policy and the eourse most productive of good, will be to pay for his whole time j and services. In such cases more than half of the year may be moat beneficially j devoted to school visitation, which, to be j effectual, should be full and frequent. The rest of the year can be profitably devoted to the improvement of the Teachers in one or more Institutes of greater or less duration, to the officer's own improvement and to the preparation of his reports. tc. ( In smaller counties a less portion of the officer's time will be needed, and the sala ary may be in proportion; but in all cases enough should be given to secure his whole time and efforts to the service of the | schools while in operation, and to the im- ; provement of the teachers during a por tion of the recess. The only other general principle to be kept in view in arranging the salary, is that of making it large enough to com mand the very best professional talent within the reach of the Convention. For reasons already given, no other should be thought of. The man, then, whom Law, Experience and the Wants of the System demand for County Superintendent, is: A practical Teacher, tcho is also an accomplished j scholar, and a ready public speaker; with sufficient love for it to undertake, and < energy to perform, the great work before him: and the salary should be sufficient to compensate him, as far as money can. for the efficient discharge of so great u labor. Wherever such a man is found, he should be selected. Wherever he has al ready been found, he should be retained. At the present time it may be proper to recall to the attention of Conventions to elect Countv Superintendents, that Section 40 of the school law of Bth of May, 1854, confers upon the State Superintendent of Common Schools, very considerable pow ers in reference to the commissioning of the persons elected. The words alluded to are these: "If objecljpn be made within thirty days to the issuing of such commission, the Superintendent of Common Schools may require such evidence, uuder oath or affirmation, in regard to the election or qualification of the person elected Coun y Superintendent, as he shall deem necessa ry, and shall then issue his commission to the person properly qualified who shaii have received the highest number of votes." Under this provision it is competent for any citizen, and it would seem to be his duty, to make objection to the commission ing of an unqualified person, and to set in operation, for the good of the system in this respect, the powers vested in the State Superintendent. In view of this fact, the true course for Directors in their Conven tion will be, to vote for none unless such as by learning and professional skill are iully qualified to discharge all the dn ies of the office-— Penn'a School Journal for April.

We made none at any membera of the American party except those who are ; np " for sale or charter," and the sooner they take ground of open hostility against the Union nominations tbe better. They may have a right to lay dormant " for a season," er as long as they please, but they have no right, by seeking to retain tbe confidence of the American party, to lay dormant for ffie purpose of being able to strike a blow in fa vor of locofocoism immediately preceding an election. Let them show their colors and the ; people will then know where tbey are. If thev design aiding the clan who last fail gave j Pennsylvania into the hands of the very men whom these out-and-out Americans denounc ed as tbe "foreign party," tbe "Catholic par tv," and everything else in the way of epi thets that could be found in the English vo cabulary, let them say so—we don't dispute their right nor their taste. If they do not so design, but wish to aid the only movement that can further the cause of Americanism, * i then are they taking a strange course to bring about such a result. Without casting any reflection on the Aurora or its course, for we ! ' ! do not know what its editor intends to do, let us illustrate this by his own example. He was a delegate at the Altoona Council, and voted for a resolution in favor of a ticket to be formed out of the elements of tbe opposi tion te patent democracy. Subsequently he j was present and took part in the Union coun- ! ty meeting in appointing a delegate to the j State Convention. That convention met and nominated a ticket which is acquiesced in by almost every delegate that was present, whether American, Republican, or Whig.— The President of the State Council endorses j it; the candidate for whom the Aurora had declared its prefeience (John C. Kunkie) en dorses it; and the delegate from this county endorses it. Such being the facts—and be : knows them to be facts—we leave him to an- ; swer for himself whether his position is equivocal or not? For our part, we say again that had tee had the making of the ticket, it I might have been different, but as wc had not, and differences of opinion had to be recon i oiled and centered, our opinion is that it is the duty of all honestly opposed to the men and measures connected with the spread of sla Tery and in favor of reform in tbe emigration and naturalization laws, to support that tick et, because any other course will only befriend and strengthen Packer A Co. The Aurora may make as many " flings" | at us about opposing his reverence John J. Pearee as it pleases. We had, thank fortune, no lot nor part in sending him to Congress, and think now as we did then that it reflected little credit on tho:-e who had, whether con sidered in a religious, moral, or political view. He is however politically dead, d , ar.d buried, and, therefore, let him rest " in pace." American Republican State Central Com mittee.

LOOK OUT FOE THE NEW RAILROAD. —A corps of engineers yesterday commenced making a survey of the proposed railroad from Lewis town to Bellefonte. The party started at the railroad across the river, and yesterday after noon were in Water street working their way nerthward. Once out of town, they will probably make rapid headway towards the Seven Mountains, where we suppose the tug of war between Science and Nature will be gin. WEATHER. —The weather continues cold and stormy, with (yesterday) occasional snow squalls, rendering the season about as unplea sant as a scolding wife or nineteen crabbed children in one family. At the meeting of the Mifflin County Ag ricultural Society, held in the Town Hall, Lewistown, on Wednesday, The President of the society, A. *arshbarger, Esq., being absent, the meeting was called to order by the election of the following offi cers: James McCord, E-q., Prest.. pro lent., E.

Wayne tp. District, No. 1,1 March 10, 1857, j Mr. G. FRVSINGER : We desire to do jus tice to all—"to wrong no one," is our motto. JOSEPH 11. BRATTOX, of Oliver tp., has taught our school during the past four months, and the last day, he was visited by a great num ber of parents and spectators. The scholars delivered addresses on various subjects, much to their credit and to the credit of i their beloved teacher. Mr. Rratton is a gentleman in every respect, and as a teacher, is industrious and attentive, which was fully demonstrated to those who were present at the exhibition. At the olose of the exhibition Mr. B. delivered a very appropriate and feel- I ing farewell address. The County Superin ! tendent paid no attention to our schools.— j We see he disapproves of teachers who fol low other professions part of the year. Now, Mr. Bratton farmed in the summer, and taught in the fall and winter, and all agree he is among the best teachers in our district. There is also another teacher near us who fol lowed farming in the summer, who has a right to be applauded as an excellent teacher. We acknowledge our school has been visit i ed three times by the County Supeiintendent —but twice he asked no questions, and the other time, the questions put were of no ac count ; therefore we believe that officer had better be dispensed with soon, and apply the j money to schooling or paying the State debt, j We see the Superintendents' reports all give four or five schools that they failed to visit on account of snow drifts. Now our roads have not been shut up so as to impede travel, since the Superintendent was appointed.— But, besides, certainly where the children can go, a man getting SSOO ought to be able to go too. The reports also assert that those who are opposed to the Superintendent system, are also opposed Common Schools. This is positively untrue. WHARTON S. D. W.
