R. G. WHITE, President.
Seeritarie4. •
The above resolution was adopted
at an Anti-Nebraska meeting held at
Wcllsborough, Tioga Co., J uly 6. -
Similar resolutions have been adopt
e I at nearly every antiNebaraska meet
ing that liar; been held since the pas
itago of that bill. It is the language
of erery earnest opponent of the re
peal of the Missouri Compromise.
We commend it to the attention of
theanti-„Nebraskal old line Democrats
of this County, and ask them to heark
en to the advice of their Wellsborough
associates, with Judge White at their
head, rather than to the mere party
men of this County, who aro seeking"
to keep thenr supporting the machin
ery that forced through the Kansas
hill in dt L fiance of the people's will.
Listen to the counsels of your associ
ates in Maine, who have abandoned
their party and united with the friends
of freedom of all parties.
0n the tlnirth of July last, 3,000 of
thC people of Maine met to declare
anew their devotion to freedom. -
Mrs. If. B. Stowe, in a letter to the
A'atiohal Era describing this meeting
YU VS :^
During all :ha speeches, the feeling of the
audience went in tnll concert with the speak
ers, frequently bursting forth in warm ejacu
lations of zo•ettt. and applause. It is interest
ing to watch the keen, shrewd, intelligent
faces of the o:d farmers, as they closely fol
lowed Mr. Hale's argument, their hard fea
tures lighting up at every successful point.
It was es ident that the people was at last going
to be poster, that it was touched, and rousing
itball to a Low effort. The universal and en
thusiastic sentiment of the meeting was a
uLion fur liberty against slavery,, without re
a to party ties.
the glorious work going on
in eve. y free State. The people have
vt last determined "to be power." The
mere party men are greatly alarmed
at this independence of the people . ,
and are doing their utmost to keep
them quiCt. In this County, the old
line Democratic paper is owned and
controlled by a man fresh fl'om a Slave
State, and it, therefore, very naturally
does everything it can Mr Slavery.—
Through it the people are urged to
take the counsel of Judge Bronson
as their guide, and, this counsel is to
approve of the Nebraska bill, and let
Slavery tale posses: , ion of Kansas if it
can.
To help' the party accomplish this
work, the old machinery is again
put in motion, a County Contention is
called to meet on the sth of August.
Anti-Nebraska democrats are to b e
iiiatie to do the work of the slave
holders, anti the North is to he kept
divided for the sole benefit of slavery,
and the politicians who receive pay
k doing its dirty work.
We cannot believe any sincere op
ponent of Slavery extension will be
led to act tezainst his principles in that
tray. Lay aside prejudice and look
at the facts ...Vine-tenths of the peo
ple of the Free. States were earnestly
opposed to the Nebraska bill, They
catered their solemn protest 'against
the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise. How came that measure to be
forced through under• such circum
stances? Because the South demanded
it, and required ti:President to make
it a party measure. - Thus the whole
machinery of the old line Democracy
was brought into use for the accom
plishment of the base purpose, and
thus it was carried.
What prevents the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise ? The peo
ple desire it. lf they would unite no
power under heaven could prevent
them from undoing the base work of
Douglas. What is it that stands in
the way of union? Nothing but the
old party machinery, which the Bigler
leaders of this County are doing their
utmost to grease up and set in motion
•
fur the sole benefit of Slavery.
Not a man of you believes that the
working of the old caucus machinery
will d 0 the people any good. On the
contrary you know, it always has, and
always \via stand in the way of the
success of your principles.
The effect, then, of the party con
ventiwon the sth of August, so far as
it .will have any, will be to keep the
people divid , !d f a the benefit of Slave
; and 11,i: be inflicted with-
out the acedtriplishment• of it single
good. . TheFeftire, we call on all holiest.
unth:Nebr . dika men to di:o - egaril the
wire working of small politicians, arid
listen to the .voice of common
which seems to govern your associates '
in Tioga County and throughout the
North. Their advice is, abandon the
old party machinery, and unite with
all friends of freedom without regard
to former political associations ; which
is the only way to .undo the work of
the Slave Power, in their repeal of a
solemn compact, which secured Kan
sas as a free State forever.
A JEFFERBONLIN DEMOCBAT
The Hon. Daniel Mace of Indiana
was elected to Congress as an old line
Democrat, of the strictest sect, but he
was an hoilest man, and therefore felt
compelled to oppose. the Nebraska
bill, and since its pas Sage, he has felt
compelled by a sense of duty, to unite
with all opponents of the Slave Power
in defense of freedom.
This has brought down on his de
voted head, the whole power of the
administration and its supporters, in
an attempt to " crush out" his manli
ness. So our friends will see that the
personal attack made on us, is only a
part of a systematic attempt to crush
every independent spirit. We, glory
in being thought worthy the unscru
pulous attacks, and shall labor with
fresh courage, since it is eVident our
opponents' think it a matter of gteat
• importance to injure our character
and influence.
In reply to the bitter personal at
tacks made on . Mr. Mace, that gentle
man replies by a manly, courageous
letter which closes as follows. We
commend it to the attention of the
Anti-Nebraska Democrats of this COUTI-
My future course ivill7be an active, hc;arty
cooperation with the anti-Nebraska, anti-slave-
ry,extension organization, now being efficient
ly formed in all the free states, without any
regard to-former political antecedents, for the
'purpose of restoring the Missouri Comprti
mise, and doing such other things constitu
tionally, as will make it mani6 , et that at least
a small portion of this great republic, in point
of wealth, numbers and patriotism,- can be
found north- of Mason and Dixon's line.—
Should the people, the only source of power,
in the coming elections decide against the
principles 1 have espoused and those who act
with me,..then, and not before, will it be time
to consider the doctrine of "acquiescence."
I make no terms with traitors. 1 hope yon
may have nothing but perfect harmony in
your state convention ofJuly 13, if so resolves
will be made by freemen that will make
slaves tremble! r Respectfully yourv,
DANIEL MACE.
'Next week we shall publish the
speech oNr. Sumner in reply to the
gross attacks made 'on him by the
slaveholders. This speech is the most
overwhelming to the assailant, of any
thing delivered in the Senate since
Daniel Webster annihilated Senator
Haynes of South Carolina.
Even the Louisville Journal pub
lished in a slave State, is constrained
sad• of this effort:
We thihk Mr. Sumner's course
mischievous, but we have a high re
spect fir his ability. He has genet ally
been regarded during his course in
the Senate as manifesting a luck of
spirit; but in his late speech in reply
to Mr. Butler of South Carolina, - and
Mr. Clay, of Alabama, he did much
to redeem himself. Thu speech was
masterly,' and upon the main points
selected for, discussion, it was over
whelming. The Senators against whom
it was directed could not reply to it.
-They felt it deeply." -
Le A fire, more destructive in its
effects than any that ever occurred be
fore in this village, broke out in the
house of C. W. Ellis, Esq., occupied
by Mr. Thos. B. Tyler, on Monday
morning lust. It caught from a stove
pipe thatpassed throught he roof of the
kitchen, and spread so rapidly as to
reduce the building to ashes in an in
credible short time. Our citizens, who
repaired to the spot on the alarm being
( given, by great exertion succeeded in
laving a greater part of Mr. Tyler's
furniture,ivhich was in the front part
of the house on the lower story.
Mr. Ellis, however, lost much valuable
furniure in the upper story, from which
nothing was saved. Dr. Dean, living
with Mr. Tyler, lost considerable in
valuable papers. The loss is esti
mated at—C. W. Ellis, t3looo ; Dr
Dean, 8850; T. B. Tyler, $200—52,050.
There was no insurance.
Too much care cannot be taken -du
ring this unprecedented dry time to
prevent fires. No human effort can
stay the devouring flames when once
under headway; as in the case of
Monday morning they mock all effort
to check their mad career.
HON. REITBEN E. FOI7ON
This
„gentleman, though an old line
Democrat;': was elected to pngress
fiomra strong Whig district; which
fact attracted ant attention at the time,
and we have watched his course since
he took his seat in the national council
with great inferest.— We thought a
,
man „-ho could overcome a part.: ma-
jority against him of over four thou
sand, must be something more than a
more party man; and his Congres-
sional course thus far has fully justi-
tied the ettpeetation of those inde
pendent men who voted for him.. He
as met every question like a man,
sustaining his party when he thoUght
it was right, and opposing it when his
judgment told him it «•as wrong. On
the Nebraska question he has proved
his metal, and discharged his whole
duty, regardless of party trainree.ls
and official dictation. On the very
first occasion offered to him ; he made
a telling speech against, that infamous
outrage, and voted on all the motions
connected with it, against the plans of
Douglas and the Administration, and
battled heroically to the last to save
the nation from the disgrace and
shame of extending Slavery in de
fiance of a solemn compact .of the
Fathers that it should be "forever
prohibited." But Mr. FF.NTON did
not cease his opposition to the Ne
braska Fi•and on the triumph of
the measure in Congress. On the
contrary, he consulted with the oppo
nents of that measure of all parties,
and after mature deliberation, met
with the Anti-Nebraska members of
Congress for the purpose of preparing
an Address to the People of the United
States. Mr. Fenton tv:is Chosen one_
of the Secretaries or that Meeting,
and in that capacity affixed his signa
ture to the most important document
that has ever come from members of
Congress since our_knowledge.of that
body cinnmenced: It is important
because it reviews in a mastery = man
ner the whole history of Slavery. ag
gression,—from which the conclusion
is irresistible, that these aggressions
will go on, and grow worse and worse,
until the people of the Free States
abandon the old party arrangements,
and unite in the, great party of Free
dom for the overthrow of the .Slave
Power.
Mr. Fenton bas thus given all his
influence in favor• of union and har
mony of action on the part of the
opponents of the :Nebraska treachery,
and we have no doubt but his conduct
will be enthusiastically sustained by •
his constituents, without distinction of
party. In fact, a correspondent of the
Cattaraugus Whig has made a manly
appeal to his Whig friends to give Mr.
Fenton a unanimous vote of the district
for his reelection to Congress as a testi
mony for his faithfulness, and a rebuke
to the Administration: We hope this
appeal of the lhhig gill he successful,
for in no other way can the people of
the Chautauque district so effectually
strike the Power that has so long
ruled the North witli a. rod of ,iron.
should any one in Mr. Fenton's dis
trict be inclined to say thatit is nothing
to us over here in Pennsylvania how
they manage their affairs, we shall
admit that we have no right to do any
more than tell how it looks to out
siders. Nevertheless we are deeply
interested in this movement in the
Chautauque district; because, if lib
eral Whigs will not sustain an Inde
pendent Democrat,who has uniformly
voted right on this Freedom question,
then it will be imposiible to form a
union in adjoining districts when In
dependent Democrats are asked to
vote for liberal Whigs. We- beg the
Whigs of the Chautauque district to
think of this, and act wisely and lib
erally.

Ur A Maine Law argument was
.
urged upon the attention - of our citi- ;
zeus on Saturday evening last. A
Woman procured a gallon of Whiskey
at Lymanwille, imd - took it home.;---
She and her husband drank pretty
freely and got into a fight; the wife
applied to Justice Cole for a warrant
agiainst her husband, but after hearing
the testimony, the Justice held each of
them to bail to keep the peace, Does
anybody doubt that this fight came of
selling whiskey 7 Does not the sale
of whiskey in a community invariably
produce fights or something worse ?
Then will you not use your innfluence
and voui rote to banish whiskey and
fights from the State?

Letter from ilotr. Bigler.
liartittsaeno. June IG. 1851.
GLICTLILME:I : I have been honored by the
receipt of your communication attic 18th ult.,
propounding to me certain questions touching
the subject of.a Prohibitory Liquor Law.
To your first inquiry, I reply that the su
preme court of 'the state have repeatedly held,
and 1 concurin the 'doctrine. that the Legisla
ture can exercise all law-making power not
expressly forbidden by the state or federal
constitution. Under this construction I believe j
the Legislature have authority to control the
inauufacture and, sale of spirituous liquors:
but in the use of that power it must be obyi•
out that a law might be passed,• which in its
details would be a manifest violation of the .l
Constitution, and hence the impossibility of:1
answering your question directly, without see. 1
ing the exact terms of the proposed law.
As to the second point in this inquiry, it`'
must be very clear that a law constitutional,
in itself. would not be rendered 'otherwise by,
allowing the people to decide hy-Note whether
the Legislature should repeal it or not; no
! matter what that 'vote might be.
To your second inquiry I 'answer—that I
sincerely deplore the evils of intemperance,
anti elle now willing, is: I always haye been,
to sanction any proper measure to mitigate
j. and if possible entirely remove this, vice; but
I cannot pledge myself to sanction a law the
details of which 'I have not seen. The terms
of the Constitution and the oath of Mike would
seem to forbid this course on the part cif lin
Executive. Ile should be free to judge of the
constitittionathy and w isdum 'of a proposed
law-after having fully examined and consid
ered its previsions.
'try respectfully, your oh% serv't.
WM—BIGLER.

Letter from Mr. Pollock.
MILTON, May 30, IF:G.4
Gza-ri.Em : Your communication ityrefer- -
ence to a Prohibitory Law has been received,
and in reply, I say that the const i tutionality of a
prohibitory law, similar in its essential features
to the one referred to in your interrogatories,
having received a judicial determination, by -
the_ highest courts of several. of our sister
states, and the principle has ing been recog
nized by the Supreme Court of the United
States, I am relieved front the respowiibifitl:
of a first decision. These courts having
finned the constitutionality of a prohibitory
law, and being the highest .authority, I be
lieve, upon principle and autherity, such a law
to be constitittional; and its constitutionality,
in.toy opinion, -would not. be , atrected by a
submiSsion of its repeal to a vote of the people.
Every nleasure of moral and political re
form, sanctioned by the Representatives of
the people, within Ole limits of the constitu
tion, would receit cmy official sanction. The
expediency And propriety of such laws for the
people, through their representatives, and
their will, constitutionally declared, should be
respected by the Executive. If the people
demand, and their representatives enact such
a law, their will should not be _resisted by the
exercise of the veto power: a mower purely
conservative, and only to be exercised in cases
dearly unconstitutional, or exercising 'indu
bitable evidence of hasty, injurious,, and im
perfect-legislation. Such being my views of
official ditty in the premises, should.tha Legis
lature—the Constitutional exponent of popular
willenact such a law, it 'would, in the event
of toy election, receive the executivo sanc
tion. Yours very respectfully,
JAM ES" -POLLOC K.

rious candidates for Governor have been
placed in the hands Of this committee, and we
find that - the candidates of the Whig, Ameri
can, and Free Democratic parties have all
answered to our satisfaction, and as we do not
wish to expose ourselves to the . charge of
undue partiality to any particular party, we
therefore deem it inexpedient to recommend
any particular candidate ; but, that justice may
be done to all, we recommend that the letters
of the four candidates be published, together
with the interrogatories in our proceedings,
that the people may judge•forthemselves.

Witt. IT HURT THE TARTY I—There are a -
good many speculators in politics who are per
fectly willing to give expression and effect to
the natural and general indignation - offreemen
in view of the Douglas-Nebraska outrage,
biovideci such expression, such effort, can be
made to subserve and advance the interests br
their party. , rp to that point, "ugitatton" is
a good thing, to be commended and cherished;
beyond that it is flietitious, disloyal, detestable.
F. Tribune..
We have quite a number of just
such anti-Nebraska men as this in . our
neighborhood, and probably. they are
scattered all over the County.
What a pitiful position. In favor
of freedom, but can't do anything, be
catise the party is committed to evil,
and we must stick to that, no matter if
it does lead to the destruction Of every
principle that we cherish and would
like to promote. If a person who
acts thus is entitled to respect, we
should like to know who ought to be
despised.
