down Tor fear the furnace would cool before they
could catch him. But Shadrach, not knowing how
anxious President Fillmore was that he should
come back, Kept on running, and never noticed the
proclamation whereupon the President took 1t IN
high dudgeon, and thought he would Immediately
take some steps stop the sloping o! the darEies;
accordingly he sends an extra message to congress,
modestly suggesting if they would only give hun
the power. he would summarly, and without warn

peI every one to obey the fugitive slave law, ana
10 assist in recognizing Shadrach, and to shoot
down Neshach and Abednego, if they looked on
and see another Shadrach run away But it must
have been very huniliating to his aecideney when
he learned the answer which came from both the
majority and the minority OF the Judiciary Com.

the chairman, from the pine regions of Maine,

Mr. Butler, the representative of rice and cotton,
from the state of chivalry and South Carolina made
minority report, which denied the right OF the
President to use any such power before procla-
nation had been issued, and denounced the re-
quest as at war with the spirit of the age and the
dictates of humanity. He goes on to say "that he
has no right to call upon the military to assist IN
the execution of any law, until the prerequisites Of
the act of '95 had been complied with'-'that this
provision" in regard to proclamation "was sane

Eag- The EXAMINATION of the School in the
North Ward came off last week on Tuesday, We'd.
nesday, and Thursday 1t was well attended by
large number of Gentlemen who are interested III
the work of Education.
1t was indeed encouraging to the interest
manifested in the progress and attainmcnts OF the
scholars by their parents and friends We took
the pen, however, to say something about the ac-
.,ual facts as they exist in the School This Exam
ination, let it be understood was not got up af-
fair for the occasion; it is just such an exhibition
as can be at any time when one is disposed
10 drop into the school room We have seen eXhi-
billions of scholars, when the boy not present
who was to answer the next question: and great
deal of confusion and trouble was the consequence
but no such trouble existed here-the scholars
were there and ''they posted" and ques-
ton asked in any of the studies (by any one) was
answered We have not time to go through eve
ry study and point out the particular exceences
of each class pupil, but must be permitted tc
say in gross, that we were agreeably disappointed
in the readiness and manifest acquaintance dis
played in the studies by all the scholars;--wc wish
however to be minute enough to mention a class in
practical arithmetic, who did themselves great hon.
or and their teacherno small credit for the prompt
ness and ability displayed, also a class in Phi
losophy. The class in Chemistry acquitted them
selves admirably, and gave convincing proof tina
they had been stNdyiag the Science.
A class in reading, also, who gave us the sounds
of letters and the analysis and definition of words
afforded us no small qualification at the attainment
made in this branch of Phiology
On Thursday, at the examination of the Gram
mar and Algebra classes, We were unable to b,
present, but "wc sent a hand" who reported tina
the class in Algebra were meek and neck with
class in District No. /, and we know that that elias
cannot be beat by sophomorcs.
Wednesday afternoon in listening 70 the reading
ofthe paper called the "North Ward Star" which
was written by the pupils and read by the Editor
chosen from their own number. The production
were very crcditable and far surpassed any thin;
we had right to expect Of pupils whose time 70
attending school had been so limited, as the mos
of theirs had been.
In conclusion we only wish to express our hope
that the district board will never be less fortunate
than at present in the selection of their teachers
principals and assistants.
