ine themselves the rank and file of the govern

With such a man as a Candidate, irrespective
of his qualifications—regardless 'alike of his
ability and rexPericncees a statesman, they
have succeeded to power. by force of the pop

was elected by virtue of General TaYlor's pop

Wm. F.,Johnston was too wary—too snspi:

Commonwealth, to-rely upon - his ewn merits

to sail military Chieftain to marshal his
party.. For this reason was General • Scott
brought forward for the Presidency by the

people are so inactive that ourcommon schools,
in many instances, con:le - nearer being a, nui

are atilt plodding on,' under the old worn out

improvements in the common school system

Many. of our best and most enterprising ioang
men who are eicellent teachers, are,driven off
to other employments in conseqamicti of there
being no call for their labor, ;Atid he.nee it is
that the - present . aPplicants for ;teaching, are
frequentlY thoSe of superficial attainments : and
quite deficient in reafqualification. , The poo
pie consequently employ such, thinking that
there are no others to be found'; arid gaage
their salaries, accordingly, .The saleries, paid.
for 'teachers in our county are inmost instan

er& Teachers have to spend much time and
money in making theinselres masters of their

ar • We clip the [folio - wing speculations
from the Hairisburg traion,in reference to the
next 'meeting of Congress; and matters' and
things in connection therewith '
.
WisurNwrox, Nov. 3, 1841..
As th'elession of Congress npproaches,there
are rzerrous iroitching,s among the present in
cumbents of the offices in' the 'gift of the !two
branches. Rhtation in office is one of the ra
dical principles of the Democnley, and when
exceptions are made, they are only to Prove
the rule, exceVio probe: regulum. ,Tho Clerk
ship of the House scents t o be. cenceded to
Mr. Forney.. For the . . other minor placee no
candidates are fixed on with certainty, (those
named are legion,) nor, probably' will any thing
be done until,the whole matter ht definitely ar
ranged by caucus. • . •
With regard to the Senate, it is supposed
there will be very little change. The present
Secretary of the body has, managed.the whet()
business of his office with so much abilityland
zeal, and is withalt:so general a favorite,ithat
his re-eleclion appears to be taken for granted.
The first door keeper and,sergeant-atarms is
the only' officer that will certainly be changed,
and that effected, the chances for all =others
remaining will be greatly strengthened. ! At
the commencement of. a
the 30th Congieis.—
Mr. Benton introduced resolution to suspend
the rule for going into election of Senate 'offi
cers on the 2nd Monday of December, and as
his voice Was then aspotential as the Duke's,
it %vas adopted without a dissenting voice, and
has been adhered to ever since. In fact that
gentleman always refused to go into caucus
for the nomination =of officers, and by his influ-
once defeated the desire of a branch of the
party to effeet changes ; but he is now no
lon
ger. a.Senator, and that influence usually %vie'.
ded,with so high a hand is clean gone. Mr.
Downs, in-one, of his speeches at the close of
the late. session, in reply to sotpe of his (Mr.
B's.) remarks,quoted upon him That memora
ble passage of Mark Anthony:
.• ,
" But yesterday the word of Cm:stir might •
Have stood against .the_ world ; .now lies' he
r
Ltricre,
And none so poor'to do hinrreveience.'
I italicise the word "there; because Ur' D.
emphasised it' pointing at
,the same time. to
wards him. Mr. Benton •is now actively 'en.
gaged with the memoirs of the last thirty years
Of his life being determined that we shall have
a book, to loch -upon witch he is dead and (cone
••
and if he eoulossibly write without • preju
dice and bitterasperity, it would, no doubt, be
a' valuable acqUisition to any political library:
It is said that after he finishes this work; he
will bid adieu to ,Washington, and join 1 his
sons-in-Law in California, where they are - said
to have bedew° immensely rich by speculation
in gold mines. •
The next Presidency is a subject which al
ready begins to excite consideration and a
good deal of discussion atnong our Democrat
