' At 12 o’clock Sunday;lho apprehensions were'quieted by the arrival of a stage at Newark from New York, containing -Messrs Van Winkle and Comprop; in a sound-condi tion, arid highly pleased with their voyage, of ahtch they gave the following account: - Ai "o4 o’clock they left terra firma, and •ailed "IT between Belleville and Snake Hill, which they de«cr.be ns presenting a beautiful appearance. Snake Hill appeared to be like a-small mole, and the Hackensack‘river as a snake. The view ns presented at this time, and indeed throughout the whole trip, was most magnificent, ns the meadows, rivers, fin.v.» and surrounding cities were spread out like a panorama.. They then passed over Hoboken, New York and High Bridge, and thence over the East River, Fashion race emirse, Long Island, and thence- across the Souhd,-after passing which a current of air sent them back, and another current then again sent them over it.. ' In passing over the Sound the last lime, M Moral tyld them that he must either gel into another current nf.air, drop in Ihe Sound, or go to sea. In order to get higher, almost everything was thrown over, even the bag of provisions, the.water pail and dipper, and the speaking trumpet, and at one lime the Profes sor haired ibn contents of their pockets thrown over. They finally succeeded in .shifting their course going to ihe.notlh over the land, and then proceeded to make prepa rations to. dcsrcml. On nearing the ground the grapneUs were thrown out and first caught in the rnnf nf a house, pail of which it lore off, terrify ing the inmates, who thought the comet had si ruck. The balloon ihon drifted on about a mile further anil finally was stopped between two trees, at a height of 80 feet from the ground, which adventurers reached by meaos r ol a rope, and after securing the balloon, they pro* creeled to seek some place of shelter for the nigh', amid a drenching shower. In the morning they went !o the house of a Mr. Kelsey, who gave them breakfast, and pmcuiing .a yoke of oxen, they went in search of (heir balloon, which was found last in ihe irecs, as left, and to obtain which they were lo cut the trees down. They were Taken to Clinton, about 4 miles distant, and thence bv *ihe cars of the New Haven Roll road to Newark. The view is described by the voyagers as the most splendid ihey witnessed. The view is described by Ihe voyagers as ihe mosl splendid they ever witnessed. The cities of New Yorlc, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and the surrounding connlry, with its fields of green, were plainly visible ns on a map, and appa rently separated from each other hy small creeks of wn'er. Trains were seen and heard on the New Jersey Railroad, and the voices of men shouting “see the balloon, there it goes.’ 1 “The horses ' practicing on the Fn«hion Course appeared to be very small, and yet the sounds of their hoofs could be beard. In passing over Ihe Sound they saw two sleambnats, the paddling of the wheels and the puffing of the engines of which they could henr. It is a little curious that while •hey could' hear everything' on the earth, nothing could be heard from them, though they used n powerful speaking trumpet. Mon«.

The Wkllsboro Foundry.— This establishment is again in full blast, and seems to infuse new life into a part of the town which for some months has lacked just that important motor.

Strength* The strength of an army docs not lie in numbers. It lies in discipline, first, in patriotic feeling and a righteous cause; The strength of a man not in bulk, but in knowing always just in what Way to expend that strength that there may be no waste of power, * The Republican' party has more of llf6 elements of strength and permanency thankny parly that has ever existed in America. It did not spring into ex. islencc upon (be question whether the public treas ury shall fatten on ad valorem, or specific duties, or whether €>overnment shall resolve itself into a s note.sJiaving and rag-moneyimanufacturing con cern. Republicanism, as we understand it, proposes the moral and political redemption of the American -people, by means of free' schools, free presses, free pulpits and free ballot-boxes. The intelligent Amer ican mind instinctively hates oppression. It is be ginning to rejCognjze the great law that does not permit even the humblest roan to suffer wrong with out affecting the welfare ot ibo highest. Thorough ly awako to Ibis truth, not all the thunder of sub sidized presses and corrupt Judiciaries can frighten it into submission to the decrees of slave-breeding Courts and legislatures. It aeems now thoroughly awakenened to the danger of inaction. The man who characterizes the jus»t indignation of the Northern masses against the unparalleled wickedness of the falsely.called Democracy as the ally of the South and the champion of Slavery 'ex tension, as fanaticism” and. a delusion,” offers a premeditated insult to the intelligence of the mass es. Such a man judges the great heart of the peo ple by the hollowness of his own. Such a man for gets, people aro all unschooled in, the art of dissembling at which hc ; has. become expert horn practice. Such a man knows nothing of the integ. rily of the people from whose hard earnings he wrings the wealth which gives him a position in so xiety to which he is in nowise entitled. To him, every honest beating heart is a sealed book: he can not comprehend how any soul Is moved by principle —nor how any roan can consent to become physic ally wretched for the sake of the truth. He has nev er performed a disinterested action and cannot be lieve that any other man is capable of performing one. i Deep down in Humanity's great heart of hearts beyond the ken of knkves and time-servers, springs, the tountaio of Republican principles. In Heaven's great regard for man, it implanted the antt-ktavery germ in every sentient soul. It is that which prompts tire act of self-defence. It is that which prompts the espousal of the cause of Ihe weak against the mighty. Were it the only virtue of the human sopl, man would still be godlike, and entitled to divine charity. It* every exercise adds a cubit to the moral stature of man. And" this alone ren ders Republican principles imperishable; ■ ’Here, then lies the strength iff the Republican party ; and he who has faith in God and Humanity 7IO& A-.

And. here In Old Tioga, the Banner County, we are not to rest satisfied with (be hundred’majority which we g4ve ( to Frc. raont. We must do still belter than that for David Wilmot. We, cannot. do oqr duly and speak with fewer ihzx± thirty-five hundred tongues against the longer ffoslitution of this Commonwealth to the hose uses-of the Slave.brceding Democracy. From every election district in tlic county we have the cheering assurance from the people who vote—“ wo “ can hold onr own and do a little better,” There is no doubt of this—we can see lljat the hearts of tl>9 people are thoroughly leavened with the leaven of philanthropic patriotism. They arc in earnest. But how are we to increase our majority in Tio ga and throughout the whole Northern tier ? We can answer that, every man of us. We must meet together, not on the street corners, bat in our church es and school-houses, as often as may be possible, and there take measures to place the/acts before (he people of every neighborhood. Our duty consists chiefly in diffusing historical and statistical inform* alien. With the facts before them, the masses nev. er err—they are as true to duty as the needle to the pole—and to them Freedom looks, and upon them Humanity rests for the redemption of all that Tyr anny has wrested away. But Freedom has another source of strength In the hearts and hands of the Young Men of tiie North. When the first alarm sounded they were first to cut loose from effete political organizations and to hurl the gauntlet of defiance in thcV&ce of cotton whiggery and hunker democracy. To them more than to all else, is Freedom indebted for active field-service during the last four years. They are entering political life upon principlc r and while they remain true to duty. Right can never suffer defeat. They have the history of the past for a warning to such as dream of crushing out wrong by compro mising with it. Friends, as we pledged ourselves and each other to eternal and uncompromising hos tility to Slavery everywhere it attempts to plant Its hateful feet, ep letjjs.be jnslant in duty, vigilant and active, trusting in the righteousness or our'effuse* and keeping our accountability to the Giver of ev ery good thing for the talents lie has entrusted to our keeping, constantly in mind. jEdi^tr. The Democratic Slate Convention which assem bled at Harrisburg on the 9lb ti.st., passed the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That the principle contained in the re cent decision of the Supreme Court of the United Stales, in the case of Dred Scott vs. John F. A. Sandford, in regard to the political rights of the Ne gro race, meets the hearty acquiescence ol the judg ment of the Democratic citizens of Pennsylvania, and is as much commended to the whole people of the United Stales by the force of truth and patriot ism, as it is equally binding on all by the highest sanctions of taw. One of the grounds taken by Jndgc Taney for disfranchising the negro, whether free or slave, was that the negro’s ancestors were brought from.a tor. cign land, and therefore that their posterity could not become citizens. This, applies to the Irish and German immigrants as well. Sp, wlien our Irish voters march up and vote for Packer, let them do it with n full- knowledge that their candidate stands upon a platform one plank of which may fall upon and crush them when they shall presume to become refractory. The Dred Scott case decision strips the negro of every right that is worth having. It places him on the brute level and then mocks his degradation. But it is now good democratic doctrine. An ortho dox democrat, just now, is one who can swallow the -following compounds without, winking: The Fugitive Law and Millard Fillmore. N II- The'Nebraska'bill and Arnold Douglas. •’ 111. The destruction of the freedom of the bal lot-box by Missouri ruffians, the murder of Free Stale men forpiaring to protest against injustice ; tlie ravishing of helpless women ; the destruction of the property of .peacable settlers for opinion’s sake, and the removal by Uio Administration of every Governor of Kansas who presumed to act impartial, ly, together with the Administration which conniv ed at and sustained all these outrages and insults, IV, The Dred Scott case Decision and Mormon ism—the latter being a legitimate democratic insti lotion under the operation of Popular Sovereignty.

Save! oh, save !"—Greensburg ( Ind.) Republican, The Unitarians.— The telegraphic re port that the Unitarian General Assembly had been rent in two by the Slavery question, at... ts late meeting at Alton, turns out to be un-£ founded. Mr. Conway, formerly of Wash ington City but now of Cincinnati, offered some strong Anti-Slavery resolutions, which were objected to, not because they condemned Slavery, bur because the government of the Unitarian church being strictly congregation al, its power to pass any resolutions on the subject was doubted. The whole matter was referred to a committee, and the chairman, Rev. Mr. Haywood, of Louisville, reported a resolution declaring that the members of the Conference regarded Slavery as an evil and a wrong, but they had no power to prescribe any course of action on the subject to the churches. This was adopted with but one dissenting voice—Rev. Mr. Elliott, of St. Louis, who proclaimed himselt on Anti-Sla very man, but opposed to passing any reso lutions. He withdrew from the Convention in consequence of the passage of the resolu tion. His colleague,' Mr. Staples, voted for , the resolution and refused to withdraw. It appears, from the analysis ofthe opin ions of the nine Judges of tho Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, that only the following points commanded a majority of voices, and can be considered, under any view, as having been ruled bribe case: 1. That Scott was a slave notwithstand ing his residence in Illinois nnd Minnesota. Seven Judges to two. , 2. That the Missouri prohibition of 1820 was unconstitutional and void. Five Judges against two; one silent, and one holding it void but ,not unconstitutional. 3. That, under the Constitution of the United States,, slaves are as much property as horses. Five Judges, all slaveholders, against two non-slaveholders, the other non slaveholders being silent. The question whether any power of legis lation over the Territories is given to Con gress, by the - power to make needful rules and regulations, is left hanging as if in mid air, font Judges denying any, such power, three maintaining it.
