The Philadelphia Ledger is dear and decided 'in opposition to paper currency, We find the following sample of its reasoning on the sub ject; “We do not expect that every man in the country will be a political economist, well read in the workings of the modern machinery by which capital controls labor; bnt it is not too much to hope that the time may come in wbich all men who can either read or see or hear, will understand and believe the following plain statement; Banking is a system under which, the borrower gives his note , with security and in terest, for the lender's note without security and itUeresi. Wfaen this fact ia universally compre hended in this country, banking—we mean the issuing of paper money—will take its place along side of astrology and divination, among the lumber of the past; and men will wonder that their predecessors bore for so many years, with a system so totally useless and radically absurd. Then the country will enter upon a career of prosperity from which nothing, ex cept some convulsion of nature, can cause it to diverge. In the mean time, the masses will be content to bear the alternative excitements and depressions of the times; to be rich one decade and poor the - next, with the hope of being rich again durinjg the third; and, what is worse, they must endure the mortifying reflection— although conscious of the truth —that if the foreign debts of the country—those contracted long ago, and those of a more recent date, all the result of excessive bank issues—were paid, the United States would be stripped of the last dollar. Not a dime would be left." A Frank Admission.— Hon. George Euatis, a Know Nothing member of the last Congress from Louisiana, baring been tendered a re-nom ination by that party, declined the honor, and announced in a letter his determination to take lodgings with the Democratic party hereafter. In going over to the arms of bis new lore, the gentleman gives vent to his convictions thus: “In the Presidential contest, where the field will be occupied by the Republican and Demo cratic forces marshalled in battle array, no Southern man can hesitate os to his place. No son of Louisiana can mistake his banner; for, whatever errors the Democratic party may have committed—and it undoubtedly has many to answer for—whatever inconsistencies it may have fallen into, tee must bear in mind that Southern men. Southern statesmen, have ruled supreme in iis councils, and have held its DESTINIES IN THEIR HANDS. That’s the truth, and Northern men know it to be so as well as the Southern people do. In the last Presidential campaign, the fact that “Southern men’’ held the destinies of the Dem ocratic party in their hands, was denied as often as it found utterance ; and it is still de nied by a few reckless politicians at the North; but its truth is now so unquestionable that but , few have the hardihood to deny it. —Pittburgh Gazette. ■ A word to Ladies on the Subject or Tem perance.—Have you no interest in the cause of Temperance ?

A New Dodge is Finance.— The Washington States describes a novel way of raising funds, which is carried on in that and other cities. It says: 1 ■“lt seems that a firm in New York advertise .that they have money to loan. On application being made, the borrower is required to advan-1 ce one per cent on the nnount he desires, pen- j ding the consideration of his application. If i it is rejected, one half of the amount of one per cent on the sum desired is returned to him, and the remaining half goes to the firm for the •trouble* they have been placed at in consider ing the application. ; “Under the supposition that all applications are rejected, quite a handsome amount on the bercentage must result to the pretended leaders. The firm is located in New York, and an agen cy now exists somewhere in this city. Some one of the applicants who has his application numbered as rejected, ‘300,’ has reported the matter to the New York police authorities. However it may be questioned whether there are any false pretenses about this, in view of the fact that the applicant, before investing bis money, understands the terms of the bar gain.” I Effects of Poisoned Whiskey. —Tha Craw fbrdsville (Ind.) Journal reports a case of poi soning by whiskey, that ought to be ns effective as a dozen temperance lectures. It says that a young man named Lewis of that county, drank whiskey on the 30th of July, which burnt his throat and stomach, and made him vomit—not unusual occurrences with more liquors than whiskey. The next day ha drank again, and in the afternoon, an hour or so after swallowing the last glass, he was seized with convulsions, which lasted six hours, and contorted his body and limbs terribly. His toes were drawn in upon the soles of his feet, his fingers in on his palms, and his head and feet back toward each other till they met and bent bis body into a cir cle. His jaws were locked fast and could not he opened at all, but he retained bis conscious ness. For ten day j», at intervals of one to five boors these spasms have returned, but happily, with entire unconsciousness in the patient since the first ones. , Death of the Oldest Resident or this County. —We learn from the Havana Journal that Mrs. Barbour died at her residence in the town of Oatlin, on Friday, July 22d, and was buried the fallowing Sunday.

We publish in another column a special re port of the proceedings of the Tioga Republi can Convention, the Official Report not having come to band in time for this week’s paper.— However, it will be seen that our Report is fuller and more explicit than official reports usually are. The ticket put in nomination gives general satisfaction to Republicans all over the County, and the proceedings were harmonious through out. We talked with the delegates from most of the townships, and heard the most cheering prospects of an expected full vote for the ticket from almost every locality. The gentlemen nominated for the various of fices are too well known to need any introduc tion to our readers from us. We shall take oc casion however during the campaign now open ed, to speak of them separately and at length. jjgy- We shall publish next week a letter from Horace Greeley giving the result of a per sonal interview with Brigham Young and the other leaders in the Mormon Church while on a late visit to Salt Lake City. Mr. Greeley is now in California and is confidently expected to return in time to fulfil bis engagement to speak to our Agricultural friends on the 30th inst. aas ....—..u u pampmet report of the ' “Proceedings'of the Democratic State Conven tion, held at Harrisburg, Pa., March IGtfi 1859” —lately issued for distribution among the “faith ful,” we notice with regret some important ex purgations. Thus the Great Speech of Prof. Gardner on the Democratic ,Soap Question is entirely omitted, and no reference is made to that gentleman. The Resolution of Tbos. Col lins of Blair, to the effect “that the Democracy of Pennsylvania will be defeated by a Black Republican majority of 30,000,” is also sup pressed. We bespeak a fair hearing for the Soap man and Collins. We observe that ‘-Truth crushed to earth wilt rise again, Ac.” is several times quoted by the orators, and we now desire to quote the same, as having pecu liar significance in reference to Mr. Collins’ Resolution, and to Prof. Gardner’s speech.— Let the faithful have another edition without expurgations. Fire at Mansfield. We notice by the Towanda papers that Yankee Robinson’s Circus failed to perform at that place on account of a little attachment in the hands of the Tioga (N. Y.) Sheriff for only $1900,00 due for printing. During the past two weeks two circuses have been in this county. We are among those who believe that amusements are beneficial to the people, but we doubt whether these traveling circuses come under the head of beneficial amusements. It is not to be denied that they are followed from place to place by desperate villains, block-legs, burglars and out throats— the scum of the places through which they pass. Saying nothing at all of the character of the amusements of circuses generally, there can be no doubt that the public safety, as well as pub lic and private morals are endangered by the class of persons above referred to. We learn that on Tuesday, the 23d nit., the Circus of “H. Whitby & Co.” visited Mans field. On the evening of that day, after the second performance, the barns—five in number —of D. C. Holden, Esq., immediately adjoining the village were destroyed by fire. They con tained 75 tons of bay besides all his farming implements, carriages, wagons &c., and only a plow and drag were saved. The barns were so arranged as to form a hollow square or court, and the fire Was discovered on three sides of it, proving conclusively that it was the work of a gang of incendiaries, intended to attract the at tention of the people of the village Wfiile they could plunder the town. This plan was tfawart ed by the presence of mind of the citizens.— Only one stable, containing two good horses, was broken open, but the thieves being sur prised, they did not effect their purpose. We are told that the men connected with the circus did all they could to save the barns. The loss is over $3OOO. Insurance $3,800, We learn that the night previous a dwelling house was fired at Tioga—the circus having been-there on that day—but have learned none of the particulars."

Q. A. Grow, our able Representative in Congress, in his indefatigable efforts to secure a Homestead Bill for tho ben efit of the laboring poor as against the rich monopolist; and bis course generally upon all questions affecting the Bights of the People. i Krsolvep, That the cringing and subservient donghfaceism exhibited by Wm. Bigler—a Senatpr of Pennsylvania now in Congress—upon all questions affecting the interests of our State as well os.of our people, is contemptible in the ex treme, and is a fair exhibit of what ‘‘modern democracy” would do, if it could. BxsoLvsn, That the course of our other Senator, Hon. Si mon Cameron in his support of Pennsylvania measures and all other questions of public concern, has been that of a true hearted patriot and high-minded statesman, and de serves our admiration and the thanks of all patriotic Penn sylvanians.

A motion prevailed that the Chair lappoint the Senatorial and Representative Conferees.— John R; Bowen, Mart King and 0. F. Taylor were appointed Senatorial Conferees to meet at Coudersport September 2Xst, and I. M. Bodine and A. J. Sofield as Representative Conferees to meet at Wellsboro, September 24th.

Sofield, that the nest An nual Convention meet in Wellsboro next year was defeated, and Mansfield was selected as the place by a handsome majority. The Convection then adjourned sine die. J. L. M. Important Decision.— The Ohio Black law Declared Unconstitutional. —The Court of Com mon Pleas for Cuyahoga County, through Judge Foot, this morning delivered an impor tant decision. At the last election Freeman H. Morris, tailor, of this city, and having about one-fourth negro blood in his veins, presented himself at the First Ward voting place and was barred from voting on account of his negro blood. Action was brought against the judges of election, Sanborn, Christian and Garrett, for illegally rejecting the vote. They pleaded in defence the recent action of the Legislature, rejecting the vote of every person having negro blood in his veins. The case was mode up and submitted to the court. This morning Judge Foote declared for the plaintiff, declaring the “Black Law” to be unconstitutional. The Court held that under the old Constitution of Ohio all persons having more than half white blood were declared to be legally i white. The new Constitution merely mentioned “white persons,” without defining what constituted a white person ; consequently the definition of a white person contained in the old Constitution remained in force, and any law declaring a person hailing more than half white blood to be a negro must of necessity be unconstitutional.— Clece. Herald. A Modern Romance. —Over a month ago, an indipendent farmer named Marwood Gilbert, living at Yarmouth, C. W., eloped with his wife’s sister on the morning of the day she was to have maried one Henry Locke. The friends of both parties were in a terrible pucker, but made no pursuit. About a week ago the tru ant pair returned, and the excitement in the village grew apace. Gilbert charged Miss Ble witt with seducing him, and she allowed the seduction was the other way. The brothers of the girl took her home and kept her under strict surveillance.—Gilbert could not see her, and wrote letters appointing meetings, etc. Finally he was given to understand that he could see his inamorato at a certain hour of the night.—He approached the house, a precon certed signal having been given, when one of the infatuated girl’s brothers shot him, with buckshot through the body, but not danger ously wounding him. He ran off to a cottage bard by, but the inmates knowing him would not admit him, so he was obliged to seek suc cor elsewhere. A kinsman denied him admit tance to his innocent home, but took him to his (Gilbert’s) house. The brother who shot him is under arrest, and Gilbert is trying to get well promising to shoot the whole tribe of Blewitts. —Bnffah Com menial. 2. 3. 4. 22 28 35 6 8 4 2 10 10 4 12 12 12 4 8 8 A White Slate.-Tlic Bangor (Maine) Union, in entering upon the third year of its existence, says of itself: “It hast never faltcrd in its support of the Administration of that noble old patriot, James Buchanan. To all Democratic Administrations it will be equally faithful and true. We pledge this in advance, for we have full faith in the in fallibility of the Democratic party, and, so far as Democratic Administrations are concerned, we believe that there applies to them the old maxim, ‘The King can do no wrong.’ ’’ The above paragraph presents a lamentable illustration of the American system of pension ing the newspaper press. There is no creed too monstrous for this miserable slave to ac cept ; and his case is by no means a singular one. A large portion of the press of the coun try, which is kept in existence by the patron age of the party in power, is equally prostitu ted, and equally ready to advocate any abomi nation, whether it be the supremacy of the Pope, the revival of the slave trade, or the polygamy of the Mormons. declared duly nomina- Jlen was declared duly The press is a queer institution.

Dear Sir : As I presume many of yourreaff era will expect to see the particulars of the Trotting Match mentioned “local col umn” two weeks ago, I send you herewith a short account of the race. The “Hawley Course” is situated in that part of Corning known as Knoxville, This af ternoon between four and five o'clock the par ties came upon the ground as advertised. The track which is elipticaTln shape and under fa- ; vorable circumstances a very good was heavy from the recent rains, but otherwise in good condition. There were less than one thou sand persons on the ground,’ Mansfield and Wellsboro being well represented. Col. Bostwick, C. C. B. Walker and John Buhner having been chosen judges, the horses were brought to the score and started. No time bets were offered, and but little betting on relative speed. Pat McLaughlin drove “Sum merville” and A. J. Gilbert drove “Blackjack.” First Heat . —Black Jack having the inside on going off made a dash ahead of Summer ville and succeeded in getting the advantage of a couple of lengths, the driver of Summer ville trailing him to keep out of the road, till they got around the upper turn, when Summer ville began to crowd him, till about halfway down the back stretch. Here Black Jack broke and the sorrel took the lead which he kept, steadily increasing the distance between them until they got on the home stretch when Black Jack made a desperate effort to regain lost ground and again lost his feet, the sorrel com ing in winner by a dozen lengths. Time—first half mile, 1.34; mile, 3.06 Second Heat. —Summerville took the inside. On getting the word Summerville took the lead and kept it during the heat, winning it and the race. Time—half mile, 1.35 ; mile, 3.07. Both horses were in excellent condition and were well handled. The following is a summary of the contest Hawlet Course, Consntc, N. T„ Aug. 25, 1859. Premium $2OO.
