Although the opinion 'of the masses in this county is generally conceded to em body the true principles of govermentnl policy; and it ..is- very rarely that it does not; yet if the efforts that are sometimes made by designing men, through the me dium of the press and otherwise, by means more ingenious than honorable, to warp and mislead :the public judgment, were often to prove successful, it might have to be deplored that the passions'and prejudi ces' of the people were moro easily infla med by-gross misstatesments and incendi ary appeals, than their reason and' judg ment were influenced by self evident fact nnd logical argument. But it is fortunate for the people of this country that those daring and unprincipled attempts occa iionally made in our midst to manufacture public opinion, are uniformly met by the •'sober'seccind thought" which invariably restores public sentiment, if perchance it become unsettled, to its equilibrium, with in a reasonable time, and before its aber atinns cause any permanent mischief. The public mind at the present time may be considered-as undergoing such a reaction on the question of admitting Kan sas under the Lebompton constitution. At :he time the question was first raised in Congress, in the debate on the annual mes qtge of the President, the people were un prepared to meet it, in the phase it then assumed. They were well informed, it is true, upon the doctrine of allowing the people of the Territories to form and reg ulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States." That principle had been widely and comprehensively discussed within the few preceding years. The last presidential campaign had been in a great measure fought - upon it, and its u:ltrocatea had gained a glorious and tri umphant victory. Hence no doubt seem ed remaining in the minds of democrats, if any had ever existed, of its entire cor rectness, and its complete accordance with the letter and spirit of the Federal Consti- I tution, and the' intention_ of:its framers. But it had never occurred to Them that a Idestion might arise among the people . of Kansas themselves as to the mode and titne,of framing a constitution, or that diould such a question arise, that it could - assume any other than a purely localainumeter. Consequently when-that very question arose thus unexpectedly, and became the leading one in the Nation al Legislature and assumed its recent for - midable shape, it is not to be w 3ndered at, that numbers of the most ardent advo cates of democratic principles were at its first ;presentation amid, its accumulated 3omPeations, led to form:erroneous opin ions upon it. Such indeed Ilas been the history of all, or neatly all, of the great -measures of the democratic party, when first prop osed; measures which have, ma ny of them, long since become the settled policy of the government no matter by what party administered ; and we need-go nourther back:than the recent passage of the Kansas Nebraska act for an instance. It is well remembered by us all how many dissenting voices there were throughout the country to the expediency of that Measure, _When first introduced into Con. gress ;- and yet in a little more than two years thereafter, a President was triumPh - antly . electedalmo t upon that issue alone. :.The.People„ O s t 4 a majority_ of them, had in the mean while, upon sober reflection, be -1 come convinced of the entire expediency and constitutionality of the measure. That such will be the case with the pre sent Lecompton question, although it is :one of mere expediency,is as certain as th • it has been the case with some dos& oth ers ofvastly more importance to the coun try: In fact the importance of the Lecomp ton question is mainly due to the efforts of Senator Douglas and the Philadelphia "Pleas," to manufacture a current of - Pnblio opinion to favor their course and disparage the National Administration. -,The position that both occupied before the eduntry, one as a leader in the demo- Gratie ranks and an influential member of thehigheatlegialative body of the nation, and the other as • a leading democratic .7ournal conducted by a gentleman of ack nowledged editorial capacity ; and .who had-been long , and 4intimately connected with the democratic party of Pennsylva i ,nip, and the whole country, was eminent: ; ly favorable to.their designs.

In the meanwhile the time arrived for as sembling the fourth of March convention in this State, at which it was hoped, nay confidently predicted by the enemies of the administration, the heavy doses of an ti-Lecompton democracy administered to the people by the. "Press' would result in a tremendous outburst of indignation against President Buchanan, and those who approved his Kansas policy, by that body. But alas ! for the vanity of human hopes, but one single Vote out of one hun dred and thirty three delegates to the con- Vention, and all in their seats, stands re- 1 , Cotded against the - resolution sustaining the President, and endorsing his Kansas "The sober second thought" had doing its work. The people had already begun to compreltond the true ground of the opposition to Lecompton. Since that time the opposition to the admision of Kansas has assumed a phase that-is-calm lated-to enlighten them still more:. The union of all the decayed political organ iza tions north and south which have hither to opposed the national democracy with the new hot-bed exotic :of anti-Lecompton democracy, shows conclusively, that selfish Abition and the all pervading desire among repnblicans,, know-nothings, and abolitionists, to effect the overthrow of the party which has so long held them in check, were the great motive powers in opposing it.. This was too plain to be overloOked even by the anti-Lecompton democrats, and the result was that when the question of unconditional rejection came up in the house, it was lost by a large majority. And although the Sen ate bill could not be passed, became many of the members who really desired its pas passage, (as is clearly indicated by‘the fi naLresult4 would. have been compelled -to recede from the position they had taken early in the session ; yet it led to the ap- pointment of the committee of conference and the introduction of Mr• English's bill in their report; which was finally passed by both branches of Congress and has recelv. ecl the executive approval.

The President, from motives of humanity, believed it to be his duty to make an effort to induce the deluded Mormons to refrain from opposing the au thority of the United States, and to give them an opportunity to retrace their gfiips.

I have been thinking, and talking, about the' impropriety ofOirectors keeping their schools, in their districts, during the Normal School. l Last year a large numbtr of schools were kept during the Normal School. This is wrong.; Those teachers are employed, that most need the instructions of the Normal School. Dime tors in thus employing teachers are acting in consistent,' for why do they wish or impose upon the Superintendant the extra !Aber oft teachihg, and then employ their teachers to keep thorn away I said we should all be interested, and throw off our indifference ; the interest of the Com mon school system ; demands our attention. Other counties are advancing ; their sons and their daughters are having advantages; ‘vhich will enable them to stand un an equal with their fellows. In attending these institutes, it is enough to move the coldest and most insensible, to witness the eagerness with which 'teachers a vail themselves otthe priviteqs afforthat,_atni_ their anxiety to profit by the instruction thus brought home to them. The; Normal School I believe to be an important auxiliary, in ad vancing the school system, and our interest in it should be such as to make it the stepping stone to the establishing,- in our County, a State Normal School.
