hart. as to take into consideration what measures
Are proper to be adopted for their safety end the
preservation Of their liberties.
.Nsm TariG-We present TO day a bill IN
liberation Of the several acts imposing duties on i'm
hor,s.n as reported to the House Of Representatives
fom The Committee Of Manufactures ~ When the
fommi,,ee was empowered by the House 10 send
lor persons and papers, ID order 10 ehelt al the
ninth that could be brought to bear upon this inter
1s,inp and important subject in us most condensed
md authentic folm. the Adams men CRED out
kick. The whole Of heir papers that came "ithin
6ur resc denounced the course token by the House,
xd ,ropnos,icaled that no bill would be reported -

Smonp them that will say, il does rot give prnter
Non enough We wonder what 'hey will trd next

Aat "a!though il may pass the II use it will be
Sonped in the Senate hope they don't wish
4 that fate--we can assure them however that there
Il as little probability that it will be stopped there,
i there wns that thu Committee would not report
Eaucat;oa Or the first page Of this paper wlii

n tie Senate Of PENNSYLVANIA In recommending
NJ perusa Of il to our readers il affords Us an OPP
xortunit, to call the attention Of the citizens ol
Delaware to this all important subject. Inc es-
Enlistment and proper management Of pubic
xchools in republican country seems TO be 50 IN
Hmately connected with the prosperity, II not with
H. durability of the government that It Is difficult
70 account for the apaths that exists IN TINS res
bect in some Of the Statrs OF the tnlon, anu ~
None perhaps 20 greater degree than 70 our own.
Tic vital Importance Of education IN government
of tie people like ours. and indeed its immense
yalue under any, and every sort OF circumstances
iguniversally admitted yet we perceive that neon
nratlyely few Of the States, is there any general
sy.tem Of education established We have school
find in this State, the interest OF wnlcf IS very
nsarly equal to that Of New York when territory
add population are considered. and yet there are
n0 one hundred children amongst rs who reap
al, advantages from it.-It IS true attempts have
| I'm made in our Legislature to appropriate
nj Of the interest for this valuable object but
kst.tofure stlnted policy has prevailed, thc dc
I'm has been Frustrated, and sometimes part Of the
| fdbd itself diverted from its legitimate destination
We hope however that tins state Of things will soon

ti6n equal to our means, though it may not be en-
| Hkely euui,alen to necessities, will be cstab-
| l31hes upon some Of the plans now approved by
&berlence.
/ @f our legislature should meet this year this sub
ie2t will doubtless claim its attention, and we are
BIASED to know that our friends in that body, are
Esourahe to this object, and that they will use
thsir exc:tiuns and influence to effect it.
.qbuse Of Frankingi The abuse Of the privilege
offranking by using it for mere party pu poses BY
tk Adams members Of Congress Is almost incredi-
BIZ This privilege was granted for no such pur.
poses; it was intended to enable the member, Ia
communicate freely with their constituents and to
furnish them with documents relating to national
copcerns without expence. But it is in practice
Ipefyerted to the dissemination of party pubca-
Iti0hs, from the Adams Virginia address, down to
Rbns' forgery Of Harris letter. We are in
oHned, that to ono town in this state, (having as
tM8we known but one representative from the
Istae no less than twenty five franks came by one
Im4!, covering as many Of the Virginia addresses !
WI marvel how the honorable gentleman finds the
nsessary time for his public duties, if he devotes
sohuch to this drudscry Of party, and how he re-
cqAcles to his sense Of duty, the employment Of
IN public paper and the public mails, in circulat-
~ the illusions Of party abusc.-And what is the
pager SO sent e--An address repeating every stale
E'lAder, forgery and all, Of Gen. Jackson.- But
