Friend Telegraph "A notice OF the dscov-
cry of prolific fountain of crock oil f" near
Titusville, Crawford Co.. Pa, has been quite
extensively circulated in the papers, but seems
to have been received generally with a good
deal of doubt, partly perhaps, because of the
stOrys being too big to go down readily, and
perhaps partly npon the principle that Moth
ing good can come out Of Nazareth" To-
cality where the scene is laid, being rather du-
bious. But il will be sufficient to relieve the
minds Of the readers of the Telegraph from all
apprehensions of humbug to inform them that
the scene is laid only 20 miles from Ashtabua
ITSELF and if the story is true, it is all the better
for being large. Having recently spent some
days in the vicinity, can assure the readers Of
the Telegraph Of the correctness Of the follow
ing statements:
Oil Creek, running near the place, took its
name, years ago, from the presence Of limited
quantities, rock OIL sometimes seen floating on
its surface. This was furnished principally by
a single spring. The oil issued out with the
water, in Sufficient quantities to make it prof.
table employment for one or two persons to col
lect it, The method of collecting was to spread
flannel cloths upon the surface Of the spring,
and when saturated to t0ring them into vessels,
and then separate the oil from the water by
decantation. In this way two or three gallons
per day could be collected
1t had been thought that by boring, the oil
might be found in larger quantities. Some
months ago, man-whOse name. am sorry to
have forgotten-haViDg selected and leased the
most promising location, set about the project
Of boring for oil. Que difficulty after another
retarded his operations, so that be had made
but little advancement, when he found himself
out Of means. He began to contract debts,
and had not yet reached the vein, when he found
himself totally without credit The wiseacres
began to shake their heads, and say, a told you
sO.' At length, a young merchant of some
means, confident Of the ultimate success Of the
enterprise, allowed him to draw upon him for
merchandise and provisions to pay of his hired
help. This aid, with ie " hundred dollars from
q medical student, also sanguine Of success en-
abled him to resume the work with vigor, and
in five days and hall, he struck the vein, at
the depth Of sixty five feet He began at once
to raise about fifteen barrels day Of oil and
water in nearly equal quantities. All the ap-
psrAtus necessary for separating. is large vat,
in which the liquid may be allowed to settle
when the oil readily floats to the surface, and
may be easily poured Of He has improved BIZ

The TRUE IssUE.--Do the people of Ohio
endorse the Administration of James Buch-
anan This is the grand question to be set
tied on the second Thursday of October.
Every vote cast in favor of any Democrat.
ic candidate is vote endorsing the Federal
Administration and all its odious iniquities
Every vote cast for the candidates of the
Opposition, is vote repudiating Buchanan
aud his Pro-Slavery policy. There is no
middle ground on which to Stand-no third
ticket around which any may rally. He
who votes with the Democratic party in
this contest, votes in favor of Buchananism,
of Dred Scottish, of Lecompiouism, Of
High Postage, Of Free Trade, of the Slave
Trade, and against the popular and just
policy Of Land for the Landess." On the
Uanner OF the opposition il inscribed Pro
lection to American Industry to Free
White Labor to Freedom in the Terrific
ries Of the Union Cheap Postage Land
for the LandlesS and determined hostility
to FllliLustering, Africa Piracy, and all th,
other infamous schemes Of the Southern
Slave Propaganda. The true freeman and
honest patriot need not be at loss to de
ternine on which side TO cast his ballot
If he endorses the dogmas of the Fedora
Administration he will vote the Democrat
ic ticket if be repudiates the infamies per
petrated in the name of Democracy" b,
will vote for the Opposition candidates
Two paths lay right before every voter
One is the Administration broad road u
National ruin and dishonOr the other is
the straight and narrow way to Naliona
honor and prosperity. The result will show
how faithfully men shall have discharged
their duty in the present crisis.

AN ITEM FOR PENNSYLVANIA VoTERs.-
The telegraph announced on Monday last
the departure from the port of New York
on the previous Sa urdny, of two steam
packets, freighted with over two millions
and half Of gold-a tribute from our
people to the artiZans and capitalists Of
Europe. which speaks volumes in cOndem-
nation of the short-sighted and runnuS
tariff policy inaugurated and maintained
by the mis-called Democratic party. With
nnbOunded resources as a nation, and I'M
limited skill as IA people, we TINS impOver-
ish ourselves and enrich foreigners stran-
gers. Aud for these enormous and ~ nat
ural sacrifices we receive no relnrn, for al
though the flow of specie from our shores
are unprecedented there never was a peri
cd in which there has been comparatively
so limited demand for breadstuifs as at the
present time. Let Pennsylvania, through
the votes of her betrayed working men,
speak out in condemnation Of this infamous
system, on Tuesday week IL is only
through the BALLOT BOX that the authors
Of iniquity eau be reached. Let the great
iron State, whose mines, teeming with the
pIVSluuS piVj arc IeuuClVu uup' OuuCliF6 oJ
foreign competition, encouraged by our
own government, proclaim in thunder tones
her condemnation of the great authors of
the evils from which she suffers on every
hand ! And let the fact be not forgotten
that partial triumph of the adminislra-
tion party, on the second Tuesday of Octn-
ber, brought about by small vote, would
be virtual surrender on the part of our
State of its vital interests, to the slave
holding and cotton interests Of the South
PittsbHTg Gazette.

A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial draws
the following not very hattsriug picture Of Mr.
Douglas :
douglas belongs, by temperament and con-
stitution, to the race Of bullies. His proper le-
gitimate sphere, is the bur-room, or the prize
ring. He is jnst the kind Of man to be the ia
vorite of back-egs and the ID u of botte.hold-
ers. His endowments of limb and muscle, his
compact and burly solidty of form, aud enor-
nous fstic strength, would have made him .fa-
ciIe priHceps among the Sullivans, the Norris
seys aud the Henans. But the horoscope oi
his fortunes was differently cast and having set.
tied early in life, in a backwoods country, he
was Gated TO become politician. III CON-
munity Of little intellectual or moral culture,
his rise was rapid, for his powers were just Of
the compass which fitted him to shine, where a
man of finer nature would have failed. He
possessed moderate intellectual talents an iron
will untiring energy, aud unbounded ambition.
He rose at length, through various gradations
to be a senator Of the United States, aud with
greedy eyes devouring the Presidency from aiar,
he has shaped every scheme, and strained every
nerve to win it. The powers Of
Douglas as pubic orator are limited to plain
and monotonous repetition Of one idea, and o
bovine power of believing it to the largest au-
dience. He is destitute alike of variety, com
pass, humor pathos and eloquence. He exhb-
its not a solitary CLEAN of genius, not a ray Of
wit, nor a spark Of imagination The only ele-
ment OF eloquence he possesses is the por et
preferred nihH of Virgil"

THE FAsrNEss OF THE AGE.-Judge Ranny
probably intending TO come it over the people
of the Reserve by praising the brightness ol
their children, said in one of his speeches -
There is not a boy fifteen years old, with
in ten miles of O0erin, who is not compe-
tent to decide upon the unconstitutionality
of the Fugitive slave law.
This, says the Journal, shows how much fast.
er Young America is than the Judge was, for
he says that owing TO his want Of opportunity
to inform himself on public affairs, he had not
got his eyes open in 1850, aud it is only within
the last three months that he has been able to
see clearly.

little finessing has been going on in the n. Y ork
Episcopal convention for the remission Of the
sentence which has hung over that gentleman
for the last Is years. The charges it will be
recollected, brought against him we're for licen-
tiousDess. His repentance, and confession, upon
which the petition was based, is funny affair,
and only amounts to extending gracious par
don to those who were instrumental in passing
the sentence. The condition of the remission
is that be would resign Episcopal functions to
the provisional bishop, in such manner as they
may agree upon between themselves, The re-
solution passed 222 to 65.
The subject of the re-opening of the Afri-
can Slave Trade was brought before the conven.

who introduced very mild resolution, merely
asking the convention, in view of the opening
Of the Slave Trade, and of the advocacy Of it's
