New-York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin
&c. will in the next Presidential Election
be found leading a compact and over
whelming opposition to any candidate VINO
may be nominated on the "nec National
Democratic Playorm-the framework o.
Southern Iire-odk."
We ask candid and intelligent men to
look the ground over and judge if we have
not rightly apprehended it. The sonces-
sions now asked of the Wing party of our
State, under the guise of approving the
Measures of Adjustment, are calculated to
deprive it of all moral power for the pres
ent, all ll-grounded hope for the imme-
date future. They are not merely wrong
in themselves, but certain to inure to the
signal advantage of our adversaries.-
Pass Mr.. Varnum's or any kindred re-
solves, and the Wing party of New York
is a shorn Samson and will soon be grind
ing in the mill of the Philistines for many
a weary year. The thing cannot be.

Mr., Hale ought to have known better; for
case in point occurred in his own State, and he
himself now occupies the very seat which was
once refused. In June, 1873, CHARLES CUrTs,
held the temporary appointment of Senator under
commission of Gov. PLUNER, recently deceased.
Immediately on the assembling Of the Legisla.
ture Of that State, DR.. JOHN GODDARD of Ports
mouth was elected to supersede him, which he
peremptOrily refused JEREMIAH Mason was
subsequently elected, and Mr.. Cuts held his seat
till Mr. Mason appeared in the Senate chamber

Goddard and Mason were chosen by the Legisla-
ture. For proof, see Nilss's Register, vol. iv,

Free Schools.

We publish to-day the Report and Bill
submitted to the Assembly by Mr.. T. H.
BENEDICT from the Committee on Educa-
ton, embodying the conclusions of major
ity of that Committee, in favor of raising
100000 by State Tax toward the annual
cost of maintaining our Common Schools
and supplying the residue of their cost by
a Poll-Tax. Mr.. BURROUGHS, from the
minority of that Committee, it is well
known, reported in favor of supplying the
deficiency by Rate-Bill in the old fashion.
We object to the Poll-Tax, believing
that the entire cost of maintaining Com
mon Schools is fair charge upon Proper
ty, and ought to be borne by Property, the
same as the expense of Courts, Police and
Prisons is; but if we must submit to one
of the two we greatly prefer the Poll-Tax
to the Rate-Bill. To the State Tax, we
have no objection, provided it is based on
a fair and equal Valuation of Property
throughout the State. In the absence of
such Valuation, change from County and
District to a State Tax for the support
of Schools would create more injustice
than it would remove. But let the State
Tax be fairly levied, and we cheerfulIy as
sent to it as means of removing obec-
lions and sustaining Free Schools. To
Rate-Bills, or the imposition of Tax es-
specially on the Parents of Children at
tending School-that is, to Tax to keep
Children out of School-wea are utterly OPP
posed, under any and all circumstances.
We trust the People of our State will
carefully and thOughtfully watch the pro-
gress of the discussion soon to commence
in the Assembly.

diction explained.

n The Express endeavors to mystify
the source of Mr.. Fish'S defeat, as fol-
lows
1--WE desire now to state again, that it was
in the power of Mr.. Fish's protested friends
to have elected him, independently Of Mr.
Beekman's vote. They could have carried the
election into Joint Ballot by voting differently
upon either of the two ballots, and in Joint sllot
he was sure of an election. Let, therefore, the
anathema fall on other men as well as on him
against whom so many presses are now railing
with sort Of hyena.lke ferocity."
Of course, if The Express counts itself
and its Silver Gray cronies among the
professed friends of Gov. Fish," the above
assertion is specifically true, but in any
case it is essentially false. Those 1cho no
minated Coz. Fish for Senator NEVER had
the pOtcer to elect him. The first Wing
Senator on the list is Mr.. BabcOck of Erie,
Silver Gray who had purposely kept
out of the Wing Caucus. On the second
ballot in the Senate, he was asked to vote
for Mr.. Granger, las Mr.. Beekman had
done on the first BALLOT so as to give the
true Wings a chance, by voting with him,
to nominate Mr.. Granger and thus obtain
a Joint Ballot. He refused. This put
nomination completely out of the power of
the Wing Members.
There is & truth at the bottom of the
EXPRESSES misrepresentation. Mr.. Beck
man was not alone in the movement to de-
feat the election of a Wing Senator.
Others, though afraid to strike, were just
as willing to wound He was the catspaw
of conspiracy which had its ramifcations
in Buffalo, New ork and Washington.
The People will understand it, and allot to
Mr.. Beekman only his Just share of the
condemnation.

The KING OF THE PorAToEs.-We received on
Saturday afternoon, by the Georgia, the most re-
markable specimen of the potato tribe which has
ever been seen in this City. 1t was raised by MIR.
Henry Fuller, on his farm near Portland, Oregon,
and by him forwarded to Messrs Crane Rice
of the California Courier, who have transmitted
il TO us for presentation to the American Institute
in this City After the voyage OF 1000 miles 1t is
as fresh aud sound as if just dug from the earth.
The circumference of this monster potatois 23l
inches, and its weight 81 lbs. We should like to
see this beaten on The Atlantic side of the Rocky
Mountains.

To ne Editor Of The Tribune:
SIR: Your editorial on the Senatorla election
in which you speak of the melancholy picture
Mr. Vamum made OF himself &c. nisstates the
facts Mr. Varnum wished 70 make statement
before voting. He could only do this, under the
rules, by some motion. He accordingly moved to
postpone, and that being decided out OF order he
moved to be excused, and on this motion msde
his remarks, after which he withdrew the motion.
You represent him as having asked to De excused
and. after being refused that application, having
avowed bis determination TO vote tor MI ISM
The telegraphic report in another column oil tue
same paper told the true story but, as you stated
it incorrectly in your editorial columns producing
perhaps an unfavorable impression toward MI
V. it is to be presumed that you will In the same
columns correct it, as you would not wish TO mis-
represent him, Silver Gray as he is.

a Most certainly; we give the above
card with pleasure, and, if it improves
Mr.. Varnum's position in any ones esti-
nation, we are glad of it. Our eyesight
is not so good as it was, so that the differ

Wages ut Fall River-RepIy to a Mechanic.


Fall RIVER, Saturday, Feb 8, 1851.
H. GREELEY, EsQ.-Dear Sir: | notice in
YOUR paper Of the Sd inst. a communication from
"Workingman which bears rather heavily on
The Manufacturers of this place inasmuch as it
declares that the Operatives OF Fall River have
received less wages for performing the same
amount of work than any Operatives in this coun-
try or in England even previous to the proposed
reduction" Having had access to the books of
one of the Mills in this place, send you the fol-
lowing statement:
There were employed in this Nil in the month
of September, 1850, 90 spinners; ID of them
worked 23s 3-4 days on filling, and earnedon an av-
erage Ia cents and fraction per day. Ten others
worked 240 days W arp, and earned on an average
l24 cents and fraction per day. The last named
labored under some disadvantages, which have
since been removed
In the same month, there were employed 1873
Viewers, who worked 2,677 l-s days, and earned
1851 dollars, on an average OF 95 5l100 cents per
day, while the average for erery person employed
in the Mil, small and great, was a fraction over
a. cents per day.
II is no part OF my purpose to meet all the
misstatements in that communication, or to make
any comparison as to the amount paid for labor in
this, and other places But simply TO give the
above statement of facts, and call upon " w York
ingman" to produce his best MILL prove his state
ment or retraot his charge.
To assist him. will quote from pamphlet,
published by Mr.. Akin he says, In the two
largest and most extensive Cotton Mills of Man
chester, England, the average wages of all the
hands employ ed, was l2s per week, equal to
81 &c." Yours truly B.

Constitutional Right--Nsr,h and south,


The Courier and Enquirer has forci-
BILE leader on the relations of the Federal
Government to Slavery, from which we
make the two following extracts:
ION the day that we sailed for Europe, we
left on record in our columns December l, ls49,)
a solemn protest against the Wlmot Proviso as
unnecessary and unconstitutional; and unjust to
the South because, being both unnecessary and
unconstitutional it could have no other effect than
to irritate our Southern brethren in regard TO
subject upon which they were justly sensitive,
and with which the North had no right to med
de-" I'VE insisted, as we had for
twenty years, that Slavery is mere local insti-
tuition and that while it is the right Of the Gene
raj Government 10 preUeRt IT'S introduction INTO
any Of the free teTritory Of the UnlOn so soon as
that territory becomes organized into State, all
power Of the General Government and of the peo-
pie Of other States in regard to Slavery, ceases"
We have placed in Italics two affir-
nations which we are utterly unable to
reconcile with each other and with the no.
torious facts of the case. The Wilmot
Proviso was certainly nothing else than an
enactment by Congress that Slavery should
have no legal existence in the Territories
acquired from Mexico by the late War and
confirmed to US by the Treaty which ter
minated that War; and how that Proviso
can be unconstitutional" if it be las we
most certainly think it is) "he right oftte
General Government to prerent its Slave
rvs introduction into any ofthe Free Ter
ritory Of the Union," is quite beyond our
comprehension. We think many readers
of The Courier and Enquirer will be graft
fed, with US, to see this apparent contra
diction explained.

"In the beautiful and expressive language Of the Bible
The WnteT Of dscontenf gone; the rain Is and

voice Of the turtle is heard in our land"
Our Bowery boys will object to this decking
the Bible in plumes borrowed from the very FIRST
line of their favorite soliloqay. They haven't
eaten so many cords of peanuts in Mr. Hamblin's
pit for nothing You might stick them on a
quotation of real Scripture, but any of them would
have told Gov. Bell that the winter of our dis
content is from Booths crook back'd tyrant,'
Richard Duke of Gloucester, and nothing short
