EDUCATION.

What shall be done, by the state, for education
This is a great question; it ought to be- and we
apprehend will be, the greatest question for the
decision of the people and legislature of YER
mont; and that speedily. In our columns to-day
an interesting report on this subject will be
found. That document recommends discussion
So far il is rights discussion ia needed to do a
way that prejudice which leads multitudes 10 re.
gard the different branches Of education as hos
tile to each other, rather than as parts Of one
great and harmonious system-prejudice engen-
dered we fenr, by ignorance, and taken advantage
of not unfrequently by artful men for selfish ends.
Discussion is needed to develope the truth, to
spread it, and to arouse the people to feel proper
degree of interest in and give right direction to,
this subject But it has occurred to us that some
thing is necessary preliminary to public discus
sion. Facts are wanted, on which TO base just
and enlightening discussion. Without facts, those,
who attempt to lead the public mind, will misead
it. Without knowledge of the actual condition
of the common schools, the academies and the
colleges, there can be formed no true judgment as
to their wants and we will add, what we believe
to be true, that after the wants, even of these in
situations are developed, there will be no legisla.
tive relief granted until system fedIcdtion is pro-
posed by which the people can see that the rights
and interests of all grades of schools to be
cherished and secured. AS to the facts needed,
we will specify these viz the number of collie
ges, academies and schools in the state; of teach
ers of scholars; and of children, of suitable
age to attend school, who do not attend. Also, the
amount Of time the schools are annually kept
the expense of keeping them; and the amount
paid from the public tax, and from private contr-
buttons. Such facts, it seems 10 us, are needed,
before the legislature or the people can well an.
swer the question "What shall be done for edu =
cation? ?" These facts have been gathered in Mas
sachusets; they can be gathered in Vermont.
We have n Secretary of State who is whole
hearted on the subject of education let him be
entrusted with the power and means to gather
these facts, and we venture to say the work will
be well DONE These thoughts have occurred TO
us on reading Mr.. Swift's report, and on hearing
President Wheeers address on Sunday evening.
We throw them out hastily, to be received for
what they are worth.

THE ELECTIONS.

The locos rejoice in the belief that they are 20
ing to carry every thing before them hencefor,h
and forever; but they will be awfully disappont-
ed. The truth is, they have carried the recent G.
leclions by mnorities of the people-even with
less that their own real strength.-When again the
people are aroused to real contest they will visit
locofocoism with overwhelming destruction. In
illustration of our views, we have compared the
votes of Maryland and Pennsylvania, and thus we
find that the locos have now carried these states
by less votes than they cast last November, leav.
ing the inference, and it is true one, that the,
owe their success not to an increase Of their own
strength, but solely to the negligence of the

TEMPERANCE.

The Washington Society of this village, re-
Gently organized but already large, held its first
public meeting at the vsstry of the free church,
on Tuesday evening. 1t was fully attended by all
classes of our citizens. Addresses were given by
three of our citizens, who have thrown off the
chains OF intemperance and become not only So
Der men, but very eloquent and effective temper
ance lecturers Their eloquence is of the true
sort; that which comes from the heart and goes
to the heart The meeting was exceedingly inter.
esting, and has added largely to the public feel.
ing in favor of the cause of temperance. An.
other meeting will be holden on Tuesday eve.
next, and we trust the people, one and all, will be
there to see and hear what has been done already
and what can be done in Montpelier

10 The good people of Vermont, and parlicu-
larly the Wing portion of i, can but be very
agreeably surprised ut the vote OH Wednesday in
been something very like the return Of the age Of
miracles, in the conversion Of the entire ocoloco
party from their nnli-tariff sins, and pub
lie profession of adherence henceforh to the
sound wing doctrine of Protection. To be sure
the fresh converts act u little awkward in their
new position, we find one of them at once fol-
lows up the vote in favor of Protective Tariff
by resolution directly opposed to this policy /;
we mean the resolution against the duty on salt.
That duty was imposed solely for protection, and
cannot be abandoned without also abandoning the
doctrine of protection. We know that it is urged
that salt is one Of the necessaries OF life SO is
woodland would the farmers of Vermont there
fore have it unprotected? Tire truth is that in The
adjustment of the system there must be a reci-
procty between the interests of the different Sec
tons OF the country. The farmer must suffer the
salt producers of Massachusetts, New York, Ohio
and Missouri, to be protected and on the other
hand the producers of salt must yield to proec-
ton 10 the interess of the farmers of the North.
If we in Vermont insist upon striking out every
duty which happens slightly to tax us, we may be
| sure that we shall be met with the demand to
abolish also the duties which protect our interests.
Our readers must not be surprised TO see The new
friends of the Tariff acting thus uwkwardly at
first This is matter Of course, and must be
overlooked. We beg our wing friends to be kind
to their new associates, who will need all their
sympalhies under the excoliation which they must
receive from the Spirit of the Age, the Vermont
Patriot, and ether presses which have been so
bitterly opposed to the Protective System.
Again it will be noticed that on the same day
another of The new converts to Protection, intro
duced resolution against any sort of National
Bank. The mover undoubtedly deems his course
perfectly consistent; but we fancy that sound
national currency is as essential TO every branch
of American industry u Tariff itself. A Tariff
and sound currency constituted the great system
of Protection under which the country has once
prospered; and we firmly believe it never can so
prosper again, until the same we-tred system is
substantially established.

be incredible, if il were not attesled by the Cap

Holland, and was giving chase in boat with five

soon came up with, and harpooned The ami

perpendicularly, and carried ont great quantity
of line. The crew remained with their oars
raised, waiting for his reappearance, when, on n
sudden, they saw an enormous jaw rise on each
side of the boat, far above the gunwale which
was thus caught in The mouth Of the whale, and
was ready TO be crushed in an instant The men
were so paralyzed by fear, that they could moi
obey the Captains order to get out their saws and
work away at their mouth but gradually the
jaws began to sink, and after giving the boats side
a terrible grating, disappeared beneath the water
