FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
JACOB HOFFMAN,
OF BERKS COUNTY
SUPREME COURT,
JOS. BUFFINGTON,
OF ARMSTRONG,
By reference to our advertising col
umns it will•be seen that in addition to
three flourishing Female Seminaries, and
an Academy which in point of patronage,
reputation, and influence, rivals many res
pectable Colleges—the spirit of improve
ment is still active in providing increased
educational facilities. Thus, at Birming
ham, we find the nucleus of a new institu
tion, the “Mountain Academy," which un
der the able direction of its indefatigable
Principal, Thomas Ward, A. M., promises,
at no distant day, to become an important
auxiliary in the great work of human im
provement.
It will also be noticed with pleasure,
more especially by Teachers, that the ac
copiplished head of Cassville Seminary, is
about to establish a "Teachers' Institute,"
in connection with that Institution.. With
out intending to undervalue the importance
of other institutions—for we regard them
all, from the unpretending Common School
to the richly endowed University, as mem
bers of one great family—we must express
our firm belief that well conducted Schools
for the proper instruction and thorough
training of Teachers are of incalculable
importance to the full development and
success of our system of general education.
It is on the efficiency of our common
schools that the success of all others of a
more advanced grade mainly depends.—
They are the roots of the educational tree;
and if raised to, and kept in a healthy con
dition, will impart vitality to the overshad
owing branches. Make the primary schools
of the State what they should be, and Sem
inaries, Academies, and Colleges will grow
and flourish just as certainly as do the
members of a sound body. But it is ab
surd to suppose that our primary schools
will ever answer any great and valuable
purpose like this, until means are provided
to prepare the great body of Teachers for
their responsible work. Schools for the ,
education of Teachers are, under any cir- 1
cumstances, as indispensable as schools of
Medicine or Theology; and in the present
state of things, they are much more need
ed. We are proud, therefore, that our
county is among the first in the State to
propose such an Institute, and we most
heartily desire its success. Mr. • Pierce,
we have no doubt, is well qualified for his
noble undertaking. Having spent several
years in seine of the best schools of New
York and New England, and studied
thoroughly and practised successfully the
best systems of instruction in the Schools,
Institutes, and Associations of those States,
ho can hardly fail in conferring important
benefits on those who may avail themselves
of his instruction, and on the communities
in which they may subsequently labor.
a We have received several articles
for the out side of this week's Journal,
which in consequence of our early issue,
came t•3o late for insertion or to answer
the purpose of the writers. We have also
been compelled to h delay one week, some of
the favors acknowledged in our last.

The Anniversary celebration on the old
oatble ground, at Lundy's Lane, was a
twat grand and imposing affair. Some
sixty to eighty thousand persons were
present; and many eminent men from the
different States, participated in the pro
ceedings, and by their arguments and elo
quence inspired every hearer with unbound
ed confidence of success. The Whig fires
are now fairly lighted and All continue to
burn with increased brilliancy till they ter
minate in a glorious victory in November.
[Cr The officers of the steamboat, Hen
ry Clay, have been indicted for felony, in
wontonly and recklessly destroying the
lives of 70 or 80 persons, in the late race
on the Hudson. Some of them have been
arrested and held to bail in the sum of ten
thousand dollars each, to answer a charge
of manslaughter. We observe a move
made in Congress to enact a law making
all steamboat racing felony punishable by
solitary confinement in the penitentiary.
We hope the proposed bill will be so amen
ded as to include in its penalty, all passen
gers who encourage the murderous practice
of racing; and then pass without delay, and
be rigorously inflicted on everg transgres
sor.
We take great pleasure in announc
ing that Mr. Warden, the accomplished
gentleman, whose playing and singing in
the Town Hall, so delighted our citizens
on Monday evening, will, at the urgent re
quest of many admirers of his performance,
repeat his Concert on Wednesday evening.

From the Washington Republic,
Humanity of General Scott.
The citizens of Washington, his pre
sent abode, need not be told of General
Scott's benevolence and humanity, nor of
the purity of his character, and of the eio
cellence of his example as a model Chris
tian gentleman. Such certificates are not
needed to bolster up General Scott's re
putation. It is. well established, both at
home and abroad. He has been a shining
light in our land for near half a century;
and the light has burnt brighter 'and
brighter as time rolled on. However, as
the anecdote has been told of General
Scott's humanity, in his putting himself to
risk, as well as inconvenience, in taking a
small vessel in which to return home from
Vera Cruz, after his glorious achievements
and services in Mexico, rather than incom
mode his fellow soldiers in the ranks, for
whose accommodation he left the fine ship
provided for him, another anecdote of
somewhat the same character is here fur
nished of the same gallant man, before he
had won his laurels in the field, when en
joying no higher rank than captain of ar
tillery. While at sea, on a voyage north
from New Orleans, Captain Scott was on
deck during the night, the Wind blowing
fresh, and thought he heard the cry of
distress. He at once called attention to
it; but no ono heard it but himself. He
required silence, and it was heard a second
time; but the mate in command of the ship
at the time said it came front aboard.—
Scott persisted that it came from the sea,
and required all to listen. It was beard a
third time; and now it distinctly came from,
the sea, as admitted by all. The ship was
at once put about, and in a short time a
boat was picked up full of men, among
whom was a colored boy, the son of the
doorkeeper of the Capitol at Richmond.—
They had escaped in the boat from a ves
sel loaded with coal, from Richmond, that
had foundered at sea. Thus the present
General Scott, under Providence, was the
means of saving the lives of a boat's crew
of fellow -creatures, "although he had
never seen" them "before."
Is not your correspondent as candid as
the illustrious man of New Hampshire,
who is as “true as steel?"

JACKSON, Monday, July 19, 1852,
C • We have an invincible lead
er. Winfield Scott! Whose heart dues
not throb at the sound of that name! A.
statesman, not a politician—as the dis
charge of every delicate trust with which
he has been charged demonstrates—a mau
without fear and without reproach—a
soldier whose
"Fame folds in
This orb o'the Earth"—
his name is the harbinger of victory, and
he has never known defeat.
A Whig, true, known, and trustworthy;
thoroughly sound on the slavery issues; be
knows "no North, no South, no East, no
West, nothing but his country." Born in
the South, the North by virtue of his ac
cidental residence claims with us an equal
pride in his greatness and an equal share
in his glory. And in November next, the
North and the South, the East and the
West, will accord to bins the chief honor
of the nation, giving the lie to the libel
that Republics areungrateful, and proving
to the world that in this great country
great men are properly appreciated and
properly rewarded for great public ser
vices.
Mr. Graham, our candidate for the Vice
Presidency, stands approved by the gen
eral concession of all parties and sections.
Eminent as a Whig, distinguished for his
talents, devoted to the country and his
party—Tennessee, the daughter of North
Carolina, claims him as a kindeman, and
will evidence to him, and to the mother
State, that she is not wanting in fraternal
or filial affections, or unworthy her illus
trious lineage.
Gentlemen, we have an old-fashioned
victory before us in Tennessee—a victory
not more to be won than wished for. Yet
let every Whig put on his armor, and go
manfully into the fight, so that when the
battle is won, he may say with every
brother Whig:
'Victory sits on our helms.'

The following letter indicates Gen,
Scott's opinions in favor of our preseni
beneficent system of naturalization.
WASAINGTON, May 29, 1848.
DEAR Stat—ln reply to your kind let
ter of the Bth instant, I take pleasure in
saying that, grateful for the too partial
estimate you place on my public services,
you do me no more than justice in assum
ing that I entertain "kind and liberal
views towards our naturalized citizens."
Certainly it would be impossible for me to
recommend or support any measure inten
ded to exclude them from a just and full
participation in all civil and political rights
now secured to them by our republican
laws and institutions.
It is true that, in a season of unusual
excitement some years ago, when both par
ties complained of fraudulent practices in
the naturalization of foreigners, and when
there seemed to be danger that native and
adopted citizens would be permanently ar
rayed against each other in hostile fac
tions, I was inclined to concur in the opin
ion, then avowed by many leading states
men, that some modification of the natur
alization laws might be necessary in order
to prevent abuses, allay strife, and restore
harmony between the different classes of
our people. But later experience and re
flection have entirely removed this impres
sion, and dissipated my apprehensions.
In icy recent campaign in Mexico, a
very large proportion of the men under
my command were your countrymen,
(Irish,) Germans, &c., &c. I witnessed
with admiration their zeal, fidelity, and
valor in maintaining our flag in the face of
danger. Viein4 with each other and our
nativc-born soldiers in the same ranks in
. patriotism, constancy, and heroic daring,
• I was happy to call them brothers in the
; field, as I shall always be to salute them
P as countrymen at home.
. I remain, dear sir, with great esteem,
yours, truly,
- - - WINFIELD SCOTT,

[G'"Gen. Pierce possesses all the ele
ments of popularity, and his selection is a
compliment to New Hampshire, of which
that small but uniformly Dernocrotio State
is well worthy.—Boston Post.
New Hampshire is the very last State in
the Union which should be honored by a
special compliment from any party. We
have nothing to say against either the in
telligence or morality of her people; but
we deny her Democracy. No community
with a particle of pure Democracy in its
composition, or entitled to the political re
spect of others, would tolerate the odious,
proscriptive and intolerant religious test
which holds its place in the Constitution of
New Hampshire. Was it this feature in
the fundamental law of "this small but
uniformly Democratic State," which ren
dered her especially deserving the compli
mentary notice of the Democratic National
Convention? If so, it is an insult to the
People of the Union, and to every true
Democrat throughout the world. Out of
New Hampshire, this religious test is as
odious as all who sanction it should be.

"Gun for Gun—and More. 99
Since the days when the "Boy officer,"
Winfield Scott upon the field of battle won
glories under which were hid the disgrace
of Hull's surrender and other disastrous
defeats, and when he won from Madison
by his valor, in spite of his youth, grade
after grade until the highest was reached,
Democratic Administrations have looked
to him for relief in thee of tribulation.—
Jackson, the Father of modern Democra
cy, sent him to Carolina to crush the hy
dra of Disunion, and he succeeded in his
mission.
In 1837-8, the Canadian outbreak oc
curred. Along the entire frontier, the
people of the States inflamed by the fires
of patriotism which burned so brightly in
'76, organized for a cordial support of the
people in revolt. The spirit was good,
but it was misdirected; till it gained a
power which the Democratic administration
could not control.
Alarmed at these demonstrations, the
British Minister had addressed a note to
Mr. Van Buren which told him that if the
United States could not preserve their
treaty faith, the British Government could
do it for them.
Trembling at the significant note which
boded war, Mr, Van Buren turned as to a
compass, to Scott; who, always ready to
serve his country, NM soon upon the fron
tier.
He arrived at Cleveland, the head quar
ters of the “Patriot" movement. Here
ho found nine out of ten men "Patriots."
Lodges had been organized, measures ta
ken for the invasion of Canada, men mus
tered and cannon balls cast. He had the
Military force of the Union at his control,
but if he called it into service, hundreds of
his own gallant, patriotic, well meaning
countrymen must be sacrificed; and here us
wherever the alternate of peace or war was
presented, he sought to be the Great Paci
ficator. A meeting of the Patriots was
called at the American. The Hall was
crowded—all were opposed to him, and
jealous and even fierce looks were cast up
on him as he entered the hall, his tall,
manly and commanding form towering above
the assemblage.
Well do we remember that night wh)ith
a mere boy, we stood among that assembly,
while the "Great Pacificator" poured, oil
upon the troubled waters which surged
around him.
lie told them that in a just war with
Great Britain it would be his pride, his
pleasure, and his glory to lead the Armies
of the Union into Canada. That in times
past, to sustain American honor and iu de-
ience of American rights, he had fought
and bled upon that soil. But now treaties
of amity and neutrality were interposed,
which could not be trampled upon without
breach of National faith. Should these'
be violated, no Nation would dare to treat
with us, and we should be dishonored !
among the Powers of the Earth. He was
entrusted with the powers of the Union to
prevent this disgrace, and if necessary, he
should use it; but ho trusted that a regard
for justice and honor, was too deeply im
planted in the American heart to require
the exercise of that power.
But while ho would prevent the viola
tion of treaty faith by well meaning but
rash citizens, he would as promptly oppose
British assumption. Fellow citizens, said
he, as I came up the Niagara River on my
way hither, I found the American steamer
Barcelona on the American side ready to
start. On the Canada side a battery was
planted, and a determination to fire into
the steamer was manifested. I wrote the
Commander of that Battery a note, in
which I told him that 4 , my guns were
planted, matches were lighted, and, if he
presumed to lire a gun at an American
steamer, in American waters, under an
American flag, I should return him GUN
FOIL GUN—AND MORE!"
The Barcelona proceeded on her trip
unmolested. Winfield Scott by fit words,
fitly spoken, quelled a border warfare,
proving himself a Great Pacificator, and
it is fitting that when in consequence of
his eminent services, he is tendered the
compliment of the Presidency and hireling
partizans assail him, that the people should
rally round the man, who, great alike in
Peace or War, sustained their rights and
honor, and return the guerillas “GuN FOR
GUN—AND MORE!"—Cleavdand Herald.
LocofoC(inWscality.
The Richmond Whig says that a dis
graceful fraud was recently attempted up
on Senator Truman Smith, of Connecticut,
by a Locofoco, at Weldon, N. C., who
wrote to Mr. Smith to send him some doe
uinents with his frank, such as would be
likely to suit the peculiar views of the So
ciety of Friends respecting slavery and war,
and would induce them to vote for General
Scott, to be used among the members of
the Society located in North Carolina. Mr.
Smith, than whom there is not a more
shrewd Yankee in all Yankeedom, was
however wide awake, and not to be thus
caught napping. On the receipt of the
letter he applied to Mr. Stanley, of that
State, stating that he did not believe it
came from a Whig. The letter was sent
to Weldon by Mr. Stanly, and there the
trick was discovered and exposed. The
man was an unprincipled Locofooo, seeking
to obtain, by this discreditable expedient,
documents that might be used among the
alaveholders of the State against General
Scott. Another object was to use the
frank of Mr. Smith to send Locofooo doc
uments to' various places. The Whig, in
noticing the affair, says that, as soon as the
facts became known, they excited intense
public indignation at Weldon, and through
out Northampton county, N. C., and that
it will cause serious lose to the Democracy
of that region.
Part of the Machinery.
We find the following going the rounds
of the Loeofoco papers. It will, no doubt,
be promptly responded to, and, in less than
a month, the Central Committee at Wash
ington will have the names of ten thous
and active Looofoco's from Ohio :
To the members of the several Democratic
State and County Committees.
The Democratic Resident Committee ap
pointed by the National Democratic Exec
utive Committee, under the authority of
the last Democratic National Convention,
have now In course of publication a number
of valuable documents for the coming cam
' paign. In order to complete their list of
names already large, but not as full as
should be desired ; the Resident Committee
respectfully ask the chairmen of the differ
ent Democratic State and County Commit
tees. and all active Democrats throughout
the Union, to forward at their earliest con
venience such lists of names in their res
pective localities or districts, with post
offices attached, as may serve to promote
the good of the cause.
WM. M. GWIN,
Chairman of the Resident Committee.
A. P. EDGERTON, Secretary.
P. S.—Democratic papers in all parts
of the country are requested to publish.
This GwlN is a Locofoco Senator from
California, and A. P. EDGERTON is a Lo
cofoco member of the House from Ohio.
Now this is a movement that must be
met. The Whigs have a Central National
Committee, and we specially desire all
Whig County Committees, at the earliest
practical moment, to make out a list of
twenty or thirty of the most active Whigs
in each township of their county, with the
names of their post offices, and forward
this list to KITE lIENRY WARREN, at
Washington City. Will all our Whig pa
pers copy this and urge the request. It
is important to have it done promptly.

117 - An Englishman abroad, writes in
the July number of Blackwood, some spec
ulations upon the political and general pros
pects of the United States. He mentions
the Tariff as one of the questions that will
enter more or less into every political com
bination; and says that "the maufactures
of America cannot exist under competition
*ith England, without a higher tariff !"
He adds that the South and West are be
coming much more friendly to the prinei
' pies of protection than they have been hith
erto. He considers slavery the great dis
turbing element in the politics of the Uni
ted States; and predicts all sorts of evils
from it in the future. He closes with a ra
tional prediction, that "whoever may be the
President, the United States will hold im
the even tenor of their way, increasing ev
ery day and every hour in material prosper
ity—augmenting in population and resour
ces,"—and in the end, "before magnitude
causes disjunction, or corruption produces
decay, will become, what they believe
themselves to be now ) one of the greatest
