tr.? On our first page will be found the
eloquent Address of H. IL SwoopE, Esq.,
delivered on the occasion of Mr. Barr's ex
hibition, Though our reading and obser
vation, during twenty years' active service
in the cause of education, have failed to
convince us of the soundness of all the
positions insisted on in the address, and by
theoretical educationists generally, we can,
nevertheless, most cordially commend it as
a whole, and most cheerfully give it a
place in our columns. Our objections re
late merely to some of the causes which are
said to retard the progress of our Common
School System, and, even in our own judg
ment, but slightly mar the truth and ex
cellence of Mr. Swoope'e speech. For,
apart from those objections, it contains a
fund of interesting information which has
been carefully collected from reliable and
popular sources, and which must be pe
rused with profit, as well as pleasure, by
all at least, who are not already familiar
with the subject of which it treats.
BUSINESS NOTICE.
'laving made arrangements which enable ns,
without much loss or material inconvenience, to
extend the time of payment, to our delinquent sub
scribert somewhat longer, we this week resume
the sending of "bills" to such as are more than two
years in arrears for subscription to the "Journal."
We make out the accounts as we find them on the
books of James Clark, the former proprietor.—
Should any be entitled to credits which do not
appear on these books, we will, of course, make
site proper correction, so far es evidence of the
iitct shell be furnished us. Our friends will ob
serve that• though the 'ides of November' have
passed ; wo-still charge them but two dollars a year.
We are-entirely satisfied with these rates fur the
present, and we will not demand the additional
half dollar from any one that shall, in a reasona
ble timer satisfactorily answer this, our earnest
call atttl- reasonable expectation. Nay, we feel
authorized to deal even more generously than
this, with those who ; through inadvertence, or
forgetfulums, have allowed their subscriptions to
accumulate fur several years, end who can now
plead inability to pay at otter, and promptly, their
respective liabilities. From such we are willing
toaccept a part now, and the remainder any time
between this and spring, and in such sums as may
suit their circumstances and convenience. Other
inducomeati.we have not in our power to offer.—
Nor will it be necessary, we trust, to urge further
the plain demands st justice turd honorable deal
ing. With this feeling of confidence in the integ
rity and generosity of our hitherto forgetful friends,
we submit the matter to their candor.
The Fun Began,
Those of oar readers, who remember the wail
ings of our political opponents, four years ego,
over the terrible proscription of Gen. Taylor's
administration, when a few, comparatively speak
ing, of the old party hacks were removed, to make
room for better men, would, have supposed that
that party, if it even obtained hiceess again, would
hardly have removed a single Office holder. Time
and success has produced a change.
Four years; and another election, have passed.
Anti now, before the official returns sire all re
estivcd--as soon es the truth of their triumA is
known, they have began their division of the
spoils. In every city and hamlet—in almost ev
ery town,. where,there is a little post office, worth
ss few dollars a- year, you-.e. hear of one, two,
three, four, or half a (biz., of• these patriots, one.
for the post, and each basing his , claim upon 116
services to the party.
We are not astonished at this. It is what they •
live ;for. Iftet •we will take oleasion to say to
them now, you sassy expect our help.• We will
give you, and each of y.; all the aid and corn ,
fort its our power.. If yen- call each other had
names, and we hear of It,-of course we shall agree
with you, for as you know each other better than
we do, we have a good reason-for. not doubting
what you say.
There is nothing here for you, this year, but
the Post Office. 'lle Canal "IC'ehays" have on
ly had one year, and ell you disappointed ones
abused poor "Kitty" Clover so badly that you
need hope for nothing on the Canal for three
years; and we will just kindly hint, that you had
better forgot souse of your abuse of Closer, or it
r i , lodgment against you in thin issue.
Our Defeat.-Why was it?
Last week we gave one of the causes of the
late defeat of the Whig party; a cause outside of
our own party. We shall continue the same sub
ject; and show some of the many others.
We have shown how our opponents organize
and act, and for what purpose they unite their
strength. They must and will enjoy the spoils, is
the first article in their political creed. With this
e•nd in view,—all their preliminary steps having
been taken; they sat themselves to work to see,
where, when, and how to strike.
They were first attracted by the attachments of
the South to their peculiar institution—Slavery.
With an industrious zeal, for years, they have en
deavored to fasten upon the Whig party, connec
tion with Abolitionism; and notwithstanding, in
their own ranks they found the father of the Wil
mot Proviso—and though they loved him as a
brother—they knew, and their partisans in the
South knew, that his education, and habits had
given him such an appetite for the spoils, that
when he was needed, body and soul, or, body or
soul,—both or either, it would only be necessary
to show him the proper "consideration," and he
was a party chattel once more. All this being
understood, he was permitted to act as a decoy
duck, and Ening in the easily seduced. This two
faced scheming, answered a double purpose, it
won some strength from the Whigs, and increas
ed their own. Slavery in the South—Dough-tacos
in the North; and the,diversion of Free Soil were
found all toiling for the same end, the defeat of
Scott.
The next great interest to secure, was the for
eign vote—the vote of naturalized citizens. Here
was a wide and fertile field for their tillage, some
what dangerous withal, yet with their appliances,
and their object, not hard to win. True, they had
here to secure the services of the originator of
Native Americanism. Only one year had passed
since they had struck from their nominated tick
et, the pet and patron of the "rich brogue" party,
Judge Campbell. but they know that extremes
would and could meet, and why not these also?
Both Judge Campbell and Judge Woodward were
educated in their schools; and the spoils, the only
prize. Of course, they were secured; and the
leader in Native American theory, and the ultra
papist, forgot their hate, in the hunt for office and
its pay. Nor did their cunning trick, to unite
these two extremes, stop here—they secured an•
other ally, whose sympathies had been aroused.
General Scott, while in Mexico, had require of
his army a reasonable respect for the religious
feelings of the Mexicans, and this, with the fact
that one of his daughters, (since dead, we believe)
had been educated at a Nunnery, was sufficient
for thorn to assert, and if necessary, to swear,
Scott was a Catholic; and in an instant the hot
blood of many a higgotted protestant, wheeled in
to the ranks of his opponents,—and while the Na
tives went to the polls whistling "the battle of the
Boyne",—the foreign Catholics, as a body, joined
hands with them, and hummed, quietly, "death
to the llugenot—faggot and flame." The latter
knew that all that was to he fought for was the
spoils, and they did not care who helped win the
victory.
There was still another small interest not secu
red, and that was also composed of two antago
nistic elements. One portion thought the Union
saved, and the other thought the Union severed,
by the passage of the fugitive slave law,—and
neither of whom, liked. General Scott. It was
important that they should be some how secured,
to have all the opponents of the Whig party mel
ted, in an earnest and harmonious effort, for its
defeat. They succeeded; and like the tatter-de
mullions of Roger Dutton in the fight of the fid
dlers, each sung :
"Roger Dutton's going to fight
In his dublet and his hose, -
Who is wrong and who is right,
No one cares and no oue knows."
Sure of the victory; because sure of the spoils,—
who cannot see why Scott was defeated 'I
Slaves Is. Slavery.
A few days since, a Mr. 'Ammon, of Virginia,
came to New York on his way to Texas, having,
in his possession eight slaves. A writ of Habeas
Corpus was issued, and the Flow brought before
Judge Payne. After argument, the Judge order
ed the release of the Slaves, as there was no law
in that State authorising Slavery for a single day,
and as the Compromises of the Constitution only
required the rendition of fugitives from labor,
these colored persona could not he restrained of
their liberty in that State, for they were not fu
gigives.
This, it seems- to us, is demonstrating to the
South, that Slavery is a-local institution, with a
vengeance. They have taught us that word, and
of course Judge Payne Could not well decide oth
erwise. We fear that the Union will he again en
dangered, but still there is one satisfaction, it is
easily oared.
It is said that the liberal and benevolent have
raised the owner the sum of $5OOO, to make good
his loan. The same spirit would have saved the
expense of trial, if it had been directed to make
good the loss of the negroes—they had lost their
freedom.
Little Minds.
Since the defeat of General Scott, a portion of
the Loco Foco press, have made themselves mer
ry, by keeping up a kind of running tire at the old
hero. One sneers at old fuss and feedlots; anoth
er insults him for want of popularity; another asks
"what column ho leads ?" end•se on, through
long catalogne of petmy-whistle wit.
Wo do not allude to the matter because we care
for it, or because we suppose General Scott will
ever hear of their meanness, or if he did,: that he
would feel that it was intended to have a point.—
We have only jotted down the fact, so that our
readers may know that the little• minds of that
par'y, are keeping before the people, their sense
less attacks upon the man, whose life has been a
long one, of toil, danger, and privation to himself
—of lasting glory and renown. to his' country.
Many yearago, we remember to have read a
fable of the au and lion. While the lion was
alive, the ass kept at a respectful distance; the I
lion died, and then the ass showed,how brave he
was, by kicking his car..”.
Speaker of the Senate.
We see, by a communication in the Blair Coon
ty Whig, that our Senator, li. A. M'Murtrio, is
named fur the Speakership of the Senate. Our
Senator has many warm friends—has all the qual
ifications—is from the right District; and we cer
tainly shall rejoice to see the suggestion of the
correspondent of the Whig carried into effect.
The worthy Senator from Chester county, Hen
ry S. Evans, has also been named by the Bedford
Inquirer. If experience, a ready, active, and en
ergetic mind will make a good Speaker, then onr
political, personal, and typographical friend will do.
We have so much good material in the Senate,
our party cannot err in its choice. We have no
Senators there who would not do honor to the
party or place.

As the Pork curing season is at hand,
we select from the Germantown Telegraph
and other sources, and give below, several
highly approved Receipts, for the benefit
of such of our readers as cure, at home the
meat for family use. If our friends will
try these Receipts, they will Snd any one
of them worth a year's subscription to the
"Journal," every season. And should
any one, after trial, be in doubt as to
which method merits the preference, he
may send us a ham, and we will pass upon
it our impartial judgment; and, besides,
procure for it a puff that shall almost make
Me gravy run, and waft its odors back to
the gratified donor.
The Telegraph Receipt.
To 1 gallon of water,
Take 11, lbs. of salt,
lE lb. of sugar,
I t oz. saltpetre.
In this ratio the pickle to be increased
to any desirable quantity. Let these be
boiled together until all the dirt from the
salt and sugar (which will not be a little,)
arises to the top, and is skimmed off. Then
throw the pickle into a large tub to cool,
and when perfectly cool, pour over the
beef and pork, to remain the usual time,
say four or five weeks, according to the
size of the pieces. The meat must be well
covered with the pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two days after slaugh
tering, during which time it should be slight
ly sprinkled with powdered saltpetre, to
free it from the blood, Bzo.
T. E.HMILTON'S RECEIPT.--TO every
100 lbs. of pork take 8 lbs. of G. A. salt,
2 oz. saltpetre, 2 lbs. brown sugar, 1} oz.
of potash, and 4 gallons of water. Mix
the above, and pour the brine over the
meat, after it has lain in the tub for some
t*o days. Let the hams remain in the
brine for six weeks, and then dry several
days before smoking. I have generally
had the meat rubbed with fine salt, when
it is packed down. The nieat should be
perfectly cool before packing.
THE NEW-YORK RECEIPT,
Make a pickle with 8 pounds of salt, 6
oz. saltpetre, 2 qts. of molasses, and 8 gal
lons of water, to 100 lbs. Boil and skim
the pickle thus prepared. Then pack your
ham in barrels, and when the pickle is cold,
pour it on to the meat, and in four weeks
you have excellent ham, very tender and
sweet.
THE NEWBOLD RECEIPT.—The follow
ing is the famous Newbold receipt :
Seven lbs. coarse salt, 5 lbs. brown su
gar, 2 oz. pearlash, 4 gallons of water.—
Boil all together, and scum the pickle well.
When cold, put it on the meat. Hams to
remain in 8 weeks—beef 3 weeks. The
above is for 100 lbs. weight.
From the Hartford Courant,
Voyage up Salt River
As we have voyaged the whole length
of Salt River, up to the "head of sloop
navigation," we are quite desirous that our
readers should know what kind of a time
we had, and how we aro satisfied with the
new "location."
We started in the grand old steamer
Connecticut, Capt. Steady-Habits comand
er, with the rest of the large Whig fleet,
on the evening of the tad of. November, on
our cruise up the stream. Ab we entered
the bay into which that famous river dis
charges its waters, there was an universal
expression of grief throughout the whole
fleet. The first ebullition being over, we
had then an opportunity, 'quiet though
sad,' to mark the rapid progress of our
voyage, and the interesting objects before
us. As we passed up the bay, there loom
ed up before us the low sandy point of Cape
Harbor Improvement; we gave its obstruc
tions a wide berth and sighed as we silent
ly bade it adieu for years. The wrecks of
steamers were strewed all along its yellow
sands. Cape Protection then showed us
its headland. The long break-water, erec
ted in 1842 against the dashing waves of
the broad ocean, which rolled its billows
from far England upon it, had been taken
down and washed away; and foolishly, on
the landward side of the point, another
barrier had been built in 1846 which only
checked the current of the inland river.—
As we passed it, it was enveloped in fog,
which had settled in gloomy wreaths on the
sides of Moant american-System that rose
behind it. "Farewell," we said, "old
landmark ! Thou wilt guide our fleet to
victory no more ! Thy whole stupendous
mass is to be carried off and deposited is
the deep oeean•of Free Trade ! Ile who
once stood proudly on thy top to cheer us
on in the contest, sleeps the last long sleep
of death, and his System has perished with
him. It is marked on the tombstone, as
the fruitless labor of. one who would have
established his country's prosperity, had
ttetion permitted.
Soon after we approached the hidden
rocks of Slavery Extension. Hero a
groat debate sprung up in the different ves
sels of the fleet as to which side of the rooks
we should pass. The contest grew exciting,
when old Capt. Consideration settled the
difficulty by remarking that it made no
difference when we were going np the river.
The old rocky shore of Point National
Rank next presented itself. But the reg
ular action of the current and tide had so
fretted off the projecting rocks, that it was
no longer dangerous. Here we passed the
large democratic fleet, coming down the
bay, with streamers and pennons and flags
flying, with bands of music playing, and
the passengers shouting in the highest glee.
What was rather strange, in all cases the
British flag was flying above the Ameri
can, and the shouts of "hurra for Eng
land's interests" rent the air, while the
bands played "God save the King." The
New-Hampshire, an old-fashioned, slow
sailing craft, led the van, looking as if her
model was a century old. She was the
flag ship, and bore aloft on her mizzen a
flag with the inscription "Virginia Reso
lutions of '98." Franklin Pierce stood
at her prow, smiling as the morning sun,
his eye fixed steadily on the distant view
of the White House. The rest of the fleet
seemed vexed at the little progress which
was made under the 40 98" flag. The
squadron of the West, under the command
of the Rear Admiral Douglas, were evi
dently determined to sail faster, as soon as
the Bay widened. Douglass had showed
his cunning by so constructing his ensign
that the side which turned toward the flag
ship presented the motto of "the Virginia
Resolutions," while the on other was faintly
written—" River and Harbor Improve
ments." He declared to his men that as
soon as there was room enough to pass the
Commodore, he should lead off himself,
haul down the Virginia flag, and up with
the black flag of piracy, with its skull and
cross bones.
We passed very rapidly up the river for
the tide was setting strong in that direc
tion. General Scott examined with much
curiosity both banks of the river as we sail
ed on. It was the very first time that he
was on the stream, and every thing was
new to him. am not disheartened,' said
the old veteran, "I have troops of friends
around me, who have fallen with me. My
life has been devoted to the Republic, and
I bow to its dicision now. This vote cannot
blot out the record of my services from
my country's history. Posterity will do
me justice. "
As we neared the extremity of the
stream, we passed many beautiful country
residences. At one of the finest, in his
large cabbage garden, stood Martin Van
Buren. He had not recovered from his
grief at seeing the Democratic fleet sail by
without taking him on board.
"The buckwheat cake was in his mouth,
The tear was in his eye."
We inquired for the Prince, and found
that he had followed the fleet in a small
skiff, and there were many fears entertain
ed for his safety.
A little further up was Mr. Buchanan.
Poor man !he looked haggard. The Dem
made garment with which be covered up
his principles so long, was grcwing thin,
and the Federal lining showed through in
many places.
On the next turn of the river we found
Cass, wringing his hands in agony at the
desertion of his friends. With his coat
and hat off, ho was exclaiming amid "the
noise and confusion" of the surf around
him, in the words of the Captive Knight:
"They are gone ! they have all passed by !
They in whose wars I had borne a part,
They that I loved with a brother's heart,
They have left me here to die!
Sound again, clarion ! Clarion pour thy
blast !
Sound! for the Presidential dream of hope
is past."
Soon after we came to a pause where
the whole Free-Soil party were disembark
ing. John P. Hale, in a very good natur
ed frame of mind, was making preparations
for a permanent residence, as he had no idea
that four years would carry him down the
stream again. Many of them were seated
on the rocks, with long black poles. str
ing up the mud in the stream, while cer
tain inky looking fellows were calling upon
them to "agitate, agitate !" Most of the
Massachusetts members were sitting in their
boats, expecting that the Democrats would
charter the old steamboat Coalition, and
come up after them next week.
We found our new residence a conveni
ent one, and we are, upon the whole, "as
well as could be expected." The air issa
lubrious and invigorating, if we may judge
by the hnngry looks of the Democrats, as
they passed US. The soil is fruitful, and
produces a fine crop of regrets and unavai
ling resolutions, but we are determined
not to cultivate despair.
Soon after our arrival, a large public
meeting was called, which assembled near
Cape Turnagain. Hon. Stay-at-home
Grumbler was appointed Chairman, and
Job Doo-Little, Esq., Secretary. Hon.
Mr. Facing-both-ways made some lachry
mose remarks, which were promptly hissed
down; when Mr. Stick-to-the-right Groat
heart offered the following resolutions,
which were unanimously passed :
Resolved, 1. That after mature deliber
ation we come to the conclusion that we
ore rowsd up Salt River.
ResoFvd,- 2. That we are not alarmed !
I Resohici t 3. That every rooster olthe
settlement that•crows once shall be imme
diately decapitiated.
Resolved, 4. That in the investigation
of the causes of our defeat, we do not think
it is owing to Winfield Scott's splendid tier
-1 vices, or to Franklin Pierce's littleness,
but to tho fact that he had not votes
enough, . _
Resolved, 5. That we stay here until
we go down stream again.
Resolved, 6. That in the words of the
poet, we say, will never do to give it
up so, .Mr. Brawn."

No. 2. Dr. J. W. Cooper's Medicines, (pre
pared only by C. P. Hewes') am doing wonders

1B" The Stomach prepares the elements of the
bile and the blood; and if it does the work feebly
and imperfectly, liver disease is the certain re
sult. As soon, therefore, as any affection of the
liver is perceived, we may be sure that the diges
tive orgons are out of order. The first thing to
be done, is to administer a specific which will act
directly upon the stomach—the mainspring of the
animal machinery. Fur this purpose we ern re
commend HOOFLAND'S German Bitters, prepar
ed by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. Acting
as an alterative and a tonic, it strengthens the
digestion, changes the condition of the blood and
thereby gives regularity to the bowels.
