SENATOR BUCKALEW'S LETTER.
We invite particular attention to the admira
ble letter front Senator 13VCICALEW to the Demo
crats of Philadelphia, which will be found on the
outside form. In the cabs, clear, searching and
logical style that marks all his writings, he
shows how the party in power has failed to ap
predate the real necessities of the nation in its
efforts to suppress rebellion, departed from its
declared policy at the outset, and substituted for
it, step by Step, the fanatical and extreme meas
ures of Sumner, Greeley and Phillips, alike at
variance With the requirements of the crisis,
violative of the Constitution, and subversive of
the fundamental principles upon which our
Government rate. Mr. linexatew empreeees the
opinion that a reversal of this radical sectional
policy, which has thus far been attended only
with disaster, is essential to success in the great
work of restoring the Union, and finds encour
agement in the proofs that were given in the
late State elections that the people have resolved
upon reversing it, as speedily as the peaceful,
lawful and constitutional means that our system
provides, Will allow. He states, very forcibly,
the true ground that the Democratic party occu
pies toward the Administration—a ground which
is as far removed from sympathy with secession,
rebellion and treason, as the Constitution and
the true principles of goveritteent, are from the
intolerant, persecuting and revolutionary ravings
of puritanic Abolitionism- Mr. 13VCRALER pledges
to the Administration, for the mass of his party,
aequiescenne in the legitimate exercise of its
powers, whether of war, or of internal govern
ment; but claims the right to discuss the wisdom
and constitutionality of its policy, and to resist,
by all lawful means, every attempt to pervert
the war from its true object, or to use the war
power as an instrument for the substitution of
arbitrary rule in place of limited, fixed, consti
tutional authority. He also distinctly sets forth
that the Democratic party is unalterably deter
mined to uphold the American Union, and to
labor unceasingly for its complete reetorat;on .
Hie letter, in short, is the utterance of the patri
ot and statesman, and as such, will commend it
self to every thoughtful mind.
We cannot better express our own opinion,
and that of Pennsylvania Democrats generally,
of this strong and timely letter, than by copying
the extract that follows, from a private letter we
received a few days ago, from a prominent Phil
adelphia Dem:oral, who has had the opportunity
of becoming acquainted with Mr BucKALEw'
intellectual abilities anti sterling qualities of
statesmanship, by six or seven years' consecutive
service with him in our State Legislature. lie
writes, under date of February 28;
"Of course you will publish, as soon as re
ceived, the letter of Mr. Buckalew to our meeting
of Monday night last. It is the greatest state
paper of the day, and exceeds the messages of
Governors Seymour and Parker in this, that it
presents the true ground-work for future action,
and exhibits in their true light present duties.
And, above all, it has this glorious feature in it,
that while, with the hand of a master, the errors,
follies and crimes of our Republican rulers are
portrayed, it neither directly or indirectly gives
encouragement to those who preach or practice
the doctrines or legitimate resells of haaallM.
Against the practices and theories if the Seces
sionist and Abolitionist, the true Democrat
raises his voice, vote and band.
" This letter will serve for our State platform
during the next canvass . , and will meet the ap
probation of every true friend of his country,
from the Aroostook to the Rio Grande, from the
rocky borders of the Hudson and Delaware, to
the golden shores of the Sacramento and Color
ado.
" From the tone and strength of this letter,
the people of the whole country will be able to
form some opinion of the modest, unassuming
gentleman, who, if blessed with life and health,
will appear before them at an early day as the
leader of the Democratic forces on the floor of
the t.f. B. Senate." W.
DEATH OF THE OLDEST POST-MASTER.—John
Bickel, of Jonestown, Lebanon county, Pa., died
on the 28th tilt., aged 87 years, 7 months, and 7
days- Re was known far and wide as having
held office under the United States Government
for a longer term than perhaps any other man.
Mr. Bickel was appointed Post master in Jones
town under the Administration of Thomas Jef
ferson, in 1802 and held that office through all
the mutations of the times and through every
change of Administration, down to 1859, a period
of 67 years, when the infirmities of age compel
ad him to resign.
GMAT FALL IN GOLD.—The speculation in gold
received a very sudden check on Thursday, by a
fall of about 18 per cent. in the rate of premium
on the precious metal. On Monday it was quoted
in the New York stock market at 171 and 172.
and on Thursday, after opening at 184/, it fell
rapidly down as low as 151/ and finally closed at
154 bid. There was a great panic among the
Bbylocks of Wall street, at this unexpected check
to the gold speculation, which had been running
wild for some days before.
TBEIGKOUNT Simmaar.—We have received the
annual Catalogue and Circular of this excellent
School for Boys, at Norristown, Pa. The corps
of teachers is efficient, the course of instruction
thorough, and the discipline salutary. It has
over 100 students, from all parts of the State,
aeseral being from Perks county. The Card of
the Principal appears in our advertising columns.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
The Thirty-Seventh Congress came to an end
on Wetiuesduy at noon. Nearly all the impor
tant measures that the Administration desired,
were passed, and have become laws; and it is no
hyperbole to say that the Congress just adjourn
ed has invested Ikle. Lincoln with more absolute
power than was ever before given to a civil ruler
by any legislative body of ancient or modern
times.
Financial bills have been passed appropriating
$1,100,000,000, in addition to $1,177,000,000
appropriated at the long session and the extra
session—in all 12,217,000,000. A Banking bill
11a3 been adopted to faciliate the financial oper—
ations of the government, and give it control of
the whole moneyed interest of tho country.
Next a general Conscription bill has been
adopted. Heretofore, in the United States, the
Militia force has been under the control of the
Garernors of the States, and trained and officer—
ed muter their authority. Now the whole Militia.
and every able—bodied jean in the country, mar—
ried and single, are placed under the complete
control of the President of the United States,
without, any intervention whatever on the part of
Governors or State Legislatures. In fact, the
existence of the State Militia is ignored, and a
Brigadier General, or even a Major General, is
liable to be drafted as a private. The whole
millary strength of the country, without limit
or exception, is placed at the disposal of the
Secretary of War.
Then, in addition to the immense regular na—
val force under the direction of the Secretary of
the Navy, the President has the power, by the
Letters of Marque bill, to cover every sea with
privateers, and to sweep from the ocean the com—
merce of every European maritime nation with
which we may come in collision.
Additional to these powers Congress has added
another measure. It has passed a bill of indem
nity which relieves the President from any le
gal consequences arising from false arrest or
imprisonment, and authorizing him to suspend
the privilege of habeas corpus at will in every
State its the Union. So that. any resistance to
his authority can be met and overcome by Bum
wary proms.
The President, therefore, and through him
his Secretaries, have absolute and unlimited
power given them by Congress over the purer
and the sword of the nation. And for what pur
pose ? Professedly to pot down the rebellion and
restore the Union. The responsibility they
have assumed is a fearful one. We be to them
if they betray their trust, and pervert powers
that were given them to save, to the work of de
etruction. W be to them, if with almost unre
etricted authority, they now persist in measures
whose tendency is to convert the government
that was designed to protect the people in the
enjoyment of all the rights of freemen, into an
hetrument of opp es3ion, tyranny and des—
potism.
THE "NIGGERHEAD" PARTY.
The New York Herald applies the name " Nig.
gerheads " to the Abolition leaders in Congress,
as a set off to the senseless epithet of " Copper
heads " whleh le now so freely bestowed upon
Democrats. It is a vulgar nickname, and we
disapprove of it quite as much as we do of the
general practice of calling nicknames, which
(be it remembered) originated with, and has
been persistently pursued by the opponents of
the Democratic party. But the term "Nigger
head," as applied by the Herald, is not without
meaning; for the proceedings of the late ses
sion of Congress show that the negro has taken
such complete possession of the heads of Aboli
tion members, as to disqualify them for the con
sideration of any measure in which he is not
the central figure. If any proof be wanting, in
addition to the general legislation of the last
Congress, to show how completely the party in
power has become enslaved to the fanaticism of
negro worship, and given over to the infamous
work of attempting to degrade white men to the
level of Regrets, it may be found in the proceed
ings of the Senate on Monday last, upon one
of the Army bills, to which Mr. Powell (Dem.),
of Kentucky, offered a provision, that no person
of African descent shall be commissioned as an
oiliest. in the service of the United Staten. This
was barely adopted, by one majority, the vote
being 18 yeas to 17 nays, as follows :
ME
.. ,
Cowart (R) Howe (R) Saulsbury (D.)
Dayie (U.) Kennedy (LL) Tee Eyck (IL)
Harding (U.) Lane (ii) Indiana, Turnln (u•)
Barris (114 Nesmith (D.) Wall (Li.)

F. 4eendeti (A) King (A.) Wilkinson (A.)
Foot (A.) Lame (Al Wii...o. (k) Mass
Foster (A.) . Morrill (A.)
Subsequently, Mr. Lane, of Kansas, offered
an amendment to the proviso offered by Mr.
Powell, so that it would read that no person of
African descent , shall be commissioned as an of
doer in the service of the United Stops except
company officers, and in companies composed
exclusively of persons of African descent. This
I was also adopted, by a vote of 19 yeas to 11
nays. The names are not published, but we
may safely presume that the 17 Abolition Sena
tors who voted. against Mr. Powell's proviso,
voted for Lace's amendment. So, here we have
the record made up, that the majority of the
Senate is in favor of eoinnzissioning negroes as offi
cers in the Army, on an equality with white men,
and that seventeen Senators were not opposed to
their appointment to commandspromiscuourly with
white effic.ers and over white soldiers We hope
that the fathers, brothers, eons and other rela
tives of the brave white men who are now fight
ing the battles of the Union, will study this
disgraceful record, and bear in mind, whenever
they are called upon, to tote at eleetions, that
the party now in power was in favor of degrad
ing them even beneath the level of the blacks,
by allowing black officers to be commissioned,
who might at any time be placed in command
over them, and who, while in service, they would
be compelled to salute as their superiors I The
extremity of negro-worshipping fanaticism can
hardly go further.
Ten Pans STEAMER " PRINCESS ROYAL."—
The British steamer " Princess Royal," which
was captured on the 29th of January while at
tempting to run the blockade at Charleston, was
pot np at auctibli last Saturday in Philadelphia,
by the U. S. Marshal, and purchased by the
Government, for $112,000, her appraised value.
She will at once be armed as a gunboat. Two
splendid propelling engines, iron armor suffi
cient for two vessels, three Whitworth guns, with
lathe for turning shot to fit them, a large quan•
tity of conical, steel-pointed shot, and metal to
make more, with an immense lot of morphine
and expensive chemicals, tea and hospital stores,
constituted the principal items of the cargo of the
" Princess Royal." The prize money to her
cantors will be very handsome. Even her cabin
boy will have enough to buy a house.
ger TILE REBEL CONGRESS have adopted" is
novel mode of getting rid of the negro regiments
that General Hunter or Colonel Higginson or
Gen. Phelps is going to lead against Dixie. The
negroes, when caught, are not co be shot—but
sold, for what they will feteh,—half the proceeds
to go to the captor, and half to the Govern
ment."
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We are indebted to Senator CLYIIIiiIt and Re
presentative KLINE, for copies of the 2ittilt An
nual Report of the Superintendent of Common
Schools of Pennsylvania, for the year 1862. It
shows that, notwithstanding the disturbing in
fluence of war, the Schools have kept. pace with
the increase of our population and the natural
development of the system ; and very little
diminution of the aggregate results has been ex•
perienoed. The due proportion of school accom
modations to population has been preserved, if
not somewhat itteres.sed.; the amount of instruc
tion imparted has only slightly fallen off; the
teaching material has kept pace, in number, with
the growth of population, and its quality has
improved ; the aggregate expenses of the schools
have been considerably cUttailed, the entire east
to the State being $116,019 7G less than it was
last year ; while the actual cost of instruction,
in salaries of teachers and expense of each pupil,
per month, has fallen off very little—about 8 per
cent. of the former, and 4 cents of the latter, or
about 1-13th of what it was last year.
The Superintendent repeats his recommenda
tion that the term of office of Directors should
commence with the School year, and not at the
date of their election. With regard to the Coun•
ty Superintendency, he says, as the result of
eight years' experience, that it has not come up
to the intendment of the law, principally by
reason of irregularity in the amount of duties
and compensation, and a lack of the requisite
professional qualifications in many incumbents
of the office. He therefore comes to the conclu-
eion that "a change in this office is as necessary
as it is inevitable;" and recommends, instead of
a Superintendent for each May, a division of
the State into about 25 Superintendencies, com
bining several counties into one, so as to give
from 400 to 500 Schools into the charge of each
officer; such Superintendents to be required to
possess "high literary and scientific acquire•
ments, and full professional skill and experi
ence ;" to be relieved from the positive duty of
visiting each school in their district annually,
but to examine the teachers as now I to visit
each district once a year, to advise with and ad
dress teachers, directors and citizens; to visit
any school requiring special attention, on the
request of the proper directors, with power to
apply the appropriate remedy; and to perform
the oilier duties now enjoined. These Superin
tendents to have a reasonable compensation, to
oe fixed by law, and to be uniform in all cases.
rite report also recommends each board of direc
core to appoint a district. Superintendent, whose
hay it shall be to visit each school regularly,
for half a day, once a month, to report hit pro
ceedings monthly to the directors and the chief
Superintendent of the district, to act as Secreta
ry to the board of directors, and to receive a
reasonable compensation. This change, it is
estimated, could be made without any increase
of expense ; and it is suggested that the appoint
ment of local District Superintendents might be
left discretionary. The concluding portion of
the report is devoted to a consideration of the
Colleges, Academies, Seminaries and High
,Schools of the State, and the relation they bear,
or rather, should bear, to our Common School
system, and recommends their endowment by
the State, upon certain conditions as to course of
instruction, &a

DANIIIL ISHTLXT,
I" POLITICAL.—The Republicans of this city
have already made their nominations for Ward
and City Officers, They have attempted to die-
guise their partisan movement under the much_
abused name of " Union," but a glance at the
list of candidates shows "the cloven foot." too
plainly to deceive any one. On the City Ticket,
they have nominated DAVID hicKturoirr, Esq., for
Mayor,. and Capt. Joan Unman for Treasurer.
It is doubtful whether Mr. McKnight will accept
this nomination ; for, in his address to Mayor
Wanner on retiring from the position of acting
Mayor, he distinctly said that if •induced to be
come a candidate" for the Mayoralty, "it would
only be with the ezprese understanding that it
should be free from all panty nomination."
WHERE THE COIN Is HOARDED.—Last week an
appraisement was made of the effects of an estate
In Derry township, Dauphin county, and the sum
of two thousand five hundred dollars in gold and
silver found in various parts of the house where
it had been secreted. Now that gold is worth
seventy cents premium, this amount will run up
considerably. No doubt in the same way there
are large amounts of the precious metals stored
away throughout the country.
*a- TErs rtatto•Foura.—There is probably no lutes of
Utility or luxury In the purchase of which so much must
be trusted to the honor sad integrity of the manufacturer,
as the Pianu-Forte. The name WaLIAM B. Bashnuay
