The Constitution of the United tftates was founded on compromise j of sectional fei li rgs, interests and opinions. Tho illustrious patriots nd statvsmen w ho framed that instrument knew well the necessity of cue section of the country yielding and conceding something to the other in enter to form a perfect Uuion, and Becuie for them-selvea and their posterity the blessings of liberty and a good government. If they had allowed the spirit cf sectionalism to triumph over the tpirit of Nationality, if they had allowed lo cal prejudice instead of conservative, liberal and nlighteLcd views to control thorn, the United States, iutftead of being ag sho now is the "migh tiest of Earth's nations," would be nothing but a collection of petty States, incapable of repelling either iuvrwion from without or quelling insur rection within their limit. A great states man Ins truly paid that the Constitution is tho "cement e-f the Uuion." It is designed to pro ct the right, of tho ritins of the whole coun try, acd not of any particular State or section, It afiords the sarxc proiectiou to the American it':Ben- ou toe shores ef the Pacific as to him who pee tit "Atlantic wave his morn restore;" to th dweller andd the tverglades of Florida as to fc hardy pioneer of tho forests cf Maine. To strengthen th Union and oppose tl e spirit i f sectionalism h been th mis- ion cf the Dem ocratic party, from the adoj tion of the Constitu tor! up to the present time, And it has thus tar proved itself to be eminently 'worth v of tho exalted trust, We need go no fartlicr back for proof of tkis than th memorable cor test of 1856, when the Democracy, after a fierce struggle, tri umphed over the Black Republican party an fg-MuzatR-n avowedly sectional in its principles and object., an4 which did not ask for or expect any support south cf Mason aud Dixon's line. The doct-iije of popular sovereignty the right of fe people of the Territories ro regulate their do mestic insUtntions ia their own wv was then fully vindicated and tustained by the American People. This was a cvere blow to the sectional party with which the Democracy had so long been contending. But its members did not aban don the contest in despair. They are still active in their efforts to undermine tho pillars which nphold the Republic; they 6till contend that it is the right and the duty ef Congress to excludtrHlifiOrgauize the party, by offering himself livery from the territories,and that consequently volunteer candidate for Sheriff ' u ;,.v.i,i..,. ..f.v. ....... nni,uui,u,ij ut uie territories, instead oi being freeosn, are nothing better than tho mere prop erty of the Unitel States, and that the States which compose tho Union are not equal. Sam'., h. Blair is now the candidate of this eectional Anti-Uni'n party for Congress In this district lu a sptcch which h delivered hi this place a few wt-tks ago, ho openly declared that he was I mi';,- convince.! that the totrstltuti .m confer npon Congress sovereign power ever the territo ries ; that it is not only the right but the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territo ries, and that the doctrine of p pular sovereignty as promulgated and explained by the Democratic patty, is a humbug, ' The amount cf all this is, that Mr. Blair holds that the inhabitants of the Southern States have not the same rights under the Constitution as the ptople of the Northern States; -although the territories are the propeity of the whole country, they are to be closed for vcr against the inhabitants of a particular sec tion of the Union, while the inhabitants of another section arc invited to filter them and make them their homes. This is sectionalism in the full extent and meaning of the term, and no reasonable candid man will deny that the doc trine, if carried out, would dissolve the Union. It is difficult to conjecture what good Mr. Blair and his party txpect to follow the unceas ing agitat'en of th slavery question. Do they hold that the Union is no longer worth preser ving? If they do not, then they should at once abandon their sectional principles, and unite with tha Democracy in promoting the'welfare of the whole country, and in seeing that the Con stitution is administered In the enlightened and liberal spirit in which it wai framed. The peo ple of the Southern States ins'u t on nothing" that is unreasonable or unjust. They merely ask thai th solemn obligations of the Coustitution-which bind all th States of the Union with equal force, shall b respected, and that tbsir right shall not b trampled iu the dust. They wish to be re garded as the equals, not as the inferiors, of the North. It is Mnnenshftry fur us to ay anything with regard to the position Mr. Vershing occupies on the slavery question. Of eourse he stands on the Democratic platform, and endorses the doc trine of popular sovereignty. If elected, he will always aiui at uoing equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or pursuasion, relig ious or political, aud steadily oppose all mcasurts having a teudency to encourage the spirit of sec tionalism, or weaken the league of love which holds the Union together. Eyery 'true patriot, every friend oi the Union in the district should vote for hi'M, and thus prevent tlm election of Samuel S. Blair, th Black Republican Anti Union candidate. MR. PERSEINGON THE TARIFF. "I am, Iron) first to last, for that policy which is the interest of Peuusylvauia. I will, if elected to a seat in Congress, go for a re modelling of the Kepublic-au Tariff of 1557, and advocate such au adjustment of its pro visions as will yield more revenue, and at the came time afford grt ate r protection to our lr n and Coal interests." Extract from the spttch of Mr J'trthing, at the Democratic mtttntj in this place, on the lbth t?sr. j Tho above extract embodies iut only the sen timents uf Mr.; Pershing, but of the entire De mocracy of the district, with regard to the Tariff question. Mr. IYrbiug, if elected, will alwajs be at his post, laboring to promote the interests of his constituents. . llo stands pledged to use his best efforts to promote the Iron and Coal in terests cf Pennsylvania, and as he is a man of undoubted integrity, no voter in the district will doubt ihe sincnity of his intention to redeem that pledge if elected. The opposition press are con stantly prating about the "Taritf," "Protection to American Industry," "Pauper Labor," &c. 'I bis is till very well for claj trap, but we chal lenge thtm to prcve that Mr. Blair is a bet'er "Tarilf man" than Mr. Pershing. This Con gressional district is justly regarded & the "iron district" of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Pershing stands distinctly pledged to promote this great interest. Mr. Blair cannot give a more emphatic and satisfactory pledge ou this subject than that of Pershing contained in the above extract from his speech. Ihe existing Tariff, of which the opposition complain so Ion. lly.is Dot a Democratic measure, but was passed by a IJlack Republican Congress. As Mr. Blair is a Black Republican of the "strait est sect," it is but natural to suppose- that he would feol inclined to deal w ith it aa gently as possible. By the wsy, what disposition have our frituds of the IIollilayburg Whig, IUgislcr, Jc-hustown Iribune, and other intense Tariff ad- vocates in this region of country made of Johu M. Read, the opposition candidate for Supreme Judge ? They certainly will uot support him, after perusing hi letter to lion. George M. Dal las, cor.gratularing him on hii vote in favor cf TarifT of 1810. Will our neighbors be kind enough to inform us before the election what they they think of that Utter ? Democrats, remciuler, tchen you hear Black Republican orator prating about ihe " Tariff" ana "I roitclivn to American industry," thai ihe Tariff of 1857, tchich reduced the duty on L cn from 30 to 24 per cent., uas jxxssed by a IJfack Republican House of Representatives, and tliat Sami-fx S. Blair i a member of the Black Re publican party. The opposition should blush to talk about a protective Tariff after the course their Representatives pursued in 1857, and es pecially after having last year voted for David Wilmot for Governor, who was, in 184C, the "pen and avowed advocate of the doctrine of Free Trade. THE COUNTY TICKET. The Democracy of Cambria never were more firmly united than at the present time, and the eutire county ticket will be elected by a large majority. Mr. Portkr is one of most popular candidatee the party has had in the field for years. Mr. Pkocdpoot is a very worthy man, but he is a Black Republican, and although a foreigner, has consented to run 68 the candidate of the Know-Nothiug party. The voto he will receive on the sec vnd TecsJay of October will bo "precious fciku." The efforts of Robert 11. LrN-rnv to. as a proved abortive., So far from receiving 'aid and ' comfort" from the Democracy, he will scarce ly receive the entire Opposition vote of the oonnty. We repeat, the Democracy are united in every election district in the county, and will roll up an old-fasbioned majority in favor of PERSHING and the State and Cdaaty Tietefc. Detuccmts, the tJise fct action has arrived. In lesB than two weeks the election will take place, and you should therefore at or.ee buckle on your armor for the contest. If the entire Democratic vote of the county is polled, Mr. Pershing will be elected by a handsome mojoiity. If it is not, he may be defeated. This is a consideration which should induce every Democrat to not only attend the election and vote, but to aKo see that the entire Democratic vote of the district in which he live9 is polled. Demo crats, be active and vigilant; let not a vote be lost, and a brilliant victory will be the reward of your labor iu the. good cause. " KEEPING DARK. What are Samuel S. Ulair's views with re gard to the principles of the Know Nothing party? In his recent speech in this place, he was solemnly silent on the subject. And yet the piebald organisation which supports him, is composed of the united forces of the Know Nothings and Black Republicans of this district. If he endorses Kuow Nothing principles and is in favor of proscribing men, because they worship God according to the dictate of their conscience, he should openly avow it, and not shirk the issue as' he nas hitherto done. It is also very remarkable that all the KiiC-w Nothing papers iu the district, have been very lukewarm in the causo of Sam since the nomination of Mr. Blair. For in stance, a few months ago the Cambria TV in line never failed to furuiah its readers every week with an essay ou the dangers to be ap prehended from the efforts of the Jesuits to overthrow the Republic But since the nomination of Mr. Blair, its Editors have dropped the subject, and talk about nothing but the Tariff and Slavery. But we presume this estrangement is only temportry. After th election they will doubtless like true dis ciples of bigotry and intolerance, return to their first lore. Mr. Blair's silence has ereatcd not a littls dissatisfaction among the ultra Know Noth ings of this county. Many of them assert that unless he defines his position before the election, they will oppose him and vote for Mr. Patten. This is right. The man who i.H ashamed or afraid to avow his principles, is unworthy of an election to any office in the gift of a free people. The Tariff Plank. From present indications, the opposition, called by themselves the "People's Party" or the 'Republicans" intend to add the Tariff Plauk to their Fusion Platform this fall hoping thereby to humbug a few voters into the support of their candidates, who oth erwise would vote the Democratic ticket, as heretofore. This ticket of that tricky party, we presume, will not prove very profitable in this part of the Comuiouwealth. The lead ers of that ever changing party have exhaus ted their. fund of deception, and any renewed attempts at their oil tricks - will be exposed, and the imposition made to recoil upou their guilty heads All their old notions cuIL-d by them principles they have abandoned, aud now for want of something better, revive the Tariff question an unlucky bit for them, when the proceeliugs of the Congress that reduced the rates are more fully known. At the organization of the 34th Congress the Black Republicans outnumbered the Dem ocrats nearly two to one and after an un precedented struggle of months, succeeded in electing Banes, of Massachusetts, Speaker, over the Democrats. In forming the Com mittees of the House, the tariff question was kept in ricw. Speaker Banks, the tool and choice of the Manufacturing Princes of the East, placed Campbkll, of Ohio, the leader of the Republicans iu Congress, at the head of the Committee of Ways and Means, be-, ccuse of its control of the Revcuue questions, and because Mr. Campbell was a low Tariff nan. That we may not be contradicted nor be dis believed, even by those whose party preju dice would incline them to do it. we will publish in th"i8 oounection a few extracts from the speeches made by Mr. Campbell during the discussion and passage of the Tarilf bill now complained of : - "I wished to ascertain whether this gener al debate is to go on peuding so important a question as that of' reducing the Revenue of the Country., C. F. page 406. "In the higher schedules you will find a reJuclion, taking the importations of the last year as a basis of calculation, of about 53. 000,000 ; aud if tho importation of articles in the intermediate schedules are no more in the future than they were 1.-st year, you will have an aggregate reduction of about $14,- OOU'000." ... "Tho reduction of tho Revenue is one great object to accomplish." C. G. page 990. Mr. Campbell, as the leader and mouth piece of the Republican forces, and as tbeem ployer of the Eastern Manufacturerr, at tempted to coax into the suppo.t of his low Tariff bill the Democrats of Kentucky and Pennsylvania, , by telling them that there should be no "part politics" in the measure and that they could afford a redaction of du ty on Iron in order to have stability in the system, and bo assured of a rich harvest in a few years. Read his no-party aud free-trade sentiments : "I am very glad that the gentleman from Kentucky is willing to take this feature of tho bill, because Kentucky has a growing iron interest, as Ohio has; and I believe that great interest may woll afford a reduction of duty in order to bare that great question with drawn from the party politics of the time, and placed on a firm and stable basis. "Again I believe tl:at if this question were settled, taken, as I said, from the arena of party politics, and placed upon the basis reported by the Committee of Conference as a finality, Pennsylvania will, before many years roll around, reap a rieh harvest from the bill; but if Pennsylvania, will cling to her old policy whichsecs no other interest than her iron and coal," and prevents the pas sage of this bill, upon the shoulders of Penn sylvania must rest tha responsibility, uot npon mine." Cong, Globe, page 960.. ' - M.rrrlin to t kiderehlp of M. vmp- bell, the bill passed, by the votes of the great body of the Republicans. ' Now we submit the question to every can did reader, as to the party who caused tha redaction of the Tariff of '4G; and who is to blame for the 'hard times,' if they are at tributable the modification of the Tariff laws in '57 ? From the facts of the case it la very clear that the Republicans managed aud co rn? through Congress the modification now "complained of in their party platform. Iluw shamefully it becomes them then, to attempt to repudiate their own acts and cast the blame upon the Democrats. Not eighteen months from the date of their efforts in favor of re duced rates and a free list, they turn around aud claim to be the friends of high rules nd a protected list. . -The Deuiocraiio Tariff of '40 had given general satisfaction and wide spread prosperity to the country for iuclve years, atid its "stability" would not have been brokeu, nor the Federal Treasury teen bankiupted, and the loan of millions resorted to to keep the wheels of Government in mo tion, had the Black Republicans been in the minority in the 34th Congress. They then had the power to do miscnief, and ui j-t ef fectually did they execute it. The Nabob Manufactures of the East con tributed their gold and their influence iu favor of reduced Tariff. They succeeded by electing j their man li inks for fepeaker, who. according to arrangement, appointed Campbell to the head of the Tariff Committe; who also by ar rangement reported a bill of reduced rats aud a free list; and the Republican?, as a party, carried the bill through Congress in spite of opposition. The 78,000 corrupting fund coutributed by Lawrence, Stone it Co , a rich manufacturing firm in Boston, throws a little light upou the means aud motives at the root of the offensive changes in the Revenue laws The Congressional Committee of investigation developed the fact that the Republicans pai 1 liberally to secure the passage of the law; aud even went so far as to offer Greeley of the Tribune 1,000 for his asMstance. JJoius dule Herald. Thrilling Incident. Two Children Carried off by a Jiulloott, and Supposed to bt Lost. Our correspondent at the Illinois fair.atCeu tralia. acquaints us with the following most thrilling occurrence: Mr. G. W. Brooks, of this City, an Ecrouaant of considerable distinc tion, was advertised to make au ascension from a spot contiguous to the Fair grouuds, oa Friday evening, after the closing exercises of the Fair, Iustead, however, of going up himself, he yielded to the solicitations of a young man who has ben travel ling around with hiui, learning the thocry and practice of ballocn'ug, and who begged that, as the evening was so fine, he might be allowed to test the value of his knowledge by a little experience. The young man, whose name has escaped the recollection of our informant made the ascension iu beautiful style, iu the prcscuce of thousands of admiring and won dering people. The atmo.sphero was bo quiet, that he rose almost vertically t a great height, and then, when it was supposed that he would descend, the balloon panted into a current of air, which born it gradually away to the southeast, and finally carried it out of right. It was said that Mr. Brooks was much annoyed at hh pupil for refusing to descend before striking the curreut of air which bore him away from the hcne of the ascension. He dil nut return until Saturday morning about daybreak, aud tluu communicated au Hccount of his niot thrilliuir experiences. i The current of air which bore him off to the south-east carried him a distance of about tweury miles before he thought of descend ing By means of his grappling irous, the descent was made with safety aud ease, and he found himself alighted near a farm house, the inmates of which regarded bim with the greatest wonder and gratification The bal loon was made fast to a fence, aud after a short conversation with the farmer aud his wife, they were persuaded to make an ascen sion of a few haudred feet, one at a time. The balloon, relieved . of . all extra weight, rose readily, aud was easily pulled dowo again by means of the anchor rope. The farmer and his wife were highly pleased with the trip, aud while expressing their gratifica tion, two of their small children, one five aud the other three years old, who had beeu looking on with astonishment, scrambled into the car, and cried out, "Let me go up let me go up." The irjrouaut proceeded at once to gratify them, but from some carelessness or accident as he was letting them up. the rope slipped from his hmds, and the balloon mounted upwards icith the velocity of a rocket. The frantic agony of the parents, and the consternation of the aeronaut may be imagin ed. In a minute or two the balloon bad passed entirely out of sight, and wat totally lost in the blue depths of the sky. Nothing could be done but to hasten back to Mr. Brooks at Centralis, and ask his advice. Our iuformant learns that Mr. Brooks ex pressed his opinion that the balloon would remain iu the air an hour before commencing to defceud, aud while at its greatest altitude, l e children would probably freeze to death, unless, in their fright, they precipitated them selves from the car. . Mr. Brooks, early on Saturday morning, set out in the direction, the b tllooo had taken, in hopes to recover it, aud find some trace of the lost children. Our reporter called on Mr. Brooks, the brother of th aeronaut, last uight, and learn ed some further particulars, lie says he had a conversation with a gentleman who came from Centralia yesterday, who sUtes that the balloon' had been found about eight miles from that place, and tho children were fouud in the car fast asleep. This, however, is an improbable denotement, and cannot be re ceived without further corroborating informa tion. PxttUg Chron. Sept. 25. Utah. .-. The ' detailed accounts from Utah are to the 21st of August A new hue of policy seems to have been adopted by the Mormon priesthood in their relations-: to the people.. They have come to tho conclusion that too. great an Intimacy has. a tendency to lesseo their iuflucuce, aud therefore have resolved to keep themselves -aleof for a season, and to stop preaching the word as it is in tho Book of Mormon. - The Indian tribes io the valley and its vicinity, have been giving some trou ble, which is believed to-be the result of MormoQ. intrigue.

An embargo being laid on all native boats. vegetables, poultry, mutton, and other mar ketables, heretofore finding their way to the officers' mess, have stopped altogether. We had an opportunity of accompanying a party in search of a tew uecessiries on Saturday afternoon last, and traversed the straight street of "B'.-ncVoIeiice and Love," from the residence of the Coimuisbioners' Vainun to the East Gate. Nearly every shop was closed, and those with the doors open bad very little to nell. At stalls by the wayside oily could a, few tatties of rice bo procsrd Ten pounds of tea from one store left about twenty pounds more in small boxes Sugar appeared to be hidden it soine secret rcess. and a couple of pullets were tho sole remains of a dozen poultry haslets. Even the gates of that resort of gamblers and rufhatis of all descriptions, the City Temple, are closed. Such a picture of desolation was really pain ful to witness. But what has been the immediate cause of i this? some will ask. The answer is short. Rcpelliug all attempt at sociability, the Chi- uoe meet our ad van cos with cruelty. We s give an instance of what occurred on Satur day last, almost under our own eyes. Four Frenchmen landed from one of the Cat mat's boats, for the purpose of purchasing povi MJtis. When near the S-uth Gate, and in the new city, thoy were hemmed in by brivt s. Three cut their way through the fourth was captured, and his head aud bauds eut rff. Tha French naval commrnder on the river, lauded a party of men. inarched to theMtrrtt where the murder was committed, measured oil one hundred paces, and at one nud placed a detachment, with directions ti shoot t-vcrv man that tiied to escape. A ti-nilar party ! barred tae otner end. j hen came tho re venge. Every adult male, iu the houses lining the hundred paes, was stiz-.-d, shot, his throat cut, and then left to swelter iu the sua, as a warning to the neighborhood Forty-six bodies, about one to each yard, mad a ghastly spectacle. As a matter of course, only the maimed, the halt and the bliud, will remain longor in this doomed city, after occurrences f.uch as these. As dastardly as was the murner of the cook of tha 70th Bengal Nativo Infantry officers' mess. Formerly servant to Geu. Vau Strubeuzie, he spoke excelleut English, and was a uio-t valabl-j man.

The Fate of Austria. !"he brig Lotus arrived at New York cifv on Saturday, with twelve of tho sixty-seveu survivors of the burning wf tho steamer. which happened ou tho 13ih. Our dispatches j from New Ydk, of yesterday, say; A pnsseuger reports that a litUe after two ! o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th, a dense volume of smoke burst from the after i n- 1 trauce to the steerage. The speed was iu- j stantly slackened one-half, at which speed ! sue tuuiiuucj ji-Mug umu tue magazttiij ex ploded, whtn the engineers, it i supposed, were instanly suffocated. The tiro next burned through the lights amidships, travel ing aft with fearful rapidity. A boat was let down on the port side, and was instanUy crushed, and another ori the starboard side was swamped, from the uu.u bers rushing into it. Ail the first cabtu pas sengers wore on the poop, excepting a few geutlemen who must have been smotherod in the smoking room. Many of the second c ib- J in passengers were also on the poop, but a I number were shut up in the cabin by the fire, t some were pulled up through the ventilator, but the greater number perished in the flames. A woman was drawn up who said that six were there al.-eaJy suffocated. Several men and women jumped into tho sea by twos and threes. Some of the women were there al ready in flames; others hesitated till driven over at the last moment by the advancing flames. In a half hour not a soul was left on the poop deck. The -French bark, Capt Ernest Renaud came aloaide and at five o'clock rescued 40 passengers, who were chiefly taken off the bowsprit, but some were struggling in the water. At eight o'clock one of the boats came up with 22 persons, including the first and second officers, and subsequently four men were picked up float ing ou a piece of broken boat. Tho second officer was afterward rescued from the'weter; both he and the third officer were severely burnt. Many of the male passengers were frightfully burnt. Only six women were saved, three of whom were badly burned. A Norwegian bark went alonside of the steamer the next morning and sent out her beat, she may have pioked up a few persons. The bark Maurice bad uo communication with her.
