Hcaa Yoono. fisj. f Perhaps to your numer

tire proceedings at the State Capitol May not
he wholly wanting in interest, although from a
fresh pern
So far this Winter, not os much business has
been transacted as during the last ’ year's ses
sion J and one has but to look for the evidence
of this in the nmnber'of bills reported by Com
mittees, and now on file in the House, and Sen
ate. But ninety bills have as yet been passed
upon by Committees in the House, and in the
Senate only eighty-two:—while up to this date
las If year there -were nearly three hundred in
the two bodies.
This state of things seems to indicate that
legislative business will be limited, and seems
also to suggest the idea, that the present session
will bo a short one. Mr. Burley, of Blair, has
offered a resolution already, to adjourn by the
first of March. The organization of Congress,
with Mr. Pennington as Speaker, may, perhaps,
put a new face upon these matters. Money
will be more plenty, and the people conse
quently more inclined to invest it in legislative
enterprises. Doubtless the election of ‘-the sa
gacious Pennington” is a subject of congratu
lation and rejoicing among the Republicans of
Tioga, os elsewhere.
On Monday the 23d of January, the Hon.
member from your'place presented a petition
from the National Woman's Rights Convention,
“ to secure to women all those rights, privile
“ ges, and immunities, which, in reality, belong
“to every citizen of a republic.” It was re
ferred to a special committee of one, and the
Chair appointed the gentleman from Tioga.
| Mr. Srcjead suggested that, as the gentleman
had been made a special committee to attend
to the wants of the women of Pennsylvania, •
his duties would be pressing and onerous. He
thought it ungenerous to ask him to do a thing
of that kind, and proposed.that the committee
consist of Ueclve additional members, so that
they might be able to meet the demands coming
in upon them. This was certainly timely, and
Uglily considerate, although we doubt not your
worthy representative would have been quite
equal to the trust.
In the Senate, a Bill has been considered au
thorizing the boring for oil beneath the bed of
the Allegheny river in Venango County. It
was, however, laid over, and probably will not
be passed. Tour exchanges have already. I
presume, noticed the quite remarkable discov
eries of coal oil in some of the Western counties,
which promise to bo a great source of wealth
to the people of that region.
iMr. Ilickuk, the State Superintendant of
Common Schools, is about to present to the
Legislature his annual report. It certainly in
dicates the efficiency of our present school sys
tem. The term of office of the present Super
intendant expires in June next, as also that of
his Deputy, John M. Sullivan. This is greatly
to be regretted, as they are possessed of much
experience and ability. In the report it is sta
ted that the whole number of schools, exclusive
of Philadelphia, is 11,405A' The increase since
last year being 200. The number of Teachers
in the State is 13,058. There are 1784 school
districts, of which 1071 have elected, and have
in use, a series of text books. It is advised
that the salaries of County Superintendents be
fixed hy law, ihoir election only boing left to
the directors, also an increase in the State ap
propriation for school purposes, as the Western
and Nprthern counties have suffered so much
from the early frosts of last Spring that they
are unable to contribute ae much as formerly
to the local school tax. The report is highly
interesting; and this is but a harried notice of
it. There is much in it to show the deep in
terest which Mr. Hiokok has taken in his Su
perintendance of the schools of the State, and
he has much reason to be gratified with his
success.
For the last tiro weeks we have had the blue
skies and soft airs of Spring ; but on Tuesday
night there was quite a fall of snow and the
weather has become extremely’ cold. On Mon
day evening n very large congregation had the
pleasure of hearing a sermon from Peter Cart
wright in the Methodist Church; and on the
next evening, Dr. Armitage delivered a lecture
on “the Women of the Revolution,” in the
Hall of the House of Representatives, for the
benefit of the Baptist Church. This is nil of
local interest for the present week.

Moral Before in Cherry Fiatts,
llugb Yocn'g, £sq. ; Our people arc getting
waked up oo the subject of Temperance and
Moral Reform, and I am greatly in hopes that
the character of our place will be redeemed
from the disrepute into which it has fallen on
account of the accursed Hum traffic, which has
been too long suffered to go unrebuked in our
midst. On Saturday evening last the inhabi
tants of this vicinity met at the Baptist Church
for the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety of organizing a Temperance Society.
On motion 11. J. Elliott was chosen President
of the meeting,' and 0. W. Elliott Secretary.
The President then introduced to the audience
Victor A. Elliott of this place, who delivered a
short address ; Subject, History of Whiskey.
After tho address, a pledge prohibiting drink
ing and swearing, was circulated, and fifty
names were immediately added; among the
number of those who pledged ihe’r word and
honor to abstain from all that can intoxicate.
I noticed several young men and boys whoihad
been accustomed to make too free a use of the
“flowing bowl." Initiatory steps were taken
f‘>r the formation of a Moral Reform Club, and
the President was Instructed to procure speak
ers for the public meetings of the Society,
This I thiuk is a move in the right direction.
The people seem determined to test the efficiency
of moral suasion and an enlightened public
sentiment in curing the evils of Rum drinking.

Thursday Morning., Feb. 9, jsco.
S. M. Pettenoux A Co., 119 Nassau St., New York, and 10

mos»t influential and largest circulating Newspapers in tl*o
United States and the Canadas. They art authorised to con*

The Republican State Convention to be held
at Harrisburg on the 22d of this month will be
a very important one in the political history of
Pennsylvania, and wo feel it to bo incumbent
upon us to say a few words in regard to its
action. In the absence of any expression of
our people through a County Convention, we
can only speak the voice of the people as we
have heard it, and we feel that we represent
truly the popular sentiment in the following
remarks;
The presses of our party in this State have
engaged very generally in a discussion of the
best method .of choosing delegates to the Re
publican National Convention at Chicago, one
side contending for their election by districts,
and the other side for their election by the
State Convention; So far as this county is con
cerned, cither method would amount practically
to the same thing—would, in fact, be attended
with the same result. It is true that different
raenmight be selected by the different methods,
but in either case the man chosen would be ex
pected to represent a large majority of the Re
publican voters and reflect truthfully their sen
timents on the two great questions to be dis
cussed at Chicago, namely, the Platform, and
the Man. Taking this view of tho matter we
are in favor of the election of the delegates by
the State Convention for the following reasons :
I. Because it accord* with the practice of
other States. New York, Ohio, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, lowa, Minnesota, and Illinois
will be'represented in the Chicago Convention
by delegations chosen by their respective State
Conventions. There may be other States from
which we have not yet heard, which will adopt
the same course. It seems, therefore, to be the
general custom, and with the great interests of
Pennsylvania at stake in the contest, she ought
not to be an exception to the rule.
11. The election of delegates by districts
would involve needless and unnecessary trouble
and expense. County Conventions would have
to be ciaUed fur this sole purpose in each
county ; conferences would have to be held em
bracing the several counties in each district,
and as these would be controlled by selfish end
designing politicians, the result would be none
the nearer a popular.expression than before.—
Take into account, also, the want of unanimity
and harmony which would prevail in many dis
tricts, caused not so much by the differences of
opinion among the people, ns by the aspirations
and ambitions of the class alluded to. If tho
people are truthfully represented in tho State
Convention there can be no danger to their inter
ests and wishes apprehended from the method
we advocate. If our delegates misrepresent us,
then we can hold them directly responsible.
111. The Pennsylvania delegation to Chi
cago ought to be a unit. Divided betweon two
or more candidates our State will be hopelessly
impotent and powerless. Now York.will go
solid for Seward; -Ohio will be undivided for
will be a unit for "Bates, Illi
nois fortmcQln, Maine for Fessenden and Mas
sachusetts for vVilson. Pennsylvania ought
therefore to be a unit for Cjkxsnoa. Our State
will be, as in 1856, the battle ground of tho
contest, and certainly those who hat© to bear
the brunt of the fight ought to have a potential
voice in tho choice of a loader. The people
all over our State have through their presses
and through their Conventions expressed their
choice of C-iJfSBoy. Tho name of Judge Head
in connection with the Presidency is now not
much heard outside of Philadelphia, and al
though thisgentlcman would do houdr to our
State, he does not possess the points (pf availa
bility everywhere acknowledge to be possessed
by Camerox.
IV. And lastly, the election of delegates by
districts in one State and by State Conventions
in another, is unequal, undemocratic, and we
think, unjust. The States named in the begin
ning of this article, have by their action shut
us out from any chance of electing delegates
in them favorable to our candidate, while, if we
should adopt the district system, they might
elect one or two men from ouriStato favorable
to their candidates. If all the States should
ur the AgUator.
adopt the district system we should not be te
nacisus in regard to it, as then our candidate
would not suffer by it. We wish to be fair and
to bo treated fairly.
—We trust that the delegates from this
county will weigh well these views arid act upon
them. We feel that in the selection of candi
dates for our State ticket, in the formation of
a Platform, and in the choice of delegates to
Chicago, Tioga County speaking through her
delegates will be as over on the aide of Free
dom, and Pennsylvania Interests, and will use
their best endeavors to create sod preserve
unity and harmony for the sake of these.
Mach depends in the coining campaign upon
the choice of candidates, State and National.
We arc not among those who believe that vic-
tory is certain under any circumstances, nor
are we among those who would rather be beaten
with Seward or Cameron than he triumphant
with Bates or BelL We believe that success is
a duly whiah w »we to the country, and that

The State Convention.
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
Wiluak Pennington, is Speaker of the
House of Representatives, having received 117
votes—a majority of all the votes cast. This
resultrvss indicated by the proceedings of Tues
day, when the Democracy dropped Mr. Shits,
of N. G., and rallied again on Mr. McClernand
of Illinois. Thus after a contest of over two
months, —unparalleled in the history of the
country, the Pro-Slavery Democracy has been
compelled to bite the dust again—in spite of
their threats' of disunion and disorganisation
unless one of their stripe was put in the Speak
er’s chair. For the past eight weeks the dis
union disorgdniscrs bars stopped the “wheels
of government" to blather about old John
Brown and Helper’s impending crisis. A
Speaker had to be elected before appropriations
could be made to carry on the government, and
they have been studying “how not to do it,” all
this time—and the “circumlocution office” un
der the control of the President who has been
giving them all the “aid and comfort in his
power. In the meantime the Republicans have
done little talking—but have stood firm, shoul
der to shoulder, voting in solid phalanx as ojio
man, every time, until their determined perse
verance baa been crowned with a glorious tri
umph over the sham Democracy,
The disunionists can now take breath and
have time to reflect over their rabid rantings
and foolish speeches. The next dose they will
have to swallow will be a much more bitter pill
to take—a Republican president.
—Tho organization of the House was com
pleted on Friday, tho 3d, by the election of For
ney, Clerk, and Hoffman, of Maryland, Ser
goant-at-Arms,
elected on Friday last, should
bear in mind that the Legislature, passed a law
providing that every person herafter elected to
the office of justice of the peace or alderman,
b'iull, within thirty days after the election, if he
ihtends to accept said office, give notice thereof
in writing to the prothonotary of the common
pleas of the proper county, who shall immedi
ately inform the secretary of the commonwealth
of said acceptance: and no commission shall
issue until the secretary of the commonwealth
has received the notice aforesaid.

COMPIUIENTABY SERENADE.
Speeches of Pennington and Grow.
A serenading party in honor of the election
of Speaker visited Mr. Pennington at Willard's
Hotel on the night of his election. Mr. Came
ron introduced Mr. Pennington vrho said:
“I am very much indebted to you, my friends,
for the pleasing visit you have made to me this
night. When we hear a national air, itjalways
satisfies me that we belong to one country, and
1 have no belief in the doctrine that the time is
near at hand, or can be, that we are to be sep
arated. (A voice—“ Three cheers for the South
ern Confederacy;” another voice, “Dry up.”)
We are one people, and I trust in Heaven we
shall over remain so. (Cries of “Good,” and
cheers.) There will always be, in a free coun
try like ours, diversities of opinion, different
views, and a great variety of interests which
must necessarily prevail; but there is a spirit
of patriotism that burns in our bsarts that will
not yet be extinguished. (Cheers.) Our land
is a land of freemen, our liberties were achieved
by the great exertions and services of our
fathers, and I believe no man in this generation
will let this blessed inheritance go to pleases.—
(Cries of “No, no,” “Never,” and cheers.) —
And if we do wrong at one time, you remember
the saying of Mr. Clay, that old patriot, when
lie went home to Kentucky after having voted
for the Compensation law ? On bcing addressed
by some old man. who said, “Clay, you have !
done wrong.” “Well,” says he, “My friend, I
if you were out gunning, and on pulling your
trigger, your gun didn't go off, what would you I
do ? Would you throw it away, or would you 1
try it over again “Nay,” said he, “I would ;
pick the flint and try it over again.” (Cheers.)
Now, if anything is done wrong in this country, |
a little time will make it right—(Cries of ?‘Hear
him” and cheers) —because we have a national
feeling and a national honor. (Cries of “Good,” ,
“That’s so,” and cheers.) When I heard the
national air played as you came in here to-night :
it went to my heart, and I said, as long as our
national songs remain this country will be uni
ted. (Cheers.) Discordant States! I think
no man in his sober senses can agree to any.
such proposition. (Cheers.) I tell you now,
there never was a greater mistake than to be-.
lieve that Northern men have any bad feelings
against Southern men—(Cries of “Good” and
cheers) —or tho body of Southern men against
Northern men. (A voice, "What about Uar- 1
per’s Ferry V) Never mind Harper’s Perry.
(Cries of “Put him out.”) My friends, that is
a nine days wonder. My friends, it always be-.
longs to republican institutions, that there must
be a great variety of public opinions upon all
questions, and our only security is to bear and
forbear, and the strength of our institutions i
depends upon love of country. (Cries of “Good”
and cheers.) And if we are not imbued with
patriotic feelings, there is no hope for the sta
bility of our country. (Cheers.) But my faith
is this: that we all love our country, and that
wo will abide by her destiny fur good or for
evil. (Cries of "Good” and cheers.) I thank
you for the high compliment which I feel you
have bestowed upon me by this visit. I am
glad the House is organized. If this organiza
tion had been effected by the selection of any
other gentleman perhaps it would have been
better, hut be assured I will endeavor to dis
charge the arduous duties of the high position
to which I have just been elevated ns best I can,
and to preserve this glorious Union intact.—
(Cheers.)
Tho serenade™ proceeded to the residence of
Mr, Grow who responded as follows:
“Fei.low CinzEys — I must of course regard
this very flattering notice not as a compliment
paid to mo os an individual, but to me as a rep
resentative of principles and measures cher
ished by so large a portion of the freeman of
the nation—(cheers)—those principles that were
engrafted by our fathers, upon the government
1 at its earliest formation, which underlie the
structure of our free government, and which
give to it vitality and success. We still main
tain those principles cherished by Washington
and Jefferson and the fathers of the republic,
and which are yet dear to the hearts of the'
1 present generation, and upon which those wisest
j and greatest of men established in this New
World a government in which all men were to
be regarded -in courts of justice as human be
ings, entitled to the protection of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. (Loud cheering.)
Having tef-day closed a long conflict uf mure
than eight weeks in a struggle to organize the
national Legislature, it is with feelings of pride
common not to os alone, hut millions of free
men in the States of this Union rejoice in the
result. Tha|t long conflict is to-day closed, so
far as organizing the legislature is concerned ;
but this conflict, fellow citizens, is not one of
sections, as has been represented—it is not a
conflict between the North and the South, or
between any other sections of this Union, but
it is a conflict as to an element of political econ
omy and the systems of labor existing in this
country. It is a conflict whether the unoccu
pied Territories of the Union shall be now, and
continue to be, the homos of the freemen—
whether they shall be dedicated and consecra
ted forever in free homes, for free men, or
whether they shall be occupied by a population
emigrating thence, not only from your own
States, but brought to this country from the
shores of Africa, by which the Territories shall
be filled up with a black slave population, in
stead of being the homes of white freemen.—
That is the conflict of to-day—(Cheers)—and
not a war of the sections of this Union. It is
a conflict on a principle of political economy,
and as to the system of labor th'at can best de
velopo the material interest of the country, and
foster its great industrial interests. (Cheers.)
The question of the day is, whether the men
who own their own labor, whoso daily toil is
the only means they have of obtaining a live
lihood and support for themselves and their
families, shall be the recipients of this great in
heritance, bequeathed by your fathers—whether
those who own their own labor are to occupy
the Territories of this Union, free from the dep
redation that contact with slavery everywhere
brings upon free labor, or whether they are to
bo occupied by those who own the labor of
others, and whose capital consists in the bones
and muscles of the laborer. This conflict be
tween the labor that owns itself and the capi
tal that owns it has caused this long strug
gle in Congress, and to-day shakes the political
elements of the republic. (Cheers. A voice—
“free labor forever; down with democracy.”)
Is it not a conflict between the States of this
Union, or the people of one section against the
people of another section ; but it is a conflict
of these two elements; and we ask the gov
ernment of the country, so far as it has consti
tutional power, shall wield that power in behalf
of the free labor of the North and the South,
and in behalf of the free labor of the world,
and that it shall dedicate the unoccupied Terri
tories of the Union to freedom, and to free
homes for free men. lam obliged to you, fel
low citizens, for this mark of your kindness
and respect, and receiving it ns tendered to the
principles of which I am a bumble advocate.
I bid you good night, wishing you all a long
and happy life.
The serenading party visited the residences of
Messrs. Sherman, Briggs and Hickman whose
speeches we will try and make room for next
week.
A Horrible Catastrophe.— l'ivc Children
Burned Tu Death. —Perhaps one of the most
awful and heart-rending caanaltics that ever
happened in our County occurred near Daven
port Center last Friday evening. Mr. Robert
Briggs, a farmer, residing near the village, to
gether with his wife, went in the afternoon to
visit some friends living at a distance of three
or four miles,"leaving at home sis children.
Two of the boys had been making shingles, in
one appartment of the house that afternoon,
and it is suposed when they retired for the
night that they left shavings around the stove,
from which originated the fire. The house be
ing situated at some distance from any other
dwelling, the fire was not discovered until it
was about consumed.—Five of the children,
three boys and two girls, were literally burnt to
ashes. One of the boys sleeping up stairs,
jumped out of a window and escaped unhurt.
It is said that so completely did the flames do
their work of destruction that a half bushel
would contain the fragments of bones gathered
from the whole dead.
The oldest of tbo children, was a young lady
of about eighteen years of age ; the rest were
from fourteen to eight. They undoubtedly did
not awake to a sense of their terrible situation
until perchance their couches were enveloped
in the flames, and then were suffocated in a few
moments by the smoke. —Franklin (Delaware
Co. t *V. K) Visitor, Feb . ls£.
A chap who has been up among the Chinook
Indians, says a San Francisco letter, has been
giving us a few items in regard to their habits
and manners, lie says that when a sick Indi
an is given over by the Medicine Man they .pro
ceed to bur}' him at once. It’s no use to make
a fuss about it—-they are bound to sod him.
lie says they took un old chap out and buried
him in spite of his struggles, and left him.
The next morning Mr. Indian appeared again.
Ho had scratched out, and at last accounts was
as good as new. How many poor devils would
scratch out if they could, is a matter of grave
conjecture.
A son of Col. Elijah Sebree, of Todd county,
Ky., was killed in the school house at Trent
on, a few days since. The boys of the school
had been practicing upon'the incredulity and
fears of one of their number, by inducing him
to believe that young Sebree had been making
threats against, and intended to kill him, where
upon the lad armed himself, and walked delib
erately up to Sebree in the school house and
shot him dead.
Sio’iriCANT.—A bill for the abolition of
slavery in Nebraska Territory passed both
branches of the Territorial legislature a few
days since. Gov. Black vetoed the bill. The
Governor is a native of Pennsylvania, and but
a few years ago was opposed to slavery, A fat
oQce sometimes works a great efiange in a

An agent soliciting subscriptions to Fleet
wood's “Life of Christ,” was recently tarred

he would cot play the flute in the procession.
George W. Bowman, of the Constitution, was
