orate speech in favor of the immediate admis
sion of California into the Union as a Free
Sate, and-responsive to the Pittsburg resolu
tion. .? In that speech, a copy of which I hove
now before me, there is the breathing of the

doctrine, that six years later found sympathy

active part-in the.animated contest of that year
■—one of his speeches, delivered in Philadelphia
on of September was printed and cir
culated as a campaign document, and being a
calm, strong and complete exposition of the
rights of' Kansas and of the claims of free
white labor, could not fail to he of excellent
service.
- In 1858 ho consented to he a candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court-of Pennsylvania,
and under the united support, most willingly
concentrated upon him, of all the branches of
the opposition, he was elected by a triumphant
majority of about 27,000 votes.
Of the character of John M. Bead as a
Judge, it is jet too early to speak; but it may
be properly said that his demeanor on the bench
if highly satisfactory, to the bar, and there can
be scarcely the shadow of a doubt that bis
earnest desire to discharge honorably the duties
of his high trust, aided by talents and acquire
ments of a superior order, will procure for him
an enviable judicial reputation, unless, happily,
he shall be called by the voice of the country
to act in a different sphere. He has fine health,
a rigorous constitution, strong working powers,
and although about sixty years of age, has a
fair prospect of full fifteen years of good ser
vice in any line of effort in which his mind may
be employed.
I agree with you entirely in the remark that
the suggestion of his name in connection with
the Presidency was a fortunate one. I know
of no man on whom the whole opposition can
so easily finite, nor one who would be a more
fitting representative of their principles. His
opinions on the slavery question, though tem
perately expressed, have been long consistently
and firmly maintained, and his views as to the
policy of encouraging and protecting American
industry, arc the result of profound reflection
and careful observation upon every branch of
political science. Ills character is unassaila
ble ; there is no weak point in it, that invites
attack or requires defence. His private and
his public life have heen, beyond suspicion,
pure. Though he has never been in Congress,
or served in the Cabinet, or represented the
country in the Courts of Europe; he is better
acquainted with the relative rights, duties, and
interests of the nation, with our internal re
sources, our foreign and domestic comjneroe,
with the mysteries of finance and the tidal
movements of the currency, than many who
have snent years in the halls of legislation, or
long worn tne robes of office in high public po
sitions. He possesses great discretion, as well
as firmness and courage, and caution in decid
ing as well as vigor in executing. He is not
ntraid to do right, nor can be be seduced to do
Wrong. Placed at the helm of State, you would
always see him calm, considerate, forbearing.
vigilant, never in haste to act, but ever in time,
< (skillfully adapting the means to the end, equal
to every emergency, and yet doing no more
than the occasion would demand, I have seen
him from the opposite stand-points of direct
antagonism and friendly association, and I think
I can hardly he mistaken in my estimate of the
qualities of his character, or of his eminent
fitness for the highest position in the Govern
ment. Most respectfully yours, A. T L
Democracy Going to Rest. —The New York
Herald has sent the Democracy to rest. It
says: —
“The Democratic party—the late all-powerful
national Democratic party—has, we apprehend,
finished its career. The recent Northern elec
tions, from Pennsylvania to Minnesota, all tell
the same story of its demoralized and sinking
condition. We presume that New York and
New Jersey will sing the same music in No
vember,,and that thus the Opposition will be
found in the substantial occupation of every
Northern State this side the Rocky Mountains.
The old W big party was first broken down in
the South from its affiliations with the anti-sla
very sentiment of the North ; and the Demo
cratic party has been prostrated in the North
from its mischief-buiking concessions to its
Southern pro-slavery leaders and managers.”
This' from the President's special friend is
an unkind blow, but necessity has compelled it
to fall. The Democracy has gone to rest—Doug
las has gone to rest—Slavery is going to-rest,
particularly as several States will soon give it
no roosting place. The hundred and fifty
thousand slave owners will have to take care
of the Institution with the laws that they have
now to guard it, and lot millions Of people be
v at rest on the subject.
Bishop Onderdoxk's Restoration Refused
r.v the House of Bishops. —The House of Bish
ops, now in annual session at Richmond, has
had before it the application of Bishop Onder
donk for a remission of his sentence, and for
his restoration to the office and duties from
which he was suspended some fifteen years ago,
and has absolutely refused to grant his prayer.
The .vote, which was taken in secret session of
the House, is represented by our special report
er as being twenty-five against Onderdonk’s res
toration to eight in favor of it, while the gener
al newspaper dispatch gives the figures as twen
ty-one to six. The first figures are probably
nearest to correctness, for the names of thirty
six bishops were given as having taken their
seats in the House. At all events, it is olear
that the majority against the proposed restora
tion is quite large—in the proportion of three
to one.— X. ]' Herald.
A few days since 170 negroes were shipped

MORE REPtJBJuCAW VICTORIES.
NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, MASSACHU
' '- : SETTS AND WISCONSON; ' •
ALL ERECT!
The “John Brown Democratic Placer ” worked
'out.—“Bleeding Virginia” a failure.
It gives os pleasure to inform our renders
that notwithstanding the more than ordinary
efforts made to defeat the Republicans in the
States above named, and mote particularly in
New York; notwithstanding the lying mani
festoes of the New York Fifth Avenue Demo
cratic Committee which represents Fifty Mill
ions of Dollars ; notwithstanding the threats of
the Constitution and other Southern papers,
that a Republican victory in New York would
be the signal fur the immediate dissolution of
the Union, State after State all through the
North has wheeled into the phalanx of Freedom.
The fact has been Tully proved that free "and
sovereign States can no longer be bullied ijnto
submission to tyranny by threats. At this
time such threats are particularly ludicrous as
coming from a community where but a few
weeks ago less than a score of madmen shook
the foundations of two slave-ridden States to
their very centre. No bugbear like that of
Harper’s Ferry could keep the sovereign people
of the North from rebuking the imbecility and
treachery of "J. B.” and his administration.
We hail these victories as indicative of suc
cess in 1800. If the Republican Party stand
true to its principles, and if its members are
vigilant and active, nothing can prevent a tri
umph fraught with honor and good to the na
tion.
Discipline in Schools,
What special topics may engage the attention
of the teachers who will come together in semi
annual Convention in the Court House to-mor
row, (Tuesday) we have no means of determin
ing at this time; but whatever they may be, it
is quite certain that gome suggestions touching
the subject which heads this article (will not be
out of place, even though they should not be
acted upon.
Every teacher knows that good order is quite
as essential to the intellectual progress of a
school as either capability to impart instruction
in the teacher, or capacity to receive the same
1- ~1~ _ u~.l- a'uuuu« v ,a.. J _ m^i
is what an army would ho without subordina
tion, or an extended commercial business with
out a system. We need not multiply words to
demonstrate what every good teacher will at
once admit without question. Since, then,
order is a vital necessity to a good school, the
question, “How can in best be established and
sustained V' arises.
Disorder conics from a comparatively small
class of pupils. This class is made up of such
children as recognize no better object in going
to school than to “kill timeof such as are
ambitious of distinction among their fellows as
“droll fellows” and “hard boys;” of others
who think “an education is a desirable thing,”
but postpone its acquisition until a more conve
nient season. How ought these rebels to be
dealt with ?
That It is sometimes necessary to have re
course to corporal punishment in this subjuga
tion of refractory scholars almost all teachers
admit. That the rod has been appealed to in
schools in times past and present, unnecessa
rily, there is scarcely room to doubt. We
know, from expeeience, that the rod is a cheap
and easy way of disposing of “naughty hoys”
for flw time being; and we often know that the
rod oflimes does dispose of such cases only for
the time being—in other words, that “whip
ping” does not cure the patient always, hut,
like much other "medicine,” only allays the
symptoms for a little time without eradicating
the disease. Still, punishment of some kind,
or of many kinds, rather, is a necessity.
'Looking candidly at the matter, we incline
to the opinion that he, or she, who shall devise
a system of rewards and punishments for
schools, in which the rod shall not be included,
will have done a great thing for education.
Looking at it fairly, the spirit of the age is
not in harmony with force. Love would seem
to have proved more efficient in the majority
of eases where it has been properly tested. It
is true that some natures cannot be moulded
by kindness ; neither can they be wounded, or
guided to belter things by the little disgraces
which lie in the teacher's election to inflict.—
But it does not therefore follow that a teacher
most subject them to corporal punishment. It
is always better for the parent or guardian to
administer such correction when it must be ad
ministered. In right and in law they are the
proper administrators of force in tbs manage
ment of their offspring or wiirds.
What shall the teacher do with those pupils
who will not be restrained by kindness, coun
sel, or bar of privileges 1 To leave him with
out remedy would he to close one-third of the
schools in the county, probably, or wbat is
equivalent—would create such confusion in
schools os would make intellectual progress
nothing at all. It will not do to abolish the rod
without provision of some kind to take its place.
That substitute for the rod in schools, lies,
we think in the-reach of every teacher who can
find School Directors and parents to ccvoperate
with him or her. So complete and excellent
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.,
'ijbes it to us, tbit, we£aj we n assume the
Asponsibuitids of theSrocatßott again, wejahould
endeavorto- carry it into;.effect. If, in the
course if a term, any pupil should prove re
beHions-beyond' peaoeabie-modes of restraint,
we should immediately expel him or her from
the sohoolTand thus Remove the delinquent to
parental'jurisdiction. Thus the -school, would
be rid of its plague, and the responsibility of
punishment be laid where it belongs—upon the
heads of parent or guardian.
'We did not essay, an argument in sitting
down to this article. There is neither time nor
space at one-command to treat the question ar
gumentively. -Bnt to the members of the In
stitute we .copimcnd it os one of the most
important questions which can engage their
attention. Will they take it into serious con
sideration T
Spirit ef the Press on Old Brown.
Tho Constitution, (Buchanan’s Washington
organ) charges Seward, Giddings and many
other members of the Republican Party, os
"accessories and accomplices in the crimes of
treason and insurrection.” u
The Evening Post in reply to this, charges
Buchanan with great neglect of duty in not
having them arrested and tried. Is not Bu
chanan virtually an accessory after the fact, if
he refuses to do so ?
—The Hartford Press says that the pikes
found in “Old Brown’s” possession were man
ufactured at Pnionville, by C. Hart, who voted
for “J. B.” for President, and has ever since
voted the administration ticket. Of course, ac
cording to the logic of the Buchanan papers,
the administration is implicated !
—lt is possible that since New York gave a
Republican majority over the combined forces
of Americanism and Sham-Democracy, the Ad
ministration and the Fifth Avenue Aristocratic
Slavocratio Committee will whistle low on the
John Brown tune. We give below some items
clipped from the newspapers of all parties and
sections, fully illustrating the spirit of the press
and of the country on this subject:
The following advertisement appears in the
Richmond Whig: —
H nnn kewakd.-joshua r.gid
qp JL A/* V/v-JAr DINGS having openly declared
himself a traitor in a lecture at Philadelphia, on the
2Sth of October, and there being no process, strange
to eay, by which he can be brought to justice, I pro
pose to be one of one hundred to raise $lO,OOO for his
eafo delivery in Richmond, or So,UUO for the produc
tion of his bend. Ido not regard this proposition,
extraordinary as it may at first seem, either unjust or
unmerciful. The law of God and the Constitution of
his country, both condcnin him to death.
For satisfactory reasons I withhold my name from
the public but it is in the hands of the Editor of the
Richmond Whig. There will be no difficulty, lam
sure, in raising the $lO,OOO upon a reasonable pros
pect at getting the said tiiddings to this city. .
Richmond, November Ist, 1850.
In an article regretting that Captain Brown
(“The Doomed Hero,” as some of the papers
call him,) must be bung in so public a manner
as to give him a chance to “play the martyr,”
the Petersburg (Ta.) Express says:
“He did not design to incite a rebellion among
the slaves, oh, no, r he only meant to run off a
c — „r .u—, —4 r :-i.a -u *■'—njkes and
Sharp’s rifles as a means of locomotion! Pretty
story, indeed ! But little will it avail him, for
the old miscreant will be bung as surely as he
shall live to see the light of the second of De
cember morn. The miserable fanatics and
weak minded vvomnn of the North, who are
troubling Governor Wise daily with threatening
or appealing letters for the pardon of John
Brown, little know the temper of the man with
whom they bare to deal, or they would not
waste their time and stationery with such cant
and folly about the safety and magnanimity of
Virginia. Governor Wise is not to be moved
from his convictions of duty by all the menaces
or the petitions that New England could write
in the next four weeks, and we consider it a
moat fortunate circumstance that at this critical
moment, we have such a Chief Magistrate.—
Brown must die, and all who were concerned
in his treasonable project.”
How “Old Brown” made the Missourians
Pray.—The following laughable incident is re-
lated in onnecthm with Brown’s capture of a
Missouri party, who had pursued him and his
collection of “chattels” to the Nebraska fron
tier last March:
The Sheriff, seeing the old man’s prepara
tions, with prudential courage, wheeled around
bis horse and galloped off. Dozens of his ful
lowers imitated his example. There was one
company, however, that refused to fly. Brown
captured them.
Ho caused them to dismount and put the
negroes on their horses.
They swore.
Old Brown ordered them to be silent, ns he
would permit no blasphemy in his presence.
They swore again.
“Kneel 1” said the old man, as he drew bis
pistol with stern earnestness, which left no
room to doubt his intention.
They knelt down, and he ordered them to
pray 1
lie detained them for five days, and com
pelled them to pray night and morning.
They never swore again in old Brown’s pres
ence.
They returned to Atchison; one of them in
discreetly told the story; the ridicule that over
whelmed the others, compelled them, as it is
said, to leave the town.
The following letter to The Tribune pats a
final quietus upon the allegation that Gerrit
Smith is a Republican :
"To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune.
“Sib : You are mistaken in supposing that
I voted for Mr. Fremont. I, think very highly
of him. Bat I never voted for any person who
recognizes a law for Slavery, however strong,
learned, or upright he may he.
The Ohio Stale Journal says “John Brown
is the father of twenty-two children—a force
sufficient itself to take Virginia and frighten
the slaveholders everywhere. We suppose some
of these children were girls, hut don’t think
that would make any difference. Woman would
scare the Virginians—babos in arms would do
it."- j
Qon. Joshua K. Giddings denies ever having
bad any information or bint of Brown’s inten
tion to raise an insurrection of slaves in Vir
ginia. The $3 he gave Brown were contribu
ted from sympathy for his sufferings and losses
in Kansas.
Old John Brown was a B. S. soldier in the
war of 1813, and fought at the battle of Platts
burgh.
I', The Jury, in thevertse of Cook, at Chatlea
jtown, have found .turn 'guilty of murder and)
Insurrection. His ' counsel moved for a new?
I trial. The motion was argued, and the Cohrt

to sign a nolle prosequi in the.case.of .Stephens,-
and demands his trial in Virginia. The Court,
however, has handed the prisoner over to the ■
U. S. Marshal. Green, Coppic, Copeland, and
Cook, were all sentenced to be hung on the
16th of December, and it is said Gov. Wise
will respite Brown’s sentence so os to hang ail
on the same day.
“Occasional,” the Washington correspondent
of The Press, states that “the Opposition poli
ticians in that quarter are beginning to look to
John M. Bead as the Bepublican candidate for
the Presidency of the United States.” The
people as well as the politicians in that quar
ter are beginning to have their eyes open in
the same direction. See article on the first

FROM THE PEOPLE,
Democratic Stah Convention—The Sons of
Malta—Mysterious disappearance of two Nig
gers—Post Office Robbery, <£-c.
Atchison-, Kansas, Oct. 31, 1859.
Editor of The Agitator: Tho Pro-Slavery
Democratic State Convention assembled as per
call on-last Tuesday in Lawrence, to nominate
State officers under the so-cailed “infamous
Black Republican Wyandott Constitution.”—
The whole proceedings I have not yet learned,
but understand that no less than J twenty-one
counties are said to have been reprhsented by
persons who do not live in them. The Douglas
ites were utterly repudiated, and Buchanan
Democracy upheld and endorsed. Old “Sam
medary” heads the ticket as Governor, and a
majority of the nominees are Buchanan office
holders and old Border Ruffians. On the Bth’
of November they will all be sent so high that
the crows will build nests in them before they
come down. No better ticket could possibly
have been nominated for the Republicans to
boat.
Last Saturday night the I. 0.,0f Sons of'
Malta had a midnight procession in this city,
clothed in the peculiar rrgalia of that order. —
There are some fifty members in this place, and
they presented a very ludicrous as well as im
posing and solemn appearance. They marched
through all the principal streets with torch
lights, escorted by the Atchison brass band.—
Iluiidreds of men and women, hoys and girls,
chidren, &0.,' staid up till a late hour to witness
this procession.
On Friday night last, two niggers, owned by
one D. Green of this place, were left at the
Massasoit House, to proceed in the morning on
their way to the “sunny South.” Morning
came, butlo ! where were the niggers? Search
was immediately made, but all in vain. Abo
litionists were charged with the whole proceed
ings. Hand bills were immediately issued
offering a reward of $3OO. The niggers have
not yet been found and probably will not be.
The Atchison Post office was broken open
about a week ago and some two or three hun
dred letters and quite an amount of small
change in the drawer was taken. In the morn
ing a large number of letters were found on
the levee bruUn open, and a day or two ago the
thief was caught by a gentleman of this place
from whom he had stolen an overcoat. The
thief was armed with a revolver and two howie
knives and made a desperate resistance, but
was caught and lodged in jail. Atchison is
infested by a gang of horse thieves and robbers
and properly very mysteriously disappears
nearly every night. It is hoped that they will
be dealt with to the full extent of the law.
Old John Candlebos Calhoun, President of the
Lecompton'Constitutional Convention, “kicked
the bucket” in St. Joseph, Mo., a short time
since. The career of this notorious individual
is so well known that for roe to spend ink and
lime on him would be useless. Although a
native of Boston and raised in New York, he
was a strong Pro-Slavery roan, and has done as
much as any other man towards enslaving Kan
sas. There will not be many crocodile tears
shed over him by tbp people of this Territory,
The Irrepressible Conflict.— Not a single
“Dough Fane” will go up to the next Congress
from all Now England. That cradle of Free
dom has been thoroughly “swept and garn
ished.” Nor is the Free West much behind.
Michigan has presented Stewart his walking
papers. Ohio has just given Pugh formal “no
tice to quit.” Gen. Shields will soon be pro
vided with an indefinite furlough. There is
some hope of ejecting the Indiana interlopers.
Oregon has magnanimously consented to re
lievo Washington from the offensive presence
of Delazon Smith, while, in Pennsylvania, Big
ler will be allowed to retire with the bachelor
President! Not since the days of Herod has
there been such a "slaughter of the innocents.”
The Christian Examiner mentions as a remar
kable fact, that in the splended array of world
renowned German writers who in the last hun
dred years have so gloriously adorned and ill
ustrated almost every field of human thought,
and fancy, and research, there one who
was not born and educated asyfc. Protestant.
It adds : “If wo were to atrik& from the rec
ords of human intellectual action all that Cath
olic Germany has contributed to the general
stock since the Protestant Reformation, the
world would not bo poorer by one great idea,
or even bij one comprehensive fact.”
By the act of 1802, the children of naturali
zed persons are made citizens by such naturali
zation, provided such children were under twen
ty-one years of ago at the time of such natural
ization of their parents.
