DeellnatiOn of Mr. Calvin.

The last Hollidaysburg Register con-
1ains the following letter from Hon. S
CALVIN, by which it will be perceived
that he declines a denomination. lmme-
diately on lis becoming known, strong
determination was manifested by our lead
ing wings from all parts of the county,
who happened to be in town attending
court, to demonstrate againstit and letters,
nRmerously signed, were at once forwarded
10 that effect. We sincerely hope that he
will reconsider the matter, and if he can
10 so without a sacrifice Of .his best inter-
ests, yield himself to the wishes of his
constituents. From personal intercourse
with our country friends during the present
week, we are satisfied that no man in the
district would be more cheerfully and
strenuously supported, and that nine-tenths
of the locofocos would sooner see him the
representative than any other whig in it.
WAsHINGToN, July q, 1850.
Dear Sir The time is approaching when it
will become the duty of the Wings Of the l7th
District 10 select their candidate TO represent
them in the 32d Congress and | consider il
proper 10 inform them, through your valuable
Journal, that it is not my intention to be can
didate for denomination. My duty to myself
and family requires this step.
| desire to express my sincere thanks TO all
those who gave 10 me their generous support
and confidence and ! hope the gallant Wings
Of the District will be able without difficulty,
10 agree upon and elect successor better able
10 serve them. | shall consider it my duty and
pleasure to give them any aid IN my power in
promoting his election and the cause Of the
Hhig party.
Very respectfully,
Yours, &c.

<E The editor of the Union Star, who
has known Mr. Banks from childhood,
lately asserted that the locofoco candidate
for Auditor General is a gentleman pos
sessing moderate talents, and is not an
experienced accountant" On this the ed
itor Of the Mifllintown Register, who may
have seen Mr.. B. half dozen times
in his life, flies into a fit of eulogy, and
asserts that
:" Mr.. Banks is we'll known as an experienced
accountant His reputation an accountant
and his business capacity never before was
questioned by any one. Such is the confidence
had in him by the people of Mitilin county, that
he has been appointed administrator, and settled
up more estates than any other three men in
that county, and always to the entire satisfaC-
ton Of the parties. Never has he failed to
perform these duties with scrupulous and exact
honesty, which together with his promptness
and upright conduct in this line Of business, has
justly earned for him the appellaton Of the
orphans friend.'h -
We have heretofore said that we did
not believe Mr.. Banks laid claim to one
half the locofoco papers say respecting
him, and he would perhaps be thankful
were they more sparing of such fulsome
fattery. The locofoco editors may give
him as much proper praise as they choose
nay, we shall not even object to our
friends down street eulogizing him with
all the ardor bestowed on a new-found
love-but if the Register and its kindred
don't quit this soft soaping business, we
shall feel bound as friend, to advise Mr..
Banks to prosecute them for libel.

s'The farmers crop their living from their crops,
And each man shares the blessing of their shares -
What a farmer should he.

< Is 4
A farmer should be well instructed in chemes-
try generally, more particularly as applied to ag-
riculture; he should be we'll versed in mineral:
ogy, geology, botany, and in the physiology of
'seeus, paantas treea andsasinals, inclnding the
species of bimana; he should learn geometry,
mensoratlon, & he should study political econ
omy so far as to have clear conception of the
sources of wealth and prosperity. -r
In our republican Government he should be
instructed in his constitutional rights, and taught
to vindicate them by terse and condensed elo-
cution. 1t will be ahappy event for our country
when our farmers, so educated, shall have the
ascendency in our halls oflegislation, and there
