Mr.. EDlToR: From present appearan-
ces, am inclined to think the Conven-
ton of Temperance men to be held on
the 18th Of December, will be a strong
and imposing body of men. Many del
egates, as have been informed, have
been chosen already, and i, is expected
there will be responsible and intelligent
men IN it from every part of the county.
consider it an important convention,
and ] recommend that every man who
intends to be present, inform himself in
regard to the result Of Legislation on the
License question in othes States,--that
he reflect upon the License system of our
own State; and upon he kind OF law best
suited to The exIgencies Of the case and
the times.
There will, undoubtedly, be conflict
ING opinions in the convention-opin-
ions which cannot be reconciled---so del
egaies must come prepared to yield their
tondest schemes, should the majority
think best. And they must come prepa-
red to stay longer than day Unnecessary.
for it is more than probable that the pro-
ceedings cannot be concluded in SO
short time.
Come up to the work, fellow citizens.
It is good work, and it is proper and
right that every good citizen should 10y
delegate or personally, be present to as
sst in it. Temperance men not sen, in
as delegates; will of course, presume,
if known 10 be true to the cause, be ad-
mitted to the Convention.

] know that if that Academy wers torn
down, and the $500 given 10 two or
three common schools the people would
be much wiser. IF our educational sys-
tenn oe propped up by many s.ch 'bul-
rcrks," we will soon have an educated
aristocracy and an ignorant and enslaved
lahblc.
For ".Spsc'0'or's" information I viii
say have never been at either Yale or
Princeton. and hope he will for my in
formation. tell us how common schools
are to grind down the poor. When he
does that, or when he attempts to do it. I
will tell him how they elevate and equal
ize all casses-cure many Of the evils of
our social system-and prove a univer-
sal blessing. JUNO.

"Gpectator" an;i Common Schools.

A correspondent in last weeks 'Whig'
who has assumed the cognomen of Spec
ta,or," breaks oot in burst OF eloqlence
on the influence Of woman &c, and "hav
ing disposed somewhat summarily of this
part OF his subject "turns to the other
part, and attempts at one fell blow to de-
molish Common Schools, Public Libra
ries, and their defender "Juno." But
his attempt is, to use the language off.
Q. Adams "inefably stu pid"
He goes into Pennsylvania and gives
us description of the Ichahod Crane
School masters, and the practical effects
of the Pennsylvania School system, but
he spoiIs all his argument, by saying it
is libel TO call such system common.
And because Pennsylvania has tried
an experiment by halves-no not an ex-
pertinent "a system, and pungled it. we
are not to correct and put it IN success
full operation. Truly that's sIeat argu-
ment. "Spectator" might with the same
propriety tell us because man can't get 10
Heaven by being half a Christian, Chris
tianity is failure an impossibiily.
AS to his assertion OF the Cecil coun-
| uans being "more refined. and better
able to give their opinions upon any sub
ject than those of any county Or State
short of New England'-that requires
some proof. But why are they better
able in New Englnnd! They have
common schools there. That explains
1t.
I can assure "spectator" I have been
several years citizen Of the comfy
and happen to know little about her
Academies and educational system toe
I know one of her Academies receives
$500, and doesn't average, one year
with another, more than twenty schol-
! crs. know that within sight of that
Academy the people are as ignorant as
in any other section Of the country. And

But five delegates out Of thirty elected

condition Of the side walks, Sc, and we
think they do need some attention. We
move that the property holders on the
North side of Main street, pave before
their premises with BRICK, and be exempt
from town tax until the cost Is paid by
their proportions being retained. Some
have offered to do so-it would be an ac-
commodation to all the town, and wethini;
the plan should be adopted. Wake up,

PROCEEDINGS OF A
Temperance nee.tng at Egg Hill.

At meeting OF the friends OF Temper
ance held at Mathis School House on Sat
urdav evening Nov. 2!th, Thomas Miller
was called TO the chair and James Nc
CauIey appointed Secretary.
On motion, the following delegates
We're appointed to attend the County Con-
yenton 10 be held at EIkton Oh the ] 3th
OF Deccn.ber James McCanley, VIM. II.
Eder, Danl. J. McCauloy, Thomas Miller,
and VIM. w. Shippers.
The following resolutions offered by
VIM. II. Eder, were adopted by the meet
ing.
Resolved, That the increasing taxation,
pauperism, and crime, resulting from the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors as beverage,
calls ior prompt: energetic, and united ac-
ton, on the part OF every lover Of hui
manity.
Resolved, That we believe it is as much
the duty Of our State Legislature to pass a
law prohibiting :he traffic in strong drink,
as it is for them to enact laws prohibiting
the sale OF unWhole&ome food, or indecent
and immoral publications; or to enact laws
to forbid gambling, horSe-racing, highway
robbery, horse-steaIing, sabbath breaking
or any other immortality.
Resolved. That we look upon all estab-
lishments where Intoxicating liquors are
sold, whether it is retaied in a respectable
Hotel, fashionable saloon, or an oyster
cellar, as coming under the title OF nui-
sances, as defined by Blackstone "Because
it worketh hurt and inconvenience to the
community where it is located, and it is
therefore the duty of those having author
ity to suppress the samc."
Resolved, That we recommend to the
inhabitants of diheren: districts of the coun-
ty, to appoint delegates 10 attend the coun-
ty Convention, tina. the whole county may
be represented, and by unanmity OF ac-
ton show our determination to do all in
our power to shake 10 its base the mighty
fabric OF inteinperapce.

Ma. EoIToR.-Iou will please call the
attention Of The Town commissioners, or
the Bailiff to the piles Of filth thrown into
the street from various shops, cellars, &c.
to the condition Of the aqueduct to lead the
refuse water from the town pump to the
rough condition ofthe side walk from the

many other places and matters which need
their attention. There does seem to be

Reso7red, That in consideration of the
very limited number now in attendance, and
the fact that two Of the districts are still
entirely unrepresented, there is not in the
Judgment of this convention sufficient evi-
dence before us, TO decide what are the
wishes of the people Of the county upon
the subject that has called us together.
That although we are satisfied the friends
of education in Cecil county, are anxious
that something should be done and do re-
ally exnect it at the hands of this conven-
ton, it is not only important but sbsolute'

Wov'r ACKNOWLEDGE THE CoRE.--
Friend Harker wont acknowledge that the
Independent Dclawarian is partizan pa
per, unless we tell him what s'locofoco"
is. Now if he will just take the trouble
to examine himself, and find out what he
is made oc-and what his principles are,
or, in other words if he will just take the
trouble to ':know HIMSELF" he will, IN our
opinion, know Just what ''locofoco" is,
as we understand the term, without any
farther explanation. 10 k"o'c ones se!F is
said to be difficult Task. therefore his diff
ficulty, we suppose, IN having knowl-
edge Of the term clocofoco." Now don't
say we are mum any more.

ly essential that we should start right, and
that any system to be successful, must have
its origin with the people themselves, or
5e framed by delegates coming as immedi-
atc'y from them as possible
Resolved, That a convention of dele
gates from the Election Districts Of this
county, as districts, does not in the judy
ment Of the delegates here present form
such body as is required for the success
tul performance Of the work proposed,
some of the districts If not all of them be-
ing SO large in geographical extent as 10
render attendance at any central point 50
difficult as almost to preclude many who
might desire it from attending. That some
place ought to be adopted whereby the
primary meetings may he brought nearer
to the homes of the people through
which fuller expression Of their wishes
and views, and better attendance at the
convention may be secured; and that for
the purpose of submitting such plan to
the consideration OF the people.
Resolved, That 1t be recommended to
the people of Cecil county, to hold neigh
borhood meetings on Saturday, the 22d of
December, at 2 O'Clock p. NJ, at the fol-
lowing places, and 10 appoint at each
meeting, three delegates TO assemble in
county convention at Elkton, on Tuesday
the Sth day Of January next, for the pur-
pose of taking the matter IN hand, and to
frame a system of common school cduca-
ton for Cecil county, to be lald before the
Legis 'aturc at its next session in the shape
of a Bill or law, for its sanction.
