Spiritual and temporal Power.

We maintain the superiority of the spir-
itual over the temporal order. We main
tain that the temporal ruler is bound to con
form his enactments to the divine law. We
maintain that the Church is the supreme
Judge of all questions concerning faith and
morals, and that in the determination of
such questions, the Roman pontiff, as Vicar
of Jesus Christ constitutes tribunal from
which there IS no appeal, and to whose
award all the children Of the Church must
yield Obedience.-PdsiordL Letters Of the
ArchJishop and Bishops ofHe Propince Of

Compliment to Lieut.. Gov. myers.

On retiring from the post as President Of
the Senate by Mr.. Myers, Mr.. Brown offered
the following resolution:
"Resolged, That the Hon. James Myers,
late Lieutenant Governor of this State, has,
by the impartiality, dignity and ability, with
which he has presided over the deliberations
of this body, commanded our confidence and
esteem, and that he carries with him in his
our best wishes for his happiness
and prosperity"
This resolution was unanimously adopted.
Lieutenant Governor Myers responded brief
ly as follows:
GENTLEMEN SENATORS: The resolution
you have just passed is quite unexpected to
me. return to you my unfeigned thanks
for your expression of appreciation of my of
fetal acts during the short time that 1 have
had the honor and pleasure to preside over
your deliberations. We are now about to
separate; you to remain here in the dis
charge of your arduous and responsible du-
ties of Senators; to return to the private
walks of life, which [ can assure you l do
without a single regret. l have seen enough
of public life to satisfy me that its paths, if
pursued with fidelity to the public interests,
are not strewed with either flowers or gold.
Gentlemen, with sincere wish for your
health while here, and safe return to your
homes and families, and to each of you a
long, prosperous, and happy life, 1 bid you
farewell

w aSulugJOn, JAN q.
Senator Douglas, in letter dated at
Cleveland, says he cannot fix any time when
he will be here. He has had an operation
performed on his throat, which has caused
him much delay.
Amid conflicting statements, information
from an authentic source warrant the asser-
ton, that so far from a special message rela-
tive to our foreign affairs being about to be
sent to either branch of Congress, it has
not been contemplated; much less the
subject of cabinet consultation though the
Government has demanded the recall of Mr..
Champion and the British Consul engaged
in recruiting for the Crimea.
1t can as confidently be stated that there
has been no purpose, in or out of the Cabi-
net, to withdraw Mr.. Buchanan from Eng
land unless at his own request. Negotia-
ton between Great Britain and the United
States still open, dispatches having been
sent by the last steamer, and nothing has
occurred since the Transmission of the Pres
ident's massage to Congress to change the
aspect of our relations abroad.
Mr.. Boyce'sresolution offered in the House
to-day, declaring our relation with Great
Britain to be of the most serious character,
and indicating that we may be on the eve
of startling events, was not as supposed,
with the consent or knowledge of
the Executive, but was Mr.. Boyce's inde-
pendent proposition.

A correspondent the Times telegraphs

from authentic sources that the long talked

and France has been formally eonsumated,

We are informed by the Chairman of the
Convention that he scratched his name from
the proceedings, and would not allow it to
be published as Secretary. And yet when
he publishes the proceedings of that meet

sas-Nebraska bill and the present Admins

up his pen against them. Truly, he IS
courageous. Wonder if he is not trying to

THE TEACHER.


Who is the teacher, and what are his
duties, are two questions worth answering;
and before deciding upon the duties of any
class of persons, we should always ask, of how
great importance is their work, and Just
in proportion to the ends to be accomplished,
so are the responsibilities resting upon them.
If beautiful and costly mansion is to be
erected, We feel it much more necessary
that we employ an experienced and skillful
workman than if we build one of less value.
Let us ask now on what work does the teach
er enter' Does he labor upon the blocks
for some monumental pile, or with ehisel
and mallet carve the cold marble to deck
the beautiful mansion, or form the lifeless
statue9 We answerno, his work is upon
''the building not made with hands" and
should he be instrumental in marring its
beauty, let him know that he will be
called to strict account by the Great Mas
ter Builder How often is the true philan-
thropist panied to see those entering upon
the sacred duties of the teacher without
scarcely any preparation for such an import
ant work; and what is still worse, they man
ifest little or no disposition for improvement.
We were very forcibly reminded of this
fact on attending the Sandusky County
Teachers Association, where we met about
One-eighth of the one hundred and twenty
teachars employed in the county.
Now, we believe it to be the duty of ey-
cry teacher to become member of the
Teachers Association if there be one organ
lied in the county where he is laboring and
also to attend them. But we often hear
them making objections like this: Ny sal
ary is so small l cannot afford to 90. We
admit that this seems quite plausable at
first, but We believe that when we come to
sift it we shall find it all chaf.
The Teachers Association, in this county,
meets on the second Saturday of each month
at halfp one o'clock, day on which
teachers are not required to work We
would now ask why teachers are allowed
from two to six days every month, while
persons engaged in other occupations are
required to work! Is it that they may sit
down and idle away their time! We think
not.
The very reason why teachers are required
to labor only about four-iths as many days
for month as Others, is, that they may
have some time for Improvement.
These days are given both by custom
and law for this purpose, and We believe
chat the law ought to require them to be
spent in this way; also that it would be
just and right that it be the duty of the
county Examiners to require each teacher
to become member of the County Associa-
ton before granting certificate, and that
they be required by law to attend, or lose
the wages of one day for each time they
were absent. 1t is true, that the wages Of
teachers arc generally rather low, but if they
wish larger salaries, we know of no surer
way to obtain them, than to make them
selves better teachers, and one, or even two
dollars spent in this way each month, viii,
if he or she wishes to improve, return four
fold and all who do not desire improve
ment, are unworthy Of the high appellation
of Teacher. G.S.

TERRBLE The other day, one of Rich
ardson'ssupporters, Mr.. Shorter, of Alabama,
concluded a most indecent assault on Mr..
Banks and Massachusetts,, as follows:
81 say | do not believe, under the Con-
stitution, and the true theory of our Gov
ernment, that the State of Massachusetts
to-day belongs to the Union. And take
this occasion to say further, that when this
House is organized, if it ever should be, l
intend, if no one else does it, to introduce a
to the effect that no gentleman,
sustaining the position of the gentleman
from Massachusetts, and no representative
from that State, is entitledto hold a seat up
on this floor"

Remarks.-The article quoted above
came to US through the Post Office. The
writer is probably rumseller, and IS per
sonally, (for aught we know) responsible
for the poverty, wretchedness and crime in
our midst. He has been the sole and only
cause ofthat husband, brother or son becom-
ing besotted, idiotic and bloated drunkard
and, he would, for the sake of adding three
cents more TO his illgotten gains, give to his
victim the 'dark beverage of hell, and there
| by take the bread from the very mouths Of
his family. A proper person, truly, to ac-
cuse us of being aa villain! His soul is
blackened with sins, and we doubt whether
place could be found in which he night
repent, though he should seek it carefully
and with tears. His garments drip with the
blood of his victims. Blood is upon every
thing he possesses, and in eternity his keen
est anguish will be caused by the sight Of
those he forced to go with him down to a
drunkard's hell.
What, we ask him, do we care for such
threats as he makes. Let him withdraw his
patronage and bestow it where, and on whom
he pleases. We will make no compromise
with Alcohol, with its makers or venders.
A few pieces of silver viii not cause us to
keep silent while young men and boys in our
midst, are being made drunkards, and the
Ipeaco of the family circle destroyed forever.
The columns of the Journal will, as it al
ways has, speak against the iniquity of the
rumseller's traffic. On this point our 'sub-
lscriber" will ever find us his enemy, and we
hope to live to see it a penitentiary offence
to sell liquor to a man and make him drunk,
be the vendor who he may. Can our Sub
scriber," understand by this?
In regard to our Subscribers" postscript,
we have no knowledge that Judge Otis ever
denied what We said, and we rather think
he will not.
1t is a shame and disgrace to the citizens
of Fremont that our town should be cursed
with liquor shops to such number There
cannot be less than THIRTY places where
liquor can be bought by the glass in our vii
lage, and there is not day passes but
drunken men are seen in the streets. 1t is
but few evenings since, that a company Of
Toys less than fifteen gears Of age, 0ere
DRUNK! Who made them so? Proba-
bly, the man { p who wrote the above com
munication had a hand in it. A few weeks
since we announced the drowning of JOHN
LEARY, and to this day his body is undis-
covered Was not JOIN LEARY murdered !
Who was it that plunged him beneath the
waters, and made his wife a widow and his
six children fatherless? Who? 1t was the
rumseller. Was it our Subscriber! Would
to God the rumseller would abandon his
present evil course and strive TO lead men
in the way of temperance, virtue and truth.
