A Fizzle Compromise at Cresson- =
Foster Dodging.

Mr.. Foster, the patent democratic NOM
inee for Governor, is becoming somewhat
noted as a dodger, his latest performance
in that line having taken place at Cresson
last week. 1t appears he attended there
for the purpose of aiding the democrat
ic' State Committee to bolster up peace
between the true democracy and the sec
tional disorganizers, and the committee
having got into mud hole, "a committee
of three was appointed to invite Gen Fos-
ter to be present" Some time having
elapsed, we find in the published proceed
ings the following:
" Mr.. Carrigan, on behalf of the commit
tee which had been appointed to wait on Gen.
Foster, said they had hunted for him in the
hotel and adjoining woods, but could not find
him"
As we find no subsequent mention of the
hiding candidate for Governor, the pre-
sumption Is fair that he ran away, or hid
in the woods or under a bed
After an arduous sitting, and all kinds
Of propositions, the committee finally
agreed to recommend the voters to head
their respective tickets with Douglas or
Breckenridge, as their preferences might
be; but as the members on the Electoral
ticket in great part had refused to pledge
themselves to any compromise, this recon-
mendation amounts to nothing at all. The

A Word to those who propose Teaching
in Mlfflin County.

In the June No. of the Pennsylvania School
Journal, the State Superintendent calls the
attention of County Superintendents and
Teachers to the fact, that originally the Pro
visiOnal Certificate was not contemplated :;
that its adoption arose from the deficiency of
thoroughly qualified teachers, and that it is
designed TO be done away as soon as possible.
To effect this object, he recommends County
Superintendents to raise the standard of quail
ifcations for which certificate will be grant.
ed, year after year, until only those entitled
to Professional Certificates shall be employed
to teach.
The intention of this recommendation is to
do justice to all parties; to parents by seen
ring to their children continually improving
instruction; to taxpayers by using most iu
diciOusly for the end sought the money thew
contribute for education and to teachers by
stimulating them to acquire that amount Of
learning which will qualify them tn discharge
rightly the responsible duties Of teacher.
Accordingly, shall be under the necessity

quoted the record TO sustain US. Last week
the Democrat admitted that he did 50. but
then brings in the apology that Mr.. B. final

care little for reservations in case ike this
we say still, and the record will sustain us,
that Mr.. Bell deliberately voted to repeal the
Missouri Compromise Act-an act which Hen

upheld, and which to the day of his death he
considered as Of vital Importance to the we'll
fare Of his country. That he was right the

last, and from a large pile of good rails select
ed panel to compose fence around the
peoples interest.
The denomination of Judge HALE for
Congress was made by acclamation, thus

that no one else was spoken of for that
position in this county If tariff men are
but true to themselves and their interests,
his reelection may be regarded as certain
by large majority.
For the Legislature, ADoLPHUs f. Glib
BoNEY of Union township received the
nomination. He is young man of more
than ordinary talents, Of industrious and
temperate habits, and distinguished for
tirmness of character-traits which emf
nently fit him for a seat in body where
so much evil can be done to taxpayers by
one lacking those essentials, who almost
necessarily falls into the hands of profes-
siOnal borers who mould him to suit their
own purposes and ends. He is also an un-
finching tariff man, who will never vote
against such tariff resolutions as Mr.. Bates
did last winter for fear Of offending James

tingency, enure to the advantage OF brecken,
ridge, thousands of the Douglas men VIII
stay at home on election day, or else vote Tor
Lincoln. If. on the other hand, such COM
promise is effected as admits the regularity
of Douglas, and looks to his exclusive bene-
fit, then thousands of the Breckenridge Dem
oerats will sullenly refuse to vote. 1t dl-
yided front is shown, of course defeat IS IN
evitable. Either way makes Lincoln's " elec'
ton sure in Pennsylvania. These views
will explain our meaning, when we declare
that, however important the result OF the
Democratic State Committees deliberations,
at Cresson, might have been at one time, they
are quite of secondary consequence now.
Practically, the Presidential question was
settled at Syracuse on Wednesday last. New
York was the only State where the opposition
to Lincoln had shadow of chance to con-
centrate in a way to ensure his defeat. That
chance was thrown away, when the dele,
gates to the Breckenridge Convention placed
their distinct Electoral Ticket In the held.
If they adhere to their resolutions, and the
character Of the men who controlled 1t, and
the spirit which prevaded the proceedings,
indicate that they WILL nothing remains but
but to 20 through the mere forms of an elec-
ton in November; for no future event can
be more certain, under present circumstan-
ces, than that Lincoln will be the next Pres
ident of the United States"
