THE STATE CONTEST.
The interest everywhere manifested in
the People's convention, says the North
American, is auspicious of the result, as it
betrays the depth to wlvch the popular
heart of the good old Commonwealth has
been stirred, and how firm is the purpose to
rest not until a signal rebuke shall have been
administered to the National Administra
tion for the gross outrages on civil rights per
petrated by its authority and covered by its
protection; for the extravagance with which
it has squandered the public treasures, and
the bankruptcy its party has brought upon
every branch of trade and industry by ru
inous tariff latvs.
From all appearance the State Conven
tion will reflect with fidelity the varied
segments of the great People's party. As
the initial step in the organization of a
movement which is destined to sweep the
Uai .1 sooner or later, it will possess an im
portance beyond what ordinarily attaches to
a State Convention. The State of Dela
ware has already thrown itself boldly into
the organization, and thereby merged all
other associations. But it requires the de
cisive action of a great body like Pennsyl
vania to give to the movement a national
importance. Our Commonwealth occupies
a very commanding position in public af
fairs, as she has always done, and though
her action has not always been intelligent
or ' 'iciou? it is always prompted by a
spirit of conservatism and patriotic devo
tion which cannot fail to elicit respect.
It is clear, then, that whatever may be
done at the State Convention, will be re
garded with general interest all over the
country. There are many who despair of
the ultimate success of the I'nion organi
zation, being unable to perceive on what
basis the variuus sections of the Opposi
tion can meet and harmonize. We have
no such fear. So far as our observation
has extended, Americans, Republicans,
Whigs and Anti-Lecompton Democrats are
thoroughly united in detestation of the
measures and policy of the Buchanan ad
ministration. They denounce free trade
and favor protection; they demand economy
and a reduction of the national expenditures;
they want an administration which will de
vote the surplus means of the treasury ti>
the completion of our fortifications, and
the improvement of rivers and harbors;
they demand that the civil rights of the
people of the territories shall he maintained
inviolate against the invasions of banded
ruffians, the machinations of official rogues,
the schemes of slavery propagandists, and
the chicanery of partisan hirelings. There
is nothing in this which ought not to be
agreeable to everybody, north or south, de
sirous of good government. Whether any
thing ought to be incorporated with it, re-'
mains for the Convention ; decide.
ACQUITTAL. OK GEN. LANE.
The Leavenworth Daily Ledger of the
2d iust., announces the acquittal of Gen
eral Lane of the charge of killing Jenk
ins. The Ledger remarks, editorially :
The Court were unanimous in their opin
ion, and we feel fully justified in saying that
the evidence adduced for and against the pris
oner warranted them in arriving at the con
clusion they did. We have read the entire
testimony carefully and impartially, and ar
rived at the same conclusion several days
since. We defy any lawyer in the country to
come to any other conclusion, after a careful
and impartial reading of the testimony.
We are no political friend of General Lane.
We despise every political sentiment that he
ever uttered, at the same time, as a public
journalist, we feel it incumbent upon us as a
public duty to assent to the judgment of the
examining Court, a i to ar-cord to them all
praise. Col. Jenkius -vas a particular friend
of ours, and we are free to confess that our
sympathies are in that direction, but we de
termined to hear the final result ere we spoke
one word.
1 he testimony proves conclusively that Col.
.Jenkins was the aggressor, accompanied by
taree friends, all armed ; and that the party
were closing in on General Lane, and actual
ly shot at him twice ere he showed signs of
self protection and the man who would not
protect himself if , n his power to do so,
would prove to the wor d that he was unfit to
live, and too contemptible to die. Gen Lane
acted just as every man should act under like
circumstances, and public opinion will sus
tain him. We dismiss this subject from our
columns with the remark that, let the man he
friend or foe of ours, in a case .f life and
death, we will endeavor to do him justice,
" though the heavens fall."
How the " Ten Cent System" Works.— The
Miners' Journal says out of the twenty one
furnaces in the valley of 'he Sciiuyikill, only
four or hvo are in blast, and one or two of
those propose stopping, unless the demand for
iron improves. No wonder the coal business
is prostrated.
Resale of the Delaware Division.
On Saturday last, the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company, to whom the Legislature
at its late session conveyed all the State
canals, resold the Delaware Division to a
company of ten or twelve of our leading
capitalists, namely, J. V. Williamson, A. S.
& G. Roberts, A. G. Fell, E. W. Clarke &
Co., Win. Longstreth, the Messrs. Boric,
Chas. Henry Fisher, Judge Hepburne,
Ephraim Marsh, of New Jersey, and some
others. Included in the list, w r e are told,
there are five Presidents of Banks, Kail
roads and Canals. The persons named are
of unquestioned means, and wholy unex
ceptionable as purchasers on the score of
ability and probity of character. The
price stipulated to be paid is one million
seven hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars! payable as follows :
Mortgage bonds, at C per cent., $1,250,000
Preferred 8 per cent, stock, 100,000
Ten monthly payments of $40,000,
secured by collateral, 400,000
Cash, on execution of the papers, 75,000
$1,775,000
This bargain, on Saturday afternoon, was
approved by the Governor, and is of course
complete. The cash payment of $75,000
was made, and the purchasers organized
into a company, under the title of the Dela
ware division of Pennsylvania Canal Com
pany, and elected Jay Cook, Esq., President.
After this sale was made an offer of two
millions was made, on behalf of the Lehigh
Navigation Company, but it was consid
ered t'o late, the sale having already been
completed, and frequent attempts having
already been made previously to obtain a
bid from the Lehigh Company.
THE RICH MAN. — The desire of nearly
all is to be rich in this world's goods, fan
cying that therein consists human happi
ness, yet what poor man that has noted
those with "mammon" imprinted on their
foreheads, their thoughts bent alone on
money even while one foot is tottering
" O
over the grave, would exchange his lot for
such a life? Gold has its uses, and may
be a source of enjoyment to those who can
use it as designed by the nobler feelings of
cur nature, but if tainted with a miserly
disposition or oppression, the laborer who
toils from morn until night to gain a pre
carious existence, is far happier than the
possessor ot tens of thousands.

Dreadful Accident by Lightning.—A
young man by the name of Rudolf Cotton
was killed by a stroke of lightning, on last
Saturday, at the house of widow McKay,
in Indiana, opposite Carrollton, Kentucky.
Ihe electric fluid struck a scythe iu the
hands of a person near by, and glancing
along it entered the bat of Cotton, and
passing through his body shivered a stone
on which he was standing into a thousand
fragments. He fell dead. Two daughters
of Mrs. McKay were struck insensible by
the shuck at the same time, and the ear
rings of one of the ladies were melted from
her eais. ihe girls are not expected to
recover. Cotton and one of the ladies
were to have been married shortly.

LOCAIi AFFAIRS
PUBLIC MEETING
At a meeting held in the Town Ilall on
Monday evening, July 12, 1858, WM.
BROTHERS of Reedsville, was called to
the chair, Col. WM. BUTLER appointed
Vice President, and Geo. W. Patton, Sec
retary.
George Frysinger, Col. J. Hamilton and
John Cubbison were appointed a committee
to report resolutions, which, being read,
were unanimously adopted, to wit:
Resolved, That the interference of the Gen
eral government in the Territorial affairs of
Kansas in order to introduce slavery against
the expressed wishes of a large majority of
its resident citizens, was an act of flagrant
wrong and glaring injustice ; at war with the
spirit of our institutions ; unworthy of the ru
lers of a free people, and deserving a stern re
buke at the ballot-box from all who are oppo
sed to centralizing monarchical power in the
hands of one who, instead of being the ser
vant of the people, has assumed prerogatives
that belong only to a master.
lie solved, That as an evidence of the falla
cy of encouraging foreign workshops in pref
erence to our own, wo point the laboring men,
mechanics, merchants and others, to the in
disputable fact that the wages of labor are
retrograding towards the European standard;
that our iron and other manufacturing estab
lishments no longer afford employment to the
thousands of families formerly employed in,
and supported by them ; and that, as a nat
ural consequence, all so formerly employed
are now in competition with other labor.
Resolved, That the true doctrine of a Pro
tective Tariff is to admit all products and
manufactures, which we cannot raise or man
ufacture ourselves, dutyfree; and to encour
age the industrial pursuits in all others by
an imposition of duties sufficient to protect
them against the pauper labor of Europe—
leaving to our own people to bring and keep
down the prices of all such articles by that
spirit of competition which has so signally
manifested itself in every department, from
the manufacture of a pin to a seed-drill, reap
ing machine, &c.
Resolved, 'I hat wo shall hail with unfeigned
satisfaction a manifestation on the part of the
People's Convention, (to assemble at Hurris
burg on Wednesday next,) to avoid everything
Circulated to engender ill feelings hy refer
once to past issues; fully believing that tne
questions forced on the American people by
the present corrupt, extravagant and monar
chical administration of James Buchanan,
are broad enough and important enough to
merit the united opposition of a'l who favor
free thought, free speech, and free labor; of
all who desire to rebuke pledges and promises
made in the campaign of 185b hut to he bro
ken as soou as power was attained; and of all
who bold to the principle that the less we are
entangled with foreign alliances and foreign
influence the better for our future welfare.
Resolved, That the course of Gen. Simon
Cameron in the 1 . S. Senate meets with our
approbation in about the same degree that
we despise the truckling and imbecility of
William Biglcr, who misrepresents all parties
in Pennsylvania save the cormorants who are
plundering the U. S. Treasury.
Resolved, That SAMUEL S. WOODS be and is
hereby appointed Representative Delegate to
the People's Convention to meet at Harrisburg
on the 1 -Itli instant.
Resolved, That we recommend JAMES M.
SEI.I.EKS, E-q , ol Juniata, as Senatorial Del
egate to said convention.
'1 he committee reported the representa
tive delegate in blank, and the name of
Mr. Woods was inserted by the meeting.
DESTRUCTION OF WILD FRUIT TREES.
—ln sonic of our rambles over (he hills
and through the woods, we notice that the
villainous practice of destroying mulberry
and other trees in order to obtain their
fruit, is still practised. On the ridt/e sev
eral fine mulberry trees, among them one
noted for bearing remarkably large ones,
were torn down limb by limb, instead of
shaking or going to a little pains to pick
them, and thus rendered useless hereafter.
We hope the first owner of property who
will catch one of these scoundrels at this
infamous work, whether man, woman, boy
or girl, will have no hesitation in enforcing
a recent act of the legislature, which im-
poses a severe penalty for such doings,
more worthy of an ignorant savage than
civilized people.
The discharge of fire arms is also begin
ing to be heard in the neighborhood of
town, and many a poor bird, perhaps with
half-fledged young dependent on it for life,
has no doubt been ruthlessly shot down by
those who will exercise this cruel "sport"
for the sake merely of shooting. Cannot
an association be formed for carrying into
effect the bird law? -V simple rule pledg
ing each member to give information, and
the payment of a small sum annually to
employ a proper person to prosecute all
snch cases, is all that is needed.
AGRICULTURAL MEETING. —The Mif
flin county Agricultural Society, at its last
annual meeting, designated some meetings
for discussion, among which the following
are yet to come off :
At Belleville, Thursday, July 22d.
Subjects for discussion Potation of
Crops and Improvement of Stock general
ly.
At Lewistown, Wednesday, August 4th.
Subject— Hotr to interest Agriculturists in
their profession.
Members of the Society and all others
interested in agricultural affairs are invited
to attend these meetings, so well calculated
to impart useful information respecting the
crops, different modes of tillage, Ac.
flf-iy' We were in error last week in sta
ting that Holland had escaped from the
jail; it was the colored boy Ike who had
secreted himself about the furnace, and
then got out. Holland is still in.
LEWTSTOWN ACADEMY. —The connec
tion of Mr. Warner with this institution
will cease on Saturday next, he having re
signed some time ago to take effect on that
day. Under his charge the Academy has
been in a good condition, and both Trus
tees and scholars part with him and Miss
Mabbett with regret. Several applications
are before the Board to fill the vacancy, so
that the institution will again open at its
regular term.
esuThe attention of those about to en
gage in teaching is called to the advertise
ment in to-day's paper of a Normal Class.
In no place now do we more need trained
and competent men than in our schools.
Such teachers can only be produced by a
course of study and preparation. In this
the Class promises to aid them. The suc
cess of the principal in this can he fully
endorsed by those who have already attend
ed. We hope to see a full turnout from
all parts of the county.
THE CHOPS. —From personal observation
in this vicinity and authentic information
from different parts of the county, we are
satisfied that there will not be more than
half a crop of wheat. The weevil has in
jured it severely, and most of that which
ripened is not so full and plump as was
expected. There are exceptional fields of
early Mediterranean where the wheat is
excellent.

Mower in town the other day, anxious we

sician of that town, to whom we have permis
sion to refer. A young lady who had long
labored under an affection of the lungs, was
considered by her friends as beyond the reach
of medicine, and she was informed by her
medical attendant that she must die. She
was induced to send for a bottle of Wistar's
balsam of Wild Cherry as a last resort. The
young lady experienced great relief, and two

FREEBURG ACADEMY.
Mr. Editor:—The semi-annual examina
tion and exihibition, in this institution of
learning, took place on the fourth June, and
reflected much credit on the Principal, Mr.
McFarland, and his assistants, Mr. Galbraith
and Miss Annie S. Christ, as also on the stu
dents under their care. All the various
branches of an English education, together
with vocal and instrumental music, drawing,
and the French, Latin and Creek Languages
are taught in this Academy.
Its healthy location in the town of Free
burg, which is situated in a beautiful valley,
five miles from the Susquehanna river, and
the same distance south west from the flour
ishing town of Selin's Grove, affords unusual
advantages.
To parents and wards who are under the
necessity of placing their children abroad,
this institution presents inducements seldom
to be met with. Those desiring not only the
intellectual, but also the moral and religious
culture of their children, will not be disap
pointed by findingja place for them at this in
stitution.
The examination, already referred to, ren
dered more than usual satisfaction to parents
and others who take an interest in the proper
culture of the rising generation ; and the ex
hibition cn the evening of the day named,
which consisted mostly in original composi
tions by the students, was not less satisfacto
ry. These compositions evinced clearly, that
this important branch of learning had receiv
ed due attention. I am confident that some
of the essays read on this occasion would
have been received with favor, if they had
been presented by members of a class in a
College. OBSERVER.
