Notice 20 Teachers.

| take this method to request all teachers Of
member their Reports and keep them accurate
iy, fill them up fully, and Immediately after the
close of the school, forward them to me, if
they can without expense; otherwise deliver
them to the town superintendent, or in his alb.
sonce to the Town Clerk of the Town where
they teach, or, if more convenient, the town
in which they reside; provided it be in Caledo-
MIA County. They are requested to be partic-
uar to fill out every blank in their report, as
the omission ola single item, such as Town or
No. of District, would render the report nearly
worthless.
Greater Importance is attached to these re-
ports than teachers themselves can we'll be a.
ware Of: and falling to receive one from ana
district large or small is matter OF regret
Teachers have generally been faithful in this
matter and we cannot believe it was wholly
their fault that so many reports of last winter
schools failed of reaching us. From fifteen
districts. in St Johnsbury only seven were re.
ceived; from twenty-five in Danville, only five
and from seventeen in Barnet only two. Prob
ably some, with whom they were left neglect
cd to forward them; any such will confer ia
vor by doing it now.

fully made out, is left with one of the persons
designated above7 And all with whom these

The Old Bay State.

We have n letter from friend in Mass0chu-
sets, who is familiar with the politics of that
State, upon the aspect of political matters ut
the present time. He refers particularly TO
Gen. Taylor's prospects. The information
from this letter is the same that we obtain from
all other reliable sources-to wit: Massachu-
sets will give Taylor an overwhelming majsr-
city. The few, nominally Whigs,w are get
ting up an opposition, are followed by a very
small number except such as have heretofore
opposed the Wings. These leaders, nominnlly
Wings, are those who joined in the unholy al
lance with Mr. Giddings to defeat MIR Win
throp as Speaker of the House, and who came
well nigh throwing that Office out ofthc hands
ofthe north and into the hands Of the slave
power;-the same men who, in Massachusetts,,
finding they cannot rule the Wing party and
Daniel Webster too, are bent upon ruin. By
.heir factious course in reference TO the Speak
crship they lost moral power with the people
Of the State, as has Mr. Giddings in his own
State, and for the Same reason.
For this and other reasons they can do the
Wing party no harm in the Old Bay State
The Wings there believe with the late venera-
bic JOHN Q. ADAMS, that the country and the
territory question will sufferno detriment by the
elevation of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency

of this Bill without fuller information Of its

over any question oppcrtaning to the govern

Constitution it shouidb he secuted out OF the

~ In All article upon the good state of
feeling among the Wings of Massachusetts,
the Atlas says:
"The old Wing party have always stood
firm and true upon the great issues of Free
dom they fought as one man against the
Texas Annexation, and against the war with
Mexico, and the extension of slavery over
soil now free. They have not changed, rur
do they intent to swerve one hairs breadth
from their straig ht-forward and manly course.
Let who may desert the standard of their
country, or attempt to divide the men op-
posed to War, Conquest, Slavery and Free
Trade, the Wings of Massachusetts will re-
main firm and true, as they ever have done
and with GENERAL TAYLOR and MILLApn
FILLMORE as their national candidates. thew
will persevere until their lubors are crowned
with glorious victory. They will have the
satisfaction, on the 4th of March next. of sec.

House in Washington, surrounded by Whio
Cabinet. Thus will the country be blessed. )
