at the last august Elections, they voted for Mr..
Polk for the Office of Governor. They conclude
their address to that gentleman, in the following
terms:
'sWe wish you to recollect what you said in
your public speeches, viz: 81 wish to aspire to
no higher Office than the good people of this
State can give me.n You were elected. We
understand you are in this end of the State
making speeches, and accepting invitations to
Barbacues great distance from the seat of Go
vernment, leaving the office of Governor vacant.
When we voted for you, we had great assurance
that you would fill the Office with more than
usual skill and industry. You receiving two
thousand dollars year-a vast sum-and then
to be absent from your office We are all far
mers, and pay our tax If you think you are not
compensated, cannot stay at your office, we
earnestly wish you to resign, and let us have
Governor
Be assured we voted for you, and, under
isting circumstances, we can assure you, unless
you reform, never can again"

MIR. DAVIs0N'S MUSCULAR GUIDE
TO PENMANsHIP.

One of the most important branches Of educa-
ton, whether for the man of business or the gen
tleman Of leisure, is this, which, perhaPs,s most
neglected.
We would not willingly hazard an expression
of opinion as to the probable cause of inatten-
ton to subject so important, for we think
that of the two reasons given, neither can be adj
mitted as a satisfactory explanation. The first
cause assigned is, doubt to the utility of the
science But we venture to say that neither the
LAWYER, who has had occasion to decipher
badly written testament; nor the merchant, who
has had his account books made, by an incompe
tent clerk, to look like the counterpart of an an
cient hierogyphic; the scholar, who has ever
had riah literary treat from the pen of fellow
scholar, marred by the difficulty of deciphering
the mystic scroll; nor the young lady, who has
received neatly written epistle from one dear
friend, and an illegible collection of blots from
another, will suffer themselves to berankcd with
this class of the Berkleian school.
But another cause has been assigned for neg
lect of this highly useful accomplishment. The
science is in great degree mechanical; and it
has been gravely urged that this mechanical
study is unworthy of the attention of gifted in
tellect. But be it remembered that the same OBJ
lection lies in great measure against that use
full science, amongst the devotees of which are
to be numbered Fulton and Franklin; and that
this science, when acquired, is of as much as
sistance to the operations of the intellect, either
in the counting room or the authors study, as
are the mechanical symbols in that abstruse and
highly intellectual study-mathematic
We have seen many systems of penmanship
but we have observed in all defect arising from
want of attention to the circumstance of its
being in great degree mechanical, depending
on the proper exercise and training of the mus
cles of the hand The method adopted by Mr.
Dawson is admirably calculated to effect the OBJ
ject of giving freedom and facility to the actor
of the muscles, and at the same time of instruct
ing the pupil in the philosophy of the formation
of letters. 1t is, we believe, a new plan, and q
great improvement.
