We hope therefore that farmers will . see in all these improvements, that theymnst improve bath! thesoil and the mind if they wish to keep progiess with-the rest of the community, and surely they have by the aid of theta machines 'many mote opportunities for mental culture • than they have ever Lad before—rand theiricountrymen are of course lookiird to them fdr higher at tainments morally • and intelleetually than has been witnessed at any forme; period.

So far as we_can learn the present progress is generally satisfactory to all concerned. The Election. Owing to the unfavorable weather we get brit few returns of the election on Tuesday. At this writing, (Wednesday morning) we have received no news by telegraph sufficient to indicate the result of the State election. In Luzerne county Geo. W. Scranton, opp., is reported ahead some3ooo,and is thought to be elected. In this county . we have reports as follows : Average Republican majorities—Montrose 133 ; Ilarford, 46 ; Dimoek, 68 ; Oakland, 19; Susq'a Depot gives s an average majority for Democratic and independent candidates of 9. Patrick and Parkhurst have run about up to the Democratic vote generally. Oppo sition majority in the county probably about the same as last year. News of the Week.

Tim Opposition took the paupers from the Philndelphia'Almstouse and had them as sensed to be ready to vote at the recent eke tion.—A - trick just mean enough for the Kansas party to play. Tit Crystal Palace was burned down on . Wednesday of last week. ,The loss is es timated at from '5600,000 to $1,600,000. The fire is supposed to be the work of-au in condary. Gmartrr Smmr, the Abolition Temperance and Woman's Rights candidate for GoveiMor of New York, gave out_ that he would meet the public for the purpose of answering ques tions• at the Cooper Institute in N.

From his responses it appears that he advocates closing all liquor shops; favors naturaliza6on ; a registry law for cities; female and neva suffrage; home- stead law; denies that Mbe nets - of the "Re. publican" party have done anything towards favOring the chancel of a free State in Kan sas; advocates the passage of a personal lit. erty bill, saying that "in order to save the leastßlack baby from the kidnapper,(meaning the action of the fugitive•slave law,) he was willing to see rivers of human blood shed."

The conclusion arrived at in the above is doubtless correct, but the reason given is en tirely groundless, Many democrats of Brad ford, and perhaps of other counties will refuse to su pport the State ticket, but not from hos tility to Mr. Buchanan. It is Goy. Parker that many of these who labored to place him in power are dissatisfied with. They believe that t he is. false and traitorous to his old friends, and that his ambition 'is now drawitig him into the embrace of his old foes. They know that his Attorney General, Knox, is an open enemy to:the Democratic "party, and they fear that Porter is unsafe; hence their refusal to support him as they Other wise would. Packer appointed Porter to fill the vacant Judgeship until election, and Derriocrats feel that if ho is, to turnout to be of the Knox stripe, they will care little about his defeat. We trust that Knox is the only. traitor in the camp, and would be pleased .to 'see our Governok fill his place with a man who will not smite the hand that feeds him. If ho does not do this, we confess thitt there is reason to suppose that Packer's sympathies are not where we believed them to be when we advocated his election over the dema gogue Wilmot. _ The above was in type for last week, but was crowded out. , We publish it this week in order to correct the error intended to be conveyed by the Reporter. - A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian who bad listened to one of Senator Bigler's able speeches, wiites of it as follows, from Elk county "He (Bigler), presented some new fact., developed by the eleCtion on the English bill in Kansas, which I third: every Democrat ought:to possess.' HO showed by the official vote on the English bill that the plea of the opposition, on the ground cif the nineteen dis- franchised counties, was a sheer deception and a base subterfuge. - It was said- the Cons vention bad no authority because the people of nineteen counties had beendisfranchised,fifteen of them, as Gov. Walker had said; " by no fault of their own ;." and these fifteen coun ties polled on the English bill but 166 votes, and in ten of the dqranehised not a single vote was given, and in the other five but 166 ! In the remaining four—Allen, .Anderson, Coffee and Franklin, when the officers of the law to make the registry were driven out:of the county by Jim Lane and his band, 1445 votes were cast. The registry extended to the votes in the Territory on the Ist of ISfarch, 1857, eighteen months before the vote ou the English bill, and the population has been steadily increasing ever since. This positive truth, and shows that at the time of the registry fifteen out of the nineteen counties contained no inhabitants at all, and those counties from which Lane drove the officers gould,not have contained 500 votes. Noth ing done more, excites popular pr s ejudice against the policy of the Administration than this base fabrication. Will the opposition Press be honest enough to. publish the.truth Will'Col.

To the Editors of the New York Tribune. Gentleman :—My attention has been called to_ an article in reference to Kansas affairs, published in your Daily on the 20th inst; and Tri-weekly of the 21st., in which you suggest thit I had probably been Compelled by the . Administration to resign the post have held here for some Months past, and on that suspicion you proceed to make some serious Charges against Mr. Buchanan and his Administration, for all of which there- is not.the slightest foundation. It, is true that have - resigned the, office - for Govet nor of Kansas, but 'it was an' not of my own free - will. The (President desired me to remain, but the condition of my private affairctiould dot permit me to' do so longer. I c a June last, I sent up my resignation to take effect in August, but while it Washington in July, at tile argent solicitations of many persons interested in Kanias, and also at the request of the President, I then withdrew it for the lime being. - Those who are conversant with the facts know that it has - been with extreme reluctance thatl --- ' have remained here from the first, and!that\ I have always declared my intentions to resign the office for Governor, ' as soon as it could be done-with safety to the public, interest: I have received the inei,t. - .1 ample assurances or -the • cordialsapproVal of my course in thi's Territory bv the President and all the members of his Cabinet, and here' Unitist be permitted to vay 'that in all my conversation with the President about Kansas affairs, he has always manifested the deepest' concern.for the peace and happiness of the country, and a determination that thepeople of the Territory shOuld Wave a fair opportun ity' at the bane box, to settle the questions at issue before them in their:own way,, and without any extikneoua influences: Such has been the character of all his communications to me, whether verbal or written, and while - endeavoring te.carry them outio:gOixt • faith, I have met with no opposition from the tiiii derate men of the Territory, nor from- those who have been olasstd as pio-slaverymen. • The fraud. perpetrated at s the election in - January- last, were committed by violent and unscrupulous men of all parties, aqd the in vestigation of them were partisan and partial. - Such acts as theforging of, the return 'from Delaware Cnissingwere- paraded before the public with glint gusto,while the destruction of the ballot box and ballots of_Sugar Monad, by ,Copt.-: Montgomery, , was passed by in silence. The enters 'in these tranaactioistr ought to have been severely punished, but - there wertno laws that would re.aeh Ahem,. and the hvtl - -4gislative Assembly; which was 'all'Free State, made no sufficient laws to meet suektasesin the future, but endeivered to Taralyze the powers - of the Circuit Courts, andands invest , tbe'Probate.

The troubles - inAeavAleforth .city" -= continued" nearly- all , winter, and if the 'Mayor and other city officers did not encourage sthem,they 'certain ly took no measures-to have them suppressed. In Linn and Bourbon counties all was quiet until Montgdmery aid his heed commended plundering, and driving off the people who differed,from them in political sentiments, in the ,Courlse of which - they committed some outrages is acti,one;of Which was to drive a farmer awayfrOtri his home, on pain of _death, and then to - take the ladies of his family,itrip off all theii,clothing, and in that 'condition compel them to walk backward and forwards foi their am eaement. , I ":passed through the counties, where these outrages were- perpe- , !rated, and for some 30' milts it pre.ented such a scene of desolation ski never expected to have seen, and never hope tollee again in a country inhabited . by sAmericrn citizens. Is it any wondet that'the people on whom such outrages were perpetrated,should become exasperated I,Scime 300 families were robbed ' of their property; driven from their tomes, and compelled to fly "from the Territory. About two-thirds of them from,Linn county, where every officer. was and is a Fiee" ; State man, after providing places of _security , for their families, some of the men, inaddenel and desperate with'the treatment they had re ceived, returned to seek revenge, and per 'petritted the bloody and unjurtifiable • act of ' the Marais des Cygnes. This', was followed, 1 on the part of Montgomery, by setting fire to to the,town OrFort Scott, 'in the middle 'of the night, while the people were all•asleep; and then pouring in volleys of rifle balls to prevent the people. from - extinguishing the flames.' Although no serious consequences resulted from this act; though several persons escaped very narrowly, yet in its inception, I know ornothing worse in tI e whole history of Kansas. If such an act had been comit ted by a band of ' hostile Indians, it would have sent a thrill of horror throughout the whole country. Stich have been some of the troubles in this Territory, and yet the perpe trators are running at large without an effort to arrest them, in counties where the. Free State men bare all the local officers, ,uPhela ,by a portion*of those calling themselves Free State men. Among the most seas, of them have been tl•e hired repoiters of the Eastern *newspaper pres'. If any further disturbances occur in this Territory, these are the people ' who will be justly responsible for .it.• The Pro Slavery party have abandoned the ,con test. The Free State men have a majority in every county in the territory, and they have the sheriff and all other local officers in all but two or three of the counties, and there is, no county in whiCh the sheriff cannot Fe serve peace if he desires to do so: You make another complaint against the ' President, that he hns,twice postponed the - seles,ofthe•pu.blic lands. If I .mistake not, last Sprier , p you complained because the sales were ordered for July. The first postpone ment was made at the urgent .solicitation. of the people in all parts of the Territory, and so anxious were-they to have it done; that t' e: sent on a committee of three to the President on the subject, and tie nsult' of their interview was published by you.i The aicond • postponement was ,more n de.saary &ban Outt nrst, rof - money has become\ more scarce in the Territory, the rates of i terest had gone up to 5 and 10 per cent. per onth, and there . was a good deal of sickness throughout the whole cottony.
