KEIM, BERKS COUNTY. measure* and Won. We were recently honored with a copy of tbe Colupibus (0.) Gazette, a Republican paper with a long and able leading article discussing the chances of the next Presidential election. We cannot tell to whom we are indebted for this paper; but as some of tbe points advanced are worthy of attention, we propose to say a few words on the subject it discosses. President-making so long in advance of the time necessary for such action, has been more than once deprecated in these columns. Spec ulations as to the fitness of particular men are premature and ill-advised, and to our mind they show tho speculators to be mere politicians in stead of true patriotic citizens. Granted that every man has his political favorite for Presi dential honors—one who reflects his highest ideas of statesmanship—one who, he thinks, would confer the greatest good to the whole people by his superior political wisdom in the administration of the Government. . Every in telligent man has such a favorite, but is it wise to urge him before the country at the wrong time ? Is it wise to be committed to the sup port of a man whose character as a statesman may change entirely before his services could be needed ? The power of the Press is very great, and its influence upon the popular mind is almost irresistable, but with all its influence and power it is impotent to crush the Right, or those who are its fearless and consistent exponents. On the other hand the Press is quite as impo tent to foist into popular regard any man whose public and private life and character do not de-‘ serve the honors sought for them. Men are judged by their acts, and by their sets alone. Tho words of any of our statesmen in the na tional legislature, spoken in an hour, or a sin gle vote cast in a moment may damn him deeper politically, than a thousand newspaper articles against him could otherwise have done. The hour must bring tbe man with it. Let us wait for the hour. The Gazette urges the names of Salmon P. Chase, now Governor of Ohio, for President, and Edward Bates of Missouri, for Vice Presi dent, on the ground that they are Western men, and that the nomination in 1860 is due to the West. For anything we know to the contrary we shall gladly favor the election of Mr. Chase to the Presidency, if he be as true a patriot and as able a statesman in 1860 as he is to-day, and if he shall receive the nomination of the Republican party for that office, without refer ence to the locality; but we should hesitate be fore voting for Mr. Bates or any other man, unless he plants himself 1 publicly upon distinct ive Republican principles, and gives evidence of a proper sympathy in behalf of the cause of human rights. We hare no desire to underrate the importance of having upon a ticket the names of good, true, and able men, but after all, these are but secondary to the principles to the maintenance of which they must stand pledged. Of these principles we take a different view from that advanced by onr cotemporary. The Republican Party had its beginning and holds its strength in the deep seated anti-slavery feeling of the people of the whole country. It is pre-eminently an anti-slavery party, and its other measures though of great importance, are but secondary to the great measure of “no more slave States.” As was well expressed by the Charleston Mercury a few weeks ago, with more truth than the truckling pro-slavery presses of the North liked to hear, the Republi can party is the only conservative party in the country. It does not propose to interfere with the “Constitutional rights of our brethren at the South” about which the Mulatto presses are, continually prating without knowing or caring to know what these rights are; but it does propose to protect all the citizens of all the States in their just Constitutional rights. We regret therefore, that any paper calling itself Republican should deny for itself any sympathy with the oppressed, for it cannot he doubted that by such denial it proves itself a worthy organ of demagogues, considering ex ipediency of more importance than principle, and the triumph of its favorite men of more importance than the triumph of measures for the safety and glory of the country. We admit that the Republican party is a white man’s party, hut the Gazette must have' studied the. political history of the country to poor advantage if it cannot see that it is also a party of equal constitutional political rights. Ever since 1820 the conservative anti-slavery feeling of the North has been laboring not for the abolition of slavery, but against its en croachments upon freedom. Is it not baseness to say, as the Gazette virtually does say, that all this labor has bean in vain, and that sym pathy for the colored man has had nothing to do with these efforts ? Is it not suicidal in the greatest degree for any party to represent fun damental ideas partially applied ? The Whig party died because it was all expediency and no humanity,—died because it valued success more than principle,—died because it emulated the Democratic party’s devotion to slavery by becoming heartless and indifferent to the rights of .man. And just so sure as the Republican party wavers in its devotion to the principle of “equal and exact justice to all men” inscribed THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE. upon its banner, just so surely will it totter and fall to the ground. Let the Gazelle and other such papers instead of trotting out favorite men, and spending time in- useless laudations of them, talk more of principles and in this way so educate the people that a defeat or a triumph will not aSecf our solidity as a parly, and so that we may, ifj we triumph at all, tri umph with Tamil. . | ' From thi Jamestown (N. Y.) Journal. “Fugitive’s Borne.” , Sandwich, Cl W., March 18, 1859. Ms. Wa. Riley, Springfield, Ky.—Sia I take this opportunity to dictate a few lines to you, supposing you might bo curious to know my whereabouts. lam happy, to inform you I am in Canada, in good health, and have been here several days. Perhaps, by the time, you have concluded that robbing a woman of her husband, and children of their father, does not pay, at least in your cafe; and I thought, while lying in jail by your direction, that if you had no remorse of conscience that would moke you feel for a poor broken hearted man, and bis worse-than-murdered wife and children, and could not be made to) feel for others os you would have others feel for you, and could not by any entreaty or persuasion be induced to do os you promised you would, which was to let me go with my family for §Boo—but contended for $l,OOO, when you had promised to take the same you gave fur me (which was $060,) at the time you bought me, [and let me go with my dear wife and children! but instead would render roe miserable,! and lie to me, and to your neighbors (how if words mean anything, what I say is so,) and when you was at Louis ville trying to sell me! then I thought it was time for me to make my feet feel for Canada, and let your conscience feel in your pocket. Now you cannot say but that I did all that was honorable and right while I was with you, al though I was a slave/ j 1 pretended all the time that I thought you, pjr some one else had a better right to me than I had myself, which you know is rather hard thinking. You know, too, that you proved a traitor to me in time of need, and when in the most bitter distress that the human soul is capable of experiencing; and could you have carried out your purposes there would have beonjno relief. But I rejoice to say that an unseen, kind spirit appeared for the oppressed, and bade me to take up my bed and walk—the result of which is that lam victorious and you are defeated, I am comfortably sit rated in Canada, work ing for George Harris, one of the persons that act a part in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” He was n slave a few years ago in Kentucky, and now owns a farm so level that there is not hills enough on it to hide a dog, yet so large that I got lost in it the other day. He says that I may be the means of helping poor fugitives and doing them as mi oh good as he does, in time. Thia country is not vbnt it has been repre sented to me and others to be. In place of its being cold and barren,jit has a beautiful, com fortable climate, and fertile soil. It is much more desirable in those respects than any part of Kentucky that I ever saw. There is only one thing to prevent me being entirely happy here, and that is the went of my dear wife and children, and to see us enjoying ourselves to gether here. I wish you could realize the con trast between Freedom and Slavery; but it is not likely we shall ever meet again on this earth. But if you want to go to the nest world and meet a God of lovej mercy, and justice, in peace; who says, “Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these my little ones, you did it unto me”—making the professions that you do, pro-' tending to be a follower of Christ, and torment-, ing me and my little on ss as you have done— had better repair the breaches you have made among us in this world by sending my wife and children to me; thus preparing to meet your God in peace; for, if God don’t punish you for inflicting such distress on the poorest of His poor, then there is no use of having any God, or talking about one. But, in this letter, I have said enough to canse you to do all that is necessary for you to do, providing you are any part of the man yo i pretend to be. So I will close by saying that, if you see proper to reply to my letter, either condemning or justi fying the course you have taken with mo, I will again write you. I hope you will consider candidly and see if the case does not justify every word I have said, and ten times as much. You must not consid er that it is a slave tali ting to “massa” now, but one as free as yourself. I subscribe myself cne of the abused of America, but one of the Justified and honored of Canada.

An Extbaobdinabi' Flour Contract.— A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat , wri ting from Camp Flnyd, Utah Territory, charges that a great swindle is being perpetrated under a contract of flour for the United States Array. The contractors are Holliday, and Col. Martin, who receive S2B oO per 100 pounds. The annual consumption is about 2,000,000 pounds, which would make the amount of the contract 5572.000. Taking into consideration the fact that Mr. ffm, Mirtin and B. P. Staun ton offered to furnish the supply for §lO per 100 pounds, and that Mr. J. C. Little agreed to take the same contract for $7 50 per 100 pounds, it seems strange that Moss :s. Holliday & Martin have been awarded this contract at §2B 00 per 100 pounds. The flour furnished is manufac tured in the territory, is (f poor quality, and is bought by the contractors for $5 to §8 per 100 pounds. At the latter rate they are at an out lay of §160,000 in fulfilling the contract, leaving them a snug little balance of Jour hundred and twelve thousand dollars. The writer alleges that there are probably four partners in this contract, Mr. John Hollid ty, Maj. Martin, Wm. Russell, (firm of Russell, Major & War Jell,) and Secretary Floyd. They will realize one hundred thousand dollars each, and bo at no rouble or risk. I Many suffer, rather tha i tike nauseous med icines.

For the Agitator. Hon. John Ryon. The subject of this notice was born in the valley of Wyoming, near Wilkesbarre Pa., on the Ist day of ■January, 1787, and died at bis .residence in Lawrenoeville, Tioga County, Pa., on the 22nd dfiy of July 1859. The father of the deceased was a resident of Wyoming prior to the American Revolution, and during the war was a soldier in the army of Washington. He' also served in the cani paigh of Gen. Sullivan against the Indians on the Chemung and Genesee. He was bom in Connecticut, where his paternal ancestor who was an Irishman had settled in colonial pirnes. Soon after the close of the revolutionary war he removed from Wyoming to Southport on the Chemung. ■ i Judge Ryon was one of the early settlers of Tioga County. In the year 1810, soon after his marriage, he located on the Cowanesque River. His location embraced what is now called Elk land village, hut was formerly known as Ry onsville. At that time the territory now inclu ded within the County of Tioga was a wild and unsettled region of country. The early settlers were subjected to all the inconveniences, hard ships and privations incident to the settlement of a country heavily timbered and possessing a rigorous and inhospitable climate. Judge Ryon had his share of these hardships and privations ; but bis strong physical frame and great energy of character, combined with habits of temper ance, industry and economy enabled him to overcome them and to succeed in clearing up and paying for the tract of land on which he located, and making it one of the finest farms in the valley of the Cowanesque. On this farm he resided thirty-nine years, anil had brought under cultivation pearly two hundred acres of land before he left it to reside atLawrenceville. It is high praise to say of Judge Ryon, that this and all bis subsequent acquisitions were the results of his own exertions and energies,— that he had not the aid of fortune or rich friends to commence with, and that in his first outset in life he was compelled to assume the condition of a pioneer, and contend with the difficulties and privations of a residence in the wilderness- The deceased was well known as a public man and a politician, having held at various times by appointment and election positions which brought him prominently before the peo ple, and gave him an extended Acquaintance notonly within the County of Tioga but through out the State of Pennsylvania. At the October election in 1819 be was elec ted a member of the House of Representatives of the State, and was continued a member dur ing six successive terms. He was afterwards elected a member of the State Senate and served one term. In the Spring of 1829 he was appointed Superintendent of the West Branch Division '.of the Pennsylvania Canal, and served in this capacity three years. 1 On the 29th of Jan’y 1833, he was appointed by Gov. Wolf an associate Judge for Tioga County.— He held this appointment until the 27th of February, 1842, when it was annulled by the limitation contained in the schedule to the amended Constitution of the State, adopted in 1838. lie was afterwards re-commissioned by Gov. Porter for the term of 5 years—commenc ing on the 4th of March 1842 and expiring on the 4th of March 1847. Ho also held the com mission of a Justice of the Peace under Gov. Snyder, bearing dote the 15th of Fcb’y, 1810, and several military commissions, the highest in rank of which was one tbrtbe office of Lieut. Colonel. The duties of these several stations were dis charged by the deceased ably and with strict fi delity to the public interests. Judge Kyon in his political career was al ways a member of the Democratic party—hold ing his commissions under Democratic Gover nors and Lis elective cffices at the hands of a Democratic constituency. For this party and its leading men and principles he always cher ished a warm affection. His political senti ments however were eminently conservative, and he was always a devoted friend and sup porter of the interests and policy of his native State, both in her legislative halls and in his retirement as a private citizen. In his social intercourse Judge Ryon was frank, courteous and manly. He was kind to the needy and afflicted, sincere in his friend ships, open hearted in his antipathies, and re liable in his, business transactions. In his re ligious attachments he was Presbyterian, hav ing been a prominent member of the Presbyte rian Church during many years and contribu ted largely to its support. He has left a large family circle and many warmly attached friends to mourn his loss and cherish his memory. , Co*. AVellshoro, Aug. J, 1859. A Letter feom President Blchanan—He Declines the Presidency for a Second Term. —The subjoined letter from President Buchan an was received this morning by the Hon. Wil son McCandless: Bon ford Springs, July 25, 1859. MvDe..rSir:— l have received your kind note of the 19th inst., together with the leader from the Dost. Whilst I appreciate, as it de serves, the ability and friendship displayed in that editorial, I yet regret that it has been pub lished. My determination not, under any cir-| cumstances, to become a candidate for reflec tion, is final and conclusive. My best judgi ment and strong inclination unite in favor of this course. To cast doubts upon my prede termined purpose is calculated to impair my influence in carrying out important measures, and affords a pretext for saying that these (measures) have been dictated by a desire to be renominated. With kindest regards &c., Respectfully your friend, ; JAMES BUCHANAN. Henry Ward Beecher writes an article in the Independent in which he denies, with charac teristic pleasantry that he is a spirit medium. He says: Now, if any spirit, or any corps of associated spirits, are employing us- as a line by which to telegraph truth from that sphere to this, they are doing it without our knowledge or consent. We protest against the operation. And, as we can imagine no way to take the law against them for trespass, we take the newspaper. And we here bring no railing ac cusation against any or sundry spirits that have quizzed Mr. Chase or Mr. Avery, bat we expostulate with those mischievous spirits that amuse themselvs at the expense of these sober and honest gentlemen. Itisnotfair. Itwould not be regarded as square in the body, and we don’t believe it is so out of the body. And, as for using us as ago between on such ludicrous errands, the spirits know very well that it is on the sly if at all. And, if it is not stopped immediately, we will find out some way to cot the wires.” Much has been said of the Eastern Esculapi us’ labors for the sick; not one half has yet l been told of the indomitable pereeverance of this singular man. Imbued with the convic tion that Scrofula is the parent of disease, he has been years engaged in searching the boun daries of the earth, for its antidote. With vast labor has he canvassed the products of sea and land, through both continents until he has discovered that combination of remedials which expurges this human rot and corruption from the system. This new invention we now offer in onr columns under the name of Ayer’s Sar saparilla, although its virtues are from sub stances far more active and effectual than Sarsaparilla. —Mercantile Journal.
