Erie Matters.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA dispatch from Erie
informs US that the rioters are in the ascendant,
and all is excitement
ERIE, Feb. l.-Governor Bigler arrived here
yesterday. He spoke to-day to an immense crowd
of the people, and advised no violence to persons
or property He said he. sympathized with the
people, and that Government would protect their
rights. He goes to Harbor Creek tomorrow.
ERIE, Feb. 2.-The railroad men relaid the
track where it was torn up yesterday; but two
hours afterwards, in consequence of the excite
ment among the people, Mayor King ordered that
il be torn up again. Governor Bigier is said to
have been displeased with this act, but the Mayor
signifed that it should be reIaid to-day. ~
The excitement runs high, and the people seem
disposed to act independent Of the Governor and
Mayor. r..,-.,-.. -...--...
Yesterday a mob headed by Mr.. Looms, at
tempted to prevent the departure of the freight
trains on the Western road.H Governor Bgler
has appointed Colonel Parker to take charge of
the Western road. The two roads now run side
by side. h
Governor Bigler went down last evening with
the intention of forming connection, butwas de-

Fusion and PriLiCipic.

We have, from time to time, exposed the pious
humbug of the Fusion business, in which so many
of our clamorous God and Liberty neighbors in
dulge. The prettiest illustration we have yet
seen of it occurred in the State Temeerance Con-
vention at Columbus, on Thursday last.
Everybody knows, OF course, that Mr.. ADDISON,
ofths city, is publishing an ut-and-out temper,
ance an1 ant-slavery paper, called the " CONNER.
cia'" AS MIR. A. justly claims to have done much
to swell the temperance sentiment in Northern
Ohio, he very properly went before the Conven-
ton, with the hope of obtaining numerous sub
scribers He naturally supposed temperance men
would leap to support sheet specially devoted
to their interest. But he was doomed to disap-
pointment-like plenty Of other folks who put
their trust in Fusion. He was openly opposed
and denounced in the Convention, as unworthy
of support. The charge was brought by M. ,KEE-
LER, Of this city-who has fused himself into
considerable notice on various occasions. Itwas
unsustained by facts. Mr.. CAREY, (the Chair
mani who is in the Fusion interest, and has pa
per of his own, refused to hear him without the
unanimous consent of the audience. AS KELLER
and other conspirators denied permission, oil
course poor ADDISON wGs choked down. The
motives of this outrage are obvious to all who
know the course of the Commercial last fall
Mr.. A. refused to make his paper the lck-spitt'
organ of the Wing and Free Soil desperadoes
who parceled out our county offices under the de-
ceptive plea.. of Temperance ISSUE" This is the
first chance they have had to strike dagger into
his back, and at last they have done it, through
through their useful man of all work KELLER
The Fusion organs in this region have beer
tearing passion to tatters over turning "nigger'
out of the Senate as reporter. What have they
to say about applying the gag to an out-and-ou
temperance white man, in Temperance Conven
toni Have they any denunciations to bestov
upon the gross outrage? or, do their regard ant
only extend to the "cullu'd pop 'lation!"

A Rnnting Wing appointed to Onice

The editor of the Ohio Patriot writing from
Washington, in speaking of appointments made
by Gen. Pierce, says:
"Among the recent appointments made by the
powers that be, is that of Thomas Rainey, of Ohio,
Consul to Bolivia. This Rainey, besides being a
natural fool and fit subject for the Lunatic Asy-
lum, is an out-and-out Federal Wing. He pub
lished Scott campaign paper at Cincinnati, du-
ring the late campaign. This appointment is a
burning shame-a glarng insult to the Democra-
cy Of Ohio There are other appointments pre-
viously made for Ohio bad enough in all con-
science, but this last--the appointment Of "a rem
agage Wing, caps the climax adds "nsult to in
jury The New York Tribune makes the fol-
lowing significant notice of this appointment: The
Administration seems to be turning Wing. We
observe, among other late combinations by the
Senate, that of the appointment of Thomas Rain
ey, Esq, as Consul to Bolivia. Mr.. Rainey was
an active Whg in the late Presidential canvass,
and with the assistance of funds from the National
Scott Committee, published campaign paper at
Cincinnati, in aid Of the election of Gen'l Scott.
We are quite sure that Mr.. Rainey is as much of
a Wing as he ever was, and the appointment stri-
kes us, therefore, with surprise.'"

- DKMA Star Of lpstweek, in COM
nentnk upon an article of the Forsit City Dem
ocrat, III reference to the decision of the Supreme
Court inr the Bank tax case, saysfsT effect Of
the decision must be oppressive, and must drive
capital from the State, and probably close the
doors Of many II not all the Banks" Does any
one believe such twaddIe! Does the Star editor
believe it himselfl Not a word of it. In the
wide borders Of the State no class of people have
been or as highly favored and privileged as bank
ers. With limited amount of capital, the leg
slalion Of of the State has placed at their disposal
twice or thrice the amount, which costs them not
cent, and from all of which they are deriving
profit and, as their own reports show, greater
profits than are derived from any other business or
pursuit. Il is not true that decision which plac-
es them upon an equality with the people and
compels them to shell out their portion Of taxes
for the support of government from their Is, 90,
3d. and 40 per cent profits, is oppressive, or that
such decision need drive capital from the State,
or close the doors of any or all the Banks. Ifthis
capital does go, if these Banks do close their
uOOIS, ~ VIII Ue DeCduSC lHCg uSlcIuluSu "
extort from the people continuance of the odi-
Gus and unjust privileges which they have enjoy
ed in the past. Let them do their worst. Nei-
ther their threats of oppression, nor the hypocrit-
ical ranting of subsidized press will win.
Again, the Star says: "And the farmer who is
in debt for his land must be taxed on that debt
he cannot deduct it from the appraised vrlue of
the farm" Does the Star editor suppose that
such bald-headed, bare-faced demagoguism will
go down with an honest, intelligent people! He
insnuates that it is popularity of the law of
1859 that it disallows the man who is indebted for
his land to deduct such Indebtedness from the ap-
praised value of the land. He knows better
He knows that no law of Ohio, from the day of
its organization as State, has ever permitted
such deductions, and that in this respect the law
of 1862 does not essentially differ from all other
laws which have preceded it upon that subject in
this State; and we doubt whether any other State
ever adopted different principle. The Star is
altogether mistaken when it thinks to be able to
"wool" the people with that kind of clap-trap.

right Of the people TO selEgoyernment Under
The constitution, this right has more direct Fefer-
lenee to municipal regulations.
What's the Democratic policy! That the gov
ernmenf u one Of limited powers and that Con-
gress has not the right to exercise powers not spe
cifcally granted, in the provisions Of the const-
tuition; that it has been the policy Of the demo-
cratic party, and one which they never can aban-
don, to adhere to a rigid construction Of the con-
stitution, and oppose the exercise Of ell doubtful
powersI further, that the constitution has not del
egated to Congress the right to establish or pro-
hibit slavery in the territories Of the United States
and, that the territories Of the United States are
the joint property Of the several States, acquired
by their united action, and the expenditure of their
common treasure, and that they are entitled to
governments organized upon the theory of the
federal compact, leaving to the yeople thereof, to
enact such laws relating to their domestic nstitu-
tons as they may deem most conducive to their
welfare aud happiness. ....,-,.
From this time to the end Of this vexatious ques-
ton, we plant ourselves on these granite Demo-
cratic truths They cannot be abridged or refined
away. According to Ohio Democracy, even If
compromised away, there is the power Of repeal,
which, whenever they are mutlated will reinstate
them in their primitive vigor. Just in proportion
as we forget them, are we endangered. They are
more radical than all other political elements
eminently sanctioned by Democratic principle
and precedent They were affirmed by the Bal
timore platform and the compromise of 1850
New Mexico and Utah were established on them.
They declare slavery alien to the Federal Gov
ernment, and forbid Congress to intermeddle with
the subject. They make it State matter-a ma;-
ter for the people. If Ohio to-day wished, not
withstanding the ordinance of 1887, to establish
slavery in her limits, she could do it. God forbid
that she should! But the PEOPLE could exercise
power, Gin a constitutional manner) even to blast
the State by the of slavery, if they pleased.
Congress has no power to say yea nay to it; for
the constitution forbids the general government to
meddle with the internal concerns of the State.
So the Nebraska bill leaves the matter open "to
the decision of the PEOPLE themselves"
Does any one inquire if any compromise is aG-
fected by it! We boldly answer, no compromise
is as sucred as the popular voice, spoken within
the constitutional limits No compromise is SO
potent to stife its omnipotent fiat, speaking for
the regulation Of its immediate domestic relations.

REMARKABLE PRoGREss.-Tell it not in GATH
Our neighbor OF the Wing is out in favor of Free
Trade! But then he has strange way of arriv-
ing at it. He claims "that protective tariff sys.
tenn is the direcl road to free trade" This con-
clusion is probably arrived at by the same logic
by which the boy would prove that "the .tarthest
way round was the nearest way home" 1t is un.
doubtedly true that ''extremes sometimes meet"
but we think the American people have held on
sufficiently long to the protection extreme to
become satisfied that the goal of free trade is not
very soon to be reached in that direction.
But the Wing refers to the policy of Great Brit
ain as illustrative Of its position in this respect.
1t contends that by the protective system she
''strengthened her industrial institutions until she
became proyerbial as nation of workshops; and
it was only when she had fostered them until
they had become more extensive and capable than
those of any nation, that she adopted a system
of free trade." We were not aware before that
the industrial interests had received such foster
ing care at the hands of that government. We
did suppose that there capital, and not labor, was
protected; that the great land and money mo-
nopolies were fostcred ana cherished until her
laborers groaned beneath the weight OF the op-
pressive burthens and were reduced to state Of
pauperism. 1t may be true that her lords of the
loom and lords Of the land may have become op-
ulent and powerful, but what in the mean time,
has been the condition of her operatives! those
who in her workshops and upon her broad acres
have produced the wealth of which the naughty
lords Of Britain boast, and the Whtg so much ad-
mires. In days by gone Wing papers used to tell
us of the pauper labor of the British workshops,
and they might have added of the British soil.
Are these the proud monuents of the British pro-
tective system which challenges the admiration
of our neghbor, and which he would have our
country copy! England followed up this policy
Of fostering and strengthening her monopoly in
teresfs until gaunt famine stared her protected,
laboring, producing subjects square in the face,
when stern necessity compelled her to tighten the
burthen that was grinding them to the dust, and
open her ports to the commerce of the world.
Heaven forbid that we should travel that road to
free trade.
What evidences the Wing can discern to en-
courage the hope he seems to indulge that the
present Congress will repudiate the tariff of 1916
and reinstate the exploded specific policy of 1912,
we know not, but we see nothing that even squints
in that direction; but if the Wing can find hook
to hang hope upon let him cherish it, for it is
the forlorn hope.

Now if it was understood that the Mssour

occur that no one was found to assert it. But tina
it was not SO understood is abundantly shown by
the fact that Senator Dixon of Missouri, has intro

more manly than Douglas, repeating the Nilsson

But is the country prepared for this, Are W.

Of 1850 no more repealed the Missouri compro
mise than Cass' Nicholson letter did, which only
declared his views in regard to territory acquiret
by annexing Texas, and which would be acquired
from Mexico at the conclusion of the war. Thil
letter was antagonistical to the Wilmot Proviso
which was intended to apply to territory which
we might acquire from Mexico. 7.a.
But Douglas pretends to think that slavery will
not find its way, or be introduced into Nebraska
though tolerated in the bill organizing the terrific
