At the school Meeting, by questioning the statement
we made in relation to those gentlemen in last
weeks Hawk-Eye. No one who was present at the
meeting could fail to perceive that the broad and
tenable ground assumed by these gentlemen was
that the meeting had no power to transact any bust
tion they openly avowed. They argued further that
the meeting did not possess the power even to or
der an adjournment. They also opposed the up
pointmcnt of the committee on the ground that the
meeting possessed no power to appoint it. These
are facts which all who listened to the discussion
must admit.
We know Mr. Rorer's eccentric views on Educa-
tioa, and we believe them to be opposed to the COM
mon school system, wherein the poor as well as the
rich can have their children educated together
Whatever may be his professions to the contrary in
public, We believe what we have said.
We are not surprised At the writing of such com.
munication - appeared in yesterdays Gazette, but
We are surprised that the editor, with his knowl-
edge Of all the circumstances, should have admitted
it into his columns.
The repetition or the SANDER which We last week
pronounced to be afalse in every partcularn shows
plain enough that the writer the Gazette has cho-
sen misnomer for his signature, and that he is
willing to stoop to the lowest trickery to carry his
point. The secret sanderer is wretch, but he who
retails the Islander knowing it to BE- such is much
baser wretch. ~ IS
We forbear to make any further comments ON this
subject. For the sake Of seeing Common schools
established on basis in this city, where
the children Of the poor well the rich may all
be well taught at the public expense, we are willing
to suffer Misrepresentation and reproach. Believ-
ing that those who are secretly opposing and throw
ing obstacles in the way Of the accomplishment Of
this object will be detected exposed and despised,
and that the true friends Of Popular Education will
eventually triumph, we viii say more aicresenf.

MAKING IT THE IssuE.-The Washington COR
respondent Of the New York Post says, that when
the Cabinet nominations were under discussion, in
executive session Of the Senate, Mr. Westcott OF
Florida, objected TO Mr. Collamer, because he was
sstainted with Abolitonism.'' After the objection
had been debated for some length, Mr. Seward Of
New York rose and remarked that he supposed he
himself represented the most radical opinions upon
slavery that we're held by any considerable body Of
the people at the North; and that he supposed MI
Collamer would substantially agree with him. With
