not simply between Fillmore and Seward. The
trouble lies deeper in the system; it is not cuta

principles and upon principle alone will it be set

enough, it appears till resolution was introduced
expressing gratitude and confidence in Mr. Seward
as the proper exponent of wing principles which

with just as much logic The second one will
answer by challenging him to produce the enacted

OF public school. In answer to the first it is
public school. The tax payers of this district in
one brief year have taxed themselves some five
thousand dollars to erect school house. large and

some 2200 to $500 dollars for Principals and AS

the establishment of that class of schools which
free schools was supposed to obviate, viz select

By the way, Mr.. Editor, attended the Annu-
