apd extending on the Atlantic coast from 25

Ios49.deg. of north latitude, and contains a
geographical area of 3,306,865 square mileSf
being but pne-tenlh less than the entire con
tinent of. Europe. They contain a popula
tion at the present lime of 25,000,000, of
wjjpm 21,000,000 are whites. The extent
qf.jis,.sea coast exclusive of islands and
rivers,lo head of tide water, is .12,660 miles.
The length of ten of its principal rivers is
20,000 miles. The surface of its five great
lakes is, 00,000 square miles. The num
ber of miles of railway in operation within
its limita is 20,000, constructed at a cost of
§600,000,000. The length of its canals is

Its most valuable product is Indian corn,
which yields annually §400,000.000. 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.
The amount of its registered and enrolled 1
tonage is 4,407,010 tons. The amount of
capital invested in manufactures is §6,000, «■
600.000, The amounlmf its foreign imports
in 1853 was §267,978,647, and of exports
§230,076,157. The annnal amount of its
internal trade is §6,000,000,000. The an
nual value of the products of labor (other
than Agricultural) is §1,600,000,000. The
annual value of the incomes of its Inhabi
tants is $1,000,000,600. The value of its
farms and live stock is §5,000,000,000. Us
mines of gold, copper. lead and iron are
among (he richest in the world.' The value
of the gold produced in California is §1,000,-
000,000 per annum. The surface of its
coal fields, is 133,132 square miles. Its re

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. Therefore: ‘ ' " S .

<b) No, sir! Thai Convention did not not nomi

about as good op anti-Nebraaka roan a* von are.
Like yourself, he‘has been drf all aide* of the ques
tion that could affect his bread and batter favorably.
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

No,sir! We did not get np ths. anti-Nebraska
Convention, nor are we alone, responsible for it Its

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 !
Wd nowr <*ajl .upon you, Mr. Editor, to Bay why
you weremoved:to .violate your professional oath,

der the name of Electrical Psychology, by means of
which,’certain ilinerantlecturers “raisedltbe wind”
so extensively* fow years ago. 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,

The aathpr.of the review before us is one of the

refilled the arguments of the learned Doctor. This
review,is {no catchpenny affair, hot one of the ablest
of the author’s ufforts. Its logic is clear and con

of thousands. 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-.

' 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. I bo not forget
that " slavery is a crimeagainst God and

and that slave catching in Pennsylvania, is
no better than slavery irt" Kansas.- .

1 have promised to analyze and contrast
the “Nebraska swindle I .’ and the Fugitive
Slave Ac|, considered as measures to be re
sisted or abojished through the instrumentali
ty of party drill. 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.

Mr, Bigler, while he is openly in favor of the

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? Why, ibis acid I
1647 is the most glorious, and the most i»t
porianf of any. act of this State since i» f
passage of the act of March, 1, 1780, eon- [
tilled "An Act for the gradual abolition ««
slavery," The act of 1847 completed the i
work which the act of 1780 commenced,aM |
yet his Excellency thought it necessary »
deny voting for so noble an act, probably to
the reason that Peter denied with an oaib ha
acquaintance with Jesus of Nazareth- 10
