IL 1t is an old aphorism, that, "what
is every body's business, is no body's huG-
ness" This, in relation to the schoolfund,
justly belonging to this Township, would
appear to be no more trite than true; and
quite u~naccountable OIL any other hypothe-
sis. We find, from a list Of go counties
below mentioned, that the sum Of $4S,4s9
II was, by the last a~pportionment OF the
Superintendent of Common Schools, allot-
ted to said counties, as their share Of the
general dividend of the common school
fund. We find also, from said list, that
the county Of SPIKE" rates the third in
the amount drawn: being 1926 IL as her
share, and only falling $459 IL behind the
first on the list. We further find, from an
annexed list, of the County Treasurer, that
this Township (No. 81 range l West) n
largest perhaps in the number Of those en-
Titled to the benefits accruing from said
fund, does not actually draw one cent,
while her just amount, under a proper or
ganization, would be at least as large as
the largest on the list; and we still further
find from the facts in the case thai this
district draws nothing. 1t would be use
less, to in !ulge in regret for past remissness,
which would be at once weak and u~navail-
ing: and it would be wicked, to allow this
state of things to continue. The children
of this Township, are entitled to their share
of the fund, but the law of the land has
not empowe1ed them to act for themselves.
The law, however, that denies power to
them, has given it TO you. What kind of
agents for, or guardians Of, the rights OF
children, then, are you, who, year after
wear, suffer their interests, the interests OF
the country, and your own interests too, to
lie neglected, for want Of fulfilling your du-
ties as guardians of their helplessness. Ac-
tion, immediate action, is required on. this
subject. 1t is true that neither titles, nor
emoluments, will follow the actors; but
help to the helpless, aid to the weak, as
~sistance to the poor and needy, will follow:
and a consciousness Of having done your
duty, will be, to integrity, a sufficient re-
compense. We know you are willing to
act, but slow in beginning action; still in
tending, but indolent in execution; once
however begun, and the thing is done. In
noticing this we have done our duty; iii
carrying it into eOmpIetion, you will do
yours:

Again are we victorious. Again,
has victory perched triumphan'ly on our
banner. Again, have American arms,
achieved a most splendid, startling victory.
We can Justly claim the veni, vidi, vici, Of
the invincibIc Roman, for, Epluribus Unum.
There is no difficulty, now, in foretelling
thow this strife will terminate; nor insceing,
that the victory of Cerro Gordo has but
preceded the fall of the imperial City oil
the Aztecs. Mexico lies PROSTATE. The
wl,irlwind of victory, has swept away even
the sestigc of opposition from our sister re-
public, and has left us sole arbiter Of her
welfare nay even of her existence.
In this state of affairs, it behooves us, as
~victors, to pause in our career of victory.
Passion, urged on by our brilliant success
es, is but a bad leader and worse guide
Our national character Of %clemency; the
question as to the capability of a Democ-
racy COR self government; the sacred cause
of HUMAN LIBERTY, admonish us to pause
We were insulted, injured, outraged; we
have wiped off that insult, that injury, that
outrage; Mexico has felt our power, LEI
her now partake of our compassion.
Let her be compelled to do us full JUS
ticc, and nothing more than justice: with
that, we will be content, and with it, car
well afford to be merciful. a people, stand
ing pre-eminent amongst the nations of tho
world, as THE NATION, strongly marked by
the finger of God, as the only one capable
by her intelligence, and institutions, ofSolv,
ing the great problem of mans capacity
for self government, must pause; the liber
ty of the human race hangs on our resolves
let us not d~isarpoint her expectations
War, of itself, is an evil. And war, carried
to excess, even in redressing wrongs, ma.
swell into a blighting curse. Mankind
have other, greater, more glorious duties
, than the fierce excitement of victory
To shcw to the world, then, that we wer'
urged on by no reckless spirit of rerenge
no avaricious desire of acquiring territory
no ~sanguinary spirit of slaughter, for slaugh
tcr's sake, let us extend the olive brancl
, ina spirit of ~candour; and by moderate de
mands, just dealings, and a generous be
nevolence, prove that we arc no more de
, termined in a just cause, to conquer Others
t than capable to command ourselves; thes'
: should be our motives as men; and be as
! sured that these will be our greatest, our a
biding glories as a Nation.
