Burning of the Austria! 530 LIVES LOST! ONLY 67 PERSONS SAVED. • Twelve of'the rescued passengers,- after being picked up by a French vessel, were transferred to the Bark Loiusand arrived at on the 29t.h, from which place they myke known by telegraph the following sad ne\s: The Austria sailed from Hamburg on the 2 1, and from Southampton on the 4ih, with annul 500 passengers. Including officers mid crew there were about 600 persons bn board’. She had bad weather until the 12th when it became more favorable, and all were wt)»eoling to reach New York by the X8 1 h. A"2 p. m., of the 13lh, a fire broke out in the forward steerage, occasioned by the up setting of some burning tar used in fumiga ting the .ship. A panic arose instantly, and scarcely any attempt was made to extinguish the flames. She was running head to wind, and the fire ran aft rapidly, bursting out amidships soon after, when the magazine ex ploded, whereby it is supposed the engineers were suffocated. The helmsman for a few minutes pul the ship aback, but was probably soon driven-from the wheel by heal and smoke, when the ship became unmanageable. Two boats were let down and immediately su limped. The mass of the passengers crowded on ihe poop, and the vessel heading up to the wind the flames and smoke envel. oped them on every side. Here the scene was terrible; all hope vanished, husbands mid wives, parents abd children, leaped into Ihe sen locked in each other’s arms, many of. ihe women with their clothes on fire, to escape a more frightful death. Two men sueiyeded in reaching a swamped boat, but were soon left far behind the steamer. In half an hour the only persons remaining alive on Ibe Austria were someihirly or forty wbu had crowded out upon the bowsprit.— Fortunately the French Bark Maurice, Capl. F.Titesi Renaud, discovered the burning ship and hastened to Ihe succor of the survivors. B fore dark, she succeeded in rescuing forty persons, mainly from the bowsprit, a few be ing [ticked up in the water. At eight o’clock a lami came up with 23 more, making alto gether 67 persons taken on board the Man-, nee, of whom 57 are passengers. They are all positively known to have been saved, and some of them were very badly burned. The next morning Ihe Maurice saw a Nor wegian h-irk cruising about the burning ship ; but n is hardly probable that any more were found alive. The Maurice sailed for Faynl on the/l4 h, and the same day fell in with the bark Lotus, Capl. Trefy bound for Hall fax. Twelve of those saved from the Aus tria were put on board the Lotus, "arriving at , Htlifnx on Sunday afternoon. It is from them that we get our accounts. On arriving ri Halifax, 10 of the 12 were received by the Captain of the propellor Prince Albert, who offered them a passage to New York.— Only six women were saved. IS uclia nanism. The Buchanan parly endorses the “Dred Si'.oil decision,” which makes slavery a na tional and constitutional institution, and which declares there is no power in the people to prevent its spread. Dnder this decision, the people of Pennsylvania have not the power to keep slavery out of this Stole. Th» Buchanan party is in favor of “pro gressive fne trade," as declared in their last national "convention, held at Cincinnati!.— Wnh free trade, our industry is paralyzed, our laboring people thrown out of employ ment, our specie sent to Europe, and our no lion beggared. The stagnation which is how oppressing the country, and which reaches all classes-of men, is the legitimate fruit of the free irudfiT: policy of the Buchanan parly. The Buchanan parly has squandered the people’s "money with a recklessness that has never been equaled in this country. A hun dred millions of dollars a year are now the expenditures under Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan is not content with confin ing himself to the legitimate duties of his office, which are entirely of an' executive character; but he descends into the legisla tive arena, and forces such laws through Congress ns he desires to have passed, by the force of Executive patronage. The Buchanan administration denies the rights of the people to make their own laws. He has subverted the doctrines of Jefferson, Jackson, and other eminent Democrats, and now holds the people in the same regard that the Despot of Russia holds his serfs. Presi dential whims and edicts are enforced with all the power that usurpation can give. Un der no previous President has the right of the people to self government ever been ques tioned. Mr. Buchanan comes down from his Pres idential Chair to influence and control the election of Congressmen by the people. In many instances, the using of his great pat lonage for this object is susceptible of proof, and to Lancaster county, he actually came in person to aid in the defeat of Mr. Stevens, whom he hates and fears. Mr. Buchanan has committed himself en tirely to the South, and he sets the seal of his displeasure upon every Northern man who will not become as subservient in this respect as himself. We might go on and fill columns with the weaknesses and sins of the Buchanan ad ministration, but those weaknesses and sins are fresh in the minds of the people. Voters of Lebanon, at the election on Tuesday next, you will be called upon to endorse or con demn these things. Which will you do?— There can be no neutral ground. He who fails to vole, is to all intents and purposes, aiding Buchananism. ' Freemen of Lebanon, let not such a political sin rest upon you ! Lebanon Courier. Gov, A. G. Brown, U. S. Senator from Mississippi, stated in a recent speech in that State, that he called on President Buchanan before lie left Washington, and that “Mr. Buchanan assured him in the most positive and unequivocal terms that he would appoint no man to office who held the opinion that Kansas,ought to be admitted before she has a population that would entitle her to a Rep resents in Congress, (according to the terms of the English bill,) and that he would decapitate every office-holder who expressed such a belief.’* —Montrose "Republican , THE AGITATOR.

We have rumors that the Buchancers have pro. cured Ihe affidavits of irresponsible persons directed against the character of Mr. Power. It is said that one of these affidavits is by Mr. Benjamin Barsc. Fortunately, Mr. Benjamin Barsc cannot do any damage where he is known, and where he is un. known his affidavit will pass unnoticed. Charges made against candidates on the eve of election are never worthy of notice. Mr. A.. 3. Munroc is trying to carry water on both shoulders, and will get thoroughly drenched next Tuesday. Mr. Munroc will try to run toith Willis, ton In the western towns, and against WiJiislon on the river. Mr. Munroe endeavored to get an audi cncc with Mr. Mann, at Coudersport, in order to get that gentleman to consent to a bargain, by which bargain he, Munroc, was to be taken for WilKslon, at par. Mr. Mann did not desire to trade colleagues and Mr. Munroc incontinently mizzled. The Republican ticket will be found at the head of tliis p.apcr, and we desire our friends in the vari ous townships to be on their guard against all tick* cts nut corresponding with that.

Bevigilantl beaclivc.’ Are You at Work ? REPUBLICANS ! Our opponents are never idle. Day and night, Sundays and all, they arc sconring the county for the success of their ticket. The Re publican who presumes to lean upon past success in this emergency, will be guilty of flagrant neglect of duly. Let every man GO TO-.THE POLLS EARLY and stand on guactf all day ! The big end of the fight comes next ! Arc you prepared for it? Have you cut, folded and lied op your tickets in setts? If not, let it be done without delay. Seven ballots make a fait sett. See to it that your tickets are not destroyed. The Euchanccrs are unscrupulous. They will do their utmost to prevent a fair expression of the will of the people at the ballot-box. Remember how that parly prostituted the ballot-box in Kansas, and what they did in Kansas they will do here, if you do nut stand on guard. Roll up your sleeves and take hold! The ticket must have not less than 1,500 majority ; it will do better than that if you work like men in earnest! Up with the flag of the BANNER COUNTY ! The Banner County ? Ay, Tioga has nobly won the Banner? Shall she keep it? You muslanswcr that question next Tuesday! The Banner came through your labor—nothing but your labor can re tain it! Every man is responsible ! Awake to the importance of your duly! FORWARD! DOWN WITH THE ALLIES! DOWN WITH THE MINIONS OF JAMES BUCHANAN! To Your Guns!—Stand Fast! A watchful eye—a stout heart—a firm purpose— an arm ever ready to strike down the ministers of Wrong, and an ever-present consciousness of the justice of the cause in which he battles, —such is the armor which renders man invincible in the day' of battle. Republicans! Are you in harness ? Friends! We are met /or the sixth time for con ference and encouragement upon the eve of a great battle; great, because freemen cannot now approach the ballot-box without meeting the Slave Power in the persons of the friends of James Buchanan. That Power is ever on the alert, ever busy plotting how it may best remove the remaining landmarks of Freedom. It rules your President, your Cabinet and your Federal Judiciary. It must be met and overthrown, or the liberties of the Republic must in. evitably perish 1 How can we meet and overthrow that most cruel of despots 7 . , There is no wrong without a remedy if men are true to the highest impulses of their natures. This Oligarchy which sustains James Buchanan and en ables him to bribe your legislators into the enact ment of Lccompton infamies—this great, central, controling influence can be met and driven back — must be met and overthrown; and the incorruptible masses have this great work to do. Their stout hearts, ready arms and invincible determination most do the work if it be done at all; and if it be not done, tben then they who come will know that a preceding generation slept when they should have watched, trusted when they should have dis- THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. trusted, and thus invited the ruin which they should have avoided. Freemen*—if we desire to be re membered with honor and gratitude, we must make this fight shoulder to shoulder , even as we have ev ery fight within the four years just past. The question is not “Shall we fight for this man as a man, but *• Shall we fight for this man as the tried and true friend of the cause we all revere; as standing upon a platform embodying the creed of Freedom , and us bearing aloft the standard on which is inscribed our watchword —*■ Not another Inch of Slave Territory I 1” This is the question, and it must be answered at the ballot-box next Tuesday, It ranst be answered—answered, not only in view of our responsibility as' freemen, as patriots, but even in view of .our duty as Christian men, acknowledge Ing our devotion to Right, to Justice, to that Human ity whose attributes attest its likeness to the Divine. Republicans,—this local fight is to be a sharp skirmish on the borders of the general battle field of 1860. Disguise this as the minions of James Bu chanan may, the fact still remains a perpetual war. ning to us all. We can none of us forget this fact, none can deny it any more than they can look up to tiie sun of a cloudless noon and intelligently say, “It is Midnight!” Nol it is a truth that will be realized in all its fulness two years hence* Then, every blow that has been struck for Freedom during the existence of the Republican party will be made manifest. Then, every traitor to the cause of Free dom will be confronted with the consequences of his weakness, or hts shameless cupidity ; and then, too, every true Republican will point to his political rec ord with commendable pride. But the man who lulls, or turns aside next Tuesday ; who casts his vole then for Porter, Frost, Bailey, Munroc and Reynolds—that man will stand self-condemned in in the day when all men shall reckon with them selves for every act of unlrammeled choice. Let us look at this thing calmly : One vole is just as good as another—just as important and pow erful for good, or evil, as any other. Every vole for the Republican ticket is a protest against the exten sion of Slavery and the wicked policy of James Bu. chanan ; because the Republican nominees stand on the platform of 1856. They thus become the cham pions of “ Free Soil for Free Men.” Every protest against Slavery next Tuesday will make itself felt in 1860, since* the effective strength of a parly de pends upon the integrity of its individual members. Now, on the other hand, every vote cast for the ticket put forward by the Buchanan parly will be an endorsement of the Administration; because it will be aiding and comforting that party ; it will be a vole for the success of the pro-slavery nominee in 1860. This is the argument of Ijic Buchanan press wherever that party has slrengUiL, It is a legitim ate argument; for no ballot cun 1 diop into a ballot box in these times that shall not left directly for the Slave power, or against it. Republicans 1 There is no safety for the liberties of this Republic except in the integrity and intelli gence of the masses. Parly leaders may labor to ac. complish their selfish purposes; they may change with every wind that blows; they may speak us fair while they design to betray ; but if we hold fast by the anchor of Principle, doing right for the love of Right; if wc vote always with a present con sciousness of out accountability to Heaven—the designs of wicked men will be frustrated and the threatened ruin will be stayed. As one who is wil ling to sacrifice and \e sacrificed for the cause of Human Freedom, wc appeal to our fellow-workers to STAND BY THE FRAG in this preparatory struggle. Wc make this appeal as one having a right to make it; as one who has stood in the ranks and fought, shoulder to shoulder, with you in five memorable campaigns. Let us go to the polls next Tuesday in full harness, and with a determination to poll every vote against James Buchanan llml can be fairly polled. Arc you prepared to “STRIKE DOWN THE ALLIES” of the Administration* under what guise soever they may allow themselves Are you ready for the contest? look at tike Platforms! The Buchamn party met in Slate Convention at Harrisburg, op the 4th day of last March. That Convention nominated Win. A. Porter for Judge uf the Supreme Court, and Wesley Frost for Canal Commissioner. It also adopted a platform, the 2d and 9th resolutions of which we publish here: Resolved, That by the uniform applica tion of (his democratic principle ( the prin ciple involved in the Nebraska act) to the organization of Territories and the arhnis sion of new Slates , with or without domes tic Slaver y, as they may elect , the equal rights of all the States will be pre- the original compacts of the Consti tution maintained inviolateand the harmony and perpetuity of the union of the American States insured. Resolved, therefore) that we unhesitating ly do APPROVE of the MEXSURES of Mr. Buchanan in his KANSAS POL ICY, and are ready and willing to sustain him in all the measures of his Administra tion thus far disclosed ; and we entertain the bellif that he will not abandon the dem ocratic-creed. The Buchanan party in this county have put for ward as candidates for county officers, John W. Bai ley, A. J. Munrocand Calvin Reynolds. These can. didales, as a thing of course, take their places with Judge Port2r and Wesley Frost on the platform, of which wc give two planks above. The men who advocate the election of Porter and Frost, arc not less active for Bailey, Monroe and Reynolds. Lev this fact be borne in mind. A vole for the “Inde pendent 11 Buchanan ticket is a vole to endorse Mr. Buchanan and the Lecompton infamy. The Republican Con ventiun of this county, nom inated Grow, Willislon, Mann, Power, Seeley and Jackson. It adopted a strait-out Republican plat form, from which we lake the Ist and 3d resolutions as follows: Resolved , That we nre unalterably oppos ed 10 the extension of Slavery into any ter rilory now in possession of the United States, or that Ihe Government may hereafter be come possessed of; that we reaffirm the right of Congress, under ihe Constitution, to pro hibit by positive enactment, the extension of that great national evil over another fool of the common domain. 3. Thai the attempt of the Administra tion to force a pro-slavery Constitution upon the people of Kansas, while it deserves the reprobation of all honest men, must be con sioered as only one of the legitimate results of the policy inaugurated in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and reaffirmed in the Cincinnati Platfortn. The Republican candidates stand upon that plat form, and ask the support 6f every man who sub scribes to the principles therein enunciated. The issue is plain : They who desire to endorse James Buchanan have only to vote for Bailey, Munroe and Reynolds; and all who wish to deal a sturdy blow upon the head of the great Democratic Dagon, can doao by voting for Grow, Williston’ and Mann, and • Power, Seeley and Jackson. The issue is plain. Reader! did you ever think for a moment what "manner of men they are. who are so exercised abaut the moral characters of Mr. Power ? We wont you to look at them a moment. When the Border Ruf fians were butchering Free State men in their beds or on their hearths, in'Kansas; when those demons (all orthodox democrats, too) were dragging defence less women from their homes and subjecting them to outrage more cruel than death ; when the good demociatic President was encouraging murder, rape i and arson by promoting the murderers of Barber and Philips to places of trust and profit; when all these damnably fiendish proceedings were going on at the instigation of the Democratic Parly, what ; did these virtuous and painfully moral men do? Did they scour the county with lugubrious face's indignantly denouncing the frightful immorality of the Administration ? Did they groan through the press and belabor Mr. Murderer-General Franklin Pierce? Not so. These moral giants applauded the Butchers of Kansas with a devilish zeal; they went out of their way to show how perfect was the sympathy between them and those butchers of Free Stale men and ravishers of Free Slate wives I We heard some of these very men savagely exult over the butcheries of unarmed men by their compatriots ! in Kansas. And now—note, they are filled with pi- j ous horror at the immorality of Simeon I. Power— for whose good repute as a roan and a citizen 140 of ins fellow.citizens and neighbors vouch, and against whom no man had wagged the tongue of slander before I Truly, while wc arc not given to hasty estimates of the immoralities of private men, wc haznd nothing in saying that, were the private lives of some of those men now so very busily cir culating lies about Mr. Power, opened up to public inspection, they would cut a sorry figure hereafter. Be this as it may, not all of them can get the un qualified endorsement of their neighbors, we very much suspect. These fellows have a holy horror of Sabbath-break ing. | Strangers might suppose that these moral gi ants were models of piety. We presume to say that they are so. Some of them do not recognize anv Sunday during political campaigns, it is true; but then, it is almost certain that they own a pew in Church and pay for it, and that constitutes an important part of religion as it is believed and prac. liced nowadays, yon know. On the whole, we arc desperately minded to admit that these fellows are opposed to Sabbath-breaking, and that they were scouring the county last Sunday, not to induce men to believe a lie % but to guard the sacred day from profanation by the ignorant Christians in the ranks of their pious parly ! Yes; we must admit it. Don Quixotic's worthy Squire was much given to exaggeration. While at a safe distance from (laa ger, none could swagger and bully like Sancho ; but when the hour of trial came, none gave away at the knees so soon. Sancho was great in bluster and bluff, and critics have bren puzzled to decide which was the greater ass, Sancho, or the he bestrode. Be that as it may, the Buchanan wlre-workers in this county act the part of Sancho Panza to perfee lion—the occasional freaks of honesty omitted. Two weeks ago these men were full of bluff and blunter. They would do i/«a, they would do that. They could carry this township by storm and that hv a tremendous majority. But they are downcast and crabbed since the Fair. The course of politics doesn't run smooth. The Republican masses arc determined to stand by the flag. Mr. Bailey has good reason to believe that Charleston' will repudi. ale him by 100 majority. So their knees began to quake visibly last Thursday, and their faces to elon gate. On the more religious portion of the knec-quakcrs were in great tribulation—so great that those residing in town fled into the country with fear and trembling. ‘ They had lied like San cho, bragged and bullied like Mr. Bob Acres, but U didn't seem to go down with the masses. Poor Pel lows ! We advise yon to go over to the old-fashion ed Uravcrsalists wilhout delay. Orthodoxy holds out a flaming hand to such politicians. Hankcrism is stricken with death and will die hard. It will need watching next Tuesday, for the last kick of the beast is the dangerous Let every true Republican be on the alert! Up, and at them ! Mr. Manning’s Letter, —We call attention to the letter of this gentleman as published in another place. Mr. Manning is well known throughout the county and his testimony touching the character and standing of Mr. Power will put an effectual qui clus to the anonymous slanders circulated by the friends ol James Buchanan. It will also render harmless any statements which may be procured of irresponsible persons in evidence of the truth of the charges tnadeagaintl Air. Power. It was amusing to witness the fluttering of the' Buchaneers when that letter appeared in print on Saturday. Some of the most pious, and who arc in expressibly shocked at the.immorality charged upon Mr. Power, flew into an awful rage and denounced Air. Manning as “a d d liar P* We account for this momentary reticence from the known standard of piety which obtains among these men, on the sup position that, “ Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,’ 1 Mr. Manning, we are able to say, is a Christian in practice as well as in pro fession ; and probably we risk nothing in saying that his testimony would be taken, wherever he is known,before that of any number of interested pol iticians, or that of their pimps. What Next?— We have positive information"of the fact that our political Joseph, Mr. John W. Bai ley, is running as a religious man in Farmington. Mr. Bailey is a mo>t remarkable man. He is a tec lolalcr in one township and five miles distant you will find him treating every man who will drink. He is a Republican in Sullivan, a Douglas man in Liberty and a Buchanan man where he is known. He is an exemplary religionist in Farmington and “ hail fellow, well met! 11 where piety is below par. None other than a most extraordinary man could sustain so many characters at one time. He has mistaken his vocation. Instead of aspiring to the Sheriffalty he should be on the stage, in training fer low comedy. He will doubtless take to that profit able vocation after next Tuesday. That is the best thing he can do to recover the money he has spent so freely in canvassing the county. Since he has such a remarkable faculty of accom modating himself to circumstances, we regret that there is not a small Mormon settlement in the coun ly, in order that his character as a religionist might be completed. It is a great mistake to suppose that Mr. John W. Bailey cannot be anything for three votes. “ Independent” Bucbanan Ticket. Sheriff— John W. Bailey, of Charleston, Assembly—A. J.

Frightful Acciden|t.— A-Little Girl Huso.—A frightful 'accident occurred on Wednesday last, nearitlje village of Friend ship, Allegany county, qn the New York and Erie Railroad. A woman named Guilford started with a little girj about nine.years of age, after locking up 1 the house, to visit one of her neighbors. After proceeding a short distance the mother remembered somethin® which she had left behind her in the housed and sent the little girl (jack after it, while she walked on. Arrived; at the place of deslina lion, she waited a longtime, but the girl did not appear and she bturned home. On reaching home she found the body of her daughter hanging from! the window outside, and dead. It appeared that the little girl, unable to effect an entrance by the door, had raised the window, andj while endeavoring to crawl in it had fallen.upon her neck and heTd her fast until life was) extinct. She was an only child, always in delicate health, and her parents are nearly disjraclcd at their Toss. Corruption at Washington I Mr. Covode, in his speech at the I House on the last Wednesday evening,^ 1 1 led an incident which shows to what j n | palling extent corruption is practiced by p present Administration. While theLeconn! ton Bill was pending, Mr. Covode I to be silting at a window overlooking | slreet, and overheard a conversation belve,, £' two persons immediately below. Onsjjl' them was a member of Congress, the ’ the proprietor of a genteel gambling salon, a man who finds easy admittance iniocojJ pany of what are termed gentlemen in \V a! j inglon. He heard the gambler other, “You don’t expect to be a candidal for re-election; and as you are by no mesj, wealthy, ten or twelve thousand dollar would be very convenient. We do not E( , peel you to vole for this bill; all wewj|) tj that you keep out of the way.” The bribe was not taken. . Now some people might be puzzled to knot w|iere the administration, who had employ this gambler as their agent, could get ijy money ; for they cannot draw money outs’ the national treasury except in pursuance;; law. That difficulty was managed in tij wav : Contracts for wagons’, mules ad other supplies for the army of Utah «e> awarded to certain parlies at such enormia prices, that a levy of a million of dolly was assessed • upon and cKeerliilly paid h hose contractors, for the benefit of the pay in their herculean effort to force slavery ;j; Kansas. 1 It is a glorious fact that willu; their money and patronage the admins;,t. lion did not cause a single swerve from his integrity and his duly, J. one could even be hired to go home and jg his family at the critical moment.—fittoi. ing Free Press.
