State Commissioner Of Common Schools.

State COmhlSSlOneT or common SCHOOLS,
The following is from late number of the
Ohio Statesman:
EDIToRs OF THE STATEsMAN:-Please an
nounce Albert d. Wright, of Wood county, as
a candidate for State Commissioner of Com
mon Schools.
For a quarter Of century Mr.. Wright has
been working in the great educational field.
AS a teacher he stands among the first Of his
profession, and as an eductor he has wide
and worthy reputation He has successfully
conducted more Teachers's Institutes than any
other man in Ohio, He has every qualiica-
ton necessary for State Ccmmssioner.
Mr.. Wright is now the editor, at Perrys-
burg,of Democratic newspaper is con-
Quoted with tact and ability. This paper, un-
der Mr.. Wrights management, did good SER
vice for Democracy during the last Presiden-
tial Campaign.
We feel assured that Mr.. Wright is as good
a man as the Democratic party can pat in
nomination, and if elected we believe he will
discharge the duties of that important Office TO
the satisfaction of the people of the State.
ALL TIE NORTH WEST.
April l6th, 1853.
We are somewhat acquainted with Profess
scr Wright, and we take him to be gentle
man. Now, if we are not mistaken in our
opinion of the Professor, he will surely correct
two egregous mistakes ia the above from the
Statesman: First, that "he has conducted sue
cessfully" or unsuccessfully, more Teachers
Ipct if,,tne nth in
Secondly, that "ALL THE NoRTH West" wish
his name announced for State Commissioner
of Common Schools.
We say further, we believe the Professor
will feel indignant to see himself brought be-
fore the public in SO ludicrous and ridiculous
manner.
Prof Wright may be better qualified for
the very important Office of State School Com
missioner, than any other man in the North
West, or even in the whole State, but we
know none who really think SO; or indeed
who think he is qualified at all for the Office
We have heard the names of Senator Rice, Of
Cuyahoga, Thos. W. Harvey, Lorin Andrews
and others, spoken of by the people Of San
dusky county, for that office; but we have
never heard them speak of Prof WIS name
in that connection. The Democrat paper at
Sandusky City (Sandusky Nirror) urges the
nomination of Senator Rice, and trusts the
nomination will be favoraby received. The
Toledo Republican, democrat paper,) wishes
S. W. ellison, Esq, nominated, and says
"Mr G. is equal in qualification to any that
can be found in the State" The Republican
goes on further and says:
"Mr. G.'s high literary attainments, ability
and experience in teaching, close business hab-
its, popular talents for public speaking, and in
defatigabie energy in whatever he undertakes,
eminently qualify him for this important sta
ton No superior can be brought forward, in
whom are combined all these essential quail
ties. Mr.. g. if elected, will inspire the de-
mocracy in this section of the State, with new
zeal, and we think, nure to the interest Of the
ticket"
The Seneca advertiser, (Domocrat,) urges,
we believe, the claims of Prof 7. w. Harvey,
Of Massillon, and declares him 70 be the best
man for State School Commissioner. The
Sandusky County Democrat, and the rest Of
the Democrat papers of the North West are,
as yet, silent on the subject The Wing pa
pers, the teachers and the people as a gener.
al thing. care bound to go for L. Andrews, Of
I 70 hot ha hot a. r
THE NORTH WEST" wish the name of Prof A.
D. Wright announced for the Office of Com.
missioner of Common Schools, is false in the
extreme
