Death of DIR. Nathan .yac,ksor.

We were no less surprised than panied to learn of the
death Of DIR. JACKSON of Lafayette, which occurred on
Friday night last, at the residence of Mr.. Winchell, in
this city. DR.. Jackson had visited this CITY with the m
ienton of remaining during the present session of the
Legislature but death has put a sudden and final period
to his career. Yet it is hard for us TO realize the event in
its full force for it S but a few days since he called upon
US, apparently in his usual good health. "What shadows
we are, and what shadows we pursue"
DIR. Jackson was a man Of ardent temperament, and Of
course, as the world viewed him, was not without faults
or imperfecuons of character: but these were rather in
manner than matter, and his virtues, under a just judg-
ment, would far more than overbalance them. He des-
pissed political and conventional hypocrisy. and was not
slow to contemn and denounce both, without counting
the cost. His dislike TO all chicanery and fraud was
equally ardent, and he was a bold and unhinching cbam-
pion of the rights of the people. He was impulsive in
his attacks upon what he believed to be wrong and injus-
tice, and therefore may have occasionally retarded the
cause which he most strongly desired TO support but his
motives were undoubtedly correct in general. and for this
we may well forgive and forget his faults, while we hold
his virtues in lasting remembrance.
AT a meeting of the Editorial corps now in tins city,
appropriate resolutions were adopted in relation TO this
melancholy event, which will be found in another col
umn.

English duties
nm III Sf0fes

The range of duties is very much less in
England than in the United States. The
single article of tobacco is alone charged
with an exorbitant duty in England, while
under the United States tariff almost every
article of British industry is charged with
prohibitivc duties. This does not manifest
a spirit worthy Of our republic.

we heard some time since that the Representative
from Grant had been discovered to be a defauIter to the
Sehool FUND of that county, and that it was likely he
would resign his seat in the House. In the last Grant
county Herald, Dec. 2, we find the following. The

matter. Of course, knowing but little Of the true merits of

know of to meet his deficiencies. Whether he viii take

Education.

1t is a pleasing reflection to mediate on the very cordial
recommendation on the subject of education given by Ex-
Governor Bigger, in his v~aledictory message, as well as the
reciprocal support Of the same by his Excellency Governor
Whitcomb, in his inaugural message. That education will
continue to receive fostering care by all good and liberal
citizens, we have no reason to doubt. Even king Solomon
said, :" wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom,
and with all thy getting, get understanding"
The expediency of placing education within the reach OF
all, as far as possible, is advocated with an unanimous voice.
nearly. Enlightened State policy, not to say any thing of
the p~romptings Of humanity and philanthropy, calls for pub
lie munihcence in this behalf-the amiable precepts Of the
Hoy Bible enjoin it. Among Others, the blind and the deaf
should cot, altogether, be forgotten. The blind can in a
great measure aya,'' themselves Of that source of knowledge,
hearing, by constantly listening to the continued round OF
family conversation, aud also en- ue Ieeltal o. various
other matters as opportunity offers. "a the uHeaucdtea ana

the ordinary and never ceasing conversations of those around
themselves, their vacant ObseI walton barely watches acti ms,

of the countenance Of the speaker which, in The absence Of
any definite clue to the subject of discourse, gives rise to a
variety of contradictory and vague meditaiions. Wah this
view of the case, the deaf mutes have strong and special
claims on some separate provision being made by the public
for amelioTating their condition. A STATE INSTITUTION for
