THE TEACHERS VOIcE.-We have perused the contents
of this State organ of public educational interests and
can heartily ask for it the patronage and fostering inter-
est Of parents and teachers. There is great
in the number, and wonder that the editor did not
it and call attention to it. None of the feminine ee-
ment is mingled with its spirit or suggestions. As fe-
males are by nature best fitted to teach and best quaf-
ed to appreciate the ways and means, besides exceg in
the conversational style best adapted for entertaining,
while it nsructs the reader-we hope the mothers and
female teachers will contribute to the ''Voce" They
have besides interests to represent and should speak for
themselves.

regard to getting up Free Soil ticket After having paid
the printer for printing the tickets in Greensborough N
Carolina, the editor told if he did the job his press
should be blown up in three hours. This frightened him.
Many did go to the election that account, in this
county, and who did go did not vote, had met
with many disappointments. Could we have got our
tickets in due season, Hale would have got strong ma
jority in precincts The election to which went

GLAD TO HEAR 1--WE understand
that one oil the prominent reasons for
starting the new Locoioco paper in this
city, OF which FLOOD & Co., are TO be the
editors, is to defend and sustain the pres

which the Statesman has made, directly
and indirectly, upon it, and the aid snd
comfort il gave that portion OF tho Calho.
IioS who made war upon the school sys.
TEN last spring, have excited decided
leolng against il IN the minds of The hon.
est portion OF the Democracy, who regard
the system Of common schools as OF es
sental value TO item and their children.
The new paper will defend the law and its
friends against these attacks. and in this
il will meet with hearty response and
cooperation from the most valuable aud
Subsla tiai portions OF lis party, and will
secure the sympathy and good wishes oil
all others, We confess we witnessed the
course Of the Statesman with SURPRISE
We perfectly comprehended its design.
There are certain Irish Catholics who
war against the school system, and that
paper pandered 10 this class for the base
purpose oil getting their influence and
their votes We presume il has accom-.
