded the State , os was shown by
the unanimous opinion of said court, 'out of four
millions one hundred thousand dollars —was a
: fair specimen of “Republican” legislation, discredi
table to tho members who passed it and the Ex
ecutive who approved it, ana stamp all as unfit for
positions of pUDlio trust and responsibility, and
wholly unworthy of popular confidence.
Resolved , That the “tonnage tax” proposed to
be released by the unconstitutional provision re
ferred to in the last preceding resolution, is a va
luable and Important source of revenue, already
nearly equal to tho interest on fivo millions of the
State debt, annually increasing; and that to ro
peal it or dispose of ft for less than it* valuo, would
be a gross wrong and outrage, by virtually trims
forcing from mammoth money-making corpora
tions which declare annual 8 per oont. dividends of
profits,- and placing upon the shoulders of the far
mers, meohanics, and general tax-payers of the
Commonwealth, an amount of debt and taxes which
that “ tonnago tax” was designed, to meet and
liquidate. Wo, therefore, ask aud recommend
that our County Nominating Convention plooo no
roan upon the ticket for Assembly who is notknown
to be opposed to such repeal and sale.
Tho Republican and Democrat has the follow
ing comments on this important meeting:
“Tho assemblage was characterized by tho great
est harmony, thoro being no difference of senti
montexoopton asinglequcstion,&nd that, whether
eontlemen to be nominated on our ticket for the
Legislature should bo forced to glvo a written
pledge to vote, if elected, against a repeal or sale
of tho tonnage tax now imposed by law on tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Thoro was on
tiro unanimity that tlio interest of tho State de
manded the tax' should be continued, but many
Democrats objected to tho notion of oxnoting
written pledges from men whose honor was a suffi
oiont guarantee that they wcutd fulfil every duty
imposed upon them by their party; and if any
man looked this honor, no written pledge would
bind him. This question was dismissed by Joseph
lUmpUUlt K* Monaghan, Dr, Worthington, and
P. Frazer Smith. The resolution was amended so
as to disponse with tho pledgo. ■ On every other re
solution reported by tho committee there was en
tire unanimity.
“Daring the absence of the committee, the
meeting was addressed by Mr. Daniel Nields, an
Old Line Whig , who handsomely portrayed the
false prophets Sustaining and advocating Colonel
Fremont last autumn, and'showed very conclu
sively that all their predictions in regard to Mr.
Buchanan making Kansas a slavo State were now
shown, by their own acknowledged organs, to be
mere electioneering schemes, and altogether dis
creditable to them as a party. Ho was followed
by tbo Hon. John Hickman, the member of Con
?;ress elect, from this district, in one of bis clear,
ogioal speeobes, that stripped tbo. opposition of
every disguise, and left them standing naked and
unsheltered from tho keen glance of an'observing
1 and discriminating people. My. Hickman's speed!
gave a high degree of satisfaction, indeed, to those
who heard it, and hia bandage tribute to,the able
Administration of,President Buchanan called out
' enthusiastic applause.

THE WAR IN INDIA.
The Indian Mutiny—lts Effects on Trad* and
Supply*
Although one of the most important considera
tions arising out of the Indian mutiny is its proba
ble bearing ou our finance and trade during tho
next twelve months, nothing could be more contra
dictory than the views expressed upon it. In
England, and especially on the London Stock Ex
change, the conriotion obviously is that the event
will increase the pressure for money and the drain
of bullion. In lndiu, on the contrary, there
are many intelligent merchants who expect
a totally opposite result. Tho contingencies
on ' cither side aro so raguo that it is a
point on which the most clear-headed people
may differ. A review of all the facts thus fur pre
sented seems, to favor tho hope that no
very adverse effect will be produced here. The
first great question is, will the Indian Government
look to be supplied with funds from England ? Of
course, if that should bo the case, all doubt upon
the matter will be over and inconvenience must be
expected. Bub hitherto there has been nothing in
the proceedings of the Governor-General at Cal
cutta or the Indian directors on this side to lead
to the idea that such a course is contemplated, and
even if it wore proposed by these authorities, the
home Government would still, most probably, be
indisposed to entertain it. A more fatal policy than
that of drawing funds from England to be spent
among the Indian population in such an emer
gency, could hardly be conceived. It would be.
a repetition of the old temptation which has 90
often stimulated colonial difficulties. Whatever
may be the expenditure and pressure caused by
Indian troubles, they should be borne by Indio
herself. At present thoro is no pretence that
money could not bo raised in ample quantities at
six or seven per cent., and oven if the terms were
much higher, there would be no reason to shrink
from them. If the cpst falls upon the Indiau peo
ple it will serve us a warning of the consequences of
anarchy, and with ovury rupoe that a native sub
scribes to a public loan, his interest in tbo mainte
nance of order is proportionably increased. How
ever well disposed the natives generally may be
towards us, tuo’so who are among the holders of the
50,000,000 of Government debt aro doubtless the
most so. Nor would any pressure that might be
oxcroisod prove a burden of roal consequence. The
amount of wealth in India at this moment is such
as has never been paralleled. For some time we
have been extending bullion thero at the rate of
.£7,000,000 ot £B,QOu.OOO per annum, and tho in
habitants at large arc in a position to moot extra
ordinary requisitions. Even tho plunder of the
Government treasuries is no deprivation to the
country. It still remains there, and must bo re
covered In one way or another. It is also to be
borne in mind that if the outbreak has involved
terrible loss it also promises to lead to an extraor
dinary saving. The £300,000 per annum which the'
expotontates of Oude and Delhi seem to have
forfeited would bo moro than sufficient to pro
vide tho interest of a loan of £5,000,000; and
there likewise appears to be an-impression that
thoy have a brother in treachery—the Nawab
of MooMhadabad, who is also an annuitant to
the extent of £120,000. On the whole, there
fore, it may bo hoped -we shall not hear a word
of any attempt to : .transfer to this side the pe
cuniary embarrassments of the struggle. There
is, however, another and ne less important branch
of tho subject/ What is-to be the effeot on our
trade ?, The lost accounts confirm what must have
been fußy expected by every one—the almost en
tire cessation of the sale of our manufactured goods
at.Galcntta. . The .dealers in the interior are, of
course, indisposed to buy; and even If this were,
hot the'case, the importers, who muM eiVe credit,
would bounwilling to sell. Of onr total exports to
Indio, which amount to nearly £12,000,090, proba
bly £7,000.000 at tho least go to Calcutta for th*
Supply of Bengal and the northwestern provinces.
If tnis.business is stopped, or even reduced only one
h*lf, the consequences must apparently he serious,

But there circumstances which may more tb<»u
counteract- them. ;;The adverse eieFanga with
India, which .deprives us o? so many millions of

from that country being larger .than the amount of
goods it faked Id return. If imports and exports
wore alike stopped, we should therefore have an end
to the drain, or at least it would be diverted
•to othpr countries, whose consumption of our manu
factures would be propoytionably stimulated: Tho
point then sihijUy is,' will the'shipments of produce
from India saner a reduction equal to that in her
imports be little doubt, and

’ti°n ;* coariytidfc catertiifced* tfcit the
falling Off woald-%4 Inch as to render ft impossible
that the country-could continue to draw silver
from thfe aide in th© heavy quantities lately wit

. the 'cessation of labor, and the'stoppage of
credit lead to this result, but also the, suspen
sion or-transit owing to the' plunder river
roads. On the 9th of June every native boat
on tne Ganges, for a distance of twelvemiles below
Mirxapore, was sacked, and the banks were strewed
with cotton, rice, Jae dye, Ao.i whichwas being

their conclusion. It is,true the last mnjt brought
accounts of the exchange- at Calcutta being more
unfavorablethan ever, bat the movement was
doubtless in a great,degree caused by the hurry
of the' natives to realise all the produce in their
possession. This led to the shipments on Friday

preparations appear to bo in progress on : a similar
scale for the next steamer. . The general aspect of
the question, however, remains 'unaltered; in

prospect forjthe future. At the same time they have
further discouraged all tendency’towards a revival
of speculation, and whatever may be the actual

uncertainties of the moment, must be regarded
with satisfaction. '
