ously and indefatigably attended to their
duties; but as noxious vapoEs are soon dis
sipated by heathful breezes, so is error or
evil speaking soon put down BY the consol-
ing voice of truth, while consciousness Of
recIitude and propriety causes the shafts
Of malice or envy to pass unheeded and
harmlessly by. 1t is, We believe, allowed
by all, and they are many, who have visi-
ted the schools in Fremont, that they never
were in SO prosperous and aourishing a
condition as at the present So it is not
with the citizens Of Fremont, that the con-
tumely. contempt and abuse contained in
the article alluded 10, can have any infu-
ence; nor would they have been noticed
by me, were it not for the danger of their
making an unfavorsble impression upon the
people of the surrounding country, who
might naturally have supposed our semina-
ry would vie with those Of the metropolis
of any other counties Of nothern Ohio, but
seeing such statements from our own press,

unanswered; justice to the schools, and 10
the public, demanded such gross allega-
tions should be refuted.

who superintended the schools last year,
faithfully discharged bis duties, gra.uitous-

may know does not amount 10 much, when
all things are considered l must be ex-
cused for having spent some little time in
the apprehension Of the most singular piece
of pseudography that ever came to my

the tax TO build a school house. l now

"Instructing the delegation, from that
5tate, to oppose the introduction of slavery
into any of The territories of the United

repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. Mr..
Cass said he should neither .folloW tie IN

of resolutions were passed on the 10th inst.
by vote of % 10 5, one demOcrn. voting
in the affirmative. It is certain that the

lndons:-
Resolusd. That our Senators in Congress
be. and they are hereby, instructed, and
our Representatives requested, to vote for,
and use their best exertions to procure the
passage of an act Of Congress that shall pro-
hibit the introduction or existence of slavery
in any of the territories ofthe United States,
and especially in Kauzss and Nebraska; and
to introduce, without delay, bill for this
latter purpose.
II now remains to be seen whether CAss

lions and introduce such bill, or resign
We don't believe they will do either.

ought to build good School Houses and
enough to accommodate al the children
that are capable fgoing to school. hope
every man in this corporation will vote fol
the tax. I know every 'oon'an OOUll j,

and have such men proposed for School Di-
rectors. as will do their ,chols duty. regard
less of the favors or reprOaehes of any one
but as the time is so short do not know
as such a meeting could be held Il

taxpayers of this town. We want n good

not it for them at all, and it is a disgrace
to Fremont. l am willing to help pay a
tax. If the rich men want TO have poor
schools and our children learn but li;tle,
the way for them to do is 10 oppose this tax.

will serve you SO, if you give them the same
cause. Let all persons, therefore, see that
you do care for them, by showing them

es in some very curious observations phlo-
sophically explaining the cause. 1.-The mis-
letoe has always been esteemed as a sacred
evergreen. used by the ancient Gauls in
their worship, and still revered in France.
1t is particularly thetype Of feminine nature,
however, in two of its peculiarities:-Its
berry contains a single seed shaped ike a
heart, and it is incapable of life except as a
grattupon another existence. the tree to which
it cIings. The misletoe has never been
known ;odraw its support from being plant
ed in the earth, and can thrive and bloom
only with the sap from other roots. The la
dies of Paris, therefore, are, at present,
owning up, to their lovely but secondary
existence, and paying due homage to the
stronger gender, by wearing the pretty ad
mission in their boEnets."

The summer time beauties to hail.
We greet them with rapturous giadness,
