~ Hon. GEO. McDuFFIE is rapidly sinking
the memorable declaration, that Slavery is the
corner stone of our republican edifcc,' and cx-
pressed the wish that his posterity, to the latest
generation, might dwell in no other than a
slaveholding country. No deeper disgrace could
attach to his memory than would be sure to fol-
low if this sentiment were made his cpitaph.-
And yet he was a famous Democrat accord
ing to the political nomenclature of this great
country

F~OreiatherS' Day.

I'll Anniversary of the Landing of the Pill
grims (22d December) is to be celebrated at Ply
mouth, Mass, by the Abolitionists of the Old
Colony. A mass meeting is to be held on the
22d and 2Sd, and w. L. Garrison, Wendell Phil
lips, Frederick Douglass, c. L. Rcmond and
Others arc expected to attend. The occasion
must be one of high and holy interest, not less
on account of the sublime object of the meeting
than of the associations which will cluster
around it. This is the first time, we believe,
that the Abolitionists have ever attempted a
formal celebration of this anniversary.

THE OVERLAND EMIGRANTs.

SUFFERING AND WINTERING AT THE Mon.
MON SETTLEMENT AT SALT LAKE-..The St.
Louis Republican has letter from Green
River, California Territory, dated Aug. 10Th,
and another from Fort Larami, Indian Terri
tory, dated Sept. 18th, which give some in.
teresting news from Salt Lake respecting the
overland emigrants for California. 1t is any
thing but Aaitering. There is every proba
bility that 6fteen to twenty thousand persons
will be compelled to pass the winter at the
Mormon settlement of Salt Lake, owing TO
the grass being consumed by fire for two
hundred miles beyond, rendering il impossi-
BILE TO subsist the animals in the train Of the
emigranis. The supplies at Salt Lake are
limited, and there will be much suffering un.
less the emigrants themselves are provided
which is not likely, as they have thrown
away everything that could impede their
travel.
1t is evident that grea! want Of foresight
has characterized this overland expedition.
The country was but little known, and the
difficulties to be encountered not at all un-
derstood First the emigrants overloaded
themselves with every useless kind of article
furniture of no possible use to them, and
household Injuries that could well be dis
pensed with in the new country they were
going to. These they were compelled to
abandon in a very short time, and snbse-
quenily, when their horses, mules and oxen
| kr., h,.y l,,,,
Der, they were compelled TO part with more
valuable things. About one thousand wa
gons have been burnt or abandoned on the
road. Along the banks of the North Platte
TO where the Sweetwater road turns of, the
amount of valuable property thrown away is
aslonishing---iron, trunks, clothing, &C., ly-
iuo strewed about to the value of at leas, fifty
thousand dollars in about twenty miles. Five
hundred dead oxen, one writer says, he
counted on the road. VIZ -r...t f..h j..
Those who will succeed in getting across
to the land of their hopes will scarcely be
much better off ttan their companions at
Salt Lake. They will arrive SO late that the
season for working the mines will be over,
and they will be, compelled to pass in idle
ness long winter in California, many Of
them destitute of money or other of the ne.
cessaries of life, and compelled to snbss'
upon the charity and benevolence of those
who are better provided. With these pros.
poets before them, we must expect 10 hear OF
much suffering among them. The Difficult.
ties to be encountered will probably deter
any further emigration BY the land route.

rrThe last Gazette devotes to the tariff
and us, nearly column, whose hackneyed
phrase and puerile arguments bear the ear
marks of its paternity. We are not dspos-
ed to controvert the opinion therein advan-
ced, that the tariff of 46 caused the famine
IN Ireland, nor can we deny that the inn
mense expectation of brcadstufs was owing
chiefly to that famine. The tariff parcel
of its rhodomontade is not worthy of any
reply, other than we have given on several
previous occasions, and no one, but the Ga
zette, would use such stale arguments at this
day unless prompted by his own ignorance,
or presuming on the stupidity ofhis readers.
The resolution in favor Of free trade in
the Pittsburgh convention, was not repor-
ted by the committee, but passed amid the
noise and confusion of an adjournment.
That which the Gazette alleged passed at
our County convention, was hurried through
in similar confusion, in company with seve-
raj others so ridiculous and absurd that they
were suppressed. The Gazette knows this;
or il it does not, it paid very slight atten-
tion 10 that part of the proceedings. We
could make columns of extracts from demo-
cratic papers, asserting that the tariff ques-
ton was not before the people at the last
contest, nor involved in the election cf
Canal Commissioner. 1t is notorious fact,
that the wings were not permitted to make
the issue. We repeat that this county, this
district and this state, are in favor Of the
protective policy. We are proud 10 be
ranked among ITS advocates, and shall al
ways deemed it more democratic and patr-
otic, to said and comfort" any party in esta.
blishing that policy, than follow the present
course of the Gazette in espousing the cause
Of the British 'slords of the loom." .l'
The Gazette prates of acting in accord
ance with its principles. We should like
to know what its principles are. The
course of the Gazette has been as shifting
and vacillating as the veriest weathercock.
We had occasion sometime ago, by extracts
from its editorials, TO expose its vagaries and
could do SO again did the occasion warrant
it. The word principle implies something
fixed. The pssudo principles ofthe Gazette,
are but wax moulded aud fashioned by the
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1849-11-10

DREADFuL FLOOD IN CARBON COUNTY.
The Luzerne Democrat Of the 3lst contains
an account of fearful food, by the aorm Of
Thursday last. &
4 appears that on Hickory Run, a stream
which 9empties into the Lehigh, about FIVE
miles below White Havsn, there wasa large
dam, belonging to Mahlor X. Taylor, which
covered about 70 acres of ground, when full,
and IN some places 40 feet deep, During
Monday night, in consequence Of the heavy
rains on that day, this. dam filed to overflow
ing, (the waste gates having, been neglected
to be hoisted) and the dam gave way about
midnight, sweeping everything before it,
Houses with their sleeping inmates were
dashed TO atoms, and their inhabitants with
out a moment's warning, carried away by
the mighty food. Mr.. Taylor's house and
two saw mills were destroyed. Isaac Gould's
house and saw mill were carried away, and
not timber remained together His daugh
ter, who was in the house at the time, wa:
found on Tuesday under a heap Of aoodwood
dead. Jacob Vests wife and four childrer
found dead. He was under a log heap in {
state of insensiblity. Thomas Crawford ant
his wife were both found dead. Twent,
persons were missing, of whom seven bodies
have been found. tA tf t
Nothing has been heard from below th'
mouth OF the creek, and serious apprehen
sions are entertained for several families liv
ing just below in a narrow gorge. The.
must have perished. As the Lehigh wa
high at the time, there has been disastrou
work along the whole line of the Lehig
Navigation, it is feared. 1a I'"e

The RosrnuM OF DEMosrHENEs.

The Rostrum of Demostbenes was above
us on the side Of the hill facing the sea. A
platform is cut into the rock and each side a
seat hewn out, probably for the distinguished
men Of the state. The audience stood on the
hill side and the orator and his listeners were
in the open air.
Scene after scene swept through my fancy
as stood on the spot. Isaw Demosihenes
after his first unsuccessful oration, decendng
with detected air towards the temple Of
Theseus followed by old Eunornas; abandon
ing himself to despair, and repressing The
fiery consciousness within him, as hopeless
ambition. saw him again with the las,
glowing period of Philippe upon his lips
standing on the same, rocky eminence, his
arms stretched towards, Macedop, his eye
flashing with success, and his .,ear bent to
catch the low murmer Of the crowd below,
whiohiiold him he had moved his country as
with the heayei of an earthquake! ] saw
the calm Aristides arise with mantle folded
majeslicaIly about him, and handsome Alci-,

speak, and Socrates gazing on his Wild and
