There was a .general suspension of business and religious ex 'crciscs were held in tho churches. •• We call attention to tho advertisement of the Cosmopolitan Art Asssociation, about the only company of the kind that lives up to its promises. With such liberal offers as they advance.no one can loose any thing,and may bo one of the fortunate. Either one of the maga zines is worth the money invested by mem bers. Left fob Washington.—Mr. Todd, mem ber of Congress elect from this district, left Carlisle on Tuesday morning for Washington, to enter upon his duties. Second Lecture of the Course.—The sec ond leclare of the course before the Union Fire Company, will-be delivered at Marion Hall, on Thursday evening, the 6th of December, by William Henry Welsh. Esq., of York. Mr. Welsh is a chaste and finished speaker, and has had cnosiderable experience as a lecturer. Helms selected (or his snbject—“77»c influence of Utilitarianism on Social Lije. We hope to see the Hall crowded to its utmost capacity on this occasion, as a rich intellectual treat may be expected. Good Will Hose Company Fair.—lf we may judge from the zeal and activity of the la dies of our town, in making and preparing ar-. tides for the Fair of the Good Will Hose Com pany, it will certainly be a very creditable af fair. The ladies appointed on the committee of Arrangement arc using commendable efforts in behalf of the enterprise. We arc glad to see this, for our Fire Companies should be liberally encouraged by all uur citizens, and particular ly property holders. The Fair commences, as we stated in our last, on the 241 h of December, and will continue for one week. Mb. M’Clintock’s Lecture.— The first of a series of Lectures for the benefit of the Union Fire Company, was delivered on the evening of the 22d Inst, at Marlon Hall, by Rev, John M’- Custocr, of Carlisle. Subject—” Imprttsions in Europe .” The Hall was filled with attentive listeners, and a largo number of ladies wore in attendance to cheer on the good work with their bright glances and approving smiles. Of the lecture of Mr. M'Clintock wc need ■av but little, for our evidence is not wanting to satisfy the people hero of the speaker’s talents, or the ability with which he treated his subject. Suffice it to say, then, that tho address was not only well delivered, but whs filled with choice historical facts, and a great deal of highly Inte resting information. Wo hope to see these lectures encouraged by oar citizens. But, there is one suggestion wo would make to the gentlemen composing the Union Fire Companj. and that is that they pro hibit the delivery o( political lectin cs. Our people have no desire to pay for hearing Know. Nothing speeches and falsehoods. They had enough of that last winter, and they don't wish a repetition of the dose. TmN SnoßV—Wc always fed prmoked, when weflte, during the fall and winter months, a lady wearing thin shoes. It is a piece of recklessness Wc never could excuse, and yet still persist in tins habit, merely to show ofl their pretty little feet. A summer bird flint has lingered late in the autumn, leav ing its tiny foot-print in the first fall of snow, ever reminds one of that delicate fair one, in light thin slippers, on a cold ice pavement.— The little bird, however, can escape to a warm er clime, and in the spring it can return, but that lady is on that journey from which there is no return. The music of the bird may again gladden its native tree, but her voice will not again chccr the hearth of her home. The badges of sorrow and the slow returning hearse will soon tell what that slipper has done. MANUPACTt’HF.3.— Our citizens should stir themselves to their own interests, by cncoura- 1 ging the location of manufactories in our midst. Labor is the foundation of wealth, as well as progress, in a town. It is true that popula tion is steadily increasing—that strangers arc attracted slowly by the excellent schools, pub lioand private, as well as the beautiful loca tion of the town, but our citizens should not rest satisfied by this slow progress, but exert themselves to add ; to the present sources of pro* gresa those otlnfr 1 important aids which flow from labor-giving crpployments. 'Will not our community tnakO some decided efforts in this diwctittit? * Eorluna;dcpchda upon your own exertions.

This is exceedingly praise wprthy, for nothing is so pleasant and nothing ye bcautcifttl ip ft town as handsome shade trees along. itfio. sidewalks- Wo ; hope tho example trill bi genorally followed by our citizens. Whleh li flit PfltJleged'Ww* Fv The Northern Abolitionists in tho habit of declaring, that the Southern Slave? holders were Uur privileged class In this •'Coun try, on account of the clauao ln the Conbiitur tibn providing that “throc.fiflhs of all other persons,’’ meaning slaves, shall bo; represented in the Congressional apportionment.' The fact appears to be the other way, inasmuch .ns the National Congressional representation, embra ces in itr. apportionment, both negroes and aliens. The Ohio Statesman has a capital arti cle upon this subject, and contends, with much force and truth, that the North enjoyed the same privilege of representation upon the basis of,“three-fifthaof all other persons,” as tho South. In this, wc allude to tho condition of things ns they Were when most of tho Northern States held slaves. But it is not true that the South, even now, enjoys any special privilege over the North in regard to representation.— Wc observe that this subject of representation is the theme of Mr. Seward’s great disunion speech at Albany—and it was the theme of the speeches of Mr. Chaso while on the stump in Ohio. The States of this Union all stand upon an equality in regard to all the privileges of rep resentation and taxation—and there is no p>iv- ilcge extended to the South that was not en joyed by the North when the compromises were made, and which may not now be enjoy ed at the pleasure of the North. But when the Northern States freed their slaves, they became the privileged class, because they thereafter counted all their colored population as a.basis of representation, while the South was entitled to but three-fifths. Ohio now counts all tho negroes within her borders in tho enumeration for members of Congress, while Kentucky counts but three out of five. Is not Ohio tho privileged member 1 But she docs not enumer ate her slaves! No, blit she may, if she will. She acts upon her own violation—there is no special privilege concerning the question. Vir ginia has five hundred thousand slaves, three hundred thousand ol whom are counted in her census, upon which representation in Congress is based. The moment she abolishes slavery, she would be entitled to two more members in tho House of Representatives. The population would not bo changed in character, but the abolition ot slavery would increase her power in Congress, and in Conrtnfioru, of which Mr. Smith complained so bitterly. The North has actually the advantage in this point of view— and wc suppose Ohio has an extra member of Congress based upon this inequality in repre sentation—and we wish it was so. in fact, that Mr. Giddings could be the immediate represen tative of Ibis class. There are no questions relative to (henation al policy of this government so little understood and so lightly appreciated as the compromises of the Constitution upon the subject of slavery, and the relative position of North and South. The war waged by Chase and Seward against the South, is a war upon the compromises of the Constitution —a stab at the wisdom and patriotism of those who framed our glorious Constitution, and made this nation tho light and glory of the World ! The idea of. “human chattels,’ 1 as the Journal has it, being tho ba sis of representation favorable to the South, is a silly humbug, only equalled in wickedness by the hypocracy of those who cry out against the wisdom of our ancestors, aod denounce the compromises of the Constitution. BaEAca or Trcst.—A. correspondent ’ very justly considers this unpunishable offunco worse tliau stealing. It is well known (hat tho poor devil who steals a loaf of bread to keep himself and his family from starving lias (ho severest penalty of an undiscrhninatlng law meted oat to him : but the man who is well to do in tbeworld, and associates with respectable rogues, may dispose of any money entrusted to liis keeping, and there is no redress; it Is a mere “breach ot trust/* and of coarse men are fools to trust one another. Tho difference be tween the two eases is this ? Tho first Is com pelled to steal or die—hcnco the crime; while the latter steals of his own free will, and be cause it is his nature—hence tho respectability ic operation and tho fact that no law exists to punish the operator. It is evident that tho poverty and necessities of the former constitute tho crime, and not tho act of stealing, which'la only tho means of disclosing his griilty condl- tion. The view of tho two eases shows as plain ly as tho noso on the face that onrlegielatlonfs intended especially for tho poorl > Grain Fienna.—Such a luxuriant covering ol the richest greeny os now beautifies tho greater part of the grain fields# has been seldom, If over soon, at this period ot tho year. Tho remarka bly “ growing fall,” lias oven brought forward those fluids put in tmusually late, owing to de lays occasioned by tho excessive amount of raln, In such a manner as to enable the young grain to stand the severity of the coming winter.— The appearance of oil, taken together, is well calculated to fill tho hearts of tho husbandmen with hope for future harvests. Tho high rolo of breadstuff* has stimulated not only to tho sowing of a larger brdadth, but to better culti vation and higher manuring, which, the season 1 favoring, will ensure heavy harvests. Our friend of tho Carlisle Volunteer Is mistaken In regard to the number of persons ap pointed by the Canal Commissioners from Lan ca>(cr county. At Icdst throe, if not four, of tho persons iiarned 1 belong to other counties.-*- They aro merely temporary residents of old Federal Lancaster.” Let justice bo done.— Ifarritburg Patriot. “Lot justice bo done,” Is what wo have been urging upon tho Canal Commissioners for tho last tea years, but our appeal* have always proved fruitless, and wo have made up our mind that “justice’' is tho last thing thought pf by tho Canal Board. Wo say it boldly that tho Southern tier of counties have, on all occasion*, boon shamefully and dishonestly treated. Per haps If tho Dcmocrots in this section were will ing to adopt tho “bargain and sale” gamp, end pledge themselves to use (heir Influence for this man for President, and that man for U« 8.

Tho vnriou? slups-yarfls, arc said to present a scene of much activity. Tub Puksidbnt’s Mb3BAgb.— lt is sold the message of President Pierce is already prepar* cd, but that no copies will be sent abroad for tho newspapers, ns heretofore, in advance of its delivery, at the commencement of the session of Congress. Tho resolution has probably been induced by iho jincortointy in relation to tho organization of the House. '“''TOrifißFifii: tnSiWffiSK' : In Virginia, wh«r<| the voters proclaim, open, ly the names of thdso they wish elected,secret,- oath-boUnd'Know-'Nothipgisin neveritook d£4)V roo' Tho ballot covers treachery, and.thcreis no doubt .but its operation here, contributed materially to Know-Nothing success; Iftfet 1 Under cover of it, members of'tho ‘order re mained hidden from tho world, and, with, fhir exterior, travelled with our candidate for Gov ernor, obtained from him his confidence for the purpose of betrayal. .Others professed friend' ship for Democratic candidates for lower offices,! obtained their money for expenses in seeing and getting out voters, which they used in travell ing and electioneering against them! .Allthis demoralization open voting would prevent.— The argument for the ballot is so weak that a change to open voting is worthy of serious con sideration. Wo like tho following remarks of Sydney Smith on this subject: Tho man who performs what ho promises needs no box. Tlio man who refuses to do what he is asked to do despises the : box.' ■ The liar, who says ho will do what he never means to do, is the only man to whom the'box is-useful; where ballot prevails the other vices look up and think themselves neglected because false hood obtains such flattering distinction, and is thus shielded by the solemn enactments of law.. Old John Randolph, tho American orator, was asked one day at a dinner parly in Lon* don, whether the ballot prevailed in his State of Virginia—“l scarcely oclisyc,” ho said “wo have such a fool in all Virginia’, as to mention even tho vote by ballot; and! do-nof hesitate to say that the adoption of the ballot would make any nation a nation of scoundrels, if it did not nnd them so.” John 'Randolph was right; he felt that it was not necessary that a people should be. false in order to bo free; uni* vcrsal hypocrisy would bo tho consequence of ballot': we should soon say on deliberation what David only asserted in bis haste, that all men were liars. Slave Stampede. —The Norfolk Argus of Thursday learns that a party of eighteen slaves of both sexes, left that city and Portsmouth last week for some Northern port. They arc mostly young, and some of them valuable me chanics, valued at from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars each. It is supposed that they left in an oyster boat. „ Case of Gov, Reeder —The New York Evening Post says a very careful counting of noses in the next Cgonrcss gives a majority of sixteen in favor of admitting Gov, Reeder as the representative from the territory of Kansas in that body, and against the admission of Whitbeld, who brings the certificate of Gov. Shannon. This includes no vole from any Southern State, nor does it include the vote of Valk, Kelley or Havens, of Next York, who will probably vote against the admission of either delegate. Mississippi Thoroughly Democratic. — Tbe Democratic majority in Mississippi for Governor, thus far, is 4,372, and will be m creased, probably, to fire or six thousand. The Democrats have a majority of between thirty and forty, in tho Legislature on joint ballot, which will enable them to elect aD. 8. Senator in place of Stephen Adams the present incum bent, who, it will be remembered, made a K. N. speech during tho session of the late Con* gress. Mr. Adams will have to take a back seat. The whole Congressional delegation from Mississippi »s Democratic. Lake, Know-Noth ing, heretofore re ported ter be fleeted, has ;been defeated by Singleton, Dcm. Good Old Age-— The Valley Spirit says of the BrindleTfomily, residing in St. Thomas, Franklin county, and. consisting of threo sis ters and two brothers, that their united ages on the Ist inst. was 426 years and Tmpnlhs. Their ages respectively are:—Molly, 91: 5; Melchoir, 89: 9; Catharine, 87:2; Jacob, 80: 3; and Eliza; 76:10. They all reside in the same neighborhood. Well Said.— The London Leader commen ces an article in regard to the offleiousness of the English government in matters of foreign concern, with, the. general statement' that “there is no authority that comtalts crimes with so bland a countenance and 80 obstinate a perversity as virtue. It is when wo arc per fectly convinced of our being in the right that we arc the most incorrigible in our misdeeds-’* Col. A.

State Agricultural Society was instituted, it was deemed essential to its progress that one Vice President should bo elected from, cTcry Congressional District, so. that tbrqugh their zeal and influence in every locality, united action 'might bo had on every measure tending-lo its prosperity. That-you zealously devote yourselves to llie duties Im plied by your official position,noone can doubt, who marks the advancement already attained in theoretical and practical agriculture in Penn sylvania, orcontcniplates the numerous coun ty societies that so recently have been establish ed within its herders.: These manifestations, gentlemen, arc not only'credilable to you and the Stole Society, but show; such flattering rc- : suits from first efforts, apd give such promise of increasing support to the landed,interest; .as I might excite in the most, indifferent pqmc. de gree of Siatc pride-and gratulalion. . , - I'Ke progress, however, already made, is hot the beginning of the grand scheme of agricul tural improvement, contemplated by the found ers of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural So ciety. We arc only, ns yet.on the threshold of that vast, storehouKc-r-the soil, whoso> hidden treasures challenge our utmost., efforts: and having pul pur hands to the plough,, it would be criminal, if not unpardonable, to pause or look back—onward and oward in all sincerity, must bo our word and rule of action ! Every advantage gained as well oscviry obstacle overcome, should serve as incentive to, the pro secution of the noble work that is to.be ifccom plishcd. First of all among the appliances accessary to the great'Umlcrtaking, is agricultural cdu> cation, if indeed, it is not the very foundation stone, without, which, no superstructure can,bc raised worthy our cflorta, or commensurate to to the agricultural position and prosperity of the State. You are.aware that.a Fanners’ High School has been chartered, which gave it a name, and that recently it has found a habi tation. Bui. gentleman, its means of support are not provided, except .80 far ns. ten thousand dollars, which the State Society,, is authoris'd to advance towards it. This, will be' inade i qnatc, and further demands upon the treasury [ will tormadc, and of courscrWnl: be responded to in a generous spirit* _ , ■ , In regarding our ways and means. I thought p'f tile expediency of soliciting our fcllow-citi 7.cns to become idle jHcipbcrH, of the Pennsyl vania ofalc Agricultural Society. If one thou sand could be found throughout the State, to enrol themselves at ten dollars each, it would’ cover tljrifirfit instalment to,the Farmers’ High 'School. ’ IWdollfWs m.but,,d ; small pittance, cqmpqred-to the w;callh of thousands,,that re side within the bounds of and surety tHeir patriotism and public spirit can in no other form find a more fitting object ,fbr their display, than thc.ndvanccmcnt of the ag riculture of the country. Even their individual intcrcsis, if properly considered 1 , arc ultimately, if not, directly, connccted with the prptnoliug of , husbandry. , So pervading is fills interest, that neither high nor low, rich nor poor, can escape sympathi/.ing witli its gcpcral condition., I would, therefore, gentlemen, most rcspcct fnlly and earnestly, suggest, the, expediency, of setting ph foot in your several districts, as,|l luvvo dbno jn Philadelphia! subscriptions! foj* Life McmbcndilplnQur State, Agricultural So ciety ; and io remit whatever may Be subscrib ed tq the,Treasurer, with the panics of thesub scribers,' so tlmt‘ the /Secretary may, rpconl them, and transmit certificates to caqh. )Vc who have spent time and money.in, tbo. cause, may.
