Vbe Murder of Elijah Lovejoy. the speech of Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois, in the II mse of Representatives last week, stirred up the flrOjentera tremendously. Had not the Republican* stood firmly by Mr. ‘ Lovejoy, he ‘would havi undoubtedly been struck down by the Southern chivalry. It was hardlyto have been expected that a man whose brother bad been mobbed and mur dered for believing that slavery is wrong should speak of that institution with any great degree of deliberation and forbearance; and it is prob ably; owing to this fact that Mr. Lovejoy spoke In 'such plain and cutting terms of the evils of the system. He is reported to have said; “You murdered my brother, on the banks of the Mississippi, more than twenty years ago, and I am heae to vindicate his blood and speak my mind.” The history of the cruel murder alluded to may serve not only to show the asser tion to be true/but also to refresh the memory of (hose southern Congressmen who, not long since, pronounced Mr.-Van Wyck to be a liar and scoundrel, for asserting that negroes are burned in the South. The New York Evening Post gives the fol- I lowing sketch of tho murder of the brother of Mr. Lovejoy^ “Ellijah P, Lovejoy, the brother of Owen Lovejoy, was a native of Maine, and was grad uated at Watorville College in 1828. He prac tised law sometime in St. Louis, but subsequent ly entered the Church, became an agent of the Sunday School Union,-and was finally selected to conduct a religious.journal in St. Louis, In his editorial capacity he maintained the right , of an American citizen to free discussion ; and ' when a free eolorgd man was Imi'Keot ftj death near St.‘Louis, ho rebuked the savage outrage in such terms ns it deserved. And for this he was.driven out of the State of Missouri. ■*nlc-best established himself ht Alton, 111., and began fho publication of a paper called the . Alton Observer. In this journal he avowed his opposition to the system of Slavery, and pub lished a long exposition of his views on the spbjcct. Being on tho border of a Slave State, his words raised a storm of popular fury, and three times his office wat demolished, and his friends promptly came to his assistance, and replaced the property of which his enemies had robbed him, in violence of law and justice.— The publication of tho Observer was therefore resumed. 1 “In November, 1837, Mr. Lovojoy’s press having been recently destroyed and a' new one ordered, a meeting wag called ostensibly for the purpose of allaying excitement, jmt really to intimidate the bold advocate of free speech.— Mr. I.ovojoy appeared at this meeting, and in a brilliant and manly speech defended the free dom of conscience and the liberty of the press. Soon after his press arrived, and on the 7th of November, 1337} it was lodged in a stone ware house, where Mr. Lovejoy and some of his friends took shelter, ready to defend it against an expected attack. The mob assembled the same night and fired upon the building, but failing to dislodge the occupants, they attempt ed to set fire to the warehouse. Mr. Lovejoy wont out to prevent them, when he was shot dead, pierced with three buckshot. , “Mr Lovejoy left a wife and three children. Mrs. Lovejoy stood by hirii nobly in his trials, *nd particu'arly during a brutal assault upon him previous to the''fatal affray at Alton. When Lovejny's mother learned the tidings of bis death, she exclaimed: ‘lt is well. I had rather he should £pll a martyr to his dause than prove recreant to bis principles,’ 1 ' What ia Be? What is Gen. Foster ? Is ho Leoompton or jfnli-Lccompton ? One portion of the Democ racy claim him to be the former, while the other portion say he is the latter. But Gen. Foster 'dare not come out and say which faction he be longs to. He dare not openly express his opin ion on this critical question. Ho is not in pos session of sufficient moral courage enough to do so. It is true that he is either, as it suits his Interest, but to come out openly and take an independent position, he dare not. —Miners Journal,. How can wo better] answer our Potsville co ntemporary’s question than by giving Deputy 'Secretary Diffenbaoh’s opinion of Gen. Foster In his paper of Jan. 9, 1857. Diffenbach then •aid: “He (Foster) is : a lawyer, has served two or three terms in Congress, and is now a member of the Legislature.- He did not distinguish himself iu cithor of these positions, and he may not be as able as his friends represent him to he, for they lhavo a fashion of making great men of rather scanty material in the western part of the State.’’ This *ms said when Henry D. Foster was a candidate against Forney, for U. S. Senator. A few days later, Mr. Diffenbach, said in the col umns of his paper, the Clinton Democrat; "As to Foster himself we know but little about him. We spoke of him before the Sena torial election as one who had served in Con gress and the Legislature, but had, wholly failed to distinguish himself. We might have added, that he bad not succeeded in making known to the people,of the State that such a man lived. We said that he had friends in the western part of the State, who spoke of him in high terms, ■but as they had a fashion making great men out of small material in that quarter, we did not know whether he was all that ho was rep resented to bo. But he has now succeeded in making himself known, and no one will now have much difficulty in measuring his calibre, hit patriotism, or his love for tho Democratic parly. His selfishness, his factiousness, his weakness and purility stand out conspicuously to the gnzp of tho public. He has voluntarily placed himself beyond the pale of tho Demo-- fold, and there let him stand, or fall, or Tallow, las best suits his tastes. We admire on independent man, but despise a puerile faction ist. That littleness' of soul, that stubborncss for independence, characterizes selfishness un der all circumstances, and wo have never seen a more thorough,exhibition of these traits than ba« bean exhibited by Henry D. Foster through out the recent Senatorial struggle.” Death, or Wax. C. A.

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY. 3, 1860, REPUBLICAN STATE NOMINATION. iron GOVERNOR, ANDREW <3r. CURTIN, OP CENTRE COUNTF. From Washington. Editorial Correspondence of the Agitator. Washington, April 26,'1860. The Charleston Contention. Before these words shall here been put in type, many, if not all of the readers of the Agitator will have heard of the result of the Charleston Convention. The utmost anxiety prevails here among all classes of politicians in regard to its probable action, and every dele' gram is-looked at and commented upon with earnestness by the knowing ones, and the specu lations vary according to the prejudices of those who offer them. Up to this time (Thursday noon) there is quite ns much uncertainly ns there was one week ago as to who should be the nominee. Betting,—the only and best argu ment of fools—runs high. The telegraphic despatches seem to take their tone from the papers which publish them. Thus, the Slates, which is Douglas’ organ here, contains tele grams, which, if true, place his nomination beyond the shadow of a doubt; whilst the Con stitution's despatches say there is not the least chance for him. When such conflicting truths come from such veracious journals, is it not the’part of wisdom to wait until we hear the truth ns it is ? 1 It is known that tho Convention organized permanently by tho election of Caleb Cushing of Massachusetts, an anti-Douglas man for President, with one Vice-President aJd one Secretary from each State. A CommitteeW one from each State, (except New York and.llli nois, which send two setts of delegates each,) was appointed on organization, and also a Com mittee of one from each State on Credentials. The ultra Southern delegates are fierce t gainst Douglas, and intend to insist on a Slave Code Platform. By superior tactics they have ob tained a decision in tho Convention fiat the Platform, whatever it may be, will be made first; and the candidate afterwards. It is rather amusing"tb the Republicans here, and must be humiliating to the Douglas Democrats ill over the North, that the violent and treasonable harangues which the Slave-drivers delivered against the Republicans during the orj tion of tho House, early last winter, i rebuke from the Douglas,democratic members, will now be—are now being—hurled against the Douglasites at Charleston. The South will, as a last resort, threaten the demise of the Union, and tho dough fncos of the North now at Charleston will let them nominate whom they please, upon any platform they please. Wigfall—the Solon from Texas—said the other dsy in the Senate ip speaking of the Northern masses, that tho South had but to threaten the dissolution of tho Union, and they—the North ern.masses,—would whine around the legs of their Southern lords liko puppies, and lick the very dust at their feet. Wigfall was* honest enough to say.just what every slave-driver thinks, and the history of the country for ten years shows tho estimate of Northern subser viency to bo pretty nearly true so far as the Democratic masses are concerned: but Mr. 7 Wigfall and the other lords are beginning to dis cover that tho Republican masses have bones in their noses as well os their backs, and that the latter cannot ho bent nor the former twisted. Indeed the “lords” understanding so well the nature of the animal known ns the Northern dough face have already commenced this sys tem at Charleston by threatening to bolt if they cannot have their own way. Of course this will at once coo) the ardour of the'valinnt Dong lasites, and they will submit as heretofore.— The Douglasites want Dougins and the Cincin nati Platform. The ( Slave-drivers want the Slave Code and a Southern man. Neither can bo accommodated as they desire, and so they will have to compromise. This appears to be the position of things *tbie morning, I pre- sume that during tho day the Platform will be adopted, and that no matter how irlfamous it I may be it will bo swallowed by the entire “un terrified” North and South.. That is my indi vidual opinion. Republicanism South To-day the Republican State Con Maryland meets at Baltimore, for the purpose of ejecting delegates to Chicago. Tjiis is the first State Convention of the Republican Party ever held in Maryland, I believe, and its action is looked to with some concern. The Republi city, like a Republi tod Repub •doing bat- cane of Baltimore say that their St. Louis, will be in a few years can city; and they already have ag< lican daily newspaper—the Patriot tie for them There will be delegates at Chicago from near ly every district in Virginia. A State Conven tion to choose them is to assemble a b Wheeling on the 2d of May. A Republican County Convention mot on Saturday, the 14th inst., at Occoquan, Prince William County, Virginia, for the purpose of choosing delegates s to the Wheeling Convention.' Strong resol itions were passed in favor of the Republican party, pro testing against the censorship of the press at the South, and demanding freedom- of speech. After enumerating several of the absurd and burdensome provisions, of. slaye legislation, they come out with the following resolution i "And all this must be borne without a murmur on our part, or wo are charged ns abolitionists and dis loyal to Virginia. Thus aftor a careful review of the politics of too country, we are foroed to theiconolnsion thnt in tha coming contest wo are to rpaito choice between the Democratic nnd Republican parties, as wo aro convinced that every other party will be swept ayvay by the issues of 1800." •>■l 1 The House. [ When the Haase met onjjdonda there was no quorum pretext. It 7 THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATO®. between the Democrats anti Republicans that no vote should be . taken on any question in* Volving a party issue, and that the week should be-spent in debate on the Tariff and other,im» portant measures then pending in the House. Hence, during the week, if no business bos been done, we have had some of the finest speeches of the session. Messrs. Campbell and Morris of Pennsylvania, Mr. Morill of Vermont and Mr. Rice of Massachusetts all made strong speeches for protection. Mr. Bingham of Ohio made one of the finest argu ments against the Dred Scott decision which I have yet heard or read. While he was speak ing ofthe growth of anti-slavery sentiment in thb South, a little incident occurred which shows the determination on the part of North ern men to maintain, House at least, the right of free speech. Mr. Extra Billy Smith of Virginia who is always trying to ehow how long his ears ore, interrupted Mr. Bingham, rather rudely denying the truth of .Mr, B.’s statement. Mr. Bingham immedi ately turned upon Extra Egg Nog Billy with the following language : “Sir, you, deny that Virginia feels in the very fiber of Jier existence that she must either throw off, gradually, by emancipation, this giant wrong, or perish by reason of its continuance. I was speaking of the politicians of a past generation; but I say to you, Sir, that the South had then, has had since, and* has now, men far superior to all such narrow, bigoted, selfish,, mercenary preju dices, but unhappily the gentleman from Vir ginian is not one of them !” Mr. Extra Egg Nog Billy Smith immediately subsided. To-day we had a nice treat in listening to a speech from Tom Corwin of Ohio on the fugi tive Slave Bill of 1850. It will be remembered that Mr. Corwin was a member of Mr. fill move’s Cabinet when the latter gentleman signed the Bill. Mr. Eliot, of Massachusetts had just been delivering a most eloquent argu ment against the constitutionality of the law referred to. This was what called out Mr. Corwin, when Messrs. Carter of New York and Dawes and Eliot of Massachusetts had him fairly cornered, he ~got down gracefully with good humor and pleasant irony of which he is a perfect master. There is not, in my opinion, a more graceful speaker in America than Mr. Corwin. He has a wonderful face. His fea tures seem to change with every thought, and you can almost tell what he is going-to say, be fore lie says if. A slight shake of the head, or a nod, or a twist of his eye-brows, or a smile, or a scowl on his brow, each by itself speaks an entire sentence. No one can have the least idea of the beauty, grace, force, or effect, of a speech of Corwin from reading it in the papers. It must be heard—and more—the speaker must be seen. Several other excellent speeches which I cannot now notice were delivered, and on the I think the week so far as Congress is conceded, has been a profitable one for the country. The Senate is not in session. I The Moruoks. •gnmza without Mormonism, that festering ulcer on the Amer ican body politic, is about to bo removed in some way. The passage of the law making polyga my a penal offence will not be half so effective as the scheme now on foot in the Committee on Territories of which Mr. Grow is Chairman.— It is known that Arizona, Nevada, Jefferson (or Pike’s Peak,) Dukotah and Chippewa have asked Congress for laws organizing them as Territories. The House Committee propose to give each of these a slice of Utah, and in this way annihilate the territorial existence of the latter. In each of the regions of country named, wjiite women are very scarce, while in Utah there is a superabundance. The Pike’s Peakers have no objection to any little arrange ment by which Brigham Young can bo made to diudo his surplussago of the fair sex. But se. riously, this move will be made, notwithstand ing the existence of another project which is stated as follows: Mr. Morris of Illinois will Urge the passage of a joint resolution appoint ing Mr. Orr of South Carolina, Gen. Doniphan of Missouri, and Gov. Wood-of Illinoip, all good. Democrats, of course, ns Commissioners to ne gotiate with the Mormons for tho sale of their possessions, on the express condition that they remove within a reasonable time from the limits and jurisdiction of the United States. • The Commissioners are to make their report to the President by the next Session of Congress.— Tho ground for this movement is to prevent a recurrence of war and bloodshed, as the history of the Mormons in Missouri and Illinois shows lliaf. they cannot, owing to their live on terms of peace and good-neighborhood contiguous settlements. It is also treated as a question of economy to the Treasury. ■ The weather has been quite cold for the past week, mulch more so than it was a month ago. 1 H. y. ivention o,f can speak only speculatively as yet ■with-regard to the result of the Charleston Con* vention. The fight is yot upon the platforjiu— the South demanding a Slave-Coda for the Ter ritories. A Slave-Code Platform once adop ted, Dougins is tbo deadest of all possible can didates. His strength is in his position; that ho is the worst candidate that can be nom inated. It certainly looks now as if there were a chance for his defeat. Senator Wigfall, of Texas, used the follow ing language, a few days since, in Congress:— ‘•These Northern people, of all parties, ore a mean, despicable set of starvelings, unable to see beyond a dollar, and caring for no consid eration except money.. Threaten them, and they will crouch n!t youn feet liko hounds.— Only swear that you are going to dissolve the Union, and-the timid creatures will get dmlvn 'on all fours, bite the dust, and kiss the rod raised to chastise them.", The Senator applied this language to Northren Republicans and Democrats indiscriminately. As if to show that it is no place of empty bravado, the Charleston papers declare that thsfionso of that city will newr bo «o closely secured and watch .ad as when tho Democrats Oojjyontion shall ba In session, with its Jwts of retainers prepipita ted upon them. iy morning fee agreed FROM THE PEOPLE. I For the Agitator. The Musical Convention lately advertised in your paper to be held in Tioga, came off at the time appointed and was a decided success from, beginning to end, as well as remunerative to the gentlemqn who conducted it. It was held at a busy season, and many were prevented from attending by unavailable business' en gagements ; yet the class of singers numbered over forty, and the M. E. Church, (where the Convention was held,) the largest In the village, was completely filled on the evening of the Concert. • The singers acquitted themselves admirably, and the Tioga and Lawrenceville Brass Bands-, led by Mr. Pier of Corning, were present and Contributed greatly to the interest of the en tertainment. Mr. Barber was prevented, by 111 health, from taking an active part in training the sing ers ; and the burden of nearly the whole work fell upon Mr. Jewett. This, however, proved to be no disadvantage to him, and it gave him a full opportunity to illustrate his method of teaching vocal music. What the class thought of it appears from the following resolutions, passed unanimously at their afternoon session on the fourth day, and fully concurred in, I think, by ail others who had an opportunity to form nn opinion; Resolved, That wo express our gratification with the patience, energy and skill of Prof. Jewett, as shown in conducting the exercises of this Convention. Resolved, That wo approve of his system of Teach ing, and especially his method of cultivating the voice. Resolved, That vfe cordially recommend him to the public as highly skilled in music, and well, qualified to hold Musical Conventions. Near the close of the Concert another sett of resolutions were passed unanimously by the, class and the audience, as follows : Resolved, That wo express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the energy and skill, which Prof’s Bar ber arid Jewett have shown in conducting the exerci ses of this Convention. Resolved, That we highly approve of their system of Teaching—especially in the cultivation of the voice. Resolved, That we cordially commend them to the public ns men of high ability in teaching music, and well qualified to conduct Musical Conventions. Resolved, That wo tender o'ur thanks to the Law rencovillo and Tioga Brass Bands for the able man ner in which each has assisted in the exercises of this evening. Resolved, That these Resolutions bo published in the Tioga County Agitator, the Tioga County .Demo crat, the Corning Journal and the Elmira Daily Press. After speeches from Ilev. S. J. McCullough, F. E. Smith and others, tho Convention ad journed, G. Poor Keenan. —The Pittsburg Post says; "A female signing herself Josephine Keenan, writes from Now Orleans to Mr. A. J. Menkin, one of Ada Isaacs Monkin’s husbands, and says she—the said Josephine—was married to John C. Keenan, November 14th, 1859, in Boston, Massachusetts, atid lived with him since that time until his departure for Europe. Jose phine says Ada Isaacs never made Keenan’s acquaintance until last fall, although Ada had been writing" letters to him, saying in one of them that “a loving sister might write to a be loved brother,” Josephine says: My husband, £s soon as he learns of this woman’s audacity; Will, through the medium of the press, refjito her lies, and make known his marriage with myself. It has marred my happiness not a little to hear his name spoken of in connection with this woman, and had I not unbounded faith in his honor, I should in deed be wretched. Tho “Beniki Boy,” is to be pitied. Two women insist with a pertinacity peculiar to their sex, on being married to him, and without his knowledge or consent; so far as the public, or, indeed his most intimate friends know.— This thing is getting rich ? Isn’t there another Mrs. Heenan 7 Where is Mrs. Heenan the third ? Trot her out. An Important Law. — A bill passed tho Penn sylvania House of Representatives during the last session, requiring all proposed legislation to be advertised beforehand, and all the laws to bo published in at least two papers in each county. The Senate struck out all that part about the publication of the laws, retaining only thoTirst section, in a modified form. The House concurred; and as the law is an important one to all who intend to ask for legislation hereafter, wo append it in full; "That from and after the passage of this act it shall be required that every application to tho Legislature, for any act of incorporation, shall be preceded by a public notice or advertisement of the same, in two newspapers in tho city or county for which the legislation is demanded, or in which tjie parties applying for it reside, if two newspapers are published in said city or county, and if there be not two newspapers published therein, then in one, which said public notice or advortisment shall set forth the names of all the parties, cofnmissioncrs or corporators to the bill or proposed legislation, and tho same shall be published or advertised in said papers, before tho bill or proposed law be presen ted to either branch of the Legislature.” / j Imprisoned for Selling Helper’s Book— Burning the Volumes.— The Greenville (S. C.) Patriot has the following: “On Thursday afternoon last, in the interval between tho morning and evening session of our courts, several incendiary documents were committed toU|he flames, in the -presence of a large crowd in front of the court-house door.— These objectionable works, consisting princi pally of the ‘lmpending Crisis,’ had been put in circulation in this district by Harold Wyllys, who has been convicted of tho offence, and sen tenced to one year’s imprisonment. The pile of fuel was placed in order by an intelligent colored boy, Bob, who seemed to be as earnest in tho matter hsany one present. Contributions to the pile were made by citizens of Laurens, Pickens, and Spartenbnrgh. Tho match being applied by Bob, and the combustible matter having been made a little more combustible by a good sprinkling of alcohol, the books were consigned to the flames by tho chief marshal of tho town, and were soon destroyed.” ■. j Kansas, they say at Washington, is coming into the Union. When she enters tho Union there'-‘will be thirty-four States. The Senate of the United States will contain sixty-eight members, and the House of Representatives, two hundred and thirty-oight. Thera wjll be nineteen Free States to fifteen Slaw States ; the Free State Senators will number thirty eight, and the Slave State Senators thirty. Twenty thousand Swedea and Norwegians aro reported to bo getting in readiness to embark for tho United States early in the coming sum mer.
