The Institute then adjourned to meet at the
Presbyterian Church to attend the second lec
ture of the Rev. Thomas K.-Beeoher.
Eceiiing Session. — About half past seven
o'clock the Presbyterian Church was thronged
with people to hear Mr. Beecher’s lecture. I
regret that I cannot give your readers a sketch
of it, without destroying entirely, or, at least,
without giving a wrong impression of the rhet
oric, quaintness of idea and expression, and
beauty of language peculiar to this gentleman ;
and 1 am not quite sure that his doctrine will
bear putting -into my words—that it does not
need his poetry to make it acceptable. How
ever, your readers will have to be satisfied with
’the bird without the feathers. Mr. B. divided
his subject thus: • ,
Taxes.- —Taxes paid for the support and ad
ministration of Government, expended, for the
most part, at a distance from the tax-payer, for
objects, the utility of which is not always pal
pable —liable to be wasted in prodigality and
corruption.
School taxes expended in the neighborhood
of the contributor—for purposes which all may
comprehend and appreciate—more obviously
beneficial to society than those of any other
tax.
Village Schools. —Union, or Graded Schools
—the best, because
Ist. They do. the most good at the least cost.
2d. Because they serve as a bond of union
between the people.
Churches, politics, &o. tend to disunity and
estrangement, more or less, and the distinctions
of wealth and refinement separate communities
into hostile classes. These divisions are una
voidable—perhaps useful and necessary to the
welfare of society; but they.always tend to
excess and need to be antagonized by arrange
ments which embrace the common interest and
bring all classes together upon a level platform.
A well organized Union School answers such a
purpose admirably.
■ Whatever may be said in favor of social dis
tinctions among the adult members of society
it is good for the young to associate at school
upon equal ground and have a fair trial for the
prize of social distinction. The children of the
' wealthy and refined classes will not suffer by
such trial. They cannot evade the competition
of the less favored, but more enduring and ro
' bust children of the poor in the run of life.
They need the strength and hardiness, to be
"acquired only by such contact.
Scuool Houses.!— The style and surroundings
of the school house iave great influence over
the pupil. Order and beauty in these twill be
refleetd in the character of the school.
Teacijehs —lt is best to have our principal
teacher permanently engaged, that is, when
yon find one who is excellent, let his engage
■ ment be such as to inspire him with the utmost
possible interest in the permanent success of
' the school.
At the conclusion of Hr. Beecher’s lecture,
Mr, Garretaon offered some remarks in relation
to the collection of a sum, to be added to the
amount already voted by the Institute to pay
’ Mr. Beecher for his services. Ha was inter
rupted by Mr. Beecher, who said that the peo
ple of his church at Elmira paid him all the
money ho wanted to live on, and that if his
‘ services in behalf of Education in Tioga County
should bring forth good fruit, he should consider
himself amply rewarded. lie therefore de
clined to receive any compensation whatever,
- but stated that if the people wanted to throw
' in some money, he would place the same in the
hands of some gentleman to be expended in
behalf of the Tioga School. Remarks were
made by John W. Guernsey Esq., and others,
and Mr. Young of Wellsboro, offered the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions which were
carried by acclamation.
W/tereae, Tlu: services of Her. T. K. Beecher of
Bltuirabave been of incalculable bench t to our Insti
tute particularly, and to the cause of Common-School
Education generally; and whereas, he has generously
declined to receive any pecuniary compensation from
us whatever. Therefore
Resolved, That wo tender to Mr. Beecher our heart
felt thanks for his kindness in our behalf, and that
his unselfish devotion to the cause of Education for
the sake of the good to the world resulting therefrom,
challenges our admiration and esteem.
Resolved, That this preamble and these resolutions
bo entered on the minutes of the Institute.
The President and others made some closing
remarks, whereupon the Institute adjourned to 1
meet at Wellsboro, at the call of the County !
Superintendent.
It may not be amiss, Mr. Editor, to offer a
few extraremarksinthis connection. In justice
to the effort* of the teachers, I must say, the In
stitute was a perfect success, a triumph in the
truest sense of Itho word. The teachers with
whom I, talked, seemed perfectly satisfied that
it had resulted in great benefit to the can so of
education in this county. I must confess that
th 3 prospect looked rather gloomy for the first
two days; but by the indefatigable labors of the
Superintendent together with the assistance of
the teachers present, its reputation was not
allowed to suffer; and its friends have no rea
son to lose their faith in its efficiency. Its in
fluence upon the community, was also, good.
At first, it attracted but little notice from the
inhabitants; hut before it closed, it was attend
ed by; large crowds of spectators who were
anxious to see what was “going onand I
think, if H-werc to bc.held here again, it would
bo still hetter.uttendcd. '
. In my opinion, the benefits of the Institute
to teachers, can hardly be overrated. Teachers
do not seeni to fully realize the truth of this;
and: Ibis is. why they are compelled to teach for
such low. prices. Other persons engaged in
like occupations, from associations to advance
their own interests. Why should not teachers
do the same? Is not their profession as wor
thy? They cannot expect their profession to
bo respected, unless they .show themselves wil
ling to uphold, and sustain it. If teachers
would make teaching a more money making
i.ii'.iness, they must become Us open advoeates.
they will nerer get a high price for'teaching
' until they demand it. And until they do this,
they most expect to “to teach for nothing,”
and “board round.”

Third Parties.
The Wellsboro Agi(ator f a few weeks since labored
through a long column to show that our idea of build
ing up a third political party with Democratic princi
ples, was impracticable. Wo are' surprised that the
Agitator should insist that it is impossible to keep up
more than the two parties now in existence. It must
recollect that the party to which the Agitator belongs
only had a beginning a very few years since, and in
that beginning it was merely "a third party/' but now
bolds quite an Important position as regards strength.
Hare we not seen the old Whig party superceded by
the Americans, and both superceded by the Republi
can party? This has all taken place since 1554, and
yet our Tioga friend bos the audacity to seout at the
idea of “third ; parties.” “The first shall be last# and
the last shall be first’'—Warren Ledger,
W© think the Agitator is fairly hit in this reply.
Every Republican ought to have great faith in third
parties, for if it bad not been fur the third partie* of
1841, '4B and ’s2j the Republican party of 1856 would
have bad no existence. And if the scheme now on
foot to convert the Republican into a mete oppetitian
party succeeds, we are in favor of organising another
Republican party, though it might bo a third or even
a fourth party. —Potter Journal,
It will be seen by the above, that the Ledger
skulks the issue which we made with that paper,
in our article of the 21st ult,, and hides itself
behind another question which we never raised.
We will state in a few words the arguments on
both sides.
| Immediately after the release of Daniel Web
ster, the fugitive slave, the Ledger formerly an
un unscrupulously partisan Buchanan sheet,
hut now attached to the fortunes of the Forney
Democracy of this State—came out with an
article, deploring in “mournful numbers” the
creation and existence of a public opinion which
had quietly sneered down and made nail the
Fillmore-Webster Slave Law. It accounted for
the existence of this potent public opinion, if
we remember rightly, by citing the fact, that
all the good literature of the day has a decided
anti-slavery tone, and that even the “nigger
songs” of the street imperceptibly tend to
destroy that fidelity to the interests of the South
enjoined in that infamous law. “Poor Nelly
Gray” who was “taken away,” was cited by
the Ledger as an instance of the thousand and
one inlets to the sympathies of the popular
heart; and {he line where the song says “the
white man bound her with -his chain,” was
cited as an inlet, as it ■ truly is, to the popular
disgust. These minor causes prepared the way
for the statement of the grand cause of this de
praved popular opinion, which was to be found,
as the Ledger affirmed, in the action of the po
litical parties of the day. With a degree of
boldness and manly independence seldom seen
now-a-days in a Democratic sheet, it said: “The
“ Republican party which proclaims itself anti
" slavery, arrays itself against a Democratic
“ party which is decidedly pro-slavery. Northern
“ men of extreme views control and lead the
“ Republican party, while ultra Southern mtfn
j “ control and direct the machinery of the Demo
■* erotic party."
To remedy this (to the Ledger) sad state of
things, that paper proposed a “third” party —
a party which would be “eminently conserva
tive in its motives and action”—“a great Dem
ocratic party such ns it was in the days of Jef
ferson”—a parly “within whose folds the con
servative men of all parties may carry out their
patriotic desires,” said “patriotic desires” be
ing, we suppose, to send the niggers back qui
etly, without any fuss, whenever called upon
to do so.
Thus far the Ledger. In reply, we tried to
show the impossibility of erecting a party on|
the bases proposed by it; that the Republican
party which was the great third party of 1854-
’5O was the remit and not the cause of the con
flict now going on in this Republic between
Free Labor on the one hand, and Slave Labor
on the other., We cited the doctrine first ad
vanced by Jefferson, and lately reenunciated by
Lincoln and Seward and by John Hickman at
the Forney Convention, that there is an irre
pressible struggle, an eternal antagonism be
tween freedom and slavery; and we affirmed
that the floating elements pf the Democratic
party and all other parties, must swim into the
vortex of one of these antagonisms. Those
who love freedom—those who desire to see our
nation grow great and strong under the health
ful influence of Free Soil and Free Labor must
become Republicans; and those who love slave
ry, its' beauties and blessings (?) must become
Shamocrats.
We hope that the Ledger understands our
position on “third” parties. We say how dis
tinctly, os we sajd before in effect, that no third
party can exist which ignores the Labor ques
tion, for the reason that it so directly underlies
our commercial, agricultural, intellectual and
financial prosperity as a nation, that nil parties
must endorse as a national measure one of the
two systems, or die. “Have we not seen the
“old Whig party superceded by the Ameri.
“ cans, and both superceded by the Republican
“ party ?” asks the Ledger in the article which
we paste at the beginning of this. We answer,
yes; you have. The reason why they were
superceded, was because both these parties
tried to ignore the slavery question.
The Potter Journal will possibly have learned
before it reads this far, that the “hit” of the
Ledger, was just no hit at all. We made no

issue with it on the number of putties. If a
man is abont to bnild a bouse, wo have a right
to tell him that the timber is rotten if we be
lief eit is so, It is nothing, to ua, if he forgets
our remark about the timber, and retorts that
'he has a - right - to'build another houaelf he'
pleases. ■ -AsTre know the Journal will see the'
point, we beg to suggest, that hereafter the
editor will read both sides before “mixing in.”
One word to the Journal in regard to the “op
position” movement which it so strenuously,
and we think needlessly, deprecates. When
any of the principles of the Republican party
are on the point ot being sacrificed; when the
“opposition” shall ask ns to lay aside the dis
tinctive measures which have become so en
deared to the people of the whole North, it will
bq .time .for the Journal to talk of new parties
and third parties. We confess that we cannot
now see what good the Journal can possibly
affect by its shying at imaginary fears. Depend
upon it the masses will stand firm, and will
watch with earnest eyes and discountenance
any movement on tho part of political tricksters
which threatens the integrity of their princi
ples. Depend upon it too, that those who count
themselves among the number opposed to gov
ernmental corruption—those who desire to de
feat the self-styled democracy in 1800 though
they differ with the Republicans on the slavery
question now, will, if oar party stand firm upon
the Philadelphia platform, be glad to stand
there with us f/icn. But anti! some concessions
are seriously asked of us, we protest against
the impracticable kicking up of the Journal.
Two Cases Contrasted.
The tendency of the government of this Re
public was never more faithfully illustrated than
in two recent trials—one at Charleston, the
other at Cleveland—one the trial of a gang of
desperadoes and cut-throats who were engaged
in reducing a cargo of innocent men to slavery,
and the other the trial of one of twenty or
more Christians for assisting one .enslaved man
to regain the freedom of which he had been
robbed. "We have alluded to the cases before ;
but we have not yet seen them contrasted. In
the first, there is no doubt that the charge un
willingly urged by the Government against the
crew and officers of the schooner Echo, was
fully sustained. The Captain of the U. S.
Brig Dolphin, by whom the Echo was captured,
was on the stand as a witness. He testified
pointedly as to the arrest of the prisoners on
the high seas; to the fact that they had a cargo i
of half-starved Africans on board; that the
marked chart on the vessel shewed their track
from the coast where their slaves were snipped,
to the spot where the capture was made; that
the bla.cks were in irons and in the hold; and
that the outfit of the vessel, the nature of her
cargo, the admissions of her crew, and the
story of the slaves, left no' doubt that the Echo
was a slave-trader, and that the prisoners were
willingly, knowingly and criminally engaged
in the forbidden traffic. His testimony was
supported by other witnesses of unimpeacbed
veracity. The identity of the men, and the
facts charged in the indictment, were clearly
proved—so clearly that the defence offered no
rebutting evidence The Attorney*
for the accused knew what they were doing;
and that they might depend upon the indispo
sition of the government to convict. The case
went to the jury, and that body, sworn to act
according to the law and the testimony, hesita
ted only to make a show of deliberation before
they returned with a verdict of Not Guilty I
There is not a boy in the streets of Charleston
who does not know that the finding in the case
was a lie; and that an outrage has been infiict
ted upon law and justice.
The other case is that of the Oherlin rescu
ers, with which our readers are already famil
iar. The “man John,” an escaped Kentucky
chattel, was arrested in Ohio hy a slave catcher,
who does his dirty business on shares. The
arrest was on a warrant issued by an officer
who had no jurisdiction in the district, and of
course was without legality; but the Marshal
refused to give the prisoner up. An excitement
arose among the free men of the neighborhood
that so shameless a thing should be ; and with
out violence or intimidation, they terrified the
cowardly officials so much that they suffered
John to escape. The rescuers were lately in
dicted. One of them has just been tried by a
Democratic court and a Democratic jury;
though the testimony was lame and inconclu
sive, the Government had made such extraor
dinary exertions that a speedy conviction was
had, and he is sentenced to a fine of a thousand!
dollars, or a year in the Penitentiary! Twenty
others—not pirates, cut-throats, slave-traders,
but men of character for integrity and virtue
—are in prison awaiting a similar trial and a
similar sentence!
And yet we hear from no Democratic journal
a word of condemnation for the proceedings in
either case. Editors and orators are sending
up jubilant shouts in consequence of the “vin
dication of law” in Ohio, hut we have yet to
know that they have uttered a murmer at the
defiance of law in South Carolina. The same
power that empaneled the jury by which a crew
of pirates were turned loose and invited to re
peat their crimes, held the key to the jury box
in which sat the men who have punished the
lover of freedom, in Oherlin, with the extre
mest penalty of the law'! That power is the
Federal Government wielded by James Buchan
an.—He and the party' of which he is the head
must he held responsible fur verdicts like these.
Let the people note that in this era of the Re
public the slave-trade is no crime ; bat those
who laugh and shout in approbation of the act,
when an escaped slave is recovered from the
clutches of the hound by whom he is pursued
for a price, shall feel that slavery reaches with
a long arm and sharp talons into the heart of
every Free State. . The trials of which wo
speak will have widely different results. South
Carolina will become more blindly and crimi
nally devoted to Sham Democracy which yields
to all her demands. ’But we shall be mistaken
if Ohio and her freemen do not speak in trumpet
tones in reprobation of that Democracy which
does not hesitate in outraging all that thoy
hold dear !—Detroit Tribune,

WAS INEVITABLE.
Tho arrival of the steamers Weser and Bor
ussia from Southampton has put ns in possess
ion-of intelligence from tho seat of war in Italy
to the 2d inst. Dp to that time, no battle had
taken place," though there ifl'a rumor of an un
important engagement at-tbs bridge-head of
Buffalors, which’tho Austrians are said to’ have
carried by the bayonet. Their movements are
certainly more dilatory than was to have been
expected. It seems that they did not enter
Sardina until the 29th nit., although the reply
of the, Piedmontese Government' to their ulti
matum was received by Count Gynlai on the
evening of the 26th- Here was a loss of two
days, and for what reason does not appear.—
The delay in the attack upon the Piedmontese
forces is attributed to the fact that the roads on
the Austrian line of march have . been broken
up and the bridges destroyed; but the first
considerable hostilities must have taken place
before the 7th inst., when the Canada sailed
from .Liverpool for. Halifax and ’Boston; we
may expect to receive her dispatches, with the
result, by Wednesday at the furthest.
With regard to the alleged alliance between
France and Russia, the British Government
have received assurances that nothing of the
sort has been negotiated. All that has been
done, says Mr. Disraeli, is that Russia baa
agreed, in case of d war, to place an army of
observation on the Prussian frontier; and this,
is no more than England is going to do in sen
ding a fleet into the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile, all Italy is in a ferment. The
Government of Tuscany is carried on by a Pied
montese Commissioner, who will be aided by
the subordinate local authorities. The Duchess
of Parma has imitated the example of the Tus
can Grand-Duke, and her dominions are also,
for the present, similarly attached to Piedmont.
The King of Naples is not dead yet, but when
he departs .we shall no doubt see there a pop
ular rising in behalf of Prince Murat. On
the other hand, we bear that the Prussian army
is to'be completely monopilized, which looks like
anything but German neutrality. Tho ques
tion is now not so much what Powers will be
in the war, os what Powers will be able to keep
out. ~
Thirty-five Thousand Dollars.
The journals in the service of the Adminis
tration are loud in their laudations of the man
ner in which “the difficulty with Paraguay” has
been settled. If the intelligence which has
been received from Paraguay be correct, the
Government of that little country has agreed
to pay thirty-five thousand dollars in full of all
demands. The circumstances of the case are
briefly these: The authorities of Paraguay
had insulted the American flag by firing upon
a United States Tessel, and killing a seaman.
They had also interfered with the business of
an American company, which bad caused a
pecuniary loss. To demand and receive re
dress for these grievances, an expedition was
fitted out, which, by the time it gets back, will
have cost the United States millions of dollars,
and sent to Paraguay, and the result has been,
if our intelligence he reliable, that our woun
ded national honor is to be healed, and the life
of a man recompensed by the .payment of ten
thousand dollars, while the interruption of the
business of the company aggrieved, is to be re
munerated by a payment of twenty-five thous
and dallars; and for this manner of sustaining
out national honor and protecting the Uvea and
property of American citizens, Mr. Buchanan
is bespattered with praises by the parasites who
feed at bis crib.
When Thomas Jefferson was President of the
United States, when our naval power was small,
and that terror of the civilized world, Algiers,
outraged and insulted the American flag, re
dress of a different kind was demanded, and a
Decatur did not compromise our national hon
or for ten thousand dollars; but now when our
country has become one of the great powers of
the world, the stars and stripes may be insul
ted by a European nation with impunity, and
by a South American petty State for ten thous
and dollars. "We have become cheap under the
reign of King James Buchanan, and our hon
or is sold for a small consideration. Like the
amiable Mr. Weller, senior, it is allowed to go
“wery reasonable.” If under the Administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan, expeditions are to be
fitted out which coat perhaps hundreds for every
dollar’s worth of redress received, it would be
more economical to let the little nations kick us
adh'bUum as well as the big ones, and save this
large expense. '
We are now told that the Paraguay fleet will
be sent to Central America, and the same vig
orous means adopted to settle .matters in that
quarter. There can be no question that Mr.
Buchanan’s naval operations will greatly illus
trate the history of onr country.— News.
Ms. James Porter, reputed the tallest man
in the world, died in Louisville on Monday.—
He was seven feet nine inches in height, and
when in perfect health, weighed near three hun
dred pounds. At the age of seventeen, being
then smaller than ordinary, he fairly began to
grow. Measuring himself every Saturday night
he found in one week that he had added an inch
to his stature. A cooper by profession, he soon
became too tall to work upon barrels, and was
presently obliged to give up even hogsheads and
become a hack-driver. In the years 1836-37
he came East and appeared on the stage in one
or two pieces written especially for him. He
returned to Louisville, and a few years later
bought the coffee-house which he was keeping
at the time of his death. The LouisvUte Cour
rier, from which we glean these facts, recalls
the following anecdote;
“At the time that Charles Dickens came to
this country, there was a perfect furore to seo
‘Boz.’ As he passed through the canal at
Louisville, he sent a messenger to Mr. Porter,
of whose remarkable proportions be had heard,
intimating a wish to se him. Mr. Porter re
plied to the messenger: ‘lf Mr. Dickens wishes
to see me more than I to see him, he will come
to me.’ Mr.- Dickens took the hint,-and it was
during the conversation that Porter, told the
novelist that while be was growing, his mother
had to saw a foot on his pantaloons every
night.”
A medical writer of celebrity Illustrates his
subject in the following manner i
"A dovout singer, in a church choir, lifting
up his voice in a hymn to the highest pitch,
brought the condyloid process to the very edge
of the glenoid cavity, and attempting to "shake”
at this oritinal moment, actually disloeatedhis
jaw!”
The most extensive publicity should be given
to the remarkably curious and very melancholy
fact, that hereafter singers in our choirs may
never attempt to “shake” when their condyloid
processes are at the end of their glenoid cavi
ties. —Elmira Adcertmr,
,—ln a manufacturing village sear Hart
ford, a zealous Democratic schoolmaster devo
ted his evenings, for some time before the late
election, to the instruction of a company of
Irishmen, in order to fit'them to Become Demo

to the requirements of |the statute, which re
quires them to ho able'to! read the Constitution,
he took them to Hartford and had them natu
ralized, and relied with great confidence on their
voting “the right ticket.” When election day
came, however, the schoolmaster was .puzzled
and mortified to see nearly all his hopeful pu
pils vote the Republican ticket.. “The cusses,”
be said, “bad turned against him, after he had
spent more than a hundred dollars on them.”
The incident shows the perils of education to
the Democratic party.

be seen by the Landlord in time to send for a
Physician to make all due efforts to save him.
The recital of his misfortunes that “compelled
him to rashly seek his life," ended in the ma

when he would leave in a humble, grateful
frame of mind for another field of operations.
