After a fashilt° quite as telling as the

power of the institution,provingthat the very
course adopted by its friedds for the perpet;

reiidering it powerless ; that political death,
death by suicide is now inevitable. We re

battleground of the two antagonistic social

providental. Ire appears just when orgm

• Mr. cob() shows that existing laws prohihit
the importation, not only of slaves.x, hut-of ne
°gives bound in service Of, any kind, for any
period - . The first section of the act of 1807
provides: • '
• "That - froin and after the first day of Jan

labor."
Mr. Cobb treats as idle the pretence that
the Africans prOfeSsed_ to be imported are to
be free, and if they were to be so, their itn
ort.stien,woutd be contrary to the- laws
. of
nearly all the.slave States; The Charleston
Aterthiry says:
•" The whole letter shows What we have re
cently ,asSerted,:that to reopen the African
slave trade; (and, the apprentice system is
that trade,only under another name,) wheth
cr wise or not, is impracticable in the Union.
Even if the la* oflBo7 did not exist, the
Northern Representatives in Congress would
.pass laws effectually- to prohibit the reopTen:
.ing of this trade, in any ,form whatever.' On
this account, we - haVe deprecated the agitation
on the subject, as . tending only to divide the
South, without- the yossibillty, of having any

denounces " all professed democrats who fel

would Like to be infornied by what authority`they

It, teachers are authorized to open their schools id
any way they please. They may do it with singing.
or reading the bible, leaving .it 'without. comment in
the ordinary Tay,'but they jnay pray any Sentiment,
doctrine, or explanation they Rlease, after reading it.
Now, it strikes me, Okla manifestly improper, if
not illegal. The practice otopening eommon schools
with prayer has been, I think, - wiselydiscarded by all
true friends of common scloie education. it is a
wonder to me ithat our Directors'sliould fall into such
an error. Our schools should be guarded from all
sectariatkinitiertges, for the obvious reason that they
are supported by all ,de.nominations, and each one
does not want another's creed forced upon chit.

_ Moreover,the law in this State requires the Direc.
,
tom, sit lire teachers, to meet and determine each
year " upon a series of school books, in the different
branches to be:taught the ensuing year; which books
old no others, shaH, be used In the schools of the
district during said period."

great interest in my account of the affair, and will
not fail to attend the next annual meeting, if life and
health are spared. ' . .'-- •
As there are many persons to whom the details Of
this &d pioneer's life are of interest, I will briefly
make a statement of some of them. -...... '
Nathan Bacon was born at-Bristol, Litchfield Co.,
Ct., May. 28th, 1778. At the age of 16,,he removed ,
with his father to Windsor, Broome Co,. N. Y. Be
was a soldier in they. S. Army from li9s toso3
was at Cincinnati in ';.lB—no frame house there,tlien,
and not much village. There was. a small fort on
the opposite side of the river, called Washington.—
He traversed the wilderness from that place to De
troit—was at Erie when there was but one frame
house there—spent one summer at Oswego—was at
Rockester when there was no „house there—was at
Fort Nittgara and:vicinity some three years- , -asiisted
.in Making a military road from Lewiston. across the
eountry.to Carew ic.,, , k. and Niagara river, some
miles above the Falls. That - ccumtry-,141..,, covered'
by a dense, heavy forest, is now occupied by spicit;
did farms. Ile helped raise the first frame house in
'Buffalo, in 1799 or 1800—McHenry's tavern house. •
During most of his servieedn the`artny, he filled
the post of Sergeant major, and was much employed
as a bearer of dispatches. e did not sleep on a
bed-during the five years o his' service, and but
rarely-in a house, Gen. Slilkinson Was. his com
manding officer—Tfamtrancklhis Colonel, and Arm
stead his Major. A few years since, he received his
Warrant for bounty land-10 acres. yrom Goy.
Snyder of this <ate, he received commission of
Captain of the militia. , I
. 1
In Septerhbet, 1804, he was married to Sarah Nich
ols, (whom everybody know and respects as Aunt
Sally) born in 1782, with whOm fur 54 years . he has
lived in the experience of unalloyed happiness. -
In 1807 he removed fromßVindsor, to a point on
the Tunkhannock, Creek, three miles below here, go
ing.
n across the. country hiniseif with an ox team,
while hifi family Went around by the river, in two ca
noes lashe&togetber, with taptatfortn on the top. l -7-
From the.mouth di the Creek they came up on an .
ox-sled, the only mode of conveyance by land at that
time. _
There were bin-few settlers here then—Zebulon
Marcy (the settle Mr. Miner mentions ; I suppose) Jas..
per Billings, Stephens„ Felion—at now dead; and
Esq. Bacon is now the oldest surviving inhabitant`
this section of country:, Samuel Oakley, Jesse Ste=
PlienP,and a few others who were boys then, still sur
vive.
Esq. E. used to go to Wilkesbarre and Pittston in
a canoe to mill and for provisions--principal fare was
venison and juhnny-cake. -
lie wassthe first .f , istige of the Peace under the
present organization of this township—from
,1816 to
1827- . —When he resigned to become Posunaster,
which taco ho.held 22 years; till 1849, when- Post
master General Collamer appointed another man in
his place.
i ch ols on fonnetly included much of Susquehanna
and Wyoming counties within its limits. At one
time, by repeated diminutions, it was reduced to 35
tasables—it now has the-largest number of tasableo
of any in the county, And pays the highest tax.
tsq. Bacon is a pioneer of 61 years—eight in
Broome county, five in the army, and fifty-one here.
Ile is the father of twelve children, eight of whom
are liviit—has fifty-three .rand-children,•iirid six or
seveir-great-grind-children. •
No history of Pioneer life in this lection would be
complete without a sketch of him ; and I liove a
some future time, to furnish you further incidents in
regard to.him,-and•other " old residenters."

Notwithstanding all the billing and cooing
betwe'en the' Douglas interest and the Aidinin
istration, which has been observed here fur
some time past, they have 'at last come to
points and thrown away tlie - seMbard. This
result was_ long since threseen to be inevita

tertained by the President, ,and how deter
mined he, was to Make* no compromise that
would lei ego resentment—for the crusade
which the Senator from Illinois led in Decctn
her last. The order from , the: White House
was to crush him out at every hazard, even
to imperilling the success of the party, for to
bitter was the hostility, that the ,success of
Republicanism was regarded as a preferable
alternative to the triumph of Douglas, even
with the rank and file of the-Democracy at
his back, The nominations at .the .Spring

raF The Easton Daily Time: says: The
Democratie party of Schuylkill County met
on Monday last at the COurt House in Potts
ville, and,.among others, passed - a series of
resolutions recommending a modification of
UT Tariff. It is the opinion of the mrty—
" That a jadicions tariff upon foreign manu
, thcture - S - and products, that enter into dompe
tition thb manufactures and products of
our own ebuntry, is essential to the best in
terests of Pennsylvania and the prosperity
of her pedple,• By 'a "fadicious tirttr" is

I •
classes on AttiCrican - soil Ia full and • fair op
portunity to make labor honorable as well as

Col. CrOstend, prie of the speakers at the
meeting,. thought the .Democratic • party; of
Pennsylvania-should take hold of the tariff
question in earnest. •He thinks that the par
ty should select good mend V represent' it,
and endeavor , to produce i result .favorable
to the wholelaisiness of the Commonwealth:
He feelingly alluded tn.-the difficulties our
laboring classes are suffering from and traced
them_ to the fact that our public men do not
always work for the gobd of their, constitu
ency. The break;-doWn in business, the
speaker contended, was the result of contin
ued tinkering with tile, tariff, .constantly redd
cing it, rega;dless, of the interests of the bus
iness men engaged in producing the great
staples of Pennsylvania.. "Our inountains
and hills are filled-with iron and Coal! Out'
wallies - and plains are cnvered with . harvesti
and herds;!_tuid must tj,ur -- laboring popula
tion starve for the want' of work when FDP
er laws discriminating,fa little in favor of
Pennsylvania's hardy sons would set it all to
rights'!" ,
The pemocratic party olSchuylkill Conn
typo expect very little sympathy with'thetr
peculiar views upon this: subject from thd
Deroocraof of the tnion. The National
pemocrati(Party is coMmittedto jre trade;
the free laborer of - our Mate, who seeks
protection from sthe ruinous competition of
half paid labor nukst look for it elsewhere.
;But the Schuylkill Democracy differ from .
the National Democraey in another import
ant particular. They adhere to the "Squat
ter Sovereignty" notions of. the DemEcratie
party of 1854. They; hold---" That the peo
..plo of nTerritory have the ;right to. 'decide
fairly at the baliotJua.v. upon, all'proviston.s of
a constitution; .beforii 'Congress 'shall -grant'
their application to berincotporated-into our
