ticket. What these essential usages are is not
left to conjecture. They are participation in
the regular caucusos, and stern abiding by
their determination. These are the touch
stones of Democracy as understood in Pennsyl-
vania by the political pharisees who arrogate
the whole of it to themselves. 1t is a simple
faith, easy of comprehension, and remarkably
unexacting in its demands upon the voters, as
1t would spare them the trouble of all thought,
and devolve it upon the caucuses of the
elected. Others may emulate or even sur
pass them in its practice, but the Pennsylvania
committee are at least entitled to the credit of
being the most plain-spoken of its preachers.
Democracy used to be translated, government
by the people; they boldly announce its modern
and revised Specification to be, unquestioning
submission to the DEGREES of caucus.

Excitement ut Harrisburg.

The city of Harrisburg Pennsylvania, has been
the scene of considerable excitement for some days.
on account of the arrest and detention of several
runaway negroes. The latest intelligence is con
tanned in the following eegraphic despatch TO the
Philadelphia Bulletin:
HARRISBURG, August "a.
Our town has been the scene of great excitement
yesterday and to-day, on account of the arrest and
examination of three black fugitves from Vir-
gina,
Yesterday the court was engaged all day in the
examination of the negroes writ of ha6tas cor
Ttls. They were charged with horse. stealing, but
in reality fugitive slaves. No decision was made
yesterday, but this morning Judge Pearson decided
tAat the stealing OF horse by slave for the pur-
pose Of escaping not criminal offence under
the law for retaining fugitives, and consequently
he discharged them.
The slaves were at once ushored out of the prison
door, but had no sooner reached the street when
they were seized by their masters, and a battle en-
sued between them After a severe struggle, two
OF the slaves were finally handcufIed, but one of
them made his escape.
The court has just issued warrant against the
owners and all engaged in the affair for an assault
and battery with the intention to excite a riot.
The slaves and their owners are now in Jail
The court has also ordered the sheriff TO employ
posse Tor the purpose OF dispensing, at all hazards
the mob now assembled in front Of the prison.
The following subsequent despatch is given by
the Bulletin:
HARRIsBURG, Aug. AL D. m
Ten free negroes have been arrested for trying
TO incte a riot The slaves, two in number, are in
prison.
The owners Of the slaves and other persons en-
gagged in securing them after their discharge by
the court, before the court on a writ Of ha-
beas corpus.
The two slaves are held in Jail
The crowd before the prison has been diBpcrsed
by the military, called out under General Saller,
and the town is rcsuming, in measure, its wonted
quiet and order.

Tuesdays Republic at the request of 'Subscri-
ber publishes from the Iphg OF the 9th instant an
address Of George Smith, Orange county, Vir-
gna, - "to thevoters of Orange, Greene, Madison,
and Culpeper counties" 'sSubscriber'' asked its
republication, 50 that "the whole country may see
what principles and opinions are cherished and
promulgated in 'the Old Dominion in this age of
progress by some of those who aspire to the honor
of seats in that convention which will change the
organic law ofthat famous Commonwealth
One Of 'Mr. George Smiths" reforms is as fol-
lows:
"lst The most important question of all others,
is to fix the future districts SO that Wing can
be elected TO either the Senate the House if
such thing be possible. My main purpose in the
convention will be to effect this object"
We cannot see how any man read this and
every other passage in this Address, without ben
satisfied that the whole affair is a buylesque and
was SO intended. We have heard the name Of the
humorous author Of this jeu despii. Yet the whole
affair is paraded in the Republic, a genuine pro-
duction of Virginia Democrat and sincere e1-
position of his principles, with view to cast rdi-
Guile on the Old Dominion and her Democracy.
We trust that the Republic will have the justice to
explain the matter and expose the sinister motives
OF its thick sighted correspondent Ricim ond En-
qmrr.
"We cannot see how any man" could have
read The address and the letter of a ''Subscri-
ber' requesting its publication in the Republic,
without being satisfied that the whole affair
both letter and address was a burlesque and
was SO intended" The gravity with which
the Subscriber preferred his request we did
not suppose, for a moment, could have imposed
even upon the most ''thick- sighted of read
ers. We beg the Enquirer to dismiss its APP
prehensions. The readers of the Republic are
quite too intelligent to be deceived by so broad
a burlesque, and be thereby led to do any in
Justice, in their own minds, either to the "Old
Dominion" or to its Democracy"

The St. Louis Republican of the 10Th con
tains intelligence from New Mexico to the 10th
July, of which we published a Geographic
summary on Saturday. 1t says:
Several gentlemen of the army, among them
Captain Sykes, Sd infantry, Leutenants Plymp-
ton and Tyler, 7th infantry, Captain Allen, artil
lery, and DR.. Edwards, with Mr.. r. II. Mckinney,
left Santa FG on the 10Th July, and part of them
arrived yesterday in this city"
After the election of United States Senators,
the new Mexican Legislature elected p. j.
Pillans Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF
that State, and f. c. West, Tomas Cabeza de
Baca, and Diego Archuletta, Associate Judges.
Lewis b. Sheets was elected Secretary of
State, J. ID. Robinson Auditor, and Charles
Blumer State Treasurer. An election for sher-
ifs and other officers was ordered for the I'd
of August, but it is said that there was some
conflict Of opinion between Colonel Monroe and
the people in this particular, and that this cleo
ton would be prevented.
"The Indian. still continued their deprodations in
all parts of New Mexico. They attacked the +.
chos of Kit Carson and Maxwell, run off all their
stock, and killed Bill New, an old mountaiueer,
bugler and private of company !, First Dragons
and Mexican. Major Grier barely escaped with
his life. They had also off the stock from diff
ferent places in the neighborhood Of Taos, during
which they killed five Mexcans. These depreda-
tons were committed by the Jiccarilla Apaches a
band of Indians numbering only about $50 men.
The NavaJoes were not idle, and had run off large
herds Of sheep from the Pueblo. Large parties OF
the Camanchcs had visited Gasteo, Santo Domin-
go and Anton Chico, but they did no damage and
professed 10 be peaceably inclined.
"Narious outgoing trains and attachments OF mil
itary were met on the route. Wcbbs train was
met thirty miles from Santa Re; S. Wethered, Jas.
Sabine, r. Ross, and Hez. Harrson's trains at Rcd
| river; Capt Sandcrson's command, escorting Go.

crossing Of the Arkansas Captain Lowell, with a
command Of Loyelps Light Battery and Company
X, of Dragons, met at Jones' Fort, on their
way TO the Big Timbers, where a military post Is
! TO be established. Connelly's train of wagons was
met at Walnut Creek, and Aubreys train at the
Big Bend Of the Arkansas. A second United
States mail stage was met at Cottonwood de-
tachmcnt Of recruits, under command Of Captain
Shredder, was met near Stranger Creek, and scy-
cral detached parties along the route.
Colonel May, Captain Humber, Of the It'll, and
Lieutenant Burnside, were TO leave with the same
party for the States, but detained by official
duty.
''Major wcightman was left at Kansas, and may
be expected here to- day
"The crops in New Mexico were very fine. No
rain fell while the party the route, and in
some places it was difficult 10 procure water"

because the treasury had not continued TO col
lect the same amount of contribution from the
foreigner. Had the duty been specific, the
treasury would have taken always the same
sum, and the whole would then have been paid
by the producer, who would have been unable,
unasssted to destroy his competitor; whereas,
under the ad ralorem system, the treasury had
divided with the foreigner loss incurred Tor
the express purpose of breaking down domestic
competition, and thus throwing on the consul
mer the whole burden of the duty.
-Four years since, the lowest price at which
England would supply us with iron was Ilo,
and the duty being fixed at thirty per cent, IFS
amount was Sl4 DO. The rapid growth of our
iron manufacture bid fair speedily to shut her
out Of our market, and she has incurred great
sacrifices with view TO avert this catastrophe
The price fell to Is, and the government con-
tributed one fifth of the duty towards the ac-
complshment Of the good work of running our
own owners of FORCES, furnaces, and rolling
mills. Again the price fell and again the Gov
eminent made contributions 1t is now sup
piled at less than f5-being far less than The
actum cost Of produciion-and the Government
contributes about 81 SO per ton, in reduction of
duty, to enable the foreigner to keep up the
murderous warfare that appears destined to re-
suit in the entire ruin of a branch of industry
quite as important to the country as the culture
of cotton, almost equal to it in amount, and
that was growing with rapidity never equalled
in any department of industry in any country
of the world.
1t is the first time in the history of the
world that any government has made its whole
revenue system dependent entirely on papers
prepared abroad-and the first, as il is likely
TO be the last, that government has been seen
leagued with foreigners for the destruction Of
all It's men Of activity and enterprise.
