TO THE PEOPLE or PIINNS'A ; -
It will not be forgotten that the State Agri
cultural ,Society of Pennsylvania has fixed
Harrisburg Its the place, •and the 23d, ' 24th
and 25th of October next, as the time for their
Mirada, Extttntxtox. There is no State in
the Union whose clithate, soil and the habits
of whose people afford more ample resources
• than our own for a creditable exhibition of
--=-- th - eir - skill and industrr — There - is -- nothing
raised, grown or manufactured-hpon the face
of the eartl4 which .is hot more or less inter
esting in the study and science of Agriculture.
The Farmer, the Hortieulturalist, the Riven
- tor the Meehanio,, are all cordially and ear
nestly invited to contribute and partake in the
interest which will be excited by the occasion;
and 'especially'do we invite the aid, counte
nance and presence of our mothers and daugh-
tors, upon whose handy-work and good exam
ple we are so dependent for all the domestic
coreforts of life.
Arrangements' re now being made for en
closing the - grounds, and providing separate•
and safe places for all animals and articles
Which shall he presented for exhibition. All
the canals and rail-ways of the State„will bo

The youug.mon of thii State' aro reminded
that - the PLouontna Maxon will 'afford them

'ED PAYING Or THE MAIN DEBT, which, as
ppears by his last annual message, was de' ,
reared since the 80th November, 1848, over

• his ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUc .
,lAITD DOLLARS has been paid for the coral
Action of the North Braneh Canal, a worW
,:ommenced under previous Locofoco
.rations and abandoned for the Want of funds.
This work will soon'be :conipleted, and then
`we' will have an important source of revenue
for the payment of the Locofoco State Debt.
Tho,urawning—feature of Gov. Johnston's
administration has been the creation 'of V,
SINKING FUND for the redemption of the
main debt. ,, Tho act creating. this fund was
recommended bi Gov._Johnston, and has thus
far• been emidently successful. During the
years 1840 arid 1850, there was received into
the 'treasury on account of this fund, the
handsome sum $424,832 75, as appears by the
last report of the Auditor General, pages 126-
27. This sum was expended in the purchase
of loans of the funded debt amounting in the
aggregate . to $458,122 98.
It:would be hell for the people_ of Pennsyl
vania to rbmomber these truths. Gov. Johnston
has_ already paid off ti large, amount of the
funded - debt,. and if continued in office, ho will
bp able during the remainder of his „term to
continue doing so at the rate of nearly or quite
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS PER ANNUM,

The Committee appointed by the Legislatdo
made an investigation and reported certain
facts., From their report we glean the follow
. jug. , ''The check rolls ftMex tind June, 1848,
qtre filed in the , Ailditor donein.Pa - effice, as hav-_
ing been settled: In them it appears that Dan
iel Hawk, carpenter; is credited with nine days
Work ,in 111ii-L'03;56--Litild twenty-61i daya in
June—s39,6o—both being reoeipted for, and
signed by Hawk. Halik was brought before
the committee ; and swears that he worked on-
Jy sixteen days in Max and Junetand received'
hut 7tViiity:fourdolfare flint the iTgnatures to '
the two deo* rolls are his, and that he did , hot
examine them closely when he .signed them.
Joseph Alter is charged en the „check. rolls
for May . end; anule,,lB4B, as, having received
nine !fellers for ,nine_days' work, in May, and
twenty-,seven dollars Ancl,Ofte9n cents for twen-.
ty , two days' work in, June,, He Was bought
before the committee,, and testified that be re
ceived nine' dollars for his workin , May—that
he had received but seven dollars for his work
in June—that he never
,sfgned a cheek.roll
June, and: 'that the officer appointed Odisburse
the money, - had refused to pay him t e
. balance
due.
This last filet of refusal to pay, explains in
part how these large Canal and Railroad float
ing debts were created under Locofopo Admin
istrations, when no ono watched the Treasury
with half the vigilance it required. The
_dis
bursing officers received , the . money—refused
to pay the hands' and left the. State: :Some
time afterwards the accounts, whioh the Com
monwealth:thought were paid; were. presented
—the roguery of her publieefficers becamear
parent—and the obligations were diScharged.-
The accounts were finally closed after double'
payment by the State—once to the defaulting
officer, and once to the.honest claimant.
Win. 11. Stanley is charged on- the same
check rolls with having received $12,00 for
eight , slays' work in May,. and $89,00 for twen
ty-six days in June. Ho, testified before the
committee, that he did but-one day's work in
May, And but two days in JUllO—Making in all
84,25—which amount ho received. Of. Course
the -$40,75. required' to mike -up-the $6l
charged, was stolen by the labelling officer.
Several:hundred other instances of the same
nature are•given. We need not repeat them.-
What we ..wieb the people to remember. is, -that
by gross carelessness, by Want of accountabili
ty in the agents of the State, the Treasury wee,
in this instance, defrauded of about $lO,OOO
and of-muchlargerameunta-in-other-cases.—
Mr. Bigler Jahnself, in his Reading speech, ad
-initted that the eiPonses of the - State had been
swelled far beyond the necessary cost of-the
public improvements. The difference between
what these works ought to have cost, and what.
they did ciiht, the'atiount which cor
rupt locofopo office-holders have put into their
owri_peckets. What it does cost annually to
keep these improvements in repair, i{much
greater than it ought, and thS excess is the a:-
mount now pilfered yearly by the •State's
,offi
cers on, these works. ' • . , •
The system of accountability is wreteliedin
the exteeme. Locofoep Canal Commissioners
are interested against any change. As things
now are, posts. on :the Canals ,and -Railroads
are made sources of great profit, and those
who fill them fight faithfully:for their masters
at each 'recurring, olectien.. The party can't
dispense with their services. This they would
be required to do if they took away the
stealings." The consequence of all whioh is,.
ihartlfe - Statels - o.nnually - rebbed - ctlarge:Ta-;

The.Locofoce papers never grow weary o:
denouncing Got. 'Johnston for what they call
his "opposition to the Fugitive Slays Law."
In Potter county, however,. where there are
many anti-slavery_men to be conciliated,.
ferent tune is played. The Coudersport Vint
on, the Locofoco paper 'of Potter county, of
the 27th of Juno says: "Gov. Johnston is
leagued with - Millard Fillmore, Daniel Webster
'and John J. Crittenden, and all the orealcham
pions 'of the Fugitive Slave Laio,". •
Down.here where it is politic, the Locofocos
chargo Gov. Johnston with to this
law. Up in the northern section of the State,
Gov. Johnston is abused as being

The'Locefoce Press are in full Cry after John
Strohm for idiiotes on the li..foxican war ques-,,
tion. ' A felt' words will'explain all 'this. On
the 13th"of' May,-184G; Mr. Polk sent his War
message to Congress. On the mime day a bill
was *piffled in the House of Representatives
relativi3 to this eubject, 'with a preamble decla
ring theta state of war existed between Meal
-co and tho United States by-the act of Mexico.—
That
.
preamble asserted What a large number
of our people belioycd to bo false. The Loco
. foco majority would not permit a vote to beta
ken separately on the preamble, and rather
than endorse what he- believed to be untrue,
Mr. Strohm voted against the whole bill. That
he voted agninsfit for this reason and not be
cause of any hostility to 'the army, is proied
by the fact•that on the same day he voted for a
provision INCREASING THE PAY of pri
vates-of infantry, artillery and riflemen," from
eight to TEN. dollars per month. . This 'v'ote
%hien on page 793 of the Journal, shoWs who
were the trite friends of the soldier and Who
Wished -to 'sustain him in the discharge of his
'patriotic duties. '
• The contest-is not a 'Contest for or against

is a'contest for Canal Conimissioner. It is a
contest between John Strohm and-Seth Clover:
In such a contest, the issue cannot be matter
of doubt. Both parties concede that John

Whereas, - we•are here convened for the pur
pose of rendering *hat aid wecan in pushing
forward to its completion the great temperance
reformation of the nineteenth century
weereas our efforts on the present occasion,
can extend them merely to the communication
of information on the subject of temperance,
slid to the adopting of. plebs for our future
government, with reference to that subject:—
:therefore, be it resolved by this' convention,
That we firmly_ believe the temperance.
cause to be one which materially affects - the
glory of God, the. welfare of the Redeemer's
Kingdom here on Earth, and the interest of our
fellow men for time and eternity. • .
2. That_the_natUral_principles __of_ Allan,
thropy,as well as the requisitions of ft -Common
Christianity, make it the imperative duty of all
men to, assist both by precept and example, in
promoting the temperance reformation.
3. That we believe the scriptural motto—
"ho that is not with me is against me," to be
true in reference to the subject now before this
'convention; and that, to say nothing of those
who are openly against us, we can not com
mend the course of those who biofess to Occu
py-UM-drat.
• 4. '.That consistency obliges us to -condemn
all tb6so who.are engaged in manufacturing,
vending and using. intoxicating drinks; provi
ded, however, that they are not designed for
sacramental, Medicinal or mechanical—purpo
ses.
6. -:That the profession we have made, and
the stand we i now take, iinpoies upon us the
necessity of avowing openly our hostility to all
intoxicating beverages; rand of employing all
lawful means for-their suppression. .
0. That we' highly commend the praisewor
thS, example of those self-denying persopsyrho
open Temperance Houses for the accommoda
tion of the friends of temperance.'
7. That those deserve the charge of incon
sistency, 'whilst they profess to sympa
thize with, the friends of temperance, neverthe
less encourage liquor selling hou - ses.
8. That we affectionately exhort all• the
friends of this noble cause, including ourselves,
ossiblq
Hotels, inasmuch. as they act a double pare
towards building up the great temperance move
inedt,
9. That for the permanent prosperity ,and
ultiniate success of . temperance principlesiit is
essential trokeep the public mind awake to the
evils of intemperance, and the effects of tho
traffic in intoxicating drinks.
.10. That public meetings and addresses are
important means of keeping the publio mind
to this' subject, and that we recommend such
meetings to be hold frequently in every school
district In the several counties.
11. Midi we, believe the unlicensed., traffic
in intoxicating drinks to be the legitimate re
sult of the legalised traffic, and that theefforts
of the friends of tempgrance should therefore
be directed to the abolition of tholiconso eys:
tem.
12. That we unite With the friends of the cause
in the counties of York and Cumberland, in tho
opinion that the time has come to .assert out
rights as citizens, and no longer submit to dic
tation of the bar-rooms inin our political action;
and that if the p 'twat parties will not do jus
tice to. the frie sof temperance intheir nom
inations, we ill bo compelled to take such ac
tion as will secure the success of our princi
ples--

TIIS REPOILTNO FRAOD ON VIE GOVHIINIINT.
—The NatiOn't,il Intelligencer copies the report
in the Now York papers - relative to an alleged
fraud of an eitensive charaoter,,said to have
been_praotised upon the_government as one of
the Mexican claims:— . „
We have made inquiry on the subject of
the above reporti and cannot find: that any
thing is known here respecting it, except what
is founded on rumors from New York, and
what has appeared in the papers of that city.
We consider the whole story to be very im
probable,especially,as the only foundation for
it is sai to bo the volwitaty and 'uncalled-for
confession of the Party himself, that his claim
was unstained and obtained, exclusively, by
fabricated papers. - . ,

This is thO voice of a patriot, and should bs
compared with the hypocritical croakings of
those who are continually,talking of disunion,
and trying to conjure up the ghost of a dan
ger which never had and never will have id"
