ar We keglected in our last to tender mir thanks
to the Pe01,40 of Dut,doff fur a complimentary toast
of the PeoOle's Advocate at the Celebration oldie
4th. It is dot too late, hOwever, even this week, to
do so, and We join with them in the hope that the
Advocate Will long continue to sustain its name.—
In contrast with the sabbath-like quietness which
pervaded this vicinity, we were highly gratified at
the National spirit manifested by the citizens of Dun
daff—they hre too patriotic to permit the anniversa
ry of our *lona' birth-day to pass by unnoticed.

for the virtpl annihilation of the present salutary
Tariff law. In another column we give a synopsis
of the bill, end the yeas and nays an its final passage

We canal! t too shamgly express our disapprAse
non and tret at the passsEe of this bill by the
House, whitli aims a devastating#nd Crashing blow
at our best interests.; Should it pass the Senate,
which is by jio means improbable, we would bare the
chilling prdls pect in view of a similar general stagna
tion of bashiess, and financial depression, which im-
Mediutely followed the notorious compromise act of
ran. w$ will again see thousands of our bonebt
and hard-sforking citizens thrown out 'of employ

To see the Atone of a war-worn veteran—one who

Severe Hall Storm.
We are informed that i destructive storm of hail
end wind passed over Auburn and the south part of
Irooklyn townships• on 'Friday evening last. Our
informant states that the injury- done to buildings,
crops, fruit trees, &c., ia immense. We have not
yet learned the real extent of the injury sustained,
but at this season of the Year, when grain, fruit, &c.
is tender and easily destroyed, we have serious fears.
that the fitment along the track of the storm have
suffered severely.
Hot Wssruzu.—On Thursday and Friday of last
week the atmosphere was exceedingly hot. The
mercury stood at n deg. in the shade, on Priday.—
But in this region such hot weather lasts hitt a
short time—as the bills say, " for one day only."t
At this time (Wednesday morning,) we are shiver
ing with the cold—the mercury standing at 54-40,
or threabout. •
RESIGISED.—Hon. Win. L. Yancey, Representa

and gives as a reason for so doing, a desire to devote
his time to his private and professional business.—
Mr. Cottrell, (Democrat) is already nominated to fill
the vacancy. •
Moastoss Kearney- having fail

THE AR.—We have nothing of much importance,
from o4r Army in Mexico. Since the bloody affairs
of the 4h and 9th of May. both Armies have seemed
to hold: back from effective operations. We hear
=marl of great preparations by the Mexicans to
ptoremte the war agaiinu the United States, but the
fearful rebuff' they received on the Rio Grande will
probably induce them to proceed with caution. The
Amer;can forces under Gen. Taylor have been great
ly reinforced by volunteers, and now present a bold
and formidable front fur the consideration of the
Mexicans. If they venture another collision with
the heroic fighting boys -under the heroic Taylor, we
may safely . predict more glory for the American arms,
but we will scarcely venture to predict what will he

Wetlip from the Philadelphia
„Ledger the following
extract from an article in the N. 0. Picayune, rela
ting to California and the Paeific:
" The governmont journal has srengthen
ed the impression that the war is not to be
of long duration, by its reiterated expressions
of the readiness of the President to enter up
on the immediate adjustment of all the points
at issue between the two governments. But
from whatever source this impression may
have sprung; one cannot read the Northern
papers withqut perceiving that it has been
suddenly' and extensively propagated, and
we should be even less surprised to hear of
a treaty of peace with Mexico, than we were
a few days since, at the announcement that
the Oregon controversy was put-to rest.
"Such being the case, it is not unnatural
that we Should all feel a deep concern as to
the extent of the operations of the squadron
upon the Pacific. , : The country expects,
undoubtedly, that every important port in
California isnoW iti the posession of our fleet,
nor do we believe that there is the least idea
of abandoning such poisession, until• every
cause of difference: between the two coun
tries is adjusted, and the claims of our citi
zens upon Mexicolischarged to the utmost
farthing. Nay, it would be affectation to
deny that the Territory of California is the
source to which we must look for the abili
ty of Mexico to satisfy the demands which
we make upon her. The separation of Cal
ifornia from Mend() is already tieartv coat
pletei--the centraf i government *rives no
revenue thence, Or political ivength.—
Quite the reverse * the case. When these
negotiations are entered upon between W 3 arid
Mexico, it may facilitate them if the gosses
lion -of-California_, A p r in; principal seaports,
be fans& co be already with us. The point
of honor On the part of Mesico--&r about
this she elfeets to be greatly tenacious--may be saved ; and any di ffi culty which she may

'inany dissentients from the terms of the Or

Doct. J. BLA6KMAN, Chaiiman ; Wm.
FOSTER, SECICURT TNltessrs. R. B. Lit*,
saac Post and G. Hawley, the Committee
I 'for that purpose, report the following Re.so
lutions :
Resolved; That Slavery, (1. e. that hold-
Inc , of man as property,) is a grievous in
against God, and the inalienable 'rights of
Iman, which should be at once repented of,
and forsaken.
Resolved, That it is not merely a State,
of local sin. if the District of Columbia be
National ground,—if the Constitution, and
'Acts of Congress proceed from the Ameri
can People,—if the admission of Missouri,
'Texas, and other Slave-holding Territory,
'into its Union, be National acts,—if Inter-
State Slave trade, be by Congressional suf
ferance,—and if the free States are the very
walls around the great Slave Prison; all
their physical power too, being pledged to
tthe oppressor, then is, Slavery a National
sin ; Pervading the entire Republic ; and
`laying its load of guilt upon every citizen
whose vote is not for Emancipation.
Resolved, That inasmuch as Slavery can
not be done away except by the repetil of
our National lain going to sustain it, and
by other Congressional action; and as this
can only be had through the ballot-box; no
man has a Moral right to vote for a Slavery
Presel:mt, Con,rri ssman, or other I ,, risktor.
It duty to vote with which
in utter duties will ever conflict ; and from
whose discharge none of the excuses used by

Resolved, That we charge upon the Slave
lower, that it has trampled under foot the
'onstitution of the U. S.,—it has plunged
Ws nation into a most atrocious war, by as
I 4 ocious meaus,—a war of endlessaggres
,:ion, for the unlimited establishment of

is illions of our fellow-beings, Rid', this too
said the moral light and glory oil the 19th
• ntury,—and in defiance of all our profes
sions of liberty, virtue, and equal rights'!
Resolved, That both the great pro-slavery
arties of the land deserve our reprobation;
e one for having thus plunged us into this
• ar,—and the other for lending itself to its
import, after having always denounced it as
righteoui ; upon the Infidel principle of
our country right or wrong."
Resolved, 'That we charge upon • the

ANOTHER MEXICAN PRISONER OF RANIC.--
A letter in the 'New Orleans Tropic nien
.tions the fact that another Mexican, a Lieut.
Colonel of Artillery, has delivered himself up
to an American officer in Matamoras as a
prisoner of war. General Taylor made
SOlllei inquiries into the character of the pris
oner, and discovered that he had managed
the suns of the "sand bag fort," but was
considered a drunken, worthless fellow. He
had heard that Gen. Vega Was a great lion
in the United States, and was living upon the
fat of the land, and the smiles of the ladies.
The.* bright pictures had caused his chiv
alric nd magnanimous, self-delivery as a
prisoner. Old " Rough and Ready" gave
him bis parole immediately ; the hero de
dined to receive it, as he said he would have
to fight, but his declination would not be
accepted, end he had to go. That night he
was picked up in the back part of the town

ATTEMPT TO KILL T. F. MARSHALL.-
The Louisville Courier says :—"Capt, Tho
mas F. Marshall made a very narrow es
ape with his life on Monday evening last.
Several volunteers with whom he haul a
difficulty, drew their pistols. and pointed
them fell at his breast; three pulled trig
gers; and strange as fortunate, the caps on
rill exploded without discharging the deadly
contents with which their pistols were char
ged. It is probable the heaVy rain of that
evening, to which the volunteers were ex
posed, dampened the powder and thus pre
vented an explosion. To this fact was he
indebted for his life. The offending volun
teers were promptly placed under arrest.
RIDGE Kglvv.—The Boston Advertiser
says Judge Kent will return in the steam
ship, now on its way to Boston, and thinks
he will accept the Dane Professorihip of
Law in the Harvard University, vacated by
the depose of Judge Story.
&acme. OP A Boy.—A lad, named Wm.
Sinis, hung himself on Sunday, at Canton,
near Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun says:
":There is something - singular nbOut the ,
youth's death. He was seen a short time
before he was found, in his usual temper.
iWlien found, he was suspended by the neck
by a rope almost two and a half feet long,
from the bannisters at the head of the stairs,
at the entrance to the garret, in his father's
house. His neck was broken,.showing that
he Must have ;jumped after fixing the noose
abOut his beck; the noose was fixed in - a
manner best calculatedly° effect the intended
object. Not the least singular thing about'
it was the fact, that he was found to 'have a
pair of drawers drawn over his head precise
ly after the fashion of a cap drawn over the
head of a criminal upon the gallows. What
could have induced the suicide is not cOnject
urod. His age, 15 years, almost forbids the
idea that it could have been done desitnedly,
and we must, in charity, believe that he was
trying some foolish experiment which result
' ed fatally."
PIG-PEN IN AUGUST.-!fit this season of
the year the sty should be particularly at
tended to. The health and comfori i of all
human beings who may pass by one are
concerned in the proper managment of the
contents.
Manure is of, immense importance to the
fanner, and now is the best time for increas
ing it. Hogs in the fore part of the season
make but little manure, for they are, not so
fully fed ; but we should begin to feed them
better before this month is past, that they
may be fit to butcher before the coldest
weather cemes on.
At this season, loam from the road-side
may often be procured where there is a rank
vegetable growth which may be taken up
with it. All this should be thrown into the
pen, and,the pigs will look as much neater
for this supply, as will some floors with a
qaantity of sand spread over them. .
;HARITTAIIT nv Boots Coustrir.-.--The grass
is Mostly tut, and is generally very fine and
heavy. 'some have already harvested their
wheat, which is in somewhat betterl condi

the severe attack the Young grain sustained
from the lilythe spring. The loss, how

AORICULTURE-ITS FUTURE PROSPERITY.
A Liverpool correspondent of the Louisville
Journal, after discussing the relative value
of AMerican mid Russian hemp, thus writes:
" I Must not forget to speak of a new feature
that has been given to this market the past
week, by the !appearance and sale of some
fine lots of American wool. Th 6 quality' is
highly spoken of, and there is no doubt but
't will soon he eagerly sought fox': How,
brilliant does the future agricultural career
of the United States appear ! The hill re
gion of Kentucky, Tennesse, and Virginia,
as well as the; Northern States, will be cov
ered with flocks, and wool will be added to
cotton, and hemp, and silk for the supply of
the world. Our wines too, will come here
in due time, as our fruits have already done,
to compete with those of the 'European con
tinent." .
MORE FIRE IN CANADA.-A fire occurred
at a place calied La Nouvelle, at the mouth
of the. St. Lawrence, a new settlement in
Canada, and destrayed about fifty houses,
together with about all the unfortunate set-
tiers possessed. The fire is said to have
been sawed by the clearing of new lands;
the Wind being strong, the flames communi
cated to the village and destroyed every
thing.
EcoNomy.—During the battle of the .
an officer of 'infantry, perceiving his men
were firing with great rapidity, but not with
sufficient good aim as he thought, called out
to them : " Be .careful, and pot w4te your
ammunition. Take good aim, and never
miss your man. Remember, I have given
a receipt for every one of these cartridges."
Pretty soon they , charged intb the chappa
rel; when they met the, enemy face to face.
One of the men charged upon a Mexican, and
