GENERAL NEWS ITEMS . Tho firemen of. Binghampton, N. Y., have a remarkable why of serenading each other. One of them got married a short time since, and his companions honored the event by “playing” into his bed-chamber, and nearly drowning him and his bride. Mens. Blondin has decided to cross the Genesee River, at Rochester, early in August, and on a new rope, procured expressly for the purpose. He has consented to walk the rope at Niagara again, for the last time, on the 3d of August. All the news from the west with refer ence to the crops is good news. The farmers of 'Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Cana da, and Western New-York, are in high spirits. Prices may be low for a twelve month, but there will be no famine. -A cotemporary affirms that a memorial requesting the Hon. D. E. Sickles to resign his seat in Congress has received 1,400 signatures, and that in the Eighth Ward a movement is on foot among his lata personal sympathizers to hold a public meeting at which to make the request openly. The Republican State Convention of Min nesota, which met last week, nominated Alex ander Ramsey for Governor; Ignatius Donnelly for Lieutenant Governor; J. H. Baker for Sec retary of State; and Charles Schoeffer for Treasurer. Also, Cyrus Aldrich and William Window for members of the nest Congress. The Philadelphia Press thinks that the Administration would not have withdrawn the national protection from naturalized citizens if it had not owed its election to them, as the President could not, consistently with his uni form practice, die in peace until he had betrayed every friend that -upported him. The Providence Journal* speaking of the practice of shooting birds on cherry trees re marks as follows ;—“Undoubtedly the cherries suffer somewhat from the birds ; but drive off all the birds, and the next year every cherry will have a worm in it. Those who labor under the impression that God made a mistake when he created birds, are altogether wrong.” The next Electoral College, chosen in November, 1800, to meet In February 1861, will • —if Kansas should be admitted at the ap proaching session of Congress—-consist of 306 votes, 164 of which will be necessary for a choice for President. The non-sluveholding States will have 186 electors, and the slavehold ing States 120. The Leeds Mercury says: “Gov. Seward is now on a tour of observation through our manufacturing districts, the' development of which, since his visit to this country a quarter of a century ago, strikes him, we believe, as most remarkable. Mr. Seward on Friday, July 8, went through the Town Hall, and two of the most important manufacturing establishments' of Leeds.” ln Scio, on Wednesday last, during the severe storm occurring a little after noon of that . day, Fletcher Middaugb, son of Elijah Middaugb of Middaugb Hill, Scio township, a young; man about nineteen years of age, was instantly killed by lightning. He was in a barn, and- with pitchfork in hand, was in the act of throwing down some hay to his horses, when the bolt came crushing through the roof, killing him and also a valuable span of horses. Other men and horses were in ( the barn at the time, hue escaped uninjured.— Wellsville Free Press, lt is stated that the President has ap pointed lion. James L. Gillis, of Elk county, Pennsylvania, Agent for the Pawnee Indians. This gentleman is one of the recreant sons of the old Keystone State who was repudiated by the people for sustaining the Lecompton ini , quity. Like most of the others who betrayed '-the cause of Freedom and became the supple __ tools of a corrupt Administration, he has re ceived his reward—the “thrift that follows fawning.” If the Government and the Paw ■ nee Indians do not suffer, we are mistaken in * the man. Barnum made the 4th of July speech at Bridgeport, in the course of which ho said: “The ‘American Eagle* is a considerable of , a bird—may she fly forever—but if every vag abond who can stuff ballot boxes and swindle his way into office is allowed to pluck a feather; if the Bird of Liberty is to be despoiled un principled politicians; if she is to extend her wings over the slave trade and piracy ; if she is to protect repudiation and be made responsi ble for all the crimes which Congressional, Leg islative and Municipal bodies can commit, she will soon be as naked as a weMressed turkey.” . -We are requested-1<» publish the celebra ted Cass-Le Clerc letter, through which the Na tional Administration declares naturalized citi zens be in the game condition as fugitive slaves: of State, 1 Washington, May 17, 1859. j To Mr. LeClerc, Memphis, Tenn.

He married a a daughter of Eugene Beauharnais succeeded to his father’s throne in 1844, and was fifty-eight years of age. His administration has been marked by a fair degree of liberality and reform. He will be succeeded by his son, who married a Dutch Princess a few years ago, and who will take the title of Charles XV.

The Republican electors in tbo several election dis tricts of Tioga County, are requested to meet at the usual places for holding elections on SATURDAY tho 20th day of August next, to elect two delegates from each district to meet in Convention at TIOGA VIL LAGE on FRIDAY the 26th day of August 1859, to select candidates for tbo following enumerated offices One person for District Attorney. One person for Treasurer. One person for Commissioner. 1 One person for Auditor. Three persons to meet in Conference at Coudersport, Potter County, with an equal number selected by the Republicans of Warren, McKean and Potter Counties respectively, for the purpose of nominating one person to represent this Senatorial District in the State Leg islature. Two persons to meet in Conference at Wcllsboro, with nn equal number selected by the Republicans of Potter County for the purpose of nominating two per sons to represent this Representative District in the Legislature next Winter. The Committees of Vigilance in the respective elec tion districts as published some weeks ago in the Ag itator. are urged to act promptly and vigorously; to provide so that due notice of the primary, meetings for the election of delegates may be given, in order that every district may bo represented in tbe Conven tion. Such of tbe members of the Committees as can not conveniently serve promptly, are requested to ap point a substitute. 0. B. Lowell, In behalf of the Co. Jiejt. Com. Action! Just now the Republicans of Tioga County are in a state of political apathy amounting almost to indifference. It is the dead calm which invariably precedes the storm; but as the storm is inevitable, would it not be wise for us to wake up and prepare for it ? The frequent successes of our opponents may not always be accounted for by the triumph of principles, these being but poorly understood by those who vote for them ; but it is a fact worthy the attention of Republicans, that the strength our opponents lose in the avowal and advocacy of corrupt measures, is sometimes more than made good by their unceasing party drill, and their untiring vigilance. IVc can learn lessons of success from our enemies if we will, not by trammeling men’s minds with the slavery of opinion, not by appealing to a sense less and pharasaical loyalty to party, but by earnest appeals to men’s minds and hearts, to their love of country and to free institutions. Men will thus bo induced to think—think for themselves as men unbound by the ties of party —think for themselves .as free citizens of a great and glorious country which they would fain make greater and more glorious still—and we are greatly mistaken indeed, if such thought does not beget action right direction. Action at the present pime is necessary. IVe know that Republicans * generally believe that the election of our ticket in this State this Fall is a foregone conclusion—a mere matter of course. IVe believe so / too ; but it can he made more than a victory. ought to bo made a triumph, and a memorable one in the history of tbe State. At q-Vitne when the Slave Dem ocracy of Pennsylvania and of the whole coun try are split divided among themselves by internal quarrels; at a time when each sep arate faction/is bent upon humbling the other in the dust of popular repudiation and defeat; at a tima when such Democratic catch words as “disunionists,” “traitors,” “disorganizers,” “abolitionists,” have lost their force and sig nificance upon the minds of the ignorant by being used by the Democratic factions not against Republicans hut against themselves at such a time it would become all earnest wishers of the good of the country to be dilli gent in their labors in behalf of Republican principles and measures. They should be in dustrious in directing the plain unvarnished facts of the doings of the present wicked and unscrupulous Administration into the healthful channel of independent thought. They should take care to. show the facts as they actually exist by placing the record of them along side of such demagogical representations as those lately set forth in the edict or manifesto of Robert Tyler, an F. F. V. who has been called to the “faithful” of this State in their duties to “the party;” and they should act from a sense of duty to themslves as men, as well as from a sense of duty to the common wealth as citizens, and in no case should they act as partizans who desire only to secure the success of the party as such, without reference to the principles and measures of which the party, ia but an embodiment. ; We ask our friends, therefore, to go to work. Supineness and indifference may bring disaster if not defeat. The victory of 1859, if it be a triumphant victory, will place Pennsylvania in the front ranks for 1860. Remember that noth ing but vigilance and energy on the part of Re publicans, will counteract the unwearied and untiring exertions of the pro-slavery Democ racy. Remember too that the more work we do this Fall to insure success, the less will be necessary when we come to fight over again the battle of 1850 next year. So far as we can foresee, the issues will be the same; Slavery against free labor, economy in the administra tion of the Government against shameless profli gacy, and “homes for the homeless against niggers for the niggerless.” These will be the main issues, and in view of the efforts now be ing made to separate and divide the opponents of misrule and corruption by appeals to partisan pride, let us counteract these efforts by laboring more and more manfully for the Bight. By working now , we may not only achieve a nu merical victory, but an absolute triumph which will awaken new courage in the hearts of the people everywhere, THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. The Great Question South. | New proofs are every day accumulating of! the hold which the question of reviving the Af rican slave-trade has taken (n the Southern mind. The' pending gubefuatorlal contest in Texas turns entirely on that-I question. Gen. Houston has presented himself as a candidate for Governor against the regular Democratio nominee, exclusively on the ground' of opposi tion to the revival of the African trade. Though from motives of policy not inserted in terms into the Texas Democratic platform, the revival of the African slave-trade is well understood to have the tacit support of the regular leaders of the party. In this emergency the citizens of Texas opposed to that policy have appealed to Gen,-Houston to give them jthe advantage of his name and leadership. Educated in the old Virginia school, of which ’Jfhomas Jefferson was the apostle, and taught in his youth to re gard Slavery as an evil, Gen. Houston has not yet been converted to the new ideas which of late have made such rapid progress at the South. Hence he has been an object bf bitter and per severing hostility on the part of the ultra par tisans of Slavery, by whose means he has been ousted from the Senate. His triumph at the pending gubernatorial election might probably lead to his return to that body. Such a tri umph, however, appears to be very problemati cal, though no doubt, in addition to the support of those opposed to the revival of the African slave-trade, Gen. Houston may receive a con siderable number of votes on the strength of bis personal popularity. On the other hand, the defeat of Gen. Houston would undoubtedly be claimed by the partisans of reviving the Af rican slave-trade as a popular sanction of that policy. We observe, too, in Georgia, indications of the importance which this question is assuming. A Convention of those opposed to the present National Administration was held at Macon on the 20th of July. At this C invention a reso lution was offered declining tc express any opin ion, one way or the other, a* to the policy of reviving the African shove-trade, yet urging the repeal of the Federal laws igainst it, on the ground that the Constitution grants no such power to Congress, and that tie subject belongs properly to the States. This resolution was met by another declaring tiiat “it is inexpe “ dient, unwise, and contra *y to the settled “ policy of the United States to repeal the laws “prohibiting the African slave-trade.” The Convention, however, disposed of the matter by laying both resolutions o i the table, which must be taken as an indication of a pretty equal division of opinion. While the question of tl« cessorship to Mr. Buchanan is a strong disposition on Southern political leaders to in the background. Let, ho successor be elected, and we come at once the leading q tional politics. —Keic York r i Somewhat Konnc A certain editor speaking passed upon the subject of S Church existing only in the “There is but one way that evil—that is, by the way o; and though that way seems about when you aim at the di yet the Lord of the whole open,” &c. Is it true that an anti-sla'jery Church in the | free States can reach the evil of slavery only | in one way, and that; by wayJpf the mercy seat ? May they not do something by their “valiant words,” uttered by their presses and in their pulpits, to create in the free States such a thorough, universal and intense anti-slavery sentiment as shall give an effectual blow to the dominion of slavery ? Xot a blow by force and by arms, but by knocking from the peculiar in stitution every Northern prop. Of these it has been, and still is, to a considerable degree, leaning. Knock them awaj, and it will soon fall of its own weight. Pr)-s!avery men, par ties, and churches, in the frie States, are fear fully responsible. They have strengthened the hands and applied relieving!- plasters to the con sciences of Southern oppressors. They and the devil are co-partners in a miserable work.— They all need to be converted from the error of their ways —Northern pro-slavery men, par ties and churches, and Southern oppressors— and the devil too, if possibly. Again : Is it true that by way of the mercy seat is a “round-about” waj to reach the evil— slavery? It may indeed seem so, but in fact it is not. It is, of all others, the most effectual. It has availed more than orce in the history of our world. It will avail igain, and the op pressed millions of these United States shall go free. Heaven hasten the day '.—Pittsburg Chris tian Advocate. A Story that Be: We are indebted to Mr. 3 from a whaling voyage, for ing narrative. Jonah may diminished head On the home trip of one of our New York and Liverpool packets, she icing crowded with emigrants, that awful scourge, the ship fever, broke out. The carpenter of the vessel, one of nature’s noblemen, and paving on board his little son, a lad of twelve summers, was one of the first victims. His shipmates sadly enclosed the body in a hammock, an i having read over Kim the burial service, and attached to his feet a grindstone, for the purpose of sinking it, committed it to the embrace of old ocean. The poor boy, filled with grief at the loss of his natural protector sprang overboard, and before he could be rescued he was beyond the reach of human aid. On the day following Ihe hurial, a large shark was noticed in the w ike of the ship, and as it was almost calm, the sailors a,sked per mission to catch it, which was readily granted by the captain. Having procured a hook and attached a chain and baite lit with pork, they cast it overboard, and seen had the excited pleasure of hooking the monster, and with the aid of the windlass, they h mled the writhing mass on board. As it lay on the deck in its death struggles, the sailor i beard a singular rumbling noise that seem id to proceed from within the dying captive. Taking their ship axe, they soon cut their wav into the now dead fish, and to their great_ surprise found that it bad swallowed the carpet ter, grindstone and boy, and the former, who had swooned, had rigged up the grindstone, aad with the asssist ance of the boy to turn it, “was grinding his jaoknife to cut his way out.” The Bridgport Standard says that Mrs. Vm. B. Hill, of that place, wio recently offered $lOO for the. return of her missing husband, has received a letter from aim postmarked at Thompsonvillc, advising he ’ to save her money. Rather cool! FROMJT HE JP E O PLE.. -w jp or th e .Agitator.. [SUSDA.V SCHOOL CELEBRATION IN LAWRENCEVILLE.] A Leaf bythe Wayside. For many weeks the eyes of the children had grown brighter and opened wider ns our Sab bath School celebration became an “oft repeated tale’' by them. • At last the long looked for morning came. Little innocent faces scanned the sky to see if “the big rain drops” were there. But with the sunrise fled the dark clouds. There never beamed a fairer day upon God’s beautiful earth. The Lawrenceville Sabbath Schools, with three schools of adjoining places, met at the Methodist chutoh at half-past nine o’clock A.l M., where they formed themselves into a pro cession. Each class bearing a banner with ap propriate scriptural mottoes, marched to the sound of music, to the grove selected for the celebration. The Tioga Choir then sang a hymn. A fervent prayer was offered by the Rev. L. Nichols; then followed the address by the Rev. John Raines of Corning. Beautiful and ap propriate were bis remarks. Not only were young hearts made better and wiser by them, but older ones were made to soar to that “bet ter land” where the good will be welcomed. After the feast of tho soul came the feast of the body. All marched to dinner to the sound of music. After dinner a short time was given to do whatever you liked. The conversation of the elder folks mingled with the silvery voices of childhood, and “all went merry as a marriage bell." Afterward remarks were made by the Super intendents of the different schools. It was pleasant to see these men so earnestly, so wil lingly obeying the commands of our Saviour— “ Feed my lambs.” Next in order came a few excellent remarks by the Kev. E. D. Wells. Then the choir sang. As those strains floated over the hills, I thought of the’songs that we shall one day sing, with the blessed in those mansions of our Father. The Secretary of the M. E. Sunday. School of LawrcncevUle read the report. The number of verses recited from Jan. Ist 1858 to' July 3d, was 60058. The number of scholars in attend ance 150. , After the report the Choir sang again. A prayer was made, the benediction given, and the several schools marched to the church in the same order as they left it in ihe morning.— i After they arrived at the church, the children returned their thanks to the Speaker, Choir, Marshals and other officers. At half past three o'clock, the Fire Company came out in uniform. The people, and children were much gratified at their appearance. Many hearts throbbed more quickly, in kind appreci ation as they remembered their untiring efforts to save tho property of their neighbors on the night of a terrible fire. Almost at the close of day, as I watched the departure of little pattering feet, I asked my self, how many of these little boys and girls, will in coming years be found walking in in the “straight and narrow way that leads to Heaven?” How many of those silvery voices which now fall upon tho ear, like angel’s voices, will ring out in tones of glad worship, for Him “who gave his only son to die for us ?” In years to come, how many of those little bands will be ever ready to do good to his neighbor, eschew ing the forbidden practice of living for himself. But to be ever ready to give a cup of cold water to whomsoever asketh it; for angels often come in disguise ? How many of those bright eyes, perchance dimmed by age, and the sorrows of life, will close in death with gladness, as their souls, “for the good deeds done in the body” soar upward to home—heaven ? Presidential suc is pending, there the part of many ceep this question vever, a Southern should see it be ucstion in our na ribune. -About. of the resolutions > avery by a certain free States, says; ;hcy can reach the 1 the mercy seat; r somewhat rmnuh ominion of slavery, jarth will keep it For tho Agitator. The Masses should do their own Thinking*. Friend Young ; The permission of yourself and the readers of the Agitator, as the lawyers say, “first had and obtained,” I propose to write a series of articles upon the leading political questions now at the bar of public opinion in • this county. In a short time we will be in the midstof another exciting presidential campaign. But a few months will elapse, before this wholn country from the groat lakes to the Gulf of Mexico—from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will be agitated by another mighty political conflict. All classes of men, all shades of politicians will be found rallying around one or 1 the other o'f the great political organizations. Put few will oc cupy neutral ground. Action, a characteristic which distinguishes the American from all others, will be the motto of nine-tenths of the voters of these United States. And viewing the matter from this stand point—believing that in a free representative government where all power emanates from the people,- a correct knowledge of the true theory of government and the blessings of liberty must go hand in hand, I candidly submit, is it not the plain duty of every American citizen to be-fully alive to the questions which he is called upon by his vote to decide —\hc wrongs which he is in duty bound to redress? -But few realize the vast and untold responsibilities which devolve upon us! If the privileges which we constitutional ly enjoy are great, does it not logically' follow that the accountability resting upon us is corres pondingly great also ? With citizens of other countries the case may be, and is materially different. Among the monarchial nations of Europe all power reposes in the hands of the few. The titled nobility have but to issue their mandate, and all classes arc ready to do their bidding. There the masses are but passive re cipients. They practically have no part nor lot in the management of the affairs of their coun try. They merely perform the work given them .by those high in place. As an illustration of this, see the Emperors of France and Austria, two entire strangers, closeted together for an entire day, solemnly parceling out and divid i ing Italy as best suited their own peculiar, fan cy. Thus these two men (?) besides ruling with absolute sway their hundred million of subjects at home, deliberately, by force -and arms, de cide upon the political fate of that country which once could boast of a Caius Gracchus, a Fabius Maximus, a Junius Brutus! But thank Heaven, the freemen of these United States sus tain a different relation to their government.— In Europe the sovereign commands and the peo ple have but to obey. Here the people com mand, and those in office must either obey or be forced to retire into private life through the silent yet powerful medium of the Ballot Box. Yet while we have as citizens of this country, increased power politically, our duties which we owe to our country are enhanced also. In despotic nations, the subject having next to nothing to do with civil affairs, his responsibil ity becomes correspondingly lessened. But with us, all political power coming from the people—all offices being practically elective, does it require any argument to convince any one that if liberty is to be perpetuated—if the great truths taught us in the Declaration of In dependence are to be upheld and transmitted to ho'-c* that are to come after us, that the masses' ts Jonah. i. recently returned he following touch lenceforth hide his must vote intelligently—must read, think and act for themselves ? Upon great national ques tions which affect our whole country, should we not devote a portion of onr time and attention ? ■How can great reforms be forwarded, or gross abuses corrected except the freemen of this Union, fully understand the effect of their votes andl conduct themselves accordingly 1 How can they vote intelligently without being cor rectly informed ? And how can they obtain the desired information without giving the mat ter their honest attention ? Almost every Pres idential campaign has brought with it new is sues. Old ones either become, the settled pol icy of the government, or are repudiated alto gether and new ones spring up in their stead. At times the great political parties have been divided upon the U, S. hank, the tariff, the sub troasury, the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of public lands, of kho improvement of riv ers and harbors, and many others. But these in a measure have been passed upon, and oth ers have arisen in their place. Of these dead questions I cane not; the living questions are only what concern us, —questions, which you and X, reader, by our votes, will be called upon to help decide—questions which affect us indi vidually ; therefore have we not an interest in the rendition of the judgment?
