THE oaRTsrIANA TRAGEDY.

The papers TEEN with accounts OF this sad and
most Iamentable tragedy. The citizens OF a por-
ton ofPenDsyIyanfa, Of Maryland aud the border
counties of Virginia have become thoroughly
aroused to the danger of their several atttudes'
Whilst a oortion Of Pennsylvania is sound to the
core on the great question Of sustaining the Flu
eitiye Slave Law, there is also a large portion,
embracing men Of acknowledged ability, who are
tanning the spirit Of rank fanatIclsm into a living
coal. There are men there who view with salts.
faction even An utrageastertiblei in character and
disastrous in consequence as that at ChrlstIana.
Twice, now, in the course Of a few years, have
citizens of Maryland been set upon by an armed
mob, and their hearts blood made 10. mix with
the dust, whilst seeking their lawful their Con
stitutionaI, and their moral rights, in possessing
themselves Of their legal property. The blood
of young Kennedy, of Hagerstown, was poured
out in the streets Of Carlisle-Hollings"orth and
his friends barely escaped with their lives, having
been stoned and maltreated 10 the most shameful
and outrageous manner-'yct the law proved
weak, Intellectual, and the mutderous horde es-
capped with tritling a punishment.
Here again is an old mana worthy old gen.
tleman-his son and friends set upon by an in
furiated ~populace who were angered without
cause, whose passions were aroused without
reason. The animal was excited within them,
and they struck down father and son, martyrs in
the cause ofjustice, whilst defending their clear
Iy recognized Constitutional rights.
Shall these things continue? Are we on the
borders to suffer marlyrdom? Is the blood flour
citizens to be poured out and no avenging arm 10
be raised in our defence? The Executive OF
Pennsylvania is not with US. That head has
been found to be the special pIeader of the trail
tors and rebels Of Christiana! Judges Grier aud
Kane have decided that the fell and wanton acts
come within the purview Of treason against the
United States, aud yet, in the Elective of Penn.
s~ylvania we have a man who would tain lind
excuses and suggest palliations for these vile
miscreants.
We believe, however, that the masses ofPenn-
sylvanta are right on this great question: and we
shall continue in that impression until after the
elections of October. 1t is for them to decide
whether Johnston, the traitors apologist,o or Bigler
the friend of the Constitution and clearly defined
Southern Rights shall be their Governor. Al
though remote from the exciting scene of strife,
vet we feel, and think we perceive an uprising
Of the ~virtuous minded and just, to hurl from pow.
err a man who has proven himself SO unworthy
of the great public trust he has held for the last
few years.
Let the friends Of the Constitution rally around
tho standard of BigIer-let them remember the,
tragic deeds commi.ted by fa~nelicism-abd let
them prove themselves worthy members of that
Union Of which they form an integral.

CALIFoRNIA NEWS.

EHL
The steamship Illinois arrived at Norfolk on
the 18th inst, with dates from Chagres 10 the
9th. She was compelled to run in to Norfolk op
account of being short OF coal. There were
400 passengers on board, and y, 800 900 in gold
dust on freight, and aslarge amount in the hands
ofpassengers. She left.the Falcon at Chagres.
Tie Bother Jonathan sailed from Kingston, 8
hours ahead of the Illinois. The California
news possesses aSlittle more interest. Consider.
able excitement prevails with regard 10 the cleo.
ton. Business was brisk, and accounts from the
mining Districts continued favorable, The wea-
ther was ine, and the clops in promising condi-
tien. The state, of society had somewhat i'm.

SENATOR STOCKTON.

We have received a copy of an eloquent 4th OF
July speech from this distinguished Senator OF
New Jersey Fit warmly advocates the rights Of
the States, and the Union of the States. The
orator says :-"If a dissolution OF the Union is in.
evitable. then I would prefer the lines of separa-
ton should be drawn along the Hudson aud the
Lakes, rather than the Potomac and the Ohio
Ihaye no doubt that in such an event The North
western States would unite with New Jersey,
Pennsylvania aud the South. The South is
