TO THE PEOPLE.
In our country every man is, and ought
to be n politician. Not a tricky demagogue,
but ono familiar with the science of_Gov
ernment—with our own Democratic sys
tem as organized and administered—with
the conduct of our official servants ; and
with the wants and necessities of the mil
how, whose time is spent-in toil—who live
only to labor, and desire above every thing
else, the prosperity of their country.
For some cease, industry has been com
pelled to stop work. 'rho produce of the
farmer is without a market—the inaunfac
iurers hove been forced to discharge thei . r
aperativescommerce has almost ceased,
anti with more money in the country ,
there is less that passes from hnud to hand.
The poor must beg fora day's work, to
earn their daily meal, and be refused.
Citizens ! for all this there is a cause
somewhere hi the machined of the laws
or their administrntion. Is it not because
,we have bought too much, and sold too
lisle! Continual purchases frets for-
eign markets, have filled our own, and there
tr no labor for our artisans, end consequent
ly no money to be circulated ninon them.
it wits never so, when our manulnriories
were protected from this foreign competi
tion, Pennsylvanians ! and especially the
citizens of our county, have always suffer
ed in trade and business when this state
of things existed,
For once, in our history, the truth is op
parent. Some of the favorites of . Power;
tno minions of the present National Ad
minstration, advocate free trade. The low
juggle of pretending to be in favor of a
protective tarifl is now abandoned; and
Free Trade is avowed ; and time question
comes hack to you, fellow citizens,-1/71 1

years that the National Administration

the people to submit to its demands. The

asked to be permitted to vote upon their

message, urging, as the excuse fey the
wrong, that,an early settlement of the trou
bles in Kansas Wan of vast importance, and
to secure any State Government would
certainly produce that end. The minions
of Buchanan used every appliance, with
out success, until the ...English Sn gide,"
and its accompanying bribes, compelled
the People of Kansas to accept the fraud,
or stay out of the Un'ort for five fears.
Thus, in one act, Congress and Buchanan
himself, have written Valsehood"on every
lord of that special message, which pre
tended that an '.early settlement" was all
that was 'desired, The tribes offered in

A County Convention appointed the un
dersigned a County Committee to issue a
call for a naminaiing Convention to issue
a cull for a nominating Convehtion. Ac
cornranying that call, we havd deemed it
proper to preface it by the preceding re

the interests involved: The hold, manly
and united action of th-t true men of every
political creed, who agree upon the eines
tigns above submitted, will secure the nom

ceptable to all, and which shall reflect hon
or upon the Convention. We ask of 011,
who sympathize with these views, to an
earnest effort to union and success.

of a foolish and oppressive Administration
who wish to so far protect our own manu

For the Journal.
Mr. Editor:—
As the time for making our county nom.
inations will soon have arrived I will with
your permission, offer is In Pt remarks upon
the subject. We believe it will bo co"ne
ded that there is generally too much indif
ference manifested in the selection of del
egates Those desisous of dieing nomi
nations consult a few of their friends In
the different districts, who attend to hav
ing delegates elected favorable to the stand
ing candidates for office ; and in this way
nominations are frequently made that are
far from being acceptable to the majority
of the citizens, consequently as scion as
they announced dissatisfaction it expresso
in all quartets; this.lends to division, and
i finally to defeat. Now who is responsible
for the consequences ? We answer those
who take no interest in our primary meet
' lugs. If our tax payers, those who labor
and toil to support our government, were
to turn out end select delegates on whose
honesty integrity and judgement they
could rely, then toe might expect to have
I put • to nomination, a ticket that would not
I
I disgrace our party and which could be tri
luraphnt tly elected.
It is, certainly, the imperative duty of
every ritizen of a free government .to a:-
tend to what affects not only his own inter
ests but the interests of the whole commu
nity, and the nine who remains indiffer
ent to and perhaps ignorant of the affairs
ol his country is tin unworthy citizen, and_
little nppercintes the glorious boon which
our forefathers fought, bled ar.d died to
sbtain, Perhaps some may say that we
hutve not en ougn of honest man in the
community to fill the various parts of pub
lic trust. This we do not believe—degen
erate ns this ego has become there are still
men of sterling integrity to be found in
the different professions, occupations and
pursuits ; but they are not the men who
are coctinually thrusting themselves for
ward and harping on their damn's to office
and whose laudable purpose is to leno
their pockets and geese their constituents.
No men of correct moral principle and
honeruble motives would scorn, the base
nickery and cringing that is practiced by
office seekers.
'ln conclusion, we would remind all who
are. oppose to the policy pursued by the
present National Administration, and.wish
to give it a just rebuke for its contempt of
Inridamentni principl of our own gov
ernment, that oar only hope of success
lies in our harmony, of action. Tho op
position will use every means in their pow.
er to pros ote discord in our ranks: They
have oven gone so for us to suggest our
candidate for the Legislature. Now we
any give us n good ticket and success is
certain, but without It defeat may follow.

Opinions on Slavery.
The Southern journals continue to "ugi•
tate" the Slavery question. The - New
Orleans Crescent is expressing its alarm
that Missouri will become a Free State,
and thus diminibh the number of States
holding slaves. The Misses vi Democrat
per contra, is rejoiceing over ;he prospect.
The Savannah News, too, declares that
Judge Green. nProfessor in the law school
at L'ebanon, Tennessee, although a native
of Virginia, and a lifelong slaveholder, as
was his father before him, is ic a danger
ous as well as untrue citixen of the South.'
The reason given for this fierce denuncia
tion is, that thakvenerable Professor enter
tain, "the damnable sentiment that Sla
very is an evil, morally, socially and polit
ically." In sell•defence, Professor Green
suggests that hi: considers the "evil' ,
greater to the master than to the slave;
that he does not regard the relation of mas
ter and slave as being wrong and that
until within the last twenty-five years his
opinions, now so obnoxious, were those of
all leading Southern men. But this avails
him nothing. The News admits that Jef
ferson, Madison and others like them,
concurred in Professor Green's views, but
avers that if they had lived till the present
time they would have known better. Ac
cordingly, Professor Green is stigmatized
as a danger us man, and the law school at
Lebanon is urged to diarniis him.
