which you hear at every corner OF the
streets and at every gathering OF the peo-
pie? Are these the marks and sgns by
which to distinguish Responding, di sheart--
ened people, ready to forego the fruits OF
four years struggle and willing to kiss the
rod that scoureed them2
Wa have extensive correspondence and
means of information from every part OF
the State, both collectively and individual
ly, and we declare in the most positive man
ner that we have not heard and do not
know OF more than six instances in which
any one heretofore known as a Wing has
become supporter of the administration
since the last election. On the contrary,
public renunciaions are daily made by cit-
gems who, up to the very last election, sup
ported the candidates of the Van Buren,
party. And hundreds are known to
have determined on the support oil Gen.
Harrison who yet shrink from public dec
laration in the newspapers to that effect
Many of these are induced to this course
by the shameless assaults upon the charac-
ter Of General Harrison.
1t is well known here, that, to many OF
the strongest adherents of the Van Buren,
party, the Sub-Treasury has been as odious
and abhorrent as it has been, and IS, to the
Wings. Many who will cooperate with
their party on every other subject, will de-
sert them on that issue. In the city of
New York that measure and its incidents
of hard money and hostility TO the Banks,
form the articles of the party creed, and
they have already evinced their determine
tion TO maintain them by recommending,
for Governor, Samuel Young, who goes
with them to the utmost lengths and who
is so notorious for his monomaniac hostili-
ty to internal Improvements. The party
in the country abhor their in6del, agrarian,
Fanny Wright associates of the city, and
all their words. Intestine dissension RACES
in their camp, and, if silenced at the APP
proach ofthe election, it will paralize their
efforts, and dishearten them from exertion.
We need not repeat the remarks already
made 10 show what different aspect is
presented by the Wing phalanx; and we
only add, having acted as Wing State
Committee in 1888 and 1889, we have had
occasion to test the accuracy Of our infor-
nation, and the soundness Of our cacula-
tions. The results of those years conform
ed to our expectations and to the assuran-
ces we gave our distant friends.
We now assure them that the Wing ma
jorty in this State at the next election will
exceed 1000 and may reach to $4,000 or
$1,000. We have thought it due to them
and to our cause to furnish them with this
information as the means of defeating and
exposing the attempts now making to de-
ceive the people on this important point.
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

POLITICAL.
From the Albany Evening Journal.

We publish below circular from the
State Ceairal Committee to the Wings of
the Union. II exposes and battles one OF
those extensive and organized schemes of
misrepresentation and fraud by which par
tisans OF the Administration are endeavor-
ing to retrieve its desperate fortunes. Its
source claims for it general attention and
full reliance. To the Wings OF this State
it's assurance are needless To pretend
here, at home, that the slightest probability
exists that the electoral vote of New York
will be given against HARRISON, is pitch
of effron,ery up to which Van Burenism as
yet has not been able to swagger. Let the
friends of tho Wing cause abroad count
with all certainty and confidence on the

Sultan of MuScat.

We have seen the elegant boat or barge
built and sent out by this government as a
present to the Sultan of Muscat. AS a
model in itself, we should say it was per-
feet. 1t is lined and cushioned with rich
blue damask silk, and silver plated furni-
ture, boat hooks, SC. &c.; and we ques-
ton whether the Grand Signior has a barge
of equal richness and beauty. Mr.. S. I'm
derwood, looking glass and picture frame
maker, 1856 Fulton street. has just compile
ted, also as as present to the Sultan, two
large and richly framed glasses 10 l-9 feet

COMMON SCHOOLS.


II is well known that our schools are defcc-
tive and need improvement. In order to this,
. they should receive more attentions they should
be the care of every man who means to be q
practical republican, and wishes TO perpctuatc
our free institutions. But is it so! Is it not a
melancholy truth, that, in too many instances,
our scools are wholly neglected, or made Sec
ondary object This ought not to be. The
best way to correct any evil, is to learn the facts
in the case. To make beginning, it has been
thought advisable to have more perfect returns
of the children. The law provides that the
clerks in each school district shall ascertain and
make list annually of the children which may
be in his district, the first day of January, be-
tween the ages of four and eighteen, with the
names of the heads of families, and the number
of children in each. To do this correctly, the
names of the children should be given, and their
ages but this is too often omitted, and mistakes
and frauds are occasioned by it. Itwould great
ly facilitate the object, if all the clerks would
take their lists on the same day; and the clerks
in the town of Burlington are particularly re-
quested to do that service on the first day CT
January. TO aid them, blanks are prepared, and
are in the hands of Mr.. c. Adams, who will
give them all the aid in his power, and explain
some points which cannot be stated here. The
other towns in the county are invited to take the
subject of their schools into consideration, and,
as far as practicable, to improve them 1t is
thought desirable to have the whole number of
children in each town, the number of those who
attend school, and, whether district or private,
and the number Of those who do not attend
school, with the particular reason for the omis-
sion, in order that public measures may be taken
to correct the evil.
