FOR THE information of a few wily per sons residing in Columbia county, we pub lish below the FOURTH SECTION of an act to incorporate the State Agricultural Society, which became a law in 1851. This SEC TION, carefully read, will explain how the ' Agricultural Association of this county re ceives one hundred dollars out of the Coun ty Treasury. There are people who have not read this law, and we would advise them to peruse it, or at least this section, that they may batter understand this im portant matter. It reads as follows: AN ACT to Incorporate the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society.—Penn. Laws, I*sl, page 289. SECTION 4.— That when any number of in dividuals into an Agricultural or Horticultu ral Society, or any Agricultural or Horticul tural Society now organized within any of the counties of this Commonwealth, shall have adopted a constitution and by-laws for their government, elected their officers, and raised annually by the voluntary contribu tion of ita members, any sum of money which shall have been actually paid into their treasury for the purpose of being dis - bursed for the promotion of agricultural knowledge and improvement, and that part be attested by the affidavit of their Presi dent and Treasurer, filed with the Commis sioners of the county, the said cpunty Soci ety shall be entitled to receive annually a like sum from the Treasurer of their said county :— Piovidid , That said annual pay ment out of the county funds shall not ex ceed one hundred dollars Providedfurther, That but one such Society in any county shall be entitled to receive such appropria tion in any one year under this act. Approved the 29th day of March, 1851, by VVM. F. JOHNSTON, Governor. Hon. Rirhardson L. Wright. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, a Republican paper, pays the following high tribute to the political and social worth of Richardson L. Wright, the Democratic candidate for Audi tor General. Coming from such a source the compliment cannot be otherwise than deserved : "Richardson L. Wright, Esq , Democratic candidate for Auditor General, and lor many years past a member of the Legislature from Philadelphia county, was in our city on Monday, at the St. Charies Hotel, and left on Tuesday morning upon a visit to some relatives in Washington county. We regret that both parties do not nominate as honest and upright men as Mr. Wright as candidate for office. During his service in the Legislature he consietuiilly opposed cor ruption, and although rather more ultra than the practice of his party in his votes on banks and corporations generally, he pro ved himself a valuable legislator." However men may differ from him in political prin ciples, ho is personally unexceptionable— as we haveevery reason to believe is the case with his opponent, Mr. Cochran, the Republican candidate." Humbugs. The disposition of some people to follow the shallow humbugs got up by artful dema gouges, is most singular. They prevail in every department of business and in every thing. Even religion does not escape their direful influence, but it too must contend against such disgraceful nonsense as Miller ism, Mormonism and a thousand-and-one other equally absurd pretensions, l'olitics of course can not escape their pestiferous influence. All that surprises us is that there are so many people always so ready to follow them—to believe in them—to be fooled by them. Look at the list of them that have year after year been brought for ward by the Opposition—troubled the peo ple for a day, and then disappeared forever! Who that lived then has forgotten the hard cider fever of 1840? Or who, how in 1R54 the whole American nation was to be eat en up by the Pope, unless a political vic tory was given to the Opposition ? But how soon did visions of the Pope cease when "bleeding Kansas" and "shrieking freedom" came along ? Now these fraudu lent seekers for sympathy are laid in deep and dishonorable graves and other false and dishonest humbugs are made to take their place. PETERSON'S LADIES' NATIONAL MAGAZINE.— The October number has arrived, and a verv good number it is, opening with a capital engraving, from an original design, in which a little boy and girl are feeding young chickens, while Pater-fumilias, exult ing in his healthy and kind-hearted chil dren, looks on approvingly and delighted. A steel plate of Parisian Fashions, a fine wood-engraving of " The Young Heir's Re turn," crowds of other wood-cuts, with mu sic, &c , make up a large array of illustra tions. The reading matter in this magazine is always good—thanks to the tact and taste of Charles J. Peterson, its well-read editor, who is himself a very popular novelist. CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS FOR THE MIL LION.—T. B. Poterson & Brother, No. 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, have follow ed up their success in publishing the cheap edition of the Waverly novels by issuing, in the same Btyle, the complete works of the inimitable Dickens. These extremely popular stories will lie completed in twenty eight volumes, at the low price ol twenty five cents each, or the full sel lor five dol lars. A volume will be issued every Satur day, until the edition is completed. The author is going to visit us this fall, and give readings, and will revive the interest | in these stories, which, lor humor, pathos, power of description and originality of sketching character, are unrivalled by the works of any living writer. The Christmas tales are full of the cheerlul spirit of the fireside. The third volume, published this day of this edition for the masses, contains the continuation of the Pickwick Papers. WALTER SCOTT'S NOVELS —Anne of Gei erstein forms the fourteenth weekly issue ofT. B. Peterson & Brothers, cheap edition of Waverly Novels for the Million. These celebrated novels are now being published at the rate of one a week, and the whole twenty-six volumes can be had free of post age, by sending five dollars to the publish ers. As persons now have an opportunity hero to secure his works, which has never before been oflered, and which may never occur again, the present chance should be taken advantage of by all, who wish to pro cure these standard works of fiction, at a comparatively low price. Address all or ders and remittances to the publishers, T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, Pa., and they will receive immediate attention. ARE THE VOTERS HEADY ?—But a few days now intervene before the October election ! Are the voters of this County aware of the great importance of success on the second Tuesday in October 1 We urge upon our friends thus to make preparations for a FULL VOTE. Let arrangements be maue to poll every vote. Your opponents will not lose an available vote. We must be equally active and vigilant, and a certain triumph awaits us, not only in the County, but in the State. WE would remind all whom this may concern, to remember that inorder to secure a vote at the next general election, it is necessary to be assessed, at least ten days previous. No legal voter should fail to exa mine the assessor's list to see whether his name is upon it. and if not, proceed at once to have himself assessed. Young hands at voting should attend to this matter. It is necessary that the Democrats poll their full vote this fall. Get ready for the election, and do not neglect it. Go to the polls early on the day ot election; and see that your neighbor does not stay at home, neglecting his duly. LADIES' AMERICAN MAGAZINE This work for October has been received. Few Mag azines, if any, surpass this one. It contains handsome engravings, and the most choice literature. No pains are spared by Mr. White to make this Magazine both interest ing and instructive. It is published by HKN RV WHITE, No. 7 lieekmau Street, New York. It is an excellent family Magazine. Subscribe, ye lovers of good reading and fashionable engravings. THE Sullivan County Democrat came out last week with a new suit. It looks neat and reads well. It is Democratic up to the hilt, and cuts a wide swath through the Op position in its county, considering its dimen sions. It is a faithful advocate of the Dem ocratic party, and its labors in that section no doubt are duly appreciated. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE is on hand for September, filled, as usual, with very inter esting matter. It is a mon excellent pubs lication ; surpasses all other Magazines for solid and instructive reading.

THE DEMOCRACY or THE INTERIOR. —The Democracy of Lebanon county, in Conven tion on the 17th inst., resolved that it was inexpedient to nominate a County Ticket The Slate Ticket was endorsed, and Dr. C. D. GLONINGKK appointed Senatorial, and JOHN FHANTS Representative Delegate to the State Convention. The Democratic Con vention of Montgomery county, held on the 13th inst., nominated the following ticket: Assembly—John Dismant, David Stoneback, Dr. Charles H. Hill; District Attorney—S. N. Rich; Treasurer—Aram Drake; Com missioner—Daniel Carr; Director of Poor Adam Kneedlor; Auditor—Jones Detwiler; County Surveyor—Abel Rambo. The Dem ocratic Convention of Northampton county met on the 20lh inst., and nominated Peter Ellenberger and Jacob Cope for Assembly ; Thomas lleckman for Sheriff; Daniel Seig fried for Treasurer; Jacob Houck for Com missioner; Samuel Brunuer for Coroner; and W. W. Schuyler for Distlict Attorney. George W. Stein and Jacob Cole were ap pointed Delegates to the 4th ol March Con vention at Harrisburg. JUDGE WOODWARD is holding court this week in Sullivan county. The people of Sullivan have lately pur chased a new bell for their Court House.— The Democrat says, "The Temple of Justice" now possesses a "spokesman" of its own. HENRY L. CAKE, Esq., has disposed of the Mining Record, published at l'ottsville, Pa., to William B. Sipes, Esq., formerly edi tor of the Motional Argus, published in Phila delphia. Success to Mr. Sipes, and the same to the retiring editor. The Dome of Buchanan Endorses his Admin istration. The Democratic Convention of Lancas ter county, the home of Buchanan, most cordially endorses his Administration. To him it must be a pleasing reflection that the machinations and abuse of his enemies have failed to sever the sterling Democracy of his own county from his standard. They have revelled in mischief and grown hoarse with boasting that their disorganizing schemes has distroyed the confidence of the party in the President and his Cabinet. Their inventions have proved flat and un profitable, and their curses are fas) coming homo to roost. County after county in the noble Keystone Slate are enrolling them selves in favor of the President policy of her "favorite son." The lime is not far distant when the people of the whole Union will acknowledge that the national honor has been degraded and outraged by the most contemplable and reckless assaults upon the person of the highest officer of the nation, and this, too, aside from all ob ject of public good. Personal, selfish and revengeful in their assumed causes for at tack, his enemis have sought to coerce the nation to their aid, forgetful and wholly re gardless that he was the chosen, represen tative and custodian, before the world, of the honor of this people. Could he have served them and preserved the honor of the nation is the question which ia now being answered.— Pcnnsylvanian. HARVEST IN IRELAND —The London Times 6ays in regard to the harvest in Ireland, that there has been a supplementary summer in Ireland this year. A fortnight ago peo ple thought that the great heat was all over, and that a premature autumn might be looked for. Never was there a greater de lusion. For more than a week Dublin has been roasting under a sun more hot and brilliant than that of July, and in the coun try generally the weather is equally brilliant. The Cork Constitution thus reports that on Friday the self registering thermometer at the Cork Institution marked 72 degrees in the shade, and on Saturday it went up to 73. On Sunday and yesterday it reached 72. The highest point gained at any previ ous period of this month was 71 degrees.— At the period of last year corresponding with Saturday, Sunday and yesterday, the highest was 65. The getting in of the har vest is progressing rapidly, and a considera ble quantity of corn has been lodged in the haggards. Wheat and barley have turned out very well, but the oats crop, it is gener ally stated, will prove under an average.— The green crops have received the greatest benefit from the late rains. Potatoes are turning out remarkably well—better than was some time ago expected. Apprehen sions of blight are dying out, and the crop is now, with little exception, looked on as safo. INDIAN 'I ROUBLES IN TEXAS —We have advices from Galveston to the 10th inst.— The Justin Gazette learns from Captain Ford that it is his belief that the depreda tions, in the way of killing and stealing hor ses and cattle, a few miles above Austin, have been committed by Indians. They seem to have made their appearance about the same lime at several points on the fron tier. On the 23d and 24th of August, they stole a number of horses and killed a negro man in Comanche county, and it is report ed they were hovering around the town of Bandera near that period. The Cameron Senlinal states that a rumor had reached that place, through a gentle man from the upper country, that a portion of the Reserve Indians, who were being con ducted to their new quarters, by the gov ernment troops, escaped, a part making to wards the Lampasas Springs, the balance striking for the head waters of the Colorado. THE FASHIONS.— The late Parisian fashion of ladies going dressed with the utmost plainness to church, has brought out in America a similar desire, and at present modest dresses, of the Quaker grades of colors, with plain full skirts without floun ces, are becoming the bonton of the day. These " couleurs ecues," as the French call them, are elegant in their simplicity, and will look far more tasteful and lady-like than the brilliant notions vulgar ta6te loves to spread itself in. For concerts and operas, this winter, ex tensive show in dross will be carried out to correspond with the newly imported striped opera cloaks of bright green, scarlet, purple, gold color, Sic. Lord help the man who is owned by a tip-top fashionable wife ! He will find that " union" is not always " strength," as the sailor said when he saw the purser mixing his rum with water/ PROGRESS or THE RAILROAD. —The track of the Sunbury and Erie Railioad is now laid to Rattle-snake run, seventeen miles west of Lock Haven. Further laying of the track on this end of the line has been suspended until spring, as the company require all the rails that can be obtained to complete the laying of the track from Erie to Warren— a piece of road that will no doubt do a profitable business as soon as completed.— Exchange. HON, SAMUEL OAKES. —The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in speaking of our late attentive and faithful representative, Hon. SAMUEL OAKES, pays him the following deserving compliment: "In Columbia and Montour counties, the Democracy have re-nominated Hon. SAMUEL OAKES, of Montour county, for Assembly—a worthy man, a popular member, and one always attentive to his duties." PRESIDENT PIERCE.—' The Nashua (N. H.) Gazette says it is the intention of Ex-Presi dent Franklin Pierce to spend the winter with his wife at the Bermudas, where the thermometer scarcely varies more than four degrees during the year, ranging usually irom 71° to 75° Col. John Scott, of Allegheny county, formerly a member of the Legislature, com mitted suicide on Monday by hanging him self in his saw mill. Speech of Hon. Robert Toombs. We publish tbo succeeding extract of a speech delivered at Augusta, Georgia, on the Blh of September last, more especially to show by the extract from Mr. MADISON and the connection, that formerly and now, statesmen have felt the conflicting princi ples which enter into the question of gov ernment for our Territories—the principle that Congress iss supreme, under the Con stitution, over common territory which has been purchased or conquered for all the States, and the general, great principle of local self-government. As the Constitution does not contain any clause of delegated power for the government for the Territories, I and consequently does not determine the proportion in which these two principles shall be observed in drafting a government lor the Territories, it became a subject for the calmest, most patriotic and compromis ing spirit of adjustment: liy the laws of nations a people who are conquered or bought are governed by the , will of the conquerer or purchaser; they have no road to sovereignly except through revolution or compacts. Until our Territo ries acquire sovereignty by one ol these modes, I shall continue to hold that the jurisdiction of Congress over them is exclu sive and paramount; I say exclusive and paramount —1 do not 6ay unlimited. All po wer must necessarily be limited by the terms of the gcapX, and the objects of the grant. The power of Congress over the Territories is an implied power, therefore, limited by the objects of tne grant. In the language of Mr. Madison, "the right being given Irom the necessity of the case, and in suspension of the great principle of self govern ment, ought not to be extended further nor continued longer than the occasion might fairly require." Yet it exists, and is wholly inconsistent with popular sovereignty. From tko day of the adoption of the present Constitution to this hour the Federal Gov ernment have claimed and exercised the right to govern the Territories according to their own will and pleasure, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. It has steadily claimed and exercised the po wers to control their legislation in all cases whatsoever, without question or protest; therefore, neither principle nor authority has this new position of Senator Douglas a single leg to stand upon, yet I do not belong to those who denounce him ; the organiza tion ol the democratic party leaves this as an open question; he is at lull liberty to take either side he may choose, and if he maintains his ancient ground of neither making nor accepting new tests of political soundness, 1 shall still consider him a poli ticai lriend, and will accept him as the representative of the party whenever it may lender him ; and in the mean time, if he should ever wander after strange gods, I do not hesitate to tell you that, with his errors, I prefer him and would support him to morrow against any opposition man in I America. 1 have but a single point remaining to present to you on this occasion. We are told that we must put a new plank in the democratic platform, and demand the affir mance of the duty of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories, whenever such Territories fail to discharge this unques tionable duty. Some of the opposition leaders say it you will do that we will act with you. Now 1 reply, Ido not think it is wise to do the thing proposed ; and, in the second place, I do not think the inducements proposed helps the proposition. While 1 iiave already asserted full and complete po wer in Congress to do this thing, I think with Mr. Madison, that such a power should be most prudently and carefully exercised; that it ought not to be exercised until the occasion for it is imperative. There has been no occasion for its exercise from 1789 to this hour; there is no case to-day calling for it, and 1 am more than willing that the Territories shall continue to govern them selves in their own way, so long as they respect the rights of all the people of the Stales and their own fellow-citizens, i will not insult them by supposing them capable of disregarding the Constitution as expound ed by the Supreme Court; I will not insult them by assuming that they are incapable ol honest self-government, and are capable of abusing power to the injury of their fellow citizens. If they should show themselves incapable ol honestly exercising the powers with which we have intrusted them, per haps the judiciary may be adequate to right the wrong. It may be that the power of the Executive may be adequate to that nose, but if all these safeguards fail, I then be prepared to protect all the rights of all tm people in the Territories as well as elsewhere by all the powers of the Governments. But I shall prescribe no new tests of par ty fealty to Northern democrats ; those who remain of them have hitherto stood with fidelity and honor upon their engagements. They have maintained the truth to their own hurt, tl.ey have displayed a patriotism, a magnanimity rarely equalled, never excelled in the world's history, and I shall endeavor in suushine and storm—with your approbation if 1 can get it, without it if I must —to stand by them with a fidelity equal to their great deserts, ff you will stand with me and tliern we shall conquer faction in the North and in the South ; we shall save the country from the curse of being ruled by the heterogeneous compound now calling lisell the opposition, and shall leave this great country four children as we found it—united, strong, prosperous and happy. X3T A PALE OF MONEY TAKEN AT TERRE HAUTE.— A temporary agent of the Ameri can Express Compay at Terre Haute, with in the past two or three weeks, has taken packages, and parts of packages of various amounts of money passing through that office, in such sums as to make an aggre gate reaching nearly 840,000. This was all staked and lost at gaming tables. The last sum taken was an entire package of 814,- 000 for the Pike County Bank. This was all lost in one night at a gaming saloon.— Growing desperate at heavy loss, the last of a series of considerable length, the ex press agent pulled a pistol from his pocket and demanded the money. It was handed back to him, and his depredations in the express ofiiice discovered the next day. BRIBERY.—'The Opposition candidates for the Legislature in Berks county, publicly offer $2OO each to the voters of that county if they will elect them. Never in the his tory of politics have we seen anything so barefaced. They propose to pay the mon ey in this way: Failing to have the compen sation of members reduced to 8500, they will pay 8207 a piece into the co. Treasury Per haps the people of Berks co. will not choose to be bribed for 8600 in the aggregate which would amount to exactly 3 j cents a voter, there being 16,000 voters in Berks county. Messrs. Hottenstein, Klopp and Holloway must have rather a poor opinion of the val ue of votes in Berks county.—[Lebanon Advertiser. Tiee President Breckinridge The Albany Atlas and Argus, speaking of Mr Breckinridge's disclaimer as a candid ale for the Presidency, says : "We have no doubt that Mr. Breckin ridge is sincere in his disclaimer of a Presi dential candidacy. He is but 39 years of age, and the expiration of a term or even two terms in the Presidential office would place him in retirement in the meridian of his life. It would be better that a career should not thus quickly culminate, if it were so soon to close; and if Mr. Breckinridge wishes to plan out a wise and well-ordered life, he will do well to shun the premature honors of the Presidency. " Still he is not beyond the reach of the Democracy of the nation; who, if they want hirn, will have him, not for his sake but be cause of their own necessities. He declin ed, on the floor of the Cincinnati Conven tion, to be a candidate for the Vice Presid ency ; but the Democratic delegation of New York will not forget how their enthusiastic acclamation, which soon communicated it self to the Convention, was confirmed by it and by the country." A DELIGHTFUL DAT.— The wet spell is over, and yesterday morning a clear blue sky, bright sun and invigorating air, with sufficent dampness to keep the dust off, combined to render us a delightful day.— The streets and buildings have been wash ed clean by the rain, and both man and beast invigorated. It was just the kind of day to make one feel in a good humor with all the world, and in peace with the balance of mankind. May we be blessed with many such days.— Ex. TTPHOID FEVER IN VIRGINIA. —We learn from the Bedford (Va.) Sentinel, that typ hoid fever, of a most malignant type, is pre vailing extensively in that county and other neighboring portions of the state. In Page county, the disease is also prevalent, but not very fatal. In one family o( nine per sons on the Blue Ridge, that of Mrs. Cliser, eight were confined to bed at one time. A CURIOSITY. —A workman at the epoke factory in the Pbrenix Works in Newark on Friday, while cutting a piece of oak, taken from the heart of an oak tree which grew in the wilds ol Carolina County, Md., found imbedded in it a penny of 1749- On one side is the head of the King, and the words "Georgius 11, Rex," and on the reverse "Britannia, 1749." A BROOKLYN lady accompanied a little beggar girl to her home and left five dollars to help to pay the funeral expenses of the child's father, whose coffin stood in. the corner of the room ; but coming back una wares to get her handkerchief, she found that the dead man had revived, and was scrutinizing the bill to make sure that it was a good one. MONTGOMERY COUNTY. —The Democratic Convention of Montgomery county, held on the 13th inst., nominated the following ticket : —Assemby, John Dismant, David Stoneback, Dr. Charles H. Hill; District Attorney, S. N. Rich; Treasurer, Aram Drake; Commissioner, Daniel Carr; Di rector of Poor, Adam Kueedler; Auditor, Jones Detwiler; County Surveyor, Abel Rambo. DEATH OF ONE OF NAPOLEON'S OLD GUARD. —Andreas Pitsy. formerly a member of the 'Old Guard' ot Napoleon I, died at his resi dence in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Sunday, aged seventy-five. He was of intemperate hab its, and had supported himself by playing the flute around the streets. THE editor of the New Orleans Bulletin acknowledges the receipt of a pumpkin raised in Texas, which weighed one hun dred and sixty pounds, and measured seven feet in circumference. PROF.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS, A CERTAIN REMEDY FOR DROPSY.— Charles Hutchinson (33,) of Bur lington, Vermont, was tor fifteen months a sad victim to this complaint, so bad was he one part of the lime, that the water actually oozed through the pores of the skin, and thrice per day change of apparel became necestary. Every time his doctor called he expected to find him dead, and in fact gave his friends no hopes of his recovery ; his sister who had derived great benefit by the use of Holloway's Pills, begged him, as a favor to her, to try them ; fortunately for him he did not refuse, and they soon pro duced a change for the better, in four weeks he was again attending to business having thoroughly got rid of the disorder, and in the most .excellent health and spirits. These Pills work wonders in liver and bili ous complaints. REVIEW OF THE MARKET, CAREFULLY CORRECTED WEEKLY.
