fEyHE Subscriber designs continuing his
Il school opposite Mr. John S. David's [whers
he intends to limit the number of his pupils,) for
the instruction Of both sexes in all the branch
cs essential to complete education Owing TO
the numerous applications for the admission of

ticc to himself and to those who patronize him,
to establish select school-and for the sake of
convenience the course of studies hereafter will
be considered as consisting o. two sections only.
Sect Ist, Orthography, Reading, Penman-

however short his or her time at school, shall
go through the whole OF the above course. We
are most decidedly opposed to the modern super
fetal system Of education. Whatever is stud
led must be studied thoroughly.

Irepatable and influential citizens, the vast
expense to the state in attempting TO en-
force the odious law, packing Of juries on
trials under it, the existence Of spies and
informers all and more than these high
charges were preferred against the whig
incumbent and. candidate, and wings and
loco focos, temperance men and anti tenn
perance men, presbyterians and infidels,
all were clamorous against him. His sin
had ..this extent no more:'' He signed,
in his official capacity a law which large
majority Of the representatives. of the PEG.
PIE in their official capacity had presented
to him as the offspring of their mature
deliberations for his ap proval. II the law
was unconstitutional, he was amenable
to the people for his ignorance they had
placed him i'll high station and he in
neglecting to make himself equal to the
correct performance of the duties it i'm
posed on him, justly laid himself open to
censure. But we think the wings Of
Mass lchusetts, in suffering themselves to
be led off from the great issue SUB
TREASURE OR NO sUB.TREAsURY," are
amenablc to the wings of the Union. They
have allowed local prejudices to affect
general interests; personal considerations
to usurp the place of patriotism, and re-.
fused, from blind feeling Of anger to
those who unwillingly oppressed them,
to give the support of their vote to the
great cause of civil liberty against grasp
ing despotism. They have neglected TO
record their opposition to Martin Van
Buren,, and will wake to find their error
when the venal presses he has in pay
shall triumphantly point to their state as
an evidence that the sub-treasury scheme
and its supporters are growingly popular
! with this nation of freemen. We think
they have mistaken their duty. We know
not in truth what the result is yet, but we
know that they have greatly decreased
the popular wh:g vote of the staunches
democratic state there is in the Union
one that from the time the pilgrim run hi:
Prov on plymouth shores to this late day
has always been the acknowledged cradle
of liberty, tolerance, and Of civil and re
/: ligious rights.
From the proclamation of its sacred cha
rac,er, they are liable, and we know the,
will wake up and atone for their erro
f when the man in whose favor they will
t falsely be said to have declared, shal
: stand before the people of this enlighten
ed nation, and ask for the Office he nov
holds, as the reward of his abuse of hi
. trust, and his taithlessness to his promls
o es.
n Since writing the above, we learn ths
n there has been no choice by the people {
: Massachusetts, and that the election {
Governor, will have to be decided in tn
F. House of Representatives.

To His Excellency, Gov. Lucas:
Dear Sir: conceive it my duty as a
citizen of the Territory, to acquaint you
with the measures adopted by an armed
force a, st. F'rancisville, state of Missou-
RI, towards me and several teams employ
ed by me. Twas engaged in the tran spor-
ta,ion of goods from 1'ully, in Missouri,
to this place, and on my way was stopped
by company of armed men at St. Fran
cisville, under the command of Capt.
lowering who said he acted under orders
from a certain Gen Allen. They refus-
ed to let me pass without having my
teams searched for ammunition. They
searched accordingly, and found roll of
lead which they took, and the captain
gave me receipt for it. At the ferry on
the Des Moines, there was also body OF
men armed, and had to obtain written
pass from the Captain before could cross
with my teams. The Post Master at
ST. Francisville informed me that he had
received orders from Gen. Allen, to pre-
uent the mail from passing into the Ter
r;torv of Io,oa, but not feeling disposed
to obey his orders, an armed force was
kept at the Post Office, to prevent any
mail being sent into the Territory. Inc
POSTMASTER in this ace. Fort Madison
informs me that no mail has been receiv
ed the past week. The captain OF the
mnany at ST. Francisville, told me thai

vention shall give IS the man Of their
choice. L may b Gen. Harrison.--he
is worthy Of any mans vote; his servi.
ces in the field justify any need Of praise
that is in the gift Of the people. Il may
be Henry Clay-he has served long in
the council halls Of the nation, and has
never been found wanting in talent, in
segrity, or self devotion. tmay be Gen.
scott-of him i. is unnecessary to speak,
as all know Of his services, and none
can say aught in their disparagement.
we think he would satisfy many of the
old friends Of Gen. Jackson who voted
Tor Van Buren, before they knew him,
and who would prefer casting ballot for
no-party man to giving it to one who
has so grossly misled and deceived them.
Whatever the event may be, we pledge
ourself-if Territorial newspaper has
any influence in the matter-to a cordial
support of the Harrisburgh candidate, be-
lieving that to be the course pointed out
by wisdom and honesty.

States a, this time the subject, to bring about
reconciliation & a compromizs between the conieodng
elements STRIFE, who seem to b. nearly wrought
up to pitch Of desperation, and are apparently ready
aud prepared Of rely upon their dcchtauonsj
10 sacrifice every other valuable institution of the
n.y. and to involve the people and the Union IN all the
oaamtes Of a civil commoton, rather than yield one

raordinsty talent in reconcng apparen, insurmoun-
aud should he succeed in this effort should hn& he
~ould ue entitled and receive, nearly the united gra

Our Anti. Slavery friends viii perceive that IN Nj
