EDUCATION IN OREGON

On behalf of the Trustees of Tualatin Academy
and Clackamas Co. Female Seminary OREGON Tv
would thank the friends and donors to these nstiu
lions for their sympathy and aid afforded me in my
efforts for the same, during the last six months We
are thus enabled to continue and improve both oul
schools for time longer We still need annual help
and in view of this, the Lawrence ST. Church s.
School, Lawrence, Mass, have promised to send us
sixty dollars yearly for the support of teacher in our
Seminary. The S. School at Woburn Centre adopt
ing the suggestion, will send fifty yearly, for five
years. 1t is hoped that other s Schools will do the
same thing. 1t is significant and suggestive fact,
that the Jesuit missions of the world are supported by
the weekly penny contributions of the papsts chiefly
of France We have about thirty such priests in
Oregon among the Indians and whites sustained thus
doubt not their Female Semnaries are supported by
the regular contributions. The first fact was
given me by Jesuit Priest who receives his funds
yearly from Lyons, raised as he told me by penny
gifts They are wise to plan and execute, and de.
mand respect and admiration for their jealous ex-
erons, not only in Europe, but in ennniry.-
10 sustain and extend the papacy Let us learn of
those who have been longer in the field than ourselves
1t is we'll known fact that the educational institu-
tons of our new settlements cannot be sustained by
the pupils. Hence we have Collegiate and heoog-
ca Education Society to aid such institutions for the
present, and until funds be secured But no such
provision has been made for Female Semnaries.
These decline and cease for want of annual help for
their support chiefly of teachers. This is the danger
with ours at Oregon City while the papal is Wig
orously sustained. Unless agency shall be
found to meet this want of the West only we but
the whole country must suffer forever. Female
Seminary to educate female teachers is one of the
mightiest agencies for the good of the country Its
neglect of the most deplorable evils. We ask for
aid now, and for a few years A lady at Nashua,
n H., agrees to pay the $40 tuition of pupil year
W in Seminary VIII others do the same! We
prefer, if both cannot be had the annual aid for teach
ers, it accomplishes more 10 sustain teacher at
5000, than fifteen pupils at $40 eazh. We will re-
ply and report TO any association, individual from
whom may receive aid Send to my address,
Oregon City, Oregon Ty., and designate the institu-
ton to which the money shall be applied

Public Opinion.

Public opinion is in the main, composed of the ag-
gregate of private opinion. One thousand persons
entertain homogeneous sentiments upon particular
subject. Their private individual opinions subsan-
tally agree. These persons brought into sympahet-
ic relations with each other not only entertain the
same views in outline, but they are filled up with
stronger coors and the reaction of thought and feel
ing through the mass, tends to engender excitement
and sometimes extravaganza. But the foundation of
any considerable movement in the mass, must, after
all be the private conviction of the individuals. Now
individuals not always very careful to examine in
10 the validity of their convictions They not on
ly sometimes unable to gire for the opinion
they hold, but they possibly, utterly destitute OF
any such reason This being the case, it is well
sometimes, if not always, to examine well the ground
upon which any popular nation stands, before give
in our adhesion TO it. Judgment should not be
waited by the conagion of sympathy, agitated by
the throes of passion 1t should in the private ndi-
Vidual, be clear, independent and just That which
is approved by large majority, and becomes tenet
in the creed of the public deserves careful attention
and is not to be rejected because it is popular, is
it to be received implicitly because it is backed up
by the ''people" man should not isolate himself
and cultivate singularity but he should maintain an
intrepid spirit that can, every proper occasion, stem
the popular current and preserve state of feeling
both tranquil and Independent.

! w find the following notice of the Rhode Islanc
decision on their new Liquor Law, in the Greenfield
Courier We commend il to our readers
MAINE LiouoR LAW UNcoNsrTuTIoNAL-E Editor.
Of GaSeffe and Courier Il saw in your paper of the
Sd inst, an article headed The Rhode Island (MaineN
Liquor Law decided Unconstitutional. The article
purported TO be taken from the "Dailv Republican "
was surprised that the Republican paper which is
very well edited and is generally reliable should sui:
fet such an article TO escape from their Office The
conclusion TO which the Republican arrives is not ms.
titled by the decision in that case; but is a word nj
encouragement in the of the enemies of the Maine
Law in this State, and urging them to be of pood
cheer. Now what the case tried and what was
the decision. William II. Green of New York.
claimed to be the owner Of considerable quantity of
intoxicating liquors deposited in Providence and that
Nathaniel M. Briggs, ct all held possession of them
unlawfnliy. The plaintiff brought his repleven and
iify nnaar.a anlain. ,aada and GER
tain proceedings had before magistrates in ProYdenceS
10 the record thus Plead the plaintf demurs and the
court decided the complaint insufficient. The Judges
decided the order of forfeiture invalid because there
was sufficient complaint" The complaint being
insufficient, a matter of course rendered all after
proceedings void, alb iniho. The court having dec-
ded the complaint insufficient, all further enquiries
were at an end If the complaint is void all proceed
gS hau lnereOn are cor am non 1udice. The Judges
say the complaint is defective because the accused
not informed of the and cause of his
satol." And second, because of the ''want of GER
tainty in specifying the liquors to be seized" All
other points decided in the case were ertra jldicial
and not binding on that court or any other wond-
err how the Republican should suppose the court dec
ded the Rhode Island law violation of the Consttu-
ton of the United States. am unable to learn from
any report Of that that the Constitution of the
United States at all discussed or considered on
that trial. The Constitution of Rhode Island was verv
fully and unnecessarily discussed. Alusons were
made usages before the Constitution was adopted
Even the ghost of the old charter Of Charles The Second
was called up from the TASTY deep of the Dorr rcJeioa
and was invoked to testify to the crahed privileges en-
joyed under its suspicious reign The old charter
having had the benefit of airing and performed its
mission was permitted to return to Its owly abode
The conclusion of the Republican, "I'he Maine Liq-
uor Law, so called, must be dbdndOned," is not iust
fed by this decision, and the liquor law of Massachu
sets is necessarily affected That the Maine law
of Massachusetts will retain its principal features and
have abiding influence and increasing usefulness in
the Commonwealth, have no doubt.
