BISHOP POTTER.
This gentleman delivered the Edu
tationalAddress ou Manday evening
of Ccurt Week. It was listened to
with deep interest by the people, aid
we hope that
,action will be the result
in every school district in the county.
The lecture showed that the subject
of the Education of the People was .
no new one to the speaker ; it shows
that he feels an interest—=a deep in
terest—in the cense, and an unbounded
confidence in the ultimate triumph of
Intelligence, through the common
school system, over Ignorance and its
results.
He gave a brief btft sufficiently com
prehensive sketch tif the origin and
history of common schools, reverting
eloquently, to the ordinances passed
by the , Pilgrim Fathers of New-Eng
land, to whom the credit of originating
the system Was due, Common schools
had been attempted in Europe, and
patronized by the Governments under
'which they existed, as
.a means of
Making loyal and faithful subjects.
So the common school system of
America was a means of perpetuating
Republicanism, and as sack demanded
our firmest and heartiest support, as
a duty not only to ourselves and our
children, but to our country. He
titioted from Lamartine, the French
poet and statesman, " The cross and
the press are the engines of modern
civilization;" but held that Christian-.
ity or freedom of speech would he
very poor engines indeed, were it not

hone but competent and efficient teach

as would lead young, men and women
to fit and prepare themselves for this
arduous and important undertaking..
His address was eliaracterited through
but by a beautiful and easy flow of
language, the soundest reasoning, and
a blending of the practical that was

.any person hare heard. the lecture
without feeling that the subject of
common school education was a more
i►tiptttant one than lie had heretefore
domed
In this lecture we have the evidence
of two things •zrs far as Bishop Putter
is concerned. First : that he is a pro
gressive man, and believes that man
is progressive ; and were his real
sentiments known, believes that the
common school system would bedefit
the cause of Republicanism in the
South as much as it has in the North,
where it originated. - Secondly : that
he believes something else necessary

God that there is one county in. this
Commonwealth where uo license is

that county my name bears," is his
own• la-nguage. We fear that had the
result been left to mural suasionists,
the Bishop would - not have bad the
pleasure. of expressing. this glorious
sentiment. The- lecture was a timely,

fully made in our behalf by one of the
ripest scholars hi the Stata; and as
the result of this lecture, let us make
ru cfßirt for the Educational interest
in Potter county, whose influence
shall be . felt by every school in our
midst, for thus we shall reward Bishop .
Potter for his kindly aid.
rir At military funerals in Californiajt is
said to be the practice, of or blazing the dead,
to have the band go back to the residence of
the deceased, and serenade the widow.
Strange custom that but in one of
California's sister States they have
practices quite as strange. We have
heard of a place where it is the
fashion to make donation parties for
the minister, and after bringing in
their gifts, the pious donors send for a
fiddler, and dance till midnight. In
some places it is the custom when a
band of mourners assemble to devise
means for improving and beautifying
the spot where their dear ones are
buried, to conclude their deliberations
with a cotillion.
MALL SLANMEIY - RULE THIS NATION
This question must. now force itself
on the attention of every one who his
a spark of manhood and intelligence.
The'Slave Power
. secured the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, and thus
threw down the barrier that protected :
our vast .North-West territory
_from_
the inroads of that blighting curse;
and now we find Kansas already
taken possession of by the slay ebolders.
There is 'hut one thing . that will pre
vent the extension of slavery to all
the- territory 'of the United States;
and that is the formation of a patty
of freedom, whose controlling prie,
ciple shall be, "No more Slave States."
The deceptive cry of no danger, can
no longer deceive any but the willfiilly
blind. Our readers are already in-.
formed that a pro-slavery delegate his
been elected to Congress from Kansas,
Hate that was done, may be seen from
the following item in the St. Louis
Inlelrgencet
Atn.—The Glasgow Times says
that one hundred persons lately left Saline
County, Mo., for Kansas, and were in that
Territory to time to look after the election of
Delegate to Congress. Likely."
Beautiful popular sovereignty that.
The following • correspondence of
the Cleveland Herald is to the same
purport ! •
The country is eminently adapted to slave
later. Wealthy slaveholders can go. there
with plenty of "help" and means, and make
money subduing and cultivating these lands.
They will do so, and despite all efforts.nqw
making or means yet adopted by the free
States to prevent it, Kansas is sure to become
a slate State! •
The Emigrant Aid Companies (as they are
termed) are doing very little indeed to no
cotnplish their object. They have eheour
aged hundreds of poor, well meaning and
honest people to lease their homes and rush
into the Territory without means to sustain
themselves, there, who must suffer every
thing but death. I hear of "Aid Associations"
with heavy capital, &c., &c, To accomplish
anything practically, this capital must be em
ployed to ," aid" and sustain settlers after
they reach, the Territory, until they get a
start and provide for themselves. Mbney
thus emp'oved will make , Kansas a free State,
otherwise money wilt make it slave. The
South will spend MOSEY freely to accomplish
their object. The North must make up its
mind to do the same if Freedom there is
worth its investment. It is time the troth
was known, and I intend to speak plainly and
truly.
The first election for delegate to Congress
will he held on the 29th. Gem Whitfield,
a thorough Pro-Slavery man, has been nom
inated. by those favorable to slavery in Kan
sas. I think he is the Administration candi
date. He will, I fear, be elected. - Great
frauds will be practiced , in toting. Hundreds
of residents in Missouri intend voting. and
*ill do so on pretense of holding claims in
the Territory.
. Gov. Bigler's sincerity in declaring himself
in favor of 'controlling' the liquor traffic, may
be judged by this fact, which we find in the
\Vest Chester Register: •
John D. Whitesides, tavern keeper in \Vest
Fallowfield township, who was convicted do
Thadsday last of selling liquor to a minor,
and sentenced to pay a fine of v. 5, the cost
0r prasectitidn and to undergo an imprison
ment of ten days, was pardoned by Governor
Bigler on the following dayl
This man was convicted under a hiw Which
Governor - Bigler and his friends hid enacted
last winter for a special purpose—to stave off
a prohibitory liquor law from the shoulders
of his excellency until atter the erection.
The election having:been lost by Wm. Bigler
lie has nofurther use for Senator Bueltalew's
masterly treatise on Legislative Poisoning,
and thus takes advantage of the pardoning
power to ignore itti prai!tical application in
'controlling' the lipior traflld.—Loneaster Er
press, . .
. .
Those Tempetance democrats who
deceived themselves that they could
consistently vote for Bigler are asked
to look at the above, and our friend of
the M'Kean Citizen will confer a favor
on us, if he will tell us by .what pro-
Coss of reasoning he comes to the con
elusion, that nothing was decided by
our State election. Does he believe
the liquor men can use- Gov. Pollock
as they have used William Bigler?
E ,T'' The Literary Association held
a special meeting on Saturday even
ing last, at which time Rev. Alonzo
Potter, L. L. D., favored our .commu-•
pity with a Lecture on the character
and habits of Washington, which no
words of ours could eulogize in fitting
terms. The great merit of the Lec
ture in our estimation was, its minute
and practical instructions to' every
business man. The great duties of
life were explained and enforced with
such earnestness of purpose, and such
beauty of thought, that the roughest
and dullest of us must certainly re
ceive much instruction and some im
proTemeut from the evening's enter
tainment.
ar The communication of Punch
is very acceptable. Please write
again soon. We do not agree with
his mode of reforming the school sys
tem, but we agree that there is much
need of reform, and the evils pointed
out by Punch area serious drawback
to the prosperity of our schools.
We hope to hear from others on this
subject, also ou the agricultural inter
ests in this county. Now is the time
for our farmers to think, read, and
write. • • •
, PREACKaiO POLITICS"
About a year ago, certain Divines
of the conservative school, with 4 feW
of their supporters, formed a mission
ary society to aid the South in main
taining that, kind of preaching which
ignores the sin of American slavery.
This Society . held its first - Anniversary
meeting a' short time since; in New
'VOA: It is called the "Southern Aid
Society:"
The receipts amount to $4595.12; .disburse
ments at the South, in furtherance of their
.work, $2420; Salaries, home agencies, office
expenses etc., etc ., that is, cost of working
the machinery of the Society, $165228.
The Society aided, during the year, .inis
sionaries of 6ve different denominations.
Addresses *were delivered by Dr. Hutton,
Dr. Cox, Dr. Bethune, and Dr. Newton, The
lasf.named gentleman is 'from Jackson, Miss.
He ridiculed the idea of any man who
preaches Christ's Gospel being in danger at
the South. He thought the only Gospel
hope of the South lay in the Southern Aid
Society, and that its political influence, even,
would be most beneficial. Whether it would
be safe to preach to the master, on the duty
of emancipating his slaves, .he did not say.
It is nearly a month since Dr. New
ton declared, right under the . nose of
the "Presbyterian," that the ministers
supported in the Sonth by the South
ern Aid Society would exert the most
beneficial pOitical' influence, and yet
we have not heard of any paper,- sec
ular . or religicius, finding , fault . with
•him fot "preaching politics." This is
not the first time We have noticed
that it is only thoSe movements which
operate against slavery, that • meet
with opposition from our conservative
"preserVers of the peace, and guardians
of the Gospel. 'Whatever movement
operates fur slavery is all right.
From • all such religious advisers,
froni their blindness of heart, selfish-.
ness, vain glory, and hypocrisy, may
some good angel deliver us.
tHOTiGHT AFLOAT
"I have an idea!" exclaims the tnan in the
play. "Have you,. really 7" is the retort,
which invariably raises a laugh. The laugh
is against the man who has the idea; and it
seems to be based upon a belief that the hay
ing of an idea is one of the commonest of
possible occurrences; so common, in fact, !
that lot a man to suppose his acquirement of
an idea to be a fact worthy of special. an,
nouricenteht, argues in him an extraordinary ,
poverty of mind. The question, " nave you.
really ?" calls the arention of an enlightened.
audience to the circumstance ; hence the ,
laugh,
For once, an enlightened audience is mis
taken. An idea is one of rarest of the pro•
ductiorls bt nature, and the moat ptecious.
Au idea wjjl go further, last longer, produce
more results, than any other commodity yet
discovered. The natural equality- of men
was once an idea in the heart of one man; it
tvill revolutionize the *odd, and rube:illy
change. every human IHAtitution. And so
forth.—Life Illustrated.
'We commend the above to those.
captious gentlemen who are endeavor
ing to detract from the merits of Mr.
Young's lecture. If none of us are
•
to say anything . that is not original
with ourselves, there will be precious
little said. •
a' . Since it has become the fashion for.
men to' confess their past errors very freely
in books, it is boldly asserted that there is no
material difference between an auto-biogra
phy and a naughty biography. •
After readiilg the "nakeity biog
raphy" of P. T. Barnum, in which he
details with apparent pride a great
many youthful peccadilloes which he
ought to be ashamed of, and boasts of
his more manish humbugging schemes,
we felt to exclaim, "There is more
truth than poetry in that bold asser-
tion."f
Er We -regr . et to say that Dr.
Sniith has been reelected Mayor of
Boston by' nearly 2000 majority.—
"Mayor Smith was very active in se
curing the return of Anthony Burns
to slavery, and his reelection shows
that a majority of the voters of Boston
are in favor of making Massachusetts
the hunting ground of the kidnapper.
We do not believe there is another
city of New England the would give
such a vote.
The idle should not be chissed
among the living; they are a sort of
dead men who can't be buried.
Man ought always to hive something
which he prefers to life, otherwise
life itself will appear to him tiresome
and void, •
A:want of confidence has kept many
a roan silent. A want of- sense has
made many persons talkative. •

/%lESSRS. EDITOR The issue of the
late electionsin the Northern States
seems to cause a great deal of -specu
lation on the 'probable consequences
involved in the result. r The instability
of party platforms, and the insecurity
of office-holders and spoili-mongers
in genera], is but anotkpr illustration
of the transient character of all sub
lunary things. The rout and utter
-defeat of old huniteriim is a consum
mation which may well rejoice the
heart of every friend of Progress and
Humanity. We rejoice in the result
not
,as a partisan triumph, but as a
triumph of the People and right prin
ciples over mere party and unprinci
pled demagogues, who in tic name
and 'under the cloak of Democracy,
do things that would disgrace any
desiotism in Europe. The people
'understand very well that the leading
ideas of the age- find,fittle sympathy
with the party which arrogates to
itself all the Democracy, their Phari
saical pretensions,to Which naturally
reminds one of the chaiacter described
by Pollock (not (? 4. Pollock, my
hunker friend)— •
" Who sto!e the livery of 7the court of heaVen
To serve the devil in."' • •
This use of the term Democracy
has worked like a charm in keeping
together the incongruous elements of
the party ; it has been their battle cry,
their Shiboleth, 'by Means of which
they have heretofore been able to Whip
in the disaffected, and adjust the party
collar to their necks, and make them
.
pull true in the traces, according to
the direction of the sachems. But
now the spell is broken, the scales
have fallen from their'eyes,—they have
discovered that there is a greater good
than the good of the party. Great
Babylon totters to itse fall. Who shall
stay the mighty ruin? • Who shall re
store its beautiful proportions? The
arm of the "Little Giant" has become
palsied; his hand is impotent to save ;
the music of his voice has departed ;
the Southern Delilab.has shorn him of
his strength, and, like others before
I him, he has lost the 'confidence of the
North, Without winning the esteem of
the South ; and amid the universal
upheaVal of parties and the demolition
of old fogyism in general, it is feared
that Pierce, : Douglas, and their road
' jutors will be "left alone in their
glory." But the people will do them
justice, and should they succeed ,in
their schemes of still further extending
and aggrandizing the "peculiar insti
tution," their fame Will be inlperish
' able ;
.they will have gained an
im
mortality (of infamy) incomparably
greater than that ofthe !man who set
firo to the magnificent Temple of Diana
at Ephesus, ! that his name might he
transmitted to posterity,.
I commenced: thii article with the'
view of suggesting ;that the people of
this State had a riglit to expect of . the
men whom they have elected to office
some decided •refornis in the civil and
adininistrative poliCy of the Slate.
It is a fact 'too notorious to try to con 7
ceal,, that Pennsylvania .enjoys the
reputation of being !rather behind her
sister 'States of the North in many
respects. But I intended hero to call
attention to only one subject—a re
fonn which I think is • very much
needed. I. allude . to our Common
School System. It !should be made
morellemocia . tic. ' I would abolish the
: ! •
present system of township districts
and directors, and let each sub-district
bean independent district, and elect
its own district officers, 'to serve With.
otit cotnpen — sation. I would also abet.
lair - the office . of County Superintend- .
- cut, and establish that. of Town Super
intendent, who should have the general
supervision - of all the schools in his
inSpection - of, teachers,
Vic.; •fie should also, under suitable
bonds, - be the receiver and disburser
of the school funds belonging to his
township. The. Trbstees, or officers .
of each district, should be responsible
to the Town Superintendent, and he
to tho State Superintendent. I throw
out these hints merely as suggestions
to . others, and I hope some one better
qualified to do justice to the subject
will take it up. One of the abomina
tion's of the present sy'stem, is the
_way
in which the school moneTs are ap
propriated among the several districts.
It is neither .just nor right that a dis
trict paying $l5O or $2(10 school tax,
with forty scholars, should receive no
more school mime) , than one paying
$25, with seven to- ten scholars. But
We see, such to be the. working of the
present-law. A . case occurred in this
town last winter, where a teacher
taught five scholars three months fer
$l5 per month, and another teacher
(female) taught between thirty and
forty at $lO. per month. The first
district received nine dollars per head
for each scholar taught, the other a
little less than one. -It is repugnant to
common sense,- and the spirit of the
age, fur a district which requires eight
or ten months' school in a year to be
restricted ter tist six, and that perhaps
of the cheapest and poorest kind.
We Want a-system that will enabie
every school district to manage its own
internal affairs, subject only to general
State regulations. Each district is its
own proper judge. of how many
months' school it will have, the teacher ,
it will-hire; and the amount of com
pensation it will give, with various
other matters over which they now
have little or no control. T 6 do -this,
there should be an equitable division
of the school moneys among the seve
ral districts, without regard to tile
number of months' schooling, or.the .
amount of wages paid by each, and
let each district make up their deli
ciency, when there is any, either by
a rate bill on the scholar, or a tax on
the assessed valuation of the district.
It seems obvious to me that some such
plan would infuse more life and spirit
into. our common schools, and also
insure more vigilance and economy in
their management. People groan heav
ily under their burden of taxes, and
the impression -is very prevalent that
the benefits derived from our present
system do not correspond with the
outlay. So here goes fur a reform—
who speaks next? • PUNCH.
For the Journal
A practical result has been realized
from Paine's experiments in manu
facturing gas from water, which may
be witnessed at the clothing store of
J. linutoon, in our Borough, It is
simply Benzoic in combinatiOn with
Alcohol and water, through which a
current of air is continually passing.
and the escaping gas burns with a
bright and clear light, of great brill
iancy and illuminating power.
The invention-is patented by the
"American Gas Company," from
whom D. F. Lawrence has secured
the agency, and is ready to furnish
county, borough,- and single rights on
liberal terms.
We give the following estimate of
the cost, and advantages of the Ben
zoic light:—"The present price of
Benzoic does not exceed $1,12A per
gallon, to which,: add the price of a
pint of alcohol, at present 123 : cents,
making $1;25; and as much water as
alcohol, and you will have a mixture
that will produce as much light as will
a thousand cubic feet of coal gas, both
being measured by the photometer,
coal gas costing on au average, in
twenty-nine of our. principal cities,
$3,77 per, thousand feet. This light
is free from all unhealthy exhalations
experienced in coal gas, and is also
much' more' agreeable to the eye.
The refracting power of this light is
much greater - than 'that of other arti
ficial lights, being much more' like
that of the sun and colors arc almost
as eaSily-distinguishecl in its rays, as
in those of the sun, for (he reason that
the prismatic colors of the former arc
almost as bright as those of -(he sole;
spectrum.
It will seen by the above esti
mate of the cost of this light, that it is
less than one-half of that of other arti
ficial lights, including candles, oil,
burning fluids, &c., as well as other

'sun] and devilish' as to kilsgrace th e
pulpit in which they are mentioned.
the speaker made .a wide distinetiOn
between politics as they. are, and
should be.
" Them is," says he, tiasommo n
and indeed a popular sense, in which
to carry 'politics . into religion is a
curse and a sore wickedness. Take
the word politics iii its vulgar Mid
most perverted meaning, as denoting
the party chicanery of placemen for
power—the low artifices of prostitute
and false statesmanship for:office and
spoils—and the man who would seek
its Coalition with any great moral and
religions interests deserves at our
hands an indignant rebuke, , and will,
at God's hand, surely meet a sore
retribution. * • But I 'hold it
to he my right, nay, my most bounden
duty, to seek all honorable legislation
to aid me in the suppression of. Popu
lar iniquities. -Inteniperanie; oppre.-
sion, Sabbath-breaking, profaneness--
these, and the whole - great catalogue
of flagrant immurralities, are as very

highway robbery, or adultery or mur.:

et2;: fur whose widest welfare only.
the government is created, I can come
to.that government," not asking but

and my beloved , ones from such foul
felonies on my interests."
Tho idea that a very large body
of our most learned and intelligent
citizens shall be frowned down, and
forbidden to speak' upon National
affairs, or petition against such meas.
tires as outrage every better feeling
of our natures, is Maintained by those
only whose every impulse is selfish,
and whofear to bring their measures
to the rulof divine tight.
We re:minuend the sermon to these
who feel an interest in a questioa
which dining the last session of Con.
press kindled a very ardent feeling in
the e country- With most of the views

What will Mr. Cass say to the sen

Here is one of the pro-slavery organs*
which takes the ground that slavery
must become a burden unless it has
room to expand. The doctrine of
Cass and the doughfaces always has
been that increasing the area of slave
ry did not . increase the evil, and so
.Was a very innocent affair.. But hear
what slavery says in reply: We want
room, we want new lands, we want a
chance to expand; and it' we cannot
get these things, our institution is
useless. and; will soon become burden
sotne and dangerous." Our readers
will therefore, see why the share
holders have struggled so desperately
for the right to extend. It is a strug

ry is confined to • certain limits - it is
doomed. It at once becomes burden

chance for life is in new territory and
room to expand.—N. Y. Tribune.
