- Greeley in Kansas.
• [We make the following extracts from the
great speech delivered by Horace Greeley at the
first Mara Convention of the Republican Party
in Kansas, Osawatomie, May 18, 1859.]
“Land foe the Landless.”
The other plank of this Democratic Platform
which I remember and approve, affirms the
equity and policy of free grants of Public
Lands to Actual Settlers, and trusts that the
President will further postpone the public sale
of the Lands in Kansas. But these platform
builders were careful) to conceal the truth that
the only formidable obstacle to the Land Sys
tem they: thus approve, is just that National
Democracy which they were convened to or
ganise and uphold in Kansas—that if this
Democracy had only got out of the way, wo
should have carried the Homestead bill last
Winter, and delivered the settlers of Kansas
forever' from the fear and danger of being
thrown by a public sjle oflfheit lands into the
ravenous jaws of Speculation. You have to
petition Buchanan Jot to sell your lands from
under you this Summer, simply teause Na
tional Democracy resisted and defeated the
Free-Land principle, in every shape in which
it was presented last Winter and would have
defeated it in any shape. Mr. Crow’s Home
stead bill went triumphantly through the House,
but was barely beaten by desperate engineering
and wily tactics in the Senate, simply because
it was deemed less damaging to the party to
beat it there than to throw on our Democratic
President the responsibility of crushing it by
his veto. Beaten somewhere it was doomed to
be, because Slavery had decreed the sacrifice,
and National Democracy could not but say
Amen. And beaten it must and will continue
to be—if no longer in the House, then in the
Senate—if no longer in the Senate, then at last
in the White House—so long as National Dem
ocracy holds the reins of the car of State, and
Slavery sits witlTin directing its course.
Free Lands against Slavery.
Fur the Slave Power has discovered—what
some of us had perceived before it—that the
free allotment of the Public Lands in quarter
sections to Actual Settlers, is a most effective
harrier and impediment to the further spread
of the “peculiar institution”—that it cannot
grasp Territories and organize States where the
Free Land principle has full play. I heartily
approve the Jeffersonian or Wilmot Restriction
of Slavery—l desire that Congress should say
authoritatively, as Congress did say in the purer
days of this Republic, that; “there shall be no
“ Slavery nor involuntary servitude except for
“ crime whereof the enslaved shall have been
“ personally proved guilty” in the Federal Ter
ritories. But if I could have but one of the
two measures—either a direct Congressional
inhibition of Slavery in the Territories, or Free
Homesteads and Land Limitation—l should
greatly prefer the latter, for I consider it the
more effective and enduring barrier to the
spread of Slavery. And it is because the Slave
ry Propagandists have at length discerned this,
that we find those among them who once ad
vocated the Free Land principle now steadily
resisting it. Mr. Albert G. Brown, for example,
the Senator from Mississippi, who formerly
made eloquent and conclusive speeches in favor
of Free Homesteads, now votes- persistently
against them. The speeches came hot from the
heart of the man; the votes are impelled by
the brain of the Pro-Slavery politician. And
just so long as Slavery—or, if you prefer the
more ambitious and ambiguous terra, National
Democracy—shall control the Federal Govern
ment, we shall have no Land Reform; and
your Kansas Democrats of whatever‘stripe
must know this as well as I do. What a mock
ery and a fraud, then, in them to organize for
the support of National Democracy, and at the
same time resolve that they approve the princi
ple of Free Homes.
The Republican party, on the contrary, stands
before you in a consistent and commanding at
titude. It is a unit on the Land question—
right on principle, with no divided affection or
distracting interest—and right on the record.
It proclaimed its devotion to Free Homes in its
infancy, and will not abjure it in its manhood.
Its National triumph—now, I trust, near at
hand—will deliver the pioneers forever from
the dread of being ejected from their improve
ments by the land monopolist, and from the de
grading necessity of sending agents to Wash
ington to beg the President not to drive them
from the humble homes created by their own
sweat and toil. Thenceforth, the settlers on
western prairies may serve ejectments on occu
pants of the White House at Washington ; but
he will serve none of them. He will be a ten
ant of their premises, and not they an intruder
on his estate. The difference is one which I
should think the settlers of Kansas trained to
realize and appreciate.
The Republican Partv,
T commend the Republican party of the
Union, then, to your sympathy and coopera
tion, because its principles are identified with
your interests, as its past efforts have closely
paralleled your struggles. It is emphatically
and humanely right on all the great living is
sues of the day. X recommend It, because its
platform and its generous instincts alike com
mit ifc to the maintenance of the rights of the
Adopted citizen as well as those of the Native
born, and to a perpetual resistance to .all pro
scription based on caste, or creed, or place of
birth. I commend it because its instincts and
aims are essentially and nobly conservative—
conservative of Libertyratherthan of Slavery—■
of Good rather than of Evil—-of the Rights of
the Many rather than the Privileges of the Few.
I commend it as the only great party likely, if
in power, to commence and press on that grand
enterprise, the Pacific Railroad—a measure
which, while beneficent, to every section, would
prove especially a new dayspring of prosperity
to the vast and teeming West, that cradled Her
cules destined to eclipse the wildest anticipa
tions of its coming greatness and power. I
commend it because its faith and works respect
ing the great disturbing element in our politics,
the Slavery question, is that of the Revolution
ary Fathers—the only faith which blends re
spect for subsisting rights with steady and
effective resistance to unbearable wrongs, I
commend it especially to lyou, because in that
party Free Kansas has ever found an unflinch
ing champion and a sympathizing friend.

Republican State nominations.
AUDITOR GENERAL;
THOMAS E. 'COCHRAN,
YORK COCNTV;
SURVEYOR GENERAL:
GEN. WILLIAM H. KEIM,
BERKS COONTr.
THE CONVENTION.
We give in another part of this paper a
synopsis of the proceedings, and also the Reso
lutions of the Republican State Convention
which met at Harrisburg on the Bth of this
month. We are assured that the greatest har
mony prevailed throughout, and each delegate
seemed to be actuated with a desire to do that
which would be best for the honor and good of
the State.
Thou as E. Cochran, the gentleman put in
nomination for the office of Auditor General is
an honest, capable, and worthy mam. Ho rep
resented the county of York for thrive years in
the State Senate, and did honor to himself and
bis constituents.
Gen. Wji. H. Keix, is the candidate for Sur
veyor General. Mr. Keim was elected last
year to fill the vacancy occasioned by the ap
pointment of John Glancy Jones as Minister to
Austria. The appointment was given to Jehu
as a kind of reward from “J. B." for having
been so badly beaten by Mr. Shultz in “Old
Berks,” the very stronghold of Pennsylvania
Democracy; and it is said that no man did
more to secure Jehu's defeat than Mr. Keim.
Although we are well enough satisfied with
this nomination, we would have been mnch
better satisfied to have seen Mr. John S. Mann
nominated, as we think the honor was due to
the “Northern Tier.”
The Resolutions adopted by the Convention
meet our earnest and hearty approval. As we
predicted some weeks ago, the American ele
mentrin the Convention was exceedingly limited
both In number and influence. The settled
purpose, the fixed desire, the ardent wish of
the masses who do the voting, to rebuke in the
strongest manner possible the acts of Buchanan
and the measures of national policy which he
has identified with his administration, seemed,
for the time being, to over-ride and over-rule
all party considerations, and served to make
both parties of the opposition one in purpose if
not in sentiment. We have, therefore, no fault
to find because conciliatory measures were
adopted. Republicanism stands out as boldly
in the resolutions as in 1856. It will he seen
that the Convention resolved “that it disap
proves of Executive intervention to prostrate
the will of the people as a dangerous element;
that it protests against the sectional pro-slavery
policy of the Administration ; denouncing the
attempts to enact a Congressional Slave Code
for the Territories; affirming hostility to the
extension of Slavery; condemning the attempts
to revive the slave trade, and censoring the Ad
ministration of “J. B.” for conniving at its
practical reopening; favoring a protective tar
iff and considering that the professions of the
President in favor of protection were untrust
worthy ; condemning the reckless and profli
gate extravagance of the National Administra
tion' j'-deploring the defeat of the Homestead
Bill of the able representative of this
district in Congress; advising legislation to
prevent frauds upon the naturalization laws so
as to preserve the purity of the ballot box;
approving of the enactment of laws to prevent
the introduction of foreign criminals; inviting
•all parties to join in the restoration of the Gov
ernment to its original purity ; approving of the
course of Simon Cameron and our Members of
Congress who supported the Homestead Bill,
and denouncing the course of the Administra
tion in reference to Kansas.” These resolu
tions, as will he readily seen, are in fact, hut
the reaffirmation of-the principles of the Phila
delphia Platform. We should like to have seen
a resolution pledging the Republican or People’s
Party as it is called in this State, in favor of
Postal Reform; another denouncing the recent
attempt of the fire-eaters backed by “J. 8.,”
to acquire Cuba; another against the iniquitous
Dred Scott decision. What we mean by this,
is, that instead of merely touching upon these
subjects incidentally, the Convention should
have embodied these sentiments in distinct and
separate resolutions. Nevertheless we feel to
congratulate all earnest Republicans upon the
measures and men submitted by this Conven
tion for their consideration and votes; and we
doubt not that Tioga County will show herself,
as heretofore, the banner county of the State
on the side of Free Soil and Free Speech.
There is another fact in connection with this
Convention upon which we desire to congratu
late our readers. Unlike the two Democratic
Conventions which met during the Spring, this
Convention was not composed entirely of poli
ticians. No doubt there were many there, but
the great majority of the delegates were fresh
from the people, and were, therefore, well ac
quainted with the wishes of their constituents.
This is as it should be. Conventions have but
little binding force upon thinking men, if in
stead of reflecting the popular sentiment, they
are known to reflect only the views of a set of
politicians.
In accordance with the usual custom, we
place the ticket at the head of our columns. Un
like their Sham-democratic opponents Wright
and Rowe, Messrs. Cochran and Keun are not
bonnd to any party by the “cohesive power of
public plunder,” neither have they spent their
lives in the pursuit of office. We ask for them
a united and solid support.
THE TIOGA CQUNTY AGITATOR.

The President designated LEMUEL TODO
as Chairman of the Committee.
The delegates then proceeded to ballot and
on the eighth ballot Thomas E. Cochran was
nominated for Auditor General. Gen. Wm. 11.
Keim was nominated for Surveyor General on
the first ballot. Both nominations were made
unanimous. The following are the
Resolutions,
Resolved, Ist. Tfhat Executive intervention to
prostrate the will of the people, Constitution
ally expressed, either in the States or Territo
ries, is a dangerous clement of Federal power,
and that its exercise by the present Chief Mag
istrate of the Republic, as well in elections as
upon the Representatives of the people, meets
our decided disapprobation.
2. That we protest against the sectional and
pro slavery policy of the National Administra
tion as at war with the rights of the people
and subversive of the principles of out govern
ment.
3. That we denounce and will unitedly op
pose all attempts to enact a Congressional Slave
Code for the Territories, believing the same to
be utterly at war with the true purposes of our
government, and repugnant to the moral sense
of the nation; and that we re-nffirm our con
tinued hostility to the extension of Slavery over
the Territories of the Union.
4. That we regard all suggestions and propo
siliipns of every kind, by whomsoever made, for
a revival of the African slave trade, as shock
ing to the moral sentiments of the enlightened
portion of mankind; that any action on the
part of the government or people conniving at
or legalizing that horrid and inhuman traffic,
would justly subject the government and citi
zens of the United Staten to the reproach and
execration of all civilized and Christian people,
and that th'e inaction of the National Adminis
tration in bringing the slave traders to justice,
ahd its course in sending such os have been ar
rested to trial in places where acquittal was
certain, subject it fairly to the charge of con
niving at the practical re-opening of that traffic.
5. That we hold the encouragement and pro
tection of home production and American in
dustry to be one of the first duties of our gov
ernment; and the failure to obtain such en
couragement and protection from the last Con
gress, notwithstanding the professions of the
President, convince us that the laboring masses
of the free States will look in vain for a tariff
for the protection of the labor while the admin
istration of the government is in the hands of
the party now in power; and that we believe
the advalorem system wholly inadequate to the
protection we demand, and in lieu of it we are
in favor of specific duties upon, iron, coa), salt
and all such other products wholly the growth
and manufacture of the United States.
6. That the reckless and profligate extrava
gance of the National Administration, causing
a necessity for continued loans without any
means provided for their payment, give evi
dence of a want of that ability and integrity
which should characterize the Government of a
Free people, and unless checked will lead to a
dishonor of the National credit.
7. That the passage of a just Homestead bill,
giving one hundred and sixty - acres of land to
every citizen who will settle upon and improve
the same, would be a measure fair in principle,
sound in policy, and productive of great good
to the people of the ration. And that we re
gard the defeat of Mr. Grow’s bill in the Sen
ate of the United States, by the party in power,
as a direct blow- at the laboring classes of the
country, and as unworthy of the liberality of
a great government. And that kindred to this
was the defeat, by the same party, of the pre
emption bill which gave preference to actual
settlers over land speculators.
8. That the parity and safety of the Ballot
Box mast be preserved, and that all frauds upon
the Naturalization laws, which have been so
much resorted to, to promote the success of the
party we oppose, ought to be concentrated by
wholesome and proper legislation.
9. That we approve of the enactment of pro
per laws to protect us from the introduction of
foreign crimiuals in our midst, by returning
them at once to the places where they have been
shipped to our shores,
10. That we cordially invite all' men of all
parties to Join with us, in earnest endeavors to
restore the Government to its original purity.
and to preserve the proud heritage of American
transmitted to us by our Fathers,
complete and unimpaired, to those who may
come after os.
.11> That this Convention do most heartily
approve of and endorse the course pursued by
our able and distinguished Senator, the Hon.
Simon. Cameron, and -that -of our -Representa
tives in the popular branch of Congress who
have zealously supported the protective policy,
the homestead bill, the just rights of actual
settlers, and have steadfastly opposed the ty
ranical pollcy of the National Administration
in their attempts to force upon the people of
Kansas a fraudulent slavery constitution in op
position to the known and oft expressed senti
ments of the Freemen of the Territory.
On motion the Convention adjourned sine die
with three cheers for the ticket.
For {ho Agitator.^
The Corning and Blotahnrg Railroad and
the Lumber Interest.
To the Editor of the Agitator; As you have
always been on the side of right and justice
where the interest of our county was at stake,
allow me the medium of your paper to call the
attention of whom it may concern to the very
serious grievances under which part of our
community are laboring, and which grievances
are increasing every year.
The Corning and Blossburg Rail Road Co.
charge $1,30 per m. feet of lumber, and 25 cts
per u. for shingles, for a distance of 20 miles.
These rates are higher than on any other road
I know of; and we can no longer'compete with
other lumbermen, although their lumber comes
from more remote sections of the country ; and
thousands of logs are run every year from
Crooked Creek to the mills between Lawrcnce
ville and Corning to avoid paying an exhorbi
tant freight for Rail Road transportation, not
to mention thousands of feet which would not
be rafted if they could be delivered at Corning
for 25 cents less per u.
Now that hemlock begins to pay a slumpage,
a new stimulus would be given to the lumber in
terest if a reduction of 30 cts per it. feet was
allowed on all kinds of lumber and timber, and
in the same proportion on shingles and lath, or
pickets. I know of mills which do not make
more than one-quarter of the shingles they used
to make. A reduction on the freight .would
soon bring them to the old standard. The com
petition is such that they have to look to the
smallest savings. The Painted Post, Mills fc|r
example can afford to pay more for the timber
and undersell us, because they have no exorbi
tant Rail Road freights to contend against.
It is certainly not to the interest of the Rail
Road Company to force the timber down the
river. A little more liberality on their part
would cause millions of feet more to be made
up here; and Instead of being the losers by the
reduction so generally demanded, they would
be the gainers. The Directors of the Company
can easily he enlightened on this subject if they
will take the trouble to investigate the same.—
I trust they will no longer stand in their own
light, but grant the just claims of lumber deal
ers. A Lumberman.
Later from Europe.
NO VERY IMPORTANT NEWS.
The news from the seat of war is unimportant.
An official Sardinian bulletin, says that the
Sardinians passed the Scsia in the face of the
Austrians who were fortified at Palastro, after
a severe conffiot, and carrid the place, making
many prisoners. The Sardinians were under
the immediate command of King Victor Eman
uel. 1
Garibaldi was making some bold movements
in Lombardy. On the 27th, after a furious
fight of three hours, he entered Como. The
Austrians retreated to Camerlalla, where the
combat was renewed, and the Austrians again
retreated toward Milan. All the steamers on
the Lake were in the bands of the patriots.
It was reported via Born, that on the 29th
Garibaldi was defeated by a superior force, and
withdrew into the Canton of Tessin, but this
lacks confirmation, and Turin dispatches give
the impression that he was making further
progress.
The contents of the French bulletins are un
important.
The Emperor was about to move his head
quarters from Alessandria, and it was reported
he would go to Cosaie.
The Austrians, in considerable force, had
occupied Bobbio.
It was reported in Parma that as soon as the
French enter Milan England and Prussia will
make most strenuous efforts to end the war.
A fight had occurred at Florence between
some English war sailors and some Americans,
on account of the latter wearing tri-color rosettes,
but no details had been received.
The Emperor of Austria quitted Vienna on
the 29th, and arrivciat Verona on the 31st May,
accompanied by his brother, the Archduke
Charles, General Hess, and others.
■ Our readers will remember that John
Underwood, a magistrate of Prince William
County, Virginia, was indicted some months
ago for venturing to speak too freely on the
subject of Slavery. He was tried by the County
Court, and fined $250. An appeal was taken
to the Circuit Court, and Judge Tyler has, as
we learn from Mr. Underwood’s letter to a
friend in this city, reversed the decision of the
County Court. Some of his neighbors at the
late election Insisted upon voting for him for
the Legislature, and the following is the vote
in the town of Occoquon, of which he is a na
tive, and where he has always resided:
For Governor, For House of Delegates.
Letcher, Dem. - - - 48 Underwood, Rep. - 56
Goggin, Opp. - - - 70 Lynn, Dem. - - - - 42
Pretty good fora beginning in Occoquon, the
first town below Mount Vernon, on the Poto
mac.—New York Tribune.
3. R. Stevens, a Virginia Democratic politi
cian, has consented to ran for office on the fol
lowing condition : “I wish it distinctly under
stood, however, that I mast be elected by spon
taneous combustion, as I cannot condescend to
electioneer. If any of the sovereigns wish to
shake my hand, they can do so by calling at
Conrad’s store; and their children will be kissed,
when presented to me with clean faces.”
It is said that after the first Astor House meet
ing its object was the subject of conversation
among a few prominent politicians, John Van
Buren being of the number. One of the party
remarked that be thought the object was to
compel a compromise, or make a trade with
the Opposition. The Prince replied; “The day
of compromises is past; but we are still a com
mercial people.”
Senator Seward never made a wiser or truer
remark, than when he; said substantial that
the war between Fredom and Slavery is one
of interest which will continue until one or the
other of the antagonists falls in the encounter.
He contended that slave labor must ultimately
cease at the South, or the manufactories of the
North become stilled in inaction.’ Freedom and
Slavery are not only hostile to each other in
principle, but in every relation in which they
fall together. Free labor and slave labor can
not long exist as neighbors. All experience
shows that the labor of bondage gives way and
disappears before the march of voluntary and
properly rewarded toil. In the free states
where involuntary servitude at one time existed,
the war between free and slave labor was unre
lenting until freedom triumphed, and slavery
was banished from .the soil.
New Counterfeit. —A counterfeit $5 bill on
the Commercial Bank, Erie, Pa., is in circula
tion. It is well executed, and calculated to
deceive. The Vignette in the center represents
a large steamer, and at the ends are portraits
of Washington'and Clay. Look out for them.
