'J'he prin ciple which we advocate h this, that every iiU'ii (no matter what may he hjs Qalling,) ought to labor at it with dilligcnec ami perseverance. We are not of those who deem the humbler professions of life dis honorable. 15ut lest we should be inisuu der-too 1 here we would say, that we mean eyery biirfuf profession, wh'cli by its own bqjitimate operation \yi!l produce your/and fiff ml It is ijgt }he labor at which a jujjn may to|l, tlpit YV'ill disgrace him. lie piny be an upright, honest and benevo }ent man, although ho has to dig ditches pr saw wood for his living, and be con stantly clad in course habiliments, Humid we render obeisance to a man be 3 pause the luxuries of foreign climes supply Ins table, and who dresses with H'.l that juoney can counnaud; he may after all, be lap most despicable being upon oaptli, lie I nay be the object of general hate, and live Duett ml for, and die unwept. The pjenients of p man's intrinsic worth must jie within himself, ai)d be unaffected by that merely surround him. This llllicli we think is sufficient to define our I jews of the various classes of men in the World. We judge a man by his fictions, p i matter whether he is white or blu>h, jiigh or low, richer poor. Having said so much we are now brought to the point where we are prepared to sav, that every //I (tit tit flu's county ouyht to maui/'i st n spirit of inutnot ciicuuriiifcniritt townn/s f.iic/t other. In a certain sense this might b uf universal application, but not in the light in which \ye ayp viewing the thing under consideration. The difference we plight explain thus; In the former it is a yeaernl truth , but in the latter, it ss a jrqtli clothe (/ with the power of a personal interest. And should it be thoroughly aojpd upon, its direct tendency would be to decc/ojte the ntental and physical re sources of the. county. To show this in its (rue light suppose we take a glance at the putual practice of men, and the mutual p-:yourageiuent which tljey render to each utljer, a;p) (hen see what tlpj eft'oets are which such a regimen produces. Since we have spoken about tho farmer already >ye will take up hi- case first. Suppose a fiimier goes to town to sell some ijrain which ho ha- raised. He is told by the \}Proliant that lie must &c)l it for so much for he will give him no mure, because he can briny in the /four for tnat amount ;nd he just as good to him. Well, the farmer yields to the aigunieut, and sells, but it is done reluctantly, and he g.es jiome dissatisfied. In a lew days he tries Jiis hi k again and *akes to town a load of (lan to sell, lie asks for tliisten dollars per ton, lut tlie .Merchant or some other piio tells him he is foolish to expect that, tun) then enters into a general leckoning JIS jo what tt cost )ii HI to raise it; and what )ie unyht to sell it for; and that lie must pot to get as itiuoh for his Hay us farmers iju who live near cities and whose jaioi posts two hundred dollars per a eye; (lug we are all poor acre mi I have to work |'r nur living, and that if lie gers eight dollars for his hay it is as much as he ought to expect. The farmer sees the rule, which before was so potent, now re versed. He sees the inconsistency, and its force begin- to rankle within him, He passes over the present c mditioii in which lie is placed, but the thing is not forgot ten ; he only consoles 1 i uself by thinking {h.yt his time to do bettor may IODIC, and (o (his directs his attention. Well, it is fmnd in (lie course of time that he has or 80 dollars, oil he goes with this to AVp|}syillo, or some other place,—buys what lie wants, and, (as lie does not value his (ime very much j lie has found that he has saved from three to live dollars, and this is \yorth saving. He is so elated with ib'ij trip that lie busies himself to tell his yehjhbors, so that a few join together and pend oft" for a load. Here a system of pog eat Dog begins; the farmer will only bring to the Merchant what he cannot dispose of elsewhere, and the Merchant gannot afford tp give him a$ much for it, jts };e pouldj did he do all his (rud'fig with hup, Wp fnye heard fay.ipers say that fliuy will pot fuy ;pi article frqm the Mer phautsdn to\yn, only what they cannot iKissibly do without Now without blam ing either party, we say that {his is wrong jf our vieps be righf A\ e believe that the price ut which an article can be brouggt (roui abroad, is not the criterion by which p determine what the same artielp shall be f old for, which is pit ducet.| lipre, To fids, jq?t let us try how works. A bipjnor it compelled tp St.!! his tjylieat and i <ru, in order to be i -cm (.if "ot be ■• i) the same grains brought from abroad. •• en n think from what iuforuiatjon \ye < *' that the farmer who sejls his tlcn *l,'io per bushel, and , DO \ t I l *n 1 He)l ihem for less ' j d <•, i J |,f i- grains cost if! farmers mure labor to raise them ip tbis i.- county than some other places. Now then s if they niu-t sell these for the same as those who bring them from abroad can r why not glye thciu the same price fi. l 1 oats, buphwheat, potatoes, hay and all ■. [such, which these articles would have to .1 he sold for, if purchased abroad and brought e here. The argument if grnxl in one case, t ought to be good in all, an 1 so applied. 1 Vet it is a noted fact that the Farmer i' does not get over one half of the price for ! these things which they would cost, if r brought from abroad. The rule is wrong r pud should never be applied. The Farm s ey's antidote is wrong too. by go - ipg oft with his cash, he makes the Mer chant less able to sell moderately. Jl< must make hjs hemy by scf/lny, toy it is his business, and hu capita) is invested in it; and by carrying the t>a.-h to a for eign market, no person in the county gofs the benefit of it. The Merchant lias a claim upon you for \oovjmfronayc, and if ' you withhold it, you suffer by it indirect ' ly. lieforc you go off to purchase your ' goods, just reflect upon whetherthccounty ' is not a sufferer by it, and whether after ) all, you yourself are no gainer. And let ' the Merchant reflect upon whether it is ' good policy to subjoqt the Farmer to any ■ such rule as the ono about which we have ■ been talking. We bo\v tl)pt it ia often 1 argued that it is our duty to buy, u-hcrc 1 we can do it the cheapest. We think ' this rule is faulty, which we will endeavor 1 to show before we arc done with our " Flea ' for Potter." At any rate, we feel confi dent about being able to show that Mer chants would not like others to adopt such a rule. It is the duty, as well as the best ilicv, for both Farmers and Merchants to *ricourage and patronize each other, fly so doing, the community at large receives a benefit. The cash which the Merchants send out of the county to pay for flour Ac.,, might and ought to he paid to the Farm ers in the county, if they would exert i themselves to raise crops as they uught to do. This sum of itself, spattered over the county would help jfOUtly all classes' in it. Why should this constant drainage i of cash hi; still continued? Is there not j cleared land enough in the county to j raise enough tu feed all its inhabitants '! A FRIEND TO POTTER. For the l'ottcr Journal.

The Journal is a political, not a religious newspaper—secular, not sectarian —and independent from sectarian influence or tendency, no matter what may be the re ligious views of the editor. It holds that all questions will bear discussion, and that motives and examples which will not bear discussion, are unworthy of public confidence. Finally, it makes no claims of support upon religious grounds, aud its neutrality upon questions of general or local interest, (no matter what may lead to their discussion,) cannot be purchased for the consideration of the retention of a few subscribers' names upon its books.— Its columns are open for the free discus sion of all questions involving the moral, religious, social or political welfare ofour county —eschewing slaug, individualities, and personalities—inviting anysuch high-, toned discussion as will merit aud receive the approbation of its readers.

It is to carry out this idea of subject- j ing everything to the Slave Power, that a bill has been introduced iuto our Leg islature to abolish the District composed of Susquehanna and Bradford, and to Leg islate Judge Wir.MOT out of office.

American Slavery, is its destruction of o; . . the marriage relation. How any chris tian at the north, can remain silent on T ' ..:sueh a suandal, is more than we pan un tdgrstaud. Indeed, we doubt if a real christian can keep silence on this sin and shatue of the Nation. .Some people try j. to convince themselves, that the Slaves really are married sometimes; but a mo ments reflection will convince every per son that it is impossible for a Slave to be married. A .Slave is tho property of another. Now property is subject to sale —frequently against the wishes of the owner, and at the owners death goes into - the hands of guardians, aduiiuistratois, i auditors or other agents of the law, so that no person in all the south, held as a ■ Slave, oan by any possibility be a hus ■ ■ band or wife; for these no mail can put ! | asunder. We are led to these reflections i by the notice in a New Orleans paper of ' a pretended marriage of two Slaves, which the Crctcent of that city commends "to "the careful perusal of Northern fr end , "who are so much interested in the I " 'wretched* slaves." There was, of course, a good show of dry goods ami i vory, which the reader can imagine, aud then follows this passage: "About 10 o'clock the Rev. Mr. Collins came in. ami they were soon followed.

Can he be a minister of the Gospel who keeps silence on such a pub-, lie aud notorious sin? What is that re-, ligion good for, that encourages and em braces such public adultery ?

That we have evident reason to hulievp that the Abolitionists, in Kansas and out of it, have a much greater desire to over ' throw the Democratic party of the nation than to ameliorate the condition of the slave : and while they are bold in their protestations against what they cajl the " slave power," they conceal a thirst and desire for political place, they would grasp at the cost uf the broken and shattered bonds of the Union.
