Senator Snmner, the Republican leader,
rose in tbV Senate, on the 19th inst., and
.declared that President Johnson's message
ot the 18ih- inst., which we publish in
another column in reply to a resolution
adopted by the Senate calling upon him for
information as to the condition of the States
lately in rebellion is a "whitewashing mei
rage." And, notwithstanding the indigna
tion expressed by many Senators of the Re
publican tide, be defiantly asserted that be
had no qualifications to make upon the Ian
guage he used, but that be meant just what
he had said and intended to maintain bis
declarations and position.
Here is the opening of the fire to be
poured opon the President by the Republi
cans iii opposition to his restoration policy.
Let every man read the message carefully,
and decide for himself, whether it s not in
exact accordance with the plans and princi
ples of restoration proclaimed by Mr. John
son immediately upon his inauguration as
President. We think no man can conclude
otherwise ; and having thus concluded, we
ask: who are guilty of ''whitewashing!"
Were we not told by Republicans that they
would support Andjew Johnson in his work
of restoration. If so, they are the ones
who have been "whitewashing ; Without
it they could not have had a majority in the
present House of Representatives. They
wujiewasnea tor tne purpose oi electing a
I majority of Representatives. They while
i washed to elect the State officials of Penn
Uylvania, New York, New Jersey, and al
most every Western State in the Union.
(They whitewashed to elect a majority oi the
Legislature of Pennsylvania. In truth they
have whitewashed from the beginning of
ihe administration of Mr. Lincoln to the
present time.' Ttvey whitewashed Mr. Lin
coln and lead him into a support of their
hypocritical philanthropy, and now tbey
whitewash his widow by an appropriation
of 25,000. They have "whitewashed the
vhole Republican party, to hide the black
ness and darkness of their deeds. And all
ihings are whitewashed by these heretics,
jxcept the Constitution and laws of the
Country which hsve besn by them so com
pletely blackwashed as to reflect a negro in
II their pails.

Tut. Democrats were right, when they de

cede. They were right when ihey claim

hen they alleged that the Abolitionists
era the real disunionists. To-day we have

filtssagc oflliB f resident to Ihe Senate. .
To the Senate of tht United Slate's :J ' . " :
In reply to the resolution adopted by the
Senate on the 12th, I have the honor to
state that the rebellion waged by a portion
of the people against the properly constitu
ted authorities of the Government of the
United States has bees suppressed ; that
the United States are ic possession of every
State in which the insurrection existed, and
that as far as could be done, Ihe Courts of
the United Slates have been restored, post
offices re-established, and steps taken to
ptit into, effective, pperation the revenue
laws of the country.
As the result of the measures instituted
by the Executive with Ihe view cf indues
ing a resumption of the functions of ihe
State, comprehended in the inquiry of the
Sen ate; the people in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, have
recognized their respective State govern
ments, and are yielding obedience to the
laws and Governmeni of Ihe United Stales
with more willingness and greater prompt
itude than under the circumstances could
reasonably have been -anticipated. The
proposed amendment lo the Constitution
providing for the abolition of slavery for
ever w'thin the limits of the country has
been ratified by each one of thoe Slates,
with the exception of Mississippi, from
which no official information has been re
ceived; and iti nearly all of them measures
have been adopted, or are now pending, to
confer upon freedmen the privileges which
are essential to their confort, protection,
and security. -
la Florida and Texas the people are ma
king commendable progress in restoring
their State gbvernments, and no doubt is
entertained that tbey will at an early period
be in a condition to resume all of their
practical relations with the Federal Gov
ernment. In that portion of the Union
lately in rebellion the aspect of affairs is
more promising than, in view of all the
circumstances, could well have been ex
pected. The people throughout the entire
South evince an audible desire to rene.nr
their allegiance to the government, and to
repair the devastations of war by a prompt
and cheeiful return to peaceful pursuit.-.
An abiding faith is entertained that their
actions will conform to their professions,
and that in acknowledging the supremacy
of ihe Constitution and the laws of the
United Stales, their loyalty will be unre
servedly given to the government whose
leniency they cannot fail to appreciate, and 4
whoie fostering care will soon restore them
lo a condition of prosperity. It is true that
in some of tbe Stales the demoralizing ef
fects of Ihe war are to be seen in occasion
al dieorders, but these are local in charac
ter, not frequent in occurrence, and an
rapidly disappearing as the authority of
civil government is extended and sustained.
, Perplexing questions were naturally to be
expected from tbe great and sudden change
in the relations between the two races, but
systems are gradually developing them
selves ucder which the freedman will re
ceive the protection to which he is justly
entitled, and by means of his labor make'
himself a useful and independent member
of the community in which be has bis
homi. '
From all the information in my possesion,
and from thawbich I hajre jecently de
rived from the mo?t reliable authority. I am
induced to cherifch the belief that sectional
animosity is surely and rapidly merging it
self into a spirit of nationality, and that rep
resentation, connected with a properly ad
justed system of taxation, will result in a
harmonious restoration of the relations of
the States to the national Union.

EDUCATIONAL.
The educational interest being ono of
great importance, and one which should be
continually kept before the-people, we
consider it appropriate and necessary, that
a Qortion of our paper should be devoted to
the publication of matters relating to Com
mon Schools and the Common School Laws
of Pennsvlvania. We Lave, therefore set
apart a column fer this purpose, and shall
endeavor to make it interesting and instruc
tive. The Reverend W. H. Campbell, D. D.,
President of Rutgers College, addressed the
graduating class of ihe New Jersey Slate
Normal School, upon the Essentials for a
Successful Teacher, in appropriate "terms'
from whose address we clip the following
remarks upon one of these essentials:
a thirst roa knowledge. - ,
Appreciating the end of his own being,
the teacher himself wishes to know, that he
may do. It is not merely knowledge for
itself, for the mere sake of knowing, which
is desired. This would be mere curiosity,
which is by no means an elevated feeling.
If one knew all the languages into which
Babel has cleft the earth, and were that tbe
end of his acquisition, a day laborer, with a
very moderate share oi knowledge of his
mother tongue, but who took the well-being
of others into his thoughts and feelings, his
plans and end, would be not only a better
man in the moral aspects of the question
but also a better educated man, in the true
sense of tbe word education. Nor is the
knowledge sought because, by the acquisi
tion, its possessor can become rich and
powerfal. This is mere selfishness, which
is a base and sordid feeling; and wherever
it gets the mastery it renders a man so con
sciously base that, self-condemned, he ex
cludes himself, as unworthy, from tbe soci
ety and converse Of men of eminent virtue
and philanthropy. Bat the thirst for knowl
edge, which the. good can approve, is his
who, while he does not ignore self, or seek
to be better than our Lord required, sicca
he commands us to love our neighbor at
ourseff, nevertheless wishes to know much
in order that be may do more, . which will
be beneficial unto others.
In a word, then, tbe successful teacher
must first have become a successful scholar.
He must, in some way or oiher, have learn
ed the lesson, and learned it thoroughly,
that a man is not his own, having no rela
tions or affinities to others. He is placed
here to be rain and sunshine, fresh air and
fragrance, food and flowers, any thing and
every thing that is good and beautiful, con
solatory and strengthening, reforming and
purifying, unto every one that - needs his
help and unto whom he is able to render
it. Let this big thought come down into the
soal (and what contractibility of heart mnsL,
have been overcome before this thought
could find room in these shriveled, shruken
sools of oars) let this big thought, I say,
comedown into the soul, and it converts
the man at once into a most diligent learner.
What must I do, and how can my duty be
best done 1 are now the life-questions which
are ever being asked, Sod unto which ready i
answers are also evervonchsafed ; for here
he who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds. And new, on the strength of the an
swers, you find him diligently prosecuting
his work of preparation for future usefulness.
Grammer, Geography, Mathematics, Natu
ral Sciences, Mental or Moral Philosophy,
Latin or Greek, French or German, whatev
er it be whereby his usefulness can bo pro
moted, is unweariedly pursued. Early and
late yon find him employed, and no figure
of rpeech brings up so forcibly before us
the deeirtJ which ever prompts his action, as
that just used bj us wbeo we spoke of a
thirst for knowledge.
Now put the young man who has gone
through such experiences into a school
room, and would you not expect him to suc
ceed ? Can you be near a fire and no: get
warm? Shall the sun shine, and darkness
not flee away ? Shall a young woman pass
before you day by day in tbe schoo lroom,
who has consecrated herself for the good of
the children to a lite of weariness, bearing
their perverseness and waywardness, and
manifesting an unceasing regard for tbe
welfare of ber pupils, without becoming
more fragrant to their moral senses than
perfumes and spices are to our natural or
gans 1 Before such a teacher an unwilling
ness to study this subject or that would pass
away as soon as the precept of the teacher,
fortified by her own beautiful example, had
taken bold of the tender heart of the pupil,
and convinced him wholly that any study
was to be loved and pursued according as
it was filled to make him better and mora
useful.
It is back of the school-room where the
success may be gaioed, that the foundation
of that success was laid. In tbe private
chamber, where seen only by God, be de
voted himself lo a life of usefulness ; ic the
distant rural school-house, where under
many and almost insurmountable difficul
ties, he prosecuted his studies; in Ihe rooms
of this noble institution, where his industry
and regard for everything that is seemly and
good, has made his name almost a proverb,
in these spots bis success was gained.
Here he has sown, and what remained for
him was to go forth and reap his harvest.
Holland. The education of the people is
very well attended to. It is not compulsory
but every inducement is held out for par
ents to send their children to school. The
teachers are well trained for their work, and
well paid; the fees are low, and if parents
are unable to pay at all, their children re
ceive their education gratuitously; and
parents, who will not send their children lo
school, are uniformly defied relief from the
government funds. There is a normal
school for the education of schoolmasters in
almost every important town. Nearly every
child in Holland, above len years of age, is
at least able lo read and write. .
Prof. Thomas Lucy, an efficient worker in
the causa of education in Maryland, has re
cently removed frsm Elkridge Landing to
Baltimore. His new relations are with tbs
Baltimore Female College, a well-known
institution.
School Law Questions.
Qaestioa How many days constitute a
school month t : i
Answer. The act of April 17th, 1865, de
clares, "That twenty-two days shall be ileld
to be a school month, and that two Satur
days in each month, as the proper board
shall designate, which two Saturdays shall
be held to be a part of the school month,
may, at the discretion, and Dy an amrma-
tive vote of a majority of all tbe members
of the board of directors, or controllers, te
appropriated to institutes for the improve
ment of ibe teachers of the said district :
Provided, That in districts, in which the
schools are, or shall be, kept open, and in
operation, the maximum term now allowed
by law, and tbe teachers employed by ihe
year, the lorexoing claase as to the number
of days in the school month, shall uot apply
any further, than that the reports and statis
tics of tbe schools shall be kept in accord
ance therewith, and that district institutes
may be held as thereby directed ; all acts
or parts of acts, inconsistent herewith, be
and are hereby repealed."
V By this act, the holding of district insti
tutes upon two Saturdays is left discretion-
ary with the board of directors. If a msjor-
ity of the board, by resolutions at a regular
or stated meeting, declare in favor of district
institutes and aleo,'fix the two Saturdays of
each month upon which they shall be held,
then these two Saturdays are to be consid
ered as part of the twenty-two days.
In districts where no institutes are held,
the full twenty-two days most be taught for
each month.
No district is entitled to its share of ibe
appropriation, in which these conditions
have not been fully complied with.
Where institutes are held, it is necessary
that the time of ihe regular school day
should be used. Ac institute held but half
a day on two Saturdays in each month, will
cot answer therequirements of tbe law.
The Easton Argus says with truth, "With
out exception, the meanest of all publica
tions issued in this country is Harper's
weekly pictorial, which is thrust under the
eyes of every man who travels fifty miles
on a railroad train. Pretending to be a lit
erary paper, it is filled every week with the
most senseless illiberal, unjust and untruth
ful attacks on the Democratic party, resort
ing to picture? to help the dirty work. No
Democrat should touch it. We have a re
spect for a manly, outspoken, honest He
publican paper, but the man who liko Har
per, sails under false colors, is no better
than a common swindler."
Notwithstanding its mean and despica
ble character, the dirly thing is sometimes
puffed by Democratic papers.
We notice that Congress has concurred
in the views of the Secretary of the Treas
ury as regard ihe resumption of specie
payment by a vote of 144 to 6. The speedy
return to pecie payment would do serious
damage to some of the heavy f-hodJy con
tractors, thieves and plunderers of the Gov
ernment. Until specie forms part of our
circulating currency we may uot expect
staple goods or groceries to decline much in
price. In a manner, the 'quotation ol gold,
and silver regulates the price of goods.

Beware of Ambuscades.
Few people realize the fact that disease
lies in ambush everywhere, ready lo seize
upon the weak. The strong pass through
many perils in safety; the etrengthless fall
by ibe wayside.
It is amazing that the feeble should tot
ter with uncertain steps over the face of the
earth in danger every day ofjalling vic
tims to the morbid influences by which we
are all surrounded, when a tested end prov
en vegetable tonic, capable of endowing
them with the vigor they need, is procura;
ble in every cily, town and settlement. It
might reasonably be thought that after the
twelve years' experience which the world
has bad of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
alt would know that its effect is to prevent
disease.
The fact is notorious that a dose of poi
son which will scarcely affect a vigorous
man ic perfect health will kill a weak one.
Now, what is the cause of epidemic dis
eases 1 roisoii in the air. At this season
the atmosphere is surcharged with the
eeeds of intermittent, remittent, rheum
atism, pulmonary disorders, bilious com
plaints, and the like. Persons whose ner
vous systems are relaxed are the first to
succumb to these distempers.' Brace up
the physical energies then, with this poten
tial vegetable tonic. It is lh6 most power
ful recuperant which (he botanic kir.gJorn
has ever yielded to patient research and
experiment. Try it. The blindest disciple
of the old medical dogmas will at least ad
mit that a tonic and alterative; compounded
of approved herbs, roots atul barks, can do
no harm, while the testimony of thousands
invites a trial of its virtue.
