Onward now 1 the light s is streaming Over hill, and vale, and plain ; As its searching rays are beaming, Midnight plotters hide in vain. Onward now! behold them stealing, In their pale and guilty flight— Shrinking from that dread revealing, Praying for the shades of night. . Onward now! for they are flying, With their lanterns quenched and dim— Their base hearts within them dying— Trembling, faint in every limb. Onward now! with hearts united— Yell disunioifis no more; Forward by the faith we've plighted, And the name we've proudly bore. Onward now! the day is breaking— Forward to the noble strife ;. Shout aloud! the echoes waking Songs with joy and gladness rife. SPEECH OP HON. WM. B. REED, Delivered at the Democratic Ratification Met ing in Philadelphia On. the 10th ult. • FELLOW CITIZENS—I am here this evening by the kind invitation of your committee. I am here under the generous and comprehen sive call of your meeting,—and I am here with as strong a wish as animates any one within the sound of my voice that the ticket nominated at Cincinnati may be successful. In coming here, I am conscious of no sepera tion from ancient friends or from. existing political organizations, for the great )?arty with which I have solely acted is practically extinct. No one stood by it longer than I did. Those who would now prostitute it name for others uses, (and even that is'hard ly pretended,) have no claim on my fidelity, and those who, without a change of feeling or opinion on any . great principle of govern ment, think there is something more sabred than a traditionary party name—they—and there are thousands such around us and amon g st on the great question as to whose hands the trust of our Executive gov ernment shall be confided - f;)r the next four years, will come with me and vote with you. I am glad to be among the first of the great conservative party of this city, .thus ly to avow - adhesion to the candidates of Na tional Democracy. It may lie, lam taking a hazardous step. It may be a sacrifice.— But, be it what it may, no one shall say it is a half-way, tiuiid hesitating step—,ir that tow, after a life of eery decisive politics, I hesitate to do that which every sentiment of loyalty to the Constitution, of cleai duty to my native State awl to my native city prompts. Thus feeling, thus speaking, thus very willing to act—coming too as a private and undistinguished citizen, with no ends to gain,, no , aspiration to gratify, I consider I I shall be welcome. But I have a special and a local object in being here to-night; and. wish that what I say could reach every man of business in the community, for, on the ground of mere local interest, I can demonstrate which side Phila delphia ought to take in the issue now before the people. Shall the capital of Pennsylva nia, this metropolis so often postponed, so much overshadowed, cast its influence and. throw its vote 7 .—is it wise, is it patriotic, is it politic for it to throw its vote against a Penn sylvania candidate for the Presidency ? Especially is it wise to do so when the vote would, in all human probability, be cast in favor of a principle of sectionalism against which Philadelphia has alwilys arrayed it self? With aggresive sectionalism in any form, this City of the Constitution never has had, and never can have communion, and I cherish the hope that, if Philadelphia hereafter finds herself obliged to choose be tween a merely . Abolition cause in any form or guise, and the National party which knows no higher law than the Constitution, and makes its principles conservative of the Union, her citizens will come forward to the support of Mr. Buchanan with as zealous and hearty a will, as I feel it my duty to do now. . Temporary and national excitements may have their influence of delay, but the ultimate result is certain. When Mr. Bu chanan was last here, returning from public service to his home, the politicians barred the door against him. No welcome greeted him from official lips. But the men of busi ness, the merchants of Philadelphia took the duty in their own hands. They thanked hinafor maintaining their honor abroad.— They thanked him for his ellbrt to . maintain peace, and. with it the interests of com merce and peaceful industry. To • them he spoke words of genial gratitude and. of con servative counsel—and they 'now feel, differ ing as they may from him politically, that the interests of the Nation are safe in his hands. Ile stands before us too a man. of ir reproachable private character. 11 during the canvass about to begin, Mr. Buchanan maintains, as I am sure he will, his attitude of dionified moderation, of admonitory re serve to all who from "any quarter urge a contra-iiltraism,—if he continues to stand - ashe now does before the nation the type of conservative statesmanship, with no abate ment'of ,fidelity to the great 'party who in honoring him, honors itself, I, as one of its humblest citizens, invite him back to Phila delphia to a now and heartier welcome. I 'shall be glad to see a Pennsylvania President welcomed in Indedend.ence This matter of State pride, this local exul tation in honors rendered to our own public men, must .not be looked on as an illusory sentiment: Your distinguished guests to night, from other' States, will not ,think the worse of us for indulging it. It is that which has made Virginia the Mother of Pre sidents. She - nurses her children like a love ly mother, and does not bind them out or cast - them off without care as to- what be comes of them. It was that which made Massachusetts cling to Mr. Webster; North Carolina to. William Gaston; and South Car olina to Mr. Calhoun and her other honored son, WilliaM Loundes, {a representative from nmq WILLIAM LEWIS, VOL, XII, NEI Carolina, whom it was her pride to send to the Halls of Congress, men of peaceful, gen tle chivalry,) and which bound Kentucky, by devotion that never abated, to Mr; Clay. And now, when for the first time for seventy years, a -- Pennsylvania Statesman is named for the highest honor in the Nation's gift, have we not a right, nay, is it not our duty .to avow the throbbine , of the same pure sen timent in our heart If the habit of easy self-sacrifice, the readiness to be content with small honors and subordinate offices which has been so long the discredit and shame of Pennsylvania, if all this have not chilled to absolute indifference every natural emotion of honest pride in our bosom, this, common wealth will speak out for her honored son in tones which will not soon die away in silence —and from no part, if her feelings and opin ions on points of public policy be moderately respeeted, will there be a stronger and hear tier utterance from this her Whig metropo lis. But there is an actual political significancy in these nominations, that of Mr. Breckenridge, •as well as that of . the Pretident, as respects locality, that cannot be overlooked. It is no extreme of territory that furnishes the can didates. They come from the. Middle States, front the very centre of the Union, for Ken tucky, strictly speaking; is no longer a Wes tern State. They are the representatives of that central band which encircles the Un ion, and which, if ever the Union is severed, must break asunder in ragged edges to tear and wound by the animosity of frontier war fare. Kentucky and Pennsylvania,. though with different social institutions, are of the same political parallel of moderation on all national questions, and of unwavering fidel ity to the Constitution and the Union.— Pennsylvania is one of the Old Thirteen, and Kentucky is their oldest child—at least their first-born beyond the Allegheny mountains. The beautiful river which washes the shores of Kentucky and on which floats the hiend ly commerce of so many Itnited States, is thrilled of Pennsylvania streams. Fanati cism has not, and never has had, a foot-hold in Pennsylvania, except, perhaps, near the New York line, or on the edge of the Wes tern Reserve, and Kentucky has . never sent a child of her honored soil into the councils of the nation, whose acts or words gave pain, or alienated the hearts of patriotic men, how ever sensitive, either from the South or the North. The candidates thus selected have a high mission. They have immediate constit uencies \ vim have trained them in the school of Constitutional loyalty; and that mission, as I religiously hope, (and for this I look to Mr. Buchanan's ,election with unbounded confidence,) is - Co put an end, by wise and decisive counsel, and by administrative dis cretion, once and forever, to that sectional agitation which has so long afflicted and per plexed this nation. What a priceless bles sing it will be to have an administration for four years, during which, by the mere force of example, no word of acrimony shall be ut tered on the subject of domestic slavery, and the nation's evil passions may be at rest. These, my fellow citizens, are some of the reasons which influence my judgment and conduct now. They are. not meant to be ob trusively uttered anywhere, or to be offen sively,nrged on those who may think differ ently from me. There are other topics rath er relating to the past than to the future I should be glad to speak of, but this is not the fit occasion. On them,. and especially on the anti-republicanism of secret political organ ization, my views are well known, for I spoke them long ago, when, as-now, timid counsel lors advised silence. On all public matters, I am apt to feel strongly and to speak deci sively,- but I have sought in what I have said to-night, to utter no word to give pain or ex cite unpleasant feelinn- '' anywhere. I have tried to feel and speak, on a great question of political interest, as an American public man should think and speak, and from the bottom of my heart, Mr. President and fellow citizens, I thank you for the opportunity you have just given me of speaking out what I really believe will be, if it is not now, the true policy of Philadelphia. Speech of Hon. John L. Dawson We publish below the speech made by Mr. .Dawson, of Pennsylvania, in the National Convention when the nomination of Mr. Bu chanan was announced. It was received with enthusiastic applause, and will be pro nounced by all, when read, most admirably adapted to the place and occasion. It was fit and, proper that he should speak for our Static when success was achieved. He did so as follows : REMARKS OF lION. JOHN L. DAWSON The Hon. John L. Dawson, of Pennsylva nia, said :—Mr. President: The venerable Chairman of our delegation, Gov. Porter, not much accustonied to public speaking, has de volved upon me the duty of expressing our high appreciation of the honor conferred upon our State in the selection of its distinguished. citizen as the nominee of this Convention.— [Great applause.] We arc more than grati fied, that the time has arrived in the delibera tions of this body when the sacrifice of per sonal preferences and predilections becomes a virtue. Ardent attachment to distinguish ed, able and well tried leaders is a noble, char-. acteristic of our people, and is • only to be waived at the call of patriotism and necessity. [Cheers.] In this case that harmony and unanimity which are essential to our action and the surest harbingers of Success, have generously secured this surrender. The chiefs of the Democracy present many honored names, either of whom would worthily have supported the banner upon which are inscri bed the principles to which.we own allegiance. That banner myw reared to be borne by the distinguished son of our own State, [cheers,] the far beaming effulgence of its legend will penetrate the remotest retreats of the land, and quickly rally around it an invincible host filled with the high enthusiasm inspired by a great cause, and by the memory of former triumphs and glories. ((Treat cheering.] ;:•; ; ,k 54? • 40 .1 7 • FT?: f 4;: .fi x,, 4.7 7 :- V.O Mr. Buchanan is a man upon whom all .can-unite, and in doing so there is no expec tation that there will be any withdrawal of the confidence or admiration of those 'whom we pass by. There is not a heart in this Con vention that does not glow with full and grateful recognition of the eminent services to .the Democratic party of Cans, Hunter, Douglas, Bright, Pierce and others, whose names have been mentioned. The first is in deed a mighty name which was long since voluntarily withdrawn from the contest, and whose brilliant . efforts in patriotic devotion to the national interest will forever brighten the pages of our country's history. Tremen dous applause.] In Mr. Hunter we recog nize the model Senator, the distinguished statesman, chivalric son of old Virginia; he has been nurtured in the school of her sages, who laid the foundation and shaped the su perstructure - of the confederacy. [Applause.] The clear-sighted boldness, the skillful battle for the right that has marked the public ca reer of Douglas, would have made him a gal lent leader in the contest, whom we should all have delighted to follow ; [renewed ap plause,] while in Bright we recognize those high qualities that mark the rising statesmen of the west, and see in him the true repre sentative of her gigantic and advancing power. .[Deafening shouts of applause.] The administration of Gem 'Pierce yes no eulogium from me. True to the Con stitution, to the principles and policy of the Democratic party, we say in a spirit of jus tice, "well done good and faithful servant." As Pennsylvanians, the representatives on this floor of -a State which in all the ele ments of greatness we claim, in a spirit of patriotic attachment, as inferior to none in the Union ; one of the old Thirteen, we are proud that the towering greatness of her son has secured to her the - well merited and dis tinguished honor. His nomination is a,guar anty to the country of an administration of the Constitution in its purity with a just regard to all sections, and without partial and. modern constructions of its spirit and pro visions. [Renewed shouts of applause.]— His election will restore confidence, secure peace to a restless people, and kindle anew the fires of patriotism and love of the Union in bosoms where those sentiments had begun to smoulder. He will receive a large and overwhelmingmajority in the Keystone State; a majority demanded by her numerical pow er—consistent with the integrity of her peo ple and their loyalty to the Constitution and. the Union of the States. Her gallant sons will rally from the Delaware to the Ohio ; on the loftiest summit of her mountain range they will fling our banner to the breeze, bearing upon it the inscription of the hon ored name of James Buchanan, our country and the Constitution: and victory as certain as that which attended the American arms upon the immortal battle field of our nation al history, will brighten in letters of living light upon its broad and ample folds, as-it will wave so gracefully and gallantly in tri umph over the land. Hearty and long con tinued applause.] Monument to James Buchanan. Already a few of the most shameless and licentious opposition presses have raised the cry of " ten cent wages." They have clone this to prejudice laboring men against the Democratic candidate for the Presidency.— The Democratic party has always been the guardian'of the interests of the poor. It was to preserve the liberties and protect the rights of the poor, that Gen. JACKSON battled with the rich aristocrats of the country for the overthrow of the United States Bank. In that memorable and glorious struggle, the hero of New Orleans was ably supported by JAMES BUCHANAN. Will any one believe that a co-laborer with JACKSON in that great bat tle foe the poor subsequently advocated " ten cent wages ?" The thing is impossible. None are stupid enough to believe it, though there are a few so knavish as to assert it. But we did not mean to write about wages, either high or low, when we penned the cap tion of this article. We meant to write about a Monument which JAMES BUCHANAN raised to himself a number of years ago, and which is a crushing refutation of the " low wages" slander. Would that men of wealth would stud the whole country over with just such Monuments as that which JAMES BUCHANAN has raised to himself. How much suffering would be alleviated—how many stricken hearts would be made glad—how the poor would rejoice ! In every community there are indigent fe males who eke out a scanty livelihood by the labor of their hands. Many are - widows - with small children dependent upon them for bread. - Their, lot is hard at any season of the year, and when the rigors of winter come upon them, their sufferings are frequently se vere. Poorly fed and poorly clad, and living in uncomfortable tenements, in extremest misery they shivered through the long and dreary winter, without fuel to keep them warm—with scarce enough to cook their scanty meal. Lancaster city had her proportion of des titute women and children. JAMES BUCHAN AN saw their sufferings, and he resolved to do something to alleviate them. He gave iu trust to the Councils of the City the sum of Fire Thousand Dollars, requiring them to safely invest the same and annually forever thereafter apply the interest to the purchase of fuel for the destitute females . of Lancaster. The trust was accepted, and the very next au tumn an enormous pile of Wood rose in the pub lic square. From that pile of Wood the poor were supplied with fuel ; and when the first disappeared, another was reared in its place. If the spring finds it exhausted, the autumn sees it replaced. And thus it will go on till the last trump shall sound ! That pile of Wood, reared by his munifi cence, is JAMES BUCHANAN'S Monument. It is rough and unpolished, and no pompous in scription is wrought upon its Its archi tect lives to receive the thanks or fire recipi ents of his bounty, and when he 'dies his epi taph will be written in their hearts. Gener ation after 'generation-will grow up and pass away, and. the widow and the orphan HUNTINGDON, PA., JULY 2, 1856. Front the ChalnberBhurg Valley Spirit -PERSEVERE.- will bless the noble charity of JAMES BUM AIs:AN. The proud monuments of conquerors who have deluged the world with blood will fall to the ground and crumble to dust, but the unpretending Monument erected by JAMES BUCHANAN Will endure till the End of Time? Poor Man, if a malicious opponent of the Democratic party endeavors to prejudice you against the Democratic candidate by crying low wages," ask him whether he has ever given live thousand. dollars to keep those who are compelled to work at low wages front freezing. Tell him you know where to find a Monument to JAMES BUCHANAN'S Charity, and ask him to point to his. "LOOK. OUT FOR THE LOCOMOTIVE."—AIong our principal railways, at the crossings of turnpikes, and common roads, huge sign boards are erected, bearing ia large letters the caution, "Look out for the Locomotive." Taking a hint from the railway signboards, and having a care for the safety of our polit ical opponents, we reiterate the .caution, "Look out for the Locomotive." The Bu chanan train is motion, and our Know-Noth ing_friends had better keep off the track if they don't want to be crushed. They need not try to get on board. It's a "through train" and won't stop to take up passengers. A QUARTETTE.-It is a fact worth noticing that .three of the most popular Democratic Presidents have' been called James—James Madison, James Monroe and James K. Polk —James Buchanan will make the fourth of the series. The name appears to be a lucky one. The Johns seem to have had a some what similar ran. Two Presidents and. three Vice Presidents have been Johns. It is somewhat probable that we shall have John C. Breckinridge and John C. Fremont on the track together. But we are ready to stake our little pile on James and John united. copy the following from an ex change paper. The reader is under no obli gations to believe it unless he is disposed to do so gratuitously : P.RbanEss.—There is at present in operation near Boston, a jumping locomotive which only touches the ground once in a mile. It is perfectly round, the machinery in the cen tre, and is coated externally with India rub ber. So soon as the patent has been secu red, its proprietor suppgses that thousands of them will be seen "bobbin around" the world, so that to the man in the moon, the earth will look like a big cheese coveredwith 'skip pers." NTno denies that this is really "a fast age ?" THE Mot-xT or OtavEs.—The Mount of Ol ives near Jerusalem, has been purchased by a Madame Polack, the widow of a wealthy banker of the Hebrew persuasion at Konigs burg, in Prusisa. This lady intends to beau tify the place, and improve the whole neigh borhood at her sole expense. The first thing she did was to plant the whole area with a grove of olive trees, and thus restore it to the original state from which it derives its name. Xlw DuTr.—Let him who gropes painful ly in darkness or uncertain light, and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen into clay, lay this other precept well to heart, which to me was of valuable service : Do the duty which lies -nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty ; thy second duty will already have become clearer.—Carlyle. BLEEDING AT TUE LUNGS.-M. Aran con demns the employment of bleeding in this affection, and considers the essence of tur pentine, in 10 to 30 drops every hour, a val uable remedy. Ile speaks highly of gallie acid, in doses of two grains every hour, or ev ery alternate hour. is very rare to find ground which produces nothing; if it is not covered with flowers, with fruit trees, and grains, it pro duces 'briars and pines. It is the same with man ; if he is not virtuous he becomes vici ous.—La Brugere. WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.-A writer in the Harrisburg (Republican) Telegraph has ma de the astonishing discovery that there is some chance of success for the friends of Mr. Be en in Pennsylvania. Astonishing—very! j. It is to the virtues and errors of our conversation and ordinary deportment that we owe both our enemies and our freinds, our good or bad character abroad, our domestic peace or troubles, and in a high degree the improvement of our minds. following scene occurred at a hotel out West about noon time : Traveller—‘e How much do you charge for dinner ?" notal-keeper—"One dollar, sir." Traveller—"Very cheap ! How much for supper?" notel-kceper— `Twenty-five cents." Traveller—"Well, bring me a supper, sir." Some wise man, years ago, said: "If you want to learn human nature, get married to a spunky girl, move in the house with another family, and slap one of the young ones, and then you'll learn it."

What de use oh him lay up treasure dere, where lie nebber no more see um again; eh, nigger." old lady it Pennsylvania had a great aversion to Rye, and never could cat it in any form. "'fill of late," she said, "they have got to making it into whiskey, and I find that I now and then can worry down a little." 1D:79.

THE - MONTH'S WoRK.—As the season is backward much can he done towards having a full supply of vegetables, by the exercise of judicious forethought in the selections of of such varieties of seed as arrive earliest at maturity. This action must, however, re ceive the aid of &Lan and careful culture. The weeds must be kept down—the ene mies exterminated, mid nourishment for tile plants supplied bountifully and at all times when needed. Should the weather come to exhibit any of the peculiarities of the "heat ed term", it is advisable to apply this food in the liquid form. Beets sown this month will ripen by win ter. They will be found more tender and less stringy than those planted earlier. If there are vacancies in the rows already up transplant or deposit fresh seed. The transplanting of cabbages, cauliflow ers, tomatoes, etc., cabbages can now be per formed quite readily. It will be found ad vantageous to dip their roots in mud as soon as they are moved—the moisture thus ob tained enabling them to better withstand heat. The ground in which all vegetables are to be replanted, should receive a thor ough stirring, provided, it is dry enough to pulverize freely through the agency of a spade. Cucumber and melon vines need care fold watering lest the buds foreclose, awl these luxuries take the form of invisibility. At the close of the month the plants will need hoeing and thinning; if the ground is rich, three or four arc sufficient fur the hill. Look over the orchards and destroy the worm nests—eradicate the grass and weeds that may lie growing around the roots of young trees and your• reward shall be "fruit in due sete,:on." Watchfulness is required until the fruit ripens.—Bural New Yorker. PRUNING FRUIT TREES.—The best time for a general pruning is at the close of the first growth of the summer, which is from the 15th of June to the 15th of July. Then the leaves will take care of the flowing sap, and all small wounds may be closed by a coating of tar thickened with brick-dust, applied warm. Gum shellac is good, but is more li able to peal off than the tar mixture. Never cut a limb for the sake of using your tools. The tops of apple trees do not require severe thinning in our hot summers. Nature understands the wants of the trees often much better than the gardener who has had his training under the dripping skies of England. The thick limbs and foli age arc needed to prote et the trunk, the larger branches and time fruit. You will find your fairest specimens in the top of the tree, and partially shielded from the sun's rays by leaves. Very small limbs, a half inch through, that cross each other, or that inter fere with the symmetry of the top, may now be removed, but no general pruning should be attempted.—Agriculturist. Cows:—The Farmers' Magazine says of a prime mulch cow : The head should be small, but rather long and narrow at the muzzle; the eye small, but quick and lively ; the horns small, clear bon ded, and their roots at considerable distance from each other ; neck long and slender, and tapering towards the head, with little loose skin hanging below, shoulders thin, hind quarters large and capacious ; back straight, broad. behind, and joints of the chine rather loose and open—carcass deep, and the pelf is capacious, and well over the hips, with fieshy buttocks ; tail long and small ; legs small and short, with firm joints ; udder capacious, broad and square, stretching forward, and neither fleshy; low hung nor loose ; hair soft and woolly; the head, bones, and all parts of least value small, and the general figure compact and well proportioned. This is such a picture as most would draw of a well-shaped cow, and yet who has ever seen one combining all these points? How many of them are necessary to constitute a deep milker ? and do we not often find a deep milker who has very few of them? We be lieve many a cow is spoiled for the dairy by having been stunted and kept on too scanty food when a calf. Calves should receive vas ample a supply accordingly, and as succulent and nutritious character of food, as a cow in milk. This enlarges and gives full size to the lacteal vessels, strength and vigor to the constitution, and we are confident materially aids to make the full grown cow what we want her to be. Gribbin's tests for a good cow, as shown by the escutcheon, we find are much and in creasingly relied on by 'dairymen. Without being able to understand how they are con nected, or what they have to do with the lac teal secretions, (and which may be like many other matters which we do not understand, but cannot help believing) there is abundant evidence that they generally accompany, and have been fully proved by thousands of far mers to be a sign of deep milking. From our own observations, we know of no tests so reliable, and would advise every dairyman to procure a copy of the work. The value of a dairy cow does not depend entirely'on the amount of her yield, but al so on the times she will go dry. ANIMALS BECOME PARENTS TOO EARLY.- Victor Gilbert never allowed ewes to have lambs until they had passedt their third year; and the bucks were not used until they.had arrived at full maturity. He, as well as many other sagacious stock-raisers, that we might name, are probably conversant with the fact, that during the period of growth and development, up to maturity, the re productive organs are dormant, while at the same time the nutritive function was wholly elaborating in ch yle and blood fur engaged • the development of hone, muscle, and nerve; and that by calling into requisition the re productive or generative organs, before the animal had attained full growth, must ne cessarily divert the elements of matter, in tended for nutrition. front their legitimate channel, and direct theta to the reproductive organs. This is precisely what takes place. A too early use of the purely animal func tion, induces weakness and stunted growth. --Am. Va. Journal. Editor and Proprietor NO. 2. ponteztic °nano!.
