HINTS TO TEACHERS.
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.

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. I remain, very truiv your?, &c.,

jie it Hesclvc ff That in the of this
House, ibo military authorities of this State
should Immediately make arrangements fir t!i

this city, and tip.soy wipe out the disgrace
which Ims beer. brou,,in upon tuo Suite, by thus
neglecting tli .1 who „.ve nir- ady proven their
patriotism ly deeds .-toad cf words.
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

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

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. Wo <lo not want
a political or partisan investigation: wo desire
that it shall be full, and free from all bias what
