Bigler ina .false posltior oft. the greet principle involved in the repeal of the uncon siitutfona|; JM>wouri compromise, has most op portunely been exposed by U}o governor him self, ift a speech made in Fulton county on the 7th insj. We find the following unan swerable refutation in a sketch of tlie speech taken by J. M, Cooper, Esq., editor of the Valley Spirit, who was present, and pub lished it in his last week's issue: “ Gov. Bigler said he whs a member of the' democratic party, epd that party had a right to demand whether he subscribed to the great democratic principle of self-government em bodied in the Nebraska bill. To the demand he was ready to respond. The republican principle of aelf-govarnmrtl was the leading feature, the very essence of the adjustment of 1850, commonly called the compromise mea sures. That adjustment Gov. Bigler en dorsed and defended before the people in the campaign of 1851, and the people rendered a yerdict in its favor. The same ptinciple pre cisely, was incorporated in the Nebraska bill. He approved that principle in 1851, and he approved it in 1854. He had defended the compromise measures, and he would defend the Nebraska bill, which was founded upon the the same great republican principle of self government.” This candid and manly declaration of Gov. Bigler shows that he is as firmly planted upon the democratic plalfonfi in 1854 as he was in in 1851, and brands (he contrary allegation of Mr. Chase as a malevolent and unfounded fabrication, disgraceful to its author and gross ly unjust to the Governor. If Mr. Chase, re gardless of consistency, of principle, and his political obligations, chooses to side with (he free-soil whigs on a vital democratic princi- trust he will be content to do so with such company as he finds there—with the Sumners, the Sewards, the Greeleys, the Gar risons, the Parkers, the Fred. Douglases, &c., —and not'seek (o dignify his position by falsely asserting that Gov., Bigler slaribs with him, or that he gives the least countenance to the treasonable tenets of the free-soilers. Hereafter, who will believe what is written or said by Mr. Speaker Chase? ' A candidate, in time lor come, who is falsified an'd slandered, instead of being RoohrbacVd will be Chased ! Here is the reckless charge made by the Spea ker; compare it with (he above unqualified avowal of the governor—with the whole alraightforward conduct of the Governor—all ye who, in future, wish to understand the force of the expression of a candidate being “ Chased!" “ Wo knhw that Gov. Bigler after hia nom ination by jpe convention, said to those per sons who Jrere present and determined that the convention should pass resolutions in fa vor of tho Nebraska bill 'gentlemen, if the convention pass such resolutions, it must nom inate another candidate, for I will not en dorse and run upon such a platform.' We know that he.said this, for he said it our pres ence, and with an emphasis that pul to flight the efforts of those to whom it was addressed.” Alas, that Roohrback should so soon have Kflpn aipftrpflrtpit in tiio ignnKlo L n/-t>iipat inn t Bigler and the Nebraska BUI. Whatever may be said by the Montrose Democrat to the contrary, we fee I warranted in asserting that Gov. Bigler is in favor of popular sovereignty, which is the great prin ciple of the Nebraska bill. The Democrat, tho’ perhaps inadvertantly, has not staled the whole truth. So long as the Clayton amend ment was retained, the governor, we'believe, was opposed to the passage of the bill, as well as to making it a party question in our slate politics. But its final passage, with that amendment stricken out, removed eyery objection,! and now, in common with nine tenths of I his democratic fellow-citizens, the governor favors the measure as one eminent ly just and democratic. Such, we believe, is the position of our able and popular chief magistrate ; a position honorable to himself and gratifying to his friends, and which he has the courage and ability to defend, on or off the slump, whenever or wherever the candidate of the mongrel party may choose to make it the subject of discussion. In order to leave no doubt on this impor tant subject, we may as well add further, that if the governor over made a remark similar to that attributed to him by Mr. Chase, it was in reference to doctrines contained in certain resolutions, which it was said were to be submitted to the convention. Mr. Chase knows perfectly well, as does every other observing man, or any one who has conver sed With Gov. Bigler on the that be long advocated the doctrine of noninterven tion by congress in the local affairs of terri tories. That he has deemed it wise to take tho abgry and dangerous controversy about slavery in the territories out of congress, and confide it to the people. He advocated these views in 1851, and we know that he enter tains) them at this lime, and openly avows his Belief that the application of the princi ple df self-government to these territories was proper. —Democratic Union. Popbby.— Tulet, one of the great fathers of this Roman Catholic Church, and whose writings that Church recognizes as Orthodox, aays:— “ Ab a King, on whom God has bestowed foil power over all material things, can take his subjects’ sons, and dispose of them as he pleases, either using them for his guards or his menials, and their daughters as servants and scullions; their fields, vines, and olive plantations, to give them to whomsoever he may please; so too, and still more forcibly, the man on trhdm God has lavished the spir itual power, may use men's sons and daugh ters, their fields and, fortunes, to obtain the object necessary to his end. When, there fore, the church wants to use some temporal measure for the fulfilment of her duty, she can til ways do so, in spite of the legitimate sorer eign. No one can object against this doctrine, because St. Paul ordered obedience to ths superior power. But here Paul speaks only of superior power, not of the secular one t and who-ean pretend .that God’s inter est in not superior to any worldly law ?’’ "• cannot control the'evil tongues of oth ers, liut a good Jtfe enables us to despise them.

May we hope that this little statement will set some of our patrons a*thinking 7 O’ Our friend J. B. C., at Elbland, will gee that our paper is not published until a day after the ait ting of the Free Convention at Harris, burg ; besides, wa published the call when it Brat issued in the Philadelphia Register. The ticket we give below ; it should have appeared before bat slip ped our mind. [□“The Free Democrats have nominated the fob lowing ticket: For Governor — David Potts, Jr, of Chester Co. For Judge of Supreme Court— Ws. M. Stephen. sos, of Mercer County, For Canal Commissioner — Geo. R. Riddle, of Allegheny County. Sharp Practice. Full fledged lawyers should never become editors. They get so addicted to “ sharp practice" that they learn to ignore- consistency and—something else; for instance: " He [Pollock] was so exceedingly anxious to let the people of Sullivan County know his opinion about the Nebraska bill, that he wrote a letter to a committee of free-soilera in that county, which is certainly a curiosity in Us way. Tho Whig papers have refused to publish it, and so have even the rabid abolition journals.”—Wayne Co. Herald. As far the first charge, it amounts to Jost this;— A committee of the anti-Nebraska men of Sullivan county, wrote to Judge Pollock and all the candi dates, both whig and democratic, to ascertain their views upon the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Judge Pollock, and his associates upon the ticket, returned answers to the inquiries of that committee, while Gov. Bigler and hia associates on the demo cratic ticket; treated tho civil, and proper inquiries ‘ of that committee, ’ with silent contempt; and we think for the very good reason that they had not the manhood to (ace the people of Pennsylvania at the ballot-box,'qprn hearted and open-handed. And we shall see this antnmn election whether tho freemen of this Commonwealth prefer men to administer the government who have no fixed opinions, to those who dare speak out upon questions seriously affect ing the interests of the country. As for the second charge, we blushed for the weakness of our friend’s natnre when we read it. We knew it to bo an eminently successful attempt to dodge the troth, or, in other words, the most bare faced falsehood that has dropped from that prolific Roohrbaokian mint—tho hanker press—"for the last three days. The truth is, Judge Pollock’s letter wu published by tho whig press with few, if any excep tions, throughout the State. We presume that It appeared in every whig exchange (bat visits the Herald offico* Out let ns compere this conscientious editor with himself as exhibited in another column ot the same paper—listen: " We have no patience with Ibis manner of eleva ting one candidate by maliciously crying down an other.

Now, extravagant as (he whole ache, seemed, Mr. Walker, by his address, akii management, and without any violaii any law or other impropriety, has pi* a train which promises the most magi results.

Now, the highest esi of ,lho cost of a road from the Mississii (he Rio Grande has never exceeded millions, Tor the building of which (his pany will receive land worth one hi millions, But this is not all. There was an old ter in Texas, creating the company call, El Paso and Vicksburg road, to hick been'previously granted sixteen sections mile; and this company having orga not being able to sell its stock, entered negotiations with Chat field, Walker's cessor in the grand Pacific, alias Moou road, to diepose of its charter.
