u We direct The attention of those
Interested, to the orders Of orr County
u Ill relation TO Ike public funds.
We understand HAT ii r. the intention Of
Tie Court 10 apply The interest of the
road and canal fund, amounting now to
about $1,000, TO the Improvement Of the
main thorough fares of the county, dur
ing The ensuing summer, IN pursuance
Of the provisions Of the Road Law
which will be found in our columns this
week. To effect this purpose, those
owing interest TO The fund, are request
Cd 10 pay their dies promptly. The ob-
sect is a laudable one, and the appliea-
tlon OF the interest of the fund in this
III r~ection. will in future enable many Of
the borrowers Of this fund TO pay their
interest in labcr, instead of money. As
TO The township funds, the very e1is-
fence and w~ellbeing, Of our whole
school systcm. depends upon the prompt
payment Of the uccrring interest. In
attention ard negligence in fulfilling the
obligations entered into by the borrow
ers from this fund, throws all the ar
Engagements and calculations Of the
school directory, as we'll rs the teacher,
ia.o confusion--and, il continued, must
ultimately bring our system Of common
school instruction into disrepute and
contempt among the people. The whole
community is interested in tie success
Of our common schools, andthey canno,
prosper unless the interest Of the
fund, by which they are supported, is
promptly paid-and we hold that every
one. borrowing money from these funds
should make it q matter OF conscience TO
pay upthe interest by the t~hir:y-irst Of
December in each year, the time Of pay

CANADA-ANNENATICN.

We have before alluded TO the memo
rails which a few northern fanatics are
getting. up, to re-annez Canadat to the Q.
States, with view, as we are led to be-
iiese, to cast ridicuie upon the Texas
scheme. In this, there is us much wit as
love Of country, and might well cminate
from men whose bosoms had never
known n thrill OF patriotism-men who
would have sworn in their wrath, that
bstW cen the North and the South there
should ever exist ininical feelings. -

years-for ourselves, we say that when
ever Canada places herself in the atti-
tude which Texas now occupies, we are
willing 10 receive her into the confedera-
CIV of states as an equal and a sister.
When they throw of the cruel yoke Of
English bondage-when they have
struggled as We did, and as Texas did,
for long years agains, the letters Of tyra-
ny which row bind them-when their
SOUL shall have been baptized with the
worlds best blood-when they shall un-
furl 70 the breeze the banner of liberty.
and declare that they are of right free,
and that their independence shall be
maintained, We are willing TO receive
her, sharing with her all the rights and
which we enjoy. We are
Of the number of those who believe that
it is not only cur right, but that it is our
bounden daty as citizens of a Republic,
to extend as far as we can rightfully do
SO the area Of freedom. We discfedit
selfish dogma which confines civil
TO 4 wall-town or a narrow terri
and we would give Ill boundless
empire-and such we believe will bs the

the rights inherent in them-and
crowns, ard sceptres, and thrones, will
be emily remembered as things connected
with a barbsrous age. Then, we say,

march Of freedom, and if in days TO come,

as to what disposition shall be made Of

of Benton wished it applied TO objects
of internal Improvement. Mr.. Brown
Of Saline, desired that il should be invest
ed in some profitable stock until the in
terest should amount TO $500. 900, which
should be applied 10 improvements.
Mr.. Hough Of Scott, moved 10 apply
portion of that fund to draining the
grea. swamp in the South Eastern part
of the State, and throwing up embank'
ments in the counties of New Madrid.
