C. Martin, in another column. Gerrit Smith has reaigned his feat in Congress, to the great disappoint ment of all l,ii friends. T' Several, distinguished persons arrived in town last week, who seemed to enjoy our quiet village very much. The honorable David Wilmot, one of the strongest men in Pennsylvania. ar rived in Town on Friday evening in company with Judge Knox of the Supreme Court. Judge 'Wilmot, at the earnest solicitation- of the oppo nents of the Douglas outrage, made a deep impression on the minds of near ly all who heard it. In addition to the above, our friend Orlando Lund, Esq., of Ithaca, N. V., one of the best men and one of the most effective Temper ance speakers, arrived on Saturday evening, and we had a good time, sure. Er The brief account of the pro ceedings of the National Division of S. of T., which are published in an other column, will be found exceed ingly interesting. \Ve • regret that the organization is so miteh under the control of old fogies. To admit fe males as risiting members only, is a measure. and will do no good. Might just as well admit them into the churches as visiting members. And then to admit young people from 14 t. ,- ) 1S into the Division, but exclude them fronr voting is an insult which few will submit to. We shall expect the. Order to lose in interest, until wi-x and more liberal councils pre vail ; nod until this change takes place, the ordor of Good Templars will ab sorb the greatest portion of the Tem perance forces wherever it is intro duced. The most important pi6ce of overseerism ever attempted in this village, was, the attempt of a few men oa the Fourth of July to control the town, and saY what should and what should nut be done. These men were few in numbers, and with one or two exceptions, belonged of the standing Committee of the Administration party of this county. One of the exceptions was a brainless 61avite from 'Warren COMA)", W3lO would like to pass for an editor, but hat not been aide to find any ono hereabouts as yet. Pretty subjects these to assume control of Coudersport, to say that one scit may fire eamion, and tbrow lire-ball to the great dangcr of life and property, but another tiet shall not do what they think is apPriipt hate, although no prop erty is likely to be endangered.. We only say to these overseers, that this not a slave plantation ; you cannot filight en freemen with your silly threats et violence; and until the people of Coudersport ask you to act as their masters, you had better not undertake the business. For ourselves, we un derstand our rights, and will exercise them, whenever we think proper, without asking leave of hunker lead ers, or scurrilous slanderers, who have not been in the place long enough to grow a cabbage head to keep company with the one on their shoulders. NEW liotrenutt: stands firm. The House had &even more ballots yesterday titr U. S. Senator, but without a choice. At this stage of the proceedings 0 motion was nut& for an indefinite postponement, which was adopted by a rote of 109 to 147. A motioa to recons Alder the vote was neg aired by a vote of to 141. So the Senatorial question is settled for this session. The, case now goes over to the Pcop:e, who y. ill he likely to do justice in the premise , . V. e - very gia.ty invoke their dictin.—N. I'.

We have desired for smile time ':.to have i little free talk with our farreeri, but felt some . delicacy on the subject, till within a few days. The very seri ous damage to the hay crop from tfie• unusual drought, must make any sug gestions that have the tippearance of sense and candor.acceptible. It seems to us, our farmers err greatly in relying almost entii•elf on the hay crop to winter their stock.— Admit that . grass is a natural product of the country, that it scarcely evdr fails, and yet is auscepible Of easy proof that much more profit would be se cured to the farmer by plowing up a portion of his Meadow, and planting it witch corn, which has become a sure and profitable crop in this county if well attended to. Just look around you, at the dark and heavy 'blades of corn, which in spite ofan unprecedented drouth, have grow'n luxurantly, doing all it can to supply bread for . your flunilies, and fodder for your cattle, and say if it Would not be wise to cultivate more freely the generous crop. Most of the oldey farmers arc in, a condition' to substitute the Cultivator for the hoe, and with this indispensible imple ment of the good farmer; four times the quantity can be attended to, after planting, than can be hoed. We also notice that the clover fields are not so badly dried up as the com mon meadow ; and hence we think the clover crop might be increased to the great advantage of the farmer. If the severe drouth of the present year, shall set our friends to thinking how they can but avoid such losses in the future, we think the experience may prove a profitable lesson, but if they ,hall murmur and complain, and do nothing to nard against a like oc- currence, of course they again suffer greatly front dry weather, for all coun tries are suhject to that. Try a revolution of crops Plough up those dry meadows,'where no grass grows, and we are very confident the dry weather \\•ill not seriously efrect the products of your tams. A Nom.i. JURY.—We understand, unofficially, that a Grand Jury has refused to find hills against Bev. Theodore Parker, Wendell Philips, Dr.'S. G. Howe and others, for sedition, or for aiding in the slave riot. The Jury could not be urged or coaxed into it. A government officer has often, in other places, advocated the doctrine that Juries are judges of the law as well as the facts: And in t h e eas e s which have lately been brofight to the notice of a Grand Jury, they have rot , lowed this doctrine, although the saute advo: rate argued the reverse to them. It is said some curious swearing before the - Jury referred to. It was of such a character, that it was not generally believed by the ju rors, hence no bills.—Sanday News, Jose 25th. Those Juries are the horror of slaveholders and their tools at the North, as they have always been to Despots in every country. The following from the Boston Com montrealtic.shows that - it is no limit of the Pierce administration that freedom. of speech in Boston i not ."crushed out:" Speaking of Mr. Hallett'.: endeavor: to get • the speaker, at the Fancuil Hall meeting indicted for misdemeanor of resisting the; officers of the United States, Edmund Quincy says in a letter to the A. S. standard :—" No account: have. as vet reached 'its from the poutratia of the Grand Jury Room. There nre rumors that the eminent patriot just mentioned, who has signalized himself by twice hindering the purchase of poor Brum' freedom, has been heard to say that 'he could do nothing with that d—d Grand J ' " This, in 'connection Nvith the raving of the Attorney General, that be will incarcerate C. M. Booth of the Mil waukie Frce Democrat unless he be comes an exile, shows the despotic temper of the administration. STrSTAINING THE LAWS The Baltimore Sun has a letter front linu sas, dated June Nth, from a correspondent who is spoken of by that paper as "an oh serving, intelligent, and judicious man, not ultra in his pro-slavery views." The letter gives the proceedings of a " claim associa tion," organized on that day, within tree mites of a fort of the United States, which decl trod that slavery already exists in Kansas, and that they would "afford do protection to abolitionists as settlers in Kansas." The cor respondent adds: " According to these resolutions. abolition ists or freesoilers would do well not to stop iu Kam.as Terrilory, but keep on , up the Missouri river until they reach Nebraska Ter ritory, where they can rmicefully make claims and establish their abolition and freesoil tre thins ; for if they do, they will be -respect luny notified that but one day's grace will be allowed fur them to take up their bed and" : baggage and walk." Of course. "there will be no slavery in the territories," at all! It looks like it, "to a man up a tree !"—Pittsburg Dispatch - Of course those men who 'were hor ror struck that the people of Boston should obstruct the free course of the slave catchers, will denounce the trai torous designs of these squatters on the soil of Kansas, who have under taken to force freesoilers from that I Territory. The admirers of the fugi- I tive slave bill hereabouts, have most probalAy -overlooked the attempt a these -slarelioldng rioters to make Ran aas al. slave State by foree,_As soon as they' diScover the unlawitil attempt, we may expect our hunkeis will come -out-with a manifesto in favor Of sus taining he laws of the land, because,. aS•conistent men, they can do nothing else. Well, we shall see. Don't say I anything about bell tolling to them, though, as that is a crime of such enormity, that the hare mention of it, might drive et•erything else out of their heads. HON. DAVID WI.I2IOT'S SPEECH.. ,The Hon. DAVID WILMOT spoke to a large audience. in the new Court House on Monday evening last. He first went back to the foundation of this Government, and showed" by the teachings of the Fathers that the early policy of the Government was the gradual and final extinction of Slavery in this übli c ; but that that policy had been departed froM, and the teachings of the , men of the Revoliition,the founders of the Govern ment, were no longer regarded. The cause of this was that the country had been ruled by an Aristocracy; and the existence and power of this Aristoc racy he showed in a clear and con vincing manner. Power, said he, was all that created an Aristocracy, and that in all countries this had enabled it to trample down the rights of the people. - Titles and badges of dis tinction were nothing. The power of the Aristocracy of the Old World consisted iii the unity of interests of a certain Class. InEngland,they owned the greater portion of the soil, and their interests were identical. What affected one, affected all ; and that, standing by their common interest, they always acted in concert, and hence were able to administer the affairs of the Government of the country. The slaNeholders of the. South were an AristOciacy, bound together by the same strong ties of a common interest ; but in a manner, the magnitude . of which was without a parallel in the tion of the' ulti . vated soil of the South- ern States, and possessing a common interest in a capital of fifteen hundred „millions rf dollars in the blood, bones, and sinews of their fellow men. When you touched the - interests of one slave holder you touched the interests of all. That this common interest had ever 'made the South act in unity; and that thereby they had been enabled to con trol the Federal Gdvernment,--to tate to the North—to create a revolu i tion, which had entirely subverted the ' original policy of the Reliublic. In-- stead of Slavery being regarded as an evil, -to be got rid of at the earliest period, as it was by WASHINGTON, MONROE, PATRICK" HENRY, JEFFERSON-, and others of the Fathers, it was now. boldly declared by the leading men of the South to lie the corner-stone of our Republican institutions,—right, sanc tioned by the Bible, and approved of Heaven. The early policy of the Fathers sought to restrict Slavery to the limits it then occupied, as was shown by the Jefferson Proviso, the writings and expressed opinions of distinguished men of that day, and by the hard-keight battle on the ad mission Of •Missonri into the Union with a Slave Constitution,. andl which resulted in the united strength of *the Slave Aristocracy of the South driving the representatives of the North from their original and long-contested rfosi ; tion of not admitting that State unless its C-Onstitution was first so altered as to effect the speedy abolition of Slavery within its limits.- The South forced upon the North an arrangement known as that of the Missouri Compromise. The North was nearly unaninfous its opposition to this arrangement—the South nearly unanimous in favor of it. And now, after. the people of every section of the Union had acquiesced in this arrangement for the period of thirty years, and without a complaint from any man; without a public meet- • ink being held; without a press of the land favoring it, or a petition being presented , asking for it, in the secret Committee room of the Senate, through the influence of the South, a bill is hatched up for the repeal of this Corn-• promise measure, that declared all the territory North of 36 deg. 30 min. to be forever free, and throw this vase country. open to Slavery. In spite of the prayers, petitions, and earnest remonstrances of the entire people of the Northvale Slave Aristocracy forced through this iniquity:: When the Aris tocracy otT--England , were appealed to by the great Commons, and the ap-, peal persisted in, for the einactinent of any great, measure;they . dare not to far disregard public -Opinion .as to withhold it: But the Slave Aristocracy cared not for public opinion—heeded not the •petitions of the people;; but were are as immovable as adamant to the appeals of humanity and justice, forcing through whatever measure that subserved the -interestsof Slavery. We were more powerless under the Slave Power, than the people of the Old World under the government of its Aristocracy. For his part, if he bad got, to be oppressed, let it be by an Aristocracy dating back for -then sands of years, hallowed by theian tiquities of' the past, venerable . frOrn ,its long line of ancestors, and otte that, though it oppressed him, was liberal in its patronage of the arts, that em bodied the beautiful and sublime, and called forth from the hand of genius impersonations of the perfect and beautiful, for him to look upon, and to . be inspired by their refining and enno bling inflitences. He preferred to be oppressed by such ad AristocracY, than by one that had no redeeming ' qualities to compensate him . for the loss of liberty, if - compensated -he conk! be, than by the Aristocracy of this country, whose very relation as masters makes them tyrants, -coarse, 'and overbearing. The Slave Power would keep no faith with the. North where its interests- were not to be pro moted thereby. The Nebraska Fraud had been perpetrated, when but two years before the two great dominant parties, of the country, controlled by the South, had met in Convention and resolvtd that there should be an end to • the agitation of the question of Slavery, and had backed up - this re solve by threats of proscription if any Man dared to reopen it again. To effect it, the Government of the coun try had been prostituted, and the honor .and dignity of public _men bought up at a price: tie was opposed . to all great monopolies, and above all the Slave mouo_poly, which seriously en dangered the stability of our free in stitutions. To unite and resist its unprincipled encroachments, was the ditty of the men of the North. He knew of no other issue now before the country but that Of Freedom and . Slavery. It was the bight of folly for sensible men, agreeing on. this one and only vital queition, to longer act in opposition to one another, because they' had once differed upon certain questions of public policy long since settled, and obsolete. Whether a man was called a Whig or . a Democrat, should make no difference as long as he. was known to be right on this great question. If men would think and act for themselves, and not" be led by the wire-pullers of party, they would generally act right; As for himself, he cared not by what. name they calle'd him; lie should act his honest convictions; he should not fol low party lead, that required him as Kann as landerl one platform Of principles,. to mount another—donble and twist Under,' —talk of reading him out of the party—the people should read Presidents from the White }reuse. - In fine, his whole speech abounded . in argument, wit, and sarcasm--cheer ing to men of the Jefrersonian faith, and overwhelming and cutting the cringing, fawning sycophants of Slave ry: ' :Here we have au Honorable Judge bearing testimony — to the fact that the Slave Power is a despotism similar to despotisms in other countries, only worse iii its nature. That we are governed by this despotisM cannot be gainsayed. The upholders and supporters of the Slave Power are the supporters of a despotism; and all their pretensions of defending the lib erties of their . country amount to nothing.' We have long declared that there was but one issue before the American people:—whether Slavery shoUld be the law of the land, or Liberty. For this we have been denounced as fanat ics, disorganizers, had applied to us every opprobrious name that the inge nuity of the Slavists could coin from the -English language. But thanks to God,, the people of lite North begin to see'that what has been called the wild ravings ; of fanaticism, is truth, demonstratect Icy-events. And still the .tools of the ; Slave Power in answer to the earnest appeals of :Freemen to‘resist the en croachmsds of Slavery, cry•fanaticism, .delusion. In the name of Heaven, what has been a greater delusion than the confidence which ineri have been led to place in the geed faith of the South, and its friends Northi Who hayetriedto delude the people - like the filavites -of this country? In evi dence of this, take'the pretended op position to the Nebraska bill, made by the hunkers of this - county: As soon as the bill was passed, they declared themselves in favor of it, which is sufficient,' evidence that they never were opposed to it, nor anything else the Slave Power saw fit to do. In evidenc . e r ( . )f the way in which the hunker democracy have deluded the , country,: look at the manner in which the original policy of tl&Government has been subverted---changed from a free to ja slavery-supporting - Govern me at, and this while these denouncers of fanatics and traitors were on each Fourth of July lauding the f .under s of our institutions and theii principles. We trust that the people of this connty will mark these brawling patriots, and shoW them by their votes that their falseness and trickery is discovered, and that men will no longer submit to it. The valiant Donguixotes here abouts, who got so terribly excited on the Fourth, and unkr that excitement performed such ass-tonishing feat's, unequalled in the annals of chivalry, (except one instance : the fight with the wind-mills,) would make the people believe that the young men who tolled) the bell of the Court House on the -Fourth, are as igmwailt and as easily hood Winked as themselvei. Because they, (tire Dons) in their patriotic ebullitions on the Fourth, felt so weak in the knees that their• Sauchos were called upon to hold them, it is asserted that one of the Publishers of this paper, who believes in the dignity of labor, and is not ashaMed to engage in any honorable, upright work, is 'so weak - tout ,Inexperienced that he is incapable of knowing right and wrong• and - in referring to-him, 'call him "the boy who.carries the papers," as though carrying papers was an indication of weakness. Perhaps- they got this idea from the fact that h certain Edit sometimes called Judge, was fOrmerly in the habit of carrying papc;rs, and had many Nveaknesses. However, we are of opinion that can ying papers was not one of them, as in this he showed a spirit of manliness and dig nity which loOks above the silly idea of any honorable avocations being low and inferior. We wonder what has become of the men (?) who wa.3, "in his youthful simplicity, just in the dawn of life." lES the fledgling survived, and conic nut-of that precari,;us con dition? f.

In one town only two pel;sons have refused to sign; one was the Pi . erce Postmaster, and the other "an awful had i:pecimen of the liquor traffic." - "You can't legislate to make men moral;" is an oft-repeated assertion of rhose who oppose a prohibitory law. yery true, good friends. But this objection is just as valid against any other law. Why pass laws against murder, robbery, piracy and counter feiting?, Because Government has a right to enact laws to restrain and punish those who transgress—a right to protect the governed, from aggres sions of this kind. Rumsellers war upon our homes and families, and, although we do not expect that a pro hibitory law will change their natures, and make "respectable" men of them —yet we have faith to believe that it will: shut• up rum boles, and punish the violators of such a law just as the laws against theft takes care of theives. . 7 - 7 Cayeiga Chief.
