1t wounds itself by the blows it inhiets upon
the country.
Thus, the whig administration of 1852
has furnished other instances of whig incapa-
city and wing corruption. The catastrophe
which Mr.. Tyler arrested has been consum
mated under the administrations of TAYLOR
and Fillmore. The measures into which
wing principles will shape themselves, when
allowed full scope, were enacted by the whig
Congress of l841242-the acts in which a
wing administration Will indulge may be
eW by reference to the conduct of the pres
dynasty. The re-eharte~ of national
the ena ment of prohibitive tariff,
and the passage of bankv~* law, illustra-
ted the legislative wisdom she whig party
their administrative capacity and honesty
are exemplifed in the Galphin swindle, the
Texas proclamation, the Cuban massacre, and
the Nicaragua negotiation. No other meas
ure OF Whis selicy, no other act of wing mis-
rule, Is wanting to establish the fact of whig
corruption and incapacity, and to insure the
indignant rejection by the people of the claims
of the wing party to political power
These, then, are the achievements of the
wing party. They have crept into power by
fraudulent devices; they have perverted their
ill-gotten power to the detrimcnt and disgrace
of the nation; they have enacted bankrupt
laws, prohibitive tariffs, and national banks
they have tamely submitted to the insults and
indignities of foreign powers, and in negotia
ting with despots havecompromised the right,
of America; they have suffered European
nations to intermeddle in the political affair,
of this continent, and therein have surren
dcred the lofty position of James Monroe
they have stimulated the vengeance of the
tyrant against unfortunate American citizens
they opposed recognition Of the independ
ence of texas and its annexation to the Tn
ion; they opposed the war of 1912 and thu
war of 1916; they opposed the acquisition o
+ New Mexico and California; they opposed
the acquisition of Louisiana and the purchas
of Florida in every issue between the Uni
ted States and foreign nations they gave ali
and comfort" to the enemy by resisting tn
f claims of their country; they have connive
at the plumber Of the public treasury, an
q have shared the spoi IS amongst themselves

and honor Of this great country? Do the

to possession of about 81 $50, 900, which
sum had not been touched up to the period
of his death. The deceased was never

The Treasured Ringlet.

am thinking how one April eve,
Upon the old arm chair
/ sat, and how tondly played
With this brown lock Of hair;
Your head was pillowed on my breast,
Your eyes were fixed on mine,
knew your heart was all my own,
knew my own was thine.
The balmy breath of vioIets
Came floating in the room,
And mingling with the roses sigh,
Spread round rich perfume;
Yet sweeter was the warm breath which
felt upon my cheek
Than fragrance from the 5Iushing rose,
Or from The violet meek.
Upon the oak, the mocking-bird
Was singing loud and clear,
Bur notes more musical 10 me
Were falling on my ear;
For from your noble heartyo poured
Loves low, yet thrilling tone,
And every word your pure soul breathed,
Was answered by my own.
How like a glorious rainbow then,
The future all appeared
No care or sorrow then we knew,
No disappointment feared
The worlds rude waves had not begun
Across our path to sweep:
We never-save from happiness
Had ever cause to weep.
But many weary years have passed.
ince that bright April eve,
And you have learned since then to weep,
And | have learned TO grieve;
And thy brow, unfurrowed then,
Time, and his sister, Care,
Have set their wriukled seal, and strewed
Their silver in thy hair.
Nor Time, nor Care, nor worlds rude wave
Have had the power to chill
The holy love which then we vowed,
Thar is unclouded still;
And, until Death-tbe reaper-comes,
1t meier shall flow away
Ourride Of love which first began
Upon that April day.

1t is a standing question Who killed
Tecumseh? The Philadelphia Evening Post
says: owe know not how many individuals
have claimed the honor of this deed. But,
like many other mysteries, the cloud of sp-
plicants only increase the darkness. Col.
Skinner, down in Texas, has recently put in
a claim. Hear him:

The question then is considered settled.
REDUCING THE FINE.-An Irish weaver
Just imported from the sister Isle, took his
employer Kilmarnock, the other day, the first
cloth he had woven since his arrival.
His employer detected in the cloth two
holes, within half an inch of each other,
and told him he must pay fine of one shil-
ling for each hole
"And place ye," returned, "is it by tho
number of holes, or is it by the size of them
that We put the fine on US %
"By the number of holes, to be sure"
"And big hole and a small one is the
same price

big or little"
"Then give me hold of the piece, re-

and exclaimed, "by the hill of Howth that

OUR PUBIc SCHOOLS.

Never, since the organization of the present
Sdnlirab BILE system of public schools in the late
Second Municipality, now First District, have
{ the schools opened for the season under more
favorable auspices at least in regard to the
spirit manifested by the public, and the mum,
Der Of scholars in attendance. The schools
have not yet been open a month, and the nun.
] Der Of scholars exceeds by far that of any Other
season, even in mid winter. This is a crafty
Ing fact to those who have labored and continue
1 " tabor IN advancing the cause of public edu-
Il cation but at the same time, there are disad
\ rantages under which the schools are laboring
whichs should deserve and should at once re
ceive the attention Of the City Council. The
appropriation for the schools Of this District, for
the current year, is altogether too small
lsoonomy in corporations is a virtue, which
Y When met with, is promiscously Landed, but
there are cases wherein it is not virtue. Let
there be economy in all things, but let not
small amount Of money be weighed against the
cAhse Of public education
Since the present Board of Schoo, Directors
for the First District was organized, they have
1 been constantly studying economy and retrench-
ment. Teachers salaries have been cut down
two important schools merged into one, and
little expenses. which were before looked upon
I - contingent and necessary, have been de-
clared superfuous. The number of teachers has
been reduced, while at the same time the num-
Der OF scholars has, as we have already stated
increased. In many of the schools, the number
! of scholars under the charge of the teachers is
90 great, that injustice is done to both parties
70 those who have carefully watched the public
schools, it is plain that the combination of the
Jackson and Washington schools has proved
detrimental In many respects; not only that
full Justice cannot be done to all the scholars
but that the crowded state of the rooms is ex-
tremely prejudicial to health.
70 GO back to the appropriation for the sup
port Of the publich schools; notwithstanding
eli the efforts Of the Board of Directors at re.
trenchment, and the injustice done to the cause
they have failed by several thousand dollars to
bring the expenses actually necessary to the
maintenance of the schools, within the prescribed
limits The reduction in salaries, and other
Items, already amounts to about $4,000 for the
scholastic year, and yet there is deficit OF
about $4,000. II is generally conceded that the
