This an era•-in --the-: educational
movement of this, county, of very gret
importance to U 8 all, and indicating a
fixed purpose to make virtue and in
telligence chief among our desires
and pursuits. This is well. It is
hoped the Institute is now a fixed fact
one. ofthe permanent Institutions of
the cpanty, to be held semi-annually:
and that no teacher - will hereafter
think of entering upon the responsible
duties of instructor, without having
received the benefit of a thorough
drill ng at the Institute.
The One now in progress in this
village, under the supervision of Mr.
Pradt, our efficient County Superin
tendent, has been entirely successful.
True, the number of teachers in attend :
anceis averaging about twenty
five, but the exercises are highly. in
structive, so that these twenty-five
teachers will go to their several homes,
living examples of the usefulness and
necessity of the school for teachers.
We know those present have - received
a large amount of valuable informs:.
tion, for their exercises were so -inter
esting we could not keep a•.yay from
them, and every visit to the Lectures
proved their usefulness..
The young ladies who have thus
spent two weeks of their time, and
two weeks more Of wages in prepar
ing themselves for their profession,
will be worth much more as.teach
ers, than they would have been with
out these thorough drillings, and we
hope they. will receive an increased
compensation in consequence. Mr.
Charles H. Alien of Smethport, has
sustained the efforts of Mr. Pradt with
tact, energy,, and skill, and is entirely
at home in these exercises. His cheer
ful, hopeful appearance could .-rery
illy be spared. Mr. Smith of Oswayo,
has .also given a helping hand, and
shown his devotion to the good .cause.
Mr. Bloomingdale, Principal of the
Coudersport Academy, has devcited
all the time lie could steal from his
other arduous duties to the teachers,
and has rendered valuable services.
With such a corps, success is certain.
Tho closing exercises will be held
on this (Thursday) evening, at which
time Mr. Pradt will delivot his char,se
to the teachers, and- it is hoped the
entire community will be present to
receive instruction and give encour
agement to those engaged in this noble
work.
tar We call attention .to the letter
on the outside from N. W. Goodrich;
Esq. We would gladly speak a kind
word to him and his companion on the
loss of their loved one, wei e it in our
power. We would also say to him,
that his determination to do what be
can to make Kansas a free State, will
endear him to every friend of freedom
among his old acquaintances, irre
spective of former political opinions.
We trust this letter will open the.,
eycs•of those in this county, who have
been induced to believe there was no
danger of slavery extending to Kan
sas. And now, let us ask if- you will
hereafter use your political influence
so as to - sustain Mr. Goodrich and
others who are endeavoring to . make
Kansas free, or will you vote and act
so as to sustain -the slaveholders in
their violent subjugation of our West
ern Territories, One course or
. the
other is unavoidable. .

merged in the True .American, with

paper makes a fine - appearance, and
is filled with that kind of information
which good Republicans like to see:
We hope it will receive a liberal sup
port. The following brief apology
from the last number tells the av - hole
story as to its position:
By our combination this week we find a
couple of petitions for tavern license entailed

that opposition to Slavery was; oppo
sition'-to the • Union.. The defendeis:
of slavery have proclaimed themselves
the peculiar champions of the ;Union;
with the-same zeal l and- self-glorifica- -
tier), as the leaders - o:If sham. denio.et'acy
have displayed in extolling their own
claims as the peculiar friends- of the
people. It is . becoming pretty gen
erally understood that both of these
claims are unfounded. Anti-slavery
men have asserted these ten years,
and proved their assertions, too, that
the aggressions of slavery would one .
day dissolve the Union of .the States,
if not successfully resisted. The state
of public feeling throughout the. free
States at the present time, vindicates
the sagacity of the early friends of
freedom. Take the following extract
'from an article in the Pittsburg Cia-,
zette, commenting on the late foray of
the Missourians into Kansas, as a
sample :
One thing is pretty certain, that the success
of the Kansas outrage hastens by many years
the death-knell of the Union ; and we think
there is numb reason to believe that the South
is not averse to such a result. Be this as• it
may, it is now evident that in the North the
old fashionc - d reverence- and attachment to
the Union is nearly extinct. In a large class
of minds the Union is looked, upon with care
less indifference while in others it is viewed,
with aversion. Ten years ago, a disunionist ,
could hardly be found Nord' of Mason and 1,
Dixon's line. Now it is a common occur
rence
to .hear respectable and sober thinking
men express their desire for a peaceab;t d,s
union. You hear it on the streets, in railroad '
cars, in public , assemblies, end the sentiment
usually meets with the hearfy concurrence
of all who hear it expressed. If the South
really does not desire disunion, she is pursu
ing a most dangerous game, and one which ,1
promises in its res.ults to bring ruin upon
herself. The North once did love and deeply
reverence the Union. It was the most pro
found political sentiment in the public mind.
Now all is changed. The New York Courier,
par excellence a Union-saving paper, admits
the change, in the following extract from an
article on the Kansas question :
"A powerful movement will doubtless be
made for the restoration of the Missouri Com-
promise. Whether it succeeds or not, it is
certain that Kansas cannot be admttted into
the Union as a slaveholding State without a
desperate struggle—a struggle made* the more.
desperate by the fact that the North as a body
I have become utterly insensible to all fear of
the dissolution of the Union. Threats which
once intimidated them, are now heard with
supreme indifferenee. Whether this fact is
to be regretted or not, it is a fact which can
not be denied, end it will have its marked
effect in the conduct and sequel of future
sectional controversies." . ,
What has produced so great a change in so
short a time I The question is easily ans
wered. The change commenced with the
annexation of Texas, and has kept pace with
the series Of outrages ending in the Kansas
perfidy. Very slight links now hold us to
gether, and the aqiniSsion of Kansas as a
slave state will seem to help on, and may
suddenly prdipitate a dissolution. What
then 1
far We hear of more than the usual
number of serious aecidehts- on the
water this spring. A young man
named Simpson Furman_ was knocked .
_from a raft while going Over a dam
on Pine Creek,' and drowned. An
other; whose name we have not heard,
was drowned by the staving of his
raft somewhere near the county -line
on Pine Creek.
On the Allegany, as Nie' o • learn from
the Olean Journal, Col. Barnes, vho
was going down the river with his
family on his way to a new home 'in
the West, in trying to land, caught
his foot in a coil of rope and mangled
it so that amputation was necessary,
and his life, at last accounts; was in
great danger.
THE BURNS RIOT TRIALS
BOSTON, April 12.
In the Circuit Court this morning, Judge
Cuitis delivered an opinion in the case against
Theodore Parker and others, to the effect
that the indictments were void, on the ground
that the process was not sufficiently set forth
in the indictments; that it was not alleged the
Commissioner on the .Burns case had legal
cognizance. All the accused Were therefore
ordered to be discharged. The result was
received with tokens of applause by the spec
tators.—N. I'. Erc. Post.

that the charges of the -Daily Advertiser are
substantially Well-fontided. The nuns them

and in their wrath, some of the leaders of the•

through the lodges, by means of speeches
made and, documents read there, they can
command a public, - or 'rather a party opinion
which is independent of the newspapers, and
enables them to dispense with and even to
defy- the press. -
There can be no doubt that the newspapers,
have, from this cause, lost a good deal of their
influence, which has been superseded or
counteracted by that of - the -secret councils.
But the power of the press is not yet wholly
goite, and a general combination of the lead
ing journals of Massachusetts against the
Know-Nothings could hardly fail to overthrow
the party.
The anti-slavery branch or off-shoot from
the Know-Nothings, the Know-Somethings,
is multiplying rapidly, and bids fair to eblipse
in New-England, at least, its parent stock. It
has been organized in Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and, in short,
in nearly all the northern tier of states. In
Massachusetts alone it has nearly a hundred
Councils in operation. A number of men of
distinction and influence, who have steadily
kept aloof from Know - Nothingisni ' have
joined the new order, which is said to be
much more liberal than the other, and' does
not proscribe foreigners at all. Among the
members to whom I allude, are some of the
umq prominent democrats and freesbilers in.
the State.
Yesterday the new order held its quarterly
State Convention in Stacy hall in this city.
It was a numerous and highly respectable

high rank from Worcester county presided.
Eleven delegates and as many sub-,:tinites, one
from each congressional district, were chosen
to the Know-Something National Conven

a harmonious session, the Convention ad

TRU UNE ANNIVERSARY
The completion of the fourteenth
year of the New York Daily Tribune
1-1' US noticed yesterday afternoon by
the " Tribune .Club," consisting of
most of the Proprietors, Editors, and-1
Reporters of the establishment, a large I
number of whom dined together at
the Irving House. Although absence
from the city and imperative business
within it prevented the attendance of
a dozen or more, there were still
thirty-seven persons at the table, of
Nvimin thirty are directly empleyedin
editing and reporting upon this sheet.
Beside the very agreeable ceremony
of inauguratin ,, the fifteenth volume
of the paper, the occasion was one of
additional interest from the fact that
the Editor-in-Chief, Hen.ter, GREELEY,
leaves this morning for Boston, whence
he will, on - Wednesday t sail. for Eu
rQpe to join his . family,.. attend the
opening of the I,,Vorld's Pair in Paris,
and perhaps spend some 'months on
the Continent. The gathering, there
fore, served the purpose of a general
I leave-taking, and Mr. Greeley was
entertained as a guest. After a very
excellent . Maine-Law dinner, Mr. G.
made a short speech, indicating some.
of the leading characteristics of the
I Tribune, and presenting the ideal of
what he hoped the daily_jourualand
this in particular—would be a few
years hence. Six or . seven of the
Assistant .Editors were successively
called up, and - after a pleasant session
of three hours, the Club adjourned to
the "never ending ; still beginning"
labors of pencil, pen and scissors.—

that I.have not,at all times lived- as a

the greatest sin of my life is the bury
ing of the little talent-Goa gave me.
- But I. at 'length resolved, after years
of toil, to amass wealth, to return like
the prodigal son,. and if possible dig
up the buried talent. To this. end I
settled my-business in Louisiana r and
had been waiting two days (in conse
quence of contrary winds) to cross
the Mississippi, intending as soon as I
possible to return North, offer myself
to God, and t h e remainder of my days
to His service-. But as Ileft the house
of a friend on-the 19th to go for my
horse, which was in a pasture in the
lower part of the town, I was met by
a slave-hunter and his dogs. He im
mediately drew a revolver, threaten
ing to fire at me "if I sti. - red or made
a :noise. Others came, and I was
marched off the constable's. office.
The whole town was soon assembled,
and the procession marched to the
School-house, where I was informed
by thcr magistrate that I had been
charged with aiding slaves to escape
from their masters. After a brief ex-
lamination, in which many witnesses
were sworn, all of which had seen me I
talking With; or known of my hiring
negroes on Sundays or evenings,
though`this is a common practice for
the people of this country; but the
difference is, I are from the North.
Written *passes were found in their
possession resembling my-hand-writ
ing; ink and paper like mine. With
this kind of evidence I was committed
to jail, nu one daring to speak in my
behalf but a petty lawyer from Mis
sissippi. The -citizens of - Waterproof,
fearing the evidence not sufficient to
condemn me, formed themselves into
a mob, threatening if I got clear that
lynch law should be called upon.
Some said, Hang him; some Shoot
him; and some said, Give him a thou
sand lashes .ou the bare back. A
native of Ireland was arraigned on a
similar charge; but three days were
given him to procure counsel. His
trial goes off this morning. if he is
cleared be will be obliged to leave the
country.
. The cause of my being arrested, a 3
stated by Mr. Perkins, the negro
hunter, is : A man in Mississippi, hav
ing .discovered a trail of runaways,
sent. for him_ to come with his dogs
and catch them. He went, and caught
them, after running them thirty or
forty miles. Upon overtaking them,
they all ran up the fence to get away
from the dogs: He asked them who
they belonged' to. They gave him a
fictitious name, at the same time pre
senting • passes, which he- read ; but
being a. villain at heart, Perkins took
' them down one at a time, and set his
dogs on them. The negroes, after
being torn in a !hocking manner,
promised if he would desist they
would tell -the truth. The dogs being
taken ofF, the negroes made the fol 7
lowing . confession "We belong to
Mr. Dunkin,•of Louisiana, and the
overseer, Huggins, whipped us nearly
every night, because,being new hands,
we could not pick cotton enough. We
stood this as long as we could, and
then ran away. We went .to Mr.
Davis's woodyard and told him our
complaint. He let us hide in the
wood, carried us bread and water
until last Saturday night. He baked
'us some bread, gave one of us a pair
of shoes, another a hat, another a shirt,
a quilt, for us to — sleep under, some
money, these passes, set us across the
river in a canoe, one at a time, and
told us to go towards sunrise." .• But
getting entangled in the swamp, they
were overtaken. Each 'negro, 'after

Si.klit , ath morning, Sept.. 23.—My
heart yearns to be with you, but I
cannot. On examining my hearr,
find a sort of cold: indifference pow('
vading my whole soul. I fear my
heart is_not right in the sight of God.
I read my Bible, yei it is with an -
abstract mind. My thoughts seem to
be all bent on getting away from this
place ; for I cannot feel that I havo
done anything worthy of imprison- _
merit. My• attorney says it wilibe
hard case, on account of prejudice
existing against abolitionists here ; if
convicted, that I will not geroff with
seven years' imprisonment, he thinks.
And now, after hearing what I have_
written, I ask my brethren and sisters
in the fear of God, if a man should
come to you presenting a. lacerated
back, exposed to the rays of - a South.
ern summer's sun for want of -a shirt,
feet bleeding from- having been tom
by snags and briars, hungry and faint,
whose crime was, he failed, after
straining every nerve to perform the
labor appointed him, I ask, would
you—could you—turn him away with
out assisting him : ?' No, brethren, I
think I know you too well—l think
you would hand him a loaf of bread,
part with some of your • surplus
clothing, or if you had no surplus,
buy some as I did—help them across
the river, point them to the star of
Liberty, and bid them God speed.
But either of these—even to give him
a piece of bread—subjects you. to a
prosecution, the penalty of which is
not less than four or more than seven
years in the State prison : -
If you could be on the plantation
near \Oleic I have liN'ed, and at night,
when - the cotton is weighed—out of
two hundred not less than twelveare
whipped every night. 0! could you
hear the shrieks, cries, groans, pray
ers—yes, if you could 'see that victim
on his knees pray with all the earnest:
ness a man is -capable of, to that
brutal overseer, and promising to
strain every nerve on . the morrow to
pick more cotton—it is enough to melt
the heart of any one. Who can look
on such scenes as these and not be
moved? I3fethren, I cannot. And
now what more can I say ? Have I
done wro4 , . ? Have I done more
than any 'inan ought to do ? - Dear
brethren, I leave you to judge, and am
willing to be governed by your de
cision. I wait with the greatest anx—
iety to hear from you, to know vrhether
I shall receive your sympathies and
prayers, or whether I have done wrong,
and am considered a heathen. If the
former, I can bear my affliction with
fortitude ; • - but if the latter; I feel that
my life hangs by a slender thread—
that my days are numbered. In the
meantime, brethren, , pray for . me.
Sisters, remember me in yOur:prayers.
I would far prefer the grave to

could procure of me five years of

chains, but this depends on 'the skill
of my attorney, or neglect Of my op

paper in my possession is nearly .
covered over. And now, brethren,
when you meet to pray for heathen
lands, remember, 0! remember our
