Resolved, That general intelligence among the people is the oulv guaranty of our institu tions. Resolved, That we recognize in the common school system, a scheme well calculated to subserve the educational interests of our state, if pro|erly modified and carefully carried out. Resolved, That by throwing the burden of education on each separate district, the gener al character of our common school system is destroyed ; a< well as its general utility. That we believe the leading and chief principle in our common school system to be— that the pro- If ft vof the State shall educate her children ; and that all shall be taxed alike for this pur pose. Resolved. That the views expressed in our county superintendent's report on the inequali ty and therefore unfairness of our present mode of taxation for school purposes, meets our ap probation ; and that in our view this defect in our school law, more thau all else defeats its general usefulness. Resolved. That as a convention, represent ing the common interests of Bradford county, we resjKvtfully but earnestly call the attention of the head of the school department at llar risburg, to this question for a decision : trust ing to his deep sympathy for the success of our common school sy.-tem ; his j*-rfeet know led ere of the original design, aud thorough acquain tance with the present working of this public enterprise.

That we believe that onrcommon school system cannot be entirely sueee-sful. s< long as tin ri vretary of the Commonwealth :- at it- head ; and that we recommend a speedy separation and a distiuct organization of the school department. Resolved, That the present deficiency of onr schools is mainly attributable to the absence of good teachers : and as a teuq>orury exjxdi c.t to :• iprove them, we request our county sup rln".- dent to hold or cause to be held iu the townships of the county a TEACHERS* IN STITUTE of five days duration. This to be an ; additional duty to be imposed upon that of ! ties. Resolved.

Confident as w•> are th re fort of Atgml btwft resulting therefrom, we request onr superintendent to lecture on. and explain this subject iu every school house in the county whore the people will come to hear him. R -.-olved, That we believe the duties of the county superintendent of this county to be more ; severe, requiring as much mental and more : phy-kal labor thau any other county sniierin tendeat in the State ; aud scth.g aba that through the muiiificiuie of our Legislature the salary of this officer dxs not increase our tax. does i.or diminish in any degree our share of the stare appropriation to the - - of this county, and is iu no wise any audit otiai cost to the c•: ry or its tax-payers, we iuiivase the salary of our county superintendent to ffteen ! hundred dollars per annum.

" RESARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANT QUARTER." [For the Cradford Reporter.] - COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. MR. EDITOR : In the report of the proceed ings of the late School Directors' Convention, published in your paper of the 4th iust., I tiud myself classed among those who voted for the increase of Mr. OUTER'S salary. A little ex planation may not be improper. I opposed the increase of his salary from first to last, and at all times when opposition could avail anything. After a resolution to increase his salary had been passed, which resolutiou I total against, the alternative was presented as of making that salary SIOOO, or SISOO. I voted for the latter smu, stating in connection with my vote (as your reporter has correctly stated) that I be lieved it would hasten the of the law crea ting the office of county superintendent. I be lieve so still. Either sum would !>e an out rage. But had it been fixed at SIOOO, the people might have borne with it and submitted to it for a year or two, when it would ha\e been a precedent and pretext for another grab at the school funds of the county. Now, I think, they will see the outrage so plainly, and feel it so keenly, that they will arouse them selves to such action in the matter as will at an early day relieve them of the whole tiling ; and thus in the end it will be a less burden than would have beeu the SIOOO salaey. Could the other counties of the State lie made to sec and feel as sensibly as we must and do the odiousness of this law, not a man would be sent to the uext legislature ex PLEDGED to its REPEAL. Already the friends of the measure are en deavoring to quiet the minds of the people and hush up their indignant uiutteringsby announc ing the editorials of the Argus, that it costs Bradford County nothing. But will they be lulled into submission by such a brilie ?

It was not necessary, therefore, fur him to withhold any of that appropriation for emergencies, for there were none to meet. Again :if it f.- not ail expended, we sbaii have more for another year, unless it be voted to the county su|-erin tendents ; for that appropriatiou cannot fail back into the general fund—cannot be unap propriated except by act of the Legislature.— The school system is a continuing system, and what belongs to it and is unexpended oncy ar is on hand for another. So much for all this "blow" about the $30,000. 1 hare seen fit to say thus much with refer ence to the reasons given for increasing Mr. GUYER'S salary. I will hereafter redeem my promise to examine the practical workings of this branch of the late school law, and give some further reasons for opposing the increase of his salary. Yours, Ac.

Three slaves belonging to him were j sitting at his side on the upper deck. Just as the last signal-hell was ringing, Pass- j more Williamson came up to the party —do- j dared to the slaves that they were free—and J forcibly pressing Mr. Wheeler aside, urged them . to go ashore, fie was followed bysomedozon j or twenty negroes, who by muscular strength ( carried the slaves to the adjoining pier ; two j of the slaves at least, if not all three, struggling j to release themselves, and protesting their wish to remain with their master ; two of theneoro ! mob iu the meantime grasping Col. Wheeler by i the collar and threatening to cut his throat if j he made any resistance. The slaves were borne along to a hacknev coach that was in waiting, and were conveved to some place of concealment : Mr. William- : sou following and urging forward the mob ; I ! and giving his name and address to Col.

I allowed a writ of h beas corpus at the in stance of Col. Wln-eler, and subsequently an ' alias; and to this la-t Mr. Williamson made 1 i return, that the persons named in the writ.

He has chosen to decide for the law fulness as well as the moral propriety of his act, and to withhold the ascertainment and vindi cation of the rights of others from that same forum of arbitrament on which ali his own rights repose. In a word, he has put himself in con tempt of the process of this court and challenges its action. Tiiat action can have no alternative form. — It is one too clearly defined by ancient and honored precedent, too indispensable to the administration of social justice and the protec tion of human right., and too potentially invok ed by the special exigency of the case now be fore the court, to excuse even a doubt of my duty or an apology for its immediate perform ance. The cause was submitted to me by the learn ed counsel for the respondent without argument, and I have therefore found myself at some loss to undersaiid the grounds on which, if there be auy such, tin v would claim the discharge of j their client. One only has occurred to me as. ! perhaps, within his view ; and on this I think it right to express my opinion. I will frankly \ reconsider it, however, if anv future aspect of j the case shall invite the review. It is this : That the j>ersons named in this j writ as detained by the respondent, were not legally slaves', inasmuch as they were within i the territory of I'cnusylvania when they were : abducted. IV atving the inquiry whether, for the pur- j 1 >oses of this question, they were within the territorial jurisdiction of Pennsylvania while passing from one state to another uj>on the na vigable waters of the United Stales—a jioint ou which my first impressions are adverse to the argument—l have to say : 1. That I know of no statate. either of the j United States, or of Pennsylvania, or of New j Jersey, the only other state that !as a qualifi ed jurisdiction over this part of the Delaware, that authorizes the forcible abduction of any jicrsou or any thing whatsoever, without claim of property, unless iu aid of legal [>ro cess : 2. That 1 know of no statute of Pennsylva-, nia. which affects to divest the rights of pro jK-rty of a eitizcu of North Carolina, acquired j and asserted under the of that stat \ be-: cause he has found it needful or convenient to pass through tiie territorv of Peun-vlvania : 3. That I am not aware that ativ such I >tatute. if such a one were shown, could bo 1 recognized as valid iu a Court of the United States. 4. That it . thing to do with them ; they may give Ictu support and comfort before an infiniteiv higher tribunal: !do cot impugn them here. Nor do i allude, on the other Lund, to those j special claims upou onr hospitable which the diplomatic character "f Mr. Wbed- j er inig.it to assert f-r aim. 1 am doubtful whether the acts of Congress do not rive to him a\d his retinue and his property that prot"c tiou a- a representative of the sovereign tv of the United States which thev cone:-In to a!! sovereignties Ix-sides.

There is hut one way to preserve the healih, and that is to live moderately, take proper exercise and he in the fresh air as much as possible. The man who is always shut up in a close room, whether the apartment be a minister's study, a lawyer's office, a professor's labatory or a merchant';; gaslight store, is defy ing nature, and mu-t, sooner or later pav the penalty. If his avocation renders such confine ment uecessary during a portion of the vear he can avoid a premature break down of the constitution only by tukiug exercise during the long vacations of the summer and winter mouths. The wa-te of stamina must bo re stored by frequent and full draughts of mountain and sea air, by the pa: sat of the sportsman, by travel, or other similar means. Every man has felt the recuperative effects of a month or two of relaxation knows from Ids experience how general its influence on the spirits ; how it almost recreates him, so to speak. Between the Ld brought up to physicial exercise in the invigorating open air, and one kept continually at school or at the factory, there is an a by-.- of difference which becomes more more perceptible every year, as manhood approaches, the one expanding into stalwart, full chested health, while the other is never more than a half completed man. The advantages of exercise are as great to females also. 11 that we have said about pre serving in the man is as true to the opposite sex. But this is not the whole. The founda tion of beauty in woman is exercise and fresh air. No c smet!es are equal to these. The famous Diana of I'uietiers who mantained her loveliness until die was nearly sixty, owed this extraordinary resnit, in her own oji nion, to her daily bath, early rising, ami her exercise in the saddle. English ladies of rank are celebrated, the wi>r!d for their splendid persons and brilliant complexions, and they are proverbail for sheir attention in walking, riding, and the h urs spent daily out of doors. The sallow check-, stooping figures, susceptibility to cold, and almost eoustant ill health, which prevails among American wive- and daughters gent rally, ar-to i e attributed almost entirely to their -ed. ntary life. ar; l to the iufirmiuity caused by the same life on the part of their parents. A woman can no more become beautiful in the true -cr-e of that term, or ever remain so, with' :t plentiful exertion in the open air, than a plant can thrive without light.
