Do the citizens who buy it? There are a

CIPLE OF SELF-GOVERN
MENT'
Ka 01,
This candid and manly decalrntion of Gov.
Bigler shows that he is as firmly planted upon
the democratic platform in 1854 as he was in
in 1851, and brand's the contrary allegation
of Mr. Chase as a malevolent and unfounded
fabrication, disgraceful to its author and gross
ly unjust lothe Governor, llf Mr. Chase, re
gardless of consistency, of principle, and bis
political obligations, chooses lo side with the
free-soil whigs on a vital democratic princi
ple, we 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 to dignify his position by
falsely asserting that Gov. Bigler stands with
him, or that he givesthe least countenance to
ihe treasonable tents of the free-soilers. Here
after,’ who will believe what is written or said
by Mr. Speaker Chase? A candidate, in
time to come, who is falsified and slandered,
instead of being Rouhrbuch'd will be Chased !
Here is the reckless charge made by t|ie Spea
kfr ; compare it with the above unqualified
avowal of the governor—with the whole
straightforward conduct of the Governor—nil
ye who, in future, wish to understand the
force of ihe expression of a candidate being
Chased!”
“ We know that GoV. Bigler after his nom
ination by the convenMon, said lo those per
sons oho were prcfeeul and determined I hat
ihe convention should pass resolutions in fa.
vor of the Nebraska hill ‘gentleman, if the
convention pass such resolutions , it must nom
inate another candidate, for 1 will not en
dorse and run upon suck a platform.' We
know that he said this, for he said n in our
presence, and web mi emphasis that pul lo
fip>hi ihe eIF-ris of those lowborn it was ad
r* *
dpia'Scd.*
Alas, ihai Roohrback should so soon
have been superceded irl fits ignobfe occupa
tion '
Whn'ever mav be said by the Montrose
Democrat m the rnnirary, we fed warranted
in asserting that Gov. Bigler is in favor of
popular Sovereignly, wbi.:h is Ihe great prin
ciple of (he Nebraska bill. The Democrat,
ttin perhaps limdverelnilv, has not stated the
whole truth. So long as (he Clay ton amend
menl was retained, the governor, we believe,
was opposed lo 'he passage of ihe bill, as
welt as to making it a parly question in our
slate politics. Bui its final passage, with that
amendment stricken out, removed every
obieeiion, and now, in common with nine
tombs of bn democratic fellow.citizens, the
governor favors the measure ns one eminent
)v tost and democratic. Such, we b* beve, is
Ihe position of our able and popular chief
magistrate ; a position honorable to himself
and grnttfvmg lo ins friends, and which he
has the courage and ability to defend, on or
off the slump, whenever or wherever Ihe
candidate of the mongrel party may choose
to make U the subject of discussion.
in order lo leave no doubt on this impor
tant subject, w-e may as well add further,
iliol if the governor ever made a remark
similar lo (tint atinhuied lo him by Mr. Chase,
U was in referen.-e to doeirim-s contained in
cerium resolutions, which it was said were to
tie submitted to (ho convention. Mr. Chase
know, perfectly wt-11, as does every other
observing man, or any one who has conver
sed with Gov. Bigler on iho subject, that lie
long advocated Ihe doelnne of nnn-lnierven
tion by congress in the local affairs of terri
tones. That he has deemed it wise to take
the angry and dangerous controversy about
slavery in the territories out of eongress, and
confide nto ihe people. lie advocated these
views in 1351. and we know that he enter
tains ihem at this time, and openly avows
his belief that the application of the prinei
nle of sell-government to those territories
was proper —Democratic Union.

Bradford Reporter.
A few days ago, says the Niagara Mail,
an enormous serpent was discovered in ’h*'
garden of Moffat's Hotel, Niagara. This
most truculent looking reptile was nboul 12
feel long, and as thick almost as a min's
leg. Alter sundry stratagems he was taken
alive by Mr. Mofftl, and safely barrelled up.
It turned out to lie an Anaconda, which got
away from an exhibition that had been held
on the Common about a fortnight previous,
since which lime his smikeship had been en
joying himself at large, and feeding luxurious
ly on chickens, of which a considerable
number had disappeared very mysteriously
from the neighborhood.
Still Another.
THE TIPG A CPCNTJ AGITATOR.
Hon. David Wilmot.
This eloquem champion of Freedom is de-i
nounced by the Governor’s organ, the Pdtri
of, os a “ traitor,” and one to be deqpwcd
and proscribed by ihe“ faithful.” And why ?
Simply because Judge Wilmot, deceived
three years" ago by the hypocritical profess
ions of Governor Bigler, on the Slavery ques
tion, is determined, not to trust him again, «nd
to prevent the perpetration of a similar fraud
upon ihe anti-Slavery men of the North.—
Identified as Gov. Bigler is with the Nebras
ka swindle, Judge Wilmot as an honest man
who has a reputation to sustain, cannot sup
port him for Governor. The formidable vop
position of Judge Wilmot has alarmed Gov'.
Bigler and his friends, and failing in their el~
forts to silence him, they now resort to abuse
and denunciation of the man they have here
tofore eulogised and honored. But abuse of
David Wilmot by the pensioned libellers of
the government press, will not effect him in
juriously. The people of the North respeci
and confide in him, and the more he is perse
cuted for his devotion to the great cause o(
Freedom,-Ihe closer they will cling to him.
The Patriot makes one very important ad.
mission, in saving that Mr. Wilmot’s efforis
in behalf of Freedom, M are untiring if noi
effective," How “ effective,” the result of
the October election wpl 1 show. In the lan
gunge of the Montrose Democrat, Gov, Big
ler having taken a position in favor of the
Nebraska fraud, “ will receive the earnest
and scaihing rebuke” uf the people of the-
Northern counties. —Harrisburg Telegraph ,
VV’ilmot and Bigler.— The deierniina
lion mnnifcsled in cerluin qimrlcru lo repre.
sent Judge VVdmo! as a Iriend of Bigler,
induces us to reprint the following resolutions
adopted ala tneeling of democrats in Sullivan
roumy, in which Mr, VVilmot look part.—
The following are the resolutions :
Resolved, That »e have no reason lo be
lieve ihai Gov. Bigler agrees wilh us in any
point connected with the question of Slavery
1 now agitated ; wre know he recomidended the
passage of a law allowing slaveholders lo
carry their slaves through this Slate ; we
know he endorses the Fugitive Slave Law,
which tramples upon our personal rights ;
wr know his election would be regarded in
every part of the Union ns a iriumph of the
allies of slavery, and as those who are nol
■ for us, in this matter, are against us, we de
| rlare Gov. Bigler unworthy of our support.
Resolved, That inasmuch as Mr. Pollock
has declared explicitly that he is in favor ol
re.enacting the law which prohibited slavery
in ihe territories norib of thiny-six degree
and thirty minutes north latiiode ; and also
in favor of the manumission of any slaves
illegally held there, he occupies a poseion so
much more just and liberal than Gov. Bigler,
fhul (without endorsing the cautious addres,
of the Whig Central Committee) we esteem
it our duly to give Judge Pollock our full
and active support in the coming election.
Judge VVdmot made n lengihv address t
the meeting which passed these resolutions,
and ihev are not onlv the legitimate conse
quence of the positions advocated hv him,
but have his sanetion and approval.
Freemen, Look al it.
In mlmnm 10 ihn expnciHiicin of the Ad
mini-lrnlion Inndpps to control ihe People,
Ihe N. Y. Evening Post , ihe oldest and
nhle'-i democralio paper in existence, has the
follmvinq :
We know 'hat the opinion prevails at
Washinutnn that the people will take almost
any doctrine from the months of their polit
ical leaders and make it their own. “All
we have to do,” say the politicians who now
coni ml the two Houses, “ is to say ofi any
measure that it is an Administration measure,
and Ihe party will, sooner or later, with
more or less trouble, but finally and certain
ly, he brought over to its support.” That
there n corns truth in this rule of political
management we do not pretend to deny.
It has been frequency illustrated in the his.
lory of our country ; all parties like to con
form to Ihe opinions of their lenders. The
case of New. Hampshire shows ’hat the rule
is not of universal application. Party stth
servienev in not equal to all demands that
are made upon it ; there m-iy he measures
ton outrageous for its capacity of submission
and acquiescence.
The I’uoinmi'OßY Luv.—Onthedavof
our annual October clcctt m, the people will
be called upon in vote lor or against a pro
hibitory liquor law. Tins is independent of
all parties anil all parly arrangements. Ii
is io hen disiitu 1 expression of Ihe. dozens
of Pennsylvania irrespective of paru in favor
or against a law similar to the one now so
popnl ir in Maine and in Vermont, and in
some o her stales, and which (ins produce.!
such le le ficenl effects. We feel convinced
that the majority of ihe people will vole in
favor of shell a law, if it is n«u lorgoilen and
lost sighl of at the pulls. The friends ol
lempcranee in every eleelion ilMri'M, should
si e lo it that lliere are liekeis on Ihe irround
in favor of ihe measure, and iwo or three
active men io act as a committee of vigilance
10 secure, every vole possible for so heie li
n lit a project. If ihe people Knilelion I hi;
measure, vve have no doubt the Legislature
and tiovernnr will enaei it inloa law. There
never was n more favorable rime to pa'S
the measure, nor n more critical lime for Ihe
cause of reformation. If ihe measure fails
at this time il may be put back for voars.
