Jfoxi morning Lecompte secretly added three mdre.to the Jury. On .Thursday after noon the Grand Jury cimeimo Court for inslruc tions in the AfcCrea case. Instead of publicly iastructing them the Judge tfeht them back to their arooro, and delega'ed R. R. Rees, the Chairman of the ruffian mob that attacked Pnilips, to insirdcl them in their duties. Be ing still divided, they again /brcediheir fore-1 man to lend them into Court. The foreman? who is one of the fire eaters under Stringfel”- law, Atchison & Co - , was exceedingly angry at their obstinacy, and as he pome into couij exclaimed“ They can’t agree-, - three are fur a presentment fomlnurder, five for man slaughter, and'elfevefl against finding any bill." This announcement produced ir' great sensa tion in Court,and the Judge, without instruct ing the-Jury that in such a case they should return’.he ! bin' ,, ighorcd 1 ” sent them back to their rnorrt and caused other -business to be, brotighl before them. A majority’ of the Jury, -however, being in favor of ignoring the bill nghinst McCrcn, refused to act upon anyulher business until his case was finally disposed of, and therefore returned again and ifgain itifo Court, without making any pre sentment. This was continued until Saturday, when the Judge perceiving that he, to go oh with the business before him, musT do justice to McCrea by giving the Jury proper instruc tions, dismissed the Grand Jury, and ad, ■j burned the Court until the second Monday nf November. Such an adjournment is not legal, being authorized by no statute, aud is in fact, a dissolution of ihe Court. As such it was doubtless intended, in order to detain McCrea in prison until next Spring, that an olhereffbrl may be organized to pack a Grand Jury. The baseness of the Judge has no l been unobserved, nor will it pass without no tice, A petition will be present, d to the President praying for his removal on the ground of corruption and imbecility in office.

Mr. D's. name was therefore suppressed. Passmore Wtliiamsou, The most startling doctrine ever promulgated in a free country, is that held by Judge Kane in tlio Wheeler Slave case, in which he saya— M l know of no law of Pennsylvania by which a slave becomes a freeman, when, under the control of his master, be sets font upon her soil.” ilud lhis declaration been made by Judge Kane alone, and supported alone by bis opinion, it might be looked upon as an error of judgment, by the more cbaritaqle : but when wc find it re-affirmed and in sisted upon by tlio entire Supreme Bench of the Slate, with one honorable exception, the cloak is thrown off, the maltcr is removed beyond the sphere of accident and unintentional error, and unmistak able design bcoumca apparent. Freemen, if this doctrine be true; if il has a ftmudatian either In organic or common law, then the security which we as independent freemen have been taught to rely upon as a guaranty Ihnl involun tary servitude should never again curse our soil—if this be true, that security doe#* not exist and never has existed. If, after special Legislative enactment has been called in to cleanse our hands of this great c*t of human wrong* Pennsylvania is still a Slave Stale, then il U lime that we withdraw our confi dence in Legislatures and take up the matter in our homes, by our firesides, and like men who love to do their duly, place il forever beyond doubt or dispute. Look at this new doctrine: Il Is declared by a tribunal held competent to decide to the matter, ahd from which theic is bnt one appeal' (and that can only be prosecuted in a Court controlled entirely by the Slave Power,) that (here is no Itno in Penntyloa hia prohibitory 0/ Shtery ieithin it 9 borders. In other words, that t slaveholder may bring his slaves into the Stale and hold them, in defiance of all law* and contrary to the decisions of even the Southern Courts. If the freemen of Pennsylvania arc not thorough ly alarmed at the audacity of this decision, and driv en to open rebellion, In rescue their rights from the grasp of a corrupt Judiciary if remonstrance fails, (hen they deserve to be oppressed and scourged fur (licir indifference. What! if a blow aimed at the root of our'existence as a sovereign Slate, and which if suffered to fall, effectually churns us hand and foot and gives us over to the fender mercies of the Slave Pnwortas that the precedent, if established, will op en the way for still more dangerous aggressions—if suclf a bjow eannot arouse every Pennsylvanian-to determined resistance, we art lost ! utterly hit— slaves in all bnt ouUvord symbols and the bequeath* era of chains lo those who come after a*. ft-in no strange thing to find ihe’mind of the Fed eral and Slate Judiciary harmonising in a matter of this import. So long as the Slave Power has a ma jority in the Federal Courts, and while there exists in (he breasts of our Stale Judges an ambition to exchange (he Slate for (ho National ermine, just so long will the Qrtrighteous decisions of the one be sustained by (he other. It is idle to expect a clique of demagogues* invested 'with powers which make bad men as terrible as limy render the upright noble and useful, to do otherwise than bow down submissively lo the power which-holds llieir prefer ment in the hollow of ils hand. Thu Slave Power holds a majority in the Federal Judiciary. U hat altcnyt bun in lie majority there. Out of 37 Federal Judges Slavery has had 22. 50 years out of about 70, Southern men have occupied the Presidential chair. Of 19 Secretaries ol State 14 tvere from Slave Slates ; and so on through the various departments of Government—Slavery is in the majority., Virginia and Maryland alone, have received more patronage than the enlire North. Thus, the South, through the Government patron age, controls (he internal affairs of the States, The men who compote our Judiciary are not ignorant of this fact, as the recent humiliation of this Slate at their hands, proves. The Black Power dispenses its ■patronage judiciously, and therefore Courts and Leg islatures shape their decisions and enactments with a view to conciliate' (hat Power. £yery traitor to Freedom is rewarded with il» Diifty pieces of silver- Justices, Kane, Black; Lewis tnd L&wrie drill re. ceive llioir rewards'from this PoWcr, unlwsthe peo. pie arise in their strength and punish trcaWicry at it merits. If the Constitution is so defective that the rights of the States are jeopardized tinder It, let tire people fall hack upon (lie principles promulgated in lire Declaration of Independence, and abolish a Government which hat become UieOpprcasor instead of the Protector of Its subjects.

He is the prison companion of felons, though bis hands are 'deart hs is guilty;of no offense against the laws of the land. The people know (ho nature of his offeose; very few indlecd, are the men, base' enough to up hold Judge Kane in his tyrannical subversion of the rights of individuals. If a fclluw.creature in bonds that, under the laws of Pennsylvania she Was a. free woman in a free land, bo criminal, then Is bo guilty of crime. But we do not (ergel that it is tlio free men of Pennsylvania who will bear and decide this matter. The Federal judges may flood the land with Opinions, yet the strong but less ostentatious and less brawling current of Public Opinion will bear them down a thousand fathoms deep in its resistless tide. Those corrupt Judges are now before a tribunal whose decision can make or unmake them at will. Justice will surely over take them. It has already overtaken them in Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, Potter and McKean. It will just as surely overtake them throughout the length and breadth of the entire North in 1856. EDITOB. The resell in (he Stito should give the friends of Freedom no uneasiness. More voles were found against the Administration than lor it, and making’ a modemle estimate of the certain spread of the an ti-slavery sentiment in (he intervening time, Penn sylvania, by the untiring vigilance of the friends of Freedom, can be made to speak with 30,000 tongues against the Southern candidate for President. The Legislature is lost to us by the unhappy divisions in this Republican ranks. Running three or four tick ets against one Hunker ticket never did pay and has not paid this.fall. Know-Notliingism has run itself into the ground and nobody feels bad about it ex cept (lie passengers. It is hoped that the Order will subside jnlo a mere religious institution and give all its energies to the task of watching the Pope and Bishop Hughes, It is of no service politically ex. ccpt to help the enemy. In the bands of Judge Jes. •up and a few Harrisburg schemers, it withdrew Passmore Williamson and substituted Nicholson at the eleventh hoar—thereby removing the true issue from before the people and substituting an issue of no possible con'seqiicnco in the result- The election of Nicholson was really of no consequence to the cau«e wc advocate. It mattered not wb&t stripe of pollttulan should bo awarded three years'stealings ias one of the Gan 111 Board. The strength ol the Re, publican party would have been fully exhibited ■ in the vote for Williamson—it Is not in the vole (or Nicholson. The Republican Stale Committee, just appointed by Judge Jessup ia another lovely exemplification of Know-Nothing diplomacy. It is composed of 25 persons, 19 of whom are Know-Nothings !—some of 'the most active enemies of the Republican organi zation from the very start, and all, in fact, more or loss hostile to the movement. To salt this Commit tee and give it an appearance of respectability, tix known and good Republicans are placed on it, am ong whom are Judge Wilmot, John B. tfowe and George Darsie. Now. wo miss onr guess if these six Republicans do not find themselves in a remark ably uniform minority whenever called'uptm la set, if they consent to pel at all. ' It is very certain that the' Republican party will not lend its aid to the resuscitation of eitfter Wh|g gcry, hunkcriam or Know-Nmhingism. State Com milieus cannot sell the people; and we move that at the next Convention some man with unimpeachable backbone—one that can stand the strain of a dozen Baltimore Conventions—be made its President. Judge Wilmot addressed a large and attentive au dience at the Court House, Thursday evening 18lh instant. Ho took up (he subject of Slavery tad reviewed the coursc of the Slavery Propaganda from so early period down lo the imprisonment of Will, iamson by Kane, in a candid and tamest manner.

Toward the close of the speech he was continually interrupted by hearty cheers and laughter, and IcA the stand amid the most enthusi astic applause. Wc cannot believe that there was an individual present in that sudience, disposed to be just even to sn enemy, who was not impressed with the earnest ness and sincerity of the speaker, and who, if pos sessed of ordinary sympathies in view of.SJavery, did not feel, as he expressed it— “I WOULD RATHER LIVI ONE DAT A FreEMAN, TIUN A THOUSAND TEARS—A SLATE , Bjloamso.t'a Suincui Mschinc Messrs.

TMe DDCVttBXTS, v We have received from ihe School Departs mem at supply of lire School Laws of Pa., with the decision* of ihfcSoper* intendent, forma, ihe help of School c JD»ectora. Also a-supply of Ihe last annual Report of the State. Superior tendent—sufflciepffofthe Director*,ahiJioiher friends of edutsatiopin the county. Also a full supply'of hlanlts for the reports l of teachers,,sufpjeoi: for all the schools of the county, ; Wehnvedpne these‘ jtlVup in packages for eachiownahip artd4irec(ed the some to the Secretary of the board-of direct, ora for each township severalty. We"wculd be happy also to mail these documents to 01 her friends of education throughout ihe county ; but we find the postage o» the-same would cost os fifty dollars., /hire being t«o hundred and seventy pounds of them. Heqce we prefer to fiord on a little, and, notify the Directors that such documents are jo reserve for them, and wait an opportunity to reach them through,,some other channel tbap the miyls. If we can gel no other opportunity of forwarding them we will bring ihero,a|oog. on our visitation in different part* of the county, holding Institutes, examining Teach, erg, Schools iic. Of the School Law, with ihq decisions of the Supt,, we lake great pleasure,ii) speaking highly. Said a law>er, who is also a friend of our Common Schools—“l,thank you for (he copy you sent me. It is worth ten dol. lars to me—every lawyer, school director and friend of education in the state ought to have a copy at once.” We shall take, great pleasure in distributing it. If School Direct, ors would read it, the practical working of our school machinery, must to them appear plain, easy, and in the highest degree useful. No system in any stale con rival it in the equity of its foundation principles. If Direel, nrs will consult the book, .ifity will need no Philadelphia lawyer to tell them how to set and keep the machinery going to the satisfne. lion of the people and the greatest good of the children of this counly. The Repoitisa valuable document, though so much so as ihe one io succeed it, be cause the County Supt’s had not got fairly at Work when ihey were obliged Io forward their rqporls'for the .current year, which constitutes the main body ef the work. Still it contains the opinions of many men on the education of the masses in this Commonwealth and can not fail to do much good. The blanks for teacher a reports, to be fur nished gratuitously, are handsomely executed. ( We think however they do nut contain ail , <hey should contain, and are yet len times as j bulky as they should be. They are lumber ing i/p the nrchieves of our School Districts with day book matter, when it is only (he re sults, the ledger, the posting up of eactt month’s work that the directors should re ceive from the teacher. We have luken Hie liberty to suggest some alterations to these n ports, which we doubt not will receive, from the department of Common Schools t he con- I sideralion due to -a subject of so much . queoce os a good form of school record. ■[ , J.
