VOLUME 2. (QM BIMCiTIQ>S. For the American CUMB. AN ADDRESS, Delivered to the Bulla County Teachers' Institute, Nov. &th, 1865, By Rev. J. J. Rockwell. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Yester day, I was requested by your worthy Su to deliver an address on this (occasion. In compliance with that re quest I am now before you. Man can bo viewed in »io light more in teresting than as a progressive being. His iourney from the cradle to the grave is a hurried passage through diversified scenes of childhood, youth, manhood and old age. Childhood is much the same to nil; the happiest portion of our boing ; made up of innocent joys, intermingled with smiles and tears, and invested with golden chamies unknown t%man in after years. Men begin the race of life much alike. But'ou in the distance we behold them traveling in paths widely divergent, and occupying positions in the strongest possible contrast. Of a half dozen youths reared at the .same fireside, enjoying the prayers and instructions of the same moth er, and the counsels and restraints of the same father; one is in a position of hon or and usefulness, wreathing for his own brow a crown of just and enduring fame, and another is in the lowest state of degradation, an outcast from society, and lost to jfrys of home, honor, friends, aud his own highest interest. And what is the cause of this difleience? It is and must be found in the fact that "man is the architect of his own fortune ,* ' or in other words, that man is the subject of education Education signifies, to lead out, a leading forth, and n< eessarily implies that there are within man certain faculties suscep tible of development, and powers capable j of progression. Man cannot be destitute \ hat mind can know its capacities; forever ris ing in the scale of moral and int llectual refincuiout,pouring a flood of light around its own pathway, passing from the known .♦o the unknown, from the visible to the invisible, from the finite to the infinite, upward and onward in : ts wondrous flight to the throne of God. . With such a view of man's nature how imperfect and absurd that view of educa tion which inquires, ''what is to be gain ed by it ?" Or in other words, how much jmoncy may be made by an education ? We should educate, because knowledge is the natural good of man's mental na ture. Intellectually, his powers are en feebled, starved, and destroyed without knowledge. The man who estimates ed ucation only in the light of pemniarglost \ and gain, educates but one power ol his pature, and that the basest. Selfishness as the controlling pasMon, converts the juan into a wretched miter, and shut* out from his soul the sunlight of virtue and iknowladge; and leaves him in eternal for gctfuldess,—-thp victim of bis sordid sel fishness in the estimation of the good and •wise; "Creation's blot, creation's blank" We eofaotijnea take an incorrect view of education, by supposing that it is lim ited to the short period spent in the school loom. Education is a life work. The mrsery, tho Common school, the Acad iny, the College are but different stages | the one great progressive work- Many jp, bat none should lay aside their stud p when they quit aoJjool. A truer, no ler sentiment was never uttered than 'ben the poet declared : AMERICAN CITIZEN "Ld us have Faith that Right makes Might; and in that Faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it"— A..

It is a ionrce of lappincss which can never fail! Even 'ir Isaac Newton,with his ] own ml caweities so fully developed, and v h all hi vast ac quisition of knowledge felt t'lt he was like a school boy .amuse 1 with t e pebbles and shell:i upon the shore whiletlie great ocean of lay undist'd>ed be fore him. lint his anxiety to i nd his discoveries was in no n_n a!;4ed, but each new truth gained, investc the un known with increased uttnctiois. And thus,we may be forever prqiresiing in the'; pursuit of knowledge; at every H «pin our shining pathway, increased desires and enlarged capacities will ns onward.' There is one element if true educa tion too frequently ncglecte\—an element l indeed with out which no t duration cai, be rowp/ete. We mean th<^education o! the heart, or in other lh« cduca tiou of man's moral nature.

People who itch fur notoriety, corporations who want their backs scratched, travelling lecturers who want ticklfng, all come to the editor, who many times from pure good nature, and many times lor the sake of being rid of theirimportunities, gives them what.tech nically known as a puff. But, eight times out often, if a reciprocal courtesy which literally costs them nothing, they don't "see" it. They arc the parlies to be favored, and thatend gained, it is all suffi cient. Now we protest against this sort of thing. It is void of reason, justice, or right. A kiss for a blow is very good in theory, but we have found from a long series of experiments, that it don't pay in business traductions. We have not intended our aboye re marks to be taken in a sweeping sense.— Not a bit of it. They are only directed to a particular class, and in a general man ner I'.vcrybody ; whatever the position they fill, have suffered from the absorb ent qualities of these sponges of society without being able to squeeze out much in their turn, and in that peculiar suffer ing we have had our share. We arc sick of it—heartsick. It dosen't pay in tho first place, and in the second place it isiu't pleasant te feci one's self the victim of imposition,for its nothing else. It destroy, esthc feeling of independence, which every one is entitled to possess, and we believe wc have as many rights as anybody else. Hut, yet. notwithstanding the preponder ance of this element iu many comm mi ties, we are glad to put on record that, on the other side, there are many good,squarc! white men, whoappreciatc and act opou the doctrine that one good turn deserves mother. They understand that mankind was made for mutual support, not for oue sided swindling. They show at least common gratitude for favors received, and that is all wc or anybody else can ask —or we're not speaking for ourselves alone. That their numbers may lie in creased and wax great in the lands is the prayer of suffering a community. Let us Understand. Among the amendments to the Consti tution which the- Jcffevsonians of eighty years since deemed estential to the securi ty of public liberties and personal rights was the following: '•Art. 11. A well regulated militia be ing necessary to tlie security of a free State, the right nf the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." W hen our groat war closed, it was deem ed advisable that the soldiers of theJJn ion should be allowed to retain the arms they had so nobly borne, ou condition of the payment by each of what was consid ered by the Government their cash value- An order was accordingly issued from the War Department proffering to each hon orably discharged soldier the privilege of purchasing his weapon on the payment of that t urn, ($5, we believe.) So said, so done ; until now, on the representation 'of the ex-lteLels of Louisana, lieu. Can by has nullified Mr. Stanton's order, di. rccting that the Colored soldiers mustered out of service iu hi* department (Louisi ana) shall nolbe allowed to buy their mus. ket3! We presume the Secretary wil direct the satrap to mind his eye; but meantime the Black soldiers will be mus tered out and dispersed and the reitera fon of the original order will practically to nothing. "The wicked flee when no man pursu etl." The negro-haters at the South have settbeir hearts on having a Black iusur recton. They may fail; but it wilt not be ftr want of diligence and determina tion.

The result of the elections of last week will be, it may be fairly conjectured,to ex tinguish whatthere was of life in the Dem ocratic party. Whatever hopes the man agers may have had of prolonging its ex istence have doubtless died out siuce the defection of New Jersey. Its defeat in that State is to it what the "collapse" is in cholera, ab unmistakable symptom of iuipeuding and inevitable dissolution. — Uutil the occurrence of that untoward event, there was hope even from such mustard-plasters as Governor Seymour's speeches, or such tickling of the soles of the feet as Mr. John Van Bureu's jokes. But since New Jersey ling given way, of course all the doctors have put up their nostrums and gone home, sadder and, we hope wiser men. There is now little left to be done but to prepare for the doceut interment of the old and once powerful or ganization. This sorrowful event can, however, hardly be said to have taken anybody by surprise—probably the chiefs less than anybody else. The symptoms of the malady which on Tuesday last termiua ted fatally showed themselves long ago, and the history of the party for the last ten years have been little better than a study in pathology. Such susceptibility to morbific influences was probably never before witnessed in a political organiza tion. There has hardly a single question come up during the last ten years on which the country ultimately not simply repudiated as impolitic or inexpedient, but stigmatized as repugnant to its mor al sence. Not that there is anything very won iu party managers taking no note of the moral bearing of the measures they sup port, but the Democratic leaders have ex hibited what they and men oftheir stamp consider far more discredible than want of goodness, and that is want of skill in their own calling. The whole art of a successful politician in a free country consist# in Binding out either what the public is likely to do if left to itself, or what he is likely to bo able to persuade it to do, and yet in this art the leaders of the Democratic party, with all their long experience, have shown themselves fatally deficient. We hear a great deal of late of the blunders into which the London Timet , the Satimlay lirvinr, Lord Rus sell, Mr. James Spcncc with regard to the course the American people were likely to take upon the various great ques tions which havo agitated the country during the last fouryears ;but thoir worst mistake have, considering that they are foreigners who never set foot in the country, been trifling compared to those committed by the Seymours. Pcndletons Pierces, Vallandighams, and Curtiscs.— Wc havo no hesitation iu saying, too. that the worst attacks on our national which have appeared in foreign journals during the past four years, have not cov ered half so much really biting insult, so nluch deep contempt for it,as popped out almost from every step taken by the Dem ocrats in opposition to the Government during the war, or in opposition to the anti-slavery agitation which preceded it. Almost every argument used by them in deprecation of the anti-slavery movement was drawn from the supposed indifference of the people to everything to material interests. To everything that was said, or could be said of the moral or political evils of the growth of slavery, they had but one reply, and that was to meddle with it would cause the loss of Southern custom. Whenever, too, they sought to present the possible dissolution of the Union in darkest cclors, its probable ef fect in destroying trade was tbo consid eration which they always put most prom inently in the foreground. . In their efforts, also, to put a stop to the war, the relied almost exclusively np on appeals to the very basest and most selfish motives, fear, love of ease, love of money, and local jealousy, and they did so with a confidence which proved what a very low estimate they had of their au dience- They did their best to ruin the Government credit by talking of repudi ation as a thing sure to happon. They laughed at the notion that the American people would ever be such fools as to pay such a debt, even if they were able to do so. And they were not restrained even by personal pride from soliciting foreign interference, and trying to impress foreigh governments with the belief that nothing else could save the country from ruin. When we condemn LMIUS Napo leon for takiDg advantage of our perplex ity to invade Mexico, it will hardly do to forget what passed between tjje Demo cratic leaders and Lord Lyons in this piijr in th# fall of J862. The moral of the bUtory of the party is vecy plain end simple. It teaches, in most unmist»ki>b)« mioncr; that ltr- soil which of all others politicians are apt to be most unwilling to learn, anil that is, that nothing succeeds in the long run in America but principle. The plau of governing by arrangements, compromises, fictions, concealments, nnd so forth, has been tried for ages in Europe, nnd has there succeeded fairly. Social and polit ical devices based on great wrongs, and sotting moral lawt at defiance, have, for reasous too numerous to specify here, achieved a considerable degree of success But the two conditions which more than all others have contributed to their suc cess—popular ignoraucQ and submissive ness, and the force of tradition—are here totally wauting, and the Democrats par ty has come to grief simply because the lenders refused to recognize this differ ence. With all their abuse of Europe and professions of exemption floui its influence and from the yoke of its ideas, and loud proclnmntiotis of Democratic feeling, the Seymours, Vallandighams, and Peudlctous are European politicians and measure the public by the European standard, popular sagacity and conscience. It has taken them along while to find out their mistake, but we presume they have found it out. These recent defeats are but il'nstra tiuns of the truth that in our politics not Wily is honesty the best policy, but that it is difficult, if not impossible for any public man to rate too highly the class of motives by which our public is actua ted. In other words, he is pretty sure to come out best in the cud who acts as if the people, instead of being selfi-h, timid, parsimonious, despisers of ideas, or, as it is the fashion to call them, "isnm," were chivalrous, opei Vinndedjad mirers not of what seems likely to pay best, but of what, in their very best moods, they think most nearly right, in the highest sense of the word. One effect of tlie result of the elec tions will undoubtedly be to give greater elucidity to Mr. Johnson'* ideas of what the North requires as a settlement. This is all the more importaut, because we think the evcuts of eacdi day make it clearer and clearer that he iuei>us to do right, and that his liberations from the straight road, whether real or crooked ways. The dislike of the loyal .States to half-way measures might, perhaps, have been revealed more strongly, but still it has been revealed. The vote of bst Tues day was a solemn confirmation, as solemn as could well be uttered, of all that has been uttered and done for truth, aud free dom, and justice during tho last four years. All that is to be feared naw, it is plain, is too great crcdulty, too great dis position to rely upon professions and fine words, where written contracts or formal enactments can furnish the only security. As to tho Democrats themselves, wo do not flatter ourselves, and we do not ad. vise the public to do so, that we have got rid of them. Where change has COILC as it has here, what might bo almost call ed the animating principle of our politi cal system, we arc not likely to have, as in older countries, anything which can be fairly Called a " vJonscrvatve" party, and tho Democracy cannot bo converted into such a party. The two great divi sions of our political world will consist hereafter, not exactly of the knaves and of the honest men, but of thou: who think the great laws of morality are good polit ical guides, and those who think they are for political purposes of little or no consequence. To this latter party, under whatever name it may be called, or for whatever purpose it may bo organized, the debris of the Democratic party is sure to belong. We may rely upon it that wherever wo can see a body of men rallying around an abuse with a fair chance of defending it successfully, Mr. George T- Curtis and Mr. Horatio Sey mour and their associates will be found in the midst of them, with their hauds under their coat-tails, showing that to touch it would break up the fraiuewo/k of society. That the Democratic party was not simply the pro-slavery party, but the party of rascality and corruption has, in fact, been thoroughly proved by tho strenuous opposition it has always offered in this city to the work of muni cipal reform *—Jfation.

After his execution, his body was deliv ered to Father Boyle, his spiritual advii er, for interment. —Thus has the creature of murderous treason atoned for the monstrous atroci ties which doomed twenty thousand Un iou prisoners to loathsome disease, linger ing starvation and death ; but where are his principles ?

The .British Government has on its* hands a big elephant, the disposal of which lifts not yet been decided on. The Shenandoah came all unexpectedly into the Merpey, like a terrible apparition —■ Its advent boa produced sensation in England. One of our monitors pawing up tho stream, paying shotted salutes to both banks, would hardly produce more- The gentle commander, it appears, n» scon ns he heard, in the distant scene of bis piracies, stowed his guns away and started for home, paid off his crew in reg ular business style, and gave up the bu siness. His mission waH accomplished, his work was done, and he returned to England to give an accoupt of his stew ardship to those who sent hiin forth. Tho London Times very sensibly re marks on the appearance of this vessel", "the reappearance of the Shenandoah in British waters at the present juncture i* an untoward and unwelcome event."— And again, i'it is gteatly to bo regretted that the ship overcame Lack to England." We thiuk that this unforeseen event, al though extremely embarrassing in Eng. land, will help to a just and speedy ar rangement of the difficulties between that country and the United Slates, which have grown out of the atrocious piracies on our commerce. Had this "untoward and unwelcome" arrival occurred soma weeks earlier, it i# probable that the tone of Karl llusgejl's reply to Mr. Seward would have been somewhat modified by it. But it is not to late yet for the great and enl'ghtened nations to come to an un. (ierstarding consistent with justice and favorable to their long standing friendly relations.
