LEWISBURG CHRONICLE BY O. N WORDEN & J. An Independent Family STIjc Chronicle. FRIDAY, JAX. 35, IsiSG. Union County and State Treasury. From the Report of the Auditor Gene ral of Pennsylvania for the year ending 80th Nov. 1855, we select the following summary of the sums paid to and drawn from the Slate Treasury from Union (and Enydcr) county for one year : PAID IN.

The Canal Tolls are not included in the j tables. A Difficulty raised. The Bloomsburg Demccrat directs our ; attention to the heading; "35th Congress, , 1st session," in the Chronu-le. We took ' the figures from some exchange paper, j without examining their correctness. On referring to the histories at hand, that is evidently a wrone number, but that this is the "34th Congress, 1st Session," is not j so clear. Our authorities agree that the lit Congress (perhaps elected in 17S8) , commenced its 1st session in 1789. ''The : 2d session of the 1st Congress commenced Jan. 8, 1790." Each Congress exists two years.without regard to extra sessions. We ' follow out from this starting point, to see where it will lead us : Cong. Y-jr. 1- 1789,1790 2- l9i,l7tf2 3- i;93,1704 4- 1795,1798 5- 1797,1799 6- 1799,1800 7- 1801.1802 8- 1803,1804 9- 1805,1806 10- 1807,1808 11- 1809,1810 Cn.

Will j some one explain the apparent error,what- j ever it may be ? Perhaps 'thereby hangs' : the confusion of tongues about a Speaker! Singular. Lieut. Gov. Willard has j been Dominated by the Democrats of Ind-1 iana, as their candidate for Governor, j Before that result was arrived at, it seems by the Chicago Citizen, the fact becamo known that 'W illard was far from being a ; teetotaler, and some of the Democracy 1 required from him bis pledge that he j would get sober and keep so. He did as required, concluding his speech on the subject as follows : j " I have gone thus far in pledging to my total abstinence from the use of i intoxicating liquors during my term of service if elected Governor of the State j of Indiana, that to you I might avoid the appearance of evil, and that the , tongue of slander and malevolence may ' be hushed and palsied." j Heaven grant he may keep his pledge ; though taken under 6uch circumstances it is of doubtful virtue, and we would much prefer one who never touched the seduc ing oup. Reaping Machine Case. At ifa Supreme Court, Washington, 16th inst, Justice M'Lean delivered the opinion of the Court in the caso of M'Cormick vs. Manny. The Court held, 1st, that Man ny's Reaping Machine does not infringe upon any of M'Cormick's patents; 2d, that the divider and reels used in Manny's machines are not the same in form or principle as the improvements patented by M'Cormick in 1845 ; Sd, that the fork era and stand position on Manny's machine re useful improvement, invented and patented by Manny, and not covered by M'Cormick's patent. Injunction refused, tad complainant for costs. Ex-Gov. Johnston and Jacob L.

"t)o good unto all men as yon have opportunity," is (he Divine injunction for all times and places. "The greatest good of the greatest number" is true philosophy. Equal Higiits is genuine Democracy. But there are at this day men, (calling themselves Americans, Christians, Whigs, or Democrats,) who deny or ignore all the above maxims. They deny that there is l any such thing as "equal rights," but say j the strong, the rich, the intelligent have and will and should rule over the weak, the poor, the ignorant. They say govern- ment is made for the tmallra number,and that the "servile masses" should work for them on such terms as they may dictate. ; They say men have no right to try to "do i good" outside of their own family,or town, or county, or state, or nation. AH efforts I to relieve men from wrong and evil, they ! denounce as "impertinent interference" with "none of their business." They say, i "Let everybody do just as they please" and then insult high Heaven in the words of the blood-stained Cain, "Am I my bro ther's keeper J"' This spirit would abolish all Law, and - "nVind to the most barbarous i state of society, where orutc fn. reign triumphant, and injustice, robbery, j oppression, ravishing, and murder, would ! rage unchecked save by counter horrors of the same mere animal power. ! But, thank God ! this lie of the Devi j is not universally believed. The history ; of our race is a history of the yet-waging contest between two Powers. The one is KlGHT, trying to "do good unto all men" and to preach " the glad tidinga of great joy which shall be to all people." The other is Wbono, with its "none-of-your-business" and "do-as-they-please" policy, ery'igi Art thou come to torment us bef'Te our time J"' The American Revolution was fought and won upon the principle that "all men are endowed by their Creator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Our Constitution was designed to carry out that principle, and for many years Congress was faithful to its trust by abolishing Slavery in the Territories where it existed, and circum scribing it in other ways. No man was more engaged in carrying out the War for Equal Rights, and plan ning our National Constitution, than was Uksjamin Franklin. When he was 84 years old, fresh from bis last great, labor in forming the Federal Constitution, he wrote the following letter to his friend and revolutionary cotupatriot,JonN Langdon, then Governor of New Hampshire and the leading Democrat of New England : Philadelphia, Aug. 4, 1768. "Si : The Philadelphia Society for promot ing the Abolition of Slavery and the relief tf Free Negroes unlawfully held in Bondage, have taken the liberty to request your Excel lency's acceptance of a few copies of their Constitution auJ the laws of Pennsylvania which relate to one of the objects of their institution ; also of a copy of Thomas Clark son's excellent essay upon the Commerce and Slavery of the Africans. "The Society have heard with great regret that a considerable part of the slaves who have been sold in the Southern Mates since the establishment of peace, have been imported in vessels fitted out in the State over which your Excellency presides. From your Excel lency's station, they hope your inflnenre will be exerted hereafter to prevent a practice which is so evidently repugnant to the politi cal principles and forms of government lately adopted by th iiiztns of the t'nited States, and which can not fail of delaying the enjoy ment of the blessings of liberty by drawing down the displeasure of the great and impar tial Kuler of the Universe npon our country. '1 am, in behalf of the Society, "Sir, y'r mo. ob'd't servant, B. FRANKLIN. His Excellency J. Lgdox, Esq.- This was the same Society, chartered by our Legislature, in the performance of the duties of which Passmore Williamson was imprisoned, which would not have been done to Franklin doing the same thing. Surely Franklin was no 'agitator,' 'fanatic,' or 'intermeddler with other people's busi ness.' Pennsylvania had no direct concern in the distant State of New Hampshire's buying negroes in Guinea and selling in Carolina the Foreign slave trade waa just as legal as lh Domestic slave trade now is and State Right were then as well understood as to-day. Yet Franklin, as President of an Abolition Society, did not hesitate to urge Gov. Langdon to Lave a legal trade made illegal in New Hamp shire. He and other good and great men "agitated" against "legal" Slavery, in their own State, in other States, and in Congress, until one after another 0 States abolished it, Congress abolished it in all the now 5 States North West of the Ohio, and declared the Foreign slave-trade to be piracy and punishable by death. Such were the principles and practice of the Fathers of the Republic,wann from the contest that "tried men's souls." How different they thought and acted from the politicians and preachers of our day, who not only "do not lift a finger" to stay the ! spread of oppression, but who would atop ' . r r . - - oincrt irom using tongue or pvu jiin, ur forum to "do good" by aiding to " let the oppressed go free !" Franklin tho' often called an Infidel urged that not to stop the slave trade would expose our country (not slave-holders alone) to "the displeasure of the great and impartial Ruler of the universe." Have we cot public men now who might learn wisdom and patriotism from honest, frank, i practical, sensible old Ben ? LEWISBURG, UNION CO., PA., FRIDAY, ORIGINAL ESSAYS. Communicated for ths Lewtsbnrf Chronicle An Allegory, not all an Allegory. Ncbuchadnexxar, king of Babylon, when he had besieged Jerusalem and taken cap tive J ehoiakim, king of J udah, gave orders that certain of the children of Israel should be brought and fed daily with his meat and made to drink of his wine fur three years, that at the end of that time they might stand in his presence. A certain prince, at the present day, has emissaries in almost every town and city in our land, establishing in-titutions to train young men for his especial service. In our large cities these establishments are numerous, and as soon as a town derives importance from any public movement, or otherwise, these agents glide noiselessly in, hire a tenement of some friend of their master, fit it up in a manner appropriate to each department of a regular course, and commence operations. This prince has such complete influence over the minds of his subordinates, that they appear to be unconscious that tbey are laboring to fill his ranks, and press on as eagerly as if subserving their own interests. No sala- i a ---L.a an,,lnj-e.l. but the agent who establishes any particular branch of this great network of institutions for the enlargement of his majesty's dominions, acts as a sort of superintendent, and is re munerated for his services by perquisites from the students, who, as they enter from time to time,are instructed by those farther advanced in their course. Everything moves by a self-regolating system, or rather, all are so deeply imbued with the spirit of their employer, that through their instru mentality, he is constantly receiving ac cessions to his adherents, some by a shor ter, others by a longer course of training, according to the knowledge tbey previously had of their rightful Sovereign, and his claims upon them. The land owner treats the establishment as a foster child, for he can get more money by renting his prop erty to the agents of his majesty, than for the ordinary purposes of life, and tbe result generally is, that bis own sons, at an early age enter the list of learners. The exercises and pursuits in which the pupils are engaged daily, and usually far into the night, so entirely absorb their thoughts, that tbey may be recognized in the street by a peculiarly dreamy, abstrac ted mien. That young man who has turned the corner, and is about descending those steps, has recently entered the pre paratory course ; let us follow him. In the first department we find a group of youths from the different ranks of life, engaged in various pursuits as their incli nations prompt. Here, two are seated with a board between them, that is divided into squares, npon which they are laying alternately black and white circular blocks. They become very much interested in the exercise, and sometimes have a sharp con test in regard to moving or removing these blocks. At yonder table a circle is gath ered, endeavoring to accomplish somo ob ject or solve some problem, which I do not pretend to fathom. A good deal of emu lation exists among tbe actors, but the master of ceremonies feels no anxiety about the result, and Is iutcut only upon administering stimulants and refreshments, with an eye evidently upon the perquisites. No stipulation is entered into when they commence their course, for he is sure that tbe first step being taken, their progress will be rapid and easy, and their devotion to his master's interests secured, unless a stronger than he should come armed and wrest them from him. Some of these youths have parents who are faithful servants of their legitimate King, and have endeavered to teach their children in regard to bis will, and the vast possessions which await them if they obey bis commands. It is troe, He has power to counteract the wiles of his arch-enemy, but he allows him to roam through the land, and thus gives His creatures oppor tunity to choose whom tbey will serve. Some, who have taken npon themselves vows of allegiance to Him, seem to think they can serve two masters, but often when under tho excitement of the Stimulants and savory dishes that are from time to time set before them, they are strongly tempted to give np their birthright While I have been making these obser vations, others have entered who are ap parently no longer novices In the estab lishment, but members of advanced classes. What to tbe uninitiated seems only a screen or banging; to exclude tbe air it may be, yields to their practiced touch, and they enter another apartment, whither we will follow. The prince, whose genius pervades the whole place, was formerly a subject of tbe great King to whom we all owe allegiance, but rebelled from bis authority and was east ont from his presence, and although he i allowed to wander np and down through his vast domains and entrap tbe unwary, and though be nay even offer, as he did some eighteen eenturies ago, to One whom he tempted to worship him, "til the kingdoms of tbe world and the glory of then," yet he will ultimately inherit a gloomy dungeoq and everlasting chains. It is broad day without, bat all light b excluded from the room which we have just entered ; a sickly lamp is burning upon tbe table; spectral shadows are thrown upon the walls, fumes of tobacco and something allied to sulphur fill the at mosphere, rendering the whole a fit emblem of that abode whieh is lighted only by the lurid gleaming of those flames which can never be quenched. In this apartment, as Well as in the one already described, tbe pupils are pursuing different avocations. Some are arranged around a table intently examining what I suppose lo be biero gly phical characters on pieces of pasteboard, others stand around another table, with wands in their hands, directing little balls or blocks, and others still appear to be shaking small boxes, from which tbey throw upon the table little ivory blocks, covered with black spots that they eagerly count Each is intensely interested in his pursuit, and to keep up the interest, piles of coius lie upon the table, which tbe most successful claims as bis own. Some resort to artifice to accomplish their ends, and in such eases disputes wax hot, and their crafty prompter chuckles at his success, and in his triumph ever and anon a large hoof protrudes from beneath the tabid The more eager they become in these ex erctsM, thA more boldly they defy the authority of their rightful Mimnk, and even wish themselves accursed from his presence. Not only their wealth, reputa tion, and hopes are at stake, but those ev erlasting mansions which they anight in herit had they not become traitors to Lis cause. Tbe more absorbed they become, the more freely tbey partake of tbe stimulants and condiments provided for them by their obsequious attendant, until, oppressed by a sense of giddiness, almost unconscious of the past and totally regardless of the future, tbey seek their homes, and, if it may be, a little rest But tbey throw themselves on their beds only to toss from side to side, and re-act in imagination the scenes in which they have been engaged, until the broad beams of the sun call them forth, nnrefreshed, to tread again the samo paths. Not nnfrequently this constant excitement produces such an effect npon advanced pupils, that they have a kind of vision of the eompanionship which they will enjoy when tbey become entirely assim ilated to their adopted master and fit for his presence. But onr great Ruler, although He gives this prince power for a little season, will finally go forth conquering and to conquer, and when He shall have overcome his last enemy, He will welcome his loyal subjects into that city whoso streets are paved with gold, where is no night, nor sorrow, nor sickness ; but on the other hand, Ha will assign all unsubdued rebels a portion in the realms prepared for this arch-enemy and his emissaries. Will those who have pledged themsolvcs to tbe King of kings, sit down in supine ness, while Ilia avowed enemy is making such inroads in our fair land ? Shall the feet of the young be ensnared and they be plunged into the blackness of darkness without one effort to avert their doom 1 Observer. All efforts to effect a nnion between the Hards and Softs in New York having failed, the latter have held another meet ing of tbeir State Convention, adopted pro-Slavery resolutions, and elected a full State delegation to tho National Conven tion. As the Hards have already done likewise, the State will have two rival de legations, contesting the honor of repre senting it John Van Buren has been thrown overboard, and his name is not among the Soft delegates. Before the late State election, this same convention adop ted anti-Nebraska and anti-Slavery resolu tions for effect in the anti-Slavery district of tbe State, and now tbat the election is over, pro-Slavery resolution! are adopted with a view to securing the admission of the delegates to the National Convention. Such is the honesty of partiian politics. PCBLisniNO the Laws. The subject of publishing the general laws of the State in tbe newspapers, is now being discussed by the press. We believe several States New York and Ohio among others have adopted this plan, whieh gives great satisfaction. The system now ill opera tion if of little use to the mas of the peo ple, who are interested in the laws. A few copies of these are tent to each coun ty, bat they are a sealed book to the mil lion; Bven these few copies are often de layed a long time in their transportation to the different counties. The Warren Jtail say the laws of the last session have not yet reached that county ! We hope some progressive member will broach this matter in the present Legilature,and have the spirit to urge the matter to ft favora ble conclusion. A Bab Fix.

We extract the following trnthful eulogium from an Essay on the Life of the late Chief Justice Gibsos, ("GilDerlson" in Scotch) from the pen of W. A. PoaTsa, Esq, son of Ex- Gov. Porter : The parents of Mr. Gibson resided, at the date of his birth, on the 8th of No vember, 1?80, in Sheatman's Yallcy,then Cumberland, now Perry county, Pennsyl vania. Ilis ancestry on the side of bis j father, originally Scotch, and then Irish, , ti - - i - .1 ci . . i pass generally uuuer me name oi o w Iriih a people whose story is entitled to an important place on the page of history. It is known that thdy were a body of men driven from their own country to the north of Ireland by the persecution of the Stew arts, there to remain for a few generations, and then year by year to find with us a more congenial home. Fortnnately,enough remained behind to assist in relieving one of their royal oppressors of his head, and another of his crown ; and enough were driven off to form a valuable element in American colonization. In Pennsylvania, these settlements were more widely diffus ed than in any other portions of the Union, and tbey have always constituted an im portant patt of its population. Quiet, peaceable, laborious, lovers of ordcr,lovers of justice republicans by nature and by adnplion,drawing a pure religious faith from the "well of living waters," and bowing the knee to no power but that of the King of kings, it may well be doubted whether, amid the varied phenomena attending the settlement of the colonics, we received any people more exactly suited to the wants of tbe country, or the genius of her institu tions. To the present day, they retain their distinctive peculiarities. Let any traveler in the interior of Pennsylvania turn asids to one of their unambitious dwellings, and be will find as mdob kindly hospitality, as much purity of life, as much cheerfulness and content, as much accur ate information on all questions of public and private interest, as be ean find among the people of any rural district in the bounds of civilisation. As tbe Oerman bas generally been able by bis superior foresight and wealth, to pitch on the lime stone valley, and as tbe Scotch-Irishman has sometimes been obliged to betake him self to the slate or shale land, such an in quirer may find the latter poor in the goods of this world, oppressed with the cares of a family, and broken by unremitting toil, but nowhere else will he find a being more devoted to bis country, more just to man, or more loyal to God. Mr. Bolts, of Virginia has written a candid and forcible letter; advising tbe Southern Know Nothings to consent td tbe excision of the Twelfth Section of the Philadelphia platform ; and he declares himself, incidentally, against all platforms as the basis of party action. He believes tbat all abstract notions on slavery are out of place in these declarations of political principle, and predict that if the South insists on the Twelfth Article; the Ameri can Order will become a merely sectional party, and be defeated in every Northern Sure. , St Bernard's Catbolls Cboroh, of Co hoes, S.

At $1.50 Per Farming on 21 Acres of Land. BY WILLIAM GABItUTT. Messrs. Editors : Many of the cul tivators of the soil, who occupy large pos sessions, do not realize the amount of la- bor that can be profitably employed in cultivation ; and few farm laborers are aware how small a pieee of ground will afford full employment to an industrious man. and yield himself and family the comforts of life, and make them an inde pendent borne. In illustration of these facts, I will give an account of farmer B. His farm con sists of twenty-one acres : one acre of it is occupied with buildings, yards and g ir den, and twenty acres are for cultivation all made productive by thorough draining j tivatcs, or plows shallow the barley ttub and bountiful manuring. A good substan- j Lie so as to pulverize it thoroughly fouf tial fence all round it, but Do division inches deep, and sows on it half a ton of fences. He has 57 rods of patent fence, j plaster.

He keeps a yoke of oxen, two cows, twenty good ewes and a breeding sow, far which 5 acres of fresh clover on a rich soil will aHord plenty ot pasture, provided that he does not turn into it too soon in the spring. The wheat and bariey straw, corn stalks, and roots, will be ample for- age for them in winter. He is industrious, economical and prudent Every thing is well done, and in season. The ground is kept clean, no weeds being allowed to grow, not even around the fence ; it is made rich by plentiful applications of ma- nure, which renders it very'productive. His wheat averages SO bushels per acre. It will take 24 bushels to bread the fain- ily the year, (which consists of himself, ; no horse-doctor, but always doctor my wife, and four little ones,) and it will take ! own, and have as few lame as my neigh 7 bushels for seed, which trill leave 119 ! bora, who employ a doctor.
