,Men who are Bight oat always to be
Bold
Whatever adverse politicians day ariy, :the
last phase of the Douglas moviment t Which
began in the glorious contest at - Charleston,
raid ended in the utter defeat of the Dikanion
fsts at Baltimore, promises to be vonclacted to
the close with splendid energy. 'The foreesof
the Secession'sts, struck with dismay at the
pluck of the Douglas Democracy, have drop•
led intimidation,taid now seek, by cunning sug
gestions, to decoy the latter into a disgrace
,hi compromise: They propose that no Doug
las electoral tickets should be run in South,
and in the North to put Breckinridge and
Douglas men upon the electoral tickets, with
a condition annexed by which, if the majority
•eboald be for DOUGLAS on these tickets, or the
I reverse—this to be ascertaiued by 'printing the
:tickets in a peculiar .way—the whale vote
should be cast in the • Electoral College, in
'December next, in accordance with this arran
gement.
A more shameless scheme never entered in
;to:the head of any one but a dependent of
niito present corrupt Administration.‘ The
efriends of Doccus in the North would never
.tOach a ticket soiled with disunion, especially
when called upon to vote for Mr. BRECKINIIIDGE
„whose name is used to destroy and degrade
:their gallant allies in the Southern States.—,
We are gratified to see that the Nationit
,Democratic Committee, which assembled at
Washington on Tuesday,adopteitamong others
,the following explicit resolution :
Resolred, The crisis demanding that the or
gardiation of the Democratic party shall be
preserved intact againdt open as well as secret
enemies of the Constitution and the Union
that is therefore recommended to the sever
al State Committees that they take measures
to secure the adoption of an dedoral ticket in
their tespectire States pledged to tho toequirocal
support of the 'now:lbws of tee !VII tioml Denu.
erotic Conrenlion—Siereen A. Doug,las' and
Hersehed Johnson.
This will probably result in two electoral
tickets in Pennsylvania—one pledged to Dot-G
-tts, the other to the Disimion candid
BIZECKINRIDGE. In this way the strength of
the two divisions of the Democratic party will
be ascertained. Among the electors on the
ticket appointed by the Democratic Conven
tion at Il.;.'ading, in April !a_% are a number of
Disunionists. The question is whether they
will withdraw in consequence of the •resolutitin
of the "National Democratic Committee. We
understand that Mr. F. A. SERYER, the elee
i.or from the First district, in this city, who is
a notorious opponent of Judge Docci..“, and
a follower of the Admiuistratioo--aed there-
fore the open advocate of 1.31 e.cxixtuncE and
\ disanion—has acted the manly part of with
desaing his name from the ticket. It would
be well if others entertaining sentiments in
unison wifh his would follow his example.

THE REIIL Issue.--So far as there will be
any contest hr the approaching, Presidential
election, lies between Mr. Lincoln and Joe
Lane ofVregon. If the President shall be
elected bytthepeople, as now seems almost
certain, Lincoln inevitably must be chosen.--
It is utterly impossible for any other man to
obtain a majority of the electoral vote. Owing
the peculiar political character of the House
of Representatives ; it will be imprac:ieable for
any part to obtain a clear majority of the
States, and consequently there can be no elec
tion. It will devolve upon the Senate to
choose between the two candidates for Vice
President, who will be unquestionably Hamlin
and Lane. The Senate, being largely Demo
cratic, wilt immediately . elect Mr. Lane for
Vice President, and the Presidential ,office
being vacant, be will at once become President
It is entirely out of the question for -Bet
Douglas, or Breckiuridge to , sueeeed, In all
human probability, Abraham Lincoln will be
chosen by the people ; if he is not then Joseph
Lane will be next President. It is between
Lincoln and Lane that the people really have
to cheose.•
• THE SouinEEN DEMOCRACY, as the " signs
of the times" indicate, will rally almost nuan
imously for Breekinridge and Lane before the
summer is over. The defections from the
Douglas ranks, commencing with Fitzpatrick,
their nomittee for the - Tice Presidency, are
already numerous. , Every day witnesses ac
cessions to the slave l eode banner, and corres
ponding desertion from the Douglas side. The
lawof atomic affinities isdiminshing the strength
.of the Squatter Sovereignty faction. The three
Judges of the Supreme Court are said to be
earnest Breckinridge men, and, of course, the
same may be affirmed of the Democratic Jus
tice of the United States Supreme Court.—
The great purpose of the Democratic leaders
evidently is ta. prevent the election of a Presi
• dent by the popular vote—in which contingency
Joe Lane would have a good chance of lac
ceeding Buchanan.
DROWNED Owsco.—The Owego Times

of. On Saturday last, with his clothes,hat and

Catlin's residence, and attempted l to walk
across the river. He reached w ithin a few rods
of the northern shore when he got beyond his
depth, and after plunging about for some time
sank to rise uo more.

perate and rational commemoration of the day which
gave our nation birth. About one thousand persons were
present. The assemblage was presided over by lion.
Gra. Lassxm. Prof. O. 6. DEAN delivered a welt-written
oration, and Hon. DAVID Wzr.mor made an eloquent and
stirring address. B. Lam= and Hr. LsEboli were also
called out, and delivered spirited speeches.
The Company then partook of a bountiful dinner which
had [been prepared by the ladles of the vicinity. The
Laceyville Band was present, andadded to the interest of
the occasion by excellent emir: The proceedings were
characterized by the utmost harmony and decorum, and

Resolved, That it becomes the duty of every patriot
and lover of his country's good to use his best exertions
to redeem the nation from the disgrace which has fallen
upon it through the corruption and machinations of a
profligate administration which has been false to party
professions, ano doubly false to the highest interests of
the nation, employing corruption to envy out the darkest
schemes of disunion, and seeking by the patronage and
power of the Government to force Slavery upon the un
willing inhabitants of Free Territory.
Ravin* That the adoption as the settled policy of
the country, the principles promulgated at Chicago by
the Republican Contention. are necessary for the advan
cement of our own national prosperity of our free iusti

follows : Prof. C. B. Comets, W. WSLLac Bourses
and Mkss Maxnaxs. Ettiorr. A partial report was sub
milted through Prof. COtitTsa, and was on motion adopt
ed. The Committee on resolutions reported the follow
ing series which was accepted by the Association :
Reilblred, That it is vain to expect or hope to have our
schools attain that degree of perfection arid usefolne.4
which is desirable and attainable, under the present sys
tem, until parents amid guardians evince more intercs4 in
the education 01 their children, by secuna: their regular
attendance, and by way of encouragement to visit tiic
schools frequently, owing as much energy in encouraging
the children to learn as they now do in epposing the
school system.
Resolved, That we highly approve and commend the )
resolution passed at the triennial convention of Directors
at Towanda, recommending Directors to grade the wages
of teachers according to the grade of their certificates,
their experience aid the size of the school.
Resolved, That in many of oar largest and most popu
lous district; there should be at least one graded school
in which any scholars in the districts may pursue the
higher English branches.

mittee on Programme, which was sdbmitted by Chair
man COrBY and accepted upon this Order of business,
first came a method of teaching Geography, which was
very slily illustrated by Mr. Amt. Itocxercu.. •
Dr. Buss was called and responded by giving a clear
and comprehensive system of reading, in which he main
tained that class reading was deficient in spirit and profit.
His theory was, that different lessons should be assigned
every pupa. grid that no one should read until his lesson
was carefully read by the teacher. A theory commend
ing itself alike to the good sense and jadromq of every
intelligent mind.
Prof. Coarts here stated that cards had been publish
