We Lave often been surprised at the fiend like malignity, with which the enemies of the illustrious statesman whose name heads this article, have been endeavoring to hunt Liui down since bo took bis scat as a member of the United States Senate. He has been ulandered, misrepresented, and every means that malice ceuld invent resorted to, in the vain hopo of placing hini in an unfavorable or ridiculous position before his constituents and the country. ' Speeches delivered by him in the United States Senate which would do bonor to the first statesmen of the age, have been pronounced weak and trashy little bet ter than mere twaddle. For faithfully sus taining the National Administratihu, be has been denounced as a Northern doughface, and Hale, of New Hampshire, a short time since replied to few brief and pertinent re marks which ho recently delivered on a ques tion of but little importance, in a piece of low billingsgate, unworthy of the dignity of the United States Senate. It is not at all surprising to find the opposition making mer ry over the idaug of the Abolition Dema gogue, and bogus Democrat joining in the laugh. If Senator Bigler had betrayed the eonfidenco reposed in bim by the Democracy of Pennsylvania, if he bad joined th criuade against the National Administration, be would have been recognized by Greely, Hale, Seward, & Co., as a joung statesman of much promise -an honest man and pure patriot.. It id not in the power of Senator Bigler's enemies to drag bim down from the exalted position he now occupies. His record as a publio man is spotless. He has been the ar chitect of his own fortune, and is a remarka ble instance of what honesty, energy and tal ent can accomplish, under the most discoura ging circumstances. Commencing his career iu life as a poor printer boj, be has, by his own unaided exertions, placed himself in the front rank of Amcricau statesmeu, and cora mndn the unlimited confidence of. the true Democracy of his native State. It is not for us to conjecturo what the fu ture has in store for Mr. Bigler ; but of one thing we are certain as long as he perse veres in the couse ho is now pursuing, ho will continue to 'occupy ap exalted place in tho csUem of the Democracy of his native State, and the poisoned shafts of his enemies will fall harmless at his feet. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH- We perceive by our exchanges that next Saturday will be observed in almost every section of the country, as the anniversary of our National Independence. As we have al ready informed our readers, a celebration will be beld at the grounds of the Cambria County Agricultural Society, in the vicinity of this place, on that day. From the extensive prep arations now in progress for the celebration, we feel well assured that it will be an honor to our town, and fully r;alize the brightest expectations of those who attend. Dinner will be served at one o'clock. When we state that tbis Department is under the exclusive supervision of tho Lad it t, we feel confident that those of our readers who are disciples of Ejncurui will attend without fail. An abun dant supply of all the luxuries and substan tial.1 of the season will be provided, so that none will be "sent hungry away." .The services of two brass bands have already been secured for the occasion. An oration will be delivered bj Hon. John S. Rfiey, of this place, ' His well established reputation as a cloir.logical and eloquent speaker, will of Itself, be sufficient to attract a large audience. Amusements of various kinds will be introdu ced during the afternoon, including a Trotting Match, Fox Hunt, Cotillion Party, &c. A plendid now Saddle and Bridle are offered as a prise for the fasteet trotting nag. A tplcndid display of Fireworks will take place iu the evening. Messrs. John A, Blah & Co have generously reduced the Hack fare from Jefferson to Ebensuurg, and return trip, to half price- We have also been informed that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will issue Fourth of July excursion tickets from all. the stations on their road. Come one, come" all Oar Relations with Great Britain. .For some time past, serious. apprehensions were entertained, that the .difficulties growing out of the boarding, searching and detention of American vessels by British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico, would result in a- war be tween the two countries. The result, how ever, shows that these fears were groundless. The Uritish Government has promptly dis avowed the acts of its Naval Officers, The views of the Government of the Uuited States with regard to the right of visit and search, are briefly and pointedly set forth in the fol lowing extract, from a letter recently addres sed by General Cass, to Lord Napier. Ave clip from the Pittsburg 'Union' of yesterday: "The President of the United States, m his annual message to Congress, in December, 1841, denounced this pretension to detain and examine American vessels as an interpo lation into the maritime code of the world to which the United States would not ' submit. The years which have passed since this au thorative declaration, marked as they have been by repeated remonstrances against these aggressions, while they have added notbiog to tho strength of tbe claim, have served but to confirm the government m their detcrniin tion to oppose it. No change of name can change the illegal character of the assump tion. Search or visit, it is equally an assault upon tho independence of nations." The correctness of the principle laid down by General Cass, as embodied in the above extract, is recognized and acknowledged by the British Governments, so that in all pro bability, we will never again hear of the "right of search question." Johnny Hull ev idently does not at present, cntertaiu the slightest desire to lock horns with brother Johnathan. for What are they contending? The efforts which are now being made to unite every faction iu the State in opposition to the Democratic Party, at the approaching general election, ore not calculated to excite the surprise of any ODe who is familiar with the history of political parties in this country. For more than half a century, the Democratic Party has been contending and battling with an opposition composed of factious frequently upholding views apparently as far asuuder as heaven is from earth, and held to gether only by the adhesive power of plun der. In 1S56, Millard Fillmore, tho Know Nothing candidate for President, declared in a speech which he delivered at Albany, New York, that the Black Republican party was sectional in its principles and objects, and that its principles, if carrici out in tho ad ministration of the government, would, in a short time, accomplish tbe dissolution of tbe Union. But notwithstanding all this, wo now find Know Nothings and Black Re publicans the followers of Fillmore and Fremont rallying around a common stand ard, for the purpose of defeating the Demo cratic Party. What is their object in pursu ing this course, - and for what are they con tending ? The past history of the opposition to the Democratic Party affords a perfectly conclusive and satisfactory answer. They wish to obtain tbe helm of State, not for the purpose of administering the government on equitable, national and patriotic principles, but for the purpose of tasting tho sweets of power an J securing the spoils of office. We ! clip from ono of cur exchanges the following sensible observations ou this subject : "These continual chauges this being on ly the fourth programme for the fall cam paign sufficiently show what are the real motives of this hybrid opposition, and to what shifts they are prepared to resort to in order to secure success. It is manifest that these constant unions that are being patched ip, aro not based upon principle, but upon the sjyoils t What hope can the country, or our noble old Commonwealth, have of a success ful and honorable administration of its af fairs, in the incumbency of a set of men who have no system of State or National policy to propose,. but who seek simply to obtain office at any sacrifice of principle ? The success of such men, whose sole aim is not the benefit of the people, but private iutercst, must nec essarily result- in the Introduction into our State adrainistaation of the same terrible cor ruption which has disgraced those of other States' Are the good people of the Common wealth prepared to introduce here the Wis consin system, as developed under Republi can misrule? We think they will natui ally prefer the honest, 6traight-forward Demo cratic mode they bavo been long accustomed to, and which has so honored and dignified the Commonwealth abroad. Dispatches for Lord Napier New York, June 2G. Lieut. Davis of the British flag ship India, who arjjjcd in this city yesterday, with dispatches from ad miral Stuart, for Lord Napier, proceeded im mediately to Washington. He reports that the steadier Devastation, which bad been dis patched with peremptory orders to the Styx and Buzzard, not to overhaul any more Amer ican vessels, had returned to Bermuda, and reports having fallen in with those vessels, and delivered the Orders to their commanders Execution of James Powers. Wasiungtox, June 26. Notwithstanding the efforts made to induce the President to commute tbe sentence of James, be was, to day, hanged for the murder of which be was convicted.

The Spider and the Fiy-: A correspondent of the Trenton True Am erican, in commenting upon the well known line, "will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly," sends that paper the fol lowing. It contains hints which will apply to other States as well as New Jersey : "Although the secret circular recently is sued by the Black Republican State Execu tive Committee of New Jersey is in itself an exceedingly silly concoction, aud proves a total lack of sagacity in the leaders who as sume to direct that organization; still, it dis closes some features that can be profitably studied by Auti-Lecompton Democrats. In the first place it may be observed that while the Republicans talk about 'Opposition par ty,' and 'People's party,' as a convenient trap into which certain Djniocrats are invited to walk, they still secretly keep up their dis tinct anti-slavery organization, with tho in tention of making it tho controlling cleiueut in the 'Union' movement, and the Que into which all the others must finally be absorbed. The names which figure in that circular as officers and directors of this underhand move ment, belong to well-known life-long enemies of the men and measures of the Democratic party. This fact is of itself of sufficient sig nificance to warn every man of Democratic iastincts, and of Democratic convictions, against takiug a step which can only lead him into tbe camp of his enemies, and com pel him practically to repudiate his long cher lsued principles. Aumittmg that the Kan sas policy or the Administration is wrong on a single point of principle, does that afford to any honest Democrat justifiable grounds for traternizing with a political organization which is in radical antagonism to every prin ciple of the great Democratic party ? Cau sucu ayeel-in-tue-wool nunker teueransts as Samuel G. Gummere, John J. Chetwood, Philip J. Gray, James T. Sherman, and Thomas II. Dudley, lead into the Black Re publican fold a single honest adherent to the inflexible principles of a Jefferson or a Jack- son : "One of the queries of this secret circular is : ' ill the Americans and Anti-Lecomp ton Democrats of your county unite with the Republicans in their next nominations : Here we see that - the Republicans are still held up as the absorbing element of the 'op position,' and Anti-Lecompton Democrats are invited to come in, as inferior associates, to the entertainment prepared for them by Know Nothings and Abolitionists Every honest and intelligent Anti-Lecompton Democrat in the State will at once repel so infamous and degrading a proposition. The short-sighted 'Republican State Executive Cojimittee' have made an unaccountable blunder at the outset of the campaign, and have protruded the cloven foot so palpably that none can mistake "the beast to which it belongs. Vainly ' , tho fowler sets his snare in sight of the' bird " Jt3r"Amoo the resolutions rejected by the Connecticut Legislature last week, was one for the release from "State Prison of one Swayne, who had been sentenced for ten years.

The late Legislature of Massachusetts, says the Ledger, in its proceedings, gave evidence of having grown juoro rational in its notions than-was her wont in years past, and even more radical than some making louder pretensions to tariff and bank reform. One of the committees in that body recently came out in favor of abolishing all laws for the .collection of debts, and advanced much sound reasoning in favor of the project. Another committee, in the bam e body, about the same time, brought forward aa argument of much force growing out of the connection of the currency with the tariff. The General "Government has established a eastern of pro tection more or less stringent and effective; but the States have undone all the benefits of such legislation by the extravagance of their inflations of currency, The web of protec tion that has been woven by the law inakera at Washington in the day, has been unravel led in the night by the law makers in the States. On this point the report says: "The national government has established the system or policy of a low tariff of for eign import?, with a currency consisting wholly of the precious metals. The different State Governments have no control over the tariff of duties, but they have generally ex ercised the power of creating a currency of paper money, by chartering nearly fifteen hundred banks, with authority to issue notes to circulate as money, practically to an un limited extent. The tariff and currency are kindred subjects, which act and re-act upon each other; and no financial system, in any country, can be successful, which does not combine them and cause them to work in harmony " "A fow tariff, with an expanded currency of paper money, increases the cost of manu facturing and exposes the manufacturers to an unequal competition with the products of foreign labor under a more restricted and sounder currencv. An excessive paper cur rency is at all times unsound and unsafe; in connection with a low tariff of duties, it is exceedingly detrimental to tho success of manufacturing and producing classes. It is at war with our various industrial pursuits and vocations; it opposes their prosperity by generating fictitious values of property; aud in spite of the skill and application so credit able to our manufacturers, it secures the ad vantage, even in our own markets, to much of the competing labor and product of Eu rope." "In time of peace and uninterrupted com merce, the benefits of the high prices arising from an expanded paper currency cannot be .secured to the industry of our own commu nity without the protection of a high tariff of duties: and. as such a tariff cannot now be had, it is obviously for the interest of New England with so large a proportion of her population dependent on industrial and man ufacturing pursuits, that the currency should be regulated by restricting it, so as to bring it nearer in value to the currencies af those countries tehich are now our great competitors for the supply of what is consumed by our own pcple. 'What do wo gain by tbe additions to the currency in tue iorm oi nans: notes, wuen California is furnishing an ample supply oi the precious metals for currency, it the coun try will not make use of it? Why should the people of New Euglaod encourage the use of bank notes for currency and lorce the precious metal to be sent abroad, to be exchanged for foreign merchandize, at the very time when they need protection for their free labor en gaged in manufacturing employments, against the immense import ot the products oi lor- eigu labor received iu exchange for the ex ports of cotton, tobacco and breadstuff's pro duced by the servile labor of more genial cli mates aud more fertile sous There is much truth in these views of the Massachusetts Committee, and we are pleased to see that in that manufacturing Slate, the people are becoming awake to the disastrous iuflueucc of the Paper Banking System upon the labor and industry of our couutiy. I'ol iticians may talk about Tariffs for the protec tion ot American interests, but all iariii Legislation is vain, so long as Banks are per mitted to fill to overflowing all the channels of trade, with paper promises to pay, and thus drive out of circulation and out of the country, the only true and reliable currency, that of th Constitution, for which Jackson contended, and which the interests of cv.r people and the prosperity of our country re quire Ehould be greatly enlarged gold and silver. Jjancaster intelligencer. British Exploration of the Niger. The Nipcr, flowing for more than three thouvand miles, first through the heart of the 'old region, -and then through one of the finest agricultural regions in the world, must become the highway for a vast trade. Acting upon this conviction, a prospectus was re cently issued by the Central Africa Company at London, an unndertaking formed to carry out, under a subsidy trom tho lntiau gov ernment, a contract for the exploration of the Niger and its tributaries in steamers of light draught, the fstabliihmeut of factories, and the development of trade with the interior of that continent, J he capital is JLIUU.UUU, in JCIO shares Trading operations have al- ready commenced at three factories between tue moutu oi me iitrer anu lis uuion wiiu and its the Chadda. It will be remembered that the pioneer vessel of this enterprise, the Day spring, was lost last year in the Niger near Rabba, a point about seven hundred miles trom the sea by the meanderiegs of the river. The party were still encamped uDder that place as late as the 31st of March last, all iu the enjoy ment of good health. The steamer Sunbeam, which was sent to the rescue, and to enable them to continue the exploration, was at the Quorra entrance of the Niger on 'the 221 of April, waiting for water to ascend. Another interesting feature in this under taking, is tho successful launch at Liverpool on the 26th ult., of a new paddle steamer named the Iiainboro. She is stated to be 127 feet long, with a beam of 16 feet is 160 tons burthen, and draws 4 feet of water. Her encine is 50 horse pewer. She is built of steel plates, being the first vessel of so I large a size constructed of this newly applied material, and is divided into twelve compart ments, placed so as to add to her strength and safety in case of accident.

Mrs. Caroline C. Strauburg, wife of P. P. Stranburg, of this city, ,waS a passenger on the Pennsylvania, which was burned to the water's edge in the Mississippi, sixty miles below Memphis, on Sunday morning, 12th instant. Mrs. S left her berth just before the explosion look place ; and when she heard .the report, which shook every piece of timber in the boat, she caught hold of her. little child, which was only - two months' old, and rushed into the ladies' cabin !at the very moiutnt that a large piece of machinery came rushing through the floor. She ran to tho captain's room and told bim that the boat was on fire, but be said she was mistaken, and advised her to be calm. She said she was not mista ken, and her manner was so earnest that the oaptain thinking she might be correct, went down to tbe boiler deck. He returned in a short time, and remarked to Mrs S., "There is no danger now the fire has been subdued." Mrs. S., however, would not be convinced, bhe insisted that the boat was in flames, and told the captain to make preparations for sa- ak I vmg he passengers. As she finished sneak ing, the flames broke through the cabiu floor aud m less than a minute the cabin was filled with f-moke. She saw that the time for ac tion bad arrived, and she knew that her life and that of her child depended upon her own exertions; so sho went down the private stair case, and was fortunate enough to reach the boiler deck iu safety Knowing that bhc would perish by fire, if she staid on the boat, she determined to leave it, and run the risk of meeting her death by another method. She accordingly seized a board about seven feet long and eight or ten inches wide, and grasping her child with one arm and the board with the other, plunged into the river. The current, owing to the high stage of water, was very rapid, and Mrs. S, had as much as the could do to keep herself and child above the surface; but she proved equal to the dangerous situation in which she was placed, and her perilous journey down tbe river would not have been attended with half the danger that it was, if her unselfish heait had not prompted her to save a man who was unable to save himself. A fhort time afier leaving the boat, she saw a man struggling in the water, aud she knew froui his move ments that be was too much exhausted to save himself from going to the bottom; 60 she gen erously and nobly jeopardized her life to save his; she grasped his arm, at the risk of being pulled from her frail -support, and assisted him in getting upon a little j Lcs of plank that was hardly sufficient to keep herself and child cbove the surface of the Father of Waters. After floating for an bcur and a half, the three were rescued by some men. who, hav ing heard the explosion, launched a small boat, and started up stream to render assis tance to the unfortunate sufferers. When the man who was rescued by Mrs. Stranberg placed his feet in the boat.be tried to express the gratitude which he felt for his preserver ; but his heart wrs so full of thankfulness that his tongue refused to give utterance to his grateful feeling. Mrs. Stranburg left this city abont three months ago, and went to Clinton, Miss., her birth-place, where her parents reside. She took passage on the Penn syhania, at Vicksburg, and wan fortunate enough to arrive at her own -hou.e in hc city on Monday evening.
