of its own Commonwealth mantain itself in the ascendant, with such an issue before the people. We venture to assert, that the correctneas of our principles, and no blus tering political cmphyric must be permitted to administer to our downfall. Brawlers, who mistake sound for sense, and are as vain of their idle declamation as it they were utteriug proverbial wisdom, are very properly fast losing their hold upon public confidence, because the shallowness of their eonceptions and the vapidity of their ha rangues are equally injurious to the general welfare. "It is currently reported that there will be an attempt to pass resolutions through the Democratic State Convention which meet at Harrisburg ou Tuesday next, con demnatory of the sale of the Maiu Line. We trnst that no such insane measure will be countenanced by tbat body. Senseless agitators desire to turn the matter to their own personal political acoouut, regardless alike of its effect npon the Democratic party aud the welfare of the Commonwealth. There may be some such iu the Philadel phia deiegatiou to that Convention; but we thiuk that they are limited iu number, and bankrupt in both iufluence and knowledge. By a prudent management of party affairs, leaving all extraeous subjects out of the Convention, and limiting its action to the nomination of two Judges of the supreme Court, we shall be successful at the October election, beyond the chance of defeat. But if we are to multiply issues, and court op position, and probably a disruption of our party, when all is peace and harmony, we eaunot reasonably expect to succeed in the contest, nor be able to sustain the General Administration of our own choosing. Those Democratic members of the Legis lature who voted for the sale of the Main Line, no doubt acted conscientiously, and they will certainly have pride in justifying their conduct. Will they quietly permit themselves to be assailed by a Conventiou, elected for a special purpose, haviug no reference to the question of the Maiu Liue ? This would be looking lor more abjectness •than human nature is ofteu willing to as sume. The Legislature is responsible to the whole people. A partizan Convention, elected for one purpose, and transacting business of another sort, is responsible to nobody, nor does its action represent the iment of any consituency. It is usurping a power more delegated to it, aud endanger ing the unity of those whose confidence it has abused. If the aet authorising the sale is unconstitutional, there is a proper legal tribunal to determine the question, aud to it, we presume, it will be submitted. No risk, therefore, should he run in dragging it into the canvas for Governor and mem bers of the Legislature.

June 12. 1857. BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. TO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS. A FARM WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERY MAN. THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made arrangements by which all who desire to settle or purchase a home can do so. Tlie Farms consist of the best limestone soil of the most superior quality for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into which an exten sive emigration is now pouring. The property is located in Elk County, Pennsylvania, in the midst of atnriving population of some 10,000. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the terri ble plague of the west, fever, is unknown. It also has an abundance of the best quality of Coal and Iron. The price to buy it out is from $3 to S2O per acie, payable by instal ments, to be located at the time of purchasing or a share of 25 acres entitling to locate the same lor S3OO, payable $6 per month, or 12£ acres payable $4 per month. Discount for ev ery sum of SIOO and under, paid in advance, a discount of 5 percent, will be allowed, aud for over SIOO a discount of 10 per cent 1 11 considering the advantages of emigrating to this locality the following are presented: First—Tho soil is a rich limestone, capable of raising the heaviest crops, owiug to which this settlement has attained its prevent great prosperity. Second—lt is in the centre of the great North West Coal Basin and is destined soon to become one of the greatest business places in the State. It will supply the great Lake market, (according to population and travel the greatest in the Union.) It has five worka ble veins of the best Bituminous Coal, amount ing in tiie aggregate to over 22 feet, which makes 22,000 tons of coal under each acre.— This will make the land of inestimable value. The eminent state geologist, Dr. Chas T. Jackson, of Boston, lias made a geological sur vey of the land, and analysed the coal, the iron ore and the limestone. This report, together witli maps, will be furnished to inquirers. Third—Three Railroads are laid out through this property. The Sunbury and Erie Rail road gives us a market lor our coal to the lakes —it ruus from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of this road has lieen finished, and is now in running order. A heavy force is now work ing from Erie towards our land in the western direction, the means for the completion of wnich Ins been raised—it will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Railroad connects us with New York, Boston, and Pittsburg. The Venango Road connects ns with the West. There are already good Turnpike Roads run ning through this property, various other roads have been opened to accommodate the emigra tion and settlement which has already taken place. There is no opportunity equal to it now of fered to the man who wants to provide himself a home in an easy way, and make a settlement where he can live in prosperity and indepen dence in a climate PERFECTLY HEALTH V. No case of the lever lias ever lieen known to occur iu this settlement. Itismot like going to the backwoods of the west, among perhaps intolerant people, where there is 110 society, churches or schools, where the price of land is high, ami where the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest climate in tlie world, has to endure sickness and pain, ami perhaps ruin his health and that of his family. But here is a a thriving settlement, having three towns, con taining churches, schools, hotels, stores, saw mills, grist mills, and every tiling desired.— There i a cash-market at band. The lumber trade last year amounted to over two hundred million feet of lumber. In a short time, ow ing to the coal, it will become still more valua ble, as a number of iron wonts and manufac tories will soon he started; they are at present starting them extensively at Warren. Even for these who do not wish to go there, the pay ments are such that they can easily buy a farm to save their rising families from want in tWt fu ture, or to gain a competence by the rise which will take place in the value of lands. By in outlay scarcely missed, a substaut al provision can be made. Persous should make early application, ap ply or write to E. Jeffries, Secretary, N'o. 135 Walnut Street, below Fifth, Philadelphia.— Letters carefully answered giving lull informa tion. Shares or tracts of land can be bought or secured by letter enclosing tho first instalment of five dollars, when the subscriber wiil he fur nished with books, maps, Ac. Warrantee Deeds giv ,n. Persons can also purchase from our Agents. i Route from Philadelphia to Tyrone on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and thence by Stage to the land. This is a delighttul season ( to visit -St. Mary's—the best hotel accommoda tion is afforded. Enquire for E. 0. Shultz, Esq., the Agent for the property at St. Mary's. June 12, 1857. TAKE NOTin. ! THAT all Farmers desirons f preserving the health of their Cattle, and at the same time, of increasing the pr >tlts of their Stock from 20 to 25 per eeut. on equal amounts of food, should use the Vegetcble Cattle Powder, Manufactured by BRKIXIC. FROVEMXN fc Co., Chemists, of Philadelphia. N'o discovery of the present age is of equal importance to the world at large, either in a scientific point of view, or in a pecuniary relation. It is just now beginning to attract the attention it so richly deserves. The experience of thousands of Farmers from Nova Scotia to Texas, lnve united 111 the common opinion that it is a very cheap source of wealth to those who own Stock and cultivate the soil, lit different parts of the United States the scientific Farmers have sub jected it to rigid tests, yet all are compelled to unite in awarding it the merit of greatly en hancing the value of Stock, even to a smpris ing degree. When we reflect that a Horse takes into his system over 13 pounds, and a Cow over 11 pounds of Oxygen every 24 hours, and that this Oxygen can only combine in the body with Hydrogen and Carbon, and is thrown off in the firm of waJery capor and Carbonic acid; it atonce becomes apparent that if this Oxygen douid be made to combine with agents, without cteroyiug any of the really nutritive portions of the iood, that much more good would result from the same amount of food than otherwise. This discovery lias been made by the Proprie tors, and has been honestly tested by the ex perience of thousands of frugal and industri ous Farmers. Frequent demands have bien made by the "wise ones" to disclose the ele ments and the mode of Manufacturing it, and thus give a free scope to such a valuable dis covery. Iu reply we answer, that some persons must prepare and compound it, even If it was universally made known, and as we are the discoverers and are able to supply the whole world if it must be by our extensive arrange ments, we do not see that much good would follow, perhaps the contrary. It would soon be adulterated and thus injure more thau it would do good. Since our discovery has been made, a great many false preparations bearing the name of Cattle Powder have been put out by unprinci pled men, hoping to gain notice by the popu larity obtained for ours. We advise ali to be ware of imposition; men will do anything for money. Let every man look out for himself. Each pack of the true genuine Powder has the signature of Breinig. Froneficld 1$ Co., on the end of each pack, all others aie look well to it. The Proprietors also prepare a CATTLE UHIMEXT, equal, if not superior, to any now before the public. It is now rapidly groiring into favor, and will soon equal in popularity our far-famed Cattle Powders. Cy For particulars, see Pamphlets. FOR SALE BY G. W. RUPP, Bedford, Ps.

S. J. CABTNBH, Adni'r. June 6, 1857. Woodbury. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW. HEAD TIUS—OLD AND YOUNG, Is, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery of this age of progress, for it will restore, perma nently, gray hair to its original color, cover the head of the bald with a most luxuriant growth, remove at once all dandruff and itch ing, cure all scrofula, and other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, etc. It will cuie, as if by magic, nervous or periodical headache; make the hair soft, glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age. The following is from a distinguished mem ber of the medical profession : ST. Pam., January, 1, 1865. PROFESSOR O. J. WOOD: DEAR SIR : Unsolicited, 1 send yon this certificate. After being nearly bald for a long ! time, and having tried all the hair restoratives ! extant, and having no faith in any, I was in ; duced, on hearing of yours to give it a trial. | I placed myself in the hands of a barbar, aud had my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and tlie Restorative then applied and well : rubbed in, till the scalp was aglow. This I I repeated every morning, aud in three weeks 1 the young hair appeared and grew rapidly troni August last till the present time, and is now thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant to the touch; whereas, before, it was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, and that little Was disappearing very rrpidly. "I still use your restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perlect crop ot hair. Now, I had read of these things—and who has not? 1 but have not seen hitherto any case where any ! person's hair was really benefitted by any ol | the hair tonic, etc., of the day; and it really I gives me pleasure to record the result of my i experience. I have recommended your pre j paralion to • tliers, and it already has a large ' ami general ssle throughout the Territory.— I The people here know its effects, and have j confidence in it. The supply you sent us, as ! wholesale ag;nts for the Territory, is nea'ly I exhausted, aud daily inquiries are made for it. ; You deserve credit for your discovery; and I, ! for one, return you my thanks tor the benefit it has done me, for I had certainly despaired : long ago of ever effecting such a result. Yours, hastily. J. W. BOND. Firm of Bond A- Kelley, Druggists, b(. Paul. [From the Editor of the Real Fstat" Adv'ser.] BOSTON, 27 School Street, March 20, 1855. DEAR SIR : Having become prematurely quite gray, 1 was induced, some six weeks since, t<> make a trial of your Restorative. I have used !e*s than two bottles, but the gray hairs have t.ll disappeared; aud although my hair has not fully attained its original eolor, yet the pro t cess of change is gradually going on, and I ant in great hopes that in a short time my hair will lie as dark as formerly. I have also been much i gratified at the healthy moisture and vigor of the hair, which before was harsh and dry, and 1 it has ceased to come out as formerly. Re>p :Ctfuliy yours, D. C. M. KUPP. Professor Wood. CAULYLE, Illinois, June 19, 1855. 1 have used Professor Wood's Hair Kestora ! five, aud have admired its wonderful effect.— i My hair was becoming, as I thought, prema j turely gray, but by the use of the "Restora tive," it has resumed its original color, and I I lutve no ilouiit permanently so. • SIDNEY BREESB.

April 8, 1357.-zzeq. ONLY ONE BOTTLE OF DR. SA .T FORD'S INVIGORATOB, OR LIVER REMEDY IS required to cure any one trouble' 1 with Liver Complaints, unless the most desper ! ate of cases, when the SECOND bottle will, with ! scarce a single failure, restore the patient to health and vigor. We wish to call tlie atten tion of ail to these facts, that the In vigor a tor j is compounded by a physician who has used it ! in his practice for the past twenty years with a I success almost credulous, aud that it is entire | ly vegetable, lieing composed wholly of gums. Some idea of the strength of these gums ! ntav tie formed When it is known one bottle of | the lavigorater contains as much strength as j one hundred doses of Calomel without -any of [ its deleterious effects. One bottle is the surest thing known to carry away the had effects of mineral poison ot any kind. Oa!y one bottle is needed to throw out of the system the effects of medicine after a long sickness. One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all yellowish or unnatural co'or frotu the skin. One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve the stomach and prevent the food from rising and souring. Only oue dose taken before retiring prevcuts nightmare. One dose taken at night loosens the bowels gently, and cures eostiveness. One dose taken after each meal will cure Dyspepsia. % Oue dose of two tea-spoonsful will always relieve Sick Headache. Oue bottle taken for female obstruction re moves the cause af the disease, and makes a perfect cure.. Only one dose immediately relieves Cholic, while One dose often repeated is a sure cure for Cholera Morbus, and a sure preventative of Cholera. One dose taken often wiP prevent the recur rence of bilious attacks, while it relieves all painful feelings. CC?~ One or two doses taken occasionally is one of ttie best remedies for a cold ever known. Thousands of cases of inflammation and weak ness of the lungs have been cured by the lu vigorator. One dose taken a short time bofore eating gives vigor to the appetite and makes food di gest well. One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diar rhea in its worst forms, while summer and bow el complaints yild almost to the first dose. One or two doses cures attacks caused by worms, while for worms in children, there is no surer, safer and speedier remedy in the world, as it never fails. There is no exaggeration in these statements, they are plain arid sober facts, that we can give evidence to prove, while all who use it are giving their unanimous testimony in its favor. We wish all who are sick and debilitated to try this remedy, and test it thoroughly, and any who are not benefitted by its use we should like to hear from, as we have yet to hear from the first person who has used a bottle of Invig orator without receiving benefit, for there arc such ustoaishmg medicinal virtues in it, that all, no matter how long they have tieen affect ed. if their complaint arises from a deranged liver, will be benefitted, if not entirely cured.

This Convention of Delegates, representing tlie Freemen of Pennsylvania, opposed totho leading measures of the late National Admin' istration, and the continuance of the same de structive policy clearly foreshadowed by the acta and declarations ot the administration ir*t inaugurated, do Reeolre, That the maintenance of the pi* xei ples promulgated in the Declaration ot Inde pendence, and embodied in the Federal Con stitution, is essential to the preservation of our Republican institutions: that the Federal Constitution, the liberties of the people, th • sovereign rights of the States, and the Union of the States, must and shall tie preserved Pexolcfd, 1 hat villi our Republican fathers, we hold it to hi; a soli-evident truth, that ail men are created equal; that they are endowed by 14eirCreator with certain inalienable rights; that among these ate life, liberty and the pur suit ot happiness that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men; and that the primary duty and object of our Feder al Government is to secure these rights t all persons under its exclusive jurisdiction. That, as our Republican fathers abolished Slaver in all the national territory, and ordained in the Constitution that no person shall lie deprived of lile, liberty or property, without due process of law. it becomes our duty to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all at tempts to violate it, tor the purpose of estab lishing Slavery in the territories of the United States. That we deny the authority of Con gress. of the Supreme Court, of a Territorial Legislature, of any individual or association of individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery in any territory of the United States, while the Constitution shall lie maintained. Re talced, That the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories ot the United States, lor their government; a power not controverted for the first sixty years of our national existence, hut exercised" by the general Concurrence of all < 'paitments of the Government, through every Administration from Washington to Folk; and that in the ex ercise of this unquestionable power, It is the duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories, those twin relics of barbarism, polygamy and Slavery. ' ' i Resolved, Th at we are tet Fki emen, and that while we retain the inestimable'rights of Free men, secured to us by the sacrifices, sufferings and blood of our Revolutionary fathers, we w ill not submit to have a new Constitution imposed upon us by the extra-judicial opinions of Jud ges of the Supreme Court—opinions subversive of the rights of human nature—in conflict with the truth of history, with the unbroken action of the government and the law of the land, as heretofore pronounced bv the Federal J udicia rv, and the Courts of nearly every State iu th<x American Union. Resolved, That the recent opinions of the ma jori'y of the Judges of the Supreme Court, iu a case over which they decided the Court had no jurisdiction, and, therefore, no authority to pronounce the law arising therein, is hut ano ther step in consummation ot that conspiracy against our free institutions, which had its in ception in tile repeal of the Missouri Compro mise: th.it it is the direct result of the late tri umph of the Slave Power iu the election of its candidate, James Buchan an, to the Presidency, and unless prompt}- nb iked by the people at the ballot-box, may lie followed by other usur pations fatal to the independence ot the Free States and the liberties ol oui people. Rcsulrtit, 1 hat the constitutional rights of tlio people of Kansas have been traudently and vio lently taken from them. Their territory has been invaded by an armed force; spurious ami* pretended legislative, judicial and executive officei s have been set over their, by whose usur ped authority, sustained by the military power of the Federal Government, tyrannical aid un constitutional laws liave been enacted and en-' forced; the right ot the people to kei p and bear arms has been infringed; test oaths of an extraordinary and entaugiing nature have been imposed as a condition of exercising the right of suffrage and holding t.fiiee; the right of an accused person to a speedy and publi- trial by an impartial jury ha.- la-en denied; cruel and unusual punishments have been inflcted upon the iunocent, while murders, robberies and ar sons have been instigated and encouraged, and the offenders have been allowed to go unpun ished; the right of the people to he secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches ami seizures, has been violated; they have been deprived of life, lib erty and property, without due process of law; the freedom of speech and of the press has been abridged; the right to choose their repre sentatives lias been made of no effect: That all these things have been done with the know ledge, sanction and procurement of the Fed eral Government, in violation ot the plainest mandates of (he Constitution; That the usur pation by which a spurious Legislature was im posed up<>u Kansas, and its people subjected to a coda of laws uup irallelcd tor cruelty in the history of civilized nations, is stiil in full three, ami the people are denied the right peacefully to ass .-in '-le and petition fur a redress of griev ances; the National Executive has permitted two Governors of his appointment to be driv en from the Territory under tear of assassina tion, and lias not dared ro exert its power tor their protection against the lawless minions of Slave:y .while jndici il monsters and men whose bauds are red w'th iunocent blood, are retained in office, to carry o. ( the work of subjecting free territory to the cause of Slavery. Kansas has been denied admission under a free consti tution, and fraudulent means are trow in pro gress to secure its admission as a Slave State at the next session ot Congress. Against this stupendous wrong, we protest, in ibe name of. God and ucmanitt—by ail teat is glorious in our history, and by tho memory of the great and good men w ho established our liberties. Retailed, That it is a fraud upon our laws, and fraught with danger to our institutions; to admit to a full participation ih their benefits, any man who acknowledges a foreign supre-s macv, which he cannot conscientiously and without mental reservation, abjure and forev er renounce; whether that supremacy be civil or spiritual. Resolved, That the Rtupendons frauds by which our popular elections are swayed against a majority of the legally quaiiff ed voters, strikes at the foundation and life of our system of government; and unless speedily corrected, will lead to violence and anarchy; and w.< urge upon all good citizens to unite for the suppres sion of tnis evil; and we cal' upon our own Legislature to guard by effective and stringc-nt laws the purity of the ballot box . Resolved, That tho sale of the Main Line of our improvements, is demanded by every con sideration that should weigh with intclligent and hovest men. As a source of revenue, it is wholly worthless to the State, while it is notoriously used as a mean of pecnlation and . plunder, thereby inflicting "upon the State pe cuniary loss, and also irreparable injury, in the almost universal demoralization and political profligacy engendered throughout its entire extent. Resolved, That we invite the affiliation and co-operation of men of all parties, however differing with us in other respects, in supfiorl of the principles therein declared; and believ ing that the spirit ol our institutions, as well as the Constitueion of our country, guarantees liberty ot conscience ami equality of rights among citizmt, we oppose all legislation im pairing t heir security.
