of our most important statutes was de- •
eared Unconstitutional:
From 1780 to 1847, a period of sixty
seven years,' Pennsylvania, herself a free
• State,. permitted the 'citizens of other
States to sojourn within her limits with
_ their . - slaves, for any period not exceed
ing six months, and to pass through
. the
State, in travelling from one State to an
other, free: from all molestation.: Was she
injitted or was the cause of human free-
Actin retarded, by the friendly grant of
this privilege 1 1 This question cannot be
'truthfully answered in the affirmative;
but may be safely averred; that by °bane.
neg• Oar policirin this respect; we have in

1 Whether tinder this, or soy
‘ uther power
conferred by- the Constitution, Congress
can Prdhibit or protect slavery in the
Territories, has been seriously . questioned.
Bilt,lf the power to legislate upon this
delicate and important subject were elpar:
ly .vested in Cutgress, - in my judgment
it. ought not to be- exercised. To declare
that slavery shall not exist ip the Terri
tories, is calculated to exclude from their
occupancy the citizens: of 'the. Southern
or sluveholding States; while, - to make it i
a legal institution in all the. Territories of ,
the United: States, by Congressional en-1
actinent, and to provide:for its continu-
enee during their entire Territorial exist
twee, would- be equally injurious to the. ;
people of the free States._ The principle'
adopted - ill' the Compromise measures of
1850, for dispdsing of.the question of
slavery in New Mexico and Utah, and
reiterated in the Kansas and Nebraska
till's of 1854, of nonintervention by Con
gress with slavery in the States and in
the - Territories, is the true rule. It is the
duty of Congress, when a sufficient num;
tier of hardy and adventurous pioneers
find' their way into - our distant Territo
ries, to furnish them a shield of protcc- .
Lion and a form of government; but to
the people themselves belorigs. the right
to regulate their own domestic instltu•
:ions in their own way, subject only to
the Constitution of the United States.
While these views have been long en
tertained by me, and while I am sincere
ly of the opinion thatetheir general Ali
tion, and faithful enforcement, would have
I preserved, and may yet restore, peace and
harmony to all ecctions of our country, I
lam nevertheless not So wedded to them
!as to reject, unceremoniously, all other
!propositions' for the settlement of the
I vexed questions which now threaten to
sunder the bonds which for three.quarters
, of a century have made us one people.
IForty years ago, our fathers settled an
!angry controversy. .growing out of a simi-,
!lar question, by dividing the territories
purchased from France, and providing
!that slavery, or involuntary servitude,
should not exist north of a certain line ;
and the whole mimicry acquiesced in that
compromise. In 1854, that restriction
lupon slavery was removed, and the peo
ple of all the Territories were left free to
!dee tle the question for themselves. 'Now
Ithe sectional issue is again presented. by
line dominant party in the North, c!aini
lue• that slavery cannot legally go into
the' Territories, even if sanctioned by Con
; gress, or the Territorial Legislature; and
that it is the right and duty. of Congress
I to prohibit its existence.; while the doc
trine which obtaies with a majority of
the people. in most of the Southern States
is that, under- the Constitution, the Ter
iritories urc. , all . open to slavery ; thatnei
; ther Cotgreis nor .the Territorial Legis-
Ilature car') lawfully prohibit its existence,
and that it is the duty of Congress to pro-
Lvide for it elltneedful protection.
May we not wisely follow the example
of our fathers, by re-enacting the old coin
promise line of 1820, and extending it to
the boandary of California? Not by
means of legislation of doubtful constitu
tionality, but by an .amendment to the
Constitutioli itself, and thus, permanently
fix the condition of the. Territories, so that
khose who desire to occupy them .may
find a home, at their discretion, eithtr
lwhere slavery is tolerated, or where it is
prohibited. If the adoption of such an
amendineet would peacefully settle the
;difficulties which now surround us, I am
;satisfied that it . wt maid be sat ctioned by
Ithe people of Pennsylvania. :tall events,
thev'should have an opportunity to accept
!or reject it, if made as a neace-offe.ing.
I would. therefore, recommend the Gen
eral• A ssembly to instruct and request our
! Senators and Representatives in Congress
Ito support a proposition for such an
amendment of the Constitution, to be sub
mitted for ratification or rejection, to a
convention of delegates, elected directly
• by the people of the State.
!In the, event of the failure of Congress
speedilyp to propose this or a similar
!amendment, to the Constitution, the citi
zens of Pennsylvania should have an op
portunity, by the application' of some
peaceable remedy, to prevent the dismeui
! berment of this Union. This can only
be done by Calling a convention of dele
gates, to be elected-by. the people, with a
view solely to the consitieration of what
measures should be taken to meet the
Ipresent fearful exigencies. If Congress
should propose no remedy; let it emanate
from the source of all authority, the peo
ple theinseives.
lEveryattempt, upon the part of indi
, viduals, or of organized societies, to lead
the people away from their allegiance to
the Government, tet induce them to violate
any of the provisions of the Jonstitution,
lor to incite insurrections in any of the
States of thisjinion, ought to be prohib
ited' by . law, a's .eritnes of a treasonable
nature. It is of the• first importance to

,MR. EDITOR P erm i t m e 'to says fete
words through your columns, to the
friends of education in this county;_on
the subjp.. - 3., or visiting schcols : A great
deal has beensaid and written on the ne
cessity of school visitation, by parents,
Directors and teachers, all of which
no doubt, excellent advice; and ought to ,
be generally adopted. I wish, however,
to call attention to the manner of making
these visits. Miny persons, on visiting
a'school, seem to forget that a school cam
not ba a successful one unless the author.
ity of the teacher is n3aintained, good or
der preserved, and the undivided atten
tion of all the pupils secured.,''.On enter.
log the room they commence a,noisy tams
versation with the teacher on some subf
ject not even remotely connected with
the business of the 56001, and this con
versation
is kept up until the duties of
the school compel the teacher to break it
off. Then they. walk heavily across the
room to a seat'. Here, if more than one'
is present, a whispering conversation
carried on about the • schwa house, the.
furniture, the recitations or perhaps gos
siping, and political discussion' is intro
duced. Sometimes visitors go so far as
to select some pupil with whom they are .
acquainted, and whisper to him about his
studies, how he enjoys attending school,
&c., and soon tl:e attention of the whole
school is drawn Upon them. However
beneficial visits-may be when properly
conducted, such will always produce mote
injury than benefit to' the school favored .
with them. Good order is orthe first im
portance in school, and every visitor who.
needlessly dis'urbs the quiet of study, or
the routine Of 'recitation, is thereby re
tarding ita progress. Parents no doubt.
wish their children to imitate their
vir
'tucs, and while they are visiting at school„
their conduct should be such as might
properly be imitated by every pupil. I
have had the pleasure - of visiting several:
schools in company of Directors, and have- -
not always been able to - commend their
deportment. I was also present in sev
eral instances, while the former County-
Superintendent was making his official - 1 ,
iospectico, and sometimes even thought.,
him open to objection in this respect.. -
.Concerning the present incumbent I am •
unable to speak, hope he may fiedt
my remarks worthy of his attention. My'
idea of the manner of Visiting a school is •
as follows : .
Ist. After a friendly salutation tiPthe •
teacher; take the seat offered you at once•
and- -without .noise; then be a quiet tat
attentive observer of all the exercises...
2nd. If yon wish to make any sagges . -•
Lions- to a class, do it as briefly as post-'
ble, atWays first obtaining : the teachers.
P m ni,ion , and in no ease detaining the•
class
,longer Clan the time allotted fore
recitat'on.
3rd. To sum it till up, let your coo—
duct "n everything be•such as 'trout&
adorn the 'character of a model schadr .
