I f>ress on Grow** lettar. [We continue, this wcC|k to give more ex tracts from- the leading newspapers of the coun try in regard to the course of our Member of Congress.—Bd. Agitator.] [ rrom-the Lewisburg Chronicle. The reply of lion. Galusha A. Grow to the challenge of an insolent Carolinian, on account of words spoken in~ debate in defence of the Constitution and of the rights of the people, thrills the hearts of good men everywhere! When' a Northern Member of Congress—in stead of weakly yielding (tvs did Gilley and Broderickl to a supposed galling necessity to commit a crime stamped with the condemna tion of the human and divine lav.’—takes the patriotic, courageous, manly and religious view of the custom which Mr. Grow has, it indicates progress in the right direction. We think Mr v Grow is not a church member, but it Is evident! that he has not forgotten his childhood’s pious instructions, and that Christian influences have a permanent bold upon Idm. His vivid recog nition of the laws of his own State, and of the body-of which he is a Member, also shows the sterling integrity and honestyLof the man. In this event, he has displayed high moral courage —a nobler and better quality chan mere animal —a quality, too, much needed in , our day and time. Mr. Grow’s life is not his -own. lie owes it to his widowed mother—to his generous and confiding constituents—to Ids na tive and adopted State—and above all to the' great cause of Free Soil, Free Labor and Free Homes. Let Idm and all others maintain the sound and honorable position he has taken, and the lurrid barbarism of duelling will soon become extinct, and t.he duelist will be execu ted like iutv other assassin. From tto Wu?li. Cor. of the N. Y. Independent. Mr. Grow replied to the challenge very firmly and courageously that he had not a word to re- ' tract—that he did not recognize the code of the , dnollo—bih that ho was ready at all times to i meet an assault, lie went freely about the , city yesterday and to-day,-and it was expected by his friends that ho would be attacked by ; Branch ; certainly a dozen opportunities were ; given, as Mr. Grow wished it to he distinctly I understood that he was not to be intimidated 1 by any Southern bully in Congress. . I think the entire people of the Free States will give Mr. Grow their unqualified praise for his moral courage in refusing to accept the challenge, lie is a brave, fearless, almost reck - man in his courage, and no fear of personal consequences would deter him one moment trom going upon the field. I* was the simple and earnest belief that to participate in a duel is to commit murder in the sight of God and nil good and just: men, that deterred him from rm acceptance of the challenge, and he has ex hibited a much higher degree of moral courage in declining the challenge than ho would of phyMcal courage if he had accepted it. Elder Nelson of Tennessee, a righteous old man, sev eral days ago, when addressed in menacing language by Pryor, a duelist, declared frankly that he did not acknowledge the code, but would defend himself in and out of the House. r 4 -. h“po that at li‘t duelling is getting one of fashion, oven in Washington, and that Fniigion and Civilization will soon drive it from the land. Fro-a the Cor of tho Chiccg** Journal. I regard Galusha A. Grow, of Penn., as one of the strongest, if not the ablest man on tho republican side. He is a tall man, of about o 5 years of age. But a few grey hairs have crept in amon; his glossy black hair, -while his whiskers and well-formed moustache are as black as the r iron’s wing. He is about 5 ft. 11 un.bch high, ratbor jslim, but straight as an arrow. Hi*'oppressive face indicates culture and thought, and his sharp black eyes, denote spirit and intellect, and though ho has not yet addressed the House at length, yot what be has ••aid evidences a strong mind, a fearless hea.*t, i and a dtep devotion to principle, while his clear • tunes easy and distinct enunciation, and une-1 qulvocal language, command the attention and 1 carry conviction to his auditors. He is a skill- ' ful tactician, thoroughly acquainted with Par- 1 baracDtary law and ttc rules of the House, and 1 his points of order are always well taken and ; Mi-t..inc-d by the best authorities. Jle is gen tlemanly 1.>3 intercourse with members of the llous and is much feared by the Democ racy, as ho never speak* at random, but always hits the mark with vigoi and force which are irrcsistablo. But for the belief that his eleva tion to Iho Speaker’s chair would militate against the chances of Mr. Forney, from the same State, f»r the Clerkship, Mr. Grow would have been the Republican candidate fur Speak er. Still, lam glad that this line of policy re tains so able and fearless a leader and so elo quent and powerful a debater on the floor, a position he *s »o pre-eminently quabfied to gra^c.

Change U_bv all means, say we. Work I Republicans of Tioga; An avowal of right principles and your vote at the polls, are nut Ihc only duties you owe to your party. These duties on every proper occasion ought not to be neglected. But there are other duties of the utmost importance if you desire success. As we stated last week, the best method of promulgating true principles is through the in fluence of newspapers. A good Republican journal which finds its way into the family cir cle, wceklyqor oftoner, is worth more than a bushel of partisan speeches of tho ablest and best men in the country. These arc not with out their influence, but they are regarded as partizan appeals, and da little to remove the 1 prejudices of those who would be beuefilted by I their perusal if no prejudices existed. But the weekly newspaper educates its recipient often [ unconsciously to himsolf. Toleration for ad i verse opinions succeeds in bis (mind to the place bonce held by bitter prejudice; doubts as to the j soundness of his former opinions spring up, and are succeeded by convictions of Right on [ the right side. The Locofoco chrysalis, under > the influence of a steady light is thus often | transformed into a true and consistent Repub ‘ lican; while the glare and heat of an occasion al partizan speech would only have served to i hake his shell and make it harder than ever.

Over Two Hundred Thousand copies are now printed every week, a fact which shows that its value to the cause of Truth is appreciated by the peo ple everywhere.

Get up a club of five, ten, or twenty, , and the returns from your precinct next Fall 1 will convince you that vour labor was not in , j * vain Wo must confess to a degree of selfishness in thus urging the claims of tho Tihnnr. We have discovered that the Agitator has the most friends where tho Tribune circulates largely in this county. This only shows that men who read each week a compend of tho news of the world will not be satisfied unless they can got the local news of their own county. Take the Tribune yourselves and work for its circulation. The Legislature. The news from Harrisburg is not interesting. On the lOih inst., the Speaker announced the Standing Committees. Wc notice that Mr. Williston has a place on the Committees on the General Judiciary, and on Banks, ho being Chairman of the latter. This position will afford him an excellent opportunity of making another effort to secure for the people of this State a healthy Free Backing System—an op portunity which, wc trust, will not be lost. Our other member Mr. Mann has a place on the Committee of Wavs and Means, and also on the Local Judiciary Committee. On the IGth inst., Eli Slifcr was elected State Treasurer over John W. Maynard. Mr. Henry K. Strong, of Philadelphia, on Tuesday offered joint resolutions in the House, setting forth, in the preamble, the disastrous operation; of the present revenue laws of tho General Government and declaring an immedi ate alteration of those laws to be imperatively necessary, to the cod that confidence may be restored, the treasury replenished and the ex port of more than $70,000,0(10 in gold annually, be prevented. The resolutions instruct the Congressional delegation of the State to put forth every effort, hy vote and influence, to procure such a revis ion and modification of the tariff as shall "prevent the excessive importation of foreign products, secure to American labor and enter prise an ample reward.” From Washington.

A Telling 1 Article. The Drift of the Opposition Sentiment in Baltimore. — A National Republican Conven tion embracing Republicans, Members of the People's Party of Penn’a. ( Members of the Opposition Party of New Jersey. And all others, who are willing to co-operate in support of the candidates, then and thore to he nominated for President and Vice President, has been officially called to assemble at Chicago on the 13th of June, 1800—delegates from each Congressional District, and four from the State at largo, are to constitute the representatives. The basis on which this convention is called, according to the terms of the notilication, is Opposition: u l. To the policy of the present Administra tion ; 2. To Federal corruption and usurpation : 3. To the extension of slavery in tho Terri- tories ; 4. To the new and dangerous political doc trine that the Constitution, of its own force car ries slavery into tho Territories of the United Scutes 5. To the ro-opening of the African Slave- Trade ; 6. To any inequality citizens; 7. *Vnd who arc in favor of the admission of Kansas under the constitution recently adopted by its people ; * Of restoring the federal Administration to a system of rigid economy, and to the prin ciples of Washington and Jefferson ; 0. Of maintaining inviolate the rights of the States, and defending -tho soil of every State and Territory from Ijiwlass invasion ; 10. And of preserving the integrity of the Union, and the supremacy of the Constitution and laws passed in pursuance thereof, against the conspiracy of the loaders of a sectional party to resist the majority principle as estab lished by this government, even at the expense of its existence.” The first ground of opposition, it seems to us, would have been all sufficient, and had we had the authority, we would have limited the call to this comprehenshe proposition, for it is broad enough to combine all the elements of hostility to the ruling dynasty, which is little more than an expression in itself of every con ceivable sort of mal-administration and heresy against the Constitution and our institutions ns established by the fathers. Cut as the authors of the call have deemed it wise to amplify somewhat, let us look into those specification's, and see what they really moan. Every one will understand the first and sec ond specifications. Open and unblushing cor ruptions and usurpations constitute the very existence of the Administration policy, and the only way to save our institutions from positive and final destruction is to drive the dynasty out of power with a universal shout of indig nation. It has earned the wages of political sin, and nothing remains but to discharge the obligation. Bet it he consigned speedily to the political death that it merits. The third and fmrtb propositions, It will be seen embrace good old Henry Clay whig doc trines on this subject. He was utterly opposed to the extension of slavery into free Territories, and said, he would sec his right arm drop from hi& shoulder, before he would lift in support of any such policy. And though the black heresy that the Constitution plants slavery by its own' inherent power in the Territories, had not yet reared its black head distinctly above the hori zon, yet Mr. Clay foresaw it, and mot it on a hundred occasions, in his public speeches di -1 rectly and indirectly, with withering denuncia tions and irresistible demonstrations of its un soundness. But we arc content to rest the falhcy of this outrageous doctrine upon the Hon. Kevcrdy Johnson’s recent arguments against it. Inspired with the principles of the great American master of political economy, at' whose feet he sat for so many years, with such eminent distinction to himself and his teacher, he loaves the heretic at the head of the govern ment, and his Attorney Black, not an inch of ground to stand upon. Well may the Chicago Oppositionists call for a Union, in support of these indestructible principles. AVe know of no Opposition man in the whole country, who will refuse to sustain these propositions. The 6th specification is one that every Amer ican citizen ought to approve by his vote and his acts. It is a timely assertion of the right of every foreign-horn citizen to be protected by the whole power of the Government, should he chance to return to the country of *his birth, or when he is traveling abroad. He is entitled to as much protection as a native born citizen, dr he has been made a citizen without reserva tion..'" Xo more shameful EcClerc letters, we hope, will ever emcnate from the State Depart uient, let the Secretary be who he may. There must ho no more inequality in the rights of cit izens, when they are in foreign countries. AVe must either assert the entire right of a foreigner to absohe himself from military allegiance, i which is a political duty, or surrender it at once. Justice to our naturalized citizens de mands action on tills subject, and this issue should bo boldly made next fall. Xo man in the Opposition to the corrupt dy nasty at Washington, can bo so perverse as to disagree to the proposition against reviving the African slave trade, or that in favor of admit* ting Kansas, and getting her out of the way; or that of bringing back the government to a system of honesty ami rigid economy. If there be any such man, he ought to go over to the enemy at once. The ninth specification is a bold assertion of Gov. Wise’s extreme doctrine on this subject, and the party or parties that will stand by this resolution cannot fail to win the respect, if not the support, of even Southern fire-eaters. This is marching straight up to the requirements, which from day to day wc have boon pointing out as necessary to the preservation of our in terstate relations. Mr, Buchanan can see no power in the Constitution to authorize hun tn put a ht"p t*j lawless invasions of the States and Terutorio.q except upon terms, the execu- NTY AGITATOR. tion of which is almost impossible. The Chi cago Oppositionists propose to inaugurate the exercise of this power as a constitutional one, which it is the duty of the. President to resort to whenever the occasion rises, let the invasion come from what quarter it may. We arc glad to see that our Northern brethren stand upon no idle distinctions. The tenth proposition is well taken. It meets a new state of things. It strikes, right at the root of Abolitionism, that spits upon tho Con stitution and refuses to bow to the will of ma jorities. It deals a stunning blow to the con spiracies of that Disunionism which has found some forty advocates on the floor of Congress . within the present month. Every Unionist everywhere will not fail to welcome this ex pression of hostility to such a revolutionary spirit, from the Northern and Western Opposi tion parties. It can bo responded to by the whole Southern Opposition, as sound doctrine. Though the call of this Convention was made by the Republican National Committee, it must not be forgotten, that the extension of the invi tation to the other two parties, mentioned by name, was made at the express desire of their representatives in Congress, so that, in thus opening the door to these parties, as well as to all others who may be willing to co-operate upon the basis set forth, the Convention divests itself of an exclusively Republican cast, and becomes to that extent a National Opposition one. It remains to be seen how the invitation will be responded to. FROM THE PEOPEE. Fur the Agitator. Widdlchury “All Right” for 1860. Agreeably to a previous notice the Republi cans of -Middlcbury met at the Briggs School House, Saturday eve., Jan. 21, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be suppoated at the ensuing election, and re-organizing ouv club of ISSG. Every School District in the township was well represented and they all faithfully be lieve in the motto that “tee must strike itown the allies of Slavery everywhere.’’ Xot a jot or tittle of the fire of ’56 has abated. Once more our boys are ready to put on the armor of Right to fight against misrule and usurpation. To show you something of our spirit I send you a copy of the preamble to our Constitution * which was adopted unanimously: AVe, the citizens of Middlebury, being op posed to the “Powers that Be”—to that power which now sits enthroned in the executive, sen atorial and judicial departments of our govern ment—to that power which has robbed the! free men of Kansas of their dearest" rights now assorts the new and unheard of doctrine that Congress shall pass stringent laws for the protection of chattel slavery in our national Territories:—which would wrest Cuba from Spain for the solo purpose of extending the area of-human bondage—which now is strug gling to rc-open the African slave-trade, which long since has been pronounced to be piracy by all Christian powers —which fully endorses the extrajudicial opinion of Mr. Justice Taney in the case of Dred Scott, which opinion asserts that black men have no rights which white men are bound to respect—which declares that neither Congress nor the people can prevent the introduction of Slavery into free Territory —which declares that they will dissolve this Union in case a President, elected by w majority of our freemen in a fair and constitutional man ner, holds convictions in opposition to theirs, do ordain and establish this the Republican Club Xo. 1. -r-ii Officers elected : J.

Our Club at present will meet once in four weeks, and an effort will be made to place be fore every voter of Middlebury, documents set ting truthfully l forth the corruption, inconsist ency and impotency of the present administra tion. Should there not be a County Republi can Club? Could it not be organized at Feb ruary Court? Respectfully, To show that the factious obstinacy of the I parties opposed to the Republicans is even con fessed by their own organs to be the cause of the non-organization of the House, we append the following from the AA’ashington States, (Dem ocratic) : “In tactics it must bo confessed that we arc no match for our opponents. They have pur pose, while we resort to make-shifts. Their ‘candidate is just as fresh iu the esteem of his supporters now as when ho entered the arena. Ours, eminent as were his qualifications, was forced to retire, in order that inconsiderate ex periments might be tested. South American diplomacy was at the bottom of it, and South American diplomacy has succeeded in getting the Democracy into such confusion that there 'is but little hope that it will ever regain the position which it attained on the first day of the session. There were perhaps no less than twen ty Democratic members who believed that they could be elected by the odds and ends which Mr. Bocuok failed to unite. Delusive expecta tion I But it had the effect to influence the over sensitive A'irginian to voluntarily withdraw his weighty name from the contest. All has been ebaijs in our ranks, and so will likely re main until the plurality rule shall bo adopted, when Jqhn Sherman will speedily be conducted to the Speaker’s chair. But when will that oc cur, our anxious readers will inquire? Ah 1 that we cannot answer. It must be weeks—it may be months. But alas I it is inevitable. The Disunionists.— During the debated in the House of Kepresentatives at Washington, more than a dozen Southern Democratic Mem bers of Congress, have threatened to dissolve the Union, if neijessary to sustain Slavery. Not a single Northern Democrat has dared to re buke those treasonable speeches. But Demo crats and fossil Americans in the free States are now professing great love fur the Union, by holding meetings to denounce John Brown’s visionary project, and yet have no words to cen sure their Members of Congress, who sit quiet ly in their seats while disunion sentiments are boldly avowed by their slaveholding follow-mem bers. As a sample, we copy an extract from a speech made some weeks since in Congress, by Jjon. Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi It is us follows:— *• Wc will have extension of Slavery in the Union or outside of it. .The South have made up their minds to sustain Slavery. » We don't intend to be prescribed by present limits, and it will be in power of the JTorth to coerce the 9,000,000 of freemen at the South with arms in their hands, and prevent them (joint/ into ihc-siu - rounding Territories .
