to the iron rule of the slave power,
could fraternize together; that by what
ever name they have heretofore been
called, henceforth they would present a
united front, basing their action upon
the only questions that have any vital

It was in the'powcr of the Whig party
in this State, to have done Much towards
the accomplishment of this desirable
end ; and nothing but the perverseness
of the commercial Whigs of Philadel

foregone a strict party Convention, and
a call been issued for all the friends of

him for much good- reading, in Putnam

excellent article on Nebraska, which
ought to secure for it a rapid sale. Then
there are two articles suggested by the

full of interest. Stage-Coach Stoles,"

The _Prohibition Question.
We thank-the Pittsburg Dispatch for
its full and intelligent answer to ;our
question as to what possible good would
come of the passage of tho House liquor
bi 11... Its article satisfies us that a
very good argument may be made in
favor of the course it recommended, but
we are not- yet - satisfied that any good
would _come of such a bill. As for. the
miserable abortion which the Comilittee
of Conference agreed on, it is tco don
'
iemptible to receive attention ;, and
therefore we think our friends are in a
better position-than they would be if a
bill had been passed which in fact
amounted to nothing, and yet ;having
enough in it to secure the partisl sup
port of the Temperance strength. We
think our true position is, the Maine
Law or nothing; and that the thing
passed is near enough to nothing to give
'us an open field and a fair fight. The
Butler. Democrat, in the follojzing,
speaks our sentiments :
We differ entirely with our frield of
the Pittsburg Dispatch in relation u the
House bill. no.v being up in the! Sen
ate," and sincerely hope it may never
pass. It is worse than nothing. 1. does
seem there is a short-sightedness is this
matter. The examples set._ us by the
Legislature of Wisconiin and by, Con
gress in relation to•the prohibition ques
tion in the District of Columbia, ere
sufficient to satisfy us that- oothing, less
than petitions with boots on will answer
our purpoSe. Politicians must be made
to feel that they are the servants and not
the masters of the people, ere they wilt
try to do right. Pass the bill as prayed
for by cur eateemed_ friend of the Dis=
-patch, and you will do a vital injury to
the cause. You defer living action on
the subject for two years, and may be
for a longer time. We would give it as
our decided opinion, and we think we
have viewed the matter fairly, that the
best thing the Senate can do, is to insist;
and if in consequence
; the bill falls, let
responsibility fall upon the right quarter.
Our course is onward, and •upward."
Important to School Directors.
The school law which recently passed
the legislature, and received the sanction
of the Executive, makes it the duty of
the school- directors of the several coun
ties of- the Commonwealth to meet in
convention at the seat of justice of the
proper county, on the first Monday of
June next, and on the first Monday of
May in each third year thereafter, and
select viva vote by a majority of the
whole number of directors present, one
person of literary and scientific acquire
ments and of skill and experience in the
art of teaching, as county superintendent
for the three succeeding school years,
and the school dirpctors, or a majority of
them in such a6nvention,' shall deter

The above is a. Try important duty,
and we trust the chool directors of this

Consistency:
Most of our readers have doubtless
reflected somewhat on the inconsistency
of making the foreign slave trade piracy,
while, we treat the domestic slave trade
as an honorable occupation.
The following extract from the Bos
ton correspondent Of . the Anti-Stlavery
Standard showS u p this inconsistency
in a particularly happy vein. By the
way, this Boston writer has always been
a favorite of ours, and , we would tell
him so, if - we only knew bow to reach
bim with such important news.
But here is . his comments on a late
arrest for intending to take a few sav
ages from Africa to kind masters in the
South :
WE were refreshed• last week by a
fanatical demonstration in a quarter
whence it was strange to see it come.
A. vessel was bought into port, the
crew in irons, and taken charge of by
the United States Marshall, ind prose
cuted by B. F. Hallett the United. States
District Attorney, and all for what, do
you think ? Why, merely for proposing
to go to the coast of Africa and get a
-cargo of the raw material out of which
the Corner Stone of our Republican In
stitutions has been hewn ! Had he
been engaged in carrying away slaves
from the coast of Maryland and Virginia,
in the wrong direction, there would
have been some sense in it. The Cap
tain was 'taken before a United States
Commissioner, and instead of being.
invited to a public dinner, or nominated
for the Presidency of the United States,
he was committed to jail to await his
trial. It is odd what a difference lati
tude and lon g itude make in human ac
tions ! Had this- enterprising mariner
only directed his operations to the coast
wise traffic, instead of going into the
foreign trade, he would have been eli
gible to office; and might become a fruc
tifying member of any church, and had .
the chief of the respectability and of the
piety of the country toltand by him..
It is hardly necessary to say that he is
a foreigner. A native American would
hardly be guilty of such an indiscretion.
And we cannot but hope that after a
brief detention, he will be acquitted by,
a jury of National patriots and be bid to
go and sin no more, but to engage in
the honorable and fair trade in negroes
from Baltimore and Georgetown instead
of the Guinea coast. We should be
lenient towards those who, from the
inisfortune of not being born in a free
and enlightened country, fall into the
venial errors of this unfortunate gentle
man. It would not be a bad idea in
these days of Emigrant Societies and
Associations for the Information of Stran•
gers, to have one established for the
instruction of foreigners in the niceties
of our polity, so that, when they think
they are in the highway to the steps of
the White House they may not find
themselves mounting those of the gal
lows.

Any one wno rc“.
of
Congress in January lett, when the little
giant from Illinois was pompously pro
claiming that nobody opposed his bill
but Abolitionists and preachers, and thbt
it would become the law of the land in
ten days, will not fail to perceive that a
change has come over the .spirit of his
dream. We find this change graphically
described in a 'Washington letter of the
Philadelphia North .9inerican; as fol
lows :
APRIL 24, 1854.
Mr. Harris (of Mississippj) to day
discharged a volley of hot shot into the
Nebraska bill. Mr. H. is a fire-eating
Democrat, and opposes the , bill because
it is useless to the South in the conces
sions which it proposes to make, and
and pernicious in the leveling and ar
gmrian principles which it establishes.
The speeches of Mr. Harris and that of
Mr. Benton yesterday, are joy some called
invectives . against Nebraska. _There
never was a more undeserved epithet.
They were merely funeral dirges, in
tended to signalize the death, and com
memorate the infamy of the deceased.
Mr. Douglas is humiliated.
,He and
his friends do not court public observa
tion. They walk in shady places.
Their careering and cavorting has de
clined into a cat-like gait, which seems
practising itself for getting' through the
smallest boles, so' that if the litile end of
the horn, which they now find full in
titw, be of unexpectedly diminutive
proportions, they may still slip through.
How different all this from the insolent
rilaldry which they , so naturally Eis
suned a few weeks since. Virtue is its
own reward, and so baffled crime begets
its own punishment in the contempt
which it excites,
We commend the above to our anxious
friend of the Al'Kean News, with the
suggestion. that its attentive perusal will
be cf more service to his watch-chain
°rimy than any lees he will receive for
advocating the Douglas fraud.
Whatsoever convenience may
bethought to be in falsehood and dissim
ulation, it is soon over; but the incon
venience of it is. perpetual: because,
when, a min bath once forfeited the
reputation of his.integrity, he is set fast,
and nothing will then servo his turn—
neither (rah nor falsehood."
The Ward Case.
• The Press all over the country, regard
the WARD trial.as a farce, and denounce
if as such. ; It was brought to its con
cluaion by a combined monied -and so
cial influence,. wherein men"
figured, and "rich men" paid the piper.
Alas ! that it should be so t - lIL But it will
tell its story and teach its lesson—an
end will be
,put yet. to thii foul conduct
in old Kentucky : for the people there
know what justice is, and will have it.
The case, simply stated, stands thus :
The younger WARD is punished in
school, land admit now that BUTLER
was severe or unwise in administering
it, which was not the fact,) and imme
diately leaves it. •He repairs to his
brother; tells his story. -They arm;
they take pistols. and knives as well ;
they march into the school room ; they
abase poor' BUTLER ; when in reply to
their bitter tied burning words of denun
ciation, he asks mildly to explain, they
brand him us a liar, and because he
manifests indignation—not anger—they
shoot him dead—and a Kentucky Jury
says-this is all right! If a mechanic
had acted thus,- what would have been
his fate ? Or if some poor boy, upon
greaterprovocation, had gone into Ward's
room and shot him, what would have
been his fate ? No fouler murder was
ever committed than that of WARD upon
the poor schoolmaster at Louisville.—
Cleveland Leader.
Here • is another illustration of the
way slavery corrupts "the manners
and morals" of those connected-with it.
These Wards committed murder, in
open daylight, before a score of witness
es. Why were they - not convicted ?
Because the murderers were rich slave
holders and their victim was a poor
white school teacher. The Philadel
phia North .dmerican, a paper noted
'for its indifference to the encroachments
of slavery, contains a 'very able review
of this trial, in which it makes the fol
lowing statement :
I
WE start with declaring that, in our
judgment, and we dare say in that of
ninety and nine men in every hundred,
equally alien and indifferent as ourselves
to the affair, the killing of Professor
Butler was an atrocious murder. The
essential facts of the transaction have
been fully disclosed, and the act of the
accused, viewed in connection with its
immedidte antecedents, cannot, under a
just interpretation of the law, be con
strued is being anything less than a
deliberate and cold blooded assassination.
A customary and proper reprimand of
the younger Ward for some breach of
the rules of the sc - filol had been
inflicted. It is not even'\_alleged that
the punishment vas excessive or
cruel.. Upon this provocation, the boy
who had, been punished and an elder
brother, Matthew F. Ward, having first
armed .themselves to the teeth with
piitols and bowie knives, proceed to
gether to the school-house, call out the e ,
teacher, demand an explanation of a
chastisement performed in accordance,
with its 'usual and known custom. and
in [ the necesaary maintainance of the
culat , ""- 1 ". acattemy, and having,
in'the beginning of his apologeot..A....
meat, pronounced Proffesor Butler a
liar, emphasizing the charge with an
oath, Matthew F. Ward seizes the first
, intimation of ,* resentment which he had
I Wantonly:and; basely provoked, to shoot
him down likp a dog.
Such are the legitimate and every
day results of maintaining an institution
in
,one half the States, which permits
"one half ofthe citizens to trample on
the rights of the other," and thus "trans.
forms them into despots, and then into
enemies, destroys the morals of the one
part, and the amor patria [love of
country] of the other."
The, N. Y. Tribune in noticing this
trial pertinently asks :
" What business had the poor wretch
to be a schoolmaster in a State where
the rich and strong live in luxury on the
stolen labor of the poor and ignorant ?-
His trade is a dangerous one, and the
nuisance may be . summarily abated.
Had a schoolmaster burst in upon one
of the sons of the chivalry, as Ward did
'upon Butler, and treated him exactly as
the, former did the latter, he might have
thought himself lucky indeed if he were
permitted- to have a trial, and be deco
rously hung according to law. The
probability is, that he would have been
strung up •to the limb of some conve
nient tree svith'n an hour after his crime.
But-chivalry deliberately arms itself and
kills a schoolmaster, whose utmost pos
sible offense was an error of judgment
in the government of his school, and
a Kentucky jury justifies the deed !"

ticle on the position of the Free Democ.
racy and its aims, after stating that the\
party aims to work within constitutional
limits, and to overthrow the Slave Power
by the legitimate use of legal means,
closes its article with the following allu
sion to another class:
This we understand to be the pagition
of the Independent Democracy. They
believe this to be all that they can con
sistently aim to accomplish, as a party.
and under the Constitution of the United
States. This much faithfully carried
out they believe to be all sufficient to
cripple and destroy the effect of. this
unrighteous claim upon the Northern
States, and thus under their, own bond,
the slaveholdera may be practically de-.
feated. And now we confess that over
and above and back - of all
..this,- there to
a deep-seated, unconquerable determi
nation (rivolutionary in.its nature sad
bearings, if you choose to call it so) ani
mating a large and daily { increasing
prOportion of Northern hearts, that the
law of kindness, the law of • human
brotherhood, the law of god shall not be
over-ridden by any such statute where
they can prevent it ; in short; law or no
* law, Constitution or no Constitution,—
political remedy or no political remedy,
no living man shall be carried by force
front a free Slate to the South, on the
pretense that he owes involuntary ser
vice to a slaveholder, There are a
great many of this sort around Onondaga
County—they are neither Whigs, Dem
ocrats, nor Independent Democrats, but
men of all parties, and " Jerry men"—
who, as one said, „ don't care nothing
about pints o' law, Salt Pint is good
'enough to clear a fugitive on"—and
with reference to this class, need we
add, we are "one of 'em ?"
For the existence of this Revolution
ary party, the Slave Power may thank
themselves. Their insane course• its
1850, in pushing through the infamous ,
fugitive slave bill, and their monstrous.
proposition of 1854 to repeal ths Mis
souri Compromise, have laid the founds-
Lions of a Refolutionary party, that-trill
strengthen and grow until slavery shall
die.
The Next Governer
The last New-Castle Gazelle asks a
very important question, and puts forth
a strong appeal. which we hope will be
heeded. Speaking of the next guber
natorial election, it says :
" Are we•willing, as Pennsylvanians,
to make any sacrifice in order that the,
wide world may see and know that we •
are the eternal and uncompromising
enemies of slavery and oppression? If
so,.let us now, when the opportunity is
offered, signify our principles by uniting
rnilthe great question, as many other
States have done. L..t all the material
in the State opposed to the Nebraska
outrage, unite on the same men for
for principal offices for State and for
Congressmen, and then we will tell the
spoilers, north and south, such tutale as
will convince them for the finwf6 time,
that rennsytvania still has rights and'
principles which she will not sacrifice
even to parties or southern dictation."
We heartily endorse the above, and
hope friend SIIAW will be found uniting
his strength on a ticket we can ALL
rally around. We want no party can
didate, and will support none. Bring
out an independent man, one who is
right 'upon the great questions of the
tunes, and we will forget our attachment
to old organizations, and we will rally
around, and elect him in spite of oppo
sition. The Whig press have this ques
tion in their hands, and on them be the
responsibility. If they wish to see the
opponents of Wm. Bigler and slavery
misrule defeated, let them hoist the
name of WILMOT, or LARlMER—pro
vided always that they are • right on the
temperance question—and we will'prom
ise them a rictory worthy of the. cause.
Thousands on thousands of Democrats
stand ready to unite under an indepen
dent banner, but will never be found
supporting the oolforts Of Whiggery.--
Conneattlville r:ourier.
It is now apparent that Judge Pot.t.ocx
is not satisfactory to the independent,
anti-Nebraska voters, and that unison of
action among the opponents of Bigler
and Hunkerisrn can be only secured by
bringing out an independent candidate,
It is not yet too late to concentrate tho
State Reform, Maine Law, and Whig
Tote on a ticket that will sweep all be
fore it. If this result is not- accom
plished, the responsibility will rest on
the Whigs, for they alone have it in their
power to open the way for such a ticket
to be presented.
