TO THE': PEOPLE'or 'PENNS!AS: "
Itivill not be forgotten that thaS tato Agri

Harrisburg ea' the place, and the 23d, 24th
and 26th.of October next,,as the time for their
AnNuAn'Extrintrzon. 'There 'is no ..State in
the Unionwhose climate, soil and the habits'
of whose people afford more -ample resources
than our own fora creditable exhibition of
their skill and industry. There is nothing
raised, - grown - or manufactured npon - ithe face
of the earth, which is not more 'or less' inter
esting in the study and saionce,of Agriculture.
The Farmer, the Horticulturalist, the Inven
tor, the Mechanic, are all cordially and ear
nestly invited to contribnto and partake in the
interest which will be excited by the occasion;
end especially do we invite the aid, counte
nance and presence of our mothers and dough
ters,_upon_whose.handpvtorkand_good_exam=
ple we are so dependent for all the domestic
comforts of life. .
Arrangements are now being made for en
. closing thi3 grounds, and providing separate
and safe places for all animals and articles
which shall be, presented for exhibition. All
the Canals and rail-ways of the •State will be
open free of charge for their transportation, to
Harrisburg; and visitors will - come mid go on
them at, one half the usual rates.
The young mon of the State are reminded
that the' Preumuno MATCH will afford them
.an opportunity for the display of their skill,
.the training of their teams and the fitness of
their implements. •
While we address this communication to the
people of-our State, it will not lie understobd
that it is designed to exclude the citizens of 0-

-Resolvid,. That we regard the existence of
slavery in the Southern States asu local insti

that, so far as it is recognized in the Natienal

utterly hostile to its further extension, or any
interference with'it by her State offteers.

out any doubt the real representatives of the

and Schuylkill Journal, thus describes the elo
sing_scenes _of_the_Convention,_and_Col._Big—
lees miserable failure at speech-making:
COL. BIGLER'S lIECEPTICkAND SPEECH
While the ballctings for Canal Commission
er were proceeding, Col. Bigler just arrived
in the morning train of cars from Philadel
phia, was announced. He was received with
half a dozen cheers, escorted to the platform,
introduced to the audience, and forthwith en
tered upon a speech partly, of thanks for the
distinguisliCti honor conferred, and partly. by
way of defining his course in case of his elec
tion. The address was a miserable affair
throughout, and if it is to be regarded as a
fair sample of his oratorical pOwers, he las
been monstrously overrated by his political
friends. Ills remarks were labored, many, of
them ill-timed; and altogether the - effort Wei
one by no means calculated to produce a favo
rable impression. He reverted to the loading
of Columbus and. the Pilgrim Fathers, the
growth of the country and its future prpspects.
He seemed to thinkthe Union was still in dan
ger; tradthat upon. his success at thsr next elec
tion depended its permanent-stability! He
gave his unqualified approval - to the- compro
mise measures of the last Congress, and ex
pressedlis determination to maintain, so far
as his influence wet aiincarned, each and eve
ry one- of them—the fugitive - slaie bill includ = -
ed—against all attempts at repeal. 'After
speaking for half, an hour or more in the same
_strain,. he_eongluded, :and: the Convention set
tied down and proceeded with its business.
fctoßlNq
On Wednesday afternoon the conunittce on
resolutions'made their report, and the resole-.
tiens cot:temp ti.m adoption, Mr." Lowry,. of
Crawford, took occasion to 'protest •in strong
terms in relation to the course assumed on the
slavery question. He VMS choked off, instan
--ter, by' a motion to adopt the resolutions, fol.
lowed by a motion to adjourn sine die, and left
in evident ill-humor with the platform _ axt
nounced by his democratic pro-elavery. col
loakues. .
' In the evening a mass meeting was called in.
the Court House, at which Cols. Bigler and
—Blaelvveremnnounced-iospertim — Thenflbrtef
the former itithe morning, however, was too
much for him, and an 'apology was made in his
name. He afterwards attempted to spehk but
broke down before ho had fairly commenced.,
-In-the-course-of-the-esening-COL-Black—ad
dressed the meeting and made a decidedly
More favorable impression as a stump speaker
than his successful competitor for the Guber
natorial nomination. . ' •, ' •, • .
,- The meeting soon after adjourned to the
square; whore a number of small rota b ora
tors amused' the audience for several hours by
eulogising fold' Berke,' and .Democracy' in
general—deolaring the Union to be la danger
and that they alone could save it—that the
perpetuation of our liberties and permanency
of our free institutions, depended upon the
success of Bigler and Clover at the nest elec
tion, &a., &c. While this was going on at ono
end of the Market House,, Goprge Munday
was entertaining a select company of admirers
at the other end, and between the two the im
pression was general that George's insane ra
- Tinge wore the. more sensible and pointed:---
though so far as doctrines were concerned both
'were alike Locofoco. . „,
Thus ended the proceedings of the tocofoco
Convention—a Convention of a clique rather
than a party—for the anti-Buchanan wing had
no-part or lot in the matter but to submit—to
kiss the rod by which they were smitten. Its
nominee, Mr. Bigler, we are told is an honest
man,
and clever and popular he is no doubt,
with that fraction of the 'party into whose
hands hands ho has fallen. He will be found
an easy tool to subserve the interests of the
'faction that' have him in charge. But 'clever'
as Ms friends take Mm to be, he. is no match
for Gov. Johnston—and is bound - to be beaten
in the next contest. .

-leaders of the loco party, from everysection of
that groat conglomerate, were seen wending
their way up Fourth street, and saddenly
verge from a -straight line,, and become lost be
tween the pillars of a balcony 'which fronts on
the street. This attracted attention, and in.:
duced an inquisitive young gentleman of the
BUM political family to watch their movements
more narrowly,•for the purpose of ascertaining
what could have caused this great exodus of
Celts and Saxons, _Scandinavians end- Gotha,.
`Vandals and Tartiirs,—for, they appeared' to,
belong to every nation under the aum—but the
Colts were the, most
_numerous. On arriving
opposite ono of our most celebrated Hotels,
(Merchant's,) he halted far a few moment's, to
exereiaohis eyes and cars. :Suddenly he 'IVaS
tapped upon the shoulder :Vs friend, and ask
ed whether he 'would not.walk 'over the street,
and see the Hon. James Thichanan .and Col.'
Bigler—the once candidateldi the next 'Pres
idency, and thoother for Governor of thistitate
—as they wore.stopping at the Hotel before
them. Takinghis friend's - arm, he stepped a
cross, and was soon ushered into the preiienoo
of the before mentioned gentlemen, who 'were
surrounded with the, bone 'and stw, and a
goodly share of the effervescence o the party
to which' he belonged. After being introduced,
' in a formal manner, and received with a' bland
_smile from-each.of-the candidates,-he was - in

,no hesitation in doing, as' it appeared to he n
sort of open house, or a militia gathering.—
Colonels were as plenty as blackberries in sea

man beside was a major. Our friend looked
with surprise, first at ono person, present, and,
then at another. He then commenced open

flashed' upon his mind, that ho had been drug
gad, end ho was preparing himself for ari exit
from the room, or the world, .ho did not_know
.which, when a loud altercation in another part
of the room fell upon his ear. This aroused
hint from his mental agony. The sonorcus
notes of the "old war-horse of Democracy,"
(Col. Frazer,) refounded through the room,
while the scarcely less sonorous voice of our
gallant friend of the Pennsylvanian, (Col. For
ney,) has heard denouncing, in terms of 'gall
ing and bitter invective ; the ingratitude of the'
"old warlhorse" to James Buchanan.. AS a
so of chorus to these bugle blasts, the lisping
accents and husky voice of, our
,friedds Van

or some other cause, were added to the tumult.
"Base ingrate," " selfish marauder," ." poi
sonous adder," "leprous disorganizer," "Na

mild character, wore interchanged by the dis
putants:. 'One of these expressions touched our
friend Vandyke* a tender' place, - and the lie
was given, with certain concomitants that we
do not wish to use. This ruffled the' "old war

WEE IVIEWHODIST CHURCH CASE:
"A trial of great importance has just termi
nated in the United_ States District Court, et
Now York, between the Methodist Church
North,, and the Methodist Church South.--:
When the two bodies separated, a few years
ago, a large fund was in the possession of the
society, invested in their book, establishments
in Now York and Ohio, which were and are in
the posseision of the Church North. The suit
is brought by the Chureh to recover a
share or it. The defence is eat the southern
Methodists seceded from' the Church, and
hencd are not entitled to any part of the fund.
The ablest counsel in the country were em.
,ployed, such as Mr. Choate, ?dr. Wehster,llr.
Revordy Johnson, Sze. The argUments wore
concluded 'several days ago; but the decision
is withheld, it is said, in hopes theta compro
mise may take place. It is also said, that the
counsel on both sides, - ond also .the Conft; . nre
"Compromise" men,. and would advise the
Church North to yield. 'A
decision against
the South s would very probably' exasperate the
ultra pro-slavery men.
Tits NEW FIRE EXTI I NGUISItiEE.—Wo gave a
year or two ago , in extracts from English pa
pers, accounts of tho invention of a fires anni
hilator. Ono is now on exhibition at the world's
fair. Tills invention is to Po produotivo of
great public benefits; by itlires can in a few
moments be extinguished, and it is simple, ott
elf§ applied, and by no means expensive. Tile
aparatus is said to be "nearly as portablo as
afire bucket; - the article used (anti-c;ombua:
tire gas)'perfectly innoxions life or comfort;
without injury to property, and, at tho same
time, inetantaneogsly ciestruptive to flame.”--,
Our countrymen, doubtless, will ere long avail
thomtielvee of the advantages of this, discovery.

which produced-301bs,of-pure-gold---.The vein
is represented to be six or seven inches wido
—the depth bus not been ascertained, At

"No other exhibition was ever compaiable
to this in extent, variety or magnificence:j'or
example: A single 'London' house has one mil
lion dollars' worth of the most superb plate '
and jewelry in the Exhibition, in a by no
means unfavorable position; yet f had spent
the better portion of five days there, roaming
and gazing at will, before I saw this lot:
There aro three Diamonds exhibited which are •
worth, according to the standard method of
computing the value of Diamonds, at least
Ahitytnilliens . of dollars and
be soldfn a weeti - for twenty millions; I have
seen but one of them as yet, and that stands
so conspicuously in the centre of the Exhibi
tion that feu; who enter can help seeing it.—
And there aro several Miles of eases and lots
-of-cestly-wares-and-fabrics-eiposed-herera
good share of which are quite ns attractive as
the great Diamonds, and intrinsically far more
valuable. Is there cause for wonder, then,
that the Exhibition is daily thronged by tens
of thonsands, oven at the present high prices?

closes a secret which it avers will relieve hu-
Manity frail a load of misery not the less dif
ficult to boar than it is unpitied or ridiculed.-
It says:
Mg cause of corns, and likewise of-the
torture they occasion, is simple friction; and
to lesson friction you, liars only to use your

wheel—lubricate it with seine oily substance.
The best and the cleanest thing to use is a lit
tle sweet oil, rubbed upon the affected part
(after the corn is carefully pared) with finger,
which should be done on getting up in the
morning, and just before stepping into bed at
night. In - a few days tho pain will diminish,
and in atow days snore it will cease, 'when
the nightly application may be .discontinued."
