LADIES ; IN THE DIVISION HOOK
Last Saturday evening marked an
era in the history of Eulalia Division
of the S. of T. of' Pennsylvania. For
five years and a half a faithful of
nten have met .at the Division room
every Saturday evening for the pur
pose of promoting the cause of Tem
peric.e. They labored under many
cli4advantages, were fow in number,
Bever had the assistance of those who
ha,l /4 , J:way f. , -,iven tone to public
opinion—?bey had to meet the com
bine 4 .river the liquor influence of
the comity, and were deprived of the
tont:tenance and, snpvort. of the most
7ea.19-,Aas half of zho Temberance force,
kw a most -unwise feature of their
Ko - ganilatipn. Bat in the face of all
these men labored on, and
la.; often as Saturday evening came
Were fc,und assembled at their Hall,
t Aing counsel with each other as to
the 1,0,t, method of saving men from
the all-pervading destroyer.
And aiow a great revolution has
aLau place. Woman is no longer
whirled from the Division room.
Eolalia Division bas felt the happy
ia.fluence which the presence of refined
ctol virtuous females always produces.
We hope this influence will strengthen
antl increase, until every lukewarm
anretber shall be baptized anew with
xhe glorious gospel of Temperance,
soil to make this result the more prob
able, we hope all the women of Cou
k.ter,:pnrt, who desire, the triumph of
ll'i'mpr.ratme, will visit our Division
4,:v1 thus enpourage our members to
ersevere,.
KNOW-NOM:NOD= AND-SLAVERY
The American Organ, the .Know-
No.hing paper at Washington, is the
most pro-slavery of all the papers at
tl;e seat of government. It speaks
sith an air i if authority, and. says :
The question of slarrry is not to he
The American part• is formed on
the basis of sinking, the question of slarery
tiirerer. In the consnnnnation of the present
revolution, the men of New England, like
their sires IEI the revolution of '7li, will stand
by their brethren in the 'South as co-workers
in a common can-e.
The Baltim'ore Patriot, in comment
ing on the above, says :
Here is the bold development of the (ha
that Abolitionism has an inveterate enemy in
the American party. Not that it expresser
any opinions upon slavery, hat that it Will not
permit any fictions agitations to endanger the
perpciuity of the Unton. The American par
ty is a union of the North and South upon
other great aid important questions, a nd while
the &vet is the t'rnrral good of the country,
they will extinguish the sectional animosities
that have so long kept than estranged.
Do these papers represent the Amer
ican party ? If they do, then it is a
miserable sham, and Nvill die as speedi
ly as it has• grown. The Pithintrg
Gazdtr replies to these impudent pre
tensions as follows :
And what party is this which lays down so
anti•repnhiican and tyrannical a rule ()faction
It is a party which calls Ilse: IA turriran! which
claims affinity with the men of '76! Freedom
of discussion originated the American Revo
lution, and laid the foundation of our free in
stitutions. It is the palladium of our Ithetties,
the glory of our race androur country. Free
dom of aiscussion had a new h rill after a long
burial by Popish bigotry and tyranny, at the
Proiestant Reformation. Luther revived this
glorious birth-right of every freeman, and it
has flourished wherever liberty had a home.
To suppress it; is to go back to the dark ages.
The Pope and his coltege of Cardinals will sing
a Tr Dram it hen they hear that free discussion
is suppressed in Amer,ra.
Oh, but," st.ys a Know Nothing fr:end,
'Ton are too fa -t; we do not intend to sup
press discussion except on 0110 glieStiOn; thlt
Of °4lVery. " fildf Cd But is not slavery the
most important question of all others, to free
men and to the people of this country, in which
over millions of human beings arc held
in al:soime bondage of both - and soul I What
miler question ,of polities. of government, of
morals, asocial life, will compare with this as
re!ates to the American people I If dismission
can he interdicted on this, it may be on all
other sub:ects. it matters not what the soli-
Mc; may he, whether trivial or important, the
attempt to stop its, d:scusslon is a tyrannical
invasion of the rights of freemen. •
The Harrisburg Telegraph has a
grcat deal to say in favor of the Amer--
c^ party. We submit that it is about
time it should notice the pro-slavery
character of the American Organ ; for
if its bold assertions that the question
of slavery is not to be discussed, and
that " the American party is formed
on the basis of sinking the slavery
question," are permitted to go uncon
tradicted much longer, it will show
that the Northern branch Of the party,
like the Whig and Democratic parties,
is to be controlled by the slayeholders.
If the Telegraph, expects to retain the
confidence and respect of the freemen
ofPennsvlvania, it seems to us it is
quite tinie it was vindicating theAmer
jean party from the character given to
it by these Southern prints which as
sume to speak by authority. The
North has been disgraced quite Mug
enough by a tame submission to slave- -
ry, and the people will submit no
longer, no matter under what . guise
the tyrant seek; to cloak his authority.
Freedom of speech, and hatred of op
pression in all its forms, is the great
American idea, and the party that ig
nores • this, is a foreign party entitled
to no support from American free
men.
0" Now that an effort is making to
create more interest in our common
schools, we beg to suggest one thing
which every person in the county can
do- for the colleges of the people.
Look over yOur district for the best
. men to elect school *directors. at the
coming election; This matter has
been very much neglected in many
townships, and there are none, we
presume, in which no improvement
can be Made.. The school director is
the most important officer to be elected
in February, and yet it is generally
treated as the least important. Let
us make a reform in this respect at
once ; and to this end we urge our
friends to begin now, to ascertain who
will make the best school director.
Having done this, be sure and elect
him, no matter what his politics are,
or what meetings he attends,.

TICE LIQUOR BUSIRRES
Our County Court has been in session
during the .present week. Owing to the
gradual disappearance of the snow, the at
tendance was not large. About the usual
amount or business, however, has been done
we believe. Nothing of a very exciting na,
ture has turned up - thus fitr. The most im
portant trials affecting'our . county that were
had, were those for violations-of the Excise
Law. The . cases tried were upon indictments
found at the last term. The first tried was
that of the Commonwealth against Robert
Tuttle, of Eden. Atter the hearing of testi
mony On - the tart of the Commonwealth, the
defendant withdrew the plea of not guilty,
and plead guilty. Sentence suspended in the
usual form. A. L. Stiles and G. W. Mosier
of Ceres, were both tried, convicted, and
sentence suspended. The case of C. 11. Smith
continued by application of the defendant.
Not able to attend-. R. Larabee, indictment
quashed. The" time of sale left blank in the
indictment. Bishop & Bellows of Port Alle
gany plead guilty, and sentence suspended.
Tim J.ury its the case of 0. W. Mosier were
out sonic 20 hoursi, during wide!' tune they
stood It) for convicting, and 2 for acquitting.
After some eiplanation from Judge White,
they finally agreed.—M'Kean Citizen. •
At't note with pleasure these signs
of progress in McKean county, and
very gladly find ourselves mistaken as
to the activity -of our Temperance
friends-over the line. 'Follow up this
vigilance, and McKean will not vote
against the Maine Law at another
election. Is not the above named
C. H. Smith, the same Smith that has
got up a grand Temperance ball for.
the 10th of January ? If so, we think
lie has an unusual amount of brass in
hi's composition. Defending liquor
selling, and giving Temperance par
ties, will not take in this latitude, not
withstanding the bold cheat of placing
the names of active temperance men
on his printed ticket as managers.
When_ Mr. Smith in good faith
abandons the business of drunkard
making, and keeps a good public
house. for the purpose of entertaining
the travelling public in such a way as
to promote-their .comfort, free from
the temptation to drink and from the
annoyance of seeing others drink, we
should be happy to meet a large party
at his house, to congratulate - him and
his friends on the auspicious event.
At .present we respectfully decline,
and 'hope no temperance man will be
caught by the uncovered Wait.
POPULAR SOVEMEIONT.Y
. The following extract from the
Washington correspondence of the
Pittsburg Gazette gives, an item of
news, and shows up the humbug talk
of our leaders in good style:
The appointment of Col. Steptoe, of the
regular army, as Governor of Utah, is said to
have been determined. Ile is now stationed
in that territory, and is in command of about
five hundred troops, sent out to keep the-
Mormons as well as the Indians in as good
order as is consistent with the doctrines of
squatter sovereignty, which of course is not
to be trenched upon. t:fteptoe is a devoted
Demurral in theory and practice. Ile was
brought up at \Vest Point, and has been all
his life practicing that rigid republican equal
ity which the subordination and discipline of
the army require between the officers who
command and the men who obey. Ile will
mingle his civil and military functions, gov
erning the denizens of his distant flarrataria
by martial law and the cat-o-nine-tails, and
moulding their domesticinstitutions exactly
as his notions offaw and order may - dictate.
There may be a 'fight between this Satrap
and his subjects, but he has a couple of batte
ries of brass peices, and four or fie hundred
muskets which will lie -apt to smother the
voices of the sovereigns. Here is democracy
unadulterated. At the South it makes Sla
very the corner-stone of liberty, at the West
military despotism is called the self-govern
ment of the people, and the rifles and . bowie
knives of a horde of Missouri desperadoes
are called in to drive, from the polls the peo
ple who .are asserting their rights at the ballot
box. Such are some of the beauties of our
sham democracy. Justus
TIM CORRUPTING TIinUENCE of SLAVERY
- Whoever gives the least attention
to the sayings and doings of slave
holders in defense of slavery, will find
abundant proof of Jefferson's declara
tion that "the man must be a prodigy
who can retain his manners and mor
als uncorrupted" in the midst of
slavery. The speech of Stephens . of
Georgia in COngress the other day,
is an illtistration of this truth. He
-asserted that the agricultural-products
of Georgia were greater in value than
those of Ohio. But to give this asser
tion the show of plausibility, he put
the price of the same article raised in
Georgia nearly double of that raised
in Ohio; and then left out the article
of hay which is worth more- than the
Georgia cotton crop.
Commenting on this quibbling, the
Tribune says;
We allude to this speech of Mr. Stephens,
because it is a fair specimen of the candor
and fairness which charactertzes the argu
ments of tha friends of Slavery. Truth is
beComing an outlaw south of Mason and
Dixon's line; it is ostracised as a public ene
my, and branded as a traitor, and be who.
would keep its company is-regarded with .
suspicion.
To which we may add, that truth is
a stranger to those men who . come to
the North retaining their devotion to
slavery, as this community knows
full.well from the . history of the last
campaign in this county.
oval COMMON scams,
That there are defects in the
serration of our common school sys,
tern, is • very apparent ; but Low to
remedy theta; is the question. •
Our Correspondent Punch, two
weeks ago, pointed out some of these
defects, and suggested a remedy. We
fully agreed. with him as to the evil
complainedof, but dissented from his
remedy.
We find in the _
ellsboro Agitator,
other evils pointed out by the Rev. J.
F. Calkins, county Superintendent for
Tioga county,. and another remedy
suggested. ; We think Mr. Calkins'
plan would work worse than that pro;
posed by Punch, but we publish it for
the purposiof waking up the friends
of educatiOn, that the true remedy
may ; by and by, be discovered. Here
is what Mr.'Calkins says:
Though we have found prompt aid -in
many boardii of Directors in the • county, - yet
we have heard much complaint from citizens
also, for which SchootDirectors are not re
sponsible' that whatever the law is, they have
no schools at all, or miserable, apologies for
schools. This result', in part from the failure
to raise sufficient money, or a misapplication
of the money, or a want of proper town su
pervision, the directors not being sufficiently
distributed through the districts, together
With a too . general want of
. interest the
whole subject, by directors and parents,
Our impression is therefore being inure and
more confirmed, that our law would be ba:-
ter executed if we had, instead of six direct
ors in each district, a Town Superintendent,
elected with special reference to his qualifica
tion and interest, to cotiperate with the Coun
ty Superintendent, to appoint a director in
the neighhorltood ,of each school house, to
take that local supervision, and these- side
directors with the - Town Superintendent
would constitute inboard to discharge the
ditties in general, -now devolving on the
Director. This Town Superintendent being
paid say. ten shillings per day, as in New
York, for actual, necessary service, would be
a responsible, reliable officer, whose attention
to the duties could he commanded and de
pended_on. J. F: CALKINS, Co. t`up't:
WHAT MEANS THIS SILENCE?
The new order has been discussed
in the House of Representatives . at
Washington. -
We were not willing to take the
Telegraphic. report;. so we have wait
ed for a. full sketch. of the debate.
That is before us. A Free Soil Dem
ocrat, Mr. M. Banks, defended the
American "movement, and, of Course,
NS; otilsT indicate, 'foreshadow,' its, policy
and principles: Yet in that
: defense
no allusion is made to the Nebraska
outrage! not a word said up6n the.
question of freedom ! • •
Mr. Banks' position last winter we
all remember. He was emphatic -in
speech and action against the Nebras
ka fraud. :Now he is silent. Why is
this? Whence this dodging the gilds
tion which so filled his own and the
public mind a few months sirrce
Wherefore his studied silence in refer
ence to the question of freedom'?
Another fact of a startling character
has just reached us. Southern' mem
bers ordered thousands o f Mr. B a nks'
speech to be circulated in the Slave
States. For what reason Neither
the speech nor its circulation was the
result of ;accident; it was the . plan
agreed upon beforehand. What then
does this prove but a determination
on the part of the Ditectors • to ignore
the main, issue, to put under- ban
any` and :every presentation of the
Slavery queStion? •
FreemeP must be on the alert:
These acts show a conspiracy on foot
to cheat thorn out of their rights, `and
sacrifice everything to win the support
of the SlaVe Power. We dare pot be
silent, or ; trust any man, party, or
power, that will thus ignore -roe ques-.
Lion of thd, day. And this those . who
have the Control of the organization of

The Louis Pilot exults fiercely
over the Pro-Slavery victories won-by
Missouri bullies and bowie-knives at
the Delegate election in Kansas. It
considers the contest in that Territory
decided by it And - Slavery fastened
upon her forever—mainly because the
Eastern • States sent emigrants thither
to prevent it! Had we only °livered
no objections to Slavery's going there,
it would n't-have gone ; but by doing
our hes" to stop it, we insured its suc
ce:!;,s;! This is about the average of
Prc4Slavery logic. Hear f hear !
"When the act organizing the Territory
was first passed, the chances, in our opinion,
were greatly in favor of Kansas being a free
State. The reasons for .this are plain and
obvious. The slaveholder is averse to immi
gration. His property is timid, and the rela
tion itself begets ties that do not exist in a
non-slaVeholding comm u nity, and which are
not easily severed. The North has always
furnished more emigrants than the South, and
even in the slave States there are always
Many who prefer to lice in a free rather than
slate State.' A large number of the settlers
of all the western momsloveholding Statis
were emigrants from Slave States, and such,
unquestionithly, would have been the result
in Kansas, if the a,gitators had remained quiet,
and permitted the current of events to flow on,
in its natural channel. This did not suit their
purposes. Kansas must not only be free, but
it must be settled by Abolitionis t :—negro
thieves and traitors to the Constitution and
the laws of the land. They were not satisfied
to permit the natural tide of emigration to
flow, but they must force an unnatural current
to that 'wilderness region. ." * The
contest between the pauper emigrants, shippi d
at so much a brad froth Boston and Springfield,
and the hottest squatters in Kansas, involved
the %cry life of Western ,Missouri; and we
have- no doubt that hundreds of our hardy
yeomanry have gone over and squatted in the
Territory, that never. would have dreamed of
leaving the State bin tbr the machinations of
the Emigrant Aid Associations. The Inten
sity of feeling that has been aroused on this
subject, renders it almost certain that the Pro-
Slavery men will succeed iu making Kansas
a slave!....:ta!e: It is not so much a T;cntiment
in .favor of :-;:l avers. perhaps, as it is detesta
tion and aversion for the negrophilists and
dealers in benevolence and humanity that
haveibeen at,werk hi this business. If they
had pernMted - natural causes to operate with
out their influences. Kan-as might have been
a free State, , That the people of the Terri
tory now will_ not exemde Slavery, we regard
as a fixed fact."
The scoundrel who thus defames his
betters knows very well that evet y
man of these Eastern :ettlers in Kan
sas paid his own money in full for his
passage, and had 'more left on his ar
rival, and instantly went to work to
make his own living by his oW'n useful
labor. Had the emigrants froin Bos
ton, 'Worcester; &c., been accustomed
to get their living . out of the unpaid
labor of other men's wives and chil
dren, there, might have been sonic
reason for calling them "paupers" of
a certain sort ; but there ai•e.no men'
in Missouri who are less bite "pau
pers" than they are. And it is by such
impudent and slanderous falsehoods as
thhse above quoted that Missourians
have been incited to- defraud and bully
the actual settlers of Kansas out of
their political rights and impose a
Pro-Slavery Delegate upon them.—

Mr. Wendell Philips was on Friday

have Only to sad of this case what we

believe it to he an unnecessary prose
cution. NO possible result of it rail
punish Mr. Philips, even if he has
been : guilty of a violation of the
statute; while in its commencement,
course and conclusion, it will give
him an opportunity of acquirii.ig
fresh: reputation ,now, and a higher
fame hereafter. Mr. Philips is an
excellent lawyer, and an admirable
speaker. and he will stand in Court,
the representative of a sentiment most
creditable to human nature. He may
have committed grave errors, but
society will forget than], when IM
comes to speak of liberty -of
.speech,
of freedom of discussion, of the wrongs
of the slave and the rights of Massa

Attorney is wise in. giving him this
opportunity. Most men who have
been placed in the position which .
he will occupy, have left either the
bar or the prison triumphant. Alen
without the .moral character of Mr.
Philips—such men, indeed, as Wilkes
and Horne Tooke—have triumphed
over the- ministry and the Attorney
General, by faithful adherence to the
principles' of liberty; and it is not
now in the . power of a hundred Con
gresses, to legislate wrong into right,
or to make the people believe that
resistance, to tyrany is treason. A
certain sornething will save Mr. Phil

SEEDING CATTLE AROUND STACE.S.
When a corner or_ knoll in th e
meadow is found in a poor condition,
farmers often attempt to enrich such
places by making a stack of hay on
the ground, and foddering it out, ex .
pectmg to reap a double htn e f it b y
improving the land - , and saving th e
trouble of carting the hay and manure.
Let us examine the arguments ',for,
and objections to, this course of, pro
cedure.
The ground in this climate is ahvari
frozen in winter, and covered. nirt.. or
less with snow; and consequently the
liquid manure freezes upon the snow,
and as the snow tnelts before the
ground thaws and settles sufficiently
to absorb the -fertilizing qualities i;f
the manure, the most valuable por
tions are lost entirely. The hear•
rains drench " the solid part of the
manure, and alternate thawing and
freezing destroy its strength so that
the soil is comparatively hula bene
fited. •
Another prominent objection is that .
the cattle or sheep. thus exposed in
some bleak place, consume about one
fourth more food than is nece-safv, if
comfortable stables were pro\ ided
for them, and they come out siclth
and einacdated in the spring. Tints
instead of securing.r. double profit i n
stacking the hay, a three-fold
sustainednamely, the bet ti , r porti on
of the manure—a considerable portion
of hay, and in the condition of th n
stock. Cows kept during inter
in this way, require a long limo to
recover from the elrects of eXpo , ure,
and frequently the scia.iou is far ad•
vanced, and the gra :s hecorus dry
and succulent before they re4ain
flesh—thus very much lessvahr the
profit arising from them.
. True ccouemy consist.; in I:Prpha, :
cattle in a good condition with Cu );
leas: quantity of feed, and makinz
and saving all the manure r)ssible.
Proper attention is not given in coiro
posting manure,' for I-still regahl
as the basis of remunerative farniinz,
