llltUUUlUt,

Governor Wright's Ajrricultural Address. Tie following extracts from an Addres delivered at Livonia Ind., before the District Agricultural Society by Got. Wright, will be found highly able and interesting: "I hail among the favorable signs of the times these very assemblages these collections of the people all over the land this mingling together of all classes of our people, for the purpose of improving their condition at home thus interchanging views and opinions, and making experiments, trials, and tests upon the various branches of industry. Let not the charge b? laid at our doors that was brought aq-ainst the ancient Romans, which was, that they made a country desolate, and called that a peace. May it be ours to boast that we found a w ilderness and converted it into fertile fields; atd that, by our policy, we have covereJ over this continent with a prosperous, happy, and intelligent people actively engaged in the pursuits of life. To accomplish this we ihould remember that it behoves us to do all within our power to give beauty and dignity to the pursuits of those who toil, and thus to make labor attractive. At the base of the prosperity ot any people lies this great principle make labor fathionalle at home. Malte it an essential part of the primary education of every youth of the land; and above all, bring, by every m-ans within your reach, the undivided and united action, the whole strength, talenti, energy, atTedions, motives, and power of the people to bear upon homo policy. W have ben looking in the wrong direction for the sources of individual, township, county, State, and even national prosperity. Take your 6tand at the capital of the national government; see for yourself the growing interest which i manifested in the management of national . affairs; the great expenditures made for the improvemertof public buildings, the increase of offices and officer, and the vrst ire -eas.e of general and speciGc appropriation of the public money; vijew the crowds that are pressing for executive favors, great and small, and then turn to the States of this Union. What a contrastl If you were a stran- . . . 1 A - ger lo our institutions, ana were vo form your opinion from the interest that is taken in the national Govern ment, and the almost utter neglect of the State governments, you would suppose that our fathers designed that the legislation, favors, and strcngtn oi the republic which they founded sho'd ..eaa .. do centered in me capital at v asiungton. The evidences of the interest mapicstcd by politicians, presses, and pwopie, in national affairs, over those of State, county, or township, aro before us ererjr day. It is a rare sight to witness IhO poo pie holding primary rncetinj to diecus! tho merits of tho nchool law tho provisions of tho code that nflfects iroperty, character, or lire or the avr that ROYcrns ami controls your etat at the time of your death. These are minor conaidcrationa in comparison with tho great questions as to who a hall 61! the vacant ant in tho cabinet nt Washington, ordischarge the duties of collector At somo port of entry on the Atlantic. Publio meet ings iro held all over tho country ap proving or disapproving of tho npE ointment of this or tint man to oiiice; ut Courts, Congress, Legislatures, 1 and Governors may do acts that seriously aflcct the peace, hanineas, and prosperity of the people, and yet such acts do not seem to make even n rippie, upon the surface of publio opinion. The trutn is, wo must taiic more, ork more, act more, aift? think more on questions relating to home and home policy. We have at home many subjects of vast interest that must not be neglected, and this is a proper and legilimats oceaaion to call your attention to some of them. The wealth of an agricultural State like ours is not found alo.'i in rich and produotivo lands. We have other elements. Our mineral wealth and our manufacturing wealth, are parts of the great resources öftre btate, and no community has discharged the duties which it owes ta itself until these great elements of wealth have been develop ed and rendered available under the combined action of the capital and l.v Dor or tne country. Indiana this day is not selling two millions of bushels of coal per annum. She should sell twenty mill: vis. Wo can furnish at the Dalize ti s govern ment vessel and tho steamers of the world with coal, at a cost of three dollars a ton fur carriage. Tho rock and marble are all around us, suitable to build tho Custora-houso at New Orleans; and if these materials wcro u:cd for that purpose, thousands of dollars would be saved tD the treasury or tho nation. Your pig-iron is taken from Vermillion and Giccno couuties, manufactured ubrop.t end brought back to you, and sold at b!gh prices. The very stones, now almost in sight of us, are taken from tho rich quarries of Orange and Martin, polished by eastern ltibor, and then re unru and sold to you as Turkish oil stoics. Walnut knots, takan from our fornsts, are, by the labor of others, polMicd and used in makir-; the most valuablo furniture. Tue timber upc t our hills and in our valleys affords superior varie ties for the building of steamers for rivers or ace una. Indiana has water power equal to that of tho Connccti cut or the Merrimac, thongh scarcely known beyond the sound of the fallaz waters. Yet. thus far in our his VrDry, no euort nas succeeded in

laying fairly before thecdpital and la

bor of the wotld these great element of our wealth; and at this day less is known abroad of the resources of Indiana then those of any other State of the confederacy. If your representatives at Indianapolis will not send out competent and scientific men to explore our hills and valleys, and lay bare the now concealed wealth, consisting of iron, coal, salt, rock, &c, you must imitate the example of the good people of Evansville, who, I am informed, some time since, sent out at their own expense the practical geok5ist, David D. Own, on a visit to Green county to examine the rich iron mines of that county. - The Old World manufactured for the New for a hundred years. New England hi.s manufactured for nearly half a century. A change must take place. We must if we pursue our true interest, engago in manufacturing articles, not only for home use, but for exportation. Indiana is one of the central States of (he Union, with advantages equal, if not superior to those of her sister States. She is in the very heart of what is destined to bo a great agricultural and manufacturing region a region known as the valley of the Mis sissippi the population of which, if they faithfully pursue a true home policy, will soon be able not only to feed, but also to clothe. Old as well as New England. But turn in another direction. Look at our township, County, and State governments, and you will find that they are overshadowed and almost lost sight of in the unceasing contests growing out of national subjects. We shall never arrive at that form of govelement so m jc!i desired by our fathers, rni.il these questions r.t home are made the subjects of engrossing interest. By the form and structure of our government, the little local communi ties at home, from school districts to townships, counties, and state, are all made, as it were, part and parcel of the machinery that moves and regu lates the action of our republic. Visit that township, district, city, or county where the citizens are alive to its internal management, and you will find a people prepared to makn a step forward in any movement that is made to better the condition of society. nave you not no.iced in our own State, thrt in counties where there are even a few enterprising active men, who take an interest in organizing schools and in promoting other local interests, those counties are always the foremost in every movement that elevates tho character of the people? Andyouhaveno doubt noticed the reverse that in those counties where the engrossing subjects of agitation uro those connected with the national policy, and where State policy is lost Bight of, the people wo invariably the last to follow in any such work. It is idlo to expect any poplo to make Any permanent advances in the way of improvement whcio there is An cn tiro neglect of their local and home pol icy. I call it n local and horao .polier. I mean by thin, that theno subjects enter into and form tho very heart, lifo und strenulii of the body politic. In a government likouura, acatteied over such an extent of temtory, em bracing such a variety of interests. combining eveiy kind of character and people, nnd with such a growing diversity of materia!), how is it possible that we can preserve our inatitutions if there shall continuo to be, ns there ha been, a ruinous neglect of what I denominate tho local und homo poli cy. Can you expct tho heart of this rc fiublio to bo free from corruption and raud when the little streams and riv ulets that nourish that heart, aro neg lected and become impure? The fountain herd nnd spring of this na lion tho people of tho eevej&l States, in their primary orgrnizations, in their local policy, their laws, customs, and manner-. are tho soirees iom which the nat'onal government must derive, politically, whnjver of virtuo, or wis dorn, er strength it may possess. When wo shall live up to our priv ileges aa members of our happy form of Stato government, and discharge our whole duty in the small circle m which wo move; when we shall adapt our laws and institutions, which affect us every in all the relations of life, and tu nil our L'tcrcourso with each other, so as to make each man fcl that up on A. in rests a portion of the responsi bilitics of lue; when we snail corao up to that full standurd of btate pride, Stato ambition, nnd Stato rghts, that our forefathers designed we should occupy, it will make but little difference what three hundred men at Wash ington do, or whether this or that act of Congress shall pass.

The Collision between Strinfellow and Governor Heeder. A tVctw Version of the Affair. Kansas Citt, Mo., June 28, '55. The country is again thrown into a state of intense excitement, by the attempted perpetration of an outracre upon the person of Gov. Reeder, at his quarters at bhawnee Mission, about 9 miles from this place. The facts, as I am able to give them, are undoubtedy reliable. It appears that the Gov ernor was sitting alone in his office, ins Secretary, Mr. Lowrey beinz sick and confined to his room at the time, when the well-known, Stiingfellow entered. He was courteously'received, and after a general prcliiminary conversation, in which he dilated upon the influence and control he would have over the present legislature, and the great eicttement existing in Missouri against Gov. Heeder, he made two propositions to the Governor one be ing that tue üovernor should sanction a bill that6houldJbe passed to punish the tampering with slaves in the territory, or the uttering of abolition sentiments, and the other that he rccouuend in his message that the egislature adjourn to Shawnee Mis sion, on the border of Missouri. The Governor replied that, although in favt. of a f.ee btate, ue was willing and thought proper thai temporary proction be given to 6lave property m the temtory, and the . question be properly decided; but that he could not promise to sanction a bill he had never seen, and much less could he agree to a bill making the penalty for minor offencees, death, as he had eard proposed, and that he would rot officially recommend the legislature to aajourn to snawnce Mission. At this the üereral became much excited. Pid endeavored to get up a quarrel upon the words "border ruffians," reported to have been used by Gov. Reeder. Ho was told that ' the use of such language had been disavowed, and as early as possible. He then desired to know if Gov. Reeder had represented Kansas as being conquered and subjugated by the citizens of Missouri; to which the Governor replied that ho' had. Stridgfellow then inquired further, if the üovernor had intended to charge him with any unlawful or dishonorable act; to which the Governor replied, that he believed and had said, that Gen. Stringfellow was mainly instrumental in creating the excitement in Missouri which had produced the present state of things; swer toaanother question by low, said that he cons'dercd such a course of conduct ns unlawful and highly dishonorable. By this time tho excitement of Stringfellow becamo very tfrcat, so much ns to Attract several persons standing in front of tho door; and he. on tho epot, gave the Oavornor a ver bal challenge, which was immediately leclincd, tho (ioverno.' bAVinL' that ho waa no subscriber to tho duelling code. At this time tho Governor was care lessly sitting with his chair balanced upon the two hind legs. Stringfellow advanced, nnd by putting his hnnd upon hia khoulder, pushed him over, at tho samo time falling upon him, and deeply scratching him in tho cheek ith iiia naila. The Governor kicked him off And ro.o to feel, both gentlemen drawing their pistol, when String follow was seized by Attorney-General Isaacs and Mr. H'aldcrman, And the Governor dropped the muzzle of his weapon, saying 'that ho scorned to attack a man who was prevented from defending himself. By tho inter ference of the two gentleman, the matter was'c ilmed down, nnd Stringfellow left. To vourselves and vour re ail ore I leave all commen o i this must urpareaa. a alleled outrage, merely stating, further, that Stringfellow, who thus be gins by attempting to intimidate the Governor of Kansas Territory, and, failing in that, personally assaults him, is a resident of Weston, Missou ri, and makes no pretence of living in the Territory. It is generally believ ed that the Missourians have discovered that they will bo unable to man age two-thirds of tho Legislature, and thun'avoid the Governor'a veto; and, thcreiore, the conductor their acknowledged leader. During the lata affair tho Governor had twfce a good opportunity to bhoot Strinhfellow, and the friends of order, and his friends. Are very thankful that ho refrained, for had any injury, even tho slightest, occurred to Stringfellow, in two hours a crowd would have been raided on tho border, against which, resistance wo'd havo been uselcsx, and no ono can imagine' what could havo been tho ultimate consequence. Tho correspondent of the N. Y. Eve ning Post corroborates the above. Ho writes: The Governor was preparing on the SGthto leave for Pawnee, when Stringfellow rodo up, alighted and entered tho office, sat down and commenced a general conversation. It became shortly apparent, however, that hit purpose was no other than to seek a quarel, it being necessary in tome way to disable or remove tho Governor, all attempts to cajole him or to frighten him and prevent hia return, having failed. Mr. Stringfellow, as a basis of compromise, proposed to tho Governor, that ho should agree to to sanction any and all laws that should b'o passsed punishing tho abduction or attempted abduction of negroes, and tho propagation of abolitionism. This Üovernor Heeder refused, at the same time saying that his refusal was not in consequence of any obice lion to the principle of such an enactraent; on tho contrary, that tho owners

of slaves had an undoubted right to (

be protected, and should always have his assistance as Governor, but that he could not promise to sign any bill of whose form and provisions he knew 1 nothing. Stringullow then demanded that he officially recommend the legislature to adjourn from Pawnee, when they should convene. Gov. Reeder declined to make auy such promise, especially to a man who did not pretend to live in the Territory. Failing thus, Stringfellow resorted to low, violent, personal abuse, the Governor meantime whom every day's experience proves to be a man of great uerve, and deliberately brave remaining cool and calm. Among other causes oi complaint, Stiingfellow charged Gov. Reeder with having accused bim of dishonorable conduct. This the Governor denied, but said he would now charge him with being, in his opinion, at the head of all this excitement, which was both unlawful and dishonorable. Upon this, Stringfellow challenged the Governor to go out and fight which was respectfully declined as it was not "exactly in his way;" whereupon Stringfellow arose, and pushed the Governor over in his chair, and a scuffle ensued, in which the Governor was slightly scratched. He succeeded, however, in casting his adversary off. By this time the affair began to be serious, both gentleman having rose and drawn their pistols, when, oppormav .a tuneiy, Air. Isaacs and another gentleman seized Stringfellow just as the Governor.was about pulling trigger on him, when the Governor laid downhis weapon, as his antagonist was not in a condition to defend himself. Several persons then in'.eifered, and took Stringfellow away. This morning he again went over to the Mission, but the Governor and his party had left for Shawnee. There is a deliberate design apparent all through this disgraceful affair first, to induce, if possible, the Governor to aid .them in doing certain things which they fear they may not be able to do ovtr his head, and fnot accomplishing that, to raise a fight, which would end in putting him out of the way, for, had a fight ensued, and Stringfellow been hurt, the next day would have seen a mob pouring toward the Mission, bent on the annihilation of the Governor, and he has a few trustworthy friends around him, this would not have been accomplished witho Jt a desperate strusrcle and se rious loss of life. In view of this, Governor's coolness, prudence foresight are as praiseworthy as the and his courage. He Left a Very Large Property. This is the closing sentence of a recent obituary, and it suggests some reflections: What a pity ho was obliged to leave ill He had taken great delight in accumulating it. As he added field Jto field, farm to faim, he had looked with prido upon his extended domain, conscioos that he was the larcrcst landholder in his town. His cattle, if not wandering upon a thou sand hills, ranged over more than that number of ncres of rich pasturage. btocks, notes, bo nis, mortgages, crowded hia safe. And it was all the fruit of his Industry, energy rnd good judgement. Tho rust of tho usurer the canker of extortion had not scar red any of his gold. It was .well and M a m m a aa. aa a fairly earned, and he loved it all the more bvcauso it was so. It grieved him to leave this largo property, to depart from the world as poor as he came into it, and to enter tho other world utterly destitute of tho wealth ho so much loved in this. But he had to leave it, every cent of it. . He might have taken it with him. Rather let us say, he might have sent it forward in advance of him. As'the capitalist, whocontcmplates moving to J : . i a lorcign country, convene nis property into drafts, and remits from timo to time to the land of hia future residence so ho miirht have mado remittances to that undiscovered country, so on his arrival there, he would find abundant treasures laid up in heaven for him.

If it was sad for him to' leave that large property, how much sadder that ho sent none of it beforo himl Itismuchmoro pleasant to go to, thaa to have a large property. The man who, poor in this world's goods, but rch in faith, closes his eyea upon this life, goes to take possesion of a large property. He owrcd rot a foot of land on earth; but for him, "sweet fields, beyond the flood, stand dressed in living green." His food here wa coarse, perhaps scanty; but there, he will eat freely from the tree of lifo which yields twelve manner of fruits. His garments hcio were plain and poor; but there he shall be clothed in white robes, washed tnd made white in tho blood of the Lamb. Hia associates hero, with those who are despis ed and rejected of men; but there his companions will be an innumerable company of angels and the general as sembly and Church of tho first-born. Who would rather not go to a large property than to leaue it? Vermont Chronicle. ZarThere is not a theatre whole State of Texas. in tho

Mr. Webster and New Slave States.

The following extract from a speech, made by Mr. Webster, in Niblo's Garden, New York, in 1833, has a pertinent significance at the present time. How well he could 'put the English language together: I frankly avow my entire unwilling ness to do anything which shall ex tend the slavery of the African race on this continent, or add other slaveholding States to the Union. When I say that I regard slavery in itself as a great moral, social and political evil, I only use language which has been adopted by distinguished men, hemselves citizens of slave holding States. I shall do nothing, therefore, to favor or encourage its further extension. We have slavery already among us. The Constitution found it among us; it recognized it, and gave it solemn guarantees. To the full ex tent of these guarantees we are bound in honor, justice' and the Constitution. All the stipulations contained in the Cou'U utioa, in favor of the slave holding States which are already in the Union, ought to be fulfilled, so far as depends oa me, shall be fulfilled, in the fulness of their spirit, and to the exactness of their letter. Slavery, as it exhts in the States, is beyond the reach of Congress. It is a concern of the States themselves; they have neve submitted it to Congress, cad Congress has uo rightful por er over it. I shall coucjr, thrrc.o e, in no act, no measure, no menace, no indication of purpose, which shall interfere or th. eaten to. interfere, with the ex elusive authority of the several States over the subject of slavery, as it exists within their respective limits. All this appears to me to be inatter of piain and imperative amy. But when we come to speak of ad e . a m.. .a a. muting new btates, tre subject assumes an entirely different aspect. Our rights and our duties aro then both different. The free States, and all the States, are then at liberty to aecept or to re ject. When it is proposed to bring new members into this political part nership, the old members have a right to say on what terms such new part ners are to come in, and what they are to bring along with them. In mv opinion, the peoplj of the United States will not consent to bring a new, vastly exteisito and slave-holding country, large enough for half a doz a. . en states, into lue union, in my opinion, they ought not to consent to it. Indeed, I am altogether at a loss to conceive what possible benefit any part of this country can expect to de rive from such annexation. All ben e fit to any part is at least doubtful and uncertain; tho objects obvious, plain, and strong. On the general question of slavery, a great portion of the community is already strougly excited. Tho subject has not only attracted attention, as a question of politics, but it has struck a far deeper toned cord. It has arrested tho rcli gioua feeling of the country; it has taken stronghold on tho consciences of men. Ho is a rash man, indeed, and little conversant with human nature, aud especially has ho a very erroneous estimate of the character of the people of thia country, who auppoaea that A ff cling of this kind is to be trifled with br despised. It will assuredly cause itself to bo respected. It may bo reasoned wvith. it may bo made willing, I believe it is entirely willing, to fulfil ail existing engagements, and all existing dutic, to uphold and dofend the Constitution, aa it is eatahluhed, with whatever regrets about somo provisions which it does actually contain. But to coerce it into silence to endeavor to restrain its free expression. t seek to compress aud confine it, warm as it is, and moro heated as such endeavors would inevitably ren der it should all this be attempted, I know nothing, even in the constitution, or in the Union itself, which would not be endangered by the explosion which might follow." A Rich Joke. A gentleman played off a rich joke on his better half the other day. Being somewhat of an epicure, he took it into his head that he should like to have a first rate dinner. So he. r ddressed her a note politely informing her that a gentleman of her acqua'ntancc, an uld aud true friend, would dine with her that day. As soon as she ieeclved it, all hands went to work to get everything in order. Precisely at 12 o'clock she was prepared to receive her guest. The house was as clean as a new pin, a sumptuous dinner was on the table, and she was arrayed in her beat attire. & gentle knock waa heard, and she started with palpitating heart to the door. She thought it must be an old friend perhaps a brotherfrom the place whence they once moved. On opening the door she found her husband with a smiling countenance. "Why, my dear," says she, li an anxious tone, 'where is the gentleman of whom you spoke in your note?' Why replied her husband complacently, "here he is 'You said a gentleman of my acquaintance, an old and true friend would dine with us to-day.' 4 Well,' said he, am I not a gentleman of your acquaintance, an old and true friend?' 'Ohl' she cried distressingly, 'is there nobody but you?' 'No.' 'Well, I declare this is too bad said his wifo in angry tone. Tho husband laughed immoderately his better half said she felt like giv- - st a e m " - . mg mm änongue lashing but finally they sat down cosily together, and for once had a good dinner without having company.

On one occasion he spoke nearly in tho following words: 'Slavery cannot live long in the United States. It will have run it race by the end of the next one hundred and fifty or two hundred years. Slave labor is too expensive to last long. In a populous communnity it mast ever be disastrous, not only in its bearings on their pecuniary interests, but also in many other respects. Because in such a state of society free labor is far the cheapest, and will consequently be preferred. According to an elcrnal law of Heaven, in the long run the most expensive and unpropiuous forms of labor must be everywhere superseded by the least costly and most efficient" X37"A New Haven paper remarks that, in that city, the medical college is ou the road to the Cemetery, the divinity college on the road to the Poor House, and the law school on the road to the jail.

What is it but the clothing and furniture of many a poor family in Lancashire or Yorkshire: medical attendance to many a sick wife: the school pence of three or four little children; hopeless toil to the father of the family, . penury through life, a cheerless old age; and, if I may quote the language of the poet of humble life, last of aU "the little bclljlollcd hastily for the paupers funeral."
