"Iha principles of that party (the Free Soil
Pdry) were then, During the late Presidential
campaign and are now the principles of the dem
ocracy, and there was no earthly necoSsity of d.
ld,ng our party on that ground." - Green Bay
Advocate.
We supposed the consummate humbuggery
and impudence which this extract exhibits had
expired with the last campaign; but it appears we
are mistaken. No, there was no necessity what
ever OF dividing the party on that gound. The
Free Soiers had nothing whatever to do but to
give the he directly and explicitly to all their pro-
LESSONS, and vote for man who repudiated their
principles. This Is what the Cass men did. if it
be true that these were their principles, andthey
now claim honor for their recreancy; and not
only that, but claim from the same cause the
right to dictate TO those who were honest. Gen.
Cass has Just come out in a letter reiterating and
rcailirming the position he held during the cam
paign. There is not press in the State but now
admits that his position is zone of hostility to the
Proyisc; and yet say thew we are all Proviso
men, but there was no use in dividing the par
~ IN the matter of electing a President who was
opposed to it, Wonderful mento support prj;n-
c'o'e they are; and worthy leaders in any cause
Truly the whole democracy ought to be proud
to follow the dictaton of such men-and happy
indeed That they have convention on the 5th
OF September, whore they will not be troubled
wilhthcse stupid politicians who suppose that it
is PRINCIPLES instead of men which claim their
first consideration.
One more point We elected TAYLOR saw
these men. Wen suppose we did; is he not in
la,or Of the Proviso? No. say they, for he lives
at the south and holds some 200 slaves, and there.
fore must be opposed to it. Pretty wings then,
were those who pretended to be in favor of the
Puviso, and yet elected him. were they nct2-
Great rascals, they were, say these Cass men.
Exactly 50, and yet if you with our help,) you
Wumot Proviso men, could have elected Lewis
Cass, more fully pledged against it than even
Taylor, it would have been all right, would it
not? 0 consistency thou art jewel which one
would look for in vain in the course of a Cass
Wilmot Provso man.

IL The Milwaukee Sentinel speaks Of .he
doctrine of obstruction" being peculiarly loco
foco doctrine. Itmay be, but it is one to which
we never subscribed. We think the term of an
United States Senator is too long and should be
shortened, but after he is elected we ike to sec
him serve out his time, pursuing the dictates OF
his own sense of right. If the Legislature or
people make a bIunder and select an unprinci-
pied and dishonest man, it is their fault or mis-
fortune to be borne as similar evils are in other
walks of life. Doubtless there was some object
in constituting the United States Senate as It is,
and until 1t is reconstructed by change of the
Constitution, we trust the object may be OBJ
observed.

" The School House erected in District
No. in this village, is decidedly the best school
house in the State. It's dimensions are forty
three by seventy feet, and two stories high above
the basement; it is a substantial brick building.
and well ventilated, the rooms IN edch story be-
ing fourteen feet high in the clear. The first
and second stories each contain hall of about
% by 40 feet. There are four recitation rooms
all conveniently arranged a library room, two
wash rooms, several closets, etc The seats are
constructed upon a new plan never before intro
duced in the west: the standards of the seats
and desks are Of cast iron, of a pattern which
combines ornament with durability The cost
OF the building thus far has been four thousand
i've hundred dollars; this does not include the
lot on which it stands-thc lot was given to the
district by S. FISK, Esq and is valued from five
to six hundred dollars. Five hundred dollars
moEe will be required to furnish the building
with indoor apparatus and outdoor appendages
in order to render il complete.
The project for tic erection of This building
was originated some three or four years ago by
number of friends of education in this place.
aad for this object a special act was procured
from the Legislature, allowing the district to
levy sum sufficient to erect a suitable build
ing, and to tax the property of the district annu-
ally to pay the expense Of supporting free
school. The friends of the enterprise have la
bored assidnoosly for its accomplishment, and
lave now the qualification of Witnessing the
completion thus far Of one of the noblest free
school structures in the State. BY the adoption
OF our State Constitution and the recent passage
Of our new school law, the special act procured
by the district will hereafter be unnecessary-a
the schools in the State, organised pursuant tc
law, are to be free schools.

DEDICATION OF THE PUBLIC School HOUSE,
The Public School House in district No. | in
this village, was appropriately dedicated on Mon
day last, pursuant to previous arrangements.
The exercises on the occasion were of an inter
esting character, and were attended by large
assemblage 81 Juvenile population and citi5ens
generally. Speeches were made by Messrs Bond
Clement, and Graves, and an original poem was
delivered by Robert Hinsdalc, which reflected
credit on the speakers, and were manifesty well
received by the numerous assembage. The
Southport Brass Band, which generously volun-
tecred its services for the occasion, Contributed
TO highen the interest of the exercises by its en-
Lyenlng strains ofmusic: the juvenile choir I'M
der the direction of S. G. Strong, also added
much TO the qualification Of the audience. In
short The exercises of the day were highly sat
isiactory, and we trust profitable.
On tuesday the school was opened for the
reception of scholars under the supervision of
Il. p. GRAVES as Principal, with a number of
assistant teachers. We are informed that about
four hundred scholars were entered into the
school on the first day of its opening.

IL As our readers generally are aware, Cass
has recently written letter to the Washington
Union, rcaffirming his opinion of the unconstitu-
tionaty of the .Wilmot provso, and which de-
stroys any doubts which may have rested on his
course with reference to it, had he been elected
President. 1t furnishes profitable opportunity
for a brief retrospect of the last campaign. 1t is
well recollected that not single Cass orator in
that campaign, attempted to justify himself on
any other ground than a confident belief that
Cass would not veto the proviso. The result
proves that they were tcrong and we were right.
In view of this fact, should not all candid and
honorable men who voted for Cass and yet were
truly proviso men, be willing to acknowledge the
correctness of our position and be ready to unite
with us. They conceded from the start that if il
were certain that Cass would veto the Proviso, it
would be a sufficient reason for opposing him.
They must now admit that he would have done
so, therefore they cannot deny the correctness oil
our position. Is it not then assumption on their
part to claim the right to dictate terms and con-
ditons to the Free Soil party and to claim that
all the democracy and all the honesty belongs to
them. Certainly the Free Soil party occupy a
position of which they have no reason to be asha-
med, and they can we'll afford to wait for union
until those who oppose them are ready to move
on to their platform.

o. The ship Charles Bartlett bound for New
York, was run into by the steamship Europa, and
sunk almost Immediately. She had on board
cargo, $50 tons passengers, 1863; and crew,
II; of which number l34 were lost, and the Ship
and cargo totally. R. B. Forbes, of Boston, be-
hated himself with great courage on the occa-
sion, and rescued several persons who would
otherwise have been lost. In recounting the
matter, it seems he was not without apprehen-
sions of the effects of his philanthropy, for he
says, speaking of a woman and child who foated
past the vessel: Had the poor woman exhibited
any signs of life, or the child, | could not have
resisted the impulse to go after them, without &
rope or any support, and being poor swimmer
! might have persisted amid the confusion and
noise before any aid could have reached u.s.

u Gen. Taylors Proclamation for Fasting
excites considerable comment among the press,
and strange as it may appear, it assumes ekclu-
sively party character. All the papers which
have disapproved of It, are Loco Foco; whilst the
Wing press are equally Jealous in sustaining it.
We apprehend when it comes to observing it,
these wing brethren will practically manifest as
little reverence for it as the Loco Focos.
