propose to ask the chairman of the Commit
tee on Territories is this: if.the State of Kan
sas, when she is admitted, should pass a law to
apprehend criminals within this Indian coun
try, or to punish them for offenses committed
within that country, would the gentleman hold
that such laws were not valid 7
I
Mr. Grow. My answer to the gentleman
is this: the Stats of Kansas would hare no ju
risdiction over that Indian country so long as
the treaties continue as they are; and if they
pass such a law, and it comes into the courts,
they would be bound, in my judgment, to de
clare it a nullity, for the reason that it was in
violation of a treaty, and in violation of the
act of Congress which was accepted by the
State of Kansas whan she came into the Union.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri. Now I desire to
ask the gentleman one more question.
Several Members objected.
Mr. Grow. I would yield with great pleas
ure if there was not an evident impatience upon
the part of tbo House.-
The only other poinHo which I wish to al
lude is the objection to the admission of the
State, that the of Kansas allows
foreigu-bora residents, who have declared their
intention tot, become citizens, to vote. Mr.
Speaker, When these pioneers go forth into the
wilderness from the old States, where they are
permitted to vote, as they are in many of and
nearly all the northern States if they shall
have declared their intention to become citi
zens, although they have not been naturalized,
they leave their home and all the associations
of their early life; all the surroundings of a
highßr condition of civilization, and go out to
build up new empires.' They go to endure all
ihf hardships and privations of frontier life in
expelling the savage and the wild beast. It is
scarcely six years since the whole of Kansas
was an unoccupied waste, its solitude broken
only by the war-whoop of the savage. Yet to
day the bum of busy industry goes up from a
population of one hundred thousand freemen,
who bring, this great empire of industry and
advancing civilization and lay it at the altar of
our country. What justice would there be.in
denying to these men a voice in the formation
of the institutions under which they are to live ?
In it just to say that the men *ho have en
dured all the hardships of the wilderness to
build up new empires shall live uhder institu
tions formed by those who have endured no
greater privations, or perhaps none at all.
Mr. Speaker, it is time that this record of
Kansas wrongs should be closed. The blackest
page of American history has been written in
the last four years in the blood of her pioneers,
it is a chapter of history that will be read by
our children with shame for their ancestry.-
it is time to open a new volume in the history
of Kansas. Let this strife be ended, and
stanch the wounds of Kansas, inflicted with
the acquiescence of the Government of the Re
public. Give to this greatly wronged people a
government of their own, and to r the freemen
of the nation the assurance of returning jus
tice in the councils of the Republic, by adding
this star to the constellation of the Union.
■ Tin: Rhode Island Election. —Sprague is
elected and Pndelforcd defeated, in R. 1., the
latter having be'en supported by Republicans
alone, and the former by a combination of Re
publicans, Democrats and Americans.
The history of the contest is briefly this ;
IVlien the Republican State Convention was
held, the more radical portion of the party
having a majority, nominated the ticket headed
by Padelford. Some, who were dissatisfied
with this, called another Convention and put
Sprague in nomination for Governor, and mak
ing one or two other changes in the candidates
for State Offices. The Democrats and Ameri
cans, conscious of their inability to elect candi
dates of their own, endorsed this ticket, al
though Mr. Sprague was not, nor cverlms been
a Democrat. Soma of the candidates for State
officers were the same on both tickets
While this division on States issues is to be
regretted, the fact that it is the only shape a
contest can take, is a gratifying evidence that
Rhode Island is sure for the Republican Presi
dential nominee. A State where the Demo
crats cannot run a candidate, and where success
is only possible through Republican divisions,
is safe enough, when the Republicans are uni
ted, as they will be, in the Nation Canvass.—

As Irishman's Reasons tor Qdittino, 1 tde
Democracy. — l attached myself to the socalled
Demooratio party, for the reason that that
party professed to be the friend of the-laboring
man, and particularly those of foreign birth. I
have been long enough in that party to know
that their professions are false, and made only
to delude the ignorant in order to secure their
rotes, and when secured their rights and inter
ests are ignored, and the power thus created is
used to oppress and degrade a large majority
ef those whose suffrages created it. The labor
ing and mechanical interests of our latitude
require a positive tariff. Our country is depres
sed, times are hard, laborers are out of em
ployment. or are compelled to work for a pit
tance hardly sufficient to support life, from the
fact that there is no restriction upon foreign im
portations, Our country is flooded with the
labor of the Old World in exchange for the gold
and silver requred at home. This is the result
of Demooratio rule, and all the hardships and
degradations the laboring Democrats of the
North and West now suffer are the direct re
sult of their voles. —Mtnasha Conservator.

possession of the balance of power in one or
more States, and then sell out to the highest

An Address.
There is a paper published ih McKean
County called the Democrat, a weekly paper—
very weakly edited, and we should think from
its appearance very weakly sustained. “For
“ two years we have labored against desperate
“ odds and almost against hope to establish and
“continue the publication of a democratic
“ paper, once more, in Old McKean.” Wo
quote this sentence from an article in which
the editor congratulates himseK and his readers
that he still lives; that although struggling
against death by starvation, against “Asperate
odds” of truth and intellect and civilized pub
lic sentiment, and even “almost againsifhope,”
he is still able to come to time. To show what
a powerful struggle he had for the two years
last past, he states it as a matter of hear-say at
the time the Democrat recovered its legs, that
there was not a dozen administration demo
crats in the county, and that the party was en
tirely disorganized. ''Now how changed is
everything in McKean ! The paper has been
sustained. The paper is established., Weak
kneed democrats who did not like the Sraeth
port cliques, “who should have been friends,”
were secret enemies. The latter predicted a?
early death. They refused assistance. They
gave “nary red” to its support. It lived. It
breathed. It struggled. It biowed. It was
fierce. Its consolation was in the thought, so
it says, that it was “exerting an influence
toward staying the tide of error and fanaticism
which was cngulnhlng the country!” The
giant intellect of Mr. J. B. Oviatt, the perspir
ing editor who but a few weeks since disposed of
W. 11. Seward with one single paragraph from
his mighty pen, might well.stop a moment and
wipe his shining brow at the contemplation of
the fearful struggle through which he passed,
and from which he emerged a conqueror. Let
the tmterrified of McKean county clap their
hands for. joy, and crown Oviatt with a chaplet
of—leeks!
One of the results of Oviatt’s labors (faintly
alluded to in the article above,) was the estab
lishment in Smelhport of a democratic club.
One of the results of this club was the un
earthing of a fossil of the last half ccnturv
known as TV. Y. McCoy, M. D. Now Dr;
McCoy, tired out and perhaps disgusted with
the labor of tinkering up his patients,"has
taken to tinkering up the political carcass of
our ge-lorinus Dnion. At a late meeting of
the Smethport E Pluribus Unnm Club—the
audience consisting of six Republicans, two
Douglaeitcs, seven Democrats, one hoy anti a
dog—Dr. McCoy reported his diagnosis of the
otse. We are sorry that we cannot give the
doctor credit for originality in the ideas pre
sented in better shape before. We do give him
credit, however, for the most original syntax
ever before written. If wc could only follow
him into the labyrinth of the countless ideas
covered up by-this syntax, we should he so lost
in their beauty and splendor as to be unable to
return. But we can’t get in. Here is the way
the doctor states the position of the Republi
cans, and we hope our renders will stop a mo
ment to take breath before reaching the sev
enth line :
“If a majority of the people of tboNorthnm Stales,
shall at any time think proper to elect an Executive,
and Representatives to Congress, pledged to the exe
cution of certain measurer, which from the counsels
of their Magi, or some imagined inspiration, unknowu
to our Jaws, they deem in accordance with their no
tions of true philanthropy, however in direct deroga
tion of the rights of the South, and in violation of'all
State rights, most sacredly guaranteed in the Consti
tution. and this biiine South, now comprehending fif
teen States of this confederacy, that has furnished so
itrge a share of the venerable patriots, whose names
and memory we so much revere, that contributed in
so eminent a degree to the independence of these
United Colonies, (now Stales,) that hns cien faith
fully observed ber constitutional obligations, (except
in a single instance el an individual State.) that asks
nothing at our hands, that site is unwilling to concede,
and nothing but what the Constitution grants; can
not reasonably complain.”
Now in all this rigmarole wo should like to
know what it is that “cannot reasonably com
plain." We have the verb, doctor, but where
in the name of Lindley Murray is the noun
which “cannot reasonably complain?” Ah,
doctor I it will take any quantity of blisters
and boluses, and pills and powders and plas
ters to fix lip the Queen’s English after such a
murdering ns you have given it in the quoted
sentence. It may hare warmed the patriotic
bosom of editor Oviatt; it may have delighted
Mr. Byron Hamlin and Mr. John Backus, both
of whom spoke on that great occasion, but to
the rest of the world it is lost; and as Phillips
said af Napoleon at Elba, “lost in the solitude
of his (its) own originality.”
But to be serious, we cannot remember hav
ing seen anything so ridiculously solemn and
so solemnly ridiculous as this address of Dr.
McCoy in the McKean Democrat. Because Dr.
McCoy is an old and respectable citizen of
Smethport and has led a harmless and for aught
we know to the contrary, an irreproachable
life,- tfm leaders of the forlorn hope of the un
terrifieu of that borough, playing upon tho
man’s weaknesses have got him into print to
make political capital out of his name. They
do not care whether the address may or may
not be a lapghing stock for every intelligent

From Washington.'
Editorial Correspondence of the Agitator.
Washington, April 19, 1860.
Tb* Charleston Convention.
There is a perceptible thitiHbsS ih the House
and even on the streets to-night in consequence
of the exodus of politicians. It is a great re
lief to the city. For the past week nothing
has been talked about but the approaching
Charleston Convention and the probable action
of that body. Nearly everybody who expressed
any opinion was willing to back it by the offer
of a bet, ftnd'if one tenth of the bets offered
are taken, thousands of dollars will change
bands, ahd it is morally certain that somebody
must wih and sotnebody lose. If there is one
species of gambling which ought to he pun
ished witli greater rigor than any otter it is
that of betting on political results. Nothing
in the world can be more ridiculously uncer
tain. In almost every other game there is, if
one might say so, a mathematical limit to the
chances of success or defeat; but not so in the
game of politics. Like the views in the Ka
leidoscope, it is always changing. Public sen
timent is thousand-tongued, and the faintest
whisper nihy Change the aspect of great events
even in a single hour. There might be a coin-
Sinntion of circumstances to-day Upon which
one might bet \Vith the certhinty of success,
and to-morrow a .telegram of a dozen words
announcing a fact of which you were ignorant
might make defiat inevitable. We say then
to our friends, as well as to those who are not
friends of Republicanism, do not bet oh poli
tics. Do not offer to bet, ns such ofibr instead
of making converts to your views has often a
contrary effect upon by-standers. Thus, during
the past week every bet offered that Mr. Doug
las would be the nominee at Charleston carried
with it a doubt that he would not.
' Douglas’ Prospects.
There can be no doubt that Mr. Douglas
stands a better chance than any other candi
date at Charleston. If the figures Which his
friends were exhibiting here yesterday be any
thing near correct, his nomination is inevitable.
But it is asseitcd by the Anti-Douglas men that
all the Douglas furor has been aroused by an
organized system of blowing among his own
friends, and that his strength after the first bal
lot will bo materially curtailed ; in short, they
say that ho has not got the inside track any
more than the least prominent man before the
Convention. Bigler, who is looking for the
Vice Presidency under Joe Lane is hard at
work for the last named gentleman, and he
asserted that on the passage from Philadelphia
to Charleston he would make quite a number
of Douglas men “cave in." Bigler is a great
man, vyhere great men are scarce. One thing
is quite certain that Douglas is counting votes
which he will never get. However if he should
be nominated, he would he the Easiest man in
America to whip in every other.Statc hut Penn
sylvania. And in the old “Keystone Stale"
he can easily be beaten by General C«mernn.
Everybody knows till--, and this is why Doug
las democrats are so bitterly opposed to Cam
eron's nomination. Every fair-minded man
concedes to Mr. Cameron executive abilities of
the highest order. All the opposition to Cam
eron among the Republicans comes from-.a- set
of desperate politicians who have their own
axes to grind, and who desire to get them ground
by such opposition; but notwithstanding all
this there is not a doubt that if Douglas be the
nominee at Charleston, Mr. Cameron will he
nominated at Chicago. The eyes of the coun
try are therefore directed to Charleston. Great
events hinge upon its action, and there is no
knowing what a day may bring forth. One
week more will toll all.
The Covode Couuittek.
No wonder that J. B. the “old public func
tionary” as he calls himself, should squirm,and
wriggle, and protest at the] impudence of Con
gress in appointing a onnnpiltce to investigate
his official conduct. On Wednesday last, Rob
ert J. Walker, ei-Govornor of Kansas was
brought before the Cor ode Committee and tes
tified in effect that Mr. Buchanan removed him
from the office of Governor of Kansas for obey
ing the letter of instructions which he himself
had given him. The letter appears in this af
ternoon’s Slates, and will probably be in the
Now York papers to-morrolv. It is the town
talk to-night, and has raised such a storm of
indignation among all shades of politicians as
has been seldom heard. The letter proves con
clusively that Buchanan himself was in favor
of submitting the constitution to the bona fide
people of Kansas, and that Gov. Walker in
sticking to this principle was only obeying
the instructions of his master at Washington.
Yet for this he was dismissed, and in the eyes
of nil true blue Democrats—disgraced 1 The
Forney Democrats are chuckling at this exhibi
tion of Buchajnan’s inside character. The whole
history of th? Lecompton swindle and the part
which J. B. ployed in i‘—the persecutions of
those who opposed it, and the petty revenge
with which he visited those who happened to
differ with him about it—all these when placed
side by side with this letter to Governor Walker,
show how contemptible ho is. But here is
Tbe President’s Letter,
The following is a copy of Mr. Buchanan’s
celebrated letter to Robert J. Walker when Gov
ernor of Kansas :
Washington, July 12, 1857,
Mt -Dear Sir. —l duly received your letter of
the'2Bth ult. on Fridady last, and read it to the
Cabinet, then in session. The views which it
contained were not calculated to assure us of
your success, though we did not despond.
Hence you may judge with what satisfaction
we received an account of the proceedings of
the National Democratic Convention, held at
Looompton on the 3d inst. The point on which
your own success depends is the submission of
the Constitution to the people ofKansas; and by
the people 1 mean, and I have no doubt you
mean, the aetualbona fide residents, who have
been long enough in the Territory to identify
themselves with its fate- The Legislature de
termined' three months a* the period of rtsi-
dence to entitle individuals to vote for members
of the Convention, and if thb Convention should
think proper to adopt |:he same period to entitle
individuals to Vote for or against the Constitu
tion, it appears to me this would bo reasonable.
On the question of submitting the Constitution
to the bona fide residents of Kansas, I am wil
ling to stand or fall. It is the principle of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, the principle of Popular
Sovereignty, and the principle at the foundation
of all popular government. The more it is dis
cussed, the stronger it will become. Should
the Convention of Kansas adopt this principle,
all will be settled harmoniously; and, with the
blessing of Providence, you will return trium
phantly from your arduous, important, and re
sponsible station. The strictures of the Geor
gia and Mississippi Conventions will then pass
away, and be speedily forgotten.
In regard to Georgia, our news from that
State is bicoming better every day. We have
not yet had time to hear muCh from Mississippi.
Should you answer the resolution of the letter,
I would advise you to make the great principle
of the submission of the Constitution to the
bona fide residents of Kansas conspicuously
prominent. Oo this you will be irresistible.—
With the question of climate every person is
acquainted, and the more you insist upon .this,
the more will our opponents urge that we are
violating the principle of non interference at
the foundation of the Kansas and Nebraska
bill. It is strange that people at a distance,
who have no practical acquaintance with the
condition of Kansas, should undertake to be
wiser than those on the spot. It is beyond all
question the true policy to build up a great
Democratic party there to maintain the Consti
tution and the laws, composed of Pro-Slavery
and Free-State Democrats, and if the majority
should be against Slavery, to obtain such con
stitutional provisions ns will secure the fights
of slaveholders in Missouri and other States,
and maintain all the laws guarding the just
rights of the South.
Sou are right in your conjectures as to tb'fe
cause of Judge William’s appointment. We
supposed it would be peculiarly acceptable to
yourself, and that he might aid in carrying out
your policy.
Col. Cumniing-has been appointed Governor
of Utah. Thin will cause his place to be va
cant after the brief period required for settling
up bis business, and I certainly shall be dis
posed to fill it by the appointment of Mr. Ste
ven;!.
Getv Harney has been ordered to command
the expedition to Utah, but we must continue to
have him with you, at least until yon are out of
the woods. Kansas is vastly more important
at the present moment than Utah. The pres
sure upon me continues without interscssion.—
I pray that Divine Providence, in wbiclwl place
my trust, may graciously preserve my life and
my health until the end of my term. But God’s
will be done, in any event. ,
With every sentiment of esteem,
I remain always sincerely your friend.

A secret conspiracy is stated to existed among
the slave-holders, to secure the Indian territory
to the slave power. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat, writing under dale of Chicka
saw Nation. March 21, speaking particularly
of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, says:
“There is a secret political association formed
in the south for the purpose of securing all the
available territory to the slave potver. Their
efforts are just now directed to this vast and
fertile country, known as the Indian territory.
Their plan is to induce the several nations to
seetiunalize their respective domains, retaining
a section for every man, woman and child, and
reserving the surplus for sale, with the under
standing that no land is to he sold to northern
emigrants, and that none but those who are
sound on the goose are to be allowd to settle in
the country .thus dedicated to slavery. The
secret society of propagandists already have
active agents and emissaries among the civi
lized Indians, zealously laboring to carry out
their schemes.”
' The Vicksburg (Miss) Sun says that a fen
days since a negro man on Mr. Woolfulk’s plan
tation, near there, while working in the field,

however, before giving several other negroes to

Dogs were put on track, and after a chase sev
eral hours he was captured, though not without
a.desperate struggle—the pursuers being put
to all they knew to take him a live. Having
securely bound him they took him back to the
plantation to consider what was best to be done
in this case. Several highly respctablo gentle
man were presented at the council, who deci
ded to burn him at the stake, which waas done
in the presence of all the negroes on that and
several of the adjoining plantations. The
wretch died cursing nil anmnii him.

So party ever did succeed fur n great length
df.tihie, which made principles subservient to
party. The love of spoils killed the i U Whig
party, it has utterly demoralized the present
Democratic party, and if the Republican party
•would fetich the point of Usefulness which it
should; it must keep inviolate the great princi
ples upon which it professed, to be founded.—
The principles which underlie the Republican
party, arc as old as yet the present orgi
nization was born only ffve years ago., It was
founded upon the great truth's enunciated in the
Declaration of Independence; Acting iti accor
dance with these sentiments it has already be
come a tower of strength.
It now has practical control of one house of
Congress, and has twenty-five members of the'
other. And it is conceded by Democratic poli
ticians, that by judicious management the Re
publicans will elect their man in November
next. But should they forget the great princi
ples of Rigut in scrambling for place, they
will,'and ought to be defeated. And when we
hear politicians talking constantly of MEN —
when we see the air swarining with office seekers ,
in my judgment, it .is a bad symptom j when
place stands higher in 'the hearts of a party than
principle there is something wrong somewhere. Of
coarse, every man has a right to seek any office
ho chooses. Thus far this is a free country. But
men always should beheld secondary to measures.
To be sore, to give effect to our principles, we
are driven to the organization of parties.—
Standard bearers are necessary. But in their
choice, humanity should not be forgotten. The
manhood of candidates should be considered as
well as their acailibilily. Brora pastetruggles
we may learn many valuable lessons. A timid,
temporizing policy never yet secured a perma
net victory. The policy of funning unknown
men for office because they have not been iden
tified with great national issues may well be
questioned. ‘ ,
From present indications, it appears that we
shall have a warm time- here in Tioga County.
Bocal excitement, undoubtedly will run high.—
And in order that qur home affairs may not in
terfere with the gretft fight of November, I would
suggest that our County Convention ho held ns
early ns July at most; but when the nomina
tions are made, oaf eyOs will be turned from
local matters to national politics. The sooner
the convention is held, the less personal strife
there will be, and the better will we be prepared
to battle “Demqcracie.” Readers of the Agi-
TAfo'a, What say you! Shall we not have our
County Convention at an early hour? Think
this matter over, revolve it in your minds, and
you will, I think, come to the,conclusion, that
the sooner bold, the better.
The other day I heard a prominent Democrat
say the only hope for his party in this county,
was to get up a quarrel.among the Republicans.
And ho was right. .They are not fools. They
understand perfectly well that our dissensions
are their only salvation. They ate very polite
and suggestive nnw-adays. Selecting our can
didates, and making themselves useful gener
4;ly.' Napoleon always occupied thepositim
c mtrary to the one-Selected fur him by his ene
mies. And any measure that pleases a Demo
crat, I am suspicious of when it tends to divide
and distract the Republican party.
In conclusion, let us have our convention
early, let good and true men be nominated, and
Tioga is all right. Let us be united.. Let us
not do just what our enemies wish us] to do.—
Family difficulties ’are often the most violent.
Let us show by our (acts to the world that we
are laboring for measures not. men, principles,
not party. That we are laboring for truth and
justice, for which we had much rather suffer
d.'feat than triumph in the ranks o£ outrage and
wrong. J. B, N.
State Agricultural Fair.— The regularly
quarterly meeting of the State Agricultural
Society met at Harrisburg, on Wednesday
March 28th, —James Gnwen, K-q, of Philadel
phia, ex-president, in the chair. The business
before it was the election of certain officers.—
A.O. Hicstir. of Dauphin, was again chosen
"recording secretary, 1 and George 11. Bucher, of
Cumberland, treasurer. After a full discus
sion, the Society selected-Wyoming, in Luzerne
c unity as the place for holding the next State
Fair, and fixed upon the 24th, 25th, 23th and
27th uf September as the time. Wyoming is
situated in the beautiful valley of that name,
and is six miles north of I lie thriring town of
Wilkcsharre, and eight miles smith of Scranton.
There is, at Wyoming, one of the finest cour
ses for exercising horses that is to be found any
where, and the grounds of the Luzerne Countv
Society number seventy acres, surrounded by a
fence right feet high, and are said to be admira
bly adapted fur their purpose. The object in se
lecting a rural district instead of a large city for
holding the exhibition, is to encourage the ag
riculturists of the Commonwealth, and not
merely to make mohey out of the operation.—
Wyoming is in one of the richest agricultural
and thickly-settled regions in the State, and is,
besides, accessible on all sides by railroads.—
The executive committee are to meet on the
decond Tuesday of June, in Wilkcsbaire, to ar

delivery of Lovcjoy’s anti-slavery speech, the
Washington correspondent of the Now York
Post says i Its effect upon the country will be
excellent. Said a northern democrat now visit
ing Washington, who witnessed the scene, “I'll
never vote a pro slavery ticket again, and I ven
turn the assertion that if tho intelligent demo
crats of the free states could have been where
I was during the,delivery of Lovejny’s speech,
none but the office-holders would remain inside
the democratic party.” During the outrage the
northern democrats said nothing. There sat
John Cochrane and other gentlemanly demo
crats, with their'heads bowed with shame, hut
not one of them had the courage to oall their
party -friends to order. Little Sam. Cox, of
Ohio dill get up and call Mr. Lovejoy to order,
for speaking away from his seat, while he was
totally oblivious of the annoying conduct of his
southern brethren.
