Boa. Oalaiba A. Grow.
This distinguished champion of the Repub
lican cause is now in Minnesota. In the St.
Cloud Democrat —a paper edited by Jake G.
SwissnELS, one of the Representative women I
of our age, we find the following notice of Mr. ■
Grow. i
“We have never been so disappointed in any
one as in Mr. Grow. We had always thought
of him as a good, emest, honest man whose
large benevolence and habits of industry mads
him what men are apt to term a wheel horse,
in the cause of free labor.
We never thought of him as eloquent much
less brilliant. On Wednesday afternoon he
called upon us with Wm. 11. Shelly of St.
Paul who is travelling with him. Our parlor
jvas soon filled with gentlemen anxious to see
him ; and as he remained some time, we had a
good opportunity to note him. It was easy to
see in the eagle flash of his dark eyes, and the
rapid, firm, muscular motions where the “Icnock
down argument” had come from, which con
vinced Mr. Kelt of the superiority of North
ern men to Southern bullies. The breadth
between the oars shows unfaltering courage
while the largely developed social organs and
the tower of benevolence shows where the
Homestead Bill came from, still his forehead
is not massive. We have seen more intellect
ual looking heads out of which nothing ever
came; and we were afraid that in his speech
of the evening he would not do full justice to
the occasion. Although some effort for us to
sit up so long we went to hear him. Wilson’s
Hall was packed as no one ever saw it packed
before : and for two hours and a half he held
his audiance entranced.
His speech was great, grand, GLORIOUS !!!
Nothing wanting • Not a word too much.
Talk about the by gone greatness of the
American Congress. People are always croak
ing of the “good old time but Henry Clay
never excelled that speech ; and we think never
equalled it. Thank God for the men He has
raised up to fight out this second American
Revolution—the real inauguration of the Dec
laration of Independence.
The moccasins endeavored to break up the
meeting, by building bon fires in front of the
ball, beating drums and shouting “FIRE.”
Early in the address it was announced twice,
by a prominent Republican that there was
great danger the house would fall with the
weight of the audience. They were entreated
to refrain from stamping; tried to do so: but
only one lady left. All the others concluded
to run the risk for the sake of the speech, and
held their places to the last. The speech was
a most masterly effort; and has done the cause
of truth an incalculable service.
Proceedings of the Republican Senatorial
Conference^
The Conferees of the Eleventh Senatorial
District, compb>ed of the counties of Tioga,
Potter, McKean and Warren, met in convention
at Coadersport, on Wednesday, September2lsf,
to nominate a candidate for State Senator. Of
delegates present, there were from Tioga, John
R. Bowen, 0. F. Taylor and Mart. King; from
Potter, A. G. Olmsted, G. B. Overton, and A.
0. Taggart; from McKean, W. Cowles, W. A.
Nichols and S. D. Freeman; from Warren,
Chapin Hall. E. Cowan and W. D. Brown.
The meeting was called to order by electing
A, G- Olmsted, E>q., to the Chair, and appoint
ing W. Cowles and E. Cowan Secretaries.
On motion, Chair appointed W. A. Nichols,
W. Ih.Brown, G. B. Overton and Mart. King a
committee of one from each county on Resolu
tions.
The Convention decided to vote viva voce ;
and that a majority of all the delegates should
be necessary to effect a choice. *
0. F. Taylor nominated Stephen F. Wilson,
of Tioga.
A. C. Taggart nominated Isaac Benson "of
Potter.
W. D. Brown nominated G. W. Scofield, of
Warren.
S. D. Freeman nominated W, A. Williams,
of McKean.
For 121 ballots the vote was the same, each
candidate receiving 3 votes; the name of Mr,
Williams was then dropped, and the vote of
McKean thrown for Mr. Scofield, making a tie
between him and Mr. Wilson. After 27 more
ballots, with about the same result, the name of
Mr. Scofield was dropped, and Mr. Williams’
again taken up, making a tie between him and
Mr. W ilson. After 166 ballots, the Convention
resolved to adjourn sine die, if no choice was'
made after 25 more ballots. After 17 ballots,
the Convention adjourned till morning.
At 9 o’clock, Thursday 22d, Convention met
and on the stb (or 188th) ballot, Issae Henson
received seven votes as follows : S. D. Freeman,
A. G, Olmsted, G. B. Overton, A. C. Taggert,
C. Hall, W. D, Brown, and E. Cowan.
On motion, Isacc Benson was declared to be
the unanimous choice of Convention.

Republicans : In the exercise of your duties
to your country and to yourselves as citizens,
you will be called upon to rote next Tuesday.
The importance of the present canvass in Penn
sylvania can hardly be estimated, as upon its
result depends the great Presidential struggle
of next year. The Mulatto Democracy or,
rather, their leaders, seem to understand this
fully, as they have worked and are still work
ing with unusual industry not to disseminate
their own principles, for that would be an up
hill business, but to distract, divide, and by
these means defeat the Republicans. To gain
this end no stone has been left unturned, no
occasion has been neglected. The defeat of the
Senatorial candidate presented to the Confer
ence as the first choice of Tioga, was taken ad
vantage of by the leaders of the Mulatto Party
to sow discontent and disunion among us, but
without success. Tioga is solid for Freedom
now and always, and no effort of that kind
coming from such a quarter can affect our
strength. Local jealousies affect only the weak
headed politicians ; the people who care only
for the success of principles cannot be affected
by such clap-trnp. We are proud to know
that the Party of Freedom in this county is
above and beyond the influence of politicians.
The leaders of the Shamccracy here as every
where else have but to point the way and the
ignorant “faithful” do their bidding. Not so
with Republicans, for, happily, the intelligent
masses lead, and the politicians follow; And
so long as this state of things exists, just so
long will we be a unit In action. And when
the people shall cease to read and think and act
for themselves ; when they shall allow them
selves to be nosed around by ambitious and
weak-kneed politicians, who care nothing fur
principles and everything for themselves; when
such a time comes—-and we don’t believe it ever
xciU come—we should deserve to be defeated.
Republicans, the Tioga Convention placed in
nomination for the different offices some of the
best men in our party. If you believe in the
immutable principles contained in the resolu
tions passed by that Convention, it is your duty
to vote for the nominees. And it is not only
your duty to vote, but also to see that every
Republican in your township votes.
Republicans, some men vote from pique,
prejudice, personal interest, or some other
equally unworthy motive; but the great ma
jority of Republicans—more than nine-tenths
of our best citizens—vote for principles, and
care but little tcho the nominees are, if they
are only known to bo good, honest, and capable
men. The Party of "Free Homos for Free
Men,’' has an undoubted majority in Tioga
County of from two to three thousand. It is
our duty to see that our whole vote is polled in
order to show our friends in other parts of the
State, what they can depend on as the voice of
Tioga in 1860.
The Nominees.
By reference to the proceedings 1 of the Sena
torial Conference in another column, it will be
seen that lion. Isaac Bexsok was placed in
nomination for the office of Senator on the One
Hundred and Eighty-Ninth ballot. Although
we had hoped to record the nomination of Mr.
Wilson, the gentleman presented by our own
county, yet we have no reason to complain of
the treatment received at the hands of Potter
County or her Conferees. They stood by the
nominee of Tioga Couny till it was evident that
the West would not give us our man, and we
certainly cannot blame them for voting for
their own. We are glad to be able to say that
Mr. Benson is well qualified to fill the office.
The McKean Citizen notices his nomination
thus;
, “The contest for Senator is ended, and the
is that Isaac Benson,. Esq. r of Putter
county, will represent this District in the State
Senate for three years to come. The contest
was a long one, and the conferees of each
county stood by their candidate well and truly.
Mr. Benson had many ardent friends, and his
claitnswerc urged with more than usual earn
estnessTSHe has already served as a member
in the llouscofßepreaentatives two sessions,
and in that time be*earned an enviable reputa
tion as an industrious and useful member.—
Tbe lending Republicans of bis county urged
his claims from beginning to and, and tbe west
ern counties wore finally constrained to yield
to their demands and give him the nomination.
The contest was unusually warm, yet perfectly
harmonious, hud we are pleased to say that no
dishonorable influences were brought to bear
from any quarter.”
Tbe Putter Journal, tbe Republican organ of
Mr. Benson’s own county, speaks of him as
follows :
THE TIOG
“Mr. Benson is well known in
and will make an able and faithf.
He has had two year’s experiene
House, and being an apt and atte
of the customs and rnles of eithe

The'Warren Mail, the Kepub!
that county, in a lengthy article
nation, says of Mr. Benson:
He has served two years in the House at
Harrisburg, where his,position \yas among the
truest and ablest of that body. While our per
sonal prefernees were very strongly in favor of
the re-nomination of Mr. Scofield, we take plea
sure in assuring those of our renders who do
not already know Mr. Benson, that the choice
of the party has not been unworthily bestowed.
His experience in legislation; lis temperate,
industrious habits ; his practiool c omprehension
of business; his firmness of purpose and ar
dent Republicanism, as well as a[ considerable
identification with our local and Railroad inter
ests, are sufficient guar ran ties for us, that our
district will be faithfully and ably represented
in the Senate for three years to come. His
nomination was warmly pressed by Republicans
of his own County, and we trust that he will
receive the same cordial support from Warren
county that we should have expected from them
had our man, like theirs, finally been the unan
imous choice of the Senatorial Ci
. We ask the Republicans of i
give Mr. Benson their earnest suj

which resulted in the nomini
White of Potter County, as the sacrifice to he j
offered in the name of Senate ■. We confess I
that we do not understand why Mr. Cotter
should receive the endorsement of the County j
Convention and made to go to the expense of,
putting his name in the paper, and then be in*
continently black-balled by tin i Conference.— J
We like to see justice done to everybody, but
more particularly to printers. Mr. Cotter is a '
deserving young man. lie has labored ns few 1
ipen ever labored before for conect Pro-Slavery
Democratic principles in that county. In fact
he went the entire Democratic swine without
disguise. Will Mr. Cotter explain why he was
cheated out of the nomination.?! !
Miles White the Pro-Shivery nominee for Sen
ator, was once Sheriff of Potter County ; but
the people thought they could jfind better men
to transact their business, ami so expressed
themselves several times through the ballot box.
Mr. White losing all hopes of preferment re
tired from politics to a farm, where the politi
cians found him, and invited him to take a seal
in the State Senate in place of Mr. Cotter
the choice of the Democratic people of Potter
County. Mr." White will not b s elected for two
reasons;—first, because we don’t believe Mr.
Cotter will support him, anti secondly and
mainly because there will be a majority of
about Four Thousand for Benson his Republi
can opponent.
John Smith the Potter County nominee for
in.
Democratic Representative, needs no extensive
biography at our hands. After next Tuesday
he will take his place in the obscurity from
which he has been dragged by the inevitatnble
destiny of Mulatto-Democratic politics.
Isaac M. Bodine, Bsq,
Owing to some kind of a m
the Potter County Representative Conferees
failed to meet with the Tioga County Conferees
at the time and place appointed for the meet
ing. The Tioga Convention by its action in
nominating but one Representative virtually
conceded to Potter County the right to nomi
nate the other. This was done. The Repub
licans of Pottef 1 County re- icminated Hon.
Lewis Mann, a gentleman whc reflected credit
upon the DistricjHast year.
The failure of tlip Potter Conferees gave the
Tioga Conferees the impression that Mr. Mann
was not a candidate, and they, supposing the"
authority to do so was vested in them, accord
ingly proceeded to name ant tfacr gentleman,
Isaac M. Bodice, Esq,, as a candidate to take
Mr. Mann’e place on the ticket. On learning
the facts in the case, Mr. Bodine declined the
| nomination, and announced Iris willingness to
.CaUNTY AGIfATOK.
support the.nominee of the Republican Party
of Potter County. This is as it should be.
We presume the Mulatto-Democrats will try
to deceive Republicans with the. assertion that
Mr. Bodies is still a candidate, and it would
not at-all surprise- us. if tickets - should 'be cir
culated’with Mr. Bodine’s name on them.Jn
stead of Mr. Mann's. We trust that Republi
cans will guard against any euch imposition by
reading their tickets before voting them. We
are well assured that Mr. Bodine would not
consent to be made a party to any scheme by
which the integrity of the Republican party
would be threatened, or its strength impaired.

Examinations begin at 9 o’clock and no teach
er will be admitted into the class after 10
o’clock. Pen, ink and paper are required as
heretofore. Two teachers cannot use ink from
the same inkstand.
Those expecting to teach in any given town
ship will be required to be examined there un
less otherwise excused.
There are two days of examination i|t Union
Academy, the first is for those who have not
been examined by me, the second for tiiosc who
have.
Some of the examinations occur late in the
season and in extreme parts of the county, so
that those teachers who have been unavoidably
detained from the' earlier ones, may attend these.
Thus no call can reasonably be made for private
examinations, and none will be granted.
The qualifications of teachers are so much
improved as to render it, advisable to raise the
standard by which number 1 is granted, about
fifteen percent. Thus No. lor .any other No.
this Fall will indicate higher qualification than
the same number last.
Those teachers who have received certificates
with low marking, as 3 and 4 are not such as
the schools demand, and have only been toler
ated until better ones could be obtained. The
examination will be such as to reject many of
these, unless they .have improved.
The exercises will be written in the forenoon,
and oral in the afternoon. All persons interes
ted in education are invited to attend.
