GREAT RAIL Rim AUGMENT! $50,000 LOST AT EASTON.—Great Fall of the Railroad Bridge—two 10 , comotives precipitated into the Canal—One man killed and several wounded. Accompany ing this terrible disaster there still was a striek ! of luck to the. Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa ny for. its occurring at the time it did—on Tuesday afternoon , because on the following morning some 30 or 40 cars were about being loaded by merchants in New York and Phila delphia with new style Fall and Winter Goods, all of which were to pass over the Bridge the same afternoon, directly.to Allentown, and there to be unloaded at Joseph Stopp's Cheer Cash Store, No. 35 West iNnlilton street. It is evident that 'if these cars, with their heavy freight, had been shipped in time to get on the. Midge, that their immense weight would have broken down the entire structure, and precipita ted their contents into the Delaware, and thus' would have incurred a loss to the Company of between $300,000 and '400,000: and not this alone, but the citizens of Allentown and vicini ty would also have felt the loss, because if this immense quantity of cheap goods would have' been lost, it would certainly have caused a! scarcity, and a rise of 20 per cent. But by the aid of luck and the telegraph the intelli gence of the accident was communicated to . Philadelphia, and Stopp consequently had his l goods loaded dulling the three successive days,' on steamboats, canal boats, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows, backs of Biggers; &c., and now they have commenced to land at his new Store House. His clerks arc now engaged both day and night in unpacking and selling goods. As , I passed by there last night between 11 and 12 o'clock, I stepped in, and to my astonishment found perfect mountains of goods piled from floor to ceiling. I passed back through the Store and saw a pile of about 500 Shawls, of! I all colors and prices—from $25 down to 37 cts. a piece. On the other side I saw about 4000 yards fancy De Laines ; and a little fur ther along about 0000 vds. of twilled Persian I Cloth ; on the other side i hit my elbow against 14 or 15 cart loads of Calico, and a little fur ther along there was a pile of 8 or 10.000 yds shirting and sheeting from to 2t ; yds. wide.! I then looked for men and boys' wear, and on one side of the store saw many thousand yards of cloths, cassimcres, sattinetts, Kentucky jeans, tweeds, &c., of all colors and prices.— , I then began to get towards the rear end of the store, and my eyes fell on carpets, oil cloths. looking glasses, window shades, glass and qleensware. By this time I began to get pretty tiled and sleepy, and as I turned around at t h e end of the store I made a mis-step and down I went, head over heels, into the cellar. When I opened my eyes amd my senses were restored. 1 saw a stack of salt in one corner from floor to ceiling : 'on the other side there was the nicest sugar, cclf..e, molasses, cheese, and mackerel I ever laid eyes on. I asked ens of the clerks some of the prices, and after I was told. I felt disgusted on reflecting that I had so long been a fool by paying double prices for my goods else where. It was almost daytime now, and Ide (ermined after breakfast to send you these rwls for publication in the Register.

Aug. 20-2 m " To the slavehulding class of the pn:mlat hut of the Southwest, In , in t rudtiot ion of manufletures is not less intere , t• hig th a n to the non slaveholding class. The former possess almost all the wealth of the country-. The preservation of this wealth is a subject of the highest consideration to those who possess it." This picture is distressing. in that it exhibits three-fourths of the whites of the South substan tially destitute of property, driven upon soils so sterile that only a scanty subsistence is obtaina ble : discouraging as it exhibits this great bulk ',ldle white population being degraded socially. From an address upon the subject of manufac tures in Scutt' Carolina, delivered in 1851. be fore the South Carolina Institute. by William Gregg, Esq., we make the following extracts: "In all other countries, and particularly manufacturing States, labor awl capital are as suming antagonistical position. Here it cannot be the case : capital will be. able to con trol labor, /wen its matnijiwtures with Owes, fiw blacks can always he resorted to in case of need. * From the best estimates that I. have been able to make, I put clown the white peo ple who ought to Work, and who do not, or who are so employed as to be wholly unproductive to the State, at one hundred and twenty-five thousand. " * By this it ap pears that but one-fifth of the present poor whites of our State would .be necessary to ope rate 1,000,000 spindles." The antagonistical position referred to be tween labor and capital, is flint contest in which free white labor obtains from capital Ade quate remuneration for service rendered. That white labor is susceptible of degradation in the Slave states is proved by the statement of Mr. Gregg to the effect that the existence of Slavery enables capital to control white labor as well as black, by the power which it retains to substi tute the latter when the former becomes unru ly. It becomes interesting to glance at the condi tion of the population thus encompassed by slave labor. Gov. Hatinnond in an address be fore the South Carolina Institute, in 1850, des cribes the poor whites of that State as follows : " They obtain a precarious subsistence by occasional jobs, by hunting, by fishing, by plundering . fields or folds, and too often by what is in its effects far worse—trading with slaves, and seducing them to plunder for their benefit." Elsewhere Mr. Gregg speaks as follows : • rt, is only necessary to build a manufactur ing village of shanties, in a healthy location, in any part of the State. to have crowds of these people around you, seeking employment at half the compensation given to operatives at the North. It is indeed paintul to be brought in contact with such ignorance and degradation." Can the chivalrous sons of South Carolina yeah ly contemplate a dissolution of the Union, if she cannotie permitted to extend further, - in:; stitutions under which one-fifth of her people are savages, while another three-fifths are MRS. STOPP fi CO iiientow, Pa., October 15,.11856. [From the PottFyille Journal.] slaves ? Freemen, what think you of the insti- The Pour ‘Vhltes of the South. tutions which have for their champions, Brooks and Keitt ? Of the white male population of the Slave States, which in ISSO numbered 1,490,892, of the age of twenty-one years and upwards, but 347,525 were slave holders—that is but about one-fifth of the white male adults of the Slave . States own slaves. It is interesting to inquire into the actual condition of the non slave•hold ing whites of the South, especially as they have no real political weight or consideration in the country, and little opportunity to speak for themselVes. Mr. George M. Weston, for sonic time the editor of The . Age, the lending Demo cratic paper in Maine, who for twenty years has been a reader of Southern newspapers, and a render and hearer of Congressional dtbates, in all that time does not recollect ever to have seen or beard these non-slave-holding whites referred to by Southern gentlemen, ns constitut ing any part of what they call " the South." When the rights of the South, or its interests, or its institution are spoken of, reference is al ways intended to the rights, wrongs, policy, interests and institutions, of the three hundred and forty•seven thousand slaveholders. No body gets into Congress from the South but by their direction ; nobody speaks at Washington for any Fouthern interest except theirs. But there is, at the South, quite another interest than theirs : embracing from two to three times, as many white peoplii and entitled to the &crust sympathy and commiseration, in view of the material, intellectual and moral priva tious to which it has been subjected, the degra dathin to which it has already been reduced, and the still more fearful degradation with which it is threatened by the inevitable opera tion of existing causes and influences. Workingmen, gaze upon the distressing and discouraging picture embodied in the annexed extracts from a paper on '• Domestic Manufac tures in the South and West," published by Mr. 'l'art•er, of Missouri, in 1847 : The free population of the Smth may be divided into two classes—the slim holders and the non.slaveholders. lam not aware that the relative nuMbers of these two classes have ever been ascertained in any of the States, but I am satisfied that the non slaveholders far outnum ber the slay/holders—perhaps by three to one. In the more southern portions of this region. the non -slaveholders possess, generally, but very small means, and the land which they pos sess is alMost universally poor. and so sterile that a scanty subsistence is all that can be de rived from its cultivation : and the more fertile soil. being in the possession of the slaveholders. must ever temain out ii' the power of those who have none. in a paper published in 1852, upon the " In dustrial Regeneration of the South,'! advocating manufactures," the Hon. J. 11. Lumpkin, of Georgia, says : " It is objected that these manufacturing es tablishments will become the hot,beds of crime. * * But lamby no means ready to concede that our poor, degraded, half fed, half clothed, and ignorant population— without Sabbath Schools, or any other kind of instruction, mental or moral, or without any just appreciation of character—will be injured by giving them employment, which will bring them ender the over:hht of employers, who will inspire them with seltrespect by taking an interest in their welfare." Here too, reade . r, it seems that Georgia like South Carolina:' and under the influence of the same cause, has her poor whites, degraded, Wired, half-clothed, without mental or moral instruction, destitute of self-respect, and of any just appreciation of character. Is the. North prepared to see this fair continent blasted with such a population as this ? Yet the slaveocra cy threaten dissolution, if not permitted to ex tend thi:ir institutions upon soil now free, and degrade the white labor which now basks in the sunshine of prosperity. A writer—a citizen of New Orleans—in De Bow's Review for January, 1850, says : " At present, the sources of employment open to females (save in menial offices) are very litni• ted : and an inability to procure suitable occu• patina is an evil much .to he deplored, as tend ing in its consequences to prothice demoraliza- tiou. •• The superior grades of female labor may be considered such as imply a necessity for educa tion on the part of the employee, while the me nial class is generally regarded as of the lowest : and in a slave State, this standard is • in the lowi.st depths, a lower deep,' from the fact, that, by association, it is a reduction of the white servant to the level of their colored fellow menials." • The complaint of low wages and want of em ployment comes from every part of the South. Mr. Steadman, of Tennessee, in a paper upon the Ettenston qf Cotton and IYoul Factories at the South, says : " Itt Lowell, labor is paid the fair compensa tion of 80 cents a day for men, and $2 00 a week for women, besides board, while in Ten nessee the average compensation for labor does not exceed 50 cents per day for men, and $1 25 per week for women. Such is the wisdom of a wise division of labor." The statement in the above in reference to the wages in Lowell, is too low. Workmen are [Ad $1 00 a day, and women receive from $3 00 to $4 00 per week. In a speech made in Congress, five or six years since, Mr. T. L. Clingman, of North Caro lina, said : '• Our manufacturing establishments can ob tain the raw material (coiton) at nearly two cents on the pound cheaper than the New Eng land establishments. Labor is likewise one hundred per cent. cheaper. In the upper part of the Sl ate, the labor of either a free man or a shire, mending board, clothing, 4c., can be ob tained foe $llO to Sl2O per annoni. It will cost at least twice that sum in New England. The difference in the cost of feinale labor, whether free or slave, is even greater. As we have now a population of nearly one million, we Might advancj to a great extent in manufac turing, before we materially increased the wa ges of labor." This statement it will be perceived embraces the important acknowledgment that the wages of free white labor arc reduced when contend ing with slave labor. A consequent degrada tion is the result. The workingmen of the North have much at stake in the present contest with the three hon• dred and forty-seven thousand slave holders of ; the South. It is for them to check the progress of a power which exists only by crushing be , neath its feet the rights and happiness of the la- I boring classes, and subduing their great, free. spirit.& To the extension Of the institution of Slavery, with its blighting effects, the Cincin nati Platform is Pledged. Upon that Platform —merged in it. so as to lose his identity, stands Jas. Buchanan. If the degrading, servile prin ciples embraced in the declaration of the Dem ocratic party, triumph at the approaching elec tion. then farewell to the hope so earnestly cher ished of checking the progress of the slave-dri ver. We will be prepared to see his foot-prints ; polluting the soil of virgin territory in the far West, and hear the clank of fetters, where alone I should be seen the cottage of the free husband man, and be heard the musical laughter of his joyous children. Kansas is experiencing the iron despotism of Slaveocratic mob rule, a fore taste of what may be expected under its undis puted sway, if successful• at the Presidential I election. If that event happens, the shores of j the Pacific alone will stay the progress of Sla very {Vest on this Continent. Workingmen, you have a deep interest in maintaining the dignity of labor in this country. Ponder on the Nets presented above, and then decide if you can be tricked into a support of I Hui capdidate for the Presidency, who is now I supported by the Slaveocracy in a body, and who is pledged to uphold their peculiar j ests, if elected. This is no idle contest, liner- 1 ican citizens. Your most cherished rights, so cial and political, are. in jeopardy. Are you! prepared to defend them to the utmost extrem ity.? THE NEBRASKA-KANSAS FRAUD. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, in 1854, was sprung upon the people without no tice and in violation of all the pledges given by the President, and was hurried through by the united votes of the South and of their subser vient Northern allies. The political storm which followed placed the President in a woe ful minority, and presented the sad spectacle of a man just elected by the votes of twenty-sev en States, rejected and disowned, not only by the people of the United States, but by his native State of New Hampshire, who regarded him as a traitor to Freedom. By a bargain made at Washington, Kansas was formally surrended to the slaveholding leaders of Missouri, who poured an armed fierce of five thousand Border Ruffians into the Territory, drore away from the polls the resident voters, tool: possession of them, and elected all the members of the !aril aria? Legislature. The in famous and outrageous acts passed by this Mis souri legislative body, we shall not stop to enu merate, nor shall we enter into the details of the savage treatment of the free State settlers, their wives and families, by the ferocious satel lites of the slave aristocracy of Missouri.' In all the alThirs of Kansas the arnr of the Government has been raised to put down Free dom and extend Slavery, and the last act of the present Governor is to authorize the celebrated Col. Trees, the leader of the Border Ruff ms and horse thieves, to raise' n battalion of his former followers, to secure the ascendancy of the slave power in this devoted Territory. It is clear, therefore, that the intention of President Pierce, and the Democratic members of the Senate, was from the beginning to make tinsas a slave Territory and a slave State.— And to carry out the original bargain, and com• plete all the arrangements, arc the imperative duties of Mr. BUCHANAN', the nominee of the• slave power. and who is bound to do all its billings. It is morally certain : 1. That the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise was the direct result of a bargain between the slarcholding leaders qf Missouri and the President and the Democrat c leaders of the: 2. That the direct object of this repeal was to deliver over Kansas, bound hand and foot, to slavery. 3. That, as a part of the original plot, the territorial elections were to be carried by an armed invading three from Missouri. 4. That the Missouri Territorial Legislature, elected by force and fraud, were to pass the laws of Missouri at once, and recognize slavery by punishing as felony all attempts to deny its ex istence in Kansas. 5. That the Government at Washington was to recognize it and all its acts, and Carry them out at the point of the bayonet. 6. That this was done originally by Governor SHANNON, and now by Governor Gsaar, who is arresting and imprisoning free State men, but not even touching a single hair of one Bor. der Ruffian's head. 7. That by organizing a battalion of Border Ruffians, raised by Cul. Tires, who has been a prime leader in all the affrays and attacks upon the innocent, free State men and their property, Governor GEARY' has virtually given over the lives of all the free white citizens of Kansas, and of their wives and families, to the care of men who respect neither age nor sex, and to whom tarring and feathering and scalping are familiar occupations. What confidence can be reposed in such an Administration, its offs !er a s or agents, or in any one engaged in the cruel and nefarious scheme of, enslaving free Kansas ? Or what confidence can be placed in the present nominee of the pat ent Democracy, who is bound by the most sol emn pledges to continue this infernal system of proscription, torture and murder ?

As a I true Democrat and an frishiirrit. I could not be elsewhere than lam in this country.
