It bati heen asserted over aad:,over again by these' dew-cornera, that but little Was done' to improve octr villages Within two or thred years." Let us see if this is not an unwarrant able and impudent insult to the old settlers: It is true, Mr. TPLI2.tt built a very rEspedable &Welling house . last year. We consider ii' quite an addi ; tidh to the place;• but no one will pretend that it is more tasteful, or more of an iceproierdent ' to the til lage, than the large and ban some edifice erected ity Hon. T. Iras, many years, ago. Mr. Ives• has also , ex pendetnnuch labor in planting trees; improving his gronnds, and otherwise adorning his borne, Whiali is second to none in Northern Penusylvania.in all that goes to make np a beautiful and deairatle tountr3r residence. Which one of these iself:landing new-confers has done ds band" for the .village. of Coudersport.as Mr. I.?. It is.also true that Mr. Datir , built a very handsome barn and a woodshed last summer; besides improving his groiinds; arid he has, built a fence this spring that adds considerably to the upper end of town; but really, We cannot see that taking his improvements as a Whole, haici added more to the Character or appearance of the place than those made by D. B: BROWN. For instance; Mr. 13:has cleared and fenced his side bill, painted and othetivise improved_ his house, erected in a neat and sub stantial manner the handsome and commodious church on West-street, and in addition to this, has cottipleted and put in operatien the first Foundry in the county; at which is now menu; factured on liort notice, and in the best style, any article of machinery in ordinary use, end Where our farm; ers Can supply,themselves with plows, harrows, and other implements of . in*- dustry. To preach the services of the clock than in itinitoving the village as superior to those substantial acid pertnatient works of - I‘lr. 8., is simply to place mere money above industry . , skill, energy, and the wealth of labor and batiital working intelligently and harmoniobsly togethet. Then there i's Fad REES:, next to him in neighbor; hood, but perhaps in advance in,what he has done fbr Coudersport; for ho, too, at great sacrifice of, ahki moneY,has erected a beaUtifill at a greater cost than any iinprove theiht any one of the new-comers has Made.'Theft there are the irnprtivd- Merits of Dr. Aitos littaxert, another old settler, that Will compare fiivorably with .anything that has been done " withia two or three years." Then we hate the improvements of W. T. d'oStita, in the erection of stores, build= ing sidewalks, draining swamps, plant ing trees, and other services, which, no eiitious man will be able to hide from the 'discerning public. Thd same may be said of Recatiew; at whbse wagon shop our farmers and business tiled have for years been supplied with the indispensable' plerneuts of -business On the road had fart% - . , Theis are other's whose services ivoald suffer no injury by a eompwr: ison with those of the than who thinks the village would go to destruction without his mighty woiks. But the 3 / 4 , ariotis improvements Of 'lion. S. Ross, to the manor born, are greater and of more value .than the improvements , of all the new-comers put together; and speak for themselves. These Old settleii are all self-Made men: They • hale . never :acquit'eli money on the . unpaid toil of others.

In conclusion, we have a word of advice for the mistaken_ men who have been led by some evil spirit to make this grossly unjust attack oa . the old guard, who have labored long and faithfully to improve the county of their adoption: You will find the path of detraction a hard road to travel. Better abandon it at once, as there is neither .honor- or influence to be acquired in that direction: A few of our people bovVio wealth, bht the mass Of them will not disgrace therns6lves by any such disreputable toadyism, and they can neither be coaxed,or driven from the path of duty. Whoever makes an honest effort to reform one evil, or add one improte- Ment to our 'village,' will receive a hearty God speed frOm this latter class - , but an ostentatious display of every trifling act inevitably creates disgut and contempt. . A PREDICTION 11Ir. Caldwell, ox-member. froth the Louisville .District of Kentucky, ad dressed :a public --meeting in Feb., 1854, on the Nebraska' then peed' ing in Congreis, and madeuse of the following land - nacre: Gentlemen, it is ,useless for me to .you-;•longer. ,My assurances feem Washington, are, that .this 'Ne braska liill will pass the Seeate. anti house of Representatives by decided majorities..

A part of this prediction was ful filled 'nearly a 'year since,- The bill becanie,i law'ty the Votes of North ern, ; douglifaces„ against the *earnest protest of their constituents. It rek mains to be seen whether the people Will "finally all subinit" to the 'outs rage. ,:That is . what our pro-slavery 'otgani mean .When they advise the free people .of the North to "mind Your Own - business." These servile tobls'cif slavery have so 'long looked upon the people as,subject - ,4,.that they really think it is none of their business. What Congress does, or how much slavery.iS 'extended, or what outrages • _ the' slavehOldeis . commit, Whatever the lords of the lash may choose to do, their allies at the north . will wink at, and think it is-the business of the peo ple to submit 'td them. Theta is doubtless a small• number of hangers on to • would!be great men in every county, who .will take. this ignoble .advice, but. We• rejoice in the daily increasing evidence .that the mass of the . people . *Will not . submit to. the further rule of slavery, and that-they will indignantly, spurn the counsels: of those -who. advise . such submission to the faith-breakers.

The slayeholders have their emissaries already in the territory, and as soon as lairs are passed by' the territorial *legislature, protecting thnt species of property, they will migrate thither with their gangs o(black laborers. . In the mean time we quote from the Adrer liser its statement bf certain' other ciretin stances on which it founds the expectation that .Kanaus will.become a free statet . "We received yesterday the closing returns of the result of tito second election. which filled th 6 ,vacancies where the Governor re. fused.to sgivtil certificates on the result of the first. From these returns the following table shows the complexion of the House of Repre sentatives: • , Slave State Rep g o.

"To the statements we made last week as to the character of the towns in Kansas, we might add further facts, which have since come to our knowledge, showing still that the cen tres Ofintluence are, with a single exception, on the free state side. The town of Leaven worth, under the protection of the fort, un der the influence of the general government; and really a Missouri town, because separated only by a ferry -from Platte county, gives a pro-slavery vote.. No other town in the ter ritory does so. Lawrence, Ossawatoinie, Pawnee, Topeka and the new towns .named Boston and Hampden, , all settled under the auspices of the New England .Emigrant Aid Company, Council City, the station of the New York Kansas League, and the German settlement on the Kansas river, are all 'free State' towns. There is not another town be sides these in the territory. There are town lots, like 'Douglas,' but they ere not towns. They are dead speculations. Here are the presses, the mills, schoOls, except those of the Indian missions, and every Sunday school in the territory, has been established with the co operation of the New England Company.. It - Wtitild seem impossible to doubt that a territory which makes such a beginning shouldtnot be free. "We hear sometimes intimations that north ern settlers . prove lake to northern institu tions and prindipies. The slander we desire to fix unequivocally as an invention of the ene mies of those principles. • "General Pomeroy, whose authority no one will questjon i sayshe kneiv of no man among the thousand who have gone forward under the arrangements of the • Emigrant Aid Com• puny, who has ever "voted a slave stale ticket. It is true' that at elections where the legal -judges were driven from the polls at the point of the hOwie knife, and illegal successors ap poitited, northern men have refused to vote.- This may be a mistake in judgment, but it is not a failure in principle. The northern men in the territory, if we except those who were long since converted to southern institutions, are all free state men. "If it is asked why, in such a state of things,. all the seats of illegal' members in the legisla ture were not contested before . Gov. Reeder, the aniwer'is very clear. A territory, whose settled portion is as large as the state of Maine, whose people have not been six months iu their homes, is not in condition to act with our promptness of organization. The Ossa watomie precinct contains the strongest free state vote of any in Kansas. An army took possession of their polls and returned:slave state representatives.. They protested against the election, but by one of the misfortunes of prairie travel their -protest arrived four hours too late at Gov. Reeder's head quarters, For this reasonthe illegal members have his certifi cate. Fur similar reasons °tier . members of the majority of the legislature have theirs:— But such a majority carries no moral force, "It does not deceive the people of Kansas. It ought not deceive us here." • •[r We are glad to learn thst the Hun. J.ll. GIUIItNGS 19 to be at Alfred, Allegany county, N.

The excitement Consequent upon the convocation . of the Know-Sonie thing or Republican Convention is on the increase. The idea or secrecy appears to be discarded, and I learn from good authority that they intend to abolish all oaths and obligations: Last evening the Convention con sidered the platform as reported by the Committee• until 7 o'clock. So far as adopted, it avows "strong" Anti- , . Slavery principles, The; platform will distinctly enunciate that there is a North; pledging the party to a union with the Anti-Nebraska party: The adoption of the Pro-Slavery platform at Philadelphia was made known this morning to the Convention assembled by the following dispatch's "The North is beaten ;thirteen States have withdrawn in disgust. Say to our friends at Cleveland, we . are with you heart and soul:" The announcement Was received With singular .ernotions, which gave . Way to renewed hopes and three times three were given and. repeated fur Liberty and Humanity. Delegates• have arrived from Philadelphia who' are. authorized to unite with the Know-Somethings. The good' Work goes bravely on. Doughfaceism will not triumph. The .watchword is '4'Cl on AND LiBLRTY,!' The Committee on Resolutions oil the Know-Something Convention, con lasting of one from each State, have • made the following report. Their resolutions were revised, slightly mod- , ified and passed to-day. The pream ble asserts that the servility to the Slave Power, the characteristic of existing political. parties, is perilous to manhood, to the best interests of the North, and to. the liberties of the Republic: The • first resolution declares that the issue before. the American public is whether freedom is to be limited to Free States or Slavery to Slave States. Sec - ond: That the issue has been forced upon the country by Slave Power aggressions. Third: That these aggressions, and especially the Nebraska outrage and the assault upon the elective franchise of Kan,al, have aroused the freemen of the Repu . blic, and that they will maintain their rights and resist the additions of slave' territory. Fourth:• That they will, maintain the nationality of Freedom. Fifth : That the friends. of Freedom should make principles, not birthplace, the test of admission to citizenship. Sixth: That we will repel every ecclesiastical interference in political, affairs by . .potentate, pontiff or priest, as destructive of‘the right to worship God according to the dictates of con science and of liberty. • Seventh: Recommends action in several States for. the promotion of Temperance. Eighth: Agreeing to support free schools, free labor, and harbor im provements. Ninth: To strive for the election of men of integrity, and with nerve to resist aggression of any kind. Tenth.: For these objects we are - ready to.unite with all men under any name or organization to aid in carry ingiinto operation these principles. • ighe Convention is in session this ' evening, and will probably finish and adjourn to-morrow. Otrit FARMERS A3E LOOSING UP Notivithstanding the cold and back ward spring,: the prospects of our farmers' are very flattering. Wheat never looked better. The grass is very fair—oats look fine, and the corn has improved very fast for the last few days. There is a much larger breadth of land under cultivation, than ever before. The fruit promises to be abundant, and it only needs a con tinued effort in well doing, to place Our farmers in the most prosperous condition. Keep your cornfields well tilled, put- in plenty of turnips and, rutabagas, and a small field of buck wheat, and the county will be in a more prosperous condition on the first of January next, than it ever was. • In relation to the buckwheat crop, we think its importance is not realized. ;The following, highly interesting ar -tide is one of practical importance, and we hope every farmer will give it a candid perusal, and profit by its suggestions Few crops can be, turned to better account on . 11 prior, light, gravelly soil. than buck wheat. Itpossesses a chemical action on the soil, by which the coarser particles are disin tegrated, or rendered" fmer. The soil,— earth unmixed with animal or vegetable mat. let - to .produced by the disintegration, or pulverizing bf rocks. Site; or sand, is the oxide; t rust of silicum ; or, to make it more familiax„it is pulverized quartz. Clay.is pro duced- by the decomposition of feldspar.— Now allthe . quartz and feldspar in the world, while, eicisting in. the form sal rock, will not produce a blade of grass,- it is only whets decomposed or pulverized; and the finer the particles, the better the soil. If a soil, then, is coarse, the object of tho &infer' shaiild be - to pulverize it, which can only be done by 801110 .chemical, application, or the growing ofsome cinp which ha s th at chemical power. Buckwheat, by a process •vet undiscovered, hei that power, anti the longer it cultivated, •on a given pi e e e: r e c ground. the finer will be the particles of the soil. It injures.
