We hope to be able to lay this law
before our readers next week. The
law is far from meeting with universal
favor. The Catholic portion of our cit
izens have organized against it, their
great aim being to bring about divis-
Ion OF the school fund, when they can
use their part Of the fund as seems to
them good. We trust the day is far
distant when this fund shall be divided
up and parcelled out among sectarians.
The law is likely to be the means of ag.
itating this controversy between Catho-
lie and Protestant during the coming
elections. There can be no doubt as
TO the result--the people Of Ohio will
never consent that this common fund
shall be divided. Medary, of the States.
man, denounces the law as despotic and
snti-republican. II is difficult to tell
exactly what he means, unless il is for
the purpose OF making political capital
he has not the honesty to take the Cath
olic side of the question boldly, but de-
nounces the law in general and un'
meaning terms.
A general condensation Of our schoo
laws was loudly called for, as well al
further legislation to render the system
more efficient, and lay the foundation
of structure that might be the pride
und glory Of the State hereafter. That tn,
law is perfect is what its friends will no
claim. IT received long consideration
by the Legislature; its provisions were
generally understood and were freely
discussed by the people of the State be
fore it became law-it was examined
and approved of by large and respec
table convention of teachers and friends
of education at Columbus last winter
all this is something in its favor, and
can hardly be possible that few phra
ses such as "despotic TO the last degree,
&C., is agoing to blind people TO tn,
real issue. If the law needs amending
there is a way TO do it, but let it be re-
membered that the present opposition Il
the law goes deeper and means more
fhe division of the fund.

OBITUARY.

DIED-In this town, on Monday
morning last, WILLIAM E. CLENDINEN
aged IA years.
The death of this interesting youth
adds another to the multitude OF proofs
with which the world is filled, that the
best and purest die young. Although a
mere child in years, and suffering con-
stantIy from the effects Of painful mall
ady, he had by his manly virtues alrea
dy secured the esteem Of all who knew
him; and the thoughtful consideration
and flial interest he always manifested
in the welfare of his widowed mother,
were the theme of universal commen-
dation. 1t might well be said of him,
"None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise"
May he who "iempers the wind to the
sborn lamb" sustain his afflicted parent
in her SORROW, with thai strength which
comes only fron his grace, and with
those hopes which only his promises
can inspire, Y.

her reputation for speed, by placing

TEE NKv SrEAn-BoAr Law

The New SrEAM-boAr LAW
Many of the river men are opposed
TO many of the provisions OF this
law. We find in one OF the Cinein-
natl papers the proceedings of a
meeting of Steamboat men held at
the Burnet House. Remarks were
made by Capts. JACK and FIsHzR,
condsmnatory Of the late Congress
sional enactment; when the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
ResolUed, That we regard the late
act of Congress, as impolitic, ridicu-
lous and unnecessary.
Resolved, That this meeting re-
commend to all Pilots on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers to consider the
law unjust and uncalled for, aud be-
yond their power of complying with
the same.
Resolced, That the law imposes
on Us responsibilities, which we are
unable 10 discharge and unwilling 10
meet.
Resolved, That the membranes
now attached to steamboats,. in the
shape Of life preserUers, life boats
and inspectors, are incompatible with
our skill as Pilots and Engineers, and
at war with our ideas Of humanity
and common sense.
On motion, the meeting adjourned
to meet at the Monongahela House
in Pittsburgh, on April lst, 1853.
The local board OF Inspectors ir
Cincinnati and other ports. have
in the discharge of their duty undel
the law, revoked licenses Of pilots foI
iniemperate habits.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.l
WASHINGTON, March 2s. 1853.

WASHINGTON, March %, 1853.
Mr.. Everett had the floor of the SEN
ate yesterday, on the affairs OF Central
America, Guatamala, Honduras, the
Mosquito Kingdom or Great Britain--as
the case may be-for there seems to be
divided dominion, or a sort Of Impe-
rio in EnperiHm, where the supreme au.
thority is in doubt. There is evidently
much doubt as to the government of the
country. 1t was generally understood
that Mr.. Everett was TO speak, and the
Senate was crowded by ladies' and gem
tlemen to hear the debate, or rather the
speech. Mr. Everett delighted the au-
dience by his eloquence and his knowl-
edge of the subject. He took the
ground that England had no exclusive
aim in opposition TO the general views
of this country. and that we need not
look for war, but for peace, in the future
negotiations, if we were disposed TO be
reasonable, as he and the country were
disposed to be.
He was highly complimentary to
Judge Douglas, and took it for granted,
that the Senator from Illinois was Of a
conservative disposition. The Judge,
in a few words, was disposed to unite
with Mr.. Everett in being willing TO do
every thing in season TO preserve the
pence between the two countries. Mr..
Mason, of Virginia, at this late period Of
the controversy, seemed disposed to
conciliate matters, by moving that the
whole subject be laid on the table for
the present, and for further action. This
motion was adopted by decisive ma
iority. OF course, the whole matter re-
mains over till the next session of Con-
gress.
The Gardiner case is perfect enig-
ma. Everything is in doubt. II is quite
problematical, whether there is in fac
any mine Of the kind described by DR.
Gardiner. The different commissions
which have been sent out for inquiry
are at issue. Nobody can predict how
the trial will end.
1t is supposed that the Senate will ad-
jourE next Monday, although they may
possibly sit till the middle oil next week.
