COMMON SCHOOLS.

We learn that petitions about being circulated
for signatures, through the different towns in this
county, praying the legislature at its approaching ses
sion to take some efficient action upon this important
subject Surely every intelligent person must see the
deplorabe evils arising fon OUR present systam-or
rather, our want of system. Through tie looseness
and irresponsibity which have become the prominent
characteristics in the management of our district
schools the whole NATTER in multitude Of cases, has
deseneraed into a strife who will "keep' the school
together for a certain length of tine for the smallest a.
mount OF pay; and as necessary consequence, com
peent teachers are driven from the field, and mental
and more generally moral culture, are made seconda-
teacher is employed for one season-introduces new
books and commences a judicous course of inshuc
ton, he is, next season, succeeded by dolt, who
changes the order of things and destroys the good that
has been DONE
Not only the ordinary necessities of the case, but the
action Of neghboring States requires that something
should be done by us in seIfdcfence. In New York,
Massachusetts,, ana we believe in New Hampshire, the
State exercises such supervision over its primary
schools as to exclude from teaching those who do not
give good evidence of being qualified and matter
of course the borders Of our State become to those
States what Texas is to the Unon-a receptacle for
all such as are incompetent to teach, too lazy to dig,
and ashamed to beg.
Whatcourse it will be best for the Legislature to
dopt-lnd whether the petitions alluded to recommend
any specific course, barely call the attention of the
Legislature to existing evils and leave it to their judg
mont to suggest remedy, we do not know; but tina
something should be done, is apparent.
We hope that all in the county who feel interested
in the subject and who does not@ will cooperate witt
those who circulate the memorials, and secure the sig
natures Of the whole community so far as possible.

QF9The Cdeionian of last week asserts that the
eaders Of the Liberty and Democratic parties agreed
during the late campaign in this State Tint when one
party could not elect members to the Legislature they
were to aid each other; and to make the terms Ogreea
bic, the 81 party to put locoocos in nomination
in the expectation tat there would be no choice of Gov
ernor by the people, and in that event, to defeat MIR
Sllde in the Legislature"
Now we have the best Of reasons for believing th.
whole story to be a malicious, unnitigatod fllsehood-
told with deliberate design to deceive those who looI
to that source for the truth But we suppose Mr.
Chadwick will retain his standing in the church an

GODDESS POLITICS.

fal4 ft IL xzl tl1 lI

creed of the majority that dre'coh6sE 80 fhe two
leading parties. Their motto is, support The regular
party nominptons though they are stepped in rum and
black with iniarny and crime. The inflel and the
ln drnkcr can secure more votes in his party than
lle consistent and devoted Christian and not few
who make great professions to piaty would vote for
the former in preference to the latter, provided their
party would be in any way benefited by so doing. -
They DO this on the ground that God has nothing to do
with politics, but has given them up entirely into the
hands Of the DEVIL that part Of the time they not
under the control of Jehovah nor accountable to Him
for their actonsthat all God requires of them is to
pray for righteous rulers and then: if their party re-
Iqurcs it, to uoe for Satan himself if need be, to de-
feat the opposite party, by other course Of reason
ing could many protested friends of religion, at the
last election have voted for men for senators and town
representatives who are in favor Of drlnkard making,
and openly profane the name of God in preference to
voting for temperate cody men, who if elected, would
do all in their power to carry out ovory important
measure they tn emsc,ycs world labor to secure
It on this principle that Vermont hiss been dseraced
with senators at Washington who either starcer hro'
the streets, wallog in the ditch Or which is nearly as
bad disgust and sicbon every viituous mind with their
filthy iosnrs e. horrd oaths. 1t was by adopting this
principle that many of our religious editors and host
of proIo5sed christians last fall circulated as TRUTH
one of the bascst iorgores ever published, and which
many of Them knew to be false when they were circu-
ating it, for the purpose of inurng another party, to
benefit their own win christian men longer disgrace
he.r profession and dshonor their God by sacrificing
every thing good and yruous upon the alar of party?
Enough Of this has already been done to corrupt and
well NIGH destroy the church and clotbo all heaven
with Mourning.
1t is time for christians to carry their religion with
them to the ballot box, as well as elsewhere to serve
God faithfully in political as well as religions affairs.
That party which requires the christian to sacrifice his
conscience and religion for party purposes he has no
right to remain in moment and that religion which
viii allow men to tell political lies and vote for poti
cal knives is a spurious, Goddess religion; and such
profcssed christians are enough to curse any church.
Who will commence the work of REFORM Who is
ready to sacrifice his party rather than his religion
and his God? Let Liberty men see to it that their
motto and practice of supporting but those who
will fear God ana have regard for His poor harmonize,
and let honest of the other parties refuse longer
to support party that makes wide difference be-
tween religion the Sabbath and religion at the bal
lot box; who profess to worship God in all religious
concerns, and the devil in political.

ifhe system allowed to go on, 1t would be the

Suppose that one Of our corporate members is inter-
esed in these estates-shoud therefore expol him
from the board and visit upon him adherence Of
the system with which he is connected? No. we make
right distinction between the man and the system I'M
der which he was born. So with slavery it had its Or
gn in sin, and God never meant that man should be
or made slave But the Shareholder did not mike the
man slave The laws and constitution Of society
mode him slave, and placed him under a masters con-
troll and government. The STAKEHOLDER was not neces-
sariy to carry out all the tyranny of the law but to use
his prerogatve of mercy and kindness, and the church
is to decide whether he has done So The church may
inquire how he came into this connection and how he
conducts himself under IT. and if he evidently conducts
himself according to the principles and doctrines of Je
sus, the church has no right to prohibit him from the
communion.
