PACKER was inaugurated last Tues day. It is 6aid that never before was there eo large a concourse of people at Harrisburg. The millitary, musicians and people turned out by thousands. The Stale Government is now fully demo cratic. Let the party, in and out of the Leg islature, look to its laurels; but let not a morbid anxiety to do something great lead 3o hasty ar.d useless legislation. . Dema gogues—men who wish to make a figure, are prone to search for new subjects of leg islative action, balancing the risk of exciting the indignation of a sluggish people againbt jhe chances of political preferment—a kind of "duck or no dinner" game. Such are to be avoided, or, if in the legislature, kept down, by the conservative portion of that body—those who are quite as willing to un do bad things as to-do good. But, honesty, it niuet be confessed that i'we, the people," are a set of Mrs Caudles; for, ere week we complain that the legisla ture are not doing anything, and the next week that they are legislating too much; very much after the fashion of some folks who take up a newspaper, and comp'ain that it contains no news; just as though newspaper publishers could make news. The legislature lias as yet done but little, but this should not disgust us. A "masterly inactivity" is to be preferred to firing off great guns simply because we wish to do something. Great guns are useful at times, but many a man's hand has been blown off while using tliern out of season. Our inclination to grumble because the legislature do nothing arises from an indis tinct and incorrect notion which most of us have that we send our members there to at// whereas their true mission is, to sgc whether there is anything to da; all tlus same a* we send our man to the garret to tee whether the house is on fire. It is of course ■only in cases of necessity that action is re quired, and each fifty or sixty thousand peo ple ol the great State of Pennsylvania can well afford to send a man to Harrisburg for • few months in a year to watch these cases. William duller, The man who was convicted at Wilkesbarre of killing the poor old gerroan, George Mat thias,oommonlycalled the seven mile dutch man, will without doubt be executed. Af ter his conviction a motion was made in court by his counsel in arrest of judgment, and also for a new trial. These motions were argued on Saturday last before Judge Conyngham, and refused, lie is doomed, and if the evidence can be believed he richly deserves his fate, honid as it is. lin agin a stout athletic man, with the eye of a tigar and the tread of a cat, gliding up be hind an aged roan who sits dozing belore his fire, and with a noose such as a deamon would shout to see thrown around the old mams neck, jerking hint with one mighty effort backward to the ground, and then completing, if not already completed, the work of death by out his brains. It was after this fashion the murder is •apposed to have been committed, for the rope was found around the body when the latter was taken from the well, so deeply imbedded in the lieh that strangulation must have immediately followed its first ap plication. This noose or garrott is said to be a curiosity of the most diabolical kind, having contrivances which none but a devil or a witch could imitate. A button is form ed at the end of the rope by turning up and interweaving the strands in so ingenious snd incomprehensible a manner that one involuntarily snuffs the air for burning brim •tone while looking at it. Mullen is thought to be an experienced assassin. Dedication 01 l!'J M. £. Church. The new Methodist Episcopal Church in this place will be dedicated to the services of God on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, February 7th, 1858. It is expected that Bish op L. Scott, D.

A protracted meeting will be held at the new Church,commencing on Saturday even ing, February 6th. Several Ministers from abroad will be preseut, and the exercises will no doubt be of the most interesting character. It is hoped much good may be done, and many souls converted. They have the mateiial and all is wunted is for them to get the work fairly commenced and (their labors are rewarded.

HORRIBLK MURDER—ROUBLE PARRICIDE The Utica Telegraph gives the particulars of the most revolting murder committed at Thompson's Mills, Poolville, Oneida Coun ty, by WHliam Comstock, who took the life of his father and mother on Saturday night last, and fiendishly ail their hearts out of their bodies. There is no cause assigned further than that the son was of intemperate habits, and it was believed was laboring under an effect of mania-a-potu nl the time. In his own statement he said he was tel egraphed to procure the hearts ol human beings. After murdering his parents, Jarcd and Clarissa Comstock, he went to his broth er's house to perpetrate the same hellish deed upon him and his wife, but they for tunately were not at home. He is under arrest. The Coroner's jury rendered a ver dict in accordance with the above facts.— Comstock is about thirty-seven years old and unmarried.

CiT In consequence of ihe many difficul ties that have arisen with regard to the con struction of the Relief law, passed by the Legislature at the extra session, in October last, Mr. Cofiey has introduced a bill in the Senate to remedy the defect. It provides that the Sixth Section shall bo so construed "That the Slay of execution provided for, shall extend as well to judgment entered more than a year prior to the passage of said.act, as to judgments entered within one year from that dale." THOMAS VV.

Measnrea, net Men. The enemies of the Democratic party are everywhere predicting its disruption, and rejoicing in the hope that it is soon to be broken up and destroyed. Whilst we are in no way surprised that such a hope should fill them with joy, and can readily under stand the grounds upon which their predic tions are based, .we do not entertain the slightest fears of their ever being realized. It is true that prominent members of the democratic party have seen proper to differ with the administration upon its Kansas and Central American policy, but it by no means follows that iu so doing they intend to cut themselves loose from the democratic par ty ; and indeed, il such be their intention, it would not necessarily, or even probably, end in the disruption of that party. The very idea upon which the democratic organ ization is based, and on which it has invar iably acted, will save it from such a catas trophe. With measures and not men, as the foundation-wall npon which it is built, it necessarily follows that it can never be des troyed so long as it adheres to this as the fundamental doctrine of iis existence. Like all other parties it has its great lights—men to whom it is deeply attached, and whose lead it delights to follow. But this attach ment springs less from any partiality of the party towards its leaders than from admi ration of commanding abilities, coupled with a long and consistent devotion to the great doctrines upon which it is founded; and whenever, therefore, we find one of these, 10 matter how great his personal popularity, deserting the leading measures of t! a democratic parly, wo will stujly see that party as promptly deserting him.— "Men change, but principles lives forever," and immutably fixed as it is upon unchang ing rock of principle, neither the demo cratic party, nor any respectable portion of it, can ever be made to lollow permanently those who, misled by error or influenced by ihe promptings of ambition, may choose to depart from the great political chart laid down for its government. We are not with out many examples iu support of what we have said. The merest tyro iu the history of the democratic party is familiar with the fact that attempts have again and again been made to destroy its organization, by men who had enjoyed its fullest confidence and occupied its highest places of honor and trust. All know the fate of those who deserted their party and made war upon the administration of General Jackson.— Whilst he, for adhering firmly and unflinch ingly to its great principles, was applauded and sustained by the people, they, as a con sequence of deserting them, were driven into political exile, and stripped of their power and influence. And lew there are who do not remember the fate of one who, after having spent the best years of his life in the ranks of the democracy, and won the highest honors in its gift, ingloriously buried himself in a bold attempt to bury his old party. We might give other instances of a like character, but these are sufficient for our purpose, and enough to show how vain is the idea than any man, or set of men, no matter how commanding their talents, or how high their positions, ran, by deserting' the principles of the democratic party, des troy its organization, or materially damage its prospects of continued and ultimate suc cess. Such attempts have often been made, and £.? ol'letl failed; and qgcli predictions as our opponents are now putting forth have always ended, as these will certainly end, in idle prophecies anu unmeaning boasts.— Wash. Union. THE INAUGURATION. —The administration of Governor VVm. F Packer commenced Tuesday, under the most favorable auspices. The day was clear, warm and delightful, assuming more of the mildness of spring than of the rugged asperity of winter. An im mence pisplay of military aud a large assem blage of ladies graced with their presence the inauguration ceremonies. Thousands of strangers and many ol the citizens of Ilar risburg appear lo liavo boon present. Men of a'l parties and opinions were there to attest their cheerful acquisceuce in Ihe decision of the majority, and pay a proper respect to the new Chief Magistrate of a great State Such a demonstration is a gartifying proof of ihe benign influence of popular govern ment, andsho ws wi h what ar dent devotion tho masses of the people are attached to establish institutions. To Gov. I'ackor the reception which he was met, and the bright dawn of his executive career must have given cause for secret joy and the in spiration of high hopes. We trust that his administration will prove as prosperous and useful BS it has been brilliant it its incep tions.—JJanisburg Union. N BWSPAPERS. —Judge Louisstreet, the new ly elected president of the South Carolina College, thus sets forth the value of a'news paper: Small is the sum that is required to pat ronizo the newspaper, and most amply re numerated is the patron. 1 care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which he takes, it is next to impossible to fill it fifty-two times a year without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whose son is off from home, at school, should supply him with ■ paper. 1 still remember what difference there was between those of my schoolmates who had and those who had not access to newspapers. Other things being equal, the first were decidedly superior to the last in debate and composition at least. The reason is plain; they have command of more facts. Youth will peruse newspapers with delight, when they will read nothing else.

The "will Of the majority," when justly considered, it is the pride and boast of our naiion, but it becomes us to know what we are talking about, when we undertake to base arguments and draw con clusions from this phrase, in its abstract signification. We are governed by the u'ill of the majority, but we do not thereby mean, the will of the majority of the gross mass of the peopl#. If this was required in all cases, the government would very often find itself at a dead stand still. If this ab surd construction of the "will of the ma jority" had been enforced, there would have been numberless instances in the past his tory of the country, in which our system of government would have proven a most magnificent failure. The instances are not few or singular, where Statos, and even our nation, have been governed by rulers, who were not chosen by a majority of the peo ple participating in the election, much less by a majority of the actual voters entided to participate in it. A President of the U. States has held his seat for four years, and shaped our national policy "for weal or I woe," who received the voles of only a minority of the voters at that election I A ; Virginia paper recently exposed this falla- I cious, red Republican notion of the "will of the majority," thns : . "Itis a ridiculous and dangerous heresy to mantain that an abstract majority rules in this country. Our's is not a majority gov ernment, cut a trcveroment of checks and balances-i-a government of constitution and laws—where the rights of the minority are protected 110 less than the rights of the ma jority. A majority of the members of the House of Representatives, which is the pop- I ular representative branch of the govern ment, cannot pass a law. It requires a concurrence, also, of a majority of the Senate, and then the sanction of the Presi dent—all of which together is more than equal to a two-thirds vote. A majority of Ihe people of Virginia is not required to elect a Governor or to adopt a Constitution. A mi nority may do either. Suppose at the next Gubernatorial election the whole opposition party in Virginia from any cause, were to refuse to vote, would that invalidate the election f "Suppose only 25,000 votes were to bo cast, when we have seven times that many in the State, would that render the election less valid! The idea is simply ri diculous." At the late New York State election we believe some one hundred thousand voters took no part in the choice of State officers, which would make the persons elected, minority candidates, though no one dares question, that they are legally and justly the incumbents of the respective posts to which they were chosen. It is quite clear then that there is such a thing as an incorrect and absurd construc tion of this much-talked-of and equally much abused "will of the majority." It is apparent that men, for time-serving and selfish purposes, can talk specious non sense even about this sacred principle, and that it becbrrirs us, when they become bla tant and vociferous over a subject, whose justice and sanctity no one thinks of ques tioning, much less ot resisting, to scan well their motives! The will of the majority is only of effica cy and value when ascertained in the legal way, and manifested through legitimate channels. The man who seeks his just power in determining the government, un der which he is to live, and exercises his right by expressing his will at the ballot-box —the C.nly modg known to our laws and governmental system, by which his will and that of the fJiajorifyi is to.be ascertained —has a right to complain if his will has been disregarded or rendered ineffective by fraud or wrong. But he, who withholds his influence, and refuses to participate in the government through *' legal mode, thereby to alt intents ana purposes, yields his rights to others, and empowers those who do exercise their elective rights, to select such rulers, to confer such power up on them, and to frame such government as to them seems best. Whatever may be the decision of his fellow citizens, he cannot claim that any right of his has been viola ted, or that his will has been disregarded. He should have done as others did—ex pressed his will by his vole—and must now submit to the " will of the majority," as legally ascertained. If the public will apply these notoriously just considerations to exisiing Kansas affairs, we should soon be rid of much of the clap trap and absurd nonsense which we are compelled to hear about the "will of the majority." There is just and fair ground for a difference of judgment respecting the matter of the acceptance of the Lecompton Constitution. Let ihe discussion be con fined to this, and not have the subject bur dened with specious and threadbare devices to tickle the fancy, and mislead the mind from the true issues. FHOM KANSAS—THE LECOMPTON CONSTITU TION — St. Louis, Jan. 16. —The Republican learns that General Calhoun has returned to Lecompton, under Rn escort of United States troops. It is also stated that he was to leave Leavensworth on Wednesday last for Washington with the Lecompton Con stitution. The vote upon it at the last elec tion is expected to arrive here to-night. Ey The people of Bristol, R. 1., we see it stated, are losing their hair, without any known cause. The Phoenix says that several have lost all the hair from their heads and bodies, the whole disappearing within two weeks, leaving not even an eye lash. The doctors cannot .account for it. ty The birthday of Daniel Webster, the 18th inst., was observed more generally than it had been in years past in Boston.— The Webster Association, as well as a large number of private clubs, celebrated the day in an appropriate manner. IT IS estimated that 350,000 gallons of native California wine were made during the vintage of 1857, and 50,000 of native brandy. Public and Dome Education. Do children, on the whole,learn more good or more harm from mixing freely with others of the same age t This is a question which many of the wisest parents ponder over and find it difficult to answer practically when it comes to the case of their own children.— Apart from the question of expense, is pub lic or home education the best for tire child I Those persons Who aro themselves unedu cated are very apt to suppose that there is no question about the matter, that every thing commonly connected with the educa tion, either directly or indirectly, is of course, amongst the highest of blessings. Nor is it until one child is found to have learned all sorts of profanity and other vices at school, and another son returns home ruined from his college course, that they suspect the slightest danger to be connected with the usual means of education. But those who know what education is, who know the many dangers and difficul ties that attend its pursuit, will sometimes doubt whether public or home educatiop is most advantageous for their sons. In Eng land, many have declared on each side of this important question. Dr. Arnold was in favor of public education, because he thought it fostered manliness, independence and public spirit. On the other hand, one of the profoundest thinkers in Great Britain, and now a distinguished Professor in one of her Universities, and the author of the "Nitional History of Enthusiasm," has written a work in favor of home educa tion. Cowper was ruined by a public school.— His gentle nature was crushed, and he be came so timid of public life, that he had to throw up the lucrative post of reading clerk to the House of Commons. On the other hand, Lord Dudley, a man of profound statesmanship, was quite disqualified for public life by the retirement and seclusion of home education. Not accustomed to mix freety with those of his own age and stand ing, his truly great powers were perfectly useless to society. He used to talk aloud to himself in whatever company, and had to resign his position as Privy Counsellor to the King on that account. Once, on return ing home ftom the clubs, a friend asked a seat in his carriage to a certain point. He fell into a reverie in the carriage and said aloud to himself, "Confound the fellow, I shall be obliged to ask him to come home and dine with me." His friend was a wag, and he also meditated out loud in the samo tone, saying, "Confound the fellow, he will be asking me to dine with him, how shall I get ofF?" This woke up Lord Dudley, who then insisted that his friend should go home and dine with him, and they became firm friends. On another occasion, he, from never having been engaged in any quarrel, was anxious to try his own courage, and for, no odier cause, grossly insulted a well-known duellist, a dead shot. They met, and, by some miracle, he escaped. Having cooly stood lire, he explained the whole matter ! There can be no doubt that, whatever evil he might have acquired at a public school, it would at least have done much toward | shaking him clear ofsucb serious foibles and eccentricities. Sir Robert Peel, who sat on the same form with Lord Byron at Harrow, always declared that it was a public education that had made him. Lord Byron was in a great measure morally ruined by it. Different natures, then require different modes of training, and what will develops one will crush another. Public education is found highly useful to English noblemen, because they hare thus, for a time at lpast, to take rank according to their merits, and not their titles. In the neighborhood of Boston, the feel ing is decidedly in favor of p.ublic education and opposed toprivale. Those whose wealth would make expense no object, prefer their children to graduate first at the public High School and then at Harvard. The graduate I who took the highest honors at West Point last yeax was the son of a distinguished Uni tarian of Boston, a young man who had pre viously graduated with renown at Harvard. This was one of the most thorough and suc cessful instances of public education we know of in this country. Each of these systems, public and private, has its advantages, and its disadvantages.— Where there is sufficient strength of body and of mind to overcome the necessary dangers and difficulties, there are unques i lionably the greatest advantages in a public | education throughout. But education, like physic, has to be adapted to the patient.— j Physically, the rough and tumble, the | shouts and plays of a lot of healthy boys on being let out of school, do often as much to make them men as the lessons they learn while in it. Many a lad whose parents flat ter themselves that their son is becoming an intellectual giant, would be doing far better for liim, if they would let him wear rougher cloth aud knock about like and with other boys of his own age, insteadof keeping him at home a pale, intollectual youth to pass through a feeble, sickly manhood to an ear ly grave. Mental robustness, too, depends more on that of the body, than almost any other cir cumstance, and a mere pigmy acuteness without this, renders its possessor misera ble, and enfeebles his entire system in pro portion as such education prevails. Morally, public education produces al ways a very marked effect—ofton a very bad, but in other cares an equally good result. To those who hare sufficient strength of princi ple to go through the ordeal firmly and well, it strengthens everything good and makes the whole character more manly, vigorous and robust in virtue. Yet many of the best dis posed youths have been utterly ruined by being thrown, without sufficient care to watch and correct evil effects, upon a pub lic course of education. Let, however, the end be carefully kept in mind, i. e. to educate the body, the intel lect, and moral character to a strong, healthy, and well-proportioned development, let the tendency and effects of each step taken be often carefully watched and corrected, and the youth only gradually exposed to each evil and danger in propotion as he exhibits strength to overcome h—then this guard ed exposure is in no danger of being carried too far. Without this watchfulness, how ever, either public education or private will only lead to ruin. School* can never per form the work of pareut*. GOT. PackerT Cabinet. Secretary of State —William M.
