E5U.The Johnstown Cumbrian has a lengthy article in reply to ours charging thatpaper with hostility to the fugitive Slave act. The editor plainly establishes two important facts first, that he is in favor of the act as it is, ond sec ond, that he would like to see it modified or a inended. He thinks that eventually some change must be made in it. We presume that "time and experience" have already suggested to lis mind "the necessity for further legislation." on the subject, and we expect that he will "dis cuss," "agitate," "speak," "argue" and "wrfte'' about the law until he gets a better or a worse one. We hope he may have a good fnae do' lg it.

There were not more thr. 1500 to 2000 persons present. The enthusias-r has decreased since the nomination of Genei..' Scott. It is a little singular that the Whigs should celebrate a victory gained in a warvhich they styled a BLOODY, UNCHRISTIAN, UN HOLY, GOD ABHORRED, BLOOD-THIRSTY WAR. The whig party were not so patriotic in 3846 and '47, when they "so anxiously desired the American soldiers to be buried in tlbloody graves" with "Jcocpilable hands" as they are at present. But the game won't win gentlemen, you have one of the heroes of that ACCURSED war, (as you ca'"ed it) nominated for the Presi. ilency, but the people are not going to sustain the party that are always against their country during a tear, aid very good at ce'.ebrating the victories in time of peace. So look out for your defeat. Robert Farles, Eiq. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who is making a tour of the state, writes from Pittsburg a3 follows concerning the above uam ed gentleman, the chief Engineer of the New Tortage Road. This tribute of respect from a political opponent, exhibits the high esteem in which men are held by both parties, who trans act the bus'ness entrusted to them in a compe tent manner. "At the Summit, we took on board Robert Faries, Esq., Chief Engineer of this mountain division. Mr. Faries has been employed by the State to lay out and superintend the construc tion of a new track to avoid the inclined planes. This new track has been making considerable progress. It will be a very important Stats im provement. It will ultimately be a great sav ing to the Str.te. It ought to be pushed to a speedy completion. These inclined planes are not only expensive, but tedious and dangerous. Mr. Faries remarked that he had been em ployed in engineering at one point and another through the State for twenty-six years. Dur ing a considerable portion of this time, lie has been in the service of the State. We once heard his father, who is a resident of your city, say that he had sent his son Rob ert out with hi3 scale and compass, to work Lis way. Tbey have worked well. They have ear ned for their owner a reputation as a faithful, efficient and successful engineer. They have done much for the State in marking out her ca nal nn railway courses.

Fierce. iTot long since the Washington Republic, the Whig Central organ for the United States, pub lished a speech "which it had the presumption to assert had been delivered by Gen. Pierce, at the wn of New Boston, in January last ; by which it was attempted to te proven that Gen. Pierce was an abolitionist. Mr De Leon, of the South ern Press, wrote to Gen. Pierce enquiring into the truth of the matter, to which letter he made the following reply. The letter -of Gen. Pierce effectually disposes of this faul slander of the Whig press, and he brands the alleged report of li'i speech as an absurd calumny and falsification. We need hardly call the attention of our readers to the conclusive terms of the letter, or to the entire frankness and directness of its whole tone and character. The man that writes such a letter is worthy of being the next President cf tho United States. In comparison with any let ter ever written by Gen. Scott it will bear of the palm, and is conclusive e Idence, of itself, that Gen. Pierce is the more accurate writer and !:oker : Concord, N. II., July 23, 1852. My Dear Sir: Sru-ounded by pressing en gagements, I seize the earliest opportunity to reply to your letter cf the 17th instant I much a . . - a i ! ii. i r : -j :i mat anyming nonnecieu wnu uiyaen d have been the cause of disagreement be tween you and gentlemen with whom you have been associated in the editorial department of the Southern Press. I do not remember ever to have seen what purports to be a report of a speech de'ivered by me at New Boston, in this State, in January last, until my attention was called to it as republished in the Republic. The pretenued report is, and I presume was designed to be, an entire mis-representation. It is not merely untruthful, but is so grossly and absurd ity false as to render, in this vicinity, any denial uf its authenticity entire unnecessary. The two papers quoted the Independent Democrct, published in this place, and the Democrat pub lishad in Manchester are thoroughly abolition journals ; and have been and are zealously op posed to the Democratic party. For a long time prior to the meeting at New Boston, and ever since, they have been unsparing in their attacks upon me personal'y, and in their bitter denun ciation of what they have been pleased to term my pro-tlavery sentiments. But it would be omething new for either of these papers to de- ay the consistency of my opinions upon the subject of the constitutional rights of the South in relation to slavery. My opinions and the avow al of them have been ery where the same. Ever mindful of the difficulties and dancers which so long brooded over the assemblage of wise men and pure patriots to whose spirit of concession and earnest efforts we are indebted for the Constitution under which we haveeniov- - ied 6uch signal prosperity, advancement, and rli T i happiness, I have regarded the subject as too vi- ir'i and delicate to be used as an element of sec- i.'iial appeal in party conflicts. My action and my language iu New Ilamp shire touching this matter, have been at all times and under all circumstances, in entire accor dance with my action and language at Washing- on. My votes in the Senate and House of Rep resentatives were not republished iu the Era for the first time. They have been again and again paraded to arouse the passions and prejudices of our people against me individually, and a gainst the party with which it has been my pride and pleasure to act. There has been no attempt to evade the force of the record. It has been at all times admitted, and my position sustained upon grounds satisfactory to my own mind. I am not surprised to know that the attempt to prove me an abolitionist provokes much merri ment among men of all parties here ; and this weak and untruthful sketch of what purports to be my speech, is really too ridiculous to be considered in any serious light. I am in the daily receipt of letters, propound mg the greatest variety of curious questions, -11 : VI - V ' i -r .... upuu uu vuiiceuuuie euojecis. Letters OI this character cannot be answered, of course. No individual could command either the time or strergth the herculean task would require may add, that such a correspondence would by no means comport with my views of duty. The Democratic party sent its delegates to Baltimore not alone to nominate candidates, but to reaf. firm principles, and to present the leading issues I upon which the canvass should be conducted If I could deem myself capable of improving the platform there adopted, it is quite certain 'at I should decline, either at the call of indi vlduals or associations, to incur the charge of arrogance to which any attempt to alter, amend r enlarge it, would inevitably subject me. Your letter is of an entirely different charac ter. It seeks truth in relation to an alleged fact ; it speaks of history, to which too search- ng an appeal cannot be made. I appreciate he estimate you seem to have of my character for directness ; and beg you to accept my thanks for your efforts to vindicate my claim to that trait, at least, before the public, I am, with h'gh esteem your most obedient servant, FRANK.

What im Said or us Abroad. In the Pittsburgh Daily Union, of August 19th, we find the following beautiful written ed itorial, in reference to a visit to the mountains, lately made by persons connected with that pa per. It is peculiarly gratifying that those at a distance write so enchantingly concerning our "Mountain Home," and were proper accemm dations afforded to all those desirous of Jemain- ing on the eminence which o'erlooks th dark, blue mountains," we ' have no doubt b it that hundreds of visitors would arrive here every season and fully establish the reputation of the spot as a famous "Watering-Place." THE MOUNTAINS. "A Visit to the mountains in summer, is sure to be attended with delight. To the one who, for long months, has been confined to the wear isome routine of affairs in the city whose mind has been revolving in the mere circle of busi ness, and who, at night, scarce thinks of look ing up at the stars to such a one, nothing can be more pleasurable than an excursion to the mountains. Go to the Summit of th,e AUeghe nies, if you wish to enjoy the grandeur of Amer- c in scenery. Leave behind you the din of drays, coaches, and steam-engines, and look at the moon rising over the tops of the pine-fsr- est : Listen, amid the awful soLtudes of the mountains, to the low, mysteriousmusic which the night breeze creates and to the solemn whisperings of the dim old trees and awe will creep over your heart, and the voice of warning, coming from the Infinite, will steal into your soul! Ye denizens of the busy city, whose hearts are carroding in the search of wealth, go up the steps that lead to Nature's highest altar ! As cend the forest-crowned hills, and learn, after the example of one of ancient days, that man "in the bush with his God may meet." Never shall we forget the uprising of the fu1! harvest-moon, as witnessed recently by us from the road leading from the Summit of the "Alle- ghenies to the village of Ebensburg. Twi'ht was siH-cccdod by the stars, swimnrng 'n the :.zur. sea above, 1'ke luminous isles. Shadows had crept over the forests, and low wild music sweeter by far than the softest notes mof finger-touched harp came up from the darkened valleys and the dim gorges. The cypresses nodded their heads like phantoms. The mists, white as bridal veils, were beginning to gather on the hi-tops, and to nestle above the gurgling streams. Silence almost profound was upon all tlr lgs save when occasionally there came to the ear the plaintive baying of a distant hound still eager on the scent, or the mournful tinkling of a bell from the rude pastures. The voices of our companions became impel ceptibly softened and attuned, so as to harmonize with the scene Then came the silvery moon, up through the far off tree-tops, bright, full, resplendent queen of the starry hosts and of tho awful solitudes ! Oftan on the ocean, and around the isles of the Caribbean sea, and on the Mexican gulf, have we looked upon the rising moon ; but ne ver before attended with so much sublimity, or with such a sense of the holy and the beautiful stealling over and thrilling the heart. A ride by moonlight over a mountain road, in the month of August, with sweet comparers aud cooling breezes ! Which do you prefer, merry blue eyes, or lustrous dark ones ? And a song, as you loved in boyhood's days, would you not love it on such a right and amidst such a scenery ? Along the road to the p;ne-embowerrd village Sweetly does it smile upon us after long years of absence years which to us havo brought some joys and many sorrows. Lights gleam from the w indows, aud snowy handkerchiefs are waving from the porches ! Friends are expec ting us deur and cherished friends, whose gen erous hearts and hnd hesp itai;tles we can never forget." "BE JUST, AND FEAR NOT." The following article we find in the Bedford Gazette, of August 20th, and recognize it as a complete vindication of the course of the editor upon the subject referred to, as well as a timely rebuke to those democratic papers in the State, that see so much wrong committed when a jour nalist of the party takes a position in which he will be sustained by all men, whose hearts are not tainted with corruption. The Sentinel hav ing endorsed the Gazztlc's position on the same subject some weeks ao, is wil'ing to endorse the subjoined article, being fully satisfied that the course pursued by Gen. Bowman 13 right, ai every candid, leflecting mind will so acknowl edge. But, to the extract : Tne Ptnngylranlan. TV3I. SEARIGIIT. The name of this time-honored organ of the Democratic party has often appeared to head and grace our columns. To-day we placo it in its old position, and our object is to ask the attention of the Democratic Party to the following editorial article which appeared in that paper of Friday the 13th in stant : 'The followirg despatch, received from Brownsville, Fayette co., last eveninsr, contains the melancholy intelligence of the death of Wm. Seakight, the Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. As cn honest, Snriffht citizen r.s a man who enjoyed among Lis friends a reputation unsurpassed, he had co equals. It will be hr.rd to replace his loss, and the blood hounds, here and elsewhere, who have hunted him to the grave, we trust will have manlfness enough to cen se their bitter vituperation." Mr. Searight is in his grave, and, so far as we are concerned, shall sleep with his memory un disturbed, except it may be to speak of his vir tues. But we have something to do with tre lhlng. That the Bedford Gazette was alluded to in the foregoing article we are well assured, for many reasons, and reply just as plainly as if we had been refeired to by name. In our paper of July 30th we first announced that charges of a serious and destrnctive char acter were made aga-'nst the Democratic Candi date for the office of Canal Commissioner. We stated that a letter containing self confessions of infamy had been for two weeks in print, which etier was published by Hugh. Grahua "said to be a respectable citizen of Fayette county, and a Democrat." This letter Graham charged to be written and signed by the Democratic Candi date. We also said that with the exception of a general denial from "the Pennsylvanian" we had seen no contradiction in any Democratic paper in the State. And went on to remark, "all is suspense, and all seem to be waiting for some thing conclusive from Mr. Searight himself." We never once assumed that the charge was true, but we demanded, as was our duty, that we should have both light and truth. Indeed we took good care to speak in direct terms of the infamous skill Whiggery possessed in manu facturing slauders against Democrats, and de nounced their declarations as entitled to no cred it. But we said the tact charged was too point ed not to require and demand unqualified refuta tion. That fact was the letter. Did the candi date write tho letter or did he not write it ? We went so far as to suggest several ways by which the charge could be met and triumphant ly refuted. Did this look like hunting one to the grave with the spirit of "bloodhounds ?" When our article was published, we had not the slightest knowledge of Mr. Searight's Plness, d we acted from no other motive than to sec the skirts of the Democratic PrTty clear of rll dishonor. But his Alness could not, or ought not, to have prevented a refutation of the charge. For there was but one simple fact to be ascertained, and that was, did he write the letter ? The let ter was in Fayette County where he lived and done business for twenty years ; how easy for responsible men to examine and pronounce it a forgery, if it was one, ?o that tie iufamous charge might reco;l upon the fiend who made it. Then we and al' good Democrats could have said, with a glad heart, this affa is cleared up. j Let the people rise in a body and rebuke tl.;s! base slander. A sain, in ov prer of 6i .i.-.lunt, we allad.d to the unpleasant affair, and repealed our con viction that it had to be met. Not as some De mocratic Papers were attempting to meet it, by palliating and hiding the enormity of the letter, no matter who v rote it. That was uot meeting, but dodging the only questions of any cancel u did he or did lie not write the letter ? So anxious were we for a favorable issue, we re marked, "If the Convention which assembles in Ht-rrisburg cu the 26th instant, can satisfy themselves and the Democracy of the State that letter is a forgery, ALL WILL BE RIGHT." Still farther. Iu our paper of the loth in stant, our last paper, we published the letter as it at first appeared in Fayette County, and as it stood uncontradicted for two whole weeks in the one only important item was it genuiue or counterfeit and even then expressed no con viction that it was true as charged, but only asked for a specific denial, that we might mee the common enemy in manly fight, aud face to face. The testimony at th's date seemed to con flict. A denial would have made an issue (as the Lawyers eay) and then we could have defied the accuser to make good his infamous charge. Wag it better to pronounce it ?n in loose and vagrant terms a Whig lie, when the paper was before the public and thus suppress investiga tion until the meeting and dissolution of the State Convention. Suppo.se this to have been done. The Convention adjourns wlthiu six weeks of the election. No issue on the main fact has been made. Trobably, at least possibly, the aecuser makes good his charge, to wit, that the letter is genuine, where, then, is the candidate ; where is the Democratic Tarty T We will an swer the politcal instructor of thePcnnpylvanian. Compelled either to de'eml the letter as it stood with its b'istcred face in the front of every newspaper, or, scattered in hopeless confusion, begin the battle not knowing what to do. Pieece and K:ni would have had a fine t;mo in November picking up the dismembered frag ments of the Democratic Party ! We belong to that party, and cling to it3 us,' - gcs. One usage held sacred is that the nomi nee should be supported. Hence when this dreadful disclosure took place, we were anxions to hear what the body which gave us the candi date should say as to continu?ng Irm the candi date. He has since died, and personal unkindness towards him, living or dead, we protest we have never felt. But, when that which was the organ of the party assumes to denounce the perfoi .nance of the party assumes to denounce the performance Of a duty as the act of a "blood hound hnnt'ng a man to his grave," we wi" endeavor to let h'm know that he is not absolute. The Democracy of Pennsylvania derive their instruction from the teachings of Thomas Jef fkuson, and his rale w?.s "is he honest, is he capable." No empty requisition. The present Editor of the Pennsylvanian is hardly mcrginc cither in politics or position, and should learn something of the heart and the interior before he gives general direction. The money power is against us, themanufacturin,rpowerisaTairst us, most of the commercial power is against us, and we have nothing to depend upon but our in tegtity. By that integrity, with no presumption, we trust, but humbly, we have endeavoured to stand. Since our new instructor h3 given us a first lesson in duty, we will make free to turn on him and call his attention to experience, be cause we are not fit to teach. Cardinal Wolsey went for nenry the Eighth right or wrong. His devotion was so deep that our shallow Pennsylvanian ver could never have came near him in baseness. Wolsey fell and was dishonored because of his subserviency. He asked men around him to mark his fall, and gave as his last Counsel "Corruption wins not more than honesty. Be fust end fear not. Let aM the ends thou aim'st at be thy count's, God's, and truth's." The Pennsylvanian in the days of Johw W. Fobxet was great. Whtn the Democratic Par ty of the Stf te had to fight the spirit of faction, foremost in battle was the Pennsylvanian. Dig nity, intellect, courage, integrity cad CTery sev- eral virtue vrhich should adorn the place he fil led, were found not wanting. Silly reports of the Scott legion in Southwark, Indecently put upon paper, take the p'ace of that which we were used to of old, Sensible, judi cious, instructive, and agreeable preparations, fit for the appetite of a man's mind !

To exhibit the dissatisfaction in the rank3 o the Whig party of Massachusetts, it is but ne cessary to publish the proceedings of a large and" enthusiastic meeting held at Boston on Tuesday evening, Aug. 17lh, at which the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That notwithstanding the action'of the late Baltimore Convention, we do not relin quish our attachment to the Creat Defender of Uie Constitution, or our conviction that the in terests of the country demand h's election to the Picsidency. Resolved, That measures ought to be taken forthwith, for the nomination of a Webster Elec. toial Ticket in Massachusetts, in order that the people may rally to the support of their great statcsmru, and give him the electoral vote of the state. Resolved, That the rejection of Mr. Webster by the wh'g national convention, ought to teach the people the necessity of doing their own work, without the intervention of agents or del gates, who Kill be -. Tj the interests of the country to subserve tluir own : and being determined that this lesson sha1' not be lost we hereby pledge our concurrence and co-opperation in any public movement that may be made, by which the peo ple of Massachusetts may be enabled to cast their votes for Dai 'el Webster. A Committee was also appo:nted to make ar rangements for a Webster Electoral Ticket. We th'nk a few such resolutions as the above will raie a Tcmcuduus "fire in the rear" of Gca. Scott's pretentious to the President", while the Democracy are gaing the Whig party an overwhelming "fire in the front." The game is up with the Whigs, and they can see no possible chance for elevating their "mere miliary candi date" to the highest office wMiia he girt of he people. In Geogia, as well as in other Southeu States the Whigs intend to rrn Webster whether he 'stands the fire" or not, as will be seen by the following proceeding of a Webster State Con vention. WeM may the Whigs exclaim, , 'There's treason " i the Camp." To our mind it seems as if the Whig party, about December next, -will be numbered among the things :at were.- Read the following: Webster Convention. Macox, Ga., August 20. The Convention of the friends of Webster re assembled yesterday morning. A special com mittee reported that the effort to harmonize with t!ie Convention of the friends of Scott, now in session here, had failed, and recommended the . omination of a candidate, the adoption of the whig platform, and an electoral ticket. The Committee also reported in favor of supporting Daniel Webster for President and Mr. JenV'ns for Vice President, which received the unanimous approval of the Convention. Au execuliue Com mittee was appointed, after which 'he Conven. tlon adjourned finay. Scott's Native Letter. The Ohio Statesman, in commenting upon this letter, has tho following severe exposure of its statements : "In the first place, Gen. Scott charges a base falsehood on the foreguers. They never started the "baj.ltixg" cry, "Down wiih the natives." There is not a word of truth in it. This cry was instigated by the ruth'ess and wicked act3 of the natives themselves, and American lorn as w ell as foreign born citizens united in the cry. Down with such principles, and the men advoc: -eating them. "Secondly, General Scott and two others "so' uown ai Uie actor house," "n my parlor," to rally an "Amebicav pabtv." This was done to fight Mr. Van Euren, but Harrison's election secured the natives a brief triumph. We r-e rendering into English Scott's words, as we un derstand them. "Thirdly, Cen. Scott was for extending the period for naturalization; afterwards he inclin ed to a total repeal of all laws on that subject, thus cutting foreigners off from ever becom'ng citizens. "Fourthly, Gen. Scott fci.lt concurred in the TEixciri.Es' of the 'Philadelphia movement.' The Philadelphia movement was the one that resulted in murdering Irishmen and burning churches and libraries. "Fifthly, Gen Scott did not wish the war a gainst foreigners to be confined to one religious sect alone, but all foreigners, of every grade, condition, and religion, were to come rder b: anathemas. "Sixthlg, ne wished the great work of na- tivism success, and dubbed the co-workers in the infamy 'patriots,' and then reposed on the honors he had thus achieved. "This is truly the most extraordinary letter we ever saw coming from a man aspiring to the presidency. It would be a disgrace to th dark est ages of the world, when man fought man simply because he was boin in a different clime from himself when rivers aud mountains were enemies of men because tbey separated them." A New Hampshire Whig. A Democratic ex change says : There are affinities 'n principles as well as in matter ; hence it was perfectly na tural that A. F. Stevens, who labored and spoke at public meetings in New Hampshire, in favor of retaining the Religious Test in the con stitution of that State, should be sent to the Whig National Convention to vote for Winfield Scott, the Whig nativist, who was in favor of a bolishing all laws in regard to naturalization. . and who says he is now in favor of a law, where by at most, only one in twenty of those who flee to our shores from foreign oppression, would be allowed to become citizens. Such are the ne cessities character of Whiggery and its candi date, that it inevitably inflicts injustice on some class. POLITICAt, SQ.TJIBS. Significant.
