A Card to the Teachers ryiryiuin

=
AFTER consultation with some of the
Oldest teachers Of the State, in reference
10 their proposed Convention, 1 now res
pectfully submit the following plan for
asSertaininy whether such Representa-
ton Of our profession could be obtained
rs to render it expedient for this Convcn-
ton to be held. The plan is this =
that all those teachers who are willing to
attend, will notify me, as soon as possible,
as TO the time and place Of their choice,
for the meeting of this Convention. l
would state, that in conversation with
some Of the Professors Of the University
of.N irginia, it was Unlimited that if the
Convention be held at Charlottesville, du-
ring the vacation, the halls of the Uni
verslty would be rendered as the place
for holding its meetings. Those Of the
Professors with whom 1 conversed, were
heartily enlisted in the movement, and
promised that, whenever and wherever
you should decide to meet, they would
be present and partake in your delibera~
tons.
With such encouragement, and with Il
deep sense Of the importance Of associa-
ted action in the cause of education, |
again venture to propose that Conven-
ton of all the teachers in the State, be-
held either at Charlottesville or Richmond.
or Botetourt Springs. on the Goth or 25 II
day Of August, 1855. And, earnestly
request, that all who are Interested in this

majority, as expressed in their CORES
pondencc, may make an early an.
nouncement of the meeting through the
leading journals OF the State, using their

TIE REVOLUTION IN MEx1Co.-The cap.
ture of Montcry, by the revolutionary
party Of Mexico, has already been chroni-
cled. 1t is said they have full possess
sion Of that memorable "black fort'
which caused the Americans SO much an
noyance during the late war. Guerrero,
Saltillo, Victoria, and various other towns
have also pronounced" A letter from
the Rio Grande, says
" The plan Of Guerrero and the other
places mentioned above embraces the
overthrow Of Santa Anna, such a consti-
tuition as the nation may establish, the
CabaIlos tariff. the abolition on the from
tier OF taxes for Eve years, the free intro
ductlon of provisions, tho abolition of pro-
hIbltlon on the introduction Of cotton
fabrics, the declaration that for SNUG
Cling there shall not be greater penalty
than the loss Of property that alf the
revenue thus obtained shall be expended
in the defense of the frontier sCainst the
Indians, and that this shall continue 10
be thus applied until the DISCRIMINATION
or entire reduction Of this enemy"
Another account states. In addition,
that the city Of Guanaiuatsis in the pos
session Of the insurgents, where they
have captured guns and o.her munitions

PEEHsYLvAN1A.-The tone of all the
Wing and american papers in the interior Of
the State that have yet come to hand, is
adverse to the position on slavery assumed
by the late Know Nothing National Con-
vention. Il is also evident that the Wing
party tOiZ not unite aUith tie american Or
ganization on common State ticket. The
Delaware County Republican, Lancaster
Examiner and Herald, Westchester Vii
lage Record, Norristown Herald, Cham
bersburg Repository, York Republican
and Pittsburg Gazette, all oppose the
Know~NothiDgs, and favor Wing opposi-
ton thereto. The Chambersburg Repos-
itory calls for the Wing Committee of
Franklin county to meet and have a
Wing ticket nominated against the Know
Nothings. It is not yet certain, howev
er, that the American party will take
such course, as will render aseparation
from the Wings necessary. The State
Council will meet on the third of July,
and all appearances go to show that the
platform adopted at Philadelphia will be
rejected. The Pittsburg Commercial
Journal says that every Council of the
Order in Allegheny which has me! since
the platform was promulgated, has repu-
dated it, and appealed to the State
Council. The only proper course is for
the latter body torepudiate the platform,
abandon all secret meetings, and invite
the Wings to make a common ticket with
them. Ifthis be done, the party will
sweep the State and if it be not done, a
crushing defeat will be risked.

as soon as the meeting was organized,
presented the following platform. which,
after having been read, was signed by
the Withdrawing delegates
PLATFORM
To tie People Of ne L6aited States
The undersigned citizens of the various
States, assembled at Philadelphia on this
18th of June. 1855, feel constrained, I'M
der the existing state of affairs, to affirm
the following principles
First. The unconditional restoration Of
that timehonored compromise known as
the Missouri prohibition, which was de-
stroyed in utter disregard of the popular
villa wrong no lapse of time can palll-
ate, and no plea for its continuance can
justify ; and that we viii use all consti-
tutional means to maintain the positive
guarantee of its compact until the object
tor which it was enacted has been con
summarized by the admission of Kansas
and Nebraska as free States.
Second. That the rights of settlers in
Territories, to the free and undisturbed
exercise of the elective franchise quaran-
tied to them by tie laws under which
they are organized should be promptly
protected By the National Executive
whenever violated or threatened; and
that we cannot conscientiouSly act with
those who will not aid us in The correc-
ton of these national wrongs, and will
not even permit their fair consideration
and full discussion.
Third. We further declare our contin-
ucd and una!tcrab!e determination to use
all honorable efforts to secure such a
modification of the naturalization laws,
aided by such elevation Of public senti-
ment as Shall preserve the true interests
of the nation, and shall guaranty the
Ihree vital principles Of republican go>
spiritual freedom and free
Bible enthusiastically promoting the
great work OF AmericNuizing America.
Fourth. That we invoke The arm Of le-
glsIntion to arrest chat CROWN eviI-thc
deportation by foreign authorities OF pau
pcrs and conyicts 10 our shores and
that, as our national constitution requires
'Hc Chief Executive Of our country 10 be
OF native birth, We deem i. equally ne
c"saary and Important that our diploma
nc representatives abroad should also
possess no foreign prcjudices to bias their
judgment or to influence their official
action.

AN AGRICULTURAL PARrY.--Charles
B. Calvert, Esq, one ofthe leading plan
ters Of Maryland, publishes a communi-
cation in the Marlboro Gazette, suggest
ing the formation of an agricultural par
ty. He very pointedly says:
"The agricultural class is the great
conservative party of this country, and,
as body, is more deeply infested in
the pcrpeluation of our glorious Union
than all others. because they are COM
PEELED to defend their own hresdes aud
pay lor the defense Of those of all other
classes"
Mr.. Calvert also refers to some resoIu
tons offered by himself aud adopted at
at a late meeting Of the United States
Agricultural Society, in Washington, to
the effect that:
y convention, to be composed Of del
egates from each States OF the Union, be
earnestly recommended, in order that an
agricultural platform may be established
which will meet the views of and be sus-
tanned by the whole body of agricultural.
lists rs proic sion"
The proposition Of Mr. Calvert for
the formation of an Agricultural Party
will not, it is likely, be received with una
nImlLy, even among agricultursts. 1t
would be too exclusive for a country OF
such diversified interests as ours-though
it is The sturdy and honest yoeman ele-
mcnt of the nation, certainly on which
we may surely rely forever " holding fast
that which is g0cd." -BQH. Sun.

TnE CRoPs OF TENNESSEE. According
to the Jackson, West Tennessee Wing,
the recent rains have greatly assisted the
crops in that region. The corn is much
benefited, and the wheat is very fine.
The Chattanooga, East Tennessee Gas
zette, says:
T" Our section of the country has never
witnessed a finer prospect for every pro-
duction Of the earth than at present.
The wheat crop has never been better
and more abundant The corn crop, also,
promises all that the most extravagant
and avaricious farmers could, desire, and
the cotton fields IRE coming up nobly.
Fruits of all kinds are in abundance
a failure of single instance that we know
off, 3g
In Middle Tennessee the wheat and
rye crops are the heaviest ever known.
The corn crop is in fine condition, the
oats crop looks we'll and the stand Of cots
ton is also represented to be excellent:
Indeed, the prospect everywhere through
out Tennessee is full Of encouragement.
