Aa Extract for Agricultural Friends.
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

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.

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

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

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,

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

vailing extensively in that county and other
neighboring portions of the state. In Page

not very fatal. In one family o( nine per

A CURIOSITY. —A workman at the epoke

side is the head of the King, and the words
"Georgius 11, Rex," and on the reverse
"Britannia, 1749."

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

er,' "The Refugees,' 'Blanche Berirand,'
'The Artist's Bride,' &c., &c., entitled
WILD SCENES ONTUE FRONTIERS ;
OK,
HEROES OF THE WEST.
"Westward, Ihe course of Empire takes Us Way!"
This work, is the only one in Book form,
which for several years has emanated from
the pen of thegitied author, who treads now
alone the path once trodden bj our own
Cooper. It will contain graphic pictures of
the conflicts of the hardy Pioneer whose
strifes and struggles with his Indian'foe. ri
val the tales of fiction and the tragic coun
terfeits of the mimic stage. Also thrilling
narratives of the daring deeds, (he heart
trials, the heroic devotion and self-denial of
noble women, the mothers of the West !
Beneath the over-arching forests, hand to
hand, and foot to foot, the intrepid adven
turer haa encountered in deadly combat the
ruffian desperadoes who made their haunts
in the backwoods, and his gallant achieve
ments have thrown a halo of romance over
the waving prairies, the grand old moun
tains, and the majestic rivers of the land of
the setting sun !
Nor are these pages wanting in those gen
tler scenes which make up home-life, and
which are pictured with all the skill and
fidelity lor which Ihe author is pre-emi
nently distinguished. His delineation of
Frontier character, end of the scenery ofthe
Borders, has always the advantage of an
accurtcy which is the result of an intimate,
personal acquaintance.
The work will be printed on fine white
paper, in clear, open type, and appropriately
and beaulitullv illustrated by the most skill
ful artists 12mo , Cloth. Price, 51.25.
