The Editor ol the Grcrfte.in concluding his re
marks, read a letter from Judge Biack, which
was received with a warmth of feeling scarcely
ever before witnessed in that Court House. Here
To the Democracy of Bedford County, in ; Matt
Meeting attembled:
Fsinow ■ Citizbjjb :—Some months ago you
passed a resolution presenting me to the Democ
racy of the State as your candidate for Governor.
In consequence of this resolution, my name has
been standing at the head of yoor newspaper or
gan, and the Editor, as I understand him, declines
taking it down unless commanded to do so by the i
same authority which caused him to put it up.
I cannot but remember the unusual zeal with
which you urged my appointment, nine years ago,
to the place I now hold, the approval with which
you greeted it when made, or the kindness with
which you have regarded my performance of its
duties ever since. In 1848 yon asked my nopi*
nation for Governor with a warmth and unanim
ity which impressed me deeply. More recently i
your Representative in the Legislature supported
me for a still more important office in. pursuance
of what he believed to be your universal wish. In
short, yon have stood by me and sustained me
with an uniformity of friendship and confidence
which could not be exceeded. For all this lam
the more grateful, because it was your own free
act —the offspring of your spontaneous feelings. I
came among you but seldom, except on occasions
when business occupied the whole of my time;
and I was restrained, by the official relations I
bore to the people, from going into your meetings.
I, therefore, had not the opportunity, even if I had
had the disposition to court your confidence or eo-.
licit your favor. If my nature were much colder
than it is, I-could not review these facts without
some emotion, and I beg you not to doubt my
perfect sincerity when I tell you that lam pro
foundly thankful.
But the object of this communication is to ask
you for a discharge. It is known to .many (pro
bably moat of you,) that l have never desired to
be brought before , the Reading Convention os a
candidate for Governor. I hope, therefore, that
the resolution naming me for tbat office will be
rescinded .by your meeting-to night.
With every sentiment of respect and esteem, I
am your obedient servant, . J.. S. BLACK.
After reading this letter, the Editor of the Ga»
settesmd he had prepared a few resolutions, upon
which be desired a full and fair expression, after
mature deliberation—tbat, as a servant of the peo
ple, be did not wish to-misrepresent their opinions,
knowingly, and, if he was In error, a County
Meeting was the place to set him right—that it
was sometimes, and with much truth, as-erted
that resolutions were forced through meetings
which did not give fair expression to popular sen
timent, and he desired that there should not be of
that character He believed the Democracy of
Bedford County were a unit upon alt the points
alluded to in the resolutions, and, if such were not
the fact, he called upon the people to proclaim it in,
language not to be misunderstood —that whatever
was their will should be carried out to the letter
through the columns of his paper. He then read
the following Resolutions, which, on the motion
of Major Tate, were adopted by acclamation
amidst an outburst of popular enthusiasm After
the cheering sub-ided, he again appealed to know
whether there was a single individual in the meet
ing who did not cordially endorse the resolutions,
and every man expressed himseli satisfied The
following are the Resolutions
Resolved, that in JEREMIAH 8. BLACK wo re
cognize every qualification that constitutes an aUlo
and Impartial Judgo. Hia intercourse wilh ibo cm
zona of Bedford County, during Ihc past nine years,
has been marked by a degreo of courtesy and integ
rity which entitles him, in an eminent degree, to our
especial regards. In point of ability, wo consider
him second to no Judgo in Pennsylvania. In renting
from the arduous and responsible duties of the
Bench, he carries wall him our warmosl withes for
i his future welfare and prosperity.
Resolved, That it was our pride and greatost plea
sure to nominate JEREMIAH S. BLACK Tor Gov
ernor of this Commonwealth, believing that his ser
vices in that capacity would have been felt to the ad
vantage ofevery lai-payor in the Stare, The people
at large, however, seemed to hate designcd-hira for
another post, that of Senator of the U. .States, and
like n true Patriot, asking nothipg himself, and wil
ling to oboy the dictates of the popular voico, he
cheerfully yielded any pretensions he ought have
bad to their decision. That he was the choice of
tho Democracy for Senator was,more than tnado
manifest in the evidences of papular Bentimout ex
hibited in almost every county in the Common
wealth. Ho was defeated by that peculiar kind of
combination whicb.is not measured by strength, but
by the mere circumstances of a moment, as is evi
dent from the fact that the high honor fell upon a
gentleman who was not considered a candidate until
the ballounga commenced. Whilst wo do Dot mur
mur at the result, wc roust be permitted to say that
the election of Judge Black would havo placed Penn
sylvania in a position in that body equal to that of
any other Stare in the Union.
Reeolved, Thai in Hon. RICHARD BRODHEAD,
the Democracy, of ihe Stale have a Represents- |
i five in the U. S. Senate that will never bring ]
[ reproach upon their: principles. Failing in aur
firet choice, we are highly gratified that tho nomina- 1

I Retolved, That a largo majority.of the Counties of
[■ this' Commonwealth having Instructed their delegates
l for Col. WM. BIGLER for next Governor orPenn*
sylvania, hia nomination is already virtually made,
and, therefore, under thoao circumstances, coupled
with our own high regard for the man, .We consider
it the duly ortho-minority to cheerlblly acquiesce in
the decision-of the majority already fully and fairly
expressed, and our triumph next October will bo

number XXIU -
Habbisbubo, February t 2.
Yesterday was fruitful in the passage of private
billtf, but nothing more. As the majority of these
do not interest your readers*! giro you the only oee
which passed having reference ..to your section of*
country---—' •
' 126. 'Ari'ACUo problbit.the sale of spirituous*
vinous, and malt: liquors, jo:Washington county
and also- to the borough - of Elizabeth, Allegheny
county* on Sunday.”
In the SonaUr.but little was done, etcepttho ;
passage* of d few private bills, and ; a bill read in
ptacoj by Mr.-Hugua* providing for the reduction of
the State debt.
l aond you to-day the Report of tbo Superintend*
e'nt of Common Schools, which has been long and
anxiously looked for. • From a glance at its charac
ter* I cannot but think it an. able and/exceedingly
interdating: documont. The subject ot Common
Schools is one which should,*at all times, command !
attention, and one m -which.the people of Peonsyl. 1
vanta are deeply Interested. While our Legislators j
may discuss, for months, the propriety of a modifi-1
cation of the Tariff, with, a view to the protection
of our coal, iron and agricultural interests, some'
legislation in regard to the intellectual interests
of tho iiSicg generation'would do more to promote I
her real and permanent prosperity than oil that can i
be said on iho Teriff. The glory of New England
i U her Common School cystem. Under it, that Bee-
I non of onr Union has gone on prospering under tho
most disadvantageous circumstances, unnl finally,
in intelligence, enterprise ood all that constitutes a
fiourisbing people, she stands unsurpassed
§atno cause* will always produce the same effects
and if the Common School system was fostered and
cherished in the State of Pennsylvania as it should
be, wo should soon have the gratification of be
holding her advancing ahead ofall competition, and
becoming, as sho certainty ought to : be, the first
Stato in thp Union in intelligence and enterprise.
It is ihcroforo to bo hoped that the Report of the
Superintendent will have the effect of drawing ftt«
tention to this important subject, and that somo of)
the suggestions contained m it, and particularly tbst
which refers to the establishment of a Stato IneU»j
lotion, in which the science of agriculture shall be I
taught, will bo adapted by the Legislature, i
I yesterday gave you an abstract or Mr. Muhlen*
berg’s bill, (which passed tne Senate) providing
i for tho publication of the Colonial Records. This
morning the committee to which was referred that
portion of the Governor’s Message m relation to tho
preservation of tho Colonial Records, made a lengthy
I report, which seems to strengthen the position is
#umcd by Major Muhlenberg to his admirable re>
I port. After reviewing at somo length the import*
ranee of the preservation of tho Colonial Records,
I the committee strongly urgo the passage of tho bill
I of Major Muhlenberg with a fow modifications.

The Wnyncsbnrgdfascnger of Tuesday says: Just
a* our paper is going to press, we learn that Westly
Frost, and Wm. Y» Roberts, Esq., were yesterday
appointed delegates to tho Reading Convention,
"by the democratic County Convention of Fayette
county, with instructions to support Cot. William
Bigler for Governor and If'iMam fisarigW of Fajt*
etto Co, for Canal Commissioner. The Convention
also acquiesced in the appointment of C. A. Black,

*i Women’! Ii«Qht«»”
The following paragraph, extracted from a let*
ter addressed by a youog lady to a friend m this
City, is an eloquent rebuke to the ideas promo)*
gated by a Convention-of Women, which recent
ly assembled m one of the ,l down east" .States
The writer of it, we guarantee, has more goad,
sound sense, than any air of those who participa
ted in that gathering. The italics are her own :
“You have taken it for granted • • * •
that I must bo m favor of 1 Women’s Rights/ as
laid down by the Worcester Convention. I am
not governed by any euch /wink principles, (if I
may call them so.) Woman s sphere is home. —
If eha fills it as she ought,—lives for Goo and
those about her,—she fills an office more worthy
of her than a seat in Congress. Woman was
given to man or a help meet, not servant. Gou
never intended that she should fill the place of
Man —neither can Man fill the vocation wherein
she is called. If Goo had intended Woman to
govern, He would have ordered it so from the be
ginning. I cannot express my thoughts on this
subject; it fills me with indignation when I think
how far beueath our station they ’ [the getters up
of the aforesaid Convention,] “would have us
move. 1 would not exchange the privilege I
have of exerting my influence at home, for a seat
ou the throne as a Queen." j. f.

on Saturday lasi, the Jury m the case of the Cota
monwealth es. George Pharnab, indicted for the
murder of Rachel Sb&rpJass, near West Chester,
on the 28th day of May last, rendered a verdict of
“Gailty of murder in the Ist . degree.”
Tho trial commenced at West Chester on Tues
day last, Feb. 4th, and closed on Saturday evening
about7o’clock. Tho jury was absent about 2y hours,
when thoy.rendcred a verdict as above stated. .
Tho facts of tbe.-csso were published at tho time
of the murder. There is one fact which came out
on the trial (hat we do not remember to have hoard
before, to wits George Pharo&h told oneof the
I boys In tho neighborhood that he had been near the
| abool house that morning and srw the dead body of
Rachel Sharpleas, bat was afraid to go noar it, and
that thero was nobody near when he saw it. He si*
so told to & person he met on the road, on tho
morning of the murdor, and before the dead
body was found or it was known a murder
had boon committed, that Miss Sharpless had been
I shot with a large gup wbile-sho was unlocking the
1 doorof the school house. To another person he
I said, ho would be a fool to own it and bo hung, Bcc.
I This George Pharoah is a nephow of Jabei Boyd,
I who was convicted and hung lor the murder of
I Westly Patton in Chester county some five or six
I yean ago. .
I Tho prosecution was ably conducted, by Paßch&ll

i tbo defence by Joseph S. Lewis and Wm. Butler,

■ Tempebance ut iLLtSQia.— A bill has passed the
- Illinois House of Ropreaontatives, which prohibits
the sale of intoxicating liquors in quantities loss than
one quart, unless sold by druggists and physicians in
good faith, for|mechamcal, medicinal, or sacramental
purposes. If sold lo an adult, tho fine is 82fi for
every breach of tho law, and if to a.minor under tho
age ofeightecn years,, the penalty*: is not less than
$50,80r more than 8100. The act also repeals sll

Knowledge of Geology important to the
k _ Former*
There is hariily any trade or accuf.aHoUin'which
useful Jessonsjnay not be learned by studying one
sdience-or another. Tohowihany kinds of-Work*
l men must knowledge of mechanical philosophy
be useful. To how many others does chemistry
prove almost necessary., Every one mastywith a
glance,-perceive that to engineers, watch makers,
instrument makers, bleachers and dyers; thdße sci
ences are most useful, if not necessary. But car.
penters and masonß are surely likely to do'their
work-better for knowing how to measure, which
practical mathematics teaches them, and how to
estimate the strength •of timber, of walls and of
arches, which they-learn trom practical mathe.
mattes. -'Nay," the-farm servant, or day laborer,
whether in his employer's business, or tending the'
concerns of bis own cottage, must derive great
practical benefit for knowing something of the na
ture of soils and manures,which cbemistry .tench
es, and soafethnrg of the habit, of animals, and the
quality and growth of plants, which he learns frorn
naturai history and chemistry together. In truth,
i thougha man be neither mechanic or peasant, but
only one having a pot to boil, he is sure to (earn
from science lessons which wiUenable him to cook
his morsel belter, save, his fuel; and,both vary .his
dish and improve it. Science then makes', men
more skillful, expert and useful in the particular
kinds of work: by which: they ate to earn their
bread, and by which they are to make it go far
and taste well when earned. Thus,

On culture and Uie eowiug of the soil.”.—Cornprr
New names must be given to new sciences as
they are born, and the languages of the Greeks and
Romans are those most usually drawn upon Tor this
purpose The science which describes the solid
materials of the earth, the order in which they are
arranged, and the causes which have effected that
arrangement, has been named Geology from the
Greek, ge, the earth, and logos, discouise The
knowledge of the relations ot this science to the
successful cultivation of a country, is at present
possessed by few farmers. Some understand its
connection with the formation of the sods they
cultivate, but eten there are a minority. It. may
I safely be Bald, that this knowledge ,is a diside* i
| ratnm, the want of which, together with that of
other sciences of a kindred nature, now dislm.
guishes our agriculturalists. .
But it is remarked there are many good far
mers who are no; geologists,- :who, perhaps, do
not form a correct idea of the meaning of the
word. They, howover, neither-understand.the
principles of their art, nor can they derive, any
intellectual enjoyment from the Tesults of their
practice; such men are 11 born to blush unseen.”—
i We do not mean to undervalue that sure practical
guide of the farmer, experience, nor the result
of long and frequent attention to numerous lo
cal circumstances; these are.wheels within -a
wheel, yet of no subordinate importance, . >
Numerous instances might be cited of,the hen.
efits conferred by Geology upon agriculture. The
intermixture of soils where one kind of earth is
either redundant or deficient, is practiced in some
places with great advantage.. Red sand.stone dis
tricts are converted into fertile land by intermix.,
ing with them, the .calcareous-marl which they
frequently contain in detached beds. So with the
clay marl generally underlaying pine plains. The
green sand marl of New Jersey .is applied to san
dy soils with milch benefit. ” When we behold, ’’
eays Professor Rogers, in hia report to the legis
lature of that State, ” a luxuriant harvest, gather
ed, from fields where the sod originally was noth
ing bat sand,'and find if all due. to the use of a
mineral sparsely disseminated in the sandy, peach
of the ocean, we ranst look with exulting admira.
tion on the benefits conferred upon vegetation by
a few scattered granules, of (bis unique and pecu
liar subslanco, The small amount of green sand
i dispersed through the common sand, is able, as \ve ; i
behold. To.effect immeasurable benefits in spite of;
a great predominance otf the other muterialwhlch
ive are taught to regard os,-by..itself,- so generally
prejudicial to fertility.”
We would regard it as a great advance upon
the present position of the fanning community,
if each proprietor was qualified to name the rocks,
and minerals which are incidentally' met -with in
crossing his fields. What pleasure would be den?
ved by the formation of cabinets of geological
specimens found on farms. How many young
minds grow up sealed to knowledge because (linse
around them to whom they naturally apply, are
sealed likewise. But it is gained by application;
we will noLsay unremitted but assiduous and cons
tinued, until its attainment seats its'possessor oil a
throne.—-.-Many Cultivator.
