Slavery has gained.a fresh victory in
Kansas. Ait election was held in this
Territory on the 30th of March for
members of the Territorial Legisla
ture. If aoy of our readers are still
entertaining the delusive idea that the
settlers in Kansas are alloWed to have
any influence on the question of
Slavery, we ask them to read the fol
lowing paragraphs. Says the Even
ing Post of April 5:
Not very long since we published some
exhonatimis addressed by southern journals
to the slaveh . olders, instigating them to spend
motley taee.y in carrying ihe elections in the
terri,ory of Ksnsas. The advice Seems to
have been taken. An army wept over the.

POWER OF TEACHERS OVER SCHOLARS
OUT OF SCHOOL
The late Superintendent made what
we thought a very unfortunate decision
on this suliject, and we are glad Col:
Curtin hold: a'contrar) : opinion. We
find in the School Journal for April
-
several decisions of gteat importance,
and among othets this one:
•
The an hority of teachers over pupils out ,
of the school horn re, is a question- over which
the Depar.ment has, under the Jaw, only ad
visory, and not absolute, power; and defer
ence to former decisions - on the sublec•. has ,
delayed instructions thus far on tliis •pout.
But numerous and increasing complains '
front sing c schoo's and emire disir c , s, of bid
condnc. and ;:c - s of insubordinatiori, at the'
school house and under the eye of the direct
-1/I'S end tember, h ire been received. These
cases, so demoralizing, m the r charac er and
subversive of the d.scipline of the schools, yet
neg ec:ed by paren.s, and not propery cognl
z,b c by the Courts, require the statement,
here, ilia; in the opinion of .he present Super
intendent, the jurkd ct.on and au.hority of
the 'fetcher over pupils is
.neither limited by
the school house walk, nor to the time the
• scion. is .ucinaily in session; but thit, as in
general ru e, in all matters legitimate y con
nected wi h .he schools and the manners and
mordis of lie schol.tik, the teacher's jurisdic
tion commences at the moment when pupils
' Ie ire the p..rental roar and control to go to

How do you like the idea ofselling . deacons
of churches.in Christian America l-,-Couders
part Journal.
The " ide t of selling deacons of churches . "
is no more revolt ng MAI that of setling. Pa
gans, Infide:s, or Miihommedans. We do not
believe that when the Man on Calvary said
" Inastnuely as ye have done it unto one of
these my breihrefi, ye have done it unto me,"
he referred to his immediate followers.
Christ's breihren" . were all mankind. The
sab•e Ethiopian, the swarthy Asiatic, and fair
skinned Caucasian—who her they worship
fleithen Ido.s, the God of the Chris.ians, or
prostrate ilietnse.ves before the Mah mutedan
altar, and devoutly- exclaim, "Allah ie great;
and Mahommed is his Prophet !"—were bre.h
ren aake.to him: and literefore he who holds
in bond ige the most depraved, most ignorant,
in being, no Matter what the comp exion
or re igious creed, is ensiaving the spirit or
Christ. We are not of those whose sympa
thy is on'y drawn nut when a pious deacon,
or a whim "an ge of God" is fount] in

To all which We say Amen. When
we penned the paragraph from which
the above question was taken, we
were simply stating a case that would
puzzle eten conservative theology . tO
defend, not as we are in the habit of
viewing it from our own stand-point
. "Give a man power of doing
what he pleases with impunity, you
extinguish his fear, and consequently
- overiurn in him one of the great pil
lars of morality. This_ we find con"-
firmed by matter of fact. How many.
hopeful heirs apparent to grand em
pires, when in the possession of them,
have become such . monsters of lust
and cruelty. as are a reproach to hu
man nature."--Addisott.•
The cruelties perpetrated cm the,
slaves of the South, are accounted for
in the above axiom of a great man.

The Rik 'pond Enquirer has
of a startling chtrac:er as to the pasitiOn'of
the Know-Nothing eandidate'for Goventor of

was due 10-a want of &talkies for commercial.
inteteourse.
Mr. nournoy controvested this position,
and ma:manned ;hat the decline of Virginia
was due to negro slivery, asserting that no•
country c.in be prosperous wi,ll a slave popu
lation. These are the sentiments avowed .
every day by northern- freesoi:ers
and anti-ela

acl s affinity Between Know-Noibings and

surprised by this revelattoti. We :hull be sur

What a precious set of prophets
these leaders of sham democracy _are.
Last week we copied from the Har

Virginians•would rush pell-mell into
Know-Nothingism, in order to defeat
the. party' of freedom( and : here we
have its Washington namesake, assert
ing that the. KnuriNothings of Vir
ginia: are in close affinity with free
soilers. Which of these prophets is a
true one One of them must be false,
as they contradict each other; and we
are half inclined to the opinion, they
are neither of them entitled to credit,
and.that they are fair samples . of the
pro-slavery press as a class—incapa
ble of telling the truth.

A FEW THOUGHTS FOR' THE SONS
017 . TEMPERANVE..
DEAR BROtIIEiS:f The Temperance
cnuse moves slowly,. but still it moves.
Progress has mat ked its histOry from
the first. The work to be accom-
plished was tno vast, too deep, too
broad to be 'wrought in a brief periq.
Evils diehard at best, and contend' for
existence to the last. Like man, updn
whonithey prey, and curse, and ruih,
they only die olnecessity—for live
they will, as long as they can.
Now; the spirit of reform, develop
ing itself in "the Temperance cause)
seeks the destruction of the evils o
intemperance;' a herculean task s we
grant, hut, for this very reason, among
others, we should desire its pilot...n-1-
ance. 'That which costs but little, as
a general thing, is but little prized,
while that which costs us most, in our
estimation, is the - most valuable. Is.
knowledge desirable? And does its
possession give' prominence ark in
fluence?. Close and continued- oppli,.
cation to the study of men and books
is necessary; for men leap not into
existence . " full grown Solomons,
even Solons. Is wealth desirable, and
chiefly so, because by, its proper em
ployment relief is administered to the
needy, and the giver blessed—su
premely blessed—in the giving? Self
denial and industry, _economy and
frugality, are indispensable to wealth.
[There are some born to fortunes, and
those who obtain wealth without-indus
try—by robbing their fellow men;
and owe their fancied high position to
no superior worth of their own.—En.]
Well. what is true of man •as an
individual, is equally true of him in.
associated capacity. Wouldau or
ganization.accomplish anything worthy.
of its . existence, -as such, it must be -
content to lai;or. and to wait. For
tunately for the world, the Order of
the Sons of Temperance, with. com
paratively few exceptions, has been
made up of just such men. By such, I
the glorious Temperance teformation
has been brought to its' present ad
vanced position, from which its advo- -
cates are greeted with demonstrations
of. victory, multiplying in the East
and the West, the North and the South.
Be encouraged, then, brothers, for the
sun of your hope is in the ascendant,
and not in the decline. The dwellers,
in the vale and on the mountain are
rejoicing to hear the tread of your
march on your way to the grand con. ,
summation of your toils-the univer
sal triumph of the cause Remember
that you live "when advancement; pro ,
gression, and reformation, in regal d
to everything that can be benefitted .
by these; is called for, expected, and
I seriously demanded; when, by a free
• press and free speech, and cheap
postage, and railroads, and_ lightning
wires expediting the transmission of
! intelligence, great facilities are en-
Joyed fin- doing good. Yours, in truth,
is a very desirable position; desirable
because you have toiled up to it, and
because you have reached it by dint
of.,,perseverance in
. the free use of
heavy, hard• arguttients; desirable, be
cause you are the stronger . for the
labor; and the many you. have blessed
on your way: It is desirable for an
other reason, and that is this: you can
maintain it, and you Mean to do it.
Does any one doubt \ it We say, you
will believe it. Does any one fear it?
We assure you it will not-harm you,
but do you good, and only good, for
ever. Do any laugh at our indulging
the hope of success? We say to such,
that we are in sober earnest, and that
we honestly . mean to have victory or
death—and that we plate victory first,.
because we seriously believe it nearest.
We tell the public—we tell the
world—that we have looked at intem
perance as regards the use of alcoholic
drinks, in every light of which the
subject is capable, and that our own
deep, profound, and constant con
viction is, that it perils the best, the
highest, and the holiest interests of
humanity; and that, as lovers of our
country and our race, our uncompro
mising warfare is and shall be against
it "till the death." By all , the better
affections of your nature, by the pre
ceptive teachings of an immaculate
Jesus, we beseech you, brothers, to
regard yourselvOs bound to stand in
. the Temperance ranks as long as you
can stand anywhere, and to .stand
there for the express purpose of fight
ing to Conquer. Surely, it were in
-glorious to fartes even in the nightly
struggle at this, point, when as -,an
Order you are' ; receiving and
!Cora
manding the respect which has never
been • given any other Temperance
organization. %lee' victory, piiied
on - easy wing, only Waits-your bidd i ng
to. sit in graceful attitude upon yOur
banners; and when the clement of this
reform. has been felt in our town,
and county, 'and State elections,. and
has actually Crossed the threshold of
almost every State Capitol, to chal
lenge the scrutiny of the legislafor,
and to dare the, veto of the Executive,
and when one Governor, swayed iby
the rum power; denied its legitimacy,
was elected, the-very first oppiirtunity,
•to never fill the Chair of State. agiin.
At such a time—at: such a pointt--You
will not falter, I knoW you 'll not, but
ba-content to labor and to wait:.
Yours in L., P., and F.,

SitattoN, March 28th, 1555,
Editors of the Journal: You doubt
less, have plenty of Literary commu,
nications friim. rustics, (of which 1
claim to he a fine specimen.) But as
your, or rather our paper, is a Pee
pie's .Journal,• you have no right to
complain if now and then one reaches
you from 80111 C remote corner. So
much- by way of apology.
Well, in• the. northwest corner of
the northwest town in Potter county,
is a sub-School-District,. known:as
"Horse Run," and a quiet:, out-of-the
way kind of place it is "too; though
not so far out of - the 'pay but what the
most of us take and read the Trihnnc
and People's Journal. Early . last win
ter we formed a Lyceurn•or Debating
Club, under rather unfavorable cir
cumstances. But our Lyceum las",
.met regularly, and. weekly since its
organiaation,.. and the interest felt has
increased at each succeeding meeting,
till we have concluded to dignify it
with the- name of " The House Atm
Literary Aisociation." The Associ
ation will meet once in two weeks till
SePtember next, and then weekly
again, through the fall. and winter.
Now allowing your humble correspOnd
e4 to be a proper judge of the Mat
terc this Lyceum has done much giind,
in Waking up the ideas -of those who
have become rusty by disuse,and stim
ulating the younger part of comnni
nity to reading and reflection.. And
we do not expect the advantages. to
stop here. Last Saturday evening
we listened to. an able and eloquelit
lecture froin F. A. Jones, a young
' gointleman born and reared in this
town, but now a successful teacher in
the Waterford Academy, Eric Co.,
P. His subject was "Max" and he
adOpted the old text, " The Proper,
study of mankind is man." He spoke
intelligently of the laws of our being,
our phisical,• Moral,- and intellectual
training, and in a masterly. manner
•piinted out the duties of those whose
province -it is to mould the-iminOrtal
mind of the young.. When speaking
of man's capacities, capabilities and
duties, old fogyism, intemperance and
dough-faceism were severely handled,
'and I believe all who heard it went
away benefited and instructed. You
shall hear from us occasionally, if it is
not asking too much. .
• Yours truly; K *
THE LETTERS' COMPLAINT
As the Journal has benevolently
published the - complaints of those
much-abused set Tants of the peeple,
the Words, I hope you will not turn a
deaf ear to an accint of the greater
hardships of a smaller - family, who are
the servants of these servants ; and
who are much abused, rnis-placed,
transposed and overworked; especial
ly the'sisters, and most of all myself,
the first on the list. Not that I should
complain of double duty, as-that is the
lot of most eldest sisters; but mine is
qu'adruple at least.
A gentleman cannot get hat, cane or
segar, without calling for me, and; as
if that were not enough, 1 am often
compelled to do duty for my second
or third sister: For instance, Jenna
instead of Jennie or Jenny. but this
abuse : is more general iu pronuncia
tion than in spelling, and is often bard
on little sis, as-she is wrongfully made
my deputy; as in Sareo, Elizee, &c.
And worse than that, and more to be
deplored, • sheis compelled, in the for
mation of one of the most powerful
words of the English language, to
stand flanked on the left by three and
on the right by four brothers. •
Egotists abuse the third, and tier•
vous•or timid re:ipl e the fourth sister,
while the' brothers, though thrice e et •
number and boastful of their r eatou.
flue strength, can do nothing withoutus.

READING THE BIBLE IN SCHOOL,
Mn. ELM :—ln compliance with
your request, I give you through
medium my views upon the subject
above named. As it "can hardly b e
imagined that any friend of education
or of good morals, would object to
have the Bible read•in our Schuoli,l
will not stn) to - defend the' practice,
but simply advert to the time and
manner in which it may most apiira
priately be done.
The plan, then, which I should pro
poSe, under the circumstances, isms:.
Let the teacher• read a suitaliki pot.
tion, not' too long, both morning and
afternoon, just after recess. The- ex.
et cise will
-thus be elevated aboVe the
routine of ordinary school tasks,. and
exempted from the•awkwardi,ess and
merriment so often arising in the
teaching of blundering pupils. The
time proposed is better than the open.
ing hour in the 11101 fling, from the fact
that many scholars in our large and•
scattered districts are tardy mid irreg.
ular in their attendance. The time is
better than the close of school, as the
scholars are then impatient to get nut.
At no time of thJ day can their at•
tention be bolter fixed, than after a
littie healthful bodily . exercLe. It will
readily i,ccur to teachers that after
reading the Scriptures would be a
very suitable time fbr any general
ream: ks, advice, or admonition. -
plan proposr;d is that whichl
