From Kentucky. Bowling Green, August, 5, 1859. Mb. Editor :—This section is within compass of what is known as the “barrens,” but, not withstanding this counter epithet, is very fer tile and productive. Prior to the settlement by the whites (sixty or seventy years since) this was a kind of up land “prairie,” covered with grass and annu ally burned over, but the first settlers stopping ! the ravages of the .fire, the luxurious grass gave way to a vigorous growth of oak, hickory, black jack, honey-locust, sassafras, and pawpaw tim ber, which have grown thriftly and gracefully, and now appear like beantiful groves promison ousiy planted by art,- giving variety and beauty to the landscape, (and to one reared among the hills and vales of Tioga) awakening feelings of rapture and poesy. The soil, resting on a solid bed of limestone, with an intervening stratum of redish, argillaceous earth, is very rich and supports a superb and over-luxurious burden of vegetation : so much so, as almost to supercede the necesity of tilling, and for which the far mers may be thankful; for snob husbandry as is found here, would meet with poor reward in a less fertile soil. There are however some good farmers in Kentucky. There are in this vicinity numerous “caves” and “sinkholes," for which Kentucky is so much noted. The former, from having a copi ous stream of water flowing through them, are very much sought after for building sites, as they answer the purpose of well, spring-house, milkroom, and cellar, and are generally very commodious. lam told there is one within six miles of this place in which is erected a flour mill entire. These “eaves" are not entered as at the brow of a hill, (there are no elevations here that would bear that name,) but are entire ly below the sufaeo of the surrounding country. You first come to a quite extensive depression, a kind of gorge, wiili abrupt margins, from which spring trees of various sizes, and vigor ous growth. At one extremity of this gorge you observe a copious stream of water issue forth, which for a few feet, or perhaps to the other extremity of the gorge, flows placidly along a< if enjoying its momentary release from earth’s dark and hidden recesses; and then as if by magic drops again into its subterranean abode. Whence the -stream issues, you enter, and are at once ushered into a spacious cham ber, swept and white-washed—the farmer’s spring-house, buttery, and cellar. , - This brief description will harmonize with the several caves 1 have .visited. The Great Mammoth Cave is within twenty-five miles of this place, whithur I anticipate an excursion before long. Tho “sinkholes” are of a conical form with the apes downward. They are of various sizes—from 50 to 70 ft. deep and per haps 50 to olid in circuit at the base. The sides and bottoms are frequently covered with willow and other aquatic plants, and sometimes the rumbling of waters may be heard beneath.— Without doubt these maybe attributed to vacu ities in the limestone formation beneath. Owing to this porosity below the surface and the same evenness and uniformity in the “lay” of the laud, there arc very few streams and no natu ral springs. Consequently farmers are driven to the necessity of making artificial “ponds” for tho use of the plantation. This they do by selecting some bason-like depression in the sur face—perhaps the site of some ancient sinkhole, and there feeding their stock continuously.— The ground which is a fine marl, by treading soon becomes impermeable to water, which then collects there during the storms, and rainy sea sons, and j[hus furnishes the only resort of tho “plantation.” Such ponds are quite nu merous, and the farmer prizes them highly.—• Yet I cannot but think that their influence is deleterious to general health. Indeed it is but common sense to conclude that so much sur face of stagnant water lying exposed to the rays of the sun in summer, cannot be whole some. Still the inhabitants will only concede that they are injurious when on the south side of the dwelling; but they will shiver under the “chills” almost tire year round, and console themselves with the idea that this inconvenience is coexistent with the climate. It is not, how ever, considered unhealthy here. The “chills” prevail somewhat, but are easily broken, and are only considered “troublesome.” Crops in this vicinity are a decided failure.— Wheat falls short of a half crop, owing to the “rust.” Oats are a cipher from the same cause. Corn and tobacco arc seriously injured by the late drouth, and fruit by tho late frost in tpring. Last Thursday, Aug. 4th, was the first rain of consequence that has fallen here since the 16th of June, a period of 42 days. And during that time the Thermometer vascillating about 00° in the middle of the day—the maximun being 101° and much of the time no dews fell to counteract tiie influence of this inordinate heat. Official returns from the late election, which was held last Monday have not yet been received. Report says, however, that the Democratic State ticket is elected throughout. Magoffin’s .major ity over Bell for Governor is estimated from ten to twenty thousand. In this Congressional District the Opposition elected their candidate, Bristow, with a heavy majority, and several other minor Officers. J. D. Y. The Villafranca Arrangement. TIIE LAST OF THE WAR.

We tried to show that this course was entirely suicidal, and reflected but little credit upon those who propose to follow it—that tt ey were mere wire workers, political auction eers who dealt out their wares to . the highest ai id best bidder—men who are Republicans be cause that is the strongest party in the locality where they live. We tried also to show the ft.llacy, or rather the folly of such men in indi c iting certain statesmen as their choice for the Presidency.so long in advance of the right t: me; and during the week last post an instance o 'Presidential aspirations suddenly nipped in the bud presents itself, which for the edification of 0 ir readers, and to illustrate the general morale o' Presidential wire-working,, we will now “im prove.” It may be truthfully said that the course of politicalaspirations, like “the course of true love/ never did run smoothe,” and in no case within our recollection has this truth been made more evident than in that of Henry A. Wise, the f resent chivalrous Governor of Virginia. Two or three years ago, he was elected to the office h e now holds over a Know-Nothing candidate py a lage majority, and the triumphant Democ racy of Virginia straightway dubbed him “the champion who had grappled the monster Amer -1 :anism by the throat and strangled it to death.” !iut this champion who thus laid low the hide us monster aforesaid, was lately,.it, seems, in ontinently laid low by one of that class of Lmericon citizens to appease whose vengeance nd to avenge whose wrongs the aforesaid mon ster was killed. Barney Donnelly, on'amateur politician who hails from the island of Saints, j ust for his own diversion as .it were, and to i pratify a long cherished desire of his own to be i n correspondence with great men, wrote Gov. (Vise a letter which appealed to the dearest ' viahes of his heart, and which tickled alike his ’ ranity and his ambition. History shows the . amentable fact that all successful champions, ;’rom the halcyon days of Amadas de Gaul lown to our own degenerate times, have been rain of their achievements.

I hare apprehended all along that the Tammany Kegoucy would carry a united delegation from New York to Charleston. For whom! Douglas, I know, is confident; but yot( may rely on it slr. Buchanan is himself a candidate for renomination.and all his patronage and power will be n-ed to disappoint Doug* las and nil other.aspirants. Our onlychnnceia reorganize by districts, and cither whip the enemy or scud two delega tions. ' ) If that is done or not dona, we must still rely, on a united South. A united South will depend ,ou a united Virginia, and I pledge you that she, at least, shall bo a unit. Virginia a unit, and persistent and firm on a sound platform of pro tection to all persons, of popular versus Squatter Sovereignty, she must roily to her support nil the South. The Smith can not adopt Mr. Douglas's platform. It is n short cut to all tbe ends of Black Republicanism. Ifo then will kick up his heels. If he does or don’t he can’t be nominated, and] the main ar gument against his nomination is that be canlt bo elected if nominated. If he runs an independent at\d Sew ard runs, and I am namlnatednt Charleston, 1 can ucattbem both. Or, if Squatter Sovereignty is a plank of the platform at Charleston, ami Douglas is nominated, the South will run an independent candidate' on protection principles, and ruu the election into the House. Whore, then, wotild Mr. Doug las be? The lowcstcnndidato on the list. K lhave the popular strength you suppose, it will itself fix the nomination. Get that and I am confident of success j The Hon. F. Wood is professedly and really, 1 believe, a friend, and of course I would, in good faith, be glad of his influence, and would do nothing to impair it, and could not justly reject hi* kind aid; hut you nmy rely upon it that I am neither completely nor at all in the hands] of Mr. Wood, or of any other man who breathes. Uo has always been friendly to me, and I am to him, hut always tin fair and in dependent terms. There is nothing in our relations which should keep aloof any friend of either. Ho knows, as well as any one can tell him, that his main influence is in the City of New York, and I judge what yon «ay of hisjeountry influ ence is correct. But lam countinc all thetimfe without New . York, and don’t fear the result. lam depending solely upon an open position of principle, independent of nil cliques, and defying all comers. Wo will overwhelm opposition in Vir ginia. ami her vote uill be cotiM-riative and n itional. Atail events, I shall always Iw glad to hear rom vou, and am, yours, truly. HKNUV A. WISE. B. Donnelly Esq. Now, we have no desire to magnify at the expense of the Pro-Slavery Democratic Party .this ill-advised and ridiculous letter; and we on ly copy it to show the means resorted to, in many instances to cheat the people out of their real choice for those who govern ttem. This country is cursed with demagogues, and here is one who coolyi sits down and to an obscure politician calculates his chances of success in a scrub race for the Presidency, i t ought to be remembered that hat a month ago this man was considered by the entire Democracy of the country as a fit man for the Presidency—fit to guide the destinies of a nation like ou rs—fit to occupy the seat where once sat Jefferson and the Adamses. When we find a man, whom, as in this instance, we bad always regarded as a high-minded Statesman, dabbjling in the dirtiest cess-pools of the dirtiest of all New York State politics, it creates in ua feelings of disgust at the whole race of demagogues. And it strength'enes us in our oppinions often ex pressed in these columns that President-ma king and President-killing are games of the politicians, with which the people—the masses' —have but little to do. Hero the Inner work ings of Democratic political machinery are laid bare to the eye,—so bare indeed that no rhetoric or sophistry can cloak the m from the popular gaze and thelpopular disgust. Candidates. As this number of! the Agitator is probably, the last which will be read by the Republicans in all parts of the County prior to the day for holding the Convention at Tioga, we propose to say a few words in regard to th e election of delegates and their action as such in Conven tion. We have noticed that several of the candi dates for office have canvassed the different townships with the view to prejudice voters in their favor. These ; candidates may possibly plead that the practice is sanctio oed by cus tom and that therefore they are justified in doing so. To say the least of ii;, we believe that it is a very poor way—a way more calcu lated to defeat than to secure a po sular expres sion of the opinions of the people most deeply interested and concerned. One of two things is undoubtedly true: either that this high pressure electioneering is right, or Conventions for a free and unbiassed ex pression of the popular wish of tlie people are right. If the first be right, the last is certainly unnecessary, os it seems to us. but we hold that Conventions are necessary Jto any party organization; that without them there could be no organized effort, and speaking relatively, no success. And we firmly believe thattthis custom, —if this practice is old Inough to be dignified by the name of custom-j-will do more, to undermine the strength of a pa rty than any thing else. Why ? We will try to tell you. When candidates go before the people with a view to influence them in their action at the primary meetings, they pervert the privileges of the citizens intending to vote, by appealing to their sympathies and by securing them by pledges, thus limiting in some degree the liber ty of a free expression. Men become so intense ly selfish when asking for office, tlhat principles are left in the back ground, and in some cases entirely forgotten. If for instance, a Republi can seeking for an office meets im bis travels a half-way, vreak-baoked Republican whose vote may be needed in caucus, the Republican can didate goes down to the level of Weak Back in stead of bringing him up to his own level. In this way principle is often inconvenient to the can didate, and the result is demoralizing alike to the voter and to him who seeks j the vote. If .the people dp not putastop to this kind of thing, we will soon be,’ os a party,' burdened down with all that clap-trap which we.iso heortUj de spise in the party which now rules us. People do not like to be bored by office seekers, nor ought they to be. j ' It may. be asked, “How are people going to know who are candidates ?” Ret the people meet together in caucus and elect delegates to a county Convention, and letj the names of candidates he redd from the county paper. Let those present who know the men by-reputation speak of them as they deserve. The capability, integrity of character, and fidelity to principle of each candidate ought to ho discussed with out fear; and due weight ought to he given to the claims of locality. v ln eases where little can be known of candidates, much should be left to the discretion of delegates. Wo believe this would 6e better. Will the people try. it ? ; In the selection of candidates to be presented to the people for their suffrages, the county Convention should regard no man’s claims to office over any other man. 1 The truth is, no man has any claims to office, except fitness.— The fact that a man is a partisan ought not to entitle him to superior consideration. Let the convention act os for the people instead of the politicians; and tbe Republican party of Tioga will gather strength with each succeeding year. But just as soon as the interests of tbe people are made secondary to tbe clains of some wire worker because be bos been each, tbe party will lose strength as it certainly ought to. We trust the approaching convention will be governed by discretion and wisdom. FROM THE PEOPLE. For the Agitator. Is Party Spirit consonant with Freedom. This question has been the theme of much discussion. Tbe profoundcst men of our time have given much attention to the subject, and many arguments pm and con have been adduced, and the object of this article will be to prove that in a few representative governments where all power comes directly from the people, a con servative party spirit is highly beneficial to tho perpetuity of constitutional liberty. Certainly I mean not that wild fanatical spirit Which would destroy every thing in opposition to it; that spirit cherished by the nullifiers of the South, or the Constitution-burners of tho North. There are extremes upon all questions which are to be studiously avoided, bat in my opinion a fair and honest party spirit in which men ex press their cherished convictions, is both right and expedient. This position may be disputed. I know full well that there are many who grieve ously lament the existence of political parties among us, who would go about in sack cloth and ashes, if "politics” only could be entirely removed. And to this class of persons 1 wish chiefly to address myself in this article. And here, at the outset, I am willing to admit, that many gross abases, many private and public wrongs are frequently the result of an unnatu ral party beat, yet they are more than coun terbalanced by the benefits resulting therefrom. In tbe first place I would appeal to past his tory in confirmation of my position, for as a people, we pay much deference ’to precedents. Many examples might be adduced, but every re public that thus ever flourshed and decayed, has the same story to tell. To cite one may be sufficient for the whole. Every school boy is familiar with the story of Greece. It will be recollected that that repub lic was composed of a number of small states cemented together by the celebrated “Achean League.” Practically they sustained much the same re lation to each other as do our own United States. They were strongly allied to each other, offen sive and defensive. To a foreign power they were invincible as the Persian hosts found to theie lasting sorrow in the straits of Salomis and upon the plains of Marathon. Though in case of a rebellion, they would rally around a common flag as one man, intent upon either death or victory. Still in their local affairs they were independant of each other. Each framed laws which best suited them, and they were extremely jealous of each other’s increase of power. During the palmy days of Greece, the age of which historians write, and poets sing— the ago which produced her Pericles and Aris tides—the age which saw the battles of Ther mopylae and Platea—the age in which she be gan the cultivation of letters and the fine arts, her States Were impelled onward by a strong, but evenly matched party spirit. As long as she was' divided into different parties she flour ished, but the sequel is nut yet told. Philip of Macedon, early evinced a strong de sire for military glory. Under various pretexts, he made war upon his neighbouring states. — Demosthenes vainly used his eloquence against him. The Athenians could not successfully combat him. As a matter of course, the whole of Greece became subservient to him, and hence forth there was but one great controling party, Philip having met a premature death, Alexan der came forth to fill his place, and the rest is soon told. By the force of his arms he over ran all Asia; country after country he brought subject to his. dominion. At last we find him -seated by the sea side weeping because he had no more worlds to conquer. His end, too, was untimely, and Greece the land cf scholars and patriots sank rapidly back into ignorance and decay, and soon we find her becoming an easy prey of the conquering Eagles of Rome. As long as her power, politically, was properly balanced, she knew nothing but prosperity. As long as the equality of the states composing the confederacy was admitted, her course was on ward and upward, but the absolute domination of Philip and his son, completed her ruin. And is nob what is true of the past, true of the pres ent? Is not that which is true of other repub lics true of ours ? * * ***** That a moderate party spirit is conducive to freedom is almost self-evident. If there is but one great overshadowing party, it has, of course, no fear of rivalry. It seeks merely its own advancement. It hesitates not to trample upon the rights of others, if its own selfish ends are but satisfied. It has no check upon its own insatiable desires. But when we have several parties, one serves as a check upon the other. If one in its desire for absolute supremacy, be gins to be filled with corruption—labors only for place instead of principle, its rivals expose its intentions to the glare of the world, which nat urally enongh serves to check its growing arro gance. Suppose, for instance, the present self styled Democratic party bad every thing its own way, if it found no one to oppose its notions of public policy, how long would our Republic be one in anything but name ? How long would it take that “progressive” party ; to change the entire policy of one government if it was not disturbed by the “opposition ?” It has moved forward from the slavery restriction doctrine of its father Jefferson, to the repeal of the Missou ri compromise-—Lecompton, Bred Scott—Ter ritorial Slave Laws—Stealing of Cuba, and the re-opening of the;African Slave trade. Now here are some-of the doctrines of this party, openly advocated by its avowed -lea-, ders, and if this party had no opposition how long would a vestige of freedom be left upon this continent ? And shall we not meet these issues, forced upon ds by the slave driving Democracy, calmly but determiedly ? These issues are upon us, and by Oar votes must bq decided. There is no evading the contest. We must either manfully use our united efforts to "bring back this govern ment to its original policy, to cause freedom to be National and slavery Sectional, or tamely submit to the growing insolence of our south ern fire eating friends. who a thousand times already have dissolved this glorious union.— This battle must soon he fought, and it is to ha hoped decided through the medium of the ballot-box; and where Shall we be found in the coining struggle ? Shall we not conduct our selves “like men—high mined men—who “know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them V Middlebury, Pa. Prank. Local Correspondence. Liberty Pa. Aug. 13 th, 1859, Dear Sir :—I would inform you by this line, that the greater part of our Farmers in Liberty, have got their Wheat, Rye, and Hay crops safe ly housed in their barns, and they find that Li sted of getting a half crop, they have almostan average one. Indeed the Farmers in our Town ship have been very agreeably disappointed with the unexpected yield of Grain and Hay. They also expect to harvest the coming week, one of the old fashioned crops of Oats. The Corn, Buckwheat, and Potato crops, promises an average yield if nothing happens to injure them in coming to maturity. The Formers in our Township are begining to have their hopes brightened by the unexpected yield of all kind of crops,. They are looking forward for better times, ahtl wo that are engaged in the mercan tile business, are cheering ourselves with the hope that it the crops turn out good, we will reoeive our share of the proceeds arising from the sales of the excellent, crops that are being gathered in our Valley. But if we should fail in getting money from the Farmers, on old debts, and for new goods, we are certain of be ing sharers with them in their bountiful crops, if our lives are spared to enjoy them.
