There cannot be too mncli interest felt and encouragement given in tlie direction of perfecting tlie plan and securing an efficient development of our common school system. As public enlightenment or education is the basis upon which rest the corner stone of Republican govern ment, do effort should be spared by our Government and State authori ties to bring the opportunities for obtaining a good education within the reach of every child. Every township in the State should be or ganised into one or more, as tlie population is great or sfnall, school districts; aud in each of these a comfortable school house should be built, having an eye iu its location to the accommodation of tlie great est Mather of patrons. Then teacher holding a certificate of qual iticatiou trocn the County Superin tendent should be employed in etch iobool fura period of at least six months in each year, and no tuition should be charged for attendance. They should be wholly free. The whole expense of building school houses, hireing teachers, etc, should be raised hjr taxation.

Like Carl Shurz in bis malevolent criticism on tlie Presi dent. He hesitated not to indulge the most freely in spleenish diatribes and falsehoods in that direction, but the moment the finger of criticism began to point out the stains of self- fchncss, nIignity, greed and dia- honesty which mottled his political character aud record like spots upon the back of a zebra, he wilted down and began to complain that he was being persecuted. The same spirit, not of cowardice, but of sell-abne gation from censure or molestation, was shown by the the Democrats of the South iu their efforts to break iro the government After they had exhausted tlie national treasury, dismantled our Northern forts, sent out navy on long voyages to for- eign ports, removed most of our soldiery to southern camps and de- feoot, hod passed their articles of secession, assembled their militia and (bed upon the flag ot the na tion at-Fort Sumpter, their appeal to the nation was : "all we ask of you is, let us alone." A fraction of a party that arrogates to itself so high an endowment of superiority over its brethren in other States, in point of integrity, wisdom and in- emtaisteney, as is the case with the Democracy in this State, should show a degree of dignity and self respect eommensurate with W bv fisted claims, and not like a cow ardly bully, get down on its knees and whine every time it meets with m mm i. i 1 1 .mi mi a ..s j . nowid teimlMtmMft r. ummmai tant stuck J.HHnir llown liMUr.
