est manifested in encouraging and sustaining ns,itu-
tons Of learning from the classic lore OF the College
down to the less important b, simplicity Of the
district school, where the foundation for all subsequent
improvement, is frs, laid !, has passed to proverb
that "knouedge pouer,' and consequently follows
that the better this power is directed, the eff
cien and salutary will be its effects Those capable
of passing judgment upon it unite in declaring that
system of common school education is seriously defect
ive-that i, may be and should be improved, and to
dscucss the understand be the object of
the above convention. The inference is easily drawn
that should be well attended and its deliberations
coun,enanced by men Of wealth and influence nor
should the fact that to them the benefits Of reformed
system would be comparatively unimportant since
they have the pecunary means TO educate their chill
den abroad deter them from aiding enterprise tn
object of which is to put the privileges within the
reach of the less fortunate

passion, no public expression Of feeling that need
be regarded with regret or reproach. ID Presi-
dent Tyler had vetoed The bill Repeating the Sub
Treasury he would mot have more completely
surprised the great of his supporters, yet
what has been their course? Now and then don
key has exhibited himself in some unwse and in
temperate antics, cursng, railing, and swearing
never to vote again, &c but otherwise has been the
course ofthc great majority. Their bearing has
been calm, dignifed, earnest, as becomes Freenen
ami Patriots. They feel regret, but not detection,
much less despair. They feel that they have a
country to love and cherish, no less now than a
month ago. They feel she has interests to main
tain and they have duties to PERFORM now as ever.
Nn;y nine out of one hundred Of them will e.
vince this oh every fitting opportunity.
This prevalent feeling inspires us with addition
al confidence and hope. The signal rebuff we
have lately received will result in good. it will
soften the aSperiies the party, but deepen the
attachment to the Country. And we have abiding,
earnest faith that affairs will take such turn nj

FROM so TO rs PERSONS LYNCHED!!

We have published notice Of the horrible ex-
ercise of Lynch LAW on the persons OF coun-
lerleiters in the valley of the Mississippi. In
addition TO what has already been stated we
learn from the St. Louis papers that at the la
test dates the citizens were on their way up and
down The river, burning the houses and otherwise
destroying the property of the miserable victims
Of their butchery. Their families were ordered
TO leave their homes for ever
From the statement of the ST. Louis New Era,
which we annex, it will be seen that the number
of persons butchered has been understaled In
stead of twenty thirty, it was from fifty TO sew
enty five Such horrible butchery admits of no
palliaon whatever. The discovery even of the
" implements Of rascality," is no excuse for the
horrid murders, and the people OF Coahoma coun-
~ should be declared outlaws, until the authors
Of crimes so alrocious and uneXamped are given
up. The following is The extract above referred
to-:
1t seems that the section Of country above and
below the mouth Of White River, on the NJ isis
sppi, has been for years infested with gangs OF
pirates and counterieiters Islands 67, 6S, and 60
were notorious resorts for them The people of
Coahoma county, Miss, and from the other side
of the river determined 10 rid themselves Of such
pests and our information is, that they succeed
ed in capturing from fifty to seventy five OF them.
On the Sd OF August, they placed them on
board Il trading boat, took her TO an unirequehted
place, so that there might be no witnesses, and
shot aud drowned them all. portion OF the
names of the gang have been furnished us. They
are--llugh fully, the chief of the gang, Eiiphus
Kingston, Andrew NcLoghlin, Joe Cotton, Hugli
Norris, Joseph Merrlott, Wells Pollock, and
James Mucauley
When the Baltic passed up, the citizens were
on their way down the liver, engaged in the work
of burning the houses lately occupied by the VIC
Tins of their vengeance. No violence was offer
ed TO the families who were with them, but they
were ordered to leave their homes forever. 1t is
further stated, that the Cashier OF the counterfeit
ing establishment was found dead in the river at
Columbus.
All the implements of rascality were found a.
bout the premises of the murdered men. A
large amount of counterfeit bank notes was dis
covered, consisting OF $50 and 500 notes Of the
Commercial Bank of New Orleans, not signed,
and !, 9, and notes Of the Third Municipality,
New Orleans.
