To the farmer- whose productions are the greatest, (hay included) in - proportion to- the uunther of acres under cultivation, taking in to account the stock kept on his farm during the season, $lO. To the next, $5. The Executive Committee in presenting the foregoing Premium List, would take oe. easion to remark, that'it has been thoroughly ! revised and extended to the utmost limits of Ithe Society's means, in order to give the greatest encouragement-to competition. On a full consideration of the subject, it ) has appeared to the Committee, that it would be more in accordance with the object .for which the Society was instituted, to -emit all special premiums for grain or root Crops, as I they have a tendency-to encourage an undue share of attention to those particular objects, to Liao nogit t it of -thergenwel .1...4e.e.t . -er the farm. But tri'lien---tf, - pretniuMs are of fered for the largiif return of the farmer's la bor, which, after all, is the main object, as it is the bjst general management which de serves commendation, whether it be on a large or small farm. It is highly creditable that the interest in the Annual Fair continues to increase, there by shiswine; that the public apppreciates the usefulness of the Society-in promoting the pros petity of the County.

SELLING WritraCtittnam—There is a so ciety-in New York, which expects much cred it_for humanity, which picks up street chil dren, and finds them homes in the far West. A late number of Harper's Magazine refers 1 in very eulogistic terms to the operations of these phibltthropists. There are no doubt, , many neglected children in our 'large cities whose condition would be much improved br the removal to the agricultural districts. I But abolition phiianthropy will not bear close i inspection. A Washington (Illinois) corre spondent of the New York Day Book states that the agent for the transportation of pau pers from the Five Points, New York, has bro't car loads of white children to he West and selling them out (as belays) to pay their expens s B. sa .d g . ris bra sold from $l5 to $5O; according to quality. If the purchas er finds he has a good bargain, he holds ou ~to his servant; if not, he turns him off to 1 shift for himself. The purchaser is under no [ obligation to take tare of him. Here is a. ease in point t--Thos:Butler, a half witted 1 Irish boy, about fifteen years old,brought out by Mr. V. 11.,.and purchased by Mr. V. M.'s father, who kept him until he found him not very profitable, turned him off, and 'he has ' been obliged to sleep in cars, stables, &c., and beg his bread. _ _ This is a one specimen of abolition philan thrope. The . business is underitoodd to be very proFperofie in New York, and the Day Book says that it it principally carried on by abolitionists, who think it a horrible thing to Fell negroes, but hare no suchsqueamishness about white children.—Richmond Dispatch. it-o- We are sorry to learn that the 30th Regiment is by no means at _this moment in a proper state of discipline. The approaching removal to Quebec, and expected order to sail for India, are viewed with great disfavor, and , desertions bate of late become io numerous as to'render confinement in barracks for some days' past, nec.essary. This has led to -mur murs, and in many instances, cries of insub ordination.. Every means of a gentle char acter his been used to quell . this Mutinous charaCter so dangerous to military discipline, but we cannot say to what extent they have succeeded. It is not the time now to trace the causes that have lowered the - character of late, of this, formerly one *fibs Most gallant and faithful regiments of the line; but we trust they will be inquired into rind obviated for the fature.—Monfreal (Canada) ..drgus.

BOLTON, Clifrori.. David Wilmot. The Berks Comply Press, speaking of the three Gubernatorial Candidates,says: "Of the three, WILMOT is the superior man in every respect—in administrative pow ers, talent; education, learning, honesty and morals." As to his superior "administrative powers," we think the editor of the Press has very lit- tle knowledge of the man, or he would never have made such a ridiculous assertion.-- When or where have those ..superior powers been exhibited I Are violent and, abusive harangues about slavery, any evidence of administrative ability l—in .nothing else . has bo been prominently engaged since big con- stitLenta refused to.retorn him to Congress. His "talent, education and learning" . wo'd have boon exercised en the Bench, if he had pcssessed them in a high degree. On the contrary, the reversal of almost, every case carri oi up to the Supreme Court at its last session—and some of them only required the exercise of an ordinary degree of ootrunon sense to decide correctly—shows that these qualifications -were sadly deficient in the man, or that he decidoi them—which many believe —under the influence of prejudice. As an instance we refer to the Little Meadows case, also that of Mr. Newton. Ilis striking Mr. N.s name from the list of Attorneys u be did, was an net of gross injustice, and in direct oppsitiou to law: The lang,tinge of the SU prerne Court - , after a full_ review of the 'case "a record SO FULL ,OF ERRORS . • ca►:uot be Eustaiaid in this dourt." Davy's "honesty" was shoWn by his beg ging for the 3.a s o.mr; F l edging himself both Irriibalty and in writing to let political affairs alone in case lie was chosen, and then basely abusing the confidence of those who gave him the position, and falsifying, his solemn pledge try transforming his Court room -during the session, into a place fur the most violent po litical harangues. At these meetings; the members of the Bar, juryman, witnesses phi parties to the suits, were his audience ; and it is well known that those who differed with him in politics finally becanie afraid Fo lay their wrongs before him for redress, leal party i t prejudice shmild * diminish their chances for yobtaining justice. As to his "morality" it is really laughable thatany one should speak of such a thing. Do the people of l3erks Couty know anything of the man I If so, they know the assertion of the Pres sis decidedly foolish. If a-man who is in public and private an habitual blasphe met can be moral, then the Proviso man_.' such, but we bare been taught to think -dif ferent. here everybody is familiar with his style of language, so much so that it seems to be a part, as it were, of the man's nature. We also notice from our exchanges that now while stumping the State many of his friends are disgusted with the frequency with which he takes the name of God in vain while address ing his meetings. David Wilmot moral indeed ! But people have different ideas of what morality is,— something must be allowed for that. We be lieve the Fremont prey last Fall claimed to be themorality and decency party. If their decency corresponds with such morality, - We hope they have got ell of both:---and will keep it too. But perhaps no better idea can be got of this moral man (without .going to Harris burg for evidehce) than by the following ex pression to which he gave utterance a few years since. We have seelit in quite a num ber of papers, but believe it first appeased in this paper. It shows David Wilmot's true character (and taking his own assertion) shows where be is now trying to "tend the country." "I am determined to arouse the people to importance of the slavery issue, and get tie,an organization through which they can get control of the government in '5O ; and If become satisfied that these efforts will rail, and that the people will not assert their rights,then I'LL DE D-4-13 IF I DON'T JOIN THE PARTY,THAT 'I THINK WILL SEND THE COUNTRY TO' HELL THE QUICKFST.", Air WO were present at the Military pa rade in liorford last Monday.

The expression quoted embodies and promolgea two glaring falsehoods; it has also o tetdrocy to create a false issue and to withdraw the attention of 'are voters or, the Commonwealth from the questions legitimately befo4t them for settle meat. It is not true as charged, that. five of the Supreme Judges are slaveholaersi OA it is neither correct or manly to• insinuate that the decision of our highest Judicial tribunal, in the Dred Scott case though adverse to the feelings and destructive of the impracticable bdories of 'the Sewardites, only reflects be official judgment of a bare majority. of be eminent jurists composing that, tribnnal. When wilitho Opposition journalists learn to state facts, and by fair argumentation evince respect for the public concsience and .a be coming faith in the popular intelligence ! Four of the Judges of the Supreme Court own slaves, and the decision against which the sectionalists expend so mach eloquent in. dignation,receives the sanction of seven of the nine Judges constituting that Court. Justices Curtis and .Mc Leas--the first an acknow edged organ of New England abolitionist 4 and the other a prominent asviraat 'for the infamy of a black "Republican" nomination for the Presidenoy=dissent - from the opinion of the Court, whether lrooesdy, or-from par= tisan motives, we will trot pretend to judge. It is,-however, but fair to presume that, if any members of the court 'tress improperly and corruptly influenced, Messrs. Curtis and Mc Lean, being active and aspiring politi cjans, are the guilty ones. But we should like to kaow how "-the people of Pennsylva nia" can reverse s decision of the Supreme Court of the United States ; 'for if they pos- seas the power to nullify the acts of the\ body, surely the advocates of such power can refer us to itssoarce and tell us in what wan ner it is to be cxersised. It is certainly use less to appeal from the decision of a judicial tribunal ,to the people, unless the authority from which the appeal is taken, be constitu' tionallv inferior to that invoked for a revers al. The history of this government affords no instance of an effort to annul, through the ballot-box, the action of a judicial tribunal; nor can such an effort succeed without the complete demolition of our noble constitu tion, and the benificent *democratic theory, for the setablishment of which, the sovereign ty of the colonies was declared and vindica ted. The proposition, or "appeal" to which ,we have adverted, contemplates revolution-- the annihilation of our present form of gov ernment and the authoritative assertion orthe equality of the races. Because the Constitu tion, as judicially interpreted, does not invest the negro with citizenship, a pack of mis guided and perverse radicals assault and - aim to destroy that ll strument. lied they suffi cient integrity and boldness to openly assert their purposes and fearlessly vindicate their 'unhallowed schemes, we might safely treat their ravings with contempt, relying upon the patriutivot of the masses for a speedy and withering condemnation of the plots of a aseceirous sod priantlesa fonstacirm. But when by ft:trent misrepresentation and pretenCes, they struggle for the accom plishment of designs they have not the cour age or manliness to avow, the patriot has just cause of alarm. All efforts to render fruit less the decisions of our. highest Court are equivalent to revolution and look to the sub• Version of government. In this light must the denunciations of the Dred Scott decision be regarded. "Glittering generalities" touch ing the inherent and ultimate sovereiginty of the people are well enough in their place ; but when dealt in with the design of creating a prejudice against the judicial arm of our democratic system, are dangerous, and to be discountenanced. Let the villifieri oft the Supreti manfully declare for revolu tion an dltit - erection of a government which, in defiance of the natural law, shall place the white man and"the negro on a platform of social and political equality ; for these are the oliects they contemplate and are covertly seeking to achieve. They must know that Wilmot's election, while our present govern mental system shall be maintained, cannot abate the effect of a judicial decision ; that a unanimous disapproval by Pennsylvanians through their ballot-box, of the principles of the Dred Scott decision, could not render that decision void. South Carolina'S unsuc cessful attempt at nullification must lave taught them this fact. /R . ' The Independent. Republican of last week indulges in ludicrously valiant profes sions, to cover up its party's timidity and-ev ident alarm. _Thus, we are told that the faith ful " are prepared to place the brand vi viezn -condemnation on treachery and bad ' faith," and competent to " whip anything, whether . pure border rtifflati, or mixed," NoW, brava do is a common weapon of cowards ; and the political organization which Las confi dence in its aLility to conqUer its foe seldom, if ever, condescends to itsdn!ge in it. -- The quiet, courteous demeanor -.`of our party re ! sults.from this cet‘fidecce. 3 ! The coarse boasts and biaggsrt assertions of our opponents are. the fruits of ill concealed fright.. If the brag ging editorials with which last week's Re publican was'ornamouted reflect correctly the ; l feelings o f the:party, why the piteous appeals to the diSsitrected—the coaxing intermingled with threats—so .profusely paraded in the . columns of that journal .

Of The response of President Buchanan to the Memorial of a combination of priestly malcontents residing in New England, will be found in another column.

"We do not intend these facts shall lie lost bight of. The early Abolitionists so far as our influence can go, shall not be discredited through ignorance and prejudice. There are Republicans; so called, Who would separate their movements entirely from that which those much abused men originated.

From the distinguished source whence it proceeds, as well as its -pectiliar character, I have eemed it proper to-deprt 'frorti , my general rule in Inch' cases, and give it an answer. You first assert abet -" the fundamental . principle of the constitution . - of the United States and of our political institutions is, that the people wall make their °ten laws and elect their own' rulers." You then express your grief and astonishment that I should have violated this principle,and through Gov. Walker bare employed an 'army . 4 . one pur pose which is to force' the peorple j-of Kansas to'obey laws not their own, nor of the' United Stutes,tbut lawn which it' is notorious,, and established upon evidence, they never made, and rulers they never elected. and as a cor ollary from the foregoing, you represent that I am openly held up and proclaimed; to tile gieat degradation of our national character, as violating in its most essentialz }Articular the solemn oath which the President has tak en. to support the constitution of this Union." These are heary cearges, proceeding from gentlemen of lour high character and if well founded, ought to consign my name to infa my. But in propertiou to tbeif gravity, common justice, to say nothing of Christian charity, required that before making them you should have ascertained that they were welt founded. If not, they will rtdouud,witb withering condemnation, upon , their authors. flaw. -you petriasirreemA .- towards the tuna who, however unworthy; is the chief magistrate of the, country I if so, either you or I are laboring under a. strangol delusion. Should this prove to be the case, it wilt present a memorable example of the truth teat political prejudice is blind even to the existence of the plainest and most palpa ble historical facts. To those facts let us refer. When I entered upon the duties of the' President's office, on the 4th of March last, what was the condition of Kansas, This Territory had been organized under the act of Cong,ress of 30th May, 1854, and the gov ernment in all iubranchisi was in full opera tion. A Governor, Secretary• of the Territo ry two Associate Justices, a -Marshal and District Attorney had been appointed by My predecessor:, by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, and were all engaged in the discharge of their respective d;ties. A code slf laws had been enacted by the Terri torial Legislature, and the Judiciary were employed in expounding and carrying those laws into effect. It is quite true that a 'con troversy bad preiiously arisen respecting the validity of the election of members of the Territorial Legislature and"of the laws . passed' by, them; but at. the time I entered upon my. official duties Caigress had recognised tier Legislature in -different forms-arid by differ .ent enactments. The delegate elected to the' Rouse of Representatives, under a Territeri-- sl law, had just completed his term of service on the day yevious to my inauguration. lit fact, k found the government of Kansas as' well established as that of any' other Territo , ',:, ry. Underahme circumstance, what was my duty I Was it not to sustain. the govern-. ment 1---;-to protect it from the violeude of lawless men who were determined to rule or ruin.!—to prevent from being overturned by force, —in the language of the constitution, to " tile care that tits laws be faithfully executed!" It was,for this purpose,and this alone, that I ordered a military force in Kan sas, to act as a posse comitatus in aiding the civil magistrate to carry the laws into execu tion. The condition oi the Territory at the time, which :I need not portray,rendered this precaution absolutely necessary. • In this state of affairs would I not have been justly condemned had I left the Marshal and other officer's of a like character,= impotent to exe cute the process and judgments of cobras of justice established by. Congress or by the Ter ritorial Legislature, under its express author ity, and thus have suffered the government itself to become an object of contempt in the eyes sf the people! And yet this is what you designate as "forcing the people of: Kansas to obey laws not their own nor of the United States," and for ding which you have de nouned 11343 as hiving violated my- solemn oath.' I ask, what else could I have done,:or ought Ito have:done! Would you bavesle sired that I should. -abandon the Territorial government, sanctioned- as it had been by Cougreas, to illegal violence, add thus renew the scenes of civil war and bloodshed, Which every patriot in the 'country had_:deploied . ! This would_ indeed.--have 'been te- violate niy oath of office, and to fix' damning blcit oh the character of my administration. .
