And in surveying the agricultural productions of our country, we are not only struck with their abundance but with their great variety. Our territory extends from the frigid region of the north to the genial climate of the tro pics, affording almost every variety of tem perature and every kind of grain and vege table. Her productions range from the cold ice and hard gmniie of the north, the golden corn of the west, to l tie cotton and sugar of the south ; and nearly all in sufficient quan tities to supply our domestic consumption and furnish large supplies for exportation, thus furnishing nearly all the value as well as the bulk of our foreign commerce; sug gesting thereby tte irresistible conclusion that agriculture is the great transcendent in terest of our country, and upon which all other interests depend.

A Cabd. — The undersigned openly and cheerfully pledge themselves to use their vptcs and influence to elect Judge Pollock and his associates upon the Anti-Nebraska ticket, in preference to those whose names appear upon the so-called Democratic ticket, and whom we know to be fully committed for the slavery extension principle. O. B- WELLS, W.D. BAILEY. Up to 3, P. M, of Thursday of lasi week, we rested in blessed security concerning- the triumph ant election of Judge Pollock. Just then we chanc ed to lift a copy of the Eagle, and, glancing at the editorial page, dismayed, we beheld him apparently suspended between the premises and conclusions of our neighbor's logic. We looked for the friendly born of a dilemma upon which the Judge might bang long enough to take breath; but alas! wc dis covered that our neighbor's dilemmas were of the mootey hind—hornless. Some frightful things have been done under the wing of “ Orthodoxy," (which is our neighbor’s text,) and bis article is one of them. Wc read it— twice—and, closing our eyes, were greeted with a vision of Uie immortal Bacon, weeping a deluge of tears over tbs wreck which our neighbor has made of his cherished system. Alas! worthy associate of the worthy Colonel, you might have spared the de parted philosopher those tears, for his system was uqyer intended to withstand the rude asaaalls oi your logic I Like the wing of a coming tempest it appals,'and like the swift lightning its climaxes come down, scattering like chaff, the strong towers qf Human Reason! ~' are called updo to publish Judge Pollock’s let ter and define' his position. The first we have al ready done, and the last be has done for. himself in that letter. It Is not necessary to review the column of superlative nonsense .which we find in the Eagle upon this subject, for its argument it suicidal. We submit it Ip .any competent person to say if it con tains one legitimate conclusion, taking the eenti. menu of ihe letter in question as a proposition. The writer represents Judge Pollock as denying to Con. gross the right to legislate upon the subject of Slave ry. Now we unoeailatingly affirm that the Judge nowhere soys in that Utter, and nowhere /ante, even, that Caagreie hat no right to legialate upon the tub. jeel of Slavery ; and in proof of this, we appeal to the letter inqnestion.. If the editor of the Eagle is an. honest man, he will publish that letter, the sen timent of which he has so falsified by proxy. . If we understand Judge Pdlldek’a position from the plain reading of hie June letter, it is briefly as follows: 1 ’ - lei, Slavery Is wrong. 2d, Congrekb, as representing this moral,'no less than the political sentiment of the pepple, has -ho power to do wrong,’either by positive sot fir other wise.

Besides, we have ample reason to 'suspect the sound ness of others 6ri that ticket OP coarse wh did not acquiesce in the action of that Convention. It was got up by ohertian, to secure his own nomination. Why, bless yon, Sir Innocence! The democrats of Tioga were first to urge a ** Fusion," and first to hold a Convention behind the breastwork of party. Subscribe to such a grossinconsislency I Never! No,sir! We did not get np ths. anti-Nebraska Convention, nor are we alone, responsible for it Its nominations stand, we think, three Democrat) and two' IVAigst-ralhcr modest-Whiggfry, that. But we.do nqt forget that the Democrat has not behaved itself like.a truth-loving journal since it re fused to answer our questionjßatistaclorily, some two months ago. Its editor has kept mum on the ques tion at issue between ns, ever since. When it char ges ns. with hypocrisy, we cannot bnl refer to the course of its editor on the Nebraska question. He began by throating right and led at the aiders and abettors of that infamous bill, as tnerciless as un sparing. He even nndcrtoook to catch a lew votes for Bigler by representing that functionary as being opposed to the bill. Bat tills brought down the wrath of the Stale administration organs npon his bead, and like a whipped dog, he hauled down his colors, bovc-to, and licked the hands of bis casliga tora. And when the GoVerhor in a speech at Mon trose, stated hla adherence to the mbit‘objectionable features of the Nebraska bill, Mr, Chase' bad not the manliness to come out and acknowledge that he had. misrepresented his Excellency npon that So, the principle for which be contended but a few' months since, with him, has degenerated into a mis erable, unmanly and dishonest policy. All his blow against the Nebraska bill is proved by his actions to have been for Buncombe. Alas! Mr. Speaker, yon stand a poor chance lo aucceed Mr-Growj after such attacking about as you have jost accomplished If, as we learn from bis winding op, Mr. Chase wishes (ho order-loving, law-abiding citizens pf Ti oga to arise and thrust as oat of the County, it may be well enough for him to superintend the operation in person,.as it will doubtless be an interesting Oc casion. But From whom doe* this appeal to the mohocnc; come? Is it from one who. ha* found the path of rectitude too ongenjal with his tastes and incliua lloni, and ha* plunged into the ceu pool* of society to escape the responsibilities of Msmlood,* gloomy, reckless, disappointed man T Does this appeal to the passions of the multitude come up from those sinks of vice where the sunlight of Truth, Love and Rea. son never falls, and whose dwellers breathe the no*, ioui stench of moral and social uneleanness ?—who move only as unreasoning Passion stirs, and then to fill our streets with riot and confusion ?—who never heard the word—“ Miser, and who only spare life at a price ? Is it from this source that this appeal comes 1 No !—and we blush to own that it comes from one, who, by bis position is a conservator of the public morals—the editor of a public journal— a Democratic journal! Nor is this all; it come* from one who is bound by his professional oath to do nought to disturb the even balance of the scales of Justice between man and man, and to put no ob stacles in the wsy of the working of (he civil law. Would that this wore all; but It is not. It comes from one who hs* twice represented a populous district in, and acted as presiding officer over the papular branch of the Legislature of ;the second Stale in the Union. It comes from one who was en. trusted with law-making powers but recently, and now, with hi* blushing honors thick upon him, asks bis fellow-cilitens to trample on the civil law, and obey unreasoning Passion instead !

Upon ilauiscovery, the Doctor launched out into the wildcat speculation* and craziest theories that have been sent to plague this fast age. His science, was the Ultima Thule ot scientific research. Deity was proved to he elec, tricity, and the.universe but an emanation of the same. In short, the learned Doctor discovered, that the base,and..superstructure of all things, that soul and mind and thought, were, but different forms of the same subtle fluid- Gifted with an,am pie imag. matron, and .an inorfiinaie conceit of bis originality, be is very jealous of hew' theories, fepring that they may finally'supplant, his own in the. public'esteem.

It breathes no dogmatical spirit, bat presents argument in the garb of truth and Reason. He leaves the question with the reader for decision, instead of thrusting a decision of his own upon him. That Spiritualism is fast becoming the ton of the age, few who read,can doubt. That it courts inves tigation is certain. That it has baffled Us oppoSem to explain or put down, is undeniable. In view of these facta, we ask for this Review a careful.perd-. sal by those who think that Bovee Hods has given Spiritualism its earthly quietus. ' Judge, pallock. The Free Democrats of) this region appear generallylpleased with Judge Pollock. His speech, delivered on the 6th, is considered more satisfactory' than his letter. James McMaster,lEsq., questioned him about the Fugitive-law, and is satisfied to vote for him. As Mr, M.is about the staunchest abolitionist we know, and has most consistently opposed any abatement of principle, we lake'it as an omen that Judge Pollock will get tbe full party vote. Neville B. Craig baa also ex pressed himself inclined to vole for Judge Pollock. The probabilities ere that) he will be elected, and then we shall see how this union will work. It is worth a good deal to make the experiment, and the defeat of the old ; Democratic party in Pennsylvania on a slavery extension issue, is a matieVbf great moment. Its moral influence sen pcarce be estimated ; but let the people beware of that old'hydra head, (he National Whig party. The country cannot be redeemed until it is destroyed. A great and continued effort will be made, nay, is now malting, to preserve this or ganizalion, and keep the Northern wing ns ever in the traces to do the will, of the Southern masters, and we greatly fetjr the effort will be successful. The ifefusol of so many Northern Whigs to demand the re peal of the Fugitive Slave Law— thesilencc of the parly in this State about the use of our publio buildings as barracoona, the ad mission oft new slave states, end the proposed withdrawal of (he African Squadronr ' 8 very ominous. If Mr. Seward and the National Inlellu gencer succeed in keeping the Northern and Southern wings of the Whig parry , together, and they suegeed in electing a* President next term, they will begin just where Mr. Pierce leaves off, and progress, steadily, though any dirty work slavery may do; with as much alacrity as.. Democrats -could possibly aspjre to. Let Whiggery have the offices todiatribute under Southern dictation, and it will furnish as many spaniels as our Demo., oracy can whistle up. We therefore .beg our, Free Democratic friends! to hold by their organization and be ready to join with any body of'men-who-espouse [the doctrine of eternal hostility (6 slavery.

It may be that this prom ise is to comprehensive, and threatens to con sume too mudh time, and to discuss points w hich need no discussion. lam disposed to to avoid these offences, and hope to avoid tedious detail. I shall not attempt to exhaust the subject, nor even to proceed in a regular' system/ I ntji not the first to use the term “ drill” in Ihislnpplicaiion, nor do I consider it unob jectionable. Ido not like the notion of dril ling ' freemen ; and yet, this may be only a visionary ultraism, which substitutes the de sirable for the actual. I rather believe it is. The voters of the North are theoretically freemen, but very few of them actually free. In just so far as they are not actually free ibey are in need of more or less of voluntary subjection to certain forms and methods of discipline, to give them the encouragement of success and the habitual virtue of enacting 'heir' “good intentions.” Yes—we, the North, do need drill —it were folly to deny that. The Slavearchy has selfish interest for its motive power, the most active and vigilant principle in human nature. Our self iqtereat does not,.like (heirs, lie at the centre add front of the controversy, but, to the gene _rql understanding, ipsolves itself into the in terest of trade and office patronage, and, for the sake of these, into peaceable Union, — lying iisjH’'Therefore to the interests of our .enemy. Beyond this our selfish interest, in the general perspective, touches the slave pupation only in the “ vanishing point” of the future, where it has no apparent'magnitude. The North, if it moves at all, must therefore repudia|e, in'the main, the influence' of selfish motives, and proceed upon higher principles in the love of justice, and pure benevolence. If the North is prepared under the-influence of these principles, (irmly and perseveringly, and without other inducement, then indeed are' we a miracle in the human society,—but she is not—perhaps never can be. If the discipline and drill of our crusade against slavery shall at last lift us up to this degree of- public virtue it would be indeed a greater good than even the universal overthrow of chattel slavery. For our consolation, how ever be it understood, (hat every movement in favor of right and justice, however abor tive and unsatisfactory, bath this tendency. My inquiry invplves, preliminarily, fhe general character of the material to be affec ted by the “drill,” lo witthe voters of the North. Croakers have said “ There ts no North'!” but there are in fact several Norths, which 1 will briefly describe and number Tor future reference: Ist. North No. 1, which did not consent to the Compromises ol 1850, and least of all, to the Fugitive Slave Law. 2d. North No. 2, which was roused by the Nebraska swindle. 3d. North No. 3, which consented to both ; aye, and lo all the late wrongs and encroach ments of tbe Slavsrcby. Enough for this week. , Scire Facias. VOS TOT AGITATOR. Mr. Editor (Since a correspondent in the last Eagle announces that the » County once more is safe,” I propose lo agitate /he subject, of which he treals. a little further. I don’t know how many times you will have’to explain the object for which the An ti-Nebraska Convention was called, before the astute man of the Eagle and his corres. pondenJ will understand n. Bui as you-are a “stranger,” not only in the county, but likewise to the peculiarities of the Eagle man, I would suggest that you give it up, as there are none so deaf as those who trill not hear. The object of that Convention 'is very Well known and, understood by the freemen of Ti oga ; and If the Eagle's correspondent has any doubts upon the.irobject, I advise him to wail patiently until the people threugh the ballot-box, remove them.

And here lei me ask anti-Nebraska demo crats—how can you cotwisiently vote ht Mr, Bigler, while he is openly in favor of the Douglas infamy 7 • You cannot. sophis try of party leaders cannot reconcile sued a gross inconsistency. As to the other nominations by the anti- Nebraska Convention, I do not see that they can be bettered, Mr. J. F. Donaldson is ag efficient officer and served long and faithfully. He will be elected. Mr. Bailey has never fed at the public crib, and has the reputation of being bones and capable. His nomination gives very general satisfaction here, and' it is generally believed that he will distance the Eagh by at least 300 voles in ihecounty. Mr. Wells is eminently worthy of theoflke for which he is named, and will makers good and efficient officer, 1 think be will be In umpftanl/y elected. Mr. Niles is likewise well fitted for the of fice of Auditor, and cannot be beat.- William Bigler’a Position. Under tide caption, the Comteregort Journal rf last week says ‘some eery truthful things in a plain, matter-offact way, which, as they art right to lit point, we cannot withhold from ototreaders. Tit Journal says; X x "In the campaign of 1831,certain' papers charged Mr, Bigler with inconsistency in voting for theami-kidnappingact of 1647, and denouncing like-same act io 1851. Bigler thought it necessary to deny voiinglit this act, which was the chief ornament u the Administration of F. R. Shunk. He «t a member of the Senate when it was' passe and the bill received the unanimous vote«( that body, and yet in a letter dated July a J 1851, he says : “ I c|id not vole fqr it; | took no part in the proceedings of the seoatt { on the subject, nor could it io my opinios. have become a law if its full bearing hid been perceived at the lime.” Is not that t pretty denial for a man to make, wfyo wast that lime, and is now, asking for; the voles«t independent freemen?
