KENOSHA Co. TEACHERS ASSOCI-
ALTON

According to previous public notice, the
annual meeting of this Association was held
at the Court House, in Kenosha, on We'd
nesday, the 18th inst the Vice President in
the chair. The Secretary proceeded to read
the constitution, after which the following
officers were chosen for the ensuing year:
President-VALOIS BUTLER.
Vice President-EDwIN DARBY.
Secretary. @. Roberts
On motion, Messrs. G. W. Otis and Silas
BranGe, were elected members of the AS
ISOLATION. The motion was then made and
carried, that the constitution be so amended
as to allow any one to become member by
application to the Secretary
On motion, the following gentlemen were
chosen committee to draft resolutions for
this meeting, viz:
Hiram Johnson, Edwin Darby, Valois
Butler.
Meeting then adj ourned to o'clock, D. m.
Two p. M; the President being in the
Chair, the chairman of the committee on re-
solutions offered the following, which after
some discussion were adopted as expressive
of the sentiments of the meeting:
| Whereas, The welfare of our schools
is affected, in great degree, by influences
which are brought to bear upon pupils
| from without; and among those of PERM
cious tendency, and the most demoralizing
of all, is that arising from Intemperancc-
therefore :
Resolved, That we, as Teachers, will
use every means, in our power, to secure
the enactment of law, prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating drinks as beverage,
and that, on all suitable occasions, by pre-
cept and example, both in school and out,
we will endeavor to promul gate principles
of sobriety.
Resolred, That we heartily concur in the
nomination of John G. M'Mynn for State
Superintendent, believing, as we do, that
through his ripe scholarship, practical ac-
! quaintance with teaching, and known cner-
gy of character, the educational interests OF
this State would be better subserved, by his
election than that of any other man to the
same office.
Resolred, That this Association do ear
nestly petition our Legislature to make sui
table provisions for holding Teachers Insti-
tutes throughout our State, as often, at least,
as once every year.
Believing, as we do, that the study of In
tellectual Arithmetic is better calculated to
enlarge and strengthen the action of the
mind, and prepareit for independentthought
and correctreasoning than any otherbranch
taught in our common schools; therefore
ResOired, That we advocate its introduce
ton in every school throughout the country,
and we consider that school deficient in an
important particular, where it is not intro
duced and properly taught.
Whereas, the evils resulting from want Of
aproper uniformity in the text books of oul
district schools, are such as to demand the
attention of every one interested in the in
struction of youth; therefore,
Resolred, That, as teachers, it is our duty
to use all proper means for securing the
much needed reformation in this respect
After some discussion upon general sub
jects, pertaining to the interests of educa-
ton, the meeting then adjourned
VALOIS BUTLER, Chairman.

The American and Austrian Govern

The American and Austrian Govern
ments occupy directly antagonistic positions
in the Kotzsa matter. How thematter can
be got along with, without trouble is excl
ting some speculation. The Milwaukee
Sentinel, thus conjectures in the matter:
But there are thousand meshes in the
web of diplomacy, thro' which anawkward
captive can be allowed to escape, and by
one of these bye-ways we expect to see Kos
eta return to his adopted country. Aus
tria will not ''restore" him; America will
not reclaim him. and France will not deliv-
er him up; but in due time he will disap-
pear from Smyrna and ''turn up" in the
United States, and that will be the end of
the Koszta case.

Tenperanco Meeting.

We arc requested to announce that Mrs.
FONDA, will give an address on Temper
once, this (FRIDAY) evening, at the Me
thOdist Church, and tomorrow evening at
the Congregational Church.
Mrs. Fonda has been lectuling in differ
ent portions of this state, AMI we understand
she has been successful in interesting large
audiences.
PROSPEROUS TIMEs.-The general pros
perity has at length become so high and
broad and deep, as to have reached even
the joumeymen printers. We have been
trying for something like a month past to
get some additional help in our Office, but
without avail as the whole craft appear to
be busy. The consequence is that the ed
tor has been compelled to labor at case in
cessantly, which has prevented him from
getting up the paper in manner to suit
himself, even if others are satisfied. We
are very DESTROYS to furnish our readers an
interesting Shcct-onc which will be worth
to them all it costs, and if theywill bear vet
a week or two with any short comings they
may notice, they shall not thereafter have
any cause of complaint

Hg-Judge Grier, of the Supreme Cour

Gy-Judge Grier, of the Supreme Court,
is attaining an uneviable notoriety for his in
science and brutality, in the case lately be-
fore him, connected with that brutal affair
at Wilkesbarre, which we published week
or two since. Ancxtract which we publish
in another column, will give our readers al
idea of the matter. We once knew this
Judge when he was in the habit of dispu-
ting with swine for the possession of the gut
tcrs, and we don't know but the inhumani-
ty and intolerance he uniformly exhibits,
are the legitimate fruit of these early asso-
Citations.

THE KENosHA TELEGRAPn-1 rensi,is-
cence-The Kenosha Telegraph, an abol-
ition organ, makes itself particularly I'M
happy over the nomination of Mr. Barstow.
Mr. .Sholes neglects, however, to state one
of Mr.. Barstow's chief "delinquencies"
when Secretary of State, and that was in
fayoring Mr.. Sholes as public Printer, by
accepting the printing of the laws of 1851
although delayed beyond the time author
lied by his contract nearly or quite two
months and although the work was done in
such a miserable manner that the then Sec
rotary of State would have been justified in
refusing to accept it. Mr.. Barstow's kind
treatment of Mr.. Sholes then is repaid now
by the most violent abuse There is no
such thing as gratitude in abolitionist.-
MI. 4Neus.
The information in the above article
which is going the rounds of the press, was
doubtless communicated to the Morning
News, by Mr.. Barstow himself 1t deserves
! perhaps, word at our hands 1t is true
the laws were delayed, not however two
months, or one month, or half as long as
they are now delayed it is true too, they
were very badly executed But for the de-
/ lay and the bad work, we were in fault on
j ly in depending on others, that we had rea-
son to suppose were fully competent to all
that was required in the matter But so
/ far as Mr.. Barstow's kindness in this in
stance is concerned, it so happens that he
did not have a particle of authority or dis
erection in the premises. If he had had ev-
er SO much disposition to reject the work
he had not particle of power, for the law
had provided other means and other penal
ties for such delinqucncies. So much for
this marked instance of abolitioningratitude.
Nevertheless, we are quite willing to adj
nit that in both his official and private life,
Mr.. Barstow has always treated us kindly,
and has indeed done us many a special ia
vor, and there are few men, in matters per-
sonal, that we would do more to serve than
him. But this is matter in which the peo-
! pie, not Mr.. Barstow, is the party mainly in
interest The Gubernatorial Office was Gre
/ ated, not for Mr.. Barstow' S benefit, but that
of the people, and though perhaps we might
have chosen more kindly words in which to
express ourself, yet had we allowed our per-
sonal feeling to influence our firm convic-
tons in the premises, we should have been
guilty of an ingratitudc to the whole state,
much worse offence IT, an we are now char
ged with. Mr.. Barstow is a man of warm
sympathies and kindly heart, but it cannot
be denied that he is All ultra representative
of that fanatical spirit of partisanship, which
has already almost ruined the state to ben
eft and crafty individuals and factions, and
which in his success, would receive new
strength for mischief and new impetus in
ill-doing.

Gs Geo. M. DEWEY, is lecturing through
the state on temperance. In one of his lee
lures he made a charge against Mr.. Bars
tow of drinking and drunkenness. For this
he has been violently abused by many of
the democratic papers of the state, which
deny the charge. To this denial, Dewey
responds as follows:
1T is true that | charged "Ion. William
A. Barstow with being the Rum Candidate
of the Rum party" and to this charge
fully adhere, and assert without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that the said Barstow is
drinking demagogue-that, as witnessed
by a respectable man; he drank three times
arittin one hour at the bar of rum saloon
on Wednesday evening last, and that
whether he drank twice or not every time
the clock struck between Milwaukee and
Chicago,i it is true that he is VIGOROUSLY ad
dicted to the frequent use of strong drinks.
II Is also true that said Barstoc IS pltdged
to reto tie Maine Liquor Lar IN tile evem Of
lbs election, and he dare not deny It. 1t is
also proved by the admission of the party
who accompanied Mr.. Barstow to Chicago
and back to Kenosha, that [ used no mis-
representation in relation to that charge
also by the statement of a third party, who
was present and heard the conversation
between the gentleman referred to and my
self
In publishing the above, we must say in
our acquaintance with Barstow, we never
saw any thing that would lead us to sup
pose him to be an Incorporate man.

Democracy in this city have about come to
the conclusion thatour interests demand and
require the nomination and election of full
blooded, bunker democrats, TO the Senate
and House, this fall, and propose accor-
dinglyto make suchnominations. Ofcourse
these men have full liberty in this matter to
do as they please. We do not object to it.
All we ask or expect is, that under such
circumstances they will not demand that
members of other parties shall support their
nominees on other questions and issues.
Members of other parties probably feel as
much interest in our local questions as this
peculiar democracy. and are willing to do
as much for what they conceive to be their
interest, but perhaps will not be disposed
to sacrifice every thing, at this dictation.
But we are probably borrowing unneeessa-
nv trouble. Doubtless if our democratic
friends make an exclusive nomination, they
expect it to be supported as such, and ask
no favors of members of other parties. Let
the opponents then to the domination of this
peculiar party, be prepared to act promptly.

n. York and Buffalo markets exhibited

had suffered slight decline. Whatever
may be the result of the war question, the
ascertained deficiency of crops in Europe,
leads toa confident belief that the extent of
the demand upon this country for bread
stuffs, will prevent any serious or long-con-
tinued depression of prices. The high and
advancing rates of freight between here and
Buffalo and Buffalo and New, York, are the
main causes of the late decline of prices for
wheat and other grains.
