to define the lines of freedom and slavery by
degrees of latitude and longitude, or by geog-
raphical boundaries. The Democracy of Penn
sylyania guarding the destinies of the great
central Commonwealth of this Union, will adj
here faithfully to the principles of the Con-
stitution, the sovereignty of the States and OF
the people, and the stability and repose of the
nation. The people of Pennsylvania are unset
fish and unambitious, but they are just-they
are modest and unpretending, and slow at az
irving at conclusions, but they are powerful
for good. The people of.Pennsylvania are pat
riotic by instinct, and will crush to atoms all
the feeble barriers to a healthy flow of public
sentiment Pennsylvania has always been a
patriotic, unionloving State. She has always
stood by the flag of our common country. She
is the keystone of the Federal Arch, and STAN
ding midway between the North and the South,
she constitutes the great breakwater, against
which the waves of northern fanaticism and
southern folly, have long surged and viii con-
tlnue to surge in vain

Disasters on the Western Rivers.

Few persons are aware of the great number
of steamboat disasters that occur on the West
ern rivers, and the immense amount of proper
ty destroyed. The number of casualties for
the last six months exceeds anything of the
kind on record. The following is condensed
from a statement occupying three columns of
the st. Louis Republican:
In January there were as many accidents as
there are days in the month Eighteen steam
ers were lost, and twelve injured more or less.
The destruction of property, including boat
and cargo, involved loss ofupwards of half
million of dollars. Nineteen persons lost
their lives In February, twelve steamers and
four barges were destroyed; total loss amount
ing to 81 ,000, 900. About eighty lives were
lost. In March twelve steamers were lost,
valued with the cargoes at $3.50, ,000. One
hundred and twenty persons persisted Dur
ing the three succeeding months we have
twenty-eight steamers reported as being to-
tally destroyed, the value of which with the
carroes is estimated at half-a-million. About
thirty lives were lost So that for the last six
months. there were seventy steamers sunk or
DESTROYED by fire, besides upwards ofone hun
dred and fifty barges coal boats, sc valued
at g., ,00O, 900. The loss of life is estimated
at two hundred and fifty souls, though in
many instances, the exact number lost ~
! these accidents is unsttainshle,

Keen him down.

All keep him down. What business has a
poor man to attempt to rise, without namo
without friends, without honorable bloed in
his veins? We have known him ever since
he was a boy--we knew his father before him
and he was but a mechanic and what merit
can there be in the young STRIPPING? Such
is the cry of the world when a man of sterling
character attempts to break away from the
cords of poverty and ignor anee and rise to a
position of truth and honor. The multitude
are excited by envy they cannot endure TO
be outstripped by those who grew up with
them or their children side by side, and hence
the opposition a man encounters in his native
place. Despite of their feelings many noble
minds have arisen from obscurity and lived
down their opponents; but others yielded to
the discouragements, lived in obscurity. and
''died and made no sign" Let it not be so
with you, young man. Persevere, mount
up and startle the world.
