THE STATE TICKET When they have been united, the De mocracy of Pennsylvania never have been defeated. The only chalices of ,an Opposi tion triumph, are in causing divisihns in our ranks. The Democrat, therefore, who re fuses to vote for the State ticket this fall, will act precisely as the Opposition wish them to act. The men who compose our State ticket, are acknowledged on all hands to be worthy, honest, and upright. Their capacity and integrity cannot be question ed. They have served its people worthily and well already in responsible positions.— No Democrat can have - A reasonable excuse for refusing to cast his vote for them.— Their success, will be the success of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania. In Allegheny count• we are in a minori ty, but the Democrats of this county may be numerous enough to decide the fate of the ticket this fall. It is all important to the Democratic success in 1800, that we should carry our ticket this fall. There are those who will always go with the winning party. The prestige of succccss carries with a great moral force! Ilow impor tant it is, then, that every true friend of the Democracy in this county, and all over the State, regard the subject in its true light, and commence to work. The dif ferences of the past are nothing. They are past, and let them be forgotten; and let one and all unite in a mighty effort to save the old "Keystone State from the evil influences of a factious and greedy Opposition. Let us, next October, be able to inscribe upon our banners, as in times pait; "Pennsylvania, —the Gibralter of Democracy !" IRON WEALTH OF MISSOURI The amount of iron ore in the iron re gion of the State of Missouri, is estimated as follows: Iron Mountain, 22S feet high,cover ing 500 acres, one mass of specnlar Ore, weighing 230,1K.275 tons; average yield at furnace, fifty-six per cent, or 125,0(14,93ii tons of pure iron. Pilot Knob, next in rich ness, is estimated to contain 43,973,77:1 tons of ore, or 7.000,0(10 tons of pure iron. These two deposits will furnish about 13G,0011,4 0) tons of iron, the ore of which all lies above the natural surface of the country. easily mined, and furnishing the best of metal.— Railroad iron, seventy pounds to the yard, takes 1232 tons to the mile, and all the railroads in the United States would take of that ~weight of rails about 3,50104 x) tons of iron, or 1140 of the deposit above :To ken of. This is only the ore above the sur face. This rich deposit of iron as well 'as that of the Lake Superior region, is gradually tending through the avenues of commerce to our Pennsylvania coal fields to be manu factured. At Pittsburgh, before three years have passed, we shall have a dohen blast furnaces in operation. all of which will use more or less of the Missouri and Superior ores. The advantages to our manufactur ing and coal interests, as well as to the cai vying trade, are obvious. In securing a cheap production of iron—to meet the con stantly increasing demand—it is demonstra ble that it costs less to bring this rich, fat ore here than to take the coal to the iron deposits. Besides, Pittsburgh, in addition to its manufacturing facilities, is nearer than any other point to the great markets of demand for the manufactured product. Already, we have initiated a new brimch of iron manufacture—the building of splendid iron building fronts, which will soon become a regular article of export to other cities and there is no end to the new uses for which iron is almost daily demanded. I tis an article for which the demand is unlimited and, as Pittsburgh is the central point of the country for its cheap production, we shall have here a constant and largeincrease in this branch of manuthcture—an increase which will directly benefit-capital and la bor, and indirectly, will benefit :every one, both produces and consumers. The Mexican war is carried on more fiercely between the State and the Church than between the military aspirants for Presidential honors. Juarez continues to carry out his decree confis cating the Church property, and the Arch bishop launches hisaarmless thunders at Jua— rez's head. He has excommunicated all the Liberal party. Tho latter have gained a few advantages over their enemies, but nothing has occurred to produce any more public confidence in the restoration of peace and good govern ment in Mexico. Vice President Breckinridge The Lexington Statesman, in an article on the results of the Kentucky election, thus clos es a brief review of the public services of the Vice President: Major Breckinridge has, in his brilliant ca reer, shown less desire for self-promotion, and more devotion and zeal in behalf of—the suc cess of Democracy, than any man we'know of. His gallantry has only been equalled.by his modesty, and his brilliancy and abilittby his discretion and his devotion to principle:. with Powell and Breckinridge in the Senate, Ken tucky will stand in the Union where she stood when she was represented by Clay, 'Bowan, Bibb, Talbott, and a host of other worthies, now no more. They will be Ht associate; and will work well with our talented representatives, Bur nett, Peyton, Brown, Stevenson, etc., etc.; and we hope the Democracy of the State will next winter agree with us in saying that Eentucky needs, and will demand, the services of John C. Breckinridge in the Senate chamber of the United States. MRS. QUITMAN, relict of the late . tlienoral Quitman, died at her plantation in on the 28d of Aug Wit, =ME SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.

DOUGLAS That excellent aavaluablc. , American work, Appleton's nett Cyclopedia, contains a well written, fair, usually correct biographical notice of Stephen A: Douglas. It appears in a publication that was prepared -mostly by men who, in:politici, nre'opposed to Mr. Dougho-- and, as we understand it, this article, which we subjoin, was written by a'Re - publican who has become eminent in the service of his party. We mention this fact, as an explanation of any want of friendly r 0 6 .4, tbay,beTeaderway ob- serve in the composition. It is an article de signed for use in history, sketching the life of a statesman of positive views, by a partisan of , an opposite school. As such, we commend it to the candid attention of the Illinois public. What will strike the intelligent reader, will be the entirely different tone and spirit of this article from the diatribes of the selfish and Ina- lignant conductors of the Republican press of Illinois : Douglas, Stephen Arnld, an American statesman, born at Brandon, Rutland county, Vermont, April '23, 1813. His father was a native of the State of New York, and a phys ician of considerable reputation. He died suddenly of appoplexy, when his sun, Stephen Arnold, was but little more than two months old. The widow, with her Mfant and a daughter only eighteen months older, re turned to a farm, which she had in herited conjointly with an unmarried broth er.

Tn the Bouseof itnpreientatives,Mr.Douglas was prominent among thos e wa.t, in the Oregon controversy w ith Brett Brit. i man th2t our title 1.i.) the whole of oregomup to latitude 54 deg. 41) min, was ••vel a r uOil unquestionable. - He declared that lie never Nsi.a,il, now or hereafter, yield up one inch of Oregon, either to Great Britain or any other gl:vernment." He advocated the policy of giving notice to termi mete the joint occupation; of establish ing a territorial government or :•r Oregon. protected by a sufficient military I. and of putting the country at once into a state of preparation, so that if war should ri sult from a n assertion of our just rights, we alight drive •Great Britain and ale lastto-tiger of royal authority from North Amerhat, and make t h e nited State: Fin ocean-bound repallt." Fie denied the right of the federal government in prosecute B system of internal improvements in the States, though he maintained the consti tutionality and expediency of improving riy eta, harbors. and navigable waters, and advo cated a scheme of tonnage duties for that pur poso to be levied and expended by the local authoritlos. lie was mainly instrumental in securing the passage of the law extending the maritime and udm i rally jurisdiction of tbefeder al courts over the great chain of ,t!orthern lakes, having reported the bill as a member of the judiciary committee, and put it •upon its pas sage, when a member of the house of Repre sentatives. Ho was among the earliest advo cates of t h e annexation of Texas, and, after the treaty for that object had failed in the Sen ' ate, he was one of those who introduced prop ositions, in the shape of joint resolutions, as a I substitute for that treaty. As chairman of the committee on territories in 1646, be reported the:joint resolution declaring TexaS to be one of the United States of America, and lie vigor , oualy sustained the administration of Presi dent Polk in the measure's which it adopted for the prosecution of the war with Mexico, which was the ultimata eonserence of that act. As chairman of 'the territorial commit ' toe, first in the House of Representatives, and afterward in the Senate, he reported, and successfully carried through, the bills to organ ize the territories of. Minnesota, OregOn, Now Mexico, Utah, Washington, Kansas and Ne braska, and also the bills for the admission into the Union of the Statea of lowa, 'Wiscon sin, Califoimin, Minnesota and Oregon. So far as the question of slavery was involved is the organization of territories and the admis sion of new States, he early took the position that Congress should not interfere on one side or the other, but that the people of each terri tory and State should he allowed to form and regulate their own domestic institutions to suit themselves. In accordance with this princi ple he opposed the " Wilmot Proviso," when lirstspasae4 is the House of Representatives in 1647, as an amendment to the bill appropriating $3,000,0011 to enable President Polk to make fi treaty Of'peatei 'with Mexico, and afterward in the Senate,,whimofferrzi u amendmet to the bill for _ the . orgtualzation of the territory EM== of Oregon. In August. 1847, however, he offered an wpendment to the Oregon Bill,%ex.- tending thcfllissouri Compromise indefinite ly Westwaid to the Pacific ocean, in the same sense and With the same Understinding with which it was originellyadopted in 1820, and extended through Texas in '1845, prohibiting slavery in all the territory north of the paral lel of 36 deg 80 min., and hy.linplietition recognizing its existence south of that line. This amendment was adopted in tile Senate by ' a decided majority, reviving the support of every Southern Senator, but was defeated in the House of Representatives by nearly a sec- MEM! The refusal of the Senate to adopt the poli cy of congressional prohibition of slavery in all the territories, and the rejection in the House of Representatives of the,proposition to extend the Missouri Compromise to•the Pacific Ocean, gave rise to the sectional agitation of 1849-'5O, which was the temporarily quieted by the legislation known as the Compromise measures with zeal and vigor and on his re turn to his home in Chicago, tinding 4 them assailed with great violence, he defended the whole series in a speech to the people (Oct. 24, 1810) which is regared by his friends as one Oi the ablest he has ever made. In this speech ho delined the principles of which the compromise acts of 1850 were founded, and upon which he subsequently defended the Kansas-Nebraska bill in these words These measures are predicated on the great-fundamental principle that every people ought to possess the right of framing and regulating their own internal con cerns and domestic institutions in their own • . x * These things are all eon ded by tho constitution to each . tato to decide for itself and 1 know of no reason why the same principle should not be extended to the territories." Mr. Douglas was an unsuccess ful candidate before the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore, in 1853, for the nomi nation for the Presidency. On the 50th ballot he received 92 votes, the highest number given to any candidate for that ballot, but of a total of 2SS votes. At the congressional session of he reported from the committee of ter ritories the celebrated bill to organize the ter ritories or Kansas and Nebraska, which effec tually revolutionized political parties in the United States, and formed the issues upon whieh the Democratic and Republican parties become arrayed against each other. The pas sage of this bill caused great excitement in the free States of the Union, and Mr. Douglas as its author was widely and vehe mently denounced, and in many places was hanged and burned in effigy. The whole con troversy turned on the provision repealing the Missouri compromise, which Mr. Douglas maintained to be inconsistent with the princi• pie of nonintervention by Congress with sla t ery in the States and Territories. After re pealing the Missouri restriction, the bill de clared it to be the " true, intent and meaning of the act not to legislate slavery into any State or Territory, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof. perfectly free to form and regulate their dome4ip institutions in their own ,way, subject only to the constitu tion of the United Statei." Whatever diver sity of opinion may exist in regard to the cur rectilesi of this principle and propriety of its application to the T,rritories, it must be adm,it ted that Mr. Douglas has proved flitprot to it under till circumstances, and defended it when user assailed ur Violated. In ISsli Mr. Doug las was again a candidate for the Presidential nomination before the Democratic National (A/11V ,ption at Cincinnati. The highest vote he received was on the loth ballott, which stood ior ;Ir. Buchanan 168, for Mr. Douglas 121, for Mr. 011..4. ;n the congressional se.sioti of 5.",7-'B, he denounced and o:posed with ener gy and ability the Lecompton eunstitution. upon the distinct ground that it was not the act and deed of the people of Kansas, and did not embody their viil- Before the 14djournr4ept of that session of Congress lie returned home to ',indicate his action bef,re the people of Illinois. in one of the most exciting and well contested political cant as-es ever known in the United States.

Subsequently, in a debate in the Senate l Feb 2:1, lee avow ed and defended the slime doctrine when assailed by several of the Democratic party. Mr. Douglas has been remarkably 511,1,,51111 i n prolooti lig the local interests of his own State during his congressional career. To him, inure than to any other individual, is Illinois indebt ed for the magnificent grant of lands which secured the construction of the Illinois Central railroad, and contributed so much to restore the credit and develop the resource; of the State He lee , always been a warns supporter and advocate of a railroad front the Mississip pi to the Pacific ocean, having been a member of the variogs committees of Congress on that subject, and being the author of ,eyeral Lilts re ported by thoso committees.

He declared that ho did not desire to vific: , l;:tat wintry at that time, but maintained that i tiM . ;-4 1 /Pqa routes must bo kept open as highways to the American possessions on the Pacific, that the l.rrie would conic when the United States would he cms.pelled tooccupy Central America, and that he would never pledge the faith of the republic not to do in the future in respect to tide continent what its interests and safety might require. lle also declared himself in favor of the acquisition of Cuba whenever the island can be obtained consistently the laws of nations and the honor of the United States. Mr. Douglas was married April 7, 1841, to Miss Martha D. Martin, daughter of Robt. D. Martin of Rockingham county, N. C., by whom be had three children, two of whom are living.
