"a Charity sehoo, OF Ar,.toeraey."


New Hampshire is great State. She has a
granite rock in her soil She hugs the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency to her bosom she
cherishes IN her heart the spirit Of religious iatOls-
rance; and she declares the noble United States
Military Academy, at West Point, ga, charity
school of aristocracy." There are thirty-one
States composing the American Union. In way
ward and intolerant New Hampshire alone is
there constitutional provision establishing re-
ligious test. Redeemed spirits of the Pilgrims
by the "May Flower" let your tears descend
from on high to wash away this foul stain upon
the fundamental law of poor unprogressiye and
erring New Hampshire!
On the 30th Of June, 1843, the Senate and
House of Representatives of New Hampshire
adopted report strongly condemnatory of the
West Point Military Academy, and it was trans
mitted to the Senate of the United States to be
laid before that body. In this report, the famed
institution is styled "a charity school of aristo-
cracy." This patriotic and dignifed paper closes
with the following resolution:
/" Resol0ed By the Senate and House of Rspresen-
tatiues in General Court con0ened, That the Mill
tary Academy at West Point is undeserving OF
our further patronage and support, and our SEN
ators in Congress are instructed, and our Repre-
sentatives are requested, not only in future to
vote against all appropriations for the support Of
the aforesaid institution, but to vote for and use
their efforts to have the same abolished"
What will the gallant West Pointers and
the friends of that renowned Academy say to
thiss Recollect, Franklin PIERCE the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, halls from narrow
minded, contracted, unenviable New Hampshire.
The Union and Horace Greeley.
The Union Of yesterday copies for the second
or third time what purports to be an extract of a
letter from the editor of the New York Tribune
said to have been written some years ago. The
extract is subjoined:
"Send delegate to the convention, if you can,
for Clay; if not for Clay, for Corwin; if not for
Corwin, for Seward if not for Seward for Tay-
lor. But last of all for Scott Scott is a vain,
conceited, coxcomb of man. His brains, all
that he has, are in his epauets; and if he should
be elected President, he would tear the Wing
party into tatters in less than six months"
This is "spurious coin," and we :" nail it to
the counter" Upon its first appearance in print,
the editor of the Tribune declared he had no re-
collection of ever having written such letter,
and called through his columns for its produc-
ton. The letter never was produced, and Mr..
Greeley has again and again pronounced it a
Roorback-a forgery. The mendacous scribbler
for the Union, by referring to his own columns,
win see the denial of the authorship of the letter
on the part of Mr.. Greeley.

DOn,t throw away Your Votes.

What an awful calamity it will be if our votes
should not come out of the ballot box on the win
ming side. And what great numbers of us run
the risk of losing our votes. Just reflect. There
are no less than six candidates in the field for
the Presidency, aAd only one to be chosen, and
every man who don't vote for the winning one is
going to throw away his vote. Awful ! Proba-
bly, the successful candidate will be in q large
minority of the popular vote, so that an absolute
majority of the voters will have thrown away
their votes. Can't this calamity be averted in
some way? Can't we all 60 for Scott, or Pierce,
or Hale, or some one else, and all save our votes7
Think of it Scott men; think Oft Pierce men
if your candidate should happen to be defeated,
you have lost every vote you cast and there is
no remedy. Be wise in time then. Every body
90 for somebody. No odds whether you like
hm or not-no difference if his principles are as
opposite to yours as night to day. don't lose your
vote. Throw away your principles
away yourself-throw away every thing of val
ue but be sure that the little slip Of paper called
a ballot You putt the box comes out on the win
ming side, for what does truth, and right, and
virtue amount to, compared with success.
Reader, in the above we have given you a fair
sample, of the arguments addressed to the Free
Democracy to keep them from throwing away
their votes.
We have supposed that parties nominated can
didates to avoid the necessity of throwing away
their votes on men who did not represent them ;
and we supposed Hale was nominated to give
those who dislike the Baltimore platforms a
chance to embody their sentiment in opposition,
but these philosophers evidently think that can
didates are dominated only to get office, and if
they don't get that every thing is lost. Now we
suppose that man who knows enough to be
free soiler knows too much to be influenced by
such efforts, therefore we drop the subject

Public Instruction.

The State Superintendent in holding Teac h.
ers Institutes, in the different counties of the
State, assists in organizing county associations,
composed of teachers and the friends of educa-
ton. The first object of these societies Is TO
promote and encourage the cause of education
ineach county as well as in the mutual improve
ment Of the teachers. 1t is also contemplated
that this association will be auxiliary TO the
State teachers and friends of education Associ-
alton, to be organized at Madison during the
month Of January next. As each county asso-
citation is under the direction gifts local officers,
so will the State Association be subject TO such
rules and regulations as may be adopted by its
members hen assembled.
tits hoped that all friends TO the cause OF ed
ucation will contribute to the accomplishment of
this desirable object thereby ensuring system
attic and permanent orgnniZotion throughout the
whole state-Ninsral Point Tribune.

~ Stare Catching Commissioner, II. X.
Smith was sent for from Buffalo to visit Mil
waukee during the season of the Fair and ad-
ress the Old Hunker Slave Propagatlng De-
mocracy. 1t was supposed that he was very
suitable individual, as he was the thing which
adiudged the 50 called fugitive Daniel to eternal
slavery. and threatened to SHOOT all that should
attempt to resist his being carried back to bond
age. But notwithstanding that Milwaukee was
full to Overlooking with people, he could not get
an audience of 100. We saw him on the boat re-
turning to Buffalo, and muttering grievous things
that he had to come 50 far and speak to Vac"-
um. The estimate Of the number was given us
by resident of this city who was personal
friend Of Smith, and present at the meeting.

1JThe following notice of Judge Douglass
address before the Milwaukee Democracy, we
copy from Pierce & King paper the editor of
which was present at the time:
But was ashamed, disguised, and heart-sick
The speech was characterized by the lowest de-
magogueical, partizan scandal. | was ashamed,
because from his position, expected something
manly from him. He aSpired to the Presiden-
tia Nomination, got II arIy one hundred votes
in Convention, and for the honor Of humanity
and our country, such man when he addresses
the people upon elections ought to address tie
reason, the conscenuousness and the ennobng
principles of our nation. But instead Of this,
the speech was full of the lowest party slang
Not a manly sentiment was uttered. Not a
ihoght was given adapted to make men wiser or
better-nothng to lift up the aspirations for pro-
gress and social Improvement Not single at
tempt to rsaSon-to show the fallacy of Wing
principles 1t was wholly personal trade a
gainst Wings and the Wing party. 1t is true
that the Wings are obnoxious to q great share Of
this, but it should be left to the common loafers
and gutter poticans-it is too degrading for the
soul TO endure, when United States Senator,
and prominent asprant for the chief Office OF
the nation, cclipses them all in this particular

THE MEETING ON MONDAY.

Hon. John p. Hale addressed our citizens on
Monday night at the Baptist church. Notwith-
standing the torrents ofrain which poured with
out cessation the house was damned full. Ii
he had been able to have reached here at the ap-
pointed hour in the afternoon, no building could
have contained The crowds. He spoke very hap
ply and conyncingly to the crowd that had as
samblcd, and his bittcrest foes were disarmed OF
their prejudces, and acknowledged his candor,
ability and truth. 1t was so unlike the gassy
and frothy speeches Of their own demagogues,
that they are about struck dumb. The Demo-
crat undertakes to disparage it; this was exPec-
ted. Thai sheet would attempt to blacken the
character of Gabriel himself if his name should
be mentioned in any connection but with the
Hunker democracy.
