FARMERS HIGH SCHOOL.
The Board of Trustees of the Farmers
High School met at Harrisburg, on Tu )s
-day of last week, for the purpose of selec
ting a sight for the location of the school.
Judge Watts, from the committee on the
subject, made report of an examination
which he had made of the Farm which
had been offered by Mr. Easton, of Frank
lin county, which lies equidistant between
Mercersburg and Loudon. The compe
tition was close but after due delibera
tion the Board concluded that it would
best promote the interests of the school
to accept the offer of Gen. James Irvin,
of Centre county, and the institution
will accordingly be located there. • Gen.
Irvin gives gratiously to the Board of
Trustees for the use of the Farm School.
two hundred acres of first quality lime.
stone land, eligibly situated at the junc
tion of Penns and Nittany Vallies, with
the right to purchase ono hundred acres
more, on each side of the gift tract, at any
time within five years at $6O per acre,
and to have it on rent in the meantime if
they desire it, at $3OO a year for each
tract. In addition to this the Farmers of
Centre county have subscribed $lO,OOO
for the endowment of the School, the
ayrnent of which is guaranteed by sub
s! a itial men.
The Board then proceeded to the elec
tion &officers, when the Hon. Frederick
Watts was chosen President of the Board
of Truett* and Prof, Charles B. 'frog°,
of Philadelphia, was elected Principal of
the school. We understand that arrange
ments have been made to put the insti
tution into operation without any unneces
sary delay. A committee, consisting of
the President of the Board of Trustees,
and Messrs. McAlister and Miles, were
directed to procure a plan of the buildings
andinake arrangements for their erection,
that by next fall pupils may be admit
ted for instruction.
JOSEPH HENDERSON.
The Philadelphia News says the whig
nomination for Canal Commissioner is a
highly creditable one, and worthy of the
support of all, without regard to party,
who desire the election of an able and
faithful citizen as Canal Commissioner.
We have known Joseph Henderson, o
Washington county, for the last twenty
years past, and known him to be a man
of excellent business qualifications, of
sound judgment, and great purity of char
acter. He is emphatically an intelligent,
upright, honest man, fully . qualified for
the office, and possessing the integrity of
character, which would afford a guarantee
that the duties of his office would be faith
fully dish barged. In politics, he has all
his life be kn a consistent and straightfor
ward Whig. Had the Republican Con
vention, at Pittsburgh nominated him, as
it should have done, he might have been
elected; far, though never an Abolition
ist or Free Soiler, he has no love for
Slavery, and is opposed to the Kansas
outrages, and in favor of the restoration
of the Missouri Compromise. Had they
presented him as their candidate, they
would not only have given character to
their organization, but ensured in all hu
man probability, a triumph in the State.
Now that Mr. Henderson is the Whig
candidate, standing on a platform of prin
ciples which must be acceptable to Repub
licans, and his own views being well
known to conicide with theirs in rela
tion to the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise, their true course would be
to drop Passmore Williamson as their
candidate, and unite in the support of
Mr. Henderson. By so doing they might
accomplish a two-fold purpose, the defeat
of Loco Focoism in the State, and a tri
umphant vindication of the demand made
by them for the restoration"iii the Mis
souri Compromise Whether they will
be likely do this; we know not, but certain
it is if they have a greater regard.for the
triumph of their own principles, than de-
Sire to have everything their own way,
they will not hesitate a single day to unite
in support of Mr. Henderson., Adhering
to Mr. Williamson can result in nothing
but the success of Mr. Plumer, the Loco
Foco nominee, which will be proclaimed
as an endorsement of the Pierce Admin
istration and condemnation of the resto
ration of the Missouri Compromise. U
niting in support of Mr. Henderson may,
most probably would, lead to the defeat
of Mr. Plumer and a vindication of the
Republican policy. We hope good sense
and patriotism will so far characterise the
conduct of the Whigs, Republicans and
Americans, in the State, as to unite in
support - of one candidate in opposition to
the Loco Foco nominee. Let them do
this, and they cannot fail to prevent a Lo
co Foe°. triumph in the State.
THE NAVAL BOARD
The recent sweeping decisions of the
Board of Naval Officers are beginning to
attract more than ordinary attention.—
The fact that upwards of two hundred of
ficers have been selected for judgment
by fifteen, r and without the slightest
chance of being heard, is naturally ex
citing astonishment and indignation. The
Boston Courier, speaking of the secret
Board, says : "It is suspected that the
proceedings of this 'Court of High Com
mission' were more remarkable for haste
and personal prejudice, than for that calm,
judicial investigation which the law au
thorizing it Jlearly intended."
We aro inclined to concur in the same
opinion from the gross injustice done a
meritorious officer within ourown knowl
edge —ono rho has seen twenty years of
active service at sea, and who has time
and agairi received the commendation of
the Secretary of the Navy for efficient
performance of duty. The proscription
of such an offieer
indicates that prejudice
rather than discrimination largely influ
enced the action of the Board,

POSITION OF THE WHIGS.
The HarrisbUrg Whig in stating the
reasons „which have constrained the
Whigs of Dauphin county to maintain
their organization and nominate a ticket,
expresses so exactly the feelings which
have actuated the Whigs of Cumberland
county in pursiting. a similar course,
that we transfer the article to our col
unins. "Against the men and measures
of Democracy," remarks that paper, "the
old-line Whigs are as firmly fixed as ever,
whilst in , regard to our brethren-of the
American order we commend the princi
ples and oppose
. only the mode of their
operation. The American party is com
posed largely of Whigs, and bylts secre
sy has withdrawn from the Whig party
thousands of its family friends and formed
new ties with only hundreds of its ever
bitter foes. In all their preliminary pro
ceedings, as well as in the important
council nominations, the Whigs have
been barre I and forbidden. Though
we felt the' loss of friends, we did not
complain. Even though part of the
Whig ticket was sacrificed last fall by
this alliance, we submitted in silence and
without repihing. But 'we could and we
have determined to maintain our organi
zation, and adhere to our creed. We re
frained from all participation in the Dem
ocrat° nominations, and we were exclu
ded from those of the Americans. What
then 'could the old-line Whigs do ?
'What should have been our policy ?
Should we submit to the indignity in si
lent contempt, and vote for the men who
despise us, or should •we in the hour of
need turn traitor and vo - te for the men
who have ever denounced and battled a
gatust us? We could do neither; and
thus far have done neither.
A convention„ called by the Whig
county committee, met, and have put
forth such candidates as must command
the respect of all parties, and at least the
united support of the Whigs.
In this Whig convention an entire re
affirmance was bad of the principles of
the old Whig party, and to it was super
added the American sentiment of a
change in the naturalilation laws. To
the secresy of the American order in
effecting this this change -we objected,
and still object. We can see no reason
for-ii idnight meetings, and for denials,
amounting almost to falsehoods, in the
support of a principle true in theory and
necessary in practice. It implies cowar.
dice in itself, and exhibits a dread and
fear of the enemy it despises and whom
it can readily overwhelm. There is no
difference, then, in the creed of the
Americans and ourselves, but there is a
cifference in the way in which those prin
ciples aro to be carried out and made ef
fective. We do openly and in the "'pub
lic gaze, that which thoy *do secretly and
in conclave.
WIG-WAG
We see it stated in some quarters that
Gen. Cameron will not be a candidate for
the U. S. Senate next winter. Ho seems
determined however, to try and have
souie friends on hand in the next Legis
lature for whatever may turn up. It . is
stated that the American Assembly nom
inations in Lancaster County comprise
four Cameron democrats, and one former
Whig. Kirk Rains, of Perry county,
who voted for Cameron last winter, is a
gain the American candidate for Assem
bly in that county.

Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society

NEW PAPER--- The Weekly,Anzerican
Whig is the title of a handsome new
weekly paper just started at Harrisburg,
devoted to Whig prindiles. Its edito
rial columns display a good deal of talent,
and altogther the paper deserves the en
couragement of the Whigs of the Com
cnouwealth,
WE SO TOO.
Our sensible editorial friend, Worth, of
the Lebanon Courier, notices the tickets
presented by the Whigs and Ameiicans of
Cumberland county, and remarks in con
clusion—"it seems now to be generally
regretted that the Americans of Cum
berland County did not come opt openly
and unite with all favorable to their prin
ciples. By another year they will learn
wisdom."
INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.—The Op
ponents of the Democratic party in Berks
county Pa., have followed the example
set in the . western part of the State, of
calling general public meetings to elect
delegates to nominate local candidates,
instead of confining them to restricted
party associations. For this purpose a
meeting, composed of Whig-s, Americans,
and Democrats, was held at the - Court
House, in Reading, on the Bth inst., at
which a mosa intolerably long string of
resolutions was adopted, providing for
the election of delegates by the people to
nominate a county ticket.
FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR.—The
Third Annual Exhibition of the Frank
lin County Agricultural Society will be
held at Chambersburg on Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday, the 2d, 3d and 4th
of October next. The list of premiums
is unusually large, and Gov. POLLOCK
has given a positive assurance that he
wiil deliver an address on the grounds, on
Thursday at 1 o'clock. •
THE MAN FOR THE WORK!—While
we must say that President PIERCE has
generally succeeded in making very unfit
'appointments, candor compels the ac
„knowledgement that WILSON SIIANON
was the very man of the nation to be Se
lected for Governor of Kansas. A de
spatch from St. Louis tells us he had'ar
rived at Westport on the 31st ult, made
a speech, acknowledged the legality. of
the Legitature, and avowed himself in
favor of ;'Shivery in the territory.
