NORTHUMBERLAND, July 80, 1852.

->ohA NJ VI NbEhLAND, July oV, lco-.
\ heavy storm passed over this place
last evening, doing much damage. The
Bridge across the North Branch River,
connecting the island with the Sunbury
shore, was totally demolished The force
of the wind WAS so great as to lift the en-
tire structure, nine hundred feet in length,
of the piers, and hurl it into the river, OIL
the upper side, with such force as to tear
it to pieces. The Bridge, at present, con-
sists OF an immense mass of timbers piled
on top of one another in such confusion as
to make it utterly y impossible to distinguish
one part from the other. Loss estimated
at ten thousand dollars.
In consequence of this unfortunate acci-
dent, the Sunbury station is cut off from
all Te!egraphic communication with the
rest of the line, probably for some weeks.
Communications for Sunbury will be for
warded from the Northumberlan office.
BY the same storm, a part of the roof
of VIM. p. Douglas barn, in Kelly Tp.,
was blown Of, and fences blown down, corn
uprooted, and other damage done in differ
ent parts Of the county. The present week
has been very cool for August, with fine
showers.

A New Feature.

We have already advised our readers of the
connection between Daniel l.. Miller, Jr, and
his cats paws in this county; confirmed more
recently by the fact that the President of the
Sunbury & Erie Company publicly exhibited,
in Sunbury, the letters of G. II. Shriner TO him,
advising him of the "glorious" progress he
was making in stirring up dissension on this
Susquehanna aCompany--a circumstance strong
as proof from Holy Writ, and requiring no
comment from us.
We regret that we have now to state the
additional fact-susceptble of proof, as we
are informed by respectable par,ies-that the
Democratic State Central Committee, in the
fullness of their profound political wisdom,
have placed a goodly portion of the sinews

they innocently suppose. the Whig party in

speaking for ourself individually, certainly
have no objection to any ascendancy our party
can honorably achieve, and are disposed at al
times cordially TO lend helping hand. Blu
this movement is such self evident and
egregious blunder, that it is difficult to see how
any politician of character, or thimble ful
of brains, could have given it any countenanct

The aComDromise Measures"

As the series of measures in the last
Congress- known a. the "Compromise
Measures" are used BY many without any
particular knowledge of what they really
are, we give them, with some running
comments of the Boston Journal which
assist in the eluciiation of their rise and
progress. They are
l. The act providing for the Admission
Of California. This act was bitterly cppo
sed by the South, because the Constitution
of the new State prohibited Slavery.
2. The act establishing a Territorial
Government for Utah
3. The act establishing a Territorial
Government in New Mexico. These two
acts were passed without the Proviso
against the Introduction of Slavery. The
application of the Proviso was earnestly
advocated at the North
4. The act of establishing the Boundary
between Texas and New Mexico. This
was bitter pill for the North, as it gave
$40, 100000 to Texas for territory which
it was generally believed rightfnlly
belonged to NV Mexico.
S. The ac. abolishing the Slave Trade
in the District of Columbia. This il
generally regarded as an important conees
sion on the part of the South to the caus
Of human freedom. 1t was measur
Offset by
6. The Fugitive Slave Law. This &C
carries out an obligation imposed by th
Constitution. The North coniended fo
trial BY jury in the State where tn
alleged fugitive is seized. The Soutl
conceded the jury trial if it should b
demanded, but held that it should tax
place in the State whence the requisitio
emanated. The act provided for the az
pointment Of Commissioners, before whol
the alleged fugitive should be brough
and who should give all parties a ia
hearing, and discharge or remand IL
alleged fugitive as required by cigcur
stances. It can not DO denied that if
jury trial had been granted, the pyovisic
in the Constitution for the restoration
fngitives would have been practical
aunulled. Nc jury Of twelve mcn like
