These are important, but we wish the ftztare-eiti tells of this republic-10 have something More than a mere knowledge of what'is in books will,make them e As they come up on the stake of action; and take the places of those Who now occupy responsille po sitions, we wish them to be able to dis charge the duties of life,sboth public and private, in a manner that will do credit to 'those who have had- charge -of their early, training, and to-a certain ektent.fasiOned their character. How is this great object to be attained?.how can we'.b,estl acquit ourselves in the arduous &ides of 'our We approve or condenin metes ae onsth according - as their motives are good tor othelwise; and we are 'guided -eome what by the same criterion in judging of the future results of those actions. In view of this fact, it becomes the: teacher to look well to the motives by which he is controlled and goVerned. He may 'enter the school-room with a desire to do the greatest possible amount of good, and with a determination not to eW,erve lathe least r4in what, he considers the path of duty; because he thinks thatbrso doing, he' will merit the reputation of a successful teach er. TiMe passes on', and . he is at a loss to know whyconfusion has taken the place of the quiet -which once , reigned in his school. If he would but trace the effect to its real : cause, he would find that at the commencement he had too much of a e.O - motive at heart,- and instead of the highest good of his pnpils, , it was his . own convenience, and a desire to gain approba tion that prompted his.: zeal. Although the 'esteem of others is desirable, it is too dearly bought when Obtained at - the sacri fice of principle. It is not in the province of the teacher to seek self aggrandizement; he. must bestow nis . lallors alike on the un grateful and those'crwho appreciate his forts-; and lie must teach them to rightly exercise all their Powers - of mind and body. If the minds of the young - can once be awakened to the importance 'of vigorous aPplicatiori to the work of im provement, a,vittory is gained; and the -seeds of future usefulness sown which will germinate and bring forth fruit to bless the world of - mankind. Not only . must the intellect be-cultivated, but the physi cal and moral nature must be proportion ally -developed. NcrgoOd can -be, accom plished by Overcharging the - intellect while the moral garden of the heart is, suffered to be overgrown with vicious weeds. The teacher should' not be ignorant of the laws of phySiology, but be able to point.out any deviation frOm the right, path, any olatiowof the organic laws *which control thP - human system. 'We meet.daily with the .paliltfaces and shattered. frames of those Who are sinking:tinde,r disease,-the seeds of which .were sown in youth, when per-' ,baps_ :with proper care they might have grown, up.- with -vigOrous constitutions, which; . combined with Well -balanced minds, would have enabled them -to lead. lives of . uSefulness to theniselves and to , those around . .thera. • Mari in postiession of - physical .

It cannot be done by continually crowding upon the attention great. and valuable truths, while the mind remains a passite recipient, but every exertion must be put . forth to arouse the latent-powers, and. set the mind to thinking and .reasoning for itself. No one need try to 'carry a child up the hill of science, for be will but fail in - . the attempt jibe undertakes; but let - the, -way be plainly and accurately pointed oat; then le't the traveler exert his own• .energies in climbing its rugge*Steeps. As' the labor of the body tends, to strengthen, the'itinscles and give ' tone and -Nigor to the whole system,'so a-Virtuous- exertion I and vigorous' application of the mind; will bring to - light its hidden -talents, which, united with the. efforts Of -industry, will cause the mighty barriers 'of io-norance , to, give way,-.and let the soul rise -aboVe the merennimal_ to regions of light, for which the creator designed it. .Yet, when. high state,OlintelleCtnal culture •has been reached; thereis an element lacking which , lies at the very foundation of all that 'is great and good in l the:human character. Knowledge is power, but Without a fixed principle - of--,morality to give bias to that power, it--may prove a,n *mitigated. evil. It. cannot be deniea that - a lack of moral 'worth prevails in-the world town alarming extent. We have those among as with splendid.talerits-towering high.above the -common scale of intelligence,•but instead Of exerting their master energies in 'trying to elevate their fellow beings, they prove be-poWerful in 'the accomplishment of evil—in the destruction of all • that is left of purity and holiness in fallen humanity. We-see others who might wield.a mighty influence for geed, • but being entirely wrapped up in self, and destitute of chris- Sian ‘principles, lack the couvage - to - stand up boldly fur right against might, and bid defiance. .to any personal calamity which. : might consequently befall them- . We see: this truth illustrated in the transactions of every, day life, and we have seen it most. fearfully demonstrated- among those who take part- in Controlling• the Adis of pa tients. Must this evil necessarily be borne ? If not, how is it to becorrected ? Who is to be the agent in raising . the standard of morals among the people? The work rests upon the tener, cenneeticia with. the parent. In so me instances the parent 'does not poisess the elements of -a . .good moral-character in himself; much less does he possess the power to impart those ele ments to the _mind of the child, in which case the duty devolves. upon the teacher ; and no weirder that he should exclaim, "Who is sufficient - for these things r "How can I 'sustain this -overwhelming .weight Of responsibility r But we have not to. - -depend upon our own strength alone.. That Being` who has implanted within us, a desire to do good, will,.most assuredly, smile rpm our efforts. • Let our zeal in the causebe proportionate to the magnitude Of-the work, and while our fathers and brothers are nobly rushing to . the defence .of Liberty and-the Union, let, . us as nobly defend the minds of the. youth against the Inroads of vice and. ignorance, and strive to impart within them an un wavering regard for truth and right, that we may be able to bequeath to the rising generation, a natiee of virtuous, vigorous, practical thinkers„'Whci will preerve sullied our.political, literary, and religious institutions, and safely guide the 'ship of State.

Buckalew . waE born en..the 28th day of December, 1821; and at the. date of the:election had just completed his:forty first Year.

The estate of his father was'divided by: this line. . The farm where he - was reared was at the foot of the NorthweStern slope of the beautiful Knob.Mduntiin, which extends - ina uni form, and unbroken sweep from Shiekshin ny, in Luzerne, to Orangeville, in Coluin bia con nty. The scenery of the locality ; unknown and - obscure as it is, is probably the most attractive in Pennsylvania. The inthlence•ofphysical.eonditions,upon intel . !canal developew,ent, has oft 6 been. re marked, and the friends of Mr. Buckalew,. Who have been familiar with his history and his birth-place have been accustomed . for twenty years to connect the massive peculiarities of MS intellcet—Ms' eminent qualities of. quiet, undemonstrative and' imengetated vigor, power, and adherence --With the imposing and-majestic features of nature which surrounded his boyhood and early youth. His life there was pass ed as tbe lives of all boys are passed upon the land. He possessed the incalculable advantages that are ipsetiarablefrom such a life. There. _has been In this nation no first class man, from Washington to Web ster,.that did not come' from the land.

His success at. the bar was ear ly and rapid. It was a commen remark of judges and leading lawyers even at the outset that his opinion was 'as safe, his - , judgment as reliable, and bis mind as Ma ture as Could have been expected in the case of a first rate lawer of middle age.— His capacity for labor was untiring, and _ in the trial and argument of- a cause, his abilities to exa'c'tly Teet its requirements seemedinstinctive.. He possessed-in the practice of law the same unusual faculty which he has alwayti• displayed 'in public life—the faculty of using means precisely' proportioned to the,end in view.- - There - was no exhibition of excessive force. Ho , never indulged in exaggerated forms of ' speech: His language was always temp erate, and his manlier Was always self-pos , sested.

I is believed that all the members of 11D. Buckalew's family, during his,-resi dence at home, were connected with. the Whig party. But ills -own political prin ciples were based upon his own Convie- - . tions. 'While a - student in Mr. Jackson's office, and before he' became, a voter, his connection , with the.. ; Democracy was. formed. His first vote vas given in 1843, and long previously his political position - balifieen fixed with the consistency and tenacity of his character. In the Presiden tial campaign of 1844, he took -ground early for Mr. Polk, and in a: multitude of speeches, madean all the Northern coun ties of the State he urgedhis support with - a spirit, energy and effect .which, long be fore the 4ampaign closed, reiidoed Intu a' marked and distinguished man. - ,ln the winter of 1845, immediately after the in auguration of Gov. Shank, he was appoint ed by Mr. Kane ,the. Attorney General, his deputy is Columbia county. . The du ties of - that office were discharged, fluckalew has always discharged every duty he has - assumed, most .thormighly and most efficiently. From the time:: of. his appointment ' up to the year 1850, ho was constantly identified with the politick al movements of his county and district. He Was either a Senatorial or RePresenta:, tine delpgr,ate..to every State Convention during those year,s.. His political afrnities_ were with the party of which the Hon. Andrew-Beaumont was the recognized head, and in 1848 he supported Samuel '. Collings, the nominee of Luzerne coun ty,`for Congress, against < Hendrick B. -Wright, the candidate of Colunlbili. and Wyomieg. In 1849 he was appointed one of the commissioners' to investigate the affairs of the Bank of Susquehanna Coue- - ty, and acquired, during the investigation, -some views in reference gelation corporations and some impressions- in relation to men,. which Materially effected his subsequent legislative attion, and which have been followed by !some most salutary results: In 1850, he was elected to the State Senate ` The relations of paities. in his diStrict had long. - been modified, by. the struggle for the removal of the seat of justice,of Coltimbia county from . Danville to Bloomsburg, land the contest was an exciting and- bitter one. lle was elepted by a very gratifying' majority, the county of Luzerne giving him a vote considera bly exceeding the party stren4th. In 1853, he was - re-elected by a majority large ly-increased. In- the Summer of 1854, he -was absent in South America as a bearer of `dispatches from the United States Gov erninent to the commander- of the expedi-. tion against Paraguay., At the expiration of his second term, the district had been changed by a: new apportionment," and the Columbia district was- already filled. In 1857, he was Chairman of the State Central Committee, and - in that cacity had charge of the :campaign result ing -in the election of Governor Packer, Judge ThoMpson and Judge Strong. The quiet vigor and skill with , which that eonteat was conducted; are well remembered by the Demoeracy.
