The battle which David Wilraot is ma king, almost single-handed, in Pennsylvania should dnlist lor him the sympathy of all generous hearts. Mr. Wilmot is apparently no great favorite among the managing poli ticians of any party, and has little assistance in the canvass of the Stale. Had he been able to secure the attendance on bis appoint ments of his antagonist, Getn. William F. Packer, he would have needed no other help; hut the backers of the Pro-Slavery candidate rigorously refused to let him speak to the same audiences with Witmot. They dare not let their blind followers see how completely they have deserted the, cher ished principles of Pennsylvania in subser viency to the behests of the Slave Power. Their own declarations, from which their lips are hardly yet cold, that under no cir cumstances would they consent to a further diffusion of Slavery, are abundantly on re cord ; yet they coldly turn their backs on every profession, and. sordidly “crook the pregnant hinges of the knee” where “thrill may follow fawning.” Pennsylvania in 1819-20 stood almost unanimous against the Extension of Slavery, and James Buchanan personally and unqualifiedly approved that ftand. In 1847, Pennsylvania pronounced J unanimously through her then strongly Democratic delegation in Congress, in favor of the same principle embodied in the “Wil mot Proviso,” and Adam Ritter, the foun der and lifelong editor of the Reading “Ad-- ler,’’ the “Dutch Bible” of Berks County, united in that vote. Now Ritter is dead, and that same 'Adler is making its readers believe that to act as Ritter voted ten years ago is to favor Abolition, incendiarism and disunion. This could not effectually be done if the Free Soil side of the question were fairly before the whole people; but there ate more than One Hundred Thousand Vo ters in Pennsylvania who never hear that side. If Judge Wilmot is beaten, it will be by the vote of this vast body whom our arguments never reach. If there had been a paper printed or generally circulated in Pennsylva nia which gave full and fair accounts of this latest struggle on the one hand to extend, on the other to restrict, the power of Slavery, including the doings in Kansas throughout the last three years, we are confident that Wilmot’s majority next month would be very large. The People of that Slate are mainly honest but deceived ; they need only to know the truth and they will heed it. Let every Free Stale man among them appoint himself a Committee of enlightment, and be active in that capacity henceforth till the Election. A few thousand copies of Dr. Gibon’s ac ccouot of Gov. Geary’s experiences in Kan sas lent from neighbor to neighbor, could not fail It 't a saluiai ‘'flueo~ jail to exert a salary influence. Republi cans of Peasylvania !on your soil tlie great battle of ’5O was fought and lost. You can recover it in ’57. Resolve that no effort i shall hespared this auspicious consumation.— | A'. Y. Tribune. Tobacco in Cuejidng Counts.— Many of our readers, we presume, are not aware of ihe extent to which the tobacco crop is planted in this county. In the town of Big fiats we learn there are about eleven hundred acres planted wi:h tobacco. The (own of Chemung has also a very large amount of land in tobacco. In fact, we believe, there is no town in the county which has not a con siderable amount of the weed id prospect.— It is a very lender crop to.; raise in this sec tion, but when it succeeds well it is extremely profitable. We understand that the prospects for this year are entirely satisfactory to those interested. —Elmira Advertiser, We have in our sanctum an admirable Photograph likeness of Hon. David Wilmot, Hie “dangerous 11 Republican nominee for Governor who caused Packer to bent such a precipitate leireal. When we look at the fconesi, resolute features of our gallant stand ard bearer, we do not much wonder that packer incontinently sought safely behind the ■tale Cnmimuee. A glance from the steady we of \Vjlmot would well nigh wither a ■doughiace” like Packer, and cause him to ■iriuk nviay out of sight. —Erie Constitu won. -31-A-R-R-I-E-D pii Tmv, Madi-on Co., Illinois, Aug. 23, Mr. HENRY BA p.v and AUiUaTA. daughter of E.

KANSAS has bad her share of the Glory, Fun, Confusion &c M and I am happy to state that she is about quieting herself and yielding the palm to the little village of Tioga. About the first of November last I commenced selling Goods in Tioga, am still selling. For a little time past there has been quite an effort on the part of some to establish a standard price for goods par ticularly on leading articles the very articles of which the poor man uses the most. A few days since 1 made up my .mind to change my prices .on ELOtJR & MEAL, as I thought I had a right to. I therefore had a very modest handbill printed informing the people of what I' intended doing in the future. No sooner bad the fact become known that I bad reduced the price, than one man selling the same kind of Goods, says: “Its a lie! Cco’t be the same article! I know it ain't good!” Another, interested in keeping up old fogy prices, presents the documents to show that from the prices he pays in Buffalo for Flour, Meal &c., of coarse ETZ'S article at the low price can not be as good as ours at our high prices. Great discovery I. Sensible reasoning I Humbug conclu sion I How long since did they find out that my articles were not lip-lop? Why, Just the moment my price did not agree with theirs. Our bnly'answer to their unkind remarks toward us, is, that our dour was very nice until wc changed the price. Did that change the quality 7 when it is the selfsame article we have sold since last April. Hundreds can bear me witness that it is os any article they ever used. It lias never been our practice nor never will be to say aught of the quality of our neighbor’s goods. But we do aay that our "extra superfine” and “su perfine” flour is as good as any flour manufactured or sold in Tioga County. You citizens that buy don’t.longer believe the humbug yarn that you must pay from 50 to 75 per cent for goods, especially if you get trusted a few months. No wonder every plank in the Wellsboro* and Tioga Plank Road has received a thousand curses from the merchants of Tioga village, because it has driven trade from us, .they say. The curses will grow louder and deeper both from buyer and seller until Goods arc sold at a reasonable cash profit. Since we commenced wc have tried to meet the wants of the public, and we flutter ourselves that* bar large cash sales are good evidence that our effort has not been a failure, but has been appreciated by a generous and candid pub. lie. We shall continue selling Goods in the corner store of A. C. & J. S. Bush, directly opposite of Baldwin, Lowell &. Co., where we shall be pleased to show our Goads and give our prices. We shall buy a large stock of all kinds ot Goods in New York this fall, and shall hope by pursuing a straight forward course to merit the favor of enough of the people of Tioga county to sell them and get our pay. We shall try and have the quality and price satis factory, Call and sec before purchasing, . LXST OF PRICES.
