Mr.. Hall The Democracy have Just achieved
another splendid triumph. Some weeks ago the
board of education IN township near by, deeming
it necessary and desirable to establish centre or
high school in the place, proceeded 10 make their
estimate Of the sum necessary to be expended for
the purpose, and called meeting of the legal vo-
tiers ofthe township agreeably to the provisions OF
the Statute on the subject. The measure had re-
ceived the cpuntenance of some very respectable
citizens, but unfortunately they were mostly wings
aud free soilers. On the day, and long before the
hour of meeting, the house began to be tbronged
with Democrats. | use the word not 10 it's pure
and primitive, but corrupt and modern acceptat on
Directly on the meeting being organized and the
notice read, the master spirit of Locofocosm and
Maine Lawism in the place, rose and announ-
ced that the measure was undemocratic-tha to
build school house would make it necessary to
levy a tax on the dear people and teacher
would be necessary. which would require another
tax. However he ventured to make motion to
raise the estimated amount (Sl20o) to buy site
and build house. An amendment was proposed
and accepted reducing the sum to $500. The chair
put the motion, but the undemocratic monster, tar
alton had done the job for it. Twenty five men
only, all told ventured to riss in its fav,r. fThere
were in the neighborhocd of two hundred voters in
the house) The result was received with a dem

school law men alone could make, literally vel

state Conven.tan.

Some of our friends are discussing the proprie-
ty of calling convention at early day.
We can see no good that would result from such
convention, and are opposed to it. Congress is
just about to meet. The Legislature assemblies in
January, and, although we know what the admin
istration will do, and what the leading spirits de-
sire; yet they then will shoto their hands in ac-
tion, SO that the people can them until the
spring, if not later.
For the friends of freedom and progress to meet
in convention before this, would, in our judgment
be waste of time and means. and might repe
many liberals Oh all sides from uniting with us
and possibly weaken US just when aud where we
most needed strength. .-
Enthusiasm and earnestness are great virtues
but patience is as great as either of them. Let u
abide by our time. What say you brethren of tn
press? Speak out. PdinespiHe Telegraph.

Ma. HALL:-Accompanying the official abstract
of the votes in Portage County at the late election
published 10 the STAR l nptice under the above
heading some rather severe comments. in relation
to the errors made by judges and Clerks in the
election returns.
Now it appears to me, whoever wrote rhat arli-

was condemning and yet such is the fact as shown
by the official vote as published, and which any
person can see by referring to the list.

abstract shows that Nelson returned IO3 votes for

the case of Mr.. Crocker this year.

say. has the credit of making an entirely correct
