PUBLIC SCHooLS.-The correspondent of the
St Louis RepUbTcan comments as follows on
the public school system Of the city. His re-
marks substantiate what we have heretofore
stated, and it is to be hoped that our citizens
will renew their efforts this winter TO induce
Congress to pass the bill reported at the late
session, making an appropriation for the ben
OF our public schools. The justice of such an
appropriation cannot certainly be questioned,
whom 1t is considered in connection with what
this correspondent says of the school lands in
and around st. Louis: -.
"A subject Of peculiar interest to the District of
columbia will be brought TO the attention Of

The Duty to Vote

Celeridge once said, that Politics and
Religion, mans state here and hereafter,
were tho two subjects most worthy of our
serious thought and attention. We agree
with him. Yet many people interested
in the latter, pay little attention to the
former subject. Many honest people, dis
gusted with the trickery and falsity Of pol
itics discard it altogether. This is all
wrong.
If ambitious and unsafe men arc enea-
ged in politics, every true citizen will take
a deeper interest in it by reason of that
fact. 1t is playing a towards part to
desert the post in the hour of danger.
A good citizen is no more justified in me-
glecting to vote, than a good christian is
in neglecting to pray.

now let us stop. Let us not by voting
for WAsHBURNE, and other true men and
friends of freedom, entail upon ourselves
ages of agony and remorse. But we fear
some will not heed us. They will vote

Good ADVICE

The W5sconsin, an Independent paperi
in n recent article makes the following.
sensible remarks:-
In casting vote for members of Con-
gress, it should never be forgotten that
the members of Congress who are now
elected from Wisconsin, may cast q vote
for the next President of the United States.
Freeneen Of Wisconsin,, you refused to
give JAMES BUCHANAN the vote of Wis
consin, by $4,000 majority. Is there
anything that you have seen in his fnan-'
cial policy, Or his prostitution CT all the
power Of the government to carry the
Lecompton fraud, that you desire to elect
another President to carry out the policy
of Pierce and Buchanan If you do,
you will vote for Brown, DUNN, and LAR
RABEE. If on the contrary, you desire n
thorough reform at Washington, in 1860.
you will vote for POTTER, BnLINGHURsr,
and WAsHBURNE. The right vote no,o,
will assure the right vote then,

THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the recent elections IN
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, are such
as cannot fail to cheer the hearts and
strengthen the hands of the true friends
of Freedom everywhere. The present
rotten, unprincipled, INSCRIPTIONS Adj
mInistration has received a most just and
whitening rebuke. The contest in these
States has been truly desperate one;
especially in Pennsylvania and Indiana,
where money has been poured out like
water, and the immense power and pa
tronage of the Administration had been
brought to bear, with all the force and
ingenuity that able and reckless dema-
gogues could exert. Yet in the face OF
these untoward circumstances the freemen
of those States have elected the Repubi-
can ticket by sweeping majorities.
In Indiana the present Congressional
delegation stands administration mem
bers to 5 opposition In the next Con-
gress it will stand 8 opposition to 2 adj
ministration,
In Ohio, the present delegation stands
IL administration to 10 opposition. The
next delegation will stand IA opp. to Z
adm. The Republican State Ticket was
carried by largely increased majority.
In the 18th Congressional district, Tom.
Corwin is elected by 5000 majority.
In Pennsylvania the Republican STATE
Ticket is elected by over Twenty Thou
sand Majority, and out Of 25 members
of Congress the administration has elected
but 2. JEHU CLANCY JONES, the perso-.
nal friend of Buchanan, his Premier in
the House of Representatives, who has
zealously supported the Lecompton I'M
putty and all other administration mea-
sures, who is one of the few members
who have always stood fairly and square
ly on the administration platform-has
been defeated by JOHN SCHWARTZ, an
anti-Lecompton Democrat-and this, too,
in Old Berks, which has been famous for
the last thirty five years as the most reli-
able Democratic county in the United
States, and which gave Buchanan 1925
majority over Fremont. Truly, this is
glory enough for one day.
JEHU is very naturally supposed to be
disguised with the views Of the people,
and is about to leave the present field of
his political labors, and retire to the MIN
istry. The President, in consideration of
the zeal and ability with which he has
driven the Democratic hack into the
ground, has assigned him Austria as the
field of his future usefulness.

and firmness, any addition to this Union,
of slaveholding territory as SUI; h, and will
oppose all further extension of Ii, slavery

The opposing candidates for the Regis
tiers Office, Messrs. CAIRNS and FUTILE,
are both citizens of this place, both hon
orable men, and both Republicans. Mr..
Cairns was nominated by Republican
Convention, and Mr. Tuttle by Demo-
cratic one. For reasons satisfactory to
US, we opposed the nomination of Mr..
Cairns, and favored MIR. Tuttle's nomina-
ton by the Republicans. As the matter
now stands, Mr.. Cairns has our hearty
support. Let the Republicans walk up
to the polls and elect him.

Democratic County COnvem-
lion. aaa 81

The Democrats held their County
Convention at Trimbelle on Tuesday last.
We went over to take notes, and see how,
mon would put up candidates for the
people to vote down. Six towns, River
Falls, Clifton, Oak Grove, TrimbelIe,
Martell, Perry and the city of Prescott
were represented. -ed
JOEL Foster was chosen Pres, and
DR.. J. M. WHIpPLE Sec. The first bust
ness was to exclude from the room all
who were not delegates, with the excep-
ton Of the representatives of the North
Western Democrat, and the JOURNAL.
This action seemed hardly democratic,
bat perhaps was polite, in order to secure
the delegates from any outside pressure.
Being thus protected from untoward in
fuences, the Convention proceeded to bal
lot for officers, and the following uonlina-
nations were made: .s-
Sheriff.. s. Falkenberg.
Clerk Of Circuit Court-W. Jay Whipple.
Rcgister-T, G. Tuttle. 1
Clerk Of Board OF supervisors-H. Teachout
1reasurer-A. O. Snyder. 0o5
Surucyor-Hiram Bennett. "3fta4
District -dttorney-J. w. Hill. e5 fes
Coroner-Ole Rasmussen. H
"a IS g
We styled this Democratic Con
vention, though one would hardly know
it from the nominations. Falkenberg
and Teachout have been esteemed Repub-
leans, and Tuttle's republicanism was not
questioned or denied in the Convention.
Messrs. Whipple, Snyder and Hill are
undoubted Democrats, and no doubt per-
sonally popular and well qualified foI
the offices for which they are nominated.
We can heartily commend them as men,
and oppose them as politicians. Messrs.
Bennett and Rasmussen we suppose are
Democrats, though we have no personal
knowledge Of them. We are not inform
cd whether the ticket will be called
Democratic" or "Independent."
There was but little strife except in re-
gard to the nomination for Register
Judge Foster strongly opposed Mr.. Tut
tie because he was a Republican, and 9th
ers supported him because they thought
he would sswin." The strife was waia
the Judge sticking for Democracy, and
the opposition for success. One delegate
expressed his opinion that they "wanted
one man they could elect" When Mr..
Tuttle was nominated, the Judge pro-
posed that the Convention nominate G.
w. Cairns for some office. 1t is needless
to say the Judge was Disguised.
The Convention passed no resolutions,
nor defined their position. We do not
see any prospect of success for any of the
nominees except Mr.. Tuttle, and his
strength lies only in the dissatisfaction of
Republicans. Will they suffer any nomi-
nee on their regular ticket to be defeated?
We trust not.
