A.Voloo from Clarion. County.
The last number of the Clarion Democrat, takes
the following notice of the wicked attempt of the
Cotton Conspirators to break down a Democratic
, . newspaper, for advocating the rights of the toilng
_ masses. The. Democrat is edited with marked
ability by Meesrs. Alexander & Weaver and stands
high in the confidence of the Democracy of Clarion:

'General Taylor arrived at New Albany, at 12
o'clock on Sunday' (1) last, and was received by
the Mayor. and citizens. He was thence escorted
to Louisville by the steamers Cuurtland, Ocean
Wave and Daniel Boone, and was received at the
foot of Fifth street, by the Mayor of Louisville.
He-was thence conducted by an immense con
course of military and citizens, up Fifth to Main
street, and down Main directly to the Galt House,
_amidst the thunder of artillerY, both' from shore
and 'the - escorting steamers.
During the firing of the salute, a premature dis•

'rite Ohio' Standard (free soil,) in noticing the

for one Suriiiay. We comniend this to the notice
to those good christians, and especially ministers,
who gave him their support. for President. We
have' heard the General condemned for vioiating
the Sabbath. Could anything else be expected
from one who lives by robbing the poor of their
earnings, and is elected, to the first office in the
gift of this free and christian republic, while he
has his heel upon the necks of 300 human beings'?
Away with this " tything mint and cummin,"

The New York Evening Post, among other
touching incidents, relates the following as having
occurred lately, on the departure from that city, of
a vessel bound for • San Francisco. There are a
great many Charley's about leaving this section
of country for the gold region, who should read
this simple but touching incident, and ask them
selves the impressive question of this noble-girl :
As usual, a large crowd had gathered on the
pier, including several females, to bid a last adieu
to - relatives, friends and lovers. One girl, who
had probably seen seventeen summers, particularly
attracted our attention. She was a beautiful
blonde, clothed in.a plain, though neat dress—with
remarkably rosy cheeks--a lip the bee might
swoon on, and soft dark eyes, now a little dimned
by the gathering moisture of sadness. While
others were hurrying to and fm, she stood on the
edge of the pier,.gazing earnestly at the vessel,
now loosing from her moorings. Her eyes were
fixed on a handsome young man, leaning over the
taffrail, rigged out
,in Zalifornia dress,
who was
no less intently watching the fair girl he was .
leaving.
Just as the vessel began to move in the water,
and recede from the wharf, the tears unbidden
started from their repose—tears, in whose dumb
grief there was a powerful eloquence, filled her
large melting eyes, and stretching out her hands
to him, in a most thrillingly plaintive whisper,
she said, "Charley, aint you & sorry now?" The
color fled from Charley's ch•Wk, his lip quivered a
moment, and he turned, without speaking, to hide
himself and his tears in the cabin; and we turned
away, thinking that the young man perchance
was leaving behind him, in - that fond and loving
heart, a treasure of more worth than all the Wealth
of California, and thinking too, were we of those
liaes-of—
'When eyes are beaming,
What never tongue might tell; -
When tears are streaming
From their crystal well;
When hands are linked that dread to part,
And bean is met by throbbing heart—
Ohl bitter, bitter ib the smart
Of them that bid farewell."
There was a great outpouring of the Democracy
of Bedford county, at the Couit House, in Bedford,
on the 6th instant. The Gazette any; it was one of
the largest andi,most. enthusiastic meetings ever as
sembled at-that place. Gan. Jmers Byways, Jr., pre.
sided. The meeting was addressed by J. F. Cox,
Esq, Major S. H. Tate, Gen. Bowman, and John
Chessna, Esq.. Wu. P. Suds, Esq., reported a ee
rier Of eloquent resolution; Which were unanimous
ly adopted. John Cheesni and S. H. Tate, Esqs.;
were appointed Delegates to the Fourth of July
Convention, in this city, with power to subatitute.Z
The last Glasgow (No) News tells a strange
tale of, one, of the early settlers of Saline county.
Ile, was a.. Frenchman, who, about twenty years
ago, became dissatisfied with the prospects before
him, and left his Wife and daughter to seek other
means of Mending his fortune. For several years
the wife and daughter awaited his return till even

They struggled along in poverty, until the daugh

the mother—remaining in straightened dream.
stan:es. Last. week, however, an old gray-headed
man went to the humble dwelling of the daughter,
and after surveying her with, deep emotion for a
few moments, said: "Do you know the name of
your father '4" To which she replied by giving it.
"Then," said he, "I am your father," After their
mutuallreetings, he brought in two bags of gold,
containing $40,000, and gave them to his (laugh
ter, and offered ,her husband the best farm he
could find in the neighborhood. He knew his
daughter by a scar on the forehead, from a wound
received when a child.
On ihe 9th inst , the State Senate took up the
bill to exempt from levy and sale or execution,
or for distress for rent, property to the amount of
three hundred dollars.
The bill was opposed by Messrs. Stine, Konig
macbei, Smyker, Matthias ; Crabb, all Whigs, and
supported by Mr. Overfield, Democrat. The lat-
er said, with much force
He went for the bill because it' xvould give a
homestead to .tbe Nor man,,worth at least $3OO
—because the poor man would prefer to take land
to 'anything else. as ha had a right to. He warned
the Senators on this floor, both Democrats and
Whigs, how they' voted on'-this question, for it
U . ;ould rise up in Judgment Sgsinst them. He con
sidered the law abolishing imprisonment for debt,

GARresident
, Secretary pro tem.
FELLOW CITIZENS—The object of the present
meeting is one that involves the interest of the en
tire community. We are placed in a situation of
accountability both to the Creator of the - universe
and our fellow men: It has pleased Providence to
bless us with a free country, and we might say
too, a free soil; and as far as my knowledge ex
-tends, a soil as capable of improvement as almost
any in the world: yet, experience tells us that in--
stead of improving, we are rather reducing its qua
lities, and in doing so are we either benefitting our
selves or those around us?—or are we making the
use of it that we would like to see held up to alter
generations, and say we are the men that have
used it sol I think there is scarcely a farm within
the knowledge of any present that might not be
said to be at least fifty percent less" in quality
than when first cleared; and has it been the means
of enriching its owner? This question is easily
answered, for in almost every instance where a
farm becomes poor, the owners is invariably the
same. There is scarcely any portion of our land,
when first cleared and rightly cultivated, but is ca
pable of growing 25 bushels of wheat to the acre:
but what is the growth of any Of our long cleared
farms? I think Trout 12 to 15 bushels, on an.av
erage, in a great many eases, would be something
like the present yield. And is this to be charges
ble to the soil? I think not. It is entirely charge
able to ourselves. We are taking from the earth,
and never putting any thing to it, while a little
energy and skill would cause it to yield as much
as ever. The satisfaction would amply re-pay for
the labor.
You Will probably say how are xe to get about
this? I answer, by farming societies for the diffu
sion of knowledge, and I am persuaded that the
men who firat thought of this, deserve our warm.
eat gratitude and 111 be applauded by alter gene
rations, for thus endeavoring to arouse a spirit of
improvement, and to impart knowledge to those
around them,—for it is acknowledged by all, that
there is not a country where societies of this kind
have been established, but it has been a means of
assisting in the education of youths, as well as as
sisting in the improvement of Agriculture in all its
branches.
We have heard it remarked that the farmers in
this part of the country, are far behind those East
and West of us. We are not only behind our
neighboring farmers, but we are behind every oth
er class of men who earn their living - by industry.
There is scarcely any of the Mechanics but have
their societies, for giving and receiving instruction
and they are greatly benefited by - them, and is
there any reason for the former to shut his eyes
and ears to his own interests,
I think not; well then, let us form Societies in
every neighborhood; let us select men of experi
ence to instruct us; let us consult with each other;
and if any have gained knowledge on any subject
let him willingly impart it to the rest. This no
doubt will be a means of giving the rising genera
tion a taste".for .whit:ought to-be tbe mdst noble
employment that everwas conductei by man on
this earth; and not only so, but by so doing, we
world scatter the elements of agricultural knowl
edge over the land, and bring their' within the
reach of every citizen of the humblest capacity;
besides, by a liberal and enlightened course, should
not only augment the productive agricultural en.
ergies of our country but we should also in part
repay the duty we owe to the world and our fel
low men.
And, as I told you before, I am not able to say
anything on the subject, worth listening to, you
we be kind enough to make allowance for want
of ability, as when I wrote these few remarks, I
(lid not wish them ever to be read in the bearing
of any audience, but lest othe.3 should not be
ling to say any thing on the matter, I merely read
them, in hopes that some others of more. experi.
ence and ability wil come forward' and give the
subject the justice it justly merits.
For the Morning Post.
Ma. LIA/IPLR
I have noticed several communications recently in
your excellent paper, favoring the nomination of our
esteemed fellow citizen CArr. Jive. BIRMINGHAM *
fur Canal Commissioner.
I seldom take any very active part in political
matters. Yet I
.trust I have always been found in
my plqce in the ranks, when there was any special
effort to make by the Democracy, whether the pros
pects were very flattering or otherwise.: I feel,
however, at this instance, disposed to advocate the
claims of Capt. Birmingham, because I beleive him
to be eminently fitted for the post for which he is
recommopded. -He is in every respect, an active
business naan,uttentive and industrious in every sit
uation in life, besides, , r he is honest and capable?'
—qualifications thtt are not to be bverlooked by the
Democracy in making choice of ciffcers.
I hope, therefore, that the Convention, whose du
ty it'will be to put in nomination.; - candidate for Ca.
nal Commissioner, will take into consideration the
services of Cnpt. B. to the party, together with - his
qualifications for thle particular OW, and I feel sure
it will not be very hard to determine the result.
Capt. B. has numerous friends in.all the Western
Counties, who, no doubt, will advocate his claims,
and set forth his merits properly heibie the publid,
by communications through the Democratic Press.

We are informed that grand preparations are be

take place at the Exchange, on the 22d of February.
This Order is now very numeroirs'in and about this
city, and numbers amongst its members as noble and
benevolent a elms of men as can. be found in the
country. We are not a member of the Order, hut
we have always felt the most friendly feelings for
their success, especially when wn r direvered there
was a disposition on the part of ti few narrow-mind

have been honored with atieket to the Supper on
Thursday evening, and shall ende.arai to be present..
We trust that it will be a large and happy gathering.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad.
The Report of the Chief Engineer, of the Cleve'
•
land and Pittsburgh Railroad, has been on our table
for several days past; but WO reallyitave not found
time to give it a careful culmination, owing to a va_
ricty of other engagemente. It affords us pleasure
to learn, however, that this important work is going
ahead with the most.encouraging. prospects. We
have always been of the opinion that Cleveland is
the true point at which we should connect with Lake
Erie by Railroad ; for, besides securing for our city
a large proportion of the . Lake trade, we will b e
certain- of securing the trade of the entire Western
Reserve, in - Ohm. Any other Railroad, from Pitts.
burgh to the West, should go through Steubenville,
Mt. Vernon, and Cincinnati, to St. Louis. It is time
that Pittsburghers should consult their own interests;
'ntead of assisting in. projtidts which must result to
the-advantage of New York and Massachusetts.
Cattle should be kept warm and comfortable in
winter, else far more focid be-necessary; and
then they will be testi profitable - than when kept in
a comfortable condition. l'he":whole barn should
be made tight and warm,
,and Riere should be no
partition between the cattleatuf ilielarge open space
called the barn floor; or should be. no obstruc
tion directly beforertho hetols of the cattle, whether
standing or lying, that they may breathe the eere
air. , Rails or bore in front will be sufficient.
Many of the best managetiortitiik. have barnsso
warm that water will not titeze in them in the cold
est,. weather. 'The open sines in front of the cattle
gives a good chance lbr Wit -air; In warm, dull
weather, in 'tvinter, it is . riec4rsaryto open doors, at
some distanCe from the, animals, 'that a draft ofair
may pass through the barn floor, yet not below direc
tly on the cattle.
