we — tari GtAit's ietterio WatfitilkClTON, Monday, Oct,-_B ,;ls thrid Stn: Since the conversation ; ;we hid op on the subject of the unfortunate divisitin in the De mocratic p•rrty in New York, I feel maraud more convinced that the present disurganistruon cannot fail to endanger the success of the: principles of the party there, and prove itijorinas elsewhere... it the reparation is .eflectet). A convieti , rti has forced itself on my wititl, that by Democrats pledged to each ether upon a vnmmon• :platform - 0 . 1 -Pritte."- plea the division could and ougtuicilittre been pre vented. Yon are aware that the principles of the B t ittl. mote Cu, vett tion,and the policytistitnated to the 1t augural Address the Preside:liana his Coneitutunt al atlstsers stand pledged tobelore the world. fhey have been, and are, united as one man upon these prineiptexraudJhat policy, suet _hid-season he.. lien that ail tzen , temett who consented'to• - aeeer office under the Administration stood pledged to the same principles and-policy. As the President understands the, principfes avowed as the platform of the party at ll.iltimore, all Democrats who joined in upholding and carry ing nut the same were entitled to be recognized as worthy "of the confidence of the mired party, and consequently eligible to official . station: That all could not obtain office was manifest, and that the distLibution could not be exactly equal exinno.t the diflArent seoiann nt the party was equally certain. Yet the rfkrtoutinit was intended to be en made as to ire join cause of complaints to .no one section. and i is believed that thin intention has been carried out not only by the President him self, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the offices under the tatter - it has so happened that your appointments have .b een ve r y ~tseneralty made limn that portion at the party to which you adhere. This you thought best to secure union and harmony. The desirable ob. lect has tailed to be ()Wined, and the other potion of the party leel that they have not been fully re cognized.by you,and as thing+ now stantl,may not do _jostles to your motives. f call your attention to this .iihject, and to the feet that the President and his C.abinet, with entire unanimity, recognize that por lion of the party as Democrats di-tincily avowing and firmly maintaining the principles of the,~.dti more Platform, and entitled to be recognized by - appointment to the official station in your Depart ment. Allow me to express rho expectation that you will so recor„nizelhem irwhe only cay that will carry conviction with it. I have not hitherto deemed it ,necessary to make any particular enquiries as to the section of the De mocratic party to which persona nominated for po sition in the Custom House at New York belonged prior to the re-union of the party in UM—whit+ re-union was .opposed to have been thoroughly cemented ink the great and triumphant contest in 1852. But as the present excifed state of feeling among political friends who acted together in 1852, and who now stand unequivocally upon the same platform of principles in New York, is suomerive at a discrimination of which the Administration will not approve, I shall send a copy at this letter to the Naval Witter and the Surveyor of the Port, in or. der that there may be no misapprehension aim the policy which the President will require hi be put toed. I am, very respectfully, MMES GUTHRIE. G. C. Bitostrx, Esq., Collector, New Yurk. Copies of the above letter were sent to the Naval officer and Surveyor, with the following note: %Vasimmon, Monday, Oct, 3, 1853. Dean SIR : I inclose herewith a copy of a letter this day addressed to the Hon. G. C. Bronson. It dill eiplain itself, and show you what the Presi dent expects in relation to the distribution of pat. ronage in. the respective offices of the New York Custom acidic, to which you trill conform your action !many Mitre nominations you may have oc casiOn_to make. I am', very respectfully, JAMPA The EH* Thomas Case. On Tuesday afterni;on last, at Philadelphia, just alter the adjournment of U. S. Circuit Court, a war rant of arrest was served upon John Jenkins and James Cronin, U. S Deputies Marshal, (the war rant also included the name of Geo. Wynkoop, up on whom service could not be made, he being ab sent from the city,)charging, them with riot, and an assault and battery on bill Thomas, an alleged Fugitive slave, with intent to kill him, at Wilkes. barre, in the attempted arrest of the Negro. The warrant was issued by a magistrate of Wilkesbar re, on the oath of a man named Gildersleeve_, of that borough, and was served on the deputies Mar shal by the high constable DI that place. Mr. Jackson, for the High Constable of Wilkes bane, read his answer to the Court, in which he admits that he held the Deputies Marshal in custo dy, but alleged that he did so by legal authority, having arrested them on a warrant issued by Gil. ben Burrows, a magistrate of Wilkesbatre, on the action of William C. Gildersleeve, a citizen of Wilkesbarre. Di-uict Attorney Ashmead, asked the Court that the officers be discharged from custody. After considerable discussion, Judge Game, said: " If this man Gildersleeve failsio make ont the (acts set forth in the warrant of arrest, I willirequest the Prosecting Attorney of Luzerne county, to prosecute !dm for petjnty. I know that the United States have a limited authority; but where they have it, it is clear, undoubted and conclusive, that tbeiwi- -- dult soverign authority. If any tuppenny magistrate, elt any unprincipled interloper cat, come in, 4ind eitliie to be arrested, the officers of the United States, whenever they please, it is a sad state otat. fairs. After the man against whom the 11. S. war. rant was issued hat run away, some fellow inter venes anti runs to a State Judge for his interference end has the U. S. offiher arrested.—There was a case recently of this kind and to that I now allude. If habeas corpuses are to be taken out after that manner, I will have an indictment sent to the U. S. Grand Jury against the person who applies for the writ, or assists in getting if, the lawyer who de. fends it, and the Sheriff who serves the writ, to see whether the United Slates officers are Lobe ar rested and harrassed, whenever they attempt to serve a process of the United States. I speak of what is daily done to thwart the United States in the exercises of her lawful authority. I will see that My officers are protected. When will you be ready with your proofs in this matter., Mr. Brown !" Air, Drown—This day one week. Judge Grier—Then upon that day I will hear your proof. The Gus then went over until that time.

To do this, made it necessary to await te meeting of the Return Judges, last evening. From the official vote copied from the tally-papers, it is certain that GILBERT, the Democratic candidate for Trea surer, falls about 20 votes short of an elec tion, and that his Whig competitor, Fosses, is elected. The remainder of the Democratic ticket is successful, by majorities ranging from 200 to 700. Purr, for Senate, has probably 1000 majority over Booth, Maine Law candidate. The State ticket has an average majority of about 600. STATE ELECTION—We have very meagre returns from the State, but enough to make it certain that the Democratic ticket is elected by a large majority, and that the Legislature will be Democratic in both branches. Ramanans arm Farms —The New York papers state that the receipts of the HuJoon River Road, for September, were probably 8140000, and of the Erie $475.000. The Central, it is thought, will go over STOO,OOO The Michigan Southern $170,000, Etc. The Hudson River Railroad, and Harlem Rail. toad, have both pot the are from and to New York to $2, which will materially increase their receipts. The Erie has adranPed its local area to 2 1.2 cents per mile, and its through fare, 30c. The rates of freight will also be increased with ample business fur all its equipage. SUDDNN AND PAINITL OCCINMENCIC —On Thom day evening last, says the Havana Journal, Mr. W. Bowlby, a Canner residing about two miles east of Havana, was in the village in appearent good health He returned home, and after visiting with some friends until about t i o'clock, went to the barn to torn his bones out of the 'stable. Alter being ab sent longer than necessary, Mrs. Bowlby grew con corned and started to see what detained him. lie had died on bit way from 'the barn to the house, and thus she found him. This bereavement is as painful as it was sudden to his rebores and friends. Mr Bowlby was probably 45 years or age. THE A.LEANY END SUsin MANN 11%H.ROAD —We understand, says the Albany N. Y.) Atlas, that this company has purchased two large lots on Find son-st.,—one formerly occupied by the old Park House, and the other now occupied by the new Park house—upon which they intend to erect their depot building. All will at once see that the coin pany has been particularly fortunate in securing these sites. Their location being central, the de pot will be rendered more accessible to the travel ing public, as well as oar citizens. tr- On Wednesday, in the Court of General Sett.

The brother and his friend were armed—one with a double-barrel shot-gun, and the other with a re volver. They (the two men) walked op the street about one hundred yards and met the slanderer, who, it appears; wu also armed. They lock his arms from him and marched him down the street opposite the house where the widow was fully pre pared to give him a warm reception. She was arm ed With a rawhide. Her brother and his friend ad vised their prisoner to stand and take quietly what the widow was about to give him.

We may now regard the Bradford County Agricultural Society as a fixedfact—as being lullyintrabliehed i and we shall look for its progress is years to come, until the display- at its Fairs shill-be second , to no County in the State. We tegret that we are enable to give a tall de scription of the articles exhibited, awarding to each "the meed of praise they deserved; but 'as`no entry was made of the strides deposited, it is aft Wpm sibility. The-utter impractibility of having every thing in order, as no calculation eoald be safely made as to the number or character of the articles to be exhtbited, was no fault of the managers, and with the experience gained by this Fair, will enable them to more complete arrangements next year. We shall be obliged to content ourselves and our readers with • general description of the Fair, with the premiums awarded, and the report of the F.xecutive Committee. The place appropriated for the display was the Public square, which was fenced in, pens being built for cattle and swine, and a shed erected for the display of vegetables, farming implement: and mechanical manufactures. The entrance tor ani cies to be exhibited was at the south-east corner, and the place of egress for visitors, at the Court House, where a place was built for the Secretaries. The arrangement in ibis respect was excellent. At an early boor on Thursday, the space allotted was entirely appropriated, and the grounds made a dis play such as was never before witnessed in our County, and which would have done no discredit to Agricultural Faint of more antiquity. In the nor thern part of the enclosure was a display of blood ed stock, which was of itself worthy of a visit, of enormous calves, fine wooled sheep, and monstrous hogs. Beneath the shed in the centre, came first an exhibition of poultry, which demo..slrated how much care and pride has been given in that line. Shanghae and Cochin Chinas, and Austrian, and Silk fowls, with a dozen other varieties, the names of which we have forgotten, looked, in their coops, as it fit fer Shakespe ire's alderman, With fair round Lefty, with Cat capon lined." There were also several varieties of ducks, of great size and strange appearance. The display of vegetables was very fine, tremen dous squashes, plethoric pumpkins, whose golden richness rivalled the hue of the hidden treasures of California placers, and which are the products of a richer mine than ever revealed the auriferous wealth at that El Dorado,—celery of thrifty growth, clus ters of onions, radishes, fairly bursting with . their *unexampled growth, carrots, beets, cabbages ; of bushel basket dimensions, cauliflower, egg-plants, and many other vegetables, the products of our farms and gardens, all splendid specimens of their kind, and illustrating how care'and skill may en hance the productions of the soil, giving a vigorous instead of a shamed and unprofitable growth. The display of grain, was not as large as we ex pected, but yet enough to illustrate the fertility of our soil. It is not oar intention to particulaiixe, but the specimen exhibited* by JOHN Bl'Coan, of Bar rington, shows a yield so unexampled that we can not retrain from noticing It. It was of the blue stem variety, and the product of six acres, was 364 bu- shels, or 59 bushels to an acre, and the weight 64 lbs. to the bushel! If that can be beat in the State, we shoold like to have the evidence. Quite an array of flour, in barrels and sacks, was displayed, the quality of which would compare with the most celebrated brands. Farming Tmplements, of various kinds, stoves, mechanical manufactures, &c., were displayed in considerable numbers; and reflected much credit open the inventors and manufacturers. The southern part of the enclosure was occupied by cattle and horses, and seemed to excite much interest and attention. The attendance at the Fair was immense. No previous occasion has ever callen together so ma ny people in this Boro'. The enclosure was filled with men, women and children, engaged in view ing, the articles and animals exhibited, and who seeme l highly gratified with the display, as reflect. ing credit upon our County. Within the Court Room, was displayed she ser. eral branches of the Exhibition, under the care of the Female Committees. Mach labor had previous. ly been bestowed, in preparing and decorating the room for the occasion, and its appearance showed great taste. Evergreens bong In graceful festouns,or clang to the pillars, or were disposed in wreaths to grace an occasion of more importance than crown ing the brows of conquering hero*, while above the seat occupied by the Judges, the following senti ment, in letters of evergreen, was attached to the wall "Plenty—The Reward of Industry." In the centre of the room, the space usually oc. copied by lawyers, and where our people ars ac customed to hear knotty points of law discussed, and flowers of speech scattered in profusion, wu erected a mound, covered with moss and upon which was placed a charming collection of hot. house plants, generously furnished by some of the ladies of the borough. Around the room were dis played the various specimens exhibiting the skill and industry of the ladies---while the attendance of females was such that spectators were in doubt whether to the exhibitors or the exhibition should be awarded the premiums. It is impossible to enumerate the articles exhibi ted—suffice it to say, that almost every article in which could be displayed the cunning of female hands wu brought—needle-work, worsted work, of various style—and all articles of housewifery, which are so justly the pride of all true women in whiteness the unsullied snow. drift, cake, preserves, pickles, jellies, wine, &a. &e., to mention which would only provoke the appetite of our readers. The Gait displayed on this occasion, with that which had been pnnriously tasted, proves conch). !lively dud : with ordinary care, oar County obn pro. doed eery variety in abundance.

This would give us a'direct communication with the vast coal and iron mines of Pennsylvania; the expense is estimated $200,000, and in order to create this slackwater some eight or ten locks would be ne cessary, which will create water powers, the rent of which would pal the interest of the cost. The best of coal could then be delivered at Utica, via. our Chenango Canal, at $4 per too, thus making the Canal do what it has never none yet—pay its own expenses. Stack water rersua—no, that is not according to the new Code—Slack water ags.
