The Sunday Law Question
MR. LEWIS :—ln the last issue of the Hun
tingdon Journal there appears an article
headed " THE SUNDAY Law," in which a very
invidious distinction is drawn between the
two candidates for Assembly in this county.
Although my name does not appear in this
connexion, and no positive charge is made
against me, yet, it is- very evident from the
tenor of the article, that it is sought thereby,
to impress the public mind with the notion
that I believe " There 18 no God"—that I
have no regard for the Sabbath day, and have
"no conscientious scruples against abolishing
the day of rest."
If my inclination was my only rule of
action in this matter, these charges would
remain unnoticed—preferring to let my life
• and actions refute or confirm these and all
other accusations. Yet, being a candidate
before the people of the county for the im
portant position of Representative, I believe
it is due to those of my fellow-citizens who
incline to give me their support, and to the
people, whose servant I would become, if
elected, to thus early and promptly meet
these imputations.
Then, I write against all these accusations,
whether orally expressed, or promulgated
through the medium of the press, the word
false. To believe " There is no God," I
could not if I were to try. No man—not
even my particular friends who are so anx
ious to give improper color to my religious
opinions—believes more firmly in the exis
tenceof a Supreme Being—his Omnipotence,
Omniscience and Omnipresence, than myself.
With regard to the Sabbath—l have not the
most remote inclination for its abolition. On
the other hand, I do awl would zealously pro:,
test against its violation receiving public
sanction. If a member of the Legislature,
my vote and acts would always favor pre
serving this day inviolate.
Further, although 1403 not a member of
any religious denomination—holding the de
vout members of all sects in high and equal
esteem—though I do not don - the invulnerable
-garb of religion to hide my deformities and
conceal my short-comings, and by its pure
character ride into public favor—l do, and
have always, venerated the worship of our
.common Parent. Then, henceforth, any man
,who proclaims - me a disbeliever in the exis
tence of God, an enemy of the institution of
the Sabbath, or a reviler of religion, BEARS A
LIE UPON lIIS LIPS.
It is to me a subject of regret that I am
compelled thus to occupy so much space with
an exposition of my private sentiments—
which no man had a right to question—yet
this course seemed to be demanded and I am
neither anxious nor 'Ailing to shirk any res
ponsibility or duty, or evade any issue.
As your readers well know, I am a candi
date before the people—am willing to be
measured by the Jeffersonian standard—sat
isfied that my acts in a public capacity shall
be examined by the public in an impartial
manner—and then, if fairly and honorably
defeated, no person in the county will render
a more hearty Amen to tho verdict of the
people than J. SI3IPSON AFRICA.
THE BROWNSVILLE TIMES.—The first num
ber issued since this establishment has
changed into the hands of our young friend
R. B. Brown, is before us, and after a care
ful examination, we give it as our candid
opinion, that no young man ever gave a more
promising first impression. If the Democra
cy of Fayette county fail to give Mr. Brown
a liberal support, they will not deserve a po
litical victory at any time.

Our State Debt.
The Pottsville Miners' Journal quotes the
paragraph from the Evening Bulletin, relative
to the State advertising for a quarter of a
million of its bonds, and adds:
'We find the above gratifying intelligence
in several exchanges, and publish it, as a sig h
nificant commentary upon the course persued
by the enemies of Governor-Packer in this lo
cality. Thbre can be nothing inure convin.:-
lug of the wisdom and patriotism of the Gov
ernor than the results flowing from his en
couragement of the passage of the law pro
viding fur the disposal of the balance of the
public works remaining in the hands of the
government when he assumed the reins.—
The main line had been sold during the ad
ministration of Gov. Pollock, and the residue,
always considered a burthen to the State, it
was thought, could not be sold for anything
like cost. By a system of management which
no one could understand except those who
'were behind the scenes, it was made to appear
that portions of the works were largely profit
able, yet year after year heavy appropriations
had to be made to keep them up, absorbing
the public revenue, and rendering an oppres
sive tax fur State purposes positively necessa
ry. Since these yearly appropriations have
not been the fashion, it has been found un
necessary to collect so heavy State tax, and
consequently that duplicative has been already
considerably reduced. As each million of
the State debt is cancelled the amount raised
to pay interest is rapidly reduced, so that
within the life-time of a middle-aged man of
to-day it may not be necessary to levy a State
tax at all. inasmuch as the State debt bein , .
all paid off, other sources of revenue will be
found amply snihcient to cover all the expen
ses of government.
This is something for the tax-payer to re
flect upon. The amount heretofore necessary
to be raised- annually to pay the interest on
the publio.debt, has been about two millions
of dollars. The public works had accomplish
ed their mission: The State did right in
building them, and, the time having arrived
to do so, it was right to dispose of them at all
hazards.. Rival public improvements were
springing up. Each distinct locality claimed
the right to be improved, and it seems Provi
dential that the most unproductive parts of
the State works should be kept until their
sale could be made to further the completion
of the grandest through railways in the coun
try. Governor Packer is a Susquehanna man.
He understands the people of north-western
Pennsylvania, and he can appreciate the ad
vantages to be derived by the State at large
from the completion of the Sunbury & Erie
Railroad. That he should favor the comple
tion of that vast improvement was most nat
ural, and that mode adopted, in providing for
the rapid extinguishment of the State debt,
proves his sagacity and fitness for high and
responsible positions.
The attacks of a venal partizan press and
a reckless unscrupulous squad of politicians
he has treated with disdain. his conduct
will stand the test of time, and he challenges
the closest scrutiny into all his public acts.—
Posterity will thank the Democratic party of
1857 for elevating a man to the gubernatorial
chair who had nerve sufficient to enable him
to accomplish a great public good in spite of
the opposition of' those interested parties who
were bound to misconstrue him.
The administration of Governor Packer, as
practically beneficial to the State, will be
marked in history.. He has done, and is do
ing what othors might have accomplished,
Pennsylvania Agriculture.
The preparations for the Ninth Annual
Exhibition of the Pennsylvania State Agri
cultural Society, to be held in this city, on
the grounds northwest of the Market-street
bridge, on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of
September, are rapidly progressing, and the
exhibition promises to be an eminently suc
cessful one. The list of premiums is very
large and liberal, as it embraces fifty-four
classes of articles, and quite a large number
of different specimens in each class. Thus,
inducements are held out for the display of
nearly every article of agriculture or of do
mestic manufacture produced in our State;
and all who feeLa laudable pride In their
products will_ have an'cipportunity of testing
their excellence by a comparison with the nu
merous articles which will doubtless be placed
on exhibition, and of haying their superiority
attested and confirmed by appropriate premi
ums if they merit them. •
Pennsylvania almost possesses at this - day
the first rank among the Agricultural States
of the Unoin. She is certainly, we think, en
titled to claim a position as the second agri
cultural State, and if her natural advantages
are properly developed,. we believe that .she
can become the first, and permanently hold
that rank against all competition.
According to the census of 1850, but three
States of the Union, New York, Ohio, and
Virginia, had a larger number of acres of im
proved land, and in but one State, New York,
was the cash value of farms greater than in
Pennsylvania. The value of farming imple7
ments and machinery in our .State was also
much larger than in any other except New
York. But two States, New. York and Ohio,
exceeded us in the number of horses and cat
tle. Our product of wheat was greater than
that of any other State in the Union, being
15,367,691 bushels ; while that of Ohio, which
ranked next, was 14,487,351 bushels, and of
New York 13,121,498. Our product of rye
was also greater than that of any other State,
being 4,805,160 bushels, while that of New
York was 4,148,182 bushels. Our product of
oats was 2.1,538,156 bushels, being much great
er than that of anyother State except New York,
which was 26,552,814 bushels. Our product of
Indian corn exceeded th at of New York, but fell
far behind that of Alabama, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri,
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.—
Our prodUct of buckwheat was 2,193,692
bushels—a much greater quantity than that
produced by any other State except New
York, which yielded 3,183,955 bushels. Our
hay crop amounted to 1,842,970 tons—a much
larger product than that of any other State
except New York, which yielded 3,728,797
tons. Our product of cloverseed was 125,030
bushelsa larger quantity than any other
State produced. Our product of butter amoun
ted to 30,878,418 pounds—a much larger
quantity than any other State produced ex
cept New York, which yielded double the
amount. The produce of our market gardens
was more valuable than that of any other
State except New York. In the quantity of
wool produced, we fell behind only two States
—New York and Ohio.
Thus it will be seen that in nearly ail the
agricultural products of the Northern States
we ranked very high—that we far surpassed
all. of the States except New York and Ohio,
and, on a general average of the value of farms
and their products, Pennsylvania was second
only to New York, which had, then nearly
4,000,000 more of acres of improved land
within her b'ders, and about 500,000 acres
more of unimproved land, than Pennsylvania.
New York has long been famous for her
numerous agricultural societies, and we do not
doubt that they have exercised a great influ
ence in stimulating her farmers to increased
exertion ; but Pennsylvania is very little be
hind her in agricultural products, and, if the
natural advantages of our State are properly
developed, she may yet be enabled, notwith
standing the inferior number of acres of land
she possesses, to outstrip the Empire State.
We know of no race of men more thrifty
and industrious than the farmers of Pennsyl
vania, and one of the most beautiful sights
in the world is the bounteous evidence of fer
tility and agricultural skill Which is presen
ted in the bosom of any of our numerous
flourishing agricultural counties. But most
of our farmers are plain, modest, unpretend
ing men, not at all given to the practice of
making displays, or of blowing their own
trumpets, and hence the world sees or hears
little of their skill, or of the large products
of their farms, unless it is enlightened by
the records of the census, or the presence of
their crops in the markets.— The Press.
A Fight with a Bear
The following facts of a fight with a bear
were furnished the Tyrone Star by a corres
pondent, writing from Oceola, Clearfield co.,
Pa., under date August 25th :
"Two of our Citizens (G. A. Westbrook
and David Coulter,) started out the other
evening, to watch a deer:lick. After they
had proceeded a short distance from town,
they parted—Westbrook taking one side of
a hill, and Coulter the other—with the in
tention of meeting at the lick. Shortly af
ter they had parted, Westbrook saw three
cub bears, which he treed and killed ; but
while he was despatching them, the old she
bear made her appearance, having her 'back
up' considerably at this .wanton destruction
of her family. Unfortunately for Westbrook,
his gun was empty, and the bear wouldn't give
him time to load ! Here was a pleasant (?)
predicament indeed, for a nice young man'
to be in. He soon saw, however, that his
only chance was to fight the bear with his
knife, and at it he went, in good earnest, and
came off conqueror, but not without getting
somewhat used up' in the scrimmage:—
Coulter hearing the shots from Westbrook's
gun, concluded to go and ascertain the cause.
lie found the old bear and three cubs all
dead, and Westbrook very much cut up,
though no seriously injured; the clothes
were nearly all torn from his body, and one
of his arms was badly lacerated ; however,
he is now rapidly recovering, and it is really
laughable to hear him tell of the fight. He
has the bear skin nailed up against the side
of his house, and no money, I suppose, could
buy them, as lie intends to have a sleigh
robe made of them. This man George A.
Westbrook, was formerly a citizen of Hun
tingdon, Pa.
The hunters about here say that bear
are plenty in this county this fall, and we
have heard of several panthers being seen
around here, but as - yet none of them have
been captured.
ger The full Democratic ticket, including
the State and County officers, will be printed
at this office, and ready for distribution in a
few days.

Extensive and Rascally “Sell."
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—One of the most suc
cessful efforts at rascality ever heard of, was
brought to light yesterday, in this city. It
appears that a sharper in Philadelphia ad
vertised for a number of young ladies to go
South to fill situations as teachers of music.
Fifteen young women were accepted by the
advertiser. They were to have remunerative
employment in the families of wealthy South
ern planters, and in every respect their fu
ture prospects were of the most flattering de
scription. It was simply stipulated by the
advertiser, that the ladies should defray in
part their expenses to their respective desti
nations. On arriving in this city en route
for the South, the sharper took charge of the
baggage of the ladies, collected from them
about one hundred and fifty dollars for their
fare in the steamboat, and while they were
waiting patiently at the hotel for him to con
duct them on board, he decamped with his
plunder.
WASHINGTON Sept. 3."---The soundrel who
recently brought from Philadelphia to New
York fifteen young ladies, under the pretence
of taking them down south as school and mu
.sic teachers, and then robbed them of their
money and baggage, was arrested here by
Chief of Police, Goddard and Lieutenant of
Police McHenry. He was recognized as
Hiram P. Leslie, heretofore temporarily em
ployed as a laborer in the Patent Office. •
Some of our town citizens had been swin
dled by him. His valise contained a large
number of letters from various parts of the
country, the contents of some of which show
that he has traveled south, and was extensive
ly engaged in dishonest schemes. He has a
wife living in Washington.
Two large travelling trunks claimed by him
are at the express office, and are supposed to
contain many valuables belonging to his vic
tims. He has been committed to await the
requisition of the Governor of New York.
Leslie had no person with him when arres
ted. He took lodgings last night with his
wife at her residence. There is no proba
bility that any of his victims came South
with him.
A Lost Child Starved to Death in the
Forest
The National of Wednesday , last, pub
lished in Lima, Allen county, Ohio, relates
the melancholly particulars of the loss in the
forest, four miles from that town, of the little
daughter, aged six years, of a Mr. King,
whose fate was not known for nine days, and
then her dead body was found_ The child,
it appears, went out with several other
children to a field, and started alone to re
turn to the house, when it missed its way,
and became lost in a dense woods. The /Nit
tional says :
The people of Putnam county, from all
parts of the county, turned out day after day
to search for it, and traversed the whole
woods for eight or nine miles around, during
the whole nine days, by four or five hundred
per day. On the ninth day it was found
within two miles from where it had first
strayed, naked and dead, lying on its belly
over two logs, as if it had fallen and was too
weak to get up again. Its little bonnet was
hung on a limb, and also its frock and clothes.
Perhaps the little one thought of going to
bed, or, more probably, hung up its clothes
to dry after the heavy storm of Thursday
night before it was found. It had built play
houses to while away its lonliness in the wild
woods, and had sucked off the fallen timbers
for yards the moss, for sustenance. It had
waited for its mother and father's coming to
take it home for many days, and had played
in the hope of their coming; but they could
not find it, though so near to them.. When
found, it had evidently died within a few
hours ; the body had undergone no putrefac
tion. The poor mother, we learn, has nearly
lost her reason—and no wonder I Those
nine days of terrible and soul-harrowing sus
pense, who can conceive it for her !
L 0 CAL COR.RESP 0 2.ITDE,.VCE
PETERSBURG, Sept. sth, 1859.
MR. EDITOR was my good fortune to
be one of the favored guests at a celebration
of the Barree Forge Sabbath School, on Sat
urday the 3d., inst., and knowing what
pleasure you take in publishing items of lo
cal interest, I have concluded to give you a
brief description of the exercises of the day.
The school, which by the way, is one of no or
dinary interest, met between the hours'of 9
and 10 at their accustomed place of worship,
and after singing a hymn, formed in proces
sion and proceeded a short distance from the
school house to the ground which had been
prepared for the occasion. After all had
been snugly seated, we were informed by the
president (Gen. Green,) that there was to be
a display of Young America, which he as
sured ps would be interesting and gratifying.
He then called upon Josiah Hicks, who was
followed by his brother, Owen Hicks. These
lade are members of the school, and of more
than ordinary promise . . These were followed
by an address by the Rev. Samuel Creigh
ton of Altoona. As the hour for partaking
of that which is more palatable to the young
than speeches, had arrived, we were dismis
sed from the stand by an invitation to the ta
ble—an invitation that we felt no hesitancy
in accepting. The table bore the evidence
that the ladies of the locality know exactly
how to do the clever thing in providing for a
feast. Provisions, which were of the very
best quality, had been provided in such pro
fusion as to be enough for the multitude and
to spare.
After having done justice to this part of
the exercises, which was not by any means
the least agreeable, we were called together
again to listen to a speech from the Rev. Mr.
Crist, of Birmingham and one from the Rev.
Mr. Still, of Huntingdon. We forbear com
menting upon any of the speeches, as our time
will not admit of thus noticing all of them,
and to notice a part would be doing injustice
to the rest.
The day was spent most agreeably and
we shall not soon forget the good taste and
hospitality of the people of Barree Forge,

Philadelphia, April 1 ith, 1856.
Messrs. EVANS & WATsox—Gentlemen—lt affords us the
highest satisfaction to state to you, that owin g to the very
protective qualities of two of the Salamander Safes which
we purchased of you some few months since, we saved a
large portion of our jewelry, and all our books, papers, &c.,
exposed to the mlainitous fire in Ratistend Place, on the
morning of the 11th instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were located in the
fourth story of the building we occupied, and that they
fell subsequently into a heap of burning ruins, where the
vast concentration of heat caused the brass plates to melt,
we cannot but regard the preservation of their valuable
contcuts as most convincing proof of the great security
afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure in recommending them to
men of business as a sure reliance against fire.

TE in CAL SCIENCE.
The history of "IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TEttS," the most remarkable medicine of the day and
the many cures that have been performed with it inVases
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, riEnvous DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among the most astonishing discoveries
that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their own families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public commendation. It is a fact that, in the
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
are called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes
timony to support it as Hootland's German Bitters? Phy-
sicians prescribe it. Why should you discard it? .Tudges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in,
their own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it: why should
not you! Let not your prejudice usurp your reason. to
the everlasting injury of your health; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters arc prepared and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son. No. 418 Awl' stiect, Philadelphia, Pa., and lay drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in, tha
t:Ml.3d States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America,
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of C. 3F.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.
