Thu Democratic Slate Committee in enume rating the many public service of Gov. Big ler, allude lo his noble defence of the honor of the State, when Governor Lome of .Mary land', refused la deliver up the .notorious Mc- Creary, who stood charged with (he abduc lop of the two colored girls from Chester cdtinty,—Elizabeth and Rachel Parker. We lhiilk the Committee are. hard pushed when they are obliged Vo refer lo that letter as an achievement meriting the highest honors, when we consider the contemptuous manner in which it was treated by Governor Lowe, and the suddenness wilb which Governor Bigler dropped the subject when he found it lo be distasteful lo his Southern allies. The sovereignty of the Stale had been invaded by a notorious outlaw—two of its citizens entitled to the protection of the laws, bad been hurried into a stale of slavery—one of them had been told and sent lo Nets Orleans —Mr. Miller, a citizen of Chester county ,an important witness, had been -murdered in a most flagitious manner—and yet when the causa and author of all these atrocities, was demanded in the name of our violated and insulted laws, and the State of Maryland re flisei to remand him for trial, Governor Big ler lamely contents himself with a simple letter to the Executive of that State, acknowl edging it to be an infringement of our Con slilutional rights as well aji all our ideas of justice. And here be drops the subject! Gpv. Lowe refuses to return McCreary, and not a whimper escapes the high dignitary in whose hands the people of Pennsylvania had entrusted its dignity and honor. McCreary goes at large, boasting of bis triumph over the laws oF-our State, and we know not when he will again cross our borders, invade our houses, sad carry off our citizens, as he has frequently done heretofore. Any other man but Governor Bigler would have made the insulting conduct of Govern ir Lowe, the subject of an indignant appeal to the People or of n message lo the-Legislature. The re fusal of Gov. Lowe to obey the. national qompset would hare been held up to the cen. auto of the nation. He chose to pocket the insult, and in his message at the ensuing Motion We find not one word in denunciation oflbe conductof Maryland, or in vindication { of lha right* of our State, —indeed the sob-i joef os not mentioned I So much for this praise of the Governor by this redoubtable and long-winded committee!

In this, tbs Convention evin ced much wisdom end sagacity, and removed the .principal abstraction in the wsy of s thorough «nti- Nebrstks triumph that existed. The course is now dear, sod-victory, over, s bad principle ppt forward under the patronage of a rotten party, made corrupt by power and powerful by corruption, rendered cer. tain. No one doubted the soundness of either, or all of the Free bomocratic candidates on the most im. portsot questions of the,day—non-slavery extension and Prohibition—but it baa all the while been evi dent that it was not passible for them to unite any considerable portion of the anli-Nobraaka strength at the ballot-box—at least, not so great a proportion as could be united by Judge Pollock and bis aato. elates. It needs no argument to prove that no good anti. Nebraska man can honestly give hia vole or bit in* flue nee in favor of Gov. Bigler. lie it ta thorough ly committed for that bad measure, and far its god. father—the Administration—os he can be fur any measure on adherence or opposition to wheih threat, eas to mar his plans of personal aggrandizement. Is is idle to talk of rooting np an evil with une hand while awarding it sunshine and summer rain wilb the oilier. There is no half-way policy that cornea up lo the exigency of this Present There is no supporting an anti-Nebraska head white a Nebraska liearl beats below. To be consistent it seems (hat no man opposed to Slavery aggression can vote for Gw*. tUo-ikimins election-^. Now ok Never, It is not pretended that all who claim to be oppoa. ed to the Douglas infamy moat vote for Pollock in order to be consistent. By no means. Some grains of allowance most be thrown in, lo preserve a filr average. Tlhcrc are some who pretend to be with the people, for the furtherance of unworthy smbi. lions. There was a hypocritical Jodoa among tha •pasties, and the “thirty pieces of taver” have a hort of admirers in the political world. W e hod no reference to such aa these when we spoke of consis. tency. They will vote ae policy seems to dictate. On the Temperance question Guv. Bigler Is equal, ty objectionable. He cannot asy what bis action on a Prohibitory Law would be when a committee of his fellow .citizens solicit his opinion upon that im. portsnt subject, yet has satis fled John Chambers that ho would approve a Right of Search Prohibito ry law. The Chambers letter does net clear up the fag that hovers about the Governor's dubious posi tion. We cannot agree with the Bradford Reporter that it is wrong to make temperance an issue in a politi cal campaign. It is well enough to talk of preserv ing that question pure from political corruption; hut if the question is ta be decided at the ballot-box, U must go into tit political arena and lake ill chance with other issues. We have no fear that it will be como corrupted or prostituted by bad men to base purposes, to any great extent. We believe that the inherent virtue of tho reform will suffice to keep it pure under all adverse circumstances. True, it will be ased os a hobby by some; so is every tern that is dignified with the name of Religion. But does that render true religion less pore 7—less to be venerated and practiced 7 We think nob We are forcibly impressed with the justice and importance of the remarks of the Philadelphia Reg ister in relation to the subject of a Prohibitory law. It baa strongly urged the importance of electing men lo the Supreme Bench who are all right on (Ids ques tion. It says very truly, that the labor of Temper ance men is useless unless they first reform the power that is to declare upon the validity of the lew. It matters not how Wei) we succeed in 'reforming the Executive and Legislative branches, if you leave an old fogy Judiciary behind. It has-been e stand, ing remark with had men threalened with the pains and penalties of the taw—“ I’ll carry my case up to the Supreme Court, and beat you there, any how." Now, this ahould bo attended to in season. Wo have aeon no opinion upon tho Prohibition question from either of the gentlemen who are on the tickets before the people, that come* up to the proper mark.

Due Batfrnxa ;—I have enjoyed very good health since I left Tioga Comity, which waa on the stb of June.- I arrived at Fuller’s on the 22d, and staid there until after breakfast the next morning, when I set out tor Lacrosse, which place.! reached before anon. Crossed the Mississippi in the afternoon, iu company with. B. H,, and De. 8., and families, (both from Chatham,") with six yoke of oxen, two waggons and nine head of cows and yoqng 'oaUle. We trav eled about 170 miles in ten days, with plenty of feed for 5000 head of cattle, if we had had so many to drive. We saw but five shanties ip that distance where anybody lived, and one village of perhaps 35 Indian tents (pat bod been erected the day previous. About 140 Indians and 40 horses wore congregated. I bought a pickerel of them weighing ten pounds dressed—lor 30 cents; and saw many more in the Zumboo river, (about half as large as Pine Creek) larger than the'bne 1 bought. The second day af ter leaving the |ndiahs, we traveled by pocket com pass, without any road or mark to follow, and arriv ed at Red Wing on the evening of the 3d of July. Red Wing is a' city of three well "built frame houses and perhaps tin shanties. One steamboat, and oft. on three, touch here every day, to leave passengers and their effects, or to take away those that are sick of the country, and with the mail three limes per week. People are flocking ihJgJAnmcsota/very fast and but fevv'return. The country sppeW to be a desirable place for speculators, or office-seekers. Red Wing it tbe connly seat of Goodhue county, and the first court was sitting when we arrived, with men enough to form a Grand Jury, whose business It is to authorize the laying out of roads and or der regulations’ for tbe city. This moy seem a strong term for a part of the country not yet survey ed by Government; bat an U. S. law pre-empts un ■urveyed land to settlers as well as that which is surveyed, and leaves them in peaceable possession until it is thrown into market, when ho must be pro. pared to pay for it in 30 days. This is Ihc'way that Red Wing stands. A claimant hat run off bis claim into city lots,and quitclaims to those who wish to be in town. Two-thirds of an acre now sells for 830; but wilt probably go up to 850 by nest spring. We have two stores, or warehouses,occupied by for warding merchants—one temperance tavern and two boarding shanties. Codings, and sample boards just as they come from the mill are taken frop the water's edge el 813 per M.,and pari of the time not to be had at that, though rails are continually pass ing ibr the lower markets, from the pino region near St- Pjml. We don’t wait fqr floods here, though a flood is beneficial to raftsmen. • ■ » •. I have not seen a pale face or an ago* case sino» J left the Genesee river in York Slate.

After wo left Milwantce, the country sedmed rap. idly to improTC in appearance, and I think the qual ily of soil in Wisconain and Minnesota, that I saw, is aa fir preferable to that of Tioga county general ly, aa Bulkey’s Tints on the Coyranesqne, are to the Pine Creek barrens; or, if you please, you may com pare the big meadow flats with the barren hills. You may think this exaggerated, hut it is, so tar as my observation goes, correct. The rye that 1 saw in Wisconain before the 33d of June, was uni. family seven and a half feet tall, with heads from four to eight and a half inches long. Wheal about six feet high, with heads about six inches long. I speak of Wisconsin, for I have seen but one field of wheat hra-e, sowed on prairie sod turned av er just before so\Ving,and it compared well with the Wisconsin wheat. X have seen three pieces of corn in this Territory, planted on fresh broken sod, that exceeded the best lull of corn X ever saw either in Tioga or Lycoming. I have seen no older settlers than those who came here last fall, excepting a few in Red Wing. I will tell you more about it when I gel belter acquainted with the country; but from what I have seen, can safety invite all who wish to better themselves to come here. In my next, X will advise you of the route &c. Yours, 6. H.

With great trout le and under many embarrassments, the Road was finally completed in , 1,830. T his was accomplished through the exertions of James R. Wilson, Bsq., the Rail, road Company, and I regret to say, that Mr. Wilson, reaped a rich reward for his enter prise and public spirit in great pecuniary em barrassment, and the gratitude of the citizens of Tioga Village. He, like many other en terprising men,allowedhis public spirit instead of his interests, to govern him; and he be came personally liable for a Road which was constructed some ten yearstn advance of the public necessity for it. For when the road was completed, and the Coal sent to market, so little prepared were the public,that Coal which cost $2,50 delivered at Corning, was with great difficulty sold for even its freight, and but a limitedilernand for it existed even at that rale. • Under sueb a slate of things, embarrassment, loss, ruin, followed. Those who had nobly embarked Capital in a lauda ble attempt to develop the resources of ibis rich Goal basin, had only the consolation of knowing (hat they were ten years in advance of their time. j The roatf and mines being open, the sup ply of coal was for some years greater than the demand. This however increased yearly, and latterly with great rapidity. As the su. perior quality of the coal became fcnbwn, es. pecially did it work its way into Iron manu factories and shops where wrought iron is made, tilt now there w scarcely a Blacksmith between Albany and Chicago who does not lay in, his supply of “ Blossburgh.” The reason of this high appreciation of this .fuel, is, that it is quite free front sulphur, and un like the coal sold at Erie and Cleveland, it makes on the forge a “ hollow fire’’—that is, the outside of the fire is a crust by the. wel ding or melting together of the coal. This crust retalins the greatest amount of heal in side, just where it is wanted, to impayt to the iron the greatest heat in the shortest time. For smith’s purposes this Blossburgh coal is unrivalled, and will ever be in demand. And fur ages to come, these mines will be able to afford an adequate supply of the article. This basin is some six miles by ten, and be ing intersected in numerous places by deco cut streams, affords numerous places for en tries, and give ample draitlage without cost. There ore several different seams, of coal, of which but three ore at present worked. They are of similar character—generally three feet in thickness—nearly continuous, and free from faults. The Railroad which was cfrigiTnaFly con ducted with the narrow track and flat W, has recently been relaid with heaj'y T rails and made six feet guage, to correspond wit h the “N. Y. & E." and “Buffulofand Corn ing.” This dispenses whh the necessity ol're loading at Corning. The roo'd is capable of transponing an almost indefin le quannly of coal. At the present time thure are two mines in operation, and both arq vigorously prosecuted. The one at Blusabuijgh has been in operation, 14 years, n’nd is worked by W. Al. Moljory, E«q., under the management of James H. Gulick, Esq. Ho id an energet ic business man, and accomplished gentleman, long familiar with the mining business, aon early indentified with the operation in this Valley. Mr. G. is ably seconded by John James, a thorough bred Welsh miner, w no, has opened his mine in a scientific manner, and works it economically and with energy. There are now about 125 persons employed in it. The miners earn on an everage each SlO per week, afier paying their boys for “ nul ling” out their Coal 8 or 10 shillings per day. Seventy-five cars of five tons each are dis patched daily to Corning.} Cost of mining is 10 shillings per ton—freight to Corning 81,20. The oiher mine is situated four miles above Blossburgh, on Morris Run, and is owned by the Tioga Transportation Compa ny. Jt is a.recently opened work, to which the Railroad has been extended. Prom this mine 80 cars of three tons each are daily dispached lo Corning, and preparations are now being made lo open a new mine, and to reopen one which has remained for some yertrs idle. The demand for coat is rapidly in creasing. This will lead lo an increased ac tivity in mining operations, and consequently to increased prosperiiy in this region. The fire clays of this Coal Basin, are found to beot superior qualily. Fire brick ore now exten sively manufactured haro by Mr, Guhck, which stand high where ihey have been used, and in some instances they have been ined alongside of the famous “ Stourbridge” wuh satisfaction. There are two glass works here both “ blown out,” owing to losses consequent upon the low prices at which French Glass is imported by that Democratic Tariff oi *4B. The materials for glass making are abundant, and produce a glass of tho very best quality, and had the Tariff of '42 been continued, the ■ glass business of this region would have grdwn to an extent requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital, and giving employment to make hundreds of laborers, What an unmitigated curse upon the industry of this State of Pennsylvania is the Walker in the State by Ibe casting vote of the Vice President, and he a Pennsyl vanian.
