INCREASE OF rms LITERARY FUND.

We give to-day the remarks OF DR.. YERBV OF Notthsmp-
ton. and the subsequent proceedings. on his motion to add
To the Literary Fund. IL has been objected To this, that il
would have the effect OF fastening upon rs the present
" inefficient system OF primary schools, as some are
pleased to term it. and thereby prevent the adoption OF the
Dtshtef system. This does not follow by any means. On
the contrary. ss moaey Ii. the handspring Of all sction, and
a. no system can niurish without Il, tits important that,
nj this time, rkea there 70 MONEY ia the Treasury. there
should be . substantial fund 10 start uPon-no matter wha,
system be adopted. IL Is sgtecd on all sides. that the pri-
mary school fund IL insufficient for the present wants OF
the State, and that the great complaint 's. the, whilst the
INDECENT and the reh are provided Tor. the great middle
class receives no aid.
1.-THE District system be adopted, resting as it does upon
,osH'y fsrsi'on. ills important, that the Jsnd to begin ri,h.
should be Ne large rs possible. in order to lessen the
amount OF the special school tax, and thereby keep up tho
popularity OF the system until family established. Every
one knows tina. if the direct school tax in the countie. be
q larRe one. difficulties would be encountered at the com
mencement 'hat might render the system unpopular before
q fair test could be made.
In this point OF view. it is es pecialy important iha, the
ipe-biood Of n system should be maintained and that while
money is in hand. it should be set apart for tho purpose.
Even under the primary school system. something may be
given to hssdomies-snd the claims OF these should be no
longer neglected.
Dr.. VERIFY and thoee who voted with him, deserve the
thanks Of the community for the etf,rt already made and
we trust they will not permit themselves to be led off from
the path Of duty so wisely chosen by Them, from any sp-
prehension of injury to the Di>tric, system. If the latter
be not adopted, it ~il be because the public sentiment in
many OF the counties has not been awakened to is impor>
lance, and not from any peculiar ,heeicn for the old sys-
tenn, which all admit is but a partial provision for the indi-
gent
lie, the friends of a general system continue to sgirsic
tine subject, and the public mind will ere long be led to its
hearty and general adoption.

that several attempts were made 10 intro.

to draw up these resolutions, expressive
Of the principles Of the Convention by the
suggestion Of that staunch democrat, Jo-
NATHAN EADs, but the introduction of their
