IA Republican Governor and State officers are elected by a decided majority, with a good working, majority in both branches I of the Legislature, thereby securing the election' of a Republican U. S. Ser.itor in 1861. Last Monday was a glorious day fbr Freedom, and a dead cheek to .pro ;livery irrog,ance and corruption.

Seymour could not win. /4/&- The bill 'to .erect the new county. of . ...Cameron" out of parts' of Potter, Clinton, Elk and 3lcKeam, has passed both houses of the Legislature. We do not, know what the terms of the bill are; but our last advices were that it proposed to take only a small portion' of Portage township le this county. At best, it is an outrage of the wishes of a majority of the people in at least two—perhaps three of the counties affected by it. It was pro jected. by certain speculators in and aronmi Shippen, who hope thus to make up their failure to secure the location of the railroad machine shops there. Thorn is a very small population in the territory set off, who will find it eztretuely burden some to meet the heavy axes they have ;incurred. Sunbury - S‘ Erie R. R. BM Pew feated, TlAnn!snurto, Friday March 30,1860. —The Senate bill for the relief Of the S. E: R. it. was negatived in the house to-day, on the question of its final pass age. LATEIL-A Committee of Conference to'whom the bill was referred afterwards, reported it back so amended as to post pone all forclosure claims, the sale of the road, and other embarrr a~ ii Pty Ist of May, 1861, and appiopriating $600,000, to satisfy er-ditora, claimants for labor, material,,te. The report, was adopted by both Houses. The Legislature was to have adjmn. ed on Tuesday, but as the appropriation bill had not passed the House vet, an ex tra session will hare to be held. air The President has written an ar gument to the House against its right to inquire into the manner in which he spends the public funds at election times. lie declares "before God and my coun try" that he is not guilty of such a thing as corruption in all his ; and in the same breath almost.. declares that Congress has no right to attempt to die= prove the assertion.. Infused' with the spirit of his southein masters, he calls it presumption for The Representatives of the potpie to- institute an inquiry into the manner in which they are served by the eiceoutiye department of their gov ernment; denies the right of inquisition without impeachment ; and virtually pro claims that the President is above im peaolundnt, by ordinary process—for im peachment must be based upon actual in vestigation, and he denounces the right of pFeliminary investigation. What his party friends think of his list special plea in behalf of absolution from investigation, may be inferred from the . following editorial (entire) on the subject,-in the New ycr k Leader, a dem ocratic paper. /40ur sincere respect for tho office of President of the 'Jolted States, compels us to avoid any comment on the Plea of Abatement sent to the House of Itepre sentatives last Thursday by the present tenant - of the White House.

I will not undertake to give yod a minute description, fur I was so dis gusted with the whole affair that I do nut feel in a humor to say much about it. Tho reception lasted for two hours—from 8 to 10—and during that, time Mr. Bu chanan stood by one of the doors leading to the.east room shaking hands with his visitors. This two hours shake must be tiresome indeed to the venerable old man who looked not too vigorous. Immedi ately behind the President steed the mis t tress of the White House, ,niece, Miss Lane, who modestly went through ithe irksome task of receiving visitors.— Miss Lane is not handsome by Any means, but her position brings her hun dreds of flatterers.

Now, a teacher of bad character should not be hired at all; for wlib would not prefer that 'his child should stay at home, thad that he . should be brought under the baneful influence of the profane, the Sabbath-breaking, the licentious, the ill bred the ill-tempered teacher. -This ;be ing , definitely settled, we say, pay -ithe teacher according to the qualification.— Paylthe person ivlio holds and deserves a good certificate and a good reputation for teaching higher wages than one of poor qualifications.
