Mystbbious ABDuonon or A Yooito Gihl.—On Tuesday anerooon.of Ust week, a rough-looking man, who gave hie name n» Fitch, called ai the residence of a widow woman namedßumsey , ! on the corner of Main and Hudson streets, in the Third Ward,;and staled that he wished to engage her Miss Prances A. Rumsey, to do house-wOrk Tor his family. He also stated that he lived on the Southport side of the river, about one mile from the village, and that his wifewaq a member of Dr. Murdoch’s church. Miss Rumsey was not at home at the lime, but the man was directed where she could be found. Fie immediately repaired to the house where the girl was temporarily at work-; stated the hhji-ct of his v\sit, concluded upon the wages he would give her, and returned with her to her mother's house. He then went away, and shortly afterwards returned with a buggy, and departed with the girl, as was supposed, foi his home. Next day, (Wednesday,) be returned to the house of Mrs. -Rumsey, and brought a note from her daughter requesting that she would let the bearer, (Fitch) have her doilies. The mother, iu the meantime, hav ing learned that no person by (be name of Fitch lived in the town, on the river-road, re fused to give the man her daughter’s clothes, and upbraided him for deceiving her and tak ing her child away. The mao assured her all he had previously stated was true, and finally succeeded, we believe, ia getting the clothes belonging to the girl, it now turns out, that the mother’s suspicions were correct, as, no man answering to the description of the fellow, who gave his name as Fitch, can bo found in the town of Southport or in Elmira. On Monday several officers were engaged in visiting the principal bqwdy-houses in this village with the hope o( finding the young girl, but although they thoroughly examined no less than thirty of thorn, their efforts proved unavailing. It is supposed the rascal, who took this plan to inveigle a respectable girl into one of the numerous haunts of infa my which disgrace our place, has her secre ted somewhere about the village, or taken her elsewhere until the excitement about the mai ler has subsided. We trust that the authori ties will use all proper exertions to had the whereabouts of Miss Rumsey, and thus save a virtuous girl from ultimate ruin. She is in her sixteenth year, und is represented to have been a very industrious girl. As a matter of course, her mother is greatly shocked at her mysterious disappearance, and will be very thankful to any one who will give her the least clue as to the whereabouts of her daugh ter, or of the villain who abducted her. — El mira Advertiser. A Free White Ma#i im Slavery. —We have jusl heard of a circumstance which por trays the beauty of Slavery) and affords a caution to all Northern people to beware how they enter a Slave State. In December last, a company of strplling play actors visited Calinrrngus County, in this State, and enter tained the people of that locality by perform ing in the various villages that are growing up there. Among other places they visited Linden, where resides a family named Barn hart, who were among the early settlers, and are Mohawk Dutch. This family had a son who was not celebrated for the delicate white ness of his complexion, but who had acquired a knowledge of the violin, which was a source of great satisfaction to himself and his friends. Whfch the play acfprs came to Linden, Barnhart visited them, and took with him his violin to show what he could do in the way of music, which is akin to the drama. He played, was admired by the actors, and after some negotiation was hired to travel wi'h the company and grace their orchestra. They went into Pennsylvania, and the term of the engagement of Barnhart expired, when he was reengaged for a abort time. They then went into Maryland, and so on into Virginia. Since then, until some three weeks since, nothing had been heard of the young and in experienced fiddler. The first intelligence of him was that the play actors, when they got into the interior of Virginia, sold him into Slavery, where he is now held in bondage under that sale. This could scarcely be credited at firs', but enough has since been learned to induce belief on the part of the filher of Barnhart that it is even so, and when*nur informant left Linden, a few weeks since, the old gentleman was making his ar rangements to follow his son and extricate him fmm his servitude. Such is Slavery.— Buffalo Express. A.\ Amateur Postmaster. —A striking instance of the vanity of human expectations occurred recently in a thriving coal-mining village, in n neighboring county. A certain Aspiring individual, who claims’ to have done the State—or,'rather, Mi. Buchanan—some service in the late campaign, was an appli cant for the post-office in the village. He laid, his plana judiciously, os he thought. At length, matters being “on a train,” and a special agent —the postmaster under Pierce— having been dispatched to Washington to gel the appointment effected, the aspirant fell qni'e secure, and even went so far as to an nounce his appointment, and that he already had “the papers’’ in his pocket. He accord ingly hired an office, and had it fitted up with all the modern improvements, and no doubt was already firigering the mails iff anticipa tion. But the best laid schemes foil,’at times. The agent came back from Washington in due lime, but he brought his own reappoint ment in his pocket. This was a staggerer to Mr. Buchanan’s friend. The disappointment of his hopes, and the .ridicule of those who had witnessed his swaggering,’ were too much to bo borne, and he hastily disposed of his newspaper, and left for Wilkesbarre, where it is said he intends to practice law for a live lihood.

Al.laslllie Republican party of Pennsylvania has lakea a bold stand under a hold and independent standard-bearer. It has achieved this distinctive organization :in the nomination of David Wii.mot lor the highest offidß in the gilt of the peopje of tills Commonwealth. It is not- too tnuch to soy that to David Wilhot, more than to any other man, is the cause of Freedom indebted for the present power and influence of its parly. He was the first states man of the lime to take the bold ground of “ no more Slava States!"—and under ell circumstances unflinchingly to adhere to it. Uncompromising hos tility to the aiders and abettors of the Oligarchy, non known os the Democratic party, has caused him to be feared and dreaded by-lhe Oligarchs, with an intensity equaled only by their hatred of every thing ennobling in human character. But to the masses—the intelligent masses—the unflinching firmness of Mr. Wiluot in the advoca cy of Frce-Soil, free homes and free Men, has been a guiding star through the smoke and dust of ordi nary political struggles. By these he is revered and honored, nut for himself but for his fidelity and in. corruptibility. With the masses bis popularity is deservedly great: deservedly, because his sympa thies have ever been with them as his labors have been for them. They will hall his nomination with onleigned pleasure, end will deposit their suffrages tor him in October in token ol their appreciation ol noble efforts in behalf of Freedom, It Is not to onr purpose to say modi of the foal mouthed abuse which third rale demagogues have alwoyi been eogcr yo heap upon David Wilbot. Tbo deeds of the man must, as they do, give the lie to such contemptible do tamers. We do not know a political gambler, or low and beastly vagabond— such as may be raked out of (ho gutters of the pro slavery party with other less offensive offal,—who does not improve every opportunity to void bis fillb at Wiluot. The mere politician instinctively bates him, and the demagogue bates him because he fears him. So far os oar part in tbo conduct of the campaign is concerned, we shall spend no time in' mere per sonal abase of candidates. That is no part of our duty- We shall make this campaign upon the issue —-“Freedom, or Slavery. 11 Of the can didate, Gon. Packu, we only know that he .is the candidate of the parly that declares Slavery to be a national institution, sustains the outrages of bordcr- RofEans, and seeks to undermine the liberties of a continent through a corrupt Judiciary, Till* is suf ficient ground of opposition. And bo much wo have said without knowing if the Republican nominee will accept or decline the domination. We have not yet received the resolutions adapted by the Convention lately held at Harrisburg, and probably shall not get them in lime for. publication Ibis week; but wo have seen a digest 6f them. We bad supposed tint the Convention would con tent itself with adopting the Philadelphia platform, embodying, as that instrument does, the principles of the Republican party. In ibis wo are disappoint ed. We have a mild edition of the Comedy of Er rors so miserably played out in 1856. We thought that the time for baby-talk was over; that the par ly bad enunciated its principles in National Conven tion ; we were deceived. We must hove a new plank or two in the platform, meaningless, vapid and intensely childish. Why are ll(pse plunks in serted 7 They are destructive, etch of the other • each declares the oilier to be void; both insult ev ery honest Republican. [There was no fution of el ements in that Convention; why pretend that there was 7 The pretence is a gilded pill, prepared to tickle the palates of onsuspecting Americans. We cry "Shame!” upon such silliness,such babyish ness and trifling in tills dark hour of Freedom’s peril. We cannot apeak far the Republican masses, but fur one who loves Freedom better than life, and honorable defeat belter than ignoble victory, for this one wo say, that we repudiate, now and forever, this ruinous trifling, this jeopardizing of tho interests of a party, upon the success of whose declared princi ples wy religiously believe the salvation of. a conti nent depends. And did we not consider David Wn. hot ol more worth and integrity thin all the two penny Stale Platforms that were ever patched up by timid politicians, the ticket of that Convention might go elsewhere for sopport and countenance. As we protested against Hie Nicholson abortion in '55, so do we repudiate the platform, si a whole, just miscarried by the Harrisburg Convention. If we stand alone, so be it. Tho selection aftsu noble a standard-bearer makes the campaign open lutß. ciently distinct issues; so iar so good. But (lie in. fonlile resolutions I—away will) such fol-dc-rol! I Mr. P. P.

Wo see no escape - from this conclusion. There is a way to right wrongs, and there is a way to reverse the irrepealable decisions of the highest Court in the earth. We referred to (his a few weeks ago. We do not assume to speak for the Republican party, but for ourself, in reviewing these tilings. The Republican party grounds its hope of redress in the Constitution; speaking for one, we do not stop there in this emergency. We revere the Constitution just so lor as it answers the end lor which it was.framed—“to secure the blessings of “ liberty, for ourselves and for posterity, to farm a “ more perfect union and to eetablieh Justice." But when it fails to serve these ends, we place depend ence no longer upon it. There higher law, en. acted by a power to which all men owe allegiance, Our fathers recognized and obeyed that law when they threw off the yoke of Britain, It may become necessary for their children tu imitate that glorious example. Let the men of to day prepare themselves for the worst, warned by the fate of those nations whose liberties exist only in history. Constitutions may moulder into dust and the na- tions to whom they were laws, may pass away be. yond the utmost bound of history in Use future; but ~lhc great natural charter of human rights must en dure with Tilne. That is beyond the sacrilegious daring of Oligarchs and Supreme Courts. When the people learn to lean upon this great charter, and to disobey every human law that contravenes its un. mistakable teachings, then will they be worthy of the sacred trust reposed in them by One “ Whose u Arm is tho Rock of the nations!" To the Editor of the Agitator Pk)ir Sis:—We, have witnessed with great pleas ure, the liberal spi/it in which our citizens are meet ing the call for their aid in building a new Acade my. There is nothing now to prevent a vigorous commencement of the work as soon as the weather will permit. ■ One trustee is to be elected on the first Monday in April. Would it not be well for those of the pres ent Board, who have nqither lime nor inclination to take active part in affairs' of the Academy, to re ■ign at that lime, and allow others who will take more interest in the matter, to bt elected la fill their places 7 . Wo commend this suggestion to the attention of the present Board of Trustees, * • We cheerfully give place to the foregoing commu nication and respectfolly commend its closing sug gestion to the consideration-of'those for-whom it is intended. We are enabled to announce the Impor tant fact in addition, that the people of this village have generously subscribed upward of $5,000 toward tho erection of the building. We art also informed that the contract will be let in good season. The Academy' is now, we rejoice to say, afixedfaet. As to the proposed plan of the building we know nothing. It is a', matter of much importance and is doubtless so considered by the Trustees. A few suggestions can certainly do no barm, since they are gratuitous. , The ground floor might be devoted to the prima ry school, recitation rooms and a Hail which might serve the ptirpoaesoC a Chapel, a Lecture and Speak ing room. A broad had might divide this flam jo two sections. The second and third, floor might be devoted to private rooms—say 30, in all—tor the ac commodation of two students cadi, with convenien ce* for study, and roomy enough for sleeping apart mepls. Frivatc apartments for the Teachers might also be provided on the. second floor.

This course is now adopted by some of our best districts and is found la work admirably,' J. F. CALKINS, Co. Sup. We invite attention to the proceedings of the Stale Convention, which occupy a large space of to-day’s paper. It will be seen that it was to all intents and purposes a Black Republican gathering, and that it nominated the most obnoxious candi dates to the Americans that could be found. It will be seen, also, that it is called on American Republican Convention, (hough it is well knowoithal the American party has no lot nor share in its proceedings, and is not represented by any representatives of its own appolnthiehl. The swindle (has attempted to be practised upon the American parly cannot prove suc cessful, but must react with tenfold vengeance upon those who have been unscrupulous enough to attempt if. The whole cha racier of the Convention shows that it is Republi can and nothing else, and no one can read its proceedings without being satisfied, that had it not been such, the Republican mem bers never would have abided by its action, but would have withdrawn, formed a dis tinctive Republican Convention, and nomi nated a distinctive- Republican ticket. This fact is clearly illustrated by the conduct of the Republican members. Not having yet all the particulars, we re frain from commenting at length on the char acter of the proceedings of the Convention, or the candidates nominated by it. So far as the candidates are concerned, they could not welt be more obnoxious to Americans than they are. Not one among them will be owned by them, as of their kith and kin. Wilmpt and Lewis are well known as out and-out Republicans, of the most ullra'strlpe, who are, in truth, nothing more nor less tha'n Abolition demagogues.' Bolhare Loco Foco radicals, in favor of free trade, and have not a single sentiment or feeling in common with the conservative views of the American Parly. Veech was formerly a Whig, then an Ameri can, and is now a Republican, having acted with that parly fur Fremont last Fall. As an apostate,He is known here, and wherever hb is known, it will be fully understood that this nomination, for an office for which he is notoriously unfit, is his reward for base treachery to the Fillnjore cause, and a shameless attempt to betray Iba American parly into the hands of Black Republicanism. His selection, as a pretended .peace-oOcring to the Americans in this community, is a flagrant insult, and will be so treated by them. Since writing the foregoing, we have re ceived a telegraphic abstract of the resolu tions, which were submitted by Judge Kelley, and they are. just of such a character as might be expected from him, by those who ktiow his bitter and intense haired the American party. The whole burden of these resolutions is nigger, nigger, nigger. A poor sop is thrown out to cqtch credulous Americans, in one of the resolutions, which gives the old Pope a slap, but there is nothing in it in favor of a changa.of the Naturaliza tion Laws, or the protection of American labor; or against ike' importation of Foreign Convicts and Paupers, It certainly shirks all the leading features of Americanism,— Away with such barefaced duplicity, and shameless hypocrisy !

Another Putnam Adventure. — A few weeks ago, Thomas Evans, of Chest Creek, Clearfield county, Pa., while on a hunting ex cursion, observed a ledge of locks, which his experienced eye detected as being Ihq haunt of a bear. It being late in the eventing, he went home, but returned next morning ac companied by bis brother. They soon found a narrow passage between the rocks that led into a dark and dismal cave. On arriving at the mouth of tho cavern, Thomas, after throw ing down his gnn, and divesting himself of his hunting accoutrements, crawled in through the narrow entrance, and after groping about in the dark for somo lime, had the-.pleasure of laying his hand upon bruin’s back. Hav. ing ascertained the position of thesnimal,.he returned to the entrance of the oave, and got. his gun, then went back into the cavern to visit his new acquaintance, while his brother remained outside to net as sentry, provided the animal attempted to escape. Having come up tq the bear again he.placed the muz zle of bis gun against the animal and fired. A furious growl ftrom the beast accompanied the report of the gun, and young Evans hur ried out of the oavo as soon as possible. He, however, put another load into his guo and scrambled back into the cave'again. This time he succeeded in putting a "ball through the vital part of the animal’s , body. It was dragged out and weighed over three hundred pounds.— Elmira Advertiser.

John W. Geary, at Lecompton, on the 4th iqst., forwarded bis resignation of the Governorship of Kansan to the. Department at Washington. Haying notified Wood son, Secretary, iof the Territory, of. this fact, and having surrendered to that officer the official control, be, in a,few days after quit the country and started for the Bast. He. arrived in this city on Sunday evening, ac% compacted by his private Secretary, Dr. Gihon. Yesterday afternoon he palled at this office, and in the course of a- long con-, versation gave os a complete-history of bis, administration in Kansas, and more than con-, firmed all the reports which teachedihe public through The Democrat of the outrages of the Pro-Slavery bandits abd rebels in that unhappy Territory. ........is ■.The Governor states the cause of bis res-, ignation to be the failure of ex-President Pierce to fulfill the pledges made at the lima of bis acceptance of the appointment. The promises of Mr. Pierce, ho says, vicre la support him (Geary) with the United States army, the militia, and the Treasury,if necea, sary ; but instead of receiving this aid, either in men or money, from the President, he has paid 813,000 out of his own pocket, for the support of his administration; and with re gard to military support, be has even been refused a detachment of two companies of cavalry, for which he' applied under the most urgent circumstances, and received tba haughty answer from the officer in command, that tho army of the United Stales was net employed to protect him. In addition, the Judiciary of the Territory, as well as ths military of the Government, refused its sop, port. Judge Lecompte thwarted him on all occasions, and having the means to execute his judicial decrees, was enabled to overrule him in every important measore. Again, throughout his whole official career he has been an object of hatred to an organ ized and sworn band of conspirators in the Territory. He states that fifty men were under oath from the day he entered the conn, try until he left it, to assassinate him provi, ded his official career should deviate front that course which they had marked out for him. His life thus in constant jeopardy, the judiciary bitterly opposed to him, the military inactive and stubborn, and (he Government without money or means of any khd, he vaa necessarily compelled to decline. The Gov ernor says he regrets the step bo was obliged to take most sincerely, and feels confident that bad ho received the assistance promised him, he could have administered the a(fiirs of the Territory in a manner acceptable to the honest settlers of both sides. In relation to the robberies, arsons and murders at the hands of the Pro-Slavery ruffians, which have taken place in Kansas, the Governor soys the half has not yet been told. He says : The murder of Buffum by Hayes was one of the most hold-blooded and atrocious affairs ever witnessed. The Gov ernor reached the spot a few moments after the affair occurred. As the poor fellow was lying upon the earth in his agonies, the blood streaming from his wounds, and (ha cold sweat of death upon his brow, he seized the Governor’s band, and declared that as be looked for mercy hereafter, be was innocent of all cabses of offense—=tbat it was a most foul and unprovoked murder. He asked bis assassin why he sought his life or sought to take his property—that upon his efforts de pended the subsistence of an aged father and mother, a deaf and dumb brother and a sister —that he himself was a cripple, and there fore harmless. To ibis appeal be was told that he was a “d-—d Abolitionist, and that they intended to destroy the whole of them. u Upon which Hayes,-otie of the gang, seized him by the oollar, and, placing the piilol against his stomach, shot him. The Governor pledged him, while be held his cold hand in his own, that lie would use all his power |to bring his murderer to justice. ‘‘l spent,” said the Governor, "five hundred dollars to have his assassio arrested} and I would have- spent five thousand dollars to have done'sov if it had been necesaary.” It is well known that the Governor had Hayes arested, but scarcely was he pot in prison, when Lecompte issued a writ of habeas cor pus, had him released and set qt liberty upon straw bail, Hayes is now in Missouri, and kplayiog the gentleman. The Governor further stales that alter the release of Hayes, Sutveyor-General Calhoun look occasion, in a public speech upon the matter, to declare that-the discharge of Hayes wga perfectly legal, and (hat it wna a mistake to suppose that the Territorial laws were erected for the benefit of any other persons than the Pro- Slavery men. Speaking of the insult offered him, which led lb the death of Sherrard, the -Governor gave a detailed - account of the transaction, and the manner in which fits assassination bad been previously planned- His.own firm ness, however, prevented its execution. Sher rard, the Governor states, with three others, waylaid him in the hall of the Legislature. He discovered them, and knew tljeir purpose; and, when Sherrard spoke to him ip® l d® 00 fnply, bat passed, on, when Sherrard sp» l upoh his back several times. As soon u these facts became known, 4 public meeting was held, composed principally of Pro-Sla** ry men, for the piirpd.se of denouncing
