On motion the Recording Secretary -was re quested to furnish a copy of the proceedings of this Institute for each of the county papers, and for the Pennsylvania School Journal, and to receive for his services an order of five dol lars on thu treasurer. ] At three o’clock Prof. Burlingame was intro duced to the teachers to deliver an address which occupied an hour. This address will speak for itself; for at the close it was resolved that while we thank Prof. Burlingame fur his interesting and pleasing address, we also solicit a copy for publication. On motion the Institute adjourned to meet at Mansfield at the call of the Superintendent. Aha Lincoln tod Gen. Shields. The Chicago Press and Tribune relates the following anccdoto of Abe Lincoln and Gene ral Shields. A good deal of fun was had by the jokers in Springfield, about an affair In which a lung time ago, our good friend Lincoln, the candidate for Presidency, was engaged.— A tcung lady in that city, now the wife of a distinguished statesman, wrote a paragraph in a burlesque vein for the Sangamon Journal, in which Geu, Shields was good bumoredly ridi culed for his connection with some public mea sure. The General was greatly incensed, and demanded of the editor the name of the offend ing party. ‘'Old Sim,” put him off with a re quest for twenty-four hours to consider tha matter, and shortly afterwards, meeting Lin coln, told him his perplexity. “Tell him I m rote it.” said Lincoln; and tell him ho did. After a deal of diplomacy to get a retraction of the offensive -parts of the paragraph in ques tion, Shields sent a challenge, which .Lincoln accepted, named broadswords as the weapons, and an unfrequented well-wooded island in the ilisswsippi, just below Alton, as tho place; • Old Abe” was first on the ground, and wiicn Shields arrived ha found his antagonist, his sword in one hand and a hatchet in the other, with his coat off, clearing away tho un derbush I Before the preliminary arrange ments were completed, John J. Hardin, wljo somehow had got wind of what was afloat, ap peared on the scene, and called (hem both d—d - fools, and by his arguments, addressed to their common sense, and by his ridicule of tho figure that they, two well grown, bearded men, were making there, each with a frog-sticker in his “ baud, broke up the fight. We do not know how Gen. Shields feels, but we have heard of Lincoln’s saying that the acceptance of the challenge was the meanest thing he ever did in Ins life. Hardin, one of the bravest of men, never came out of that terrible charge at Buena - Vista, to which he led the 2d Regiment of Illi nois Volunteers. If the events of his life passed in quick review before his mind as he lay wounded and dying’in that fatal ravine, we doubt not this not of his, by which he prevented two really brave men from engaging in. fatal strife, was not tho lepst of the consolations of that bitter hour. Terrible Tragedy. —A correspondent of the Newark Mercury gives the annexed account of a thrilling tragedy which occurred at Haver straw, N. Y., on the 13th inst.: “The victim was a lovely little girl of scarcely live summers, the only daughter of Rev. A. S. Freeman, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, llaverstraw. Ills nearest neighbor is Mr. Marcus Kirkpatrick, whose wife for some months past has been in a melancholy stale of mind, and at times has betrayed a strong dis position to drestroy herself. She loved little Carrie Freemen almost to idolatry, and on one. occasion at least, was heard to say, “She is too good for earth—she must not, shall not live and then turning her face to the wall she mut tered to herself, “Must I do it—how can I do iti” But those who heard 'these remarks un derstood not their meaning at the time. Last Monday, the gas-fitters being at work in the parsonage, Mrs. Freeman sent her little daughter over to Mrs. Kirkpatrick’s, as she had often done before, to spend an hour or two in play with her children. While, there the insane woman proceeded to execute her bloody purpose upon the unsuspecting child. She first scut her own daughter, a girl 14 or 15 years of age, on an errand to the store, and then taking a carving knife, cut the-child’s meek completely around, thus almost severing the head from the body. When her daughter returned the wretched woman said to her, “I have done it.” “Dime what?” asked her daughter. “Why, killed Carrie,” was her cool reply. Alas ! it wan too true ; there lay tho little innocent in her own gore, yet warm but lifeless. lleenan and Sayers to Fight Again.— From “ll'U’svLife in London” of the sth of May, just received, we learn that Ileenan and Sayers are to fight again. That paper says; “Both men—but more especially Ileenan— appear bent on fighting -again.” Tho referee had received official notice from the authorities that if an attempt was made to renew hostili ties in any place which could be reached by a Secretary of State’s warrant, they would be ar rested. and' their designs frustrated. Bell's Life further says “the referee has determined beyond the naming of a future- day, to wash of the business. On Friday we had n visit from Ileenan, who, in company with Mr. Wilkes came to demand that a day should be fixed for tho battle to be resumed. Both were aware of the notice alluded to in our last, and hath suggested that the fight should take place out of England, and, as the authorities are de termined we cannot sco a way out of the diffi culty unless Sayers waives the articles entirely, and goes abroad to continue tho contest.” Warning to Young Ladies who Read Nov els and Write Poetry.— The Henderson (Ky.) Jteporli/- says:—We understand that a young lady of Uniontown, a few days since, committed suicide- urtder rather romantic circumstances. Miss Cathrine Adams—for that was her name formed an attachment for a young gentleman, which was not appreciated. She procured a gun, and placed the muzzle against her bead and pulled the trigger with her toe, blowing out her brains and killing herself instantly. The un fortunate affair was the result of novel reading. The young lady was accomplished, and has written several literary pieces. Tho national debt is now §65,000,000. When Mr. Buchanan went into office there was $2-1,000,000 in the Treasury. He has therefore expended 550,000,000 beyond the- ordinary receipts of the Government in a little over three years. Adurge proportion of this sum has been expended in sustaining Totten doughface news papers, in buying-up members of Congress,in forcing the constitution of Kansas, and mother corrupt schemes. The Democracy wish to ex tend, enlarge and perpetuate this system of rascality and swindling by the election of Doug las or icme olhei doughface. THE AGITATOR. HUGH YOUNG, EDITOR <t PROPRIETOR. WELLSBOBODGB, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 3i; 1860. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL NOMINATIONS. FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN OF ILLINOIS. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, HANNIBAL HAMLIN, OF MAINE. REPUBLICAN STATE NOMINATION. FOR GOVERNOR, ANDREW G-. CURTIN, OF CENTRE COUNTS’. The Nominees. Not since 1844, we believe, and certainly not within our remembrance of political events, has the nominations of any National Convention been bailed with more satisfaction and en thusiasm than those presented on the 21st by the Republicans at Chicago. Never in the history of the world, and certainly never in the history of this country—save once, and once only—has any body of men constituting the representatives of the people put forth a plat form of principles so liberal in its scope, so just to all classes and conditions of men, so compre hensive in its political philosophy, so conserva tive in its progressiveness, and so patriotic, as the Chicago Platform which we publish in 1 an other column. The exception referred to is the Declaration of Independence. We trust every reader of the Agitator, and particularly every Democrat will contrast the Platform herewith presented with that adopted at Charleston. FROM WASHINGTON. Editorial Correspondence of the Agitator. Washington, May 25, 1860. •A BIG GUN. Last Thursday a, train from Baltimore I brought here one of the curiosities of the world | of art and science. I refer to the monster gun ■ oast at Knapp, Rudd,‘& Co.’s foundry in Pitts burg under the superintendence of Lieut. Rod man for the Government. Hundreds of people flacked to see it, among them the Prince de Joinville, son of King Louis Pbillipe, late of France, who is now on' a visit here. Of course the Japanese had to see it also, but they did not appear to be at all surprised to see it. In deed it appears as if they had ceased to be sur prised to see anything, they have seen so many wonderful things. They seem to cultivate in difference, but one of them was just a little sur prised when he first looked into a stereoscope. The gun is to be taken to Fort Monroe. Its total extreme length is fifteen feet ten inches j its length of bore is thirteen feet nine inches ; the exact weight of the finished gun is 49.099 pounds. It is to carry a shell of three hundred and fifty pounds, and a "solid shot of four hun dred and twenty-five pounds weight. The cali bre of the gnn is fifteen inches in diameter. If this gun stands the tests required, which those bast acquainted with metals pronounce to be beyond a doubt, it will supply a want which has been felt by the Engineer department for years —a class of ordnance of such size as will defend cities, harbors, and extensive sea-coasts from the near approach of the ships of an ene my. As this monster gun will - carry a missile four or five miles with reasonable accuracy, vessels would be most cautious how they ap proached it. “The boring of the gnn has- been so exactly dine that accurate measurement shows that it does not vary the one thousandth patrt of an inch in tho entire length.” LIXCOLK AN'D HAMLUf. The news from Chicago announcing the nomi nation of these gentlemen, was received with the greatest satisfaction and enthusiasm. The Washington House, where Mr. Hamlin resides, was illuminated “from turret to foundation” and tho .Republican Association marched from their rooms, preceded by the Marine Band, to serenade the future Vice President. He was introduced to the audience by B. B. French, the President of the Club, and responded most elo-. qucntly. He was then followed by Hon. Jas. 11. Campbell of our own State, who pledged the old Keystone for a round and rousing majority for “Honest Old Abe,” the man who can split rails and maul the Democrats. During his re marks ha was frequently interrupted by tho rowdies of Washington, and not a policeman was to ho seen. Tho procession then went to tho residence of Senator Trumbull, who was called out and gave a brief history of Lincoln. He was followed by Mr. Washburne of Illinois. While he was speaking tho rowdies threw stones and brickbats into the crowd and tho Marine Band thought “discretion the better part of valor” and took to their heels, a beau ; tiful commentary upon the conrage of Uncle Sam's hired cut-throats. The crowd of ruffians had now increased to about double tho number of Republicans, and Mr. Washburne told his friends to rally and die in their tracks if neces sary to preserve the right of Free Speech in the metropolis of the nation. A cheer follswed this remark that showed the ruffians what they had to expect if their outrage was continned, and so they sneaked away or stood off at a dis tance. No policemen were in sight. Congress pays the City of Washington §32,000 a year to support her policemen, and yesterday, on the passage of tho Appropriation Bill, this item was struck out, so that, hereafter, Washington will have to- pay her own policemen. A pretty summary lesson, but well-deserved. Of course the friends of Mr. Seward and those of Mr. Cameron felt disappointed, but reflection convinced- them- that Mr. Lincoln was the best man for the times; at least they bowed 1 to the wisdom of the Convention. Mr. Came-- TV run that be- was proud THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOK. of ttie vote of his native State in the Chicago Convention, and that Mr; Lincoln was entirely satisfactory to him in every way—-that he should support him with all his force and energy*—and that be had not the least doubt but that he ■would be elected. n. Y. [Noil.—Wfe tn obliged to oniik tho Wat Df Mr. Yooxo’a letter, u it got here too late.] The Chicago Platform. With a unanimity which indicates the sincer ity of its framers, tbs Chicago Convention adopted a platform which we are sure will be accepted on all sides. It proclaims in larigUage which cannot be misconstrued, that the great Republican party is opposed to the extension of slavery beyond its present limits—that it con demns, without qualification, the entire politi cal and financial policy of the Buchanan ad ministration—that it is now, as it always has been, on the side of the patriotic founders of the government, who regarded slavery as a lo cal evil, which the progress of time and civili zation would effectually extirpate. It also re cognizes the great principle of protection to the industrial interests of the nation, and demands an honest and economical administration of the government. This is soand doctrine, and will be accepted by the people. The platform was adoptee! by a unanimous vote, and amidst the most intense enthusiasm. We copy it entire: Beeolced, That we the delegated representatives of the Republican Electors of the United States, in Con ventioa assembled, in the discharge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite la the foU lowing declarations t First* That the history of the nation during the last four years has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpctuatWn of the Republican party, and that the causes which called it Into existence are permanent in their nature, and noft more than ever before demand its peaceful ahd consti tutional triumph. Second; That the maintenance of the principles promulgated ia the Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Constitution, is essential to tho preservation of our republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitatlon, the rights of the States, and tho Union of the States, must and shall be pre served. Third: That to the Union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in population ; its sur prising development of material resources; its rapid augmentation of wealth; its happiness at home and Its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source they may; and we congratulate the country that no Re publican member of Congress has uttered or counte nanced a threat of disunion, so often made by Demo cratic members of Congress without rebuke and with applause from their political associates; and we de nounce those threats of disunion, in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as denying tho vital principles of a free Government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason, which it is tho imperative duty of an indignant people strongly to rebuke'and forever silence. Fourth: That tho maintenance inviolate of tho rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions, accor ding to its own judgment exclusively, is essential-to that balance of power on which the perfection and en durance of our political faith depends, and we de nounce the lawless invasion by armed force of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes. Fifth : That the present Democratic Administration has far exceeded our worst apprehensions in its meas ureless subserviency to the exaction of a sectional in terest, as is especially evident in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Locompton Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas—in constructing the personal relation between master and servant to in volve an unqualified property in persons—in 'its at tempted enforcement everywhere, on land and sea, through tho intervention of Congress and the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest, and in its general and unvarying abuse of tho power intrusted to it by a confiding people. Sixth: That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades every depart ment of tho Federal Government; that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indespensable to 1 arrest tho system ef plunder of the public treasury by 1 favored partisans; while the recent startling develop ments, show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. Seventh: That the new dogma that the Constitufiotf of its own force carries Slavery into any or all the Territories of tho United States, is a dangerotfs polit ical heresy, at variance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself, with contemporaneous exposi tion, and with .legislative and judicial precedent, is revolutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. Eighth: That the normal condition of all the terri tory of the United States is that of Freedom ; that as our republican fathers, when they had abolished Sla very in all our national territory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislature, or of any indi viduals to give legal existence to Slavery in any Terri tory of the United States* Ninth : That we brand the recent reopening of* the African slave-trade, k undor the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity, a burning shame to our country and ago, and wo call upon Congress to tako prompt and efficient measures for the total and Anal suppression of that-execrable traffic. Tenth : That in the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors of the acts of tho Legislature's of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery in the Territories, we find a practical illustration of the boasted 'Demo cratic principle of non-intervention and Popular Sov ereignty, embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska'bill, and a denunciation of the deception and fraud in volved therein. Eleventh : That Kansas should of right be imme diately admitted as a State under the Constitu tion recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by tho House of Representatives. Twelfth: That while providing revenue for the sup port of the General Govosnmont by duties upon im posts; sound policy requires such an adjustment of tbeso imposts as to encourage the development of tho industrial interests of the whole country, and we com mend that policy of national exchanges which secures to the workingmen liberal wages, to agriculture remu nerating prices, to merchants and manufactures an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and indepen dence. Thirteenth: That we pretest against any sale or alineation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of the free Homestead policy which regards the settlers as paupers or suppli cants for public bounty, and we demand the passage by Congress of the complete and satisfactory Home stead measure which has already passed the House. Fourteenth: That the National Republican party is opposed to any change in our Naturalization laws, or any State legislation by which the rights of citizen ship hitherto accorded to immigrants fromforeign lands sbsll be abridged or impaired; and in favor of giving 'a full and efficient proteetion.to the rights of all clas ses of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home or atroad. \ Fifteenth: That appropriations by Congress for River and Harbor Improvements of a national char acter, required for the accommodation and security of an existing Commerce, are, authorized by the Constitu tion and justified by an obligation of the Government to protect the lives and property of its citizens. Sixteenth: That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean'is imperatively demanded by the interests of the Whole country; that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction, and that as preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should be promptly established. Seventeenth: Finally, having tbufc set forth our dis tinctive principles and views, we invite the coopera tion of aril citizens, however differing on other ques tions, who sabstintiaily agree with us in their affirm ance and support. We ought not to judge a man by 65s great qualities, bat by the use he makes of then*. A Letter from Mr. Seward. Fcom the Evening Post. 'the following letter has been addressed By Mr. Seward to the gentlemen of the Central Republican Committee, who invited hini to at tend a meeting to he held for the ratification of the National Convention. It will be seen that Mr. Seward tabes his defeat with the same calm dignity and self-respect which has always, characterized his political conduct. In the re verse of fortune, as in success, he does not for get that his cause is greater than himself, and that the true patriot must look for bis reward, not in personal triumphs, bnt in the triumphs of principle. He regrets that he will not now be able to recompense bis friends for their long and earnest fidelity; but ,he evidently looks forward to retirement with a feeling of relief and joy. Mr. Seward cordially approves of the doctrines presented by the Convention at Chicago, and bears his willing testimony to the ] ability, the character, and the zeal of the per-1 son placed in nomination. The graceful and j becoming terms in which Mr. Seward expresses i his sincere concurrence in the action of the j Convention will only endear him the more to j his friends, and to all others who prize true .greatness of soul. “Auburn, May 21, 1860. “Gentlemen* : I will not affect to conceal the sensibility with which I have received the letters in whjch yon and so many other re spected friends have tendered to me expressions of renewed and enduring confidence.' These letters will remain with me as assurances in future years that, although I was not unwil ling to await, even for another age, .the vindi cation-of my political principles, yet that they did nevertheless receive the generous support of many good, wise and patriotic men of my own time. “Such assurances, however made, under the circumstances now existing, derive their price less value largely from tho fact that upon me through the channels of private cor respondence, and altogether unknown to the world. You will at once perceive that such ex pressions would become painful to iHe, dhd justly offensive to the community, if they-should be allowed to take on ant phtilid or conven tional form of manifestation. For this reason, if it were respectful and consistent with your own public purposes, I Would have delayed my reply to you until I could have had an opportu nity of making it verbally next week on ray way to Washington, after completing the ar rangements for the repairs upon my dwelling here rendered necessary by a recent fire. “The same reason determines the also to de cline your kind invitation to attend the meeting in which you pVoposfe some demonstrations of respect to myself, white so justly considering the nominations which have been made by the recent National Convention at Chicago. At the same time, it is your right to have a frank and candid exposition of my own opinions and sentiments on that important subject. “My friends know very well that, while they have always generously made my promotion to public trusts their own exclusive care, mine has only been to execute them faithfully, so as to be able, at tho close of their assigned terms, to resign them into the hands of the people with out forfeiture of the public confidence. The presentation of my name to the Chicago Con vention was thus their act, not mine. The dis appointment, therefore, is their disappointment, not mine. It may have found them Unpre pared. On the other no senti ment either of disappointment or"discoritent: for who, in any possible case, could without presumption, claim that a great national party ought to choose him for its candidate for the first office in the gift of the American people ? 1 find in tho resolutions of the Convention a platform as satisfactory to me as if it had been framed with my own hands, and in the candi dates adopted by it, eminent and able Republi cans, with whom I have cordially cooperated in maintaining the principles embodied in tlmt excellent creed. I cheerfully give them a sin cere afid earnest support. “I trust, moreover, that those with whom I hate labored so long that common service in a noble cause has Created between them qrid'my self relation* of personal friendship Hlnsur paased in the experience of political men, will indulge me in a confident belief that no sense of disappointment will be allowed by them to hin der or delay, or in any Way embarrass, the pro gress of that cause to the consummation which is demanded by a patriotic regard to tho safety and welfare ofithe country and the fnfcrestj of mankind. I “I urn, sincerely and respectfully. ••Four friend and obedient servant, . “WILLIAM 11. bEWARf). “To Messrs. Charles C- Nott. Win. It. Bull, A, J. Williamson, C. 8. Spencer, and F. W. Shepherd—for the Republican’ Central Committee.” A Bab Lookout for Suckers. —Tho Balti more Patriot has heed informed by one of* tho delegates to the late Chicago Convention that the committee who were appointed to convey to Mr. Lincoln the official notice of his nomina tion as their candidate for President, repaired to Springfield, 111., In the fulfilment of this duty. He states that Mr. Lincoln resides in a com fortable mansion in tho suburbs of the city, and as the committee proceeded to hia residence they attracted much attention. Ills neighbors, knowing that Mr. Lincoln was *a strictly tem perance man, at once despatche their servants with waiters covered with bottles of wine, brandy, whiskey, &c., to enable him to offer what they conceived was proper to these distin guished guests. Mr. Lincoln met tho servant who had tho charge of there freshnients, and requested them to say to his friends and neigh bors that he duly Appreciated their kindness, but he could not consent to violate a long estab lished rule of conduct, and 'that he should treat his guests with plentiful draughts of delicious and pure ice water* Half Votes. —The way half Totes ocar in National Conventions is this ; Each Congres sional district is represented by two delegates who, may or may not vote together—that de pends upon their instructions. Where thedeio gates vote together, it counts one for the candi date for whome they vote; but should they divide then each one of their votes is counted a half vote for the candidates receiving them. The same is the case with Senatorial represen tation. De Lave, the rope-walker, and the rival of Biondin, expects to walk across the Passaic river, a short distance below the Paterson Falls. The river at the point selected is some five hun dred fast wide, and the rope will be one hun dred and fifty feet above the surface of the water. The feat will be performed iir a week or two. Biondin will this spring repeat bis rope-walking feats at Niagara, and “pancritic attitudes” may be expected from the illustrious Professor Sweet. There is every symptom of the rope-walking mania raging this season with renewed virulence. A Sensible Opinion. —The Boston Herald, a Democratic organ, speaks as follows of the work of the Republicans at Chicago: “The nomination is a strong one. arid will he difficult to defeat, and those who flatter them selves that the Democrats are to walk over the Presidential course with ease will find them selves mistaken. the Convention at Chicago has given evidence of shrewdness, no less in the nomination of Mr. Lincoln than in the platform adopted, which is progressive without being ultra, and unless it .is met by a.plat form equally plain and intelligible; it will re quire no prophet to interpret the handwriting on the wall." A few days ago, a Mr. Cooper wae run over and killed by a train of cars on the Hudson River Railroad, at Carmansville. The accident having been unavoidable as far as the engineer is concerned, he was exonerated from all blame; bat sach a deep impression was made upon bis mind by the mangled corpse, that the next day ho did not run his locomotive, and the day fol lowing, upon passing the place of the accident, ho swooned, and soon after died literally broken hearted.
