Munn.aTon— The following ADDRESS was delivered before an audience of from two to three hundred persons, at the closing of the Free School in Pctersburgh, (York Springe,) Academy, on the 7th of April, 1837, by SAMUEL KETTLEWELL, a child of nine. years of age, written for the occasion by his father. Its publication was requested by the Direc tors then .present. ADDRESS. 131 SAMUEL KETTLEWELL. LADIIS AND GENTLE:drag—Upon occasions of this kind, it is customary to select pieces spoken or written by men of the mightiest intellect and breathed in the loftiest language of learning, elo quence and poetry With your permission, I shall, at this timer depart from this custom. My theme shell be one dear to our country, yet so simple -hat even a child like myself may touch its chords. A wise man has said, send Cie, Schoolmaster abroad in our land, and he will do more to perpet. uate our blood-bonght freedom than armed men, or the multiplied Victories of a Ciasar. Every nation is ambitious of glory and renown. In ancient times, this thirst for National eminence 'Oe.cOpied the undivided attention of the Roman, as well Grecian Rulers. They were a people exalted'in th,,. History of antiquity. They both, 'So a great extent, 'waded through seas of blood to accuse this inestimable distinction. The destruc tion of their fellow creatures, was their road to greatness. Even their Poets and Philosophers, men whose unbounded intellect, learning and elo quence have handed down to our own times an imperishable and enduring fame, united in the general slaughter. More rational era enlightened reflection has pointed to a loftier and holier standard of National Glory.' It is based alike upon the attributes of our Creator,arar the happiness of his creatures. Build School Houses, and fill them with competent Teachers, from the Oozes of the Atlantic to the. depths of the interminable wilderness of the fast growing West, and Grecian valour and Roman glory will sink low in the comparison. Ourcountry has all the elements to stand alone in unrivalled grandeur, in the rapid accumulation and diffinsion of Intelligence. The 'extent of our Continent—the quick perception of our People— the simplicity andoquality of our Government, and, above. all, the incairsling popularity of our en ligh lened institution4,4reuzins to realize the fondest hopes of the Patriot, Statesman, and Philanthro pist. If means are taken to educate our children, Reason, which now breaks out in scattered rays, will conomtrate into a flood of light, illuminathig the City' and the Wilderness—the Cottage and the Taloa% alike the Poor, and the Rich. - Let the wealth . of our States be applied to the development of the moral and intellectual resour .

I have adverted to the great Generals of Ancient times. Triumphs were voted to them while living, and monuments erected to their memory when dead. We, too, have our Bene factors. They, however, came not to thAroy, but to instruct and enlighten us. They have open ed the "Sealed Book." They have dispelled the darkness of ignorance. They have adopted a "System" to raise us, and those who may follow us in the scale of our own hying. We can erect no pillars of stone—no tombs in honor of thczr worth. But, when age's shall have passed away, and 'hese gorgeous tokens of respect have crum bled into dust, unborn millions will testify their gratitude to the many whose wisdom "created light out of darkness," whilst mothers will teach their infants to lisp the name of THADDEUS STE VENS, as the Great Pioneer in tho "Key-Stone State," in the sacred cause, boldly defying Ava rice and Prejudice, in unbinding the fetters that bound us to ignorance and all its miseries! Remarks of air. alidillecofi, In Committee of the Whole in Senate, on the Bill to invest ono million of dollars of the pub lic money received of the United States, for the benefit of the Common Schools of the Common wealth. • - Mr. Chairman: The bill under consider ation has been reported by the committee on education in pursuance of a resolution'ot Senate, instructing them to inquire into the expediency of inves'ing u portion of the stir• plus revenue for common school purposes. The system of free schools, which has now become a part of the perminent policy of the State, and whichis so eminently calcu• luted to confer the best, and lasting benefits upon the rising, as well as fixture generations of the Commonwealth; and although it ap pears, from an examination of the present condition of education that many important and satisfactory results have been attained by the operation of the common school law, the perfecting of which, and to lessen the burdens which the system imposes upon the people, is well deserving of our attention at this time. I apprehend we must all he satis fied,from experience,that the common school system cannot be maintained by direct tax ation, without a liberal appropriation to that object on the part of the Commonwealth.— Some individuals, it is well known, object to thetas as unequal, onerous, and I am war ranted in adding unjust; and others justly complain of the amount. Is it not then, I ask manifestly evident,and highfv necessary that strong inducements should be held ow to encourage the people,to tax themselves, for the purpose of educating the children of the Commonwealth, when the benefits are general, and the tax unequal. These in• ducements, in my opinion, are only to be found, in a fund proportionate to the great ness of the object, whose fertilizing streams are to reach every corner and hamlet of the Stater But, Mr. Chairman, this Eaystern so beau tiful in theory, has practically, been found to lantutsh, and in a great measure to have lost the favor of some of its most ardent friends, in consequence of the inadequacy of the State appropriations. The talented superintendent of the common schools on this subject, says in his report: "It is encouraging thus to find so few boards wholly opposed to the 'system. and - Hourly a Wen 'ions for its improvement. The tusk of the Le gislature will be much facilitated, by hearing so many experienced persons concur in stating its main defect to be, the want of funds. To this ex pression of opinion on the subject, it is.unnecos sary for the Superintendent to add a single re mark. Tho amount of taxation complained of will, of ourae, diraluhh as the sum at State appropriation nereasso. . - - Tho chief defect of the system is undoubtedly the want of good teachers. This though not so. voroly felt during the first years of tho system, is now daily becoming moro obvious. It must be provided for, if the common school method of in struction is to be continued. Two moans present themselves: The fist is such an increase of the instruction I fund, as will enable directors to induce properly qualified persons to take charge of the schools. Is now a lamentable fact that the scantiness of the means at their disposal, frequently compels direc tors to give a preference to teachers not well qual. ified over others whose fitness is acknowledged; or which has the same ill effect, prevents the lat ter from applying for appointments. This arises from the situation in which directors aro placed. Their first duty is to pro - vide echool houses. This, for the first year or longer perhaps, exhausts the funds at their command. In the mean time the old system for the education of the pour gratis is suspended. The people become impatient. Due allowance is not made for the difficulties of the board. As soon, therefore, as the replenished treasury oftho district will at all authorize it, schools are opened. The first teachers who pro. sent themselves aro employed; or, if more than the number needed offer, the wish to continue the schools as long as possible in operation, induces the employment of such as are willing to take the lowest coinponsation. Hence it will be perceived that want of sufficient funds, not only prevents well qualified persons from seeking the office of common school Mullets, but really often gives the preferenctito parsons not at 011 competent." The want of funds, then, seems to be the principal defect. To remedy this defic ten cv, and to place the system upon a broad and liberal basis, upon a foundation not to be shaken hereafter, to open the door of educe. tion to the mass of our population, so as to afford like opportunities to all, for the ac quisition of property, honors, and public sta Lions—we ask you to pass this bill, together with the one on file, contemplating a direct approbation of five hundred thousand-dollars, and you at once accomplish all these desirti ble objects. History establishes the fiict, that free institutions can only be maintained, their purity and inviolability preserved, where the citizens'are enlightened, where morality,virtue and patriotism are engrafted on The youthful mind, and where it is early trained to appreciate, and fully comprehend these necessary and desirable traits of char% actor. It consequently becomes our duty to give the poor,and those of humble means, ' an opportunity of understanding the advan tages in which they so largely share. But we have been asked to postpone the further consideration of this bill, with a view of ascertaining what amount of. appropria tions will be required for the further exten sion ofour internal improveinents. I object to this, on the ground that I ate unwilling to make this bill dependant upon the improve. - meat, or any other bill; and whilst I am perfectly willing to let both the systems go hand is baud * 1 have heard no argument, t•~•.~►~rXt which has produced the conviction on my mind, that the improvements of the State by canals and railways, is of paramount consideration—and should take precedence of a bill. which contemplates the moral and intellectual improvement of the people of the Commonwealth, in all time to come The facilities of intercourse between dif ferent portions of the Slate, and opening the channels for trade arid commerce, are also important and desirable objects; and these, with the means in our Ito...session, may still he prosecuted, in addition to the large a mount already expended to accomplish these ends. Hut if the greater port i on o f the children of Pennsyl vania, who are to Wield the future destinies of this great and growing State, are to be permitted to grow up in ignorance, destitute of even an ele mentary education, the legacy of our public improvemems,will be but a poor inheritance, compared with a system of instruction, which would qualify each to act his part in telligently—where the rich and the poor grow up together, upon terms of perfect equality, without knowing o r claiming any other superiority than that which is com'er• red be merit, and nfEird the enjoyments attendant on a well cultivated mind. Sir, I shall adhore to my determination to support this bill, without regard to what may come up for c onsideration hereafter. I shauld have prefer' ed a larger investment; this However, under the circumstances, seems to be impracticable at present. I re• tcard this distribution the fliirest and most equitable, that can, or has yet been deriv• ed. Every citizen, in your Commonwealth, no matter how Im/Tible— • is an interest in the Surplus Revenue; and by means of the common schools all will be made to partici pate. In this way you reach the reimaest corner of the State; in this way you will reconcile and make friends of those who have heretofore been hostile to the system, on account of the burthens imposed upon them which were necessary to sustain it, and we may auticipme, with great certain ty, that before another year, nut of the two hundred and forty-two non-accepting dis tricts. but few, if any, will remain, without having embraced the provisions of the school law, made thus comparatively easy. Ot her States too, have adopted this course in their disposition of the public money; and I ask, will Pennsylvania pursue a different one? I trust not, our means are abundant and ample. This investment can be made without taxation, or in the slightest degree aiThcting or embarrassing the other great interests of the Stove. I have considered it my duty, thus brief ly to state some of the reasons which have occurred to me in favor of the passage" of the bill; and in, conclusion, I would caution the (rico! 's of the measure to oppose all motions f; it postponement, as dangerous, and calculated to d. amt it at this late period of the sessiln. But a day or two more and it will require n suspension of our rules, before a transmission can be made from one branch of the Legislature to the other. Laws of Pennsylvania.

Russell, of Hillsborough, aged 28 years, was unaccountably murdered at Hopkinton West Village on Friday the 7th inst. by John S. Titcomb, aged 25, formerly of Newburyport, Mass. They were at work in a cooper's shop, and it appears that they had been earnestly discussing the question whether men aro predisposed to murder each other for' money?, and were left so dis cussing at 11 o'clock A. M. At 12, Tit comb went to his boarding-house, shaved and dressed himself,• and appeared much agitated. This was remarked, when ho re turned in a hurry, set the shop on fire, and went into the street. The fire was soon dig covered,a crowd collected—Titcomb among the rest—the roof fell in, and the body of Russell was found burnt badly beneath the bench at the side of the shop, whore it had been thrown by Titcomb, and covered with the shavings and staves_ to some depth.— Both legs were broken above the knees, and both arms above the elbows—evidently showing that the murderer attempted to put the body into a barrel to conceal it. It was apparent also that Russell was killed by se vere blows inflicted on the head while seat ed on the shave-horse, without having made the least res;stance. jug of rum was found in the shop,of which 'Fitcomb had par taken freely. No other cause for the mur der is known.-IVew- Yorker.

SLAVE CABS.--A case of deep interest has recently been much agita• ted in New York. It was the case of a claim for a fugitive slave from Virginia-- The Express /jays: "It appears that this colored man has been in the city of*New York and has rebid• ed near Maliattanville, for nearly 4 years: the gentleman with whom he is employed as a gardener, represents him its a.man of excellent character, having a wife and Piny children dependent upon him for support. It was also stated by Mr. Dresser, in the course of the discussion, that upon 'one of the other slaves mentioned in the Governor's. writ being brought before the criminal Court of Virginia for the trial, of a mile prosequi was entered in his case, where upon ho was acquitted of the crime charged against him, and delivered over ter his waster, which he presumed was the plan of operations design• ed in this instance." . . A subsequent number of the Express gives the following account •of the conclusion of the case. "Diyosal of the Slave Case•—Oa Saw!. day Judge Irving gave his decision in the case of 'Ben, " the colored fugitive from the State of irginia. His • honor decided that the Governor's warrant was perfectly regular and effective, and that as_tt had not been denied that this was the mime indi vidual, hard as the case was, he had no alternative, his powers being limited, but to remand the prisoner; subject to the dis position of the authorities of the State of Virginia, by whom he was claimed as a In aitive from justice. The prisoner was then placed in the custody of Sheriff Waddy,.of Northampton, Virginia, for which destina tion lie has probably fro this embarked, leaving behind him all he holds dear on earth friendless and fatherless" 'l'he case is undoubtedly an afflicting and painful matter, but the law must have its course. Remarkable Discovery. It is welLknown to our readers that a mong the many natural curiosities found in the extensive caves and grottoes in the vicinity of the Great Laurel Bridges, (Cumberland Mountains,) many human skeletons and bones of animals have been discuvered,sorre of them in a petrified state. These cave abound in prodigious vaulted apartments and chambers, which, when viewed by torch light, exhibit •scenes of gloomy grandeur which astonish the beholder. Several pet• rifled trees have also been discovered on the banks of the river near this ridge, as also bones of mar»moths,and other animals whose races are now extinct. But the most remarkable diseniery that has ever been made in this pert of tho coun- try—if not the greatest natural curiosity in the world, was brought to light on Sunday, 24th January, by two scientific eentlemen with whom we are acquainted and who are now in town. They have been for several weeks exploring the caves above alluded to, and gathering such curiosities as they wish ed to carry away with them. They are provided for this purpose with a boat of gum elastic, and capable of buoy ing two persons. W ith this borii,and other conveniences procured for the purpose, they undoubtedly, before they leave their task, penetrate every accessible hole in the West Cumberland mountains—for they are determined to spend the whole Benson among them. The wonderful discovery which willUow shortly be presented to the public is ;three petrified bodies, entire, one of a dog and two human bodies, one of them, holding a spear. It is believed by these: gentlemen that nil three of the bodies may be removed from their position in a perfect state; though the' dog being in n lying posture upon a flat rock; it will undoubtedly be a difficult task to re move it uninjured. The human budies op pear to he those of men—probably hunters. Their clothing can hardly .be distinguished —but still it is evident that this too was keit measure turned te'stone.

From the National Enquirer Letter from J. Illatichard. GETTYSBURGH, Adams Co. Pa. April Ist, 18:37: MY DEAR BROTHEIE-1 know it will gladden your heart to learn, that this county is going for. tlie, good .. cause to which you have consecrated_ your life: I have been lecturing along:-jhe borders of Maryland, and have found, in the course of some dozen or fifteen lectutee, at . Rock-Creek Chapel, and at the schoolh ouses in the southern part of the county, tio, open opposition, - and but two individuals who were opposed.— One of these declared loudly against Textui, , and would hetet', seen that its admission to , the Union can be prevented, only. by the . suc: . cess of Abolition, if he had not been opposed' to us for ,fear we were opposed to his rum bottle. We have had a slight touch of debate here, an account ofqwhich you doubtless saw in the Gettysburgh "Star." We had music, during the first part of our discus sion, to . accompany my remarks; but to ward the latter part the house was perfect ly still. Near the south `,part of this county,' the people only require, to be shown ".how" public opinion will abolish slavery, by ren dering slaveholdersOespicable.' like other criminals; nod how the abolition et the sel ling human flesh bet Ween the states will' abolish slavery, by cutting off the supply of slaves from the sourhbru plantations, and , compelling the owners tehine their annual,, supply of laborers, inskl te of purchasing . them: and when the peetple clearly perceive slavery must go down, (rith the abolitiok of the slave trade betwee • nclha' States, they i . want no more argument mak e them atm. . litionists.

I asked: " Can we crass the ' leftist ..', -- direction," poiating above a plaister mill, "so as to come at the Methodist Churchr— "Dont know," he answered, "am a stranger in these ptirts. Don't care if Igo to the meeting a few minutes." His horse came along Hide Of mine at en easy 'elegant gallop. "Fine horse, that, said -I. "Yes—have been riding these three days, however."— This, he said, as showing how strong were his spirits to appear so gay after so long a ride. Thinking it Strange that a magi on a journey would stop ut mid-day, to attend inoetiug, I mistrusted he was a 'negro catch .er,' after his prey. Prav where was that horse raised, I asked. "Ilene—down here in Maryland, about 20 miles," was the reply. Do you tide a long journey? "No, I'm just going in the country—don't exactly know whore my friends live." This lie stammer ed out, much embarrassed. What do peo ple, think of shivery, where you live?- 4 Some of 'em argue that the negroes have no souls, just like the brutes." But do you think it right to•hold human bodies as pro perty? 1 asked. "Don't know any harm in it, if they don't sell them South." Why do you think it harm to sell them? "I'd rather tell myself," (sullenly,) On our arrival, he sat down in the churrh, - -well tilled with country people. I began: •friends you all despise the negro catcher, he who comes to4lrag poor wretch .es hack to slavery that have once escaped. ,(The people began to look at the stranger.) You•t Wok he deserves the fate he often meets . at the hands of the slaves. You do not be lieve his vile soul can ever be saved. But whir 4 , 1 you despise him, and not those Who send him among y ou after his human victim's?" Here the f ellow left the house, moonted •his horse, and rode away. I con chided he had enough "meeting" to last bin through his journey. Affectionately yours, for the oppressed. J. BLANCHARD. -wee-- The Rev..JOHN Mal-rims, Pastor o Nazorech Methodist Episcopal Church of New rork, has' been appointed Governor of Bases Cove, in Liberia, and has signified his willingness to accept of the appointment. His wife, with perhaps one or two other white persons, expects to accompany him to • his new field of labor. One well acquaint ed with, Mr. M. says: "He is truly a re ligious man, and is both a Christian and a gentleman; dignified in his manners ami able in his , spirits, systematic in his habits, diligent in balminess, lull of love to God and man; in short, know not his - superior for the office, and he ,wilf be a blessing to the colony." Hie weight of character, for he -is extensively , known and esteemed, will .-. greatly serve the cause. His wire also is among the excellent of . the earth, and would be,very useful to the colonists. WILLIAM PLATT, (formerly a magistrate of-the State of New Jersey,) has been sen tenced by Judge Baldwin to nine months Imprisonment to had labor, and 8750 fine and e.osts, on the indictments against him for, robbing wrecked vessels at Barnegat; the sentence was thus lenient out of respect to the recommendation of the Grand and Petit Jurors; and the fact, that the offences which originated these proncutions bad been entirely suppressed.

The North Star should have stated, that Mr. &ray ass was neutral as to the Presidential can didates, until Martin Van Buren appointed Grand Master DALLAS, and Great Grand High Priest Pouvisc-rr, to office, and declared that he would prohibit Emancipation in . the District of Columbia. And that after all this had happened, Gen FLINT went over and embraced his principles; and the Anti-Masonic and Abolition North Star continued to support him! Let intelligent men judge of the honesty and con% 6 tency of each Pittsburgh Gazette-Bawer County. (0 -We have read with pleasure the remarks of the "Pittsburgh Gazette" upon the Beaver mon grel proceedings appointing delegates to the Anti- Masonic State Convention at llarrisburgh. The Gazette is soundly Anti-Masonic In all its views, and condemns Masonic Whiggery" and Mason ic Van Burenism equally. Would to heaven the " Times' would do the same! But it seems to abhor only Whig Masonry, while it hugs Poinselt and Dallas and Van Buren Masonry to its bosom! It was once the noblest Anti-Masonic paper in the State. Bow has it fallen from its high estate! We mourn to loose so of l and so aule a friend to our cause! The Beaver proceedings were the poorest Jack- Masonic proceedings we have any where seen! Of course, *hi delegates will not be admitted into the . Convention under the credentials furnished by such a meeting.

QUA copy of this paper has been shewn us by a Giend—the editor having ceased exchanging with ns since ho tamed for Van Buren! Mr. Hatairr, (the Editor,) who was once an Anti-Mason, practises the same disingenuous arts which he so justly blamed in the Masonic papers. He calls Mr. RITNIII a Whig Governor! It is not ignorance in him. He well knows that Mr. Hinter has been, for the last ten years, and still is, an uncompromising Anti-Mason. That he has never apostatized Loan his principles, like friend Hallett and his Massachusetts Anti-Masons, who, with singular inconsistency, are now the fellow laborers of Van Buren, Dallas and Poinsett—two of whom at least are among the highest and bit terest Masons in the country! We trust that Mr. Hallett, for old friendship's sake, will cease nick-naming our worthy Governor with the name of u Whig." The Governor's Veto Message. try-The Veto is universally popular. We have not seen a single individual in this county, except our late Representatives, who disapproves of it.— All the Anti-Masonic papers in the State support it. It is true, that the Harrisburgh oßeperter," uKey-t3tone," and other Masonic papers condemn it in the bitterest terms. This we expected.

Take New York or Pennsylvania, for in. stance, and the amnunt expended by these two States on internal improvements is larg, er than that of the debt incurred by the Uni ted States, in achieving their independence. In an account of a late horse-race near New Orleans, it is mentioned that the pot son who took the money for the admission of spectators to the course, could not tell exactly how tmich he receivedots he did not find time to count it—but he sent into the city that eve9ing,luse barrelsofhulfdollars.

(V. M.) Virgin Mary stood amazed to see the fury and rage (of H. and Pi P.) of Herod and Pontius Pilate. -••••• • •...- THE VETO.;—The following article is from die Public Ledger, (a neutral paper.) “We commend this document to every Pennsylvanian who desires the permanent prosperity of our noble Commonwealth, and . we believe that every one who will reflect much upon the subject, will admit that the reasons of the Governor for returning the bill for internal improvements are substan tial. His principal reasons are that this bill if passed would dissipate the resourses of the state among works not owned by - it and thus retard the cmnpletion of.the great pub. lic works; that it would create a spirit of wild and reckless speculation in all parts of ihe slate in which the works proposed are located injurious alike to morals and whole some prosperity; and that it would augment the public debt to the enormous sum of 45,. 000,000, a severe burden upon its resew ces. The document is characterized by the sound, practical views, and nervous, manly style which appear in all the state papers of Governor Rimer, and which prove him to he precisely such a Governor as Pennsyl vania requires; intelligent, considerate and firm; the advocate of internal improvement upon it large scale, yet strictly for the ern me good; the opponent of all wild projects for growing rich suddenly, and which are as injurious to the character, as they are to the permanent interests of a people. "In :short, the message is replete with practical good sense, and written in a man ly, dignified, yet modest and courteous tone. A GOOD R Ur. GEORGE Dutkirr has given notice in the Bedford (Pa.)
