Mrs. Stowe IN GLAsGow.-The recep-
ton of Mrs. Stowe in England and Scotland
has been one of the most enthusiastic and
triumphant demonstrations of public regard
ever bestowed upon any woman of America,
or any other country, by the British people,
unless princess of royal blood, or an heir
apparent to throne. She was everywhere
welcomed; in the palace and in the cottage.
On her way from Liverpool to Glasgow, the
railway stations were crowded by multitudes,
anxious to gain sight of the distinguished
authoress. AS an example of the intense in
terest of the people an incident may be men
toned Soon after the arrival of Mrs. Stowe
in Glasgow, she visited the cathedral, and by
request registered her name in book, kept
for the entry ofnames ofvisitors and strangers
When she had retired, thousands flocked to
see the autograph of Mrs. Stowe
The foreign correspondence of the New
York Independent, gives a full and interest
ing account of the public meetings at Glas-
gov, also the speeches of the distinguished
persons present, as reported in English jour
nails We have only room for summary
paragraph:
On the evening Of the 18th, the great
soiree was given at Glasgow, in honor of Mrs
II. Beecher Stowe. Two thousand persons
were present, hundreds of whom had taken
their place an hour, at least, before the pro
ceilings commenced Mr.. Mcdowell of Glas-
gov, presided. After tea, Rev. DR.. Ward
law moved the first resolution welcoming
Mrs Stowe to Glasgow, and including in the
welcome, Rev. G.. L. Stowe. W.. is.
DIR. Robson seconded this resolution
Professor Stowe returned thanks. On rising
he was received with great cheering.
A hymn was then sung, after which, the
Times report says, "Tho authoress of Uacic
Tom rose, and bowling her Acknowledgements
to the audience, was conducted from the hail
amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of
respect, the company standing, and the ladies
waving their handkerchiefs" Rev. DR.. King
next proposed resolution condemnatory OF
Slavery, which was duly agreed to. Rev.
Edward Beecher and other speakers address
ed the meeting, which was prolonged toa late
hour. Next evening Mrs. Stowe attended
soiree Of the Glasgow working-classes
From Glasgow she proceeded to Eednburgh,
and thence would journey ia London.

SCHOOL QUESTION IN NEW YORK.

The subject of the division of the School
Fund has been recently brought before the
Legislature of the State of New York. The
question came up on petitions from Roman
Catholic citizens of the cities of New York
Utica Syracuse, Oswego, &c, praying for the
passage of a law, granting to the Catholic
population of the State its proportional share
of the School Fund The petitions were re-
ferred to a committee of the House of AS.
sembly, which committee made an elaborate
report, going into full history of the School
Fund, and the constitutional provisions in re-
spect to it. The report is quite too long for
our columns we only give the concluding
paragraphs. 30
The genius of our institutions is pre-eml-
nently that of universal religious liberation,
and it should never be overlooked for mo-
ment, in our legislation upon the manage
ment of the Common Schools of the State
hence, by granting the prayers of these petit
tions, we recognize the principle that each
one of the organized sects or religious demo-
limitations in this State, may establish their
schools and be entitled to share of the Com
mon School Fund for their support. Grant
| ing this privilege to one sect, would open the
door for applications for every sect and de-
nomination in the State and in view of Their
number, the conflicting and contradictory ma
ture of their tenets, We should regard as sui
cidal the attempt to embrace them in the sys-
tenn of our Common Schools, or sustain them
by its funds.
Grant the prayer of these petitioners, and
floodgate of ruin is opened upon our Com
mon School system which future legislation
would hardly be able to restrain for under
our system of religious liberation, no resting
place would be found until our magnificent
School Fund was subdivided among every
denomination in the State, from the ancient
and venerable establishment of the Roman
| Catholic Church, down to the conventicles of
the spiritual mediums of these latter times.
The effects of fractionizing our School
Fund among religious denominations, seems
to your committee, to be easily calculated
Hence your committee should regard the first
step of the Government in that direction with
the utmost anxiety and alarm, as fatal blow
struck at the prosperity and utility of sys-
tenn of primary education, which has already
become the pride of the State and the won
der of the age. Your committee unanimous
ly present the following resolution, and re-
commend its passage :
Resoloed, That the prayers of the petition
ers should not be granted.

WoNAN's COOP GovERNMENT-The Rev
Theodore Parker has published sermon in which
he thus speaks in behalf of Woman's Rights
Looking at the matter of Expediency, see some
facts. Suppose woman had share in the NUM-
cipa regulations of Boston, and there were as ma
ny Aiderwomen as Aldermen, as many Common
Council women as Common Council men, do YOU
believe that, IN defiance of the laws of Massachu-
setts, the city government would last spring have
licensed every two hundred and forty-fourth person
OF the population of the CITY to sell intoxicating
drink?-would have made every thirty fifth voter
q rum-seler! i do not.
Do you believe the women of Boston would
spend ten thousand dollars in one year in a city
frolc, or spend two or three thousand every year
on the Fourth of July, for sky rockets and fire.
crackers would spend four or five thousand dol
lars to get their Canadian guests drunk, in Boston
harbor, and then pretend that Boston had not mo-
ney enough to establish high school for girls, to
teach the daughters of mechanics and grocers to
read French and Latin, and to understand the high
er things which rich mems sons are driven to at
college? l do not.
To this the Milwaukee Wisconsin. thus res
ponds:
" But the point is, would not woman become
brutalized and indurated as man does, by being
brought into constant contact with the hard world
A masculine woman is generally destitute of feel
vast influence over man. Take that gentleness
away (which the worlds rough contact would and
she would be shorn of her beauty as we'll as of her
power to do good" -
And to this we beg leave to respond, as follows:
Why not carry out your principle, Mr.. Wiscon-
sin, and for the purpose of more etfectually pro-
tecting Females, prevent the commingling of the
sexes under any circumstances: the ball room for
instance, the social party the school, the church,
the public conveyance, SC. Why will you permit
women and girls to encounter these dangers?
word in your ear, good bachelor friend. In
asmuch as this harshness on the part of the world
or the male sex, as you mean-is not manifest
in the ball room, social circle, &C.. is it not barely
possible that being manifest where woman is alb
sent, it is because of such absence? Did you ever
think of that? 9l
Our philosophy is this. That which is ntrins-
cally bad neither men women have any right to
engage in, whilst that which is intrinsically good
is very proper for both And if there be any thing
good in itself which is rendered harsh and disagree
able, by harsh and disagreeable persons having it
in charge, let caven their harshness and restore
them to decency, by introducing to them in that
department, the amiabty and tenderness, and &c
morally refining influence of woman.

"We don't intend to admit, and never In
tended to intimate, that the Locofoco party
in this State had done as the Wing party
would have done that the Wings would
have managed the Northern improvement as
the Locofocos have"
We take the above from long article in
the Bcloit Journal, in which the transcendent
merits of Whiggery are set forth at some
length. We wish simply to ask, what our
Wing friends expect to accomplish by such
transparent CANNON. What good reason is
there for supposing the Wings as Wings, or
as party, would manage the improvement
or any thing else, any better than the Loco
foeos, or any other body of men as party.
The Wings had control of the National Gov
eminent the last previous administration
Will the Journal say it was remarkably well
managed Who was the chief man in get
ting through the Legislature of so, the most
Objectionable bill ever passed with reference
to the improvement, and which the late Lo-
cofoco legislature repealed. Why, James Nc
Shafter, the Wing Speaker and the late Whig
candidate for Congress in the End district
How does the Journal reconcile this with its
idea of the Immaculate character of Wing
gerry
If reforms are needed in the ddmiaistra-
ton of Government, the people will find soon
er or later, that dependence on any party, ex-
clusively to accomplish it, will be frail de-
pendence. AS we view it, this dependence,
heretofore, is the great cause of existing evils.
The partisan has been elevated above the
man, and the consequence has been in all de-
partments of government, that as a general
thing we have had very good partisans and
very poor men in charge of affairs and
whilst the interests of parties have been care
| fully attended to, the public and general in
terests have been neglected. 1t don't follow
because a man hates slavery, that he can
| therefore set limb, nor because man adores
Frank Pierce, or believes in the divinity of a
protective tariff, that he can dig canal or
build a lock. So far as our observation en-
ables us to come to conclusions the men elect
ed to office, (what few there have been) as
independents" nine times out of ten, have
been found to be the best men for the place,
and for the very good reason, that having no
party strength to depend on, they of ncces-
sity had merit to attain success.
We pray for the time, when men will be
partisans only for the legitimate end of par
ties and that men who are looked to as guides
will not endeavor to impress the people with
such false ideas as this we copy from the Jour
nal When that time arrives, men will not
be selected for office primarily because they
can bawl the loudest at Wing, Locofoco or
Freesoil caucus but because they are sensi
bic, honest, candid men, with capacity es-
pecially for the duty they are expected to
perform. Then, and not till then, shall we
have Northern Improvements" as we'll as
other State interests, properly attended to.

approach of the train and saw the danger,
called out to the Engineer to stop, but their
warning was unheeded. On the Coroner

currently reported that the conductor told the
engineer to drive like hell through NorwaIk,
as two gentlemen wished to get out and he
did not wish to stop there.
