For The Cecil Whig
Meeting of the Friends of Education.

The second meeting ofthe Friends o,
Education was holden, pursuant to pre-
vious adjournment, at the School House
situated near Principle Furnace, on Sat
urday February 9th inst. The meeting
being called to order, J. Craig was APP
pointed to the chair, and II. Robinson,
chosen Secretary. Several gentlemen
addressed the audience with brief and
appropriate remarks. All seemed zeal
Gus in the cause of Education, and anx-
ious that something should be speedily
done to promote the progress of the cause
and elevate the condition of our public
schools. The remarks of the speakers
upon the subject deeply enlisted the at
tentlon and feelings Of all present. All
seemed conscious that the dawn of a
brighter day was about to break upon
Cecil county, and that the general apa-
thy that prevailed among the people
Throughout the county, casting a gloom
Of foreboding evil upon the future pros
poets oithe country, was speedily to be
replaced, by an anxious solicitude for
tiiC W tifaiN VI tllc llsIi9 generation dJu
the prosperity Of our free institutions.
After the closing remarks the meeting
proceeded to the transaction of business.
A petition to the Legislature Of Mary
land was read by the Secretary, purport-
ing to be petition defining the particu-
lar objects, to the consideration of which
the attention of the Legislature should be
called; and for which objects, provisions
should be solicited in the final petition
to the Legislature for the organization
OF an efficient Common School system.
The objects defined in the petition re-
ceived the appreciation Of the meeting;
| and, on motion it was
Resolred, That a Committee of seven
be appointed to confer together immedi.
ately for the purpose of framing COM
plete and final petition, based upon the

Judge M'Lean and the War.

"AAHiNGIoN, Jan. ., 1915.
MY DEAR SlR.-To all human appearance
the ternnH ton OF this miserable war with Mex
leo. is more remote that who. the first blow was
struck In my Judgment it was unnecessarily and
unconstitutiOnally commenced, by marching
our army into disputed territory in the possess
sion of Mexico. And, | think, that Congress-
who unGneStionably have the power, shuud put
an end to the war Oh ust and honorable prin-
ciphs.
Alter agreeing upon the terms on which
treaty should he made, they should call upon
tho Executive by resolution to offer peace to
Mex oo upon that basis; and during the negotia-
ton hostllities should be suspended Ifthe Pre-
sident shall refuse to do this in the military ap
preparation bills, the army should be required to
take such positions as shall carry out the views
OF Congress. These bills the President could
not veto, and he would he bound by their require
mcnts thus may be done bv the HOUSE
hope That Congress will refuse to issue any
more treasury notes. The notes demanded, in
addition to those already in circulation, would
Hood the country with that description of paper.
Such an emission would constitute ii government
bank, controlled and managtd by party ad
m'nlstratlon. We have now fifteen millions of
treasury notes in circulation, and authority to
issue hive millions more. | would not increase
tins circulation IA dollar, but reduce it as rapidly
as possible Such system would be- ncompa-
ably more dangerous To the public morals aud the
public liberty, than any other system of mixing
that could be devised
10 meet any deficiency o. the revenue to pay
tn" curen expenses of the war would author
ise Io1ES a pIc, paying no, more than SIX per
cent, interest, and il loans cannot be made at this
rate, let the administration resort 10 system Of
taxation which shall cause tlu people TO feel the
expense OF the war. All wars should be accom-
panied by a system of direct and internal taxa
lion.--N othng short of this can show, in ad-
dltIon to the sacrifice of life, what we pay for
military glory. This was the policy in the bet
ter days of the republic.
The late war with England was nobly SIS
tanned by the people not only in the field but by
the payment OF tnXes. Aud they will sustain
every just war IN which our country shall be in
viewed. But risk nothing in saying that an at
tempt 10 adopt such asystem Of taxatson would
wind up this Mex lean war in sixty days. And
this shows that the war should be put an end to.
This may be done by Congress IN ninety days,
and pray God that they may do it.
Truly yours. JOHN MCLEAN.

~ Tie Cambridge Chronicle should moi
have neglected to credit our paper with
"Ihe Footsteps Of Dccay," which it copied
last week. 1t was written for us by an
author of talent whose productions often
grace the pages ofthe leading magazines
ofthe country. OF course, we suppose,
the omission was accidental.
L. Ncighbor keatlnge Of the Hartford
1lodisonian complains Of not receiving
Tile Whig for some time. We purpose
ly omitted sending it to him, for the rea-
son that his paper never came to us Of
tcner than once month. We want to
see his paper weekly, and our object was
to call his attention to his printers de-
linquency. We have succeeded and we
hope there'll be more complaint Oh eli
Their side.
We would like 10 SC" The "papcr oul-

some who send us continually mean pa

tions ofthe Executive. But it cannot be
concealed, that, since the capitulation of
Monterey, the confidence ofthe depart
ment (and, too much fear, of the Pres
ident) has been gradually withdrawn,
and my consideration and usefulness cor
respondingly diminished. The apparent
determination of the department to place
me in an attitude antasonistical to the
government has an apt illustration in the
well-known fable OF Esop. But / ask
no favor, and | shrink from no RESPONSE

mand in this quarter, I shall continue to
devote all my energies to the public
good, looking for my reward to the con-
seriousness Of pure motives, and the final
verdict of impartial history.

No tale had sorrow then TO tell
No tear had learned to start;-
No tears except those joyous tears
From boyhood's gushing SOUL
Unirsught with bitterness or fears
Ofjoy's unmiXed control.
Ten years go.--twelve summers then
Had marked with rosy hue,
Lies preface with flow'ry pen,
So fair me thought twas true;
Twas brightness all, no speck or spot
Had rose in my young sky;
NJ aching head no clouding thought,
Nor care nor grief had L.
Ten years ago how changed the scene
That claims my vision now!
The sky is somewhat less serene,
And tevegs flush my brow:
Thoughts came, and care, and busy life
Have broken boyhood's dream,
And woke me in the toll and strife
Of manhoods turbid stream.
Within my bosom W lid desires
Have had uh,mely birth,
And ttfnl CLEANS my spirit fires
That may moi be of earth;
But o! sometimes think how vain
Are all beneath the sky,
That HOPE SINKS in the heart with main
