He voted for the distribution of the School Fund,
SaeOrdIng to Federal population; by which means,
e people of this part of the State-where the slaves
who under this distribution draw their poron) are
"nParatively few, and the poor children who ought
have been benefited by this law, are numerous,
% scattered over wide extent of country-have
n in effect, saOindled ont Of their Just rights"
Here is an attack, by wing paper, upon the Fed
a population principle, which, if it had proceeded
r'n the Democratic party, would have been de-
%0nced as Abolitionism; and Col. Reid is censured
adhering by his vote to the very principle which
