rir We publish on the outside an
extract from ono of Horace Greeley's
agricultuial 'addresses. It is an able
di3ciiment,'and should be thoionghly
read:
0 7 ' Society has been steadily im
peoVing in this village for many year,
and were it riot for a few industrious
and tattlers, we know of
;to village of its size more attractive
as a place of residence for the refined
and virtuous.

twhrity cents per pound in this village.

far We publish in another column
in article from the Progressive Fanner
pf Philadelphia, in relation to 'educe . -
ling faririirs'sons: We emforso this
trtiele, every word of it. By the way,
the ProgeOsSive Farmir is published
for itien ty-five cents it 'year; and is
'North ten times that sum to every
Farmer who thiiroughly rends it.
I:I9PA - good inany thinishini , dollars

grass that wasted• in old chgppings
not yet brought under csii:viOon,,
lar The bucloyheat crop of this
county, is immense. We hope our
friends in the different townships will
furnish us *WI the amount raised' lie
;heir respective neighborhoods, and
ofthe best yields per acre. "
la' This is • a fayoz able time to in
crease the circulation of 'the 47qunial;
and the. continued sickness -. Mr.
Avery justifies us.itz making an earnest
appeal to our friends for aid. We
have no time to canvass for subscri
bers, and most -rely entirely on the
kindness of friends to increase our
list.
A friend has furNshed us with
a cispy of the Telegraph, publiShed at
Newtown village, Tioga county, N: Y:,
Nov.-28, 1815. It is a fout•column
sheet containing about a fifth as much
reading matter as the Journal; and
published ,at two dollars per annual,
one-half 'in advance.
What was then Newtown village is
now Elmira, large enough fur a ciiy.
There is little of interest in the num
ber Of the Telegraph betbre us, but
the following in relation to " Caucus
NoininatiouS," is worthy of repetition
at this time:
Many of 'the Republican editors express
opinions thvorabie to nominations by mem
hers of Congress: The measure is necessa
ry, say they, to prevent division of Republi
can votes; and n is open to examination by
the people, before anu after it is made. '
Experience has removed doubts on this
subject, by demonstrating that public opinion
has Jess influence on caucus nominations than
caucus nominations on public opinion. .The
former (that is caucus nominations) has di
rected tine latter ever since Mr. Jederson's
retireuient, .
In 1815 the party of Jeffer►on called
itself Republican, but even then caucus
nominations controlled public opinion.
We hope the Republicans of ;his day
will take %yarning from the errors of
the past- r -take care that public, opin
ion controls not only the nominations,
but the elections.
?P 3 alfur , P. of Planting
Where shall we fiqd sq pleasing aq qppre
ciatiou of the pleasures that attest the lover
ofof a garden. as in the following extract of a
letter from the venerable Dr. Fothergill :
" Punning and gardening supply a fund of
entertainment the most lasting and reasonable
of any occupation in this life, pleasures not to
be purchased. The trees which we ourselves
have planted, the fruits. we have raised, the
plants. we have cultivated, seem to be like
our ehildreh, a kind of new creation. Their
shade, their taste, their fragrance, and their
beauties, affect us with a' richer repast than
any other. 'What a pleasing scene' lies open
to a young man of fortune devoted to such
amusements. Lath succeeding year produceS
new shades,
.other fruit's, fresh. beauties, and
brings, besides, more profit. To behold the
rising groves, barrenness made fertile, our
country improved, ourselve.4 made useful and
happy, and posterity mulched! 1 have seldom
known a man possessed of a taste for such
pleatinres, who was not at the same dine tem
perate and virtuons,--_lforticithurist. -
These are pleasures which the peer : .
est and humblest may easily enjoy — .
In this country where land is so cheap,
every body may own a small lit en
which trees may be planted, fruit
grown, and a home beautified ; and
ivhoeyer is the possessor of a few
acres of land in this county, on Which
he has planted trees, we think, will
stay where he is if wise.
The Stone Hill Potato.
Last spring we mentioned having received
a sample of the Stems Hifi potato froth Mr.
D. A. Bulkley,. a professional gardener- of
Williamstown, Massachusetts, who obtained
this variety from the seed, and named it'after
his place, the Stone Bill Farm. We have
been very successful in its cultivatiOn. 'We
planted it close beside the Mercer potato, and
find it much superior to that both in sag, in
productiveness, and the healthfultieis of the
plant. The yield, so far as we were able .to
estimate,-was at the rate of about two hundred
bushels to the acre, which is a large one for
Long Island. The Mercers contiguous to it
are sughtlyiatlected with the potato disease,
bin in the Stone llill potatoes are no signs of
ill . ° disease whatever. Tha milers are large,
of a roundish shape, white:Skinned and white
within, and mealy when bailed. They have
this peculiarity, that if -dug before they have
attained their proper size, they are not, like
Most new potatoes, of a Waxy consistence, but
are farinaceous, and apt to break open in
boiling as if quite mature. The Stone Hill
potato we regard as a very important addition
to the stock of good potatoes, superior in sev
eral, respects to any commonly cultivated in
this region.—Ere. Post. .
We hope some of our enterprising
farmers will act on the above informa
tion. The Post is entirely reliable in
its statements, and the above is valu
ble information.
HENRY WARD BEiCIILRISM.—This clergY

IMPEACHMENT or JUDGE BANE
Seldom — has there
.been a, judical .
Outrage:equal to, that 'perpetrated' by
Judge itane. By wantonly thrusting
an innocent man into...prison, he has
. invaded J.hojiberty of every .citi,zen.
No manii . snfe where such . ab4ses are
practiced. It may •be a matter of
doubt whether the wrong in • this and
other similar cases;'which• have given
to his 'honor an unenviable notoriety,
•is the result of sheer igtieranco, or of
-moral obliquity, Chat ity inclines to
the for Mer view, and thus leaves us in
possession of whatever pomfore , can
arise from the reflection that' imbeeil
ty, rather than knavery, has caused
• the :evil. But, in either case, the this
chief is the•same--,people may as well
die by malignity as by Polly. In
either case, there is 'no remedy but
removal from of4ce, We, therefore,
heartily agree - with the?so journals
which demandthe imp's:man - ent of a
judge; Who has so repeatedly and
shamelessly prostituted hishigh office
to the slave power. 'l 7 he Independ:
ent of last week has the following;
"An act of tyranny, unprecedent
ed in tlie•history of our country, has
beer, perpetrated by a judge a the
federal court, and remains unre
dyessed. An unoffending citizen who
stated the exact truth in his return to
a writ' of the court, is imprisoned for
contempt, and most lie in jail at the
will of the Jeffreys who - has thrust
him in. The attempt to deliver the
prisoner by a writ of habeas corpus
from the Supreme Court of the State,
-hag failed, and there remains but one
method of redress.
5 judge Kane has abused his ppe
regative, and usurped the function:4 of
an absolute sovereign. He deserves;
therefore; to be impeached by the su
preme power from'which he holds his
office. Let petitions-be pored iitup:
on the House of Representatives for
the impeachment of Judge Kane.—
This, if Carried, will lead to a trial by
the Senate, and if that should not . re
sult in conviction, the exposure and
disgrace will he tnore thnn may man
can endure, Like his great ancestor,
this destroyer of the innocent, outlaw
ed from society, will Wander up and
down the earth, crying, " My punish
ment is greater than I can bear.' Let
every City, town, and village, move for
the impeachment of the modern Jeff :
reys."

the United States of America.

WHEELER vs. PASSMORE WIL
LIAMSON, John K. Kane, Judie of

Ploughts from Banning
Goverinnent resembles the wall which stir- .
rounds one's land, a' needful *protection, but
'rearing no harvests, ripening uq fruits. .It is
the individual who must choose whether the
enclosure shall be paradise or a waste. flow
little positive good can government confer!
it does not till our fields, build our houses,
weave the ties which bind us to our tontines,
give disinterestedness to the heart, or energy
to the intellect and will. All our great inter
ests are left to ourselves, and governments,
when they have obstructed them much more
than advanced them. For example they have
taken religion into their keeping only to dis
figure it. So education in their hands, has
beeome a propagator of servile maxims,. and
an upholder of antiquated errors. In like
manner, they have paralized trade by their
pqrsiug care, and multiplied poverty by their
expedients for its relief. Government has al
most always been a barrier against which in
tellect has had to struggle. end society has
made its chiefprogress by the minds of private
individuals, who have outstripped their rulers,
and gradually shamed their( into truth and
wisdom.
When I compare the clamorous preaching -
and passionate .declamation common in the
Christian World, with thp composed dignity,
the -deliberate wisdom, the freedom from all
extravagence, __which characterized Jesus, I
can imagine no greater contrast, and lam
sure that the fiery zealot is no representative
of Christianity.
The moment man parts with moral indepen
dence -the moment lie judges of duty, not from
the interests and will of a par ty, the moment
ho commits himself to a leader of a body, and
winks at evil, because divisions would hurt.-
the cause, the moment he shakes off his par
ticular respensihilities, because he is but oue
of a thousand or a million by whom the evil
is done, that moment he parts with his mor
al power. He is shorn of the energy of single
hearted faith in the rightand true. He hopes
from man's policy what nothing but loyalty to
God canaccomplish. He substitutes weapons
forged by man's wisdom for celestial power..
He who rears up one child in Christian vir
tue, or recovers one fellow' creature to God,
builds a temple more precious than Solomon's
or St. Peter's more enduring than earth or
heaven.

Of humanity, in Lettin g a' poor black
woman, who had beeliheld as a slave,
know that, brought within. the limits
of a free State, she was thenceforth a
free Women, owner of herself and
her children. Arid she, desiring above
all
,things to be a free woman, and
reasonably distrusting her former
master's word that he would give her'
her freedom if she would remain with
him, preferred ; to make her liberty
sure, by taking her rights and her
children, and going her way:
Her .former master, to get back his
slaves, appeals to the Judge of the
United States Conn, who grants a
habeas porpus, perverting that write of
liberty into an instrument of slavery,
and requires Mr. Williamson to pro
duce before him the bodies of dane
Johnson and her children, Mr. Wil
liamson returns an answer - that
: they
are not and never have been in his
possession, and. that he knows not
where they are. This was the simple
truth. .The United States Attorney
chcioses to declare it a falsehood, and.
moves the court that Mr. Williamson
tie committed for perjury and for con
tempt.
Judge Kane, after deliberation; con-
strues the true statement to be a legal
falsehood, and a defiance of the count,
grants the motion, and c o mmits Mr.
.Williamson, to prison for contempt,
"without bail or mainprige." Had
he committed him for perjury, he
might have had a trial ; as it is he
can have none; the judge is jury too,
and despot—sentences and condemns
to an imprisonment without limit and
without relief. Without limit, save
as he may choose to use his clemency;
without relief, save by unmanly sub
mission and dishonest retraction, on
the part of the prisoner. .
He cannot "purge himself from con
tempt" so lung as he keeps an honest
man's contempt fur perjury. And so,
for the simple acts of humanity and
truth-telling, Mr. Williamson' is im
prisoned during the.:will and at the
mercy of one man, for simply 'plead. ,
ing not guilty to a charge made by a
slaVeholdur,
But surely there , must be some
remedy. Surely there must be some
power in free, civilized Pennsylvania
which can interfere to arrest such
tyranny, and right such wren g. The
State courts will 'protect 'the citizens
of the State: yes, even against attor
neys, and judges, and ministers of*the
United
. States, The appeal is made
to them. From his prison Passmore
Williamson, reaches out his hand and
asks for justice, it is refused. . -
The Supreme Bench (with a noble
exception, that of Jtidge Knox,)
de
clares that it will not interfere. The
question .of contempt is a delicate
question; it is the duty of the court
to discourage all such contests' with
the legal tribunals of the country; Mr;
Williamson 'carries the liey Of his
prison iii his own pocket ; he car, come
out when he will conform and make
terms with the court that sent him
there.
So the State courts will not inter
pose. There remains no remedy but
impeachment. AfeanWhile William
son het. in Mod amensing prison, and
Kane is his brother's keeper.
So, in this our day and land, is
"judgment turned away backward."
We "look for justice, and In, oppres
sion; for righteousness, but behold, a
cry!" And this is our slavery. What
a spectacle before God, and a world
looking to us for the noble instance
of liberty ! In free and republican
American, a minister of the govern
nent proceeds to represent us abroad
with slave's in his train,
Oa the way, a countryman of Penn
and Franklin accosts them, not to see
them free, but simply to tell them that
they are already legally so. For this,
though a constructive charge, a govern
ment judge imprisons hip. And there
is no t emedy except through impeach
ment of that judge before a republi
can senate, half of whose members
are slave-holders
How .fast slavery is ultimating itself,
and showing in unmistakable fruits
what its genuine spirit of tyranny is!
We hope we shall hear no more of
"slavery's being wrong in the ab
stract, so fast it embodies itself in
ever new .and More hideous shapes.
The cancer cannot be hidden. Will
men begin to boast of its beauty 1 We
hope we shall bear no more of slavery's
being,_"a thing with which we hero at
the North have .nothing to do." It
has overleaped the borders.
It stands in northern Boston, and
with its gaunt hands puts chains
around the Court House, and on the
limbs of the black man, and hurries
him through a hedge of bayonets, each
red with the blood of Liberty, subsidi
zing government shipi and government
gold to accomplish its victory.
In Northern Kansas, armed with re-.
volver and bowie-knife, it invades tho
polls and tramples upon the franchise;
shakes its insulting fist with- oaths and
threats, in the face of freemen ;. defies
and ejects governors ; and, seated in
the legislative hills; issues laws punish,
in free speech with imprisonment,
and humanity with death.
'And now, in Northern Pennsylvania;
it mounts the bench, and binds the
judged' hands, and seals their lips,while
it turns the key of Passmore William
son's:prison and stands guard at the
door: And the North has - nothing to
do with it ! Nothing, but to submit.
"0 God, how long!" How long shall
we be paralyied, acquiescent, timid
and bOlind 1 How long shall we
shield ourselves from our duty and
the voice of God,
,by the evasive ques
tion, "Am I my brother's keeper 1"
FARMERS ERUCATE YOUR SONS,
"Even I, the descendant of a poor
line of cultivators, stretching back,
very likely, to him who through his
own .blindness and fatuity lost the sit
uation of head-gardener in Eden—
even I feel the all-prevailing, impulse
towards improvement and reform. I
can never be a scientific fanner—l am
too old and to heavily, laden with
duties and cares for that.---,but my sun,
if he lives, shall be. The little I ean•
teach him shall at least inspire him
with a craving for more, and set him
on the right track to learn it."
• If any man in the community may
be presumed to understand and .
to be imbued thoroughly with the
. progressive spirit of the age, that
man is Horace Grecloy. With his
peculiar political and social views and
feelings, we have nothing to do ; but
with the noble, energetic spirit he has
ever displayed, and with the immense
influence he has fbr years wielded
with such- prodigious effect, every
thing. The extract which we give
above is strictly - characteristic of the
man, and embodicrs--scntiments which
we should like to believe perVade-the
breast of every farmer in the land.
It is useless to attempt a concealment
of the great fact, that the spirit of
progress has laid - her hand upon al
most every tiller of the soil, and that
slowly, ho. certainly, the slumbering
spirit
of the giant agriculturoist awak
ing to a.cunsciousuess of its own im
mense importance. One by one the
old fashitmed _prejudices of by-gone
days are thrown aside, and th o s e W h o
a few years since indignantly discard
.ed the idea of making a single step in
advance of" daddy's plan of farming,"
are dither conforming ill full to the
onward movements of the age, or
oTadusilly adopting improved implo
ments, seeds, and methods of tillage.
But there aro very many, who like
Horace Greeley, "feel the all-pet vatt
ing- impulse towards ; improvement,"
but who are too old and too-heavily
laden with cares and business duties
to devote themselves to scientific
farming. To such we say, educa e
your sells, and educate th Len with
special reference to tha profession
which You" intend they shall .pursue
in after life. DA not be afraid that
in filling their minds with the great
truths of science you unfit them for
the physical duties of life. The man
who tills the earth understandingly—
who is acquainted with the character
of the soil he cultivates-the manures
he
. applies—the seed he sows, and
the harvest he gathers--,surely such a
man's daily toil is materially lessen. 24
by. the fact that every department of
it is conducted intelligently. Every
plant and leaf and blossom is to him
a subject of the deopest interest, be
cause a thorough knowledge of each,
so far from unfitting him fur his iv-irk,
'only enables him to prosecute it more
easily and more economically. \\ 'here'
farmer doggedly attributes his•
want of success to the weather, or to.
I.krovidenee, the educated man, know
ing thatuature is rarely in the wrong,
investigates the cause of the failure,-!
and generally succeeds in tracing it
to its proper source. " Forewarned,
foreartned." is a trite but a truthful
adage. The educated man provides
afratust a recurrence of the failore,
whilei the ignorant one, without either
the ability or inclination to-search out
the reasons why he failed in a particn
lar direction . ; " trusts to luck," and
succeeds- no .better than at first.
Ye that ate -skeptical in regard to
progressive farming, look around you
for a single moment, and if the
quows.of forty winters have fallen up
on you, go back twenty years Only;
and compare the farming of that day.
with the farming of the present day.
Loeit'at the farms which in the period
of twenty years have been improved
most, and our word for it, they were
those, i the cultivators of which were,
if not highly educated men, at least
those who did not condemn book farm
ing as -a humbug. Tl,ey were men,
who if they.had not, as the farmers of
the present day have, access to reli
able agricultural information in the
form of periodicals without number,
and
_newspapers - at mere nominal
prices, were possessed of au indomi
table spirit of.inquiry and energy—
the Men, in fact, to whom we are most
largely indebted for the facilities the
present generation of fatl - 14ms enjoy
for cultivating the soil intelligently,
pleasantly and_ profitably.
A hOod name is above rubies, but a good
heart is worth infinitely more. gander may
blight the former,- and vet 'may pass the latter
unscathed,—not even the smell of fire being
left on its garments.

Tun lIAS Rrn FLA3tr..—Pre
fessor Henry, befbre the American
Association of Science, gave odd re
sults touching the existence or I.ed
flames on the edge of the sun, as
ob
served during solar eclipses. .Thes;-;
projections of red - dame were ob
served again in' May. A blackboant
representation of them was given—
a circle with cloven tongues of tire,
During eclipse's, it appears, remark
able appearances of these flames have
been observed since the year
when Alexander -.and Henry were
astronomers together at Princeton.
0.,e used a yellow glass, the other a
red. It was fbund that these flames.
.cmuld only be observed through the
red gia.s. To te.-t this, last spring
'when the big eclipse happened-,
Jittery experimented at ‘Vashingt.et.'
Ile tujek a Loge burning-lens, such
are usually in-..the light-house seivire,
and concentrated the rays of the sun
upoe a piece, of shingle—the ‘vood
began to burn, when presto! the . same
sort of flames appeared; of a beautiful
pink color. A range of 'different lA
ored glasses was-brought to bear—but
through none of them, yellow, green,
nor anything else but red. could the
flame- be seen. Mr. Henry called is.
the architect of the Smithsonian 'lnsti
tutien, and had him look. He was eb
livioils of the existence of the flame;
till the red glass came. A candle Wa 3
taken up, and it. was invisible through
the red glass. The inference is, that
