Will cacl\ man jog his neighbor 7 “By Authority.”.—No. 2. Were every hottest pro-slavery man to read the life and correspondence of Washington, Jefferson's complete works, Madison and Monroe's public rec ord and the opinions of such men as Franklin and Govcrneur Moms relative to African Slavery in this land, wo should have no more fear for the bullying threats of the Slave power. Honest men may he implicitly trusted with all the truths that have been promulgated since creation’s morning ; and left-face to face will) the truth they seldom tall in deciding for Ihclnselvea in what, direction duly lies, W,e hold that the I ruth shall be spoken at all tunes, so far as facts, flowing out of those truths, may be giv en in evidence. Let the truth be preached at all limes and in all proper places. It is nun’s duty lo sow ; the increase is given by a higher power. Washington’s testimony against Slavery is clear and unequivocal. We showed lasi week, in his let. ter lo Lafayette, that ho looked upon the institution as a great wrung, and eagerly sought Us entire ab | olilioii at the earliest practicable moment. In order j lo do this he expressed a hope that Slavery should never extend itself into any new territory of the Republic, and rejoiced lhat the'first step lo Ibis de | sirable end had been taken in the enactment of the j Ordinance of 1787. In s letter to Mr. John F. j Mercer, written in 1786, lie says: f ’*l never mean, unless particular circumstances I compel me to it, to possess another slave by pur- I chase, it being among inyjirst wishes to sec some i plan adopted, by which slavery in this country may 1 he abolished by law.” What language can be plainer than this? There lis no ground for cavil. Washington claimed it as I “one of his first wishes” that slavery should be do. I slroycd out of the land ; and in his letter lo Lafay | cite some years later, he speaks of the prevention | of its extension into new territory as a thing of the i greatest importance in the work of its final extinc . tion. Contrast the policy of our Washington with I the pro slavery measures of our Pierce, Douglas, ! Cass and Iluchanan ! Which preached the Arue do l mocratic doctrine 7 Whose testimony is lo be ta -1 hen n's the lest of democratic orthodoxy?—Wash -1 inglon’s, or Arnold Douglas's? “Let every one be I fully persuaded in his own mind.” During the same year, in a letter to Lafayette, ' Washington took occasion lo express Ins warm ap proval of lhat nobleman’s purchase of an estate in ' Cayenne will) a view to emancipate the slaves upon I it. Wrote tic— “It is a noble and generous proof of your human* i 1 v.

Your search'will be vain, unless you go beyond the list eight years. Beyond that limit you will find Caleb Cushing a determined friend of free soil and free men. Now, he is a high priest of Slavery —and id omne genua. In the original draft of the Declaration of Amer* lean Independence, Thomas Jefferson, the great apostle of Democracy, expressed Ins horror ofSlav’ry j distinctly and feelingly. In his specification of grievances endured by the American people from Great Britain, he soys: “ilc (tilt king,) has waged cruel warfare ogainst human nature itself, violating its mo*l sacred rights of life and liberty, in the persons of a distant people who have never offended him; captivating them and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or lo incur miserable death in transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of Inßdcl Power*, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. Determined io keep open a market where men are Itotighl aud sold, he has prtolituted his negative for suppressing every legislative at tempi to restrain or prohibit this execrable traffic.” Were any citizen of Kansas, or of any Southern Stale, to express himself in regard to Slavery so dc* cidedly as Jefferson has done in the above extract, he would be mobbed as certainly as that the sun rises and sets. Vet, what was stigmatized by Jeff* erson as “a cruel war against human nature,” “an execrable traffic”—is it less lo be denounced and opposed, because Arnold Douglas plots for its ex tension and James Buchanan goes down on his knees to kiss the monster’s toe ? We apprehend (hat right is right, by whomever snslaincd, and that wrong is wrong, whether denounced by Thomas Jefferson, or lauded into a virtue by Arnold Douglas and his compeers. jßlill, friendly reader, wc give yon cheerfully the words of one who spoke, as “hav ing authority.” In Jefferson's Reports of (he debates in the Con. stituiional Convention of 1787, we find the voice of every patriot of the lime, against Slavery. When the Apportionment clause of the present Constitu tion came up for consideration and adoption, the opinions of such men as Jefferson, Madison, Morris and other celebrated Republican fathers, were freely avowed and appear on the record of (hut time as written out by Jefferson himself. During the de* bate on that section, Mr. Madison said— *We have «een the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of lime, the ground of the moil oppressive dominion ever exercised by mao oyer men. * * And in the third place, where Blarery exists, the Republican theory becomes still more fMldcious." These debates arose on the proposition to rata the r'urcs as firs to three freemen, in lha representative THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. apportionment. Mr.’Oovernour Morris opposed the ruling of men as property, on tlie -ground (bat if they were property they were nol jaen; but il mien, properljrjthen (bey were titiiens, and enti tled to sole.

Should any wonder how such bold talk came to bo. tolerated then and (here, we reply, the Slave Power had not then reached its present dangerous ascendency, so as to be able to destroy the liberty of speech, as’ it has since done. Men did not dis semble before the people then for the prospeolive aggrandizemnt of Self. In that, they seriously dif fer from the politicians of the present day of Amer ican degeneracy. We shall return to the subject next week. Under the head of “astounding profanity/* the Honrgdalr Herald copies one of the many malicious lies published by Mr. Montrose Clmse during the past year, with comments. Tho "astounding pro fanity," lies in-the two words—"dunined,” and “hell.” neither of which are profane, though quite vulgar and to bo eschewed by gentlemen. Were we as fond o[ retailing the slips of the tongue in Lprivatc life, as our Wayne friend has (Coved himself to be ; nay, even to allude personally to profanity grown into a monstrous habit, us we have seen it in' some, otherwise very good men, we cannot think friend Bcardsleo would consider it cither manly or generous. He con leases to a shudder as he read the nsloundingly profane paragraph. We advise him to lull that to strangers, for it wen'i go down with those who have hob.a-nobbcd with the some what frcc-01-speccli editor of the Herald. Indeed it won’t. Don’t pul on a Sunday face now, and try to look innocent, because friends never reprove each Ollier's faults in the public prints. We take this occasion to disclaim any participa tion in the alleged assertion that Mr. Grow will have nothing whatever to do with IVo Cincinnati Convention, but that he will not have anything to do with it is very satisfactorily evidenced in his course in Congress. How cither he, or Judges Wilmot and Jessup have fallen imu a pit, as he im agines, we do nut gather from the Herald's elabo rate article. The shooting of Sheriff Jones at Lawrence, was a cowardly deed—a deed such as the murderers of Barber and Brown only can perpetrate. This assas sination of unsuspecting men, this stab in-lhe-dark business, is worthy of the severest condemnation. But wo do not forget that men have been shot down in Kansas merely because they chnse to avow their preferences for Freedom. Where were the tongues of our pro.slavery brethren of the press then ? They were oblivious to Uio fuel that Murder stalked Kansas. We have one in our eye who nev er so oiuch as permitted the knowledge of those murders la creep into his paper even as news items. But now he is blatant. “Murder reigni in Kansas !’ shrieks this honest editor. Yes, sir; Murder does reign there, and has reigned there for months; and you knew it long ago. Vou were in favor of dog killing, sir, until your dog was killed; then, ah, then, yen discovered that dog-killing isa barbarous sport Yes, sir—other people’s dogs hod no right to live ; but your dog—all, that was anollcr matter —entirely different. Certainly it was different— very different, sir, palpably different, contemptibly different! —no more alike than light is like light, or hypocrisy like hypocrisy.' We do hale to feel our confidence in human nature shaken ; or (o feel con tempt eclipsing our friendship for one ol God’s cHea lures; hot wc have tried to judge charitably and cannot: we have said—“ Man is frail and theudver tisement of the Moil Routes is very long, and fat, and profitable;” but conscience wnnld not clause him; and wc trust our quondam friend will lake these few lines kindly. O’” An. Error. —One of our exchanges speaks of Gov. Pollock’s "organs.’’ Wc are confident tlial Gov. Pollock bus no "organ,” public or secret. Ilia policy has been from llio first, to meddle with no do. pnrlment of Government but his own ; and while he allows no dictation to the Governor, he docs not dictate to the printer. —Letcishurg Chronicle. Very good. Gut every public man hu an ac credited organ, sometimes more than one. Those organs arc with reason, supposed to express them selves in harmony with the views of that man, espe cially on great and leading issues. Wc have no disposition to trump up a charge against Gov. Pol lock outside of evidence ; but these arc Lines when our public men must show where they stand. Straws may tell which way the wind blows sometimes we think they do; and the straws from N'orlhum bciUud certainly drill southward with a vengeance. Tho Miltonian is dumb to our questions—probably playing Douglas under the scanty cloak of its dig nity. The Chronicle takes up the glove and con tents itself with disclaiming lor the Governor, any interest in other than the executive department of Government. Wo knew that before ; wo aiked In know whether the complexion of his mind could be determined by the pro-slavery course of his home paper. Wo repeat that question ; and if it remains unanswered as it has for two or three weelo silenoe will be properly considered as assent. Tut is all. The Philadelphia election went Demoiralic by more than 4000 majority. We are glad of it. The American papers in that oily are in a gool degree responsible for the result. When men learn their weakness in merited defeat they somctirtcs grow wiser. Unworthy of Man.— lt is very truly written— “ The merciful man is merciful to his bea«.” It is practically true, as every-day observalim demon slratcs. Show us a man who provides waim stables and good provender for his cattle, and wo yvill show you a heart that God's bounty has not touched in vain. A heart big enough to hold a thtuaand of those shrivelled things which prompt thor owners to build fine, warm houses for themselves, while their cows, oxen and horses shiver under the lee of tumble-down hovels and board fences, winter upon winter. Indeed, no merciful, largo hearted man ev er proved unmerciful to his animals. We have said this much, because wo have heard frequent mention made of a deed of cruelty enacted in this place quite recently. It is said' that a mis arable, worn out old horse was set upon by three in dividuals, knocked down with a heavy billctof wood —held down by two valiant men while the third be labored the poor brute until its head was covered with blood and bpuises. This rumor sounds like s a fshlo. Wo fesl very much like pronouncing it a sheer fabrication. Three respectable men so dis grace their manhood, so forfeit every claim lo'the privileges of civilized society, as to undertake such a brutal deed 7 We care not to believe it of any members of this community. We ask for no proofs of suchan incredible talc; but reel content, rather, with replying to the, witnesses, though they be a thousand, after the manner of the opppsers of Spiritualism—■ "Gentlemen, you relate an occurrence outof tliocommoncourse ; you have trusted your eyes which were, given you that you might be de ceived and we might add with equal truth and Justice—"ll ia hot reasonable, because we do nof wiab to believe it-” ■ .
