An American Conger Silled in Genesee V ... poantj’—lmmense For. some tvro or three.jears past, the. sheep* pastures of Genesee County and the whole neighborhood of Tbnawanfia Swamp have been subject to the depredation of some jnuttor-loving animal, and the farmers have sustained serious losses thereby. The mischief was attributed to the dogs, anJ.those exemplars and emblems of fidelity were brought into serious disrepute. .‘Spprtsjnen in that locality, however, bad ob tained glimpses, at ’ night, of some powerful •creature, which always evaded their shot, terri fied the dogs, and escaped in the darkness,— Stories of some wild animal of the panther species-were related to incredulous people, who laughed at tbo reports brought by hunters re turning from nocturnal sports in tbo fyreat.— Lost Winter, however, traces were discovered in. the snow, which were supposed by those not very well posted in natural history to be those of a bear. The creature was never traced to his lair, and the matter had nearly passed into tradition. On Tuesday night, a party of 'coon hunters verified the stories, which had been current in the neighborhood of Batavia for months past, about the existence ifi the swamp* of a- huge Panther or Cougar, which preyed npon-the sheep-folds thereabout. When about fourteen miles from Batavia, in the Tonawanda JSwamp, they came upon tbe Cougar, who was perched upon the limb of a tree. He bounded away on their approach, but was followed closely by the dogs, who were at one time rongbly handled, and incited to the chase with some difficulty, and again took refuge in a tree, and rested upon a limb some thirty feet from the : ground. The cougar had become very much enraged, and his eyes almost shamed the brightness of the torches borne by the hunters. Rifles were soon* brought, and three bullets were shot into him. Two took effect in the head, and the cougar dropped to the ground and was soon dispatched. He was found to measure eight feet from the extremity of his powerful paws to the end of his tail, and his weight was 147 pounds. The captors of this animal brought the carcass into their village in triumph, and it was for some time a spectacle of rare interest in that locality. The*o creatures arc not found in this locality once in twenty years. "Whether this one was a solitary specimen or not, is not yet known, lie was quite fat, and his forearm was as large as that of n strong man. A gentleman from this city saw this trophy of the chase brought in hy the proud hunters. —Rochester Democrat, S*7>/: 9. i A Frkk-rocv Womax, Tex Years a Slave, Uscaves.- —The Toronto Globe gives an account of the perils of Sarah Jane Giddinga, alias Young, who, about a month since, while at the Falls, concluded to leave her mistress* service, and •fled across the river to Canada. Her mas ter, not disposed to part with his “property” (a likely and fine-looking mulatto woman, twenty-two years of age) in this manner, fol lowed Sarah Jane to the Clifton House, where she obtained employment, and attempted to induce her to return with him. Sarah Jane fells her story to the editor of the Globe, as follows: On Saturday Mr. Shears [her landlord] re quested Sarah Jane to go to one of the cotta ges adjoining the Hotel, for the purpose of cleaningit out, accompaning her himself to the door. As soon as she entered she found to her great amazement, her old master waiting to receive her. He immediately locked the door, and putting the key in bis pocket , plied every possible art to induce her to cross the river. Every offer, however, was rejected, the girl pre ferring ber freedom to slavery, with all its promised advantages. Ho kept her here for trome time, refusing to let her go, threatening violence, if necessary. Fortunately some of the colored waiters noticed that all was not right, and, after receiving no satisfaction from Mr. Shears, to whom they communicated their fears, they resolved on rescuing their friend themselves. Sallying out, they broke the win dow, entered the room, and carried off their prize, taking her to Brummondville, where they kept her till Monday, and sent her off to to Toronto. The Globe says she arrived safe ly in that city, and will, no doubt, bo perfectly secure. It was reported that her master was at the Uossin House, and some of her colored friends were on the lookout for the gentlemen. She is quite destitute having left everything be hind her, but she will not want friends in her new home. Her case is a very peculiar one. She was born of a free woman, in New York city, but when twelve years of age was taken to Texas, whore she was made a slave in the family of Mr. Giddings, with whom, we believe, she has since lived. She longed for freedom, she says, and it has been providentially ar ranged that she should at length gain the boon.” Tho Cleveland Medical Gazette contains an account of the most enormous tumor on record. The weight was about twice that of the Offerer who bore it, and was estimated at 179 pounds. For the last four dr five years of the patient’s life she was rigorously confined to her bed, being wholly unable to sustain for a moment the standing posture. During the greater part of the time, however, her appetite and diges tion were good, and all her functions were well performed.

Is modern Democracy a principle ? The ed itor of the Bradford Serald so declares. “We ‘ sometimes run into errpr because we do not ‘ understand the ‘wires,’ he naively adds. Wo disagree with him there.' Principle is not a puppet; it is not a thing to danoe and bow at the will of gome showman holding the wires be hind the scenes. It is not a skeleton, to be ta ken apart and pat together by political doctors. Principle, if it is anything, is a rule beyond the power of man to modify or amend. \ 4 In fact/ says he in a Micawberish burst of confidence, ‘in all things, principle should be ‘ regarded as sacred, because we are guided by * it as a sacred institution, instituted by the au thor of all things, for the promotion of and * nearer approximation to His universal laws/ Now this definition of is as lucid as the Cass exposition of the rights of adopted cit izens—as clear as mud. We had been taught that principles were themselves in the nature of laws, rather than as the bridges from Mandom to the realm of universal law. The world will please stand corrected. I We do not feel scru -4 puloua if we judiciously follow principle.” We had supposed that none but eminently scru pulous men did judiciously follow principle. That men cannot adhere to the principle of the modern democratic party, being in the least de gree scrupulous, we can readily admit. That party is made up of unscrupulous politicians. Its chief men would not recognize principle in the broad glare of noon. Yesterday they as serted the rights of the people of a Territory to legalize a system of stupendous wrong. To day they'assert the right of Congress to force the sßme people to accept such a system against their will. We agree with the editor that the advocates of such principles os obtain with hia patty are not at all troubled with healthy scru ples. Not in the least. The world stands cor rected. Our contemporary now grows solemnly pa thetic and moves through the melancholy ca dence of blank verse. ‘ A man,’ says he, ‘bad ‘ better return to clay, if he cannot find some ‘ thing that interests him, in his own dear coun ‘ try, that needs some individual notice!’ We think he had. “Lives there a man with soul so ‘ dead, who never to himself hath said—this is ‘my own, my native land V ’ —to which the words of the Roman assassin may bo appropri ately added— ‘ if any, speak 1 for him have X of fended !' In view of this possible wickedness he indignantly continues: ‘ Shame on a man ‘ who cannot appreciate the motives of the hal ‘ lot-box It is said that poets always person ify inanimate things. Bryant makes the trees talk; Shakspeare finds ‘ books in the running * brook, sermons in stones,’ and hints at giving 1 to airy nothing a local habitation and a name.’ But it was reserved for our contemporary to blend the imagination of the poet with the sa gacity of the metaphysician, and to discover motivee in a batloi-box ! With a parental ten derness for new things and new discoveries, we ask to be excused from entertaining so absurd a belief without ocular proofs. We admit that packages of votes have been discovered in bal lot-boxes under democratic auspices, even be fore legal voting commenced; hut ‘nary motive’ has yet been found therein to our knowledge. There may bo 'motives’ behind stuffed ballot boxes, quite likely. From pathos he ascends to the lugubrious. ‘ The pangs of danger may be engrafted on the * nation’s good !’ he cries. Bosh ! who ever heard of ‘the pangs of danger’ ? and who ever heard of ‘engrafting’ a pang upon anything ? Our suffering friend is distraught with grief. We deprecate as much as he can the engrafting of pangs upon ‘the nation’s good.’ Cursed bo he that dares to so much as ‘bud’ the nation’s good. It might be well to vaccinate politicians* so os to modify the contagion of official rascal ity. That might do very well. This and much more saith the aforesaid ed itor, but to follow him farther may not he prof itable. But these, such as they are, are the notes of preparation for the fight of 1860. The hypocritical whining and the crocodile tears of 1856 are to be brought into requisition once more; knaves will be busy with their ‘our own dear country’; the army of Union savers will muster from the purlieus of the cit ies, and the appointees of Mr. Buchanan will arouse into slavish activity. The moral of this is; The same reckless and wicked foe is to be met that we met in 1856, and whoever neglects to prepare for the struggle a single day longer,, will certainly me it, and hittsrly, too, in'the hour of trial.'

TTOCU COUNTY AGITATOR., Muscie—again ! — When, last weejc, we'took occasion td pay our feeble tribntje of admiration to King .Muscle, we little thought the occasion for another eulogy would so soon present itself. It is not probable that that article came under | the eyes of Mr. Frank MoCabs r broprietor of-*- , liquor-cellar somewhere in Broadway, New- York; nevertheless, that highly respectable 1 gentleman did, on the very dajj that our said eulogy wag indited, enter the office of the Dai ly News, of thnt-city, and proceed to inquire ns to the authorship'of a scertain article reflecting upon the character of the said I IcCabe, which article was published in the saitl paper. Upon being referred to the chief edito ■ of that jour nal, Mr. McCabe approached lim and quest ioned him as to the uncomplimentary articles. The editor had scarcely replied when the bold Mr, McCabo lifted his cane and struck the man of letters to the floor, and with admirable pres ence of mind proceeded to cudgel his prostrate foe. Having redeemed his character in the temporary downfall of truth an ! decency, the gallant MoCabe joined bis friends at the door, perfectly restored in honor and vastly improved in the esteem of all loyal subjects of King Muscle. It may be here stated |that the editor was dangerously injured. j Of course there will be differences of opinion in regard'"to the propriety of beating unarmed men with clubs for opinions’s sake; and men sometimes change their views touching these trifling proprieties. For instancej: 'When Bully Brooks butchered Charles Sumner, the editor l » of the Kacs wrote Brooks down a hero. He opined that clubs were proper arguments with which to put down Black Republicans. Now that the argument is brought homo to him he opines that none but cowards resort to such vi olence. Such was our opinion from the first, and such it is to-day. Such we! find to be the opinion of Republicans generally ; but the de mocracy of these days thinks otherwise. Oc casionally, as in the present case, a complete revolution in opinion is effected! in some club law champion under the operation of the law, personally applied. The growing frequency of these cudgelings is the proper fruit of the lau dation of Bully Brooks by deimoratic editors and apologizers. You sowed the wind; go, reap the whirlwind ; and may y mercy than you showed unto otters Friends, barely throe weeks remain between us and the day of election. Are| all your neigh bors assessed ? If not, do not ferget that such must be assessed at least ten days before the election. Sec to it that no votes are lost to the ticket by that neglect. Need it be said to any inWligjent Republican that it is of the greatest importance that the Republican State ticket should triumph in the approaching election ? The election this fall is to exert great influence for good or evil upon the campaign of next year, and it is not the part of wisdom to overlook thiji fact. Above all, it behooves us all to be vigilant and active from this hour onward. Count that man a foe to freedom who would create dissensions in our ranks, and lend no ear to the counsels of men who would sacrifice everything “or private gain. This is not a time to indulge in local quarrels. Leave a single point undefended and the serv ants of James Buchanan will find it. Even now they are on the alert, seanhing our defen ces narrowly, hoping for dissension and a wea kening of the lines in some quarter, that they may rob us of a portion of the victory that lies ■within our grasp. They hope for nothing in a fair fight except unconditional defeat; and if you go into the battle with one mind, your seventh battle for Freedom must result in vic tory not less complete and glo ious than those in yonr past. He wins who works! The mission of the beautiful ends not with the departure of summer. Tie death of its flowers but precedes their resurrection into new and yet more varied forms of beauty. A week since and the landscape lay shrouded in autumn mists, the skies bent tearfully over, habited in mourning garments of equinoctial gloom, and the east wind crooned over the bier of summer like a lost spirit. To-day field and wood shine with a mild radiance reflected jfrom skies whoso blue recals the early days of June. The air is balm.

FROM THE PEOPLE. For the Agitator. • “Popular Sovereignty.” Much ado is now being made regarding the above doctrine first conceived by Cass, fall de veloped by Douglas, and which to-day stands before the American people as one of the most beautiful humbugs of this age, and when stripped of the sophistry which has been thrown around it by its friends—the false eloquence which has been spent in its favor, it stands be fore the world a great cheat, by which wily politicians would dope the masses of this Coun try. - Being conceived in iniquity, the repeal of the lino of 1820, has been followed by its legitimate friends as the modern robbery, and arson which has rendered Kansas a bye-word for the lost four years can amply testify. The arguments used by the friends of this bill were of a two fold nature. They were in direct conflict.—- One was in favor of the Kansas Nebraska act, because it would benefit the South, another be cause it would benefit the North. Northern men advocated the removal of the line of 1820, because it left the slaveholder free to carry his slaves into any of the Territories of this Union. With some, it was favorable to the extension of Slavery, with others it was favorable to the growth of freedom under the guiseof [(‘Popular Sovereignty.” And the double dealing which characterized the early life of this dogma, has followed it thus far in its career. I shall not stop to expose here its many fallacies—to show its overturning of precedents of a half century etanding—that it violates the plain and unmis takable doctrine held by every president down down to the reign of Polk—that it violates the life-long usage of the Democratic party —that its followers have given the lie to their whole political lives—that it dates its existence back no farther than 1848. These things are patent to the world. But a corollary which followed the doctrine of “Popular Sovereignty” bids fair to engulf its northern friends in a nice family difficulty. They told us in ’54 that “non-inter vention” followed the Douglas-Cass doctrine of the power of Congress over the Territories as a natural consequence—that Congress possessed no power concerning the question of slavery, and that our fathers since 1787, had been legislating upon that question in direct violation of the Constitution. They told us, in effect, that in some countries slavery was not only necessary but rigid. That the cotton and rice plantations of the south could not be tilled except by slave labor. Even the Bible was ransacked to give its influence in favor of tho Southron’s god!! Its advocates, to day, claim it to be a heavenly and divinely inspired institution. They claim themselves to be Humanitarians of the first water, and are now turning the arguments of the “Squatter Sovereignty” against them with a vengeance. Say they, (the extremists) if Sla very is right—if wo are but elevating man in the scale of being, why confine the buying of our students to Maryland and Virginia? Why not allow us to extend our labor of love to the coast of Africa ? Why oblige us to pay Virginia $lOOO for every Slave we christianize when we can procure them in tho East for $100? Why limit us ? You told us, that wo were but doing God’s holiest, and noblest work. If that be true, why not give us room to extend our hu manizing efforts ? And to-day they are openly and boldy urging the re-opening of the African slave trade. __Yes, more than that, Slavers are almost daily arriving at Southern ports, loaded with their cargoes of human souls which are hurried off into the country, and never heard of more. And the strong arm of government is powerless to arrest this heaven-defying, hell deserving traffic. And though tirrje and again, men have been exposed in this execrable business, none have been brought to justice. Now it appears to me that our “National” men find fault with the slave trade with an ill grace. If slavery is a good thing, the more,we have of it the better. If it tends to elevate the enslaved, why not give the ignorant sons of Af rica a chance of enjoying the blessings of Lib erty ? Do not their arguments clash when they pronounce Slavery to be a beautiful patriarchal institution, and in the same breath denounce its chief promotion. Can they reconcile their po sitions hero ? As this is the age of, Herculean feats, perhaps they may, bull pause for a reply. Jlfiddlebury, Sept, 23d '59. Prank. in receive more Mb.
