PROSPECTS.—We arc glad to be able to an
nounce to the Republicans of Tioga that Wil
inot's prospects iu the lower part of the State
are brightened, day by day. Even that Cot
sonlcd-city, Philadelphia, seems to hold out
some hope for Freedom. The friends of Wil
mot speak confidently of reducing the Know-
Nothing-Dcmocratic majority of last fall to a
comparatively low figure. Let them do that
and the rural district will put David Wilmot
in the Executive Chair of Pennsylvania.
News from Bradford gives ns reason to sus
pect that the Wilmot men in that county have
determined to wrest from Tioga the title o£
"banner county," which we won last fall.—
They promise a majority of 6000 for Wilmot
iu October. In the name of the Republican
freemen of Tioga, we say to the Republicans of
Bradford—"Do your best and Tioga will do a
trifle better /" Tioga sets her mark at 3500
and intends to roll up 4000. Our forces are
quiet, but determined. They will not surren
der the Banner without a struggle. We shall
march every able bodied man to the polls in
October and then and there contest for the
banner with our Bradford friends. Fair
warning, gentlemen ; a clear field and a free
fight ; every man for WILMOT and God for
us all !
We understand that Eric and Crawford in
tend to claim the Banner. Very well, gentle
men, mix iu ; Tioga will prove to be enough
for you all.— Agitator.
SiNT.n.AR ACCIDENT. —The Ilarrisbtirg-LI Tel
egraph says that on Wednesday night last, a
canal boatman, named Tomach, a resident of
Loyalsock, Pa., while sleeping on the deck of
his boat, came into collision with a bridge near
Highspire, which struck him on the back of
his head, and knocking therefrom the parietal
bone, which was found shortly after as free
from extraneous substance as if it had been
extracted by the hand of a demonstrator of
anatomy. The wounded man, of course, was
instantly aroused by the concussion, and what
is most remarkable, rose to his feet, perfectly
unconscious of the extent of the injuries he
received by the collision. The slight paiu in
the back of his head gave him no trouble what
ever, and it was only after he had dressed him
self, and one of his comrades had found the
bone on deck, that he was made aware of the
unfortunate mutilation of his caput. After
this discovery, the wounded man was taken to
Highspire, when Dr. Rutherford, of our city,
was summoned, who alter washing the man's
brain, and replacing i', and arranging the splin
ters of the adjacent parts of the skull in a pro
per manner, informed him that was all lie
could do for him. With this the wotlndcd
man departed, in a perfectly rational state, to
his home in Loyalsock. We doubt if the ex
perience of any member of the medical profes
sion can show a similar case to the above.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, a leader of
the party in that State undone of the Commit
tee appointed to inform Mr. Buchanan of his
nomination by the Cincinati Convention, has
made a disclosure of the President's opinions
which will excite surprise in some quarters.—
The political contest is raging hotly now in
Mississippi, and Mr. Brown is a candidate for
re-election to the U. S. Senate. At Yazoo,
on the 4th of July, he made a speech, in which
lie said :
" He did not believe that Mr. Buchanan
would suffer Walker to retain his place as Gov
ernor of that Territory ; but if he did, the
South would rise up and denounce hiui as false
to the great principles ol the Kansas bill, and
a traitor to her best interests. He, for one,
would do so, and so would every true South
erner. He had henrd it from the. Vresident's
nun Zips, Hint this thing of Squnite' Sovereign
ty irns one of thr most damnable heresies that
teas ever branched in this or any other county,
and tlwt he (the President) would leave nothing
undone to throttle it. Mr. D. had told the
Speaker this in all sincerity, and he beleived
him. Ife had no doubt but that Walker's ap
pointment itould be cancelled."
The emancipation party In Missouri, having
no candidate of their own for Governor, arc
supporting Hollins the American candidate,
as a friend of free discussion and less objection
able than Stewart, the candidate of the Bor
der Ruffian Democracy. The tide runs so
strong on this ground, iu favor of Rollins, that
the Democracy arc induced to claim that their
candidate is not opposed to emancipation.—
The St. Louis Daily Chronicle savs :
"It is quite certain that Mr. Stewart will
not oppose the gradual abolition of slavery, pro
tided that it will be done by legal means.
" It is not difficult to controvert the c' -.r.re
of our opponents, that Stewart is the candidate
of the slaveholders, and in favor of the exten
sion of slavery. Col. Stewart owns no slaves
he is not opposed to the gradual abolition of sla
very—-far front it! Ife would, bra along the

GEN. PACKER BACKS DOWN !
Last week we published a letter from lion.
D. WII.MOT addressed to (Jen. PACKER inviting
him to canvass the State in company, to which,
at the date of our publication, an answer had
uot been received. Since that titue a letter
has been received from (ten PACKER declin
ing the invitation. We republish Mr. WIL
MOT'S ehalleuge aud also the answer :
TOWASOA, July 14. IKS7.
HON. WM. F. PACKER :
DEAR SIR—I purpose to spend some time during tlie
Summer and Fall, in canvassing; before the people of the
State, the principles and issues involved in the pending
State election.
Party meetings bring ont only that portion of the peo
ple to whom the call is made, and the addresses are nec
essarily all on one side ; whereas it is desirable that the
whole people, so far as may he. should have both sides
fairly presented before them at the same time.
If it should meet yonr views, I propose that we can
vass so much of the State as is practicable, in company,
addressing alternately the same meetings. Should this
meet your assent, please so inform me at your earliest
convenience, so that we'may arrange the times and pla
ces of meetings, order of speaking, Ac., Ac,
Wry respectf illy,
Your obedient servant,
1). WILMOT.
WILLIAM SPORT. Pa., July 27,1857.
HON. D. WII.MOT:
Dear Sir Your letter of the 14tli inst. was duly :e
--ceived. and. as it proposed a plan for conducting the Gu
bernatorial campaign which had never hitherto been
adopted in Pennsylvania, and. as the interests of olhe
candidates were involved in the result. T did not feel at
liiierty to accede to yonr projwsition without tir-t consult
ing thefState Committee to whiuh the Democratic Con
vention had on its part specially confided the control and
management of the canvass.
You will receive herewith a copy of my letter to the
Committee, and also of their reply, by which you will
perceive that your suggestion does not meet their appro
val ; and that, for reasons stated at length. 1 ought not,
in the opinion of the Committee, " to accede to your pro
position." It is therefore respectfully declined.
I am, Yours trnlr,
WM. F. PACKER.
llv this it will be seen that Gen. PACKER
attempts to shift the responsibility of declin
ing; the fair and liberal proposition made by
Mr. WIRMOT, upon the Democratic State Com
mittee, for frivolous and unsatisfactory rea
sons, and to evade the odium which a direct
" back out " from himself would necessarily
briug.
The State Committee having the task im
jHised 011 them of devising excuses for the non
acceptance of Mr. WII.MOT'S proposition to dis
cuss before the people of the State the issnes
involved iu the pending contest, have set forth
a number of reasons which are too shallow aud
frivolous to require comment.
Firstly they assume that Mr. WM.MOT" pro
bably proposes to discuss the Slavery ques
tion," while his proposition is to discuss " the
issues involved in the pending contest ." Hav
ing thus set out with an unwarranted assump
tion, they say that a joint canvass by candi
dates for the Gubernatorial office has never
been conducted in this State, nor in any other
Northern one, and may well be questioned on
grounds of public policy. The propriety of
executive candidates appearing before the pub
lic at all is also doubted. While they depre
cate a joint canvass, they fear if once adopt
ed, a bad practice Will continue hereafter to
be followed ! and may sometimes deprive par
ties of candidates similar to FRAN Ki.ix, Sxv
okii and Sm/NK, because they are not orators.
They also say that while Mr. WII.MOT holjs
the office of President Judge there is special
objection to ttie acceptance of his project.—
What that special objeetiou is, is not made
known. Hut the Committee as if to make it
more emphatic, declare that a resignation will
not altogether remove the objection !
The proposed mode of conducting campaigns,
in the opinion of the Committee, may possibly
be suited to some of the Southern and South
western states, where it has been practiced
and where " population and political condi
tions ' differ from ours, but its introduction
bore, would be against solid objections and
without any conceivable good. It is there
fore a proposed " Southern aggression " upon
the practices and policy of parties in Pennsyl
vania, which cannot at ali be accepted or per
mitted.
Sueh is the substance of the excuses, fram
ed by the Democratic State Committee, to re
lieve their candidate for Governor from the
proposition to discuss before the people of the
State the issues involved in the pending con
test. Excuses which arc the result of delibe
ration and consultation. That they will satis
fy the public mind, we do not believe. In
deed, we know that they are regarded as un
satisfactory and humiliating by many of Gen.
PACKER'S friends.
A joint canvass by the opposing candidates
for Governor, has been expected and desired
by the friends of each. Such a course would
have been in opposition to no public feeling, bnt
rather-in accordance with general inclination
and approbation. The candidates of the two
posing parties are universally regarded as
the Lest debaters nod most jpopular speakers
in the Jt ti (though with
miich truth we csnot jay) that Gen,
PA<KF.R declared at * LAI 'f Win
slot was nominated, he would invite him £6
stump the State in company. Hut it is cer-
THftr t&ttt'M* a tfett&Tfltforc
and have universally declared that a chal
lenge from WII.MOT would be instantly ac
cepted, while the Locofoco journals have in
dulged it a course evidently intended to pro :
voke a challenge. There has been no paper
in tlie State, which has queslioned "tlie pro
priety of such n-eanVass, but tkeyj have uni
versally beeu indulging in anticipations of the
tcrrihl# overthrow JwLjtoy waf Uestiued-to re
ceive should he have the temerity to meet
PACKER ! We have no now, that
taking their cue from the State Committee,
these same papers wilt become eloquent over
the impropriety of sach a"• Southern aggres
sion.''
XI
The truth is, that it has never been tlje in
teutiou of Gen PACKER to accept this ehalleuge
nor of his friends to permit his acceptance,
though for far different reasons than those set
forth. The fancy oratory, the special plead
ing, the pettifogging, and attempts at befogg
ing, of the pro-slavery candidate would not an
swer the purpose when to lie met by Mr. WII.-
MOT. The friends of Gen. PACKER know that
in such a contest lie must be infinitely the
loser. They can impeach the motives of the
Republican candidate when he is not preseut
witli impunity; they can misrepresent his
views, they can impute to him doctrines he nev
er held, and perhaps thereby deceive honest
men ; but they fear the effect, his eloquence
aud earnestness, and his arguments might have
upou those who have been deceived as to his
real sentiments and the aims and principles
of the Republican party.
The State Committee and Gen. PACKER
and his friends dare not discuss before the
people of the State the issues involved in the
pending Gubernatorial contest. They affect
to believe that Mr. WILMOT designs to insult
the intelligence of the people of Pennsylvania
bv discussing questious which are settled or ob
solete. They pay a poor compliment to the
intelligence of that people when they assume
that they would tolerate the discussion of
questions irrelevant and not pending in the elec
tion. The action of the Convention which
nominated Gen. PACKER, and this cowardice
now, show that party orgaubuitiou and drill
are to relied on, rather than a confidence
in the, istice of their principles, and in the in
tegrity and wisdom of the masses.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTES.
It will be seen by au advertisement in an
other column, to which we call particular at
tention, especially of teachers and directors,
that the County Superintendent is going about
the holding of teachers' institutes or drills in
earnest. We cannot conceive of a better plan
for the improvement of our teachers, aud even-
tuallv of the schools, than this of calling to
gether the teachers of the several towns in
particular sections of the county, and drilling
them upon the branches to be taught, aud al
so ujion the best and most approved method
of teaching said branches. The Superinten
dent having had considerable experience in
schools or drills of this kind in the State of X.
Y.. will doubtless be able to render those to
be held in this county both profitable and plea
sant to all who may attend. We understand
that he intends to hold five in different locali.
ties so that the teachers in each township can
have the opportunity of attending one. We
hope no teacher will allow such an opportuni
ty to pass unimproved, if he does, he need not
complain, if after a while, he sees those who
tuke advautage of every means for improve-
ment, occupying the more prominent positions
in the educational field, while he is left in the
back ground. We are glad to see that the
elementary principles are to be dwelt upon, we
hope those who take charge of our schools
will to those first principles, until they are
qualified to teach them, before they are allow
ed to touch any of the more advanced sciences.
Directors cannot, as it seems to us, in any
other way, so well serve the people and bene
fit the schools under their care, as by taking
hold of this matter in earnest. The Superin
tendent cannot be successful in this undertak
ing, if left to do all that is to be done ; he can
not go to each town in the county and stir up
the teachers, the county is too large for him
to do this ; but the directors can, and we
trust they will do it. Let them see that every
teacher is not only notified, but urged to at
tend ; let directors also be present themselves
as much as possible ; let the people, the far
mers and mechanics, &c., the tax-payers in the
neighborhoods where these meetings are held,
occasionally call in and spend a few hours and
see for themselves what is going on. This will
greatly encourage all who may have anything
to do, either as conductors of the institutes,
or as teachers who come to lie benefitted them
selves iu order that they may in turn benefit
others. It would seem desirable that each di
rector in the several towns represented in the
iustitute, should be present at the examination
on the last day. We look forward to these
drills with much interest—believing as wo do,
that they arc calculated to do great good lor
our schools. We learn from Mr. COBUUX that
at the C-">veution of Superintendents lately
held at Rending, the earnest request of the
head of the School Department, was that
County Superintendents direct most of their
efforts during the coming autumn to the orga
nization and conducting of such drills in their
several comities, as is contemplated iu the ad

THE MAIN* LIVE. —On Saturday last, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company took posses
sion of the Main Line of the Public Works of
the State. The Governor has issued his proc
lamation to "the superintendents, toll col
lectors, officers and agents of the Common
wealth," announcing the transfer, but informing
them that they would retain their situations at
the expense of the company until removed or
re-appointed," and that their official bonds will
ensure to the use of the company.

A renewal of hostilities is unavoidable, though
Governor Medary, of Minnesota, is doing all
in his power to preserve the pcaee. The Se

How THE GOVERNMENT HELPS THE FILI.I
BL'STEBS. —Gen. Wool, who had command of
the California division of the United States
forces during the Pierce Administration, ex
plains how the the Government, while pretend
ing to great vigilance in support of the neu
trality laws, yet contrives to facilitate the
movements of the lillibusters. Gen. Wool, act
ing on the assumption tiiat his instructions to
that effect were given to be obeyed, and that
President Pierce's proclamation directing " all
officers of the Government, civil and military,
to use any efforts which may be in their power
to arrest for trial and punishment'' any persons
engaged in fitting out arm d exj e litions to
foreigu countries, was given in good faith, caus
ed the arrest and conviction of certain parties
employed in enlisting recruits for Walker, who
was then in Lower California, of which he had
taken possession, and proclaimed himself Pres
ident ; and in consequence of this disappoint
ment in the failure of his supplies Walker was
driven out of the Mexican Territory. The
Secretary of War (Jeff. Davis,) instead of
commending the General for his vigilance,
promptly subdued him theiefor and told him
that it was not expected or desired of him that
lie should originate arrests and prosecutions,
but only that he should support the civil pow
er when called upon so to do. The officers
in the civil department understood that the
proclamations against the fillibusters were in
tended as a cheat, and therefore took no uotiee
of them ; while Gen. Wool was kept from in
terfering by Jeff. Davis's special instructions.
This explains how the scoundrel Walker was
enabled to organize his Xicaraguan expidition
openly, without interference from United
States authorities.
