JOHN mitchell, TAG IRIsH PArRIoT.-We
have before stated that John Mitchell was
treated to large procession and demonstrs-
ton at Brooklyn, New York, last week
In company with Meagher and other Of the
Irish patriots, Mitchell was first escorted to
the City Hall, where he was warmly receiy-
ed by the mayor. He afterwards proceeded
to the steps OF the hall, where he addressed
powerful and eloquent speech to the thou
sands gathered to do him honor. The fol-
lowing paragraph of the speech may be in
teresting from its alusion to the future
course of Mitchell, and showing that he is,
like Meagher, determined not to be drawn
into the arena Of the various factions:
"The able editor OF most influential N /.
York journal, speaking Of the probability
Of my publishing newspaper in America,
seems to imagine that there is new game
cock coming dressed & spurred 10 the arena
of American faction, and he has even made

he says, against certain abbes or priests or
bishops, whom he names, and, on the whole,
seems to expect good sport. Laughter -
He will pit mel But will not come to the

6rThe New York Sun (neutraD in al
article on the Presidency, makes the follow
ing well-timed remark:
"Of one folly the Presidency Of Franklid
Pierce will, we believe, cure the American
people-tbe folly of passing by eminen,
statesmen who have rendered valuable se-.
vices to the country, and bestowing the
highest honors in the Republic upon com.
ParatiVely obscure politicians Of third Of
fourth rate abilities. The wcightest re.
sponsibilities Of Government ought not to
be entrusted to such men. Should we con.
tinue to make the Presidency of the Unite
States sort Of Lottery Prize, for which pol.
iticians of all grades might gamble with
equal chances Of success, and which the
most unfit might win the Republic mus
very soon lose its character and forfeit the
esteem which constitutes the moral force o
a natiou,'

TEACHING. follow nV article on thi,
subject was read by Miss Clifford before the
Teachers Association Of the Lancaster I'm.
ion School, and published at the request Of
the Association:--
TeGching.-In this day of general improve.
ment much has been written and more has
been said on this important subject, and TO
which propose adding few Thoughts; not.
wiihstanding my insuficiency 10 do any
thing like iustict to it. But in compliance
with the suggestion made a short time since
BY our much respected Superintendent, |
present them toyou hoping thereby to open
the way for my tuperiors.
Teaching is atrade or profession, and not
unlike all others, IL requires much labor. both
mental and physical; in addition to which
there are number Of accomplishments.
which the Teacher must be in possession Of,
II he would be sbeeessfnl. Without pos
eessing courage. patience, kindn sss, decis-
ion and energy in q Certain degree, be can.
not meet the claims of his profession, do
justice to his scholars or meet the approba-
tion Of his employers.
He may be able to solve al the prob lens
10 mathematics, and may ascend the starry
regions, tell the order and magnitude of all
the planets with precision; he may analyze
with minuteness all the various planets and
flowers which every where attract the prom
e nader In his course; but unless he has in
his possession all these accomplishments to-
gether, with many others equally essential,
and cultvates them, he certainly has cho-
sen the wrong profession. Consequently
he will not or cannot be successful.
These graces are essential, and are calcu-
lated to render him extensively useful in his
sphere, and prepare him to meet with dig
nifty and composure all the trials connected
with his profession, and will brig him up
above surrounding discOuragements. The
teacher therefore. who having carefully
studied his profession, being armed and e.
quPPed withsevery good word and work, Ia
boring in every possible way to promote the
interest Of those committed to his care,
counting all things loss for the excellency
OF his profession, is sure ofsuccess.
Hesis happy n the pursuit of his calling,
being himself interested, all under his in
struction are interested. And why should
he not be happyl Having in his possession
every facility Of happiness, together with
the appreciation Of those with whom he is
surrounded, he cannot be otherwise.
And if perchance he may not receive q
sufficient mount of this worlds goods to
render him free and comfortable in life, he
can enjoy the pleasure off good conscience,
with the assurance that his labor is not al
together in vain, and may in his last mo-
ments say,"I have fought good fight, fin
ished my course Of teaching with some de-
gree of credit" and can leave his field of Ia
Dor with the unspeakable treasure Of good
conscience.
