There appears to be considerable interest
manifested by a portion of the }.reps to know
the views of Mr. Bre...kir:ridge in relation to
the present criiis, Some of them gn so far
ass to clecln.re that the Le.:sington States
man, s Democratic journal published at the
home of Mr. Breckintidge, find his enthusia-s
-tic Aupporter during the Into Pre-idential
conteat, has defined his position in the fol
lowing editorial remark's:
"There is an yet no jukt rause for revolu
tion or disikolution. The Union commands
our cordial allegiance to it we shall be loyal
until its basis, the constitution, has been
actually destriyed. Kentucky , ts ill not sur
render the Union. I hit. people are na gni- .
lent and rpirittql defenders/‘,l their rights,
and as little disposed to submit to wrong
and dishonor, as any men who tread the soil of
America. They will not permit themselves
to be degraded nor their rights invaded ;
but they do not believe the time has come I,
for revolution, and will yet cling to the
Union with the devotion of the true sons 1
of '76.
" To onr &lenient friends we would ear-1
neatly appeal to wait the Hill development 1
of Lincoln's policy before striking the fatal
blow to the Union. Kentucky is a border
State, and. as such, the that and greatest suf
ferer by abolition ascendancy. Qur State is t
• harrier of protection to the cotton States
agaitrit antislavery aggressions. Our
friends in the South can certainly bear the
administration of Lincoln as long as we can. 1
Then, let them heed the voice of Kentucky. I
stand true to the Union, and not exhaust
sill hope of yet maintaining the constitution.
The Democracy of Kentucky, those mon
who, in the support of Mr. lireckinridge,
have given earnest of their fidelity to the
rigida of the South. will appeal to the South
to give up whatever movements are now in
contemplation, and like patriot., uphold the
constitution and the Union. Do this, and
all may yet be welL"
Nothing has had a greater influence in un
dermining the old-fashioned love for the
Union than the reckless conduct of the Re
publican newspapers. The Philadelphia
Andietisi. which has played a prominent part
in producing the difficulties under which
the country labors, now very calmly says—
"On the whole, we think that the danger
of Southern secession is now underrated by
the Forth." We don't knmr of any paper
that has labored harder to induce the North
to underrate the danger of griuthern seces
sion than this sameSr4dlctisi. When the dan
ger of secession as the consequence of the
election of Lincoln was pointed out, during
the canvass, theStiftetis laughed at the idea.
and treated it as a mere electioneering dodge
of the Democratic Tarty to frighten the peo
ple into voting against Lincoln. contrary to
their wishes. Thousands. misled by the as
surances of the Republican papers. firmly
believed that as soon as Lincoln was elected
this "disunion talk" would blow over and
that thei3outh would quietly submit. Had
not this conviction been impressed upon the
people Ltxcotx could never have carried
Pennsylv*a; for the voters of thie State do not
care enough for any manor any party to im
peril the Union for the sake ofpartyomeeess.
But no sooner is Lincoln elected, end all the
deplorable consequences of sectional ascen
dancy, predicted by the Democratic party.
upon the country, than the very men who
were londc.t in quieting the apprehensions
of the people turn around and tell them
that they unn'erratt the danger of .Soy/here
se
eeuion. If sueh papers as the Bulletin had not
persuaded the reople to imderrati the dan
bers of Lincoln's election, lie would not have
ben chosen. and we 'would not now be in
the midst of the greitest peril. But after
encouraging this under-estimate of danger
for partizan purposes, it strikes us as in the
highest deg! ee insulting for the ROlei;n to
tell its deluded render , , who are now bemoan
ing the con -v.9111 -1,-es of their own folly in
takinz its adric ,, , that timer have not an ad
equate conception of the danger of South
ern secession. It is like decoying men into
a false path, and then mocking their ignor
ance after it Is too late for them to retrace

chemical science hag found that the curative

the remedial effects of opium are due solely
to the morphia it contains, although this is

As . far as we have been able to gather the

the u , e of measures to coerce a State into

Ma. STATILE : Dear Sir :—There is per
haps no one more averse to a newspaper
controversy than myself, and although I
felt indignant at the thrusts made in the
Star in connection with my appointment as
Physician to the Alms House, I had in
tended to let them pass in silent contempt,
until wassailed in this week's issue. I
would not now gratify the nominal editor
so much as to answer them. were I not a
stranger to a large portion of this communi.
ty, who might think the Star in this case told
. the truth. Ever since my removal to,Get
tyshur,,,e, I have endeavored to offend no
one by my political course, and have taken
no active part in polities. To be thus assail
ed and dragged before the public in connee
tion with an appointment that was offered
before it was sought, only shows how fond
!the Star is of making personal attaeks upon
4those who choose to differ with it in politi
! cal sentiments.
In reply to the questions, I answer—aft&
the defeat of Gen. Scott. in 185'4 and
, the disruption of the Whig party, I
took no pert in politica, regarding my
self as WlthOnt a party. The American
party never commanded my confidence,
and the only time that I east a vnte between
1185`2 and 1860, was in Maryland in 18.57,
when I voted *mixed ticket. Upon my re
imoral to Gettysburg, I confess that I still
I felt unsettled in my political position, and
i sn expressed myself to many: but it was not
more than a couple of months before I die
' covered to my satisfaction the sectional
character of the so-called People's party,
which at once determined my position.—
'As early as the Ist of Dec ., 1858, I ex
' pressed myself to several that I wonld set
with the 'Democratic party. The Star says
shortly before the election of 1859. As to
the eenverration in the I%r office, I do not
remember of ever being there but once, and
'that was to insert my professional card. I
i then distinctly told Mr. .Mellhenny that I
had been an Old Line Whig, but hardly
I knew what would be my future course.—
' Perhaps the editor concluded as I was a
I Whig I was a Know Nothing. and hence
took it for granted my views accorded with
his, or else did n't know the difference be-
I tween the two. In regard to putting myself
I under the wing of the " Cos/pi/sr cligne," I
I have yet to discover the existenee of such
a clique or any other in the Democratic
party. If there were snch I hold my politi
, cal sentiments of more value than to tack
! them to any " clique," or to allow them to
be strayed by the dictation or ethers. Hoping
I these answers may be satisfactory to the
meddlesome editor of the Star, I dismiss the
subject, with the regret that I was thus
forced to appear in a public print.
I Very truly, vours,
A. W. Nam.
A Nowand Animals Burnt Alire.—We an
nounced Saturday the burning of the Pacific
at Uniontown, Kentucky, one of the finest
steamers on the western waters. She had a
very large quantity of live stock on board,
end the burning of these poor creatures
must have been a sickening sight. One ac
count says Mr. Robert Ford, a passenger,
cut the halter of one of his fine horses,
which swam ashore. A large bullock also
swam out, but died as soon as it reached the
shore. The scene of the burning boat and
its thousand bead of live stock. aU tied to
the stake, a prey to the devouring flames,
was fearful and horrible in the extreme.—
There were seven hundred and fifty sheep,
and one hundred and thirty head of fat
cattle, mules and horses, all burnt alive,
with no chance of escape. In addition to
the live stock there was upwards of three
hundred tons of pork, bacon and .our on
board, which, together with the destruction
of then plendid steamer, involved a loss of
nesibly $lOO,OOO.
Terrible Rail Road deeiderit.

into tAe LeAigA Clennk, Pa.,
November 30—A terrible accident occurred
yesterday at a point on the Beaver Meadow
six miles from this .place. The
usual train, consisting of one knaage and
one paesengr oar, left here about 1t.16 A.
M. The ear was full, many of them having
left with the intention of spending Thanks
giving day at different places on the line—
When opposite Beaver Creek dam a rail
broke, and the trucks being thrown from
the track, the pamenger car was toseciside
ways into the Lehigh river, down an em
bankment over fifteen feet in height.
Many of the inmates of the car were la
dies. Bo sudden was the shock that four of
these were injured so seriously as to be mar
ble to eaoape from the broken car after it
had reached the river. Fite persons, as fer
as known, were either killed by the fall or
drowsed.

ALUMNI OF PENNSYLVANIA COL
LEGE.—A copy of the General Report of
'the Alumni of Pennsylvania College, dated
September 19, 1860. has been placed upon
our table. The Report will proveinterest
ing. not only to the Alumni, but to all the
friends of the institution.
The number of graduates is 302, located
at present Him: Pennsylvania 178, Mari
land 34, Virginia 18, Ohio 18, Illinois 14,
New York 0, North Carolina 8; iituth Caro
, lina 3, New Jersey 3, lowa 2, Alabama 2,
Kentucky 1, Miseouti 1, Georgia 1,
Mnwis
sippi 1, California 1, Indiana 1, Texas 2,
Nebraska 1, Canada 1, England 1, India 2.
They have entered upon professimts in the
following proportion Ministers 156, Law
yers 35, Physician 19; Non-professional, or
in preparatory study, 92. Of those licensed
to preach, 14 are engaged as professors or
teachers, or otherwise than in the constant
discharge of ministerial duties ; 2 . are mis
sionaries in India. Fifteen of the graduates
are or have been connected with the press ;
whilst nearly an equal number hold or have
held judicial and legislative positions.
The obituary report of 18.58 notices three
deaths, viz : Wm. F. Creaver, Edward Min
turn. and David W. Earthen' : 1859, Charles
L. Raker and John S. Crumbaugh; 1860,
David J. Eyler, David Stroh and Charles
Henry Hersh.
A statement of the literary labors of the
Alumni is also given, as shown in the pamph
lets or books published by them.
The Report covers twenty-seven years, in
which twenty-eix classes were graduated.—
In 1836, there - were no graluatrss. The first
class consisted of 3, and the last of 19. Of
the twenty-six classes, seven contained less
than 10 members—the first being the small
est. Or the 302 graduates, 44 belong to the
last three classes, who are, mainly, F till pre
paring for active life. Twenty-six also are
deceased. Almost one-half of the whole
number of Alumni-138—have been gradu
ated within the last ten years.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—On S a turd a y
last, the wife of Mr. Henry Petty, residing
on Baltimore street, met with a very serious
and painful accident. It seems that she
was walking in the yard, and happened to
tread upon a piece of loose board or plank.
which gave wayiprrcipitating her with great
force to the ground, dislocating her hip.—
Dr. Irombangh was immediately summoned,
and' who done all that human skill and
science could suggest. to relieve her. Mrs.
F. is, we are informed, lying in a very pre
carious condition.—llanorer IS'yeetamr.
TARE A PAPER —An exchange truly
says a newspaper in a family of children is
worth more than a quarter's schooling.—
Every boy, "worth raising," when he begins
to read becomes delighted with newspapers,
because he reads of names and thing which
are very familiar, and will make progress
accordingly. Resides, children amused by
reading or study, are of course considerate
and more easily governed. How many
thoughtless young men have 7 spent their
evenings on the streets, who ought to have
been reading. How many parents who
never spent twenty dollars for books or
papers for their families, would gladly give
thousands to reclaim aeon or daughter who
had ignorantly and thoughtlessly fallen in
to temptation. By all means, we repeat,
"take a paper."
BIG BEM AND POTATOES.—East
