I could wait-, and lo I she was all safe In the ■ trlindlc-bed, with Lu beside of her, both on’em stretched out together, one of her little hands on his nose; and whenßiissell looked in to the door she stirred a-bit,'and Lu licked her hand to keep her quiet. ‘lf tells,in the Bible about children's angels always seein’ the face of God, bo’s to know quick what to do for ’em, I sup pose,; and I’m sure her'n got to her afore the tornado; for though the house-roof had blow’d off, and the chimbley tumbled down, there trenVtrsplinterTior a - brick on -her bed, only close by -.the head on’t a great honk of stone had fell-down, and steadied up the clothes-press from tab Win' right on top of her. • So. then Russell rode over, six miles, to a neighbor’s and got two men, and betwixt 'em all they pried up the' beams of the barn, that had blowed on to the roof and pinned it down Oder roe, and then lifted up the boards and got me out; and I wan’t hurt, except a few bruises —but after that day I begun to get gray hairs. Well, Russell was pretty thankful, 1 b’lieve, more so’n he need to be for such a wife. Wc fixed up some kind of a shelter, but lu howled so all night we couldn’t sleep. It seems Bussell had seen the tornado to Cumberton, and, judg in’ from its course ’twoold come past the clear in’, he didn’t wait a minute, but saddled up ond come off; bat it had crossed the road once or twice, so it was nigh about eleven o’clock nfore he got home ; but it was broad moonlight. So I*- hadn’t been under the roof only about fifteen hours; but it seemed more. In the mornin’ Russell set out to find Simon, and I was so trembUj I' couldn’t boar to stay alone, and I went with him, he carryin’ baby, and Lu goin’ before, as tickled as could be.— We went a long spell through the woods keep in’ on the edge of the tornado’s road; for't had made a clean track about a quarter of a mile wide, and felled the trees fiat—great tulips cut off as' sharp as pipe-stems, oaks twisted like dandelion-stems, and hickories curled right up in a heap. Presently Lu gave a bark, and such a howl’, and there was Simon, dead enough ; a big oak hail blowed down, with the trunk right across his legs above the knots, and smashed them almost off, 'Twas plain it hadn’t killed him at once, for the ground all about his head was tore up as though with it, and Russell said his teeth and hands was fall of grass and grit where he’d hit and tore, a-dyin’ so hard. I declare, I shan’t never forget that sight! Seems as if my body was full of little icc-spickles every time I think on’t. Well, Russell couldn’t do nothin’; wo had no chance to lift the tree, so we went back to the house, and he rode away after neighbors; and while ho was gone, I had a long spell of think in.’ .Mother said she hoped I wouldn't have no hard lesson to teach me Major’s ways; but 1 had got it, and I know I needed it, cause it did come so hard. I h’lieve I was a better wo man after that. I got to think more of other folk’s comfort than 1 did afore, and whenever I got goin’ to he dismal ag’in I used to try’n’ find somebody to help; it was a sure cure. When the neighbors come, Bussell and they blasted and chopped the tree off of Simon, and buried him under pine that we calcula ted not to fell. Lu pined, and howled, and moaned for his master, till I got him to look after baby uqw and then, when I was bangin’ out clothes or milkin’ garden, and he got to like her in the end on’t near as well as Simon. After a-while there come more settlers out. our way, and we got a church to go to ; and the minister, Mr. Jones, he come to know if I was a member, and when I said I wan’t, he put in to know if I wasn’t a pious woman. “ Well,” says I, “ I don’t know, Sir.” So'l up and told him all about it and hojv I had had a hard lesson; and he smiled once or twice, and soys ho, — “ Your husband thinks you are a Christian, sister Potter, don’t he ?” “ Yes, I do,” says Russell, a-comin’ in be hind me to the door—for he’d just stepped out to get the minister a basket of plums. I ha’n’t a doubt on’t, Mr. Jones.” file minister looked at him, and I see he was kinder pleased. “Well,” says he, “I don’t think there’s much doubt of a woman’s being pious when she’s pious to home; and I don’t want no bet ter testimony’ll yours, Mr. Potter. I shall ad mit you to full fellowship, sister, when we have a church meeting next; for it is my opinion you •experienced religion under that blotved-dotrn' barn.” And I guess I did.—Atlantic Monthly. Selling their own Children. —The editor of the Brooklyn Star , a Virginian, says that instances of the sale of their own children by slaveholders are by no means uncommon at the South. He-mentions a remarkable instance that occurred in his own knowledge. A bro ther and sister were brought up together till the brother went to Cambridge. When he re turned, ho found his father insolvent, and that his sister was inventoried among the slaves and about to be sold. lie stole her away and rode with her night and day, until he reached the underground railroad west of the Ohio river.— He gave her a dagger, with the injunction not to let it from her grasp until she was in Canada, and also Lis mouej, and left her to the mercy of the humane. The pursuers got on her track, and it was only by means of two fast horses, the property of a member of Congress from that State, that she was carried to the lake and escaped to Canada in advance of them. She taught music, in a seminary at Montreal, until hhe was married to the son of an' English no bleman, and her brother now resides with them. About ten years ago a wealthy planter of Ala bama died, leaving two daughters, whom he had educated, partly in a seminary at Philadelphia, whore they had been accustomed to all the re finements of life. He left them all hi/ proper ty, his brothers to be the executors of the will. They knowing that the father’s marriage to the mother was invalid, she being a quadroon, whom he Lad purchased in. New Orleans, took the property, under the law, and sold the girls as slaves. The records of this ease can now be found in the courts of that State. A Virgina correspondent of The Times says lio was “very good authority” for stating that Mr. Buchanan, in spite of his disclaimers, means, if possible, to procure his own re-nomi nation to the Presidency-in 18C0, and failing in that, to control the nomination for the man whom he may prefer. Certain Virginia office holders are said to bo vigorously'at-work in his behalf. It is reported that he baa-entered into an alliance with Mr. Breckinridge, the Vice- President, agreeing, if he fails to get the nom ination for himself, to transfer his influence to him. Gen. Floyd, the Secretary of War, is ■aid to be in the plot. THE AGITATOR. HUSH YOUNG, Editor tk Proprietor. WBLLBBOROHGH, PA. Tlmridii) iTlornlng, Feb. 24, 1559.

There is a good deal in a name—a good deal more, sometimes, than the name itself seems to imply—a good deal in the application of the i name to thing named. We showed last week how well flash novelists of the modern school understood the philosophy of names, their ap plication to the characters drawn, and their adaptation to our sympathies. Indeed so deeply rootecTm our hearts does a name sometimes be come that wo separate it in onr minds from its object, and strange to say, we worship the name while we heartily despise the thing which it -represents. There was a time in the history of our coun try when the word Democracy had a signifi cance above and beyond its mere lexicographic definition. There was a time when this word carried.hope to the hearts of the, struggling and monarch-ridden masses of Europe, and terror to tyrants everywhere—a time when it meant “equal and exact justice to all men”—a time when it was another name for Freedom. In deed, so much magic was there in this word, that shortly after the organization of our Gov ernment one of the two great political parties of the country called itself by that name. It was a lucky political hit. To the millions of European emigrantswhohavesoughtand found homes on our welcome shores, it appealed with a syren’s voice. Dawn-trodden and oppressed at home, they saw in it the exercise of liberty of speech and action of which before they had hardly dared to dream. It is not at all surpri sing that with the hatred of tyranny which Eu ropean enlightenment inspires, emigrants on theix-j arrival in this country should declare themselves democrats, and attach themselves to a party calling itself democratic, without refer ence at all to the policy or principles to which, ns a party it stands committed. And we have no hesitation in saying that we believe there are thousands of foreigners who have been de ceived by the name of Democracy who are de terred by their pride from espousing principles far dearer to their hearts, but far less popular because less understood by the great majority of their coutrymcn. In order to illustrate more fully how much there is in a name, let us for a moment follow the devious windings of this word Democracy in the United States. We find that instead of fostering Freedom and extending its area, the great work of the Democratic party for the last tea or twelve years, has been the protection and extension of slavery. Upon this question alone the Democracy in all sections of the coun try Ore agreed. In Washington, Democracy means federal aggrandisement and centraliza tion. hut if we go to the North West we find that there it appeals to the idea of selfigovernmont in the tmme of Popular Sovereignly. Itadapts itself to all latitudes, exigencies and circum stances. In one place it favors a Kail Road to the Pacific and opposes it in another place. Thus we find Democracy in California and on the Upper Mississippi in favor of this great and truly national measure, and in Georgia, Louisi ana, and Alabama, it opposes it. Again we find that in the South Democracy favors iillibu:-a terism, while in the North it affects to oppose it. In' short’ it means—or rather it is made to mean—anything and everything which is de sired. And so long as the party agrees as it now does on the Slavery question, and so long as it covers its deformities with this magic name, just so long it will remain party fit for the peculiar use of an aristocracy far more despotic than any now existing in Europe. It now desires in the name of the people to vote money out of the Treasury and to get control of the Army and Navy for filli bustering purposes. It votes Oregon into thp Union because its Senators and Representative are known to favor these schemes, but it votes against the admission of Kansas with ‘a popu lation nearly double that of Oregon, because her Senators and Representative would be Re publican. It rotes against the poor hard work ing settler who desires a free home on our pub lic domain, and leaves him a prey to the aristo cratic speculator. This is Democracy 1 Truly there is much in a name. Oooglas. While entering our protest in our last issue against President-making two years in advance of the proper time for that work, wo stated that a statesman might be very popular with the masses this year and exceedingly unpopular the next. This fact of itself ought to be suffi cient to deter journalists from trying to create public sentiment favorable to some particular statesman. Perhaps no better example of the ebb and flow of the tide of popularity could be selected (ban Stephen A, Douglas. Xetus take a look at him as ho was and is. Those familiar with politics for a few years past will remember that before the repeal of the Missouri Bestriction, no man in either branch of our National Legislature was more; devoted to slavery than he, The Kansas-Nebraska Bill was the culmination of long years of devotion. He saw with a,keenness of vision which all his opponents do not give him credit for, that this bitter pill could be made palatable to the Northern Democracy by being sugar-coated with the political abstraction called Popular Sovereignty. It will be rometabered that during all the trouble in Kansas while be sympathised with the pro-slavery ruffians in their efforts to force slavery into that territory against the known wishes of the people, be never once raised bis voice in favor of a fair and peaceful practical trial of the pet theory, ho had so stren- THE. TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR., _& • * uously advocated. True to bid mastjers os tbe needle to .tbe pole, he spoke of and recognized these brigands' as settlers, and “aovreigns” whose will, whether enforced by tbe ballot or the bowie knife, he was bound to respect, as long as they-were-the-strongest. -When-the people of Kansas. with on unanimity, of senti ment never before seen in any territory of the United States petitioned the Government for protection in the exercise of their rights as American citizens, no man in Congress or out of it got so low down:; in the vocabulary of abuse than he did. He sneered at their mis eries,'and mocked at their calamities. His re port in favor of the Lecoropton Legislature and its vile enactments was a .tissue of sophistry falsehood and calumny. The whole country knew this at the time. His opposition to the English Bill could never blind us to the perfidy which ho exhibited in pettifogging before the country in favor of a Legislature which ho knew was elected by fraud, and in defence of laws which made the giving of a cup of cold water to a bunted slave, a crime worthy of death. These acts alone, though be should clothe him self in the sackcloth and ashes of repentance, can never be forgotten. They cannot bo palli ated or excused. He was wholly at the service of the Oligarchs— body and soul—and all good men despised him. He was greeted on his return to his own home, by the hisses and groans of his neighbors. His tide of popu larity was at its lowest ebb. It could get no lower. Last winter there was a change. He saw that unless a lucky card was played ho should sink into merited obscurity. An election was soon to take place in Illinois which would de cide his fate. With an earnestness of purpose and with force of character possessed by few men in America—qualities which have made him all he is—he went to work to retrieve his failing fortunes. In 185 G he had aided Pierce in sustaining n villainous fraud, but in 1853 he shrunk from the dirty work laid out by Bu chanan, not because he hated the work but be cause he knew the consequent obscurity which was sure to follow it. lie chose to ignore all his antecedents, and he gave battle to those with whom in the Senate he had fought shoulder to shoulder. With the courage which only agood cause can inspire, he rose to die dignity of it statesman. The whole country resounded with his praises, and for a few weeks he was the moat popular man in the United States. Thou sands of Democrats who were disgusted with the treachery of Buchanan clung to, and huilt their hopes upon him. lie went home' to Illi nois and engaged in a political campaign. Every speech he made damaged him with the masses outside of the Egypt of that State. He abused and denounced the friends of Freedom —those who .had lately held up his hands in the Senate and elsewhere—as traitors to the country. He was re-elected to the Senate, and in the heyday of success he made a trium phal tour through the South. Ho returned to Washington and took his place in the Senate where he is to-day the same Douglas he was in 185-1 and 1850, —the same foe to Freedom which he always has been and from the coarse-' ness of bis nature always must be. He is a Senator for sis years, but in acquiring this po sition he lost the confidence of the South, a con fidence which it will take many years of his former devotion to regain. Other statesmen and even the smaller fry of political aspirants, may take a lesson from Stephen A. Douglas which it might he well for them to remember. Mon make or lose their political popularity "by the justice or injustice of their acts. Startling Report from Kansas. —A gentle man who arrived in St. Louis AVednesday even ing brings a startling rumor from Kansas, from which Territory he came direct. He'states that when he loft Shawnee, which was on Saturday, the sth inst., there waj a rumor current that Brown who had been blocked in some log huts, near Nebraska, and was re leased by a force of Free State citizens of Kan sas, had afterwards met the Missouri posse un der the direction of Dr. Woods, Deputy '’Mar shal, whom Brown captured, and immediately hung. lie reached AVcstport on Sunday, where the same rumor preceeded consid erable sensation. ! Mr. Smith, the well-known, hotel keeper in AVestport, was of the opinion that Dr. AV'oods bad not been hung, although be believed he had bean made a prisoner by Brown. It is thought, if the report is true that Brown has hung AVoods, that the citizens of Platte City will wreak their vengeance on Mr. Doy and his son. AVu. 11. Seward. —The Baltimore Patriot pays the following compliment to Mr. Seword. It is new language for a Southern paper: Mr. Seward is, without doubt, one of the most re markable statesmen of the age and of this coun try. Of vast culture and requirements; of shrewd, clear-eyed, broad-visioned and thor oughly philosophic intellect; of temper and temperament singularly self-possessed—digni fied and serene—combining in an extraordin ary degree the shrewdness of the politican with the benevolence of the philanthropist—of spot less life and character—of perfect consistency in his whole course, and heroic fearlessness in utterance of his sentiments, AVilliara H. Sew ard stands to-day on an historic eminence which few other living public men occupy, Mr. Sew ard is one of those rare sons of centuries who leaves no man indifferent about.him, but makes every man either his enemy or devoted friend. Don’t Like Them.— De Bow’s Southern Re view, in noticing Eli Thayer’s scheme of or ganized emigration, says: “We should like Meagre. Sumner and Thay er’s ‘plot’ batter, if they would dispense with common schools, rifles, and the right of suffrage for their laborers,! These things are not useful or necessary to mere common laborers—beget idleness and discontent, and in time generate insurrections, revolution, anarchy and agrarian ism." §35 pays for a Course of Instruction at the Iron City College of Pittsburgh, Pa.

The War Question. » AlLthe late arrivalifrom Europe represent England and franco as actively engngedln warlike preparations. These of the latter pow er are-supposed-to be directed toward Austria, and, with the help of Sardinia, it is easy to see that'Louis' Jfapolebn has such advantages as may make him not averse to -a trial -of French valor bn' the scone' bf Tiis'great Uncle’s most' brilliant campaigns. Tbe-prssent attitude of England seems to be pacific, so far as relates to her participation as a principal in the ap prehended conflict. The steadiness ofber stock qxchungo indicates this, though she follows tbe example of the wild boar in the fable, and sharpens her'tusks'fri “time of peace.. The continentel markets are clearly on a war' foot ing. It ’ must be remembered, however, that the Stock Exchange is the most sensitive index tbat can be imagined. It always tends to an extreme exaggeration of danger beyond any real cause. Thera is a possible motive in the military preparations of England and France, that does not look to southern Europe for a solution.— Neither of these powers has been blind, oral-, —. , together indifferent, to the annexing policy of Death Warrants.— Gov. Packerhas signed the United States. So long as it was confined the death warrants of Christian Jacobi and Da ta bur own shores, or appeared to,be the result T *d S. Evans, the wife at Pitts of a natural spread of population over our burgh, and ordered their executions to ’take immediate borders, they might think it Friday, the 20th day of May next, wise to interfere ; bnt now that it is extending ' 1 1 to foreign shores, and threatens the dismember- j meat of European empire, they may have con- J eluded that the time is approaching for,them to ' say an effective word in the matter. What is a i more common mask in the art of war. than for I States to endeavor to mislead each other by, pretended preparations, and diplomacy in a false direction ? We throw out the suggestion j for what it is worth, that Southern Europe is less likely to witness the shock of war than the , West Indies. The motives to such a master stroke of military policy are by no means weak with either England or France. It" may well be considered by the former that it will be easier to arrest the march of American con quest before than after we shall have seized Cuba. Her own possessions in the immediate vicinity are too important and valuable to be outflanked at one blow by the hostile occupancy of that island. France, it is well known, is said to contemplate serious designs with res-I peot to Central America. The Catholic popu lation of that region, and the unsettled state of Mexico, might readily open an enticing view to the ambition of the French Emperor. He would thereby deserve a cornation at the hands of the Pope, and place himself in a position to obtain concessions for Italy better than by the agency of the sword. The dethronement of Soruxjt'E, though in itself not a fact, probably, of great importance, may open the door to an active intervention by France in the affairs of Hayti. She lost that island by the enmity of England, and she might now regain it by her alliance. Have not other powers an equal right with the United States to plan new conquests in the West Indies ? Did not President Pierce depute Madame Caz nead to negotiate for a permanent footing in Dominica, with a view to ulterior designs, which were only nbt openly avowed, but for which the times proved not ripe ? The war party in our own Congress—for such a party has been growing steadily for a number of years past—is determined to push forward the conquest of Cuba; and so reckless is it in the pursuit that it docs not pause to violate both the spirit and the letter cf the Constitution by virtually vesting in the hands of the President the extreme function of war, which instrument designed to repose in Congress ,alone. "We cannot conceal from our selves the possibility that the two great powers of Europe are tending to a closer alliance for their common protection and that of their neighbor, and that the apparent imminency of war with Austria may servo them an excellent purpose in masking their real designs with res pect to the United States. —Century Homestead Exemption. The Senators from the Free States who voted (in effect) to kill the Homestead bill, by laying it aside to take up an appropriation hill were Messes. Allen of R. I. Fitch of Ind. Bigler of Pa. Gwin of Cal. Lane of Oregon. Of these, Messrs. Allen (already superseded by a Republican,) Fitch (squatter) and Bigler are known to have been decidedly repudiated in the late elections in their several States. Messrs. Gwin and Lane represent States where the Public Lands are freely appropriated to pri vate use without paying therefor to the Treas ury. In Oregon, the early settlers received C4O and 320 acres each merely for being settlers, without paying a farthing therefor. It seems hard, indeed, that the Representatives of two States so favored should be voting against tho settlers of all other new States. But we must take things as we find them. Supposing the vote on this occasion to repre sent fairly the several States represented therein —which is certainly liberal to the enemies of this measure—and the Electoral weight of the two sides compares as follows: For the Sill . Elec. Vote. Apainst it. Elec. Vote, Maine 8 i Rhode Island.. . 2 Massachusetts. . 13 J Indiana 6j New Hampshire. 5 Pennsylvania, .27 Vermont 5 Delaware 3 J Rhode Island. .. 2 Maryland 8 Connecticut. ... 6 A r iirginia 15 New York. ... 35 North Carolina. 10 Ohio 23 South Carolina, . 8 J Indiana. 6j Georgia 10 Ulinois IX Alabama 9 Michigan 6 Mississippi ... 7 AVisconsin .... 5 Florida . .... 3 lowa .’ . ..... 4 Louisiana . ... 6 Tennessee .... 12 Arkansas .... 4 Minnesota 4 Missouri 9 i Texas 2 J Texas 2 J Oregon 1J j Oregon ..... lj Total 1-19 Total ..... 131 New Jeesey, absent or silent. —The accident of Mr. Cameron’s absence and the vote of Missouri’s Senators against Mis souri’s interests and known wishes, alone pre vent on overwhelming preponderance in this vote on the side of Free Homes. The vote of Mr. Fitch against the bill was not such as the true Senators from Indiana would have given— not such as Indiana ■ herself can approve. A glance at the tabic above will suffice to show that the popular preponderance in favor of the Free Homestead principle is overwhelming,— And now we beg the Democratic politicians to ponder well this question—Can you afford to throw this question over into the next Presi dential Election ? You must see that the Free Home principle is destined to prevail—then why,not give way now, and have the matter settled and out of the way ?—-V. I'.
