The Susquehanna County Normal School commencis its session at this place to-day. Its prospects, as evidenced by the large number of students in attendance, are quite flattering, and we trust that it will be so con ducted as to give entire satisfaction to both. pupils and patrons. Indeed, with such an t \ uspicious opening, we have every-reason to believe that it will prove popular among, and advantageous to our citizens. Every effort to disseminate knowledge, and properly train the growing mind of the community should be heartily encouraged and liberally suppor ted. The position of the teacher, as our own experience testifies, is one of grave responslibil ity; to correctly', mould and impress the intel lect committed to his keeping, is at once a diffiCult and an honorable task. The primary design of the Normal School is to fit young men and women to properly perform this task.

David Wilmot is advertised to . barangue he people in ditferent parts of the State, from his time till the 13th of October, on the sub- 'ecta:of Slavery and Know-Nothingism. By EDITORS. bis violent, and as he fancies, fascinating de clamatory power, he hopes . tVlecure votes enough,. to place him in a position which he lacks the ability and experience to fill with credit to hinarelf or the Commonwealth. It becomes the independent voter to enquire in what way Wilmot's election can affect slave ry ; whether as Governor of Pennsylvania, be could 'consistently witlrbis official oath inter- fere with that institution, and propßgate or restrict it.' We assert without •hesitation, !hat the questions growing out of slavery have nothing to do with our State affairs; and that all disc slims of the subject de signed to intlue e the voter in the selection of State Officer are inappropriate, and icre sorted to by etnagogucs for unholy pur poses. The rinciples promulged by the ; Democratic Pa y, in Convention at Cincin- uati, and advocated by its orators and presses during the Presidential contest, have received the endorsement of the voters of the Repub- lie, and been proclaimed by .the highest judi- cial power to be strictly constitutional ; while tl:e views .or the -opposition have been. pra nounced erroneous and dangerous to the peace and sell-being of the country- The question of hlaverrin the Territories, belongs to the people of the Territories,qpdtnuatlaiv4- 4,mr-nre mibjeCt, the independent sovereignty of Pennsylvania, could only interfere for its regulation and settlement tbroUgh.her Repre sentatives in that body.

The election of a State Government with reference to questions be longing to the Federal power has always proved, and will continue to prove, fatal to the rights and interests of the people. The Democratic system is beautiful and just be cause of its capacity and tendency - to reflect the popular will. Elect a man to office as the representative of the public sentiment on a subject, which in his official capacity he cannot affect, and the design of the dem ocratic theory is thwarted. Pemisykania,l New. York, Massachusetts and Ohio have each tasted the bitter fruits of this impolitic and unwise practice. Pollock was elected Governor to restore the Missouri Compromise and combat slavery; . the result is that his administration will be remembered only as the . period when corruption reached its cli max in the " Keystone," , and displayed its hideous features in the creation of an uncount ed number of "Rag Mille," alias Banks; in a gift of the public property to a mam moth corporation, and an attempt to sell the sovereignty of the Commonwealth. The Empire Stateinvested the negro sentiment with the scepter ef_power_and the result is TD - ner r otne - nrerropas is ilianit" the onar te red rights and privileges which its inhabi tants have enjoyed for a century. Massa chusetts yielded to fanatacism, and disgraced her stritute-books in , the eyes of the nation and the world, with a law under the captiva ting title cf. the "Personal ,Liberty Bill," which nullified a constitutional enactment of .the national Legislatire. Ohio took the ab olition monstrosity to her bosom; and while tenderly nursing the hideous thing, one of its conspicuous patrons thrust his band into her trea;ury and robbed her of nearly Itloooo,- 000. The " shrieks for freedom," and . the 1 1 deouncistions of slavery in which Wilmot and his associates indulge, constitute's cloak under which the arch demagogues hide their real purposese—while pleasing the popular ear with toteching appeals ,id behalf of op pressed humanity, and stirring phillippics against despotism in all its forms, these polit ical. sharks are mainly intent on robbing the people of their rights, and money. What cares David • Wilmoefor the misfortunes of Sambol His whole life proves him incapa ble of cherishing an honest political sentiment —a liberal idea unalloyed with selfishness.-- Ile opposed to the extension of slavery I Why he voted for the admission of Texas into the Cciiin, reserving to the South the right to erect fire new slave States out of the bounda ries of the "lone Star." Ile in favor of free speech ! Be voted to deny his constituents - the sacred right of petition. Ile ridicule popular sovereignty ! Ile voted for Franklin Pierce as the representative of that doctrine, 1 and the Baltimore platform which distinctly and unequivocally promulged it. And, yet, in the light of these facts, he is impudent enough to go before the people and proclaim with guttural solemnity that be , has . always been the faithful and consistent , champion of freedom. The democratic par ty does not-object to the discussion of slavery because it doubts thecorrectness of its posi tion, - or fears to defend its views. It is, how ever, contented with the decision of the Su preme Court, and rebukes those who set the laws of the land at defiance. Wilmot is one of that number; be is now discussing before the people a question which is not involved in the struggle for State officers; ho is at tempting to excite a prejudice against an authoritative jtulicialdecision. Let the peo ple, before whom he preaches his incendiary doctrines, remember that five ou'Vof six cans- . es carried from his court in this county last spring Were reversed by the Court above.— This fact will help them to place a proper estimate on the legal opinions of the "Stump Judge," who, is his vanity, attacks the Su preme Judicial power of the United States. fair . and ies. .113rA"NationalEaaaneiNtiotiConventista" less been in session at Cleveland Ohio. the avowed object is the liberation of slaves in the South.

The rr Pr aCtice of eaching his raral o it t of Wilm e.. vs. the It will 'be remembered that on the 10th of July last, Mr, Wilmot, for a mercenary pur pose, penned a response to the inquiries of the. K. N. State Council, in Which be fully endorsed'and approved the despotic doctrines '.of the "Dark I ? anterb party." Oa -the strength of that response several of*, lead eta and jouanalista of that party are striving hard to make him,Governor of the Common wealth. They • (somewhat ignorant `of the man's character,) have taken - him at his Word and proclaimed that he is the devoted friend and fit exponent of Native Americanism.— While his 'Phig Ugly' letter is quoted in the strong K. N. Districts as conclusive proof of his idhe4on to the doctrine that " Americans must rule America," the action of the 'late black " Republican" Convention of this coun ty is triumphantly referred to by his . friends here, as evidence of his and their disposition to place the naturalized and native-born citi zen on a political equality. t That convention as is well known, nominated a man of foreign birth for the office of Register and Recorder. bother to appease one wing °Melt party,and present a united front in their struggle for the spoils, the sworn enemies of the naturalized citizen and the•Catholie wow forced to make this nomination, though in so doing they dot:emitted amoral perjury. They hoped also, in this manner to cajole into the support of /Pat hininkt Wei since the institUtion . of the iniquitiouslodgesystem with its demoralizing machinery. Thus is the pitiful spectacle presented of the opposition candidate for Gov ernor travelling in the South Western coun ties of the State, abusing :and condemnino , men for the actident of birth, whilels dupes in this locality, acting obedience to his instructions, are endeavoring to elect to an important office, one of the very class of citi zens their master is taxing his ingenuity to render unpopular and odious. These facts firmly e ; _tablish, in the minds of most men, the conviction that our. opponents are willing to resort to any dishonorable expedient for the purpose of achieving a ttory ; that they will act in defiance of their professions and the prejudices they have carefully nurtured, when they fancy such action will inctease their chances of success. The nomination of a foreigner by the parasites of Wilmot,.taken in connection with that gentleman's "Plug Ugly" epiltle, presents an anomalous and musing caie. Said epistle is declared by said peasites to be orthodox, and to enun ciate just, correct and libe‘al principles.— Why, then, do they refuse to stand by those principles, and like honest, fearless WPC, go into the contest and by word and act defend them! Again, bow humiliating it must be to the meri'who Lave sworn in some den at midnight, to proscribe the naturalized citi izen and the Catholic, to be driven to the polls smarting under - the party lash, and compelled to vote in defiance of their oaths and prejudices, for a member of that much talked of " ignorant horde," attracted to our shores by the beauty and liberality of our Pea institutions. We do not, of course, re gard Mr. O'Neal as unfit for the office. for which he is named, because he happened to be born across the Atlantic : but we cannot help - thinking that those who. stereo to con -. of birth as attecti ng a man's fitness for a public trust, have exhibited gross and arousing inconsistency in_ nominating him for an official station. The leaders of the black " Republican" phalanx have no right to ask their " rank and filer to violate their oaths and, prejudices at the ballot-box, this fall. They have done this, however, in their nomination of a foreigner; and we are anx ious to know how they will reconcile the ac tion of their county Convention with the principles defended in the "Plug Ugly" document of their champion, Wilmot. As, their organ attempted to prove that their bargain with the Fillmoreites, as exhibited in the formation of a fusion Electoral ticket, was "entirely fair," we suppose the obedient hireling who pens . the insipid paragraphs for that delectable sheet, will exhaust him self in, the effort to convince the faithful that they oan support for office an imported Eng lishman without Violating the spirit' of the "Plug Ugly" manifesto. The task will be a difficult one; .and the performance will be no leas ludicrous than edifying: Walker's Calumniators. The Southern °hr.:lists and Northern agi tators lovingly coalesce with the very patri otic (?) design of crushing Governor Walker by abuse and misrepresentation, The Nashville Patriot endorses the diatribes of the .Ncw York Tribune, and the Neu/ Orrthes -Delta contributes its sarcasm to swell the torrent-of calumny and scandal with which they fond ly, but foolishly hope to hurl Walker from the executive chair of Kansas. Meanwhile the object of all this slang and fury-is quietly but firmly discharging his official . duties ; carrying out the instructions of the Adminis tration, bringing order out of chaos, and' re storing peace-to that hitherto distracted Ter ritory. The truth is, that Mr. Buchanan, in strict accordance with his inaugural pledge to fairly and impartially maintain the prin ciples of.the Kanias-Nebraska law, has idea tified‘iimeelcand his agents with neither of the parties that, by frequent angry collisions, have threatened Kansas with civil war. The pro:alavery partisans are disappointel and soured, because fidelity to the non interven tion principle secures Kansas to freedom ; the shriekers are chagrined because by virtue of the very doctrine they have so- lustily con demned, another Free State is soon to b. added to the Union. Gentlemen extremists of both sections,. your continuous fault find ing and abuse cannot alter the result ;.events are rapidly establishing the truth of the as sertion, that the Democratic Party is neither pro-Slavery nor anti-Slavery, in the usual partisan sense of those terms. It will adhere rigidly to strict constitutional principles, con fident that the maintenance of our admirable Constitution, in all its parts, is essential to the preservation of rational liberty. tonoge has no bones,bsit it Wake bouts. Wilmoes Boost Wilmot's excessive vanity is at once ludi crous and revolting. To illustrate': In his cent speech at Philadelphia, he indulged in' •that stile boast, which the periple of this county have heard him frequently make, ex pressing the conviction that the Demo ratio party would delight to receive him back in to its ranks; that he would be regarded as an orthodox democrat, if he would consent; to "catch a tigger,"•dtc. Now we care not to dissipate this iplenaing illusion of the faith less and demoralized being, whoseseif conceit prompts him to . tittO utterances ; but we are firmly convinced that his belief in this re spect, is " the baseless fabric of a vision;" the carefully nurtured result of an ardently cherished, but flickering hope. The man who pollutes his judicial robes in the Philadelphia .groggeries, in order to captivate a. city. Tab- I4e, would not be likely to shrink from the performsuee of any task that would gain fOr him the approbation of the - party in power. The man who breaks faith with a friend, or a political association, should avoid " all refer ence to hisconssienceor sense of honor ; such rekrencti might awake nopleasanzetleclions and provoke annoying veminiseinces. 'Our opinion is that Dahl Wilmot might hunt " niggers" to the ,be alaferial diminution df his corpulency ani the , gratification of his passion for tnischif and misery, without at tracting the faroable .notiofs of any political Coutri Proceeding*.

The Black Republican party in this State seems determined upon overlooking all kcal issues in the coming State election. They have already hoisted the black flag of practi cal Abolitionism to the mast bead, and put their'tnost objectionable dogmas into the plat form of principles which is presented to the people for their acceptance. Kansas, bleeding Kansas is the main feature in this canvass. and the people are gravely told that the elec tion of Mr. WILMOT and his colleagues is necessary, In order to help tho free State cause in that distant Territory. Not a single member of the National House of Represeu- tativei is to be elected this fill. The choice of a person to represent the State in the Sen ate of the United . States, does not _devolve upon the Legislature t 6 be chosen. Thus the whole, is narrowed into so Small a compass that. by no • possibility can the interests of either the pro or anti-slavery parties in Kan sae be Affected by the result._ The wrongs which either perty in Kansas claims to hare suffered nt the hands of their opponents can not be redressed upon the soil of Pennsylvanis. They must be made a local issue in the Terri tory where the people are anonainted with LUC facts, and do not have them second handed from news pedlars, who magnify the occurrences in order to enhance their value to such customers as delight in this kind of political merchandize. The people of Kansas are fully competent to settle their own affairs. Under the wise provisions of the organic law of that Territory, the powet ors') do:ng, devolves iipon• them, and the interference of persons from any quarter is Loth unlawful and imper tinent. - But while the Black RlpuLizan party is• I thus attempting to blind the eyes of the peo ple with . passion aria prejudice upon a subject which does not properly belong to our State canvass, we call the attention of the citizens to a matter_ of political verity which does concern - them. The whole history of this Black Republican movement- shows that its leaders are divided into two divisions, wild impracticable dreamers, and cunning, de signing knaves, who Make 'an interested use of the organization. The doings of this class of men in the last Congress is still fresh in the recollection of all. So bold and shameless were they in pushing forward their scheme of plundering the public treasury, that even the more prudent of their politioal associates were, obliged to desert; • t them and denounce their acts. • The Cotrimitteaiof enquiry ap pointed by Mr. Bssas. a - .Black Republican Speaker, and composed of a majority of the adherents of their• political party, reported such a masa of testimony as to convince the whole country that a majority .of the leading Black Republican members of Congress bad been interested and paid advocates of some one of the many acts by which the national treasury had been, or *as to be depleted. And further, that. editors of leading Black Republican journals, hvi also been engaged in like measuret,Trom ishich profits were to be realized. These are facts on record. They make a point from which the friends of an honest, economical administration of the State Government can judge Mr. Wilmot and the party to which he belongs, much better than any set up in the distant plains of bleeding Kansas. This is the history of Black Republicanism when entrusted with the management of pub lic affairs in the nation. They were engaged in either devising measures by which to dis tract and disturb the peaceful - relations that exist between the different States of the Un ion, or passing acts from which profit would accrue to themselves in a pecuniary way, Pennsylvanian. HEAVY Vzanter.—A. case was tried at the August term of the Court in Iluntingdon county, brought by Patrick Kelly, against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for in jury to his child, in which the j.nry )(seamed a verdict of $5OOO for the plaintiff The Huntingdon Journal rays—`• It will be re membered that, some three years ago, a child of the plaintif received severe injuries, cane-. ing the amputation of his leg, by being run over by a train of cars on raid road, while he was attempting to cross. This case ex cited great interest in the community, and particularly on account of the conflicting testimony offered. The conductor and two brakesmen of the train which caused theirc cident, swore positively that the boy had am ple room to cross without going under the cars, whilst some eight or ten of our best citizens swore as positively that the child could not have crossed in any other manner than he did, as the road was entirely blocked Isp.

The 4ucdess of the Democratic party has always been a raysteiy tp the Opposition. They have tried in vain to understand it, and have ascribed it to every iinaginatla cause but the true one. Changing their tactics with their principles, every few years, to at tack it 'on' what-they conceive to be the weak hide, they find that noble old organization fully armed at all points to repel them, and their fond anticipations of victory blasted by disastrous defeat after defeat, addee to the record of their repulses. When the Know -Nothing organization the growth , of a night—overwhelmed the De mocracy, defeated Biome, and elected Pot- LOCK by a 'Majority of thirty thousand, leav ing but a handful of Democrats in the Legis latu're to tell that such a party ever had an existence, the Opposition were flushed with their temporary triumph to an unwonted 'de gree. The least enthusiastic imagined that the days of the Democratic party were num bered, and that it could never : lift its head above the wave that had engulfed it. now little they knew the spirit that animated the Democracy I Even in that dark day, not a true Democrat but felt within him that his party was really triumphant in the midst of its disasters, and that its inberent vitality, de rived from just principles,' would yet assert its power in the overthow of its enemies. When the Black 'Republican party witnes sed the intense excitement whicbspread like a sudden and devouring flame over the north ern States, they imagined they saw the Demo cratic party in its death struggle, spending its energies in vain against the array of fanati cism they hadinvolsed toits destruction. At last, they fondly believed, they bad fonnd the vulnerable, int of assault, and that the par ty which so long baffled their efforts, was about, to fall beneath the blows of a furious fanaticism. The result was another bitter disappointment. While the Black Republi can ranks received daily accessions from the Democracy—weak branches torn of from the parent tree by the fury 'of the storm--the true men of all parties rallied under the Democrat ic standard, and emerged under itsamplefolds, into the light of the greatest, the most eon ous -victory that the Democratic party ard the Constitution itself ever gained. Still failing to see the justice of 'its princi. piles constitutes the immoveable rock on which the Democratic party stands so firmly, the Opposition made the w touriding discovery that Democratic ascendency was mainly due to the patronage dispensed.by the Canal Com missionevs en the Main Line, and that if this great source of Democratic victories was once removed, the sceptre would depart from the Democratic party, and . Davin WlLmot be elected Governer of Nnusylvania. We Lave been told that the Main Line was the great. prop of the Democratic, party, without which it would fail with a sudden era-h. Soule of the Opposition presses were so fully persuaded that this was a ttuth, that. they almost expected the party would disband the moment that the Main Line went into the handset the Penn , ylvania Railroad Company. Well, the Main Line, has been sold and trans revel The power of the Canal 'Commission ers over it has ceased, and ,their patronage ended. We lock in vain for its disastrous ef fects upon our party. General Nesse. is nosy stronger than he was before the sale, and he is growing in stength daily. DAVID .Thstor is no stronger than he was before the Main Line was divorced from the State, and he is manifestly growing weaker and weaker, - day by day. Even his supporters disconso lately admit that notliirg can save him , not even a renewal of the Kansas excitement. We never have regarded the Main Lino as ihs source of strength to the Democratic part ty. On the contrary, patronage growing out of its management by the Canal Comnasssion era has rather been an element of weakness. For one successful applicant for office there were half a dozen disappointed—bitter and rra, sengefully.di.appointed ones.
