' 'WM 'little county agricultural societies
have many inherent difficulties to . contend
With ; and, asliften happens in other move
vents, mhst of the obstacle'. come-from those
what are chiefly to be ,benefitted by 'these or:
• ganitations.. -. Some of them are' started - by
liberal persons in AlPher 'ont - lings; and the
false training we haYe, prompts, us to attach
interested, and sometimas.sinister motives,to
the public spirit which is thus ,- striVing to
build us'up. 'Farmers will not start these
societies, yet unwisely accuse others, for do :
mg it for them. This is impolitic, and is-pos e
.itively wrong. t reminds
.91e of the lam e '
:boy who went out with . a healthy brother, to
,get apples to eat. Now, the apples were on
;iii:large tree, and clearly out of reach of the
, cripple; but he would not
.agree that his
brother should go on the tree,and shake down
fruit, because he (the cripple) saw that when
up in the tree hie brother would have a chance
getting some choice apples for himself.—
Se the lame 1i0,7 would do without apples,
rattier than his brother should ,Inive -a few
better ones for himself; and this is just the
kind of wisdom farmers 'display,. when they .
find fault with men ih other eilhia;;;l. for their
eflbrts in be.,halforagricultural,societies.
Then farmers sometimes complain, beeausa
premiums are not properly awarded. This
is not right. For, giving premiums-is but a
smallobjet i t, in comparison with the great
end'in Vie*, in starting agricultural societies.
Ittaiters cloric up in a hurry, as they. usually
are at ::ciur fairs, must ocea,ionally.result in
-- mistakes; but it is;.,not just to . - condenin the
society, and withdraw your support from it,
because of these una%:oidable errors. When
your county has ai: experimental limn, and
faiis held on it. t4se mistakes will not
''cue Then the judges, like the other officers;
'and *fixtures, wOl be permanent. Car e ful
investigation into the merits of:all articles
presented.tiw eompetition,and judicious decis
ions, will follow and - thus all moie in harmo
ny. Look-over minor defects then, farihers,
and press forward to a useful purpose, y our
agricultural society.. .

. - touished
Mr. Buchanan, in his late letter to certain
;citizens of NeW F,ligrand, uttered the follow- -
ing ineinorable doctrine: - . • , 1
" Slavery - existed in that period, rind still
exists, in Kansas, under the rionstnution of
-the United States. This point has been at
last finally settled by the highest tribunal
known to our laws. '• Row it could ever have
been seriously doh b ted, is a nakSiery.• If a
confederation •iif -sovereign states acquire
,a
new - territory. at Elie expense of their c4iinnion
blood and treasure, surel4one set of tortners
can have. no right tip exclude .tlie other front
its enjoyment, by prohibiting them from ink
ing into it whatever is recognized lobe prOp
erty by the common constitiition. But when
;the tieopl e —the bona . : fide resit] et/Ls of - such
territory-L:proceed to frainc,a state eoustitu
tiorythen it is their right- to deeide4he
• portant question for themselves, whether they
will continue modify or abolish slavery.. -To
them, .and to them . : alone; does this question
belong, free from all foreign interference."
Mr. Clay,. on the 24i of July, 15740131, a pe- ,
eriod. 2
of great political darkness, it is true,
delireredlimself as follows:
• Mr. Clay. * * i am aware .that-there f are
gentlemen who maintain that, in vertu ()ilia
eonseitution, the right to carry slaves south
•
: of that line (36 - 30') already exists, and that,
'-•of course these • who maintain 'that •.opinion,
want no other security for the-transportation
;. Of their slaves south of that line that
stitution. Thiid riOt heard tetat' opinion
avowed, I should leave regarded it as one of the.
most extraordinary assumptions, and the most
indefinable position that was ever token
.by
-man... The constitution neither created nor
.'-does it - erintinue - slaVery. * *• * •If the
constitution
.posw•is the paramount authority
tttribUted to it, the . laws of eveu• 'the Lee
'states of the:Union would )•,ield to that-para
- • mount authority. lf, therefore; it 'be true
that; under the laws now in tome in Califor
via, New Mexico, -and Utah, SlaverY
be introduced—if, such be the kx -loci, the
Constitution of the United States is as.passive
• and neutral ufion the subject. as the:constitu
tion or governmi.nt of any other country up=
on north. *. • * In my opinion, therefore,
, the supposition that the constitution' the
United States carries slavery into California,
supposing her-not . to be a state, isan assump
tion-totally unwarranted by the cc - institution."

Thursday, October, 20, 1857.
Judge Wilmot's Majority' in Mont
rose is 29 larger than Fremont's, instead - of
:30 smaller as reportCd in 'smear the papers.
Wilmot's majority .in Sui4qtrehanns : County
is larger than that of Any Other candida.46-
the ticket, either for &State or County office.
So much for hts 'personal populariti l here
" where," as the Honesdale Herald remarks,
"he is well linown." _
We have not yet received, Mt rii ;
turinl from tlic Pennsvlvania election; though
we arc able to gie .very nearly the general
'result. • Wilmot retwiviis about 146.000
votes ;. Fremont last year_ received 14 7 ,510;
1055,'1,510. Backer receives about 153,500;
Buchanan lasi year received 230;710; lose,
41,210. Hazelhurat ref:ciims about 28,400;
Fillmore received 82,115; loss, 53,804.
This shows • Republicanism comparative!
stronger than last year. -Packer's. majority
over Wilmot is about Am.. over both
about 13.000. . • •

last week to construct a Democratic ryratuid,
for thetieleetation -of 'their readers. They
laid its foundation brisad and deep enough in
Penticy'lvania ignorance and -cottoniarn, and
fund States to carry_ it :•up. two 'or three
steps;. but, they topped it ra with ohiii and
lowa, in ?both of Svlsich the Republicans 'have
jtr.t won the victory.
The po-ition of these t o is suggestive.

" From the moment that Hazelhurstlook
the field, I felt convinced that : our =ski was .
hopeless, not that Wilmot 'had anything to
• fear from either (f his opponents in thestrug

age to defeat hint in some Lway or another;
for you know there is_nothing too mean and
dirty f,ir Sanderson and his clique to Rio; and
as for the • Deinocratswitness Philadelphia
last Fall. As an instance of the knavery of
our 'opponents, let me state what I saw my
self: • At every poll that li•isited; crOwds if
Irish and Dutch were Lobe seen, running with
large.laindles of Packer and Hatelhurst tick

to dela* the Republicans, in order to render
their own cads() stronger in future:

FRAUDULENT RETURNS OF SIXTEEN HUN

JOHNSON COUNTY.
LAWRENCE; K. T., Oct: 13,1.857.
Of all the bold and unmitigated friuds
which have been recorded in Kansas, there
has never heen ono chronicled so unserupid.
ous. SO damnable, so glaringly tinju,t, no de.
void of all -the dregs orprineiple, whieb usu
ally linger in ruffianly characters, as the one
practiced of the Oxford Precinct in - Johnson
County. Men were sent from this
. place
and ‘siyundOtte, to the different Precincts in
in.johnsOil County, to bring up the result as:
soon as the polls were:closed. 1 was. in Wy
undoittiornid saw men who did. not leave un
til the polls were closed, and closed filially
in all the Precincts in JOhnsinf County. They
produced the result,'gicing the Pro-Slavery
party 241 majority On my arrival in•this
place, corroborative news l ,,was in circulation.
No one, Free State or Pro-Slavery, doubted'
for a int anent hut that this .I),istriet, which in:
eludes--Douglas and• Johnson el nmc had
gone overwhelmingly in fitvor of Freedom.
Lust slight the official returns reached Le.
compton, and 4.6. the surprise of ali but. those
uho - were not implicated, a ;manuscript just
fifty feet long was . .unrolled containing sixteen
hundred and peentyqour rates, all from • rifle
Precinct, known us Oxford, on the little San
ta. Fe. -
This neutralizes the entire Free-State vtrte,
and gives 4144- Distriet, .1 - Itich doe's three
Ginned:nen ;turf eight Itepresen , ativ'es, to the
Pro-Slavery party. At this rate they. will
have a majority in the Legislature.

and not one-third the inhabitants can be.futind
in the.county, to say. nothing of . those who
are entitled tat the elective - franchise under
the six months' proscription. The -eleetion
was viva voce, and uowhe're in the Territory
was over five hundred ballots east in one
day. It is all utter impossibility' to write the
names in two day.s. for sixteen hundrt:d yot
ers, yet Qxfiii-a ~ , , r ,l„t , it. The truth i..
this; the, polls were closed until the news
reached them frout - Deterlas colinty, - in or

ballots it would require to throw the wale in
favor of the Pro-Slavitcs, and all i the inter
