"To love and to labor, is the sum

they live, who neither labor nor love."

The sitting down, folding up one's
hands, anal moping away one's . life in
a 'vain yearning afthor . affection, will
never do any good.

COL. FREMONT is thought to be the

San Francisco. Messrs. Palmer, Cook,

undivided half of the tract, and Col.
J. C. Fremont the ether, which many
persons believe makes him the richest
man in the world. Col. Fremont
bought this immense gold region iii
1646, fin the sum of $3,00G, and was
laughed at for the recklessness of his
investment. It has already yielded
some thirty-five millions. et dollars,

COUDERRiaRT, POTTER COlJiT'ir, - PA - .; JUNE_ 12, .1856:
There are some facts not generally
known or not clearly considered ; and
one'iS, : that the City and the State - of
NeW-York have furnished Kansas
with at least, two thousand citizens,
who. Will compare favOrably with those
of any other State as :men of energy
and moral worth.' 41arge proportion
of theni were sent there through the
exertions. of the : New-York Kansas
League, which, unknown 'perhapslo
• the public generally, have been inces
santly laboring for the cause the last
year and a half. Their books show
that what has been said above is
true, and that many hundreds of Per
sons 'from other States have been
added by them to the good • cit.-
izens of Kansas. This has been
_effected by their collecting and giving'
authentic information, and securing as.
convenient,, safe and cheap passages as
possible. -This work, through public
ignorance or some other cause, has
not been sustained by the friends of
Freedom at large, for Money enough
has not been contributed in all that
time sufficient:to pay half the cost of
an office; and yet the men who were
intrusted with the important enter
prise from the commencement, have
made their arrangements to persevere
in it in future, and will carry .it througli,
even if left alone, as heretotl)re. Cap-.
ital, however, is wanted for saw and.
grist-mills, agricultural implements, -
and the means of 'defense, and every
security is offered fur the proper ap
plication of all funds. Friends are
invited to call at the office fur infer
illation. •

It is with extreme regret that 'we
observe the daily intensifying • bitter- ,
ness of party strife. WO nevo, saw
any thing like it before. • Exciting
political contests are common enough,
but there is something truly devilish
in ;lie ferocity that is: now exhibited
in some quarters; While, as to the old
virtue of coui•lcsy, the very tradition of
of it seems to have glided from the
memories of some of our public men.
This is all wrong. That public man
who :so far forgets what is due io his'
oppbnent, to himself, and -to his con
stituents, as to use insulting or con
temptuous langua,se in the discussion
of public questions of high import,. iS
no true repreSentative of the Ameri-
can people:
The other day, fur example, Mr.
Douglas, of Illinois, had occasion to
say something in reply to Charles.
Smnner, of Massachusetts: Instead of
refuting his opponent in fair aro- .
India, Douglas spoke of Sumner's
speech as -"a'patcliwotk• bed-quilt,
made up fromall the old calico diesses
in the lMhse, and abounding in .classi
cal allusions, most Of Nv liieh ivOre from
those portions of the elassics which
were suppressed in respectable and
decent colleges. That speech," con- •
tinned Douglas, - "was written and
committed to memory; practiced be . -
f.tre a glass, a negro hey holding a
candle and watching the gestures". It
was rehearsed to fliends, and they re
peated in saloons of the city What he
was going to say. Those fibers and
insults, so groSS and vulgar, had been
conited •over and written with coul'and
deliberate malignity, and repeated
I night utter night )u order to find the
appropriate grace with which to spit
them at'frien Who differ 'from him."

THE DEATIVOF bib, KEATING.
The death Of this venerable man,
serves more than an ordißary.obituary
notice. His funeral yesterday„ atten
ded by a large number of our most
-distinguished citizens, born witness
to the high social position which Mr.
licating had -attained in this commu
nity.. He had. reached the." remark
able age of ninety-Six years, and re
tained, to'the - very last nioment of his
life, the full posSession. of his mental
facultios, having, within a week or ten
day's,•attelided the meeting of aboard
of whictr he ivas a member, and aCcu . -
rately•and intelligently discharged his
duty. How long, a century of indi
vidual appears—,though small
enough in the measurements even of
human history. Here within a fort:
light we, have been meeting- in our
daily walks a living man who was
born nearly a hundred years ago—
born while men we read of, as of the
past, were existingborn NS' hen Fred
erick the G-dat. was :fighting, and
Chatham was speaking, and Vohalms
was wiiting—born forty years before
Walpole died, and who had raached
the ripe age of sixty years, when
G-dorge the 4th wa3 crowaecia man
who-has seen Washington and Frank
lin,- and was nine years older than
Napoleon! This seems very- strange
and very impressive, and yet it was a
simplornth, easily realized as we saw
and Saluted this courteous gerit!eman
iu nor habitual intercourse. Mr.
Beating's career hail peculiar and
picturesque interest. Born in the
year 17430,:he VV . a3.for Enveral y - ears of
his youth in a seminary ofßenedictine
Monks, at Douay:• He there received
the accomplishments of education, and
retained to the last of active life—
(indeed it became Moro manifest - in,
his old age)—that gentle grace of
manner 4, the fruit of early association,
which we are taught to believe . was
the charac:erikic of the ancient Cler
gy of France. Oa leaving College,
Mr. Keating; having inherited a noble
title, entered the• military service of
his`Sovercign, Nvas trade et knight of
the order Of St. Louis, and rose to a.
distinguished rank in the army. We
think we have heard. from hi 4 lips the
iecollection of being preserifed as an
officer of the French Guards to• Marie
Antoinette in her last days of bright
glory and enjoy Mont at Versailles. Nit.
Keating was, of coursor,in those. days,
an earliest Royalist. The throne was
in his heart consecrated by duty, by
gratitude and religion; Being• detach
ed on foreign service, heescapad the
bloody horrors which hung round the
downfall of the French Monarchy,. and
on learning the Cite of all he held
dear in Europe, emigrated and settled
in America. Once at. least he visited
France afterwards, and, such :Were

FAREWELL. ,ADDILES4 .. OF ; TIM COUNTY
SOPERLVIEDRNTi. TO THE ISCILIOL
CBTEiDit EN OF POTTER COUNTY
'D This isthe last day
that I shall ever be' your Superinton-.
dent!• • I have had the pleas'uie of visa
Ling nearly all of you several times • in
your. schools, and • of talking -to you
about your - duties . and your studies;
.and now I wish before I-go away, and
.see you
.no more, to write a few words
to you with my pen. You will find
these tiords, : printed in.the newspaper
and I wish ynu to ask your Teachers
to
.1-ea& them to you . , .
Children,, you, attend school that
you may grow wiser and better. You
du not go simply to learn how to read
•
and write.. and. to recite lessons to
your teachers. You should also learn
to - be obedient, faithliil, kind and,truth;
and you should be willing LU study
.because it will strengthen and improve
• . .
your minds, and 'make you more use
: ful and happy.
To help youln.doing these things,
will: g ive, you some,, short .rules,
which I liopi3 4 you will try to- uuder.
stand and remember, Pe:haps,. your
teachers 'will sometimes remind you
of them. These are the rules: .
1. Alway.s. obey. your Teacher. w * ill
ingly andinlikedititely , * . •
2. Always lie kind andrespcetful to
your Teacher_.. *
. . -.
3. lie kind and obliging to each,
other. . . * * •
4.. Try to, attend school every
day.
Always be inschoul : in season.
.6. • Always g • your lessons in:sea
son.
. 7. Never tell a lie, or deceive, or
do any wrung
8. Do, not use any profane or lode-
cent language. •
•9. Always use proper %vordi, and I
talk and read distinctly.
10. Always try to understand what
you read and-study.
11. Always be williug.to, learn from
those wiser than-yourself. •
12. Be good aid obedient at home, '
or you will nut, be so at-school.
Children, if you keep these rules,
you will, be happy; if you .du nut, you
will be miserable. The mot impor
tant of these rules are the first and the
last. Children. who do'not obey and
respect their ,Parents aud - Teaeliers,
will not,do anyth.ug else that is good;
and, when they grow up, they will
not - respeet.their rules, nor obey the
laws of the country, or of God. They
will thus become- wicked, dangerous
and unhappy. •
•
• I hope .therefore. children, • that
you will choose the path of obedience .
and of goodness, and you will find it
in the end to be a path of pleasautness
•
and of peace.
But. there isanother Teacher, child
