Or We trust our friends in Ellisburg
will bear in mind the Temperance meet
ing at that . place on Friday evening
next, March 31. Messrs. Cole and
Johnson are thorough workers in the
Temperance catisg and will speak from
the heart.
tr Every minister of the gospel,
every religious newpaper, and every
honest man in the free states is opposed
LO the Douglas fraud.
far The Grstrui Division of the Sons
of Temperance_ of Pennsylvania will
hold its next quarterly session at this
piaco on the 26th cloy of April next.
fgr There will be a general rally of
all the friends of Temperance in this
county on Thursday the 27 day of April
next. as dila place. gee notice of the
Committee of arrangements -in another
column.
CST We are under obligations to Hon.
James bumble for a copy of the census
statistics of 1550.. We shall have fre
quent occasion to refer to this valuable
document.
"No more compromises with
slavery," is the general sentiment of
every Anti-Nebraska meeting that has
been held. This sentiment is fatal to
the race of doughfaces,
C r "Most of the trades, professions,
and ways of living among mankind,
take their origin either from the love of
pleasure or the fear of want."
'"Nothing is so much admired,
and so little understood, as wit."
car fiuffoon, " a man who makes a
praelieo of amusing others by low tricks,
antic gestures and postures, jokes and
other vulgar pleasantries. A drop' ; a
mimic, Ile that uses indecent railery."
tar Now is the time to carry forward
our cause with giant strides. Circulate
the documents, obtain subscribers to In
dependent, freedom-loving papers, hold
meetings and send on the petitions—al
ready the traitors at Washington begin
to tremble at the knees—follow up the
blows already given, witllspirit and de
termination, and the villainous swindle
will yet be defeated.
rir Hare you heard the news from
New Hampshire ! The people of the
Granite State have rebuked the conspir
ators at Washington in thunder tones.
Thank Qua there is still a North
.and
that At last it says to the Slarve Power,
Not imother foot of free Territory shall be
polluted with the curse of slavery.

gi Truth Vindicated."
This is the significant title of a pam
-phlet which the executive committee of
the Maine Law movement in Philadel
phia have issued in relation to the un
fortunate defection of ELI H. Pitice, the
Senator elected by the- Temperance
men of that city,
We have watched the course of this
movement with great interest—have pa
tiently read the labored defense of Sen
ator Price, as made by the Daily Jleg,
irier, and are now forced to the unwel
conic Conclusion, that Senator Price has
not acted the' part n 1 a high-minded,
honorab!e - matt. His letter of Feb. 17,
1854, to the executive committee of
the Friends of the Temperance Reform"
as published in the pamphlet before us,
is written in the language of a pettifog,
ger and is unworthy of a man of reputa
tion.
For instance, Mr. Price•knows per
fectly well that if be had written such a
letter before the election no consistent
Maine Law man would have voted for
him. Hence we say the attempt now
made to reconcile the vote given ib the
legislature, with the impression be knew
had been made •on the minds' ' of Tem,
pedace men as to what his course would
be If elected, is the work of a Pettifog
ger, and a small one at that.
jC Senator Price thinks his wealth,
and induentjal friends will save him from
the merited censure which his conduct
deserves, he wilf`firid himself mistaken.
Ho has disappointed the just expecta
tion; of the friends of Temperance
throughout the State, and his praise will
be confined to tho votaries of the free
use of intoxicating drinks. Rum and
ruin, by his influence has taken another
year's leave ,of power, but the masses
will not he trifled with much longer, and
the Maine including the right of search
is bound to drive rumselling beyond the
bounds of tbs Commonwealth. •
Now is the Time to Strike por
Freedom.
We presume all our readers realize
as well.as we -- do, that this is the roost
favorable time the country has seen in ?
many years to work efficiently for the
cause of peace, good dtler, progress and
reform. The public ear is open to re
ceive the truth of the gospel of Liberty
and Temperance. We desire the living
friends of reform in this aountylo likok
about a little and ask themselves what
thsy !lave dope to improve the golden
opportunity. It is easy enough to find
hosts of talkers for Temperance, and in
opposition to the Nebraska swindle; but
to act efficiently against rum and slave
ry, is quite another thing.
What is needed now is action, con-
sistent, energetic action. For instance,
notwithstanditg. we pulled 519 votes for
the Free Democratic candidate for Canal
Commissioner last fall, and the Whigs
80, many of whom take the Journal;
and notwithstanding the efficiency of the
paper in promoting the Temperance
and Liberty cause, is conceded by most
of our friends, yet its circulation in the
county - is but a trifle over 300. We
know half a dozen men, who could
increase this list 109 in two weeks, if
we could only get them to see the im
portance of such increase as we see it.
It has always seemed to us the hight of
folly to put off.action till within two or
three -weeks of election, and then ride
night and das to accomplish a purpose
that could more easily have been done
in a quiet way long before if a little fdre•
sight had been used. And -then this
I great efforts usually made just before
election co4inces no one, and therefore
has but a spasmodic influence. Where
as if our friends would commence now,
and make the same exertion to obtain
subscribers for the Journal, that is annu
ally made to carry the election, they
i would do a lasting work that would not
have to be done over and over every'
year.
And. then in addition to OA influence
thus produced, we trust a perusal of the
Journal will have a happy influence in
ether respects. We hope to inspire
manly thoughts in many young men
to inculcate the duty of industry and
economy—to encourage hope. faith, and
charity, and to strengthen in all the
love of virtue, honor, and independence.
We are conscious of many imperfec
tions about the paper, but having given
it our best exertions, we ask our friends
to overlook its imperfections,. and make
an energetic effort to put it on an inde
pendent footing as regards its pecuniary
condition, for thereby we think they
will be serving the cause in which
they are engaged.
We ;re not_ easily discouraged, but
we confess to some mortification at the
indifference , of some of our friends to
tile prosperity of the Journal.
J From the N. Y. Tribune
Alf Bail New Hampshire!
It looks again - as though there would
be a North. Democratic New Hamp-.
shire has replied to the Nebraska villainy
by repudiating its authors. The party
of Pierce and Douglas have lost even
that State, in which of all northern mem
bers of the Union such a revolution
could least be looked for. This glorious
and cheering fact unexpected and for the
past few days altogether unhoped for
even by the friends of freedom, must
strike the conspirators at Washington as
with the hand of avenging justice. In
the popular branch of the Legislature
the united Free Soilers and Whigs have
a sure and sufficient majority. No Slave
ry extensionist, no repudiator of the Mis
souri Compromise, no 'Williams or Nor
'
ris can hope to be heard at Washington
as a Senator from that State for years to
come. Thank God that this foul treason,
this wanton invasion of the rights of
freedom is thus decisively repudiated by
the People at the first State Election
where it could come before them
for judgment ! We should ;Jot have
been disappointed had the result proved
otherwise, for the Pierce men struggled
desperately throughout the State, deny
ing that the National Executive field the
repeal of the Missouri proviso to be a
party question, or in any sense a ques
tion of this . election. Notwithstanding
all, they are beaten and solely beceuse
the People would not in any way, even
by implication, make themselves acces =
sory to this nefarious measure.
And now, in the face of this result,
will the House of Representatives go on •
and pass the bill ! Will they defy the
unanimous feeling of the northern States,
after the egregidus and imposing mani
festation now made in New Hampshire ?
We do not know 'and for the moment
seek not to foretell. Let them do if they
dare ! We defy the conspirators to
consummate their crime ! The hand
writing is on the wall, and the unsparing
verdict will move swiftly to its ardent
and scornful execution.
The folowing is the latest inteligence
of the result of the New Hampshire
election
r3osTorr, March 19, 1854.
'- The Silas has returns from 204 towns
in - New" Hampshire, giving Baker 795
majority. His majority in the state will
be about 1,400. ' Of the Representatives
elected, as far as known, 153 ate Demo
crats and 154 Opposition.

Hem
The folloWing resolution of the State
Central Cammittee, it will be seen, fixes
the time of our next State Convention,
which we trust will be the largest and
mcst efficient ever held in the State :
Resolved, That a State Convention of
the Free Democrats of Pennsylvania, for
the nomination of a State Ticket, and
for promoting the organization of the
party, be and is hereby called, to meet
in Pittsburg on the first Wednesday (the
17th) of June next; and the Free Dem
ocrats are requested to meet in -their
counties and appoint delegates, and like
wise to attend generally as individuals,
especially - from those counties in which
no appointing meeting shall be held.
We republish the
the
list of
names belonging to the State Committee
with- their Post Office address. We
hope some one in each County not named _
in this fist will at once report himself to
the Secretary, C. P. Jones. of Valley
Forge, Montgomery County Penn'a.;
so that our organization may be perfected.
We feel a little mortified that M'Kean
County has as yet no representation in
the Committee ; for we gave Mr. Jones
the names of two or three reliable friends
of our cause, but he writes: us under
date of March 9th, that he. has received
no answer to either'of his letters sent to
M'Kean. This is not the way to labor
for freedom.. I3ut here is the list as it

Well Told.
Mr. Foresh told the following anec
dote at the great German Meeting, last
Friday, in New York :
"I have still some remarks to make
to show to what kind of means the
friends of the Nebraska bill hove re.
course. Before the
. meeting of a week
ago yesterday, there came to me a cer
tain Nesseler, who was once a • gens'-
arme in Gerinany. Be requested me to
appear at the meeting and speak in fa
vor of the bill. Of course I was obliged
to refuse. Thereupon- he imagined it
was with me.as with him, that the clink
of dollars would, perhaps, soften my
heart; so he laid twenty•five dollars up
on'
,the table. I said very quietly, to
him : "now lam still less inclined to do
it." (Thundering applause.) When he
perceived he conld do nothing with me,
he said: "Forsch t have you nouyet be
cOrne knowing ? The Nebraska bill is
. humbug, and every thing in the
United States is a humbug. Come,
then, make money !" I looked to my
wife and said quietly : "Charlotte, turn
that humbug out of doors. (Great laugh
ter and applause.)
The Democratic Press of Ohio.
We would, with all becoming mod
esty and respect, call the attention of
our Democratic Editors of this State, at
least, to the danger that is now setting
in against our party for 1856. If Gen.
Cass' Nicholson Letter defeated a man
of Gen. Cass' talents and exalted moral
character in a contest with a man of
such inferior capacity, what must we
expect if Douglas' Nebraska Bill pass
through a Democratic Congress. Mark
our prediction: if Abut bill pass - , the
Democratic party will be beaten, badly
beaten even in Ohio, no matter who may
be bur candidate. Yes, and if. our Detn
ocnitic members of Congress do not make
their mark against the Douglas bill as it
now stands, October will tel: a story
that they, and we - may not like to foot
up. We repeat what we slid a few
days since, , that, there is no Congres
shwa! District in Ohio, hat will not con =
demn that bill,
Rreihren ot the Press, are we pre
pared , for such a result ? Shall we
again suffer our cherished principles to
be submerged b y the muddy waters of
Whiggery and factionism combined
If not, , ; come down -upon this repeal of
compromises. Especially, you ivlio
have resolved against agitatien". The
Democratic Press of Ohio, united as one
man, can floor the illigitimate bantling,
if they will.—Democratic Mirror.
Mere TroebleWith Cuba.
Some days ago, the telegraph told a
terrible tale ablaut the Cuban authorities
seizing a vessel beloliging to citizens of
the United States: The Black Warrior
was the name of the vessel thus seized.
We believed at the .time, and see no
reason to change our opinion yet, that
this Black Warrior case was got up to
draiv*attention from the Nebraska swin
dle.
When the facts are ascertained a' bet
ter opinion perhaps may prevail, but the
following from the N. Y. Evening Post
of March lA, will show something of the
trickery that has been resorted to in
this case.
A dispatch from our consulate. at Ha"-
vanna to Secretary Marcy has been pub.
lished. It details the particulars of the
seizure of the Black Warrior. The tic
count of Mr. Robertson, the American
Consul. does not vary from that drawn
up by the agents of the steamer, which
we have already presented to our read
ers.
There is, however, a correction in the
letter, of an error - in a previous dispatch.
Mr. Robertson says:.
"In
"In my dispatch I stated, that the
British mail line have also been in the
habit of entering and clearing in ballast,
when they had cargo on board. Mr.
Crawfoid, the British consul. has as
sured me to day that such is not the
case."
This illustrates the loose way in
which even the official papers in refer=
ence to the Black Warrior have been
drawn up, and should put us en our
guard against trusting too credulously
to all we hear charged to the conduct of
the Cuban authorities.
Mr. Robertson, the American consul,
deserves the severest rebuke for having
made a positive statement of so much
importance in its bearing upon the ex
cited feeling in regard to the relations of
Cuba and the United States.. ' .
This correction of the consul's previ
ously false , statejnent serves, however,
to fix the atteiftion upon a precedent
which must have some influence in
forming a judgement, in the Black War
'liar case. The British mail vessels, it
seems, have not been in the habit of dis-.
obeying the Cuban laws, as is claimed
for our more independent vessels. 'Mr.
Robertson declares that Law's steamers
have always, as is confessed of the Black
Warrior, ;acted illegally. This is the
statement in the consul's dispatch No.
35. But as 'No. 35 contradicts what is
said in No. 34, we are prepared to find
in No. 36 a contradiction of No. 35.
NEI
When even officials thus reckkssly, give
currency to what is false, it is not sur
prising that all kinds of baseless rumors
should be rile. We - yet_ want clear
statements and facts in regard to the
seizure of the Black Warrior.
THE NEXT AGGRESSION OF SLAVERir.
—Let it be remembered that Slavery
never pauses in its march to.complete
dominion over all this country. The
passage of the Nebraska bill is but one
of its . constantly advancing steps. If it
succeeds in this, its restless spirit will
immediately bring forward / some other
scheme of aggression upon the rights
of Freedom.
There are some-indications of what is
to be the next aggressive step of Slave
ry. Mr. Toombs recently said to John
P. Hale, that the South would next de
mand an act of Congress to allow slave
holders to take their slaves with them
into any of the United States; and he
affirmed that, after the Nebraska bill
had been passed, - Congress would pass
such a law ; and he triumphantly antic
ipated the day when slaveholdera would
have the fight secured to them of-visit
ing Mas6khusetts with their slave prop
erty, and sitting With their slaves in se
curity at the foot of Bunker Hill Monu
ment.
Strictly according with this idea. and
showing the direction in which slave
holders' expectations are running, was
the assertion of a shiveholder in this
city last week. He said that the slave
holders intended to have a law passed
by Congress to allow .them to take their
slaves with them to the free States, and
that the same members of Congress who
for the Nebraska bill would put
this law through.—Boston Common

Coloon Schools.
We ;re indebted to Mr, Eldred of
the House for a copy of the Twentieth
Antinl Repor: of the Superintendent" of
Common Schools in Pennsylvania.
This is a; very interesting document,
fromiwhich we learn that our State is
•
making progress in her common school
system.
r There are; of course, many defects in
our present system, which should seceive
the attention,of the_ people and. of the
Legislature, but the greatest difftolty in
the.way of the complete triumph of the
educational movement is thus ably and
truthfully set forth in the report before
us:
The importance of securing the ser
vices of efficient and properly qualified
teachers, cannot be over-estimated. So
much depends upon the qualifications of
the teacher- r his moral and intellectual
habits—that:a school had fnr better be
closed than be left under the pernicious,
influence of who possesses neither
the capacity; not habits for the proper
discharge of his duties. The relation of
parent and child is one of the most in
teresting and important in life ; and that
of teacher and pupil being the same,
whilst under the-the control of the tutor,
his example should be as free •!'from im
moral taint, and his instructionsms judi
cious and intelligent, as that of a parent.
I am aware that, in many parts of.the
State, competent teachers cannot be pro
cured, without much difficulty. This,
however, I apprehend, can be remedied,
by the exercise of a more liberal dispo
sition on the part of directors and the I
people. Let teaching be treated ps an I
independent and : honorable profession.'
and its members receive proper treat
ment and 'adequate • compensation, and
there will soon be no scarcity of good
teachers. Young min, Instead of re
garding the occupation as an, humble
pursuit, yielding, at best, but a scanty
support. and to be adopted as a last re
sort or a mere temporary expedient, will
gladly and cheerfully prepare themselves
for the profession, and make it the occu
pation of their lives. But so long as
directors and parents put up the office of
teacher, as lit were, to the lowest bid•
der," and are indignant if a competent
teacher haS the•presumption to demand
a comparaoely fair salary, the evil must
remain. The most ordinary mechani
tol yields to the industrious
operative thirty orfortydollars a month,
and the salaries of clerks in stores and
offices, are; still more liberal ; but, froin
the tables ! Accompanying this report, it
will. he seen that the average pay of
male teachers, during The past year, is
less than !twenty dollars a month, and
that of females less than thirteen.
While this disparity exists as to corn
pensation in pursuits certainly not differ
ing in respectability, young men will be
loth to adopt the the precarious occupa
tion of teaching, more especially when
.other and more lucrative professions and
callings ere before them. It seems a
strange perversion of things indeed, that
whilst we ;are willing.to lavish our treas
ures upon the improvement of our farms,
or the adornment of our dwellings ; that
whilst all seem ready and willing to ex
pend their money for the mere gratifica`- - '
Lion of taste, that the pittiance necessary
for the education of the children of the
community, should be doled out with
Such an unwilling hand. As highly as
we may lie disposed to regard the pro
ject for the establishment of normal - or
teachers Schools, we should not be sen
sible to the fact, therefore, that to elevate
the profession of teacher to a proper po
sition in satiety and the estimation of.
the community, its emoluments should
correspond to some reasonable 'degree
at ;least with those of:other responsible
pursuits of life. It is true the operations
of the past year exhibit an increase of
fifty cents in, the,average compensation
of teachers, which is certainly a favora
ble indication so far as it goes.
Whig Stale Convention.
This body meets to-morrow nt
burg, to nominate, as we suppose, a
Whig candidate, to' be run and beaten
on.strict firstly grounds. .The Conren
tion, in thus putting forth a candidate
will be acting in accordance with the
wishes of _the friends °lithe present
. ,te and National Administration. it
will be pursuing the very course that,
as its enemies, they would advise ; for
they fear and tremble at the result of
any other course. But it has of late
become the custom and fashion of the
present leaders of the Whig party to
play into !and strengthen the hands of
their opponents, or they would now be
in the aScendenoy in both State and
Nation.
We, h6e advised agahist this course,
but advice is maligned. We have shown
that if . the Whigs really wish to obtain
poWer they have but one course to pur
sue, and that .a plain, easy, politic one.
If !they would make no nomination, but
support an independent Cardinale, let
it be Judge -Bell, Judge Pollock, Mr.
Stkong, General Lorimer, Gen. Cameron,
or any other good' man, he would be
elected by 20,000 majority, provided he
was run on the question of selling the
public works, and oposition to the Ne
braska iniquity. No man acquainted
with the politics of Pennsylvania can
doubt this. With the Governor would
be . elected a Legislature that would ac
cord with nod carry out the public sen
timent oa thesa'questions.
• But a difThrent course will undoubted
ly,:bebe adopted, with confidence on their
- parf,of some of success. The campaign
will be a spirited . one, as public feelings
on these questions is such that the san.
guine Ones will believe that the adoption
of resolves in . favor of a sale of the Pub
lic Works, and against the Nebraska)
bill, will secure the Whig nominees the
votes of all Democrats who are in favor
of those measures. But all such calcu—
lations are erroneous. And the result
will show that the hogus•Dernocraiy
understand their position best; while they ".
will come out with their usual majority
in advance.--Loncesler Independent
;nig.
We Publish elsewhere, the proceed-....P
ings of the Convention which verify the
predictions of the ft hig, and we bAve
little - doubt but this nomination of- Judge
Pollock as a pure whig,.ivill secure the
re-election of Governer Bigler, which
might easily have been prevented.
We hope the Independent votera.of
the State will now take measures, to
bring out a candidate for whom they Call
consistently and confidentially vote.

I. 0. of Good Temple=
In the whole history of the Temper
ance reform there has no organization
swept over the country with such rapid
ity as has the Independent Order of
Good Templars. In the single county
of Tioga, in this State, there are upward
of forty Lodges. - In our neighboring
county of Erie there are near a dozen
Lodges, all established within a few
weeks. The f:rystal Fountail speak
iag of the Oro-r, says:
"Its crowning grace is sociality.
Here father . and mother, sister and
brother, husband and wife, son awl
daughter, can all unite in one great tinn
ily, having the Fame object in view, and
consult together on the best means of obz•
taining that object. We cordially wet
t come all ladies of good moral character.
to whom prominent positions ire given,
and who labor with the members of the
Order in the great Moral movement of
Temperance. It is infinitely valuable
in bringing all the weight of female in
fluence to bear in behalf of temperance.
both in attracting the youth and middle
aged to the path of virtue, and moulding
the character and shaping the destiny of
the children of our land—tracbing them
to shun the unholy cup—fur woman is
the educator of our race. In no cause
is she more zealous, knowing. alcu,teo
well, the bitter fruits of intemperance."'
The motto of the orJer is "Temper
ance, Faith,Hope, Charity." We stated
two weeks, ago that a Lodge Was insti
tuted in this place on the.Nlcnslay evert
ing previons. We should have stated
in addition , that it was opened with a
list of twenty-seven members. We cars
now add that it already numbers near
fifty methbers, and that in a month from
its organization it will probably number
fully one hundred. A large number
have become members of the Order who
were never previously attached to any
Temperance organization. The initia
tion fee is fifty cents, and the dues ane
