the law of last winter that money could not
have been drawn.
Our Representatives, had they endangered
t | l( . passage of the act, would not have I e?n
faithful to the interests of their constituents.—
We presume it never entered the mind of any
man in Bradford, when this law was passed,
,] iat it affected this County. The School
director's Convention had fixed the salary at
which was quite as liberal as most of
t ] r Counties. The increase of the salary we
warinlv opposed. We considered it uncalled
f.ir and unjustifiable. It lias destroyed the
ilfu ieney of the office in Bradford and created
•i prejudice which years cannot eradicate, llut
to attempt to hold our Representative responsi
-1,1,. f o j- that increase, is not warranted by the
1" the first place they supported the
hill allowing the School Directors to abolish
the office, if they saw proper. This having
been vetoed, they would have been doing wrong
to incorporate in another bill a provision of
the me character, which would only result in
having it vetoed.
The law of last winter, in itself is not olh
noxious to any censure. Any privilege of the
kind it confers, however right in itself, may be
abused. If the Directors of certain counties
wished to increase the salary, it was right they
should have the privilege. By the eighth sec
tion the whole matter was left in the hands of
the School Directors. Although an undue ad
vantage has been taken in Bradford, we be
lieve thev are competent to attend to the School
interests of the County. We publish the Bth
section, that our readers may see how much
care was taken that the privilege should not
he abased.

The Governor has already indicated that lie
will not approve a law abolishing the office in
a few counties. The only way to settle the j
matter is hy repealing the law creating the
office of County Superintendent. This our
candidates tell you they are willing to do.
TAPSMORE WILLIAMSON.
During the session of 1847, Col. PIOLETT
was a nieiuber of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture, and voted for a law which makes a slave
free, when voluntarily brought by his master
into this Commonwealth. Yes, Col. PIOI.KTT,
the pro-Slavery dough-face of the present day,
was then a pestilent abolitionist, for he voted
to remove the last relic of Slavery from our
statute books.
In July last, Passmorf. Wii.i.amsox, the
Secretary of the active committee of a Socie
ty incorporated in 1T VI2 by the Pennsylvania
Legislature for the "amelioration of thccoudi
ion of free persons unlawfully held in bondage,"
tlie first President which was that other aboli
tionist Bf.x.i. Franklin, was informed that a
colored woman and tliree children, were at the
Walnut Street wharf, being in the State <d
Pennsylvania. Believing that they were "mi
lawfully held in bondage," according to the
law passed by Pioi.ktt and his colleagues,
Williamson proceeded to the wharf, found the
woman, told her she was free, and she desiring
her freedom, was, with her children, put into
a carriage bv some persons of her own color,
and driven off. And thus ended M ili.iams-in's
connection with the matter, or knowledge of
her whereabouts.
Judge Kaxe having issued a ha leas corpus
directed to William-ox, requiring him to pro
dure the body of said Jane and her children,
he makes return that he has not now in his
possession, nor has ever had, the said Jane,
and consequently cannot produce her as re
quired. In this lie is adjudged justly of con
tempt of Court, and is committed to prison.
" without bail or maniprizc," there to remain
until he shall confess himself guilty of perjury,
instating what was strictly true.
The Republican Convention at Pittsburg, :
incensed at the attempt to make the sacred
writ of habeas err pus, in fact a Fugitive Slave
Law, —alarmed at this glaring encroachments
upon State Rights, by the assumption of powers
not appertaining to a Federal Judge—and
viewing it as another monstrous stride in the
march of Slavery-aggression—placed PASS
MORE WILLIAWSOX before the people ol the
Btatc fur their suffrages, that in voting for him
tliey might rebuke.the judicial tyranny usurp
ing such dangerous and unlimited power, and
testify their alarm at the aggressions daily
making by the Slave jiowcr upon the soil and
the rights of Freemen.
AV e shall give him our vote with much
pleasure. We shall do it the more cheerfully
because wc have every assurance that he is
amply qualified for the office of Canal Com
missioner, and wc have the certainty that lie
can Ih' no worse than those wc have been vot
ing for. We believe it would be fortunate for
the Commonwealth could the Hoard of Canal
Dmiinissiouers be composed of sueli men as
I'ASSMORE WILLIAMSON - , instead of the corrupt
mnl profligate politicians who make the office
•uhscrvieut to jiersonal and political ends.

Ax Incident.— The following " Incident"
I saw in tlie liclr'ulcrc Standard , and thinking
it very applicable to the " Old Liners" in this
county 1 forward it to you for publication.
>\ c have just been told an amusing inei
'' nt that occurred a few days since down in
Jartinsville the County Seat of Morgan
omity. ,\n extra train (one ear loaded) had
a engaged to convey a delegation of Old
'iners to a Convention held last week in
'siiklin. ,\s the procession approached the
' I K, t at Martinsville it was discovered that a
• a '.- r e white flag was living on the Locomotive.
. which was placed there by the engineer. A
near view displayed to their astonished vision
, a whisky jug, astride of which stood a negro
in chains, and issuing out of his mouth was
this significant announcement, " Bound for
Kansas." The army in Flanders did not swear
harder than this rampant band of Old Liners,
at this home thurst. One of them more savage
than all the rest, exclaimed, " Where is the
man that painted that flag? If lie dare avow
himself, I will thrash hiiu within gaii inch of
his life." Whereupon the stalwart engineer
stepped out upon the platform and said "I am
the man that painted that Hag, sir, and I am
not afraid of any bullying cowards who are
ashamed of their principles. The flag, gentle
men, expresses your principles, and you have
not the courage or manliness to acknowledge
them. No man who has not the pluck ito
stand by his principles and up to them, will
dare to fight. 1 fear none of you." And
sure enough there was no fight, but any amount
of swearing." E. B. G.

STANDING STONE TOWNSHIP.
At a meeting held in the School House in
Lats District No. 1 Standing Stone Township,
Bradford County Pa., on Tuesday Eveinng
Sept. 18th, 1855, pursuant to public notice.—
The meeting was organized by calling ASA
STEVENS Esq., to the Chair, and 11. W.
TRACY, was ajijiointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being stated bv
the Chairman, to take into consideration mat
ters concerning the County Superintendents of
Common Schools. On motion it was therefore
Restlved, That a Committee of Seven be
appointed by the Chair to draft Resolutions
exjiressivc of the sense of this meeting. There
upon the chair ajijiointed: 11. \\\ Tracv, E
L. Gregg, Geo. Stevens, Win. Kingslcv, Henry
Huff, Isaac 11. Vanncst, and Geo. Yaniiest,
said Committee.
After a very full and deliberate interchange
of sentiment by the citizens jiresent, it was
unanimously
Rest,lced, That this meeting do now adjourn
to meet at this jilace on Saturday Evening
Sept. 22, at early candlelight, at which time
the Committee was requested to report.
Saturday Sejit. 22, 1855. The meeting
convened agreeable to adjournment. The
jiroeeedings of the 18th inst., having been
read and apjiroveil of, the Committee on Reso
lutions, through their chairman rejiortcd the
following :
Resetted. That in the opinion of this meet
ing, so much of the law " For the regulation
and continuance of a system of education bv
Common Schools" as authorizes the School
Directors of the several counties of this Com
monwealth to meet in Convention at the Seat
of Justice in tlie said counties, to select Comi
ty Sujieriiitendeiits ought to be repeated. Ex
perience having fully demonstrated, that such
officers tend rather to embarass and derange
the Common School System, by coming in con
flict with the School Directors, and thus im
jiair and weaken, instead of giving strength
and vigor to it.
Rest.leal, That while we arc willing to be
taxed to defray the exjienses of Government,
and the education of Children, we are not
willing that money thus raised shall be seized
by " Hawks"—therefore we do most solemnly
jwotcst against having quartered upon the
Common School Fuud of this County a sucker
or leech in the form of a County Superinten
dent, thus absorbing SISOO of the poojtie's
money, thereby reducing the State appropria
tion, to so small and trivial a sum, as not to
be worth the trouble and e.xjiense necessary to
obtain it.
Rcsolced, That it would be worse than a
waste of time for tlie County Sujierintendent,
to visit this School District on his official busi
ness. The jiatrons of the common schools,
having become so entirely dissatisfied with
that part of the law, which creates the office
of County Superintendents, and the sujqde
ment thereto, by which that officer's salary
has been so shamefully increased, thev are de- j
teruiiued that all connection with that office in
the schools of this district, sh ill cease.
Which alter being duly considered and dis
cussed by many citizens jiresent, was unani
mously adopted by this meeting. Tliereujion
on motion of Simon Stevens, it was
Resilred, That the jiroeeedings of this
meeting lie signed by the officers and published
in the jiajiers of Bradford County.

ASYLUM TOWN'IISI l\
At a jiublic meeting held at the Sugar Run
School House, in Asylum on Saturday the
Sth day of Scjit. 1855, called for the jiurjiosc
of devising the best means for the improve
ment of our Common Schools, and taking into
consideration the subject of county Sujicrin
tendencies. AVAL TERRA was ajijiointed
President, PAI L Qnciv and AARON ELY, Vice
Presidents, and D. C. Miller and I). 11. Cor
bin, Secretaries.
Dr. G. F. TIORTOX asked jiermission to read
Mr. GI VER'S letter, written in defence of the
increase of his salary, as County Sujierinten
dent.
On leave being granted lie proceeded to
read the most iinjiortant (tortious of the letter
in order, as lie stated, that Air. GIVER might
not be condemned without a hearing in this
meeting. On motion the president appointed
John Morrow, Geo. F. llortonand J. W. Ing
ham, a Committee to draft resolutions exjircs
sive of the sense of the meeting. After some
discussion the meeting adjourned for one week
to meet at the same jilace, at 2 o'clock P. AL
Saturday Sejit. lstli. Meeting assembled
according to adjournment and the following
resolutions rejiortcd by the Committee, were
discussed and jiasscd.
AVIIKIO-.AS, In the ojiinion of this meeting,
Education is the chief corner stone of Repub
lican Institutions, and the grand bulwark of a
nation's defence against the encroachments of
bigotry, sujierstition, despotism and vice,
Therefore
Resolved, That it is a sacred and inijierative
duty devolving upon the State to jirovidc by
law, for the education of all the children living
with her borders, and that every good citizen,
and esjieeiallv parents, guardians and directors
should aid and encourage by every means in
their power, the progress of their imjiortaut
essential work.
Resolved, That while we have ever been firm
friends and advocates of the Common School
System of Pennsylvania, believing its jirovis
ions in the main, wise and salutary, we have
viewed the creation of the office of County
Superintendent as a measure of doubtful bene
fit—an exjKiisivc experiment not called for by
the exigences of the times, nor the voice of
the people of this Commonwealth.
Resolved, Though we do not expect a tree
to bear fruit in the year of its jilantiiig, yet
we do desire to see it exhibit some symptoms
of life and put forth sonic little buds, on which
to hang a liojie of its future value; but we
regret to say that for the past twelve months
we have looked in vain for the least jiroini.se
of renewed life and vitality in gur common
' schools, on the contrary the fact forces itself
[ upon our attention, that since our County
Superintendent entered upon the duties of his
office our common schools have experienced a
rapid and alarming decline.
lie-talced, That " the laborer is worthy his
lure" and we are in favor of paying just and
liberal wages to all who serve us, whether in
a public or private capacity, in order that we
may secure the services of able competent
men : but the increase of our County Superin
tendent's salary from live to fifteen hundred
dollars per annum, was, on the part of that
officer a " big strike," and on the part of those
school directors who voted so to increase, is
either a beautiful specimen of being generous
of other people's money, or a certain proof
that they are firm believers in the celebrated
dogma that the money comes from nowhere.
Ttcsdrcd, That as our County is one of great
geographical extent, containing a large num
ber of schools to be visited, and in considera
tion of the distance our township is situated
from the residence of the County Superinten
dent, thereby subjecting him, in his visits, to a
tedious journey, and much peril, from snow
storms and drenehings, we have concluded that
it would be but an act of simple justice and
charity, to relinquish our claim to any portion
of his future services, that might be due our
township, in favor of those townships, whose I
school directors voted to increase his salary to
fifteen hundred dollars. It being apparent
that his labors there must be more needed and
better appreciated than litre.
On motion it was /i 'endred, That Iho pro
ceedings of this meeting be published in the
county papers.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
