MIR Hunter said they were driven a.
by company armed with offensive wea-
pons. If they had been permitted 10 r.

Mr. Butler resumed. Gentlemen hal
denied that societies existed whose object,
was to circulate incendiary publica:ion,
among the blacks. He referred also n
incendiary publications found in southern
post offices.
MIR Hale. Will the Senator say wbeth.
er those documents were directed "a
blacks.
Mr. Butler. They were directed to tut
such wh'tc men as you daughter persons
who, coming from free states, are traitor,
to the Institutions under which they havs
elected to live.
Mr. Jefferson Davis replied to Mr. Hale.
He proceeded to depict the aggr essions on
the South. He said they knew their rights
and felt their wrongs, and would maintain
those rights at any hazard. If the gen.
tIemen had come here to insult one section
of the tnion-if they were here to bring
about civil war, here then let the first
battle be fought. (Excitemept.) As to this
motion to print, he would only say, that no
battle would be fought; no matter how Of
iensive, unjust, untrue, insulting or tres-
sonab'e the resolutions mightbe, he would
vote for printing them.

REM OVAL!-a
Common Schools in Burlington.

To one or two facts presented in the report Of the
school Directors, as given in our last paper, we
would call the attention of our readers. 1t seems
that in nine months they have expended s47s is,
and kept four schools with 5s2 scholars. We re-
Kret that they have not given the average attend
ance, probably it was not over 900 or $50. The
erage cost of the education Of these $50 scholars
was "a cents apiece, for three months schooling;
or taking the average attendance $50 it was $i,-
ss. This strikes us pretty dear schooling. TAX
ing the average attendance the basis Of calcula-
ton it would make the schooling of each child,
$5,44 year,i e. for four quarters which is lar
ger amount than was expended in ASA by any town
in Massachusetts,, except somerville, Boston and
Brighton, and is only 80 cents short Of the amount
expended that year by Boston, Let it then no long,
er be said that we have not money enough to main
tain good schools. Oul only difficulty is in know
ing how to use it.
We presume from the language Of the directors
shat they in favor of acting the plan of last
summer again, i. 9. renting uncomfortable rooms,
and keeping up heterogeneous and crowded schools
Tor three months. Against this we would earnest
" protest. We believe it waste Of the public
treasure. The benefits of such schools are less
than the evils Of them. Beyond any question they
hinder the advancement of educatian by standing in
the way OF the erection of suitable school houses.
We must have good school houses first. The $s4,-
~ that were paid for rents and furniture last year
had been far better expended in making payment
on an eligible lot. We wonder that our citizens
should vote away their money so fooishly. One
ffh Of what has been collected Of the tax voted in
May last is already expended, and still the first step
- not taken towards getting house. AS the d.
rcctors have now $500 on hand, we hope they will
soon ubmit to the Distric. recommendation to
purchase some good lot to begin with. We hope
another season will not be suffered to pass without
the erection ola School House. Shall we have Stores
and Churches multiplied, but no School Houses?
The plan Of anticipating during one year the ap-
portionment of next is Objectionable and
we hope will not be continued. We are in favor of
investing sthe teachers funds until such time as
good school house can be finished, when we shall /
advocate keeping up schools throughout the year.
We hope the Directors will collect the unpaid taxes
immediately and that the winter will not be suffer-
ed to pass without such arrangements as shall Sc
cure the completion of House and the opening of
different departments of common school BIZ the
LIST of November.

Herald left the Plover man-os-war, to
winter in Behring's Straits. The Plover

The Secretary goes into statement of the extra
ordinary expenses consequent upon the Mexican
war, the sums since paid under treaty stipulatons
with that government, and the dimnuton of rev.
cnue from sales of public lands in consequence
OF the issue of so large amount of land-warrants
to prove that the estimated deficit of july 1st 1850
and OF July lst, 1851, amounting to Srs,3752l4 49,
would not have occurred hut for these extraordina-
ry sources Of expense. He infers that the credit of
the united states Will not be endangered by the fact
That IN this position OF affairs new loan will be
required. Accordingly he recommends the issue
OF STOCK or treasury notes, at rate OF interest not
exceeding six per cent. to meet this deficit.
ihe Idr!6.-The greater part of the Report is
taken up in a labOred argument in favor of Tariff
Tor protection, and return to specific duties. As
the arguments in favor of prote cion have been ex
hausted again and again, we do not consider it

WGrehonsing System.-Upon this subject the fol-
lowing are Mr. AIeredith's conclusions:
From the returns made to this department and
the quarterly statements published, it is believed IN
be apparent that the operation Of the warebouc;,r
act has not been benefciay felt in the general bus
ness OF the country, and that its practical oreraton
is return TO the system of credit upon duties un-
der new name and form.

ing is submitted to Congress. Irthat BODY should

Lastly, the Secretary calls The attention of Con-
gress to California, follows:
The mineral resources of our recently ACQUIRED
possessions in California, have opened an extern
sivc field for the development of American enter
prise. Some thousands OF our countrymen in the
pursuit of profitable labor and advantageous COM
merce, have found their way thither; and already
vast regions, heretofore unpeoped and UNEMPLOYED,
are contributing to the metallic wealth Of the world
Constituting as they now do portion of our Ter
ritory, it is due to fellow citizens who inhabit
them, that their industry and enterprise should be
cherished by wholesome laws.
First in importance, as respects its commercial
and financial bearing, the establishment of branch
of the Mint OF the United states at San Francisco is
recommended. Next, the erection of light houses
on head-lands, and beacon lights and buoys to con-
duct vessels into the principal ports and harbors
Third, the establish ment of marine hospital. An
tcipating the favorable action of Congress the
subject of the establishment of lights, beacons, and
buoys, instructions have been given to the officer
directing the operations of the coast survey, to
cause such examinations and reports to be made as
may be necessary to determine upon the appropri-
ate locations for such structures.
