• Xbeiywmiof stovery ismdeltotabmto any
, other frfrm of tyranny on thtfface ofthe -globe.
A few years ajgo, there' was % small party, only,
with Ur. Calhoun at the hea& of it; who assumed
' the extreme ground that the territories of the
United States; in, their virgin character, was
■ subject to the' inroads of slavery; hence that
slaveholders had|a right to establish slavery in ,
-all dhr territories, and nope could be reserved
' for freemen tind freedom/ ,Bnt the great body
of the peppier North and; SSonth, held different
viewg. Territory, only, ip which/slavery pre
viously" existgd, might he formed into slave
States—as wjere Florida, Texas, &o.
—and had a right to he admitted iiito the Union.
We believe both Mr. Bell and
at one tlmeTheld this doctrine, and declared
slavery to.be subject wholly to the municipal
' haw of the. States in which it exists, and cannot
i be intrefetea with either by the Federal Govern
ment or thejpeople of other Stages. Mr/ Lin
coln holds this doctrine now. This was also
clearly Mr. play's, views i and many of onr first
statesmen bblieve that If is the only policy to
keep this vexed questiopput of Congres and out
- of politics. I This is conservative doctrine, and
the only one that We-cah' see justly entitled to
1 ~ the name. | The views upon the question of
’ slavery, entertained by Mr. Lincoln and bis
' friends, cannot even be,distorteii tq mean inter?
ference with slavery as it exists in the States,
where it constitutionally belongs;
Nevertheless the conservative view will not he
' tolerated hjr some of the slave States. People
in them, whether slaveholders or not, are not
permitted to express opinions in favor of con
servatism, j They must either proclaim the
universality of slavery, or forever hold their
’peace. The Constitution of the United ‘States
is plain anti emphatic as to the right of the peo
ple freely to assemble together upon all public
occasions,-pnd it guarantees freedom of Speech
and the press. tßut this right is openly ignored
in the elavja States, end peremptorily denied l ;
While the extension of Blavery.which is. now here
provided fpr in the Constitution, in any contin
gency, and cannot be! perverted to sanction it, is
insisted ujjioa by them as the very essence.of this'
instrnmenjt, and the 'all-absorbing principle of
the 'country. . , * , _
We havfe been led to these remarks, by. the
following 'circumstance which has taken place in
Virginia. ( Recently certain citizens erected a
- liberty pole upon private, property, in ' the vil
lage of Odcoquan in that State, from the top of,
' whlcb waived the American flag with the names
of Lincoln and;Hamlin inscribed upon it. The.
pole had been raised only a few days, when a
rumor was heard that a party was organized
some distance off to cut it down. Hearing this,
the Republicans applied- to the Governor for
protection, and he at once ordereda company of
cavalry, Jwhich promptly appeared and took
position,; On Friday last, however, a party of
about foijty peraonsjwbo had been regularly or
ganized aud under the command of a captain
’ made their appearance ,at Occoqnan partially
armed, formed a hollow square around the pole,
Without hindrance'from the cavalry, fell it hi
the ground, and cut it into pieces. Not satisfied
. . with this, several' Republicans were attacked
and. badly beaten. Also, a Mr. Janney—friend
• 3y to Bell and Everett, and owner of the ground
on whtcs the pole was planted, a- wealthy man
and an did settler —was “brutally assailed and
beatsn, because he asserted that he had the right
to declare his own principles upon his .own'
homestead, and to permit others to exercise
. their rights within his own grounds, if it pleased
him to do so." f
A cWil war would he the result in any
Northern State, if a party of fanatics succeeded
in deliberately cutting down the liberty pole of
the frieqds of any candidate! for the Presidency, ’
whose residence might be tin a Southern State,
. however radical fright be his opinions in favor
of slavery extension and protection, as well as
its heavWbom beatitudes. Here where free
dom practically prevails, every question involved
. in the politics of the-day, is freely diseussed,
’ and there is none to make us afraid. The con
tract cain be 1 easily drawn. —Germantown Tele*

! DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY. 1
The present'administration, when it retires
from ogee, will leave to the people a legauoy of
. $80,000,000 of National Debt, independent of
, the $20,000,000 which it found in the treasury
and'which it'has since squandered.
It came into power preaching “economy”'
and “Retrenchmentyet i{ has been the most
. extravagant and corrupt that
ever eiisted. 'During its whole term it has
been spending at the rate of twenty millions a
yearmbre than its receipts 'from revenues. It
would not take many years of such financial
_1 jJSßlioy to saddle the United States, like England,
| 'With an enormous, immovable and burdensome
' National debt. .
Buchanan attacked Fil.lmore’3 administration
as expensive and extravagant, because it spent
$50,000,000 per annum ; while he' has himself
spent $70,000,000 per annum, and-would have
spentimore if Congress had allowed it to. him.
There have been occasions, heretofore for
large expenditures, as in Polk’s administration
during the Mexican war; but there has been no
each-j excuse during Buchanan’s term. .-We'
have beqn and are at peace with all the world,
with no cause for heavy expenditure; and the
extravagance of this administration is therefore
nil thb more unjustifiable.) :
All) this while, too, the industry of the country
is suffering' for want of protection. Tho Treas

Peopljs fotwant of protection, end all because

At a famous rate, and- export all the gold that
'Californiaproduces to pay for them; but the

manufacturers of the country toil on almost
' hopelessly against the encouragement thus given
to their-foreign competitors.

Relations of Forties Interested in i
School |
Mul
It fe no doubt true that each of the five pan
ties—roarents, teachers, scholars, school-officer!
and the public—have their own peculiar duties;
yet little that is valuable will be Accomplished
if either one of these five parties sets itself u|
to criticise or condemn the other. As a end
tion |nd injunction appropriate to all five, t
may Sbriefly be said, beware of fault-finding
it is Jvery easy to, detect faults. Be industr!-'
ous, laborious; the school needs us all. Tte
following is a brief outline of the duties of the®
five parties, respectively:
Parents. —lt is theirs and theirs alone to sut
taia Ibo responsibility of securing the welfaie
and education of childhood. Reward andfpui
ishnjent is in thbir hands.' Supervision of p,
chilq’s habits—neatness, punctuality, honesty,
manliness, religion, politics; in short, thqen
tire [responsibility for childhood’s welfare bair
bcenj laid out by the Creator upon the parents
of the child. •
Teachers. —lt is their province to accept tem
porarily such a share of the duties jthat prims
riiyjdevolve upon parents, as can bfe more con
veniently and thoroughly discharged by a school
than by’a family organization. Intellectual ex
ercise, access of information, social training,
require a kind of supervision which parenti
cannot readily exercise. But the teacher is< or
ought to be, if parents were faithful only, .aux
iliary, and never principal, in the estimation of
childhood, i ’ -i
abnoLAßs.— I They should relnder during the
fs of their dependence a willing, intelligent
i entire obedience to the vvShes of parents
1 of teachers, so far as they express the pa
fal will truly to practice those virtues en
led upon them by superior wisdom apd ox
fence— always trusting willingly the gui
|ce of those who merit such confidence.
School Officers.— Their line of duty is to
gsee the building, premises and finances of
I school; to protect, sustain and defend the
jracter of both teachers and scholars, as long
they are members of school, to educate and
is for the community; in all school matters,
to observe and advise with the teacher as to the
interior management of the school—in no case
interfering with his labors, nor attempting to
practice teachership in school theenselvcs, un
less requested to by the teacher himself.
{The Public is General, —lt is the duty of
the public in general to bear the expense of
schools i to attend the school meetings, and in
sist upon knowing from officers what has been
lie to avoid.gossiping rumors and tale-bear
; to encourage weary teachers by giving
m good homes, honorable rank, and a snita
compensation, so they may be able to live
well as let live.
? rom these general outlines, which have been
tehed with little regard to accuracy ofphrase,
eral important specifications of duty should
inferred.
’arents.as they are and as they should be,
very distinct classes,'ns widely different ns
inary teachers and truly professional ones.
inhere is many an orphan, whose parents are
ving. Hence, oftentimes, the teacher must
ct both as parent and as teacher. Too often
iny teachers be heard saying. He’s got such a
ithcr that there is no use in do any
ling for him at school. Far belter were it to
i|ay, Ho is no good at homo; I must do some-
for.him at school; for a teacher isgiuit
sent for them that are whole and need no teach
er, hut for them' that are sick. If a child hag
Intelligent, faithful parents, expulsion may be
often expedient; but for the neglected and fur
Jho child of the outcast, the school is the only
home. It is a part of a teacher’s duty to edu
cate parents to their duty ; and it is a part of
{i parent’s duty to educate teachers to their du-
quarrel always implies culpability on
IfcotW sides. Let the stronger bear the . burden
bf’the weaker; for there is load enough to bur
pen all. If parents stand for rights, and teaeh
fers stand for law, and school officers stand for
{form and ceremony, each party tunning his
fence to.keep out intension and standing watch
fully to convict his co-laborer of neglect, there
will surely, cause enough be .found for conten
tion. A teacher’s strength and panacea for all
evils in and. out of school is self-sacrificing in
dustry, If parents are impertinent and unrea
sonable, labor for their children; give way ; ■ give
up, but strive to educate the child, apd soon the
breach shall be healed, scarless. If officers are
meddlesome, officious and willful, made- so by
the little brief authority the lawhas given them,
bear with their.j presence; raise no remon-'
strace; pursue your systematised course; si
lently, laboriously strive,- night and day, for a
good schopl, and'directors, will be soon forgot
ten. That which is urged upon teachers, when
evils surround them, is equally true as the rem
edy when directors and parents find themselves
associated with incompetent or unreasonable
teachers. The principle is simply this: that
nine, times in fen, if. a fault-finder will cease
frbm complaining and do the neglected duty of
bis negligent neighbor; he will save time, re
prove and reform his neighbor, and bettor than
all, cause no wear and tear of conscience or sa
crifice of right, sijnrd workers may have dif
ficulties in then? hours of idleness, fortunately
the faithful teacher can have no idle hours.—
Reward lin'd punishment ought to be in the pa
rent’s bond, even when their ground is school
for then the scholar learns that tea-
Jcher and parent, are hut continuations, each of
the other. School is helped by home, and home
is helped by school, but if parents will not as
sume this auty thankfully, then of course it
devolves upon the teacher.
Punctuality, and extra school virtues; belong
■to the parent’ssphere. But if parents neglect,
teachers must assume their culture. Thus, as |

school, though there are peculiar duties resting
npotfeacb party, yet it ie equally the duty,of
all to make up for the incoropetency, or idleness
of any one, for the school is whot| we labor for,
not our own rights, or will, or character. There
.are few teachers who have really studied their
profession, but such rarely find difficulty in
-their relations to society, or the school. They,
are usually, as they oughtto be! virtually inde

The State of the Campaign.
; It is yet early in the Canvass, and there isja
| consequent inactivity in the - country. Some,
]are resting in the belief that nothing-needs do
ling but to await the coming of flection, hitch
iup our wagons, gp to the polls, and put in the
i.votes which shall carry the representatives ,of
lour party into the places we- Wish them [to
1 occupy. Some say, “oh the Democratic Party
|is hopelessly divided,” and that through their
■failure to bring op their ranks, we are to suc
ceed. They reason thus: In the-Southern
States the breach in the party renders several
States doubtful/ as to whether one or another
of the three Democratic candidates will be able
to succeed in them. Thus they will be divided
up among them. In the eastern section, there
■is a strong Republican majority, unless it be in
Rhode Island and Connecticut where the gap
l in the Democracy, say they, leaves plenty nf
room for the Republicans to walk through. Of.
i the Middle States, Ohio is certain; Greeley
I pledges NeW York; Pennsylvania is Republican
iby 50,000 majority and there is some hope'6f
Delaware. Indiaoa and Illinois are, like the
| whole North West, sure for Lincoln. From
j this they reason that, in the first place, the
1 Democrats can neither of them hope for an
; election, but the Republicans are as good as in
power. Let us see whether, or not, this bad
better be taken for granted without some-less
enthusiastic reasoning.
As a looker on at the time of , the Charleston
Convention, here away from the irrepressible
‘conflict raging as it would seem, between Doug
las and the Slave Power, t could but notice
their skilful maneuvering. i
They knew that the now thoroughly aroused
indignation of the northern people,,would) sulj>
mit no longer to the ecroaohments of the
,Southern aristocracy ; and knowing this,]were
iaware that no candidate who subscribed to their
doctrines in regard to slavery, could succeed at
the North. It was, then, their only hope of
suepess, to take up a candidate whom they jcould
make appear averse .to their doctrine, while he
was really sound upon the principles lately en-.
grafted into the Democratic party; and with
him to draw off .from the that
moveable belt of ndn-coromitted voters at the
North, who would not endorse the Administra
tion in support of an ultra Southerner, and to
make this middle party seem hostile to the
Southern wing, an<f riot very hostile to the Re
publicans—with such a candidate they thought
,to make the last bold attempt to deceive tbe
people into submission. {Consequently a great
row was gotten up—men challenged to mortal
combat—States seceded forever from the Con
vention and the party—an awful wail went up,
and old, gray headed' Democrats almost shed
tears over their ruptured and rotten party. —
The thimble-rigging Douglas, had torn ont the
eyes of the National Democratio-partyj'and “the
last hope of tbs Dpion and the country” was
drowned in the overwhelming rain 1
There was no man. so well calculated, for this
double dealing ns Stephen A. Douglas. Be has
done more for the South than any other, living
man, and at tbe same time has harped so long
upon his “great principle of Popular Sover
eignty,” never expressing his belief that slavery
is, or is not wrong, that he is better calculated
to make the North believe that he is hostile to
the South, than any other man they could
choose. These are the available powers of S.
A. Douglas.
■ Now from this I believe it is not too much to
say that we, at last, must fight a united opposi
tion in this State. Indeed, is there anything
too mean or void of -principle, for the Demo
cratic party to do, if it only leads them into
power ? What have they not done within the
last eight years? Would it be worse, as a
dernier resort, to unite the seeming factions of
tlieir party, and thus by abusing the confidence
of thousands of voters who might believe
Douglas unacceptable to the South, use the only
hopgful means of gaining their object? What
are the Bell party doing in New York but
selling to Douglas, while ih .New Jersey they
offer themselves for salp.to Breckinridge? This
istiifll'in good time to at lastJirWg in the Breck
inridgp party in the one, and the Dougins in the
do their best to defeat the Republi
cans. Again they are doing' this to draw the
attention of other States—ours for one. But
.will they be idle meanwhile:? Then there is
no money in the treasury, which is seldom
empty, if there is a|y in the national safe.—
What.they are doirtj; in other States, they are
preparing to do in Pennsylvania. l If there ever
is a time when the two. parties can succeed
united, they will not be divided !~ They believe
that "to-the Victors belong the spoils/’ 1 and if
. they cat,.pot agree, they will agree to disagree
One Demborat said to me; “We only hope to
heat Breckinridge on the popular vote!’’ Were
Democrats ever really so tame as that 1 The
parties in this State,-as .in Indiana, are now
doing all they can to unite all the opposition in
the Statp election. Will they do les#~in the
Presidential election which is vastly more" im
portant? It would not be like them. And if
■ they succeed in, the State Election will it not
be a great element of strength in the Presiden
tial. -Whether or not we are to meet a united
opposition, let us not he behind,-if we must.
There may be no danger, still let us not settle
down, into-the belief, that we. are to succeed to
OiOertainty upon the division'of our enemies.
Better say we will succeed in spy event!
