anondangcrcd Uuionfaithout announcing
the means by which it ban be saved.
Lut us not bo deouivedl There arc
but two doetrines between whioh wo can
choose when we come to deposit our bol
lgt. One is that the Constitution favor
Slavery as fully as Freedom; that neith
er ha advantage over the other; that
they .01 ut travel together and exist to
gether, under equal protection uu'til the
Tenitory shall be clothed with Stato tov
creignty, and that both alike are nation
al. Tne other id, that the Constitution
treat- Slavery as -a local municipal iusli
tution; docs uot give to it a single attri
buto of nationality; that it has uot an e
qunl status with Freedom; and that it
extension is to bo discouraged. How
snail we act between these opposing
views? I answer the inquiry! Our la
boring clasea deserye all the encourrge
meut and protection we can givo theui;
Southern statesmen regard them as white
slave": let us uot surrender them to such
mercies ns the owners of chattel labor
would extend to them. Ourfirtnen aud
maufocturcra have long been cut off from
" all the bounties of legislation, by the
force of Southern prejudice; we should
onliht on their side. Our country ha
suffered much in tho estimation of man
kind, from our manifested attachment to
n syxtcra, notoriously in counteraction to
the principles upon which our borcrn
inent was founded; considerations of uior-
alitv, expediensy, and consistency should
incline us to do all that we lawfully maj
do. to save cur-elvea from further impu
tations. Slavery within the States staude
behind impregnable defen-os, but it holds
no charter to travel without re.starint. It
has long labored for, but has not yet reach
ed, 0 position of absolutism. It cramps for
empire, as it is the only means by which
tyranny can ever save itself. Our danger
is imminent, but we can yet overcome it,
if we allow reason, rather than prejudice,
to hape our efforts. Democracy, as now
interpreted by those loudest in tho pro
fession of it and almost monopolizing it
name, no longer means the will of the ma
jority; it contemns the masca; holds no
association with labor; aud utters no word
of eucouragemeut to the poor. Its pro
fession are iirpojturcs, and must soon
fail to deceive. It has become worse
than the ally of Slavery it is its pliant
and prostituted, tool. Wisdom and pro
priety must alike repudiate it, unless
speedily regenerated
Our true policy is that of resistance to
the extravagant and unaon.-titulioual .de
mands of the South. We can only make
it effectual in one way by the support
of Mr. Lincoln. Ho is honest and capa
ble and attached to the principles of the
Constitution; and his election will assign
limits to sectional oligarchy, and make
labor honorable and remunerative.
The question, in its true aspect,' is not
8 to which candidate should be elected
by the people; it is' this shall Mr." Lin
coln be elected! The I '20 electoral votes
of the South will be divided miinly, if
not exclu-ively, ret ween Mr. Bell end
Mr. Breckinridge, and their support will
be almost, if uot entirely, coufiuud to that
section. Such effective force an Mr.
Douglas may posness, is in the North; but
his most sanguine friends admit not onl?
that his election is impossible, but that he
caunot carry over two or three States.
The bo.Jy of the Northern vote will be
given to Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Douglas's
importers can do nothing for him; the
only .significant result they can possibly
produce will be to withdraw enough
strength from Mr. Lincoln to throw the
t-lectioa into the House. TJiis done, aud
Luie would certainly bo chosen by th
Senate the condition of parties in the
House beinjf such ns to prevent a majori
ty of the States agreeing to- either of the
candidates. Keating on these admission,
for they are accepted universally, we dis
cover that every vote given to Mr. Doug
las must tend to the elevation of Lane,
who, po-scsfriog neither education, cxpe-j
rienceor executive ability, has been se
lected to enable the South to make the
iao-t out of an aacident in case it shall
occur. To out-Lane Lane in apo-tacy to
the tfortb, and in crouching, fawning t-ub
servieooy to tho Southj need not bo at
tempted by the most aEibitiou3 in that
line not even by a Federal office-holder.
Even if I could believe that the leopard
could change his spots, aud Mr. Douglas
do the North justice, I would not sustain
him under the circumstances which sur
round us, and amid the perils which now
environ us.
I have not attempted a Fpeeoh. My
purpose has been to talk plainly. I may
have ben unfortunate in succeeding too
well in this respect. Feeling, o- I do,
and knowing the vast importance of the
canvass upon which we are just entering
1 could not be Jess distinct iu my expres
sion-5. immense, inappreciable conse
quenee depend upon the decision wc are
about to make. We should tremble when
we fear that those most interested in the
present and the future, the frugal artisan
and laborer, may fail to comprehend
them. But let us hope, citizens, that we
are so far right as to be able to expect
tho favor of Almighty God throughout
our trials, and that He will continue to
blepi the Republic, until it shall become
4fproper, example to the nations of the
earth, and a blessing to universal maul
Hard Times at the West.
Though the west is gradually recover

seventy m that region, in consequence of
tne enormous land speculations carried

fion, stagnation of business and suffering
A gentleman who has just returned from

He continued a consistent Democrat as

The officers of the Smithsonian Insti
tute ore investigating the subject of tor
natoes, with especial r gard to those of
recent occurrence.
Tornadoes appear to have been of un
usual frequency and violence ; to what
this fact is attributable, is a question for
scientific men. A tornado at Plymouth
and Livonia, in Wayne County, Michi
gan, on the 1 8th alt., did great damage
to the growing crop3, buildings, fences,
forests, orchards, &e. At Fayetteville,
Tennessee, ou the llith, three lives were
lost and much property destroyed. At
Uxbride, Mass.; North Ilaynham, Mas
sachusetts; and a portion of Onondaga
valley, in New York, considerable dam
age was done to property on the 31st ult
but no lives lost. On the 22d a tornado
made aad havoc through portions of Vir
ginia aud North Carolina.
Accounts from Iowa, Hbode Island,
Kansas and Missouri, Ohio, Braxton Co.
Virginia, Mississippi, Milwaukee, Kala
mazoo (Mich ) and New Jersey, all give
details of the devastations which the storm
king has made, in which more or less
lives have been lost.

is the opinion of some that there is an or

are distributed through New Jersey
Pennsylvania, and Ohio and other States,
stealing horses and cattle in one locality
and exchanging them in another. Their

j&STbe Bell and Evorett Convention.
held in Philadelphia, on Wednesday last,
rejected a resolution, by a large majority,
to form an electoral ticket. So wo are to
have no electoral ticket for these gentle

appear that Mr. Bell will not permit his
adherents to interfere with the prospects
of the cloction of Lincoln and Hamlin.

It ban thus far only exasperated th
'Squatters," who, it) their turn, are plot

Dauphin County Democratic Convention
Harrisburg, July 31. Tho Demo
cratie County Convention met to day an
voted down a resolution favoring a fusion

CgrParson Brownlow is decidedly op
posed to any fusion with either Demo
cratic faction. He says:
In this split, we aro pleased to sec the
factions so equally divided, and wo hope
in their wrestle, they will make a dogfall
of it! Let all honest, patriotic Union
loving men eland aloof from both, praying
m their family devotion, that God in mer

both factions!
Artesian Oil Spring.
Wo learn from the Crawford Democrat
that Messrs. Williams & Co., in boring
for oil near Titusvillc, in that county,
struck an oil vein at .the depth of 144 feet
on the 30tn ult., since which it has run
spontaneously, without pump or any oth
er aid than the escaping gas, from twelve
to fourteeu barrels every twenty-four
hours. The oil comes from the well pure
and unmixed with any other substance,
and iarun directly into tho barrels, fit

The Postmaster General has issued an
important dircular to Postmasters, requi

among other things, that 10 all ca
ses, postao stamps, and not money, be
'at
used in the prepayment ot postage, and
prohibiting the use of the dating Htamp in
cancelling the postapc stamps effectually,
or to post mark letters plainly, will be
regarded a4 a catpo for serious ccneuro,
if not of removal, and all Postmasters are
required to report instance of such ne

The Syrian Massacre.
Every arrival, from Europe hrings us
yet more horrid details of the atrooities
committed by the Drustfs upon tho unof-
endmg Christians; whoso safety has sol ¬
emnly been guarranteed by tho Ottoman
Porte. ' The number of victims is ascer
tained to be much greater than at first
supposed, and entire towns forinstance,
that of Deir-el-ivamir, a lew months ago
numbering, tome four thousand souls
iterally cease to exist. It is reported
that through tho whole of tho populous
district, wbero the Christians have been
peaoeful and industrious, the afr is taint
d with decaying corpses.
The worst, of all is that, instead of effi
ciont check from the Turk, they have,
with their bigoted cruelty, forborne inter
ference, and in many iutaoccs joined in
tho slaughter. It is no answer to the cry
of vengeance which must ri-o through
Christendom that the Turkish government
is to effete and feeble to protect its sub
jects. No such government can, with
due regard to the, interests or humanity,
bo allowed to exist. If the Sultan is not

I thick we have the gloomiest prospects

March, consequently not a particle of corn
raised, and the cottou suffering badly;

follows: Ueenan is to have 81,000
week for twelve weeks, at tho end of which
time he is to be presented with a diamond
pin worth SI, 000. Maedonald has refused
to engage for a longer time than six weeks,
for which ho is to havo S2.500. Mr. E
E. Price of Boston, who is, probably, the
most accomplished professor of sparring
m America, is of nearly tho weight and

ltic hail stones were not 01 a unitorm

the size of 3 pea to that of your double

training are brought
up to

point
of physical perfection; yet they are, as s

less indulgence, and the system is worn
out by frequent transitions from ono ex
treme to tho other.
