Boys, do you Hear That? i?

Professor Knorr, in the course of some remarks
before the Common Council of the city of Phil.
adelphia, on the appropriation bills, and more
especially the estimates for the public schools,
stated, that there are 52,9ss pupils now in at
tendance at the public schools and it has been
estimated that there are from FIVE to seven thou
sand children awaiting admission. With such an
immense population growing up in our midst, is
It not important that we should rather increase
our appropriation, and see it udiciously expended
than reduce its Time win prove that increased ex-
penditures, and consequently capacities of schools
win relieve the necessity for the very large amount
now required for police, almshouses, and houses Of
refuge What does it cost to educate
pupil at our high school, including interest upon
the cost Of the building, furniture, and apparatus
say $4,000. The entire cost is less than $40 per
annum for each pupil. Such course in private
academies or colleges would cost two or three
times that amount, an expense that would have
shut out from such important privileges the great
est portion of the 5000 boys that have been there
taught.
Allegations have been made that the results Of
the high school are not such as to justify the ex-
pense; that its graduates 90 not favorably COM
pare with those of other institutions. 1t is difIi
cult to refute a vague charge of this kind; STILL If
members win inquire for themselves, in almost
any walk of active life, they will find abundant
evidences that the graduates of the high school
have already made favorable impression upon the
mechanical and commercial interests Of our city.

9th. A change in the laws OF naturalization,

18th. Opposition to the reckless and unwise
policy of the present administration in the general
management of our national affairs, and more es-

places; as shown In trucking subserviency TO

opening sectional agitation, by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise; as shown in granting to un-

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1866.
vEsPAsIAN ELLIS, Editors.
SAMUEL Q. BUSEY,
Nominating Convention.

II is generally known tnat the Nominating
Convention Of the American party, TO select
candidates for President and Vice President,
will meet on the 22d instant pursuant TO
resolve of the National Council, adopted in
June last. We have hitherto suggested post.
ponement of the nomination, on the ground
that we ought to know who are to be the nom
-inees of the anH-Americsn, alias Forney and
Pierce party, before making nominations for
the support Of the Americans But reflection
has satisfied us that the American nomination
cannot be made too soon, and we therefore
hope there will be no postponoment, but that
the Convention will proceed without delay to
place the American nominees before the coun-
try We regard it as wholly unimportant who
are to be the candidates Of the anti-American
party: let them be who they may, union
among the Americans will insure the defeat Of
the Antics, and the triumph of American prin.
ciples, in the election of sound American
statesmen.
We have arrived at the conclusion, that a
delay in the nomination of candidates would
probably result in disaster to our cause. If
time be given for the creation and manifesto
ton of local OF sectional divisions in our ranks,
future convention of the American party
would be embarrassed, if not seriously divided,
by local or sectional Observation-Disclosures
ings and dissensions would follow, and defeat
might be the final result. There are prominent
and we'll known Americans now before the
public, from whom selection can be made
which will be acquiesced in by the American
party, ifmade before the local or sectional pre-
ferences above alluded to, shall have been too
strongly manifested. But if these sectional
preferences shall not only have been formed
and manifested, but shall also have become
fixed and ilnmovable, no other than disas-
trous result can follow. There is danger, great
danger, that postponement of the nomination
would render the American party less harmo-
NOUS than it is now
Let brief comprehensive, and conservative
platform of American principles be adopted
one which will silence agitation on the ques-
tons which have for year or two past divided
and disturbed the country; let elimination
and recrimination cease in our ranks; let
candidates be selected who arc not obnoxious
to any prejudices arising from participation
| in the contests to which we have referred, and
| the American party will vanquish the enemy
with certainty and ease AT least such is our
judgment in the matter, and therefore we shall
urge the immediate nomination of candidates
for the ensuing Presidential campaign by the
American Nominating Convention.

station, (whether of native or foreign birth, who

scripton to any foreign prince, potentate or power
