ADDRESS TO THE FARMERS AND FRIENDS OF AGRICULTURE IN LANCASTER COUNTT. While it is universally conceded that in point of intelligence, wealth, geographical extent and fertil ity, Lancaster Countyis justly entitled to a decided pre-eminence over perhaps, any inland County in the Union, it may net be denied that* the develope ment of its immense Agricultural resources has but begun...We are fully aware that as a general thing, the annual average of our crops has been consider ebly beyond that of other sections of country equal ly fertile,—that the stout teams of the Conestoga have an* almost world : wide reputation, and that Lancaster County cattle always command a pre mium in the city markets; —neither are we igno? rant of the fact that the coffers of a large majority of our tillers Of the soil are filled to overflowing, and that joyous prosperity reigns everywhere.— With such gratifying evidences of success around us, it may seem singular that an effort should -be made to change this highly prosperous state of ‘af fairs. '“Let well enough alone,” is an <mcient and very truthful adage, but one that will scarcely ap ply,'in this age of progress. Whatever success may have attended the labors of the farmer, —however profusely a kind Providence may have scattered bountiful blessings around us,—although our crops may have been more abundant than our neighbors, our steeds stouter limbed and stronger, our cattle better fed, or the purses of our farmers better filled, there is still room for improvement. So long as we have not arrived at the very ultimatum of agri cultural skill and knowledge, no legitimate excuse can be offered for remaining stationary. It is in ac cordance with these views that the committee ear nestly invite your hearty co-operation in the move ment that is being made in behalf of the establish ment of a flourishing Agricultural Society in Lan caster County. Some of the peculiar advantages that must resalt from such an association, ii prop erly conducted, are briefly set forth forth below. It will not be denied that the more skill and knowledge a man possesses, the better he is quali fied, other things being equal, for the manrgement of his farm. The same remark will apply to the laborer. Assuming this as an axiom, the advanta ges that must inevitably re'Sult from a well conduc ted Agricultural Association, at once become ap parent. The dayrifas passed when Agricultural Societies and Annual Fairs, are to be considered of doubtful utility. A spirit, of laudable improvement, and honorable competition has so uniformly follow ed their efforts, that we are led to indulge the hope that no farmer, not wholly opposed to the spirit of improvement,'-will fo'r a moment hesitate in giving this his hearty support. In man’s rudest condition, the advantages of as sociation are as apparent, as in the most refined sta ges of civilization. The benefits of combined skill and energy, keep steady pace with his progress in improvement. By a well arranged combination of many means and capacities in the most available direction, societies can accomplish what individuals could never hope to do. In all other great depart ments of art and science, such combinations have been found absolutely indispensible; why not in the science of agriculture 1 ? Is there any knowledge coupled with successful agriculture, that may not be promoted by a generous co-operation? Is there no truly scientific skill or information requisite in the amelioration of different soils, the culture'bf plants, or in the rearing of valuable stock, which experienced men may not advantageously irrpart to the inexperienced? tyre there no great truths in nature which farmers are interested to know, or no peculiarly advantageous processes and appliances of art and science, that it behooves them to be fa miliar with, that they should not associate for the purpose of securing to themselves these advantages? Is agriculture so entirely practical that there is no occasion for artistic skill or scientific ment? It is admitted that farming is eminently a matter of fact business, and may be successfully pursued by the veriest clod-pole, whose knowledge of the objects of his labors may not be any greater than the ox he drives: but who is prepared to ad mit that absolute ignorance of his profession is the proper condition of any farmer. While thorough practical knowledge is absolutely necessary, an ade quate acquaintance with the properties and true character of the objects immediately concerned in agriculture is no less so. The farmer should keep pace with the great march of general intelligence. In this go ahead age, it is unmanly to lag behind, and the duty of every man is, to struggle lor the mastery of those giant spirits, that for good or evil are seeking to direct and control the destinies of communities and nations. As the great majority of the nation, the fanners must, from the noble pe culiarity of our institutions, control its destinv.— Upon them devolves the high duty of intelligently regulating its glorious career, or blindly hastening • its downfall. We, therefore, confidently turn to the proposed Agricultural Society as one of the by which the farmer will not only be better quali fied for the management of his farm, but for the ' discharge of his duties as a citizen of the Republic. It is not deemed necessary to present in detail the various matters that will engage the attention of the association. Subjects, such as are most in timately connected with the farming interest of our county, will, as a matter of course, claim para mount consideration, while the management of live stock, whether for work, for fattening, or for dairy ing; trials and tests of soils, manures, grasses, grains, plants, implements, modes of cultivation, modes of feeding, breeding, dairying: the effects of temperature, moisture, heat, light, electricity, and a host of others of like importance will be present ed and discussed. Thus will its meetings be char acterized by a spirit of interesting and useful inqui ry, which cannot but tend greatly to the advantage of all connected with it. “In union there is strength,” and it is self-evidlnt that associated action will not only advance the theory of agriculture, but that it must eventually lead to more perfect and certain remits in practical farming, than we have ever yet arrived at. Knowl edge must bring her powerful influence to the task’ —experiments must be made, and by a careful’ ; ' comparison of results, effects traced to their true ! causes. In no way can agricultural knowledge be j so thoroughly disseminated, and experiments so well compared, as through the medium of an agri cultural society. The committee, therefore, most earnestly solicit your hearty co-operation. If you have a single desire for the development and increased agricul ural prosperity of our noble county, we ask you to give your presence and influence to the meeting, on Tuesday, thef3d day of September. If there be prejudices in favor of any established mode of farm ing, lay them aside lor a little while, and test the value of the measures that will be presented for your consideration. By this means we shall be enabled to arrive at correct and true results, and lend a helping hand in placing agriculture where it properly belongs, foremost, in point of interest and usefulness.

Pursuant to adjournment, the Society met in the city of Lancaster, on Saturday, August 10th, 1850—the President in the chair. The Secretary being, absent, J. P. Wickersham was appointed Sec. pro. tem. On motion of Thos. Whitson, a committee was appointed to nominate officers to serve during the ensuing year. The chair appointed L. M. Hobbs, Dr. Sheller, J. A. Pearsol, Jeremiah Whitson, and J. P. Wickersham, said committee. On motion -j. H. Pearsol, a committee on was appointed, consisting of Letitia Bro sius, J. P. Wickersham, Ann Whitson, Dr. Shel ler, and William L. Rakestraw. Then on motion the Society adjourned till half past one o’clock. At the time fixed upon, the Society re-assem bled, and the committee on officers reported as fol lows, viz: President—Thos. Whitson. Vice Presidents—Jeremiah Whitson and Dr. A. Sheller. - Rec. Secretary—Wm. L. Rakestraw. Cor. Secretary—J. H. Pearsol. - Treasurer.—Enos Conard. Managers— Dr. J. Gibbons, L. M. Hobbs, Abner Brosius. v Which, oh motion, was agreed to, and they were elected. The business committee'offered a series of reso lutions, which being separately considered, and somewhat amended, were, with'’the exception of the last, adopted as follows: Resolved —That we understand the proper ob ject of government to be, the protection of the people in their rights, and believe that such was the design in the adoption of the Constitution of our own State: and we hold it to be subversive of the true end of government, and contrary to the spirit and intention of our constitution, for our • Legislature to enact any law that enables one set of men to destroy the property, increase the tax, endanger the lives, and mar the happiness of the . rest of the community; and such unquestionably is the effect of our present License system. Resolved— That we view, as mistaken in policy if not criminal in design, the conduct of our Leg islature in countenancing a traffic that causes men to commit crime, and become paupers; and then entailing heavy taxes upon the people to punish this crime, and support this pauperism; Compelling them to erect jails and build PooT-Houies,—first making victims, and then amusing themselves by contriving measures against them quenching; the fire with one hand, while they fan the blaze with the' other* Resolved —That in legitimate governments,4t is more the object to prevent the commission of crime by the enactment of good . and wholesome laws, than to punish offenders; and once .the Temper ance cause has accomplished much in die way of reforming men, and is calculated to effect much more, instead of meeting with neglect and suspi cion, it is a proper subject of government encour agement and protection. Resolved —That we can see no method by which oar Legislature can free itself' from all responsi bility for the sale of liquor, and the eril committ ed thereby, but by the ’repeal of the present Li cense system, and the passage of an entire prohib itory law; but if this be not granted, e . a . . at like other cases of crime and trespass, (if it is right to punish any. who transgress) that those who sell may be made answerable for the damage they do. Resolved —That as our Temperance petitions and remonstrances have been heretofore disregard ed by those elected to represent our county in the legislature, that we feel it our duty, to call upon the different parties in the settlement of their tickets, and give them plainly to understand that we cannot support any man who we know is op posed to Temperance principles. Resolved—^ Thai we have observed with regret the manifest indifference exhibited by the friends of temperance throughout this county; and in no re spect is that indifference more to be condemned than in their almost entire abscence from the meetings of the county Society. Resolved —That mere empty profession without active co-operation in behalf of the Temperance enterprise, is a testimony against the evil so feeble in its nature, as to contribute but little to the ad vance of the cause. Resolved —That we recommend to the temper ance people throughout the county, to petition to the retailers of spirituous liquors in their respec tive neighborhoods, asking them to cease from a traffic 'which disseminates and entails such a vast amount of misery upon their fellow men. The last resolution, after being discussed at some length, was, on motion, referred for further consideration to next meeting. Dr. Sheller offered a resolution in reference to procuring Temperance Statistics; but in order for its more definite arrangement, it was on motion re ferred to the following committee, viz. Dr. Sheller, fi; F. Hobbs, and Rev. Mr. Dodge, to report to next meeting. On motion, it was voted that when we adjourn, we adjourn to meet in Friends Meeting House in Bart Township on the 2d Saturday in November. On motion it was voted that the proceedings of this meeting be published in.all the county papers that will publish them, and also in the ‘Pledge & Standard.’ On motion the meeting adjourned, Tiios.

AUDITOR GENERAL: EPHRAIM BANKS. SURVEYOR GENERAL: J. PORTER -BRAWLEY. “A Democrat” will appear in our next. Messrs. Stevens and Kaufman, of Congress’ Have our thanks for public documents. ID* A necessary absence from home on yesterday will account for any imperfections in this paper. ID* We are reluctantly compelled to postpone the publication of the Address of the Dem. State Central Committee, until our next issue. It is a document of great power, and will not spoil in the kecepingl “ County Committee meeting. It will be seen by* reference to the proceedings of the Democratic Co. Committee, published in another column, that a resolution was passed deeming the ap pointment of Delegates to the Reading State Conven tion inexpedient, at the present time. This, we j think, was right and proper, as after a few months ! they can be appointed with a view not only to the the nomination for Governor and Canal Commis sioner, but also to the selection of Judges for the Supreme Court, in the event of the proposed amendment to the Constitution being adopted by the people.. We are confirmed in this opinion by the following article, from the Harrisburg Keystone ot Tuesday last, probably the very last production of the late Jesse Millf.ii, its 'editor, whose senti* ments we have long known on this subject! Hear what he says:— The object of party organization and political conventions is to afford the people an opportunity to express their opinions in regard to public men and measures, and to concentrate public sentiment upon candidates, so that the will of a majority of; the people may prevail at the elections, and their wishes in relation to measures, be respected and obeyed. This is certainly the theory of our dele gate and convention system, and if the masses of the people would give to the questions of the day proper attention and turn out to the delegate elec tions, it would no doubt be found as efficient in practice as it is beautiful in principle. Btft like all other things which depend on the action and conduct of men, it is liable to abuse and to be made the means of defeating the good it was designed to advance. Among the abuses and evils ; of the system, us that the practice which prevails in some counties of appointing delegates as much as a year, and in others many months, be fore the time of the meeting of the convention, is one which requires correction. The conferring of long terms of office by which the incumbent is far removed from the power of the people, has always been regarded as anti-dtmo cratic. By the provisions of our constitution, mem bers of assembly are elected only for one year.— Yet by the practice that prevails in some counties, delegates are appointed to nominate candidates for Governor and Canal Commissioner a year in ad vance of the term of the meeting of the convention and as sixteen months before the day of election. These appointments are frequently made before there is any development of public sentiment in relation to the candidates, and sometimes with out it being known what offices are to be filled.— This was the case in regard to the last conven tion, and is so in reference to the coming one. This ia all wrong and anti-democratic in the highest degree. The nominations ought to be made in accordance with public sentiment at the time of nomination. The people, therefore, by delegating their power so far m advance of the meeting of the convention, have no assurance whatever that their opinions will be respected. Many great changes may occur in public sentiment in the course cf a year or ten months. The next democratic state convention is to be held in June, 1851, at Reading, about ten months from tliis time; yet delegates have already been ap pointed in several counties toattend it. This is de cidedly wrong. It is not now known, and cannot be known with certainty what officers are to be nomi nated until after the next election. Should the pro posed amendment to the constitution be adopted, it is presumed there will be five candidates for judges of the supreme court to be nominated. The object of the proposed change, it is under stood, is to transfer the appointment iof these offi cers from the governor with the approbation of the senate, directly to the people ; but if they are to be nominated by delegates appointed without any re ference to the wishes of the people, and so far in advance of the meeting of the convention, we do not think the people will have much more to do with their selection than they have had under the present system. The next state convention will, in all probability, be one of very great importance, and we think the, selection of delegates to attend it, ought to be as near to the time of its meeting, ag may be conve nient, so as to afford the people a full opportunity to express their wishes and preferences in relation to the several candidates. We think the months of April and May next would be about the proper time for the appointment of delegates. In making these observations, we have no object or purpose whatever, except to draw public attention to the import! nee of the subject. The way they do things at Blaibsville , Pa. —The Blairsville Apalachian publishes the follow ing under the head of « business like— - A man having died recently, an undertaker was called in, and the bereaved widow inquired what the cost of a coffin would be. On being in formed, she remarked that “that was cheaper than she expected to get it,” and'told him to gent ready, and “he should have his pay as soon as it was done.” When it was brought, she handed over the money, and closed the transaction by inviting tbe coffin-maker to take a drink. l ’ The Balloon Ascensions* • According to- -FridajriESt, * Dumber of topical ascensions were made from this city, in ‘the Balloon tl Hercules,” of from 600,t0. 1000 feet high—much to the gratification of the large assemblage who witnessed them, as well as those who ventured to make the experiment. * All who were : up in the Balloon speak of the View as magnificent almost beyodd.description, and as well calculated to impress upon.their minds the superior beauty and fertility of’Lancaster county over that of almost any other section of our great country. A slight rain falling in the forenoon, prevented as many from going up as would otherwise have ventured. At 3 o’clock, all things being ready, and the passengers, consisting of Mrs. Wise, her neice, and son, having taken their places in the car, Mr. Wisf. cut loose from terra firma and gradually ascended to the heightb of near a mile. For the space of a few minutes the Balloon, in consequence of entering a cloud, wa9 hidden from view. Upon leaving the cloud, Mr. W. made a gradual descent to the eaith and landed east of the city, near Wit mer’s Bridge, about one mile and a half from the place ol starting—from whence the “Hercules” was safely towed into town and secured for Saturday's operations. We*understand that the,ladies were highly gratified with the trip, and expressed regret that arrangements previously made rendered it necessary to limit their pleasant voyage. But we must stop. A slight rent was made in the Balloon—probably caused in towing it past some large trees in East Kihg Street—so small as not to be observed, but sufficient to permit a large quantity of gas to escape during the night, and thereby rendering it impossible with the diminished quantity of gas, (although the rent might have been repaired,) to attempt any ascensions on Saturday. This was a great disappointment, not only to the intrepid areonaut himself, who had determined on making a long voyage during the afternoon, but also to a large number of our citizens who were anxious to make topical ascensions so as to get a view of the surrounding country. This accident is the-more to be regretted, inasmuch as Mr. Wise and the gentlemen associated with him were at a heavy expense in preparing for these contemplated operations—an expense by no means covered with the receipts of Friday, owing to the rain which prevailed during a part of the day. We hope the “Hercules” will be speedily re paired, and that our citizens may soon again be gratified with the opportunity of making further topical ascensions, if nothing else. The regret is> that Mr. WisE, owing to the other arrangements spoken of, was not at liberty to make his long voy age on Friday. The evening was fine, with a gen tle breeze from the west —the Balloon in perfect trim—and nothing to prevent him making a jour ney of fifty or sixty miles with safety to himself and to his interesting family. Truth well Told! Speaking of the premature movements made in certain quarters in reference to the next Presidency, the West Chester Republican, edited by that staunch old Democrat, Nimhod Strickland, says truly: “ In our opinion it will be quite time enough for the Democracy of Pennsylvania, to take hold of this question earnestly, a year hence ; —after that of nomination for Governor shall have been regularly disposed of by a State Convention.” And again— “The Democracy of the country-can’t afford to be defeated in the next Presidential campaign. It does not become them, therefore, to assume any risk or danger of defeat, through attachment to any particular man. It won’t do to go into the contest, with a probability, amounting almost to certainty, th*t this and that State which rightfully belong to us, will certainly be against us.” Whether there will be any inclination to "doubt ins (Strickland's) democracy,” for thus expressing his honest opinions against the premature agitation of the Presidential question, we do not know—nor do we suppose, he cares very much, as the insinua tion, if made, would be so supremely ridiculous in itself, as to scarcely excite any thing else than a smile at the silliness which gave vent to it. Louisville Democrat, in reference to the late elections in Indiana, says: “ The Madison Banner complains very much of the conduct of whigs in supporting democratic can didates for office. The same complaint might be made in this city. The truth is, late movements in various States have been very unfortunate for the whig party. In framing State constitutions, we have to go back to the first principles of Govern ment, and thus thousands of whigs find out that their politicians and leaders are very unsound in their elementary notions. Their conservatism, as they call it, amounts to a suspicion of the first truths of republican government. The mass of whigs sympathize with no such suspicions. They are democrats in principle. They repudiate earnestly any such slang as the ‘Jeffersonian debauchery” in politics. They are disciples of Jefferson themselves. In such contests, old hunker whigs, who control the general policy of the whig party, show the cloven foot of federalism. Hence they are routed before the people whenever a new constitution is to be made, and democrats are chosen. This is the se cret of whig failure in such cases in strong whig States. The people are not whigs, and when the real test comes, they rebel, as they did in Kentucky and Ohio, and even in Vermont; and as they will do everywhere. Besides, we ask what satisfaction an intelligent whig.can have/in reflecting upon the conduct of his party. He labored hard to elect a whig Pres ident. The whigs have control of the federal gov ernment, and what has that government done?— This whig administration has demoralized its own party whose very instincts were disregarded in the nomination for President. The party was torn to pieces by opposite sentiments and pledges in oppo site sections of the Union. The administration met an opposing phalanx in its own party. The posi tion of the cabinet was equivocal and mysterious; operating for the benefit of one section secretly and trying to keep a fair front to the other. It was' unsupported whilst it lasted, and a large portion of its party rejoiced at its dissolution. We don't say they rejoiced that General Taylor died; but they considered the consolations with great satisfaction.” Hon. R. P. Flenniken. This gentleman, a resident of Uniontown, is strongly recommended by the Waynesburg (Greene Co.) Messenger, for the U. S. Senate to succeed Dr. Sturgeon. Mr. Flennjken is yet in the prime of life and withal a most worthy and talented gentle man. Whether as a member of our State Legis lature or as Foreign Minister, he always did his duty ably and faithfully, and elicited the warmest commendations from all quarters at home and abroad* Should he be selected for the Senate, there is no man in the State—and there are a number of distinguished gentlemen spoken of in connection with the office—who would fill it with more dignity, or command more respect in that august body. The Fohiiest Divorce Case. —Mr. Forrest, the tragedian, has published his declaration or com plaint before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in the city and county of Philadelphia, ask ing a decree of divorce from his wife, whom he charges with adultery with seven different persons, the same whose names figured in the former peti tion to our Legislature. Mr. Forrest swears that his statement is true to the best of his knowledge and belief; that the said complaint is not made out of levity and by collusion between him and her, the said Catherine, and for the mere purpose of being freed and separated from each other, but in sincerity and truth for the cause mentioned in the said libel.

United States Senator* The Democratic presa ol Penuplvuua, >ay& the Pittsburg Post, are now engaged in discussing toe merits of the respective candidates for U. S. Sena tor. This is right. The last Norristown Register has a long and very able article on this subject, in which the editor takes strong ground in favor of the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, of' Somerset, as the. most suitable candidate for the office in question.' We copy the concluding paragraphs of the article: II seem* to be conceded, says the Register , that the western portion of our State is the section from which the U. S. Senator ought to be chosen. The east is already represented in that body, and our western Democratic brethren who contribute so cheerfully and efficiently to our party triumphs, deserve mat one of their number should be honor ed by an election to this important post. Several distinguished western gentlemen have been named in connexion with the office, all of whom are high ly competent and worthy, and with either of whom the interests of Pennsylvania would be safe. It is not, therefore, with any invidious feeling, that we express a preference for one over the rest—-but simply because we have noticed, particularly, the talents and sterling weight of character of that one, and feel that Pennsylvania could not find, in all her broad limits, an abler or more faithful and pat riotic Senator than he would make. We allude to the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, of Somerset county; a man who has gained for himself 'the unbounded esteem of the people by whom he is surrounded, and who is universally acknowledged to possess abilities of the highest order, to render him an or nament to the Senate, and an honor to the State which placed him there. We mentioned his name incidentally in a brief paragraph written on a former occasion. It was responded to. with the warmest enthusiasm by many of our Democratic brethren of the press, in differ ent parts of the State, but especially so by those in the immediate vicinity of Judge Black’s residence and judicial district. They know the man—they appreciate his worth—and like ourself, feel that with such a champion in the Senate of the United States, Pennsylvania’s interests would be efficiently guarded and Pennsylvania’s honor nobly sustained. Exploded. We have been trying to recollect whether there are any of the whig doctrines preached in this sec tion, during the campaign of 1848, that are now owned by that party, but our memory is at fault if any there he. “ Taylor and Free Soil!" headed at least two handbills for whig meetings held in this county during that campaign, while the “Tar iff of ’42came in for a display line, like a jewel in the crown. The doctrine of-non-intervention, avowed by Gen. Cask and the'Democratic party, was hooted at as heretical. The tariff of ’46 was incurable even by modification, and nothing would do but the election of Taylor and Fillmore. Well, what has been the result ? The whig candidates were elected, and the whig leaders have got office, but what has become of “ Free Soil?" The whig administration has hung that up to dry,jn the Ex ecutive mansion. The Democratic doctrine of non intervention has superseded it, and the whig orators cry aloud, amen! The tariff of ’42 is abandoned as a rotten carcass incapable of resurrection, and a modification of the new law is now -only thought of. Modification! that is Democratic. If the tarifi of ’46 has defects, remedy them. We think a tariff law should be altered every year, to operate equally upon all sections and interests. But the rotten and defunct tariff of *42, over winch the whigs preached, prayed and sang so much—which ivas to be resuscitated by the election of Tayloi and Fillmore, where is it? Alas !it is nearly forgot ten!—the mourners have all fled, and now, none are found “so poor as to do it reverence.” Such is the character of whiggery and such its princi ples.—Lycoming Gazette. following remarks were made by Sena tor Sturgeon, as an offset against some “ panic and ruin” petitions, presented by the Hon. James Cooper. Mr. Sturgeon said: “ I have no doubt, Mr. President, that the iron interest in Pennsylvania is in a depressed condition at the present time. That, I believe is pretty gen erally admitted, so far as the conversion of the iron from the rough state into bars, &c„ is concerned. I think, however, Mr. President, that.l have infor mation that there is more iron manufactured in the city of Pittsburg at the present season, and at a greater profit, than was ever manufactured before in Pittsburg. It is evident, as the gentleman has stated in his remarks upon introducing these me morials, that this depression ol the iron interest in Pennsylvania and the United States generally has arisen from the business being overdone in Europe, and perhaps also here. The result is a temporary depression. Iron manufacturers at home and abroad must reduce the quantity of their manulacture.— They are already doing so abroad. I think the in formation is to be relied upon, that already sixty three furnaces have been broken down. It is well known to the world, that a few years since there was a railroad system extending over Europe, which turned out, on trial, to be a bubble. It burst up, after having induced a great amount of capital to go into the iron interest; and it is the depression consequent upon that state of things which has now produced depression in the United States. I con sider this depression only temporary,.and I venture to say that it will be removed within five or six months. Now, Mr. President, I think my friend has been also mistaken in regard to the coal interest of Pennsylvania. I think in 1849 the amount of coal mined exceeded that of 1848 by some 300,000 tons —there being in 1848 3,000,000, and in 1849, 3, 300,000 tons. This year, I learn, it will as much exceed the amount in 1849: it will amount to 3, 000,000 tons. I do not know where my friend got his information; but I believe mine is correct. Mr. Cooper, (in his seat) Both are correct. Mr. Sturgeon. Both correct? They differ very much. Mr. President, the evil complained of is slight when compared with the remedy—a perma nent establishment of high rates of taxation by tariff. This depression is temporary, and will right itself; but if we raise the tariff at the present time, it will be a permanent tax —a permanent sad dle upon the agricultural interests of the country. The situation of Pennsylvania was never more prosperous than at this moment. Agricultural products command a price one-third higher than from 1842 to 1846. Flour was then $3,50, and now brings $5,35. Again, Mr. President, our wool en interests are increasing and prosperous—wools bringing 20 to per cent, more now? than for the last seven or eight years. So far as her agricultural interests are concerned, Pennsylvania was never in a more prosperous condition; and this temporary depression will correct itself in less than six months. That is my judgment.” Indlaua Election.

Northampton County. Among the resolutions passed at the Democratic County Meeting, held at Easton on the 19th inst., was one disapproving of the proposed amendment' to the Constitution, in the followfng words: Resolved , That we do not approve of the propo sed amendment to the Constitution, for an elective judiciary; that, in our opinion, it *vill drag the ermine of justice into the contests of party politics —will endanger the purity of the judiciary, and will fill with demagogues and intriguing politicians the places which should only be filled with men distinguished for professional ability and conscien tious uprightness, and will, in the end, bring the administration ot justice into disrepute, and thus undermine the very foundations of society—and that we recommend to our fellow Democrats to de feat it at the polls. We had thought that almost every body was in favor of the proposed amendment. It appears, however, that we are mistaken, as the. Easton cor respondent of the Pennsylvanian , says “ there were but two or three dissenting voices to this resolution —so unanimous is the feeling here against the pro posed amendment*’ —and predicts that Northampton county will give 2,00 U majority against it. The same Meeting unanimously passed a resolu tion denouncing the Apportionment Bill of the last session, and censuring Gen. Suimkr, the Senator from that county, for voting for it. The Senate is still engaged upon the Fugitive Slave bill, while the House is slowly progressing with the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill. The great questions, however, which were passed upon by the Senate—we mean those of California and the Territories—are still undisposed of, and will scarcely be settled for some time to come. It Is supposed the bills will all pass, but not without encountering the most strenuous opposition from the ultras and factionists of tne North and the South. Court of Quarter Sessions, August Term.
