party here were TO be found the real bitter and
prosecuting cncmes Of Mr.. Douglas. They
called him atraitor,'' ssdisorganizer' and
ssrenegade," and threatened 10 sscrush him out''
of the Democratic party. They charged him
with "heresy,n and clamored for his excommu-
nication for daring to differ from the President
ON the Lecompton question Among those who
were thus clamorous, We would name 5. Ii.
Tate, Esq, present Prothonotary. Mr. Tate,
it is we'll known, has always been an office
seeker, even from the time when the memory
runueth not to the contrary, and always defeat
ed. He made loud threats, and damned the
party publicly on the streets, was himself look
ed upon with suspicion, and his orthodoxy
doubted but as soon as he was elected, he de-
termined to change his course, and uphold his
party in everything, no matter how abominable,
and consequently he was for sscrushing out" all
his party friends who differed with the Presi-
dent, on his outrageous Kansas policy, and en-
deavoriEg to place them in the same suspected
position which he himself previously occupied !.
Now that he has done all the harm he can for
Douglas, aud after he has triumphed over the
admin istration, and all such as Tate, we are
told that he now says that she was always op-
posed to Buchanan and in favor of Douglas 7"
Can doughfaceism and dupicity 60 farther -
Shame! Mr.. Shannon, also, was one of the
loudest- mouthed in abusing Douglas; and Mey-
ers of the Gazette, who is now only Locofoco
on account of his pocket, which is clearly
shown by his belonging to as many as four diff
ferent parties before he was twenty-five years
old! Both of these last we're for sscrushing
out" Douglas Many others of the "small
fry" were also for "crushing out. They have
failed to sscrush him'' out, and they will all
now be sscrushed" into his support in 1860!
They will then bespatter him with their tut-
some praise as they have hetofore bespattered
him with their abuse In connection, we
might even state that the present z. NJ. in
this place, John Mowry, Esq, was as loud in
his condemnation Of Douglas ary of them,
but since his election, even he repudiates poor
old Mr.. Buchanan, and says that he isfor Doug
las for next President, Hereafter we may ex-
pcct them to eat all their words against Doug
las, as they have eaten dirt iu favor of Bush-
anan+

Mr.. EDITOR: me TO make known,
throuah the columns of your paper, a ridfto-
lous resolution, passed by The Board Of School
Directors of Bedford Township, prohibiting fe-
males from acting in he capacity of teachers
In said township. Surely 'tis only in Bedford
Township, for who would not desire that such
a heatheniAh idea be excluded from all other
townships, aud also from the minds Of intelli-
gent men here and elsewhere. would ask our
worthy Directors The validity of decision
which deserves the commiseration and contempt
of an enlightened community, aud, we can but
think, the dIsapprobation Of their own better
Judgment Can they think that educated fe-
males would exert ar evil influence as teachers,
or corrupt the morals of their pupilsl If so,
how very different from many good aud great
men, who attributed all they were and have
been, to the early training of pinus mother.
Then, too, our State Superintendent advises
that females be encouraged in fitting them
selves for teachers, and recommends them as
exerting beneficial influence in our schools.
But perhaps he is incapable of giving advice
Would that some others than the trainers of
such resolution, might test his Abilities
Great men, truly! (6t promoters of the cause
of education,) and possessing greater mothers,
wives or daughters if their influence has been
such as to inculcate the thought that females
we're untitled 10 aid the youthful mind in the
aequisltion of knowledge. What think you
Does our worthy Superintendent countenance
such proceedings? Not likely. We would
think of him as man, seorning such debasing
unmeritorous schemes. IT'S the mind that
makes the man, and are we to suppose that fe
males have no intellect to be cultivated 2 Alas
what an We are vergng upon. In speak
ing of education, we do not mean simply wri-
ting good band, and thus being smuggled in
to office, but thorough cultivation of the
mental powers, an elevation of thought and
soul which raises man above dupticity, by
which the uneducated are at times led astray
And should not like privilege be granted to
ladies I! Why deprive them of one real pleas
ure, good education, and the means Of doing
good to others!

WILL MIR. SCHELL RESIGN z

VIM. P. Schell's party is beaten in this dis
trict by over 1900 majority The people of
this district have emphaticaily declared that
they do not desire his services at Harrisburg.
Will Mr.. Schell, Notwithstanding the repudia-
ton of him and his party, by bis fellow citi-
zens of the 18th district, have the impudence
tn go to Harrisburg and claim a SCAT 10 the
Senate, this winter, vs their Senator, under
such circumstances Would not any man,
who has any respect for himself, at once quiet
ly resign! That appears, Mr.. Editor, to be
the general wish Of our friends throughout the
district. His election cams off at very un-
lucky time, and with a great many false
promises. He and his friends promised the
people in case Of bis election, that they should
have railroad to Bedford very soon; n fact,
any person, to have heard some Of their speech
es, would have thought that the iroH bull
would have been belching and believing up to
Bedford long before this tine. Mr. Sehell
knows that the people have been very grossly
deceived in this matter, and that if he had
been a candidate for re-clectiou, this fall, he
would have been beaten by not less that 1900
majority. So that if be takes his seat at
Harrisburg this winter, he will not carry opt
the wishes of large majority of his fellow
citizens. We say again, under such circum-
stances, would not any man who has any re-
spect for himself, at once quietly resign

Epitaph on j. Glancey Jones.

Clancy Jones, of old Berks, was Mr.. Bu-
chanan's fugielpan in the House of Repscseu-
tatives, at ITS lastsessioD. On one occasion
he accused member with opposing the Ad-
mInistration bccause Dir. Buchanan bad no, 10
vi;ed him to dine at The White House. This
first called attention to he fact that 20 former
President had refused the clvilities of the White
House to lnernbers opposed to bin IN politics.
Immediately after the defeat OF Jones, at the
late election, Col. Forusy published the follow
ing epitsph
In England OF olGlt Was ever the rnlo
That the King kept his butler and also his fools
But In model Republics one man viii suffice
To be the Court fool, and the bottles to ice.
Tho one who lies here, Bucks marketing did,
Gave cards round TO dinner to those who were bid,
And exulted o'er others, when not asked to dina
On Executive mutton ana Cabinet wine.
This slab, OH last Tuesday placed over his bonas,
Shows the Court fool and butler was named CLANCY
Jones.
Commenting upon Ills epitaph, Prentice
says, "ihe Pennsylvania law against cruelty to
animals should be enforced upon Gel. Forney
aud his Press, or perhaps the late member from
Berks can get out an injunction to restrain the
publication of snch articles as ths ab,ve."

A Damaging Disclosure.

Hon. f. p. Stanton, Secretary of Kansas
under Gov. Walker, in late speech at Law.
renee made the following statement
He (Mr. Stanton) came to Kansas liz 1857
believing it to be the intention of Mr.. Ruchan-
an to deal fairly with the people. Had not
this been his opinion, he would never have ac-
cepted the position of Secretary, nor Walker
that of Governor of the Territory. Justice
demanded the admission that he still believed
the intention of the Administration to have
been good. Its presen; line of policy was an
after thought. Until the month of September
be and Gov. Walker were sustained throughout
BY the Administration. He would mention
one circumstance which was not generally
known, as showing this conolusiveIy
On the 1st of September, General Whitfield
and Dr. Debbs, of Kansas, who were then in

Stanton was acceptable to the people of KAN

who was anxious to shield himself from the
assaults then being made on him by the South.
Through Mr. Buchanan's agency the letter was
sent to the Union office, and was actually in
type, accompanied by editorial comments en-
dorsing the character Of DR.. Tebbs as "a gen.
tleman of unimpeachable veracity,' when il was
seen iu proof by Southern member of the
Cabinet, who ordered its suppression. From,
that day TO THIS the course of the Administra-
tion has been most inscriptions and shame

FAREWELL SERMON.

Rev F. Benedict preached his farewell SER
mon to the people of this place, in the Luther
an Church, on Sunday morning last. The
church was crowded TO its utmost capacity
Mr.. Benedict has been the pastor of the Lu-
theran congregation of this place for period
of nearly ten years, and during that time he
has been, probably, more actively employed
in the duties pertaining to The ministry, than
any other 10 our midst. The Church in this
place, and Parsonage, were both built under
his care, and both have been paid for through
his exertions. He leaves his congregation free
of debt, aud a surplus in the treasury. Be-
tween 800 and 400 we're received into the
church, during his administration, nearly 500
children baptized, and nearly 200 couples
married.
Mr.. Benedct's sermon was delivered IN
solemn and impressive manner, and was recev-
ed By his flock with evident sorrow. He was
beloved by all his members, as we'll as by the
entire community, aud al our citizens regret
his departure. He will be missed more than
any other citizen who has left US for long
time.
He left here on Tuesday morning lasr, for

THE VICToR MoURNER.-The wife of
Hon. Johu Hickman died on Tuesday, the dav
on which her husband was re- elected to Con-
gross. The sudden death of this gifted lady
has created a profound sensation in West
Chester, where she was greatly beloved. We
learn from the Philadelphia Press that she
partook Of her dinner as usual, and retired TO
her chamber to rest, when she was attacked
with hemorrhage of the lungs. She arose
and walked to her husbands library, where ho
was, and died shortly afterwards. Thus, at
the very moment when the people of the Sixth
district were preparing to honor Mr.. Hickman
by reelection. God called from his side the
noble woman who had been his stay and his
comfort for many years past Mrs. Hickman
was lady of great talents and many epdear-
ing qualities. She resembled her glotious hus-
band 10 many respects, and iu nothing more
than in the frmness Of her friendship, the
gentleness of her manners, and the kindness of
her heart His friends can only regret that
she had not lived to see him victorious.

elections held in seven States--lllinois, Mas
sachusetss, Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
Delaware aud Wisconsin. In Illinois there
were three tickets Douglas and anti-Douglas
democrats and republicans In Massachusetts,
there were three tickets. Massachusetts, also
voted for Governor. In Michigan there was
the regular democratic and republican tickets
In New Jersey the matter was mixed up among
Americans, republicans, democrats and anti
Lecoinpten democrats. In New York four
tickets we're before the people for Governor,
but in several of the congressional districts
there was "fusion" against the democrats.-
In Wisconsin the only issue was between the
republicans aad the democrats. Delaware and
Michigan also elected Governor. Tbese elec-
tions determine the political character of the
house in the next Congress.

The last Gazette says that the present free
trade Tariff was passed By the opposition in
1857. This is so false, and has been exposed
so often, that it is scarcely necessary TO notice
the assertion. The opposition had moi the
power to pass that Tariff--they were not able
to elect the Speaker iu the House by majority
of the whole vote--the Senate was largely
Locofoco, and the President is a Locofoco.
Locofocos can't deceive the people in this way.
We want Protective Tariff similar to that of
1912, and we will never hav, good and stable
times till we accomplish if, and build up our
manufactures, create home market, buy less
than wO sell Europe, and keep our gold at
home. We are for protective Tariff, first,
last, aud all the time, and the people through
out the country are pretty generally coming to
the correct view on the subject, as the recent
elections abuudantly prove.
