(Published bj Request.) ' Bead Cattle. There are a few greater annoyances to a former, than what are ordinarily denominated Road Cattle. These animals are let oat upon the highway by their owners every morning, and left to shift for themselves, which, like mofct vagrants, they generally manage to do, at the-ezpense of other people. Their ingenuity in letting down fences and opening gates, and their activity in leaping almost jsvery species of enclosure, are too well-known to require ns to enlarge upon them.. Almost every one has had wofui experience upon his own crops. Not very many years ago a race of highwaymen {set public justice at defiance, but were at last forced to yield to, the determination of their I fellow-citizens ; these cattle however with no Jitter, character, have succeeded in setting us at utter defiance. Has not the time come when this ihould no longer be submitted to, and are there not enough public spirited citizens to put a.-stop to it f . object in this article is to look a little into the law of the matter, and to suggest-to those who are suffering from the depredations (f these animals, their rights and remedies. By the common law, a person had a double remedy for any trespass committed by cattle upon his property—an action of trespass for damages—or taking up the animals doing the damage and impounding them until satisfaction was made.- In so for as these remedies have not been restricted by act of Assembly they re main in full force. The action of trespass re mains untouched; the right of. distraining cattle has been regulated, extended, and would probably be held by the courts to have done away entirely with the old common law process, and that any one now taking up cattle proceed according to the act of Assembly. Fitzwator v«. Stout, 4. 11. p. 22; By the acts of 1700 and 1729, it is provided that fences shall be of sufficient rail or bars four feet and a half high, the distance from the ■ground to the bottom not to exceed nine inches; mill “whoever not having their ground so en closed shall hurt, kill, or do damage to any kine, sheep, hogs or goats of any other persons, by hunting or driving them out of or said grounds, shall ijejiable, to make good r.i 1 damages sustained thereby, to the owner of too raid cattle.” By the act of April 13th, 1 ! 07, a mode of proceeding is pointed out which may bo pursued where any trespass is commit ted -upon improved and enclosed land. Co that where a farmer finds cattle doing (l inage upon his land, enclosed as directed by the act regulating fences, it is only necessary for him to pursue this act relative to strays.— But the question often arises, what remedy hare I for trespass upon my unenclosed land, my hard not fenced according to act of Assem bly, my grass on the side of the highway ? Tim have the right of your action of trespass nndcf the common law. Addison Reports, p. - 253. That law no fences. It adopts the great principle “sic utere tuo 'ut alienum non hedees" —so you use your own property as not to injure your neighbor. I am not bound to protect my land from his cattle; he must keep his cattle from my land. The man who Ice-ps a cow, a dog, a horse, must so keep him ’fiat he injures not bis neighbor. He is not to 1 t him loose upon the community and put every man to the expense of protecting himself against his incursions. He must keep him up, and if he does not, he is liable for the damages he commits. A man has the right of passage with his cattle over the highway. He has no right to turn them ont to pasture along its aides; and if he does I can bring an action against him, for the "dami.ge done to my pro perly over which the highway passes. The owners of land on each side of a public highway, owns to the centre of the road. They have the exclusive right to the soil, subject to the right of passage in the public. They are en titled to all remedies for its injury. The tile to the soil, stone, wood, or grass, continues in the owner of the land. They may carry water or pipes underneath the highway, and make every nse that is consistent with the easement over it. Kent’s Commentaries, vol. 3d. p 432. Cham ber* vs. Furney, 1 Yeates, 167. In the case of Lewis et. al. vs. Jones et. al., 1, Barr, 336, decided in 1847, these principles are referred to, and a party who deposited fence rails on a highway, was hold guilty of trespass against the owner of the soil. The court hol ding "no principle more familiar or better set “ tied than the right to the soill of f a highway '• resides in the proprietor of the ’ land over “ which it has been laid ; and that a citizen has " no more than a license, to pass along it with " carriages and cattle, an abuse of which, like *• the abuse of any other license given, not by “ the party, but by the lawlntakes him a tres “ passer against the proprietor from the begin “ ing.” The highway is therefore merely an easement over the land of the owner, and his legal rights in relation thereto are the same as to any other part of his property. In fact they should be particularly favored, as the law pre vents his protection of this property by a fence ; wren shea Id he desire it. Our remedies therefore for injuries by cattle to “Improved and enclosed land,” are distress or action at lair ; to nninclased land, action at Jaw alone. , Neither of them sufficiently prompt or'ssvwo for those who intentionally let their cattle loose upon -the -public, although very proper fur cases of accidental damages. At the present day, there are no commons, at least in our locality, am} the mere-letting loose of any animal npon "the highway, except to drive it along it, should bo visited with a severe penalty. In the city ofPhilralelphia, you are protected by ordinance, but in the rest of the Stata, the value of the grass eaten would be the measure of punishment for the trespass.— Germantown Ttbgraph. j Wbat Did the Democbatic Pa bit Die Or! —The journals of tho country are holding a post-mortem examination over the Democratic party* All sort* of Opinions are expressed as to tho causa of The verdict of the majority appears to be, “died of Douglas."

Editorial Correspondence of the Agitator. ■Washington, June 1, 1860. THE JAPANESE j; Are still here, but the excitement in L regard to them is dying out. They hare been feasted and flattered and treatied and stored at and annoyed to their entire satisfaction, and the whole visit is getting to be a source of ridicule by the comic papers (and no wonder!) and to be laughed at by the whole nation. For people who call themselves Brothers of the Sun, they manage to keep exceedingly cool. Perhaps it is the nature of their philosophy, perhaps their own natnre which enables them to be so im perlurnble. One thing is certain that they be held all the wonders of our Patent QS'ce, all the collations of science and art in the Smith sonian Institution, all the complex and power ful machinery of the Navy Yard without evin cing in their looks, or expressing the least sur prise. This cannot be attributed to stolid ignorance, as they are quite intelligent and take notes of everything which they see with great rapidity, aud their artists take sketches to il lustrate. Yet nothing surprises them, although nearly everything they see is new to them.— The steam engine and its thousand applications to supercede manual labor, the printing press, the photograph and even lucifer matches are novelties. Unlike the Chinese they do not pro fess a higher state of civilization than they possess. They are queer people, and I suppose they are not to be blamed or abased because they are not keenly alive to new sensations.— The truth is, we as a people are too fond of “sensations,” and if we can learn a lesson from the imperturability of the Japanese, their visit will not have been made in vain. I ought, however, to except one sensation to which these heathen princes are not indifferent—a sensa tion which unfortunately precedes as well as follows our Christian civilization, viz.; the sen sation, created by alcohol in its different shapes in the way of drink. I learn that champagne is a favorite drink .with, them, and that they have token full notes of the process of its manufacture. No doubt the New York Aider men will vie with each other as the “old public functionaries” do here, in guzzling their dark skinned guests with it, at the public expense. They are to leave here for Philadelphia on the 7tb inst. MOUNT TERNON. To visit Washington without going to Mount Vernon makes one feel as if the trip were not wholly completed. Aside from the fact that there repose the remains of the truest and greatest man of modern times, there are other associations which now add to the interest of a visit. The late effort of the ladies of the coun try to buy Mount Vernon, and their present effort to raise the wind to keep it in repair; the lectures and Bonner articles of Edward Everett in the Ledger; and the desire to see John A. Washington, the man who got one thousand dollars an acre for land not worth fifty, lead many to visit the spot who are prompted more by curiosity than veneration for the Geeat Depaeted. j On Saturday morning last in company with a few friends I embarked on a little steamer and was soon gliding down the beautiful Potomac. The dense forests on either side, broken only by an occasional plantotion; the white-sailed sloops and schooners above and below ns on the stream ; a clear sky and a gentle breeze, made the occasion one of real delight to us. Passing Alexandria,' an old Virginia city which has stood still for- fifty years, we at length reached our place of destination. A winding path through the forest brought us first to that Mecca of American hearts—the tomb of Wash ington. It is a pltpn brick vault at the entrance of which, inside of an iron railing gate, are two sarcophagi; one containing the remains of Washington, and the other those'of bis wife. Of the feelings which crowded* themselves upon me during the short time I stood at the tomb, I ' need not now speak.. The struggles through which the Cheat Heeo passed, both of mind and body; the sufferings of the brave men who fought under him; the tyranny of the mother country which compelled the fearful warfare; the glorious caose of liberty for this country, and the bright example to all others which will be free; the glorious victories which followed his ‘footsteps, his civil honors, and the eternal gratitude of a nation—these thoughts will pass rapidly through the patriot’s mind as he stands at the sacred plsce, and he will leave it with feelings of sadness mingled with awe, I need hardly describe the bouse which stands on the summit of the hill about fifty rods from the tomb. It Is a plain wooden structure, substantially' built, but at present in a very dilapidated, down-at-tbe-heel condition. All the rooms were locked np except the -anti chamber, and this was nearly filled with boxes of furniture belonging to John A. Washington, who, the public will be glad to hear, is gsisg. to mova-this week to some other place. • The La dies Association will then' take possession and keep things in better order. In the anti-cham- THE TIOGA COXTNT Y AGITATOR. ber we saw, among other relics of the great thief, the key of the Bastile presented to him by La Fayette. That famous prison was built some live hundred years ago, but was destroyed during the revolution of July, 1789, in which La Fayette took part. The key resembles, any ottibr, except the end of the handle, which is square instead of round. There were about two. hundred visitors there and about twenty in the room at one time. One of them inquired what that key wtifc. t)n beihg told that it was the key of the Bastile she looted- quite know ing, and said, “Ah 1 yes! jhst so; I would like to see the Bastile, .but it is prbhably locked up in the next room I” tiuite a' number of people had a bad “coughing spell" about that time, and a large number of handkerchiefs were applied to very bad colds till arotihd the room; but nobody laughed. In the afternoon we started on our trip up the river to Washington. The sun was very hot and the sky began to grow dark in the North West. For more than twenty-live minutes we watched the storm approaching ds. Sheet and fork lightning traversed the heavens for from ten to one hundred degrees, and every flash was followed by a crack of thunder which rattled along the sky most deafeningly. '-The rain flame down in torrents, and the passengers gathered together on the lower dpflk of the boat under cover. The storm was still approaching us, and at length struck the boat causing her to careen, which added no little to the consternation. For nearly an hour the little steamer struggled along against storm and tide. We could not see far ther than five rods from the boat’s side. Al though there was no panic among the passen gers, yet there were many faces white with fear. I asked a woman who was standing near me, what she thought of our situation. “Oh 1" she replied, “isn’t it grand 7 I never was out of sight of land before I” But soon the tornado had passed over os, and in a few mintes we landed on terra firma once more. The storm had blown down several large trees on Penn sylvania Avenue, and had damaged considera ble property. Among the rest it had taken the roof off Douglas’s house, which his enemies say is only prophetically ominous of the scalp ing he is to get at Baltimore on the 18th inst.; and this brings me to speak of politics. DOUGLAS AGAIN, At the conclusion of the Debate on the Sen ate’s Slave Code Resolutions in the discussion of which the “irrepressible conflict" was trans ferred from Charleston to Washington, it was generally conceded by everybody that the breach between the sectional factions of, the “harmoni ous Democracy” was wider , than before. It was observed, too, that there was a bitterness of feeling engendered between Douglas, Pugh and Clingman representing the Popular Sovereignty faction on the one hand, and the Slave Code Democracy led by Jeff. Davis on the other hand, which no Baltimore Convention could heal, except by the nomination of a man not commit ted to either. The middle course of Toombs of Georgia who repudiated not only the slave obde doctrine but also squatter sovereignty is the only hope affording a basis of compromise.— But why speculate 7 Let us wait and see 1 ■ Of one thing, however, We are quite certain, and that is this -. that the adoption of the sec ond of the series of resolutions referred to by the vote of every Democratic Senior in Congress but also shows the aggressive spirit of modem Democracy upon the liberties of the people.— Here is the resolution : Reiolved, That negro slavery, as it exists in fifteen states of this Union, composes an important portion of tbeir domestic institutions, inherited from their an cestors, and.ezisting at the adaption of the Constitu tion, by which it is recognised ns constituting an im portant element in the apportionment of powers among the states} and that no change of opinion or feeling on tH© part of the non-slnreholding states of the Union, in relation to this institution, can justify them or their citizens in open or covert attacks thereon, wilfe a view to their oVerlbrow; and that all such attacks are in manifest violation of the mutual and solemn pledge to protect and defend each other, given by the states respectively on entering into the constitutional compact which formed the Union, and a manifest breach of faith and a violation of the most solemn ob ligations. ]] Now as a simple (declaration of principles there is nothing particularly surprising in this as coming from pro-slavery party; hut when Mr. Harlan of lowa offered to amend this resolution by the proviso that the freedom of the press, and the freedom of speech in discus sing the morality of slavery shall never be inter fered toUkf it was voted down unanimously by the Democrats, and voted for by every Repub lican—-the vote, I think, standing thirty-six. to twenty. -If this does not prove conclusively that the Democratic party is essentially arrayed against the liberties of the people, what more la required ? So fnr os the Southern States are concerned, everybody knows, who reads, that the freedom of speech and of the press is totally prohibited; and that those who seek to exercise these rights are subjected to all sorts of con tumely and personal abuse even to the sacrifice of life. Yet notwithstanding these facts, here we see the Democratic party by its representa tion in Congress, instead of re-affirming these rights, voting them away, and shamefully repu diating the doctrine that the people have now or ever had such rights. In view of these facts does it make any difference whether the discor dant elements of the Democracy get together at Baltimore or not T Will it make any.partic ular difference who or who is not nominated there ? Will the people sustain such a party with such a damning record as that? We think not. Honest Old Abe, backed by the party, of the people, will take possession of the whole House, and inaugurate a new era in the history of the-country, by restoring the government to the policy of its founders.. In the courte of his administration, we hope-to'be able to tip the facts fully demonstrated, that United State# Senators are the servants atd the masters of the people ; and that Freedom Is National and Slavery Sectional.

The Last Disgrace Av'didod. Some people will be glad to hear that the Democratic party was saved, by the Charleston Convention, from a disgrace which Would have been overwhelming. For particulars read the following, from the New York Leader , a prom inent Democratic journal in the city of New York, contained in its daguerreotype of the Charleston Convention: "Wo Democratic brethren of the Union on being savld from the last and worst disgrace which could havo befallen our party. Amidst all the unpleasant, deplorable and tumultuous incidents which marked the conduct of certain parties within the walls of the Charleston Convention ; amidst tho many disingenuous, not to say dishonorable tricks, to which certain men (otherwise respectable) did not hesitate to stoop in their opposition to Judge Douglas; nevertheless, and in spite of all this, there was not to be found in tho whole Conven- Sn one delegate with brass enough on his fore ad, or federal gold enough in his fob, to stand up in his place and insult the moral rectitude of that body by even suggesting as the name of a candidate that of—James Buchanan I This shows—as indeed all history teaches—that there is but one man in eaoh age of a country who can touch bottom in the pit of political degra dation."

Teh thousand inquiries will be made os to the looks, the habits', tastes, and other charac teristics of Honest Abe. We anticipate a few of them! ■ Mr. Lincoln stands six feet ahd four inches high in bis stockings. His frame is not ihuscu lar, but gaunt and wiry; bis arms are loiig, but not unreasonably so for a person of his height; his lower limbs are not disproportioned to his body. In walking, his gait, though. Arm, is never brisk. He steps slowly ahd deliberately, almost always with his head inclined forward and his hands clasped behind his back. In matters of dress he is by no means precise. Always clean, he is never fashionable; he is careless, but not slovenly. In manner he is remarkably cordial, and, at the same time, sim ple. His politeness is always sincere, but never elaborate and oppressive. A wanh shake of the hand and a warmer smile of recognition are bis methods of greeting his friends. At rest his features, though those of a man of mark, are not such as belong to a handsome man; but when his fine dark-gray eyes are lighted up by any emotion, and his features begin their play, ho would be chosen from among a crowd as one who had in him not only the kind sentiments which women love, but the heavier metal of which full-grown men and Presidents are made. His hair is black, and though thin, is wiry. His head sits well on his shoulders, but beyond that it defies de scription. It nearer resembles that of Clay than that of Webster; but it is unlike either. It is very large, and phrenologically well pro portioned, betokening power in all its develop ments. A slightly Roman nose, a wide-cut mouth, and a dark complexion, with the ap pearance of having been weather-beaten, com pletes the description. In his personal habits Mr. Lincoln is as sim ple as a child. Ho loves a good dinner, and eats with the appetite which goes with a great brain ; but his food is plain and nutritious.— He never drinks intoxicating liquors of any sort —not even a glass of wine. He is not ad dicted to tobacco in any of its shapes. He never uses profane language. A friend says that once, when in a towering rage, in conse quence of the efforts of certain parties to per petrate a fraud upon the State, he was . heard to say, “They shan’t do it, d—n ’em!” but beyond an expression of this, kind his bitterest feelings never carry him. He never gambles; he never indulges in any games of chance. He is particularly cautious about incurring peou -niary obligations'for any purpose- whatever, and in debt he is never content until the score' is discharged. We presume he owes no man a dollar. He never speculates. The rage fdr the sudden acquisition of wealth never took hold of him. His gains from his profession have been moderate, but sufficient for his purposes. While others have dreamed of gold he has been in the pursuit of knowledge. In all his deal ings he has the reputation of being generous, but exact, and above all, religiously honest. He would be a bold man who would say that Abraham Lincoln ever wronged any one out of a cent, or ever spent a dollar that he had not honestly earned. His struggles in early life have made him careful of money ; but his gen erosity with bis own is proverbial. He is a regular attendant upon religious worship, and though not a communicant, is a pew-holder and liberal supporter of the Presbyterian Church in Springfield, to which Mrs. Lincoln belongs. He is a scrupulous teller of the truth—too exact in his notions to suit the atmosphere of Washington as it now is. His enemies may say that he tells Black’Republican lies; but no man ever charged that, in a professional ca pacity, or as a citizen dealing with bis neigh bors, ho would depart from the Scriptural com mand. At home he lives like a gentleman of moderate means, and simple tastes. A good sized house of wood, simply but tastefully fur nished, surrounded by trees and flowers, is his own, and there he lives, at peace with himself, the idol of his family, and for hi? honesty, abil ity and patriotism, the admiration of his coun trymen. If Mr. Lincoln is elected President he will carry but little that is ornamental to the White country must accept his sincerity, his ability, and his honesty ( in the mould in which they ord Cask lie will not be able to make as polite a bow as Frank Pierce, but ho will not com’mence anew the agitation of the slavery question by recommending to Congress any Kansas-Nebraska bills, lie may not pre side at tho Presidential dinners with the ease and grace which distinguish the “venerable public functionary," Mr. Buchanan, but he will not create the necessity for a Covode Com mittee and the disgraceful revelations of Cor nelius Wendell. He will take to the Presiden tial chair just tho qualities which the country now demands to, save it from impending de struction—ability that no man can question, firmness that nothing can overbear, honesty that never has been impeached, and patriotism that never despairs. In a speech at a Republican ratification meet ing at Harrisburg, on Friday evening, Senator Cameron, while declaring that be had hoped for tho nomination of Mr. Seward, described Mr. Lincoln as “a candidate .less known in public life, perhaps, but who, on all occasions, when demands have been made upon his zeal and patriotism, has borne himself bravely and honorably. In regard to the great interests of Pennsylvania, the subject of protection to labor, his record is clears emphatic, and beyond sus picion. lie will require no indorsement to convince the people of Pennsylvania that their interests will.be perfectly secure in his hands. Himself n laborer in early life, he has struggled with adversity until he has - reached the proud position he now occupies, by the single aid of a strong purpose, seconded by an unyielding will’; and it is not in the heart of Pennsylvania to doubt such a man. The laboring men of this State ever control the ballot-box when they arise in the majesty of their strength. Let them go to the election next Autumn, and, while they are securing their own interests, let them elevate to the highest place in their elec tive gift, Abraham Lincoln, a workingman like themselves." ‘ Douglas an n Dignity. —Our neighbor of the Democrat, in as article upon the Presidential nominations tries to ridicule dignity.
