The Erie Gazette, brings na .' excellent re
port of' the speech delivered by Gov. Johnston
at Erie; - which we would be glad to publish at
length, did bur liMited space permit it, butwe
have mil) room for the concluding portion of
"I have thus, fellow-citizens, endeavored, in
a frank and candid manner, to express to you
my opinions on the questions bearing most di
rectly on the next election. I have—given you
freely-Tandfully.=—llavingras'befOrn
OM=
stated, no concealments, I could do no other
w isc. -11111 i-in a word, in-favor of the reduc
tion-and graduares . tinct ion of the Public-Debt,
by means of a sinking fund, of an economical
and judicious ndministration of State•
and of a wisely framed Protective _Tariff, 'such
as the interests of Pennsylvania require.
I had supposed, fellow-citiz'ens, that these
,
were properly ilic'questione connected with the
campaign, but our opponents tell us there aro
others. A 'distinguished gentleman, whose
longing eyes have ffif many years been fixed
upon tho Presidency, has taken it upon him
self to make otherdssues, and to allege that if
I nin re-elected the Union is virtually dis
solved! If such tll he the result, fellow
citizens, 1 honestly tell you 1 clo not wish to
be elected! I think too much of our admira
ble system of government, too much of our
glorious Union,_to be instrumental in produ
cing such a,catastropho. I think too much of
the noble State in which I live; a State in
which 1 was burn, and out of which I have no
interests, to lend myqelf, either directly, or in-
Llrectly, to the work of dissolving the Union.
Suppose the Union to be dissolved, what would
be the condition of Pennsylvania? She would
be the Belgium upon which the belligerentpar
tics would meet; would be the border State;
the ground upon which the battle of brother
with brother, and father with father, would he
fought. Can it be that a man who has no in
terests beyond the limits of the State, would
consent to be the efficient agent of thus delu
ging its fields end cities with human blood, and
making it the scene of warms anddesolation?—
The idea is preposterous, and unworthy of
moment's consideration.
But a very different object is had in yiewin
making the charge. Ire whose aspiring blood
would reach the Chief Magistracy,, of this U
nion, but cannot reach it care upon the basis
of come palpable humbug, gave expression to
it in order that he Might introduce an issue
which would enable bins to gratify his ambi
tious longings. But he is doomed to disap
pointment. lie mast reach the Presidential
chair by , sense other loop-hole or avenue, thro'
which to gull and humbug the people. Very
few, if any, will believe the silly charge. Be
any go to the bosom of !do oWn party, and
findscarce si% men who will not laugh at the
lieu of the Union being dissolved iv the re
sult of a single. State election!
Why is the attention of the " aspiring House
orLancaster" thus directed to me? Why
does he not look to and deprecate the conse
quences attendant: upoq the success of a polit
ical friend now in nomination in 3dississippi as
the Secession candkdate for Governor? Why,
does ho not - mako the charge general against
hie Secession friends in the South? does
he single out me, who never 1111:0 al)it gavemo
bre . ath entertained a thought, or uttered aeon
thnent, giving semblance and support to the
charge ? repeat-4e has so done witha hope
tomanufacture some capital in Pennsylvania,
to aid him in gratifying his Presidential aspi
rations. A vain hope it will be.
No Pennsylvanian is in favor of the (Resole-
'tion of the Union. No Pennsylvanian would
sustain a candidate for office, of either party,
who had expressedAr would dare express, a
single sentiment favoring se dire a result, I
have.iningled freely with the people, and never
found one who3e loyalty—whose devotion to
o Vnion, I could fm• n moment suspect. Why
there is ii - rastly niore difference of opinion re ,

majority, a vote on it was net taken until the
last day of the session. It was then passed,
suidloresented to me for my signature about
onehour previous to adjournment, after a vote of
thanks had been returned to the Spealcer,.af
ter the committees had been discharged, and:
after the general business of both branches
hind been disPoSed• of! TLe Constitution se
cures to'the Executive ten days to examine and
decide upon
,enactments of the two Houses,
andlbelieVing that in the instance referred to
the object was to interfere with a clearly,Con
stitutional right, I of course, under a proper
sense of self-respect and a proper appreciation
of my privileges and duties,. did not feel my
self bound to act upon the bill within the
lim
ited perio'd assigned, particularly when other
engagements of d more pressing importance
claimed my attention. I, furthermore, could
not discover any occasion-for any - particular
hasto. The - law - hatl - been - in - force - fthir - years - ,
and still the Union stood in all its original glo
ry and grandeur; and' Judge Porter, ono of
The advocates of iterrepeal, had pronounced it
a Constitutional, though discohrteous :enact- .
merit, so that the National Compact could not
be considered in very imminent danger from a
little:delay in the disposal of the question.--
Well persuaded 'of this, and that the purpose,
had in view in acting upon the subject at so
late an hour was to place the Executive in an
awkward position, I quietly pocketed the bill,
as I had a right to do, and intend to keep it .
there until the meeting of the next Legisla
ture!
.But, fellow-citizens, another argument om
-played to — prove - my - hostility - to the National
Union and Constitution is founded upon a cer
tain feature or certain features of the Com
promiso-measures-whieh-l-have-not-chosemte
endorse. The Compromise measures; properly
speaking, have passed from the 'hands of the
people. California has been admitted, and is
a member of the Confederacy, the boundaries
of New Orleans have been fixed, and the Slavo
Tratle_in th.o District-of-Columbia—has-been
abolished, and nobody can, as I suppose no
body desires to, disturb these several acts of
national legislation.
But the Fugitive Slave Laid, passed in con
neolign Mith thef3 measures,-does-not-occupr
precisely the Larne relation to the popular
judgment. As a law of the land it is,entitled
to respect and oliediencU so - long as itisa law.
It N 71151 adopted, professedly, with a view of
fulfilling that provision of the National'Con
stitution which, recognizes the right of slave
holders to recover fugitives efrom labor esca-
ping into other States ; and hating agreed to
that National Constitution, it
,of course our
duty to carry the same into effect. ,But the
question . here arises, has the Fugitive Slave
Law been so framed that this - Constitutdonal
provision can be carried into effect. I think
not; and had I bad the honor of a scat in
Congress I &hoold have voted against it, be-,
e Luse it does not sufficiently guard the rights
of the colored' population. I have no false'
sympathy with that class; but they are hu
man beings, possessing capacities like our
selves, and as such are entitled to just pro,
teetion. For proof that fhelaw may :and does
not'operiile properly and equitably, I refer
you to the case of the alleged fugitive slave
who was sonic months since brought Were
Commissioner Ingraham of Philadelphia, and
upon_verr'y alight testimony remanded to the
•esidence of Lis assumed Owner in the adjoin
i* State of - Maryland. On being taken ihei'e
owever, he proved not to i.e the person . sought
for and was set al liberty. Cases like this aro
constantly liable to arise under the law. Bo
regarding it, I conceived it a duty in My lest
Annual Message to the Legislature to speak
of it as requiring modification or amendment,
so as- ts_afford security against such hasty
judgments. I yet think it might be so chang
ed as to protect better the rights of both mas
ter and slate. But we are told that - if we dare
to modify the law, or. even talk abou it, the
Government is at an end. To ' say nothing
about the ridiculousness of such, an assump
tion, deny the people the right to discuss any
and every measure of public policy, and you
introduce tho most odious form of. human
tyranny. It has been said • that an Austrian
Emperor, goaded on by some, real or fancied
insult, once undertook to destroy the liberties
of Bohemia. After vainly resorting to En
morons expedients, ho determined to teach them
to fowl their mother tongue. Let us, my
friends and fellow -citizens, be admonished by
the example. Let us-carefully guard against
every attempt to take from us liberty of
thought and speech. Let us speak oust boldly
and fearlessly upon every public 'question—
defend the cause of /GOlLT—denounoe all forms
of mton—find as a legitimate adjunct of the
National Union, and the Constitution upon
which it is based, labor to spread far and Wide
the blessings of Human Freedom !
The Union, my Follow -citizens, is safe, W;ilV
ever designing politicians may allege to the
contrary; and' have adverted topics
last discussed, not because they are relevant
to the present contest, or in any way threaten
the general peabei and security, but because .
they have hemmed') issues by a distinguished
gentleman from Lancaster already Alluded to,

At the death of Philip . ' Doddridgo,- an ernii
nent lavryerin Virginia; who died in ttb City
'of "Washington while a member of Congress,
it was stated' as a reason for retainiug his bodY
longor.:than usual,-that, onA former occu / sion,
he-hiXiiisirowly:escaibil the-fate or b'eing bur
ied alive: .IXe had fallen into a outtileptio
condition. Ills respiration had ceased, his
Ruble no longeithrobbed, his liinbs were' per-,
* featly rigid, and his face exhibited the sharp
outline of &nth. Tho family physichitt and
friends all, with the exception of his wife,
Mrs.. b., however,
weuldisot relinquish direry hope, and continu
ed to apply, from time to time, every remedy
she could think of to restore vitality, and fi
nally succeeded in administering a small quan
tity of brandy, which immediately restored
him to life and the command of his limbs. lie
lived many years afterwards, and was wont to
relate, With deep feeling, the painful and hor
rible sensations ho experienced during the
period he was supposed to he dead, Ile said
9,lnt though he was perfectly unable to move
his Snger or give the least sign of Isis being
alive, be could hear hnd was conscious 'of
everything that was going on around

and the lamentations of hie family, the direc
tions for Lis shroud - and'all the usual prepara
tions for his burial. Ile • made „d4porite ef
forts to sheiv , that he, was not dead, but in
vain ; he could not move a muscle, liven des
pair and the immediate presence of ri fate
more appalling to humanity than any other
earthly terror, could not rouse the dormant
body to perform the slighteitt of its functions.
At last' h e heard Airs. Doddridge call for bran
dy, with the delight, and rapture of love_ for
her wli'teh the - horrors of - his ging - fan may
easily explain. He felt that ho was saved.—
He humorously observed ...that it was -11 S little
as brandy could do to restore him to life, as it
had produced his living. death.". Mr. Dodd
-ridge-wasimfortilmitelraddietedrtS thellitenti 7
porate lase of_ardent spirits, and altt - of in
temperance had,_no doubt, produced- the con
dition from which ho was relieved, by tlip per
severance and 164..0f his wife, who adminis
tered, at the latest moment, the powerful stim
ulant.which restored In to Otherwise
his fate would have been of-many others,
who have been buried befdre life was extinct.
Another instanea of provceAlco-leom,, the,
horrors of premature interment occurred in
_this country, arid has been related by Mrs;
Childs in her letters from New York. It is an
additional proof of 'strong conjugal affection,
and of the necessity of retaining the body,
Where there remains the least doubt of the ex
tinction of life. The undo of Mrs. Childs
was attacked in Boston with the yellow fever,
and considered ns dead. His affectionate wife,
however, did not nbandon_.all hope,.but gen--
owed n•ith him thirjAg his Hitless, contrittyto
tho remonstrances of her friends, and pefshit
ed in refusing to allciw hiltody to bo taken
frbm the house for interment. "She told
me," says ilrs. Childs, that she never know
how to account for it ; but though ho was per

years-slui had been subject to nervous attgoks,
which frequently deprived her of every ap

hours she would' recover and resume her aeon

Occasion, however, the suspension of her fac
ulties was so protracted that her friends called
in medical man, who pronounced her dead.—
She - Was then sewn up in a close shroud, at
cording to the barbarous custom of the coun

take a last look at her friend, ripped the
shroud; and imprinted a kiss upon her cheek.
While she was kissing her, she fancied that
she felt her 'breathe. She repented the cares
ses, and being shortly assured of the fact that
her friend was•not dead, she applied her mouth
to. that!of the girl; and in a short time the lot:,
tar was restored to life, arid able'to dress her

. "A young girl," says Dr. Crichfon, "in the,.
sarviee of the Princess of who had,
for some time, kept her bed withanervous af
fection, at length, to all appearance, was de
prived of life. Her face bad all the character
of death—her body was perfectly cold, and eve
cry other symptom of death was manifested.—
She was removed into another room, and pla
ced in a coffin. On the day fixed for her fu►' i
neral, hymns, according to the oustoni of the
country, were sung before tho door; but at
the moment whenithey wore going to nail down
the coffin, a perspiration was seen on her skin,
and in a few minutes, it was suceeeded..by
convulsive motion in the hands and feet. In
a few liniments she opened her eyes, ancnut

The account which she gave of her situation
is extremely curious. She,said, that she ap
peared,to dream she was dead, but that she
was sensible of everything that - Was Missing

bewail her death; she felt them envelope-her
in the shroud, and_plaeo her 'in 'the coffin.—

The Lcipsio Chirurgioal Journal records the
following 'distressing event as having occurred
to an officer of artillery, who was a man of
gigantic stature, + and' robust make. Being
mounted man unmanageable horse, he was
successfully trepanned, bled, and other useful
means ofielfef adopted ;_but he fell gradually_
into a more hopeless degree of stupor, and 'ho
was finally believed to be dead. The weather
being sultry, he was buried with indecent
haste, in ono of the public cemeteries. Ile
was buried on Thursday,, and en..,ffm.follewing
Sunday, the grounds, as usual, being thronged
with visitors, an intense excitement was pro.
duced by the declaration of a peasant;_ that
while he was sitting on the grave of the officer
he had distinctly felt a motion of the earth as
if some one wee struggling beneath. Of course
but little attention was at first paid to the
man's assertions; hilt his evident' terror, and
the dogged obstinacy with 'which he persisted
in his story, hed at length their natural effect
upon the crowd. IMplements were hurriedly
procured, and the grave, which was very shal
low, in a few moments was so far thrown o- 7
pen as 'to render the head of 'the occupant vis-
Bible. He was then apparently dead, but he
eat nearlyerect_in the coffin, the lid of which ;
in his furious struggle, he had partially
ed. They conveyed hith to the nearest hospi
tal, and there ho was. prottettneed to be 'still
living, although in a state pf aspyhxia. In a
few holm), he so far revived as to recognize his
acquaintances, and in broken accents spoke-of
his agonies in the grave.- It appears that ho
had beenoonsolous-of life for more; than an
hour,' while buria, before he' relapsed into a
state of insensibility. 'The grave was filled
loosely with a very porous earth, and some air'
woe thus admitted. He heard, ho said, the
footsteps of those over his head, and endeavo-
red to make himself henrd in turn. It was
the noise and tumult within the grounds which
appeared to awaken him .from -a deep • sleep,'
hut no sooner was he awake: than he, became
fully aware of the horrors' of his position.— .

RAPPING,-TO-SOMETIMPOSEI: .
Or ; the Sorrotvoi of a Man who didn't
- Pay the Printer'.
DI" A. D. ILIOITAD.D.SON
Mr. Franklin Burbank was a lucky man.--
Every body, said so, and of course what every
body says must bo true, Not that I intend to
vouch for the truth of any statement because
every body-believes it; in foot, I have a faint
recollection of having heard reports at times,
which were quite extensively circulated, on
the truth of which I _should. not - . tie ready .
stake anything I valued very highly.
Be -that as it may, of the truth 'of 'the fact
recorded at the commencement of this article
no one ever expressed a doabt ; so allow me
to repeat emphatically that Mr.' Franklin Bur
bank was a lucky man. Some people, indeed,
went so far as to say he was born with a-silver
spoon in his mouth; but in regard to the truth
of this statement, I'o not feel prepared te . giiiel
any evidence, for the best of reasons. How-
over, Mr; Burbank was a man well -to do in
the world. He had a pleasant wife, half a ;
dozen interesting children, and moreover,--was
the possessdr of a plook of buildings up town,
which wore a sore temptation to certain per- -
sons to disregard the first clause of the , tenth
commandment. And when ho rode out of a •
pleasant afternoon,' behind his elegant grays, •
there were many who envied his position.'
• Everylithly knew Mr. Burbank. Elderly la
dies always recommended him to their neph
ewe as a model man; and what was of far
more practical benefit to him, his name was
good on 'Change for almost any sum. People .
said, too, that he was a happy man, and on
the whole, I am inclined to agree - with them in
this respect. Had you marked his round, jo,
iiitreTitinfenance, find
surely have pronounced him a man who made
the most of the good things of this life.
Mr. Burbank was a punctualman: So said
Madame Rumor, and who over questioned her
veracity'? Perhaps, too, his conduot afforded
13116 a Isobel. 11,Wilifrly, at tlio end of every
quarter, ho settled all his bills with a prompt
itude seldom witnessed. All, did I say? No;
there was one bill which had been accumula
ting for the last dozen years, and that was the
printer's; — Poi' all Thattffize

of the morning paper, and as- systematically
smoked over the evening edition: And if,
through the negligence of the' carrier, Ito had
not received his paper, or had received it an
'hour behind the time; ho had always esteemed
It hia.vspeCial. privilege „to speak of_it,in a
toz4'ns -near grumbling as such an invariably
good:humored man could approach. Why he
had never paid for his paper, I do not profess
to know. It was ono of those mysteries which
mortals are not permitted to look into. Cer
tain it is that ho had been presented with his
bill times without number; but we will be
charitable and suppose that the remembrance
of it always slipped from his mind, the mo
ment it was fairly and snugly deposited in his
pocket-book.,
___Now, the printer, was one of thase..whole-
Fouled, generous-hearted beings, who are con
stantly on the lookout for the good time com
ing,' and wait its approach with a patience
highly-commendable. For years ho had toiled
n, early and late, in season and out of sea;
son, and Mr. Burbank had enjoyed the fruits
of his unrewarded labors. For aught I know
ho would I.IIINO enjoyed them still, had not an
event occurred which somewhat destroyed the
usual equanimity of his feelings. The circum
stances-were on this wise:—One evening hav
ing returned to his household gods rather later
than he was wont, he wits fairly established in
bed and had fallen into a sound slumbor,when
suddenly there' came a succession 'of sounds
apparently from tho ceiling beside him. • .
,Rap, rap, rap.
Mr. Burbank uttered a sound somowlido
between a snore and a groan.

Mr. Burbank rolled over.

from his pillOw and listened eagerly.
