The political campaign,for. the season is now
opened in earnest/ Governor •’Weller and 0. I<•

'lBth instant. r ~ -
' John Gurrey, the anti-Lccompton candidate* for
Governor, and Milton S. X<athnm, tho Administra* I
tion candidate for tho samo office, will hold a dis
oussion at Yreka on tlio night of tho 13th, and at j
other points throughout the Stato at times dcsig-I
noted by either of tho parties. Tho nnti-Lccomp* 1
ton nominees-for Attorney General (E.'Steele,) 1
and Stato Treasurer (Dr. Ashley) having declined I
tho nomination, tho committee havo appointed
Edmund Randolph, of SanFranoisco, for the former 1
office, and Josiah Johnson, of Saornmonto, for tho I
Troasurorship. -
Tho Hon. D. 0. Broderick delivered a speech at
PlncerviUe on tho 9th, and tho Telegraph repre
sents that thopooplo wore almost wild with enthu
siasm, discharging cannon, displaying flags, build
ing _ bonfires, and greoting him with every inani- |
festation of delight. Notwithstanding the onthusi- |
asm of a largo portion of tho pcoplo for thoanti-Lc
co'mpton Democratic party, there is but littlo hope
for its success at tho coming election. Tho Repub
licans aro not cqaal to tho other parties pnited, in
tho but they hold tho balanoc of ppwor be
tween them; and should'thoy. persist in-running a
straight tiokot, tho Administration will probably
carry th‘6 Stato.
A movombut is talked of to effect the union of
the opponents of th& Administration, and in Ala
meda county the Republicans and onti-Lecompton
Democracy havo called a joint county convention
to nominate a county tickot.
There is no doubt that tho foolings of tho, majori-
ty of this State aro against the Administration, but
.the moans that are brought .to boar w;U to. likely
to prevent a fair expression of them. ‘ Federal
money, and patronage aro potent with many, and
there are others who yot oling to tho party organiza
tion undor apprehension of being road out of the par
ty, And thore aro thousands who prefer defeat to any
un|ori with tho Republicans. . A timo. will oomo,
however, when tho present policy can no longer bo
borne, and the faot may bo counted on ascertain
that at the next Presidential election no candidate
of the present Fodcral_ Administration will rocoive

sec that the gold coinage qf tho year amounted to
$13,880,400, of which $13,782,800 was in double
eagles,'and only $103,600 in smaller coin. That is
to* say, more than 99. per cent, of tho gold coinage'
of our mint is in the largest coin permitted to he
struok by our law, and larger than any pioco of
coin commonly current in any other country in the
world, or at least in .the civilized world. Of, the
tfialier gold coin, thb'ium of $20,000 was struck in
eagles, $48,000 in, half-epgles, $20,000 in quarter
eagles* nnd $15,000 in dollars.
The silver coinage of tho year amounted to $293,-
fitiQ; of whioh $15,000 was in dollars, $231,500 in
halves, $43,000 in quarters, $9,000 in dimes, and
none in half dimes or throo-cent piccos, those coins
not being current in our State. As for coppers or
nickels, they are not dreamed of in California.

The Bay of Biscay and-tho Mediterranean are to

has received the sanction of the Government of
Spain; and the Queen, by her proclamation of
Maron 25, 1859, has granted to its projector, Mr.
• Charles Boyd, of Barnes. Surry, two years to make
tho necessary preparations for carrying it .ip to
effect. 'The gigantic work, which" is designed for
the purpose of shortening tho passage of shipping
to and from > the Moditerranoan.and tho ports of

of the Ebro, and passing by Saragossa and Estella,
will fall into tho Mediterranean at the-Bay of Al

’ has 'not yet boon aseertained, but it is almost cer

tinct understanding, however, that the delegation I
I Bhall ho mado up, in the usual way, by tho State I

. SECOND DAY—EVENING SESSION. „ '
[Reported for The Pressi] v /
tfotwithstandingthe fact tfiat.an admission-fee ofli*
charged to those not belonging to the Association, wftfi;
tho view of preventing the great rush of “ friends', of
education,” that filled the hall during the day, the'hall
was thronged with nn assemblage quite os large as on
any previous day. The atmosphere was oppressively
warm, and tho fans kopt up a general murmuring during
the evening, in a vain endeavor to woo the breezes.
The indefatigable Dr. Cuiming ton',‘with his hard-work
ing orchestra, was prosent, and enlivened tho evening
with several well-performed pieces of musio.
. Hon, Thomas H. Burrows, of Lancaster, made an ad
dress. The sobjcct ho would address -the audience on
was one ot much importance. His opinion was that the
oomnion-soJiool system, ns an agent'of moral instruc
tion, was capable of doing all that was olaimed for it.
It does as much, if not moro, for tho moraKinstruotion
of the young, than any system that preceded it. This
system has brought within the reach of moral instruc
tion a larger number than were ever before under its
influence. He asked the audience to contrast the teach
ers of this day with the teachers of the past. There
were men m that day who -wero'admirable scholars- but
vory often afflicted with a hoodacho, from suspicious
causes. [Laughter.] The comparison was decidedly in
favor of the present race of teachers.
Tho moans of moral operation by which this sys
tem is earned out are various. A moral, deport
ment on»tlio rart of the teachers was very desira
ble. Tho toachers of Pennsylvania must be either ns
moral as they profess, or else a set of consummate hypo
crites. TJio character of the teachers of this State was
the first reliance of tho system. Tho second was the
habitual use of tho Sacred fctoriptnres in school, without
note or commont.- Tho common-school system of oduca
tion wasitseli a means of inorni instruction. Thiswns
a now, idea, but one sound in logic anil fact'»Tho im
press it Jind made on tho people was one of deop.sound,
ami lasting morality. ;
A peoplo that had come to the determination that all
tho youth shall be educated must bo a moral people.
He would ask tho audience to look at the eifoct or moral
education as exhibited m the school-room. What kind
of moral instruction should a.secular school impart?
Wo [moan tho Christian morality, as it comes from the
Decalogue. An eminent judge had said that the Chris
tian religion was a part of the law of Pennsylvania. It
was a matter of donut to him whether tho systom of odu- I
cation'Was capable of continuing tho moral instruction 1
it contains. Ho did not look on the Christian religion as I
a science, but ns a revelation. The first principles and
facta of the Christian religion have to oo learned, just ns
the first principles of science. In regard to tho religious
sectarian institutions of the Staty, he, might-examine
into their statistics, and ask Whether, after all, the
greatest amount of good nnsos from them. Hisown ex
perience had led him to think that such was not the
case. He had looked into the system of common-school
education for tv long time, and lie was convinced that it
was ioniuled on a just'and moral basis. Thospeakor
cited an instance of ono of the normal schools in the
Stato, whoro.eood sound morul instruction was fur
nished, and with good otlcct, giving a description of the
manner m which it is conducted, and euJo'rizin? its
character and operations in an earnest and oflcctive
mannor.
In conclusion, tho speaker oonteuded-that a system
like that of Pennsylvania was a moral one. Its
toachers could coniparo favorably with those of any pro
fession of the land. And to members of this profession
tho peoplo pi the State could safely commit tho educa
tion of their children.' .. • ...
A vocal.-eioco of musio, entitled “ Soft Glides the Sea;”
with a«'i>i&uo Mcojnpamment, was performed most ad
mirably bra olass ofchildren under'the ’leadership of
Mr. John it. Swoeney.
. Mr. Henry. C. Hickok, the State Superintendent, was
introduced as the next speaker. Some things had been
said at this Association eloquently and well. They came
to us like tho lifting ot a, cloud on a dark day. There
seemed to ho n, tendency to ignore the practical basis
upon which tho common-school system was founded, i It
was to tho glory of tho poople of Pennsylvania that they
wore .a practical people, and her school system was a
prftctica system.. [Applause.] There are multitudes in
this State who wore opposed to the common-school sys
tem,people who thoughtanthmetio and grammarallthat
woyo necessary, rho six elementary branches of edu
cation formed its basis,and ityon would build the super
structure of education, you must build on these founda
tions. In our hopes for the iuturo, glowing and bright
ns tiiey are, we nmst Tocolleot that the path to ultimate
snccoss was a tedious and weary one. In all the opera
tions of the system, we should faithfully, intelligently,
and sufficiently perform,evory duty >laid down in the
law. ' ....
Teachers should not neglect the instruction of ele
mentary studies toonpArfo in the higher branches of
education. If tho pupil needed training, so does the
toaoher in the normal school anp the county institute.
If the scholars needed, the advice of tho teacher, the
toaeherolso heoded the adviceof the county superin
tendent. That wo had made progress in tho system
within tho last fowyoarswns a foot not to bexAinsnii
It wai- A slow, butift cortain and sure-footed progress.
If they had not actually pone forward in the worlc. they
had not gone hack. It urns a sure foundation on whir,
they stood, and was proof Against all attacks that migh
he inode against it. 1
The progress of education had been attended by ex—
citemont au(l agitation 5 in some-cases it might bo con
sidered factious, but it was, without dOubt, salutary,
its offeots. rnkmg all these things in consideration, 1
was not surprised that Pennsylvania had not a more ex
tended system of school education, but that she had a
uniform systom at nil; and he felt snro the fact that
this system lind porvaded the whoto Stato so uniformly,
enveloping- every county; and.township in its Procrui
tean bed, spoke volumes in its favor. I Applause.] Th
system had been maintained by the zeal, the ability, tl
faith and the energy of those who.have to do with it.
Tho speaker rend an extract from aspeoch of Mr. Otdo,
Into a representative from Pennsylvania, containing the
views of the. author on education and ,tho common
school system; ami, altar thanking the audience for
thoir kindness, retired amid much applahse.
Wayne MoVoagh, of West Chester, made tho conclu
ding address. Ho did not'holong to the profession of
those before him. Ho hod come tlioro, and he had no
doubt that a majority of those before him camp
.there also, nqt for the; mere technical interest of thoir
profession, but' for the deop mterost they loltin the
great cause of popular.education. Ho was not prepared
to argue as to Grnagrind being the apostle of a new
Evangel, or to argue -as to the importance of facta as
facts alono. It liecama us to consider that there wore
greater things in God’s univorso than those of mere
mechanism. Wo had hoard to-night that public senti
ment wm opposed to admitting females as teachers—
nut yet wo did not learn our prosont progressive spirit
from tho multiplication table. The study of mathemat
ics, though primary m onlor. was secondary in import
ance. They had called this study the foundation stone
of education. He thought, to change the simile, that
instead of it being tho foundation pftherlmilding, it was
tho scaffolding to assist in its erection; Some men Uvo
faster, than others. As an instance, ho would say that
ho h\d no doubt that Percy Byeache Shelley—Shelley,
the pure-minded and noble-hearted, who died at an age
the world colled young—had. at the age of twenty-eight,
lived longer than Methuselah, who died at nine hun
dred. (Applouso.]
The study of mathematics confined tho wandering
tendencies of the mind—that, was its use and its man
use. When carried to excess it unfitted tho mind for tho
duo exerciso of the reasoning .and moral faculties.
It only concerned those things that die wlieuwe die. Its
advantages wo cannot take with us. Tho school masters
and school mistresses exercise ,a great power in ti is
land. They tako the human mind boforo it roaches t 0
progs oy the nqlvit—'they take ft when it is young, and
? could 1* for coon or oyil. He had been pleased to hear
rom one of the essayists a defence of the stady of pro
sody. It was well that tho scholar should bo taught to
know a lino of Spenser from that of Pope, and that when
he onine to road the sweet hnes’of Tonnyson, he shoult
read it for its fine, but often latent meaning.
He wonkt not, of course, h%va poetry,to snpersedo
tho multiplication table; but if, while pouring over
these figures, the teacher were to teach the scholar the
moral lesson contained in a single wild-wood flower,
he would place within the breast of that scholar a motor
power never to be forgotten. Pennsylvania recognised
tho noWo heroism of the spwwltanjrteft-aw scfmolmls
trenaraq of tlje land- The maq that devoted Ms life to
the pftvotfce or oducatfou, was a hero such as Welling
ton never was. And woman—noble woman—showed
hersglfto bo the yorthy sister of her'Who, amid the
hospitals ofSoutari, kept unspotted the whiteness bf
lior son], and immortalized the glorious name of Flo
rence Nightingale, f Great applause.) They were a l
co-laborers m a good cause; It was evor to tho selfish
economy of interest tp footer the ppMtp education. In
proportion a* its blessings were extended', tho hlossings
of republican government would be preserved. If the
time would over come, and fie hoped thqt it never would,
when on effort would 00 made to overturn our iibortiei
and .erect in its ptaco a despotism, that effort wonlc
originate in that part qf the country not blessed with a
common-school system. '

pointed, under the chairmanship of Wm. B. Waddell,
3sq., the Chiel Burgess of the borough, to
rangemonts necessary for carrying out their dotenoina

swer the purpose, tho depot of the Pennsylvania Rail

eng«gedr-'Thisdepot-Is-oyera hundred feetin lengthy

' Tables were erected, extending along thd building,
and settees placed in convenient portions of the depot
for the accommodation of the;guests. The tables were
!armnb'od in a manner that 'combined taste and beauty
<in an eminent dogreo. 'There was every thing that
could tliat could inebriate. AUji\anner
ot fruits, ana all manner of luxuries,in season and out
of season, were there in cornucopian abundance. It
'would be hardly fair for us to enumerate all that was
provided—it being doubtful courtesy to chronicle the
:contents of your neighbor’s tablo; but we may be per
.mitted to say that nothing desirable or proper was
‘wanting.
Au'orchestra, under tho directorship of Dr. Cunning-;

..the pleosuns of the evening. At a quarter post nino
lie teachers and invited guosta. to the number of about
ifteen hundred, repaired from tho Horticultural Hall to
tho depot.. The committoo of arrangements were pre
sentamldid everything m thoir. power to promote the
comfort of their guests. A few minutes after'the whole
company had arrived, a spontaneous assault was made
on the luxuries that covered the table. Fifteen hundred
people can accomplish'much in the eating line, &wl it
was not many minutes before the table was cleared, and
again reinforced by a small army of ooiored waiters,
who acted the part of ministering angels with commend
able dexterity.
There was no premeditated programme arranged by the
committoe for the entertainment, and all were left
o enior themselves in thoir own wpy, which every

as tho personal attractions of the laqies are concerned
wo uo not like- to express an opinion. - Extravagant
thmts may be easily wrifcton.bnt they'look awkward'in

were kept up. Some few danced, somo coquetted, some
grave people disoußsed trigonometry, some hovered
around the tables with incessant care, while the great
majority promenaded around tho plattoriu, contenting
old ncquamtances'Afid forming new ones, passing com
