rhe school Question:,

The school Question,
Now that we have got through a third Election
without violence, in the face of most dangerous
infusion of secfarian bitterness in our Politics, we
do earnestly hope and entreat that the attention
Of wise and good men of all parties and of no
ca-ty. will be turned TO the adjustment, on some
1autuaIy satisfactory ground of the deplorabe dit
terence in our City with regard to our pubhc
Schools We will not venture to propose any
rhing-our counsel would be unheeded-and we
sre not tenacious as to the nature OF the arrange
nent, provided it shall prove satisfactory TO ths
parties interested 1t must be that there Is some
ground on which all can agree; and at any rate an
earnest, generous effort should be made. All musi
realize that the existing of feeling and action
in oar CITY ia lanentably unfuvorable to the en-
cacv and nsefulpess of our system of Common
School Education We have said as hliie as pos
sible on the subjective r1H say hething cd,ou-
lated 10 excite or continue bitterness on either sde
elimination and recrimination can answer no good
purpose Will not the phanthroPic, discarolng,
so far as may be, all prepossessions, make an ef-
fort on this point? None, we believe, consider the
act of last winter perfect or final measure Ihen
why not try now, when the advocates OF the aci
have, after fashion, achieved triumph which
gives them the power tolegislate as they please
why not make an attempt at Cancellation We
hope never to another Election in which tins
6rebrand of theologc discord shall be known Let
us hope that some adjustment will soon be effected
The splits.
"In tbe Sixth District where MIR. Mckesn was our can
d,date somewhat fearful that mas erect
ed its purpose" 'e'e'
Pleb. you know better than this; you know
John M'Keon was defeated by the votes ofyeur
own party; and you know why, too. We don't
wan, to interfere in family matters; but we don't
stand such false imputations. Well leave it to
M'Keon himself to say whether he has not found
the Wings fair fees and whether his defeat is not
owning to his own party.-Dd the Wigs defeat
Tighe Davey by pipe-laysng
The Union says of the same result:
"This has been effected by coonzing from the lower
Wards and we fear also, by apathy on the part OF Cur
friends In that district"
New what is the use of telling such stories T.
The "eolonizing" Of the Wings and the apathy
of the Locos are just Of piece. Ask the lnsPec
tors of the Eleventh Ward how McKeon was de-
fea.ed. IF they don't say it was by Loco votes
with John McKeon's name scratched of, they
won't tell the truth.
r5 Amid the general desoation there are some
green spots. Albany City has done noby. See
here:

U The vote is $40 higher than eoer before,
and the majority 200 higher than in ls4O. With
as high poll throughout the State, the result
would have been much the same. The candidates
are all pretty we'll known in Albany.
The whole Wing ticket is elected in Albany
County by over 200.
Rensselaer, has elected the whole Loco ticket
by about 100 majority-Congressman by 93-]ust
the number Who were Naturalized against us on
rhs day of Election.
HF AID Purdy lately remarked that John Nc
Keon had taken up his portman;eau and walked
into the Sixth District TO obtain nomination.
Well: John may now take it up again, and make
another move. 1t isn't every man who enjoys the
luxury of two defeats in one election.

Rhode Island have passed q bill appointing hurs-

Aecaun, of the Horrid Fight at Hastings which
Ended in his Death, and Reflections occasioned
thereby: BY Friend of Humanity has Just
been published in a neat, cheap pamphlet, and is
for sale at No. 26 Beekman street As it is pub
