FOR GOVERNOR.
HENRY D. FOSTER,
OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY.
County superintendent.

The School Directors of this County, will
meet in Convention in this place on Monday
the 7th day of nrxt month, for the purpose
electing County Superintendent of Common
Schools. The Office is an important one, and
should be filed by practical teacher, quail
fed and willing to discharge its many and
responsible duties. We are, and always have
been friend of the system of Education by
Common Schools. 1t doubtless has its de-
fects, but they are more than counterbalan-
ced by it's merits. But for it, thousands of
the citizens of Pennnsylv ania who are now
possessed of good English Educations, would
be unable to write their own names or even
read The offspring of wealth may sneer at
it. but the child of poverty must ever regard
it as his benefactor aud friend. The Office of
County Superintendent was established for
the purpose of perfecting the system as rap
idly as possible, and has worked well and
rendered general satisfaction in every county
of the State. The law creating the Office
very wisely provides, that the incumbent
shall be practical teacher accustomed to
training the youthful mind, and who delights
to watch its development and see almost its
very growth. The State Superintendent will
not we understand issue commission to any
County Superintendent elect, who is not a
practical teacher. Of course it is not neces-
sary that he should be professional tea
cher.
We understand that an effort will be made
in the Convention to reduce the salary of the
Office in this county. We think this would
be bad policy. The laborer is worthy of hi,
hire. and the public servant who is faithful
should be properly compensated. Of course
the County Superintendent: will not faithfully
and rigidly perform all the duties of his Office
unless his salary is sufficient to justify him il
SO doing. 1t should be remembered that th,
salary is paid out of the State and not out o
the County Treasury. An Appropriation il
annually made by the Legislature for the pa,
ment of the salaries of County Superinten-
dents, and the Appropriation to the Common
Schools Of the different counties of the State
is not materially diminished thereby. It viii
ther, fore be perceived that the Tax Payers G
this county would gain nothing by diminishin,
the salary Of the Superintendent. AS tn
Office is one of great Importance to the peopl
every Director in the county should attent
the Convention. If through the absence o
a portion of them an incompetent person
should chance to be elected, they would rem
der themselves amenable to the censure o
those who elected them. We assure the can
didates, one aud all, that we ere their friend
aud that We feel disposed to do all in our po,
er to promote their election Gentlemen W
hope that you may all be successful, and tha
you'll adopt the democrat & Sentinel a

The President of the United States in the
course of conversation with himself, a few
days ago. expressed an intention of writing
some "reminiscences of his own career in Con-
gress and abroad. Mr. Buchanan is desirous
of leaving on record some notes of the prom

riods of his life he has been associated"

F Political meetings are the order OF
the day in Philadelphia. The Black Repub-
licans are becoming desperate, and the De-

the Municipal election, will exert powerful
influence over the Presidential contest. 1t
will in all probability foreshadow the result
in Pennsylvania in October and November.
Hence the remarkable zeal and activity of
