cB Although we have explained it four
times, the editors of the Gazette are yet unable
to understand why it should require more time
to examine into the affairs Of the School Fund
Commissioners in one county than another
We will try once more. The selections of lands
under the 100000 acre grant, were made in
certain counties in this State, which increased,
in some instances. the School Funds in
the hands OF single Commissioners in these
counties, to the large amount Of one hundred
thosuand dollars! In numerous instances these
func,ionaries were incompetent, careless, and
sometimes dishonest, and the papers, bonds,
deeds, etc, in their offices, were in great confu-
sion In other counties, where none of these
bonds were located, and consequently but little
to look after, and where the Fund Commission
ers were competent and honest men, few hours
or few days were entirely sufficient to see that
all was right.
Have we brought it down to your comprehen-
sion gentleman?

Envy--BT !. b. JOHNSON.
Envy is the leproSy of the heart, and es-
says to blight by its contamination, all that
is good, lovely, and useful. 1t converts the
bosom in which it dwells into a Sahara,
whence it sends forth a typhon that is M
tepded TO destroy all save the offspring of is
own morbid and unholy wishes. Sel'-con-
ceit 10 it's parent, and Incidence It's nurse
The ~exorbitant value which the former sets
upon its claims, and the extreme difficulty
Of making that value current, give prece-
deuce TO the loftier but less trowsrd emo
,ions of another, and by this triumph OF q
rival is occasioued the birth Of the tyrant
bastsrd-Eavy, which is the most maIgo OF
moral diseases, and when once fastened upon
tue soul, renders it not only an infection to
the body which it WHITES, but a pest to that
superiority in others which 1t 50 much
loathes. and so much desires to obscure
Panoplied in the full armor Of sel;-ImpUr-
tlpce, Pride speers iuyidiUusly at it, neigh
bors; aud should its snarls fail to iIJure its
superiors, 1t repines IN the sorest ~dlsapp0lnt-
ment because they will prosper in spite Of
its determination to impede their steps to-
wards worth and usefulness.
The invidi us are constantly digging pits
for others, and fall therein themselves; and
50 intent are they upon obstructiog the pro-
yress of their n~cighbors towards prosperity,
that they neglect their own welfare, and per
ish by the wayside, filled 10 the last with
bitterness by The sight Of the ADVANCEMENT
of those whom they would blast by a Look.
The will is It's Own s...ct, and makes good OF
evil or evil of good; and when inVldiously
directed, acknowledges It's own lnieriorlty'
and pays the highest compliment to the merit
of those whom it strives to depress. Merit
needs not even Envy to indicate its worth,
aud, being occupied in the execution ut pure
designs, il is too noble in Its attributes to
stoop TO mean competition aud 10" jealousy.
Hence, those who would escape tue mice
tiop Of envy must avoid the disgusting traits
of pride and eschew the vice OF Incidence;
for no emotion degrades an individual more,
or occasions him less pleasure or more paiU.
The %enviOus man, like q dog baying the
moon, watches The onward steps OF others,
and loses golden oppo, ~tuuities OF improving
bis OWN powers, and Of treading the pa'h
which leads TO theemiuepce which he so men n
ly covets, but has rot the courag &c to strive TO
attain. Therefore, no affection is more de.
,estably inveterate than Euvy; and notw To
standing it may be occasionally ap easel by
the kindly Indifferent treatment oi those
a~rainst whom it is directed, 1t IS sure to re-
lapse again into all its sirulaucy, and to man
Hest ali its former m~aliguity. 1t works by

sZ,~ CITIZENS MEETING At LYCEUN HALL.
In one aspect this was a remarkable meet
ing. | had supposed that the otjeet was to
put the election of men 20 manage the affairs
Of the Corporation upon a healthy tuotlng--to
establish a precedent ignoring party, thereby
sec lring efficiency in the administration OF
the city government.
The objection to mingliDg party politics
with our municipal affairs is, that if incom.
petent men are nominated, the party confer.
ring the nomination are ! lodged TO their sup
port. The essential feature If party organi-
zation is the obligation Of it's members TO
support the ticket. IL matters not by what
name any organization may be designated. II
pledges are exacted either from It's nominees
or from the meeting 10 support the 'l:ket, or
GRy part IF the ticket, it assumes TO all H.
tents and purposes q party character, and Is
liable to the same objection that is urged
against the nominations Of the recent Amer
lean meeting.
The meeting at Lyceum Hall was called for
the very purpose Of condemniog party organ
izstion 10 our elections, and OF securing in
dependence of action a. the polls. 1t was a
meeting for consultation as to the best men TO
be selected. and tue voters were to be left
free to express their own preference at the
ballot. box. If it was not called Tor such pur
pose, it was nothing more nor less than a
party meeting, and stands upon the same
footing with other parties.
If it YVES, as it proiessed to he, a meeting
- iadepmdcmt Of party" how in the name of
common sense could it trammel w'th pledges
any Of It's candidates? AS pledges were
required, the meeting at Lyceum Hall was
nothing more than a rehash OF party organi
cation under a new phase.
