The CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION. - The
Washington correspondent Of the, Baltimore
Sun, under date Of the 18th, writes:
In the discussions Of the Central American
question BY Mr.. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon
the most friendly intentions were professed
and, probably, were actually entertained, on
both sides. But our position is very awk ward
one, as the matter now stands. Our extreme
demands were positively rejected, and it remains
for ns to present new terms of arrangement
This cannot be done without q mortifyiDg back
out on the part Of our government.
1t is not at all probable that the present ad-
ministration will abandon or modify their inter
probation of the Clay ton Bulwer treaty, and i,
IS well known that they have positively and
from the beginning to the end of the negotia.
ton refused to accept the British Interpretation
Still it may be hoped that the British govern.
ment will adhere to the treaty, according tt
their understanding of it, which will prevent
them from exercising any actual Jurisdiction in
Central America in virtue Of any protectorate
and from taking possession of Greytown--an
act which would practically terminate the
treaty and prevent future negotiation on the
subject. 1r
at the commencement of the negotiations, two
years ago, Mr.. Buchanan, it is said, was in
structed to represent that the present Admins
tration disapproved Of the whole treaty, and the
policy of joint national action on which it was
founded, and that it was the act of a prior Ad-
ministration holding different views but that
still they would adhere to it and carry it out,
upon the condition that the British government
would adopt our Interpretation Of it, and, at
once, abandon their claims to the Bay Islands,
and relinquish the Musquito protectorate Thus
there is no chance for renewal of the negotia-
ton, while the present Administration is in
power, nor while Lord Palmerston, (whose Pc
euliar hobby is this very subject of British pre-
tensions in Central America remains at the
head of the British government Under these
circumstances, the chief burden of the forth
coming Presidents message will probably be
the Monroe doctrine and the means of its prac-
tical assertion. ssg
1t is believed that Com. Pauldipg's instruc.
tions are of o character that will produce q col
lision between his force and that of Admiral
Fanshaw, in case the latter should take posses
sion of Greytown.

INSTITUTES.
To the ScAool Directors and School Teachers o

TO the Sch00( directors and School Teachers of
Bradford County:
THE recent Convention of School Directors of this Coun-
l. ty, adopted n resolution requesting the County Sl-
periniendent to hold, or cause to be held, Teachers Insti-
tutes III the different townships Of the county. In COM
pliance with this resolution, now give notice, that the
necessary arrangements are in progress for holding a Sc
ries of these Teachers Schools. II is not deemed adyisa-
BILE to hold one in each township this fall. In many cases,
not enough would attend to give them interest and utility.
| have accordingly, selected such points for holding the
first series, as has appeared to Inc most suitable for the
different divisions of the county. The places named are
only suggestive. 1t the School Directors of either of these
divisions prefer another, | will cheerfully acquicsce in a
change. The list Is given at the foot of this notice.
These Institutes are intended for Teachers only and
their leading object is to improve teachers in the Art of
Teaching. 1t is expected that the Teachers and Directors
living near the place of holding these Schools, will get
the School House which is to be used, in order, keep it
so, have fuel supplied and make provision for boarding
the Instructor. T.
The incidental expenses of these Institutes, such as the
board of the PIeceptor, fuel, light-for the evenings must
be occupied with LectureS-&c., the Teachers must bear.
The amount to each, will, of course, depend on the num-
Der attending. -Four dollars, will probably, be the out
side expenses of one OF these Institutes. This to be equal
~ borne among the Teachers, be their number twenty or
forty.
Timely notice will be given in the papers. of the com.
mencenent OF each of these Institutes, accompanied by a
programme of the exercises. The first will he held in To-
wanda, early in October, and will be under the direction
OF Professor G. K. COBURN. lu the management Of the
others, the Superintendent viii have the assistance ofable
teachers.
Teachers wishing to attend these Institutes, must report
themselves to the Secretaries OF the School Board of the
township where held, before the 18th day of September
ms oihcers name and address is given in the list below.
| have to request these officers, to report to me the mum.
Der as soon as practicable after the 25th.
School Directors are arneStly requested to give this en-
terprlse all the encouragement and aid they can. These
Institutes can be made useful.

interfere with slavery in States where it now
exists, we believe that the National Govern
ment should be relieved from all connection
with or accountability for it.
Resolved, That the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise was a violation of the national
faith, and an outrage upon the rights of the
free States and that it was the first step of
the conspiracy against freedom, which has found
its appropriate and intended sequel in the law
less attempts of a Missouri mob, instigated by
a conspicuous friend of the National Admins
%tration, and connived at and sanctioned by the
same, to force the curse of slavery upon the
free soil OF Kansas ; and we not only oppose
the extension of slavery over our national terri
tories, but also the admission of any new slave
States in the Union, believing that, as our ma
tional domain is free from slavery, in the alb
sence of any positive law establishing it, we
are justified in making freedom a condition of
their admission into the sisterhoood of States.
Resolved. That we are in favor of the repeal
OF the present Fugitive Slave law, because it
virtually suspends the sacred writ of habeas
corpus, and takes away the right of trial by
jury. w :
Resolved, that the imprisonment, without
trial OF citizens of the free States by the
Federal Judiciary, is a bold invasion of per-
sonal liberty, a violation Of the guaranteed
rights of the States, and an assumption of
federal power that should be resisted deter
mlnedly by every friend of personal freedom.
Resolved, Thatswe cordially invite all who
approve of the principles set forth in the re-
solutions, without regard to former political
associations, to unite and cooperate with us
for the purpose of restoring the administration

Mr.. Mcfarland, of Washington county. Of

Law.
Mr.. Mcfarland proceeded to address the

marks. He finally took his seat, when Mr..

eminent qualifications for an intelligent, no.
nest, and faithful discharge Of the duties of
the responsible position fer which we present
him.

here, he will be nominated next week by the
Wing State Convention. He did not want this
party to be in any manner attached to the dead
carcass of an old party.
Mr.. Howe, of Crawford county, suggested
that there be no nomination now made, and
that the power to nominate be delegated to a
State Committee to be appointed by this Con
%vention. He moved to this effect. With re-

VISITING ScHooLs-It is the duty of
every teacher, as often as he is able, to
visit the schools of his neigh bors, for his
own instruction and encouragement; for
the pleasure, the confidence and the hearty
good will it will, bread in the soul of him
whom he visits, and for the moral and
stimulating effect it will produce upon
the minds of the scholars themselves.
We hold that teacher, as we'll as
every other one engaged in distracting
and laborious profession, needs relaxation
when he shall not attempt to think even
of his school And he also needs con-
versation, and sympathy with those who
are with hin engaged in the same occu-
pation-conversation on his work and all
its connections and nterests-sympathy
in regard to all its trials and respons-

all the modes of reproof and encourage

full to himself and profitable to his
school Such visit and conversation
will DO more to give practical and easily
applied understanding of school keeping
in all its branches and duties, than months
of so itary study with the best books in

Study and observation must by no
