and one of the most popular songs of those

They were the "Tariff men," undoubted
ly opposed to "Blacklegs," "Bankrupts,
and "Bank Suspensions" in favor of
"Protection" and death on Henry Clay,
for whom they now shed crocodile tears,
after bunting bim to his grave with a fe
rocity which would make a hyena blush !
Well.a dozen jears have rolled around,
and notwithstanding tbe Irish Famine,
which created an unforeseen demand for
our breadstuff, and millions of gold gath
ered from California, at laU tbe crash has
come, and having destroyed the "Tariff for
Protection" they falsely pledged them
selves to sustain, "Bank suspensions and
Bankruptcies," are again the legitimate
fruit of Locofoco mitrule ! i
THE STATE DEBT Which Party caused it ?
While County and State Elections all have an influence in shaping questions
of National policy, there are considerations of great weight, touching State affairs,
which should not be overlooked. Our glorious old Commonwealth is like a valuable
Farm or Store well manayetl, it produces abuudantly, prospers, and is no burden :
but, ladjf managed, it is unproductive, runs in debt and becomes burdensome. The
weijht of Taxation under which Ptnntgh'inM gcuant, requires an answer to the
question above stated. We reply, by quoting tbe figures from page 33 of the last
Official Report, dated Jau. 9, 1857, of II. S. MAUUAW, now for a second Term
elected State Treasurer by the Democratic Party :

Ritoer, Johnston, and Pollock, were elected by the Opposition to the Democ
ratic party, and belJ the office of Governor from 1836 to 1833, from 1849 to 1851,
or, from 1855 to 1858. From the above Democratic authority, it is proved that
of the Funded Debt of over Forty Millions of Dollars imposed within the last thirty
years, less than Half a Million was imposed by the three Opposition Governors...
in other words, tlte Democracy imposed One Hundred Dollars of DcU where the
Opposition imposed Oue 'Dollar I
Which Party has REDUCED this Debt ?
This is a very important question. We reply to it, again, by quotations from
Official sources, via.

A half of Dollars, raising it to near Forty-Two Millions !
Gov. Pollock's Administration, under the operation of the Sinking Fund,
and by the Sale of the Main Line (which last has been constantly opposed and was
bitterly contested to the last, by Packer's friends, and the leading men of tbo Dem
ocratic party,) REDUCED THE DEBT OVER TEN MILLIONS) Ol DOLLARS !
aaThe Sale of tbe Main Line under Gov. Pollock, is accompanied by a reduc
tion of one half mill on the State Tax, to take effect after this year. Instead of
3 mill tax, it will be a 2 mill tax, hereafter.
MrTbe North Branch Canal was begun by Gov. Ritoer, and abandoned by his
successors resumed under Gov. Johuston, and finished under Gov. Pollock.
WHICH PARTY WILL YOU NOW ENTRUST?
Having eonelusively shown, from Democratic and Official authorities, that tbe
so-called Democracy are responsible for more than (99 out of every $100 of our
State Indebtedness that every Democratic Administration has increased our
debts that every Opposition Administration has reduced tbe debts tbe question
assumes a practical form : VFAtcA Party will you entrust fur the ensuing three years T
Tax-Payers and Workingmen of Pennsylvania I one party has by gross misman
agement heaped a tremendous burden upon yon, wbicb they have increased at every
opportunity : jou can not trust that party. The times require tbe very best men,
aud the best management. The other party has controlled mora advantageously,
and so arranged as to pay sff tome portion of your indebtedness, and relieve yon of

ashore for some months at Dundrum Bay,
coast of Ireland, but is now engaged as a
transport for Iudia. Tbe Franklin and
Humboldt went ashore and broke in pie

latter near Halifax. Tbe Arctic and Pa
cific were lost as already recorded. Tbe
iron steamer Tempest, measuring 1500
ton3, sailed from New York, Feb. 12,1357,
with a crew of from thirty-five to forty
men, aud was never heard from. Ou tbe
Pacific, several bae steamers have been
lost, generally of a smaller class. The In
dependence, for instance, was totally lost,
with one hundred and twenty lives; aud
the Tennessee, St. Louis, and Yankee
Blade, Wiuliold Scott, and others, became
total wrecks.
EoglL-h steamers, in waters contiguous
to the United States, bave fared little
better. Within a short time we bave to
record tbe loss of tbe fine iron steamship
Canadian, on the St. Lawrence ; also tbe
steiiul)ip Clyde,, and several steamers in
tbe West India Islauds.
A calculation as to tbe number of lives
lost in the steamers makes a total of about
seventeen hundred. This loss being irrep
arable, no consolation can be derived from
the fact that a large proportion of it might
bave been prevented by a division of tbese
ships into compartments by water-tight
bulkheads; but there is opportunity to
make the adoption of such . a means of
safety compulsory upon tbe owners cf all
sea-goiog steamers, and thereby doing
much to prevent the recurrence of catas
trophes such as we too often bave occasion
to deplore Ar. Y. Juurnal of Commerce.
Distressing. We regret to learn that
a son of Mr. Philip Steller, of Penn town
ship, this county, aged about 12 years, met
witb an uutimuly death on Weduesday last,
by accidentally hanging himself witb a
clothes line stretched upon two trees. It is
not kuown precisely how the accident oc
curred, but it is supposed, as be had just
been romping with a brother and another
person who bad gone out to a field, that
iu obeying tbe request of his mother to
bring some wood, he in passing tbe Hue

drew on, as the darkness fell, the raft
drifted and drifted in the other direction,
till the last trace of the vessel waa lost
for ever.
"So it is in life. The temperate man,
who thinks he at least will never die a
drunkard, whatever his neighbor may do,
only wakes to find himself drifting down
the cataract, and all hope gone. The sen
sualist, who lives merely for bia own grat
ification, drifts into an emasculated old
age, to be tortured with passions he can
not gratify, and perish by merciless, ag
niziog diseases. The undisciplined, who
never learned to eoutrol themselves, who
are spendthrifts, or passionate, er indolent,
or visionary, soon make ship-wreck of
themselves, and drift about the sea of life,
tbe prey of every wind and currvnt, vain
