For Inc "Star aad Banner:" Ma. Eurron:—Whilst "Socrates, Min tippe, Theodociti" &c. have shoue conspic uously in your columns, and have met with a perusal by the public ; may not Plato also find a place in your columns, and wall his sentiments abroad. His course will however, be widely different from that of . Socrates or Xantippe, and his subject be re ceived in quite a different light. Their subject was "whether the intellectual pow. era of women are equal to those of , men ?" But his subject will be, The dejecrive modes of Education, especially in common or pri mary schools. And to- this he proceeds with considerable hesitancy, fearing that ho may perhaps not succeed well, or offend the public. He trusts however that it may receive an attentive perusal. And with Mese preliminary remarks ho proceeds to his task. There are few subjects, which have so frequently engaged i the attention of the lit erary public as the instruction of the young; and yet there is no subject about which so many vague and erroneous notions general ly prevail. No term has been more abused and misapplied than Education. By the great majority of our coOntrymen. Education is considered as consisting mere ly in the acquisition of pronunciation, spel ling, reading, writing and some little Arith metic ; which,'bv them, is deemed sufficient for an ordinary occupation. Nor would we presume to say that it may not be sufficient, but we do say that the youtfg ought to be properly and thoroughly instructed in these I r aches, and not be contented with but a superficial knowledge of them. It is to be deeply regretted, that, up to the present time, with a few exceptions,—in an age deemed liberal and enlightened, the system on which Education it, conducted-is repug tient to the dictates of reason, insufficient for enlightening and meliorating the human mind, and is little short of an insult offered to the understandings of the young. While many an initiary book has for its motto.— ~ 11elightf ul task to rear the tentle; thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, And pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind." The great objects which Education ought to promote have been miserably neglected. A farrago of words has been substituted in the place of things; the elements of lan. guage have been preferred to the elements M thovght. The key of knowledge has been exhibited instead of knowledge itself ; and the youthful mind at the termination of the common process of instruction, is al most as destitute of ideas as at its com• mencement. At that period when the minds of the young begin to expand,—when they ar dently thirst after novelty and variety,— when they are active to the beauties and eublimities of nature, and listen with de light to the descriptions of other countries, and the tales of other times ;—instead ofi being gratified with the exhibition of all l that is interesting in the scenes of creation and the history of man,—they are set down' in a corner to plod over unknown characters 1 1 and strange sounds,--no pleasing objects are exhibited to inspire the youthful minds with delight,—their memories are'burdened, whilst . their understandings are neglected and, after many painful efforts, intermingled with cries and tears, while the detested task is brining over their heads, they are enit• bled to repeat their dry lessons, pouring out their words with a velocity like water burst ink forth from a spout, without a single idea connected with their exercises, "un derstanding neither what they say, or whereof they affirm." Hence it has too frequently happened that the school•room has been viewed as it prison, the teacher as a tyrant, and the scholastic exercises, which they engaged, as repugnant to their natural vivacity. And hence they have frequently been driven to the school, like sheep to the slaughter, and like criminals to jail; or carried on the shoulders of their companilns or even parents amidst cries, lamentations and fearful forebodings of punishment. And of this I have myself been a witness. And is this, I ask, a prop et way of promoting the education of the young? Every sensible and unprejudiced wader wi11,.1 fondly hope; answer in the sitire. Then ought to be no such corn and we are assured, that, were the ti:a.,': , .adr,f , .NW.•7.TAi Education of the young properly conduct. ed, and in such a manner es would be pleas ing to the young, there would be no occa sion for such compulsion ; children would with joy flee to the school as a source of great pleasure and delight. And it tea de lightful task to the teacher to instruct the youthful mind in those things which will add to their pleasure. How pleasing! to see them look ap with sparkling eyes and joyful countenance eager to catch every syllable uttered by their teacher. But let us return to our subject. After a superficial knowledge of the characters of the Alphabet, and of the prin ciple elementary sounds, is acquired; the scholar is led through a series of dry and uninteresting lessons and spelling exercises, such as ha, he, hi, ho, hu ; aj, ij, oj, uj ; gra, gre, gri, gro, gru, in which his memo ry and his faculty of pronunciation are solely exercised. And, after being some• time engaged in these spelling exercises, he is made to read when he cannot even spell the words contained in his reading lesson. 'rho New Testament is next put into his hands, and after reading a portion of it with great difficulty and awkwardness, and be fore he is able to read one sentence with ac• curacy, he is introduced into another and much more difficult book, in which there is scarcely ono selection interesting to the youthful mind, or level to its comprehension. But-this seems by many to be considered as a matter of minor importance, for it is eel. dom or never attempted, particularly in country schools, to convey to the minds of the . young the ideas contained in the les sons they road and commit to memory. Writing is next attempted, but this beau tiful art is shamefully neglected by a great portion of our countrymen. To many this art has not even been extended ; and would you require proof for the assertion, 1 would go abroad and paint out hundreds, who are deprived of this useful art. But we rejoice to see that at present it is attended to by al most all classes of people. But still the mode of teaching it is defective in some parts of the country. The pupil ie furnish ed with the whole alphabet for his first copy, without the least instruction how to hold his pen oar to commence his letters, soon after he is hirnished with regular cop ies, even before he knows all the letters. And thus his hand writing is literally 'spoiled." Arithmetic follows in the rear, and the scholar, after hurrying throiigh its tour Inn damental rules, without any sensible illus trations of the different operations, is exer• cised in calculations respecting Practice, 'fare and Tret, Interest and Annuities, the square and Cube Roots, Exchange, Dis count, Fellowship, &c., before he has the least knowledge of the nature of these trans actions; and consequently like one walking in the dark is unable to perceive the drift and tendency of most of his operations, or the foundations of the rules by which he calculates. And hence it often happens that, when he actually engages in the busi ness of life, he has almost the whole of his arithmetical processes to study ever again, and to re-investigate the foundations,objects, and principles of his operations, in their ap plication to the transactions in which he is engaged. Geography and English Grammer are branches which are very little attended to in our country schools, not withstanding their great importance and utility. But the res. atm is very satisiactory, it is becaase the teachers employed in the country schools are' not competent to teach these branches. But suppose they are taught by some (which we would not presume to deny) it is still in an imperfect manner. Geography is atten ded too by merely getting by note the ques. lion without any instructions whatever. And hence it follows that pupils can form no idea at all of the structure of the mirth and the situation and condition of differen countries, for without satisfactory explana tions and instructions the youthful mind is perplexed nothing will be impressed upon it that it might be useful. When the scholar is introduced to the study of the English Grammer, after feeling much apathy and even disgust at this abstract science, and experiencing many days of ungratefiii labor, he is able to repeat a low of its rules and definitions. And like a parrot he may tell us by wrote what is a verb and adverb or a proposition, without understanding what he says, or annexing a single idea to any of the rules or definitions he repeats. By means of Walker's or Webster's Dictionaty he learns that virtue is a noun, because n, is annexed to it ; that virtuous is an adjective, because adj is annexed to it ; that to learn is a verb, because v•is annexed to it ; and so with all the parts of speech ; but beyond such reasons he seldom attempts to aspire. Such is the amount of Education which a great mass of our population receive prior to their entrance on the sceces of active life. To affirm that it is attended by no beneficial effete, would be to fly in the face of all observation and experience. It pro. pares the mind,in some measure, for certain avocations in civil society and for the recep- tion of knowledge in after life, should it ever be exhibited in a more judicious and intelli. gent manner ; ani in some instances, when combined with judicious domestic instruc- tion, it will assist and direct the pupil, in the pursuit of knowledge and of mental en joymats. But, considered by itself, as a system of culture for rational and immortal beings, in order to the developement of their moral and intellectual powers, and as a properation for a higher state of existence, it is miserably deficient, both in the means which are employed, in the range of in struction, and in the objects which it is cal culated to accemplish. PLATO. Farthe Star 4- Banner. Frederick Cozenly Beat. Having visited the new dr,"extenttive Mer chant Mill of Mr.GaonuE ARNOLD, in Ger many township, Pa. I pronounce it one of the best establishments of the kind, I have at any time seen. The Mill House is large ea commodious, containing four run of =tones and ono pair of rubbers. The ma chinery is less complicated than that ofany Mill I have seen, and, at the same time, well calculated . to do all that many Mills - with double the machinery can do. It is built upon the most modern and impro• ved plan, and is in fact complete. The gee. ring is all of the bevel or side work and the workmanship and materials of the very best kind. It is due to Mr. A. to say that in the building and planning of his Mill, he has manifested both skill and judgment, and I would hero recommend to any gehtleman intending to build a mill to visit Mr. Ar nold's I have no hesitation in saying that in paint of finish and convenience it is not equalled by any in the County in which rosido. The Mill-dam is built entirely of hewn stone, and is one of the best and most permanent I have ever seen. A Citizen of Frederick county lild June 12,1836. irr From Ilarrisburg. Correapontlonco of tho Philadolphia Inquirer HARRISBURG, Juno 7, 1889. In the Senate, immediately alter tho reading of the Journal, Mr. Myers read from a newspaper the deposition of J. B. Quigley, giving an account of a conversa tion between the Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth and Mr. Senator Miller, (of Adams,)in which he admitted that the in tention of the riot last fall was to hang Ste. yens and Penrose•—Ho asked the chair• man of the committee (Mr. Barclay) how such paper could find way into the newspa pers, and whether he admitted the journal of the committee to inspection. M r. Barclay replied that the doors of the committee were open, and any person was priviledged to take notes and publish if they pleased. The subject was postponed on motion of Mr. Rogers, the friend of Mr. Myers. In the Senate Mr. Brown from tho com• mittee to ecamine the accounts of tho late Boacd of Canal Commissioners, in repairing the Juniatta Breach last summer, after the great flood, made report of a resolution that the amount should be paid, and the same was adopted. It will be remembered,that the late bard of Canal Commissioners, after the disaster, repaired to the spot, and immediately com menced the repair. They procnred the money from the United States Bank, which volunteered the loan, the Governor not see ing fit to convoke the Legislature. The money has until this time been unpaid, but is now provided for, under a la-e loan. A resolution was laid on the table by Mr. Pearson, censuring the conduct of the Go vernor in his late insulting message on the subject of the payment of the con tractors on the Gettysburg Rail Road. He pronounced the message unbecoming the Governor, and discourteous, and not giving the information required by the Senate. Some forty or fifty sections of the election bill were considered, and numerous private bills passed. In the House, a resolution to pay off the notes given by the late Guvernor and Canal Commissioners to the U. S. Bank, to raise money to repatr t the Juniatta - Canal breach, was considered. The passage of the reso lution was supported by Mr. Cox, and op posed by Mr. Brodhead. In the course of the debate it appeared that the money to pay the debt had been borrowed in March last, that it now remains in deposit in the Girard Bank, and that the State is paying at the rate of 10 per cent. on about 400,- 000 dollars. The United States Bank must of course receive interest, as well as the loan holders. Mr. Brodhead went upon the gound of fraud in that repair, though the Senate Cornmittee put such impressions 4own. Mr. Cox called for a settlement of the account. Ho said all that was wanted was an examination.. The resolution was finally referred to the Judiciary corn mi ttee. The Senate wont in Committee of the whole on the Improvement Bill, and the commitee decided on sustaining the North Branch Line by an appropriation of 500,. 000 dollars. Mr. Rogers supported it, and stated his belief that the New York connection would be made.—Mr. Michler, one of the committee which visited Albany, held the same view, .11e said all parties there wore more or less interested in it— that the Ex-Governor and present Gover nor were in favor of it. A Bill to forma new County to be called "Clinton"' out of parts of Lycoming and Clearfield, passed second reading. The House, to.day, showed an unex pected instance of justice and propriety, by passing Mr. Conigmacher's bill to establish an asylum for the insane poor of this Com monwealth. There is not another instance of a more humane bill. In some parts of the country there is very gross ignorance relative to the manner of treating the unfor tunate insane. There is an instance in Cumberland county 'of an individual who has now been chained for twenty years, without intermission. Open a way for kind treatment for the insane,and humanity will be relieved from a vast amount of suf fering. Mr. Konigmacher deserves very great credit for his industry and perseve rance in this matter: By thousands of in dividuals he will be called "blessed." The bill to extend the Reading and Phi adelphia Rail Road was defeated. It was aken up in committee of tho whole, when he committee rose they were to sit again on he 4th of July. In Senate, the bill to increase the salaries of all the Judges in the State passed. Their salaries are increased about 25 per cent.— both president and associate judges. Im- provement bill again in committee of the whole, but no question of importance. The bill to remove the cause pending about Lafayette College, to another county, pas. sed committee of the whole. In the House, the bill relative to the Nicholson and Boynton lands, passed setond and third reading. The bill from the Sen. ate relativeto Elections, was taken up in committee of the whole, and some thirty sectionr passed. One of the sections pro. vided that naturalised persona, after a cer tain length of residence, may be allowed to voto on oath, without the production of their naturalisation papers. Mr. Spackman moved to strike this section out. The ameodmont of course was negatived. The bill making an appropriation of seven hundred thousand dollars for repairs of tho public works, was then taken up, and it passed through final reading. Mr. T. S. Smith moved an amendment, to re• duce the amount to 50(1,000 dollars ; but by a party it was negatived. The bill pas. sad by a party vote altogether. In the Senate,the Improvement bill went through committee of the whole. The principal matter in discussion was the mode of avoiding the Shuylkill inclined plane. ft was finally agreed to have a report from the Board of Commissioners on the subject. The Valley route, and the West Philadel. phia route, were each advocated Black Eddy lock was negatived. Mr. Stevens has been expected in town to•day with much interest, by his friends, but he has not arrived. He will be hero to morrow without doubt, and will if per mitted, take his seat on Wednesday. „ In the House, Mr. T. S. Cunningham of fared a joint resolution to authorise the Governor to borrow money to pay off con tractors for work done, when the appropria tions shall have been exhausted, which was laid on the table. Mr. Hegins offered a joint resolution in structiug our Senators and..requesting our members in Congress to use their exertions to have a sand bar removed in the Susque. henna river, near Havre de Grace, by the General Government, to prevent obstruc tion to the river navigation, which was laid on the table. June 11 Mr. Snowden from the committee to in. vestigate the disturbances in the Capitol in December last, made report of the teatime ny taken by the committee, and after some debate 5,000 copies in English, and 1,500 in German wore ordered to be printed. Bill to incorporate the Mount Carmel Cemetery Company passed second and final reading. The bill to apply one-half of the Shop tax to keep open the Deleware in winter, was up, and alter much difficulty passed second reading. Mr. Pray opposed it. In the Senate, a bill providing for the ap• pointtnent or election of sundry public offi cers, such as County Surveyors, was under consideration and finally passed: By the amendments the Canal Commissioners were to bo elected by the people at large, for three years, one to be elected each year. 1:26 - Prc..ecuting Attorneys to be elected by the . people in each county. On these cpestiono the Whigs voted to place power tp the hands of-the people, and self-styled *mom& voted to keep the patronage in the hands of the Governor, where it is now placed. They have become suddenly con verted from their reform notions, as would appear from their votes to-day. Juno 13 The Secretary of the Commonwealth this morning communicated to the Speaker of the House, the returns of the Special Election in Adams County, by which it ap peared that Mr. Thaddeus Stevens was re elected. Mr. Spacktnan rose in his place, and announced the attendance of Mr. Ste yens, who came forward and was duly qua lified. The friendc of Mr. Stevens greeted his attendance with much warmth. He was surrounded by troops of friends. The galleries of the House wore much crowded with spectators, expecting a scene, but all passed off as a matter of course. Mr. Cox, on the part of the committee of conferet.ce, to whom was referred the bill relative to the election of Justices of the Peace and Aldermen, made a report which was accepted. The committee a greed upon a provision to require bail from justices in all cases were they are not free. holders. Mr. Zeilen offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee to inquire why the volumes of Convention Debates, lately printed, are so much smaller than usual, and whether the State is not defrauded thereby. The motion was considered, and Mr. Stevens made a few remarks upon the subject. He called the speeches crude trash —that the Debates in other States had not amounted, in any one instance to more than two volumes, while here there were fifteen of them. He said the late Conran tirn would cost about half a million, while June 14. the Convention of 1790 cost only about 89,000. The printing of the Convention he said, would cost about 100,000 dollars. He said the speeches were all trash, and all the volumes of the Debates would be good for, was waste paper. The State has al. ready paid enough, and he was in favor of the committee. The resolution was agreed to, and Mr. Zeilin, Roberts and Brodhead were appointed the committee, with instruc tions to report on Friday next. The committee on accounts made a re port to pay about 1300 dollars to an extra corps of engineers, employed by Mr. Mc• Elwees committee to examine the Gettys burg Rail road. Mr. Stevens made some remarks which created a good deal of amusement.—He called the committee a coroner's inquest. He said the corps of en gineers had been engaged in surveying this road since its defeat in January ; one em ployed by the Canal Commissioners and ono by the committee.—The committee had also amused themselves along the road, and he could truly say that the Chairman (Mc- Elwee) had made more money out of this road, within two years, than he had by his business in ten. He remarked that his bill this winter, was two hudred and sixty dol lars. The bill to incorporate the Philadelphia Medical College, passed committee of the whole. June, 17. The Senate was again engaged with the mprovement bill. Juno 20. The House was engaged moat of the day in the consideration of the Election Bill. So many amendments were adopted to the bill, as it passed the Senate, that it is not probable it can pass this session. There are three working days now left, and the Improvemhnt Bill ►s still pending in the Senate. The House passed a resolution to require the Auditor General to settle the accounts of the late Board of Canal Commissioners for repairing the great canal breach last summer. The Supreme Conrt is at this time enga ged in the consideration of the quo war ranto case against Judge Collin, of Lan caster. For the Commonwealth J. M. Porter, Esq. and the Attorney General ap pears ; for the defendant, T• Stevens and Samuel Parke Esq. Mr- Porter finished the opening argument this evening, and Mr. Parke will repl3 to-morrow. The Judge was himself in Court beside his counsel. The case attracts considerable interest. In the House, Mr Smith of Franklin, from a committee of conference made a report respecting the Cumberland Valley Rail Road, which was accepted. The bill relating to the Lumberman's Bank passed final reading—Yeas 43 Nays 33. Juno 18. In the Senate, the Improvement bill pas sed third reading, and wee sent to the House. It eppropriatesabove two millions —repairs, 84U0,000, the branches 000,- 000 each. Numerous bills passed ; among them ono to ii,corporate the Penn Township cemetery. The Supreme Court finished the hearing of the arguments in the quo warranto case to-day. The arguments were brief, Mr. Stevens' in particular. The result is looked upon by some able lawyers as doubtful. The House of Representatives this morning considered the amendments made by the Senate to the Bill relative to the elec. tion of Prothonotaries, dire. The most im portant amendments provied for the election of Canal Commissioners, Public Notaries and Deputy of the Attorney General by the people. These are all non-concurred in by a party vote of 51 to 38. A report was read in the Senate by Mr. Strohm in relation to the treatment of Con tractors on the Public Works. By it, it appears that they have been engaged ever since their appointment in the laudable ob. ject of ruining contractors, who had work under the late administration. These men say that they are ruined at any rate, and that they prefer the Public Work shall stop. In that case they will receive their back per centage—ten per cent. The Hon. Calvin Blythe resigned his judgeship yesterday. Mr. B. hue been a most excellent Judge, and a good man—in fact he has no superior in public estimation. His reasons tor resigning are:private. Mr. B. has been frequently spoken of as a can• di late for Governor. From Our Huriiiiburg Correspondent. HARRISBURG, June 22, 1839. June 19. MR. PAXTON :—The bill that passed the Senate submitting to the people, the right to elect the Canal Commissioners, came up this morning before the House, Mr. Ste vens very ably supported the measure, and after some remarks by T. B. M'Elwee the question was decided in the negative, 39 voting for, and 51 against the people. The majority being that portion of the members of the House who so lately made so much ' noise about the \ rights of the dear people, and - Democratic principles, in this case they have a full example of how far they are willing to confide in the voice of the people, or trust to their care the election of their officers. The bill as amended by the Senate provi ding for the repairs and improvements of the public Works,came under consideration, Mr. Stevens proposed to amend after the enacting clause, by making it lawful for contractors, whose contracts have been de clared abandoned within the last two years, to bring suit against the Canal Commis sioners before the Judges of the Court of the county wherein such abandoned con tracts were situated, after some discussion the amendment was negatived 98 for it, and 50 against it—before the bill was passed through, the House adjourned. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Legislature adjourned sine die, this evening, between 0 and 7 o'clock. This day and yesterday have been altogether occupied in considering amendments. Amidst the noise and confusion, not un frequently the moat important bills pass as mendments—it is difficult to aster• tain their import. To-day an improvemen bill went through as an amendment to an other bill, but it is a judicious bill. 1 amounts to two millions. The last day of the session is always more or lets occupied in settling of ac counts. The printers and officers are then to be paid off Among the bills today, was one of twenty-five thousand dollars, for printiug the English Journal. This is an immense bill. Mr. Stevens thought the Committee of accounts had made some mistake in sett ling it, and he moved an audit of it, but the party voted to sustain , their printers—last fear the same printing, as elated by. Mr. Stevens, cost $14,000, and the year 1836, when there was also an extra session it cost 86000. 1 merely give this as an indicia of the times. Thousands will not satisfy now, where hundreds would a few years ago. In Senate, Mr. Williams called up his , actlution, declaring the message of the Governor, relative to the Gettysburg Rail Road discourteous. dec. The message was sent in some days ago, and the resolution was then offered. It passed to.dav, 15 to 9. The Speaker of the Senate, in announcing the final adjournment, made a few very feel. ing and appropriate remarks, which had visible effect upon the members. They seemed to part in the Senate Chamber with the best feeling towards each' other, petso nally. So the session ended. The following from the Buffalo Patriat, shows the opinion entertained in other States of the late outrage, and violation of the constitution by the Rump House LOGO FOCO RULE IN PENNSYL. Our readers aro already apprised of the outrage upon the rights of the people of Adams county, Pennsylvania,committed by the Loco Foco majority in the Legislature of that State, in refusing to allow Mr. Thad ' deus Stevens, member elect, to take his coat as a Representative of that county. It appears that the Representative Jack Cadet:, first virtually expelled Mr. Stevens; and then appointed a e mmtitee to inquire if ho had not forfeited his seat I This is your true Loco Foco Lynch law mode of administering justice. From the annexed correspondence, how. ever which we find in the Philadelphia' papers, it would seem that Mr. Stevens de. clines to go through the form of trial as the party defendant, turns prosecutor ; andi makes the self constituted court take the place of the culprit. His reply to the committee, is well spiced with the biting sarcasm which the writer knows so well to apply ; and the sooner the brigands ie the Legislature leave him alone, the less pepper they will be compelled to swallow.

This majority was not an assemblage of Whigs collec ted.to promote Whig principles but an assemblage of men, guided by Masonic influence, concealed under an affected devotion for the worth and tel tents of the man, Henry Clay. If this convention was called to advance the Whig cause, its members were singulary unfortu nate in the way they took to promote it ; for wo hove been assured, by one of the members, that «for every word, said against Martin Van Buren an 4 the corruptions of his administration, there were five spoken against Anti-Masonry and Anti- Masons." The whole, however, will work we hope, for good. The untramelled portion of that Conven tion, will now be aware of the Influence of Mas onry ; and we mistake much, if they be not found hereafter allied with the true Whigs the Antirnasons, contending against corruption and usurpation, whether practised in 'secret by the Lodge or openly by the administration of the Government. We feel sure that ell the true friends of the .country, in this State, will rally under the genuine Whig banner. inscribed with the name of Har eison ; whilst the «Corporal's Guard," led by •such men'as Chandler, Ingersoll, and other etas- ens whom we could name; will ultimately bo found, fighting under the flag which waves over --'',the band of plunderers and robbers, known, as the administration of the General Government. .• The loos of these men will be little felt ; and Abe pirty that is rid of them need not lament. It is such men that procure for a party, such a :sobriquet as the aeternal minority." Martin Van Buren. Tho President of the United States arrived at York, Pa., on Friday week last, and on Saturday morning persuad his journey to Harrisburg, tak ing that route to New York, in which state ho intends to remain during the month of July. Ho professes in his present tour great anxiety to avoid display—refuses to receive any public en tertainment, and his travelling equipage is plain almost to shabbiness. "We believe," says the •York Republican,' (from which the above has been obtained) "that this affectation of republican simplicity is a mere gull-trop. a miserable attempt at humbugging the people. Tho whole thing is alien and uncongeniel to his disposition ; but ho is again the candidate for the Presidency, he is traveling among a plain aid industrious people, and hopes by an assumption of this kind to confirm and strengthen his popularity with them, and draw off their attention from the destructive and selfish course of his public policy. We therefore regard this pretence 'ofiplainess as , an insult ;to the pe*le ; and while we cordially admit, that as President of the United States, courtesy and •civility should be extended towards him, we would nevertheless point to the measures of his admi nistration, u the things which should impel all true republicans to oppose his re-election to the , Presidential chair." Oahe editor of the "Lancaster Intelligencor" one of the rankest Loco Foco Journals in the State and not inferior to the "Iron Gray," itself in point, of the most contemptable, vulgar, foul mouthed abuse of men, who would think them selves disgraced by bolding the smallest commu nication with such wretches; in speaking of the famous "Committee of Safety" says "They were a body of patriotic citizens, met together for a high and solemn purpose • —the preservation of law and the main• tainauce of Government. That they were deserving of the thanks of all good men, . and that they wore the benefactors of their country." Well now Johnny if you lived In our "pert■" they would call you a fool.

Their conduct at the April term fully proves this, and the Governor has virtually refused to nominate n candidate for confirmation or rejection by the Senate, whilst that body was in session. Should such a subterfuge enable the rebels to escape the penalty of the law, it will prove to the public, that the consciousness of guilt which haunts the criminal compelled the rebels to employ the pow. er of the party Executive to screen them from the punishment due to their crimes. (0 Below is a specimen of tho way in which the late Chambersburg Convention was crnstitu ted. From the call fur the mooting to appoint delegates, it will be seen that the Whigs, there, did not "go behind the bush." The call was ad dressed to those"FRIENDLY TO THE ELEC TION OF HENRY CLAY"—and the meeting held, on the same day the call teas published! Tho citizens of Schuylkill county had, certainly a very good opportunity of expressing their prefer ence, when the call was issued and the mooting held on the same day !I This however is the way Mr. Clay must bo nominated. If nominated at all, he must steal a nomination. "We have seen, on what we deem good ground, objection stated to the constitution of the late Chambersburg Convention. It is of the utmost importance to the Whig party that its strength in the States severally should be ascertained, and the preferences existing for the presidential candidates. The Chambershurg Convention, styled a "Whig Convention," pas.ed resolutions by a majority of votes favorable to Mr. Clay. We give below a call for a meeting in Schuylkill county to appoint delegates to that body." Chambersburg Convention. "A meeting of the citizens of Schuylkill county, friendly to the elec tion of HENRY CLAY to the Pres idency, will be held at Henry Stager's Hotel, in the Borough of Pottsville, this day, June Bth, 1839, at 3 o'clock, P. M., for the purpose of choosing Delegates to the Chambersburg Con vention, and also to choose two Con ferees to meet those appointed in Schuylkill county, to appoint Delega tes to the National Convention to be held in December next at Harrisburg." A course such as this, is, to use the most lenient term, bad policy. We entertain as high respect for Mr. Clay as any of our fellow citizens possibly can, and would wish him, above all others, to succeed the present Chief Magistrate. But personal prefer ence cannot blind us to plain facts. We do- not believe from the evidence of the past that Mr. Clay can get the eleetoral vote of Pennsylvania. Ohio he will also lose, and probably Indiana.—Nattonal Gazette. Improvement Bill From the. "Telegraph" wo learn that after the bill was lost on account of the Committee of con ference of-the two Houses not being able to agree upon the amendments Mr. Strohn offered a res olution making the appropriations which passed tho Senate, with provisions that the Canal Com missioners shall rolet na.work declared abandoned, or that shall be declared abandoned by thorn : and to protect the oppressed contractors, upon the North Branch, and their lines of improvements. In this shape tho bill was sent to the ., House. where a motion was made by Mr. Regina to amend the restriction relative to the Canal Com missioners, so as to allow no work to be rola ex cepting such as may be declared abandoned by them for breach of contract. The motion was carried by a majority of 4 votes. A motion Was then made to strike out that section, which after a desperate rally of the Loco Foco leaders, was carried, and the saving provis ion lost. McElwee then moved to amend the bill by striking out the provision instructitg the Ca nal Commissioners to have a re-measurement of the work taken by the late and present Engineers, which was lost by a majority of 2 votes. In this shape the bill was sent back to the Rea. ate, where Mr. Williams moved en amendment to the bill, to allow the contractors driven from their lines a trial by Jury for their rights. The question being on non concurrence with the a mendments of the House; The previous question was moved and the amendment cut off and sus tained by a majority of 7 votes. The question of non concurrence was then put and carried by a majority of 6 votes. So the Senate concurred in the amendments of the House, and delivered the contractors up to the tender mercies of the Canal Commissioners, rath er than have no improvement bill. The follow ing is the improvement bill as it passed on the last day of the Session: To the Erie Extension $550,000. North Branch 400,000. Wistonisco Feeder .160,000. For the completion of the rail= way to avoid the inclined plane at Columbia 39,000 For the construction of a reser, voir or reservoirs at or near the termination or terming• Lions of the Allegheny Port• age Rail Road, 70,000. For purchasing new locomotive engines and ropes for the Columbia and Portage rail• road, 100,000. For repairs on the difrerent lines of canal and railroad, 405,000. To pay debts due for repairs . and for surveys Which havo been heretofore authorized, 145,000. For damages, 15,000. Surveys for Railroad to Pitts burg, 30,000. For new work on finished lines, pay of canal commissioners, appraisers, lock•keers, &c. &c. 40, 00. 0 -to the lest 4 , Cotnpiler," there is an article reflecting, in indecent terms, on the Professors of Pennsyvanis College, for having exercised the tight of suffrage, at the late Special Election, in this county. Does the ..Comptler," hold that below a Professor in a College, or a Minister of tbeiGos pel, should disfranchise a man 1 Nothing else can be interred from the tenor of the article. It le true, we believe, that the Professors of the College did vote at the tate election, and we be- Hove also, that they voted for the Candidate, in whose person the Constitution and Laws bad been violated. But wo presume no person ever heard that either of the Gentlemen, connected with college, had mingled in party politics, or obtruded his opinions upon other men. Thn Pre sident and Professors of the College, wo have always thought, were singularly careful in this respect. We believe it is also true, that almost every Clergyman, of every Christian denomination in the county, voted the same way. We know but one exception. The nCompiler" finds fault with them as well as with the Professors of Literary Institutions, for exercising the tight of suffrage. The. Editor is also opposed, it would appear, to Literary Institutions, being likely to breed "young aristocrats." Religion and Education, it seems, aro equally opposed to the principles and success of the party, with which tho enlightened editor numbers himself ! Verily we believe it. Public Dinner. to Mr. STEVENS, on the 4th of July at Lancaster. Ms. Etrxvares, haP accepted of an invitation from tho Democratic Antimasons of Lancaster county, to a public dinner on the 4th of July next. Below we give his answer to the polite and cor dial invitation of the committee: aIiNTIMIEN : I received your letter of the Bth inst., tendering me a public dinner, as a mark of yoer indignation at the late outrage of the House of Representatives. It will give me great pleasure to unite with my Democratic Antimesonic fellow citizens of Lancaster county, to signalizing their ab borence of acts so dangerous to all public and private rights; so subversive of Liber ty. As you desire me to designate the time, and understanding that the 4th of July 'next, would be most convenient to you, I would name that day. Very respectfully Your obedient servant, THADDEUS STEVENS. Messrs. Patterson, Suwon, Parke, Ford, Ellimiter, and others. The following is a resolution passed at a meeting of the Fairfield Temperance Society, on the Ibth of June last: WHEREAS, The Court of Adams Coun ty has issued a rule impliedly setting forth the evil of licensed Retailers selling drink to tipplers and others, who are thereby de grading themselves and bringing down ruin and misery on their families. AND W HERM, Said court, have decreed, ihat, all Retailers who persist in giving drink to the characters specified in said yule, shall, on due proof being made to the court thereafter, forfeit their license. Therefore, Resolved, That we do approve of these proceedings, and that as citizens, and friends of the Temperance Reformation, we will use our efforts to sustain the court, in a course so intimately connected with the best inteiests of many of our friends and felbw beings; and, that we solicit the co operation of our fellow citizens throughout the County. Description of Charles Pray Mr. Pray, the Loco Foco leader of the House, having made some abusive remarks against Mr. Stevens, on the question of pay ing the Loco Foco printers of the English journal $24,000, and those of the German journal $14,000, for this session, Mr. Ste vens rose and said he "hoped no honorable gentleman would expect him to reply to any thing that might issue from any of the orifi ces of that monstrous mass of clay which I was thrown by the December mob, upon ono of the chairs of the Philadelphia County Delegation, and had ever since stuck there by the force of its slime." So apt, full and complete a description of Pray, filled the House with a roar of laugh ter from all sides—but the slimey gentleman attempted no reply.—Penn. Telegraph.
