of Marshall's resolution produces an "imminent
deadly breach" in the w hig party, and it becomes
by this act sectional ; it nationality is lost, if

COKKUNICATIOTr.
Editok :
Mr.
The recent sudden death of the
Hon. Richard Coulter one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court will necessarily impose upon the
people the duty of looking about for a compe
tent successor. Already several names have
been suggested, any of which if selected I
have no doubt, from their taknts and legal Icaru
ing would discharge their duties creditably to
themselves and the people. The democracy of
the State owe it to themselves to see that the va
cancy is filled by one of their own number, and
to no one will their attention be mure readily
directed than to the Hon. James Ca3;I'Eell.
It is hardly necessary at this late day to en
ter into a detail of his qualifications' to discharge
the duties of that high and responsible office,
nor to refute the oft repeated tale of his ene
mies of incompetency. The satisfactory man
ner in whieh he discharged h'.s duties as one of
the Judges of the Court of Common rieas for
the city and county of Philadelphia for the last
ten yeais is a sufficient guarantee, that in any
station he would not fail to meet the expecta
tions of the people. 7e is well known to be

I t V
His recent defeat should not be regarded
as an argument against his selection again, but
his having been lie fore the people last year I
consider favorable. He is well known : his name
has became familiar to the people of the whole
I State ; and his nomination by the party again
j would induce it to march to the polls in solid
column, with the determination and certainty of
success. That he enjoys the confidence of his
party 13 evident from the large vote he received
in the State Convention by which, lie was nom
inated ; from the manner in which he was sus
tained by the one hundred and tiventg-six thou
sand democrats of the State at the polls, and
from his having been selected by Gov. Eigler
to fill the important office of Attorney General
f ir the State, which he now holds.
His defeat was effected by a well concerted
scheme of misrepresentation, and trickery car
ried on throughout the State, and now that the
opportunity is offered, the democracy owe it to
themselves, to see that he is elevated along side
of those with whom he was associated upon the
ticket last fall, and in whose election they could
triumph with the satisfaction of Laving sustain
ed a consistent member of the party, rebuked
disorganizes, and in some measure meted out
to them retributive justice. CAMBRIA.

The following, from the Philadelphia Sun, a
paper that warmly advocated the election of Gov
Big leu's opponent, is a sample of the commen
dations we daily hear:
"We are much gratified that we have not been
deceived in Gov. Eigler, with reference to his
views on banking monopolies. The veto power
is safe in such hands. Wc think other develop
ments will produce similar results. Our State is
averse to the creation of any more monopolies.
If increased capital is required to meet business
demands, let us have Free Banking. It is the
only democratic plan, and will meet favor with
all classes of our citizens, except those already
interested in the huge monopolies which oppress
men of business, instead of assisting them. Let
Gov. Bigler go on as he has commenced, and
Pennsylvania will see brighter and happier

The Freshet at the Vet.
Pittse t"KG, April 21.
The freshet in the rivers here is the most did-
asfrous sL.ce 18C2. A much larger amount
property has been destroyed than at any previ
ous hood. However, the river is now lallm
fast, so the greater danger is over.
It will be some days before we will be able to
tell the actual number cf lives lost, or the a
mount of property destroyed.
The steaml oat navigation on the river is en
tirely suspended, as the boats cannot pass under
the Wheeling bridge, cwing to the high stage of
water.
The lowea part or point of this city and the
water front of Allegheny city, are both under
water.
The little towns ot Birmingham and Temper
:u.. 1 a- t ,t ,
anceville have suffered much damage, and are
partially under water.
The damage in the interior must have been
very great judging from the vast quantity of
drift stuff which floated past the city.
It is estimated that from three to five hundred
rafts have been carried away and broken up by
tiio flood.
The tow ns of Rochester, Bridjrewater. Sharon.
and Fallston, on the Beaver river, thirty miles
below this city, are under water to a great ex
tent. The accounts from all directions show that
the flood has been most disastrous on its course.
The western cars, on account of the freshet,
have suspended running this week.
The Pennsylvania canal, as far as known, is
not injured.
The engine of the city water works is under
water.
The Chronicle gives an incident, which we
copy with pleasure.
On the Allegheny side, a woman and mother,
who had been almost exhausted in rescuing her
children from a house nearly under water, mis
sed her hold, and fell into the surge beneath.
She was soon swept out into the stream, and
was being borne down its raging bosom with
fearful rapidity. Her clothes spread wide and
bore UP. and whn nur tl.
' - - -i' n J Ul lUJU
she attracted the attention of the multitude
which lined the banks. Directly a youDg man
was seen plunging in to her rescue;
Like a rich conquest in one Land he bore her,
And with the other dashed the saucy waves,
That thronged and pressed to rob him of his
prize ;
he struggled on with determined energy, uatil
half dead himself he saved her from a waiery
grave. The intrepid man is Charles Lct.is, a
resident of our city.
TLe Morgantown, Ya., Mirror, of the 17th
instant has further particulars of damage done
by the flood along the Monongahela and its tri
butaries. On West Fork river three mills and
twenty-six buildings were swept away, leaving
eleven families houseless. Four hedges were
also destroyed.
At West Brownsville an unfinished steamboat
w as swept away from the yard of Messrs. Cox
Laneheart. Captain Pringle also lost a fine
boat. Messrs. Watkins & Co., of the Browns
ville Iron Works, lost their warehouse, 150 kegs

now as she has been for ten years past, in
of James Buchanan. Some of the IVIi-k,;.
however, and a few of Mr. Buchanan's pcr.iri
enemies, have endeavored to create the impres
sion abroad that he is not popular here. S.ne
have gone so far as to assert, that if nominated
he could not carry the electoral vote cf thi
State.
The purpose of this address, 13 to give L.i:
assertion a distinct and emphatic contradictiv!: :
In our own names and iu the name of the grea
party which has made us its representatives, we
pronounce all such statements wholly false.
The present attitude of the Democratic prtj
in this State, is of itself, win n rightly consider
ed, a standing and most eloquent proof that tie
allegation referred to cannot be true. Mr. Eu-

that a people as true-hearted and zealous in tie
support of Democratic principles, as these viio
compose the great body of his friends, would le

""C""J " prouuiy, claim lor our party i
this State, a character too L3:h to be su.-retd
of uncandid, double dealing. Besides, our n?
tives for desirine the nomination of the strer.z-
est man in the Union, are as powerful as foe.
which operate on other minds. We are embar

an interest as any of you in choosing a phot
will take us safely through the perils oftLevr;

an's availability is greater than that of any oth

we urge his nomination.
If we are entitled to the credit of sincerity, '
remains only to show that we are not mis:akfa

as the popularity of one of our own citizens,-0
has been the subject of more or less discu0

To say that three-fourths of a Convention,
chosen from among the people, and coming 10
gether from all parts of the State, misrepresen
ted their constituents in mere ignorance, is
a little less degrading than the assertion
they have done so by design.
Again: It ia known to every tolerably
informed man in the countrj-, that there is
reason to be found in Mr. Buchanan's history 0
character which would have the least ie"- '
character which wouiu nave mc
to make him unpopular. His great talents
