Lord Shnftsbury recently, slated.in a public meeting in London, that from personal observa tion he had ascertained that of the adult male criminals of that city, nearly aii had fallen in a course of crime between tho ages of eight and sixteen years, and that if a young man lived an honest life up to the age of twenty, there were forty nine chances in favor, and only on, against him, ;is to an honorable life thereafter. Teach ers of the voting, litis is a feet worthy of your special notice and careful attention. Under your direct caro the children of the land spend a great po: .ion of those eight ycafs, from eight to e' uocn. Tho respdnsibility fa a fearful one. You h.ve absolute eontrrd over them for six hours each day end unless you wisely and care fully exercise that, control utiles* you an idaour ,ly Watch their conduct, t iey will go astray end their erring will bo charged to your negligence. It will ire ascribed to vour remissness, your neg lect. Hence wc are compelled to say, that the true source of n largo pere mt-oge of the crime of cur country lii right at :!io door of the teach ers cf our lend. We present it ft, you and leave it to he thought of, in wisdom. To faithfully attend to the daily recitations, to -re that each pupil is in his"proper place n.i.i that he do - his wo-k pronq -!y and correctly, is but a small portion o"you work. Your pupils require more ihc.i more rental discipline. You must a""pl to their niorrtl* aisb. It is'your duty to warn them against all vice. Youth is the seed time of life, and the seed you sow in the school room must, it will yield a harvest in rip.-r venrs. It is not enough tbatvou ttfk'cf them to deport themselves property at school, but impress upon them the importsnce of gotid departmont every where. Warn them against the Hood* of vice thai pottr out from the doors of must of otir public hors", from the low corife-'ionary, the drinkb.g r.aloon, t'\ - b.tl! room- Teach them to fhur. the eomnnriy of those whoso ways lead down to tlie portals of fMicial, physical ,iud mor el ruin. Awake in them a high sense of b-nor, a love for the iiw'tfntion of the Sa' hnth, an ad miration for ail that is g—.at and noble, a rever ence for religion. Ifet rniber, that to flit tiie sou! t itii n no'-lo sentiment it liettcr than to teach a truth of science. From eight to sixteen! In these few yr-nr" are the destinies of so large >i proportion of children fix-d. Let every teacher vow : "I will work faithfully to fix the destiny of my pupils aright. UNION Tp. The Dead-Look in tho State Seirh- LETTER FROft EX-GOV. PACKER. Wir.u'Mti'Oirr, PA., Jan. 13, 18(14. HON. WM. iiorKiN?— Deny Sir: If in these tcriiblo tinier the community could be surprised nt any thing which . an lutppen, tlicy w>' 1 as suredly bo astounded with tl: 1 bol I nnd revolu tirnary attempt, now being nisds by tli" party in power, to overrido the cnstituliou, cnu to usurp the powers of our S'.ate b'tniteo. Nothing can be plain; r than tho constitution si r;qu ; semcnt that the "Go rnl Assembly L'l 'I moot on lit) riwf Tuesday of .IV.nuaiT, "> every yes ." nnd that tarn "each H use shall choose its Speaker, and other officer =■." *> T <>t only is the .-.-mate authorized and directed to choose if& Speaker, and tho House of tti -rc-gcn. tntjvbs to c''oo.e its Speaker, but . ,-k Louse, (that is, nc.y House.) as it is constituted when the Geiicral Asrcmbiy meets, slrnl! chaoie its Speaker and other offices. This has br,n to ■ construction 01 those sections of the Constitu tion which has obtained without interruption, and without question from liny quarter, from the adoption of the constitution, in 17DO, until 1 the meeting of the General Assembly, in 1864. I The Speaker of a former "House" (as er.ch ; branch of the Legislature i denominated,) only i presides until tho credentials of a new "House" j are laid before him. Then ho must retire. Hir duties havo been performed, and his powers are ended. This is not only according to tho con stitution, but it is in strict conformity with tho oxporience of the paßt. John Tod, afterwards an eminent Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and one j of tho first lav. ycrs in the forje, so icad the 1 constitution, when, at the meeting of the Gen eral Jissemoly, in December, 1815, lie took his scat on tho lioor of the Senate, and was rc-c!ec ted to tho chair which ho had just vacated— rle was tho Speaker during tho entire session of 1814-15, ami held ovor, nnd yet ho did not dtuiufi of holding on to tho chair, when the new Senato met, in the session of 1815-10. The only instance in which a Speaker can hold oyer, is "when the Speaker shall exercise the office of Governor," and (Tint ease is spe cially provided for by the constitution. Recog nizing the right -if each House, at tho meeting of tho General Assembly, to elect lis own Speak er, tho constitution qualifies that right, and re trains it, "when the Speaker of the Senate shall exercise Ait ofiico of Governor," and provides for the election of a Sp',skr pro tmpo", o:il>p en such occasion? Why Ho this, if the Spe er, by virtue o." hi? -iinc;, continued, lit 1 is dis cretion, to be Speaker af'nr the meeting of the new Soitato? I* was foreseen that unit-** such contingency were provide I for, a vacancy wo"' 1 happen, an-1 llto new Foliate, by electing a now Speaker, weld elect a new Governor. Tbo e lection Tiust be Loid: b-it tta now Speaker, says 'ie constilttion, l ali Lc Speaker ))■"> temjon merely. Ino present nominal Speaker i? a goto lawyer, and !te Jjnov.?, that according to alftk? "I'.ita of construction, this special exception nuvirti, in rchtruiat of toe cieeti'.ti of Sj. ekee, cv-cluaLs-ail other exception?, and make? it ob ligatory on och new Senate, when tire Genera! A "*lllOl7 meets, to "choose its Speaker an 1 o' icerp." Thus the frauiow of the con stitution themselves, gave it the construction which it litis oolai led f'*om that day to this. What right has the ic'iring Speaker to know that the thirty-two Senators present could not lie trusted to organize the Senaief And how cn.. it change liis position if ho did know it? Thirty-two Senators fotm a very full Seriate.— Nine-tenths of the business'of that body is ti ane ac'.ect by a lis? number. I,'he be the proper Spaiiker of the Sen. >. then there is no vacan cy, and c-u be no election. Is the present mni iiivi 'paaker willing to take that gtonnd? Will he presume to say that cacl. House, at tho meet ing of the General Assembly in 1 Sol, shall aot_ caoosc "is -n Speaker! Nothing is surer than that the Sena,e cannot tliqose a Spcakur while there is a legitimate Sneaker in the chair. If he decide that bis power* and his du'ios contin ue, then lie decides that there shall be no elec tion. This, in toy opinion, is a revolut onary, and Hag. ant usuijiauoii of power, not justified by the practice of tho past, norsuiictionrnd by the constitution, but in manifest derogation of both. Jt is needle i for me to say to you, after what I have written, that I heartily approve the coov-a pursued Ly I'.toso members of the Sen ate, vi 'no Bland by tlic.i** constitutional rights.— To do other vise, would be to surrender your inandood.

Mr. SMITH, of OH-'Mer, MOVED TO amend tiio resolution by s'riking out all after the word 'city," supporting hia propositi nn by some re in irks, durtn,: tip course of which he used the following language: • "Now, Jet us provide for these men; but, sir, i ho] 1 that we shall not make tlie fact of providing for the soldi'; ., on -occasion to cart a'perrdons which a v o unfouncad. Why siiould we Fjirrsd abroad throughout the land nnd 'ho w-.ld, this kind of reproach upon the State of Penury lvanin t—because tlint is what it is. It if wore true, iet us cover it up." Mr. Mi.yr.KS, of Jtedford, said: Mr. Sri..vic- F.tt, I disagree, m toto, with rny venerable friend fiom Clwlcr. 1 linvo 110 belief in this business ,f "covering up" the iniquities of tho e. who aro railed the constituted authorities of the State of Pennsylvania. The pica, that if we reveal these iniquities to tho puidiocye, wo oast reproach noon the Commonwealth, is wilhout fo'.ndation intact." i have yet to learn, in tlio study of political economy, or of our form of government, that tiro Executive authorities (who have in their cbi'sc the matter to which this resolution re fers) are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Hence J cannot see how the adoption of this resolution would operate to "east aspersions" upon the State. II the Executive authorities, r/ho are the agents of tho people, do wrong, it is our bounden, our sworn duty to expose them, ana to cof rsct Iho evil. We >,ro the. sentinels of the people, placed here to watch the conduct iof their Executive agents, and wo cannot, dara not, shirk the duties which pertain to our office. Now, the question is, whother any evil exists in connection with tho subject mattor of tho resolution under consideration. If there does, it is necessary that it should at once be exposed and corrected. If there does not, it will be em inently just and proper that the Executive au thorities be publicly exculpated, * and that all suspicion of malfeasance in office on thoir part be removed from the public mind. Sir, I was spoken to, last'night, by several officers of the 35th Pennsylvania volunteers— the regiment commanded by Co!. DICK WHITS, WffOf.E NUMBER, 3005 VOL. 7, NO 28. ia body of troops distinguished for their gnllan ! try, and in which there are three companies from pi,• own county-—in regard to tho condition of Catnp Cur'in and the manner in which they were treated on their arri".°! in-this city. I was asked by them whether it was not p-nsihle that v.*3 could have accommodations provided for tho reception of returning soldiers; and was requested to introduce, i.i this i louw, at eola tion somewhat in the nature of that offered by the gentleman from Montgomery, ' Whilst Ido not desire to "cast any asper sions,' or e-cu reflections, upon the constituted authorities of the Slato of Pennsylvania, I think ' -thigh!' important, 1 think it alrsolutcly ne cessary. ti.at seme inquiry in'o tho condition of ah mm at thy military camps about this city, rhoiild be made; therefore, for the purpose of rtachirg this question practically, pud without making a party or , ''ti -:vl iasueoiitof it, I de sire to move to nmend the- preamble and resolu tion now bofoni 'lie House, by striking out nil after the* word "Whereas," and inserting the foiioftring: "it has com ' to 'lis knowledge of tho mem b'-rr, of this House, that the accommodations at CampCurtin for the recaption of the soldiers now returning from the field, are insufllcient and of a nature calculated to produce discomfort to, and g.nirate disease among the tree ;>v. therefore, il'to!,' i, 11 at a committee of three members of thi" House be appointed,to inquire into the condition of Camp Curtin, to ascertain what arraugemtnts have been made by the Executive Department for the reception pnd accommoda tion of toe troop:! returning from the seat of war, am* to repoi t the result of their inquiries to this House, at as early a day as possible." [Ma. W VTSON, of Philadelphia, liere said, that the substitute "assertedwhat is not true"; kin. BIGIIXM, of Allegheny, spoke of tho friends of the resolution find substitute, trying to make ".jolitical capital" by sticking'their noses into dirty, atii.aing holes and stirring them up"; and Mil. If.:, of Philadelphia, said he "could not go before his constituents, as having, upon this occasion, made a 'buncombe'speech"] MR. M'irons resumed: Ma. SPKArcint, Ido sine to say a few words in reply to the gentle man from Philadelphia, MB. WATEOI, who spol.E a few minutes ago. lie. says that the sulistitnte offered by myself asserts what Is not true.— ifcr.o, Ma. SI'EAKVK. that substitute, in its pre amble, makes only the* aasortion: "It lies cone t> the knov.'ledgfl of members of this House, ! that the accommodations at Camp Cnrtiu "are insufficient for tho recaption of the". returning soldiers,'' &c. Sir, it has corns to the knowl e te of members of this Hqilsfl, that such is the ease, that the accommodations at Camp Curtin arc insufficient, and the condition of that place unfit for the reception of the raturq i:i2,?olurileer*. Officers of sons of the regi ments now in this city', hr.io called, in person, upon members, and informed them concerning the mud imd tilth and dilapidation of Camp Curtin, at tho same time complaining of the cool reception they received bore upon their ar rival. I will say further, that these regiments that have returned, did not come here after night, as alley, d 1 y some >f 'ho gentlemen on the other side of this HOOP". At any rate, it was tho brsiness of tLe Executive authori ties to know taut th*- were coining, ami to as certain when they would arrive. lam sure it "■* not expected that the officers of regiments in South Carolina, or other remote pieces, (or the "riyates, forsooth,) are. to Write to Governor CtigTiN, or any other of the authorities here n> rSartisburg, that 11 a specified day tliey will bo here, and that preparations ought to he made for their rceenfton. Mr. Sonar KB, tl.is resolution was not offered for tho sake of "buncombe," ns intimated by the gentleman from 'Philadelphia (Mr. LEE). — Gentlemen or. the other ride jf the Honor arc ir.the.habitofcrying "buncombe. l " "buncombe!" wb-.-n an a"tempt is made to "stir up," as the gentleman from \'!eilicny said, the "stinking holes" that they have rundo upon th e soil of this coo l old Commonwealth. Tlie gentleman from Alleghony. admits that Camp Curtin, nnJ the ■-'her cair.ps prepared for tho reception of tho returning Rokliers, nro "stinking holes," and, therefore, tacitly acknowledges the necessity for the appointment of this Committeo. If tin re is anyt!jir.„ "rotten in Denmark," let us have it smelt out. I have not assailed Ibo pililicni pu'y r:pp t 'nfcd on the other silo of this hall. It is not necessary that I should. Ido not think that there is any danger that the gallant soldiers, the intelligent • ian of ournrmio., will miuinderstan 1 the position of (lint par'y. True, they mis,in •derstoad it oooc, hut they cannot misun lorstnn l 11 again, Tlioy understood 'nc.e that the clii"' of ' lip.t political organization in ti.'i State, was the friend of the soldier, hut 1 havo a fixed and firm he'iff that they will nevor regard him in that light again. ' Mr. SPEAKER, I would not hare said this much of a partisan nature, bad not the gentle men on the other rida assailed the friends of this resolution from a parly stand-point, and charg ed them wi'h endeavoring to make "political capital." Sir, lam simplv sekir.g to discharge my duty to my constituents; for, throe compa nies of tho brave men row stuck last in the mud at Camp Curtin, are rr.y constitutcnte- W1 etcver views I may hoi 1 in regard to tho war, (r nt an unfortunate nnd unhitppy war it certainly isy, 't is my duty to sec that these rneu are properly treated. Political doctrines con cerning the war have nothing to do with this malter. Members of this Hon '0 have boon in formed by their constituents among tho return ed soldiers, that there is something wrong about the accommodations prepared by tho Executivo authorities for tho reception of the furloughed veterans, and it is our duty to demand nu In quiry info tho alleged evil.
