for the exclusive benefit Of the rich, as IL in the
application it was so expressly provided By law.
It will not do to answer, that tho people IRE
compensated for this exclusion, by the benefits re-
sulting to the community at large, from the educa.
ton of a few. True, we find q highly educated
man, now and then patriot, philanthropist,
pnblic henefactor; but in most cases ho is man
from the humber walks of life who has not for
gotten his origin But it too often happens, where
the rich have been educated by the aid OF the
public funds, that instead OF becoming public BEN
efactcrs, they are only made sharper, and keener,
and better capalla of preying upon the poor; and
the pnor by being deprived Of the benefits OF such
funds are kept in ignorance and darkness and
below their natural grade; and that ignorance.
darkness and depression makes them more readily
ard more ea,ily a prey to the crafty Their own
money is used to teach other men to cheat them.
But | am fer from opposing the higher schools.
They should receive the proper encouragement
and aid But those interested in the higher schools
and the education Of the weather. classes with
the aid of the public funds, should take proper
view of the importance Of the common schools,
and Of the necessity Of educating the poorer
classes with the aid of the public funds, if not 10
an equal extent at leo st in more liberal manner.
As an offset for the funds set apart to make pro-
fessional men out of the weather classes, the
legislature should set apart fund to make teach
ers for the common schools out OF the poorer
classes. We shall seldom get any but the poor
to teach our common schools.
There are various subjects on which my opin-
ions have been expressed in detail in nv printed
addresses to the people Of the State. In the pub
lie discussions during the canvass last summer
also, when ! had the pleasure Of seeing many Of
the people in their counties and Of talking
to them in person, my opinions were still more
fully expressed. The result Of the contest psr-
suades me, that my opinions were generally ap.
proved; ard so far they seemed to be approved,
with the aid of the legislature, shall endeavos
to cary them out. And in all your efforts to ad.
vance the public interests, it will give me pleas
ure to cooperate with you, whenever il is not
impossible to do so. In dschargng my duties.
shall make the constitution tie law, and the public
will my guide.
In your presence, took an oath to support the
constitution of the United States, and of this
State, and to demean myself faithfully in office.
hope that fully appreciate the obligations of that
oath, and that fully understand the importance
Of the duties which owe to my country; and in
conclusion, pledge myself again, with the aid
of HIM who rules cur dcstinies properly to OBJ
serve the one, and faithfully to discharge the other.

TEXAS AND THE TARIFF.

Under this head the Richmond Enquirer of
Wednesday publishes an extract from a letter
written, we are told, by ga distinguished citizen
Of South Carolina The Enquirer evidently re-
CARDS the author of the letter as speaking with
authority, and says,-"We throw ourselves upon
his courtesy, as an excuse for the liberty we are
about to take with his production" The writer,
after expressions of exuItation at the recent
victory, proceeds to say
81 have been with Mr.. Polk this Summer. and
we went all over the grounds fully and freely.-I
know him well-he is apparently mild and re-
firing man; but on sound political principles,
there is no frmer truer man i'm this Union
He is thorough master of the whole field before
him, and sincerely believe he is an honest man.
His difficulties will be great; but truth, fdelify
and tiymness, will carry him through; and by
these, he will be able to impress himselfupon the
institutions ofthe country, and become blessing
to the Union. He ought to announce his princi-
pies distinctly and clearly in his inaugural, and
this will Immediately save him much trouble and
confusion. 1t will be due to his honesty and
character, that he should announce himself i'm IA
vor of strict Revenue Tariff, formed upon the
principles Of the Compromise Act of 1893. This
VIII form ra'lying point, and the public mind
VIII settle down upon something definite imme-
diaeIy. Then, in relation to Texas, he ought to
re-announce the famous declaration made by Mr..
Monroe, when President, in reference to the inter-
terence of European Governments with those ma
! tons who had won their independence upon the
! American continent These two points secured
and all others follow, and his administration will
be successful and triumphant; but if he is not
clear and firm upon these, there will be confu-
sion and difficulty"
The idea is further advanced that annexation
may be safely prosecuted on account OF the fact
that England will not ''risk rupture with u.s.
because Of the troubles likely to arise in Europe
at the death of Louis Philippe. With such film
sy speculations does the Enquirer amuse its
readers!
1t needs not the evidence of this letter to show
that full understanding exists between Mr. Polk
and his Southern supporters. They are not more
eager than he is to destroy the protective features
of the Tariff; they are not more devoted than he
is 10 the scheme Of annexation. Nor will their
allies at the North be slow in dscoverinc-nay
they have discovered aready-tbat the readiest
mode, the only mode, Of obtaining the favor Of

A story put forth by the Globe, under this cap
ton, is going the rounds of the Locofoco papers,
to the effect that the National In,ellgencer sup
pressed certain returns of the New York cleo
lions in order to enable some of its particular
friends to "hedge their bets'' by taking in other
Wings who were not informed of the character
of the news. This base charge has been trium-
phanty refuted by the assistant editor of the In
telligencer, whose business it was TO collect and
prepare such news.-He shows, in the first place,
that there was no suppression of intelligence and
farther that if there had been, the effect of
the news referred to by the Globe, must have
been directly contrary TO that charged by that pa
per! Thus met and confuted the Globe now
sneakingly insinuates that it was done to "draw
in the Democrats to bet''! AS the vile calumny
will not probably DE corrected by those Locofoco
papers which have published it Gas is their wont)
we ha re thought it proper to take this notice
of it.

This vile calumny has had its desired effect,
and now the Enquirer has the audacity to say
that the action of the Catholics was produced by
the Native American party in Philadelphia voting
for the Wing candidate for Governor i'm October !!
But where were the Catholics found ranged be-
fore that election, and what was their vote them
Let the following candid avowal of Locofoco
paper, the Carlisle (Pa.) Statesman, made just
after the Governors election, say:
I've say it without fear, that TO the Catholic

If the party in Pennsylvania had stuck TO true

now--it is too late-and in order to secure the
election Of Mr.. Polk, we must hold on Ia what
we have got, and make a. The interest of every
turahiSed citizen to cote for Polk and Dallas"
Here is proof, from the force Of which it not
possible for the Enquirer to escape.
AS to the "disgraceful coalition Of which the
Enquirer so Indignantly speaks between the
Wings and Natives, that, one would think might
seem strange even to its own partial frehds.-
Who does not remember the pomp and circum-
stance with which "Na,ive American" meeting
in New York in favor of Polk, Dallas and Texas
was paraded in the columns Of the Enquirer on
the eve of the election! And what generous
mind was not filled by it with disgustl Fou
surely if any thing were wanting to show the
heartless sel6shness of the Locofoco parry in all
their endeavors to array the poor Catholics as
sect in the political contests of the country, that
circumstance was of itself sullicient.-Having
betrayed them into false position-a position in
which it was we'll known the whole protestan,
feeling of the nation would be arrayed against
them-instead of standing CALAMITY by them, as
the party were bound in honor to dove see
them meanly seeking, in the same selfish spirit,
an alliance with their enemies also! We doub,
whether the history of Faction, in any age or in
any country, can furnish more revolving picture
of deception and treachery than this
