This is a new doctrine, and a new reading

This is an aggressive policy, and is in

into jail, the writ of the haliens corpus

Massachusetts sent to South Carolina one
of her foremost advocates to have this law
tested before the judicial tribunal of that
State and the couutry. This law was pro
flounced by Wm. Wirt as unconstitution

date for : Whom six Republicans bid voted.
During the vote there was mush ex
citement, and a large amount of political
manipulation was performed, especially
upon the North-western Democrats—who
had been elected to their place by the lib
erty-loving Germans, Norwegians, Danes
and Swiss, and who had to stretph their
eoncieaces a great way before they could
vote for a Know-Nothing, but they sue

adjourned over until Monday, after the
vote.
The County Superintendency.
We do not know that there , is a single
person in the county who,deubts the ben
eficial influence of this office; but as there
may be, we deem 'it proper to call atten
tion briefly to the marked acd happy in
fluence which the County Superintendent
has exerted in this vounv. This office
has improved the staestard of teaching,
and has made the profession .of..Tesolter
more honorable. It has greatly increased
the interest in educational matters, ziud
so has established Teachers Institutes as
a permanent institution. Now we look
upon these Institutes as of the highest
importance, not: only to Teachers but to
the entire. community. They improve i
those having the charge of children, mak
ing them better Teachers in every way;
morally, mentally and 'physically. They
also improve the children. The lectures
delivered before the last iustitute held in
Coudersport, were of themselves worth
far more to this county than 'be nest of
the Superintendency for ai m I
Those
lectures will exert an influence far good
on the entire county, and -the circle of
their influence no man can measure. The i
office of Coun:y Superintendent, we sub
mit is of more importance than any other
in the County, and should be cherished,
respeeted, sustained, with whole hearts
and free hands. In six years it has qui.
etly and almost imperceptibly driven
nearly every iattporal and incotupetent
Teacher out of the schools.. It has great.
ly improved the manner and character of
Welting, and lifted our schools up to a
higher position. But we will not further
specify. Any potion can run this article
out to great length to suit theplace where
it Is read.
The First Effort to Dissolve the
Union.
The glays-holders have made so many
thmsts against the Union, and said so
many times that they maid - dissolve it
unless the North would submit to all their
demands.; that it became a stale story
that no bteiy believed. Jut the pros.
pect of losing ell the fOt offices in
the gift • of the. National Adminis
tration, has so awned glom that they
have actually taken the OW atep in a dm,
solution of the Unice. Their first, step
is thus described by the,Washington tort
respondent of the N. Y. Jaelefendent:
,WASHINGTON, D. C., tign. 21, 1860
The week `closes in Congress with per

time since the first wcek.ot the session.
The conduct of the Southern Demberats,
abasing as they have done most shame-'
tally:Mr:Sherman, and misrepresenting
the principlex of the Republican party,
has engendered a strong feeling of italig
liatiop - end of antagonism among the Re
