the most honorable inheritance, which any
people ever possessed let them candidly
state their reasons to an ssobservant world.
This they must do (not to be hooted at ,)and
II the story be truly told, IL will be found
that what can be justly complained Of is al
most nothing; and what there is may be
easily and honoraby remedicd, under the
Constitution as It is."
IF the grievances Of the South werc real
and not imaginary to a great extent then
we might not think 80. But there are no
wrongs that we can suffer under the Con-
stitution that Its provisions will not remedy.
The fact is nov Established too, that all
these declared grievances are but ruse.--
Why do not the border States who, II any.
have cause of complaint, talk o. leaving
the Uniuni IF they were honest In their
complaints then we nigh, arrive alta sstis-
factory compromise of differences and agree
upon some basis OF settlement that for a
time would give quiet, but as it is we can
hope for none. We must demand, and have.
q settlement upon the braad principles of
right, and that done let Us stand by II as by
the Constitution Of our country.

Teachers Institute,

About one year sgo a number OF the
Teachers Of Belmont county, met In St.
Clairsville, and held an Inst ,tute; and those
who spent the week there and participated
in the exercises felt that they were much
better prepared to discharge the numerous
duties which devolve upon those who have
charge Of our Common Schools. But there
wac not near the attendance there should
have been and the attempt hss been made
since with still less success. Il 10 10 now
proposed that during the week between
Christmas and New Yeats, We shall hold
another Institute at Morristown, and ii
must depend upon the Teachers Of this
county whether II shall be a creditable aud
successful one, or whether il shall be a
failure. say that the present Institute
will in great measure depend upon the
Teachers, but future ones may depend more
iof their success open the Dfectors Of our
Common Schools, who may soon become
sufficiently enlightened upon this subject, to
refuse to employ Teachers who will take
neither time nor pains to improve them
selves, and who persist in being "qiacks" in
their profession so long as they can get a
Certificate or School.
There are about three hundred teachers
employed in the county during each year,
and it is fact that does not speak very we'll
for the majority Of them that but thirty or
forty Of tbs, number attend the Institute or
appesr to take any interest in sustaising
one. But from what can learn from sew
ersl teachers with whom have converssd
on the subject, Ythink our next Institute
bids fair 10 be attended. Teachers are begin.
ming to see that their own interest as we'll
as that Of the community, demands that they
shall lose no opportunity that may present
itself for preparing themselves for the very
responsible station they occupy.
Then let every true teacher, every one who
feels an interest in his vocation be At
Morristown and stay all he week.

valleys at the North; 50 leng az there was
oil in the cruise; 50 long as there was blood
in the heart; so long would the fugitive
meet with sympathy.
At this point Mr.. Beecher expressed him
self in terms Of eloquence. unusual even
with him. As he finished his sentence, q
profound sensation was observable through.
out the church. One gentleman, under tho
excitement Of the moment. clupped his
hands, and at once seemed frightened that
he had done SO. But the signal was sutfi-
cient; Another, and another yielded TO the
impulse, until a storm of applause rose
from the floor aud the galleries.
Mr.. Beechcr.-It isn't Sunday. Renew.
ed applause.
Mr.. Bsechsr.-There now. that will do
