The Harrisburg Telegraph offers some sensible reflections upon the topio, which perhaps-some reader of the Jeffersonian may .find applicable to his own case, and thcrcforo worthy of consideration: ' "Many nu unwise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life for the pur pose of leaving enough for his children a -start in tho world," as it is called. Set ting's young man afloat with money left him by his relatives, is like tjing blad ders under the arms of oue who cannot swim, ten chances to one he will lose his bladders and go to tiie bottom. Wc need go no farther than Harrisburg for illustrations of this fact. But teach him Co swim, aud he will never uced the blad ders. Give your child a souud education and you have done enough lor him. See that his morals are pure, his mind culti vated, and his whole nature subservient to the laws which govern man, and you have given what will be of more value than ibewcalth of California. You have giv en him "a start' which no misfortune can deprive him of. The earlier you teach him to depend upon his own resources, the better. We know a young man, now an inmate of the poor hou-c, who, when he arrived at the' age of twenty-one, re ceived a "start iu the world,' to the a mount of five thousaud dollars in cash. Like too many who suldenly become possessed of an unusual amount of money ho indulged in a round of fast living that squandered his little fortuue, and in less ihrco years he was a pauper, with a con stitution completely shattered by exces sive indulgence in vice and immorality. And how nearly similar has been the fate of some young men in Harrisburg who got, ''a start in the world," by the sudden acquisition of considerable fortunes! Give young men "a start in the world," with fqrtuoes at their command and in nine cases out of ten they will take the down ward road that leads to pecuniary and moral bankruptcy and ruiu. On the oth er hand, give them a soifnd practical and moral education, and throw them on their own resources, early in life, and you will find them making "a start" in the right direction, and eventually becoming prosperous men aud good citizens. Burying the Dead in Hew Orleans. New Orleans is an easy place to die in, but barbcrous place to be buried iu. liow so? The following from the DJta, of August tells: St. Vincent db Paut, Cemetery. This cemetery which is situated on Lou isa street, in the Third District, has been the burying place of a large number of the victims of the yellow fever tbis'sca on. This is accounted for from the fact that tbc disease has been prevailing to a greater degree in the Third District than any other portion of the city. The cem etery is divided into two divi-ions, tho lower one of which i-s almo-t destitute of vaults or tomb?, and tho.-e inttred there in dry weather are placed about a foot under grouud, the dirt thrown on top not more than covering the coffin. Since the recent heavy rains it looks more like a swamp than a cemetery. The spade hardly breaks the sod before the water shows itself, aud negroes gouge out as much earth as they cau for the water. Several graves were open yesterday as sre passed through, looking like oblong mud puddles. A few moments afterward the remains of some poor individual were brought in, and left to the negroes to in ter Placing the rough coffin on the hand xsar, they carried it a short distance, and placed it by the side of the hole and then jnade preparations for placing it in its iast resting place. Tho head of the cof fin, is let down into the water, but, of course, it would not sink, and imtnediate iy rose to the surface. It wa3 thrust down-several times rather roughly to en-, deavor to make it adhere to the soft mud st the bottom, but it invariably rosea gain. At last it was shoved iu, and tho spade of one of the negres held it until the otb er threw in large quantities of hard mud, which served aa a weight to keep the head down. One of the negroes then, while the other kept his spade on tho first end, lowered the foot and sank it in the same manner, kicking in some, mud with bis feet, while his spade kept tho coffin down. The whole of this section of the cemetery is filled with new graves, and present' the appearauce of a newly plow ed field. The stench in some portions is hardly endurable, coming as it does, from ihtf'shallow graves of water.

ADDRESS OF JOHN V. FORNEY. In Vindication of the Principle of Popu lar Sovereignty, and in reply to the As saults of the Lecompton Organs. Tho American people have little or no sympathy with the personal griefs of pub lic men. When Martin Van Buren arrayed himself against tho Demooratio party, tho judgment that consigned him and his supporters to obscurity was that which grew out of the scarcely denied be lief that they were animated by purely selfish motives. There was no great principle iu their contest, as the subse quent and present position, of most of the leaders in that diversion clearly demon strates. But when an individual or a party, solemuly pledged to certain well defined dootrincp, committed to particu lar fundamental principles, formally and on tho sudden repudiates these doctrines and deserts these principles, then a case U presented which renders a rebuke of suoh an example an evidence of the most exalted patriotism. To illustrate: when James Buchanan was put forward at Cincinnati as the representative of the conservative sentiment of the Union, ho accepted the nomination in the spirit in which -it was tendered, and every succee ding act up to November and December of 1857, the more deeply committed him to the principles laid down in the platform of the party upon which he stood. But notwithstanding the binding force of his own volunteered declarations in this be half, notwithstanding his written, priuted, and spokeu pledges to adhere to and maintuin the leading principles of his par ty he soon resolved to turn his back upon these covenants and obligatious. Now, I claim that when he formed that resolve, he, on tho instant, released every citizen from obedience to the new and. heretical creed which he set up as tho model of Democratic ortbodoxj'. It was, therefore, not from thougbtlcs impulse, but from a deliberate and heartfelt conviction, that I conceived it to bo my duty to maintain the attitude iu which he and the Conven tion had placed me an attitude, which, with more than a million of Democrats North and South, I gladly assumed, un der tho earnest and cousientious belief from it must flow the most glorious re sults for our common country. There was no flagrant act of disorganization. When we saw that he was prepared to mould a policy at once ahhorent to our feelings aud repulsive to our convictions at once in violation of his own solemn pledges and ours, and in coutempt of the entire record of the Democratic party ,still with all the traditions of that party in our memory, and with all our personal attach ments to him, we preferred rather to oo cupy a position of honest and respectful difference, than to fly into a fretful pas sion, and indulge in a wild and unnatural opposition. Iu almost an' other civilized Government on the face of the earth, in telligent men in this age would have been tolerated hi so sincere and manly a differ ence with power; and it was impossible to conceive that in this country such a difference would be regarded as on act of treason to the Administration, and a dec laration of war upon party obligations, by. the very man who had himself assist ed to erect aud to tauctify the altar upon which wc coutinued to offer our devotions. It was only when tho reality was forced upon our minds, that such a disagreement with tho President and his Cabinet, was to be made the pretext for political os tracism, and the pretext for personal proscription of the most offensive charac ter, that the independent spirit which lives in the bosom of every free-born cit izen, took fire, aud those who had thus kindly and respectfully protested, seized the opportunity boldly, and everywhere, to denounce the arrogance and the inso lence which attempted to outrage them before their country. As oue of those who first sought to maintain those convic tions as to principlo and duty, and who had felt, in the worst forms, the malig nant intolerance referred to, I resolved to overlook the slimy sycophants and paid politicians, the peusioned and purohased adherents of the Administration, and their systematic attacks, and to vindicate myself as against their masters. An in vitation to speak to the friends of Hon. John B. Haskio, of New York, furnished mo a seasonable and acceptable opportu nity. Mr. ITa-kin, like myself, had been a democrat from his early years. He, too, had given to Mr. Buchanan the ardent devotioo of a generous nature. He bad taken his stand upon the right of the people to manage their own affairs in their own way, at Cincinnati and in New York, aud when Mr. Buchanan accepted tho trust, and re-asertod this right as the groat war cry of his campaign," Mr. Has kin was bound to it by new and more sol emn tics. But this adherence to the prinoiple has separated biui from tho ad ministration. All his services to the President, all his years of courage and consistency in the democratic ranks, went for nothing against the exciting spirit, which sought to disgrace him before tho country because he would not cousent to dishouor h'imself to his friends. And Mr. Haskin had appealed from power to the people from tho insolence of office to the ballot box from the servants to the sovereigns. There was another iea son why I could speak for myself at suoh a place, and amid such associations. Tarrytown was the scone whore tho trea son of Arnold lo the American army had been disclosed and denounced eeventy- eight years bofore, in September 1780. ; friendly relations with his Administration; Georgia, tho leading active men of the It was right that another treachery to the but I was soon convinced that unless I Democratic community, Messrs. Toombs great principla of the Revolution should debased my manhood, and recalled all I and Stephens, backed by the larger num be exposed aud held up to the public view had said in favor of the Cincinnati plat-;ber of the Democratic papers, have clear on tho same spot. It was right that uniform and the doctrine of popular sover-,ly and unequivocally signified their hos official men, private citizens, should meet eignty, I would be called upon to bear tility to the proscriptive policy of the Ad on the grouqd hallowed by tho noble ' the brunt of a violent collision.

With msane . negligence of history and of truth, the Union has sought to turn the fact that I SDoke at Tarrytown into a charge of trea- son upon Mr. Haskin and myself. Not ours tho treason not ours the shame. No, no I We have not sought to surren- der the sacred rights of the people. have not been tempted by tho glare of patronage, made mad by a longing for continued power, or rendered iudilfercut to duty and to patriotism by tho belief that our influence was boundless, and that our desertiou of faith and of friends would pass undetected and unrebuked Whatever personal disagreements may have taken place between the Chief Mag - istrate and mvself after his election and I am not here to lift the veil that hides them from the publio sight, and only re fer to them in so far as those who now pro fress to be his organs may compel me, and even then without tho violation of the sancities of private correspondence and private life one thing is known, not merely to the world, but to Mr. Buchan an himself; I intended, fully believing in his jyublic virtue and his devotin to the Democratic 2lariIi andr obovd all, to the great, jirincipbqf pojndar sovereignty ,tvhhh he was elected to maintain, to signalize myself by giving to his policy, and himself an.ardent, ejjectwe. and, J may be permit ted to say, a disinterested support, His Inaugural had fallen, upon the hon est heart of the people like a refreshing shower of wholesome truth. It had par alysed faction. It was bringing over to the Democratic party thousands who, in doubting him, had voted agaiust that par ty in 1856. It may well be conceived how anxiously I strove to maintain a state of things which would not only assist to push Pennsylvania forward in tho race of empire, but would advance all tho true men of the State who had been steady in the faith which gave us the signal victory of one year before. What motivo could I have had at that time to come into collisiou with any mem ber of Mr. Buehauau's Administration 1 As to the cry of having been a candidate for the Cabinet, that slauder is best an swered by the fact that my name was never presented with my consent to his consideration, and that the only part I took in the formation of that Cabinet was industriously to labor to elevate Howell Cobb to a fer.t in that Cabinet, because he honestly, as I supposed, sustained the prin ciple of popular sovereignly in the Presi dential election, and also to raise my voice against the infliction upon that Cabinet of Mr. Jones, of Berks county, whoso ca reer sinco then has so fully fulfilled all the apprehensions which I entertained of his subserviency, bis treachery, and his incapacity. Nor could I have felt any disappointment after my defeat for the Seuato. Indeed, Mr. Buchauan has now in his possession a letter from me, in which I thanked him, in grateful terms, for tho manner in which ho was pleased to prefer me among all tho distinguished gentlemen named for that lugh place. Amongst those now most anxious to consecrate fhe great betrayal of priuciplc by the present Administration on the Kansas issue is tho Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, Attorney Geueral of the United Slates, a position which he would not oc cupy to-day, and he knows it well, but for the very anti-Lecompton Democracy against whom he is now constantly,coarso ly, and caluinniously railing. Yes, had these gallant men been wil ling to yield to the demand of the extreme South, that Pennsylvania should allow that South to make a Cabinet minister for us in the peraon of Jones, of Berks coun ty, the loudest and most valiant opponent of tho Lecompton policy of tho present general Administration would be the il lustrious Attorney General himself. T "11 1 . .1 i win now come aown to the causes which led me to deliver the speech which has elicited such unlicensed abuse from the paid organs of tho Administration, to which organs I will, in the proper place, pay my respects. After Mr. Buchanan had determined to make his Kansas poli cy a test with the democratic party; after Judge Douglas had spoken his first cele brated speech in the Senate, and when the fact had become notorious that tho moving cause of tho surrender of tho prin ciple to which wo etood committed in 1856 was the threat of secession cornmc from certain politicians iu three or four' Southern States, (not the people of these States, but the politicians and managers,) the most unexampled proscription, was resorted to for the purpose of intimida ting those who agreed with. J.udgo Dong las, and Governor Wise,, and; Governor Walker, and to compel them to 'take sides with tho Administration in its unex pected metamorphosis. I returned, after my interview with Mr. Buchanan, still anxious to maintain tue gentlemen wi'.u whom .1 am proud to i .... - P. . f I C V f t n 1ft tlllJ n n r .. - li' friend who had been appointed to office and who still dared to sympathise with me, in my struggle for principle, was e jectcd from place. I was denounced, not Jouly aa false to my party, not only as laiso to the issues ot IboO, but 1 was de- false to the issues of 185G, but I was de- Weiclared "to be under the pay of the Black Republicans;" and, to cap the climax, the same Administration organs were kind e nough to allege that I had proved myself ungrateful to Jau;es Buchanan . by refu sing to follow him iu his betrayal of Dem ocratic principles. Appeals were made to postmasters throughout the country to 'attack me in my business, and to leave no i effort untried to cripple my enterprise. In a word, there was an ingenuity of nro- a & scription, a fertility of falsehood, a reck lessness of persecution, which suduced me ... A ! . - .1 j of Governor Walker, whether indeed "we more iaau once to inquire in the Jancuage were living in the last year of American Independence, or the first year of tho A merican monarchy?'- I saw the basest wretches, men who had never been recog nised by the Dcmocratio party in this State, and who in 1856 had scarcely an opiuion to avow, ready to go for Fremont or Fillmore I saw these men not only clothed with the power of tho Federal Administration, but authorized to speak in denunciation of men who had created it. I saw the money of the Federal Gov ernment expended to break down the reg ular organization of the democratic party whenever and where.ver that organization was not committed to the scandalous Kan sas policy of that Administration. I saw Senators turned into speculators in order to induce them to desert their written and spoken promises to the people; I saw Rep resentatives purchased to betray their contituents, as a Southern Slaveholder purchases his slaves; I saw newspapers openly and actively engaged with me on the side of conscience and the Constitution threatened or bought into silcnoe or ac quiescence; I witnessed an era of official despotism, and an organization of official insolence, such as, had it taken place un der an opposition Administration, and a gainst the democratic party, would have hurled that Opposition into perpetual ob scurity. It was in vain that patriotic democrats in all parts of the Union, North and South, East aud West, held up their hands in terror at this abandoned spec tacle. It was in vain that Wise of Vir ginia, protested, that Douglas protested, that Packer protested, that Bancroft pro tested, that Ryerson protested, that the nearest aud dearest friends of Mr. Bu chanan protested the crusade went on. I saw the Democratic party of Illinois, standing under tho flag which marshalled us iu tho great victory two years ago, traduced as traitors to that flag; I saw Stepheu A Douglas leading tho regular organization of the party, to a daily con flict with the avowed enemies of that par ty, and yet attacked front and rear by the Administration; I saw Hickman contend ing against the mercenary hosts of office in his district, Haskin struggling against the custom-house in his, Montgomery with tho regular nomination at his back opposed by tho officials in his, and John G. Davis upholding popular sovereignty in his, against a frantic hordo of mercen aries; and it seemed to mo that silence on my part would be grievous cowardice. Accordingly I spoke as I did. Cost your eyes over the wide expanse of the country, and observe tho change which has taken place in a short time! jjet us Dein at iuarvianu, anu there wo shall find that, at a dcmocratio Convcu lion lately held in the city of Baltimore, resolutions in favor of the Kansas policy . . .tilt ol the Administration were tahlea by a decided vote. From the same State was publi-hed the eloquent letter of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson (whoso powerful speech la Philadelphia, in 185b will long here membered) agaiust the odious test of tho Administration aud the insane proscrip tion of Judge Douglas. In Virginia, Governor Wise, tho repre sentative mau of tho State, whose brilli aut and unequalcd career against reli gious proscription will bo remembered as long as the namo of tho Old Diminiou it self, and who has always emerged tho victor from his contests with factions this remarkable jnan stands. in the fore front of tho scene, bravely denouncing the Kansas policy of tho Administration in all tho phases, and especially that portion of it which seeks to forco upon" Democra cy a dishonoring and repulsive tost. The old. orcon. of Thomas Ritchio; the Rich - mond Jhnqiurer, which ;uaiiy earns newison laurels by its intrepid resistanc. to scces sion in all its horrid yuises. stands for ward uow, as of old, in defence of Jeffer sonian prinoipleSj and responds to'the ap peals of the true Democracy of the North. Even in South Carolina: we find Mr. Speaker Orr lifting his voieo, if .not against, the Kansasblundcr of the Administration, atdea&t in favor of Judge Douglas. In wn. In Mississippi and Tenner-see the i - n ' manifestationa are numerous in the same direction not tho least of which is the speech of Hon. Heury S. Foote, well known as one of the most stalwart advo catcs of tho compromise measures of 1850 who, at Bollivar, Miss., took up the gaunt- let for Douglas before an intelligent au- let for Douglas before an uience, and advocated almost the entire theory of the anti-Leoompton Democracy of the North. But, perhaps, the two most striking instances are those of Ken tucky and Missouri. In the first, the Democratic press defiantly array them selves upon tho 6ide of Douglas in his struggle in Illinois; while in the second, both the Senators in Cengress,(one of whomit will be remembered, Mr. J. S. Green, led the debate in advocaoy of the Lecompton and the English bills, in the United States Senate, and with unsurpas sed ability and cower contented atrainst j r - - -fc-'""v j Judge Douglas,) and all the Representa- f tives in Congress, with all the national papers to support them, have not only proclaimed their earnest sympathy with the great leadertof Illinois, but have in terms denounced tho vituperative and scandalous courso of tbc Washington ZT nion. So much for the aspect of affairs in tho Southern States. Turn we now to the great Northwest. There the progress of the principle has been still more tri umphant. There its footsteps havo left behind tho lagging, limping, halting pol icy of Lecomtonism. In Minuesota, the publio sentiment is so strong in support of Judge Douglas, and also iu support of the principles he advocates, and thoc which are daily upheld in The Pres3, that no man can be elevated to public position who grovels upon the Lecompton plat form. In Miohigan the Democratic State Convention have been compelled to place in 'nomination Hon. Charles E. Stuart, that patriotic Senator in Congress, who, with Donglas and Broderick, resisted the tho machinations ot the Geueral power, and contented to tho last against ita Le compton calamity. Every Democratic candidate for Congress in Michigan takes the same ground. In Iowa and Wiscon sin, notwithstanding the patrouage that has been openly exerted against the Dem ocratic opinions and the Democratic or ganization, there would not be the ghost of a chance even to poll a reasonable dcmocratio vote, if the democracy did not proclaim their unalterable determination to stand or fall upon the principles laid down at Cincinnati, and the pledges of 1856. I leave glorious Illinois to speak for herself. Upon her the eyes of the whole Union are now fixed with intense in terest. Every man is reading and thiuk ing about the struggle now going on with in her borders. But look at Ohio and to j Indiana. What do wc seo there? Pre-1 cisely the same state of things, only more strongly developed than that I have at tempted to depict in the other States of the free Northwest. English and Cox, and Groesbeck and Peudleton, and al! who started out boldly against Lecomp ton and surrendered upon the English bill as the great measure of peace, find that their finality is but a poisoned chal ice returned to their own lips. They now find that their only safety consists in flinging tho draught from them, and in denouncing publicly and before the world tho organ of this very Administration to which they stand no less publicly com mitted, because of its war upon the very man whom they deserted in the hour of his utmost need. So odious have the finality and the organ become to these men to the people, and to tho Democratic pa pers, of Ohio, that if either of the Le compton Representatives running for rc elcotiou in Ohio should bo rescued from defeat, it will only ho because he has tran scended Ins Republican competitor in op posing the tico favorite institutions of the presentnational Administration the Eng lish bill and the Washington Union. Leaving the West, we turn our gaze upon "the Star of the East," and what . - . . ... . j . do we find in iUainct uemocrauc gam ofBomothreo thousand votes at the late election, in which uncommon fidelity and energy were displaced. But why this "ain? Because tho Lecompton policy of tho Administration was accepted? Oh nol Bui because it teas rejected, and be cause every democratic candidate for Con gress in that State placed himself enthusi astically upon, the eternal jjrinciplc of Papular Sovereignty, as advocated by Broderick, and Dougl, and Stuart, and the gallant men who stood firm, first and fast during tho late exciting struggle in Congress. The Washington Union boasts , of this gain, but craftly conceals the rea . Tho othor States of New England t r 1 1 .1 n .... n i T . Qtnlfta can nave no luiuro aa ueiuwiuuuiiM, unless they follow tho example of Maine, and-cast away the miserable hacks who have; conspired to keep tho party there in tho minority, in oruur iuuu competition mipht be diminished in the distribution of tho Federal offices. The democracy of N. York are looking forward to a victory ouly through the divisions of the Opposition;: but even in their Convention Lecompton was hardly recognized, and tho Administration - wa9 noticed in a sort of political parablo. As to Now Jersey, she is near enough to us to be a familiar story. Adrian will doubtless be returned to Congress-by the people of his district. John"lIuylcr will be left behind to repent at his leisure tho folly of his Lecompton vote. Worten dykc, no doubt, wisely anticipates tho quiet comfort of ths own fireside as far preferable to the marble halls at Wash ington. Iu tho Western part of tho State, the Democratic party has either boldly accepted the Douglas platform or coldly passed over tho Administration policy. So much for New Jersey. Aud what of Californiathe first born of popular sovereignty that State in which the battle of 1856, as well for tho nomination of the present Presidential in cumbent, as for his election, was fought with such indomitable coura and sagacity by Broderick and his troops of friends? What does California say? The answer is, That despite the patron age of the Administration, conferred usual upon tho ancient foes of the Presi dent, and thrown with terrific force a gainst his truest friends, Broderick of tho Senate, and his colleague in the House, Jo. MeKidden, will bo enthusiastioaaly sustained when they come up to be judg"- eu in tueir own persons, by the people. And here let me say of my friend Mc- ivictden, that he has stood firm in the midst of the most trying circumstances Those who should have stood forth in bis support tried to weaken aud to discour age him. Assailed from within and without, coaxed, trheatencd, denounced, and importuned, he maintained bis hon or unflinchingly to the end, and left his native State without a stain upon his name. Whatever betide him in after life, he can look back to his career in the last session of Congress without a blush.- Last, as to Pennsylvania. In this State the Adratnistration has succeeded in nominating ten of tho twelve Lecomp ton Representatives. Never had the peo ple less to do with the selection of candi dates. This reFult was accomplished at a time when tho peculiar virtues of the English bill had not made thecasel vesas apparent as they aro now. Messrs. Abl and Leidy have the popular permission to retire, and the mo3t of the remaining ten will no doubt enjoy the same felicit ous fate when the returns are rolled up from the people the 1 3th of October. The Washington Union claims a gain of some 3,000 votes in Maine, but refus es to give credit to the position of the Democracy of that State against the Le compton policy of the Administration. How many will the Democratic party lose in Pennsylvania, inasmuch as the ten gentlemen referred to have been forced upon the Administration platform, and are compelled to run, notwithstanding their tardy concession against the Eng lish bill, with the whole weight of the Administration upon their shoulders? How many votes does the Waahingtou Union think it will make for these Le comptouitea, and for the other Demo crats who are running in Pennsylvania, by ita continued attacks upon Stephen A Douglas and tho regular Democratio organization in Illinois? How much will it help the Administration by making tho English bill an issue, and by continuing to denounce all who will not consent to do the same? We have never yet had a trial of Lecomjrtonism in Petinsylvania. Our last election that which took nlaco in October of 1857 resulted in the tri umph of Wm. F. Packer, who stood broadly and squarely and publicly upon the principle of Popular Sovereignty, which principle ho afterward manfully reiterated in his inaugural address. But this is the first election in whicn the dis tinctive policy of the Administration has come in issue in ourStato. Not only the peculiar policy of the Administration in this respect will be involved in the result, but the new idea, lately enunciated, that tho President is the principlo and that tho Administration is the party; that all' creeds and all platforms have pas?cd a way, and that tbc cabinet and tho pow ers that he shall make our creeds and reconstruct our platforms. All this will be in issue. In the days of General Jack sou the great motto which immortalized7 his Administration, was, "The Union, it' must and shall be preserved." This motto has now beeu changed into "Tha President: ho must and shall bo sustain ed." Pennsylvania in October inst. will be called upon to decide whether she will prefer to sustain the doctrines which- havo made the country prosperous, or to. de sert these doctrines for the purpose, " of sustaining the President". .
