The PhGFtr still claims that the Republican pnrtv
has no sympathy for the final abolition of Slavery and
will "never count enance" such an attempt.-Free-
man.
THE PHOENIX does not nor has it ever made
any such claim as the Freeman above states.-
Not word nor syllable that we have ever ut
tered or written can bequoted from the assertion.
That we have no more sympathy for men who
cndeavor TO ride into position and power in the
Republican party upon the donkey of political
abolitionism, as illustrated at the Bradford Con-
vention of February last, than we have with
those who seek to cover up their own ignorant
assumptions under the cloak of misrepre senta-
ton, is sufficiently evident to all who read THE
PHGNIX.

TIE HIGH ScHooL.-Mr. Editor had the plea
sure few days ago of attending an examination of
our Village High School under the charge of Mr.
Charles A. Miles, Graduate of Harvard College, of
the class of 1853. The day was warm and but n few
visitors were present. The number of parents who
had children in the school was to my great surprise,
SMALL very small But the examination was highly
satisfactory. The classes in their several rectatons,
in Algebra, Arithmetic, Philosophy, Latin, Spelling,
Definition and Reading, showed great degree of
thoroughness accuracy and prompness. 1t has seldom
been my lot to hear good Rotations 1t was very
evident that the Teacher is an accurate and thorough
scholar perfectly familiar with the subjects he teach
es, prompt and energetic in his method of teaching
and consclentousy faithful in the performance of his
labors The school seemed to be in perfect ORDER and
to have received the very best training The deca-
nation, to close the exercises, of few pupils of both
sexes, did great credit both to Teacher and Pupils
think if Mr.. Miles should continue in the school, it
will soon take high rank and be what it was in its
early and palmy days. II.

SEVERE But JUsT-Francis p. Blair has pub
lished another letter in proof of Col. Bentons
hostility to the leading measures of Buchanans
administration, denied by William Carey Jones,
but not doubted by any well informed person.
Mr. Blair brands Mr. Buchanans oficious visit
to Col. Bentons death bed and his patronage
of Jones as a continuation of 'thc cozening pol
icy of a conscious intriguer in arraying on his
side the sons of the great men whose confidence
he had forfeited" He says =
"1hc mode in which Mr. Buchanan has at
tempted to relieve himself from the weight Of
the testimony borne by the eminent men asso-
ciateG with him in public life, strikingly shows

who owes everything to Gen Jackson but his
existence, was induced to rebuilt the solemn
written statement of his illustrous benefactor.
by publishing in the newspapers a declaration
that he had heard him speak in his family circle
in the most exalted terms of Mr. Buchanan
thus attempting to make the impression that
his fathers letter was false to his honest CON
viction. Mr. Clay's son is of too elevated a
character to express his confidence in a man
whom his father accused of corruption on his
own knowledge. Yet, Young Mr. Clay's assoc
Citations with the southern party, which for party
purposes has placed Mr. buchanan in power,
brings them together, and this converted adroit-
ly by the latter, through his extreme Difference
to Mr. Clay into an appearance of confidential
relations, implying that the imputations of the
father have no weight with the son. To bolster
himself with that portion of the public cherish

an early day put his mark upon him in a pub

rewards him with a lucrative office TO take off
the memory of the fathers repugnance to him.
The attempt TO appropriate the influence and

devoted by Col Benton to the country, is in
keeping with this last exploit of patronage"

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

OUR VILLAGE SCHOOLS 1t is now about sixteen
years since the citizens of this village took the lead
i'll establishing system of graded common schools
in Vermont and the success attending its introduce
ton here has alrca dy led to the introduction of the
same system in most of the principal villages the
state Although we have had the misfortune Of
occasionally getting an incompetent teacher for a
time, must expect in all schools, experience
has convinced us that the system is right more eco
nomical, and better calculated to give children Il
thorough education than any other.
The summer term of our central school, or the one
of highest grade has just closed with most saiisac-
tory examination. This school is under the insruc-
ton Of Mr.. Miles, graduate of Harvard College, Il
most accomplished scholar, and possessing every
qualification necessary to fit him for his place The
discipline of the school was most perfect and the re-
citations in Latin, Algebra, Philosophy, Reading,
Eocution etc. alike creditabe TO the pupils and
their teacher
Among the many privileges Of residence in our
pleasant village it is not the least to men of modcr
ate means that their children may have access to
these schools, Mt II small tax where they may obtain

expensive ones. Let citizens see to it that
these schools do not lose their present high reputation

Beautiful Bird from the Island Of ID rcams.

A beautiful bird from the Island of dreams
Has furled on my bosom its wings,
Aud song Of that Isle, with its lovchauntcd
streams,
And its sky where the day-star of Poesy beams,
This wondrous messenger sings.
magical cage, for this glorious bird,
From tissue Of fancies I've wrought,
And now its wild lays of enchantment are heard
Where echoes each note, like a musical word
Through the shadowy chamber of Thought.
BY Memory draped, with her tapestry spun
From the threads of the past, for her loom
Weaves pictures partaking Of shadow and sun
Life pictures that charm, as they drop one by one,
Though the background be shaded with gloom.
And 10 ! where this mystical tapestry waves,
BY the magic of Memory wrought,
Rare gems doth she bring from her deep haunted
caves,
And with strange mosaics most cunungly paves
These shadowy chambers of Thought.
And every heart-jewe she brings from afar,
From the echoing caverns of years,
On these crystalline floors flashes forth like star
Though oft in their midst is some delicate spar
That has grown meath the dropping of tears
For Sorrows dark raven has folded its wings,
And sometimes I've heard its sad screams
Where Memory all OF her rich treasure brings,
Aud where, in the bright cage of Fancy, now singi
This bird from the Island of Dreams
Then the tapestry swayed meath its shadow o.
gloom,
And thrilled with its breathings of woe,
And Hopes healthfu cheek lost its radiant bloom
For tears trickled down over Memory's loom
With a silent and sorrowful flow.
But since this sweet minstrel has flown to my
breast,
From his isle in the ocean of Slepn
That raven has fed to its cold, murky nest,
And bright, hopeful dreams thro' the orient res
OF my song haunted spirit now sweep.

E.P. KENNEDY, of Hawkinsyille. was attacked

E. +. KENNEDY, of Hawkinsvile, was attacked
at his door by Indians on Sunday night week.
The Chr0ntcte says: He was reused from his
bed by three Indians, who began peltng him with
stones, one of which struck and knocked him
down. He soon recovered the blow, got hi rife
and proceeded again TO the door, when the In
dians commenced promiscuous fire upon him
with pistols. Kennedy fired his rife among them,
the contents taking effect in the abdomen of Tie
John, and when the Others advanced he broke his
gun over the head Of another The third, in at.
tempting to cock his pistol to shoot Mr. Kennedy,
discharged it prematurrly, the contents lodging
in his own foot, and he sank to the ground. dis
abled. We learn that TIE John, the In.ian who
received the contents Of the rife, has since died
of his wounds
