 The Patriot and Democrat at Hartford is greatly mistaken it s"pposes that do not strike chord in unison with public sentiment when we adHer'ed [" certain topics in connexion with the School Fu"d and iis commissioner. We assured that not a few of the friends of the administration approve of our course in this respect. The truth is, that the com missioner and the motives ofhis late political conduct arc quite too well understood hereabouts 10 enable him io command the least sympathy at the hands of any party. TI is the universal opinion that little ad moniOn wilI do the gentleman no harm.
 We invite the Patriot and Democrat to discuss with the following subjects ofgrea, moment to the sta'e connected with the prosperity of the School Fund
 l. The tenure of the office of Commissione,, and whether he should or should be chosen annually by the peopIe2
 g. His salary, whether it should should no, be reduced2
 lie ,hntGo ;e ;a r,u hos s,nn charge the state his expenses to- at, and from Hartford lover hundred dollars per annum) as he chooses to reside n LitchfeId for his own con. en. fence?
 4. Whether i, is eminently hazardous to confile such enormous sum 10 the discretion of one man and whether some check upon the powers present exercised ny the commissioner Is demanded by the public good7
 g. Whether $l250 per annum is not compensation sufficient 10 make it the duty of any to devote the phoie of his time 10 the public service?
 6. Whether it is right for officer who holds such an interesting trust for i'e and benefit ofhe whole people to become an active electioneerer; and wheh- CT it will not follow a certain consequence from such conduct that the School Fund will be dragged into the arena of party politics?
 We tender 10 the Patriot and Democrat an issue these and other analogous points. All we ask of the editor is to meet that issue fairly, and the stale cry of federast Cpderalisi We deem it no degradation to have little free debate with paper conducted in the spir, of the Patriot and Democrat; bu, here are some prints schich no decent man can touch srcept wih pair of tongs.
 Ihe School Fund-its alarming condition.

We by no means say ,ha, there has been any thing wrong in the nt oC the hi,herto 5u. insist that there grea, room for favorsm and other abuses The time may come when an alarming use may ie made of the unlimited powers al present vested in the commission er IL is apparent that this department of the public finances needs thorough overhauling. There should be appO inted an Assistant Commissioner and Board oi Directors to act upon propositions for loans, and 'o superine"d generally the management of the Fund The services of the latter shond be gra,utous, but the former mus. be paid moderate compensation which would cost the liule as the nable salary paid al present 10 the commissioner could be brought dow" to 5000 per annum without doing any injustice toLhat officer.
