n - *We invite attention to the card
of C. 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'. Tribune, July
The people will discover after a
while what reliance is to be placed on
papers in the service of Slavery. These
all asserted most lustily, that the Ad
ministration was not defeated in New
Hampshire. The session of the'Legis
lature shows that they were badly
'eaten, as they will be in every North
ern State.

RAISE 'ROBE COEN AND CLOVER.
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.

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
