S. of T. are requested to be present at the Hall next Saturday evening, as matters of importance will be pre sented fur their consideration. L is an article on the out side from the N. Y. Tribune, headed, "A Word to the Wise," which .has the ring of true metal in it. If any man can read that article and then say there is no need of leaving the old parties, we think he should be carried to Old Virginia at once. The notice of the closing Exer cibes of the school in Oswayo, under the charge of Thomas G. Smith, will be. read with interest. We hope other schools will improve on this example next winter, as it is an excel lent way of infusing life and energy into the entire district. Mr. Smith is entitled to great credit for his skill and energy in his profession. Will the friends of Temper ance in Bingham please Consider that it is the only township on the Northern line of our county in which there is no Temperance orgarti.zatinn? How long will they let it be said that Bing ham is behind Genesee in this respect? The rote on the Maine Law, last fall, should acimoilish them of the !necessity of more concerted action in the future. All around them our friends are full of life and activity, and. we hope soon to hear a good account from Bingham. Who will put the ball, in motion?

It has been intimated several times within the past year, that the editors of this paper found it. easier to rebuke slavery at a distance, than the vices and sins of the people at home.— Technically this may be tree.. We love our friends as well as any one; and we would be glad to be on good terms with all. And hence it is un doubtedly unpleasant to Write against those practices which will alienate our acquaintances and • neighbors. But will any one pretend that' we have failed to rebuke home sins? , Are there not men in every township in this county whose friendship and sup port we might have •had, -if we had kept silent on the evil of the sale of intoxicating drinks, but who are now unfriendly to us, simply because. we deem it our duty to write against the home sin of drunkard making 1 Flow long is it sine,e certain demagogues got "up an indignation meeting because we rebuked the affinities' of one of our citizens for men of a suspicious char actei But enough of this. We have no taste for defending the Journal. We prefer to let it speak for itself. We have made even this statement more for the benefit of one or two new corners, who seemed likely to do themselves discredit by repeating the idea,'than from any wish to defend our own consistency. We will im prove the present occasion, however, to call the attentton of parents to one home sin, which we have frequently alluded to. We mean the habit of permitting children to play in the street at night. We love to see boys and girls romp, and play, and enjoy themselves. We would gladly in crease the joys of childhood, rather than diminish them. But we hold that all out door playing of children in villages should be done by daylight. We think in should be done even then in yards, -on the side hills, or in the woods, away from the evil language and other dangers of the streets, but as this is a matter of no importance compared to the night rambling and rowdyism, which so many of the cliil 7 dren are permitted to engage in, that. -we confine our earnest appeal to pa rents to reform this prevalent evil. it is not a very rare occurrence to have a dozen boys from 9 to 14 parade up and down our streets till eight and nine o'clock, sometimes later, hallo ing, swearing, and we presume lying. This is not only a nuisance to the public, but it is training some of these boys for the penitentiary. We call on every parent who has any regard for the future welfare of his children to give this matter his, instant and serious attention. A Snort Jemir.—Yesterday week we cut loose from buisincss (for the first time in nearly eight months,) and with a dark-eyed Miss—is at our left, started en route for Potter County—a jaunt of upwards of 40 miles. Reached Pine Creek at e, P. M. and mailing ourselves of the hospitality of friend McDougall for the night, were on our "snowy way" by 74 next morning—mercury ranging among the ci phers.. A ten minutes' drive furnished our nag with a fine white coat, and admonished us that "all flesh is" liable to frost. Nose and can very troublesome—fine scenery—stumps and pine-clad mountains on one hand, moun tains and pine stumps on the other. Now we glided diagonally down au abrupt hill, into a hallow, then swept up an opposite hill at about the same angle, and reaching the sum- mit, found ourselves about a stone's cast from the top of the hill we had just descended. This was encouragin,s. Everlasting vistas of cone-shaped mountains and interminable for, ests of pine occupying all space but zenith and nadir. Now gliding along the edge of a 'precipice a hundred feet above the ice-locked creek below, (of which fact we were pain painfully reminded by a smart pinch on the arm accompanied by half-a-dozen "O's,) and now along the levels along as fine a snow-path as ever was trodden by mortal horse.— Through " Sweden" we observed that the fences were invariably low, or that the snow was invariably high—don't know which. Went on. Readied Coudersport, feeling .the weight of threescore Tears and ten upon our devoted head. Found Major Mills as capable of a tough yarn as ever, full of business and. übi quitous. If he can't infuse life and energy into a place nobody else need try. We would like to see him and Field of the Dick inson House, Corning, meet and "blow out." Coudersport is a gem of a village, for a new country, and bids fair to be a place of some bustle and importance in time and under fa vorable circumstances. The inhabitants are intelligent and honest, so honest, in fact, that there is not a Store in.the place with shutters! Indeed, there is no earthly need • of shutters, for such a thing as theft' is unknown.- IVe had a nice visit with friend Maxie of the Jourug, and. his estimable, lady, and shall not soon forget their kindniss, and that of a host of others whose acquaintance we had the fortune to make:—lfillsboro' Agitator. There, We shall go over to Wells time, as soon as the fates will permit us, and when we return we will give Cobb and his ". lady" a tip-top com pliment,--if they deserve it. And as the Major also owes the Agitator one, we will take him along to make sure of a warm welcome. . TEE BEN/CORM QUESTION. Mr. WOOD, one of the 'members iP . the Legigiature from this district, thinking that the address of the twenty-. eight anti-Cameron men does injustice to the supporters of Mr.. Cameron, writes us a history of that matter, which we would very cheerfully pub lish entire, only that Mr. Wood says that it is not for publication. We therefore make a single extract, which replies to the charge of permitting those who bad no right to participate in the American caucus to control it. We do not. wish to. censure 'Mr. W., but we shall endeavor to show, when the proper _time comes, that Simon Cameron is not a fit representative of men who desire to place Pennsylvania by the side-of New 'York in opposi tion to Slavery extension. But in reply to the charge of the bolting members, our friend says : " You have published the address of 28 of the 30 who bolted from the caucus, and you will notice that the names of the two Lan caster Whigs aro necessary to make up the number. That. address declares that some were in attendance only known as bitter. ene mies of the American Organization. If Ibis be tree, why not say who they were, and why did they themselves commence to act with them ? . "The address complains that the ballet was adopted by only three, and thus shows that a controlling influence was ekercised, or a bat once of - power was held by those who had no right to be there. Let us see whether the facts show this to be true. " The number of the persons . , their names, and how they voted, is no secret. Three of thein are Democrats, and the other two the before mentioned Lancaster Whigs. The former three voted for the ballot with the forty-sevon, the latter two voted fur the vira rote, as a part of the forty-four. By ruling the five out, you have left forty-four for the secret ballot, and forty-two against it—leaving the majority as if they had not been there." POPULAR SOVFIIvTGHTY Some very honest people have been deluded into a defense and support of the Nebraska outrage because, as they supposed, that bill permitted the, people of the 'Territories of _Kansas and Nebraska, to form such institu tions as .best suited them. It has already been shOwn 'that the- election in Kansas was carried by honks of armed ruffains from Missouri, and we propose now 'to show that popular sovereignty in Nebraska is quiie as much of a farce as in Kansas. The following is an extract from the lead ing editorial of the. Nebraska Palla dium of February Kith. We hope after this that no sensible man will defend the repeal of the Missouri compact against slavery extension, on the 'ground that it secures popular sovereignty to the people. Says the Palladium: " It is a fact that Thomas B. Cumming com pletely organized Burt county north of the Platte and gave it a representation of three in the. Legislative Assembly, after being in formed by the person who took the census, that the county of Burt contained but one house and but four white inhabitants, and one of those a minor. It is a fact that said T. B. Cumming sent twenty-six persons into Burt county from lowa to have them enumerated as residents, not one of whom-did then or has since resided iri said county, as said Cumming well knows. It is a fact that, on the day of election, the. same persons left Council Bluff City. for the purpose of voting in, or rather for, Burt county; that the said Cumming infoimed them that it was not 'necessary for theta to go to the place designated for hold ing the election, but that they Could hitch their horses and voto anywhere inside of Burt county. It is a filet that the said political 'caravan took his friendiy advice, proceeded to Burt, performed everything laid down in the programme ofsaid Cumming, elected their "machines," and were, residents, electors and elected all safely- back home again in Bluff. City on the same night. far TIIE "SecntitcuTs. See first page for an exposition of this new scheme of hunkerism. Gen. Pierce's "lackeys" are organizing secret so cieties throughout the country among the foreigners, and the subjects of His Holiness, the Pope. The 'democracy' mat be held in pretty IoW estimation by the American • people, when such means are resorted to, in order, if possible, to save it.from utter destruc tion. If we are not mistaken, this new movement will not have a very great teadency to strengthen the af feetion of the 'natives' for the faith breakers. Go on, gentlemen if this be your game, the year• 1856 will be hold,.the last of the race of doughfaces. Er A good cause was never yet wrecked.by the earnestness, straight forwardness, simplicity, and uncom promising integrity of- its advocates. And no good cause was never yet wrecked, that did not .owe its failure to the absence of these qualities. A_ PICTURE WELL DRAWN. . . .We have felt for months - hacki that the cause: of reform !in.lrenesylvania 'Was in danger for the want Ufa paper at Harrisburg of the right stamp: The - Hairisburg Telegraph, seemed to, be all right before tile . election, but since that time the editor has apparently been more- intent on se curing an 'appointment fur himself, than in advocating the passage of wholesome laws, and in _creating a healthy public sentiment in favor. of freedom and temperance. -We hesi tated at first about expressing these fears, but we found they were enter tained by those Of our friends ,who have visited Harrisburg this winter; and now we see the matter is brought to the attention of the- public by a correspondent of .the N. Y. Tribune, who accounts fur the unfortunate state of affairs at Harrisburg in thii Ivay • The' Capitol of the State is situated, as you know, in a little-village on the banks of the Susquehanna River, far in the interior, and away from the great thoroughfares of life. Here plodding politicians, and schemers of every class and grade, assemble to concoct plans by which to elevate themselves to high places, or to accumulate fortunes in a brief period without labor and without capital. The people of the State do not know what is going on here; and their representatives vote and aet as though they had no constitu ency, and were responsible to no haunt au thority. Everything is concocted iu the dark —in . a corner—away from the sight of men, and . from the light of day. There is no con trolling influence here—social, political, or of any other description—to give tone and character to the Capital,. And more than all, there is no Press here to sound the alarm, watt the people, and arouse them to action.. The Union is owned and controlled by. Cam eron, and his friends, and is issued twice a week during the session of the Legislature. Such an organ is necessarily weak and ineffi cient in accomplishing reforms. Then there is the •Teicgrap/Ovhich is a second edition of the Union, - though °tithe other side of poli ties. The pair united would not make half a paper in any town on the Atlantic board. The Keystone paper, published by Mr. Bar rett, is the organ of Senator Brodhead and Gen. Routnpfort, the latter residing in this place. The Keystoneis a curiosity in its wax, and its publisher should take out a patent for the energy and talent which are displayed in its columns. It is issued weekly, and drags out a miserable existence. B.GGRESSIONS OF SLAVERY. The defenders of the Nebraska outrage at the North. endeavor to make the people believe that the slaveholders haVe nevet made any aggressions'on the rights of Northern freemen. .It is hardly _possible that any man can be blinded by the soph istry of those who seek; to create this impression. The Slave Power will not let the people be deceived on this point, for they let no session pass, without some fresh outrage. On the 23d of February,.Mr,Tra cef of Connecticut, introduced a bill into the Senate, intended to-holster up the fugitive slave bill, which tram pled on the rights of the States and therefore met a glorious resistance from the Freesoil Senators. Mr. Sew ard made a glorious speech, which closed as follows: Mr. President; all this trouble arises out of the Fugitive Slave Law. The transaction in which we are engaged is by no means-the first act of a new drama. - You began here, in 1793, to' extend into free States, by the -exer cise of the Federal power, the war of races—the war of the a master against the slave. The Fugitive Slave Law which was then passed, becatne Ob solete. Though no- great inconven- - knee was sustained, the pride of the slaveholding power was wounded. In 1850, you passed a new Fugitive Slave 'Law, and connected it with measures designed to extend the ter-. ritorial jurisdiction Of the United States over new regions, without in hibiting Slavery. You . were. told at that.time, as distinctly as you are told to-night, that , your new law could not be executed, and would become obso lete for the same reasons that the old law had become :obsolete; that the failure of the old law had resulted, not from its want of stringency, but from its too great stringency. You were told then, as distinctly as, you are now told, that your new law, with all 'its terrors, would fail; because like the old and more . than the old law, it lacked the elements to com mand the consent and approval of the consciences, the sympathies and the judgments of a Free People. The new law, however, was adopt ed, in defiance of our protest - that it was an act of Federal usurpation, that it virtually suspended the writ of habeas corpus, that. it unconstitution ally denied - a trial by jury, and that it virtually commanded a judgment of perpetual slavery to be summarily 'rendered, upon ex parts evidence, which the party.accused was not al lowed to refute in the due and ordi nary course of the common law. You adopted new and' oppressive penal ties, in answer to all these remon strances; and, under threats and alarms for the safety of the Union, the Fugi-. tine-Slave Bill received the sanction of the Congress of-the United States, and became a law. • That was the second act. . When murmurs and loud' complaints arose, and remonstrances came from every Bide,' you resorted to an old and much-abused expediwit. You brought all the old political -par ties in the United States into. coati dim and league to maintain this and everywohl and letter of it,--unitn pa red, and to perpetuate it forever. 'All your other laws, although they might be beneficent, and protective of human rightsland of human liberty, could be changed, but this one nucou stitutional law, so derogatory from the rights of Human Nature, was singled Out from among all the rest, and was to be, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, a decree forever. This was the third act. And where are you now? .It is only five years Since the Fugitive Slave Law was passed.. You have poured out treas, ure like water to secure its execution. The public police, the revenue ser vice, the army and the navy, have been at your command, and have' all been vigorously employed, to aid in enforcing it. And still the Fugitive Slave Lacy is not executed, and is becoming obsolete. You demand .a further and more stringent law. The Federal Government must be armed with new powers, subVersive of pub lic liberty, to enforce the obnoxious statute. The _bill before us supplies those new powers. This is the fourth act. It is easy to be seen that it can not be the final one. Sir, I look with sorrow, but with . , . no anxiety, upon these things. They will have their end before long in complete discomfiture.. I abide the time, and wait for the gent. I per form my duty, the only duty which remains for me now, in protesting against the enactment of this law, and in expressing to -you my conviction that you are travelling altogether in the wrong. direction: lf vou 'wish to secure respect to the Federal author ties, to cultivate harmony between the States, to secure universal peace, and to create new bonds of perpetual union, - ! there is .only one way, befo'le you. Instead of adding new pep: I ) ties, employing. nevi agencies.. /. A inspiring new terrors, you must go back to the pointishere your mis:akerl policy began, and conform your . Fed eral laws to MAGNA CHiRTA, to the CONSTITUTION, and to the RIGHTS or MAN. IN the next House, of Representatives the abolitionists will in all likelihood have' a ma jority. Should such vile and intim - ions prop ositions Le made: should the vote he taken ; should that vote show a majority for the in cendiaries of whom we have spoken—them and we say it solemnly, we ,Nroit;d not an swer for the consequences. They would deserve. majority though they be, to be driven from the hall of Legislation, as Crom well drove-the corrupt men of his d.ty from their seats in the Halls of the English Legis lature.—Washingtou &Mital. The People's Represlutotives can see from this what awaits them next winter. If they shall dare to stand up fur Freedom, or at tempt to repeal the odious laws which slavery has placed upon' the Statute Books, they will be "Driven , ' from the Capitol at the point of the ba .7 - otiet!--67yracuse Chronicle. There's "popular sovereignty" for • you, and it iss the only kind that the Slave Power recce; vises. COMMERCE WITH THE SOUTH. "COOT. AND PLEASANT.-A mercan: tile house in this city, which had for some time been awaiting remittances from . a North-Carolina customer to meet their own pressing liabilities, a few days since received a note from the legal adviser of said customer, run ning thus "Mr. S. D. L----,on the Stli inst., made a trust of all his property, exclu ding all Northern creditors.' "Ifit were only settled that all South ern debtors for goods sold on tick would 'do just so,' we believe it would he a blessing to our city."—New York Tri bune. Yes, truly. - For.upwards of thirty years we have been Well apprized of all this, and not unfrequently have we alluded to it, both in public speaking, and in newspaper writing. Lon.. be, fore "modern abolition" had produced any excitement, we had learned some thing of the customary distinction be-. tweet] Northern and Southern 'credi tors, in cases or Southern failures. 1i is a part of the "peculiar institution" of filching a living out.of the unpaid labor of others. If the truth; could be known in detail and in aggregate, it would. probably be found that the North is the poorer for its commerce with the South to the amount of ticelre hundred millionsofdollars—or Mr. C la y's(lB:39) estimate of the value of the slaves. One twelfth part of that sum (one hun dred millions of dollars) was estimated to have been thus lost, 41.1837. Once in tenor twenty years, there common- - ly comes a general tornado and crash, besides constant intermediate wind-. falls. "Why, then," it will be asked, "do Northern merchants keep up the Southern traffic ?" Why do men buy lottery tickets? Or why quit legiti mate commerce for:wild speculations? Why cannot one gerferntion profit by the errors of their predecessors ? A volume that • should reveal the secrets of a half century of Northern commerce with the South would be invalnable: Who will supply it ?—. Such 'volume would be a dose for our "Journals of Commerce," and "Castle-Garden Committees."—Amer jean Jubilee. It only takes one line more—and here it is For the Journal, •• Moms.

And we cannot perceive. how any person who pretends to have Christian, or even extended infidel views of man's destiny, can believe fur.a moment: anything , contrary to this last view of man's progress.
